The sound of rain hitting the car gradually became smaller, and the rain seemed to be stopping.
The car drove to nowhere, and the road seemed to become increasingly bumpy.
Duanmo has been in a semi-awake state. She can hear the sounds around her and feel the changes in the environment, but she is still confused and unable to open her eyes.
There were two gentle knocks on the partition in front, followed by A Xiao's voice: "We're almost there."
Arrived? Where are you?
Judging from the current road conditions, it's not a wilderness, nor much better.
"Xiao Mo, wake up." Xu Huaizheng held Duan Mo in his arms and fed her little by little water with one hand.
Entering the cool water, Duan Mo's consciousness gradually returned: "Where are you?"
Xu Huaizheng did not answer her question directly, but said: "We will change cars later."
…
"Suspicious tire marks were found and it is suspected to be the suspect vehicle."
The car radio connected to the local police finally got the news.
"Report the location." Jiang Mu replied.
After getting the exact location, Lu Wuchuan turned the wheel tightly and turned the car.
This place has entered the mountainous area. After heavy rain, the road is very muddy. Thanks to the high chassis of the off-road vehicle, it would be very difficult for an ordinary car to pass.
The road was winding and winding, and seeing the flashing red and blue police lights not far ahead, it still took several minutes to drive there.
"Hello, Captain Lu, I am Li Jincheng, captain of the criminal police team of the Jiao'an City Public Security Bureau, and this is the guard of the special police team."
Two men came over one after another, the one talking was in his forties and dressed in casual clothes.
The man in the back is wearing a combat uniform, about thirty years old, tall, and looks like a special police officer.
After Li Jincheng shook hands with Lu Wuchuan, he also extended his right hand: "Wei Xu. The tire tracks have been compared. They match the suspect vehicle. It is heading towards the mountains. We have sent people to track it."
He explained the situation clearly in a few short sentences, which shows that he is a capable person.
Lu Wuchuan nodded slightly: "Have you found any other vehicles? I think there should be someone to pick up the car here."
"I haven't found any yet. Maybe it was because of the rain that moved up the mountain and the traces were washed away by the rain," Li Jincheng said.
Wei Xu pointed to the black SWAT command vehicle not far away: "There is a map on the vehicle, and the route into the mountain has been marked. Let's take a look first."
Lu Wuchuan waved his hand and asked Yan Yishuai and the others to get in the car together.
After a brief analysis and discussion, emergency deployment was carried out, and each group of personnel began to advance towards the mountain forest.
There are no road signs or identifiable landmarks on this road. For fear of disturbing the gangsters, all vehicles did not turn on their lights and could only rely on a special police car at the front for guidance.
The criminal police and special police who went to investigate in front sent back the news that four cars and 19 people were found in an open space in the mountains and forests. They were too far away and could only see people refueling the cars and making supplies, and other situations could not be observed.
The place those people chose was rather mysterious. It was next to a cliff, surrounded by woods behind it, and beyond that was the road into the mountain.
The open space is so large that it can be said to be completely uncovered. It is precisely because of this that you cannot enter casually, otherwise you will be discovered by the opponent soon.
…
"The car can only drive halfway up the mountain. We need to climb a section of mountain road. Just hold on and climb over the mountain." Xu Huaizheng gave Duanmo his hiking clothes and hiking shoes, "Put them on, it's still quite cool on the mountain at night. I'll get off.
The car is waiting for you."
His tone was gentle, but he didn't leave any room for rebuttal. After speaking, he got out of the car.
Duanmo shook off the clothes. T-shirts, trousers, jackets, and shoes were all in her size. It seemed that they were specially prepared and not just brought randomly.
There were people talking in low voices outside, and there were sounds of walking back and forth.
She raised her hand to turn off the light and opened the car curtain a small gap.
After the heavy rain, all the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the moonlight shone down, and the puddles on the ground reflected the sparkling light, echoing with the stars in the sky.
Xu Huaizheng was standing not far away, with a slim and tall figure. His black clothes and black trousers made him almost blend into the night. A cluster of flames lit by a lighter reflected on his face. After it was extinguished in an instant, only a little scarlet was left.
A Xiao was beside him, wondering what he was talking about.
He suddenly turned back and looked at the van.
Although she couldn't see his eyes clearly, Duanmo still felt that the line of sight was falling on her face.
She unconsciously took a step back and slowly lowered her finger that was holding the corner of the curtain.
Think back to when Xu Huaizheng said they were going to climb over this mountain. Where would it be on the other side of the mountain?
It should have been around ten o'clock when she was taken away from the hospital, but less than eleven o'clock. Judging from the current weather, it should have been around seven or eight o'clock.
Apart from the time when she made a fuss about going to the toilet, she stopped twice, but they didn't last long. It rained heavily afterwards, so the speed couldn't be too fast.
Judging from the degree of bumpiness, the roads we took along were all county roads or dirt roads.
Calculate based on this time and speed...
Duanmo's eyes widened suddenly, as if she had thought of where she was.
Across the mountains is the sea, with many small islands nearby, some even uninhabited islands.
As long as there is a boat, you can go to any island. If you have a helicopter, you can go anywhere, even abroad!
To put it another way, if you hide on an island, you will not be discovered for ten or eight years, or even your whole life.
Thinking of this, Duan Mo only felt his scalp numb.
She believed that Lu Wuchuan must be looking for her, but if he couldn't arrive in time, the next thing would be very troublesome.
The top priority now is to delay time. The longer you delay, the more hope you will have of being rescued.
"Knock knock" The sound of the glass being knocked was not loud, but it startled her. Then she heard Xu Huaizheng ask outside the car: "Have you changed your clothes?"
"not yet."
"Hurry up, we're about to leave."
"knew."
Duanmo quietly opened the car curtain again. There were people walking around, not even one or two. There was no hope of escaping.
Besides, she didn't want to just run away.
If Xu Huaizheng is allowed to walk away from here, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch him in this life.
But she also knew that hiding in the car all the time was not an option. The purpose now was to delay time, not to anger Xu Huaizheng.
I slowly changed into my hiking clothes, hesitated for a moment, and finally put on my thick-soled hiking shoes with my bare feet.
While changing clothes, there was a layer of sweat on her forehead. She knew that this was not because she was wearing too hot clothes, but because she had a cold sweat. She had a fever again.
The door of the van finally slid open. Xu Huaizheng heard the movement and turned his head slightly, with a smile flashing in his eyes: "It fits quite well."
Then he shook his head towards the off-road vehicle parked in front: "Let's go, let's take that car."
"Wait a minute!" It's already this time, and no one cares about being reserved or not, Duanmo said directly, "I want to go to the toilet."
Except for a few parked cars, there was no cover in this open space. The people present were all men, and she expected that Xu Huaizheng would not let her deal with it behind the car.
If she wanted to find a secluded place, she would have to walk farther away. If she lingered for a while, this trip to the toilet would be a ten-eighth.
