Chapter 386 Cicada, Mantis, Oriole

He Wei looked at Zhang Dingshan with a look of despair, but she saw Zhang Dingshan's face was serious, and it didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Look here."

Zhang Dingshan called up another section of surveillance.

It was the image of the young man bumping into a vendor stall, knocking the watermelon off, arguing with the vendor, and finally attracting the attention of the security officer.

Lu Ming was a little confused at first, but after reading it carefully, he gradually understood.

"This guy...he did it on purpose. What was the purpose of deliberately attracting the security officers? It could only be a test. He was testing whether the security officers were here to arrest him.

However, taking such a proactive approach without any scruples... This guy must have a hidden agenda. This method gave him complete confidence that he could deal with these security officers and the arresting forces that might be hidden in the dark.

He Wei, you didn't take action at that time, which is indeed not a bad thing, but a good thing. "

He Wei squinted her eyes and looked at the man carefully: "I'm sure I can subdue him within two seconds. He won't be able to use any means."

Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "The Operations Department of the Planetary Security Bureau does not need a lone hero. If you can plan and act later, why should you take unnecessary risks one-on-one?"

He Wei was silent for a moment, and finally nodded angrily: "Okay."

Zhang Dingshan looked at Lu Qingliang: "What's his name? Details?"

Lu Qingliang immediately said: "His name is Han Rui. He is from Dayu City. He is 28 years old and is a freelancer. He makes a living by shooting videos and writing travel guides. Of course, this is only on the surface. During this period, His specific itinerary is as follows: One month ago, he set off from Dayu City and took a train to Haiyuan City..."

After recounting Han Rui's itinerary, Lu Qingliang finally said: "The last time the surveillance system captured him was 20 minutes ago. He entered a shopping mall and probably went to eat."

He Wei looked at Zhang Dingshan, a little eager to try: "Do you want to take action?"

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head: "No. Don't do anything now. The suspect may have hidden methods. To arrest him now, there are too many people and the environment is too complicated, and accidents may happen. We should wait for him to arrive around Xiaoshu Village as planned. Arrest him later."

He Wei seemed a little unwilling. But after thinking about it, he finally said nothing.

She knew very well that she had already locked onto Han Rui at this moment. In the city, it is almost impossible for him to disappear silently. In this case, arresting at one's own home court is indeed a safer plan. You cannot bring uncertain risks to your plan just because you are eager to save face.

"yes."

She forcibly suppressed the impulse in her heart and began to work with Zhang Dingshan to study Han Rui's information, become familiar with the terrain around Xiaoshu Village, and formulate concealment and capture plans.

During this process, more details about Han Rui were unearthed. For example, data shows that Han Rui "travels" an average of four to six times a year, each lasting between one week and one month. After returning from the trip, he will publish some photography works or travel guides and claim to use them as a source of income.

This has indeed brought him a relatively generous income, which is enough to support his travels and higher consumption, such as buying a house, a car, and visiting high-consumption places.

——At least on the surface, his income relies on this freelance job.

But after checking his self-media account and so on, several members of the second operation team immediately noticed something was wrong.

His popularity is not high. At the same time, his published works are also full of perfunctory and rough. This means that with this career alone, it would be good for him to have a subsistence income. How could he earn so much money?

money laundering.

This word immediately appeared in several people's minds.

The real situation should be that the money was his reward for carrying out the murder. The so-called freelancing is just a cover for money laundering.

This is another clue.

He Wei became more and more convinced that this Han Rui must be the person he was looking for.

"Qing Liang, mobilize some financial experts to investigate this Han Rui carefully and see who laundered the money for him and what is the true source of the money. Well... By the way, not now. Wait until the person is arrested. We’ll check again later so as not to alert others.”

"yes."

Zhang Dingshan was convinced that as long as he caught the "thread" of Han Rui, the subsequent thread balls would eventually be pulled out bit by bit, no matter how long they were.

At this moment, the final lurking and arresting plan has been formulated. After disappearing for a period of time, Han Rui was captured by surveillance again and included in the strict surveillance network of Operation Team 2.

Time passed quietly, and everything was being prepared in full swing.

It was dark in a blink of an eye. At this moment, Zhao Zonghai had woken up from his sleep.

His middle-aged body cannot provide him with the youthful vitality of his youth, where "as long as he sleeps, all fatigue will disappear", but it still makes him feel much better. Coupled with the night fishing operation that he was thinking about, he got up from the bed quickly and saw that his wife had finished eating and went to dance in the square.

My youngest son, who is in high school, is doing homework in the living room. After chatting with his son for a few words, Zhao Zonghai took a few bites to pad his stomach and started washing the dishes.

The wife cooks and Zhao Zonghai washes the dishes. This is the division of labor determined by the two after hundreds of quarrels in the family.

After washing the dishes, Zhao Zonghai gave his son a few words, picked up the fishing rod, picked up the fishing box, got on the tram, and went out.

First, he went to an acquaintance's neighbor to cut some cooked meat and mix a cold dish, then Zhao Zonghai went straight to Xiaoshu Village.

"Attention, all groups, attention, all groups, Target No. 1 has set off and is expected to arrive in one hour."

"Received, received. Target No. 2 has also set off and is expected to arrive in 40 minutes."

"Target No. 3 has entered a restaurant at the moment and is eating."

At this moment, large-scale concealment and lurking have not yet begun. It won't start until it's completely dark, in the dead of night, under the cover of night. However, there are already a few guards guarding the fishing position near Xiaohe Village at this moment.

So, they saw Horford, a vegetable vendor with a slightly bald head and a slightly fat belly, holding his electric scooter with his legs and taking out his mobile phone: "Hey, Lao Zhao, where are you? I'm here, just under the tree. "

"Come on, come on, right away."

After hanging up the phone, Horford looked around boredly, waiting for Zhao Zonghai's arrival.

He didn't realize at all that there were several guards staring closely at him in the wasteland next to him. He also didn't know that at an altitude of more than 200 meters - a height that would completely prevent the sound of drones from being heard from the ground. , and no drones could be seen. There were more than a dozen drones equipped with infrared night vision functions circling at all times.

A huge net, a trap, is quietly opening.

At around seven o'clock, Zhao Zonghai finally arrived. The two chatted casually for a few words, then each pushed the tram towards the corner of the river.

When they arrived at the place, Horford moved down the foam box filled with beer and ice cubes, while Zhao Zonghai took out the cooked meat and cold dishes.

The two of them separated a distance to avoid disturbing each other, and then sat down separately, chatting and operating at the same time.

The two fishing rods were quickly thrown down, and the night fishing officially began.

The night gradually deepened, and the nearby Xiaoshu Village fell into silence.

There are no more pedestrians on the village roads. The lights in various courtyards were gradually extinguished, with only the street lights still emitting dim light. The occasional barking of dogs not only did not break the tranquility of the village, but made the small village even more peaceful.

The covert operation began.

He Wei led dozens of well-trained guards, carrying various weapons, without taking any transportation, and sneaked directly from the wilderness in another direction to the vicinity of Zhao Zonghai and Horford, using various terrains and equipment , successfully hidden among the weeds and night.

Insects chirped and the breeze blew gently. Even if someone were passing by at this moment, they would not notice that there were dozens of people hiding in this place.

Lu Ming was in another place, watching the status of each lurking guard and the movements at the scene in real time through the large vehicle-mounted monitoring screen. Next to them are several liaison officers and drone pilots, who are also working intensively.

Zhang Dingshan is not here. At this moment, he was in Haiyuan City, sitting in the back seat of a car, with Han Rui's car in the distance.

Han Rui did not go directly to Xiaoshu Village. Instead, he returned to his residence again. At this moment, the second operation team had found out that this was a daily rental house rented by Han Rui.

At this moment, there are already more than a dozen cars around Xiangye Community and Han Rui's residence, and dozens of guards are closely monitoring Han Rui's every move, ready to execute the next order at any time.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. The old piece of paper in Hu Shan's dream showed Zhao Zonghai's death time at around one o'clock in the morning.

There is not much time left, it seems that Han Rui should set off to the scene. But at this moment, his room was still quiet, without any movement.

It seemed that Han Rui had fallen asleep.

This made Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming, who was in real-time contact with him, slightly worried.

Although we have almost determined that Han Rui must be weird, if Han Rui really leaves for the vicinity of Xiaoshu Village and meets up with Zhao Zonghai and Horford, it will undoubtedly further solidify his suspicion. If he didn't go in the end, it might mean some changes, or some key points hidden in the dark that we haven't noticed yet.

"do not care."

Lu Ming thought secretly: "Zhao Zonghai will definitely not die today anyway. When the time comes, the worst possible scenario is to break into Han Rui's residence and catch him directly. The dragnet has been set, and no matter what Han Rui chooses, he will not be able to escape."

No matter how the situation changes, Lu Ming chooses to sit firmly on Diaoyutai.

The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.

Zhao Zonghai and Horford are cicadas, Han Rui is the praying mantis, and we... are the oriole.

Time passed slowly, and it was past eleven o'clock in a blink of an eye.

Xiangye community gradually became quiet. The lights of various families in the building have also been turned off, and parents who took their children to play have also returned home. Most of the stalls that set up stalls have also been closed down, and only a few stalls that specialize in business for people returning home at night are still there.

The number of vehicles on the road has also begun to decrease, and the huge torrent of trams has long disappeared.

At this time, the remote monitoring equipment clearly captured the door of the house Han Rui rented being opened. Wearing a peaked cap and a mask, Han Rui, who looked thinner, walked out carrying a backpack.

Zhang Dingshan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Target No. 3 has appeared! It should be heading to the scene. All units will monitor closely and be careful not to be discovered!"

"yes!"

Zhang Dingshan saw that Han Rui called an online taxi and headed directly towards Xiaoshu Village. However, after checking the background of the online car-hailing software, it was found that Han Rui's final destination was not Xiaoshu Village, but a place about three kilometers away from Xiaoshu Village.

Zhang Dingshan ignored him and still followed him, staring at him.

In about half an hour, the online taxi arrived at the destination. Han Rui got out of the car, carried his backpack, and walked directly towards Xiaoshu Village.

Zhang Dingshan noticed that Han Rui's route selection seemed to be very methodical. He never takes the high road, only the small road. Sometimes they even go around wild areas.

"He is avoiding surveillance." Zhang Dingshan immediately understood: "He has already planned the route in advance and is very familiar with it."

This is another solid piece of evidence that once again proves that Han Rui must be connected to this matter.

But Zhang Dingshan still didn't act rashly, and he didn't take advantage of the fact that there were no ordinary people around Han Rui at this moment, so he didn't have to worry about other consequences.

Han Rui walked, and the guards also walked. Moreover, after knowing Han Rui's destination in advance, covert tracking and monitoring will be easier and more convenient. This is not difficult for well-trained guards.

After walking for about half an hour, Han Rui finally arrived at Xiaoshu Village as expected, and then walked to the edge of Xiaoshu Village.

At this moment, the straight-line distance between him and Zhao Zonghai and Horford is less than 300 meters. But under the cover of night, the two of them failed to notice that another person was approaching them.

"Attention, all groups, attention, all groups, Target No. 3 has arrived at the scene."

Lurking in a patch of weeds, He Wei, wearing camouflage uniforms and covered with mud and weeds, began to sharpen her vision and narrowed her eyes slightly, like a leopard full of power.

It's almost one o'clock now. If the information displayed on the old piece of paper in Hu Shan's dream is really correct, then... Han Rui should take action at this moment.

Han Rui finally came to a small dirt bag, squatted down and took off his backpack.

It happens to be not far from He Wei, with a straight line distance of only five or six meters. With the help of night vision goggles, He Wei could clearly see Han Rui's every move.

So, she clearly saw Han Rui take out a piece of wet-looking white paper from his backpack, fold it randomly into the shape of a hat, and put it on his head.
