Chapter 19: Pursuit (Part 1)
The man in the shirt saw the look in the third brother's eyes and made a phone call, still speaking Chinese: "The goods will be there at eight o'clock! We have to catch a flight at eight o'clock, so prepare the money."
The man in the shirt hung up the phone and said, "Hey, go check the money."
Wang Shuang and the two officers moved, and the man pointed the phone at Wang Shuang and said in English, "You go."
Wang Shuang looked back at the two police officers. Liu Zhen seemed to have no problem with what he heard: "Let him go."
Owen nodded, and Wang Shuang walked towards the back door of the warehouse.
Liang Xi fell into deep thought. Eight o'clock? Is it their code? Unlikely. Code words are different from codes. Code words themselves have no meaning. Words such as tomorrow, dividends, and shrimp can be used at will. Code words are different. Code words express a meaning. For example, the word "踩点" was originally an ancient jargon. Because this word is more popular, many people still use it in modern times.
Slang? Liang Xi's mind flashed wildly back to the time when his father and Uncle Hei had discussed ancient slang at the table. He was also there at the time, listening with great interest. But Liang Xi definitely didn't have the word "eight o'clock", because ancient slang also used hours as units of time. Chou Shi, Hai Shi, etc.
Then Liang Xi thought of it. Eight o'clock is actually "ba dian", which means anti-smuggling personnel. It was a jargon invented by the salt gang. What does it mean? It means that Wang Shuang betrayed the police. What benefits can Wang Shuang get by betraying the police?
While thinking, Wang Shuang had already walked past Lao San, who slowly backed away facing the two police officers.
Liang Xi leaned over to Baker, pressed the intercom, and tried to speak as quietly as possible, "Wang Shuang is the leader, he wants to run."
While Liu Zhen was still digesting Liang Xi's words, Liang Xi pulled out Baker's pistol and fired a shot at the ceiling. After this shot, Owen and the other two police officers immediately fell to the left and right to find cover, while Lao San and others pulled out their pistols and shot at the two hiding places.
Baker didn't quite understand what was happening, but he had clearly distinguished the enemy from me. Baker took back Liang Xi's pistol and glared at him, then ran to the slide, grabbed both ends of the slide with both hands, and slid down from it. At this time, Wang Shuang and others had retreated to the back door, stretched out their hands and held their guns to shoot blindly into the warehouse. Baker and the police officer advanced tactically and stopped about ten meters away from the back door. There was no cover in these ten meters, so they didn't dare to rush forward. The best way was to wait for support.
Baker shouted from the bottom of the slide: "Liang Xi, what does the captain mean by asking you?"
"Be careful." Liang Xi went down the stairs. When the gunshot rang out, his hand shook and he fell down. Baker was well-trained. He immediately stepped one foot on the ladder and bent his knee. Liang Xi sat on Baker's knee and felt extremely painful.
Baker grabbed Liang Xi with one hand to prevent him from falling. Baker asked, "What does the captain mean by asking you?"
Liang Xi was in so much pain that he could not speak, and pointed at the car at the front door. Baker understood the pain Liang Xi felt when his body cavernous body hit his knee when he fell , and also understood what Liang Xi meant. He grabbed Liang Xi with one hand and ran towards the car at the front door.
Liang Xi struggled: "That's not what I meant. I meant that he ran away in his car, so you should get in the car and chase him."
Baker: I understood that correctly.
Liang Xi: The mistake is: you don’t need to take me with you.
The bumpy ride of more than ten meters almost suffocated Liang Xi, who was unable to speak at all. Baker skillfully pushed Liang Xi into the back seat and drove in pursuit. After starting the car, Baker threw his walkie-talkie and headset backwards. Liang Xi was just about to take a breath when the walkie-talkie hit him in the face. Baker was very dissatisfied: "Hey, why didn't you catch it."
What can I say?
A voice came over the intercom: "Owen was shot in the leg and needs medical support."
Liang Xi picked up the walkie-talkie: "Captain Liu, Wang Shuang is their leader. Don't ask why, it will take me ten minutes to explain." I am already a warrior for being able to say a few words now.
Liu Zhen: "I saw it. He can't get away."
Baker explained: "With just one phone call, the surrounding patrol cars will immediately block the route."
…
The bad guys had two cars in total. Wang Shuang and two of his accomplices got into the back car and fled south. Before they could figure out what was going on, the bad guys' second car, which was parked 30 meters away, encountered the police first and the two sides exchanged fire. Liu Zhen was on the south side. She saw Wang Shuang's car passing by on the road not far away and got in to chase him.
Only after getting in the car did Liu Zhen ask Liang Xi what he meant.
Liu Zhen called the command center, and patrol cars in the surrounding areas started to set up roadblocks. There were only two roads here, one went straight to the gymnasium, and the other turned right to the city.
After hearing Liang Xi say that Wang Shuang was the leader, Liu Zhen immediately asked the driver to step on the accelerator to the bottom. When they were about to reach the intersection, they finally caught up with the taillights of Wang Shuang's car.
Liu Zhen reported: "The suspect vehicle turned right and drove towards the city."
Baker breathed a sigh of relief. He knew there were many patrol cars on this road. As long as the road spikes were laid, the other party would have no chance to escape. Baker smiled and asked, "Hey, is your brother okay?"
Liang Xi was still covering it and shook his head: "Not very good."
Baker: "You haven't thanked me for saving you yet."
Liang Xi: "Thank you for saving me with your knee in time."
Baker: "Haha! I know a gender reassignment doctor. Do you need his phone number?"
Liang Xi was too lazy to talk, so he gave him a middle finger, hoping that he could see clearly in the rearview mirror. Baker did see clearly, but in return he laughed.
At this time, Baker's car reached the intersection. Liang Xi looked at the range of the car lights and suddenly said, "Stop."
Baker was well-trained and slammed the brakes on him instantly. Liang Xi flew from the back seat to the center console: "Fuck."
Baker asked: "Is 'grass' the Chinese word for 'thank you'? "
Liang Xi: "I really don't like your sense of humor right now."
With Baker's help, Liang Xi sat in the passenger seat. While fastening his seat belt, he looked at the intersection and said, "Go straight."
Baker didn't move: "Why?"
Liang Xi replied: "Because I am a detective."
Baker asked back, "Aren't you a translator?"
Liang Xi said: "I work part-time as a detective."
Baker started the car, "Kid, go home and play detective games. We are going to deal with some bad kids now and avenge your brother."
Liang Xi said, "Baker, if Wang Shuang is still in the car, he will never be able to escape. If Wang Shuang is smart enough, he should know that abandoning the car and escaping is his only chance. He is indeed very smart. After getting in the car, he did not drive north to meet up with his brothers, but drove south to avoid the main force of the anti-powder team. Since no one has considered the possibility of Wang Shuang abandoning the car at the intersection , we can consider it. Go straight, south."
Baker stopped the car, looked at Liang Xi for a while, then turned the car and drove towards the gymnasium.
Liang Xi said: "Slow down."
Baker slowed down and looked out. The moon was bright enough today, but he still couldn't see what was happening on both sides of the road. Baker said, "If you're wrong, I'm a deserter."
Liang Xi said: "Just say the intercom is broken."
Baker asked, "How did it break?"
Liang Xi: "It was smashed by my face."
Baker laughed again: "Haha, I like this excuse."
