Chapter 24: City search and arrest.
The second group of the third criminal investigation team, as the main processing team for this file, also participated in the search and arrest mission of Sun Qifeng as well as the traffic police after Zheng Kaixuan reported to the branch of the traffic police and asked the whole city to look for him.
Although the suspect could not return home, Tian Li remained in the house to monitor the Huilongguan community. One person had to remain on the scene vigilant.
When Han Bin and Li Hui went to the traffic police monitoring center and checked the tapes of the road surveillance cameras with Zhao Ming, Zheng Kaixuan, and Zhang Ping, as well as the police from the police station, set up roadblocks on the main road to investigate.
The bus station and train station also issued search warrants against the suspect.
In order not to sow panic among the population, the whole operation is tight inside and let loose on the outside, which can also reduce the suspect's vigilance and facilitate the arresting work.
At ten o'clock in the evening, at the traffic police monitoring center, Han Bin and Li Hui were at the monitoring room with instant noodles and ham when Zhao Ming came to meet them and said, "You are still here checking, my eyes are almost out of place."
"Let's take a break and have something to eat," Han Bin said.
Zhao Ming tore the bags of the instant noodles, took hot water, and said: "This Sun Qifeng, it seems he is disappeared. I have checked the surveillance from the incident until today, but there was no clue. You can think of, where can he go?"
Han Bin had been busy all day and couldn't eat, so he dipped into a plate of instant noodles: "Sun Qifeng's car, the last time it appeared under surveillance, was on a small road near the victim's house, and has just driven on the small road. He couldn't have left Qingdao City by car."
"In other words, the suspect is likely he's hiding somewhere in town," Li Hui said.
"It is not excluded that the suspect changed his mode of transportation," Han Bin said.
"If Sun Qifeng abandons the car and goes into another car, the search work will be even more difficult," Zhao Ming said.
"I think we should always find the car. If Sun Qifeng does not change the means of transport, we will naturally find him; if he took another means of transport, we must also adjust the search direction in this time."
"Why don't you report to Captain Zheng and ask him to search near the path where you saw the van, maybe he will get a clue," Zhao Ming said.
Han Bin glanced at his watch and said, "It's already eleven o'clock and it's pitch dark. We don't know the place and the search is too hard. It's hard to find him if he abandoned the car."
"That's right, so wait until tomorrow morning to report," Zhao Ming said.
"If you were Sun Qifeng, in which direction would you run?" Li Hui said.
Han Bin thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Based on the clues I have known so far, it's hard to guess."
When the three have finished their noodles got down to the heavy labor... One hour, two hours, three hours spent watching the monitor, Han Bin was a little tired and yawned several times. He couldn't help but yawn, so he closed his eyes while sitting at the table for a moment.
He didn't know how much time had passed, and he was woken up by a flurry of screams.
"Look, does this car look like Sun Qifeng's?" Li Hui shouted.
Han Bin straightened up, yawned, and glanced at the watch on the wall; it was already four in the morning.
"What did you find?"Han Bin said.
Li Hui pointed at the screen, "Does this car look like the suspect vehicle?"
Han Bin took a look: "The car has the same style and color, but there is no advertisement on the rear window, and the license plate number is not very clear. Look in the surveillance camera recording of the next intersection, the picture better be clearer, and you can read the license plate,"
Li Hui rotated the recording of the next intersection. All three looked intently at the screen. Shortly after, they found the van, this time the license plate number was very clear, Lu B.N 6572.
"That's it!" Zhao Ming said enthusiastically, patting the table.
"This guy actually tore the ad out of the back of the car. No wonder it's hard to find." Li Hui muttered.
"When is this recording?" Han Bin asked.
"Around three in the morning."
"It's been an hour," Han Bin said.
"The van runs east to west at the intersection of Qiming Road and Kaiping Street. It is a 40 to 50-minute drive from us."
"There is no traffic jam right now, I guess it will be over half an hour," Han Bin said.
"But the suspect is also running and won't wait for us," Li Hui said.
"Report to Captain Zheng."
......
Zheng Kaixuan was very happy after hearing the news and immediately released an adjustment to the tasks like that; Zhao Ming will stay in the monitoring room and continued to follow the suspect's vehicle. Han Bin and Li Hui will drive the van chasing the suspect. Zheng Kaixuan and Zhang Ping will lead the support.
"Brother Bin, Brother Hui, I also want to drive out the suspect, who of you wants to leave his place for me." Zhao Ming smiled bitterly, and he felt his eyes were already swollen.
"This is Captain Zheng's order. You little child, you must stay quiet and report to us the latest developments of Sun Qifeng's suspicious vehicle, your information is indispensable." Li Hui smiled.
Han Bin reached out, patted Zhao Ming on the shoulder, and left the monitoring room.
"Hey..." Zhao Ming sighed and sat down on the chair: "When you catch him, you will be heroes!"
Han Bin and Li Hui got into the car and drove towards the suspect vehicle.
"Brother Bin, you said it's been an hour, can we catch him?" Li Hui said.
"As long as Zhao Ming finds the last trace of the car and determines the direction of the escape and indicates it to Captain Zheng, he can notify the local police who will put up a roadblock in advance to intercept it, that shouldn't be a big deal," Han Bin said.
After a while, Zhao Ming called, "Brother Bin, the suspect's vehicle entered the highway."
"On the other side of the highway, there is a mountainous area. There are a lot of trees and lush forests. It is difficult to find it in the forest," Li Hui said.
Han Bin and Li Hui drove, galloping all the way.
While driving on the freeway, Zhao Ming's call came again.
"Brother Bin, the suspect's vehicle did not appear on the surveillance system after passing the intersection of the highway and Dazhang village. It is very likely that it was hidden nearby," Zhao said. Ming.
"The suspect's vehicle finally appeared on the surveillance camera,"
"When was it?" Han Bin said.
"Half-past four," Zhao Ming said.
"It's five o'clock now."
"The suspicious vehicle did not appear on the surveillance for half an hour, and it is likely to be hidden again," Li Hui guessed.
"Watch for surrounding vehicles."
Han Bin checked the anti-glare and essential flashlight for fighting at night. He took out a Type 64 pistol, which was filled with seven bullets. This time it was a homicide. The murderer was cunning and vicious, and he had to be ready for the fight.
The car drove for another half an hour.
"Brother Bin, the intersection between the highway and Dazhang village is ahead. Pay attention to the surroundings." Li Hui slows down.
"After this intersection, Zhao Ming no longer found the suspicious vehicle. The highway belongs to the main road. Every section of the road is monitored. The suspect vehicle left the main road or abandoned the vehicle and fled. " Han Bin guessed Tao.
After driving nearby, Li Hui shouted, "Brother Bin, there is a pickup truck parked on the left side of the road in front."
Han Bin looked at it; it conformed to the characteristics of the suspect vehicle, unbuckled her seat belt, and loaded her pistol.
"Stop the car."
