Chapter 2140 The Death List!

"Ouch!" Li Zhengping rubbed his head, looking at Li Hang with an innocent expression.

"Why did you hit me?"

Li Hang looked at Li Zhengping with a smile and asked:
"Now you can see me?"

Li Zhengping's eyes darted around, and he looked at his third uncle with a hint of fear in his eyes:
"Third Uncle, is your room haunted? Did you see something hit me just now?"

Li Hang looked at him, both amused and exasperated, and said helplessly:
"Alright, alright, I won't fight you for people anymore. Besides Qi Wei, can you help me see if there are any other people who are good at criminal investigation? We also need to set up a criminal investigation team at the headquarters."

When Li Zhengping heard that Li Hang was no longer going to compete with him for Qi Wei, he beamed with joy, went over, took Li Hang's arm, and sat down on the sofa.

"Yeah, I'll recommend a few to you later. Hang-ge, when did you join?"

Li Hang laughed and scolded:
"Why don't you try installing another one?"

He raised his hand, pretending to hit him.

Li Zhengping quickly begged for mercy:

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! Who told you to steal my top general? Qi Wei is my most valued subordinate. If you take him away, who will take over my criminal investigation team?"

The matter was dropped.

Afterwards, Li Hang explained the current plan to Li Zhengping, since the coordinated arrests would definitely be carried out at the same time.

Therefore, a large number of people are needed when making concentrated arrests of robbery and murder suspects.

The Oil City Inspection Office has a total of over one hundred people. My third uncle assigned him a combat brigade to handle this matter, bringing the total to three hundred people.

However, it seems that we don't have enough manpower right now. In just three hours of searching, we have already found more than 100 suspects left in the oil city.

In a few more hours, the number of suspects identified could reach several hundred.

The number of patrol officers in the oil city has now reached 2200, so Uncle San has assigned the patrol officers to assist Li Hang.

At that time, we will make full use of the patrol brigade's strength, in cooperation with the supervisory department and the first combat brigade, to jointly arrest the murderers and robbers remaining in the oil city.

Oil City, the eastern exit of the buffer city.

This exit is also the main exit, and at this time a large number of residents have gathered around it.

After Uncle San issued the order to seal off the city, Cao Le, the captain of the gate guards, immediately ordered the buffer city to be sealed off, allowing entry but not exit.

The progress of the peripheral cities in the oil city area is slower compared to the headquarters base in Dazhangshu.

The outer city near the headquarters base has completed the enclosure of walls, the construction of watchtowers on the walls, and the installation of weapons. Construction work within the outer city has now fully commenced.

However, in the oil city, the perimeter wall has only just been completed, and the construction of the gate, laying of pipelines and electrical wires, and other work are still underway.

At the exit of the buffer city, many residents looked puzzled, as the original exit had been blocked.

"Wait, what's going on? Why can't we go out all of a sudden?"

"Yeah, this delay cost me so many points. I finally found one..."

"Go ask and see what it means?"

"I'm not going! Why aren't you going?"

"Hey? You!"

A middle-aged man pointed to his companion, walked to the exit, and asked a goalkeeper:
"What's going on? Are we not allowed to leave?"

The goalkeeper glanced at him and said, "There will be an announcement over the loudspeaker soon, just listen for it."

"Oh dear! How long will this lockdown last?" the middle-aged man persisted, asking again.

The goalkeeper then explained:

"For those listening to the radio, we will also put up a notice later, just wait a little longer."

"Alright." The middle-aged man sighed and returned to the crowd.

"How should we put it? How should we put it?" the nearby residents asked one after another.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said:
"He didn't say. He told me to wait for the broadcast announcement, saying it would be broadcast shortly."

After a few minutes.

Sure enough, several goalkeepers came over with newly printed notices and posters, which they posted on the notice board to the right of the buffer zone entrance.

The residents, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly went over to watch.

"It has been discovered that thirteen criminals have smuggled themselves into the oil city. We need to search for these weapons first, so the city will be under lockdown for ten hours."

"Ten hours? That's so long!"

"Holy crap, what's going on? How did someone bring guns in, thirteen guns at that? Which team is this fierce?"

"What I'm more curious about is, what are they planning to do with all these guns?"

"Yeah, are these guys looking for death? There are thousands of patrolmen in the oil city's patrol brigade alone, not to mention the militia brigades. What can thirteen guns do?"

"Quiet down! Look at what's written at the very bottom!"

[Providing information about firearms carried by criminals will earn you 100 points.]

A reward of 1000 points will be given if the criminals are caught and the gun is obtained!

When the crowd saw the small print at the bottom, they were immediately in an uproar.

"So many points?! 1000 points! How long would it take me to accumulate that many points?!"

"The key issue is that there aren't any other details, and those guys have guns, so who would dare to catch them? But the reward for providing information is pretty good!"

"That's 1000 points! If I catch it, I'll definitely take it."

beep—

The radio sounded.

Old Huang's voice echoed throughout the entire oil city:
"The following is a notification: Recently, an incident of illegally carrying a firearm into the oil city has been discovered."
First, notify all residents of the oil city that they are prohibited from leaving the city!
The lockdown will begin now and will be lifted in 10 hours.

We hope the residents will understand!

Broadcasts are ubiquitous throughout the oil city, whether in the main city, the trading market, the buffer city, or the outlying cities.

After Lao Huang made the announcement, the residents of the oil city all knew about it.

Trading market.

Chen Dachui Braised Hot Pot Restaurant.

Inside the largest private room on the second floor.

Near the window, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man's face darkened immediately after hearing the broadcast.

Sitting opposite the man was a young man wearing a baseball cap.

The young man in the baseball cap asked with some concern:

"Brother, could this be targeting us?"

The middle-aged man did not answer him immediately, staring blankly at the food in front of him.

On the table, a hot pot was steaming, surrounded by many meat products.

This meal would cost at least 200 points, but there were only 10 of them in the private room.

On average, each person needs 20 points, which is extremely extravagant!

The man sitting next to the middle-aged man had triangular eyes that looked like daggers, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The man with the triangular eyes turned his gaze to the leader and said:
“Brother Long, this shouldn’t be targeting us. We conduct our transactions outside the city. Even when we buy food and other supplies inside the city, we buy in small batches. Everything is done in accordance with the management regulations of the oil city. We have never violated them.”

"This lockdown should have nothing to do with us."

After hearing his subordinate's words, Xie Feilong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying:

"The old snake is right, however..."

He changed the subject and continued:

"However, we have accumulated enough food and supplies, which should be enough for us to find a safe place to hide together."

"Third brother, go to the car rental shop and rent five more cars. Buy as much fuel as possible while staying close to the police line. We're leaving the oil city anyway, so we can't waste the points we have!"

"Yes," the young man wearing a baseball cap nodded.

Seeing that his elder brother had finished speaking, the triangular-eyed old snake urged everyone to continue eating:
"Keep eating, don't waste food."

Everyone looked at Xie Feilong. Xie Feilong knew that if everyone was looking at him, no one else would dare to touch their chopsticks.

So he picked up his chopsticks and said:
"Eat!" Xie Feilong picked up a piece of mutton roll that had been transported from the Northwest and put it into the hot pot to cook.

A dozen seconds later, he picked up a steaming hot lamb roll, dipped it in peanut sauce, and put it in his mouth.

His head was down, and his eyes held an unpredictable expression.

The lamb rolls that were once incredibly delicious now tasted like nothing at all.

These mutton rolls are a rare find in the Oil City. A single mutton roll weighs only 200 grams and costs 10 points. They ordered 10 rolls, which would require 100 points.

These mutton rolls only weigh 4 jin (2 catties) in total.

A small amount of beef and mutton from the Northwest is transported to the oil city and then flows into the trading market.

Some restaurants allow you to purchase items using points.

Chen Dachui's braised pork shop received a considerable share, after all, Chen Dachui was also a member of the Minwu Brigade, and even the captain of the Minwu Brigade.

Through his connections, his restaurant was able to obtain a significant share of meat for further processing and resale.

According to the current regulations of Dazhangshu, anyone who is an official is prohibited from engaging in commercial activities.

avoid arousing suspicion.

However, Chen Dachui's restaurant business was rather unusual, so he wasn't forced to close his shop.

Many years ago, Chen Dachui was still in the North, and was an affiliated member of the North.

He and Tuwentan and others responded to the Oil City construction plan and came to Oil City from the North, where they began to build the trading market brick by brick.

At that time, he was still a construction worker.

After the trading market was built, the oil city expanded its military recruitment, and he and his team signed up.

However, not everyone in his team met the evaluation criteria, and some of his colleagues were eliminated.

At that time, in order to boost economic activity, the trading market allowed some shops to be privately operated.

So he brought all the dismissed subordinates to this shop. He was a cook before the apocalypse, and it was a family heirloom.

The taste is indeed quite good.

Later, he gradually rose through the ranks and eventually became the captain of the militia brigade.

His restaurant business has always been very good, and over the years he has opened three other branches in the oil city trading market.

However, in the past two years, as the system of the Big Camphor Tree has been continuously improved, it has been required that officials be prohibited from participating in commercial activities.

Therefore, Chen Dachui stopped managing the restaurant and prevented his old buddies from expanding it further.

However, the shop name has been used for so long that many old customers recognize the signboard, so it is still opened under his name.

There are quite a few robbers and murderers like Xie Feilong in the oil city.

They were all somewhat worried after hearing the news of the city's lockdown.

However, the reason for the lockdown mentioned in the broadcast had nothing to do with them.

So they weren't too bothered by it.

However, the lockdown also made them more cautious, and they started using their own SIM cards from then on.

Moreover, he thought that once the city was unsealed, he would immediately leave the city to avoid it.

Time passes slowly.

Before we knew it, it was seven o'clock in the evening.

The information center in the oil city was brightly lit.

The staff at the information center were still watching the computers, screening for suspects who met the requirements.

Lai Peng stayed there, waiting for the final list to be released.

Su Yuan led a few people in, pushing a small cart.

"Come on, dinner's ready. Everyone's worked so hard, let's eat something first."

When Lai Peng saw that dinner had arrived, he walked over to Xiao Xue and said, "Let's eat something first."

Xiao Xue didn't even turn her head, staring intently at the computer screen, constantly comparing faces and then extracting names.

"It'll be ready soon, we'll talk about it after the screening is complete."

Upon hearing this, Lai Peng forgot all about eating.

Only three hours remain before the lockdown is lifted.

The list hasn't been released yet; they need to complete all the arrests within three hours.

Seeing that no one was moving, Su Yuan had no choice but to put the lid back on and wait for them to finish.

More than a hundred inspectors gathered downstairs at the Confidence Center, taking advantage of the remaining time to quickly grab a bite to eat.

Beside them stood a combat team, also waiting for a long time.

Once the list is finalized, they will immediately join forces with the patrol team to arrest the individuals on the list.

Half an hour later.

Xiao Xue excitedly shouted to Lai Peng and Ding Meng behind him:

"As required, the list of eligible suspects has been released."

As he spoke, he urged his subordinates beside him:

"Xiaomi, go and print out the list, print out several hundred copies."

"Okay." Xiaomi ran straight to the printer.

The printer is connected to the computer and has started printing.

"Let me see." Lai Peng moved closer to the computer and stared at the table on it.

Xiao Xue scrolled to the bottom of the table and pointed to the data while explaining:

"The number of people who have not returned to the oil city for half a month is 15679."

"Among these people, 7892 people's points cards were used in PetroChina City in the past two weeks."

"Most people who use credit cards are related to the cardholder by blood or belong to the same group."

"These 458 people, who have no connection to the cardholders, are the suspects!"

"Of these people, 348 are currently in the oil city, and 110 are still outside and have not returned."

"Captain Lai, Captain Ding, your main task is to apprehend the 348 people remaining in the oil city. I have already marked their housing information and recent spending records."

"You can arrest people directly based on my markings!"

"Okay!" Lai Peng patted Xiao Xue on the shoulder upon hearing this.

"Very good!" he said with an appreciative smile.

Ding Meng looked at Lai Peng and said:
"Then, shall we act now?"

Just then, Xiaomin also brought over the printed list information.

Lai Peng, holding a thick stack of names and information, said:
"Okay, let's split up and arrest these people as soon as possible!"

They quickly decided who would arrest whom.

At the same time, Lai Peng quickly contacted Li Hang and Li Zhengping to tell them that the list information had been released.

Upon hearing this, Li Hang immediately ran over from his third uncle's place.

Looking through the list, Li Hang asked:

"A total of 348 people?"

“Yes, Director!” Lai Peng replied.

Li Hang took a deep breath and looked at Lai Peng and Ding Meng, as well as the members of the Supervision Department and the Combat Team standing by the car downstairs.

"Move out! Arrest them! Don't let a single one escape!"

"Yes."

The team members, guns in hand, quickly boarded the vehicle.

Under the streetlights, dozens of electric pickup trucks drove out of the oil city in an orderly fashion.
