Animal Detective

Chapter 460 Ambush
When he received the news, Liu Baoquan was presiding over a symposium for private enterprises across the province, introducing the progress of work in combating economic crimes and promoting the rule of law.

"Sorry, something came up, please continue."

Liu Baoquan hurriedly left the meeting and headed straight for the command center.

When they arrived, Lu Chunze was already there.

He looked excited.

"Chunze, found him?" Liu Baoquan was equally excited.

Lu Chunze nodded.

On the large screen, one is a live camera feed.

After spotting the target, under Shen Xin's instructions, the plane tracked it like a ghost.

The primeval forest is filled with towering trees, some reaching tens of meters in height.

A bird takes flight without making a sound, following above the trees, almost unnoticed.

The other shot is a still frame captured, showing the target being analyzed.

Lu Chunze briefly explained the situation, then pointed to the screen and said, "Director Liu, you see, the enemy's firepower is not weak."

Five mules and nine people.

The three men were empty-handed, presumably carrying handguns.

The remaining six were all armed with automatic weapons.

We tried our best to identify it through screenshots.

Three carbines, one of which has a shorter barrel.

In Myanmar, M16s are often shortened and replaced with rail handguards to facilitate the mounting of accessories.

So this one was equipped with a grenade launcher and a rather large sight, which looked like a cheap thermal imaging sight.

Two AR-15s, which are also common weapons.

The last one, judging from the stock, should be a Type 56, and it also has a grenade launcher attached.

Everyone was dressed in camouflage and tactical vests, and they probably carried a lot of grenades.

Liu Baoquan nodded slightly, his gaze sharpening.

The situation in Myanmar is very chaotic, with rampant drugs and guns.

This weapon is considered inferior; those who are willing to invest use high-end equipment.

As for the specifics of the operation, his subordinates were experienced, so Liu Baoquan didn't need to worry too much. He sat down and inquired about the discovery process.

When it was discovered, Lu Chunze wasn't actually at the scene keeping an eye on things.

He couldn't possibly be there the whole time, even if he had to stay for a day and a night.

When we arrived, we were able to review the situation.

"Director, I've noticed something."

He had someone pull up the video and then explained, "The plane was originally searching in a straight line, but it suddenly turned during the search, and when it turned, it was still six or seven hundred meters away from the target."

"In other words, he didn't see the target. As Shen Xin said, he found the drug dealer by hearing and smell."

"It could smell human scent from hundreds of meters away. This bird is really something, much better than a drone."

Drones are only considered to be seen by people if they are actually seen by them.

Moreover, being so close makes them easy to spot.

Liu Baoquan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I specifically asked my secretary to find some relevant information yesterday, saying that some animals can find water sources from more than ten kilometers away, and their sense of smell is very strong."

With a sigh, he pointed to a screenshot on the screen and asked if this was Minjuekhan.

The screenshot isn't very clear, but judging from the facial features, it looks like him.

He wasn't carrying any weapons; he seemed like someone giving orders.

Lu Chunze nodded and said that should be true.

With such a large shipment, Minjuekan would definitely have to personally lead the escort.

Meanwhile, on Shen Xin's side...

"Shen Xin, you're awesome!" Huang Delin excitedly hugged Shen Xin.

As soon as he let go of Shen Xin, the deputy captain of the Lianjiang Special Police Brigade, who was traveling with him, shook his hand.

Feeling it wasn't quite right, he casually gave Shen Xin a hug.

Then there were Li Niu's leaders.

His name is Qian Feng.

He was broad-shouldered, and although he hadn't smiled much before, his eyes crinkled with laughter at this moment. After shaking hands with Shen Xin, he immediately saluted and solemnly said thank you.

They outnumbered the drug traffickers and had better equipment, but this was real combat, and the drug traffickers were fully armed.

It's hard to say that it's like catching a murderer, where you rush in, point guns at him, and he immediately surrenders.

Therefore, there is bound to be risk.

However, if we can anticipate the enemy's moves, lock onto the target in advance, know the target's personnel and weapon configuration, and then set up an ambush in advance, not only will the success rate of the operation increase greatly, but the risk of personnel injury can also be minimized.

Having brought the person out, who wouldn't want to bring them back safely?

Shen Xin quickly returned the greeting, secretly relieved.

They've already boasted about it, traveled a long way, and taken on the most important task. What if they fail to find the person?

It's not that he absolutely has to succeed, but Shen Xin genuinely hopes to succeed.

After the celebration, the group immediately gathered around, staring at the video transmitted back from the plane, and discussed their plan of action.

Meanwhile, Li Niu had already begun preparing his equipment.

A special police officer opened the equipment case he had been carrying for a long time, took out an extremely long sniper rifle, and made final adjustments.

On the armed police side, some people started opening boxes, taking out grenades and stun grenades, and stuffing them into their vests.

They inspected the machine guns, tidied up the night vision goggles and communication equipment in an orderly manner, amidst a somber atmosphere pervading the woods.

Shen Xin's gaze fell on Li Niu, who was applying camouflage paint to his face with a small mirror.

He was very focused while applying the paint.

Shen Xin suddenly felt a peculiar emotion.

This handsome young man, younger than himself and boasting about how awesome he is, is about to set off to confront a vicious drug dealer armed with weapons.

Bullets have no eyes; a bullet costing only a few dollars can take away a life.

This isn't an FPS game; if you get shot, you can just lie on the ground, catch your breath, and your health will be fully restored.

Being shot in the jungle, far from a hospital, is too risky.

For some inexplicable reason, Shen Xin suddenly realized how terrifying death was.

For a fleeting moment, Shen Xin had the urge to go up and chat with Li Niu, wishing him a successful mission and urging him to be careful.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up.

In Ding Yuwei's words, she has a bit of a jinx and a death-like quality.

If we follow the typical pattern of TV dramas, saying anything might lead to unexpected problems.

Li Niu noticed Shen Xin's gaze and grinned, revealing a set of teeth.

There was no sign of tension on his face.

Time was of the essence. They located the other side, just across the border, a straight-line distance of 9 kilometers.

So we have to set off now.

They had communication equipment to see the operation plan and ambush locations in real time, so they discussed them on the way.

The higher-ups also need to discuss and deliberate on it.

Without any unnecessary formalities, the group of 51 people plunged into the primeval forest.

In an instant, it seemed to be swallowed up by the forest and could no longer be seen.

Huang Delin went along.

Only Jiang Wengang, a colleague from Ningjiang, remained here.

And Guo Zhaoyue and his group.

Shen Xin's mission was not yet over, so he immediately called on Da Shun, who was nearby, to come and provide support.

And Yifan and the others all gathered on our side.

The helmet needs to be replaced; a bird cannot keep watch for an extended period.

And what about those discovered overseas, and those discovered domestically?
If you catch the big fish, you can't miss the small ones either.

It was almost three o'clock when Da Shun arrived.

They complain about being tired as soon as we meet.

"I know, I know, it'll be over soon." Shen Xin stuffed a mealworm into his mouth.

As a bird known as the honey badger, the magpie was quite satisfied that it behaved so well this time and didn't cause any trouble.

These two groups are definitely connected; one has shown up, while the other is certainly already on its way.

Sure enough, at 3:40, they spotted the group of people in the opposite direction.

The group consisted of five people, dressed casually.

Unlike Minjuekan's group, they didn't arrogantly carry assault rifles; they were probably all carrying pistols.

Now that all targets have been identified, we await action.

In the dense forest, Qian Feng and his men made a full-speed run.

I watched a video of a bird search engine before. Birds fly in the sky, and a distance of several kilometers is no problem at all. They can be searched in minutes.

This is real walking, it's not a concept at all.

Huang Delin was in his prime and had good physical strength, but at this moment he was panting heavily and couldn't keep up with Qian Feng and the others.

Based on the other party's whereabouts, the team continuously adjusted its direction.

A little after five o'clock, the group arrived at the designated location.

During this period, the command center, after weighing the situation based on the suspect's whereabouts and speed, decided to immediately carry out the arrest.

If we delay any longer, it will get dark.

At the pace of these two groups, they will likely meet after dark.

There are two possibilities after the meeting.

One option is to set up camp on the spot and leave at dawn.

But this would mean that with all the troops combined, there would be too many people.

Another method is to separate immediately after the handover.

There are two possibilities.

One option is to set up separate camps to avoid being wiped out at once.

Drug dealers are very cautious and definitely want to stay away from drugs.

Another option is to leave the country at night.

However, the probability is low; traveling through a primeval forest at night is too risky.

After comprehensive analysis, Qian Feng was instructed to speed up and intercept Minjuekan's group in advance.

After capturing them, they turned around and, together with their reinforcements, went to capture another group of people.

Upon arriving, Qian Feng quickly gave hand signals.

Everyone immediately dispersed and went into hiding according to the pre-arranged plan.

The plan is to encircle them from all sides.

Frontal view, in a favorable position, set up a machine gun.

Set up a sniper position at a high point in the tree.

Then a group of people, led by the special police team, circled around to Minjuekan and his group, blocking their escape route.

Qian Feng led his men to set up positions on both sides, forming a pocket to attack from both sides.

Since there are no fixed roads in the mountains and the opponent's route is uncertain, the only option is to form a large net, then slowly tighten it, and finally launch a sudden attack.

As for Huang Delin and his group, they could only provide support from the periphery.

It was a little past five o'clock, and it wasn't dark yet.

But the light in the forest had already decreased.

At this moment, Gray Plane and Five Blessings followed the group, one on the left and one on the right.

Qian Feng hid behind a large banyan tree, using equipment to monitor everyone's location in real time.

There were also videos sent by Gray Plane and the others, which were constantly updating the drug dealers' location.

Then, using walkie-talkies, carefully notify everyone to slowly approach and gradually tighten the ambush net.

The group of nine people in the video were completely unaware of what was happening.

In some places, the roads are difficult to travel, and even mules have a hard time walking, so they need to be pushed by people.

Minjuekan was in the middle of the group, constantly looking around warily.

His medium-length, tousled hair was messy and he was wearing a military green jacket. As he walked, he suddenly turned to the person next to him and said, "Danwen, don't you feel something's... off?"

The person next to him was wearing a baseball cap pulled low over his shoulder. He had long, sharp eyes and nodded slightly, glancing around at the surroundings out of the corner of his eye.

"It's so quiet."

he whispered.

The forest was quite lively, with birds chirping and insects buzzing.

But now, it's all gone.

And this situation might be...

The thought had barely formed in his mind when, in the next instant, something was being thrown from both sides.

One of them landed right in front of him and rolled into the pile of dead leaves.

For a moment, his heart almost stopped.

Stun bomb!
A series of explosions rang out.

The bright light was blinding, the smoke was billowing, and my head felt like it had been hit a dozen times with a hammer; my ears were ringing badly.

At that moment, a thought inexplicably popped into his mind.

Is it a human being?
They threw out at least a dozen stun grenades in one go.
