The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

Chapter 73 Map, Emergency Recall, Citywide Manhunt

"Look, this is a map I drew at school."

In the coffee shop, Zhou Xingxing, like a thief, used his backpack to cover his face and sneakily sat down opposite Lu Ming, taking out a stack of hand-drawn maps from his backpack.

"Are you sure it's completely finished?"

Lu Ming took the maps and spread them out on the table to examine them. Zhou Xingxing was a former member of the Flying Tigers and was skilled at drawing terrain maps. These maps, drawn on draft paper, were clear and concise, with the names of various buildings marked on them.

Teaching buildings, canteen, library —

"Don't worry, I'm the number one assassin of the Flying Tigers. My first lesson after joining the Flying Tigers was to scout the terrain, ensuring there wouldn't be any oversights."

Stephen Chow is full of confidence, which stems from his years of service in the Flying Tigers.

Lu Ming's gaze swept across the scattered maps like a scanner, then his eyes suddenly sharpened. He pulled out a map filled with pipes. "Where is this?"

"The school's underground heating pipe room." Zhou Xingxing glanced at the map and said mysteriously, "There is an air-raid shelter passage leading to the back mountain outside the school. It is said that it existed when the school was built. When the school was built, the air-raid shelter was transformed into an access passage. However, this passage is usually locked and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

Lu Ming chuckled and said, "Do you think if these terrorists secretly sent people to investigate the school's layout, they might discover this air-raid shelter passage?"

"Given the crude style of these foreigners—I doubt they'll discover it; they won't investigate as thoroughly as we do."

Zhou Xingxing shook his head. The purpose of this group of terrorists was to carry out terrorist attacks and take students with special identities hostage. They didn't need to investigate the school's terrain so thoroughly.

"You're right. With their weaponry, they could openly storm the school and kidnap all the students as hostages."

Lu Ming nodded in agreement and said, "I'll keep this map. You can continue to infiltrate the school. If you encounter any difficulties, call me and I'll try my best to help you."

Stephen Chow laughed and said, "With your 100,000 yuan activity fund, all difficulties will be solved — but the tuition of this school is really expensive. It cost me more than 40,000 yuan just to enroll. It's really damn expensive."

"It's a prestigious school, so of course it emphasizes the word 'prestige,' otherwise how would it showcase their status and wealth?"

Lu Ming joked, stood up and said, "Contact me if you need anything." With that, he took the illustrations and left quickly.

"Hmph, I've done a great service this time. Let's see who dares to make me a traffic cop again—number 167. I, Zhou Xingxing, will never wear this badge number again."

Zhou Xingxing picked up his coffee with a sharp look in his eyes, took a sip, then grabbed his backpack and prepared to leave.

"Sir, thank you for your payment of 123 yuan."

The waiter handed over a bill with a big smile.

"Shall I pay the bill?"

Stephen Chow's eyes widened.

"Chief, Agent 9848 reporting for duty!"

Lu Ming retrieved his service pistol, which he had stored for several days, from the armory and went upstairs directly to the director's office. The director, Uncle Biao, and Chen Jiaju were all present in the office.

The chief coughed lightly. "Ah Ming, we originally agreed to give you leave until you went to the police academy for training, but the situation is a bit urgent now. The higher-ups have ordered all officers on leave to return to work, so we have no choice but to call you back."

-

"What happened?"

Lu Ming asked knowingly, but the only thing that could get the entire Hong Kong police force to take seriously right now was this group of international terrorists who had infiltrated Hong Kong Island to carry out a terrorist attack.

Because it involves the British government's reputation, the Security Department has taken the lead in overseeing the entire operation to eliminate the terrorists, and the police force has naturally been mobilized.

"This matter is closely related to the arms case you cracked last time," the Commissioner said with a serious expression. "The terrorist group that purchased weapons from Da Fei last time has secretly infiltrated Hong Kong Island. Just two days ago, the Special Branch and the Major Crimes Unit of the General Headquarters tracked down the whereabouts of this group of terrorists, but they escaped, and we even lost a Special Branch undercover agent."

"The Commissioner has now ordered all police stations and departments to do their utmost to track down this group of terrorists and bring them to justice as soon as possible. We must not allow them to threaten the personal safety of citizens."

Uncle Biao added with a smile: "In general, our mission is to assist the political department in searching for this group of international terrorists. We have already given instructions to the patrol uniforms and mobile units below to keep an eye out for suspicious foreigners on the streets."

"At such a critical moment, the police force must have capable elites in place. Ka-Kui alone cannot handle the situation, which is why we urgently recalled you."

"I will comply with the police station's arrangements."

Lu Ming nodded to indicate that he understood. He didn't need a holiday anyway. With the hunting quota nearing its limit, he hoped to strike while the iron was hot and get the headcount together.

Now that this group of terrorists has infiltrated Hong Kong Island, it's the perfect opportunity for him to reap his rewards.

"That's how it is. Now you and Jiaju are in charge of leading the Major Crimes Unit to investigate key areas in our jurisdiction where this group of terrorists might be hiding."

The director earnestly instructed, "Remember, this group of terrorists is armed with heavy weapons. Once you spot any suspects, report it immediately. Don't act rashly."

Terrorists possess far more and more powerful heavy weapons than drug lords, including not only AK-47s but also various submachine guns,

A sniper rifle—it's practically a modern military squad.

In comparison, the officers in their police station's major crimes unit are only good at talking nonsense and are far inferior to the terrorists' heavy firepower and weapons.

He was genuinely afraid that Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju would discover the person and immediately lead their team to rush up and surround them, causing the Major Crimes Unit to suffer heavy losses.

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju immediately agreed.

Of course, I agree, but how to deal with it depends on the specific circumstances.

It is normal for generals in the field to sometimes disobey orders.

Lu Ming has a need for manpower, and Chen Jiaju has never been a law-abiding person, so it's no wonder the director is so worried.

"Uncle Biao, do you think Ah Ming and Jia Ju might have gotten wind of this terrorist group?"

"Hard to say."

Uncle Biao stroked his chin and said, "Ah Ming and Ka Kui are the best officers in our Central Police Station. They have solved many major cases and are highly capable. It's not surprising that they were able to trace this group of terrorists."

"The higher-ups have already revealed the area of ​​opportunity, and I have a chance to move up a bit, provided I don't make any major mistakes during this period—right now, I really hope they investigate slowly."

The director watched the two figures leave, feeling a bit of a headache. At this moment, he actually hoped that Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju wouldn't be too capable.

This group of terrorists, who have such a notorious reputation internationally, must be a group of fearless and ruthless thugs. If they seize an opportunity to retaliate, the serious crimes unit is likely to suffer serious injuries.

He, as the person in charge, will inevitably be held accountable.

He might miss out on a promotion opportunity because of this.

Good heavens! This will affect my career!
