Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

Family compound of the Finance Bureau of Qingyun County.

The night is already deep.

Lei Tie personally led a team of elite plainclothes detectives, who quietly lay in ambush in every corner around the archives room.

They are waiting.

Waiting for that big fish that's about to turn on the wall in desperation.

However, time passed by, minute by minute.

11:30...

12 o'clock...

12:30...

The figure expected to set the fire never appeared.

Everything was eerily quiet.

"What's going on?" Lei Tie frowned as he hid in an inconspicuous Santana, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Could it be that the plan has changed?

Or... has the other side already noticed their ambush?

Just then, a series of urgent calls came through his walkie-talkie.

"Director Lei! Director Lei! Something's happened!"

"What is it?"

"Finance Department Chief Zhang... Chief Zhang... he's gone missing!"

"What?" Lei Tie jumped up from his seat!

Section Chief Zhang's full name is Zhang Aiguo. He is the head of the finance section of the county finance bureau and the only key person who controls the safe in the archives!

He was also a key witness who personally handled that "poverty alleviation fund" back then.

"Explain yourself! What's going on?" Lei Tie roared into the walkie-talkie.

"Our people just went to Section Chief Zhang's house to verify the situation and found his door wide open, the house in a mess with obvious signs of a struggle! His wife was knocked unconscious in the bedroom and just woke up! According to his wife, about an hour ago a group of people broke into their house and forcibly took Section Chief Zhang away!"

"Hold!"

Lei Tie slammed his fist hard on the steering wheel.

He finally realized he had been tricked!

Gou Tianming, that old fox, never intended to set the fire himself.

Setting a fire would be too noisy and too risky.

He chose a simpler, but also more ruthless, method.

——**A radical solution!**

As long as we control the "person" who holds the key and the secret, we can even make him disappear from this world completely.

Those so-called "ledgers," even if piled up like a mountain, are just a bunch of unopenable waste paper.

What a brilliant "escape from the cicada's shell" move!

What a brilliant "feint to the east, attack in the west" tactic!

"Immediately! Right now! Investigate!" Lei Tie roared hysterically into the walkie-talkie. "Block all exits from the county! Review all surveillance footage along the routes! Even if you have to turn the entire Qingyun County upside down, you must find him!"

"yes!"

At this moment, the entire police force of Qingyun County was mobilized!

The sirens wailed throughout the night sky of the entire county!

however……

Ten minutes later.

One bad news after another followed.

"Report to Director Lei! We've checked the surveillance footage along the route! No suspicious vehicles were found!"

"Reporting to Director Lei! The target hasn't been intercepted at any of the major intersections!"

"Reporting to Director Lei! The other party was using a fake license plate! The car went into a blind spot of the surveillance cameras and then... we lost track of it!"

……

Lei Tie's heart sank little by little.

He knew the other party had planned this.

And they're professionals!

From the kidnapping to the retreat, the route was planned flawlessly, perfectly avoiding all the "eyes in the sky".

Finding a deliberately hidden car out of thin air in this small county town is like finding a needle in a haystack.

The longer it drags on, the slimmer the chances of Section Chief Zhang surviving become!

What should I do?

What should we do?

Lei Tie was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Just when he was at his wit's end and almost in despair.

His personal cell phone rang.

The caller ID showed a name that he both respected and feared.

—Liu Ming.

"Feed? Brother Liu..." Lei Tie's voice was full of fatigue and hoarseness.

"Director Lei, are you in trouble?" Liu Ming's voice on the other end of the phone remained calm and undisturbed.

"It's more than just trouble! It's like the sky is falling!" Lei Tie gave a wry smile and briefly recounted the kidnapping of Section Chief Zhang.

"...They were professionals; we've completely lost our trail. If we can't find them soon, I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already quite clear.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then came Liu Ming's calm yet powerful and confident voice.

"Send me the model, color, and last known location of that car."

"Huh?" Lei Tie was taken aback. "Brother Liu, what do you need these for? We've already..."

"Stop talking nonsense and send it to me." Liu Ming's tone left no room for argument.

"……good."

Although he didn't know what Liu Ming was planning, Lei Tie still sent the relevant information via text message as if possessed.

……

Meanwhile, in an unnamed hotel in the county town.

Liu Ming was sitting in front of the computer.

His computer screen did not display a typical Windows interface.

Instead, it was a pitch-black, futuristic three-dimensional operating platform!

At the very center of the platform is a slowly rotating golden dragon head logo.

—"Dragon Fang," an exclusive combat system!

This is a space-based satellite reconnaissance system that only the core members of the "Dragon Fang" special forces have the authority to remotely log into in an emergency!

This system can, in theory, access any camera within China that is connected to a public network!

Whether it's traffic monitoring, shopping mall surveillance, or even privately installed home security cameras!

As long as it's connected to the internet, it becomes the "Dragon Fang's"...eyes!

This is one of Liu Ming's true trump cards!

He entered the information sent by Lei Tie into the system.

[Target: A black, unlicensed Jinbei van.]

[Last known location: West of the city, near the garbage disposal plant.]

[Task: Global Tracking]

"confirm."

He pressed the Enter key.

The golden dragon head on the screen seemed to come alive!

It suddenly opened its eyes and let out a silent roar!

Immediately afterwards, a three-dimensional electronic map of the entire Qingyun County unfolded on the screen.

Thousands upon thousands of densely packed green dots representing cameras on the map were simultaneously lit up.

The system began performing big data analysis and dynamic trajectory simulation on the last frame of the kidnappers' vehicle before it disappeared at a terrifying speed of billions of times per second!

Time passed by, second by second.

One minute……

Two minutes...

Five minutes...

Just as Lei Tie was getting increasingly anxious in the car.

Liu Ming called again.

"Found it."

On the other end of the phone, those two simple yet magical words still rang out.

Lei Tie suddenly jumped up from his seat!

"Where?"

Five kilometers southeast of the city's outskirts, there is a cement warehouse that has been abandoned for more than ten years.

"After you leave the blind spot of the garbage treatment plant, head south. You'll see a dirt road without streetlights. Just drive straight along the dirt road until it ends."

"How...how did you know?" Lei Tie's voice had completely changed!

He felt as if he were talking to an all-knowing god!

"You don't need to worry about that," Liu Ming said calmly. "I can only tell you that they probably haven't had a chance to make a move yet. You can still make it there in time."

"However, I suggest you bring more people."

"Because that place is not just a warehouse."

"It was still Gou Tianming's 'black house' where he hid his shady 'treasures'... a rat's nest."

After saying that, Liu Ming hung up the phone.

Lei Tie stood there, holding his phone, his mind blank.

It took him a long time to realize what was happening!

He roared hysterically into the walkie-talkie with all his might!

"Everyone!"

"Target: An abandoned cement warehouse on the outskirts of the city!"

"Set off!"
