The only way Zhu Li had to go home was a quiet area with very few pedestrians. It was a small path she took according to habit.
After even the sound of footsteps faded away, the only thing left on the roadside was the endless cooking and cooking of residents in the lower floors, occasionally mixed with the lingering sounds of loud conversations - but the distance was really not close, and it was even more difficult to distinguish what was being said.
"Brother, because you don't have eyes on the back of your head, I kindly remind you that the distance between five and ten meters behind you is the muzzle of a 7.62mm gun with a caliber of 7.62mm. So it's best not to act rashly." Liang An gave his usual warm reminder with a smile as he walked. Then he changed the subject and turned to Zhu Li from the corner of his eye, "Girl named Zhu, please ask, can you see this dear friend's eyes?" What color is it?"
Although Zhu Li was relieved a lot, she was still stunned when she heard the words of request. She raised her head and observed for a moment and then said uncertainly: "It feels...like the eye color of a foreigner. The color is like brown? It's a bit light..."
"It's not a good habit to hide the beginning and the end." Liang An shook his head and stood behind the hooded man with a gun raised. "You like your name so much, why don't you report it several times in advance? It will also facilitate our investigation work. . It is the normal duty of a good citizen to cooperate with the police, don’t you think so, Qi Taichu?”
From Zhu Li's perspective, Qi Taichu's expression seemed to be much gloomier, so much so that she still looked a little frightened and shrank back.
The companion on the other side of the headset that Liang An kept communicating with was not idle either.
"Why is Captain Liang so naughty today?" Lu Yao couldn't help complaining while checking the current situation.
Shao Zi looked at the video from the roadside camera that Lu Yao easily called up, and replied smoothly: "He probably wanted to delay time to prevent this unstable factor and criminal suspect from jumping over the wall. After all, he is a guy who may be holding a gun. It cannot be underestimated. When will support from the nearby police station arrive?"
"It will take about five minutes, and cars can't drive into this place." Lu Yao glanced at the coordinates on the map, held the intercom microphone on the table, and repeated, "Hello? Boss, did you hear that? We still have five minutes until support arrives!”
Liang An's expression remained unchanged and his actions continued.
"Zhu Li, come behind me." He urged, "Don't be afraid, just now."
At the same time, the black gun muzzle naturally touched the back of Qi Taichu's head, even forcing him to move forward unconsciously.
"Are you panicking?" Liang An's tone was still light and easy-going, just like chatting with a criminal suspect right in front of him, "Hey, this is going to cause a problem, isn't it?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Li grabbed the things in his hands more tightly and ran behind Liang An as quickly as possible.
Qi Taichu did not look back, or in other words, he had no chance to consider this goal.
For a moment, she half-crouched in a place she felt was safer, regained her composure, and looked up at the two people in front of her blankly.
Holding a pistol in one hand, Liang An casually patted Qi Taichu's shoulder with the other hand: "Put the gun on the ground. You should have brought it with you, right?"
Qi Taichu shook his head decisively.
"Really?" Liang Anqi asked, "Then what is this thing near your pants?"
Qi Taichu's body stiffened and his center of gravity shifted unconsciously.
"I don't recommend lying under all circumstances, really." Liang An said it as if he really felt this way, and his tone was quite sincere, "Especially when you may get shot. I don't care about my life, buddy, I actually don't I really want to get blood on my hands, being so close makes my hands a little dirty.”
At this moment, this person is more like the villain who drags people down and is unethical.
"How did the boss find out?" Lu Yao yelled in the earphone. She was the one who had control of the nearby surveillance. "This person named Qi is wrapped up so tightly."
Liu Che on the side understood and explained: "I'm trying to deceive him."
Liang An himself did just say it casually.
Nearby is an ambiguous word. Strictly speaking, even if the big brother hid the gun under his feet and rattled the barrel while walking, the place where the gun was hidden also fell into the category of "nearby".
It's just a very simple deception, and it's difficult for the deceived person in a nervous state to detect it when he can't think too much.
But now that the flaw was exposed, the person who was threatened could only continue to press the hood, and slowly reached out to fumble around the trouser leg. The gun fell to the ground with a sound, and his hands were raised.
It was an unmistakable gesture of surrender.
"Are there any passers-by around here?" Liang An whispered.
"No." Lu Yao shook her head as she spoke, as if the person on the other side of the conversation could see her sympathetic body movements, "They said they were almost there and they had already gotten off the bus."
Liang An said in a deep voice: "Kick it over here."
It’s self-evident what to kick.
But at this moment, Qi Taichu seemed to suddenly become rebellious.
He stepped on the pistol he had just thrown on the ground, but made no further movement. Instead, he stood there like a sculpture, motionless.
"Hey, are you okay?" Liang An felt something bad and his tone finally became serious.
At this moment, Lu Yao's face, who was far away in the office, suddenly changed when he realized that he could not help any more and was checking some incomprehensible information streams.
"Boss, I think I need to tell you something." She spoke very fast and urgently, "Just now, someone also accessed the surveillance video of this area. It was not a serious method, it was hacking, and The camera that can observe your movements in real time has been directly located.”
There are others monitoring the area through technical means.
Liang An had no doubt that he was there. He took a deep breath and asked, "It seems that your headphones are not only for disguise, but also have other uses?"
Qi Taichu's associates intervened in the surveillance area, but he himself suddenly changed his mind. Obviously, I heard some special explanation.
"Report, I cut off his link by the way!" Just halfway through his words, Lu Yao started yelling in the headset again.
It was only thirty seconds before and after.
Shao Zi was a little surprised: "Not bad."
Even Jiang Qiu was surprised. He could barely understand Lu Yao's clicking operations on the keyboard, although like many fields, he was just a paper talker who knew the meaning of the content.
"Although I didn't ask for instructions, it should be fine, right? I don't think the technical method is capable of finding the IP address." Lu Yao still had some doubts, "The method I used should be more like a bad network from that person's perspective. , it’s not easy to expose the secret. But he actually didn’t try to get it back, and he is quite sensible. If he dares to come back, I will let him experience what it means to sit up and die repeatedly!"
In terms of information warfare, Lu Yao is confident that he can be invincible.
"...It's a pity that the sound isolation of the headphones is not very good, but you can still hear what I said clearly. What, do you have any other support?" Liang An continued his words.
Qi Taichu seemed to be really confident and lowered his raised hands.
Then the next second, there was a loud noise near the residential building in the wall not far away, followed by a blazing fire in the distance.
Zhu Li, who was standing behind, shrank her pupils. Although the fire was obviously near the ground, it was still the direction of her home and the only way for her to go home.
"The location is on the mango tree in front of Building 331. You know where this place is, right?" Qi Taichu finally spoke and said coldly.
Liang An glanced at the girl behind him and saw her nodding extremely nervously, confirming the existence of this tree.
"It's right at the gate of the fence. I...I will pass by that place when I go home." Zhu Li looked nervous and whispered.
The height of the fire also clearly indicated that the tree was being lit. But the scope of the damage was not large, maybe it was the result of calculating the equivalent.
Suddenly, a bad premonition inevitably appeared.
Liang An brought the gun closer to the back of Qi Taichu's head, and slowly spoke with some secret movements: "You don't just want to talk nonsense when you say this, right?"
"That's just a backup plan," Qi Taichu seemed to have calmed down. "Your little actions don't actually matter. More importantly, do you want to guess how many backup plans we have?"
A bomb, a backup plan.
A few... This is just a guess that people dare not relax.
"I can threaten your life." Liang An returned to the same extremely chaotic and evil attitude as before, shrugging nonchalantly.
The best way to deal with a gangster is to be more gangster than him.
According to Liu Che's judgment, this guy named Qi is obviously the kind of person who doesn't stingy.
But Qi Taichu lowered his voice, took a deep breath, and said bitterly: "You...you can try it. You won't like the result, and no one will like it."
Obviously, he didn't care about his life at all.
But he is convinced that his companions will regard his life as nothing, which is very interesting.
"We are all working for profit, why are we working so hard? It's not like we can't discuss it carefully." Liang An's tone seemed to be smiling, and he even pretended to close the distance between them while speaking, but his actual expression was very solemn.
It was at this moment that there were footsteps coming from behind. Obviously, the support from the local police station that Lu Yao mentioned earlier has arrived.
Shao Zi came to the microphone and said in a deep voice: "Lu Yao confirmed the surveillance over there. There was indeed an explosion, but the scope was very small. It only destroyed the road and caused a small fire. Fortunately, no one was hurt. I will support you with the police station They told me not to act rashly, everything depends on your instructions. In addition, people from the explosion prevention team of the Armed Police Force are also on the way. I will follow your arrangements."
"You mean, in addition to Zhu Li's only way home, you also planted bombs in or near her home? Is this your strength?"
Liang An said this loudly, not only to negotiate with Qi Taichu, but also to inform the people who had just arrived behind him of the current situation.
Qi Taichu seemed to have stabilized his mentality and made it clear what he would do next. He gritted his teeth and said, "What do you think?"
Putting his life on someone else's choice seemed to him the most shameful thing.
It was even more painful than imagining my own death.
