Although this was not the city center, it was a small commercial street. It was still the morning rush hour, and the pedestrian traffic was not small.
Police cars could not ram through as recklessly as they did, so they had no choice but to stop.
Only the helicopter circling in the sky was still in pursuit.
In a command vehicle, Yang Hongliang, the captain of the criminal police brigade, watched the truck that was getting further and further away and cursed.
"Damn it, we've been chasing all night, and he still got away.
Immediately contact the people at the South Station and block them ahead."
However, a technician sitting behind Yang Hongliang said.
"Captain Yang, according to their current route, if I'm not mistaken, they are about to enter the tunnel ahead, and our satellite will not be able to locate them.
And they are very close to the tunnel, so the people at the South Station may not be able to make it in time."
Hearing this, Yang Hongliang got up and walked to the person speaking, his eyes fixed on the screen, watching the route of the fleeing criminals.
Yang Hongliang's brow furrowed slightly. If they entered the underground tunnel, they could not only avoid satellite positioning but also shake off the helicopter behind them.
"They are using the same method. Go and check the surveillance in the tunnel immediately. If I'm not mistaken, some of the surveillance cameras have been damaged."
This group of people had used this method several times tonight to escape right under their noses, but they could do nothing about it.
There were too many underground passages in Kyoto, and there were countless surveillance cameras along the way. If a few were damaged occasionally, they had no way to check them one by one.
The technician immediately did as he was told and began to retrieve the surveillance footage from the underground tunnel cameras.
"Also, immediately request support from headquarters and have them send people to block all the exits of this tunnel."
Yang Hongliang continued to speak.
"Captain Yang, this... isn't it..."
At this moment, a police officer with the rank of second-class superintendent beside him spoke, his tone somewhat hesitant.
After all, to alleviate traffic congestion in Kyoto, the underground tunnels in Kyoto were built in a complex manner.
There were more than a dozen exits alone, which they could not block in a short period.
Moreover, it was the morning rush hour, and many people were waiting to go to work. If the lanes were blocked at this time, it would probably...
"This is the only way now. Also, notify all traffic police motorcycles in Kyoto to enter the tunnel and search. Once their vehicle is found, bite them tightly."
Although he knew it was basically impossible, the driver among the three had excellent driving skills and often participated in underground car races. He had shaken them off many times tonight.
"Captain Yang, many surveillance cameras in this underground tunnel have been hacked, and we can no longer see the road surface."
"As expected!"
Yang Hongliang gave a wry smile, he had long expected this outcome.
Among the three people, the second one had excellent driving skills, the boss was a hacker and was flexible-minded and responsible for command, and the third one had fought in underground boxing rings in his early years and had excellent fighting skills.
These three people were long-sought fugitives. They had planned multiple robberies over the years, and with their meticulous plans, no one could catch them.
Yang Hongliang did not expect these people to come to Kyoto this time, and their robbery locations had been unpredictable all night.
If this were the city center, they would not be so troublesome. The police force there was abundant, and they could be caught easily.
But now, it was still some distance from the city center... even if they transferred personnel, it would be too late.
They could only pray that the helicopter could catch up with them before they entered the tunnel.
"Alright, someone is injured ahead. Immediately notify the hospital to send a few ambulances."
Yang Hongliang had done all he could. The rest could only be left to fate. The police officers opened their car doors and got out to help the surrounding police officers evacuate the crowd and comfort the public.
"Captain Yang, according to the descriptions of the people around, the other party is likely to have hostages."
As soon as Yang Hongliang got out of the car, a police officer rushed to report to him.
"What? Quickly, notify the helicopter not to use weapons to intercept if they catch up. The other party's car may have hostages."
A police officer immediately ran into the car to contact the helicopter after hearing Yang Hongliang's words.
Yang Hongliang's brow furrowed. This made things even more troublesome. Once they entered the tunnel, they would be no different from blind men without satellite tracking.
If they had hostages in their hands, their arrest operation would become even more difficult.
"Captain Yang, someone wants to see you. The other party's identity might be quite significant..."
"Huh? See me? No, tell him to get lost."
He was annoyed at the moment and had no time to deal with these matters.
"Captain Yang, he said he is a family member of the hostage..."
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue's words, Lin Yan forced himself to calm down. He knew that the more it was like this, the more he could not be chaotic.
Moreover, Xu Xiaoyue said that the other party had a gun. If he chased after them at this time, it would be of no use.
"Tell me, what's the situation now."
Yang Hongliang looked at the young man wearing a helmet, his brow furrowed. The other party's attitude made him very dissatisfied.
But thinking that he was a family member of the hostage, he still explained the current situation.
"So, your most critical problem is that no one can catch up to their truck, am I right?"
"Yes, they can ram through as they please, but we can't. And once they enter the tunnel, we can't determine their whereabouts in a short time."
Yang Hongliang said, which was also their most troublesome problem.
If they could chase into the tunnel, they could confirm the other party's next escape route and then set up roadblocks ahead to carry out the arrest.
"In other words, if someone can catch up to their vehicle, then they might be able to catch them, am I right?"
Lin Yan looked at Yang Hongliang. Even though he tried his best to calm himself down, there was still a hint of panic in his eyes.
After spending the past two days together, he had grown fond of the little girl Su Mojin.
Moreover, he had learned from Xu Xiaoyue that Su Mojin had come to buy him a gift.
In his two lives, this was the first time Lin Yan had fallen in love with a woman, and now this incident had happened.
Even with his psychological resilience, he almost collapsed.
Hearing Lin Yan's words, Yang Hongliang nodded. Lin Yan was right. This was the current problem; they couldn't catch up to the truck ahead.
"Okay, you can't catch up, I will. Give me a real-time communication device."
