Chapter 1 Inside the Special Task Force Office of the Coast Guard

Su Tianyu glanced at the dirty Hou Guoyu, "What clues do you have?!"

"The thugs are likely to run away soon, so let's make it quick." Hou Guoyu's mind was very clear. He grabbed Su Tianyu's arm and led him toward the monitoring area, quickly explaining what he had encountered in the past two days.

Su Tianyu was also stunned after listening, "You picked up a little girl, such a crucial clue, why didn't you report it earlier?"

"Who would have thought a little girl would be related to this case? Besides, the current deduction is just speculation." Hou Guoyu responded and walked into the monitoring center.

The two stood next to the clerical staff, Hou Guoyu pointed to several large screens and said, "Adjust the surveillance footage around the intersection of Beian Street and Nantong Street, from two hours ago to now, play at four times the speed!"

The clerical staff looked at Hou Guoyu, who had been temporarily assigned, and was immediately confused.

"Listen to him!" Su Tianyu ordered.

The clerical staff, after receiving the order, immediately did as instructed and began checking the surveillance footage from the past two hours.

Hou Guoyu craned his neck, carefully watching the monitor screen, his head shaking quickly, "Increase the speed by two times!"

About fifteen minutes later, Hou Guoyu suddenly shouted, "Stop, rewind thirty seconds!"

After the clerical staff did so, Hou Guoyu stared at the monitor screen and suddenly pressed pause, pointing to a gray commercial vehicle and saying, "That's it, they really came back, I guessed right!"

"You mean, they might be hiding around here?!" Su Tianyu immediately asked.

"Yes!" Hou Guoyu nodded, "Definitely around here!"

Without saying a word, Su Tianyu turned and ran out of the monitoring center, directly rushing into Director Cheng's office, "We have a lead!! We need to gather police force immediately...!"

"Are you sure?" Old Cheng stood up and questioned.

"Sure!"

"Notify Fang Zheng, have him gather the first squadron of police, get the equipment, quickly!" Old Cheng shouted at a deputy director.

...

Nantong Street, inside a rental warehouse.

Wang Xiong sat on a chair, smoking a cigarette, and said softly, "How much has been buried?"

"It's been crushed, but the bones are not easy to handle, it'll probably take a while!" The young man next to him replied, wiping his sweat.

"Hurry up!" Wang Xiong urged.

"Yes!" The young man turned and left.

Next to him, two Eastern Europeans were cursing as they rubbed iodine and disinfectant, clearly having been beaten badly by Hou Guoyu.

"Di Ling Ling!"

Just then, Wang Xiong's phone rang. He put down his legs and reached for his phone.

...

Ten minutes later.

Eight police cars drove out of the Coast Guard team and quietly arrived at the warehouse rental area near Nantong Street.

The warehouses in this area were basically bought out by big bosses at once and then rented to small business people in the surrounding area through rental companies. The management was usually chaotic, and no ordinary people came here.

Inside an SUV, Su Tianyu wore a bulletproof vest and cocked his pistol, "How did you know they were here!"

Hou Guoyu sat in the back seat, frowning, and said, "After that little girl found me, she dragged me around here for a few laps. At the time, I didn't understand what she meant, but now it all makes sense. I guess this little girl probably ran out in the chaos on the night of the Tianlan gun case. It was raining heavily that night, and it was dark, she was very flustered... So she didn't remember the surrounding buildings and terrain at all, because the streets in the port look almost the same, but the direction should be right."

"You mean there might be a lot of people like that little girl?!" Su Tianyu instantly understood Hou Guoyu's meaning.

"That's right!" Hou Guoyu nodded immediately, "Something happened to Tianlan Company, they might have transferred people urgently to hide here."

While the two were talking, the car had already stopped in an alley. In front of them was the entrance to a warehouse, and Hou Guoyu had just seen in the surveillance footage that the gray commercial vehicle had stopped here and four or five people had gotten out.

Inside the intercom, Fang Zheng's voice rang out, "Are you sure it's here?!"

Su Tianyu immediately replied, "It's here!"

"Okay, teams two and three control the surrounding area to prevent the thugs from escaping. Assault team, team one, go in and arrest people!" Fang Zheng immediately shouted into the intercom.

"Hua la!"

With the order issued, Su Tianyu immediately pushed open the car door and rushed down. The police officers behind him reminded Hou Guoyu to wear a bulletproof vest, but the latter waved his hand directly, "I don't need that stuff!"

Thirty seconds later.

More than twenty heavily armed Coast Guard队员 quickly approached the warehouse front gate.

Su Tianyu, walking in the front, immediately looked up at the surveillance camera in the upper left corner of the warehouse, "It moved, it moved! The people inside saw us!"

"Bring up the riot gun!" Fang Zheng immediately roared.

"Hua la!"

A police officer, holding a riot shotgun, reached out and cocked the gun, then directly pulled the trigger.

"Peng!"

"Hua la!"

The iron door lock shattered instantly!

"Guang dang!"

Su Tianyu yanked open the iron door and was the first to rush in with his gun.

"Sou sou sou...!"

Seven or eight stun grenades were thrown into the room, and the warehouse hall instantly became a vast expanse of white. The thugs who were just about to grab their guns to resist covered their eyes and fled around in a panic.

"Bang bang bang!"

Su Tianyu bent over and moved forward, sidestepping and firing three shots at a thug who was about to resist with an automatic rifle, hitting the opponent's legs and arms, knocking him down on the spot.

"Don't move!"

"Everyone, squat on the ground!!"

"...!"

Fang Zheng led the main force in, quickly controlled the hall, while the assault team, holding riot shields, searched the surrounding corridors all the way.

Hou Guoyu wasn't looking for anyone else, he was only looking for Wang Xiong, who had been sitting in the gray van, staring at him with gloomy eyes!

After passing through two corridors in a row, Hou Guoyu didn't see Wang Xiong, but he saw two people preparing to jump out of a window to escape!

"Sou!"

Hou Guoyu rushed over like a whirlwind, and in less than five seconds, he had dealt with the two thin thugs. Then he turned his head and saw a box next to them.

Hou Guoyu walked over, reached out and directly opened the box lid, but the scene inside was unforgettable for him!

A little girl, her face pale, was lying curled up in the wooden box. She was still wearing the dress that Hou Guoyu's father had bought her, but she was no longer breathing. There were obvious strangle marks on her neck, left by an adult's hand.

She was dead. The last beautiful memory in her life was Hou Guoyu's father taking her to the children's store...

The little girl's eyes were tightly closed, and her right hand was still clutching the torn pieces of colored pinwheel paper.

Hou Guoyu looked at her corpse in horror, and unconsciously clenched his fists. The suppressed and angry emotions in his heart were completely beyond words!
