South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 285 1-way tracking

This reason doesn't make sense. If it was really Tian Hongyi, why didn't he directly inform Li Hongjun to escape when he caught Yu Daming?

Why do I always run into such bad cases? Previous cases were easy to deal with, not involving too many things, but this time it clearly involved collusion between officials and businessmen, and things became more and more troublesome.

Li Hongjun ran away this time, so it will become more difficult to catch him next time.

"Xiaojun, you didn't leave the interrogation room when Team Leader Wei called me away today, right?" Yuan Mu asked casually.

He hadn't thought that Liu Jun would leave in the first place, he just asked casually, but something went wrong just because of this question.

"Ah? I left. Deputy Team Leader Tian asked me to go out for some fresh air. I thought it was okay, so I went out for a while." Liu Jun was stunned for a moment and then replied.

Yuan Mu suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Jun with an angry look on his face.

"You said you left the interrogation room!"

"Yeah, what's wrong, Master?" Seeing his master suddenly get angry, Liu Jun felt a little confused.

"What else? Can't you see that Li Hongjun got wind of it and ran away this time?"

"I can see that someone did leak the information." Liu Jun nodded, but then he reacted. Liu Jun is not stupid, he just lacks experience. After Yuan Mu's reminder, he also reacted.

"You mean, Deputy Team Leader Tian? But that's not right. If he was a traitor, he should have informed Li Hongjun to escape long ago. It's unnecessary to let Yu Daming keep silent!"

Yuan Mu sighed. This was something he couldn't figure out. What was the reason? Was Tian Hongyi a traitor?

But after thinking about it, Yuan Mu still didn't tend to believe that Tian Hongyi was the traitor, because Tian Hongyi shouldn't do these things with his identity. It was too low-level. How much money could he make by monopolizing the vegetable market?

In fact, Yuan Mu made the mistake of empiricism. He used the ideas of his previous life to consider the problems of this era. Yuan Mu subconsciously ignored the fact that it was only 1983.

In this era, the economy in the north had not yet developed, and there were not many opportunities to make money. Monopolizing the vegetable market was a very profitable business. Although Tian Hongyi had a noble identity, he did not have much money.

In Yuan Mu's opinion, the little money earned from the vegetable market is not worth mentioning, but that doesn't mean that others don't think much of it. In such a large area, the money earned from vegetables in a year is not a small amount.

Soon, a car drove over. Yuan Mu got in and led his men to chase after the car along the tire tracks.

After chasing for about half an hour, the tire tracks disappeared. Now they have chased him for quite a distance. If they continue chasing him, they will be out of Ningyang. Could it be that Li Hongjun ran out of Ningyang?

"Master, are we still chasing?" Liu Jun asked as he stood in front of the disappearing wheel tracks.

"Where are we now?" Yuan Mu asked.

After hearing Yuan Mu's words, Liu Jun took out a map from his bag and spread it on the hood of the car. He searched for a while and then answered.

"Master, we are about to leave Ningyang. This is Huanggou Village!"

"That is to say, if we go further, we will reach the border of Yinzhou?"

"Yes, after we pass the ravine ahead, we will reach Yinzhou."

Yuan Mu thought to himself that if Li Hongjun really left Ningyang, it would be difficult to catch him again. The wheel tracks disappeared, but the car was gone. It was obvious that someone covered up the wheel tracks.

"Xu Yao!" Yuan Mu waved behind him, and soon, a man in armed police uniform and holding a submachine gun walked up to Yuan Mu. He was the team leader of the armed police team.

"Team Leader Yuan!"

"Take someone to use a broom to clear the snow ahead and look for tire tracks!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Xu Yao brought a dozen people with brooms and shovels to clear the snow in front, and soon the tire tracks appeared in front of everyone again.

Just like that, Yuan Mu used a clumsy method to continue chasing forward for more than ten kilometers and arrived at the Yinzhou area. Soon he saw an old Liberation truck parked in a valley.

Yuan Mu walked to the front of the Jiefang truck and carefully observed the traces inside the car. There were many footprints in the trunk of the car, all of which were traces left by stepping on the snow. There were also footprints on the driver's seat and the co-pilot seat.

Yuan Mu tried to start the car, but found that it wouldn't start at all. It was probably because it was out of gas.

They walked to the map and looked at their current location. They had already gone more than ten kilometers deep into Yinzhou and were located in a place called Lilong Village.

Yuan Mu picked up the telescope and stood on the car to look into the distance. There was indeed a village not far away. The area was not too big but not too small. There were probably hundreds of households. Some of the chimneys still had smoke coming out, probably because they were cooking.

I raised my wrist and looked at my watch. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon and it was getting dark. In another hour at most, it would be completely dark. In winter, it gets dark early.

"Xiao Wu, take some people to the Yinzhou Public Security Bureau and ask them to cooperate with us. First, let them contact the village chief and ask him to secretly check whether there is a group of strangers in the village." Yuan Mu called over a person next to him, who was a member of the supervision team.

"Okay, Team Leader Yuan!" Xiao Wu nodded, then led his men in a car and took a detour.

"Master, what should we do now?" Liu Jun walked over and asked.

"Wait!"

"Wait? What if they run away?"

"No, it's already dark. Even if they want to leave, they have to wait until tomorrow. Let's keep an eye on them here. As soon as they get the news back, we'll wipe out Li Hongjun and the others all at once."

"We can't let them run away again. If they run again, we probably won't be able to catch them. What I'm most worried about now is that the traitor will pass on information to them again!"

Yuan Mu did have this concern in his mind. He had not returned to the Municipal Bureau this afternoon, and it was inevitable that someone would be concerned. If the traitor informed Li Hongjun, things would be troublesome.

Now that Li Hongjun has no car, he is not worried about the other party escaping, but he is afraid that Li Hongjun will take the villagers in the village as hostages, which would be troublesome if that happened.

This kind of pursuit mission is the most difficult to handle, especially when it is entangled with ordinary people. Yuan Mu is not clear about the situation in the village and dare not move forward rashly. If he is discovered, the other party will be desperate and it will be a disaster.

Half an hour passed and it was completely dark. Everyone stayed in the car, but it was still quite cold. However, it was bearable for the time being.

At this moment, the person in charge of communications trotted to Yuan Mu's car and handed a piece of paper to Yuan Mu.

"Team Leader Yuan, Wu Yang is calling!"

Yuan Mu took the paper and started reading. Wu Yang was the member who had just been sent out. He had already arrived at the Public Security Bureau and informed the people there. The other party was willing to cooperate and had already called the village chief's home.
