Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 559 - 275: Tracking and Pursuit, 1st Explosion_2
"I think their plan for Baoyang City was just a test..."
Luo Fei suddenly spoke.
"I have an idea that everyone can consider. If it’s worth discussing, then we’ll proceed from my starting point."
"If Baoyang City was a part of their plan, then they should have hidden after accomplishing their task instead of continuing to travel within the province, as that would draw too much attention."
"Unless it was just a test site for the power of the explosion."
"From this perspective, their ultimate goal might be targeting us here. Jiangzhou is a place where they have reasons to act, possibly even a catalyst for this path of no return."
Liao Xingyu was the first to raise his hand upon hearing this.
"Well said."
"I agree!"
"Luo Fei’s line of thinking is exactly what I wanted to bring up but couldn’t clearly articulate. I suspect they treat both locations as core areas, but it doesn’t make sense to rush north after the Baoyang City explosion case."
"The larger the spectacle, the more it has the potential to attract unwanted attention."
Everyone agreed that it made sense.
"Well, it’s time for us to take action."
"Since we can’t currently pinpoint their hiding spots, we should first filter their activity locations."
Just as everyone started discussing, Luo Fei suddenly revealed a mysterious smile on his face.
Zhao Donglai playfully asked if he’d come up with a solution.
Luo Fei nodded, then spread out the documents on the table, pointing specifically to the areas affected by the explosions.
"The densely populated areas are their main operational zones. If they’re really targeting innocent civilians, we can use a ’luring the enemy into our trap’ strategy."
"What do you mean?"
"The entrance of the national highway is located in the south of the city. If we surround it under the pretense of an exercise, gather people around to observe, but keep evacuation routes open for emergencies, we can take control of the main area and keep a close watch on all suspicious individuals."
"In this way, it seems on the surface we’re offering them an opportunity, but in reality, we’re looking for flaws in their plan."
"Danger is two-sided. Just after the New Year, there aren’t many large gatherings, so this one strategy is enough to draw them out."
"If they really don’t want to miss this chance, it means they’re recklessly unplanned. But if they’re cautious and don’t show up, it proves they’re organized and we can plan strategic deployments based on the situation."
It was indeed a brilliant plan, and everyone agreed it was feasible.
Zhao Donglai also thought that although this plan was a test for the current police force’s deployment and organization, it was necessary to prevent major casualties in advance.
On the day of the operation, Luo Fei had everything set up in advance and sat at a nearby coffee shop with the other three team leaders.
The street exercise was approved by the higher-ups. To avoid arousing the suspects’ suspicions, they deliberately chose a critical intersection.
"Leader, we’re in position now."
Zhang Wei sent a message, and Luo Fei nodded.
Others were already guarding the surrounding area, watching every passerby.
At that moment, the door of the coffee shop opened, and someone came in to collect their coffee.
No one else paid attention, but Luo Fei turned his head alertly.
The person wore a hooded tracksuit, carrying an ordinary outdoor shoulder bag, looking like a typical sporty young man.
But curiously, the person’s pants were very bulky, looking like several pairs of padded pants were worn underneath.
Though the weather was cold, and some people dressed heavily for the cold, this person’s appearance made Luo Fei increasingly uneasy.
It was necessary to test this, so he got up with a cup of water, walked over, and accidentally spilled it as he shifted his body.
"Sorry, sorry..."
Taking advantage of helping to wipe the spill, Luo Fei reached out but the person dodged.
Though both appeared courteous, the deliberate leg protection was obvious, and their eyes met unavoidably, with a murderous intent erupting in an instant.
That glance determined the subsequent responses.
It wasn’t Luo Fei who initiated action, but the other person who pulled out a dagger, thrusting it forward.
Swish—
The white glint flashed by, only two inches from Luo Fei’s throat.
Fortunately, Luo Fei’s reflexes and speed were superior as he instantly kicked the attacker away.
The strength of the kick sent the opponent sprawling on the ground.
The other three immediately rushed over. Just as they were about to take action, the assailant suddenly pulled out a metal smoke pipe, swinging it fiercely, and a thick smoke engulfed them, obscuring their vision.
"Luo Fei!"
"Be careful!"
Liao Xingyu and others shouted, afraid of any accidents.
But Luo Fei had already darted through the smoke, chasing the mysterious person out of the coffee shop.
On the street outside, some were already watching the café. When Zhang Wei and others saw their leader rush out, they sensed something was wrong and led the other officers to surround the area.
The street patrol officers also sensed something was off, following the plan to evacuate the public under the guise of an exercise.
The onlookers assumed it was a regular drill, maintaining a harmonious appearance.
But only the sentries stationed knew that something was up!
Although it wasn’t clear who caught the attention of the criminal police, all areas needed to be on guard to prevent a bombing crisis.
The drones above and some snipers on rooftops were ready. If anyone dared to set up or plant explosives in a public place, they’d be shot to prevent it.
"Stop right there!"
Luo Fei performed a nimble flip, leaping from a height and stepping on a nearby hydrant to kick the mysterious person to the ground.
As the person fell, something rolled out of their pants.
Liao Xingyu and the three others who followed were taken aback.
It turned out that stuffed between the mysterious person’s inner thigh were two oval-shaped bombs, but they weren’t securely fastened, causing them to drop out.
Luo Fei’s pupils contracted upon seeing this, was the person a suicide operative sent by the bomb group? There was no time to think, he moved to control the individual and stepped on their waist.
Preventing contact with these two bombs could stop the detonation, though there was still a risk of remote control, but there was no other choice now.
"Don’t come any closer—"
Luo Fei shouted loudly, and the others halted in shock.
Even Zhao Donglai, who was a hundred meters away, furrowed his brows with concern.
Meanwhile, the mysterious person, strongly controlled, exerted all their strength to lift their head, revealing eyes under the hood filled with a resolute death wish.
But in the next moment, their facial expression froze, pupils dilated in horror.
Luo Fei realized this instantly; it was a signal!
The person was probably warning their accomplices!
He quickly turned, following the person’s gaze, and saw five figures standing on a nearby mall’s roof.
The five wore black tactical jackets, their faces hidden by hoods, standing firm like black spears planted in the ground.
They stood in plain sight, making no attempt to hide.
They stood above, always looking down on the chaos below.
Luo Fei took a deep breath.
He never expected the one he controlled turned out to be one of the six bomb group members, and they let one of them come to die? What kind of strategy was this?
"Rescue..."
The mysterious person under Luo Fei managed to utter one word before the bomb group on the rooftop pressed the switch.
Indeed, there was a remote control method!
Luo Fei delivered a swift kick to push the person away and immediately darted backward like a swift shadow. The two bombs between them started glowing red, releasing vapor from the hot glue, and the next moment...
Boom!
