I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 217 - 155: Joint Command of Two Provinces

Seeing that they weren’t in any immediate danger, Li Xiang slowly withdrew. This place was obviously a small hideout for the criminal gang. Besides Zhou Man, they also held four other victims here.

In the command car, everything he just saw was transmitted back through the first-person camera.

None of them expected that this operation would unexpectedly yield a pleasant surprise, allowing them to rescue four victims along the way.

Based on the scene reconnaissance, the criminals’ living conditions, and personnel configuration, the police were already fully aware of the situation.

Currently, there were six criminals on the mountain, five men and one woman, in addition to the four victims and Zhou Man.

Seeing Li Xiang return, Sun Zhidong was somewhat indignant, "Xiang, Flower Aunt still hasn’t shown up. I think she won’t appear this time. How about we just take action tonight, catch them off guard, and rescue the girls."

"Don’t rush, where’s the map? Let me take a look."

Su Jiayi immediately displayed the map on the big screen.

"From here to the border, it only takes one more day for them to cross. We still have time. Flower Aunt hasn’t shown up yet. I think we can afford to wait a little longer."

Li Xiang compared the map, calculating the distance from here to the border. According to the task force’s original plan, they intended to use Zhou Man to lure out Flower Aunt and then capture her. But now, with Flower Aunt’s delay in appearing, he wasn’t sure if this operation could be successfully completed.

"Listen to Captain Li. The victims’ safety is currently ensured. At least they’re safe until they cross the border. As long as we rescue them before they cross the border, there will be no problem."

"Exactly. We still have time."

That night,

The task force took turns on duty, resting in shifts, constantly listening to the situation inside the house through Zhou Man’s recording device.

But throughout the night, there were only the girls’ soft words of comfort.

The sun rose and set, the dawn illuminated the earth.

The farmers in the mountains also got up early, taking their tools to work in the fields.

The field team bought breakfast for everyone and distributed it. Each person quickly washed up and hastily finished their breakfast.

After breakfast, Li Xiang gathered them for a morning meeting to assign the surveillance tasks for the day.

Slap~

Sun Zhidong slapped his thigh, spreading his palm, revealing four squashed mosquitoes: "Damn, there are so many mosquitoes in this godforsaken place."

"Here, spray some mosquito repellent."

Hu Zhao handed over the mosquito repellent from his backpack again.

They were assigned in pairs to the opposite hillside, using binoculars to monitor the criminals’ movements, cooperating with the listening equipment in the command car to keep track of the hostages.

However, there were simply too many snakes, insects, rats, and mosquitoes in the mountains.

Sun Zhidong sprayed mosquito repellent and couldn’t last even half an hour before being surrounded by a battalion of mosquitoes again.

"It’s useless. Hurry up and change shifts, or they won’t find me."

"Why?"

"Because I’ll be carried away by the mosquito army."

Sun Zhidong grumbled as he sprayed more mosquito repellent on himself. When he saw a swarm of summer gnats flying densely ahead, he immediately sprayed them with the repellent, scattering them instantly.

"Take that, you bloodsuckers. Die, all of you."

"Stop fooling around, look, there’s movement at the foot of the mountain."

On hearing Hu Zhao’s reminder, Sun Zhidong promptly put down the mosquito repellent and raised his binoculars to look down the mountain.

He saw a white SUV climbing up the mountain road on the opposite hill and stopping halfway up.

In the house, Sister Xia led a few people to welcome them.

The car door opened, and out stepped a woman in ordinary clothes who at first glance looked like a farm woman. Sun Zhidong recognized her through the binoculars the moment she turned around: "Flower Aunt! Flower Aunt has appeared."

"What? Is it really Flower Aunt?"

"There’s no mistake. She looks exactly like the Flower Aunt Li Xiang sketched. I won’t get it wrong."

"Great, I’ll report to Captain Li now."

Hu Zhao was also a bit excited. Flower Aunt had finally appeared, and they could proceed with the capture.

"01, this is the observation team reporting: a white SUV has gone up the mountain. Flower Aunt is inside."

"Are you sure you saw clearly?"

"Saw clearly."

"Good, continue observing."

The appearance of Flower Aunt meant they could finally cast their net.

The atmosphere in the command car turned lively.

"Excellent! With Flower Aunt here, we can capture them tonight."

But before they could rejoice for long, Sun Zhidong reported again: "Something’s wrong. They’re here to pick people up. They’re getting ready to leave now."

Sure enough, just as the message came back, the recorder on Zhou Man picked up activity:

"Everyone stand, quickly, or do you want a beating."

"Please, let me go. I have no money, I really have no money."

"I’m not going. I won’t go anywhere."

"Big Bull, Big Zhuang, teach them a lesson for their insolence."

Clatter~

"Ah~"

"Stop hitting us!"

"Alright, we’ll go along."

"A bunch of stubborn fools, no tears until they see the coffin. Get in the car."

In the command car, everyone gritted their teeth, tightened their fists, and wished they could rush up the mountain now, capture everyone, and rescue the hostages.

However, the incident was sudden, and they weren’t fully prepared. Including the two additional suspects Flower Aunt brought, there were now a total of nine criminals on the mountain. Their danger level was still unknown, and these desperadoes might be carrying weapons, making hasty actions too risky.
