In Sanlin Street, in a waste collection station facing the sea, an old man in his seventies came out with a flashlight and met Lao Yang and others at the door.
"Did you call to report it?" Lao Yang asked.
"Yes, I called Xiao Liu at the patrol point. Aren't you going to catch a fugitive?" The old man nodded and replied.
"Yes, there is a fugitive." Lao Yang immediately got straight to the point: "What clues do you have?"
"It's not an important clue." The old man replied clearly: "I'm here to beat the night watch, so I raised two dogs, but in the past two days, these two dogs seem to be a little hungry. They keep crying with hunger every day, and they always run out to the beach to pick up garbage..."
Tang Baiqing was stunned when he heard this: "What kind of clue is this? What can two dogs prove?"
"Don't argue!" Lao Yang waved his hand to interrupt the other party.
"I have raised these two dogs since they were young. As soon as they stick their butts out, I know what kind of shit they are going to poop." The old man replied confidently, "I live here alone. They usually eat whatever I eat... Unless they are hungry, they never go to the beach to pick up garbage. This time they are hungry and someone took away their food."
"Are there any others?"
"I felt something was wrong. I walked to the beach yesterday and saw that the two broken car mats thrown at the factory gate were gone." The old man turned around and pointed to the beach and said, "It's over there."
"You went there?" Old Yang asked.
"Am I sick?!" The old man frowned and replied, "I don't even know who stole the dog food. If I go over there and run into him, can an old man like me beat him?"
Old Yang pondered for a while, looked back at the third floor where Tang Baiqing killed people, and suddenly asked, "Do you think it's on the beach?"
"Yes, there is no one there. Other places are scrap collection points, and there are night watchmen." The old man nodded.
"Can you take us there?" Tang Baiqing asked.
"I won't go, you go by yourselves." The old man waved his hand: "What if there is someone who wants to retaliate against me?"
"Just over there?" Old Yang pointed to the seaside and asked.
"Yes!" The old man nodded.
"Let's go and take a look." Old Yang immediately ordered.
...
Late at night, Old Yang, Tang Baiqing and the other five followed the direction pointed by the old man and walked about two kilometers to the garbage dump on the seaside.
This garbage dump is filled with harmless domestic garbage, which is used for reclamation projects on the coastline. And it is also related to the Su family, because the sanitation garbage will be sent here by workers by car only after it is sorted.
The radiation area of the dump is very large and has a strong odor. After Old Yang and others came over, they deliberately hid next to a garbage dump.
"You don't have to follow us. We'll just go over and take a quick look." Old Yang pulled out his gun and whispered to Tang Baiqing.
"Okay." Tang Baiqing nodded.
"Call the station and ask Eryang on duty to bring someone over." Old Yang then told his colleagues, "Check your guns and be careful."
"This is a matter that has not been decided yet. Do we still need to notify Eryang?" The police officer next to him frowned and asked back.
"No, what the old man said is quite reliable. I feel like we have really touched the clue." Old Yang replied completely based on his experience and intuition: "Be careful. If you find anything abnormal in advance, don't move first. Wait for someone to come. This way it will be safer."
"Okay."
The police officers following Old Yang were all experienced. After a brief discussion, they immediately dispersed and entered the garbage area. Tang Baiqing, who could not help much, stayed outside and waited.
If a normal person were to search such a large garbage area, it would probably take more than three hours to finish the search, but Lao Yang and his companions were different. They were all criminal police officers who had been working for many years. Their character might not be very good, but their professionalism was still very strong.
Lao Yang and his companions entered the garbage area and only took a rough look at the surrounding environment to roughly determine where it was suitable for hiding people, where it was convenient for suspects to move around, and where the complex terrain was conducive to escape.
The four old police officers kept a visual distance. After searching for about twenty minutes, one of them suddenly stepped forward and found Lao Yang, whispering, "Brother Yang, this way."
Lao Yang and his companions heard the sound and approached. The police officer pointed to a row of huge hollow cement pipes not far away and said, "There are footprints in the wet soil over there, quite a lot."
The beach has a lot of wet and weak sandy and gravel land, so once there are footprints, they will be particularly obvious. Lao Yang bent down and glanced over there, and immediately rushed over with a gun.
The pile of cement pipes was about four meters high. The hollow width of each pipe was about the same as the entrance of the sewer. These pipes were stacked together, looking like horizontal honeycomb coal.
The four searched for about a minute, and someone on the left suddenly shouted: "I found it!"
Old Yang ran over and looked up at the second layer of cement pipes. He saw a plastic bag and two worn-out car mats placed side by side.
"It's here. Car mats are for sleeping. It's too cold to lie on the cement pipes." The police officer on the left immediately climbed up, reached out and opened the plastic bag, squatted and moved outside, and took a look in the moonlight: "It's leftovers. Damn, he didn't take this thing away, he must come back."
When Old Yang heard this, he immediately whispered: "Quick, get out, hurry up!"
The police officer put the plastic bag back to its original position and bent over to get out.
"Go ahead, squat over there, wait for our people to arrive, wait for him to come back." Old Yang called out, and retreated with his gun.
The four retreated immediately, hid on the side of a garbage dump, and occupied a position where they could observe the situation in the cement pipe area.
"Hurry up again, ask where the police station people are." Old Yang ordered with sweat on his forehead.
"Tap tap!"
Tang Baiqing came over from behind and whispered, "How is it?"
"I feel it." Old Yang whispered back, "There must be someone living here, and it is very likely that guy."
"That's good, that's good." Tang Baiqing nodded repeatedly.
The police officer next to Old Yang took out his phone and was about to call his colleague on duty at the police station when he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps from the south side of the cement pipe pile.
"Don't move, don't move!" Old Yang held the other person's wrist.
Under the moonlight, the burly Big Bear walked quickly towards the pile of cement pipes, holding a white plastic bag in his hand. In the moonlight, two pieces of clothes could be vaguely seen inside.
"It's him, he's back!" Old Yang recognized Big Bear at a glance, and excitedly ordered: "Spread out, seal off the surrounding area, and wait for our people to come."
The three police officers nodded, and Tang Baiqing whispered eagerly: "Catch him now! Five people can't catch him alone, so we don't have to wait for the police station, right?"
"Don't make a fuss, he's a bit strong, and he's probably familiar with the terrain nearby..."
Just as Old Yang whispered back, Big Bear, who had already walked to the pile of cement pipes, suddenly stopped.
Under the moonlight, Big Bear looked down at the messy footprints on the gravel ground, and suddenly took a step back.
"Why doesn't he leave?" Tang Baiqing was a little confused.
Daxiong stared at the ground for a while, and took two steps forward with obvious hesitation, looking up into the cement pipe where he lived.
The faint light shone into the cement pipe, and Daxiong saw a lot of yellow sand and footprints at the entrance of the pipe.
"Shua!"
Daxiong did not hesitate this time, and turned around and left.
"Damn it!"
Lao Yang suddenly jumped up: "This kid is very careful, he saw it. Catch him!"
The three police officers rushed out immediately after hearing the sound, and Tang Baiqing turned his head to glance around, picked up a worn-out shovel, and rushed up with Lao Yang.
Daxiong looked back behind him, kicked his legs and ran.
"Shoot him, shoot him!" Tang Baiqing gritted his teeth and roared viciously.
"Kang!"
The gunshot.
