Chapter 385 Screening

In Xiangye Community, in a room on the fourth floor of a building with some peeling paint on the exterior wall, Han Rui was lying on the sofa, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

He wears a strange-looking hat on his head - the hat is white, like paper, leather or plastic, and the specific material cannot be seen. The hat didn't have any shape, just like a paper hat folded by a child.

The paper hat looked a little wet, as if it had been soaked in water. But as time goes by, it is quickly drying out. Finally, when Han Rui woke up, the water stains on it completely disappeared.

At this moment, it seems to have truly become a piece of plain white paper.

Han Rui opened his eyes, stood up straight, curled his lips, tore the paper hat off his head, rolled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

After thinking about it, he picked out the paper hat again, went to the bathroom, threw it into the toilet, and then flushed it.

The mission is almost complete. The development of things is moving forward according to its own plan. Tonight, the mission will finally end. After that, he will get paid, and no one will know that he was quietly promoting this matter behind the scenes.

After stretching, he put on his coat, packed some things, stuffed them into his backpack, put on a peaked hat, opened the door and walked out.

At this moment, He Wei also arrived near Xiangye Community. Because one of the key figures in this incident, the man named Horford, lives here.

He Wei was dressed casually, like a passer-by who could be seen everywhere. She was walking around randomly in this community, seemingly carelessly, just like any resident of the community, but her eyes were quietly observing the environment here.

"If our speculation is true, then the manipulator behind the scenes is most likely near Horford, in this community, or somewhere nearby."

She thought silently and walked around casually.

A young man wearing a peaked cap, who was of average height and looked a little thin walked towards him. The young man had a relaxed smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.

He Wei glanced at him without paying too much attention.

The two passed each other by without leaving any trace in each other's heart.

Han Rui just walked out of the community, looked at the street in front of him lazily, and began to think about where to go to eat. At this moment, a police car drove over from the left side of the road and stopped dozens of meters away from Han Rui.

His heart suddenly lifted slightly.

Several security officers got off the police car, walked into a nearby store together, and then started talking to the boss, not knowing what they were asking.

It's just that... one of the security guards seemed to have glanced in his direction intentionally or unintentionally just now.

Han Rui is a suspicious and cautious person. He knew very well that normally what he did would never be discovered. No one can realize that these things have anything to do with them. But he still acted cautiously.

He was very sure that it was normal for him to encounter police cars and security guards while walking on the road. 99.99999% has nothing to do with yourself.

But... this is the fourth time in the past two days that I have encountered a security guard.

The frequency seems a bit too high.

What if... there really is an official force that is keeping an eye on me behind the scenes? These security guards are here to perform other tasks, but their real purpose is to monitor themselves?

After thinking for a while, Han Rui quickly came up with an idea.

Are they targeting him, or are they just passing by? As long as they test it out, everything will be revealed.

He looked around and saw a shared motorcycle just ten meters away from him. He walked over and just took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code when he saw a young woman walking in front of the motorcycle. She took out her mobile phone and scanned the QR code in one go.

I was so preoccupied before that I didn't see another person also aiming at the car and taking action before me.

The young woman was wearing casual clothes and looked like a local resident. Her skin is not fair, but has a slightly healthy wheat color. His appearance is not stunning enough, but he has a heroic air about him.

The woman frowned slightly and looked at Han Rui with some confusion, as if asking him what he was doing standing next to her.

Han Rui glanced at the woman greedily and sighed silently in his heart, with a look of disdain on his face: "I'll scan the one next to me. Uh, are you from this community too?"

"What's up?"

"Uh, it's okay, I just wanted to..."

Han Rui was a little embarrassed and did not dare to look directly into this woman's eyes. He wanted to say something more, but when he raised his head again, he saw that the woman had already walked away on a bicycle.

This made Han Rui a little annoyed.

Shaking away some of the fantasies in his head, he made himself nervous and serious again, then he glanced at a motorcycle next to him, got on it, and walked slowly towards the spot where the police car stopped before.

He has already thought about several different endings of his temptation, and formulated a response plan for each direction.

When his motorcycle first arrived near the police car, the security guards seemed to have finished questioning the boss and were walking towards another store. During this process, another security guard glanced at the street intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes passed over Han Rui again, making Han Rui's heart tense again.

As if he didn't grasp the handlebars well, the motorcycle suddenly tilted and hit a watermelon stall nearby. The stall shook twice, and a big watermelon fell to the ground and exploded, with pulp and juice flowing all over the floor.

The melon vendor immediately stood up and shouted, "Why are you riding a bicycle?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it by accident."

Han Rui looked at the security guard next to him and dealt with the vendors casually. The car did not stop and continued to move forward.

"Hey! You want to leave after you drop the melon! Stop, don't leave! If you drop the melon, you have to buy it!"

The vendor stepped forward and grabbed Han Rui, forcing him to stop.

Some pedestrians nearby saw the quarrel here, and their eyes unconsciously gathered over. The security guards also looked here, but did not come over.

Han Rui continued to pay attention to their movements.

"It's obvious that your stall was placed too far outside. This is a highway! Your stall stretched out onto the highway. You touched my leg just now and I almost fell. It's a good thing that I didn't ask you to pay for the medical expenses. Now, you still dare to ask me to pay compensation? You are still being unreasonable!"

Han Rui immediately got into trouble.

The vendor was furious: "Who is unreasonable? You hit my stall and you want me to pay for it?"

The two began to quarrel and refused to give in to each other. The security guards finally came over.

Han Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and tensed his body slightly, ready to deal with any changes.

He knew that if these security officers really targeted him, they would almost certainly try to arrest him directly after having to interact with him later. Because they are also afraid of alerting the snake - now that the snake has been startled, they can only capture it, otherwise what will happen if the snake runs away?

But it doesn't matter, Han Rui is confident that he can escape from the roundup of these security guards. Because things happened in a hurry, even if the other party really targeted him, they definitely didn't plan to arrest him now. Without adequate preparation, it is not difficult to escape on your own.

If those security officers hadn't targeted him, then this time they would just treat it as a dispute that was too small to be trivial. They had to deal with it just because they happened to encounter it. There was no need to even take him to the bureau for further investigation. .

In this way, through a simple test, he can know whether the official forces are aware of the mission he is performing.

When the four security guards finally came to him, Han Rui's spirit was extremely tense.

"What's the noise about? What's going on?"

"Comrade security officer, he..."

"Comrade security officer, I..."

"Don't argue, just say it first!"

The vendor told what happened. Han Rui also began to "fight with reason." After understanding what happened, the security officer began mediation, which ended with Han Rui agreeing to pay compensation.

After the dispute ended, Han Rui got back on his motorcycle and walked sideways. After walking for dozens of meters, the security guard did not catch up with him. Instead, he went to another store. Only then did Han Rui feel completely relieved.

He understood that the official forces were really not targeting him.

On the other side, at another exit of the community, He Wei stopped her motorcycle with some disappointment, locked it, hailed a taxi, and headed back to the base.

Several hours of field visits yielded nothing.

Back at the base, He Wei saw Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming still guarding the monitoring screen.

"At this stage, even if there is a manipulator behind the scenes, there is no need for him to continue to come forward. The preliminary layout of the entire incident has been completed. In my opinion, if the manipulator behind the scenes really wants to come forward, it will probably be tonight."

Tonight, Zhao Zonghai will go night fishing with Horford. After 12 o'clock tonight, in the early hours of tomorrow, it will be Zhao Zonghai's "death date" on that old piece of paper.

"Has the terrain survey been completed?"

"Soon. There are six aerial drones mapping Xiaoshu Village and its surrounding terrain."

Zhang Dingshan let out a sigh of relief: "Then wait until tonight."

"yes."

The second operation team will mobilize a large number of guards to lay a dragnet around the fishing position near Xiaoshu Village. If the manipulator behind the scenes really existed, he would most likely have to go to the scene to bring about the ending of "Zhao Zonghai slipped and drowned." At that time, it was time for our own side to arrest people.

Zhang Dingshan was just about to leave to make detailed arrangements for tonight's lurking and defense matters. Before he could walk out the door, his cell phone rang.

When the call was connected, Lu Qingliang's excited voice came out: "Captain, we have discovered something!"

"Um?"

Zhang Dingshan narrowed his eyes slightly, turned on the computer and switched to the video conference room: "What's going on?"

"The personnel investigation has results! The information analysis team has screened out one person among the four people who have the intersection of time and space with Zhao Zonghai, Zhao Zongshan, Horford, and Wu Hong!"

Lu Qingliang uploaded several photos to the video conference room and said quickly: "About half an hour after Zhao Zongshan made the key decision to resign, this person was photographed about 120 meters away from the 'site of the incident' in a straight line.

Then there is Wu Hong. An hour after Wu Hong made the "key decision" to reduce the price of that fishing rod, he was photographed again 60 meters away from the Big Fish Fishing Tackle Store.

In the Xiangye Community where Horford is located, 20 minutes after he called Zhao Zonghai to arrange a night fishing together tonight, he was also photographed at the gate of the Xiangye Community! The portrait comparison has been successful. Although this person is dressed differently, it has been confirmed that he is the same person! "

Lu Ming stared closely at the photos Lu Qingliang uploaded, distinguishing them carefully.

The man next to Zhao Zongshan had short hair, a beard, a stained leather jacket, dark skin, and looked like a manual worker.

The man photographed near the Big Fish Fishing Tackle Shop has long, slightly messy hair, no beard, and looks not in good spirits, as if he is hungover.

The man photographed at the gate of Xiangye Community was wearing a peaked cap and looked a little introverted. He was standing in front of a shared motorcycle and was talking to a woman who was already riding on the motorcycle. But the woman's back was only photographed, and her face could not be seen.

Lu Ming subconsciously felt that the woman was familiar, but he didn't think much about it.

At just a glance, it would be easy to mistake the people in these three photos for three people. But if you look carefully, you can tell that they are clearly the same person!

Even Lu Ming didn't expect that the information screening would yield results so quickly.

"Okay! First it's another city where Zhao Zongshan is located, and now it's Haiyuan City. Every time it appears, the time and place are close to the time and place where key figures make key decisions. How can there be such a coincidence in the world!"

At this moment, without further identification, Lu Ming had already determined in his heart that this young man who looked slightly thin must be related to this incident.

Just when Lu Ming was about to ask Lu Qingliang for more detailed information, he saw He Wei's face gradually turning pale and even swearing.

"Damn it, it's him!"

He Wei gritted her teeth: "I've met him twice! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it... If I had known it was him, I should have given him a kick."

Recalling how the suspect escaped from her hands twice, He Wei regretted so much that her heart ached.

Lu Ming turned his head stiffly and looked at the photo again, carefully looking at the woman whose back was only photographed, and said hesitantly: "This, is this you?"

"Who else could it be if not me?"

He Wei was so depressed that she almost went crazy: "That kid wanted to strike up a conversation with me, but I was too lazy to pay attention to him, so I just left. I didn't expect that, damn..."

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "It was actually a good thing that you didn't find him at that time."
