Chapter 597 Dabai, Stop Right There
Chapter 597 Dabai, Stop Right There
In the command center of the Kuncheng Traffic Police Brigade, the phone suddenly rang, breaking the originally slightly tense calm.
Police officers were busy shuttling between various workstations, handling various traffic matters.
Zhai Minghao's anxious voice came from the receiver, explaining in detail to the traffic police brigade Zhou Li's current dangerous behavior and the relevant matters that urgently required the cooperation of the traffic police department in the case investigation.
After learning about the situation, the head of the traffic police brigade realized the urgency of the matter and immediately issued a decisive order.
The relevant procedures were quickly launched, the license plate number of the vehicle under Zhou Li’s name was queried through his mobile phone number, and GPS positioning tracking was immediately implemented.
At the junction of the suburbs and the city, a key traffic hub with heavy traffic, the Kuncheng Traffic Police Brigade raced against time to quickly set up an interception point.
Traffic policemen acted skillfully and in an orderly manner, placing warning signs and setting up roadblocks, and arranging the entire interception area tightly.
Traffic police at various posts performed their duties with serious expressions, as if they were about to face a major challenge.
At this time, Zhou Li learned that his wife was brutally murdered by Al Robuk, and his only daughter was held hostage by the other party.
This series of bad news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly making him furious, and his reason was completely swallowed up by anger.
Like an angry bull, he rushed out of the house regardless of everything and headed straight for his car, a BYD sedan.
Zhou Li skillfully started the car and stepped on the accelerator to the floor. The BYD sedan sped down the road like an arrow from a bow.
The wheels rubbed against the ground violently, making a sharp sound. Wherever the vehicle passed, the strong airflow swept up the fallen leaves on the roadside.
It was like a small whirlwind, and the dust was blown high into the air, creating a messy scene, as if a small storm had passed through.
Just as Zhou Li was about to reach the entrance to the city, he saw from afar that the road ahead was blocked by a temporary checkpoint, and all vehicles passing by were being checked one by one by the traffic police.
In desperation, Zhou Li had to slowly release the accelerator and reduce the speed of the car. He was full of confusion and didn't understand what was going on.
At this moment, a traffic police officer made a standard gesture to him to stop by the roadside and get out. Under the deterrent of traffic rules, Zhou Li had to obey the traffic police's instructions and parked the car steadily by the roadside.
Immediately afterwards, several traffic police quickly surrounded Zhou Li's vehicle.
Zhou Li opened the car door with a bewildered look on his face and got out. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's going on? I didn't drive illegally all the way here!"
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing the epaulettes of a traffic police captain came forward with a serious look. He ignored Zhou Li's question and asked directly, "Are you Zhou Li?"
Zhou Li was overwhelmed by this sudden questioning. He nodded in confusion and responded, "I am. What's wrong?"
The traffic police captain's face was stern, and he shouted briefly: "Stop talking nonsense and come with us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two traffic police officers quickly approached Zhou Li from the left and right sides, forming a pincer attack, and took him towards the police car on the side.
As Zhou Li was taken into the police car, this temporary checkpoint quickly completed its mission and began to withdraw in an orderly manner.
Seeing this, the drivers of the vehicles waiting to pass around began to whisper and talk to each other.
They watched the police car slowly drive away with Zhou Li, their eyes full of curiosity and confusion, until the police car gradually went away and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Zhou Li, sitting in the police car, was extremely anxious. The anxiety and anger in his heart were like a surging tide that was difficult to suppress.
He kept shouting, "Why are you arresting me? I haven't committed any crime! My daughter is in the wrong hands. I have to get her back. There's no time to lose!"
However, no matter how excitedly Zhou Li argued, the traffic police sitting on his left and right sides remained serious and unmoved.
She didn't give him any response, but just watched over him quietly to make sure he wouldn't do anything extreme.
The police car sped along the highway, heading towards its designated destination. Zhou Li's fate, as well as the direction of this complex case, remained shrouded in mystery, waiting to be unravelled...
The clouds in the sky gradually turned orange, and the scorching sun faded its edge, casting a thin halo on the city's buildings, as if they were a bride about to get married.
Wu Lan sat steadily in the driver's seat of the police car, skillfully controlling the steering wheel with both hands and focusing intently on the road conditions ahead.
The dim light of the dashboard loomed in the darkening sky, forming a subtle echo with the neon lights outside the car window that had not yet turned on...
Inside the car, the indicator lights on the dashboard flickered faintly, contrasting with the bustling night scene outside the window.
Mu Xiaoji sat quietly in the passenger seat, looking particularly lonely. He stared out the window with a blank, unfocused gaze, as if his mind had already drifted far away.
The bustling scenes on the street flashed by, and the dim light through the car window cast shadows on his face, making him look even paler and more haggard.
Wu Lan glanced at Mu Xiaoji inadvertently, a trace of worry welled up in her heart, and she said with concern:
"You look so pale and exhausted, close your eyes and take a rest!
I'll call you when we get to the sea view villa." Her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing Mu Xiaoji.
Mu Xiaoji moved his lips slightly and whispered: "Send me the Goldsmith Bay Villa. Jiang Shuo is back with the little monster.
My mom and grandma were at the shopping mall and were chased and killed. They were terrified. I have to go home and check on them."
His voice was filled with fatigue and anxiety, as if those terrible scenes were still vivid in his mind.
When Wu Lan heard this, she was a little surprised, but she didn't say much. She just responded softly: "Oh, okay."
Then, she gently turned the steering wheel and adjusted the driving direction. The police car drove smoothly on the city streets towards the Goldsmith Bay Villa.
Time slipped away in silence, like a fleeting moment. After an unknown amount of time, the police car slowly slowed down and came to a steady stop in front of the imposing gate of the Goldsmith Bay Villa.
The trees, flowers and plants outside the villa sway gently in the breeze, making the surrounding environment particularly warm and peaceful.
Wu Lan subconsciously turned her head to look at Mu Xiaoji and found that he had fallen asleep without her knowing.
Wu Lan's eyes became complicated, staring blankly at Mu Xiaoji's beautiful facial features.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoji's eyes were closed, his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his cheeks, and the corners of his mouth were slightly turned down, as if there was still a trace of sadness.
Wu Lan's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to that night at the Hailar Hotel.
That day, the police, receiving a tip-off, conducted a surprise inspection of the Hailar Hotel. When they stormed into the room, they saw a scene that Wu Lan still remembers.
Mu Xiaoji and Jiang Chengyu were lying in the quilt of a big bed, both with panic-stricken expressions on their faces.
Afterwards, the two of them were taken back to the police station. In the cramped interrogation room, the interrogation lights emitted a glaring light, illuminating the room as bright as day.
Wu Lan and Zhai Minghao carefully checked Jiang Chengyu's suitcase. While searching, a colorful card with a very eye-catching marriage certificate caught everyone's eye.
At that moment, Wu Lan's heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, like a bottle of mixed feelings overturned.
All kinds of tastes, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, flooded my heart, and the complex emotions were difficult to describe in words.
Mu Xiaoji seemed to sense something strange in his sleep and slowly opened his sleepy eyes.
He was still half-conscious, his eyes blurry, and he inadvertently met Wu Lan's complex gaze. Instantly, an awkward atmosphere spread throughout the small car.
Mu Xiaoji looked away in a panic, his eyes flickering, and asked apologetically: "I'm sorry, why did I fall asleep? Are we home yet?" His voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up.
Wu Lan also came back to her senses immediately, her face flushed slightly, and she brushed the hair around her ears a little embarrassedly.
She whispered, "Well, we're home. Can I... go in and see him?" There was a hint of caution in her tone, as if she was afraid of touching a string in Mu Xiaoji's heart.
Mu Xiaoji didn't say much, just nodded gently. Then, the two of them tacitly unbuckled their seat belts, pushed open the car door, and got out.
The breeze as the sun sets gently blew past, ruffling their hair, as if trying to blow away the complexity and embarrassment that permeated the air.
As soon as Mu Xiaoji and Wu Lan stepped into the yard, the quiet atmosphere was broken by a burst of shouting.
"Dabai, stop right there!" Jiang Shuo's clear and childish voice echoed in the yard.
"It's been a year since we last met. You've grown so big, man. Try to run again, or I'll catch you and make soup for little daddy!"
When Wu Lan heard the voice, she looked and saw Jiang Shuo as a very nimble swallow, with a light and agile figure.
His bright eyes fixed on Dabai's running figure, and he kicked his legs hard, rushing out like an arrow.
Just like an eagle catching chicks, it stretched out its little hand accurately and grabbed Dabai's ear.
Then, he used the inertia of his body to skillfully turn in the air to adjust his posture and landed steadily on the ground. His movements were done in one go without any delay.
Jiang Shuo looked very proud, holding Dabai with a slightly mocking look, and said like a victorious general:
"I told you to bully me when I was young, why didn't you run away? You can't escape this time, right? Humph..."
As he spoke, he made a playful face, deliberately making a noise to scare Dabai, imitating a fierce tone,
"Ah... wait, I'm going to stew you and fill my little belly with a good meal."
After saying that, he looked at Dabai, who seemed to understand his threat and flapped his four legs desperately.
Jiang Shuo raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a triumphant smile on his face. Without hesitation, he hugged Dabai into his arms, turned around and ran towards the backyard.
All that was left was a series of cheerful footsteps and his laughter still echoing in the air.
The laughter was full of childish innocence and joy, as if it could dispel the slightly solemn atmosphere in the yard.
