While the manhunt is in progress

Chapter 48
"How much gas does your car have? How far can it go? What's the top speed?"

When Song He asked Fang Ming, he turned off the map system, but wrote down the train number and carriage number where Cui Guozhu and others were.

Fang Ming knew the situation was urgent and quickly replied: "Full tank. Less than 300 kilometers. The limit is [-] kilometers per hour, but I have never driven that fast."

"Drive! Get on the highway!" Song He slumped into the passenger seat, while Wu Xuerui and Hao Yuqing followed without hesitation and sat in the back row.

Song He glanced at the two of them and smiled helplessly, but he let them do it, it's just that he needed to find a reason for his behavior in this way.

"At noon, the father of the abducted child sent the child to the kindergarten as usual, but he was negligent when buying cigarettes in the small shop opposite the kindergarten and left the child outside the store. When he came out of the store, the child had disappeared .

"At that time, he thought that the child had walked into the kindergarten by himself, and he didn't care. It was only when the kindergarten teacher called to inquire that something was wrong. By this time, the child had disappeared for nearly five or ten minutes."

"How could this father be so careless!" Hao Yuqing couldn't help complaining.

"Fortunately, there are eyewitnesses nearby. He saw that the child was taken away by a woman surnamed An who was setting up a street stall nearby. He left in the direction of Nancheng District. I guess it's time for Lao Zhao to mobilize the police to search."

Wu Xuerui nodded when she heard the words, and then shook her head: "It is estimated that it is difficult to find. The traffickers have been setting up stalls in front of the kindergarten all year round. It is obviously premeditated. After they succeed, there is no reason to stay any longer."

"That's right." Song He continued to analyze: "The Yucheng Railway Station and the bus station are all in Nancheng District, and no matter what kind of transportation you take, the combination of a woman and a child is not easy to hide, and the characteristics are too obvious."

"I'll first contact Master to screen the long-distance buses departing during this time period. The bus company can contact the driver of each long-distance vehicle in real time!" Wu Xuerui called Zhao Congjun after finishing speaking.

Wu Xuerui didn't shy away from anyone, and told Song He's guess about herself and Song He on the speakerphone, and Zhao Congjun asked Cheng Bin to implement it without hanging up the phone.

"Who is that? Are you there?" Zhao Congjun's voice came from the phone.

Song He took the phone call from Wu Xuerui and said calmly, "I'm here."

"We have to find the child no matter what." Zhao Congjun's tone was rarely refused.

Song He replied without thinking, "I'll do it if you don't say it."

Hearing Song He's answer, Zhao Congjun seemed relieved a lot, and warned: "Also, don't let them jump over the wall in a hurry and hurt the child."

"I'll take care of things, don't worry." Song He agreed to the phone, hung up the phone simply, and didn't take Zhao Congjun's intentional instructions to heart.

"Human traffickers are most concerned about whether they can leave safely, so they will try their best to avoid all risks." He continued to analyze: "Because of this, it is estimated that it will be difficult to obtain results from the investigation of long-distance buses. There are two reasons. One is because the number of passengers is too large. The second is what Xiaoxue said, the long-distance bus is convenient for contact and investigation, and it is very likely that you will be caught before you escape far.”

"You're right. In this way, only the train will be left." Wu Xuerui said thoughtfully, "The train has a large number of people, and the composition is complex, which is really easy to hide. But you must use your own ID to buy the ticket, so now we should target children. In the time period after the loss, check the stop information of Yucheng Railway Station and the information of boarding passengers."

Song He nodded, and Wu Xuerui began to contact the colleagues of the police station for verification without saying a word, and the Nancheng District Police Station also began to operate at full capacity to conduct joint investigations.

Ten minutes later, when the car was about to board the expressway, Wu Xuerui received a call from Cheng Bin, saying that he had contacted all the long-distance bus drivers, but no women or children matching the characteristics were found.

Soon, the train station information was also sent to Wu Xuerui's mobile phone.

"Nine female passengers surnamed An entered the station during the time period when the child was lost, and one of them bought multiple tickets for trains at different time periods!" Wu Xuerui spoke very quickly: "An Huifen! 10 minutes, 10 minutes, 29 minutes, and 37 minutes after the child was taken away! All are regular expresses, all heading east!"

"To hide it!" Song He snorted coldly: "She thinks she can confuse her eyes by doing this?"

"I'll contact my colleagues right away and tell the flight attendants of these trains to check the tickets and confirm An Huifen's location." Wu Xuerui called again.

Seeing this, Song He reminded: "Besides the name and characteristics, don't tell the flight attendants other information about the case, lest they lose their composure and miss the mark. If they startle the snake, it may cause harm to the child. Also, they may not be on the ticket. seat."

"They?" Wu Xuerui noticed Song He's wording.

"That's right, the train corresponding to the first ticket departed 10 minutes after the child was lost, and such a short time was not enough for her to rush to the train station to buy a ticket and enter the station to board the train. Tickets will no longer be sold." Song He took advantage of the gap before Wu Xuerui's call was connected and quickly explained: "So there is someone else who bought the ticket."

"Partner!" The people in the car said in unison.

Wu Xuerui nodded to indicate understanding and communicated with the colleague on the other end of the phone.

Soon, the car had already entered the high-speed entrance, and the landing gear in front of the car was slowly raised. Feeling Fang Ming's questioning gaze, Song He calmly said, "Xiangcheng direction."

Without saying a word, Fang Ming stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep sped away with a roar.

Song He slowly explained: "Railways are not as convenient and common as highways. There is often only one railway line between the cities it connects. And each city has different scales, and the number of railways radiating to surrounding cities also varies. It’s different. Except for the capital of Qin and a few special-level cities, there are at most four routes in general cities, that is, four directions. As for Yucheng, there are only two directions, east and west, and the next station in the east.”

"Is it Xiangcheng?" Hao Yuqing understood.

"Yes. But before arriving at Xiangcheng, the train will pass through a town stop on the way. Although there is a high probability that they will not get off there, it is still necessary to pay attention." Song He Duran said.

Wu Xuerui, who was in charge of collecting real-time information, looked at the train information on her mobile phone and quickly said, "Only the 37-minute train will stop there."

Song He squinted his eyes. With the help of the system, he would naturally be able to pinpoint the location accurately, but if he wanted to concentrate his efforts on arresting him, he had to have a justifiable reason.

Fortunately, it was common for him to have causes leading to causes. He quickly figured it out and said to everyone: "It's not on that train. If such towns and villages have to stop, let alone others. Generally speaking, If the speed is too slow, it will slow down their escape speed.”

The three of them nodded after hearing this, and Song He asked, "Where is the last common stop of the remaining two trains?"

"Yecheng, there are still [-] kilometers left. Before that, there were Xiangcheng and Yuecheng." Wu Xuerui replied quickly.

"It should be in time, wait for the investigation on the train." Song He nodded, looked at the worried Wu Xuerui, and comforted him: "There are three conductors in one carriage, the investigation will be quick, don't worry."

After hearing this, Wu Xuerui finally relaxed a little, and suddenly felt tired all over her body, and slightly dizzy in her head, which was obviously a sequela of sudden relaxation under mental stress.

Fortunately, the sequelae were not serious, and she recovered after a while. The phone rang, and she quickly connected it. After a while, her eyes lit up: "The results of the train investigation are available. The train in 29 minutes, train number X1508, [-] Compartment. There are three people in total, and the seats they are in are indeed different from those shown on the ticket, they just say that the child is asleep and needs to be quiet before resting in that compartment."

"The child is asleep?" Song He was taken aback for a moment, then his face darkened, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "It's really unscrupulous."

"You mean..." Wu Xuerui guessed what Song Hexiang said, and her face changed: "How could they do this?! Aren't they afraid of accidents for the children!"

Fang Ming and Hao Yuqing also understood that in order to keep the child quiet, the traffickers actually used tricks to put the child into a deep sleep!
Hao Yuqing gritted his teeth and said, "Scum! They are all scum!"

Fang Ming increased the strength under his feet. While the speed of the car was rising rapidly, his opponent who was holding the steering wheel was getting harder and harder.

Seeing this, Song He calmly said, "Fang Ming, we are chasing criminals. If you can't drive calmly, then I will change to Xiaoxue to drive in the next service area!"

Fang Ming was taken aback for a moment, but felt the rare seriousness in Song He's tone, and immediately nodded silently.

Fortunately, there were not many vehicles on the expressway at this time, so he kept his speed at the highest speed he could drive stably, and headed all the way to Xiangcheng!

Song He looked coldly at the ever-shrinking distance between Cui Guozhu and the others in the system. He kept thinking, and after a while he said, "Yucheng is [-] kilometers away from Xiangcheng. According to the train schedule, there should be one and a half kilometers away." Arrived in Xiangcheng within an hour."

"One hour and 28 minutes." Wu Xuerui glanced at the train information, and then at the car dashboard: "At our speed, we still have one hour to reach Xiangcheng."

"It's enough. We'll catch them in Xiangcheng." Song He said slowly: "There are two to four police officers on a train, which is obviously insufficient, so we need the assistance of the Xiangcheng police."

"There are three human traffickers, and the space in the train compartment is narrow, so it's difficult to do it, and too many people will easily cause alertness, so the number of people involved should not be too many." Wu Xuerui thought for a while and said, "Plainclothes police officers need to be deployed in advance, and we will act together when the time is right. "

"Well, this arrangement is in place." Song He nodded and looked at Wu Xuerui: "But there is still one problem."

Wu Xuerui understood instantly: "Is there a problem with cross-city law enforcement?"

"That's right." Song He pointed to the phone in Wu Xuerui's hand: "This requires your master to come forward."

Wu Xuerui also knew that she couldn't handle this matter, so she simply called Zhao Congjun.

And Zhao Congjun is also very bachelor, so he called Qin Yuanzheng, and he communicated with the Xiangcheng police after a while.Then he gave Wu Xuerui his name and phone number, saying that this was his senior brother and senior, and he would come forward to assist Song He and Wu Xuerui.

When Song He saw it, he couldn't help being taken aback. The image of a burly police officer with a Chinese character face came to mind, and he couldn't help saying to himself:
"Zhang Shiyang? This world is so small."
