The large truck was what we commonly referred to as the "Front Four, Rear Eight." It wasn't particularly big, but as it swerved into our lane, we had no choice but to slow down; otherwise, we would crash directly into the side of this "Front Four, Rear Eight." At that moment, we realized that this truck was anything but ordinary. Even someone who didn't drive could tell that this "Front Four, Rear Eight" was clearly targeting us.
Thinking of this, I quickly used the intercom to contact the police officer in the car with the female doctor: "There’s an unusual 'Front Four, Rear Eight' behind us. The front vehicle should be cautious and pull over if necessary. We are currently blocked by this 'Front Four, Rear Eight' and can't see what's ahead. Please report back immediately!"
Soon after, a voice came through from the other side: "Received, received. However, we cannot slow down; this 'Front Four, Rear Eight' is right behind us and shows no signs of slowing down. If we stop, it will definitely crash into us. We can't stop now."
Hearing their response made my heart sink. It was clear that this vehicle posed a serious threat—there was no doubt about it. Realizing this, I immediately activated the siren and shouted through the loudspeaker: "The 'Front Four, Rear Eight' ahead! Pull over to the side of the road! Pull over for inspection!"
As soon as the siren sounded, other vehicles on the road moved aside. Yet this particular truck showed no signs of changing course; it continued to tail closely behind the doctor's SUV. I knew this vehicle wouldn't stop—could it really be orchestrated by Guo Guoqing?
Was Guo Guoqing so precise that he could predict when we would take him away? Considering the timing, it seemed too accurate. It was possible that there was a mole within our ranks who informed Guo Guoqing about our movements. Of course, it could also be that Guo Guoqing had deliberately set this up to provoke Dezi.
With this thought in mind, I quickly spoke into the intercom: "The front vehicle needs to shake off the pursuit of the 'Front Four, Rear Eight' as quickly as possible!"
At the same time, I dialed Dezi's number without further explanation and asked directly: "Dezi, what happened before you contacted Guo Guoqing? Did he say anything provocative to anger you? Any details you have are crucial—it concerns whether there's a mole in our Police Department!"
Although Dezi didn't know what was happening, he sensed my urgency and replied immediately: "When I went to the interrogation room to question him, I initially didn't intend to get physical."
"But before I could even ask him anything, he fired off a few questions at me. After hearing those questions, I was completely enraged and couldn't suppress my anger any longer—I ended up hitting Guo Guoqing!" Dezi continued: "What’s going on? Is there a mole in our Police Department?"
At that moment, I didn't have time to explain things to Dezi; I needed to focus on one thing. If there was indeed a mole in our Police Department, then whoever was in Guo Guoqing's vehicle would be highly suspicious because only then could Guo Guoqing escape. But if Guo Guoqing had deliberately provoked Dezi, it meant everything was part of his plan.
"What exactly did Guo Guoqing say to you?" I pressed on.
Dezi replied: "When I first entered the interrogation room and hadn’t even spoken yet, Guo Guoqing asked me some tricky questions. He said something like ‘Aren't those two girls you’re with already being taken advantage of? I've arranged for many people to take care of them. Just looking at their figures makes me want them—they're truly stunning!’"
At this point, Dezi's anger flared: "Hearing that made my blood boil. So I locked the door and beat up Guo Guoqing hoping to get some useful information out of him; you all know what happened next."
"We'll talk later!" I hurriedly hung up the phone.
Analyzing the current situation, it was clear that Guo Guoqing had deliberately provoked Dezi. After two days of interaction, Guo Guoqing knew that Dezi was the easiest to anger, so when he returned, he wouldn't choose me or Yuzelin, because he understood that if he said something like this, our reactions would be entirely different.
In our line of work as criminal investigators, we share a common trait: we must worry about things that have not yet happened, but never regret things that have already occurred. This applied to Juan Juan and Mary; while at the Heavenly Palace Bathhouse, I was constantly concerned about what might happen to them. However, once they were safely rescued, I would not lose my judgment over the incident.
To be a good investigator means never allowing your emotions to lead you astray, as this can easily trap you in your own pitfalls. Dezi, being a member of the armed police, clearly could not match me or Yuzelin in this regard. Guo Guoqing knew how to speak in a way that would infuriate Dezi.
Even if Dezi did not get angry from those words, Guo Guoqing would surely say something even more malicious to provoke Yan Junde into attacking him. In such a case, if he sustained even a minor injury, Guo Guoqing would have the right to seek medical attention and go to the hospital. The nearest hospital to the Police Department was People's Hospital, and Guo Guoqing had undoubtedly arranged everything during the short thirty-minute drive. Therefore, the Front Four, Rear Eight knew that Guo Guoqing would come out today and had been waiting on the road. This meant that the accomplice was likely observing us near the Police Department!
The voice from the walkie-talkie came through again; it was Xiao Zhang from the SUV at the Police Department saying, "We’ve shaken off the Front Four, Rear Eight. What’s your situation? What’s your situation?"
Hearing that they had managed to escape brought me some relief. I replied, "Gather at People's Hospital; remember to be cautious of road conditions. We’ll catch up soon." Turning to those beside me, I instructed, "Note down this license plate number; we don’t have time to deal with it now. Let the rest of the Police Department handle it!"
Just as that person nodded in agreement, we heard another voice on the walkie-talkie: "Not good, Captain Shao! We’ve lost the Front Four, Rear Eight behind us, but another Front Four, Rear Eight has appeared from the left lane and is heading straight for us! We have to turn right; otherwise, we’ll be smashed to bits!"
Then I heard several voices shouting from inside the SUV.
A jolt of alarm shot through me; it felt like a stone that had fallen suddenly rose back into my chest. I rubbed my temples and analyzed our current predicament. The first Front Four, Rear Eight had cut in from the side lane and blocked our path without us knowing what had happened ahead. Now, the second Front Four, Rear Eight was forcing the SUV in front of us to change direction. If this continued, there would certainly be more Front Four, Rear Eight vehicles! Guo Guoqing intended to use them to alter the SUV's route!
If that were true, this SUV would follow a path pre-designed by Guo Guoqing. As for where it would lead us now remained unclear. However, I knew one thing: if the distance between us and the SUV continued to grow, our walkie-talkies would become useless and we might lose contact altogether.
Realizing this made it clear that if we didn’t catch up with this SUV quickly, it could very well be our last communication. I immediately told the investigator driving: "Forget about speeding; get past this Front Four, Rear Eight as fast as you can and catch up with that SUV!"
The investigator nodded and shifted gears before flooring the accelerator, swiftly maneuvering past the Front Four, Rear Eight. Just as everyone celebrated this small victory, we suddenly noticed two more Front Four, Rear Eight vehicles emerging from both sides of the intersection. Before we could react, these two vehicles disregarded traffic safety and squeezed in on either side of ours.
Now only one gap remained ahead for us. I realized these Front Four and Rear Eight vehicles were meant to force us to stop. But if we stopped now, we would completely lose contact with that SUV. I shouted urgently: "Step on it! Charge straight through!"
Hearing my command, the investigator pressed down on the accelerator again. Just then, another Front Four, Rear Eight appeared from our left front and moved directly in front of us. I was taken aback; these four Front Four and Rear Eight vehicles were forming a rectangle around us—trapping our vehicle within!
"Quick, speed up and charge out!" I shouted.
This was our only hope. If we wanted to escape, we had to move before the front vehicle of the Front Four, Rear Eight completely surrounded us. But I overlooked one thing: the police officer sitting next to me was not Yan Junde; he did not possess Yan Junde's exceptional driving skills.
Moreover, this officer was timid. At the moment we were about to break through, he chose to slow down instead. This hesitation allowed the front vehicle of the Front Four, Rear Eight to close in on us completely. At that moment, it felt as if we had fallen into a deep valley; there was no way out in any direction, only the imposing bodies of the Front Four, Rear Eight surrounding us.
The four vehicles of the Front Four, Rear Eight were positioned around us—front, back, left, and right—maintaining their speed. We had no choice but to follow their predetermined route; otherwise, if we made even a slight mistake, we could easily be crushed into a pulp by these four vehicles.
The officer driving glanced at me and stammered, "I-I..."
But I couldn't blame him; after all, not everyone is like Dezi. I couldn't force him to act differently. Besides, under the threat of death, choosing to brake was a wise decision. If we accidentally crashed into the rear of one of the Front Four, Rear Eight vehicles, we would surely lose control, and the vehicles behind us would smash us to pieces.
I waved my hand to signal him not to blame himself while quickly using the intercom to ask, "What's the situation with the front vehicle? What's the situation with the front vehicle? Please respond!"
However, at that moment, there was no sound coming from the intercom. This meant that either the front vehicle was too far away or it had already been taken over by Guo Guoqing.
