Chapter 181 Who Are You?

“.”

In the office, Lao Zhao brewed a pot of tea and poured it, but did not drink it.

Usually, he rarely came to the store in the morning.

However, at around six o'clock, he received a call from Ning Zhou.

“I have been exposed. If nothing unexpected happens, the pursuers will come to you around nine o'clock.”

Last season, Lao Zhao appeared in the show, at least in the local area, which caused some heated discussions.

This season, he once thought whether Ning Zhou would come again.

If he really saw him, he would naturally continue to cooperate.

Knowing that the pursuers were coming, Lao Zhao specially changed his clothes and then had his hair cut early.

There must be a sense of ceremony, respecting the other party.

All along, Ning Zhou and him were in contact through WeChat, and the content in the mobile phone was deleted.

In this way, the tea was hot and cold, cold and hot again, and an hour passed like this.

At 9:40, footsteps were heard.

“Here we come!”

Lao Zhao stood up with a smile on his face.

“Welcome, teachers”

The people who came were Huang Lei, Xiaobai and Bai Lu.

"Boss Zhao, we meet again."

Both parties were smiling, but their smiles looked a little wrong.

"It seems that Boss Zhao knew we were coming."

After a brief greeting, Xiaobai looked up at the teacups on the table.

"So, do you have anything to say to us?"

"Sit down first."

Old Zhao returned to his seat and refilled the tea.

After drinking a cup of tea, Old Zhao said slowly.

"Before, Ning Zhou was with me, and I arranged a place for him to stay.

A villa on the outskirts of the city, opened by my friend.

Stayed there for one night.

It is still summer vacation, and the villa has good business. Many residents in the surrounding area will bring their families here.

So, we returned to the city. I only found out about what happened last night this morning.

I don't know where Ning Zhou is now!"

In Douyin, you can see that Zhao Lushi was sick and hospitalized in Fengcheng.

Because many viewers don't know the truth, they have been criticizing the program team for not caring about the comfort of the contestants.

For this reason, the program team made a statement.

"In fact, not seeing the staff in the camera does not mean they are not there.

Whether it is the pursuer or the fugitive, there is a team of people following to ensure that there will be no accidents.

Miss Zhao Lushi is indeed sick.

Last night, when she was resting, the program team had already contacted her.

At that time, Zhao Lushi said that the problem was not serious and she would be fine after a rest.

She declined our request to go to the hospital.

The fever did not last all night, but started at about one o'clock.

Please rest assured that we have been paying attention to the safety of the contestants."

The Internet was in a commotion, and it was not surprising that Lao Zhao explained it so bluntly.

While still on the road, Huang Lei received a call from the headquarters.

The surveillance from the hospital was sent over.

Ning Zhou, Zhao Lushi, and Zeng Li arrived at the hospital at around two o'clock in the morning.

The treatment time was similar to the clues, leaving at around six o'clock.

But they did not leave immediately, but ate something at the breakfast shop opposite.

During this period, Mr. He and others did not show up.

The relevant license plate could not be found on the highway, and other surveillance was being checked.

Either Ning Zhou and others left from the national highway, or they are still hiding in Fengcheng.

"Boss Zhao is so cooperative, it's great!"

Teacher Huang picked up the teacup.

"Hey, do you remember how many cars they drove when they came? Where is Teacher He?"

It's useless to beat around the bush. Both sides know that Lao Zhao is on the side of the fugitives.

It's unlikely to change his position.

The task given by Huang Shengli is also very simple, to get as many intelligence clues as possible, regardless of whether they are true or false.

"I'm really not sure about this!"

Lao Zhao continued to refill his tea.

"I received a call at around 1:00 in the middle of the night, saying that it was near the pedestrian street.

Then we arranged to go to the villa, and when we left the next afternoon, I also found a car.

Teacher He was also there, a total of seven people!"

Xiao Bai moved his butt, which was basically consistent with the guesses made by the few people when they came.

It's just that the other party answered so honestly, which was a bit unaccustomed.

"Then, in your opinion, is Ning Zhou still in Fengcheng?"

Lao Zhao paused with the teacup.

"It's hard for me to say.

You are the pursuers, so you should make your own judgment.

If it were me, I might not leave.

After all, Miss Zhao is sick, and it's impossible for her to recover immediately in a few hours.

Even if I leave Fengcheng, I don't think I will go too far, as long as I find a place you can't find for the time being."

Huang Lei smiled: "Boss Zhao, it sounds like you have a lot of experience."

"Hehehe, I'm a loyal fan of the show."

Did Lao Zhao tell the truth?

Of course he did.

It's just that there is a mixture of truth and falsehood in this truth.

After all, the program team has spoken out to appease the audience, and Ning Zhou's affairs in Fengcheng cannot be concealed at all. This is also the main reason why Lao Zhao can cooperate so well.

You know, last time in this office, Wei Cheng was fooled around.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai suddenly stood up and pointed at the invisible door.

"Brother Zhao, is it convenient for you to go in and take a look?"

"Hahahaha, you still don't trust me!"

Lao Zhao smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Xiaobai didn't hesitate and opened the door. Unfortunately, there was no one hiding inside except for some goods.

In the next ten minutes or so, Lao Zhao was sometimes very straightforward, and sometimes he was careless.

What's frustrating is that there's nothing you can do about him.

Seeing that he couldn't find any more clues, Huang Lei got Huang Shengli's order to evacuate first.

Lao Zhao even sent him downstairs politely and said that if Ning Zhou comes again, he will definitely report it!

Huang Lei just smiled at this.

When I arrived at the parking lot, I didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, I found Lao Zhao's car and installed the locator.

Although I'm not sure whether Ning Zhou will come back, there's no problem in being defensive.

On the other side, other team members found some videos of vehicles passing by. They couldn't determine where they came from, but they were sure that the vehicles left the city at 6:53 in the morning.

If you want to check a car on the national highway, it is quite time-consuming and laborious, but you have to do it.

As for the other team members, they are scattered in Fengcheng.

Some go to the hospital, some to the villa, and some monitor Lao Zhao's residence and make inquiries.

In fact, some team members feel that these things are useless efforts.

After being recognized, how could he still stay here? He just ran away, just messing around.

However, I just thought about it in my heart and did not express it.

Everyone is working, but what do you mean by playing devil’s advocate and dampening enthusiasm?

In this way, time passed slowly, and it was about nine o'clock in the evening.

"Everyone, go to Wuyuan immediately and find traces of Ning Zhou."

"where?"

"A construction site."

Time returns to early morning.

There is nothing wrong with the doctor's diagnosis, and there should be nothing wrong with the treatment.

Ms. Zhao, who had been half asleep for two hours, was now able to sit up. Her complexion had improved visibly, and her fever had completely subsided.

"Are we in danger?"

Ning Zhou didn't take it seriously.

"It's just been discovered. Is there any danger? Teacher He and the others have been in the magic city for so long. It's not an appropriate example."

Miss Zhao was amused: "Is it time to run?"

"right!"

After hanging up the water and waving goodbye to the nurse, he went outside to wake Zeng Li up.

I guessed that the pursuer was on the road, but it was impossible to arrive in a short time, so it didn't affect breakfast.

So at the same time, Huang Zitao, who had not had much rest, also went out.

He originally wanted to rush to Wuyuan overnight, but Ning Zhou denied it.

If you go there too early, you will just wait there, which is not as safe as Fengcheng.

Huang Zitao was very excited to perform such an important task for the first time. He couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, tossing and turning.

Finally, after waiting for Ning Zhou's call, he quickly stood up.

"Be careful not to be exposed, keep a low profile!"

"Don't worry, the windows are not open!"

The task is quite simple.

We drove from the highway to Wuyuan and picked up the three of them back, that's all.

Set off at eight o'clock and arrived in the city at nine o'clock.

After waiting for half an hour, I got a call and arranged a meeting place.

However, what happened next was a little different from what he thought.

"You go back first!"

Ning Zhou did not go with him, but wanted to attract the pursuer's attention.

There is nothing wrong with this.

Huang Zitao also said that I could give it a try, but Ning Zhou said no.

"You still need to study!"

Sent directly in one sentence.

And Miss Zhao felt even more sorry. If she hadn't been ill, there would have been no follow-up.

In response, Ning Zhou just patted her head and smiled.

After parting ways with his teammates, he returned to the car again.

The current situation is quite clear.

A few minutes ago, Lao Zhao received a message. Huang Lei and the others had already visited him and asked a lot of questions.

Why go back.

Strictly speaking, as long as there are no other problems, there is not much difference between hiding in Fengcheng and hiding in other places.

There is also a hint of selfishness.

Ms. Zhao has not fully recovered yet and is about to embark on a long journey, which may be too much for her body.

Since the difference is not big, there is no need to mess around.

The reason why the three of us came together was for insurance.

By now, the first step of transfer has been completed.

The next step, of course, is to expose yourself.

Ning Zhou also asked himself, if he were the pursuer, how would he choose in such a situation.

There is no answer.

Because there are some things that are of no use to you in your imagination. Only when they actually happen will you know how to decide.

It is correct to assume that the pursuers are conducting a blanket manhunt in Fengcheng.

You have to be smart when exposing yourself.

After all, he is Ning Zhou, so he cannot be so careless. If he goes to a shopping mall to buy something and gets recognized, he can only do it in the last season.

Be smarter!

So, he lay dormant.

"What's going on?"

After receiving the notification from the headquarters, all the pursuit team members rushed to Wuyuan.

Ling Gengxin and Hou Minghao happened to be near the highway when they set off, and arrived twenty minutes earlier than the other personnel.

“This is a shopping mall that is being built. The locals call it the twin towers. The taller one is seven floors and nearly 60 meters long, and the shorter one is five floors and more than 30 meters tall.

The two buildings are thirty-six meters apart and connected by a total of three passages. "

At this time, the pursuers were in small groups, hiding in the shadows opposite the construction site.

In the last season, when Ning Zhou and others were hiding at the construction site, they never forgot to find someone to look out for the situation. Huang Lei and others did not dare to park too close. It would be a big deal if they alerted the enemy.

"everyone"

Niu Dali's voice came from the headphones.

"This construction site is not under construction at the moment, so some nearby residents will use it as a free parking lot.

Just now I received a clue that someone saw the Tiguan parked inside, probably around seven o'clock.

It's not clear when they went in.

According to the information on the drawings, the construction site covers an area of ​​more than 40,000 square meters, with a total of five normal exits.

The surrounding walls are more than three meters high, and it is uncertain whether there are any gaps.

It can be determined for the time being that Ning Zhou and others are somewhere in the two buildings.

The five entrances are handed over to"

Niu Dali quickly assigned everyone's tasks. If it weren't for the addition of many team members, it would be really difficult.

And Lewis was alone with Liu Jincheng.

They had two drones in their hands, which would not take off for the time being because the sound was too loud. It would be in time to fly after the chase started.

Before communicating with the team members, Niu Dali asked Huang Shengli.

"Should we collect the team members' mobile phones first and use the radio to communicate."

Huang Shengli just glanced at him: "Why do we collect them?"

"Because."

After saying these two words, Niu Dali reacted.

There are spies in the team, but it is just their guess. Maybe, this option does not exist at all.

If the action of collecting mobile phones is really implemented, I believe the team members can guess why, and there will definitely be mutual suspicion at that time.

If they don't collect them,

they will be empty-handed, or something else will happen.

Naturally, it proves that the guess is correct, and the target can also be found through the mobile phone, so it should not be collected.

"Action!"

After the task distribution was completed and everyone confirmed it, more than 20 people sneaked into the construction site.

Xiaobai and Hou Minghao were in a group. The two followed the instructions and went to the left side of the building, where the Tiguan was located.

There were indeed many vehicles parked on the construction site, and it took some effort to find them.

I touched the hood and it was cold, which meant that the other party did not move the vehicle during the visit.

Even if it is the headquarters, it is not certain whether the person is inside, so search first.

"The elevator cannot be used."

"No light can be seen for the time being."

"The environment inside is complicated, pay attention to your feet."

"Everyone, you must walk lightly to avoid alarming the fugitives."

More than a dozen people were divided into two teams and entered the two buildings.

Moreover, all three passages will be guarded by special personnel, so there are not many forces that can really search.

The whole building not only has a complete structure, but even the sky and the earth are ready.

However, the few windows only give too little light.

Even after adapting to the inside, you can only see vague shadows.

Under the guidance of the headquarters, Huang Lei found the location of the switch.

He is not suitable for pursuit, and he can just guard the switch. Maybe he will encounter unexpected gains.

Niu Dali stared at the players' shots on the screen, and his heart was beating.

Although he knew that Ning Zhou was hiding here, he would most likely be upstairs.

But what if it happened? He must search up one floor at a time.

It was still early, and the other party was most likely not asleep yet.

There may be various accidents during the period.

However, as long as the approximate location of the fugitive can be locked, he must take down all the other parties with heads.

As for the pursuers, they were even more nervous.

Usually, they just chased from behind, and there was no chasing scene for the four people they caught.

Thinking that the fugitive was hiding in a corner of the building, adrenaline surged.

No one dared to talk to each other, just reminding their feet with actions or arranging other tasks.

In this way, more than 20 minutes passed.

The search of the first floor on both sides was completed.

No one was seen, and no special sound was heard.

This was not surprising, as the compartments of the shop were already formed, and the upstairs and downstairs were quite far apart.

If you hide in a corner and talk quietly, it is normal that the pursuers on the first floor cannot hear you.

Moreover, the information given by the headquarters includes some sights and experiences.

For example, during the day, there will be children coming to play, and at night, there will be some adults coming to seek excitement.

If you hide by yourself, you must find a hidden corner to stay.

"Go up to the second floor!"

Xiaobai is the captain of the high-rise building. After issuing the task, he quietly walked up the handrail.

"Clang clang clang"

When he was halfway there, a sound like a beverage bottle falling to the ground came from not far behind him.

"It's over!"

Two words popped up in Xiaobai's mind.

The sound of the beverage bottle was quite piercing in the empty mall.

Not only him, but the others stood still and dared not move at all.

As the instigator, Guo Qilin froze instantly.

He really didn't mean to do it. The stairs were too dark and he couldn't see clearly. He stepped on the can lying there, and then he slipped and the can fell down the stairs.

"Calm down, everyone calm down!"

Huang Shengli at the headquarters couldn't sit still.

"Listen carefully for any other movement."

Before he finished speaking, footsteps were heard from the third or fourth floor.

At first it was very slight, then it turned into bang bang bang, and obviously, they started running.

"Hurry up, go upstairs, Ling Gengxin, come over to support, Teacher Huang turn on the lights!"

Pah pa pa!

In an instant, the whole building became much brighter.

"It seems to be the fourth floor."

Xiaobai stood on the stairs and looked up.

"Got it!"

Ling Gengxin and others from the next building quickly passed through the connecting passage and came to support.

"Li Zhiting, Wuhan Steel, Hou Minghao, you three guard the safe passage!

Guo Qilin, go to the right.

Xiaobai, go left."

The sound of footsteps could be heard clearly now, running upstairs.

After the four chasing people rushed to the seventh floor, they didn't even bother to breathe.

"There is no other way here, everyone keep your eyes open."

After Xiaobai yelled, he held the gun in both hands, followed the light on the camera, and carefully entered the store on the side.

Teacher Huang only turned on a few big lights. The lights in each store had not been installed yet. Even if they were installed, he would not be able to turn them on.

Fire exits are guarded, either hidden in the store or in the bathroom.

"Those who were shot, don't worry about that, just shout, do you understand!"

"receive!"

When you look at the mall from the outside, it looks round.

Inside, it looks like a twist, with small circles and small circles all connected to each other.

The top floor has fewer stores.

Mainly there are cinemas and gyms.

The search was very fast for an empty store, and it didn't take long before only the big ones on the left and right were left.

"I've seen the toilet, he must be hiding in it!"

Like halfway through the movie, the pursuit team members were standing on the left and right sides of the door, all holding guns in their hands.

"Ning Zhou, why don't you surrender? Our people are here.

Although you have guns in your hands, there is no need to make it so ugly.

We are each armed with a gun, more than twenty people! "

Xiaobai's so-called persuasion to surrender was just a whim, and he didn't expect any feedback at all.

"Wait a moment!"

Unexpectedly, when he was about to make a gesture for everyone to charge together, a voice came from inside.

"I didn't commit a crime, don't shoot, I just took two hundred dollars.

Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'll be right out."

Amid the incomprehensible expressions of everyone, a figure walked out with his hands raised in the air and kept saying not to shoot.

When the light shone on the other person's face, Xiaobai was stunned.

It's a completely unfamiliar face

"Liu Jincheng, plane!"

Huang Shengli shouted.

"The car, the car started moving and rushed out of the gate!"

Song Yi's frightened voice came from the earphones.

"Victory, what should we do?"

Xiaobai is a little confused!

"Teacher Huang, Lewis, Liu Jincheng, Song Tie, you get in the car and chase.

The other half of the group went next door to continue the search, and the gatekeeper reported the situation at any time. "

Huang Shengli was actually a little confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

"So, who are you anyway?"

Xiaobai walked up and asked.

Although the other members were curious, they still followed Huang Shengli's instructions and walked into the playground to search.

"Who are you anyway? Why are you here?"

Xiaobai asked again.

"me."

Perhaps because he was frightened, the man became awkward when speaking.

"Don't worry, this is a toy gun, we are just filming a show."

With that said, Xiaobai fired a shot into the ground, and the red paint was quite conspicuous.

“It’s fake”

The other party let out a sigh of relief.

"No, what's going on?"

"I should ask you," Xiaobai was speechless: "Why are you running?"

"I"

The man was about fifty years old, and he was dressed quite ordinary, with traces of decoration on his clothes.

"I work on a construction site.

It’s not easy to make money, so I’m not willing to rent a house. Isn’t this place empty, so I just take my bedding and sleep in front of it at night.”

He pointed to a store not far away.

"At around seven o'clock in the evening, a man came up. After seeing me, he also asked about work.

Then he gave me two hundred yuan and asked me to do something for him.

After hearing the noise, I ran from the third floor to the roof and made as much noise as possible.

I can’t understand what they say about filming a show and being chased! "

"Did you see him alone?" Xiaobai continued to ask.

"That's right!"

The man looked up.

"He asked me to call a coworker again, it was also 200 yuan, and he was in the building next door."

Before I could ask any more questions, there was movement from the next door. Someone was spotted and they were rushing upstairs!

"Is this an artificial doorbell? What's going on?"

Little White's head is dizzy. Is this a high-end game played by Ning Zhou? He has already guessed that we will come.

But where are they hiding? One car can't carry everyone.

He was about to continue asking questions when the voice of the team members downstairs came from the headset.

"A hole was found behind the building."

I still don’t know what’s going on, but a new clue has come.

"A hole, what hole?"

"It's just a hole about half a man's height. It didn't seem to exist before.

Will others escape from here?"
