Chapter 112 – Trap

Rustle, rustle.

Jiang Yuan walked in the corridor of the hotel, with a soft blue patterned carpet under his feet and floor-to-ceiling windows beside him.

There were bookshelves in the corridor, displaying original Guiguzi Xia Shan Yuan blue and white porcelain.

A row of Western oil paintings hung on the wall, revealing flesh, shining with holy light, and with inscriptions.

The view outside the window was immersive and beautiful. Lush green trees, a distant view of the towering Wulongsan, continuous and uninterrupted, and a meticulously crafted garden landscape up close, with layers of mountains.

The most wonderful thing was the hotel's surroundings, a constantly flowing and rushing small river, with the sound of light water, feeling very comfortable.

Jiang Yuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery ahead, thinking about something.

He came here with Captain Huang Qiangming to inspect the on-site layout of the Xin Hongda Hotel. He was both excited and a little nervous.

He didn't know how the opponent would be this time, but he had seen those incomplete corpses and bones, so he could already imagine.

In his heart, he was somewhat afraid that the killer would come here, but he also hoped that the killer would come.

...

Jingye Town is an important passage to Wulongsan because it is close to Wulongsan. There are also many Chinese herbal medicine processing factories here, known as the Chinese herbal medicine processing and distribution center of the Wulongsan area. But after becoming familiar with the surrounding cities of Wulongsan, you will find that every town, county, and city around claims to be the Chinese herbal medicine distribution center.

There are not so many herbalists in Wulongsan.

However, some backpackers specifically rest in Jingye Town to prepare for their upcoming hiking or adventure activities.

The Xin Hongda Hotel is not the best in Jingye Town, but because it keeps dragons, it can do karaoke, play cards, foot baths, massages, baths, and meals...

This hotel is very suitable for staying for a few days, even if it's dark outside, there is no need to go out.

This was explained by Chen Fan, the most frequently visited hotel by the five-member group.

Jiang Yuan stood here, and a scene appeared in his mind. Two drunken people stumbled and walked towards him across the corridor, with dark faces and red necks, followed by three people, two side by side, and the last person walking slowly...

Among the five-member hunting team, Guo and Liu liked gambling, prostitution, smoking, drinking strong alcohol.

In addition, Chen Fan's uncle, Chen Deling, liked to save money and was relatively stingy. Every time they went out to eat, drink, and have fun, he didn't pay much.

There is also the leader of the Hu family in this team, who has a simple hobby, which is hunting. When he comes here, he only eats, rests, exercises, and does nothing extra. It is always him who urges them to enter the mountains.

There is also a person surnamed Wang, who gambles, prostitutes, smokes, drinks, is stingy, and loves hunting.

Everyone's marksmanship is very good.

There are certain differences within the special operations team regarding this hotel.

Some people speculate that the five-member group may have multiple residences, but only trade with Chen Fan here.

Huang Qiangming, who is in charge of the on-site situation in Jingye Town, does not agree with this. He has never liked overestimating the opponent's approach.

Overestimation means high investment. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens frequently, the funds of the criminal investigation team will resist.

Although it is said that these five hunters are indeed very powerful, and the killing methods mentioned in the intelligence report are indeed surprising. But in Huang Qiangming's opinion, the five of them are still ordinary criminals. Their evil deeds in the mountains do not mean that they can transform into spies and be cautious.

It is already meticulous enough to change places from time to time, and even thinking about changing hotels in such a small place like Jingye Town to receive different guests is unnecessary.

After arriving at the Xin Hongda Hotel, Jiang Yuan also agreed with Huang Qiangming's opinion.

Ambushing a hotel and a town are two different concepts.

The latter has a lot of work and great risks.

If the five-member group really did not stay in this Xin Hongda Hotel, then the defense layout would have to be adjusted again. After all, it is not known whether they have a second hiding place.

Jiang Yuan thoroughly inspected the Xin Hongda Hotel. His inspection was not just a simple inspection. Using Sun Jingyi's legacy and his LV2 sketching skills, Jiang Yuan reproduced all the points he had inspected in the form of sketches on paper.

With the hotel's own floor plan, the criminal investigation team can more conveniently arrange and discuss tactics on paper.

It was indeed a serious issue for the criminal investigation team.

In the past, although there were plans and discussions on tactics for arrests, they were mostly based on the success of the arrests.

Except for drug trafficking, most of the arrest tasks, even with a three-to-one or four-to-one manpower ratio, were already redundant requirements for safety.

In reality, not to mention that eighty percent of the suspects were easily captured, even if there were occasional escapes, they were mainly focused on chasing.

For those who actively resist, the criminal investigation team rarely encountered them.

But having a gun is really different.

Weapons like double-barreled shotguns, with the middle finger and index finger pulling the trigger together, can turn the person on the other side of the door into a sieve.Another thing, none of us have any experience dealing with firearms. Even when Huang Qiangming was a police officer, there were already very few firearms on the market.

This is actually the most crucial point.

Experience is the most advantageous for the police when dealing with criminals. From the time a police officer starts their career until they become experienced, they have encountered more criminals than the national football team has encountered balls. And the criminal suspects, especially those who have not undergone prison training, often appear more immature.

The most typical example is in murder cases, where many people think they have designed the perfect murder - those who meticulously plan to kill, especially those who plan to kill someone close to them, have to go through many sleepless nights before they can make up their minds. But most of these cases are solved within 72 hours.

The reason is simple. Experienced police officers can make the suspects nervous just by talking to them. How can their imagined perfect murder be perfectly executed?

If they are nervous when giving a speech at a company annual meeting, unable to freely participate in class activities, then they should consider taking a training course before attempting to commit murder or facing a detective for the first time.

The detectives from the Ningtai County Criminal Police Team are currently lacking a training program similar to CS.

Fortunately, a team of armed police quickly arrived.

The team leader, Captain Zhou Gang, is less than 30 years old and younger than most of the detectives present. He is not tall, but very strong, with muscular arms exposed. Looking at the long and short guns carried by him and his team members, everyone had the urge to call him "dad".

"Don't enter the scene yet, you can go to the hotel in batches to check the terrain," Huang Qiangming, who was familiar with Zhou Gang, said after introducing the situation, and began to discuss the work.

Zhou Gang responded, "Okay."

Huang Qiangming continued, "The criminal suspects don't have strong social connections, they have been living in the mountains for years. However, they spend a lot of money at the hotel every year. I'm worried that the hotel staff might have the urge to leak information."

As the captain of the criminal police team, he has interacted with many people in society and is naturally suspicious.

"Control them all, can we replace them with our own people?" Zhou Gang stood straight like a strong and relaxed steel, giving a direct and firm suggestion.

Forensic expert Jiang Yuan, who was a newcomer, was in close contact with armed police for the first time and felt quite envious.

Which young person doesn't want to carry a gun!

Huang Qiangming pondered and said, "We have already controlled the boss, but there should be familiar waiters. I don't want to arrest them as soon as we enter, it might startle the snake..."

"Let the boss choose the people." Zhou Gang said, "Hmm... persuade him well. Would he dare to get involved in a case with four lives at stake? If the people he chooses cause any problems, he should think about it himself."

This was Zhou Gang's second suggestion after arriving, still firm and resolute. But after thinking for a moment, Huang Qiangming nodded, "That should work..."

The New Hongda Hotel claims to be a four-star hotel, but it is actually just a local hotel. The owner, Luo Xinhong, only has influence in the local area.

He is considered capable in the local area.

A chubby local boss.

After investigating the owner's daily life, it can be concluded that he doesn't have any special relationship with the five suspects led by Wu Longshan, except for being a regular customer who spends a lot of money.

Luo Xinhong has also paid attention to these people and has some suspicions. These people are definitely not ordinary citizens, otherwise, they wouldn't have such extravagant spending.

But he is the hotel owner, so naturally he wouldn't be foolish enough to report his own customers.

Customers spend money, and he is happy about it.

As long as they don't cause trouble in his hotel and do whatever they want outside, it's none of his business.

Luo Xinhong was completely bewildered when he was arrested.

He is a local boss, but he is also a businessman. Especially knowing that if he wants to do long-term business, there are things he can touch and things he cannot touch.

He panicked and wondered about his situation. Would he go to jail?

If he were to spend one or two years in jail, he could reluctantly accept it. His archenemy, Dahai, had been to jail and came out even more powerful.

But if he were to spend twenty years in jail, then it would be over.

If he spends two years in jail and behaves well, he can be released in a little over a year, and he would still have money to use, and his business could barely continue.

But if he were to spend twenty years in jail, then there would be no need to count the time. The hotel would definitely be divided by others, and he would be in jail, facing a situation where he has less money to spend, and he wouldn't even know where his wife and children are.

It is well known that prisons are places where money flows freely, and even a small shop would have expenses of tens of thousands of yuan.

Huang Qiangming didn't say much, and Luo Xinhong was scared.

He nodded at whatever Huang Qiangming said.

He didn't even notice that the armed police had arrived.

Zhou Gang stood with a gun, observing Huang Qiangming negotiate.

Jiang Yuan silently took out a cigarette and distributed them to everyone.

After calming down the boss, Huang Qiangming came over to confirm the arrest plan with Zhou Gang.

He also took a cigarette.

"As for the arrest, my idea is like this. Let's send people into the hotel first, so that we can ensure basic area control...""Next, regarding the specific arrest times, the first time point, I suggest an hour after they enter the hotel, the second time point, during their mealtime. The third time point, wait until they fall asleep."

"I still want to capture all five alive if possible..."

Zhou Gang listened to him, looking at the sketch Jiang Yuan drew on the spot, he gave him a somewhat strange look, then his fingers moved around on the sketch.

"The other party has guns, I can't guarantee capturing them alive." Zhou Gang said.

"Of course, the priority is everyone's safety." Huang Qiangming nodded.

......

What followed was a stakeout.

One day, two days, three days......

On the fifth day.

"Target spotted."

"Target spotted."

"Target spotted."
