Chapter 599: All Kidnappers Captured

So soon?

The master and disciple exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of disbelief in their eyes.

Lu Zhongxin suddenly jerked the steering wheel; the vehicle turned swiftly and sped toward a fork in the road not far ahead.

Before long, they saw Yu Dazhang's off-road vehicle from a distance.

What struck them as strange was that the vehicle ahead was not moving fast, not at all as if it were fleeing by car.

At this moment, the fork in the road ahead of the off-road vehicle had already been blocked by police vehicles.

"What exactly are they trying to do?" Lu Zhongxin said, looking at the off-road vehicle:

"Why choose such a small road easily blocked at both ends? By all rights, they should have scouted the area beforehand."

Yu Dazhang, sitting in the passenger seat, was also gazing at his own off-road vehicle.

"Because they never intended to run."

He answered instinctively:

"Abandon the car to save the general; only this way can the money be safely taken away."

After a pause, Yu Dazhang sighed helplessly:

"If I'm not mistaken, the gold on the off-road vehicle has already been transferred."

"And there's only one person left in the car; otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to lure the police here."

This was also part of their plan... Yu Dazhang muttered to himself.

The last person to escape must have promised them something, which is why they were willing to carry out this plan without hesitation.

Wu Rui and Yu Chong had been captured for some time; on-site interrogation had been underway for over half an hour, yet no valuable information had come through.

This indicated that the officers in charge of the interrogation had not broken the two men's silence.

Yu Dazhang did not believe kidnappers would show any loyalty; there must have been some kind of exchange of interests, which is why they kept their mouths shut.

Soon, the off-road vehicle was surrounded front and back by the police and blocked in the middle of the road.

The officers of the First Team quickly surrounded the car.

"Cut the engine!"

"Take your hands off the steering wheel!"

As the car door was pulled open, an officer dragged the person in the driver's seat out.

Qi Jiandong!

At this moment, Yu Dazhang also held his service pistol with both hands and walked around the car.

As he had deduced, Tan Mou was gone.

"Where's the other person?" Lu Zhongxin asked, staring at Qi Jiandong.

"I don't know," Qi Jiandong replied, his eyes wide:

"It's just me."

Quite defiant... Yu Dazhang suddenly felt that Qi Jiandong had a hint of the spirit of sacrificing oneself for a cause.

He had thrown caution to the wind.

These three captured men saying nothing was certainly not for the sake of their accomplices; the only possibility was to protect the ransom.

What kind of plan could make them make such a huge sacrifice?

Once they were inside, even if the ransom could be protected, it would be meaningless; prison is not a place where one can squander money or indulge in high consumption.

If he couldn't figure it out now, he would just stop thinking about it for the time being.

Yu Dazhang holstered his service pistol and opened the trunk of the off-road vehicle.

All four bags of gold were gone.

This made things easier... Seeing the gold was gone, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Tan Mou left with the gold, he couldn't escape.

"Captain Wei, seal off all entrances and exits of that village nearby."

Yu Dazhang said quickly:

"Also apply for coordination with the city's Sky Net system to check nearby road surveillance and see if, during our pursuit, any motorcycle took a small road onto the main highway."

Carrying 168 jin of gold along that one-meter-wide rural dirt road; without a doubt, the best means of transportation would definitely be a motorcycle.

Why couldn't it be a bicycle?

Unless Tan Mou had lost his mind and chose to suffer needlessly.

Whether in terms of load-bearing capacity or maneuverability, a motorcycle is far superior to a bicycle.

Any normal person would know how to choose.

Is it possible they used no vehicle at all and fled on foot?

Yu Dazhang did not even consider this possibility.

That was 168 jin of gold; even carrying it on his back would be difficult for him, let alone for an ordinary person.

Since it was determined that Tan Mou fled on a motorcycle, only two possibilities remained:

1. After Tan Mou rode the motorcycle into the village, he immediately escaped via another road on the other side of the village.

This possibility was very low.
