The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

Chapter 74 Explosion, Oscar-worthy Crying Scene

"Based on my analysis of this group of terrorists' past practices, I suspect they are most likely hiding in some abandoned factories or unfinished buildings."

Chan Ka-kui pulled out a map from the table, which had already marked known abandoned factories and unfinished buildings based on information provided by government departments such as the Housing Department and the Trade and Industry Department.

These foreigners were unfamiliar with Hong Kong Island and faced a manhunt by the entire island's police force, so they could only hide in these deserted buildings and wait for an opportunity to launch a terrorist attack.

Looking at the markings on the map, Lu Ming asked, "Where are you planning to start your investigation?" He wasn't sure if these foreigners were hiding in the Central district.

"Let's start the investigation in Suzuma Street!"

Chan Ka-kui glanced at the surrounding Serious Crimes Unit officers and said, "We'll work in groups of three, checking each one one by one. If we find any suspicious activity, we'll report it immediately. No rash actions are allowed."

He himself is prone to impulsiveness when facing criminals, but he does not want his teammates to lose their lives because of impulsiveness.

Lu Ming said with a smile, "Don't worry, we don't want to receive the British's resettlement allowance so soon."

Everyone smiled knowingly after hearing this.

Chen Jiaju smiled as well, "Ah Ming, you just got back from your leave, so don't rush to go out on fieldwork. Just stay at the police station to oversee the overall situation and support us. Also, call us anytime there is an emergency."

Lu Ming nodded in agreement. He didn't want to go out and waste his time when the clues were unclear.

It's a real pity that when the Political Department and the Major Crimes Unit of the General Administration of Sport tracked down this group of terrorists and went to arrest them, they came up empty-handed and only found the murdered undercover agent at the scene.

Whenever a gunfight breaks out between them, and one or two terrorists bleed a little, he can use the tracking ability of his bloodhounds to trace and capture the entire group of terrorists.

However, as far as he knew, the ultimate target of this group of terrorists was Adam Smith School.

According to Zhou Xingxing, the Political Department and the Major Crimes Unit of the General Administration of Customs have already sent undercover agents into the school to lie in wait for these foreigners to walk into their trap.

Of course, he wasn't sure if the terrorists would actually attack the school.

It's possible that the butterfly effect might cause terrorists to change their targets.

However, the terrorists' goal was to get the British government to release their leader, so their first instinct was to take hostages rather than go on a killing spree, giving them ample time to rescue people.

Jingle Bell!

Just as the Major Crimes Unit went out on patrol, the emergency phone rang suddenly.

"Hello, this is the Central Police Station's Major Crimes Unit."

"What? An explosion? A military landmine?"

The police officers who received the report were taken aback. Their major crimes unit had dealt with many vicious criminals, including drug lords who used AK-47s and bomb thugs who used homemade explosives, but they had never seen criminals using high-tech, standard-issue landmines like military landmines.

Lu Ming, who was sitting at his workstation wiping his sidearm, looked up when he heard this.

"Don't disturb the scene. Our Major Crimes Unit is on its way."

The dispatcher hung up the phone and immediately reported to Lu Ming: "Lu sir, someone just called to say that there was a serious explosion on the film set. The explosion was caused by an American military landmine, and the perpetrator is suspected to be a terrorist we are currently investigating."

"On set?"

Lu Ming frowned. Could it really be the butterfly effect that caused the terrorists to change their attack targets?

"Is there a high-profile celebrity or other influential person on set?"

The ultimate goal of this group of terrorists was to carry out a high-profile kidnapping to coerce the British government into releasing the hostage, which is why they targeted Adam Smith School, whose students are all children of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen.

If the target is changed, it means that the new target also has a huge influence in society, making the terrorists believe that they can force the British government to release the person.

"The person attacked was martial arts superstar Lung Wai."

"Dragon's Might?"

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and memories of Long Wei slowly surfaced in his mind.

His expression was strange. Wasn't Lung Wai the super martial arts star from "High Risk"?

Did they come together like this?

He rubbed his temples, pondering the matter.

In terms of brutality, the doctor and his gang of international kidnappers in "High Risk" are in no way inferior to the international terrorists who have fled to Hong Kong. They are armed with all kinds of American military equipment, which are extremely powerful, and they are very good at planting bombs, making them incredibly destructive.

Thinking about this, Lu Ming thought to himself: Hong Kong Island truly lives up to its reputation as an international metropolis; all sorts of international gangs flock here.

"Call Inspector Chan and have him bring the two of them over to check."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming decisively instructed the dispatcher to call Chen Jiaju.

Currently, he is the only one guarding the Major Crimes Unit, and the police force is severely insufficient, so they can only temporarily send Chan Ka-kui, who is patrolling outside, to help.

"I'll go check it out. Contact me if there's any situation at the department."

He loaded the bullets one by one into the magazine, then put his pistol into its holster, gave the dispatcher a briefing, and went downstairs to the film set to check on the situation.

He needed to go to the scene to personally verify the situation: whether the doctor and his gang of international thugs wanted to eliminate Long Wei as a threat before the robbery, or whether the international terrorists had accidentally chosen Long Wei as their target.

On set!

"Dad, someone's trying to kill me, sob sob~"

Longwei had just experienced a terrifying explosion, leaving him with psychological trauma. He clung to his father for comfort. His life had always been smooth sailing, and this was the first time he had come so close to death.

Longwei's father patted Longwei on the back and comforted him, "It's all over now. Don't cry anymore. The reporters are already outside. Be careful they take pictures of you and make you the headline. You'll be so embarrassed then."

"I don't care, people are scared!"

Long Wei acted somewhat childishly, which sent chills down the spines of the other Long Family Martial Arts Masters watching.

When Longwei's father saw his son crying incessantly, he immediately resorted to his trump card: "If Madonna saw you like this, she would never let you into her bed again."

Slurp~

Upon hearing this, Long Wei gasped, sucking back the half-dribbled snot from his nose. He straightened up and said, feigning composure, "How could a grown man like me cry like that? I was just putting on a crying act."

"Do you think my acting was convincing?"

His gaze fell on the martial arts instructors of the Lung Family Martial Arts Team that he had assembled.

"So alike, so alike! Brother, your acting is superb!"

"Brother, just for that crying scene you just did, the whole world owes you an Oscar."

"Skilled in both literature and martial arts, able to cry and fight—brother, how can there be such a perfect actor as you? You are my idol, please give me your autograph!"

The martial arts instructors from the Lung Clan immediately got into character and showered Lung Wai with flattery, which pleased him greatly. He laughed heartily, "You guys have excellent taste; you truly deserve to be the film industry elites I personally selected."

Just then, Li Jie strode in from outside, "Brother, the reporters and police officers have all arrived."

"I'll be right out."

Long Wei wiped his face, erasing all traces of his earlier crying, and strode out with a calm and composed demeanor.
