A perfect crime? To me, it's full of flaws!

The driver also heard Kou Shi's words and looked to the side. Sure enough, there was a boy in a school uniform running in the field.

"Hey? Do you two know that kid? Should we stop the car and say hello?"

As he spoke, he began to release the accelerator, preparing to slow down and stop.

"Need not!"

Qi Feng immediately stopped him, knowing that stopping the car now would cause trouble.

"Driver, please just drive straight there, don't stop."

As he spoke, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the adult man beside the boy and the woman on the hillside not far away. Although he couldn't see clearly because of the distance, there was a child wearing the uniform of an experimental primary school in this remote mountain village.

Qi Feng was 99% certain that the child was Lin Xiaohai, and as for the two adults, it was self-evident.

The driver, of course, was quite compliant with his employer. Since that was what the other party said, he couldn't ask any more questions and could only press the accelerator again to maintain the original speed and drive forward.

Inside the car, the atmosphere froze instantly.

Qi Feng turned around without making a sound and exchanged a glance with Kou Shitou in the back seat. With just one look, Kou Shitou instantly understood.

He quietly picked up his phone and his fingers flew across the screen.

The black car continued its bumpy journey, rounding a bend and leaving the field completely behind, out of sight.

Only then did Qi Feng let out a long sigh of relief, and his body relaxed slightly.

"Driver, please pull over to the side of the road ahead."

"Okay."

The unlicensed car pulled over and came to a stop.

Qi Feng turned around, took out his police ID from his pocket, and flashed it in front of the driver.

"Sir, I am a police officer. Please cooperate with our work."

"ah?!"

The driver's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

police?!

Damn, one second he's a god of wealth, the next he's a public servant? That's a really fast change of identity!

He stood there with his mouth agape, speechless for a long time, his mind blank. Had someone reported him for driving an unlicensed taxi? Surely they could have arrested him in town, they didn't have to drive all the way here.

"Don't be nervous." Qi Feng put away his ID, trying to keep his tone calm. "When we passed by just now, did you see those people in the field on the right?"

"I see...I see it." The driver nodded subconsciously.

"Are they from your village?" Qi Feng pressed.

"No, they're not from our village." The driver snapped out of his daze and quickly waved his hand. "They're from out of town. They rented an empty house from Old Li at the east end of the village. Old Li went to the city with his son to enjoy a better life, so he rented that old house to this couple."

"Okay. Driver, now drive the car forward and find a discreet spot on the side of the road to park. Then stay in the car, lock the doors, and wait for us. Don't get out, and don't make any phone calls or mention what happened here to anyone. Can you do that?"

Previously, in the surveillance footage, Ren Yongshou and Liu Juan had a dilapidated motorcycle.

Although I didn't see it at the edge of the field just now, we must be fully prepared.

If they were alerted and fled on their bicycles, he and Kou Shi couldn't keep up with four wheels on two legs. This black car was their only means of transportation.

"Yes! I can do it! Don't worry, officer!"

The driver dared not say no, nodded repeatedly, immediately started the car, and carefully drove forward, finding a small grove of trees to hide the car.

Qi Feng and Kou Shi quickly got out of the car, turned around and went back, quietly climbing up a small hill they had just passed.

This is a high vantage point with a wide view, offering a panoramic view of the fields below.

"Brother Stone, have you reported to Captain Fan yet?" Qi Feng lowered his body and observed the distance.

"Yes, I've reported it, and the location has been sent." Kou Shi's voice was also very low, but his brows were tightly furrowed. "Captain Fan told us to keep a close eye on things; he and his men will be there soon. However..."

"But what?" Qi Feng put down his binoculars and looked at him.

"Look at this terrain," Kou Shi said, pointing around with a grave expression. "It's flat as a pan, all fields, just a few bare hills. If a large force comes to surround and capture us, they'll definitely be discovered as soon as they get close. I'm worried... they'll take the children hostage."

Kou Shi expressed the same concerns that Qi Feng had.

This place is too remote; very few people come here normally.

Even if Fan Liang and his group all drove their own cars, the appearance of more than a dozen cars at the same time would be enough to arouse anyone's vigilance.

If we alert them, the consequences could be disastrous.

"Brother Stone, you have more experience than me." Qi Feng's eyes scanned the surrounding terrain, his brain working at a rapid pace.

"Take a few photos of the surrounding environment with your phone, then retreat behind the hillside and explain the situation in detail to Captain Fan so he can make a decision. This needs to be done quickly; it's already past 4 PM. Once it gets dark, I'm afraid that if they return to the village and enter the houses, the difficulty of the arrest will increase dramatically. And right now, they seem to be playing around, but who knows when they might suddenly strike!"

"good!"

Without hesitation, Kou Shi quickly snapped a few photos, then crouched down and quietly retreated to the other side of the hillside to call Fan Liang.

Qi Feng remained where he was, keeping a watchful eye on the three figures from a distance.

The kite continued to fly, and the boy's laughter drifted faintly on the wind.

But who knows how long that laughter will last!

Those ten minutes felt like an eternity.

Kou Shi finally returned.

"How so?" Qi Feng asked.

"Team Leader Fan said the situation is urgent, and he has already reported to Director Wang, requesting support from the armed police! If necessary, just shoot them! The child's safety must be guaranteed!"

"Okay! I understand!" Qi Feng felt a little relieved.

This is the worst-case scenario, but it is also the safest approach.

However, fate always seems to like playing tricks at the most crucial moments.

Just as Qi Feng was estimating that Fan Liang's main force should be arriving at the outer perimeter soon and forming an encirclement, a large patch of thick dark clouds had gathered in the sky.

A bolt of lightning ripped across the sky, and then, without warning, large raindrops began to fall.

Splash.....

Moments later, a torrential downpour began.

In the fields, Ren Yongshou and Liu Juan were clearly caught off guard by the sudden downpour.

The two quickly packed their things, took Lin Xiaohao's hand, and prepared to leave.

"Damn it! What do we do!" Kou Shi cursed under his breath as he watched the scene unfold, slamming his fist into the mud.

So close!

It was so close! The reinforcements are almost here!

"They have motorcycles! It'll be even more troublesome once they get into the village!" Qi Feng sprang to his feet, a glint of frantic determination flashing in his eyes. "Come with me, Brother Stone!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already turned around and rushed down the slippery slope, heading straight for the direction where the black car was hiding.

"What are you planning to do?!"

Kou Shi asked as he ran.

"Brother Stone, this time... it's the Oscar-winning actor's turn to appear!"
