Chapter Transnational Arrest
Advoan is a prairie located in southeastern Australia, with the most prestigious Mongo National Park nearby.
Between the undulating hills on the edge of the grassland are thick and short date palm trees and silver wild oats, as well as dry grass, white flocks of sheep and romantic farmhouses full of geraniums. Occasionally, the exposed rocks of brown and red make people feel Mars; the brown-red land has green vines, which looks like the style of Western oil paintings from a distance.
Along the way, there are scenery, small British classical towns, vast vineyards and wineries. Further down there is a quiet farmhouse, full of quaint stone houses, wooden houses and dark red street stones. At the end of the farmhouse, there are private manors with different styles and shapes.
Among them, there is a Lindao Manor close to the locals called Ganju Canyon, which is backed by the Kuruba Mountains. The main color of the manor is blue stone and golden sand, ancient cottages, medieval style horse corridors, and an open courtyard that seems to travel to another time and space.
Hundreds of brightly colored flowers grow in the garden. Whenever the wind blows from the canyon in the evening spreads the fragrance of flowers. It is really the most beautiful enjoyment in life to take a glass of iced wine to enjoy the dreamy pastoral scenery.
Night falls.
The Advoan grassland and the Kuruba Mountains are shrouded in the darkness, without moonlight, and the residents of the farm, manor and town are used to staying in the house, leaning on the warm fireplace, tasting homemade shortbread with jam, espresso, lavender ice cream, plus a cup of Devon tea, and quietly reading books and newspapers. How comfortable life is.
It's half past one in the morning.
People appeared around Lindao Manor one after another, and black shadows seemed to be moving in the sky. The shepherd dog began to growl and roar uneasyly, but soon there was no sound strangely.
"Report to the old captain, a group has entered the designated location, the report is completed!"
"Report to the old captain, the second group has entered the designated location, and the report is completed!"
"Report……"
After continuous reports, on a small hill six or seven meters high opposite the manor, the person in the middle stared at the monitor, and stared at the surroundings with guns on both sides alertly, forming a semi-enclosing fan shape.
"I'm the old captain," he said in a low voice, "now the check time is 32 minutes and 7 seconds, 32 minutes and 10 seconds... OK, the check is over!"
"I am the old captain. Now I order that each group will act simultaneously in 36 minutes and 5 seconds; repeat, each group will act simultaneously in 36 minutes and 5 seconds; 9 groups will strengthen the vigilance in the direction of the canyon! Pay attention to trying to catch the living mouth as much as possible, and try to catch the living mouth as much as possible!"
After the order was issued, an extremely slight "hissing" sounded over the manor, and it turned out to be two huge hot air balloons!
The hot air balloon descended rapidly and stayed at a height of more than ten meters above the roof of the manor in a blink of an eye. Since the weather is good, there is no wind at night, the hot air balloon can control its position in the air.
1:36:10 am!
Eight figures jumped out of the two hot air balloons and were accurately positioned in the two main buildings of the manor. "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, and swoosh, they all stepped on the wall-breaker that rotated at high speed like a hot wheel. As soon as they landed on the roof, they cut the hard cement layer like cutting tofu, and "bang" straight through the roof and rushed into the room on the top floor!
At the same time, several tongues of fire passed from outside the manor over the wall, lawn, and railings, accurately attached to the exterior wall. With a "boom", the entire wall on the south collapsed instantly, and the situation inside the house was completely visible.
The bodyguards in the manor were well-trained, and shouts and gunshots immediately came within four or five seconds, but there was no panic. Obviously, they all reacted quickly and organized effective defenses.
"Boom--"
Someone fired two rockets with poisonous fog from a hot air balloon at high altitude, and then five assault groups rushed in from different directions. The manor was suddenly in chaos, with fires soaring into the sky, thick smoke rolling, people running and shooting everywhere, and the injured were wailing on the ground.
The bodyguards had never encountered such a tough and efficient opponent. They were hit hard in the fierce firefighting confrontation. The defense system collapsed in an avalanche and had to fight each other and resist tenaciously with their rich experience and superb shooting skills.
The aerial assault team cleared the top floors of two main buildings within two minutes, and did not find the target No. 1, but his wife was protected by two bodyguards in the study in the southeast corner of the third floor. Two light machine guns crossed and blocked the corridor, and there were sandbags in front of the door as bunker.
"Target No. 1 is not on the roof, Group Six requests frontal fire assistance!" The air assault team's three charges were blocked by the machine gun fire network, and they shouted anxiously.
"I am the old captain, three groups of fire assistance! Each group responded, have you discovered the No. 1 target?"
"A group is attacking the gym, and the firepower is not strong."
"The eighth group attacked the second floor restaurant, and there was a boy in his teens and a boy!"
"I am the old captain. Group 8 is careful not to hurt the boy. I must capture him alive, and he must capture him alive!"
"Eight groups received it!"
"Report to the old captain, the second group has controlled the garden, no abnormalities!"
"Report to the old captain, five groups have controlled the living room of the main building, two chefs, a woman and a gardener casualties!"
The old captain looked at the surveillance screen with nervousness, and the muscles on his face subconsciously spasmed, and he shouted suddenly:
"I am the old captain, group 2, group 3, group 5 immediately besiege the basement, immediately! Group 9 is ready for combat!"
"The Nine Group received it!" a distant voice replied.
The special nature of the study structure on the third floor of the main building made the aerial assault team unable to attack for a long time. However, the three groups, who had just joined the battle for less than half a minute, have turned to attack the basement. The group leader is extremely anxious:
"Request fire assistance, request fire assistance!"
The old captain said decisively: "The six groups withdraw, count down ten seconds, and launch rockets!"
Group 6 just ran downstairs and heard a loud "boom" from above. The two bodyguards and target wife were all swallowed up in the explosion smoke.
From the first gunshot to now, only two and a half minutes, the mother and wife of the No. 1 target in the manor, six bodyguards, chefs, gardeners, servants, etc., all died in a pool of blood. Only his son was hit by anesthesia gun and transported them to a hot air balloon.
The battle to attack the basement continues.
No one expected that the No. 1 target could not live in the rooftop view room, but slept in the basement, which added trouble to the raid.
The two bodyguards are the most professional "death soldiers" in Europe and the United States. As soon as the battle started, they stubbornly withstood the first round of attack and fell hundreds of pounds of steel gates. The snake-moving lanes further increase the difficulty of gunfights.
But the so-called difficulty is that it only takes less than a minute...
An expected gunshot sound came from the direction of the canyon. After a short and fierce firefight, two bodyguards died in the midst of gunfire.
The assaulter in camouflage found a white and fat middle-aged man from the tunnel, shaking his whole body into sieve, took the photo and looked at it for a while, and reported:
"Group Ninth Group caught the No. 1 target, and Group Ninth Group caught the No. 1 target!"
Hearing standard Mandarin, the middle-aged man suddenly woke up and shouted sharply: "You can't catch me, I am an Australian citizen, I am protected by the Australian government..."
The assaulter kicked him contemptuously: "Go back to Australian citizens, little one!"
Someone from behind took a piece of wet gauze to cover the middle-aged man's nose. In just two seconds, he became soft and mud.
An order came from the walkie-talkie: "I am the old captain, retreat as planned!"
Not long after, two hot air balloons rose into the air and disappeared in an instant in the vast night sky; the cars hidden deep around the manor also drove in different directions, and there was no one at the scene.
But the fires ignited from the depths of the manor are getting stronger and stronger. By dawn, when the police car arrived late, Lindao Manor had turned into a pile of ashes.
The next evening, when the furious Australian Foreign Ministry issued the "strongest and most severe condemnation" to China, Commissioner Yuan, the leader of the first group of the task force No. 0, pushed open the iron door of the interrogation room, calmly looked at the old man with white hair and beards on the opposite side, and said:
"Comrade Chao Jian, if I remember correctly, this year is the third year of your cooperation in the investigation. Three years have passed. You are old and I am old. We have all wasted great time, right?"
Chao Jian sneered and said, "You didn't waste it. Handling this case is equivalent to promotion and reuse. Now you enjoy the treatment of the deputy department? Very good. Let's continue to waste it. I wish you a prosperous official career and a better success!"
Commissioner Yuan smiled: "Thank you for your blessings. If you cooperate with the investigation and explain it truthfully, it will be realized soon."
"Stop talking nonsense with me!" Chao Jian said, "As the former deputy secretary of the ***, secretary of the Legal Affairs Committee, and a ministerial-level leading cadre, I am indignant of your task force's inability to discipline and seriously violate the detention and retention system! I repeatedly stress that I am not aware of any of the things you said, I did not participate, planned any conspiracy about the crash of Mr. Liu's return flight on his trip to Central Asia. If you insist that I have any problems, please provide evidence!"
"Comrade Chao Jian, the No. 0 task force has arrested cadres of your level since its establishment. Even if you are retired, it is no exception. It is conceivable that the Kyoto leadership team is determined to conduct a thorough investigation," Commissioner Yuan said with a gentle and firm attitude, "I can reveal that you are not the first ministerial-level and not the last one who came in for this case. We treat each other with courtesy and food according to the requirements of our superiors. That is, as you said, "I have not obtained conclusive evidence for the time being; otherwise, your life will probably be difficult to bear!"
"So what else can I say?"
Chao Jian said carelessly, "Stop brainwashing me, don't implicitly intimidate. I have experienced too many storms and waves, so many that you can't imagine... The walk time is coming, and that's all the conversation today?"
Commissioner Yuan still smiled: "The conversation will take longer today because there is a new situation..." He paused in Chao Jian's puzzled gaze, "Your son Chao Kewei, who is in Australia, resolutely returned to China to surrender today, and strive for leniency!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Chao Jian jumped up like an electric shock and shouted, "Kewei is an Australian citizen, how could he run back to the mainland with lard..."
Commissioner Yuan slowly raised a photo, which was the moment when Chao Kewei got off the plane. Based on experience, Chao Jian identified the identities of four or five people behind his son at a glance.
My son was arrested and returned to China by agents of ***!
This terrible fact instantly defeated Chao Jian's psychological defense line. He was shaking, his eyes were dull, and his whole body was chilled...
"You...I...What can I do to let Kwei go?" Chao Jian asked dejectedly five minutes later.
