Chapter 887: Chapter 398: Arresting Suspects in Broad Daylight (Part 2)

Just as he brushed past the target, he focused carefully on the man’s facial features.

After they completely passed each other, he confirmed, "Confirmed, it’s Target No. 1."

While he was reporting, that scruffy man also headed to the street corner, walking straight towards the northern road, "Wu Kang, be alert, the target is crossing the intersection, he’ll reach your side in about 30 seconds."

"Got it."

Wu Kang responded briefly, then put down the magazine in his hand, taking over from Gu Ji to continue the surveillance.

This is a crucial element in the investigation and tracking.

Frequently showing up in the same visual field within a short period can easily arouse the suspicion of mindful individuals.

"The target is heading north on Alaka, on the street’s east side, still moving north, very likely to leave this district. Should we act?"

Wu Kang followed closely behind the scruffy man, constantly reporting to Liu Weijun and others.

"No rush, still two more haven’t appeared, let’s wait a bit more."

Liu Weijun just finished saying this.

In the next second, Wu Kang noticed the scruffy man met up with two people walking towards them, one being a stylishly dressed Iranian young man, and the other a short-haired woman holding an ice cream cone, animatedly talking about something, "Spotted Targets No. 2 and No. 3, the young man and the short-haired woman have appeared!"

"Keep a close watch on them, Wu Kang, Mr. Gong, let’s prepare to act!"

"Roger!"

Just when the team leaders confirmed the preparation to act, the three targets began to move again.

Wu Kang immediately quickened his pace to follow them.

Unexpectedly, a couple carrying backpacks appeared out of nowhere, blocking him, "Excuse me, are you from Xia Kingdom? Can you please help us take a picture, is that okay?"

"Ah, sorry, I’m busy at the moment."

Wu Kang hesitated for a moment before hurriedly declining the passerby’s request.

But when he turned his gaze back towards the target, he realized the street was empty of the three, "Damn, I got distracted by the passerby, the target vanished from my view!"

"What? Did anyone else spot the target? Gu Ji? Gao Bo!"

"Could it be the target got alerted, perhaps those two passersby are suspicious!"

"We’ve rotated many times, there can’t be any flaws..."

During their dispute, Gu Ji quickly set off, running from the east street towards the north, along with Gao Bo and Zhuang Feng from their group.

The three cooperated with Wu Kang to encircle from the north.

Finally, after Gu Ji had run about 400 meters, he glimpsed the scruffy man’s trio at an intersection ahead.

Perhaps his movements were too conspicuous, catching the attention of the short-haired woman, who gave him a glance.

"I saw them pass the intersection in front of me, heading east, but the intersection is too narrow from this angle; I can’t see their subsequent journey. The short-haired woman has seen me, if I follow now, it might alert the target!"

"Leave it to me, I’ve already encircled from the east!"

Just as Gu Ji stopped, ready to curse, Zhuang Feng’s voice came through the earphones unexpectedly.

He instinctively looked back at his original position, recalling the previous trio’s layout. Zhuang Feng, originally positioned at the intersection center, was unexpectedly faster than his eastern move.

"Target spotted, they’re standing under a white apartment building, making a call."

"Everyone, act immediately!"

Liu Weijun and Gong Qingyong simultaneously shouted in the earphones.

The next second, Gu Ji quickly pulled a scarf from his pocket, wrapped it around his head, and used a skull face mask to cover his face, rushing toward the location Zhuang Feng reported.

On his way, many passersby stopped curiously upon seeing his disguise.

Nearing the target point, Gu Ji swiftly drew a SIG Sauer P226 pistol from his waist, causing passersby to scream loudly.

"Ah—!"

"Bang!"

Without hesitation, Gu Ji fired a shot into the sky.

The trio under the apartment building heard the screams and gunfire, their expressions changing immediately, instinctively attempting to scatter and flee.

But suddenly, a white van and a black SUV screeched to a halt by the roadside, their doors opening, revealing several mysterious individuals clad in Iranian attire and skull face masks, armed with various firearms.

"Stop!!"

"Ratatat! Everyone, don’t block the way!"

These people were indeed Liu Weijun and Second Squad SWAT officers who had arrived.

They shouted loudly in English, firing into the sky multiple times, scaring away the surrounding passersby.

The scruffy man was about to flee in the chaos, but Zhuang Feng, already charging with his handgun, tackled him to the ground, pressing the barrel against his head.

The short-haired woman collapsed on the ground in terror.

In the meantime, the Iranian youth, agile due to his physique, scrambled into the apartment building.

"Damn it! One target fled into the apartment building!"

"Gao Bo and I will pursue!"

Gu Ji left the words behind, then rushed up the staircase, gun in hand.

Leaving Liu Weijun and the gang posing as gangsters to drag the controlled duo into the van.

Gu Ji stayed close to the wall, gun held high, using the stair gap to see the fleeing target’s shadow, two shots hitting the railings.

This shot nearly caused the target to fall, prompting him to turn into the adjacent hallway.

"Let me handle it."

Gao Bo patted Gu Ji’s shoulder from behind, naturally taking the lead, acting as the vanguard.

Though they were pretending to be gang members.

Their deeply ingrained training instincts still drove them to employ SOP tactics in dangerous situations.

"Be careful, there might be allies of the target in the building!"

The target trio could have stopped under the apartment for hidden allies or superiors.

"Understood!"

Gao Bo ascended step by step, gun in hand.

Upon reaching the staircase corner, he glanced back at Gu Ji.

The two, understanding each other’s unspoken coordination, pressed their triggers lightly.

One squatted against the wall, the other retreated to cut the corner, instantly executing a hook corner maneuver, their fire coverage enveloping the exposed corridor.

Except for empty air.

The hallway was devoid of people.

All doors tightly shut.

While Gao Bo suspected the target was hiding within a room, Gu Ji’s enhanced vision discerned a faint garment exposed behind a wooden box placed at a distant doorway.

He gently tapped Gao Bo, signaling with his fingers.

The latter immediately comprehended, sticking to the left wall of the corridor, cautiously advancing, while Gu Ji trailed Gao Bo a few steps before pivoting around, guarding the rear.

This long, narrow corridor housed numerous residents.

If they didn’t guard the rear, should the box be bait, allowing enemies to ambush them from a room as they inspected it, it would be an easy hit!

But the target clearly lacked Gu Ji’s envisioned cunning.

With their approach.

They distinctly heard a trembling noise behind the wooden box.

When Gao Bo made the final step, a shadow suddenly emerged from behind the box, clutching his head in panic. It was the escaped youth: "Don’t shoot! I beg you don’t kill me!!"

"Hands! Raise them high!"

Gao Bo, not understanding Persian, had to shout in English.

Seeing Gu Ji on guard, he holstered his weapon, searching the youth’s waist for potential weapons, once deemed safe, he grabbed his collar, leading him away from the apartment.

Below, Wu Kang escorted Zhao Hua for reinforcements.

Upon meeting them, together they hauled the youth into the van, slamming the door shut.

"Let’s go!"

By this time, police sirens could be faintly heard nearby, prompting Liu Weijun to hastily contact Miliburn in the SUV to coordinate with the Iranian police, preventing confrontation or accidental injuries.

Gu Ji examined the three suspects brought into the van carefully.

Just as the van turned out of the alley onto the boulevard.

Suddenly.

A familiar face appeared outside the window.
