506: Failed to capture

Second Brother said very bluntly, "Because you're f*cking stupid."

"You should understand, I just saved your life."

"Look at this distance, if Director wanted to kill you, you'd be dead by now."

Third Brother only then noticed, and he quickly stepped back.

Seeing his reaction, Second Brother sneered and continued, "I won't talk about anything else for now, I just want to know, where did that Police Officer come from?"

"We just arrived, and he arrived right after?"

Second Brother's gloomy expression even made Fourth Brother, who had always trusted Third Brother, subconsciously step away.

Li Shiya finally understood at this point. He narrowed his eyes, like a lion waiting to pounce on its prey: "Was it you who contacted the Police Officer?"

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Jiang Si and the other four people also gathered together.

Zhang Xiaxia asked anxiously, "How is it, Jiang Si? Did you get the thing?"

Jiang Si nodded, revealing a corner of the Gu Zun Ding she was holding.

Xiao Lin and Jing Jiang also had smiles on their faces.

Jiang Si then said, "The method mentioned in the letter really works."

Then, Jiang Si briefly recounted the process of her success.

Ten minutes ago, Li Shiya stumbled.

It was Jiang Si who tripped him the moment she brushed past him.

And in that instant, the dark shadow that Li Shiya thought was the genuine article was actually a fake thrown by Jiang Si!

In that split second, Jiang Si had safely and securely taken the item into her hand!

Especially seeing Li Shiya's reaction after seeing the fragments, Jiang Si naturally knew that she had succeeded.

If it were fake, or if he wasn't sure it was real, this person would absolutely not have reacted this way.

The heartbroken curses further explained everything.

In an emergency situation, coupled with the loss of a huge sum of money, Li Shiya had never thought about why he was suddenly tripped while walking on the road.

He also never thought that the item in his bag had been swapped.

He didn't even notice that Jiang Si had already tied a rope on the road he had walked on...

Knowing that the Gu Zun Ding in her hand was the genuine article,

Jiang Si immediately sent a message for the others to abandon their tracking and converge at one place.

Hearing Jiang Si say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xiaxia sighed, "Speaking of which, this Mr. Wang... is really formidable."

Jing Jiang also nodded, his tone was light, but his words were full of admiration: "This kind of feint and substitution tactic is extraordinary."

Xiao Lin also nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, not on the same level..."

"Fortunately, the next cooperation can continue..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and changed the subject.

"That was close, even the Police Officers came, just over ten minutes after us. How could they be so fast?"

Jiang Si's originally smiling expression suddenly froze.

She said seriously, "The reason these Police Officers came must be because that Mr. Wang is pulling strings from the middle."

"He gathered us, the tomb robbers, and the Police Officers together, his purpose was to have us discovered by the Police Officers, so that we would be out of the game."

"He never thought that we would actually be able to get the item, his purpose was just to exclude us."

Hearing Jiang Si's words, the eyes of the other three people froze.

They were just tricked like that?

He never thought of letting these people participate in the transaction?

But how would he do it himself?

They suddenly thought...

The 'next plan, I will notify you after getting the item' mentioned in the letter was simply a smokescreen, because there was no next plan at all!

They were used!

But at this moment, Jiang Si smiled again: "But it doesn't matter, he never expected that we would actually get the genuine article."

"Now we are one step ahead of him!"

"The trap was set too large, there are bound to be loopholes."

"He saw us as pawns, but he never expected that we, these pawns, would move on our own!"

Ding!

And at this moment, Jiang Si received a text message.

Looking at the content of the text message, her expression suddenly changed.

Although Jiang Si's heart was in turmoil at this time, she did not show it. She handed over the towel, and then quietly retreated to the side of the car.

In fact, this was the best time for her and Zhang Xiaxia to act, but at the moment they couldn't take any action. When she walked to the side of the car, Zhang Xiaxia also quietly stood by the car, which surprised Jiang Si a little.

"What does he want to do?"

Just then, Zhang Xiaxia had already pushed the cart and started to act. Jiang Si's heart tightened, if they were discovered, it would be a complete loss! But at this moment, she couldn't attract attention and could only let Zhang Xiaxia do as he pleased.

She went out first and turned to look at Zhang Xiaxia. At this time, she saw Zhang Xiaxia push the cart in a wide arc, directly pushing it next to the four travel bags, but his movements didn't stop, and he walked straight past! As he passed by the travel bags, he hooked up a travel bag with his foot and put it directly into the cart! This series of movements was fluid and smooth, leaving Jiang Si dumbfounded.

But what made her most nervous was not this, after all, that tomb robber was still very vigilant, and Zhang Xiaxia's actions at this time were too risky! She wanted to stop him, but Zhang Xiaxia had already pushed the cart out.

This feeling of walking on a knife's edge made Jiang Si's heart pound. But Li Shiya didn't notice, Zhang Xiaxia's movements were not obvious, and the angle he chose was very good, the most obvious movements were blocked by Third Brother sitting opposite Li Shiya! What's more, although Li Shiya was suspicious, he didn't suspect the two waiters at all! How could he have thought that the waiters who brought in the dishes were targeting their handbags?

Zhang Xiaxia pushed the cart out with a normal expression. When he came out, he immediately let out a long breath, but his movements didn't stop. He immediately opened the travel bag in the cart, took out the Gu Zun Ding from inside, and then put the prepared replica into the handbag. His hands were as steady as a mountain, without making a sound.

Jiang Si had no chance to ask, Zhang Xiaxia's rapid actions at this time surprised her. After completing these in an instant, he handed the taken out celadon to Jiang Si, and then went straight in again!

Jiang Si saw that Zhang Xiaxia actually went in again, still carrying that travel bag, and her eyes widened! Her gaze looked at the tomb robbers in the room, but she was surprised to find that they didn't react at all! It was then that she noticed that Zhang Xiaxia was carrying one side of the travel bag, making the travel bag move in sync with his legs, completely blocking the travel bag!

When he reached the blind spot, he quietly put down the travel bag, and then used his foot to move the travel bag forward! A short distance of five meters, full of details! Zhang Xiaxia actually put the item back! Then, he picked up a thermos on the coffee table and quietly walked out...

As soon as the door closed, Jiang Si looked at Zhang Xiaxia's face and felt like she was seeing him for the first time.

"What's wrong?" After Zhang Xiaxia relaxed, his breathing was a little heavy, it seemed he was also very nervous.

"Nothing..." Jiang Si knew there was no time for praise, she shook the Gu Zun Ding in her hand and said, "This is fake."

Zhang Xiaxia hummed, of course he didn't expect to get the real one on the first try, but the probability had at least increased from one quarter to one third.

Zhang Xiaxia said, "It's okay, just wait for the next step..."

Just then, Jiang Si's phone dinged with a notification sound. She immediately took out her phone and saw a text message from Jing Jiang: "The person from the Municipal Bureau that Xiao Lin and I saw in Guangrao Village that day is here! The one with the scar on his neck, he must be from the Municipal Bureau, he has seen us, if it doesn't work, let's leave first!"

Jiang Si was a little surprised, how did they actually meet someone from the Municipal Bureau?

They could even find this restaurant? What a joke?

But there was no time to hesitate now, Jiang Si had to make a decision. The people from the Municipal Bureau hadn't seen her and Zhang Xiaxia, which meant that if the plan was to continue, only the two of them could act!

The situation suddenly became complicated. Their time was already tight, and now another trouble was added!

Jiang Si quickly sent a message: "It's okay, Jing Jiang, you and Xiao Lin go first, Xiaxia and I haven't been seen."

"Even if we can't continue to cooperate, we can't miss this opportunity. The genuine Gu Zun Ding must be obtained!"

To control the situation, you must have leverage! Otherwise, they can only be pawns! Jiang Si could not accept this situation.

At this time, the second dish was also served. Since Zhang Xiaxia succeeded last time, they had more experience this time, and there was still a chance!

"I'll leave it to you." Jiang Si said solemnly.

Zhang Xiaxia nodded, took a deep breath, and pushed the cart into the private room again. Jiang Si didn't follow in this time, but guarded the door. If there was a problem, they had to escape quickly!

...

Meanwhile, at the hotel entrance.

Xiang Haitian and two Officer Sis walked into the hotel and immediately showed their identification.

"We are from the Municipal Bureau, and we suspect there are suspects dining here."

"We hope you will cooperate with our work and tell me the private room numbers that arrived after eleven o'clock."

The front desk saw the emblem on the identification and was clearly nervous. She immediately flipped through the record book, reporting the room numbers one by one.

"103, 201, 105, 107..."

"Only these four rooms."

Xiang Haitian nodded and walked inside with the two Officer Sis. Although he was not armed, as the Captain of the Municipal Bureau Criminal Investigation Brigade, his priority at this time was not his own safety.

In front of room 103.

With a creak, he pushed open the door, but the room was empty. Xiang Haitian frowned and immediately turned to ask the waiter: "Where are the people in this room?"

The waiter peeked in, shook his head: "I don't know, maybe they left, they didn't even order food."

Hearing this, Xiang Haitian was a little surprised. And Jiang Si, five meters away, saw the person from the Municipal Bureau with a scar on his neck, and from his demeanor, she recognized this person at a glance!

At this time, the second dish had just been served, no matter how fast Zhang Xiaxia was, it was impossible to confirm the remaining three bags so quickly!

Just as Jiang Si's mind was in a mess, Second Brother among the tomb robbers suddenly looked out the window, and his brows furrowed.

"That car..."

Li Shiya asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Second Brother pointed at the car outside the window and said, "That car is... I think I've seen it, yesterday at the entrance of the village!"

Li Shiya followed his gaze, and Third Brother and Fourth Brother also became nervous. Suddenly, Li Shiya looked at Zhang Xiaxia, who was serving the dishes, with a sinister expression: "You! Don't move!"

Li Shiya's voice was extremely vicious, and there was already murderous intent in his eyes.

Zhang Xiaxia felt his body stiffen, but from the corner of his eye, he noticed Jiang Si's gesture. He knew this was the signal to retreat.

"What are you doing?" Li Shiya stood up and walked towards Zhang Xiaxia. Zhang Xiaxia saw him reaching for his waist, where the dagger was already faintly visible.

Zhang Xiaxia said with a trembling voice, "Sir, what do you mean? I'm going to call the security guard..."

While he was speaking, Xiang Haitian also walked towards this room. He saw the worry and surprise on the female waiter's face at the door and realized that something must have happened.

He approached with heavy steps. Although time was tight, he knew that startling the criminals might lead to a more dangerous situation.

Inside the room, Li Shiya's distance from Zhang Xiaxia was getting closer. Zhang Xiaxia understood that he was in danger. Besides Li Shiya, there were three other people who were subtly forming a pincer movement on him. The cart was blocking in front of him, and if he suddenly rushed out, he would be at a disadvantage in terms of speed and distance.

Just as Li Shiya was approaching, Second Brother suddenly patted him and said, "I think we should leave first. If there's any trouble, we can come back to them later. If they are really from the Municipal Bureau, don't delay important matters, that Boss Ye is just a small fry, don't forget the big one."

Li Shiya snorted coldly after hearing this, looked at Zhang Xiaxia and said, "Get lost." Zhang Xiaxia immediately turned around and left. While Li Shiya was talking to Second Brother, he had already kicked the travel bag back. If Li Shiya had been staring at him, he would have had no chance to do so. Fortunately, Second Brother said something.

Third Brother received a look from Li Shiya and followed behind Zhang Xiaxia, ready to close the door. Just then, a hand reached out from the crack in the door and pushed the door open forcefully.

"You f*cking..." Third Brother cursed, but seeing Xiang Haitian's eyes, he swallowed his words.

Li Shiya also saw the person at the door, his eyes instantly narrowed, but he didn't run away, instead he went to meet him, the fierceness on his face instantly turned into a smile, and he walked towards the door.

"It's you?" He looked at Xiang Haitian and asked, "I didn't expect to meet you here, are you also here to eat?"

Xiang Haitian saw that there was something wrong with them, but there were four of them and they were likely armed, so he didn't say much, just nodded sarcastically, "What a coincidence."

As he spoke, he gestured to his colleagues with his left hand, indicating for them to quickly call for backup. And Li Shiya also gestured at the same time, signaling Second Brother to open the window. Both sides acted simultaneously.

Li Shiya continued, "That day I thought there was something wrong with you, you were evasive when you spoke, and you even said you wanted to see the treasure, I think you are not a good person."

Xiang Haitian was noncommittal: "The world is really going downhill, there are always people who throw mud at good people."

Li Shiya walked to the door, his hand on the doorknob, ready to close the door and block Xiang Haitian outside at any time. Just then, Xiang Haitian suddenly said, "Surrender, we have surrounded this place. You should be very clear about the consequences of resisting arrest violently."

Hearing this, Third Brother and Fourth Brother's faces changed. They didn't know that Xiang Haitian was lying, and Li Shiya's movements also visibly paused.

But Li Shiya was still defiant: "What a joke, who are you? And you want me to surrender? We are all good citizens, you have to commit a crime to surrender."

Xiang Haitian sneered in his heart, Li Shiya's level was still too low. A normal person hearing this would definitely chase him away with a face full of shame and anger.

Just as Xiang Haitian was about to say something else, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully. Li Shiya actually exerted sudden force and slammed the door shut!

Xiang Haitian reacted quickly and quickly withdrew his hand, but his finger was still pinched, and bruises immediately oozed out from under his fingernail.

"Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang! Chase!" Xiang Haitian endured the pain and shouted loudly. Ten fingers connected to the heart, the severe pain made his forehead sweat, and he was unable to move for a moment. But he gritted his teeth and looked around, wanting to find the two waiters, they had to quickly open the locked private room door!

However, he was stunned, there was only the cart beside him, the people were gone!

"Damn it!" Xiang Haitian realized that there was something wrong with the two waiters, but he couldn't care about that much at this time. He endured the pain and kicked open the door forcefully.

Bang! The door lock and the door frame were kicked open, but the room was already empty, and the window was wide open. He gritted his teeth and chased after them directly.

...

Zhang Xiaxia and Jiang Si had already left the hotel. While Xiang Haitian and Li Shiya were confronting each other, Jiang Si had already contacted Xiao Lin and Jing Jiang.

"Those tomb robbers must have run away! Stop them! Take the item!"

While running, they took off their waiter uniforms and threw them into a trash can by the roadside.

Jiang Si had already figured out Mr. Wang's plan at this time. Her brows were tightly furrowed, but she understood that she had to get the Gu Zun Ding to control the situation. Otherwise, they would be out of the game.

In the parking lot, the figures carrying the travel bags were very obvious, and there were also people surrounding their cars. The four people scattered and ran in four directions. Jiang Si gritted her teeth and edited a text message on her phone: "They have scattered, one of the packages with a red sticker has been confirmed, for the other three targets, one person each, chase!"
