Right now, inside the command vehicle!
Everyone was staring intently at the surveillance footage, not daring to get distracted at all, when suddenly someone pointed at a certain screen and roared:
"Look quickly..."
This shout directly startled quite a few people.
They didn't have time to complain, knowing something must have happened, and immediately looked along with the screen: they saw the sunroof of a commercial van in the footage suddenly open, and bursts of smoke drifted out from the sunroof.
"Opening the sunroof to vent smoke... This must be a signal..."
"Right, it must be a signal left behind by Qin Jiang! Pretty clever, huh? Smoking in the car definitely requires venting the smoke! And if the smoke is too thick, it will definitely be very obvious."
"He is quite smart indeed! Making us lock onto the target first..."
At this moment, they directly concluded that they had guessed Qin Jiang's plan, and evaluated the plan accordingly.
But the evaluation wasn't very high!
How should I put it!
Truth be told, this scheme wasn't particularly clever! They guessed the specific situation just like that; it was nothing more than being somewhat practical and allowing them to discover the situation first!
Naturally, they wouldn't give it too much praise!
On the big screen:
Everyone in the Nail Project Team also saw this scene, and several team members had a mindset similar to the people in the command vehicle.
Someone directly gave the order: "Quick! Lock onto that car! Keep your eyes glued to it! Send more manpower!"
Only the team leader and Bai Meng had strange expressions on their faces!
Bai Meng did not believe that Qin Jiang's plan would be so simple, and sneered at the people in front of him who were mocking Qin Jiang.
The team leader believed that such a simple plan could never keep Old Man Lin in the dark. As long as the other party paid attention, such smoke-venting behavior would definitely attract others' attention. Would Old Man Lin directly cancel the plan, making all their efforts fall short at the very end?
Right at this moment.
An exclamation arose once again:
"Holy shit! Holy shit... What is going on here..."
This cry once again attracted everyone's attention. Their gazes fell onto various surveillance videos, and then all of their faces went blank with disbelief:
How is that possible?
They saw that on all the major monitors, hundreds of commercial vans had all opened their sunroofs. Except for a few, the rest were billowing massive amounts of smoke, blending in once again...
Silence!
Incomparable silence!
Everyone felt that their excitement just now made them look like clowns, heavily slapped in the face by the surveillance footage in front of them.
"Damn it! Old Man Lin must have guessed this plan and made the other vehicles do the exact same thing."
"This Qin Jiang is too careless. Did he really not guess that this kind of thing couldn't possibly be hidden..."
"The clue we just had is gone again now..."
At this moment, their tones were filled with anger and even complaints. They were about to find the target, only for the target to disappear once again. How could they accept this!
Someone even spoke up directly: "Is this the method Qin Jiang came up with? Is this the confidence of the Black Dragon Group? You tell me how to tell them apart now?"
Someone said: "It should be smoke as the signal; those few without smoke can probably be ruled out."
Someone retorted: "No, what if this was deliberately designed by Old Man Lin? The ones without smoke are the actual targets."
In an instant, everyone fell into a deadlock once again.
On the big screen:
The team leader wasn't particularly surprised; instead, he felt that it would be abnormal if Old Man Lin couldn't discover this situation.
He gave the order:
"Continue to investigate according to my previous orders!"
"Do not rule out any vehicles for now!"
Then he looked at Bai Meng: "Ask the Black Dragon Group side and see what they have to say?"
Everyone was puzzled. What's the point of contacting the Black Dragon Group? This setup has already been broken by Old Man Lin, and they themselves have no solutions—what could the Black Dragon Group possibly discover?
Bai Meng: "Yes!"
He immediately contacted Zhao Shanhe's side.
...
At this moment.
The Black Dragon Group motorcade had already stopped in a certain open space, and used their cars to surround that open space.
Inside the open space!
Wang Tao, Zhao Shanhe, and Feng Lin looked with utmost solemnity at the two rugged-looking big men opposite them:
At this moment.
Both rugged-looking big men were looking up at the sky. After a moment, two black shadows appeared in their field of vision: those were two birds, and after circling overhead a few times, those two birds flew off in a certain direction.
The two rugged big men said in unison: "Found them!"
Wang Tao, Zhao Shanhe, and Feng Lin were ecstatic: "Really?!"
The rugged big man: "There can't be any mistake!"
Another rugged big man: "Right! Even if one makes a mistake, the other won't. The fact that both are flying in the same direction means they have found the same target!"
Zhao Shanhe: "Good!"
Feng Lin: "Brother Jiang is still awesome to be able to think of this method!"
Wang Tao: "If it weren't for Brother Jiang making preparations in advance, we would really be losing the target right now!"
It turned out that the two rugged big men were falconry experts from a certain ethnic minority tribe. Their tribe was the best in the country at training eagles. When Qin Jiang was making his plans, he realized that no matter how good a signal transmitter was, it would be blocked. In terms of technology, signal jammers were obviously much fiercer than signal transmitters.
If you can't compete in technology, what do you compete in?
Physics!
Right!
It's about physics!
At that time, Qin Jiang suddenly looked up and saw a fleeting speck of a flying bird streaking across the sky. As the saying goes, the most primitive things are the ones least likely to be noticed!
Who would care about birds flying in the sky?
Who would think these birds could accomplish things!
After all:
Most birds were just ordinary birds.
Except for... eagles!
China has had falconers since ancient times. Some falconry experts could even make eagles spiritually intelligent; while they might not be able to fully understand human speech, they could execute simple commands. When it came to finding targets, eagles had even more advantages—what on earth in the sky could see more accurately than an eagle's eye? Therefore, Qin Jiang deliberately sent people to invite two falconry experts. As for how they were invited, it was naturally by throwing money around; as long as the money was in place, there was no problem that couldn't be solved. Hiring two was naturally to prevent unexpected situations. Qin Jiang had long guessed that Old Master Lin would definitely not let opening the sunroof and venting smoke become a loophole, so the smoke Qin Jiang and the others smoked wasn't ordinary smoke, but a special substance provided by the falconers.
This kind of smoke could be quickly spotted by the eagles.
It could be said that:
Old Master Lin considered himself superior in skill!
But he had no idea at all that even his idea of opening the sunroof without opening the side windows was already within Qin Jiang's plan!
Now...
Everything was proceeding according to his plan!
Wang Tao: "The benefits promised to you will definitely not be less. You must keep your eyes on the target and absolutely not let it run away..."
The falconer: "Rest assured! Once spotted by our eagles, even if it hides in a rat hole, it won't be able to escape."
The falconer: "No problem! But they can't go underground..."
Wang Tao and the others nodded. After all, eagles relied on their eyes to track targets; if they really entered an underground parking garage, they definitely wouldn't be able to find them. But they couldn't enter an underground parking garage unless they reached the crime scene, which would be the ultimate target!
