As soon as the words were spoken.

With a clatter, the large iron gate of the factory was suddenly opened, accompanied by glaring lights. Six or seven SUVs and vans of various colors drove out of the building. Fortunately, they did not act rashly. Baron pointed to one of the black vans and shouted, "That’s it! That’s the car that transported Liu Meiling earlier!"

"What’s the situation, they’re transferring again?"

Wa Xueming was suddenly a bit puzzled by Liangben’s strategy. He raised his wrist to check the time. He had lied to Chaojun, Bai Mingliang, and others, saying he was going to the black market to find guns. Because of the incident during the funeral earlier in the day, they were all a bit frightened and didn’t suspect a thing, but they also couldn’t delay too long.

Baron patted him on the shoulder.

"Do you have a car?"

"No, I took a taxi here."

"Damn it, then why are we still standing here, hurry and stop a taxi, or we’ll lose them!" Baron looked speechless; does this person have any investigative experience at all?

It’s 7:40 PM.

Gu Ji and the others in the convoy once again followed the coordinates provided by Jian Na, arriving at Shangzeding Street, located in the north of Hachioji City.

Gu Ji also received the news of Baron’s change of address. Currently, they were tracking Liangben’s convoy moving southwestward, heading toward the central area of Tokyo City.

So he didn’t have any time to look around at the environment but instead pretended to be in a trance, using his mind to search for detailed road maps of Tokyo City Center on the Ghost Server.

"Attention, the command center just sent a message; Jian Na has arrived at the target point!"

Not long after SAT’s special police went down to investigate, Nagatani Shouhei’s voice came through the walkie-talkie again.

Everyone looked through the window. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

They saw a tall woman in a gray woolen coat, with her hair in a high ponytail, very attractive, getting out of a taxi at the edge of the road. It was Jian Na.

Following behind her was a gray Toyota sedan, probably a police officer sent by the Police Headquarters to track and protect her.

Shi Zhengmin first glanced at the taxi’s license plate number, then quickly scanned the hidden corners.

Gu Ji guessed he was searching for support from the 7472.

But before the taxi left, Jian Na received a call. She first frowned, then quickly opened the back door and got back in.

Zeng Dan soon received a text message.

"Liangben has changed location again, now in the center of Nakano District."

"That far?"

Shi Zhengmin checked the location on his phone and found it was indeed within the 23 wards of Tokyo.

Lang Shaobo, sitting in the driver’s seat, couldn’t help but turn back and remark, "That’s the center of Nakano District, the main interchange for the JR Chuo Line and the Tokyo Subway Tozai Line, only a 5-minute drive from Shinjuku. By the time we get there, it will be the peak of Shinjuku’s nightlife, with an extremely high density of people!"

"The scene is not conducive to blockade." Zeng Dan stared at the phone map for a while, "Xiaolang, just follow first."

"Alright!"

Lang Shaobo restarted the engine, following the SAT assault vehicle.

An hour later, the convoy entered the city center of Tokyo. The Ghost Server once again sent a message from Baron, saying that after Liangben’s convoy left the factory, they suddenly split into two groups, one continuing towards the southwest of Nakano District, and the other stopping at the border between Nakano District and Shinjuku District, where Jian Na’s mother, Liu Meiling, was located.

Gu Ji sat in the third row, silently analyzing all the gathered intelligence.

At the border between two districts...

Could it really be as Zeng Dan said, that Liangben was merely using the crowd to increase the difficulty of the police blockade?

No, according to this logic, the meeting place should be set in the Central District or Shinjuku District, the former with the most prosperous Ginza Shopping District, and the latter with the internationally renowned red-light district, Kabukicho, with people far more densely packed than at the border of Nakano District.

Unless this place had better locational factors.

Gu Ji’s eyes quickly moved back and forth on the map, finally captivated by several thick, colorful lines running from east to west and north to south.

It’s the subway!!

He suddenly recalled what Lang Shaobo had said, that Nakano Station in the Central District is an interchange center for JR Rail and the Tokyo Underground.

Indeed.

When it comes to the most densely populated places, nothing beats a subway interchange center, where during peak hours it’s shoulder to shoulder, people densely packed. More importantly, the Tokyo Underground, JR Railway, and Police Headquarters are entirely three separate systems!

Which means if the police wanted to blockade the subway, they would first need permission from the railway and subway companies.

Even if the Japan Railway Company could react quickly, they could not be as convenient as the centralized command and dispatch of the Police Headquarters, much like foreign individuals trying to communicate through an interpreter.

"Beep," a car horn brought Gu Ji back to reality.

He lifted his head.

They were waiting at a red light in the crowded traffic; the phone map showed they were already close to Nakano Station.

After much consideration, Gu Ji decided to use Lang Shaobo’s words to voice his analysis and give a heads-up to SAT and the operations headquarters.

Just as he was about to speak, the front taxi suddenly opened its door.

Jian Na, while answering a call, got out of the car and started running around in the traffic at the intersection.

"Wait! Everyone, watch out! Jian Na just got out of the car suddenly!"

"It seems Liangben has changed the location again, likely very nearby!"

As soon as Zeng Dan finished speaking, in the crossroad’s lateral lane, a white van suddenly stopped next to Jian Na, the door opened, and two men in black swiftly grabbed her arms and dragged her into the car.

"Let go!!" Jian Na immediately bit the strong man’s arm, but the next second, a black muzzle emerged from inside the car, pointed at Jian Na’s head.
