At half past eight o'clock in the evening, Xiangjiang was already brightly lit, and at Wang's house, Li Zhaoji and his wife were here with Wang Dehui's wife waiting for news from all sides.

Liu Huijuan said to Wang Dehui's wife: "You have to take care of yourself now, so that you can have the energy to deal with the affairs of Dehui and the group, if you fall, it will really be over." ”

"It's been almost twelve hours, and now there is no news at all, how can I rest assured, even if these kidnappers are trying to make money, they should contact me, at least I can know that Dehui is safe for the time being, but now the kidnappers don't contact me, I'm really worried that something will happen to Dehui." ”

She hasn't eaten a bite of food this day, and has been waiting for the call, whether it's the police or the Li consortium, even if it's the kidnapper, so that he can have a little bottom in his heart, and now there is nothing.

On this night, many people are destined to be sleepless, and in the office area of the political research room of Wheelock Building, Wang Hui is still waiting in the office for the news of the investigation under hand.

In the Xiangjiang Communication Building, Qin Yu is still waiting in the monitoring team, and before the results appear, he has no intention of returning home, and he will choose to sleep in the office.

The interior of the Xiangjiang Police Department is also brightly lit, they are facing the greatest pressure, time is passing by minute by second, and they have not yet had any news that can be the position of Wang Dehui, once Wang Dehui has any accident, this is a heavy blow to the prestige of the Xiangjiang police.

At Lee's home, security measures have been upgraded again, and eight more action teams will be formed to expand the capabilities of defense and operations.

Previously, there had always been only 12 action groups, each group of 24 people, except for the 5th action group in Austria to protect Gan Qinglin's safety, the other 11 action groups have been in Xiangjiang, in addition to training, is to maintain the safety of the Li family.

Now the eight action groups have been expanded again, bringing the number of action groups under the security company to 20, in addition to protecting the safety of the Li family, these mainly carry out some special tasks, such as Gan Qinglin's side, the situation in Eastern Europe needs one such action group to protect the safety of the core personnel of the consortium in the past.

Perhaps these kidnappers were in a hurry to get the money, so they didn't make the parties wait too long, and at about nine o'clock in the evening, a phone call reached Wang's house.

This call has received great attention from the Heung Kong Police Force and the Heung Kong Communication Group, and both parties are working to determine the address of the call as quickly as possible.

In the living room of Wang's house, as soon as the phone rang, Wang Dehui's wife immediately walked to the phone, picked up the microphone and said, "Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Are you Mrs. Wang?"

"I am, who are you?"

"Mrs. Wang, Wang Sheng is in our hands, and now it is very safe, we are just asking for money, and we will send Wang Sheng back to you safely after the money is in hand, I hope Mrs. Wang will put Wang Sheng's safety first. ”

"I'm going to talk to Dehui to make sure he's safe. ”

She had already been instructed by the Lee Consortium and the Heung Kong Police Department to delay as long as possible when the kidnappers called, so as to buy time for them to find the address to call.

And she also hopes to listen to Wang Dehui's voice, so that she can feel at ease.

"Mrs. Wang, Mr. Wang is not by my side now, you don't have to worry about his safety, I also know that the Xiangjiang Police Department and the Li Consortium are looking for us in a wide range of Xiangjiang, I guess they are looking for my address now, report to Mrs. Wang today that they are safe, and I will negotiate the price with Mrs. Wang tomorrow." ”

When Wang Dehui's wife wanted to say something, the other party had already hung up the phone.

Liu Huijuan asked, "What did the other party say?"

"The other party knew that the police department and the Li consortium were looking for them, but he only said that Dehui was safe now and was negotiating the price with me tomorrow, and he also knew that the police department and the Heung Kong Communication Group were checking his phone address, and he also said that Dehui was not by his side. ”

Liu Huijuan comforted: "As long as the other party asks for money, it's fine, don't worry too much, it's a big deal to give more money, this kidnapper's IQ is not low, and he is well-informed enough, and his Cantonese is also good, I suspect that he is from our Xiangjiang." ”

At this time, the Xiangjiang Police Department, in its intelligence center, the team leader in charge of monitoring had an urge to curse in his heart at this time, and he was about to lock the address, but he didn't expect the other party to hang up the phone.

He told the group members, "You can trace the source of this call again and see if you can identify an exact place, even if it is a certain area." ”

In the monitoring group of Xiangjiang Communication Group, Qin Yu asked: "How is it, have you determined where you are?"

This call time is there, but their Xiangjiang Communication Group specializes in Xiangjiang telephone communication and mobile phone communication, as long as there is a reason in the territory of Xiangjiang, they can find out, but it will take a little more time.

A team member said: "Qin Sheng, because the call time is too short, we need to sort out and analyze the data, and it is estimated that it will take about half an hour. ”

"You have to be fast, Li Sheng attaches great importance to this incident, and the police department also hopes that our side can make progress as soon as possible. ”

When it was close to ten o'clock, Li Guangyu received a call from Qin Yu, and he said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, we have found out the phone address used by the kidnappers, which is located in a public telephone booth not far from Hengyu Supermarket in Hung Hom. ”

Li Guangyu said: "You immediately contact Wang Hui, tell him the news, ask him to arrange personnel to investigate, and at the same time send it to the Xiangjiang Police Department." ”

"Okay Li Sheng, then I won't disturb your rest. ”

After Qin Yu hung up Li Guangyu's phone, he immediately contacted Wang Hui and the Xiangjiang Police Department to report the situation.

Wang Hui, who is the director of the Political Research Office and the head of the Greater China Studies Section, not only ordered his subordinates over there to start an investigation after receiving Qin Yu's report, but he himself rushed to Hung Hom.

After so many years of layout, if he can't play any role this time, his political research office will be very embarrassed in the future, either he will be out of class, or this department will be abolished.

Originally, the slow progress of the United States made it difficult for him to explain to Li Guangyu, and if he still had no role in Xiangjiang, the place where the Li consortium had the greatest influence, he would really have to resign and apologize.

Although Wang Hui knew that it was useless for him to go over at this time, he still had to take a look, looking forward to what he could gain a little bit.

After receiving Wang Hui's order, the personnel on the Hung Hom side immediately went to the phone booth not far from Hengyu Supermarket and asked the people in the surrounding area to see if they could have some useful news.

Since Hengyu Supermarket doesn't get off work until 10 o'clock in the evening, some of the surrounding stores have not yet closed, and there are some people who come to wait for their families to get off work, which may provide them with some valuable information.

Zhou Yiwei, a member of the Greater China Research Division of the Political Research Office, is responsible for the affairs of the Lee Consortium in this area.

Upon arriving, he stood in the phone booth and looked around, then turned left to a small shop that was not closed, and asked if he had any impression of the person who was calling the phone booth at 9:16 p.m.

It's a pity that he didn't get good news, and the owner of the store was busy with business and didn't pay attention to the situation over there at all.

He did not lose heart, and after asking at this house, he began to ask at the next one.
