Chapter 115: Take the risk
Sure enough, as soon as the phone was called, the kidnapper's fierce voice immediately came from the speaker: "You liars, dare to use a fake painting to fool me, do you really think that I will not be ruthless? Let me tell you, Lao Tzu has no time to play with you, either send me the real painting obediently, or I will break the legs of these two people, you can watch it!"
Yingying and I immediately panicked, and all we could think of for a while was pleading, begging him not to be impulsive, and we would agree to any request. Our plea should have given him a certain amount of satisfaction, so hearing his emotions slowly became less agitated.
But if you go back and get the real painting, it means that the kidnappers will definitely grow wiser, and maybe they will become wiser, and they will not find him as easily as they do now.
And it is likely that this time he was deceived and poured his anger on the two hostages inside. The more I thought about it, the more unwilling and uneasy I became.
In the end, before Ying Ying promised to go back immediately to get the real painting, I was full of anger and preemptively opened my mouth and questioned the kidnappers.
"Wait, why do you say that the painting is fake? That is obviously the painting that was auctioned at auction that day, didn't you keep saying that it was your heirloom that day? Why don't you recognize it now, you are so easy to think that you are deliberately making things difficult and do not want to release people. ”
When Yingying heard my words, she was also a little shocked, and immediately called out my name, squeezed her eyes and whispered to me, what do you want to do?
I said Yingying and immediately raised my index finger to Yingying to signal not to speak, although Yingying didn't know what I wanted to do, but she also chose to cooperate with me in faith.
The kidnapper on the other end of the phone became agitated again, and simply and rudely shouted at me, "This is fake!
"You said it was fake, so you tell me why it's fake?" I was betting on the kidnapper's level of knowledge about the painting, because if he really knew how to paint, then he wouldn't be easily deceived.
"I remember that the last stamp on my painting was not so big, so it must be a fake from you, trying to deceive me. ”
Hearing this, my heart sank and I could finally relax a little, he really didn't know how to draw, if I only rely on memory to determine the authenticity of the painting, then I have the confidence to make him doubt his memory.
"Heh, hehe, ridiculous. I pretended to be dismissive," I remember my favorite dress when I was a kid was pink, but when my mom showed me my favorite dress as a kid, I found that it was red. The most unreliable thing in the world is memory, haven't you noticed?"
"You, you talk nonsense. I clearly remember that the seal is smaller than this, so you don't fool me here. ”
The kidnapper showed that he had already begun to doubt himself, and I took advantage of the victory to pursue him, and without giving him a chance to relax, he immediately answered: "Yes, I saw that painting at auction, why didn't I find any difference with this one?"
"Don't fool me here, you're in the same boat, of course you'll say that. ”
I continued to play with the style of my own writing, "It's true that I'm with them, but I'm a journalist by profession, and my teachers have always taught us to seek truth from facts and not reverse right and wrong since I was in college, and I always remember it, so even if we are together, I will never be sloppy when it comes to integrity." ”
"You, you're a journalist?"
Maybe I didn't know how to pick up this big guy by me, and suddenly pulled the topic to my career, but this is also what I want.
"Yes, big brother. Actually, we met on the day of the auction, right? On that day, I heard that you must have something unspeakable, but the scene was chaotic at the time, and I didn't have a chance to ask, otherwise I might be able to help you!"
"You, you say, can you help me?"
The kidnapper was visibly moved by my words, not realizing that I already knew who he was. I didn't chase it again: "Of course, have you forgotten what I just said, I'm a journalist? It's in the nature of journalists to help people in need." ”
"So, how can you help me?"
I knew that the opportunity had come, so I quickly let out a sincere laugh and said to the kidnappers: "It depends on how you want me to help you, and if you want me to help you, do you have to tell me the specific situation first?0"
"Good. The kidnappers immediately responded.
"I felt like we were talking on the phone too hard, and I noticed that my phone was running out of battery. How about I go up and talk to you face to face?"
When I made this request, the kidnappers suddenly became agitated again and yelled, "Are you trying to play some tricks again?"
I pretended to smile calmly and explained, "How so? Come to think of it, I'm a journalist." My favorite is valuable news, you are a good material, I must seize the opportunity, maybe your things can help more people, so that our leaders are happy to give me a promotion and a raise, why don't I do it. Do you say?"
Hearing me say this, the kidnappers hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to let me go up. Before I entered the factory, I secretly gave the captain of the police force a look, signaling that he could sneak someone into the situation for a while.
After receiving the captain's response, I took a deep breath, sorted out my emotions and attitude, straightened my back and walked into the broken factory. As the kidnappers said, I turned right when I got to the third floor, and in the second room, I saw the kidnappers standing at the door with a small dagger waiting for me.
As soon as he saw me, he waved a small dagger at me and motioned for me to come in. I quietly turned my head to look at the stairs as I came up, and saw that the police members had also secretly followed.
So I raised my hands, still looking calm and natural, and slowly walked towards the room. As soon as I entered the room, I saw He Yiyang and Lao Qi tied up in front of the innermost wall.
Lao Qi is okay, but he is tied with his hands and feet gagged, although the corners of his mouth are broken, but he is still awake, and he keeps muttering when he sees me, as if he wants to ask me something.
But when I saw He Yiyang on the other side, my heart instantly felt like a knife, and the pain spread to my whole body. He Yiyang was also tied hand and foot, but his face was already covered with blood and he couldn't wake up from the world.
I immediately shouted his name and was about to rush over, but the kidnapper suddenly stopped in front of me, pointed at me with a dagger, and said, "Don't move, I said don't try to play tricks on me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you." ”
Seeing that the kidnappers were so irritable, I had to be obedient and obedient, standing still and not daring to move, but I still couldn't help but ask the kidnappers: "What happened to you?"
The kidnapper clenched the dagger very cautiously, his eyes fixed on me, his legs shook lightly, and warned me: "He just fainted now, but if you dare to play tricks, I will immediately make him never wake up!"
I was worried that he would really do something to He Yiyang impulsively, so I could only look at He Yiyang from a distance and be secretly worried. I know that I have to get this big deal done as soon as possible, otherwise the longer He Yiyang passes, I don't know if anything will happen.
"Okay, I don't move. I opened my hands and tapped in front of the kidnapper, "Don't get excited, okay? Relax, let's talk about you now, okay? How do you want me to help you?"
The kidnappers didn't seem to be completely reassured of me, kept on their guard, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said to me: "That painting of mine was scammed by someone, by a female liar. I want you to help me write all the things about that stinky woman in the newspaper, and then help me find her. I'm going to get her to admit that she lied to me, and I'm going to get her down on her knees and apologize to me. ”
I pouted my lips secretly without saying anything from my heart, and asked me to find someone for him, when I was Detective Conan? But as soon as he said this, I understood why he said that we women are all liars.
In order to stabilize him, I had to agree against my will.
"Okay, I promised to help you, then let's talk about how you were deceived!"
The kidnapper swallowed hard again and said, "Two months ago, I was introduced by a marriage agency and met a woman named Chunhua. ”
Alas, it seems that it is another story of an honest man who was deceived into marriage. Really.......
So we discussed the issue of the bride price, she said that she has no relatives, the bride price means a little on the line, a good bride price, we set a bride price of 8880 yuan. ”
"That's not much. I interjected inadvertently.
The kidnapper suddenly became sad, "It's not much for you people, but I am a rough person in the countryside, and there is an old mother waiting for me to feed, and this more than 8,000 is the living expenses of our mother and son for half a year." ”
"So you thought of selling your ancestral paintings?" I speculated.
"I don't have it, this is our family's ancestral, my mother said, this is to be passed down from generation to generation. It was the woman, after knowing that I had such a painting in my house, and she proposed to me that we could take the painting to the pawn shop, and then redeem it when we made money together in the future. ”
I can probably guess the next thing. The kidnappers also slowly relaxed their vigilance because of what they said. I'm not here to listen to his story, I have to find a way to give the police a chance to arrest him.
I was in a hurry and interrupted the kidnapper: "Alas, big brother, can you wait a minute. Your story sounds complicated, I'm afraid my mind won't remember it. ”
"So, what then?" the kidnapper asked seriously, as he dropped the dagger.
I smiled at him calmly and said, "I need it for work, and I usually carry a voice recorder with me, you wait, I'll take it out." ”
I usually carry a voice recorder. I pretended to look for it, and then patted my pocket and deliberately panicked: "Oh, no, why is my voice recorder missing?"
He Yiyang's inner monologue
Quietly, no matter what happens in the future, I won't allow you to take risks again.
