Chapter 114: Rescue
I knew that I had to agree first at this time in order to stabilize the other party. After hearing my consent, the other party also confirmed the time and place with me.
After hanging up the phone, I analyzed it carefully, and found that the kidnapper's voice seemed to have been heard somewhere, and combined with the fact that what he wanted was the painting that Lao Qi proudly photographed.
I made a bold guess that this person seemed to be the man who fought at the auction door that day in order to grab a painting with Lao Qi.
When I answered the phone, I turned on the speakerphone, and He Yiyang could naturally hear the sound of the call inside, so I asked him for confirmation. After thinking for a moment, He Yiyang also nodded in agreement.
He Yiyang and I have met that man, so naturally we are no strangers, but Yingying didn't know about it, so after hearing our discussion, I asked questions.
"Who is the person you are talking about? Why did he rob my old Qi's paintings, and why did he kidnap my old Qi? What the hell is going on? Jingjing, what the hell is going on!"
Yingying's emotions became excited again, and He Yiyang and I tried our best to comfort Yingying, trying to calm her down first. However, Lao Qi and Ying Ying are deeply affectionate, and almost everyone who knows them is obvious to all.
After she knew about the person who kidnapped Lao Qi, how could she calm down so easily. Just then, the police arrived.
I was worried that Yingying's emotions would affect the police's clues, so I took Yingying into the bedroom first, asked He Yiyang to accompany her first, and I went outside to explain the situation to the police.
After my account of what happened, as well as my own inference about the identity of the kidnapper, I analyzed that the kidnapper should be the first time to commit the crime, and the purpose is clear, so I guess that the hostage should also be in the broken power plant.
It is very likely that the kidnappers will make us hand over the paintings with one hand and the other hand, so in the end it was decided that we should take the paintings and exchange the hostages first, and when the hostages reached safety, the police immediately rushed in and took the kidnappers down.
As soon as we finalized the plan, Ying Ying suddenly rushed out again, and asked with tears in her eyes: "What if Lao Qi doesn't break the power plant? What if the kidnapper has accomplices? If his accomplices don't see the kidnappers go back, will it be bad for Lao Qi? Have you thought about all this?"
As she spoke, Ying Ying choked up again. When I saw Yingying's appearance, I really hated Lao Qi, buying a broken painting caused such a turmoil, and when he came back, I must educate him well.
But I'm in a hurry, but Yingying's feelings for Lao Qi made me see it, I was deeply moved, and I was very envious of them.
I have never seen Ying Ying like this, I couldn't help but hug her distressedly, and I didn't subconsciously glance at He Yiyang, who was standing behind Ying Ying and couldn't bear to look at Ying Ying.
Of course, the police uncle can also think of what Ying Ying envisioned, so the captain in charge of this case also came up to comfort Ying Ying for the first time, and said: "Ms. Zhang, please rest assured, we are a team specializing in this kind of case, and we have successfully handled many similar cases, so we will take into account all kinds of outstanding situations, you don't have to worry about this." Please believe in us and the people's police. We will do our best to protect the safety of the hostages. ”
After the policeman's uncle said this, Yingying's mood was obviously much more relaxed, and she slowly sat down on the sofa with me and cooperated with the policeman's work.
After much deliberation, the police advised us to bring what the kidnappers wanted before we could act. Ying Ying also cooperated and agreed.
It's just that the painting is not in Yingying's hands yet, but in the hands of her mother-in-law. In order to prevent the kidnappers from calling again, it was decided that I would stay and wait at home with the police, while He Yiyang accompanied Yingying to pick up the paintings.
As the minutes passed, I began to get more and more nervous, and I waited for nearly two hours, but I never saw Ying Ying and He Yiyang come back.
When I called, the phone went unanswered, and my heart panicked even more, and I couldn't help but think about it. I'm scared of myself, can't something happen to them?
Finally, when I was about to sit still, Ying Ying and He Yiyang came back. It turned out that her mother-in-law fainted immediately when she heard that her son had been kidnapped.
Yingying's father-in-law was not in good health, although he didn't faint like her mother-in-law, but his heart also hurt, so Yingying and He Yiyang could only wait for the ambulance to pick people up before they dared to return with confidence.
The bad news that Ying Ying brought back was not only that, but what was worse was that her mother-in-law exchanged copies of the painting with her old friend yesterday, saying that she would get it back tomorrow.
If she went to get it now, it would definitely be too late, so she had no choice but to take a copy of the one her father-in-law had copied before, hoping that the kidnappers would not see it so quickly.
Just when we were all hoping that things would go smoothly, the kidnappers called again, this time Yingying answered. Her mood was much more stable than before, and she dealt with the kidnappers carefully, cooperating with the police as much as she could.
In fact, I thought that the kidnapper's purpose was just that painting, and it was only because there was no hope of asking for it that I came up with such a trick.
And then there's the guy I've met, who, with my years of observation as a journalist, is a rough guy, and he's a very impulsive rough guy.
It's impossible for a person like this to think everything so thoroughly, so the kidnapping must have been improvised, and he can't have any complicated arrangements.
And the phone call at this moment once again corrected my speculation, he completely thought that there was no one else next to Yingying, and he didn't find that it was two people who answered the phone.
In addition, this person didn't even mention the conditions of the person who went to deliver the painting, let alone repeat what Ying Ying had asked all the time, and deliberately delayed the time and became suspicious.
After the police raised their hands to signal that they had successfully found the location of the kidnappers, Ying Ying breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to hang up the phone, when it suddenly occurred to me that we had not yet confirmed Lao Qi's safety.
So he quickly grabbed Yingying's hand, and said to her in sign language while moving his lips and whispering: "Ask him where Lao Qi is, and say that you have to listen to Lao Qi to give him the painting with confidence." ”
I believe that Ying Ying should be able to understand, and sure enough, after a moment of reaction, Ying Ying nodded knowingly, and asked the kidnappers to listen to Lao Qi's voice.
Although the kidnappers were a little impatient, they agreed to Yingying's request. After hanging up the phone, the police uncle also had good news on his side, that is, it was confirmed that the kidnappers were breaking the power plant.
Then the other purpose I just asked Ying Ying to listen to Lao Qi's voice has been achieved, that is, to make sure that Lao Qi is with the kidnappers, so Lao Qi is in the broken power plant, then our previous plan is feasible.
According to the time said by the kidnappers, I, He Yiyang and Yingying took the painting to the broken power plant first, and then the police secretly followed them.
Soon after the three of us arrived at the gate of the broken power plant, the kidnappers called, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they yelled at Ying Ying viciously: "Didn't you tell you not to play tricks? Why did you bring so many people?"
Ying Ying panicked for a while, and stammered when she spoke, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I directly snatched the mobile phone in Ying Ying's hand and said to the kidnapper: "Why are we playing tricks? My sister was so scared by you that her legs were weak, and she couldn't walk, so my husband and I should send her here." She can't come to anyone, so how can she trade with you? It's a big deal, if only one person goes in. ”
After thinking for a moment, the kidnapper unexpectedly said to me, "Well, then, let your husband who can't speak come in!"
My chest tightened suddenly, and I immediately asked back: "Isn't it better for you to let me go, why did you choose him?"
The kidnapper's voice was already a little nervous, and he replied, "Because he can't speak, he won't interfere with me." If I can't speak, if I find something wrong and he can't shout, there will be no accident. You women are all treacherous and cunning, I don't believe you two women! Quick, hurry, let him come in with the painting and go up to the third floor. ”
This man must have been hurt by a woman, this reason makes me powerless to refute, but as he said, He Yiyang can't speak, if he finds out that this painting is fake, it is not good for He Yiyang and Lao Qi inside, we may really have no way to know outside.
Thinking of this, I resisted the kidnapper's request from the bottom of my heart, but the situation did not allow me to resist, so I could only worry about handing over the painting in Yingying's hand to He Yiyang.
After putting the painting in his hands, I was really reluctant to let go. I looked at He Yiyang with a frown, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
He Yiyang must have seen my concern, so he grabbed my wrist and smiled and nodded to me, then pushed my hand off the scroll.
When He Yiyang was about to go in, I could only pop out of my mouth with three words: "Be careful!"
Ying Ying also expressed her heartfelt thanks to He Yiyang with tears in her eyes.
Looking at the back of He Yiyang slowly walking in, my heart was apprehensive and uneasy. I don't know why, since he entered, a sense of foreboding has been born from his heart.
Soon after He Yiyang entered, I found that the police had also arrived at the scene, lying in ambush behind a weed pile not far away. I approached Yingying, put my arm around his shoulders and comforted, "They'll be fine." ”
This sentence is not so much a consolation as it is a consolation for the two of us. My clenched palms were already sweaty, and my heart was praying over and over again, that both of them would come out safe and sound.
Time passed minute by minute, He Yiyang had been in for ten minutes, and there seemed to be no movement inside, and I felt that this short ten years were as long as ten hours.
Twenty minutes passed, half an hour passed, and there was still no movement inside, and my heart grew more and more flustered as time passed.
I couldn't stand anymore, if it weren't for Ying Ying to stop me, I would have rushed in to see what was going on as soon as my mind was hot. At this moment, Yingying's mobile phone suddenly thought again.
It's a call from the kidnapper, and my heart is gazed, and there must be something wrong inside.
He Yiyang's inner monologue
I'm glad that the kidnappers let me in.
