Chapter 40: Humbert Humbert VII
The children in the car were in a mess, some screamed "Teacher drive quickly", and some cried and called "Teacher Hu", the knife-wielding gangster's eyes were bloodshot, and a knife stabbed into Hu Lingling's lower abdomen, Hu Lingling has lived all her life to the present, smooth and steady, no disaster and no disease, never knew that there was such pain in the world, her hands and feet were out of force, and the whole person instinctively curled up, just looking at the minibus parked next to her, hoping that the car door could be closed at this moment and escape safely.
The key is inserted in the car without wind automatic, the gangster seems to forget to snatch it over, the driver holds the shifter, as long as he presses a button to close the door, he has long driving experience, high car skills, one second can hang up the gear, from the empty mountain road dust......
But no.
The driver, Han Jiang, looked frightened, but he just sat in the cab and didn't move, and yelled at the gangster: "Stop!" β
At this time, Hu Lingling was speechless, her eyes were red in a hurry, and she shook her head desperately at Han Jiang, wanting to tell him to leave herself alone, and then she heard the next sentence from the loyal and honest man: "Didn't you say that you only need money, you fucking make a human life, how will it end when the time comes!" β
Hu Lingling finally realized something, and a bone-deep coolness crawled up her spine.
At this moment, no one noticed that the curtain in the corner moved slightly, and the girl in the floral dress took advantage of the chaos to get into the curtain, and she took advantage of the cover of the curtain to close the open window, like a kitten with thin arms and legs, silently drilled through the window and jumped to the ground.
The gangster's attempt to commit murder was interrupted by Han Jiang, who threw the knife to the driver quite dissatisfied, bent down and grabbed Hu Lingling's hair, and punched and kicked her as if he was relieved.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to this cruel scene, and the girl's footsteps were muffled by the sound of the howling wind and rain and the screams of the woman, and the starless night became her friend, and the girl avoided the headlights and ran out in spite of it.
The mountain road is rugged, there are no signs, no lights, no living creatures, the rocks and the crooked trees are like monsters hidden in the shadows, the girl can't tell the direction, and she doesn't dare to look back, she is frightened when she hears her footsteps, and she always feels that the monster with the knife is chasing after her.
No one had taught her what to do in such a situation in the wilderness, so she could only keep running forward-
Suddenly, a car light flashed in front of the girl, she was terrified, at this moment, people and ghosts frightened her, in a panic, the girl kicked a stone under her feet, she flew sideways, and finally accidentally screamed.
The sound of brakes sounded on one side, and the girl's ears roared, and her muscles stiffened.
At this time, she heard a very crisp and tender voice say, "Daddy, is it a small animal?" Is it a sheep? β
The childish voice woke up the bizarre nightmare, and the girl who escaped was so panicked that her heart jumped violently, and she heard the sound of squirming footsteps, and her eyes widened to see a man with an umbrella coming to her.
He's clean and clean, and he certainly doesn't look like a bad guy.
The girl cried and said, "Uncle, help! β
Her little dress covered with broken flowers was stained with muddy water, her knees were scratched, her little toenails were lifted by stones, and blood flowed, and the man looked at her for a moment, and picked her up very gently.
The girl's sturdy defence was shattered in front of another child, and in extreme fear, she unwisely trusted the stranger who suddenly appeared in the middle of nowhere.
"There was a bad guy who hijacked our car, he had a knife, and he stabbed our teacher, just in front, uncle......"
The man's steps were very light, as if he was afraid of being alarmed by something, and he raised an index finger in his hand holding the umbrella.
"Shhhh β
The girl followed his line of sight, and the half-rolled down window revealed the face of a young girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, with a pair of pigtails, plump cheeks, a pair of sly and beautiful eyes, and lips that were bright cherry red, as if she had secretly used an adult's lipstick.
Smile like a flower.
In the brightly lit off-road bike club, a large group of gentlemen each held their mobile phones and began to inquire about the grapevine.
"I'm not very familiar with this neighborhood," Fei Du stood in front of the map of Xiling District, and turned back to ask the owner of the "Death Club", "Are there any other settlements or activity venues nearby besides here?" β
"Xiling's plan back then was the back garden of Yancheng, focusing on high-end leisure and entertainment," the boss said, "In addition to us, there is also a winery with a golf course and an equestrian club nearby, and several natural villages have been moved to the county town to let them 'go upstairs' - but looking at the weather today, there may not be many people on either side." β
"Oh," Fei Du nodded, "and if the police call later, you will let me pick it up." β
The club owner had a question mark on his head: "Calling?" Why did the police give me ......"
Before he finished speaking, the phone at the front desk rang, and the girl who happened to be playing the piano next to her freed up her hand, hooked the phone, and lazily put it to her ear: "Hey, Xishan Cross-Country Club...... Boss, this guy says he's a cop! β
The police acted extremely quickly, and at this time they were already approaching the location of the kidnappers.
Judging from the satellite, the kidnappers chose a very small place, surrounded by open space, once the SWAT team approached, it was easy to be detected, and the minibus had curtains on it, and the robber was holding a group of children in his hands, he nested in the car, as long as the curtains were drawn, the sniper had no choice.
As the minutes passed, the police tried to dial the phone number, but it showed that the phone had been turned off.
After ten o'clock in the night, the heavy rain finally died down and calmed down, Tao Ran and they rushed to the residence of Han Jiang, the driver of one of the suspects, overnight, and checked the person to the bottom.
"Han Jiang used to open a large number of goods, but he got into the problem of 'playing cards', lost more than 100,000 yuan a year, and was fired from the team because of the delay in playing cards, and broke up his wife. Later, he was honest for a while, asked someone to find a job in a car rental company, and settled down for a few years, and then somehow, he played mahjong again, and was targeted by a gambling gang, and lost his family and lost his family, not to mention that he owed more than one million loan sharks. β
"No wonder you have to take a risk," Lang Qiao pressed his headphones, "What about the other person, do you have a clue?" In addition to being a bad gambler, Han Jiang doesn't even seem to have squatted in the 'little black house', even if he wants to go crooked, he may not dare to be so energetic as soon as he comes up, and the mastermind who planned this matter must have a criminal record. β
"There is one," Tao Ran said, "I have already sent you the photo, this person's name is Han Chengzheng, male, twenty-nine years old, a distant relative of Han Jiang, who has been imprisoned twice for robbery with a knife and deliberately wounding people, and has just been released recently, and came to Yancheng to find a job, and often goes to Han Jiang to eat and drink." This person said that he was looking for a job, but in fact, he had been idle since he came, had several conflicts with people, often walked around with machetes, and the neighbors around him avoided him - yesterday evening, Han Cheng was renting a tattered car, and set off early in the morning, I don't know where he went, most of them were the kidnappers. β
"I don't know if it's a similar smell or a gathering of likes," Luo Wenzhou's voice came out of the earphones, "Han Jiang is married?" Have children? How old are the children, male and female? β
"The boy, nine years old, has moved to another place with the previous period, and because of Han Jiang's gambling addiction, his ex-wife does not let the child contact him. The car rental company has a long-term agreement with Sixteen, he comes over every time there is an event, and is familiar with the teachers who often organize activities in the school, and the teachers treat him as half a school worker, this person is usually loyal and honest, has a gentle temperament, and also likes children, no one thought that he would do such a thing. β
"Got it, pay attention to the negotiation team," Luo Wenzhou quickly came up with an idea after a pause, "When the kidnapper called for the first time, judging from the reaction of the teacher who led the team at the time, he should not have known that Han Jiang and the kidnapper were colluding, and there must be trust between her and the driver, so unless it is a special situation, Han Jiang may not want to expose himself, he is likely to be forced by loan sharks to do this kind of thing, and he should also have a certain amount of sympathy for the child." And the other kidnapper should be the leader of this kidnapping and extortion, he has a criminal record, he is a hopeless habitual offender, he can do anything, the two of them have the same interests now, but the relationship cannot be too strong, and they can be divided......"
"Boss," Lang Qiao interrupted him suddenly, "call!" The kidnappers called! β
Luo Wenzhou: "Attention departments. β
When the sentence fell, everyone stood up, everyone put on headphones, and the negotiation team was already in place.
The second call was exactly an hour after the previous one, and the negotiator picked up the phone, but instead of the female teacher who spoke in a fierce male voice: "Is the money ready?" β
Everyone's hearts sank.
The negotiator paused: "What about the female teacher just now?" β
The man's heavy wheezing voice could be heard on the phone, and the negotiator added: "Several of our parents have scraped together more than three million in cash, and my wife is rushing here with the money, and the rest must be raised as much as possible, without us we can still borrow it, but you can't go back on your word and hurt people!" β
The man on the other end of the phone laughed: "Oh, you guys went so obediently to raise money, and you didn't call the police?" β
The police officer of the negotiation team raised his head and silently asked for instructions with his eyes, and Lang Qiao next to him held down the headset and quickly conveyed Luo Wenzhou's instructions on the handwriting board: "Habitual offender, tell the truth." β
"Report ...... It's reported," said the negotiating officer in a somewhat flustered voice, "before you contacted us...... You...... You didn't say you couldn't ......"
"Oh, what about the police?"
"The public security bureau of Xiling County said that they would ask the city bureau, and the city bureau said that they would be able to come over for at least an hour, and we really couldn't wait, so we could only raise money and prepare for it first, you ...... You must not hurt the child. β
After hearing this, the gangster on the other end of the phone was quite proud: "I told you a long time ago that it was useless to count on those wastes." β
Probably hearing that the money was almost in place, the robber thought about it and said in a slightly relaxed tone: "Okay, let you say something to your little cub, what is his name?" β
A note was handed over to him, and the negotiator glanced at it quickly: "Chen Hao, I'm Chen Hao's father, please let me talk to him." β
There was a sneer on the phone, and after a while, the boy's crying voice came: "Daddy, Daddy! β
The police officers in the negotiation team next to him gestured to each other - the child was frightened, but it sounded like he had not been physically harmed for the time being.
"Haohao, don't be afraid, are you with other children?" The negotiator on the wiring tried to make sure that the other hostages were safe, "You have to be brave, you have to set an example for the other children, don't you?" β
The boy replied vaguely, but before he could reply, the kidnapper had already snatched the phone: "Don't talk nonsense, you heard it too, don't do superfluous things, we don't need to deliver food, we don't need to deliver water, don't expect the police to take the opportunity to get in, hurry up and raise money, if you have money, your son's life will be born." β
The negotiator frowned and shook his head at his colleagues, and Lang Qiao withdrew the plan of "find a way to send someone closer", and raised his hand to make a "plan two" gesture at him.
"Wait, can you ...... Can I talk to the teacher in the car, the child is so scared - any teacher can do it! β
Listening to the saying "any teacher can be", the other side of the phone sneered strangely.
Then, a low, somewhat cringing male voice came, "Hey. β
It's Han Jiang!
"Teacher, I'...... I'm Chen Hao's father," the negotiator suppressed his voice, making his words sound a little pleading, "Teacher, I know it's selfish, but you...... Do you have children of your own? Can you understand? β
There was silence for a while: "...... I have. β
"Teacher, please take care of the child no matter what, we will try our best to find a way to deal with the money, it doesn't matter if the family is bankrupt, as long as the child is fine. We are all parents, you must know how we feel as parents, and I know that your situation is also very difficult...... Your child should be about the same age as Haohao, right? Think about him, we can't be on the scene, we can only ask you to take care of it for us, it doesn't matter if you are a little frightened, don't get hurt, please! β
This time, Han Jiang was silent for a longer time, and his tone suddenly became less steady: "I...... I'll do my best to ......"
Han Jiang's voice fell, and a huge roar suddenly sounded halfway up the mountain in the distance, and the explosion-like heavy metal music was unobstructed in the quiet night, and the dazzling lights were lit up, followed by whistles and screams.
The kidnapper immediately blew up, grabbed a knife and grabbed the phone: "Who is it, the police?" You deceive! Don't you want the lives of those little cubs! β
The panicked explanation on the other side of the phone: "No, no, no ......"
At the same time, a sweet and greasy female voice came from the loudspeaker: "Don't coax the babies, get in the car, the 'Death Plug' just now has run down, can the handsome guys still let you have an accident?" β
The whistle sounded through the loudspeaker almost turning over the ground within a radius of ten miles, colored lasers scurried all over the mountain, and in the lights, several arrogant modified sports cars appeared in the mountains, as if the huge shadow of the door that was about to take off was skillfully projected by the lights onto the mountainside not far away.
Han Jiang grabbed the kidnapper's hand holding the knife: "There is an off-road club nearby, didn't you check it before you came, you calm down!" β
The kidnappers were furious: "Go away! How come it so happened that they happened to be here? β
The negotiator on the phone exclaimed: "We really don't know, you can change places, the money will be there soon, don't hurt the children, teacher!" Teacher! Teacher! β
Three consecutive "teachers" were like a sharp needle, picking at Han Jiang's nerves.
Children in school sometimes can't tell the difference between school staff and outsourced staff, especially the younger ones, and when they meet adults in school, they call them "teacher", and those children usually call him that.
Han Jiang pressed his accomplice with both hands, and hurriedly said in his ear: "Do you hear, the money is almost here, and you are just one step away, do you have to make a difference at this time?" You look up, is it like a police car, they are running on a mountain road, they don't plan to come at all, a few shadows will scare you to pee, what can you do! β
The kidnapper followed his gaze and seemed persuaded by him, his hand holding the knife relaxed slightly.
Han Jiang: "I ran a little cub just now, it's not safe here, I'm going to drive and change places." β
The sound of the rich second generation of drag racing cars dancing with demons is full of zΓ i, like a shadow, the howling sports car huge engine roared around the mountain road, although the distance was very far, and there was no intention of approaching, but it almost surrounded the place where the bus was located, and the drumbeat of the dance music smashed on the chests of the two kidnappers, and they had to withdraw from the original open space and drive in the only direction away from the noise.
Luo Wenzhou's voice came from Lang Qiao's earphones: "The target vehicle has been forced into the sniper range, find a way to make them stop." β
On the bus, the kidnapper's mobile phone that he didn't have time to turn off suddenly rang, and the parent said incoherently on the phone: "The money has arrived, cash, but it is only more than three million, and we are still trying to make ......up the rest."
The sound of the music is getting farther and farther away, but the drum beat is getting faster and faster, which tickles people's nerves one by one, and people are more and more panicked when they hear it.
The knife-wielding robber roared loudly: "No, no one is missing!" β
Han Jiang stepped on the brakes: "It's almost okay, the two of us are fifty-five, and it's not a lot for one person to get more than one million, don't drag it to the police!" β
"I want five million!"
Negotiator on the phone: "We've really done our best, teacher, think about your own children, those are all children, teacher, please!" β
Han Jiang's forehead was bruised.
"If I don't have five million, I'll kill all these little cubs, anyway, Lao Tzu has been in prison, what's the big deal if I go in again."
Han Jiang picked up the machete thrown to him by Fang Cai's accomplice: "Lao Tzu doesn't want to go to jail!" β
The two men panted like bullfights, and after a while, the kidnapper stared at Han Jiang coldly: "Uncle, do you regret it?" β
Han Jiang didn't say anything with a wooden face, and he really regretted it.
The kidnapper suddenly laughed sadly, raised his hand and handed him the phone: "Okay, listen to you, let's accept it when we see it." β
Han Jiang hesitated for a moment, and then took the phone expressionlessly: "In this way, you find someone to send, and you want someone, preferably a woman, and the location is ......."
Before he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed in front of him, and the screams of the children exploded in his ears, Han Jiang subconsciously turned sideways, but he couldn't completely dodge, and the blade of his accomplice had already inserted / into his lower abdomen.
Han Jiang roared, instinctively resisted under the severe pain, and threw himself at the other party, the kidnapper took a step back, hit the car door with his back, and twisted the handle of the machete fiercely, and at this moment, he was exposed to the glass door without a curtain, and was firmly pressed by Han Jiang's body.
A bullet broke through the window and hit the kidnapper in the back of the headβ
Hidden sirens and ambulances filled the night sky.
Half an hour later, Luo Wenzhou cleaned up the scene, and came to the halfway point of the mountainside where the music shook the sky, and saw Fei Du leaning on a car from afar, his shirt was unbuttoned, from his chest to his lower abdomen, the tattoos were black and white, and the tips of the hair on the back of his head were still dripping.
There is no need for props and sets, just the station he himself goes, which gives people the feeling of a wine pond and meat forest for no reason.
Luo Wenzhou's intention was originally above board, but at this time, his eyes swept over his half-naked chest, and he suddenly became embarrassed for no reason, and he coughed dryly with a little itchy throat: "Thank you today." β
Fei Du took half a glass of champagne from the girl next to him, and raised his glass to him from afar: "You're welcome, you can act in your true colors." β
Luo Wenzhou: "......"
Inexplicably, I didn't like him again.
"Team Luo," at this time, Lang Qiao came in with a phone call, interrupting the strange atmosphere, and she said breathlessly, "There is one less child!" β
