Chapter 33: Judgment
Lin Chen was speechless for a moment, but it was only for a short time.
Without much emotion or admiration, he stretched out his hand directly to the criminal company: "Call me." ”
Huang Ze almost hung up the phone when he heard the ringtone ring again.
"Huang Ze, my thing, I need you to do it?"
Hearing the peaceful voice coming out of the microphone again, he felt a little ironic, but after the sarcasm, he actually felt a strange sense of reassurance, but the-for-tat confrontation with Lin Chen for several years made him almost subconsciously use a mocking tone: "Oh? When Advisor Lin takes office, will he set fires? ”
Lin Chen's fingers rubbed lightly over the phone, he greeted the torture conglian, and then walked out the door.
"Huang Ze, I need you to do something."
Lin Chen spoke in a low voice, not caring about Huang Ze's taunt, his voice was as calm and clear as ever.
In the parking lot, Huang Ze stood outside the crowd, and when he heard the key point, he raised his head and looked at the bus driver who had been rescued earlier.
Because Huang Ze kept his head down, his face was gloomy, and he was talking to the other end of the phone without knowing anything, so when he suddenly looked up, Jiang Zhe quickly realized that something had happened.
Jiang Zhe saw Huang Ze put the Bluetooth headset back in his pocket, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and grabbed Huang Ze: "Inspector Huang, when do you think the negotiations will start?" ”
Looking at Jiang Zhe's extremely stylish explosive curly hair, Huang Ze felt an indescribable disgusting and sticky feeling in his heart, but there were many media on the scene, and he had to be patient; "Jiang Zhe, you don't need to be involved in this case."
"Inspector Huang, you can't do this, Lin Chen and Xing Conglian are obviously here to steal the credit!" Although he had already felt a change in Huang Ze's attitude in advance, when the verdict was announced, Jiang Zhe only felt nervous and panicked.
Huang Ze took Jiang Zhe's hand and walked towards the driver of the bus, who was sitting on a small chair by the parking lot drinking hot water and being interviewed by some media.
Seeing that Huang Ze seemed to be determined to listen to Lin Chen's words, Jiang Zhe raised his voice suddenly: "Have you forgotten the last time Lin Chen was a negotiator, what happened in the end?"
His voice was very loud, not only successfully stopping Huang Ze, but even the reporters on the side also looked sideways.
Huang Ze turned his head, his police boots were shiny and his police uniform was straight, and he said, "Jiang Zhe, don't you think that I have heard too many of these words?" ”
Huang Ze walked up to the driver, patted the two reporters on the shoulder, and motioned for them to avoid.
The driver raised his head and faced the person who had just risked his life to save him, but there didn't seem to be much gratitude in his eyes: "Mr. Officer, is there anything wrong with you?" He asked.
Huang Ze leaned over slightly, leaned close to the middle-aged driver, and then said, "I want to inform you that the police have located the kidnapper, and the special police are on their way, and they should be able to rescue the hostage soon, please rest assured." ”
Before Huang Ze's words fell, the driver suddenly became nervous, Rao is Huang Ze, and he could also see the flickering meaning in the other party's eyes.
The driver's lips twitched slightly, he thought for a moment, and then asked uneasily, "What will you do to him?" ”
"The SWAT officers we sent are the best snipers, and once they know the kidnapper's movements, they can quickly shoot him!" Huang Ze spoke quickly and looked very indifferent.
"Don't hurt him!" Hearing this, the driver blurted out.
Huang Ze's sharp gaze stayed in the driver's worried gaze, but he didn't say anything more, he straightened up, turned around and walked a few steps, then pressed the headphones and asked, "Did you hear clearly?" ”
"Very clear." Lin Chen paused, didn't hang up the phone immediately, he said, "Huang Ze, thank you." ”
Huang Ze thought, what do you thank me.
―――
Lin Chen hung up the phone and returned to the room, and was surprised to see that the torturer Lian glanced at him. His gaze swept over several people in the office, and finally, landed on the chairman's face.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
The chairman slammed the table: "I'm used to seeing your bureaucratic style, fighting for power and profit, why are you grinding and chirping, why don't you call the kidnappers?" ”
If there is anyone who is most worried that things cannot be solved satisfactorily, it is probably Mr. Chairman of Hongjing Expressway, after all, he is the main and direct person in charge of this expressway, and he has delayed the work of the police before, at this moment, he is more anxious and impatient than anyone else.
Lin Chen sighed slightly, turned around, poured another half cup of hot water on the side of the water dispenser, and handed it to the chairman.
He said, "Please relax. ”
It was probably because Lin Chen was too calm, or someone was born to calm people's hearts, the chairman subconsciously put his hand on the paper cup he had just handed over, and the cup was also printed with the words Hongjing High-speed Commemorative Words, he raised his head again, and his tone was slightly softened.
"Actually, the kidnappers wanted us to call him in the hope that after the hostage crisis and the bomb crisis, we would become nervous and anxious, so that it would be easier for him to manipulate and agree to his offer." Lin Chen returned to the sofa chair, and Wang Chao consciously moved a vacant seat for him, "However, the initiative is very important, if, after we find out his message, let him become the one who waits, he will also have the same emotional experience." ”
The chairman was a little embarrassed: "I'm a little anxious, but even if he is like me, it won't do any good, what if he is in a hurry and hurts the child?" ”
Lin Chen lowered his eyes slightly, he unlocked his phone, looked at the time and battery, and said, "First of all, I want to wait for him to speak first, and secondly, he won't." ”
Lin Chen's tone was very light, and he didn't say anything more, he pressed the string of numbers that he had already memorized, and then looked at the technician beside him.
Wang Chao told Lin Chen how to turn on the phone recording function, tested the tracking and positioning system again, and then handed Lin Chen a headset.
Lin Chen nodded, and gave half of the earphones to the criminal police captain beside him.
The headphone cable was not long, he was very close to Xing Conglian, he brought the microphone that came with the headset to his lips, and for convenience, Xing Conglian turned his head sideways and stuck closer to him.
The warm breath came from the side of his face, and with the smell of clean mint tobacco, Lin Chen stabilized his breath and pressed the call button.
Honk...... Honk......
The waiting tone came again and again, and after ringing five times in a row, the phone was connected.
There was silence inside and outside the headphones, and then the sound of soft and slow breathing gradually sounded.
Lin Chen didn't speak, he was waiting.
So, the kidnapper spoke.
The voice was soft and polite, as if he were a noble son of a good family and elegant manners, without the violent air that a kidnapper should have.
He said, "Mr. Jiang, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
The torturer Lian opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Chen, his eyes were full of incredulity, and he suddenly understood what Lin Chen meant by waiting for the other party to speak first. People will become nervous and anxious while waiting, and people who are nervous and anxious are also the most likely to make mistakes.
Lin Chen didn't even breathe disordered, he didn't seem to care about the title exposed by the kidnapper, he didn't admit it, he didn't deny it, he just pinched the microphone on the headphone cable, smiled slightly, and his voice was very light and peaceful: "Hello." ”
On the other end of the phone, a chuckle came, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"I need to be well prepared before I talk to you." Lin Chen simply resolved the other party's doubts, just like face-to-face, saying a very ordinary word.
"How's the taste of Swiss sugar?" The young man on the other end of the phone asked with a smile.
"Before I could taste it, the candy was packed and sent to the exhibits." Lin Chen said with a smile.
"That's a shame, the lemon-flavored Swiss sugar is so good, I think you should try it."
"That's a good idea." Lin Chen's fingers lightly wrapped half a circle of earphone cables, and then spoke: "It's a little cold, have you eaten at noon?" ”
"Haha, I ate the snacks brought by the children." The young man laughed and said, "Teacher Jiang, you actually want to ask, where are we?" ”
"Then would it be convenient for you to sue me?" Lin Chen didn't care about such a slight provocation at all, he followed the topic and asked very casually.
"Hey, you negotiate with the kidnappers, don't you use phone tracking, if you triangurate the base station, you should soon know where I am, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen glanced at the torture conglian, who had already come to the computer, and then he ghostly moved the computer screen to Lin Chen, and the tracking red dot on the screen had stabilized, and clearly showed that the kidnappers were in the reeds that covered the sky and the sun next to the Hongjing Expressway at this time.
Even Lin Chen was a little surprised, but before he could speak, a soft and immature girl voice like a marshmallow suddenly came from the other end of the phone, the girl seemed to be reading something, her voice stumbled, but it was very clear and serious: "Uncle, I hope you will bring the results to me within ninety minutes." ”
The soft voice turned around in Lin Chen's ears, so sweet that he almost pulled out the fine sugar threads, Lin Chen turned the earphone cable again, and did not ask what the result was, he approached the microphone and said lightly: "Let's make an agreement." ”
"What agreement?"
"I'll bring you what you want, but please also make sure the children are safe." Lin Chen's voice was very serious and solemn, and the smile on his lips disappeared.
"Teacher Jiang seems to be confident?" On the other end of the line, there was a slight laugh.
"Not really." Lin Chen sat up straight, his back straight, "I just think it's ......"
"What do you think?" The boy seemed to think it was funny and couldn't help but ask.
"I think that you live a miserable life, and people with a conscience and a moral bottom line always live a more miserable life."
The young man on the other end of the phone didn't seem to expect to hear such an answer, and he was quiet for a while before he spoke again: "Teacher Jiang, I suddenly feel that I am going to be impressed by you." As if to calm his mind, he seemed to open some kind of wrapper, then stuffed the candy into his mouth, and said as he chewed: "Then I'll see you in 90 minutes, please bring those journalist friends with you." ”
After speaking, he hung up the phone easily, and Lin Chen seemed to hear the sound of a flying kiss on the other end of the phone.
"Teacher Jiang, Jiang Zhe?" The torturer took off his earbuds and tapped his slender knuckles on the countertop, "No wonder so many reporters are here today." ”
"I guess it's been used." Lin Chen moved his hand to the still warm water cup and sighed softly, "What a smart child." ”
