Chapter 34: Balance
Painstakingly, kidnapping a carload of hostages, just for one result, isn't this smart and what?
But the question is, what are the results and what are the results?
Seeing that Lin Chen and Xing Conglian were deep in thought, Mr. Chairman of Hongjing Expressway couldn't help but ask again: "Lin ...... Mr. Lin, what exactly does kidnapper mean? β
"He probably wanted to say, give you an hour to find out what he wants, otherwise, he will kill people in ninety minutes......" Lin Chen wanted to pick up the teacup, but his hand was held down by the torturer.
"What! Rip the ticket!! In an instant, the chairman only felt that a cold sweat was about to run down his back, "This is simply vicious and mad!" Didn't you say he wouldn't hurt those kids! β
Lin Chen shook his head slightly, evaded this question, and dialed Huang Ze's phone again.
"How's it going?" There was a slight tension in Huang Ze's voice.
"The kidnappers took the initiative to reveal the location, and the dynasty and others will send you the specific location."
"What do you mean by actively exposing your location?"
"He took the initiative to reveal his location because he asked the reporters accompanying you to be there, and then he called me Mr. Jiang." Lin Chen recounted calmly.
"Why did he call you Teacher Jiang?" Huang Ze turned his head to look at Expert Jiang who was sulking in the car, and in a flash of thought, he suddenly understood what Lin Chen meant. In fact, earlier today, when many reporters asked to go on a high-speed interview about the candy thief, he already felt a little strange. Although the case has attracted much attention, the presence of more than a dozen TV station reporters seems to be too trivial.
"I suspect that the kidnappers are afraid that they are taking advantage of Jiang Zhe and tricking these reporters into getting on the highway, for the simple reason that when things are at their β‘β‘, he needs reporters to be present. As for how he used Jiang Zhe, I think it's best for you to have a face-to-face interview with Mr. Jiang. β
Lin Chen's half-joking words made Huang Ze speechless for a while.
"Did the kidnappers ask for anything?" Huang Ze carried the phone and walked towards the police car.
"He wants a result."
"What result?"
"He didn't say."
"So from beginning to end, you still haven't figured out what the kidnappers are demanding?"
Lin Chen glanced at Xing Conglian, and then said, "But I guess that with his ability to plan the layout, he has probably put all the clues in front of us." β
In fact, as for the clues and results, these are not Huang Ze's concerns, what he cares about is only how the case will be solved and whether the results are within the controllable range, so he did not ask any questions about the clues and results, he has already walked to the side of the car: "Sue sΓΉ Punishment Conglian, the Hongjing SWAT Brigade is already halfway through, let him send me the specific location of the kidnapper, and then send a copy to the captain of the SWAT team." β
After Huang Ze finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He looked at the Jiang expert with messy hair sitting in the back seat, bent down, and knocked on the car window.
In the car, Jiang Zhe reluctantly turned his head sideways, and when he saw that it was Inspector Huang, there was a little expectation in his eyes, and Huang Ze took the initiative to open the door and sat in the car.
Huang Ze's words stopped at the last syllable, Lin Chen held the mobile phone and lowered his eyes slightly.
The convict was keenly aware that he was worried: "What did Inspector Huang say? β
"He asked us to send him the coordinates and locations of the kidnappers, as well as the captain of the SWAT team......"
The conversation between the two was very short, and they tacitly did not continue.
The torturer was relieved, and he gently tapped Wang Dynasty's head: "You send the position to Inspector Huang, and then go to the scene to assist Inspector Huang in handling the case." β
"it!" The pen in Wang Dynasty's mouth snapped down, "I have made meritorious contributions to the organization, and the organization can't treat me like this!" β
At this time, Xing Conglian didn't joke with Wang Dynasty anymore, he looked stern and serious: "After you finished dealing with the tracking system, did you confirm where the tourist bus from Fengjing School stopped?" β
"Oh, you wait." Wang Chao said, switching to another window, he compared the results of Fang Cai's phone tracking and positioning with the results of vehicle tracking, "Eh, Ah Chen, the old driver just said that they got off the car after the exit of Yinchuan North, right, it's really an old liar." Wang Chao bit the pen back into his mouth, clicked a few instructions, and then, the screen accurately drove past the lost tourist bus of Fengjing School, and Wang Chao switched to the next high-speed surveillance camera, but the bus no longer appeared.
He glanced at the coordinate parameters between the two monitors, and moved his mouse to a point on the map: "It's 30 kilometers north of Meicun, far from Yuchuan." β
"Okay, you send Huang Ze the range where the missing bus may stop, as well as the specific location of the suspect, and then ask Lao Peng and their SWAT team to send someone to pick you up and go over together." The torturer rubbed his head.
"Was the driver an accomplice of the kidnappers...... Teacher Jiang too? At this moment, the manager of the passenger transport company who had been following the criminal company listened for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.
Xing Conglian didn't answer, and he realized that there was someone in the room who had been following him all the way: "Manager Yang, I'm really sorry, I want to trouble you to go back by yourself." β
After he finished speaking, he simply picked up the car keys.
At this time, Lin Chen also happened to stand up, and almost didn't need words or eye contact, he walked through the door with Xing Conglian, leaving a group of people in the office looking at each other.
βββ
In fact, Jiang Zhe never thought that things would become the way they are now.
He admits that he is a greedy man, he is greedy for money and fame, but he never thinks that he is a bad person, and he never thinks that he will become a so-called accomplice.
But when Huang Ze sat beside him with a blue face, and then closed the car door insurance, he realized that it seemed that things were really out of his control.
"Jiang Zhe, you know that it is not illegal to forge resumes, but I assure you that it is definitely illegal to commit kidnapping in partnership." A person in a position like Huang Ze, of course, would not carry a pair of handcuffs with him like a torturer, but he only needs to cross his legs, keep a face that is not close to anyone, and add a sentence that is heavy enough, it is enough to scare others into urine.
"Huang ...... Inspector Huang ......" When Jiang Zhe spoke, he realized that his voice was trembling slightly, "What did the kidnapper say to Lin Chen?" β
"The kidnapper said, I hope Mr. Jiang will take the reporter to meet him, but the problem is that the person who called is obviously Lin Chen, why would the kidnapper recognize Lin Chen as you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhe finally understood that what he was most afraid of had happened. In fact, from the first time he saw Lin Chen, he had a bad premonition in his heart, and it was precisely because of this premonition that he kept obstructing Lin Chen's participation in this case, because this was a simple matter, it was just a harmless agreement, he helped a borderless organization to complete a certain performance declaration, and the other party would make a declaration to the reporter he brought in the β‘β‘ negotiations, and then he persuaded to release the hostages.
This is such a happy story, he never thought that things would have any variables, although he has never met the other party, but the other party has really kept his promises, and completely according to their scheduled script, except for just now, the person who called was changed to Lin Chen, a qiΔ is very good and smooth. Therefore, the problem is all with Lin Chen, Jiang Zhe thought like this, and still had a trace of fantasy in his heart: "Do you know where the kidnappers took the children, you take me to try it, I can really convince him!" β
Huang Ze just looked at him coldly and didn't say anything more.
βββ
Huang Ze doesn't need to ask, who is he, or what kind of transaction you have made, he just needs to ensure that the incident is properly resolved, and in that so-called safety, it does not include the life safety of the kidnappers.
But Lin Chen had to find that result, because he made an agreement with the young man.
"If there's anything you can't say in front of people, you can say it now." After going downstairs, Xing Conglian did not go to pick up the car immediately, he stood under the camphor tree outside the building, leaned against the tree, and prepared to smoke.
"Has anyone sued you that being too smart is not a good thing."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xing Conglian laughed, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were a little arbitrary and chic: "Just now Chen Dong asked you if he would hurt those children, you didn't answer, but this question is also a little important to me, so I hope to hear your answer." β
Lin Chen's voice was not loud, but he was very sure: "No." β
"How?"
"Have you ever heard of Stockholm syndrome?"
"Some kind of psychological effect of the hostage's affection and even dependence on the kidnappers?" The torturer even thought about it, but he still felt incredible, "That lying old driver, Stockholm?" β
"I just asked Huang Ze to do a quiz, Huang Ze deliberately said to the driver that the special police have found the kidnappers and will quickly kill the kidnappers and rescue the hostages, at that time, the driver panicked, he begged Huang Ze, don't hurt the kidnappers, isn't this Stockholm and what?"
"The little bunny cub is also a little too powerful, in such a short period of time, can the hostages completely trust him and obey him?"
"That's why he's so smart." Lin Chen almost sighed with emotion, "In fact, if it wasn't for the driver lying, I might not have guessed why he robbed the bus and asked for candy again and again?" β
Xing Conglian didn't answer, just looked at him with burning eyes.
"Actually, he's doing the norm."
"Norms?"
"Norm is a concept in psychometric measurement that you can think of as an average of what the general response of most people to a test will be......"
The torture did not frown: "The reason why he keeps hijacking buses is because he wants to assess how most people will react when faced with a hijacker." So, he took the robbery as a psychological test? β
"It's very important to test, then evaluate, and test again. In this cycle, he must make sure that the hijackers not only do not hate him, but also trust him and help him ......"
"It's a little crazy," he opened the cigarette case and found that he had finished smoking, so he stuffed the box back into his pocket: "I admit that he is indeed attractive, he has a good sense ......of humor and good manners, and most people do not think that a teenager who robs candy will cause real harm, but will find him funny and cute...... But just like that, the driver will be willing to lie for him, and the children will be willing to run after him? β
"Charisma and force are of course indispensable for this operation, but above all, to convince the hostages of their reasons." Lin Chen lowered his head, the soil under the roots of the tree was slightly wet, "I guess the result he wants is the reason why he persuaded all the hostages, and this reason must be very heavy, so heavy that everyone is willing to serve him." β
Lin Chen took a deep breath, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a lot of fog in it, wet and cold.
"This matter must not be known to Huang Ze." The decisive voice of the torturer interrupted Lin Chen's thoughts.
The wind blew the dense camphor leaves, and Lin Chen raised his head, very incredible.
"Now, there is a delicate balance between that teenager, us, and Huang Ze." The convict Lian stepped forward and said as he walked, "The young man knows that we are looking for answers, Huang Ze knows that he is restraining the criminals, and we also know that between the two of them, no one dares to act rashly, this is the best balance, but the time left for us to find the answer will be very short." β
Such a summary is very straightforward and clear, and it is worth a thousand words.
Lin Chen looked at the long back of the mixed-race young man, he was very surprised, and he also wanted to ask, Torture Conglian, where did you learn these techniques of restraint and trade-off?
