Autumn in Ningxi is as dry and direct as ever, with a familiar smell in the air that is unique to a small town, but not as warm as a summer day.

"I'm a little hungry, let's find a place to eat, and by the way, sort out the things that have been analyzed." Lin Fan looked at the deep sky above his head, and unconsciously felt a sense of disdistance and unreality.

"Where are you going?" Xin Chen took advantage of the night to get closer to Lin Fan.

"That place last night, I'm already loving the vibe."

"Fuck off, you." Although Xin Chen scolded Lin Fan, he quickly stopped a taxi, "Master, go to the Yuhuashi Restaurant in the High-tech Zone." ”

The same time, the same two people, the same waiter: "Do you two still want a witch's conditional package and a Roman holiday package?" ”

Lin Fan laughed, "You really treat us two as pigs, just have a witch's condition, the Roman holiday is over today." "It's a day trip to the train station, and you're embarrassed to say it's a Roman holiday." Xin Chen glared at Lin Fan, turned around and stroked the hair around his ear, "Just listen to him." ”

Since it was already past dinner time, there were not many people in the restaurant, Lin Fan and Xin Chen sat in a dim position in the corner, the ambiguous light flowing, making them look like a sweet couple with countless topics in love, and they couldn't talk about it, only they knew how inconsistent the topic at the moment was with the atmosphere around them.

"The case is not easy to sort out, and it may score several aspects, so let's restore it in chronological order first.

On the night of June 13, Gu Yanran and Xu Man were kidnapped, and I happened to be involved.

Doubt 1 arises here: If the kidnappers are trying to make money against Tiancheng's daughter, why did they kidnap Gu Yanran and me, who have nothing to do with it?

Then the three of us were locked up in a complex building of an abandoned steel mill in the western suburbs of Ningxi, where the kidnappers had a clear division of labor, some demanded ransom, some were responsible for contact, and some were responsible for guarding.

Doubt 2 arises here: What news are the kidnappers waiting for, this news may be related to the ransom but it may not matter, because some of the kidnappers don't seem to care about the ransom at all, but they care more about whether they can touch Gu Yanran, so that news seems to be able to decide Gu Yanran's fate!

At the same time, the kidnappers made contact with the Xu family, and the police also intervened.

Doubt 3 arises here: This case involves the mayor's daughter, why did Fang Ping dare to put forward bold assumptions and suggestions, and what is the connection between this and the kidnappers' quick promise to extend the time and the "equivalent exchange" that he said?

Furthermore, why did he imply that I might be the breakthrough in the case? Is there any strange connection with the kidnappers kidnapping me as an unrelated person? ”

"Wait." Xin Chen interjected, "Are you still suspicious of the Fang team? ”

Lin Fan nodded, "No way, he has to make me suspicious, I even suspect that there are other people above him!" ”

"No, it won't." Xin Chen looked at Lin Fan in surprise. "Listen to me first." Lin Fan continued: "Based on the above three points, I have that bold inference, that is, the kidnapping plan is aimed at Gu Yanran, and I may be a chess piece on their chessboard that can be planted and disturbed by the other party, so that the above points can be explained." ”

Lin Fan didn't tell Xin Chen that his reborn prophetic foresight was the main basis for such a judgment, but these conditions were enough to constitute this speculation.

The waiter served a few dishes very well, Lin Fan paused for a while, and motioned to Xin Chen to eat while saying, "Next, I took Gu Yanran and Xu Man to escape there, but I accidentally ran into the kidnappers who drove after him."

Doubts arise here: Why did he signal Gu Yan but no one else sat in the co-pilot, and what kind of place he said about Wangjia Village, it seems that it is not far from the abandoned steel mill in the western suburbs, and the most important thing is his mobile phone, who is he contacting!

Next, according to the kidnapper's normal plan, he should call Xu Tiancheng again at the agreed moment to pay the ransom, and then ask him to throw the ransom out of the window when he is about to reach a certain location.

And this location should be the railway bridge we judged, close to the national highway, not far from Wangjia Village, I guess they must be familiar with that area. ”

While Xin Chen was thinking, Lin Fan hurriedly took a big gulp and began to sweep the dishes in front of him.

Xin Chen took over the conversation: "Since you escaped, their plan failed, and the key evidence, the mobile phone, was taken back, and they happened in order to protect themselves. ”

"Well, as soon as we found Wu Xing after that, Wu Xing committed suicide, although there is no flaw at all, don't you think this time is too weird? It was as if someone was watching us from behind, knowing where we had come. Lin Fan nodded, his expression became serious: "So this time we found Wangjia Village, we can't be like last time." ”

"What's like last time?" Xin Chen frowned, "You said you found the king?" ”

Lin Fan's eyes flickered, "I hope my guess is wrong, it's just that this case is afraid that it has jumped out of the range that we can accept, so I have to be cautious." “

"What do you mean?" Xin Chen looked at Lin Fan suspiciously.

"Xu Man's birthday party happened two days ago, do you know?"

"I heard, it seems to be a chandelier accident, there are no casualties, and now when it comes to that incident, everyone thinks of heroes saving beauty, what's wrong, you're not happy to steal your limelight?" Xin Chen smiled.

"Well, don't make fun of me, seriously, that accident was not that simple, it was directed and acted by the Qiao family." Lin Fan lowered his tone, "I don't know what their purpose is, but I have a faint bad feeling. ”

"Written and directed?" Xin Chen was surprised: "No, maybe it's just a means to win the girl's favor?" Wouldn't it be too complicated? ”

"I hope so, too." Lin Fan sighed, but knew in his heart that it was impossible.

"It's okay, if it really rises to such a high level, then let's meet Gu Shunping, after all, as you speculate, those are all actions against him or his daughter, right?"

Seeing that Lin Fan was a little hesitant for a while, Xin Chen continued: "I know that you are worried about the lack of substantive evidence, and I am afraid that Gu Shunping will not believe you, it's okay, let's check it first, what is the result, I can ask my grandfather to come forward to help me make an appointment with him, don't trouble Gu Yanran over there." ”

"Well, that's fine." Lin Fan nodded and thought for a while, "I'm afraid that Wangjia Village is a monolith, and if the kidnappers are really hiding there, it will be difficult for me to go over, if you ask someone to investigate, it will inevitably leak the news, so the safest plan at this stage is to break through from the Wu Xing suicide case." ”
