35. Ransom Plan
Lin Fan felt a little guilty for a while, this elopement was still for the purpose of investigating the case in the final analysis, Xin Chen beside him had already guessed it after looking at the notebook:
"You bought the train at ten o'clock last night, and the set of rhetoric explained was all made up, it turned out that it was mainly to correspond to the kidnapper's time, so that I could be happy in vain, hey, forget it, for the sake of you investigating the case, I will forgive you, but you have to explain it all to me!"
"I don't mean to hide it from you, I'm a little hesitant to tell you, after all, some are not sure." Lin Fan scratched his head, "Now let's take the return train that goes back during the day, just enough to re-verify the surrounding environment, last night the vision was not good, and I couldn't see clearly." ”
After a quick meal at the S City Railway Station, this non-stop elopement began with a different meaning of the return trip.
Outside the window, the vast wheat fields were already bright, and the early autumn wind whistled in through the cracks in the car windows.
Lin Fan leaned against the window, his thoughts beating along the trajectory of the train.
He took out the mineral water and poured it vigorously, "You should be able to understand something about my notebook, I pushed back the whole kidnapping case, and thought of a few points, the most important of which is how to lay out the mastermind behind the scenes so that the kidnappers can easily get the ransom without being caught."
"Is it to disturb the police's attention through the crowded train station?" Xin Chen raised his head.
"You can say that, but it's not all, the ransom payment place demanded by the kidnappers at that time was the railway station, where there were a lot of sects and sects, and it was inconvenient for the police to control it, but the fundamental reason why they arranged it was not to pay the ransom there, but to hollow out all the police force, so as to facilitate their next plan!"
"Train plans?" Xin Chen frowned, thinking of those train route maps, as well as the train they took at ten o'clock last night, "I can also guess something from the analysis in your notebook, they should suddenly call Xu Tiancheng at the last moment of delivery to change the location and let him take the nearest train!" ”
Xin Chen recalled carefully for a while, "At that time, the center of gravity of the team's control was all around the train station, and a sudden change would definitely disrupt our plans, and there would definitely be very few police officers who would take the train with Xu Tiancheng at that time!" ”
"Well, their first step plan is to jump out of the police control circle first, so as to facilitate their second step plan." Lin Fan nodded, "And this can also create an illusion, that is, the police are already working hard to investigate, but the kidnappers are too cunning and change too fast." ”
"I also guessed the second step plan you speculated, although it wasn't written in your notebook." Xin Chen turned his head to look at Lin Fan, "Bridges and highways?"
After all, the train is a closed space, and the kidnappers will not be stupid enough to choose to trade here, and after boarding the train, the police will focus their attention on guessing which station the kidnappers will ask Xu Tiancheng to get off the train. ”
"Yes, that's why the kidnappers specifically demanded the ransom to be placed." Lin Fan took over, "After all, five million is not a small number. ”
"So you guess they will choose a bridge, or a place closer to the highway for Xu Tiancheng to throw the ransom out of the train window, the former is not conducive to the police investigation, and the latter is conducive to their departure." Xin Chen thought for a moment, "Then how did the kidnappers determine where the train arrived, there must be accomplices on the train." ”
"If someone informs you, it doesn't have to be an accomplice, but it could be someone from your team." Lin Fan frowned, "But a more secure way is for them to wait for the rabbit in the chosen position." ”
Lin Fan took out the GPS in his backpack and handed it to Xin Chen, "I speculated on a few of the most likely locations, entered their coordinates into the GPS, and then observed them by taking the same train, and there are some records of these locations in my notebook." ”
"Well, I've seen it all, but you focused on marking this railway bridge next to Provincial Highway 10X, why?" Xin Chen glanced at Lin Fan.
"First of all, this brings together the two elements you just mentioned, there is a bridge to facilitate concealment, there is a highway around to facilitate the carrying of the ransom and leave quickly, and this is not far from the station in front, and the speed of the train has not yet been raised, which is conducive to their observation, and the most important reason," Lin Fan drank all the water in the mineral water bottle in one breath, and then continued:
"Because that time, after I rescued Gu Yanran and Xu Man, I met the man who was driving, and I asked him the destination after getting in the car," Lin Fan paused, and the cold knife light made him still a little scared when he remembered it, "He mentioned a place called Wangjia Village, many people didn't pay attention to this, but I noticed that Wangjia Village is not far from this railway bridge!" ”
"What do you mean?" Xin Chen thought of some kind of possibility that could drive through the clouds and fog, "They could be there?" ”
Lin Fan nodded, but his tone was still a little uncertain, "I'm just speculating, I may have to take a look at it on the spot." ”
Autumn wheat fields beat the yellowish sun overhead, beating the speeding train in the wind.
All the way to the east, there was a constant sound outside the door, but there was silence in the box.
The men and women who had a tacit understanding had no idea of talking again, and both of them were staring carefully out the window, and they were quickly recording under their hands.
Not long after, Lin Fan turned his head and happened to meet Xin Chen's gaze raised from his notebook.
Looking at each other, Xin Chen said complainingly: "I said earlier that it would be good to bring a camera." ”
"In this kind of high-speed movement, it is impossible to shoot without professional equipment with a point-and-shoot camera." Lin Fan said.
The calf was sturdy again, "I mean bring a professional SLR!" Xin Chen finally found a place to be angry, in fact, it was impossible for her not to be angry, the romantic elopement she thought had finally turned into a boring case investigation, although she was full of understanding, but this sudden plot development had to be digested by anyone for a while.
"Okay, it's all up to me," Lin Fan rubbed his calves and looked out the window, "It's almost time to get to Ningxi." ”
"Well," Xin Chen stretched, "but your parents are so relieved that you come out with me." ”
"Because I say good things about you to them every day, it is necessary to prepare for entering the door in advance." Lin Fan smiled proudly.
"Go die," Xin Chen glared at Lin Fan fiercely, and then said; "Okay, stop kidding, get down to business, don't act rashly these days, I'll find someone to find out the bottom of Wangjia Village first, and see what the situation is at that time."
"Okay, it's all up to you, I'm your follower now, and you're completely Kobe Miwako's fan now." Lin Fan laughed slowly, but he faintly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart about the future investigation.
