Chapter 100: A Clever Strategy
At that time, Su Lan was so frightened at home that she had no master, so she immediately called Song Chi. After Song Chi received the call, he rushed to Su Lan's house without saying a word.
"What to do? The kidnappers came to demand ransom again, but he still wouldn't let us call the police, I was really scared. Su Lan said in a panic.
Song Chi comforted Su Lan a few words as usual, then thought for a while and said, "Su Lan, I think this kidnapper is a little strange. I suspect that their purpose is not for money, maybe there are other purposes. ”
"Not for the money? Is it for revenge? Su Lan asked anxiously.
Song Chi continued: "Don't worry, listen to what I have to say." I found this thing, there are 3 strange places. If you kidnap a person first, if it's for money, you will definitely be notified of the ransom immediately after the kidnapping. Otherwise, the longer it takes, the easier it will be for the kidnappers to be exposed. However, you did not receive a call from the kidnappers until the sixth day. In fact, the kidnappers extorted 500,000 yuan for the first time, and it increased to 1 million just now, but this money is a drop in the bucket for Zhenbang Group, which has assets of more than 1 billion! ”
"I think it's a little strange to hear you say that. 1 million is really a trivial amount of money for the Cao family...... Could it be that the kidnappers don't know Cao Mingxuan's identity? Su Lan asked.
Song Chi shook his head and replied, "If you don't know Cao Mingxuan's identity, how can the kidnappers kidnap him?" And even if the kidnappers called, they didn't mention the way of the deal at all, except that they told you not to notify the police. So I think it's very likely that the kidnappers are stalling for time. ”
But why are they delaying? You just said two points, what's so strange about it? Su Lan asked again.
Song Chi continued: "There is another strange place, which is on you. ”
"Me?" Su Lan was completely stunned. Song Chi continued: "The last point, and the most puzzling part for me, is why do the kidnappers keep calling you? The richest person in the Cao family is his father Cao Bohua, and you actually don't have much money on hand. Even if the kidnappers ask for ransom, you will convey it to Cao Mingxuan's father and ask him to prepare the money. ”
Su Lan replied, "Maybe the kidnappers only have my phone, right?" Or do you think I'm a woman and easier to talk to? ”
"Not at all what you think!" Song Chi continued: "The kidnappers kidnapped Cao Mingxuan, and they must have asked him for his family's phone number." No matter how stupid the kidnappers are, Cao Mingxuan always knows that you don't have any money in your hands, right? Does he only report your phone number and not his dad's? ”
After Song Chi's analysis in just a few words, Su Lan immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. In this way, the purpose of the kidnappers is not for money, so what is the real purpose of their kidnapping of Cao Mingxuan?
Song Chi said again: "Su Lan, I have a bad premonition, I think the kidnappers may know you." ”
"What!" When Su Lan heard this, she trembled with fright. "The kidnappers know me? Finished...... It's over, so what should I do? Are they going to kidnap me too? Should I notify the police? ”
Song Chi continued: "Don't be too nervous, these are just my guesses." The real reason why they kidnapped Cao Mingxuan, I'm afraid no one knows yet. I think the kidnappers might be spying on you in the dark, but we're in the light and they're in the dark. ”
"Surveillance? In my home? Su Lan's back tingled when she heard this. On the balcony? In the kitchen? Or which room has a pinhole camera? ”
Song Chi said: "I didn't mean that, the kidnappers may spy on you in their unique way." As for how to spy on you, there is no way to know. ”
"What then? Can't stay at home? I don't want to be watched by them. Su Lan was very scared.
Song Chi hesitated for a moment and said an idea that had been brewed before. "The kidnappers are cunning and refuse to show their faces easily. I have a bold idea to lure them out? ”
As soon as the words fell, Su Lan was stunned. Song Chi actually wanted to lure the kidnappers out, how dangerous it was! "Tell me, what's the solution?"
"This way...... I'm afraid you can't accept it, and it's going to make you suffer. Song Chi wanted to speak and stopped.
Su Lan replied: "Instead of staying at home all day and being scared, it's better to give it a try." In order to save Ming Xuan, if it is not too dangerous, I am willing to listen to you. ”
Although her husband Cao Mingxuan treated Su Lan like this, at the moment of crisis, Su Lan not only did not have the slightest resentment, but wanted to rescue Mingxuan wholeheartedly. Song Chi was a little moved, Su Lan was so simple and unpretentious.
"I haven't figured out exactly how to do it. There are three parties who are now concerned about this matter, us, the kidnappers and the police. You can't just stay at home and wait for the rabbit, you have to be active. Put some smoke bombs so that others can't guess what you have in mind. ”
Su Lan stared at her eyes and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”
"I think you've got to do something. Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Song Chi asked.
Su Lan replied: "I have been insomnia at night, and I often take some sleeping pills to fall asleep. ”
"I suggest you don't sleep at home at night, if you can't sleep, simply stay in a hotel, which may be safer than at home." Song Chi continued: "You can go out regularly, drive out, and leave some clues. If the kidnappers know your habits, they may be able to follow you. ”
Su Lan responded: "It's not difficult to do this...... I can't sleep at home, maybe in the hotel, I can sleep more soundly. But on the road, will it be dangerous? Song Chi nodded and continued: "When you go to the hotel, just don't stop on the road. If necessary, you can drive around your home a few more times to confuse the kidnappers. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll sleep in the hotel tonight." Su Lan agreed.
Song Chi added: "During the day, you can go to public places to move around a little more to increase your exposure. If the kidnappers are spying on you, at least they know your status, which will help them move on to the next step. Now I am afraid that the kidnappers will not move, as long as they make a little move, they may show their flaws. One more thing, don't worry, I will protect you secretly. As soon as you call, I will come and accompany you. ”
"It's rare that you can put so much thought into Mingxuan...... Okay Song Chi, I'll believe you once. Although Mingxuan hurt me too deeply, I still hope that he can come back safely. Su Lan listened to Song Chi's words and said from the bottom of her heart.
In the next few days, Su Lan followed Song Chi's instructions, and at about 10 o'clock every night, she drove a sports car out and slept in the hotel. Then the next morning, drive home again. She also goes shopping in supermarkets, shopping malls and other places, and always keeps an eye on the people around her.
But none of this helped. Su Lan still received the news of Cao Mingxuan's death, and he was brutally killed by the kidnappers. Su Lan was so grief-stricken that she was suddenly paralyzed with fright, and she washed her face with tears at home all day long.
One night, Song Chi came to Su Lan's house again......
