Chapter 64: Gather clues everywhere

Ask for recommendations, collect ~~

--------------------------------

On the afternoon of the next day, Song Chi was proofreading the manuscript at the newspaper, and he saw Cao Mingxuan's missing person notice again. It's been four whole days, and no one has died, but there is no news, which is very strange.

He went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he saw reporter Zhao Tianyu carrying a bag and was about to go out. Song Chi said: "I saw you walking around the company just now, why didn't you go out for an interview?" ”

After Zhao Tianyu heard this, he sighed: "The photojournalist had something to do in the afternoon, and he never came." I was going to interview the CEO of Zhenbang Group, but I couldn't find the right person to act as a photographer. ”

The CEO of Zhenbang Group...... Isn't that Cao Mingxuan's father? "You mean, the family that posted the missing person notice in our newspaper?" Song Chi suddenly became interested.

"yes, we didn't know who was behind the scenes. However, this morning, the lawyer said that let's go to Zhenbang Group once in the afternoon and interview the CEO. I guess after the missing person notice was published to them, there was a bit of a response. Zhao Tianyu replied.

If you can meet Cao Mingxuan's father, you will definitely know more about Cao Mingxuan. Song Chi thought for a while and said, "I don't have anything to do in the afternoon, why don't I go with you?" ”

"I'm OK, you just need to take two photos next to me during the interview." Zhao Tianyu agreed to him.

Song Chi hurriedly returned to the office and asked He Lao for leave. "Mr. He, I happen to be free in the afternoon, and I want to go with Zhao Tianyu to interview the CEO of Zhenbang Group."

He Lao thought for a moment and did not express his position.

So Song Chi said again: "It's on Wujiang Road, where Xiao Yangsheng's fried food is delicious, I'll come back later and bring you some." ”

As soon as he heard the word raw frying, He Lao's eyebrows immediately soared. "Okay, the reporter is interviewing, and you can learn from the sidelines. Raw frying, it doesn't matter, buy less, five or six taels is enough, my teeth are not very good. ”

With He Lao's approval, Song Chi was overjoyed. So he received a single-lens reflex camera from the administration department and rushed to Zhengbang Group with Zhao Tianyu.

The chairman of Zhengbang Group, named Cao Bohua, started by selling stones in the early years, and now its business has covered building materials, agriculture, logistics and foreign trade, with a Hong Kong listed company, two investment companies, and assets of more than 2 billion.

The group has a whole floor of property in a high-end business building on Nanjing West Road. The decoration is luxurious and extraordinary.

After a while, Song Chi and Zhao Tianyu took a taxi to Zhenbang Group. After announcing the names, the secretary asked the two to wait in the conference room for a while, and she would arrange for the boss to meet.

"I heard that Cao Bohua, such a son, has always been regarded as a pearl in his palm. If his son is really kidnapped, I am afraid that he will be asked to give up half of the country, and he is willing. Zhao Tianyu teased.

Human life is above all else, and money is only something outside the body after all. No matter who this kind of thing happens, the family will definitely do their best.

After about ten minutes, the secretary walked in. "Now you can see Mr. Cao, please come with me."

Cao Bohua is over 60 years old, with white hair, a suit and tie, and good spirits. He was also in the office with a corporate lawyer.

Seeing Song Chi and Zhao Tianyu walking in, Cao Bohua put down his work and came to the sofa. The lawyer stood up and said, "You're a newspaper reporter, right?" ”

"Yes, I want to interview Mr. Cao this time." Zhao Tianyu responded.

The lawyer motioned for the two to take their seats, then took out a stack of documents from the briefcase next to him. "Two days ago, I published a missing person notice in your newspaper, and I have received a lot of phone calls these days. Originally, we didn't want to alarm the police, but the police also learned about it through other channels, so I thought the next step would be to cooperate with the newspaper further. ”

"Yes, since the publication of the missing person notice, the newspaper has also received a lot of strange phone calls. However, this missing person notice provides very little information, so the accuracy rate is very low. Zhao Tianyu responded.

When the lawyer was talking to Zhao Tianyu, Song Chi on the side noticed Cao Bohua's expression and was very anxious.

"What you just said is exactly what we are going to do. So we want to provide more information to the newspaper in the hope of getting some useful clues. As the lawyer spoke, he looked at Cao Bohua.

As soon as the lawyer finished speaking, Cao Bohua took over the topic. "Now, there is nothing to hide. The person I am looking for in the missing person notice is my son Cao Mingxuan. I think next, increase the reward amount to 500,000, just to get a clue that my son was kidnapped. ”

Cao Bohua's words shocked the audience, could it be that Cao Mingxuan was really kidnapped? "Are you sure your son has been kidnapped?" Song Chi couldn't help but interject.

"I think it should be." Speaking of this, Cao Bohua couldn't help but sigh. Zhao Tianyu hurriedly took out his notebook and prepared for the interview. "The night before the accident, I received a phone call from him. He asked me for 5 million, and he spoke very quickly. I scolded him on the phone and didn't agree to his request. Now that I think about it, I regret it......"

Zhao Tianyu asked: "Your son asked you to take the money, did you say that Weishenme asked for the 5 million?" ”

Cao Bohua shook his head and said, "He said he was about to be cornered. He also asked me about the money before, but there was no reason, and I didn't know where his money was spent. In fact, I blame myself, because I am busy with work and care too little about him, which leads him to not do his job properly and make some unpleasant friends in the society. ”

Song Chi thought to himself, his son is not angry, this father is quite reasonable. According to what he just said, his son asked him for money before the accident, and it is more likely that he was kidnapped and blackmailed.

"It's been almost a week since this incident, is there a call from the kidnappers?" Zhao Tianyu asked.

Cao Bohua shook his head, looking dazed. "There was no news at all, and that's what surprised me. To be honest, I don't even know if he's alive or dead right now. Money is not a problem, the kidnapper asks for a million, I can give him two million; They ask for 10 million, and I can give them 20 million...... I pray that my son may have peace. ”

If this is really a kidnapping case, it is a criminal case. "Then what if Weishenme doesn't call the police?" Song Chi asked.

"Call the police? I'm afraid that if I call the police, my son will be in trouble. Ordinary kidnappers will jump over the wall in a hurry, and the media has disclosed many hostage incidents, and the rate of ticket tearing is very high. Therefore, this time I published a search notice in the newspaper, firstly, in the hope that someone could provide some useful clues, and secondly, I also hoped that the kidnappers would contact us as soon as possible after seeing it. ”

Zhao Tianyu asked, "Then do you think who will kidnap your son?" Have you had a holiday with anyone in business lately? ”

"I've also thought about this, turning hands into clouds and hands for rain in the business field, and friction on the table will inevitably occur, but it won't be so big as to kidnap my son? I really can't think of anyone to have a big holiday with, it all came too suddenly......" Cao Bohua said after thinking about it.

The clouds and waves in the business field are secretive, and they usually hurt people with hidden arrows, and if this kind of thing happens, most of them are done by acquaintances.

Song Chi then asked: "Mr. Cao, have any of your company's employees suddenly left recently?" ”

"You mean......" Cao Bohua was stunned, and suddenly thought of something.

He immediately got up, returned to his desk, and without saying a word, picked up the phone and started calling. "I'm Cao Bohua, check it out for me right away, who in the group has suddenly left in the past few days...... What the? Be louder, what do you say......"
