City Bureau Command Center, one o'clock at noon.

The surveillance wall is divided into several windows, and the largest image in the center is locked in the middle of Taoxi Road.

The image is from a road surveillance, and three garbage cans can be clearly seen at the bottom of the screen, where the kidnappers agreed to pay the ransom. This road may have been chosen because it is secluded and usually rarely crowded during this time.

There is a more important reason - the garbage cans are placed on the sunny side after noon, and there are no trees planted on both sides of the road, so even if there are people passing, they will choose to walk on the opposite side of the street, not afraid of attracting attention.

Qin Luo dragged a box full of dollars, a microphone was stuffed in his ear, and a radio was sewn into his neckline, and this set of intercom equipment became the key to the dispatch and control of the command center.

"Don't look around, go to the trash can." Xie Yuankui looked at the monitoring and gave him an order, "Relax, don't be so stiff, just walk how you normally go." Yes, that's all, don't squint......"

Qin Luo realized that he was a little timid, and secretly took a deep breath and opened his shoulders, allowing the muscles of his whole body to try to relax.

"Lift the lid of the bucket, the one in the middle." Xie Yuankui said again.

As instructed, the lid of the trash can in the middle was lifted, and a foul smell immediately hit the face. Qin Luo couldn't help but wrinkle his nose, and said to the neckline under the cover of his hand: "It's all garbage." ”

"Cover it, go to the side of the road and wait, and listen to my instructions."

He walked under the eaves of the shop behind the trash can, which was an adult store that only opened at night, and the door was closed. He stared at the garbage bin, but his eyes kept strafing to both sides of the road, and the occasional passing vehicle or pedestrian would make him highly nervous.

About ten minutes later, He Zhanting's mobile phone rang, Xie Yuankui nodded, and the criminal police officer in charge of monitoring also made an OK gesture.

"Hey, my people have arrived, do you want to put the box in the bucket?" Without waiting for the other party to speak, He Zhanting took the initiative to ask.

"No, go to Jiuxing Street, there is a red public phone booth at the east exit, wait there."

"Huh? How...... Hey, hey? ”

The other party quickly hung up the phone.

Xie Yuankui frowned and said, "I guessed right, he's playing tricks, see if you call the police." ”

He Zhanting's tense face became even more entangled, and he asked anxiously, "Then what now?" ”

Xie Yuankui picked up the walkie-talkie again and commanded: "Lao Qin, stop a taxi to go to Jiuxing Street, don't talk to the driver." ”

Qin Luo didn't delay, he immediately walked off the road and waited, and after a while, he stopped the taxi and drove towards the new destination.

Xie Yuankui ordered the command center personnel again: "Hurry up and call up the monitoring of Jiuxing Street, preferably in front of the phone booth." The second team moved closer to that side, carefully exposed. ”

The officer who obeyed the order asked, "What about Peach Creek?" ”

"Don't withdraw the three teams first, continue to deploy control, and wait for the notice."

"Yes."

It takes 15 minutes to get from Taoxi Road to Jiuxing Street at the earliest, and the kidnappers temporarily changed the location of the ransom payment out of a high sense of anti-reconnaissance. Xie Yuankui felt that the opponent was not easy to deal with, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

Jiuxing Street is wider than Taoxi Road, and there are relatively many vehicles and pedestrians, but it is still not a busy area.

After Qin Luo got out of the car, he found the red public phone booth and waited patiently on the side of the phone booth according to Xie Yuankui's instructions.

Surprisingly, the kidnappers were as accurate at timing as they were staring at the surveillance somewhere. As soon as Qin Luo took two breaths, the phone in the public phone booth rang.

Due to the popularity of mobile phones, convenient facilities such as public phone booths have long become decorations that no one cares about, and looking at the dusty phone ringing, Qin Luo's palms are sweaty.

The people in the command center were also stunned, even if they had expected that the gangsters would change this phone to contact Qin Luo, but in such a short period of time, they could not technically establish a monitoring channel.

After the bell rang for three rounds, Xie Yuankui made a bold decision to let Qin Luo answer. He didn't have time to judge this sudden situation, because this was only one of many emergencies, and everything could only be played by Qin Luo on the spot.

"Pick it up." He gave an instruction to Qin Luo, and Qin Luo didn't have time to wipe the dust from the earpiece, so he grabbed it and put it on his ear.

"Hey......" he struggled to make his voice sound less flustered.

"You're a cop?"

"No, no, I'm a servant of the He family."

"Why should I believe you?"

"The money is here, my lord is not in good health, so he sent me to deliver it."

"Did you call the police?"

"No, don't dare."

"Don't fight with Lao Tzu, I'm not afraid to call the police."

"Yes, yes, hero, people are there for you, and it won't do us any good to call the police. Our family is willing to spend money to ransom people, just ask people to be safe and sound, and my master is thankful. ”

"Forgive him, he can't play any tricks. Listen, take the car to Huapu Road, there is a teahouse at the intersection, and there is also a telephone booth like this in front of the teahouse, go there and wait. ”

"Hero, we really didn't call the police."

"Don't be verbose, give you twenty minutes."

The kidnappers hung up the phone, and the talk time was still limited to one minute.

Qin Luo came out of the phone booth and did not immediately report to the command center. He suspected that the kidnappers' accomplices were watching nearby, and did not dare to show their feet in the slightest. It wasn't until he stopped a taxi and drove away from Jiuxing Street that he reported the content of the call to the command center.

"Flower Garden Road?" Hearing that the location had been switched to the flower garden road a few kilometers away, Xie Yuankui was a little sad. The kidnappers must have been monitoring around the designated location, just like them, and if they continued like this, the police would be completely exposed.

"Lao Qin, act when you have the opportunity. Biting a little, I didn't call the police. ”

Qin Luo coughed at the other end, expressing his approval.

The command center once again called up the nearest monitoring of the target location, and this time the perspective was much better than just now.

Xie Yuankui turned to the technician and asked, "Did you catch up with the call on Jiuxing Street?" ”

"It's still chasing, and it technically takes at least half an hour to determine."

"What about the one on Flower Garden Road, can you grab it now?"

"It should be possible to listen to it, but if you want to track it, you still have to wait for the call to come in first."

"Hurry! The second team stayed on Jiuxing Street and couldn't follow. He cautiously adjusted the way he set up the control, "The fourth team went to the flower garden road. ”

"Yes!"

When he came to Huapu Road and found the booth, Qin Luo put the box in, and the people stayed outside to observe and wait. However, as the minutes ticked by, the phone never rang.

"Nothing will happen, will it?" He Zhanting's heart was beating faster, and he pressed a quick-acting heart-saving pill under his tongue.

"Wait and see, they won't give up." Xie Yuankui pinched his chin, this was a small action when he relieved his tension, "It is a common trick to constantly change the joint location, rest assured, let him change it all over the south, south, west, and north, our people have already filled Lucheng." After speaking, he picked up the walkie-talkie and instructed Qin Luo. Lao Qin, try to delay as much time as possible. ”

Qin Luo hummed.

After another bit of waiting, the phone finally rang. With the experience of Jiuxing Street, this time he was much calmer.

"Hey."

"Look overhead."

Qin Luo looked up and found a shriveled backpack glued to the top of the booth, which looked like a schoolbag for students.

"There's a bag." He said.

"Put the money in."

"Oh."

He deliberately shouted loudly, but Xie Yuankui, who had already heard the phone through technical means, remained silent.

Not daring to delay, he hurriedly exchanged the dollars in his suitcase into his schoolbag one by one.

"Take your bag and go to College Street." The other party asked again.

"Huh? Where the hell are you going? Qin Luo was a little maddened by the request to change around, looking at the time, it was already half past four in the afternoon.

"Academy Street Seedlings Primary School, there is a school bus at the door, put the bag on it."

"Where?"

"There's a luggage rack in the car, put it on the shelf."

"What about people? Where is my young master? ”

"I'm not done yet, what are you panicking about. Put your bag down and head to the Mai Sa Cafe diagonally across the street and take a seat on the blue fabric sofa. ”

"No, I can't pay if I don't see anyone."

"Then it's up to you, give you three seconds to think about it, do it or collect the body, choose for yourself."

"Three seconds?" Qin Luo deliberately repeated it loudly.

"Do it." Xie Yuankui finally spoke, and He Zhanting beside him looked at him worriedly.

For a moment, Qin Luo couldn't tell which ear this voice was transmitted into his brain from.

"Okay, good, hero, I listen to you, please keep your promise."

"Go!" The kidnappers scolded and hung up.

The atmosphere in the command center was highly tense, and the kidnappers changed the joint location one after another, which really disrupted the plan.

"Which team is closest to College Street?" Xie Yuankui asked.

"Team five."

"Hurry up, move quickly, don't be exposed...... Bring up all the surveillances outside of Beanstalk Elementary School. ”

College Street is not far from Flower Garden Road, which can be reached through an alley. Qin Luo did not take the car but chose to walk, which was also to buy time for the police to arrive at the scene in advance.

On the surveillance, Xie Yuankui has clearly locked the scene at the entrance of Qingmiao Primary School, where a yellow school bus is parked. Not long after, Qin Luo walked out of the alley and walked to the school bus.

The doors of the school bus were open, and there was no one on the bus, so he looked around and got on the bus. Sure enough, there was an area in the middle of the carriage that was fenced off with a net to stack his school bags, and he didn't have time to think about it.

After getting off the bus, he walked across the street and stopped, not in a hurry to leave, staring at the school bus.

After a while, a driver-like man came out of the school, his hands full of various styles of school bags. He got into the car and then went back to school empty-handed. A few minutes later, I got into the car again with a few bags, but this time I didn't get down.

Immediately afterward, there was a commotion in the school, and the noise of people continued to pour out—the teacher led the students out of school. On the other side of the road, there was also a crowd of people in front of Kalibili International Kindergarten, and the parents who picked up the children blocked the school gate.

At this point, everyone finally figured out that the kidnappers' preference for choosing a location was not an out-of-the-box location, but rather a ransom in a high-traffic area to avoid a surprise attack. It seems that they didn't believe that He Zhanting didn't call the police from beginning to end.

"Lao Qin, go to the coffee shop, don't stand there." Xie Yuankui commanded.

While listening to Xie Yuankui's voice, Qin Luo saw the students get on the school bus, and then the school bus started.

He couldn't care so much, and shouted at the neckline: "The car is gone, the money is on it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, two sedans sped past behind them and chased in the direction where the school bus had left. He knew that it was Xie Yuankui's person.

Turning around, I walked into the Maisha Coffee Shop, where melodious country music was playing and was full of booths. Soon, however, he found the enclosed seat of three fabric sofas under the bar.

One of them is blue.
