Criminal investigators traced down the sewer outside the gate of Qingmiao Primary School and roughly determined the location of the kidnappers who had gone up to the ground.

This section of the pipeline is a main pipeline, which extends in all directions, and carries the drainage task of the area. The kidnappers entered through a sewer about two blocks parallel to Beanstalk Elementary School, and the distance between the two points was no more than one kilometer. The choice of exit is also quite cautious, located in a drainage hole on the Lujiang River embankment, which is difficult for ordinary people to find.

Such a meticulous and sophisticated kidnapping case is the first case in Lucheng, and the case has attracted great attention from the former mayor, firstly because the amount of extortion is huge, and secondly, because the hostage's mother happens to be his niece.

Liao Qiming, the former mayor of Lucheng City, Xin Mu's uncle. He Zhanting was able to gain a firm foothold in Lucheng and stir up trouble in the business world, and he couldn't do without his help. He not only provided He Zhanting with an enviable municipal construction project, but also pulled him into the Lucheng Chamber of Commerce and supported him step by step to the position of president. And Agu can dominate the side of Lucheng, and he also has the help of this nobleman's secret escort.

He was quite dissatisfied with the special case group headed by Xie Yuankui and wanted to contact the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Political and Legal Committee to remove him from his post as director.

But Xin Mu stepped forward to protect it at the first time.

"Why intercede for him?" He asked angrily, and the purple clay pot in his hand also overflowed with tea with his trembling hands.

"You can't generalize from one side to the other, and you can't completely deny a person because of a mistake. Xie Yuankui is still very conscientious in this matter, who would have thought that those kidnappers would be so cunning, and if they were others, they would probably be played around. ”

"Is there anything wrong with that Chong'er?"

"I searched the kidnapper's den overnight yesterday, but I still haven't found it yet."

"Brute!" Liao Qiming slammed the teapot on the table, his forehead bulging with green tendons, "These dog mongrels are simply breaking ground on Tai Sui's head!" ”

"Uncle, why are you so uncalm." Xin Mu stepped forward and rubbed his back and shoulders, "I didn't find anything, it proves that Chong'er is still alive." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"After the ransom is in hand, the kidnappers are naturally busy running away, is it possible to take Chong'er with him?"

Liao Qiming thought about it sideways and suddenly realized.

"Oh, yes."

"Either kill the mouth, or leave people there, but now there is no one alive or dead, there is only one possibility, they hid Chong'er somewhere else."

"Then hurry up and find it, then Lucheng will turn the bottom upside down and find out people."

"Don't worry, the whole city has been dispatched, and none of the public security criminal police have been left behind."

As he was talking, Xin Mu's mobile phone rang, and when he saw it, it was Xie Yuankui calling.

"Hey, it's me, okay, I'll be right over."

"What, Zhan Ting?"

"No, Xie Yuankui, said that there is new progress for me to go over."

"How is Zhan Ting doing now?"

"The minor bypass surgery has been cured, and I can be discharged from the hospital after another day or two of observation. I left Ina there to watch, no problem. ”

"Let's go, be careful on the road."

She nodded and walked out.

"Xiao Mu ......" Liao Qiming stopped her again.

"What?"

"Bear more, if there are any grievances to swallow in your stomach. If such a big thing happened, be considerate and considerate of Zhan Ting, he is such a son. ”

"Isn't Ina also his daughter......" She understood what Liao Qiming meant, but she still couldn't help but express the resentment in her heart, "I shouldn't have said such a thing, but sometimes his performance is really chilling." ”

"Doesn't he also care for Ina and be meticulous."

"It's different, that's just the appearance, he only has one Chong'er in his heart, and everyone with a discerning eye knows it."

"Then do you know that clear-eyed people are tired of living, and people have to be confused all their lives. There are no parents in this world who don't love their children, and there are no parents who have really leveled a bowl of water. When you were young, you both caused trouble for each other because of your temperament, but now you have to be tolerant of each other as you get older. This is the primary foundation of a family, without which any pattern is just empty talk. ”

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm just saying these things to you, and even Ina doesn't know. It's just that she didn't notice anything, and she worked endlessly for his father all day long, and she really didn't think it was worth it. ”

"What's worth it or not, it's all a family, change chairs and sit down. If it was Ina who had an accident this time, would you really be able to deal with it sensibly? ”

Liao Qiming's words touched Xin Mu a lot.

Indeed, whether or not to be biological is still a certain emotional challenge and test for everyone who is nominally called a parent. If it was He Yina who had an accident this time, she would inevitably do everything she could to rescue her, be furious at Xie Yuankui's incompetence, and be sensitive and even explosive for He Zhanting's unintentional words.

In fact, there is no other contradiction between her and He Zhanting, and all the tacit festivals come from the attitude towards her children. She also knew that He Zhanting had deliberately neglected He Chong in order to take care of her feelings over the years, and handed over the authority of the company's operation to He Yina, just to show her mind to her stepmother - even if it was inevitably suspected of acting.

Ask yourself, she cares for He Chong and even pampers her, why didn't she do it for others to see.

Thinking of this, a touch of relief flashed the corners of his mouth, and then he looked up and found that the car had arrived at the city bureau.

Without waiting to sit down, Xie Yuankui excitedly called up the video and told her about a major discovery.

"We have repeatedly checked the monitoring at the entrance of Beanstalk Primary School, including the cache before the incident, and finally found the problem."

"What's the problem?"

"Look, this is when the school bus is about to arrive at the school gate on the day of the incident......," Xie Yuankui pointed to the sewer manhole cover outside the school, and there was a parking area drawn with white lines around the manhole cover, "Look, here it is." ”

Following the direction of his finger, the yellow school bus pulled into the monitor and stopped in the frame.

At this point, the video pauses.

"Why stop here?" He asked.

"Where do you stop here? Don't you draw a parking space? Xin Mu thought the question was a bit ridiculous, "Besides, they transferred dollars through the sewers, isn't the manhole cover just in the frame?" ”

Xie Yuankui rewinds the image to the front of the school bus and takes a screenshot.

"Look at these again." He brought up a set of seven still images taken at the same angle, all of which depicted outside the gate of Beanstalk Primary School at different times of the day.

Xin Mu frowned, and after watching it for a long time, he didn't notice the clue.

"Let's say the same, each one is different, let's say it's different, and I think it's wrong."

"I'm not going to sell it, look here." Xie Yuankui's finger pointed forcefully.

On one of the screenshots, a cone-shaped barrel appears in front of the border of the white-lined parking area.

"I asked the school that the white line was drawn by themselves, in order to regulate safety, and urge the school bus to stop at the designated location. The sewer was right inside the box, and it was facing the hole that had been dug into the school bus, so the kidnappers had the idea of taking the ransom out of the ground. But one thing they are very worried about is that if the bus stops too far forward, the risk of transporting the ransom is greater. ”

"So putting the conical bucket there, although it is only a small detail, can ensure that the school bus is placed in the frame impartially, and it is also just aimed at the manhole cover." Sure enough, Xin Mu's IQ was very high, and he was suddenly surprised.

"It's just speculation, there's nothing of value to look for, and we can only focus on these inconspicuous details." Xie Yuankui said this deliberately, not wanting Xin Mu to feel that he was asking for credit or showing off.

"The devil is in the details, and it's the same in business." Xin Mu sighed, interested in the video, "I agree with your inference, without this bucket, the school bus may also stop in the designated area, but with this bucket, the angle and orientation are foolproof." ”

"Yes, the bucket is like a reference, and the driver will unconsciously lean the front of the car up and press it to the sideline. And this conical barrel is very common, road construction to put on, road clearance to put on, sanitation operations to put, it is difficult to attract attention. We just ignored this before, so we took a detour. ”

"And who put this bucket?" Xin Mu asked the most critical question, and Xie Yuankui actually had a smug expression.

He retraced the video back to the day of the incident. At a quarter past 2 p.m., a sanitation worker rode a small tricycle to Seedlings Primary School, got off the bike, set up the conical bucket and began to sweep the floor, and then rode away, leaving the bucket in its place. The whole process is natural and unpretentious, and even the facial expressions are not flawed.

"It's not a coincidence." Xin Mu said.

"Yes, but that's how criminal investigation is, you can't make a conclusion based on your feelings. This sanitation worker is a mouthful, and I've torn him open. According to the sanitation company in charge of the area, this person was not their employee at all. In addition, the sanitation workers in their company are all women, and the clothes they wear are not of this style. ”

Xin Muteng stood up suddenly, and the excitement of touching the truth, even if it was just the skin, came spontaneously.

"What about people?"

"Don't worry, listen to me. We ran all the labor insurance stores in Lucheng, took screenshots of this person's video and visited them repeatedly, and we really found them...... Look at this. ”

Xie Yuankui turned off the video of BIBS Elementary School, and another set of images appeared on the screen.

The image shows a man walking out of a newly bought sanitation suit, looking around and sneaking around - this person is Chang Si.

"This is a video from the morning of the incident, and he bought the dress from the inside of the store as soon as it opened." Xie Yuankui explained, and then connected the next block video, "Then look down, and you will understand everything." ”

His judgment was accurate, and Chang Si, who came out of the labor insurance shop, was completely exposed to Skynet's monitoring step by step.

Chang Si first walked to the municipal park near Beanstalk Elementary School, then got into a van without a license plate, changed into sanitation clothes and got off the bus a few minutes later, and pushed out of the grass to ride the small tricycle that had been prepared in advance towards Beanstalk Elementary School.

What happened at the school gate coincided with the first video Xin Mu had just watched.

"So where did he go after that, and you can find him by watch?" Xin Mu was a little anxious, and he didn't have the patience to watch the next video images, just wanting to know where the suspect was.

"Yes, the location is locked, and if nothing else, my people should have arrived."

Xie Yuankui looked at his watch, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
