Chapter Ninety-Eight: Case Reinstatement
The driver, 16 students, parents, teachers, coffee shop barist...... Even Qin Luo was brought back to the city bureau for interrogation, but the result was a big disappointment.
The students and drivers had basically the same description of the journey, no one noticed the bag containing the US dollar, and no one deliberately approached the area where the bag was placed before getting off the bus, so there was no opinion about its disappearance.
The driver has no problem, zero criminal record, clear identity, and traces of social relationships. As usual, he packed the students' books in the car, drove them home one by one, and then returned to the office – everything made sense.
The bartender at the coffee shop didn't lie, there was indeed a request to deliver a cake to the gentleman sitting on the blue fabric sofa at six o'clock, and the payment was done through a virtual wallet without a bank card.
The interrogation continues, and the police are reluctant to let go of any details. They were played around by the suspects under the premise of careful deployment, and Lucheng's police ability was criticized again.
Xie Yuankui also ushered in the biggest crisis in his police career.
Thankfully, the technical department finally got something, and the news came to the command center - but it was very old-fashioned, one good and one bad.
He chose to hear the good news first, and at this moment he urgently needed to inject himself and the police force with a booster shot.
The good news is that after technical tracking of the communication lines of the public phone booth and coffee shop, it was finally determined that several calls came from the same number, and the active point was located in the urban-rural junction of "Gongjia Village" in Lucheng suburban county.
This is indeed exciting news, and Xie Yuankui immediately sent special police officers to the destination to launch a carpet search. Before he saw He Chong's corpse, he still had luck.
The second piece of bad news is actually good news.
It is said that it is good because it has completely cracked the whereabouts of the schoolbag containing US dollars, and the bad thing is that the money has disappeared under the noses of criminal investigators, and everyone is unaware of it.
The gangster's IQ really impressed Xie Yuankui, and the only thing he could use to comfort himself now was that it was not easy to meet such an opponent after decades of being a police officer, and it was an unavoidable challenge in his career. Of course, comfort to comfort, and it will also be a very insulting battle in his career.
At this moment, Xin Mu walked in, his face was solemn, his original delicate makeup was also eclipsed, and the whole person was in a state of exhaustion.
He made an inquiring expression at her, and Xin Mu's eyes immediately reddened.
"Heart attack, build a bridge. He already has high blood pressure and has been taking blood clot medicine all year round, and this blow is too great. ”
"I'm sorry Sister Xin, I'm so useless."
"It's those people who are cunning, I don't blame you." Xin Muqiang cheered up and sniffed, "I'm here to pick up Steward Qin." ”
"Mr. He is still in the hospital, why do you want to go there yourself. Lao Qin finished asking, and was about to send someone to send him over. ”
"I can't worry about it here, I want to come and see it." Xin Mu found a place to sit down, "How's it going?" ”
"Still searching. The terrain of Gongjia Village is relatively complex, and most of the local villagers have relocated, making it almost a wilderness. Night Detectives are not good for us, but rest assured, we have sealed off all the main roads, so no one can easily enter or exit. ”
"I'm afraid I'll slip away." Xin Mu sighed.
These words slapped Xie Yuankui in the face, and he swallowed with difficulty.
At this point, Xin Mu changed the conversation again: "You have done your best, after all, we are very passive in the shadows, and this result is expected." She stopped talking, and finally shook her head helplessly, "The only hope now is ...... People are still alive. ”
"I've always believed that people are alive." Xie Yuankui emphasized, a trace of stubbornness flashed in his eyes, "You can't scare yourself just by the few words that the kidnappers intimidated Lao Qin." ”
Having said that, Zhan Ting is not so optimistic. Chong'er is his lifeline, if there are three long and two short, he will also live. ”
"It's our dereliction of duty, please forgive Mr. He." He stood in front of Xin Mu and hung his chin on his chest as much as he could, sincerely apologizing.
"Lao Xie, don't do this." Xin Mu can still treat this ending more objectively, and persuaded in turn, "You know that I don't hit the south wall, I don't look back, I don't cry when I don't see the coffin, and I won't admit defeat until the last moment." Therefore, you also cheer up your spirits, and let your people search well, search carefully, and see people alive and dead to see corpses. ”
"That's what I mean, too." After receiving understanding, Xie Yuankui felt a lot better, "I don't believe that people are gone like this, so far we have not received any reports about deaths and injuries, although it cannot be used as ironclad evidence, but it can also be used as a reference." ”
Xin Mu suddenly leaned forward, he understood, and hurriedly put his ears on it, only to hear her whisper: "There are so many people who disappeared before and there is no whereabouts, I'm afraid that Chong'er's matter will blow these things to the surface of the water again, you be careful." ”
He nodded quietly.
"Don't worry, I'm in control."
"Tell your subordinates to hurry up and find out, and if you need any cooperation, just say."
"Definitely. Losing such a big face this time, everyone is holding their breath with fire in their hearts, and they can't wait to find something weighty if they raze that Gongjia Village, otherwise they won't be able to hang here. Xie Yuankui patted his cheek, it was heavy.
"I'm looking around for any leads. Chong'er used to like to go to night clubs, and his social relations were more complicated, so he hoped that his friends who drank and meat could come in handy. ”
"Okay, tell me any clues immediately."
"By the way, I heard that there was a hole in the car, what the hell is going on?"
Xie Yuankui asked a technician to enlarge a still photo of the front of Beanstalk Primary School on the screen.
"See?"
"Oh." Xin Mu understood it at a glance, and she was no stranger to the kidnapper's trick.
"Hell, I didn't even notice this." Xie Yuankui had something to say.
Xin Mu looked at the screen melancholy, but his eyes were not focused, and the whole person fell into deep thought.
There was a circular sewer in front of the school, which was just covered by the bus stop, and no one noticed this detail at first. Brother Long arranged for someone to move on the school bus in advance, and cut a hole in the board under the schoolbag shelf, which could not be seen at all after the cover was closed. Qin Luo put the bag in the car, and a short and agile kidnapper immediately got out of the sewer, and took the bag through this hole, completing the transfer unknowingly.
Such a perfect trick was unexpected by everyone, and then the process of the police's efforts actually fell into the kidnapper's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain - Xie Yuankui locked the target on the school bus and spent more than an hour tracking it, which simply provided sufficient and valuable time for Long Ge and others to escape.
"I have to go back to the hospital, and I'm going to have surgery at dawn." Xin Mu sobered up from his contemplation and looked at the watch on his wrist, "Zhan Ting can't do without Lao Qin, what about others?" ”
"It should be in the break room."
"Okay, you say hello, I'll take him first."
"Take care. I had no shame to face Mr. He, and I would go to see him when I caught the kidnapper. ”
Xie Yuankui arranged for someone to send Qin Luo out, and personally stood at the door to watch the two of them go away, and then returned to the command center.
The hospital is on the same street as the police station, and at this time He Zhanting's condition has been controlled with medication.
Three bodyguards outside the door. He Yina stayed in front of the bed, saw Xin Mu come in, and hurriedly gave up the chair.
"How's your dad?" Xin Mu dimmed the bedside lamp and stroked He Zhanting's face.
"I'm asleep, the doctor said the indicators are normal."
"Then Lao Qin, I'm sorry for you."
Qin Luo bowed his hand: "Miss Madam, go back and rest, I'm here to guard, you guys have been busy all day, sleep well." ”
"I'll be here early tomorrow morning." He Yina said, Qin Luo nodded, and opened the door for the mother and daughter.
When the footsteps in the corridor were far away, Qin Luo sat down beside He Zhanting's bed.
"You can open your eyes, master."
As soon as he entered the house, he noticed that He Zhanting was pretending to sleep, but he did not show his face.
He Zhanting really opened his eyes slowly, and his eye sockets showed a lonely and desperate look.
"How?" He Zhanting asked, the three words were indistinct, rubbed together like a sigh.
"The phone has been traced, and the special police are searching in Gongjia Village."
"My Chong'er is gone...... just like that" When he said this, he felt that He Zhanting's teeth were crushed.
"Master, don't think nonsense, the young master is your son, and he will be able to turn evil into good fortune. At this time, you should think about the better, especially you, and you can't take the lead in discouragement. ”
He Zhanting motioned to get up, and Qin Luo shook the bed board and helped him sit firmly.
"Do you think it could be her?"
Qin Luo didn't reply, only looked at He Zhanting with a strange look.
"Look at what I'm doing, say what I have to say."
He resignedly said, "Why did the master suddenly think like this." ”
"Hey." He Zhanting's head swelled, revealing a painful expression, "After so many years, she still can't forget the past, and she has hatred in her heart." ”
"The master is talking about the young master's biological mother?"
"Well, Linlin is gone, and the spearhead is aimed at Chong'er."
Qin Luo's chin lowered and said cautiously: "At that time, I hadn't started to serve the master, so I didn't dare to judge him. However, over the years, Mrs. has taken care of the young master in every way, just like her own child, and no matter how big the grudge is, it must have disappeared long ago. ”
"Hmph, I don't think so. I get along with her day and night, I know her best, she is stronger than men, and I have to give three points when I am ruthless. Linlin died suddenly, but she didn't know if it was not her ruthless hand, these years seem to be calm, who knows if there is any other conspiracy behind it. ”
"The master has given so much real power to the young lady, is the lady still not satisfied?"
"I don't know if she's not satisfied, but I know that if she doesn't, she'll be out of the way. Do you still remember when Chong'er was a child, he was often sick inexplicably, and his life hung by a thread every time, not because he was not in good health, but because someone was making trouble behind his back. ”
"What do you mean......" Qin Luo had a terrifying expression on his face, and he felt even more scared when he thought about it, "Wouldn't you?" ”
"I'm not stupid, and she's not stupid."
"Madame, if you really want to harm the young master's life, aren't you afraid that the old master will turn his face? I think you're too worried, she doesn't dare. ”
She dared. Relying on her uncle to help me, she has become more and more presumptuous in front of me over the years, killing several of my women before and after, but I endured it, not because I was afraid of her, but because I wanted more than less. But if it really has something to do with her this time, I will never spare her. ”
"Master, even if this is the case, Madame is also deeply hated."
"Her love stresses me out."
