This suspicion is not unfounded, according to the records of the former Qing Dynasty case files kept by the National Police Agency, most of the kidnapping cases are cases in which thieves first send undercover agents to infiltrate the victim's home, find out the property status and the whereabouts of the target, and wait for the right opportunity to do so.

According to the next person, this person was hired by Miss Yao in the name of a coachman, but his monthly salary was as high as 200 oceans, which was comparable to that of a university professor, and he did not have to work all day.

This person, Wu Bingxiang once saw in the station police station, was very tall, handsome, and helped Miss Yao block the beating of the police, which caused the whole station police station to open fire, so Wu Bingxiang was very impressed by him, usually such a handsome guy used various means to get close to the rich lady, and he did all the things that dismantled the white party, so Chen Zikun was even more suspicious.

Sent people to investigate briefly, and got more shocking news, this Chen Zikun only came to Beijing a few months ago, not a long time, committed a lot of crimes, once gathered people to fight on the flyover, took hostages in the Ma family's mansion, robbed people's daughters, and fought privately in Taoranting, so brave and ruthless, and the trouble was inextricable.

The most unbelievable thing is that not long ago, this penniless guy actually opened a car factory, with 20 foreign cars and dozens of workers under his hands.

In the Xiangshan kidnapping case, Chen Zikun's performance was also extremely suspicious, and he acted in a play with the bandits in front of Ah Fu, if he guessed correctly, he must have met with the bandits by now.

To sum up, the truth is about to come out, Chen Zikun is a bandit, and he was specially sent to undercover to find out the news, and all their efforts are to kidnap Miss Yao and get a huge reward.

Wu Bingxiang immediately ordered to send capable personnel to monitor the Ziguang Depot, and the armed patrol officers of the brigade were on call at any time to destroy this bandit den at the first order.

……

At the foot of the world, it has always been the best place, and it is rare to see such a big case as a ticket kidnapping, and it is the daughter of the vice minister of the Ministry of Communications who is tied up, so the nature of this case is even more different.

Yao Qizhen is a general in the Department of Communications, and his energy is quite amazing, and his old friend Cao Rulin, the chief of finance, is the first to know about it, and then, Xu Shuzheng, vice minister of the army, Li Changtai, commander of the infantry army, Ma Jinmen, commander of the military police, and Duan Zhigui, commander of the Beijing garrison, were all alarmed, and the entire Beijing military and police circles were shocked.

Premier Qian Nengxun also made a phone call, urging the military and police departments to shoulder their responsibilities, arrest the murderers as soon as possible, and rescue the kidnappers; after coordination, the Beijing Police Department and the criminal investigators of the Yamen, under the command of the infantry army, will crack the case, and if it is necessary to mobilize troops, the Beijing Garrison Command and the Military Police Headquarters will be on standby at any time.

The Ministry of Communications' own armed road guards are naturally even more duty-bound, first transferred a reinforced platoon to surround the Yao Mansion, if it wasn't for Deputy Commander Yao to stop it in time, they also planned to pile up sandbags and set up water-cooled heavy machine guns.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Wu Bingxiang, the director of the police department, and a few strange old guys, all of whom were fifty or sixty years old, not good-looking, but there was a sharpness in their eyes, Wu Bingxiang introduced: "Deputy Chief Yao, these are all criminal investigation masters of the police department, and they have specialized in handling major cases since the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Thank you." Vice Chief Yao shook hands with these old catchers one by one, and as soon as they waved, the maid presented a tray, which was full of encapsulated oceans.

"It's a little meaning, please laugh at it."

"No merit is not rewarded!" The first old patrol officer unceremoniously refused.

Vice Chief Yao couldn't get off the stage, Wu Bingxiang said in a round: "It's not too late to thank Ling Yan when she comes back, now let's analyze the case, Lao Li, you say it first." ”

Lao Li is just the old man with a blunt attitude, he is called Li Sansi, nearly seventy years old, in good spirits, it is said that he broke several big kidnapping cases in the capital during the Guangxu period, and was called the old fairy by the people in the yamen, although he is old, but there is a big case, the police department always asks him to go out of the mountain.

"Let's talk, let's talk upstairs." Elder Yao politely invited them to the upper room, and at the same time asked the housekeeper to guard the staircase and not allow anyone to disturb him.

"Tie up an unmarried woman, the industry calls it a flower ticket, also known as a fast ticket, must be redeemed on the same day, if you spend the night, you are afraid that your chastity will not be guaranteed, and if you are generally engaged, your husband's family will not want it." Li Sansi said eloquently.

Yao Cichang's face was a little ugly, his daughter was a newcomer, so she naturally didn't care about stereotypes and bad habits, but if she really spent a night in the thief's den, it couldn't be allowed to happen under any circumstances.

Li Sansi coughed dryly and said: "So we must solve the case as soon as possible, who the kidnapper is already clear, the bandit's real name is Wei Sanpao, known as the Hebei hero, a person from Langfang, has been in the Beijing and Tianjin area for many years, there are dozens of bandits, there are guns and horses, but they usually only haunt the remote countryside, rarely go to the suburbs of Beijing to commit crimes, and Miss Yao's itinerary is not known to many people, so Director Wu's conclusion is very reasonable, there must be internal ghosts, and there is more than one internal ghost. ”

Another old catcher quickly interjected: "We have interrogated all the subordinates in the mansion, and we will definitely wipe out the thieves and the party." ”

Yao Cichang said: "I don't care if I am an inner ghost or not, the most important thing now is to save my daughter." ”

Li Sansi said: "Don't be impatient, and listen to me slowly, the thief proposed a sky-high ransom of 500,000 yuan, presumably not very clear about the economic situation of Vice Chief Yao, which shows that this inner ghost has a remote relationship with the Yao family, at least not a family member, so we have a ......"

"I just want to know, what to do." Vice Chief Yao was impatient and interrupted Li Sansi's words again.

As a parent, this mood is understandable, Li Sansi smiled and said: "To put it simply, we have a two-pronged approach, Wen and Wu are all prepared, for the sake of safety, first give money to save people, and at the same time track the whereabouts of the thief, and when Miss Yao is safe, immediately wipe out the thief and recover the huge money, now what you have to do is to send someone to hang a red lantern on the door, and wait for the thief to call again." ”

Yao Cichang said: "But I really can't scrape together so much cash. ”

Li Sansi said: "I don't care if you can make up 500,000 cash, you just need to make the thief believe that you can make up so much." ”

Vice Chief Yao paced back and forth in the room, his mind quickly calculated, in the end, it was an elite, and a brilliant way quickly came up with it.

"Yes, with a batch of gold bars, cash, plus dollars, pounds, and a large number of Deutsche marks and franc banknotes, as much as you want!"

Wu Bingxiang nodded and said, "Good plan." ”

After the European War, the Deutsche Mark and the French franc depreciated sharply, and it seems that the banknotes with huge face value are actually worthless, similar to waste paper, but ordinary people don't even have much contact with Yinyang, and foreign banknotes are even more ignorant.

Vice Chief Yao made a phone call, ordered someone to go to the Bank of Communications to raise money for depreciation of foreign currency, opened the safe at home, took out 20 gold bars and 3,000 pieces of ocean, and made some jewelry gestures, looking a dazzling box, very attractive.

The maid hung a red lantern outside the mansion, and the red light hanging at noon was very strange, and passers-by couldn't help but look twice.

Yao Cichang walked back and forth anxiously, and suddenly the phone rang, Li Sansi picked up the receiver of the extension and motioned to Yao Cichang to answer the phone.

"Hey." Deputy Chief Yao grabbed the microphone and asked.

"Vice Chief Yao, you are not righteous, you have recruited so many black dogs to come to the door, do you still want your daughter?" It was still the voice that was neither yin nor yang ringing in my ears.

"Where is my daughter? I'm going to talk to her. Deputy Chief Yao said in accordance with the police's request.

"Is the money ready?" The other party didn't answer, and asked rhetorically.

Vice Chief Yao looked at Li Sansi, and the other party nodded.

"The red lantern has been hung out, don't you see?"

"Ready so soon? Vice Chief Yao's house is really a sea of gold and silver. ”

"It's almost, it's almost ready, the figure of 500,000 is too big, I took out all the gold bars at home, and there are a lot of foreign banknotes, two big suitcases, how can I hand them over to you?" Deputy Chief Yao said.

"You personally take it on the train, take the blue steel express at half past two in the afternoon to Tianjin, I will naturally send someone to receive it, but it must be fast, it is not good to delay until dark."

"I'm going to talk to my daughter."

The other party hung up the phone directly.

Vice Chief Yao held the voiceless earpiece and still shouted feeding.

Wu Bingxiang came over and took the microphone from Vice Chief Yao's hand, put it on the card, shook it, and picked it up again: "Telephone Bureau, I'm Wu Bingxiang, which number was brought into Yao's Mansion just now?" ”

The National Police Agency has long arranged for manpower in the telephone bureau, and there are only a few hundred telephones in Beijing, and they all rely on the operators to transfer them manually, so it is really convenient to check the source of the phone.

Soon the information came, and the call was actually a long-distance transfer from the Tianjin Telephone Bureau!

Without further ado, Wu Bingxiang immediately arranged for two capable detectives to help Vice Chief Yao rush to the railway station by car with a large suitcase, and at the same time he urgently dispatched more than 50 plainclothes and short guns and daggers to the railway station in the shortest possible time, and at the same time telegraphed to the Tianjin Police Department to send cadres to assist.

The railway between Beijing and Tianjin is quite convenient, there are several trains between the two places every day, this kind of passenger car is imported from the United States, luxurious and generous, the wagon is painted blue, so it is called the blue steel express.

There are three classes of buses, the first-class carriage is for high-ranking government officials and foreigners, the second-class carriage is for ordinary employees, students, businessmen and other social backbones, and the third-class carriage is for the general public.

Vice Chief Yao naturally wants to sit in the first-class carriage, and those plainclothes detectives do not have this treatment, scattered in the second- and third-class carriages, strictly protecting the safety of Vice Chief Yao.

When the car passed through Fengtai, a teenage servant walked into the first-class carriage with a tea tray and said in a loud voice: "Which guest's surname is Yao?" ”

The plainclothes people immediately put down the newspaper in their hands and looked at the kid, and in the face of so many fierce eyes, the servants no longer cared.

Yao Cichang said slowly: "My surname is Yao, what's the matter with you." ”

The servant stepped forward and handed over a note: "Someone asked me to give this to you." ”

Vice Chief Yao took the note and looked at it, and there was a crooked line of words on it: When you see the red-roofed house, quickly throw the ransom out of the window without delay.

What a cunning thief! The time of the calculation was extremely accurate, and there was no time for Yao Cichang and them to think, and in a blink of an eye, they saw a red-roofed house in the distance, standing next to the railway, probably the house where the workers on duty at the turnout lived.

Deputy Chief Yao immediately made a decision and ordered: "Throw the box out quickly!" ”

Two large suitcases were thrown out of the window, the train was still moving at high speed, the plainclothes patrolmen put their heads out of the window, and saw several fast horses rushing out of the distance, and the rider quickly leaned over to carry the suitcase to the horse's back, and then shouted loudly, and whipped away.

The plainclothes people looked at each other, and no one had the courage to jump out of the car to chase after them.

Li Sansi, the old detective in the capital, was also dumbfounded, the other party's road was completely different from the kidnappers in the former Qing Dynasty, and he actually used advanced gadgets such as telephones and trains, and his own set of detection techniques was completely outdated, and he couldn't keep up with the other party's train of thought.
