The Culprit Truth: Chapter 10

1.58 million, where can you get so much money?

Fang Bin sat on the sofa and grabbed his hair in distress, feeling weak, even if he had the heart to save Lin Han in every way, he didn't have the strength to fight back.

The two had no other way but to go back to Fang Bin's house to think about countermeasures, and the other party only gave two days to raise money, and there was other information in addition.

Li Muchuan, who was sitting on the side, felt that things were not so simple, 1.58 million? Why does this number have zero and round?

"Fang Bin, don't you think it's strange?"

"What's weird?" Fang Bin didn't raise his head, just a weak sentence, which was counted as a response.

Li Muchuan leaned closer to Fang Bin's side and continued: "Look, the ransom demanded by the other party is 1.58 million, shouldn't the ordinary kidnappers ask for a whole number?" 1 million? 2 million? 158 There are zero and whole thousand, does it mean something else? ”

Fang Bin's mind didn't pay attention to listening to Li Muchuan's words, he was still immersed in the mood of Lin Han being kidnapped, but he just heard "1.58 million" and replied:

"I must know that I can't come up with more money, so I'm going to have to have a little less, what's weird."

"No, it's not." Fang Bin's answer was immediately vetoed by Li Muchuan, and in Li Muchuan's thinking, the other party would never say this number so simply.

"Think about it, recently, has anyone ever told you about the number 158, whether you buy it, or you sell it?"

Following Li Muchuan's guidance, Fang Bin raised his head slightly, thoughtfully, rummaging through the past memories in his mind, focusing on the number "158".

Time seems to come to a standstill at this moment, one is thinking, one is quietly waiting.

"Oh, I remember!" Fang Bin exclaimed, "Someone once said that the number is 1.58 million!" ”

Li Muchuan hurriedly asked: "What are you going to do with 1.58 million?" ”

"The other party wants to buy my clinic for 1.58 million."

Fang Bin's dentist clinic finally gained a firm foothold after a business war baptism, becoming a well-known local dental clinic, which seems to have a lot of income from the outside, and few people know that in fact, Fang Bin has long been unable to make ends meet because of the "price war" debt.

However, after Fang Bin's calculations, as long as time passes, the problem of income deficit will be solved sooner or later, and he is still very confident in this.

One day, a man in professional clothes in a suit walked into the clinic to meet with Fang Bin, but he refused to say what he was talking about. When he came, it happened to be a time when there were more guests, and Fang Bin didn't come out to see him immediately, and after seeing a few patients, he also left this matter behind.

When he walked to the front desk after work in the evening, he found that the person was still sitting in the waiting area, Fang Bin felt very sorry, so he said that they would eat together and talk while eating.

The man did not show dissatisfaction because of the waiting for most of the day, and looked very gentlemanly and educated.

The man introduced himself as Wang Tian, and then bluntly stated the purpose of his visit: he wanted to buy Xiabin's clinic.

The topic of Wang Tian's interview with himself surprised Fang Bin, he didn't expect that the other party would want to buy the clinic he had worked so hard to establish.

When Fang Bin was about to loudly reject Wang Tian's proposal, the king on the opposite side waved his hand at him, stopping what he had not yet spoken.

"Don't rush to refuse, listen to the conditions first. Mr. Fang, your clinic is running very well, and it is one of the best dental clinics in the city. You are also very bold personally, and you have taken food from several other established clinics, which I personally really admire. However, after a little investigation, I also found that there are many problems in the clinic, no, to be exact, you have some personal problems: if you are not mistaken, you have a loan shark, right? ”

Fang Bin clenched his fists and listened to the other party's words, with a displeased expression on his face.

Wang Tian smiled slightly: "I don't mean anything else, I'm still very optimistic about your clinic, so I will pay 1.58 million to buy your clinic, and this price is calculated." With this money, not only can you solve your urgent needs at once, but also pay off your debts, and you can also leave a part of it, which is a very good proposal, Mr. Fang, I hope you will seriously consider it. ”

After speaking, Wang Tian picked up the water cup and took a sip, waiting for Fang Bin's response.

"I'm not going to sell it." Fang Bin's answer was very resolute, without a trace of hesitation.

Fang Bin's answer seemed to be expected by Wang Tian, and he didn't seem very surprised, took out a business card from the inside pocket of his suit and put it in front of Fang Bin's desk.

"This is my business card, I hope you go back and think about it again, don't make such impulsive decisions, change your mind and come to me at random."

stood up, patted Fang Bin on the shoulder, and left the restaurant.

"After that, I never contacted him again, and I forgot about it, but I still have his business card." Saying that, Fang Bin hurriedly found a somewhat wrinkled business card from the mezzanine of his wallet and handed it to Li Muchuan.

It was a very elaborate business card with the words "Wang Tilt" written on it, and the position was that of a regional agent for a pharmaceutical company.

Fang Bin also leaned over and looked at the business card, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be him?" ”

Li Muchuan shook his head: "The possibility is very small, I think the kidnappers just knew that Wang Tian wanted to buy your clinic for 1.58 million, so he gave a ransom of 1.58 million, because you paid this ransom." However, only if you agree to sell your clinic. ”

Sell the clinic? Fang Bin never thought about this, he had exhausted his efforts for the clinic, and even borrowed loan sharks to keep the clinic afloat, and now it is not easy to sell it.

Just when Fang Bin hesitated, Li Muchuan gave another choice, "Or you can choose not to save it, Lin Han is just your girlfriend after all." ”

"No, it's impossible, I want to save Lin Han, I want to save her!" Faced with the affirmative answer given by Fang Bin, Li Muchuan was silent, waiting for Fang Bin to make a final decision.

On the one hand, there is a clinic that has been painstakingly established, and on the other hand, there is a woman I love deeply.

Both sides of the scale can't make decisions, and Fang Bin can't bear to give up on either side.

At this time, Fang Bin's mobile phone rang again, he picked up the mobile phone in a little panic, and Li Muchuan on the side quickly turned on the recording function of the mobile phone, and when everything was ready, Fang Bin trembled and pressed the answer button.

"Hey." Fang Bin's voice trembled a little.

A processed voice came from the other end of the line, "See you at 10 p.m. the next night in the first row of chairs on the east side of People's Park!" Remember! Put the money in the chair! ”

Before Fang Bin could respond, the other party hung up the phone.

Faced with the time and place of the transaction given by the kidnappers, Fang Bin deeply felt the sense of oppression.

"Wait, Fang Bin, listen, what is this?" Li Muchuan took the mobile phone to his ear and listened carefully.

It turned out to be a call recording just recorded by Li Muchuan, and he called the mobile phone setting public playback, and the voice just now immediately came out of the mobile phone. Aside from the kidnapper's processed voice, Fang Bin didn't notice anything wrong.

Li Muchuan rewinded the recording to the last few seconds, and he could clearly hear the sound of a bell.

"Are you familiar with this voice? It was exactly ten o'clock in the evening, and if I guessed correctly, it was the sound of a large bell. ”

The bell in the recording, Fang Bin seems to have heard it somewhere. This kind of sound is indeed uncommon in the city, but Fang Bin remembers hearing it before, just once.

No matter how hard you try, the feeling of not being able to recall something is really heart-wrenching, obviously on the edge of memory, but Fang Bin just can't remember it.

"I remember! I remember! I once heard this sound in a factory building in the suburbs with a clock on the wall! ”

Fang Bin remembered that when he went to the factory on the outskirts of Heihu, he once passed by a factory area, and a clock hung on the outer wall of the main building on the outermost side. Fang Bin was impressed because when the clock also rang a few times, Fang Bin noticed that it was just on time.

Saying that, Fang Bin opened the map on his phone, swiped a few times, and found the location he said, "Look, it should be here." ”

The location of the factory is more than 30 kilometers away from the People's Park referred to by the kidnappers in the call, so where are the kidnappers and Lin Han? On the map, there is nothing near the factory except for the nearby road, except for a gray square with no name.

Fang Bin looked at the map and wondered in his heart, "I really didn't pay attention to what was near the factory at that time." ”

"Fang Bin, we have to make preparations with both hands."

Ready to do both? Fang Bin didn't understand what Li Muchuan's two hands were.

Li Muchuan continued to explain: "We have no way to judge where Lin Han is being held now, I will go to the place of the bell tower tomorrow to check what clues there are, and I can't guarantee that Lin Han is near the bell tower." Another thing is something you need to decide. ”

Fang Bin didn't know what decision he was going to make. "What are you going to do?"

Li Muchuan said helplessly: "Whether to sell the store to save Lin Han or not, time is running out." ”

Wang Tian was not surprised by Fang Bin's call, in fact, in his opinion, what he gave was an undecidable price, coupled with the debt crisis, today's call was expected.

The reason why Fang Bin suddenly changed his mind and agreed to sell the shop, Wang Tian didn't have any interest in wanting to know, his purpose was just to get to the clinic, and he didn't care about the rest.

However, Fang Bin offered to complete the transaction tomorrow and get 1.58 million in cash. This additional requirement was indeed surprising to Wang Tian, and Fang Bin said that this was a hard condition for reaching a deal, and if it could not be met, the clinic would not be sold.

Wang Tian's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood that Fang Bin had suddenly encountered a place where money was urgently needed, which was why he agreed to sell the clinic. I am happy in my heart, and God can be regarded as helping me. However, of course, Wang Tian will not show any gloating expression on the surface, and Wang Tian still has this professionalism.

Immediately completing the transaction and the transfer of assets and materials, although it is not a routine operation, but it is not difficult for Wang Tian, after all, he has been operating in the city for so many years, and the relationship between the top and bottom is basically very thorough. The cash of 1.58 million is not a problem, and the company's bank account has sufficient cash reserves, and as the agent of the city, it is up to you to decide how to mobilize this money.

Wang Tian immediately made a few phone calls to friends in relevant institutions and informed the bank to reserve 1.58 million yuan in cash, and everything went well, but the bank told him that the cash of 1.58 million yuan could not be withdrawn until tomorrow at the earliest.

Fang Bin thought about it, it didn't matter, as long as he could get the money before he got off work tomorrow, he wouldn't delay the delivery of the ransom at 10 p.m.

agreed to go through the formalities at eight o'clock tomorrow and get the money, and the two separated.

At this time, Li Muchuan was near the factory that Fang Bin said.

This is a factory that is still in use, and from a distance you can see a clock hanging on the outer wall of the factory building, which will be broadcast on the hour, making the sound of bells, which is supposed to give workers a hint of time to use. Because the factory is located in the suburbs, and it is close to the highway, there are basically no people nearby, and there are villages. However, Li Muchuan saw an old building next to the factory, and when he got closer, he found that it was an unfinished building, with only six floors, but the infrastructure was built, and the rest of the things were not done.

Li Muchuan was waiting for the punctual time in the unfinished building, the bell of the factory came from a distance, and the sound was recorded with his mobile phone, compared with the previous fairy tale recording, it was indeed somewhat similar, if there was no mistake, the place where the kidnappers called.

However, this does not mean that Lin Han is also here.

The unfinished building is not big, Li Muchuan looked for clues layer by layer, and found a section of used black tape on the ground of a room on the sixth floor of the top floor. He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and according to the marks of the black tape being pulled on the edges, it should be the marks left by someone tying something hard.

Li Muchuan guessed that this was the black tape used to tie Lin Han.

Li Muchuan put the black tape in his pocket.

When the bell rang, it was Fang Bin who called, telling Li Muchuan that he had done it there, but he would not get the money until tomorrow, and asked if he had found anything on his side.

Li Muchuan truthfully told Fang Bin that this was probably the place where the kidnappers called, and the bell heard here was very similar to the one in the recording, but he deliberately concealed the discovery of the black tape and did not tell Fang Bin.

Just after eight o'clock the next day, Wang Tian called and informed Fang Bin that he could go through the formalities, and he had already driven downstairs at his house and waited.

The efficiency of businessmen is really high, and in order to achieve business, even the most difficult things can be done.

With the green light all the way, Fang Bin's process of reselling the clinic went very fast, and it was specially approved after signing a few words. Looking at the names he signed, Fang Bin felt that his heart was dripping blood, and his years of hard work disappeared. There wasn't much time to grieve, Fang Bin was more concerned about using the money to save Lin Han.

Because Wang Tian said hello in advance, the bank prepared 1.58 million cash early, and after the inventory was completed, it was delivered to Fang Bin. Wang Tian prepared a suitcase early and put 1.58 million cash in it. If it weren't for the suitcase prepared by Wang Tian, Fang Bin really didn't know how to take away the 1.58 million cash.

Walking out of the bank gate, Wang Tian stretched out his right hand to hold Fang Bin, saying "happy cooperation", revealing the signature smile of a professional manager.

Since then, that clinic has nothing to do with Fang Bin. Dragging a suitcase full of 1.58 million cash, Fang Bin felt in a trance, feeling unreal, and the sudden change disrupted everything.

There is not much time left for emotion, and the most important thing now is to prepare for the transaction.

As night falls, people return to their nests, and the streets are rarely crowded except for neon lights flickering to solicit business. Summer has come to an end, and the nights are a little cool, a precursor to early autumn.

People's Park is free of the noise of the day, leaving the whole area quiet, quiet, and the sound of knowing can be heard. The white street lamps illuminated the rows of chairs below, and during the day, the chairs were full of parents watching their children, but at the moment, only one person was sitting quietly.

The man looked very restless, fidgeting, rubbing his hands together, looking in both directions from time to time, as if waiting for something.

On the other side of the chair was a suitcase, about a meter or so away from the man.

This person is Fang Bin, and he is waiting for the kidnappers.

Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer to the agreed 10 o'clock, but he didn't see any figures, Fang Bin was a little anxious, thinking that the kidnappers wouldn't change their minds temporarily.

At the moment, he just wants to complete the transaction smoothly and return Lin Han'an to himself safely, and when the person returns, the rest will be solved. The ransom of 1.58 million is regarded as the past, and there is always a chance to earn money again, but if people lose it, they will not have the opportunity to hold hands and rely on each other for a lifetime.

After thinking for a long time and relieving himself, Fang Bin realized that the time had come to 10:05, 5 minutes later than the agreed time, and there was still no movement in the entire park, and there was no one except himself.

Wait, wait, wait. Fang Bin kept hinting at himself in his heart.

At this moment, a bright light could be seen in the distance, gradually increasing in size from far to near, accompanied by bursts of roars. Fang Bin was so shaken by the dazzling light that he couldn't see clearly, and he raised his arm to cover it, and he could vaguely see the outline of a motorcycle.

Before Fang Bin could react, he saw the motorcycle quickly stop in front of Fang Bin, and a man in black wearing a helmet got down from above, and quickly put the luggage on the chair on the rear rack that had been prepared, quickly stepped on the motorcycle, twisted the accelerator and drove away.

Seeing that the man was about to leave, Fang Bin immediately got up and tried to grab the other party with his hand, "Where is Lin Han?" Where is Lin Han? Hysterically shouted to the other party, of course, the other party did not respond, broke free from the obstruction of Fang Bin's hands, gave the accelerator, and accelerated away.

The shadow of the motorcycle gradually disappeared from Fang Bin's sight, and Fang Bin was at a loss and froze in place.

The mobile phone in his trouser pocket rang, and it was a call from Li Muchuan.

"Fang Bin, you go back to your car now, wait for my message, I will follow this person now."

After a brief instruction, the phone was hung up. Another point of light lit up in one corner of the park, and gradually moved under the street lamp, and Fang Bin saw that it was Li Muchuan riding a motorcycle.

He was following the kidnappers.

Unexpectedly, Li Muchuan had already prepared that after the kidnappers took the money, he would follow his whereabouts and follow the vine to find the location where Lin Han was kidnapped.

At this moment, the only thing Fang Bin could do was to stay in the car and pray that Li Muchuan would be well.

Time seemed to be stretched out tenfold, and Fang Bin in the car had to glance at his phone every once in a while, wondering why Li Muchuan hadn't given a message yet. There were even auditory hallucinations, hearing the phone ringing and picking it up but nothing.

Fang Bin heard his mobile phone ring again, this time it was true news.

But it's not Li Muchuan.

The sender of the text message is Fang Bin's familiar name: Black Tiger.

Fang Bin trembled and opened the text message, the content of the text message was a video, and it could be seen from the cover that it was Lin Han.

He didn't know what the video was about, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he mustered up the courage to click play

In the video, Lin Han's limbs were tied to a chair, unable to move, and his clothes were obviously torn, revealing his underwear and snow-white skin. It is constantly shaking, trying to resist the invasion of the videographer. Fang Bin watched as a hand roamed over Lin Han's body, arm, neck, and chest. Lin Han, whose mouth was gagged, could only make a whining sound, but he could hear the rejection in his heart.

The video screen went black, and Fang Bin thought that there was a problem with his mobile phone, but there were still 10 seconds left in the video progress bar.

A familiar voice reappeared, and Fang Bin couldn't be more familiar.

"Thank you for the money, man, I'll send it to you, but your girlfriend is too beautiful, before leaving, make me comfortable."

At the end of the video, Fang Bin in front of the mobile phone screen couldn't calm down for a long time, and the images of Lin Han being invaded and the rough hand kept flashing in Fang Bin's mind, accompanied by the sound of the kidnapper.

Slammed into the steering wheel, Fang Bin's anger could be heard in the empty block. There was fire in his eyes, and his muscles were bursting out, and Fang Bin at this moment was already enraged by the kidnapper's actions. Lin Han was his beloved, and the thought of his girlfriend being ruined by the kidnappers made Fang Bin's anger rise in his heart.

The phone rang again, this time it was Li Muchuan calling.

Fang Bin quickly picked up the phone as if grasping a life-saving straw, and without waiting for Li Muchuan to speak, he begged and said: "Xiaochuan, Xiaochuan, have you found Lin Han, is she safe!" ”

The other side of the phone paused for a few seconds, and then Li Muchuan's familiar voice came, but he could be heard deliberately lowering his voice.

"Fang Bin, I followed that person all the way to the suburbs, near the factory I checked before, and I will send you a text message at the address. The man never came out of the house after he entered the house, I don't know how many people were inside, you come here now, the two of us have a better grasp. ”

After hanging up the phone, Li Muchuan's text message arrived immediately, and the car started quickly, ran the red light all the way, and ran to the destination.

After getting off the highway, the car could no longer move forward, and Fang Bin could only follow the mobile phone navigation to continue walking. About five minutes later, Fang Bin found Li Muchuan near a low brick house.

It's not far from the factory, but it's on the other side of the road, and unlike the factory opposite, it's not inhabited, it's just a deserted field, and for some reason no one continues to plant. The low brick house was supposed to be built by farmers in the past to watch the land and live in it.

After the two squatted in a weed next to the low brick house, Fang Bin had just trotted over, and now he was panting, Li Muchuan wanted Fang Bin to slow down and enter the house again, Fang Bin waved his hand, indicating that he had no problem.

There was not a trace of movement or light in the low brick house, it seemed to be a dead thing, lifeless, and no one could be seen from the outside. The two of them slowly approached the doorway of the low brick house, standing on the left and right sides.

The sky was clear and the moonlight was beautiful, but at the moment the two had no intention of watching, but the moonlight was enough to illuminate the night. Li Muchuan looked inside through the crack in the door, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Before Li Muchuan could react, Fang Bin couldn't hold his breath and pushed the wooden door open.

Li Muchuan cursed in his heart, he didn't know the situation inside, so he rushed in, which was very dangerous to himself and Lin Han. But the door had been suddenly opened, and Li Muchuan had to rush in, picking up a scattered brick from the corner of the wall in case of emergency.

When the door was opened, the moonlight illuminated the otherwise unclear room, and everything became clear. Fang Bin stood at the door, and at a glance he saw a person on the chair in the center of the room, it was Lin Han. At this moment, she had passed out, unconscious, and didn't know what she had suffered before, but seeing Lin Han's torn clothes and part of her body exposed, it was not difficult for Fang Bin to imagine what kind of torture and insults Lin Han had suffered before.

The anger in his heart ignited, and in the face of the insult of his beloved woman, Fang Bin couldn't calm down.

Behind Lin Han was a chair and table, and he could vaguely see a person lying on the table, as if he was asleep.

Li Muchuan walked over softly, glanced at the man, and said in a low voice, "It's a black tiger, it should be drunk." He pointed to the half-drunk bottled two-pot head on the table.

It's all connected! After getting 1.58 million, the black tiger was in a good mood, so he drank to cheer up, and after the wine came up, he looked at the beautiful and moving Lin Han, and couldn't hold it back, and he had bad intentions.

Fang Bin's mind appeared again with scenes from the video, his hands trembled, his eyes showed murderous intent, and he looked at the unconscious black tiger on the table bloodthirsty.

Of course, Li Muchuan sensed that Fang Bin was wrong, so he wanted to dissuade Fang Bin from calming down, but before the words could be spoken, everything happened, and it happened too suddenly.

He only felt that the brick in his hand was snatched from his hand by a great force, and then he saw Fang Bin pick up the brick and smash it towards the black tiger's head.

One, two, three...... I don't know how many times I smashed it, until Fang Bin gasped and had no strength.

The liquid dripping from the bricks was not known to be blood or brains, mixed together, and fell viscously to the ground.

The Black Tiger Pit didn't say a word, it became a dead corpse, its head was smashed by Fang Bin and lost its original shape, and its flesh and blood were blurred.

Fang Bin, who had exhausted the last trace of strength in his body, sat on the ground, looking at the lifeless black tiger with empty eyes, and the brick in his hand also fell to the ground and fell in half.

"Xiaochuan, I killed someone, I killed someone." Fang Bin, who came back to his senses, kept chattering.

Looking at the corpse of the black tiger, although Li Muchuan was also shocked by Fang Bin's actions, he did not stop his actions, but at this moment he looked at Fang Bin, thinking about how to end it.

The quiet night, the moonlight that no one watched, no one knew that under the moonlight, a life was quietly gone, except for the two of them.

Squatting beside Fang Bin, Li Muchuan gently patted Fang Bin's shoulder, and Fang Bin's body, which was like a frightened bird, trembled, and looked at Li Muchuan with sustenance in his eyes. I hope that Li Muchuan can help himself.

"Fang Bin, you take Lin Han to leave here quickly and go home directly."

"What about you?"

"You don't care, I don't know what's best for you."

Hearing Li Muchuan's words, Fang Bin propped himself up, picked up Lin Han, who was still unconscious, and walked out of the low brick house.

Halfway through the field path, Fang Bin unconsciously replied Looking at the small low brick house in the distance, it was as dark as an abyss, and he couldn't see Li Muchuan, and he didn't know what he would do.
