Chapter 118: It's Time to Get an Undercover Agent
Xia Shi's action team caught a total of three suspects near the media company, namely Lili and Ah Fei, who were responsible for abducting the girl, and Xiaohai, an accomplice who drove to pick them up.
After the three men were brought back to the city office, they were immediately interrogated by the police. Because they were caught by the police when they committed the crime, all three of them confessed to the crime they committed and truthfully explained the specific details of the abduction case.
It turned out that these three people had colluded with people inside the company as early as a few months ago, using the convenience of recruiting part-time models to screen out young girls with good image and temperament, and follow them up after the application was over, and choose the right time to attack them.
Their modus operandi is basically the same as when they kidnapped Jonan. First, Lily pretends that her old classmate is close to the target to divert the target's attention, and Ah Fei takes advantage of the target's unpreparedness to stun him, but he and Lily hold the target to a certain place, waiting for Xiaohai's car to pick them up.
In the past few months, they have successfully kidnapped eight girls using the same routine and obtained nearly 50,000 yuan in ill-gotten gains. They don't know where the girls really are, but they provide two very valuable clues:
First, they handed over all the girls they had kidnapped to a person named Brother Yu. The man was about forty years old, with a stout build, a bald head, and a distinct scar on his neck. It is said that this man once spent two years in prison for intentional injury, and he was a very difficult guy to provoke. Xiaohai and Brother Yu met when they were serving their sentences in prison. After being released from prison, Xiaohai first found Brother Yu, and then brought two friends to abduct and sell girls together.
Second, the person who colluded with them in the company was none other than Ms. Chen, the company's HR in charge of recruitment. This woman has the private information of all the applicants, and their targets are screened by this woman. Whenever a candidate goes to the company for an interview, Ms. Chen will secretly contact them, and once she finds a suitable target, Ms. Chen will send them the target's information and let them wait for the opportunity to start acting.
How Ms. Chen colluded with Brother Yu, they don't know. But everyone doing this "business" together must be for the benefit of money. After all, Ms. Chen just sat in the office and moved her fingers casually, sent messages, and the income she obtained was already higher than her salary.
The police found the emails that Ms. Chen had sent to them from the suspect's mobile phone. The email contains basic information such as the applicant's name, age, height, etc., as well as a photo of the applicant.
According to incomplete statistics, Ms. Chen has screened out 21 targets for them (there may be some information that has been deleted by the suspect), but because some targets do not have a suitable opportunity, Xiaohai and the others finally succeeded in kidnapping a total of eight people. Mu Zi's friend Jiang Xiaoyan was one of the eight victims.
Next, the police must find a way to get close to the fish brother and find out where the abducted girls ended up. I hope they are all alive and sound, and they can hold on until the moment when the police go to rescue them.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Song took Qi Ruonan from the hospital back to the city bureau. As soon as the two of them walked into the office, Zhao Xiaolin immediately ran over and asked for warmth, "Ruonan, are you okay?" He scratched his hair with a guilty look on his face. That, I'm sorry about this morning's incident......"
"I'm fine." Qi Ruonan waved his hand indifferently, "I'm not as squeamish as you think." I just think that next time something like this happens, you should discuss it with me beforehand. Actually, my acting skills are very good, as a comrade-in-arms, you should trust me a little! ”
"Yes, no matter what plan you have next time, we will definitely discuss it with you in advance, and we will never let you be left alone in the dark." Zhao Xiaolin said with a smile, but Gu Song frowned dissatisfiedly, and gently touched Ruonan with his elbow, "What is the next time?" If there is such a dangerous mission in the future, I will not agree to let you carry it out. ”
"Hmph." Qi Ruonan glanced at Gu Song disapprerovingly, and said half-jokingly, "Some people are jealous that our team has completed the task well, but their own bait plan has failed. ”
"You dead girl, why don't you open which pot to mention." As soon as he mentioned this, Gu Song's heart was full of fire. He was about to refute, but Qiao Sheng suddenly called him at the door, "Gu Song, you come out and ask you something." ”
Gu Song sighed depressedly, and when he turned to leave, he heard Qi Ruonan ask Zhao Xiaolin with a smile, "Have you and Brother Xia Shi thought about what to treat me to eat?" I heard that a new Cantonese restaurant has opened in New Century Plaza, and the online evaluation is very good......"
Gu Song smiled bitterly and shook his head, the worry about Ruonan in his heart disappeared in that instant.
The two of them came to Qiao Sheng's office, Qiao Sheng immediately closed the door and asked Gu Song with a serious expression, "Are you sure about what you said this morning?" ”
Gu Song thought for a moment and replied seriously: "It's not too big to grasp, but it's indeed a possibility. I carefully pondered the matter of Jiang Shun from beginning to end, and found that our work was indeed very rigorous, and theoretically we would not be detected by the enemy. But now that the mission has failed, we have to go back and explore the reasons for the failure.
"If you rule out the possibility of someone leaking secrets within the police, whether unintentional or deliberate, unless Jiang Shun's every move is monitored by people in the gang, theoretically no one will know that he has defected to the police. And I think that Jiang Shun, as a member of the lowest level of the mission, the people in the gang should not be idle enough to spy on him. So there's also the possibility that we're negligent in our own work.
"Do you remember the mysterious woman he mentioned when interrogating Jiang Shun? That person should have a high status in the criminal gang, and maybe be the final boss we're looking for. Liu Yang of the F sub-bureau took the simulated portrait to the Valley of the Stars bar to inquire about the whereabouts of the mysterious woman, but only obtained some information casually made up by the other party, which did not help solve the case. However, Liu Yang's move has laid a safety hazard for our actions.
"Just imagine, if the mysterious woman's appearance in the bar was not accidental, and if there were people inside the bar who were in collusion with the criminal gang, I could even be even more daring to imagine that the bar itself had some problems. So, going to the bar to find out the news is just a revelation of what we're about to do. Of course, there is absolutely no evidence for what I am saying, and it is only one of the more likely hypotheses. ”
"Well, I understand." Qiao Sheng nodded, and he also agreed with Gu Song's assumption in his heart. Thinking of this morning's scene, he asked again, "Are you embarrassed to mention this matter in front of him because you took into account Liu Yang's feelings?" ”
"Yes." Gu Song replied truthfully, "I'm afraid that he is worried that his investigation behavior has caused the failure of the mission, and he will feel a burden in his heart." So I don't want to talk nonsense until things are figured out. In fact, Liu Yang didn't do anything wrong, no matter who it was, when clues were scarce, he would think of going to the bar to inquire about the news, after all, that was the only place where the police could investigate the mysterious woman at present. If it weren't for the failure of today's bait plan, I wouldn't have guessed that there was something wrong with the people in the bar. So ......"
"You've thought it through." Qiao Sheng smiled with relief, and then showed a worried expression again. "But next, where should the baby thief gang start? Now that the wind is tight outside, it is estimated that the people above will have to hide to avoid the limelight, and it may not be so easy to lure them out. ”
"If you really can't get it, then there's only one way!"
"You mean ......"
Gu Song spread his hands helplessly, "Maybe it's time to find an undercover agent to break into the enemy's interior and test the water." ”
"Okay, we'll make a decision on this matter after the case discussion meeting. I still want to ask you a question. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Do you still feel like there's a connection between the two gangs through this morning's double-bait operation?"
"This ......" Gu Song's heart was a little hesitant. In fact, he has been thinking about this question today, especially when one side of the mission fails and the other side succeeds, and he also begins to doubt whether his speculation is reliable.
Sure enough, Qiao Sheng then brought up the things he was puzzled about. "If the situation is as you said, because of our negligence in our work, the other party noticed the wind and grass, and the bait of Jiang Shun did not work, but why did the bait of the media company catch three small fish? If they are the same criminal organization, shouldn't they be aware of the rumors and be vigilant at the same time? ”
"You have a point, maybe I really made a mistake this time. Thinking about it carefully, it was only half a year since Shen Hang escaped from the underground prison. Under his conditions at the time, it was not something that could be done immediately to develop a large-scale criminal organization in such a short period of time. According to the information we have so far, the criminal gangs on both sides have a certain size, and they have not been committing crimes for a short time. If the mastermind behind the scenes is Shen Hang, then his speed is really admirable. ”
"So, don't you think there's a common connection between the two gangs now?"
"Nope." Gu Song shook his head, and it seemed that he hadn't completely given up on this idea in his heart. "There is also the possibility that the other party may not have thought that the police would link these two seemingly unrelated groups together. They may think that the police are only eyeing Jiang Shun as a pawn at present, because when Liu Yang went to the bar to investigate, the focus was on the day Jiang Shun was harassed. As for the media companies, they felt that they should be safe for the time being, so they did not stop their criminal activities. ”
"That is, you still insist that the investigation on both sides should be carried out at the same time to find out the connection that exists between them?"
Gu Song did not answer this question directly. After being silent for a few seconds, he looked at Qiao Sheng seriously and said, "At this point, whether there is a connection between the two gangs is no longer the most important thing. Our task is to sweep them all together and expel them from this society. Regardless of whether the mastermind behind the scenes is a person or several people, whether they have a previous relationship or not, whether they know each other or not, their final destination is the same, that is, prison. ”
