Chapter 200: 2 million ransom
"You mean, the kidnappers terminated the deal?" Gu Song asked in surprise.
Meng Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "I still don't know the situation yet. What is certain, however, is that the child's situation is very dangerous. We have to find clues as soon as possible about her abduction. After speaking, Meng Yu looked up at the door number of the classroom, and finally fell on the door of the classroom of the fifth class of the fourth year, "Brother Song, is the female teacher who talked to you just now the head teacher of the fifth class of the fourth year?" ”
"That's right."
Meng Yu said "um", walked quickly to Teacher Zhang, who looked confused, showed his ID and said, "Hello, I am a police officer from the R City Public Security Bureau, is Wu Xueyao a student in your class?" ”
"Yes......" Teacher Zhang didn't understand what was going on, he looked at Meng Yu nervously and suspiciously, and then at Gu Song who was following her, and before she could ask, He Weiqi rushed in front and asked: "Gu ......" As soon as he said a word, he immediately changed his words, "Uncle, what's wrong with Xue Yao?" ”
Gu Song was not used to this new title for a while, and was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know very well." Meng Yu hurriedly explained: "Don't be nervous, I just want to find out about Wu Xueyao's situation, about a female student in the second class of the fourth year." ”
"In that case, we won't bother." Gu Song glanced at He Weiqi, patted Meng Yu on the shoulder and said, "Come on, if you don't have enough manpower, ask the leader for instructions." Shootings are important, but there should be no mistakes in children's affairs. ”
"I don't want anything else, I just want you to help us." Meng Yu smiled bitterly and waved his hand to say goodbye to Gu Song.
When I came to the playground, the junior students had already begun to leave school one after another, and the quiet campus became noisy and lively. A group of parents gathered at the school gate to pick up their children. Some craned their necks and searched for their treasures among the cheering students; Some people chatted with the parents next to them, exchanging valuable parenting experiences with each other; There are also people who look down and fiddle with their phones, not knowing if they are busy with something or too bored to wait.
It is not easy to kidnap a child in such a chaotic scene. A 10-year-old already has a certain amount of judgment and will not be easily deceived by strangers. If the kidnappers use violence, in such a crowded place, the struggle and the plea for help will inevitably attract the attention of others, and only the kidnappers who lack the heart will choose such a risky way. Gu Song looked up at the two surveillance probes that stood prominently at the gate of the school, thinking that it was unlikely that the kidnappers would attack here.
There is also a possibility that an acquaintance committed the crime. According to statistics, more than eighty percent of kidnapping cases are committed by acquaintances, and acquaintances commit crimes, and the probability of tearing up tickets is relatively high. Nearly 48 hours have passed since the disappearance of the little girl, and the longer the delay, the more detrimental it is to the victim. If parents had called the police earlier, the success rate of rescuing hostages might have been higher, but now ......
"Officer Gu, what do you want?" Seeing that Gu Song was absent-minded after leaving the teaching building, He Weiqi couldn't help but be a little worried. "That man was your colleague, right? What is he looking for Wu Xueyao for? ”
Gu Song came back to her senses, stared at He Weiqi for a few seconds and said, "Wu Xueyao is the little girl who was bullied and cried by you yesterday, right?" ”
He Weiqi's face turned red, and he replied hesitantly: "I said that I didn't mean to provoke her, it was my ...... at the same table."
"Honestly, do you like people?"
"Huh?" He Weiqi was shocked, but he muttered unhappily, "Gossip, what's your business." ”
Sending He Weiqi home, Gu Song immediately drove back to the city bureau. As soon as I walked to the elevator hall on the first floor, the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Director Xia's call, Gu Song didn't dare to slack off at all, and quickly picked up the phone and asked respectfully, "Director, are you looking for me?" ”
"Gu Song, you hurry up and come to the second conference room." Director Xia only said this sentence and hung up the phone in a hurry. Gu Song was a little puzzled, and stood in a daze for a while holding his mobile phone. It wasn't until the elevator door opened and several heavy-faced colleagues swarmed out of it that he put his phone back and walked into the elevator with a frown.
The second conference room was filled with smoke, and Director Xia was sitting at the conference table discussing something with a few people. Seeing Gu Song come in, several people invariably stopped talking and looked at him. Faced with such a depressing atmosphere, Gu Song swallowed his saliva nervously, his eyes swept over several familiar colleagues in turn, and finally looked at Director Xia and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Director Xia beckoned to him and motioned for him to come and sit. "Gu Song, don't worry about the shooting last night for the time being. Now there's a very tricky kidnapping case, and it's a bit of a special situation. ”
"Is it the case where the kidnappers disappeared?" Gu Song asked unconvincedly.
"Oh? You're pretty well informed. Director Xia glanced at Gu Song in surprise, "So you already know about that case?" ”
"Nope." Gu Song dragged a chair and sat down, taking the cigarette handed by Director Xia. "I only happened to hear that a female student in the second class of the fourth year of Jianshe Road Primary School was kidnapped two days ago. For various reasons, the child's parents were not able to deal with the kidnappers as planned. ”
"Yes." Director Xia took a depressed puff on his cigarette and said, "The transaction time agreed between the kidnappers and the child's parents was originally 8:10 this morning. But for some reason, the kidnappers gave up the deal, and waited until this afternoon, and the kidnappers did not contact the child's parents again. We suspect that the kidnappers either want to raise the ransom further or have already given the child ......" Director Xia did not say any more, and several other colleagues also showed solemn expressions on their faces.
Gu Song knew that since adopting Xia Jinyu, Director Xia has attached great importance to cases involving the safety of children's lives, so no matter how heavy the work is, Director Xia has to personally participate in the investigation of this child abduction case.
After a moment of silence, Director Xia said to a young police officer with a comb in his hair: "Xiao Chen, you can introduce the case to him." ”
"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded, and then quickly narrated the situation of the "6.6 kidnapping case" to Gu Song.
On the evening of June 6, 2016, Ms. Fu's daughter, Yan Yiyi, did not return home after school. Because Ms. Fu's home lives near the school, it only takes a maximum of 10 minutes to walk from the school to her home, so from the second semester of the third grade, Yan Yiyi does not need to be picked up by her parents.
At 16:22 that afternoon (school ends at 16:15), Yan Yiyi used her mobile phone to call her mother, saying that she and Wu Xueyao (a student in the fifth class of the fourth year of Jianshe Road Primary School, Yan Yiyi's best friend) were playing outside for a while, and they would definitely go home before dinner.
But when Ms. Fu waited until 18:19, she received a call from her daughter's mobile phone number again, and it was a man who spoke. (Because the other party used some kind of voice changing software, Ms. Fu felt that the other party was a man.) )
As soon as the other party came up, he said that Yan Yiyi was in his hands, asked Ms. Fu to prepare a ransom of 2 million as soon as possible, and repeatedly warned her not to call the police. Once it is found that she has extra actions, the other party will immediately tear up the ticket.
Because there are more social scammers now, Ms. Fu didn't believe what the other party said at first. One is because she didn't hear her daughter's voice, and the other is because her family is not very wealthy, and the ransom of 2 million seems a little unrealistic for her.
She thought that her daughter's mobile phone had been stolen and that the other party wanted to take the opportunity to scam her. She scolded the man angrily and hung up angrily. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the call came again. This time it was a pre-prepared recording, and Ms. Fu immediately heard that it was her daughter's voice.
At this moment, Ms. Fu was completely confused, and she felt that the sky was about to fall. She had the urge to call the police for a moment, but she was afraid that her reckless actions would affect her daughter.
Just when her husband Yan Bin came home from work, she immediately told her husband about her daughter's kidnapping. Hearing this thunderbolt-like news, Yan Bin's face changed suddenly, and he immediately stopped Ms. Fu from calling the police, and said that many kidnapping cases ended with hostages being torn up because their families couldn't hold their breath.
Ms. Fu was so frightened that she didn't dare to do anything, crying and asking her husband what they should do. The kidnappers want a ransom of 2 million, but they don't have that much money at home.
Yan Bin comforted Ms. Fu and said that he had known some rich friends over the years, and he would hand over the ransom matter to him to solve, and firmly believed that as long as he did not call the police, the kidnappers would definitely return his daughter after getting the ransom. Ms. Fu has always been a person who can't make up her mind, and she obeys whatever her husband says. Especially when it comes to her daughter's life this time, she doesn't dare to make decisions without permission.
After a difficult day in this way, Yan Bin really scraped together enough of the 2 million ransom demanded by the kidnappers. Ms. Fu only wants to get her daughter back, and she has no extra energy to think about who her husband has borrowed money and how to repay it in the future.
According to the original agreement between the kidnappers and them, at 8:10 a.m. on June 8 (that is, today), they were to make a transaction somewhere outside the gate of No. 4 Middle School in R City.
Because today is the second day of the national unified examination for the enrollment of ordinary colleges and universities, the No. 4 Middle School, as one of the examination rooms for the college entrance examination, will gather a large number of students and parents outside the school gate before the candidates officially enter the school, which provides a good cover and conditions for the kidnappers to escape.
At 8:10 a.m., Yan Bin came to the vicinity of No. 4 Middle School at the kidnapper's request and waited for further instructions from the kidnapper. He knows that the ransom transaction usually changes locations several times to reduce the risk of being caught by the police. However, until around 8:50 a.m., when the candidates had finished entering the school and the outside of the school gate was slowly deserted, the kidnappers still did not contact them.
