Feng Juan's phone rang again, but this time the call was not Ma Puguo's phone, but an unfamiliar number.

"Let Ma Xingrong take the money and set off immediately, crossing the Yangtze River Bridge to the highway in the direction of Chongqing. Tell me Ma Xingrong's phone number, and I will inform him where to trade. ”

The kidnapper spoke briefly on the phone and quickly hung up. I could tell that the voice wasn't the kidnapper before.

According to my analysis, the kidnappers should choose to trade on the highway, and if the kidnappers take the ransom in the opposite lane of the highway, it will be convenient to escape.

Of course, Lao Lu thought of this, so he issued an order to control the various toll booths on the highway and intercept the kidnappers' vehicles after the transaction.

Will things really be as simple as we think?

Soon, the source of the two calls was also clarified, and it was still near Gaosheng Town and Fenshui Town. It seems that it can be locked at this time, and the kidnapper's range of activities is between Fenshui Town, Sanzheng Town, and Gaosheng Town.

As for why the phone number contacted this time no longer uses the phone number of Ma Puguo, I guess that the owner of this phone is the kidnapper who came to collect the ransom, and the kidnapper who used the mobile phone of Ma Puguo before is the person in charge of guarding Ma Puguo.

Ma Xingrong took a sports satchel loaded with money and drove his car from Feng Juan's community.

The police sent two civilian sedans, and seven criminal police officers followed, and Lao Lu and I sat in one of the cars.

Of course, in order not to let the kidnappers notice, the two sedans of the police were far away from Ma Xingrong's car, and at the same time, the criminal police recorded the license plate numbers of the vehicles that appeared around Ma Xingrong's car, so as to identify the vehicles that might be suspects in this way, and at the same time provide a basis for future investigations.

However, this time period is strange, it is only eight o'clock in the evening, and there are still six hours left before the agreed trading time, but why did the kidnappers set off at this time to demand the ransom?

All I can think of is that the kidnappers should start a fatigue tactic against the ransom man, and at the same time, it is to prevent the police from following him, and after a long journey, to wear down the will of the ransom man and the criminal police, so as to facilitate the kidnapper's escape.

If this is the case, it can be seen that the kidnappers are not ordinary people, but habitual offenders who have experience in kidnapping cases.

I said to Lao Lu: "The kidnappers in this kidnapping case should be habitual offenders, otherwise they would not be so experienced in kidnapping operations." They will definitely use fatigue tactics against us, and it is estimated that we will have to run back and forth on the highway between Wanzhou and Chongqing. And it is certainly not to trade at the agreed time, but to choose one to two hours after the agreed time. The kidnappers do this to wear down our will through fatigue and anxiety, so that we can escape more quickly after a successful transaction. ”

Lao Lu handed me a cigarette, and he lit it with a solemn face, and said, "It seems to be a tough battle." ”

After that, Lao Lu deployed, and there were four people in our car, including Lao Lu, two of whom could drive, so we could reasonably allocate the rest time. In the other car, only one person can drive, and there will be problems with the driver's rest.

However, Lao Lu accepted my suggestion, because the two cars were driving together, so three drivers could take turns driving, so that each driver could get enough rest.

It was slowly getting dark, and several criminal policemen were still paying attention to the surrounding vehicles, in case the kidnappers' car followed Ma Xingrong, who was carrying the ransom.

Entering the highway, I called Ma Xingrong and asked him to control the speed at 80 kilometers per hour. Because in low-speed driving, it is better to find out if someone is following.

After driving on the highway for about an hour, he suddenly received a call from Ma Xingrong, in which he said that the kidnappers had just called and told him to keep walking, and then call the kidnappers after entering the Chongqing toll station.

After about half an hour of driving, the sky was drizzling, there was no music from the car stereo, no car radio announcement, and the car was unusually quiet.

I know that we have fallen into the plan of the kidnappers, but there is no other way to break free, because the kidnappers have Ma Puguo's life in their hands, and we dare not be careless, let alone act rashly.

Lao Lu said to me and my brothers: "The most important thing in our operation is to ensure the safety of the hostages, we must estimate which actions will threaten the safety of the hostages, and only act under the condition of ensuring that there will be no threat to the safety of the hostages. ”

Everyone said they understood.

Yes, in the operation to save the hostages, we cannot have a heroic man with almost superpowers defeat all the kidnappers and then rescue the hostages in the tiger's den in Longtan, as shown in the TV movie.

We can only make arrests of the kidnappers after we have secured that the hostages are out of danger.

After entering the Chongqing toll station, the kidnappers demanded to return immediately, and at the same time, the kidnappers asked to wait at the Dianjiang service station and make a transaction.

We followed Ma Xingrong again and rushed to the Dianjiang service station non-stop, but at this time the kidnapper's phone had been turned off, and Ma Puguo's phone had also been turned off.

Ma Xingrong called Lao Lu, he had already shown extreme impatience on the phone, and it seemed that the physical and mental torture made this rough man a little unbearable.

At this time, we had no choice but to wait at the Dianjiang service station, where two police cars were parked about 100 meters away from Ma Xingrong's car, and we were closely watching every move around us.

After waiting for about an hour, it was close to 11 o'clock in the evening, but they still did not wait for the kidnapper's call, and everyone seemed very anxious.

At this time, I saw Ma Xingrong get out of the car and stand outside the car smoking. At this time, in the dark night, a figure gradually approached Ma Xingrong's car, and Lao Lu and I could see it clearly.

The black shadow bent over and touched Ma Xingrong from the car next to him. Could it be a kidnapper?

Not like!

I said to Lao Lu: "I'll go and see." ”

I rushed out of the car door and walked straight towards Ma Xingrong, shouting as I walked: "Brother Ma, where do you not meet in life!" ”

My shout immediately attracted Ma Xingrong's attention, and when I approached Ma Xingrong, the black shadow suddenly disappeared into the night.

At this time, I noticed that a gap had opened in the right rear door of the car. It seems that I am not wrong in my judgment, this black shadow is not a kidnapper, but a thief.

When Ma Xingrong saw me, he was puzzled, and I smiled and said, "Brother Ma, you must pay attention to safety, and be vigilant when parking at night, don't be taken advantage of by the little thief." I said as I closed the rear door for him.

Ma Xingrong seemed to understand what I meant, and hurriedly opened the car door to take a look, with a relieved look on his face.

I stood next to Ma Xingrong, lit a cigarette, and whispered: "Just now, a bag thief came to the back of your car, and I have taken him away, you must always be vigilant." Then I started a fight with Ma Xingrong again, pretending to be friends who met by accident, mainly to prevent people with kidnappers from watching around.

After a few minutes of idle talk, I walked to the bathroom, and when I came out, I deliberately got into a long-distance bus parked on the side of the road, but before the bus left, I immediately got out of the car and returned to the police vehicle.

Lao Lu said: "There is still no movement, it's almost twelve o'clock in the morning now, I don't know what these kidnappers want to do?" ”

"That's where the kidnappers are cunning, they know that both the family and the police are very worried about the hostages, so they deliberately delay the time, make our anxiety gradually rise, and then use our impatience to control the deal step by step," I said. Therefore, we must be more vigilant to avoid revealing the flaws of police tracking in transactions. ”

After waiting for about half an hour, Ma Xingrong called, saying that the kidnappers had asked him to go back to the Wanzhou toll station, and that he would contact the kidnappers after returning to the toll station.

It's very helpless, we are completely led by the nose by the kidnappers.

The three cars continued to drive in the direction of Wanzhou, one after the other.

After arriving in Wanzhou, Ma Xingrong called us again, and he said angrily on the phone: "This group of brutes asked me to go to Chongqing again, is it sick?" ”

I know that not only are these kidnappers not sick, but they are also very clear-headed. Our willpower is being worn out by them little by little.

In desperation, the three cars returned to the highway. However, during this time, we did not blindly follow, we came to the conclusion that the kidnappers did not follow Ma Xingrong, he was all controlled by phone, it seems that the kidnappers also did a lot of work before the kidnapping, so they can accurately command Ma Xingrong by phone.

After about an hour on the highway, Mr. Ma called again, saying that the kidnappers had told him to park his car under a billboard called "Asia's First Waterfall," which was erected on a viaduct.

Lao Lu said that he knew about this billboard, and it should be not far away.

Sure enough, 20 minutes later, Ma Xingrong stopped, and we stopped about 300 meters away from Ma Xingrong, turned off the lights and used the telescope to observe.

Because we were parked in the emergency lane and did not turn on the double flash, one of the comrades got out of the car and put down a warning sign not far from the rear of the car.

We waited anxiously, and what happened next made us feel like cold water was poured on us.

We saw that on the viaduct inlaid with the billboard of "Asia's First Waterfall", an object slowly descended, and when it descended to the position illuminated by the headlights, we saw that it was a red sports bag with a rope on it. Seeing this, everyone understood the kidnapper's intentions.

Ma Xingrong called again, anxiously saying that the kidnappers wanted him to put all the money into the bag they threw down from the viaduct, and he couldn't make up his mind, whether to give the ransom or not?
