Chapter 6: The Mysterious Call
Yang Zi walked home from work, saying that it was home, but it was just a temporarily rented house. However, it was rare for him to get off work on time so on, and he felt a little depressed because of the poor progress of his work, but the gentle evening breeze blew softly, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed. Seeing all kinds of pedestrians on the road and hearing the beautiful songs coming from the shops on the street, he forgot about his work troubles for a while, but he was also in a good mood. In the street garden on the side of the road, there are young mothers walking with strollers, followed by fathers who are new fathers; There is also a pair of elderly people who have eaten early, accompanying each other and supporting each other for a walk and fitness after meals; There are also many people like Yang Zi who have just gotten off work, walking in a hurry, maybe to share a hearty dinner with their family, or to spend a wonderful night with their lovers. Seeing all this, Yang Zi suddenly appreciated the beauty of life, and being alive is a happy thing in itself, so he walked happily and enjoyed this quiet dusk that he had not encountered for a long time.
But at this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated and interrupted his reverie. He took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, which prompted that the call was an unfamiliar mobile phone number, but for Yang Zi, any strange call may mean that there is another incident, almost at the moment when he took out his mobile phone, Yang Zi had already pressed the answer button: "Hello, I am Yang Zi." ”
"Are you Yangzi? I've admired the name for a long time. Listen, I want to play a game with you. "There was a cold voice on the phone that had been treated with a voice change that resembled that of a machine. Yang Zi was stunned for a second when he heard such a strange voice, but soon the sensitivity that his profession had created for him made his nerves in his whole body tense immediately, and he subconsciously realized that something was happening again.
There was silence on the phone, and after saying the sentence just now, the person on the other end of the line seemed to be waiting for him to speak. However, Yang Zi only frowned slightly, listened patiently with his mobile phone, and did not rush to speak. This is a typical psychological tactic, in his opinion, since the other party dares to call to provoke him, it means that a lot of preparation work has been done in advance and a careful plan has been formulated. At such a time, instead of speaking rashly to make the other party aware of the impatience and anger of being provoked, it is better to wait and see what happens, so that the other party's prepared punch is like hitting cotton, so that the other party is like the two armies fighting in ancient times. It's also a contest to see who loses the momentum first. Sure enough, seeing that he was silent and only listened and didn't speak, the other party was stalemate for a while and couldn't hold his breath: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a detective, he can really calm down, admire and admire." After opening his mouth for the second time, the other party seemed to know that Yang Zi had a slight advantage in momentum, and pretending to be silent was just an axe for the class, so he no longer played tricks, but said in one breath: "Okay, let's open the skylight and say something." Ni Xiaomei, the daughter of the president of S City Xinya Group, was kidnapped by me, I didn't ask her family for ransom for money or profit, I just wanted to try your detective's ability to detect. It's seven o'clock sharp, I'll give you an hour, and you can't notify anyone, but you'll have to rescue her single-handedly. I'm sure you won't let me down, and I'm sure you'll do what I ask you to do, with your fame. Of course, if you notify the people in your unit, then you don't deserve to be a detective in the future. As for the location of her abduction, now give you five minutes, I won't speak, let you listen to the voices around me, that's the clue I gave you. Listen carefully, the timer begins. ”
After listening to the other party's words, Yang Zi felt a little surprised, this kidnapper is interesting, he kidnapped the daughter of a rich family not to extort a high ransom, but just to argue with himself, a poor policeman? But at this time, he didn't have time to think about the real purpose of the call, the other party had already set a time limit, and the clues could only be analyzed from the vague background voice coming from the phone, and if he wanted to solve the mystery of the call, he could only listen attentively to every little movement coming from inside. Since the other party is so bold and dares to come to the door to shout, Yang Zi's instinctive reaction is that this is a provocation, a provocation to Yang Zi's threat and dignity in the past few years as a criminal policeman, and a provocation to the shining national emblem on Yang Zi's head, so he can only win and not lose no matter what. What's more, this is not just a provocation, the other party is kidnapping a living person as a provocation weight, it is related to a fresh human life, if this life is lost because of his own reasons, then what is the point of Yang Zi engaging in the profession of criminal police? Although his profession is all about dealing with corpses, the ultimate goal is to find out the truth from various clues, bring the murderer to justice, punish the murderer and promote goodness, respect life and protect life. So he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he failed, and he didn't have time to imagine, let alone allow himself to fail! So, Yang Zi settled down and closed his eyes, turned off other senses in his subconscious, and then concentrated all his nerves on hearing, adjusting his state, and comparing all the locations in S City with the sounds he heard in his mind while listening. Time passed second by second, the air seemed to freeze, Yang Zi adjusted his breathing, and completely entered a state of selflessness to perceive everything on the phone.
"Alright, five minutes is up. At 8:05, I can't see you coming, so I'm going to collect her body. The cold, mechanical voice rang on the phone again, and as the words ended, the phone was hung up. Honk...... ...... beet" A blind voice interrupted Yang Zi's meditation.
Yang Zi gritted his teeth and clenched the phone in his hand: "Damn~!" He cursed secretly. The situation was urgent, and he stood still, closing his eyes again, and recalling all the sounds he had just heard over and over again in his mind. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and with a sparkle of them, he strode forward as if he had locked on to something. Yes, yes, it must be there! His brain is like a tape recorder with automatic rewinding, amplifying and replaying all the voices on the phone an infinite number of times. While passing by a newsstand, Yang Zi stopped, bought an up-to-date map of S City, opened the map, and gestured with his finger on it, only to see him heavier somewhere on the map a few seconds later, and then beckoned a taxi. The car flew through the twilight like an arrow from a string, and drove towards the direction he had circled with this excellent criminal investigation captain.
In the south of the city, there is a small water park on the edge of the riverside ferry terminal, at this time, the arrival of night takes away the noisy and lively flow of people during the day, and the sparse and scattered tourists are also preparing to leave in twos and threes. On a yacht that has been chained to the shore by the ship's management with cables and chains, in the form of a swan about to fly, two women are sitting in the cabin giggling and laughing. I saw one of the younger ones say to the other: "Sister, if he finds this place within the specified time, I will obey him, and from now on, wherever he appears, I will spare the way." The woman she called her sister was about thirty years old, with long thick black hair hanging straight down the back of her head without modification, and the whole person had bright teeth and bright eyes and elegant manners, after listening to what her sister said, two red clouds flew on her pink and jade face, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Is he so powerful?" It's just that Pearl, I'm really curious about him, so I want to see him and see if he has the magic power as the legend says. ”
The girl named Pearl giggled a few times, and then said, "Sister, aren't you tempted by him?" Being so eager to get to know him is not like you're always doing. ”
"Hehe, I won't tell you. However, I wanted to get in touch with him more and get to know him more about him as a person, especially his work. Pearl's sister said meaningfully.
"Hee-hee, okay then, you saved my life back then, no matter what you want me to do, I will do it. Sister, this is my promise to you, although I always feel inappropriate about the fact that you want to know him, but since you have decided, of course I will spare no effort to help you. It's just that I hope it's as simple as we think, and he won't think of anything more, otherwise it ....... At this point, Pearl stopped talking, and her face became cloudy.
Hearing her sister say this, her sister's face also became solemn, she reached out and grabbed Pearl's shoulder, and patted her gently: "Silly sister, don't worry." Sister will think carefully before doing anything before acting, you have to believe that if I want to know him, I must have my own purpose. Remember, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can win all battles. When she said this, there was a trace of exquisite gaze in her eyes that was incongruous with her appearance.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two women became heavy, and I don't know what they remembered, so they didn't continue the topic just now. At this time, the woman named Pearl looked at the delicate watch on her wrist and said with some concern, "Sister, the time is almost up." Why hasn't he come yet? ”
The other woman also raised her hand to look at her watch, and said in a somewhat hesitant tone, "Yes, it's almost eight o'clock." Am I overestimating him? She poked her head out of the cabin and looked around, then retracted to Pearl and said, "Is it not easy to identify the place we chose?" ”
"No, it should be easy to spot here, right?" Pearl also said with some uncertainty. At this moment, the mobile phone that Pearl was holding in her hand rang loudly, and she looked at the caller ID with a spirit, and then lowered her voice and said softly to the woman: "Shhhhh Sister, he's coming! ”
