Chapter 37

Kidnapping is a high-IQ crime, most of the kidnapping cases are carefully planned before they are carried out, and the police need to fight wits and courage with criminals, in addition to using high-tech criminal investigation equipment, they also need to invest a lot of police force to round up and attack.

The process of a kidnapping case is generally as follows:

1. Choose the target, usually the rich or the children of the wealthy.

2. Hostage hiding, mostly in remote suburbs, in the wilderness, or in abandoned houses.

3. Contact the family, make demands, and extort money. In the past, communications were less developed, extortion was usually carried out by letter, and in order to avoid being recognized, some criminals would cobble together letters from newspaper words, and in modern kidnapping cases, family members are usually notified by telephone.

Fourth, collect the ransom, which is the most likely part of the entire kidnapping process to expose your identity. If family members call the police, or seek help from relatives and friends, they are likely to reveal their whereabouts when collecting the ransom, which is the most important test of the criminal's IQ.

5. Release of hostages or killing of hostages.

Professor Liang made careful arrangements on the balcony of Su Mei's house, Director Ye bowed his head to listen to orders, and the little policewoman Ah Zi recorded the focus of work. According to Professor Liang's request, the Pujiang Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Chibei District Bureau dispatched elite soldiers and divided them into three working groups.

Bao Chu is in charge of the investigation team, focusing on the two victims, Wang Jia and Xiaoxi, to carry out peripheral work, focusing on the investigation of the family and social relations of the two victims, many of the kidnapping cases are committed by acquaintances, this point must be investigated.

The command vehicle is a camouflaged van with a tattered appearance and the words "dairy products" printed on the carriage, parked in a hidden location near Xiaoxi's house, and a team of experienced scouts and armed police are sitting in the car and are on standby. In addition, there are bicycles and motorcycles for flexible tracking, and there is a small dressing room on the car, where investigators can change their identities as food delivery people, cycling enthusiasts, and hawkers at any time to conduct investigations.

Su Mei and Ah Zi are responsible for monitoring and technical support, and the kidnappers use the phone to contact the victim's family, and Su Mei's job is to monitor and record the kidnappers' activities and the approximate hiding place of the hostages at the first time, which plays a key role in arresting the criminals and successfully rescuing the hostages.

Xiaoxi's parents are in business, after their daughter was kidnapped, they were worried, they disposed of a batch of goods according to the kidnappers' requirements, raised 500,000 yuan, they only hope that their daughter is safe, and they don't care if they can catch the kidnappers.

Professor Leung said that only by catching the kidnappers can Xiaoxi be rescued, and that the criminals should not be expected to have any mercy.

Xiaoxi's mother said: I'm in a hurry, and the child doesn't know what to do now.

Professor Liang said: If the kidnappers call, you must listen to Xiaoxi's voice to confirm whether the child is alive.

Xiaoxi's father said: Take out 500,000 yuan in three days, today is the last day, the money is ready, why don't you call yet.

Professor Liang said: There are still more than 20 hours, wait patiently, the police will go all out to catch the kidnappers and rescue Xiaoxi.

Su Mei installed listening software on the mobile phones of Xiaoxi's parents, and used computers to control the terminals, so that they could keep them on 24 hours a day, and if the kidnappers called, try to delay the time and let the police be prepared.

Su Mei said: This is the most powerful cell phone monitoring software in the world.

Bao asked:

Why do you say that.

Su Mei said, because this software was developed and made by me.

Draw the dragon and say: Blow it, how powerful are you?

Su Mei said: In addition to the monitoring function, there is also the role of geolocation, and more importantly, even if the mobile phone is in standby, the surrounding environmental sound can also be heard, and we can find the hiding place of the kidnappers through sound analysis.

Bao Chu said: The kidnappers must have thought of this, and they must have a more clever way.

Bao Chu visited the families and schools of the two victims, and the murder of Wang Jia shocked all the teachers and students of the school, this little boy is in the sixth grade of primary school, his grades are average, but he is lively and cute, and he is very popular with teachers and classmates. His bag contained a red scarf, a yo-yo, and the kind of round cards that children often played. People can't believe that such a cute little boy would be kidnapped and killed, and then crushed into a patty on the highway,

The school set up a school guard, and the rumor is that after school, Wang Jia was put on his head with a sack, carried on the car and dragged away. Wang Jia's father is a bus driver, and her mother sets up a stall in the night market, and the family does not have much money.

Bao Chu ruled out the possibility of acquaintances committing crimes, as Wang Jia's parents said: I have no money at home, life is so difficult, the mortgage of the house has not been repaid, relatives and neighbors all know, what is the use of kidnapping my child?

The Forensic Forensic Center of the Pujiang Public Security Bureau conducted another autopsy on the deceased Wang Jia. Because the body was run over by vehicles many times, it was very difficult to find the clues left by the murderer. You can imagine how much external force a child has been subjected to when he becomes a piece of cake. At the second autopsy, the forensic doctor made a new discovery, Wang Jia's hair and neckline had some jute fibers, which seemed to confirm the rumors circulating in the school that Wang Jia had been hooded by a sack.

Bao ordered the school to hold a school-wide mobilization meeting to encourage the children to speak out about what they saw, but no witnesses were found.

The special case team concealed the information that Xiaoxi was kidnapped, so that it could paralyze the kidnappers and strive for more favorable conditions for detection.

Xiaoxi is in her first year of junior high school, she is a big-eyed girl, she has long hair with bangs, she likes to watch cherry balls, she is super obsessed with TVXQ, and she likes Yunhao the most. Xiaoxi was wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack when she was kidnapped, and after school in the afternoon, she claimed to her classmates that she had gone to buy milk tea, but she never returned.

Bao Shu made a reasoning analysis:

The kidnappers had a car and used deception and coercion to kidnap two or more people. The kidnappers were timid and cautious, and one of them was probably a woman, who was unwilling or afraid to confront the police head-on. After the kidnapping, they first conduct covert observation, and once they know that the family members have called the police, they will decisively give up. The targets they chose were all older children over the age of 10, and parents and schools generally relaxed supervision of children in this age group, and the children were able to say their home addresses and family phone numbers. The kidnappers purchased a number of telephone cards in advance, and each card was used only once and then discarded, and the location of the call was changed many times, which had the ability to counter reconnaissance.

The special case team laid a wide net, just waiting for the kidnappers to call.

The case is full of suspense, and the special case team cannot guess where the kidnappers will let the family put the money and how they will get the ransom.

The author of this article has studied a large number of kidnapping cases and found that there are various ways to collect ransom, and some kidnappers want it

Asking to transfer money to the designated account of the bank is the most stupid method, because the domestic phagocytosis has a withdrawal limit, and only 20,000 yuan can be withdrawn in a day, and no kidnapper dares to go to the counter to withdraw money, waiting for the police to arrest him. Even if you withdraw money over the bank counter, there is only a limit of 50,000 yuan per day. Other clever ways to get ransom, such as throwing money at trains, sneaking out of sewers to get money, and taking money in high-traffic places, all test the police's ability to react. Most of the kidnapping cases are solved because the kidnappers are too stupid, not because the police are too smart.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the kidnappers finally called, Xiaoxi's parents were worried about their daughter, and they didn't sleep well for a few days.

The following is the conversation between the kidnapper and Xiaoxi's parents -

Xiaoxi's father: Hey, hey, who are you and who are you looking for?

The other party was silent for five seconds, and a gloomy voice with a nasal voice said: Are you ready for all the money?

Xiaoxi's father: Okay, it's done, 500,000, a lot of money.

The kidnappers said, "Give me the money tomorrow and I'll release them."

Xiaoxi's mother took the phone and said: Can you guarantee that my daughter is okay, I will give you money if I have nothing to do, 500,000 is not a small amount, the family sold a batch of goods at a cheap price, no matter what, let me listen to Xiaoxi's voice, aren't you just trying to make money, don't come nonsense, let me listen to the child......

The kidnapper said, "Don't worry, your child has a cold, I gave her some medicine and fell asleep."

Xiaoxi's mother said: You say, who did my daughter provoke, didn't you beat her, you wake Xiaoxi up, let me listen, I will say a few words to her, so that she should not be afraid......

The kidnapper interrupted and said: You don't want your child's life, this is not good for the child, did your family call the police?

Xiaoxi's father grabbed the phone and said: I didn't call the police, absolutely not, I know what to do about some things. The child's mother is eager to listen to the child's voice, you have to understand.

The kidnapper said: I will let you know that the child is okay, listen to me first.

Xiaoxi's father said: Okay, well, listen to you, you say.

The kidnapper said: Tomorrow, at two o'clock in the afternoon, you will drive the car, take the money, and wait at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Jianshe Road. You have to do what I say, you have to come alone, with money, with your mobile phone, you and your wife's mobile phones, and some change.

Xiaoxi's father said: At two o'clock in the afternoon, at the door of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, yes, okay, okay, don't treat my daughter......

The kidnapper said, "Just look at the blood on your fingers."

Xiaoxi's father said: What?

The kidnapper said: Your child is fine, if you dare to call the police and play tricks, this will not be the case next time.

Xiaoxi's father said: I don't understand what you mean?

The kidnapper said: Repeat, tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, Jianshe Road Industrial and Commercial Bank, you drive your own money and bring it, I will send you something.

Xiaoxi's father said: Something, what thing, where?

The kidnapper said, "Open the door and you will see."

The phone hung up, Xiaoxi's parents went to open the door, there was no one outside the door, there was a plastic stationery box on the ground, and when the box was opened, Xiaoxi's parents screamed at the same time...... This stationery box belongs to Xiao Xi, and there are no pens in it, only two bloody fingernail caps.
