Early the next morning, FBI agents found the car that kidnapped Duke, but the SUV was already on the side of the road more than two hours from Boston, and it was burned to a bare shelf.

With the energy of the FBI, the information of the car itself was quickly found, but there was no information worth paying attention to, the registration information showed that it was a local Boston car, the owner was a very responsible white-collar worker, and the car had just been stolen on the day of the accident.

Therefore, the relevant information found in the departure from this vehicle did not provide much valuable help to the case. The only thing that can be proven is that it was a planned premeditated crime. Judging from the fact that the suspect destroyed the tools of the crime far from the crime scene, it is very likely that the suspect was not from Boston.

The director of the FBI in Boston reported the situation to the headquarters and asked the headquarters for support, and the independent investigation team established began to take over the case in an all-round way, but the clues of the car that committed the crime were basically cut off because the vehicle was burned, on the other hand, judging from the names of the kidnappers provided by Duke, because names like Pete and Hans are so common, there are at least millions of people in the United States who call this name, and there are tens of thousands of case records, so the investigation of this clue is not of much significance, and the FBI investigation has reached an impasse.

Glitter wasn't in a hurry, he was waiting for the kidnappers to show their feet, since it was for extortion of money, sooner or later they would contact someone from Shuya or MI Company.

The news from the FBI made Shu Ya even more like pins and needles, she came back from the FBI last night, and she never fell asleep.

Suzanne moved in to take turns with Selena, and seeing Shu Ya's haggard face and red eyes, the two of them didn't know how to comfort the poor girl.

I saw Shu Ya holding the phone like this and sitting on the bed in a daze.

"Shuya, come, let's eat something" Suzanne sighed, to be honest, Duke had an accident, she was just as worried, but after all, she couldn't show it at this time, otherwise it would be really worse for Shuya to notice something wrong. She took the milk and sandwiches that Selena had brought back from the Harvard student cafeteria and handed them to Shuya.

Shu Ya shook her head slightly. "Susanna, I really can't eat, you say, how is Duke now?" When she came back last night, Shu Ya always thought of some terrible scenes, and she was even more scared in her heart, "Will there be something wrong with him?" Saying this, Shu Ya couldn't help but tears fell again.

Suzanne was even more sad when she heard this, and hurriedly comforted: "No, Duke must be fine, if the kidnappers want to get the money, they will definitely make him alive." ”

It's just that Suzanne herself is a little skeptical about what she said, how could Shu Ya believe it.

"Duke has no grievances in the United States, no one will be bored enough to kidnap people, and if you really want to hurt Duke, then Duke should be found at the scene where the FBI found the car." However, Selena still maintains the meticulous thinking of an accountant and analyzes it according to common sense.

"Oh, that makes sense, if so, the kidnappers' purpose must be for money, but for their own safety, they may be taking Duke to a more difficult place to find now, so it seems that they need time to deal with these things, and when they hide Duke, they will definitely contact you."

Susanna's words seem as accurate as a witch's prophecy. Because not long after Suzanne finished speaking, Shu Ya's mobile phone really began to ring.

The gentle ringing sound on weekdays made Shu Ya's heart tremble like a giant thunder, and she looked down at the mobile phone that was almost out of the water, prompting a new short message on it!

Shu Ya's small hands trembled and swiped the screen lock, and pointed out a new short message prompting: "Duke is in my hand, please leave a message on twitter*** to receive it, please pay immediately." Don't call the police, or you'll ......"

"It's a text message from them!" Shu Ya's face turned pale and she screamed, "Duke has really been kidnapped!" ”

Suzanne and Selena immediately nervously gathered around and checked the short message together, and after reading it, everyone looked at each other, "Do you want to tell the FBI agents about this?" Selena asked quietly.

Suzanne shook her head, "No, the information we were able to see, they had already seen it." Shuya, you still have to do what he says. ”

Shu Ya hurriedly turned on the computer, found the twitter account and left that sentence after following it, and sure enough, a short message came after a while, "Very good, please keep your mobile phone and computer unblocked, prepare $50 million remittance, I will contact you again." ”

This time they didn't make any requests, Shu Ya and the others waited for a long time, and no new text messages popped up on their mobile phones.

Shu Ya just received a short message here, and on the side of the FBI investigation team, the technicians who had been monitoring Shu Ya's mobile phone immediately started to nervously analyze the source of the text message, and quickly figured out the source of the text message.

This short message was sent from a certain website, this is a social networking site, providing free text message function, FBI agents struggled to find the website, found the IP that sent the letter, and after pursuing it to the end, it was found that it was a bare metal that could be controlled by people at will, and the investigation trail was interrupted here.

He's a cunning veteran, and he seems to be very computer savvy.

But for Shuya, this is a significant development, and all indications so far are that the kidnappers' purpose is still to make money. This is not very good news.

When Shu Ya was uncertain, on an unknown highway, Duke and his party were still on the road.

"Pete, tell me what you're going to do." After estimating that after about a night of galloping, Duke noticed that Pete had no intention of stopping at all, and couldn't help but ask. After the initial panic, Duke had completely calmed down, and tried to cooperate as much as possible along the way, showing no attempt to escape, and even when passing by to refuel, Duke did not make the slightest suspicious sound.

"Don't worry, Dr. Duke, I think we've had a good time working together along the way." Pete saw that he was thousands of miles away from Boston, and his mood began to relax. "You can rest assured, we don't want to complicate a simple thing, to be honest, I hate to do this kind of thing, there is no technical content at all. It's just that the reward is really good this time, so it's hard to run this trip. ”

Since the car change, the four of Duke and his party have moved to a Ford RV, except for Duke, the other three take turns to rest, and now it is black people driving, while another white man named Hans is sleeping. Duke's hands were wrapped in duct tape behind his back. Due to Duke's good performance along the way, the sealing glue in his mouth was removed when he was on the road, and only when it was time to refuel.

"Pete, tell me, how much are you going to get?" Duke was sleepy, and the kidnappers took turns resting, but he couldn't close his eyes, and now he was covered with an eye patch, but he must have been covered with blood. "Maybe it won't be that much trouble, I'll be able to do it with a phone call."

"For me, it's not a big problem to be able to settle things with money?"

"yes, how much do you think you should be worth?" Pete looked at Duke with interest.

"How much am I worth?" Duke paused for a moment, this question is really difficult to answer. Could it be that the kidnappers didn't kidnap themselves for extortion, and they didn't know much about their situation? Duke was a little confused, so he had to say perfunctorily: "I really don't know how much I'm worth?" But presumably a few million should be worth it. ”

"Hehe, it seems that you know your price very well," Pete laughed. "I'll tell you the truth, somebody asked the brothers to get you to California, and they paid us a million dollars. Now it seems that this is actually quite a bad deal. We just have to go through a not-so-wonderful journey. ”

Although Duke's emotional intelligence is quite average, he will not say to Pete that I will give you two million dollars, so please send me back. It's too uncomfortable to find it, and I don't know how to do it.

From Pete's words just now, Duke knew that behind this matter, there were still people planning and hosting, this group of kidnappers was just executing, strictly speaking, they were only responsible for arresting people, and the later things had little to do with them, no wonder Pete and their expressions were more relaxed, it turned out that they were only responsible for one of the businesses, although this kidnapping was also a crime, but relatively speaking, the crime was not too serious.

Looking at Pete and Hans's demeanor conversation, it is clear that they are veterans of doing this kind of thing, which means that they are not fledgling rookies, but experienced gangsters. At present, although they know a little about themselves, they don't know much, and they probably play a small role in the gang to earn hard-earned money.

Along the way, they didn't see any action of Pete to contact the outside world, so this operation was planned in advance, but Duke really couldn't think of anyone in the United States who had such a deep hatred for him and actually kidnapped himself across thousands of kilometers.

Thinking of this, Duke's heart was even more depressed, the possibility of trying to escape from these three tightly guarded kidnappers was extremely small, not to mention anything else, looking at the average hand-to-hand combat force value alone, Duke felt that each of these three people could easily clean himself up. Not to mention that the other party is obviously armed with more powerful weapons.

In this case, any blind action can be said to be looking for death, for the sake of the present, only to see one step at a time, or wait until the place to talk about it. After Duke made up his mind, his heart was relieved, thinking that the journey was still so long, and he suddenly became tired, so he leaned on his seat and slowly fell asleep.
