Chapter 146: Kidnapping (End)
"All I know is that Jack used to be the CEO of the Chengdu branch of Coolry Technology in the United States. Chen, I'm strapped to the seat of a gray Ford RV right now, and Jack is operating the computer right in front of the car, and it's bare outside, and I can't see any buildings or highways. ”
Seeing this, Judy couldn't help but be a little confused, this is also a bit too illogical, the hostages are still tied up now, but how did this communication tool for sending messages come about? Haven't the kidnappers taken his phone yet? Well, let's say Duke's phone is still there, but why is the message only sent now, and there has been no movement before?
Also, the kidnapper is now in front of the car, how did Duke send a message right under the kidnapper's nose? Seeing that Duke's feedback is so fast, Judy definitely doesn't believe that Duke is sent by blind typing, this speed is basically only available by voice, but the question arises again, is that Jack deaf and can't hear Duke at all?
Judy's mind is full of question marks, but now it is not the talk of studying this issue.
"Is Jack armed with any of his weapons?" Judy asked. This is a very important issue, and if the rescue team is to be forced to take forcible rescue measures, it is important for both the safety of the hostages and the safety of the rescue team. If the kidnappers were not armed, it is clear that the tactics used by the rescue team would have been different.
"I don't know, I haven't seen Jack show a weapon since my blindfold was removed." Duke wasn't sure if Jack was armed or not, after all, there were too many ways to get them in the United States.
"Our rescue team will arrive in the area you are in about 1 hour by helicopter, please find a way to recover some mobility before the helicopter arrives, especially when the helicopter appears, and try to stay away from the kidnappers." Seeing that there was no more useful information from Duke's mouth, Judy lectured him face-to-face.
Since it is known that there is only one kidnapper now, when the rescue team initiates the operation, as long as Duke is a certain distance away from the kidnappers, then the safety can naturally be guaranteed. The hostages are far away from the kidnappers, and the difficulty for the rescue team is enough to reduce it by an order of magnitude.
"If possible, please try to keep in touch with each other, report the kidnappers' suspicious movements at any time, and cooperate with our actions." After saying this, Judy herself couldn't believe that Duke would be able to keep in touch with this side at any time. The kidnappers are not stupid, how can they keep Duke's mobile phone in touch all the time.
Until now, Judy believed that Duke was communicating on her cellphone, though she didn't know how Duke did it.
ended the conversation with Judy, but Duke began to worry, because the matter was urgent, Duke didn't expect Shuya and them to provoke FBI agents at home, so when there was an opportunity, Duke did not hesitate to activate Kerry's superpower, and connected Jack's mobile phone to the Internet to contact Shuya in real time, but who would have thought that it would eventually become a communication with federal agents.
Although he is still in Jack's hands, Duke believes that he will soon be rescued. Although Jack's plan seems seamless, he didn't expect that he had a special ability to connect to his mobile phone directly through WIFI, thus directly exposing Jack's conspiracy and making Jack's seemingly seamless plan a joke.
Duke didn't believe that Jack, a middle-aged balding man, could play any tricks at the hands of federal agents.
It's just that when you are rescued, how do you explain all this? Duke's head hurts when he thinks about it.
Duke is worried about how to explain the communication problem in the future, and Shuya and Suzanne in Boston, under the guidance of Federal Agent Judy, are whirring with Jack to stall for time.
The investigation team, on the other hand, is nervously querying the information of the overseas account set up by Jack through technical means. Combined with the personal information provided by Duke, the investigation team has basically peeled back the cocoon, exposed Jack's many roundabout tricks by setting up an overseas offshore company, and approached the truth behind it.
At the same time, the helicopter dispatched by the California Federal Bureau of Investigation to carry out the rescue mission was speeding towards the destination.
More than half an hour passed unconsciously, because the cautious Jack began to change the meat machine to communicate with Shuya and them every time he sent a few messages, which was already quite time-consuming, plus Suzanne used procrastination tactics under the guidance of Judy, and constantly entangled with Jack on the details of the payment, plus Selena, who heard the news, also kept raising professional financial issues in the transfer processing.
As we all know, Uncle Sam is very strict about the funds of the violent team after 9-11, and the huge transfers like Jack's request will definitely be closely monitored by the relevant departments of the federal government.
In the United States now, the transfer of more than tens of thousands of funds will be monitored, and if there is any doubt about the ins and outs of the funds, they will be immediately frozen and asked to explain the situation, not to mention such a huge transfer. It was very difficult for Jack to come up with a plausible reason for the transfer.
These problems are too professional, where can Jack, an IT person, think so well in advance, in order to get the money as soon as possible, Jack has to patiently communicate with Suzanne about the solution, after all, in the depths of Jack's heart, in fact, he still regards himself as an ordinary person, not a vicious kidnapper, when he thinks that Susanna's question is very reasonable, he will also understand, so the two sides come and go, and time flies.
When Jack finally realizes that something is wrong and realizes that the other party may be using delaying tactics, he can't help but be angry, so he starts to release cruel words on the new short message.
At this time, Duke, who had been keeping in touch on QQ, received the news that a helicopter loaded with federal agents would arrive here in more than ten minutes. Duke began to figure out a way to get out of Jack's sight.
"Jack!" Seeing Jack busy on the computer, Duke suddenly spoke. "I'm in a bit of a hurry right now, can I go to the toilet?"
"Bear with it" Jack didn't raise his head, and refused directly.
"But I'm going to get on the tuba, Jack, and I can't go very far if you look at the barren mountains here. People have three urgency, I really can't hold it back. Duke continued to plead.
"It's really troublesome" Jack finally raised his head, put the computer in the front seat, and opened the back door, "You don't have to play any tricks, we know each other well, but if you want to play any tricks, this gun doesn't recognize people." Jack pulled out his pistol and threatened.
It was the first time Duke had come into contact with this guy so closely, and in addition to being afraid, he was actually a little excited. On QQ, Duke sent this latest situation over, and when he heard that the kidnappers had weapons, Judy immediately notified the investigation team of this information, and the investigation team informed the rescue team as soon as possible.
Jack finished intimidating and untied the rope that bound Duke, and then, when considering whether to untie Duke's hand, Jack hesitated. Although he had a gun in his hand, once he untied Duke's hand, Jack was not sure that Duke would not resist.
After all, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, Jack is clearly no match for the young and strong Duke.
But Duke is going to be on the tuba, and Jack obviously doesn't want to be like a babysitter and be responsible for helping Duke clean the chrysanthemums. It's disgusting to think about.
So Jack hesitated for less than thirty seconds, and finally came up with a good idea, he first tied Duke's feet with a rope to tie Duke's feet tightly to about one foot at a time, so as to at least ensure that Duke lost the ability to escape, as for the risk of hand-to-hand combat, Jack decided to keep a safe distance from Duke at least a few meters away after untying Duke's hands.
So it's basically foolproof.
After taking precautions, Jack untied Duke's hands. "No, it's on the toilet in the car." Jack said, pointing a gun at Duke.
"But the toilet in the car has broken down and can't be flushed, and we are all in the field all the way, otherwise, the car would have stinked to death." Duke said. There was no problem with the toilet in the car, Duke was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but recalling the handover process between Pete and Jack just now, it was only a few minutes, and Duke gambled that the two of them definitely did not communicate about the car.
This time, Duke was obviously right, "You're really troublesome, so go to that little tree over there." Jack said, pointing to a bush more than a dozen meters away.
As a man with a normal sexual orientation, Jack obviously didn't want to see a white ass still steaming. The little bush was not big, just enough to cover it up without losing sight of Duke's presence.
Duke got out of the car with difficulty, he had been in the car for more than 60 hours, and his legs and feet had been numb for a long time due to lack of movement.
The moment Duke stepped out of the car, Duke seemed to hear a faint roar coming from a distance.
Is this almost there? Thinking of Judy's confession, Duke dragged his bound legs and struggled towards the bushes, despite the soreness and pain. Seeing Duke's anxious look, Jack thought that Duke was really a little anxious. "Don't make any tricks, take off your pants and put your hands on your head so I can see them." Jack shouted.
Except for a few dwarf bushes, there was basically no stretch of water, and Jack was not afraid that Duke would sneak away, and he would not even think about untying the dead knot on Duke's feet for a while. So when Jack saw Duke crouching down, he honestly put his hand on his head, and leaned back against the car to look at Duke not far away.
Duke secretly passed the latest news back when he was crouching, and at this time, the roar became louder and louder, and soon Duke saw a helicopter flying over, and Jack heard the roar of a helicopter in the sky, and at first thought it was a routine flight patrol of the US Coast Guard, and ignored it, it was still some distance from the Mexican border, so as not to misunderstand it as a smuggling.
But it wasn't until the helicopter hovered over his head that Jack felt a little bad, but it was too late, and the order came from the helicopter to leave the car and lie on the ground with his head in his hands, and then he saw a sniper rifle sticking out of the helicopter, and the muzzle of the gun was facing his head.
Finished! Jack lamented inwardly. Although I don't know what this is all about, I know that my life is completely ruined.
