Chapter 17: I Didn't Lie to You
"Hurry up and prepare! Don't call the police! ”
After the muddy male voice finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone, leaving Xu Xincha with no space to speak. During this phone call, Xu Xincha not only heard the kidnapper's voice, but also keenly noticed several strange sounds of "woo woo".
It's like a person who has been gagged by something, trying his best to make a sound.
"Lu Suo, I'll go first." Xu Xincha stood up suddenly, and after getting the consent of Director Lu, he called the city bureau while running outside, and then sent a notice to Song Ming and Wan Qizhe. He ran out of the conference hall and saw General Lu waiting in the car at a glance.
Xu Xincha was short and quickly and agilely got into the car: "And I'm going to go to the city bureau, Chuan Chuan has been kidnapped!" ”
For a time, the members of the Shiyan Institute each went to the city bureau, and even Wei Fei, the captain of the criminal investigation team, rushed to the city bureau. He is most experienced with this kind of thing: "What do the kidnappers say? ”
Xu Xincha rummaged through his mobile phone to record. He has a habit that he has maintained for many years, whether he is answering the phone or making a call, he will activate the recording function. At this moment, he released a short ten-second recording, and the kidnapper's muddy and vicious voice echoed in the hall of the city bureau again.
"I used a voice changer." Wei Fei immediately made a conclusion, "You call back and follow our instructions." We first have to make sure that the hostages are alive or not. ”
Although Xu Xincha was worried about Fu Chuanchuan's safety, he did not show any panic. Encountering such a big and critical matter, his whole heart slowly calmed down from the initial anxiety, as if something cold gradually descended on his heart, making his whole person strangely calm. He dialed Fu Chuanchuan's phone again, and while watching the investigator's instructions, he dealt with the kidnappers.
The kidnapper's voice still uses a voice changer so that others can't hear his true voice at all. Xu Xincha asked to listen to Fu Chuanchuan's voice according to the instructions of the investigator next to him, the kidnapper hesitated for two seconds, and then Xu Xincha heard the sound of the tape being torn, and Fu Chuanchuan's voice came out immediately.
"Xu Suo! I have a fixed ...... Woo! ”
"I heard you!" The kidnappers roared viciously, "Three million ransoms, not a penny less!" Put the money under the Mingdao Street Bridge before three o'clock tomorrow morning, or you will come and collect her body! ”
The phone was hung up. Suddenly, the entire hall of the city bureau fell silent.
Wan Qi suddenly said loudly: "Xu Suo! Sister Chuan said that she has a position! This person is usually caught by Fu Chuanchuan to use the ability to copy time to improve work efficiency, so she guessed what she wanted to say from Fu Chuanchuan's unfinished words.
Needless to say, there are already scouts who have begun to locate their mobile phones. When the investigator on the side was about to signal Xu Xincha to call the kidnapper again, Xu Xincha spoke from his contemplation.
"Guard," Xu Xincha pondered for a moment and raised his eyes to look at Wei Fei, "You raise money first." I probably ...... I know who the kidnappers are. ”
Raising three million is no small thing. The people present were either people's policemen who served the people and did not have much savings, or they were young researchers who had only been working for a few years. Wei Fei called a few people to go to the bank with Song Ming to withdraw money, while asking Xu Xincha to continue calling and asking for a lower ransom amount.
When he called again, the kidnapper answered the phone, but even after the voice changer, Xu Xincha still heard the kidnapper's anxiety and uneasiness, and after he called again after the communication was fruitless, the kidnapper had already turned off the mobile phone.
"It's located!" The scout quickly froze the interface, and he quickly pinpointed the coordinates, "Guard, at 203 Mingdao Street!" ”
No. 203 Ming Dao Street is actually a fork street, which is full of relatively old houses. Although this fork street is narrow, it is transparent, there are multiple entrances and exits, and it is night, in fact, the difficulty of arrest has greatly increased. Wei Fei had a judgment in his heart, and he organized a team to arrest people at No. 203 Mingdao Street, while a team went to ambush under the bridge on Mingdao Street with a ransom.
"You can rest here for a while." Wei Fei glanced at Xu Xincha, the latter's mood obviously sank a little, "At least now we can confirm that the kidnappers have no tendency to tear up tickets." Since he said the time, the place and the amount of the ransom, he would not easily tear up the ticket. ”
"I know." Xu Xincha quickly answered, and while watching a small team of scouts pack up their clothes and things and prepare to go out, he said, "No. 203 Chadao Street, I remember that there are some houses over there that are not inhabited. ”
"Why?" Wei Fei laughed, and then he saw the tall young assistant take a cup of hot water and stuff it into Xu Xincha's hand. Xu Xincha raised his head and smiled at him, and naturally took the cup and tightened it. Wei Fei suddenly felt a strange atmosphere inexplicably, but his good professionalism still made him continue, "Mingdao Street is in the southern district of City B, and the flow of people is the most frequent, maybe this house is occupied by people today, and no one will live in it tomorrow." ”
"When it's three o'clock in the morning and the kidnappers go out to get the money, we'll save the hostages." Wei Fei quickly called his leader, because he didn't know how many kidnappers there were, whether they had weapons or not, he had to apply for a gun, "First team, now go out to investigate and find the exact location of the hostages!" ”
Wei Fei turned his head around, and then said to Xu Xincha: "You don't have to go over in person, we will send someone to disguise yourself as ......"
"Guard," Xu Xincha interrupted Wei Fei lightly, "I'm going." ”
Preventing the victim's relatives from directly interacting with the kidnappers is an important principle for the city bureau in handling kidnapping and extortion cases. Even people like Xu Xincha, who have the ability to jump in time and can ensure that they are not injured, cannot go directly to the negotiation site. Wei Fei frowned on the spot, but as soon as he touched Xu Xincha's gaze, he couldn't say anything to refute.
Lu Jijiang watched coldly, and he found that Xu Xincha's beautiful eyes with slightly upturned tails were no longer like the usual full or frivolous or firm or gentle emotions, but calm and deep, like a pool of bottomless water. He seemed to be thinking, and as if he was reminiscing, people couldn't help but hold their breath, reluctant to disturb the air around him, for fear of waking up the pool.
"Not only do I have to go," Xu Xincha continued, ignoring Wei Fei's expression, "I also have to follow you to arrest." ”
"No way!"
Two voices rose up at the same time, one was Wei Fei's, and the other was Lu Jijiang's. I don't know if it's the first time that Lu Jijiang has spoken in such a resolute tone, Xu Xincha seemed to have come to life from "a pool of sleeping water" all of a sudden, his eyes rolled slightly, he glanced at Lu Jijiang, bent his eyebrows at him, and smiled faintly: "Little assistant, don't make trouble." ”
He stood up, walked up to Wei Fei, turned his head sideways and said a name in an almost imperceptible voice, and then said, "Guard, who the kidnapper is, you can guess it." ”
Wei Fei smiled bitterly and nodded: "This is too easy to guess." ”
"So I'm going to go over and explain it to him."
Wan Qizhe, who was standing on the side, couldn't understand the dumb riddle between the two of them, and just wanted to ask, he was sent back to the Shiyan Institute by Xu Xincha: "The equipment to dilute the timeline image?" Yes, but it is still in the final stage before it can enter the trial period. ”
"When will it be done?"
Wan Qi Zhe was a little humble when asked by Xu Xincha. He has always been an inspired workaholic, and it is inevitable that he will sometimes run out of inspiration in the middle of his research. For example, the egg flower timeline image device asked by Xu Xincha is a typical example: "Well, if I work overtime to catch up, I can probably make it as soon as possible." ”
"You go back to the Shiyan Institute now," Xu Xincha exercised his power mercilessly, "At three o'clock in the morning, before the kidnappers are caught, you have to make it for me." ”
Accept the salary of others, dare not disobey. Wan Qi pulled his legs and ran to the Shiyan Institute, and if he could buy himself one more second, he would buy one more second for himself.
At three o'clock in the morning, it's hard to get through just by keeping your eyes open, and most people will swipe their phones to watch TV dramas during this period, and the night may pass quietly like this. But after this incident, Xu Xincha was in the mood to swipe his mobile phone. He took the second glass of water that Lu Ji had poured him, looked up and said thank you.
His whole body was already a little cold, and the hot water in the palm of his hand was his only source of heat. Xu Xincha suddenly felt that it was not bad to have an assistant, in the past, he also ran to the city bureau every three or five times, and when something happened, he often went to the city bureau to do the handover work, and Song Ming ran out all day long, and Wan Qizhe of the technical department was a person who could not be disturbed at will.
Xu Xincha, a leader who is not big or small, usually travels alone. Even if he is rough and doesn't care about these things, he occasionally wants to have someone around him to talk to for comfort.
"I have to go, and I will, I won't get hurt." Xu Xincha explained to him, "You believe me. ”
His beautiful eyes regained their usual firmness, and Lu Jijiang knew that he couldn't do anything about him, so he pulled a stool and sat down beside him: "Then I believe you." After a pause, he added, "However, I want you to come too." ”
He added the last sentence when Xu Xincha was about to blurt out "no": "I was in the car with the guards, looking at you from afar, okay?" ”
This person is not born to know his own weakness. Xu Xincha laughed helplessly in his heart. Obviously, one second he was stubbornly not allowing himself to pass, and the next second he made a request to himself in a gentle and hoarse voice, and then took a small step back when he was about to refuse, making this request feasible all of a sudden, which is not too much at all.
"Okay."
At two o'clock in the morning, the city bureau carried Xu Xincha and Lu He to the bottom of the Mingdao Street Bridge on time. They prepared an ambush and waited until almost three o'clock in the morning, when Xu Xincha arrived under the bridge with a bag containing three million cash, put the bag in the position designated by the kidnappers, and returned as if nothing had happened, quietly hiding in the shadows.
At this time, City B was shrouded in death-like night and mist, and in a place like the Southern District, which was not prosperous, the slightest wisps of bleakness and gloom were revealed.
Sure enough, the kidnappers showed up alone. He wore a black mask and was somewhat hunchbacked.
In the next second, the voice of the first team came from Wei Fei's communicator: "Guard, the hostage has been saved, and he is still alive!" ”
"Catch!" Wei Fei made a quick decision. The members of the criminal investigation brigade who were lying in ambush rushed out like agile snakes and grabbed the kidnappers. In a noisy "don't move" sound, the kidnapper's mask was ripped off and his hands were cuffed.
Xu Xincha stood in front of him.
"Uncle Ho," he said softly, "why did you do this? ”
He He's father raised his head and glared straight at Xu Xincha. This man, who is already a little old, has despair and pain bursting out of his eyes, as well as deep hatred: "It's not your daughter who died!" ”
Xu Xincha waved his hand and motioned to the police officer next to him who was detaining He's father to let him go: "But Fu Chuanchuan didn't do anything wrong, her age is even ...... your daughter."
"Why not the death penalty! Why not pay for your life?! My daughter died at such a young age! What timeline, what time ability, why is the murder weapon a ring?! Father He suddenly moved wildly, and the handcuffs were slammed. The police officer next to him, who had loosened his strength, hurriedly held down Father He, but he didn't know where this elderly man got the strength, so he actually bumped into a few of them and rushed straight towards Xu Xincha, "You are all lying to me!" ”
He actually used his handcuffed hands to take out a knife from his waist and stabbed Xu Xincha with all his might. Xu Xincha subconsciously took a step back, raised his hand to block, and the tip of the knife slashed across his arm, cutting through his father-in-law and flesh. Several police officers hurried up to grab He's father's knife and hold him down again.
"I kid you not." Xu Xincha didn't care about his hands that began to bleed. The cold wind blew his whole body unconscious, and the blood flowed out at this time, and there was no real pain, "Uncle He, I explained to your second elder in the reception room about time killing in the reception room before. We will not shield criminal suspects. ”
Xu Xincha glanced back at Lu Jijiang, who had already run out, and stood behind him. He shifted his gaze to Wan Qizhe, who had worked an extra night shift with equipment in his hand. Wan Qi nodded at him, and then began to start the device.
The device for fading the timeline image is gradually starting to work - Wan Qi Zhe has just been developed, and he has not had time to give it a name. Father He only felt that the voice between heaven and earth was gradually moving away from him, and he could only hear Xu Xincha's voice dimly-
Jiang Yuan was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, because his wife was alone and has been seriously ill ever since. He He is innocent, and so is she. That's the way the world is, Uncle Ho, forget about the timeline we told you. ”
