Chapter 140: One Thought
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
"Actually, I really don't usually call people back after work, it's too inhumane, everyone is brothers who make money together, who doesn't want to have a good rest. 35xs" Lao Cai kept yawning, his hair was a little messy, "I'm sorry, I've been taking a lot of messy work lately, and my spirit is not very good...... If you don't mind, can I go make a cup of coffee first? โ
"Whatever it is, I'm bothering." Ling Shucheng just leaned against the table and didn't sit down.
The two are not really familiar enough to recall their friendship. Fortunately, Lao Cai knew that the young man in front of him would not come for casual greetings.
"You're hard too." The inferior instant coffee steamed up a slightly bitter mist, and Lao Cai blew on the side of the cup, "It's past two o'clock in the middle of the night, I thought it was a harassing call......
"It's urgent, so I'll get straight to the point and explain what I mean." Ling Shucheng, as always, didn't understand what politeness was, "So, why did you call Huang Shi back tonight?" โ
"Oh, that's not a coincidence." Lao Cai scratched his head, "Huang Shi, this person, has always been honest and hardworking, except for being a little unsociable, he has never caused me any trouble since we got along, so I have always entrusted him with the matter of the goods." โ
"Right?"
To put it simply, it is to check the type and quantity of goods received and shipped. As you probably know, because the things that are allowed to circulate freely between ships are not quite the same, such as ours, because food is basically self-sufficient, so secondary processed products, such as biscuits or canned food, can be sold casually. But in some places where the development is not very good, it is very troublesome to want to trade normally, and occasionally when I have to deal with their upper echelons, I have always been more stable Huang Shi to deal with it. โ
"So, the cause of this time is related to what you called 'right goods'?"
"Yes. The batch sent out by Huang Shi in the afternoon was detained when he left the ship for review, because it was mixed with a box of contraband that the other party would not receive. Lao Cai was so hot by the coffee that he gasped, and quickly explained, "This is a big taboo in our industry, otherwise, when this batch of goods follows the ship scheduled to leave tomorrow to the other party's territory, it won't end well." I don't want to be accused of being a 'spy'. โ
"It's really a coincidence. Are you sure that Huang Shi sent the wrong goods himself? Ling Shucheng asked.
"This ...... It's hard to say. After being silently questioned by the other party for a while, Lao Cai coughed dryly, and said mysteriously, "For the sake of our friendship, I'll tell you secretly." At the same time as calling Huang Shi over, I also went to the warehouse to check the balance, and found that the number on our side was actually correct. โ
"What do you mean?" Ling Shucheng frowned, "You mean, that box of problematic things was added out of thin air?" โ
"Otherwise, we counted the wrong quantity when we bought the goods, and this time we happened to send out the inexplicable extra box as it was. Do you think it's such a coincidence? Lao Cai spread his hands, "You probably know it, if it is really framed, there are only certain people who can handle it." Hey, if someone really led Huang Shi into the trap step by step and so carefully, it would be weird and scary...... But I don't expect you to take my word for it, so that's all I have to say. If your waist plate is stiff enough, try looking down. โ
"After rescuing Huang Shi...... Perhaps. Ling Shucheng's eyes vaguely revealed the anxiety that was being suppressed, "Are there any other clues?" โ
"No, at least I can't figure it out at this point."
Subconsciously and repeatedly confirming the time, Ling Shucheng snorted very lightly, turned around and said goodbye simply: "There may be my colleagues who will ask you the same thing in a short time." Some information that is only based on speculation, I hope you don't reveal too much. โ
"Don't worry, I know it."
-
The trail is broken again.
Ling Shucheng sat down slowly on the sofa in the public hall, lowered his head and dug into his pocket.
If you think about it, he hasn't smoked it in a while.
Inhaling deeply repeatedly, and then exhaling slowly, Ling Shucheng allowed himself to sink into the overly soft fabric little by little.
The sequelae of staying up late in a row found him with stitches. The blood vessels in the temples beat like drums.
For a moment, his mind was so blank that he almost lost consciousness, Ling Shucheng shook his whole body before falling into a physiological coma, and then suddenly got up and forcibly regained his consciousness.
The fact that the other party designed such an exquisite trap to take away Huang Shi shows that this person is very important to them. In this case, the longer he delays at this time, not only will Huang Shi's life be in jeopardy, but some hidden information will be exposed to this group of people with unknown backgrounds sooner or later.
If Huang Shi died like this......
Before considering the consequences of more rational aspects, the first thing that came to mind was the eyes that Yuan Sui looked at him before being helped by Mo Yunhan and another little nurse to lie on the stretcher bed.
It's like being stared at by some unknown abyss. Ling Shucheng's scalp was numb at that moment.
Not because he was afraid of the darkness of the abyss, but because he had a faint glimpse of a glimmer of light that was still dying within.
It was a plea for help, and even the owner of the eyes didn't realize it.
He remembered what Yuan Sui had told him about the past that should be classified as a "childhood shadow".
Yuan Sui had witnessed the end of a man who had decided to say goodbye to the world, and now, perhaps she herself was close enough to be the balcony that could be used to fall.
He is also one of the promoters.
"A preliminary search of the public area within the range has been completed and no suspicious targets have been found." The latest developments sent by Kong Zhongsi evoked a little bit of his sense, even if the sentence was not "progress" at all.
He has to focus on what matters most at the moment.
The structure of the entire "Pangu" unfolded in his mind, and Ling Shucheng tried to substitute himself as a prisoner who had absconded after successfully holding Huang Shi hostage.
Surveillance is temporarily paralyzed by the talent of a companion. The seven of them teamed up and eventually succeeded in subduing their target, and then decided to split up, two of them were responsible for taking Huang Shi away from the designated location, while the other five continued to go deeper, kidnapping the target's daughter to add leverage to the next interrogation.
Judging from the state of the video response, it seems that the first task took only about ten minutes. Even after the monitoring was restored, Huang Shi and the two people who controlled him still "disappeared" together smoothly.
The easiest possibility to think of is that their stronghold was originally quite close to the Huang family, so it was very convenient to move.
The residential areas inside the ship have always been compactly arranged. Within a fifteen-minute walk, there are about 500 households. With the police station now almost paralyzed and the army not being able to send many personnel, it will take at least five hours to carefully search the 500 households one by one.
Five hours, which is too long for the side trying to rescue the hostages.
And what about the kidnappers?
Inadequate.
Ling Shucheng lightly pressed his fingers on the center of his eyebrows, and his movements froze.
Yuan Sui's shadow floated in front of his eyes again. Even if Ling Shucheng tried his best to dispel this ominous thought, he had to secretly admit that this girl seemed to have become a ghost in his heart.
Compared with Mo Yunhan, who was beside her at that time, Yuan Sui, who was lying on the stretcher, looked lifeless, and his arm that had just barely stopped the bleeding was as pale as paper.
Freeze this scene in his mind, and the tingling sensation of his scalp hit him again.
I see.
The throat tightened. Leaning against the wall and covering his mouth and coughing twice, Ling Shucheng quickly touched the headset.
"Are you still in the monitoring room?" The subject of the inquiry was Kong Zhongsi.
"I was at the scene of the search. Did you find anything? I can go back right away if necessary! โ
Taking a deep breath again, Ling Shucheng's voice was low but clear: "Retrieve all the videos near the place where the crime occurred, monitor all the videos after recovery, and try to find two medical staff wearing masks who are escorting patients whose faces are also covered on the stretcher bed." โ
"What do you mean?"
"We may have been deceived by a simple trick." Ling Shucheng replied, "Do you remember? When they first boarded the elevator, each of them carried a lot of stuff in an opaque cloth bag. But these things, we didn't find them in Huang Shi's house, which means that they have either been discarded by them, or they are being used by two other accomplices. โ
"You mean, they may have disguised themselves as medical staff and took away Huang Shi, who may be in a coma, in a grand manner!" Kong Zhongsi's volume also increased.
"Fifteen minutes, it's too few places to go, but it's more than enough to change clothes. Moreover, such a design can also lead us astray, choosing to put more manpower into the vicinity of the crime site first......" Ling Shucheng faintly heard a faint breathing sound, Kong Zhongsi guessed that this person should also be rushing to the monitoring room, "Generally speaking, if it is for insurance reasons, I should choose to let more people monitor the relatively threatening Huang Shi, rather than take his daughter away......"
"Because there has always been a shortage of medical staff on board, when going out for first aid, they all act in pairs, and in order not to block some narrow lanes and affect traffic, family members are generally not allowed to keep up with them!" Kong Zhongsi almost wanted to applaud this hidden detective, and while slapping the elevator buttons wildly, he gasped and shouted, "Yes! If you dress up like this, whether you are directly witnessed by others or flashed from the surveillance, it will not attract our attention at all! โ
"Find them and follow the surveillance along the way to get to their hiding place." As he spoke, Ling Shucheng slammed open the door of the monitoring room and briefly met the eyes of the two members of the group who stayed behind.
"Team Leader Ling? How did you get here? What's going on again? Ni Guangjie quickly got up and gave him a seat, a customary, programmed standard smile on his face.
Speaking of which, Han Yue is also a person who has always liked to wear a little insincere smile.
Ling Shucheng glanced at the baby-faced senior lightly.
He knew he wasn't liked by this man. Out of thin air, gratuitous premonitions.
