Chapter 477: An Unexpected Chance Encounter (Part I)
Yang Ling was a female policeman who was newly recruited into the unsolved case team before our disappearance, and she was responsible for sorting out unsolved case materials and other related civilian work in the unsolved case team. She also joined the police force not long ago, and we all called her Sister Yang. None of us thought that the kidnappers would come up with the idea of hitting her this time.
The few new recruits we recruited that time were all new police officers, because I think that only this kind of people who have just joined the police force for a short time are more worthy of our investment and training, after all, this kind of new police officers are much more obedient than those old fritters. They had just come out of the police academy. It's still like a blank piece of paper, we can draw as much as we want, and it's definitely much easier to use than those old fritters. Although they don't have much work experience, since they can be admitted to the police academy, they are definitely not so stupid, and they can take it slowly.
Yang Ling, like several other new students, is a very obedient person, and she usually takes the initiative to work overtime to complete the work she is told. She is the person named by Zhao Xiaotian to come in, because she is very smart and belongs to the kind of gentle and shy type. According to Zhao Xiaotian's words, this is his favorite dish. Even if the rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, it is also eye-catching.
There is a reason why I mention these things at this time.
Because just now we heard Deputy Director Xue say that the kidnappers asked Li Peiyi to send money for the second time, because of her uncle's matter, and others were taking revenge on her uncle or my father, so they asked her to send money, and then blew up the cruise ship to blow her up in the sea.
If there was no Yang Ling, we all felt that Deputy Director Xue's analysis was very reasonable, but now that the kidnapper suddenly turned the finger to Yang Ling, this is obviously a little unreasonable.
When Yang Ling was recruited by us, I had seen her detailed archives. This is definitely a very clean person. Both parents were ordinary employees of state-owned enterprises, and my grandfather's generation was also intellectuals. The recent generations of the family have no bad records, and several of the immediate relatives are some literate people. It can be said that no one in her family has ever been out of business, and she definitely has nothing to do with my father and Li Peiyi's family.
In other words, from this point of view, this kidnapper has nothing to do with my father and Li Qingfeng.
When I told these thoughts in my heart to Zhou Rong, Li Dakui, Zhao Xiaotian and others. Then I analyzed it with them, and everyone thought that my analysis was correct.
The main reason is that we have been scared of my dad's affairs for more than a year, so we can't help but think about things to him.
Once we decided that it had nothing to do with my dad, we started talking about how to deal with it.
The kidnappers extorted half a million in cash this time. One time is less than one time and twice as much. The first was two million, the second was one million, and the third was half a million.
The kidnapper's time was to tell us to prepare the money tomorrow morning and wait for him to inform us, so we still have an afternoon and a night to prepare.
In fact, there is nothing to prepare for this, because this kidnapper is very cunning, and it is impossible to follow him by phone, and it is unrealistic to follow him, because we don't know what the kidnapper looks like. No clues were found.
So we just asked Zhou Chen's father to prepare the money, although we didn't plan to give the money to the kidnappers this time, but we still have to do this.
You must know that in the case of kidnapping, the preparation of money by the family of the abducted person is also a very important factor.
In previous kidnapping cases, there have been many cases where the kidnappers secretly called the police and did not prepare money, resulting in the kidnappers directly tearing up the ticket.
Because some clever kidnappers will send people to spy on the relatives of the abducted people after they have succeeded in taking hostages. The first is to see if they have called the police, and the second is to see if they have gone to the bank to withdraw money as required. If one of these two items does not meet the kidnappers' expectations, it may cause them to tear up the ticket directly.
Analyzing some of the previous classic cases is a compulsory course for our police. Especially in the special department of our unsolved case team, when I first joined the unsolved case team, the most thing I did was to watch all kinds of classic cases. It's like studying at school and doing mock exams assigned by the teacher, which is very useful for yourself.
Therefore, by analyzing previous cases of kidnapping, we have come up with a specific approach to dealing with kidnappers.
That is, as long as we are handling a case, we will not go directly to meet with the relatives of the abducted person until the hostages are freed.
As often shown on TV, when someone is kidnapped, a large group of police officers squatting at the house of the kidnapper's relatives waiting for the kidnappers to call, this kind of thing is actually very ridiculous in the eyes of the police of our unsolved case team. As long as they are facing a slightly smarter kidnapper, if the kidnapper is more ruthless, it will directly cause the kidnapped person to let the kidnapper tear up the ticket.
Because a smart criminal would rather kill one more person and then go to the next one to do it again, rather than run to collect money when he knows that someone else has called the police. Unless it's the kind of person who doesn't eat negative, he will want to fight his IQ with the police. Like this one we met this time.
Obviously, the one we met this time was obviously a direct provocation to the police, because he dared to call the police to deliver money, which is enough to explain everything.
In the face of such adversaries, of course, our approach is also different.
After some careful discussion, we decided to rush to Zhou Chen's house in the afternoon and talk to his parents in person. Such kidnappers are not afraid of the police at all, and it will never matter if we go to meet them. After all, Zhou Chen has been kidnapped for more than two months, and they would have torn up the ticket a long time ago, and they would not wait until now.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Rong, Zhao Xiaotian, Yang Ling, and Zhang Yihan and I took two private cars and rushed to W City. Zhang Yihan and Yang Ling have a car, and I have a car with Zhou Rong and Zhao Xiaotian. Because we were worried that there would be kidnappers around the Public Security Department to monitor us, we only asked Zhang Yihan to accompany Yang Ling in a car.
Zhou Rong and Zhao Xiaotian and I planned to follow Yang Ling in civilian clothes to protect her when we paid the money tomorrow, of course, we didn't want the kidnappers to see us in advance.
Before leaving the Public Security Bureau, I went to meet with Deputy Director Xue alone.
I asked him to help me ask about the whereabouts of Jiang Wenshan, Li Jing, Li Yao, and Xing Fei, because I think why they suddenly stood on my father's side, it's quite unreasonable≡ since my dad died, I have thought about this matter many times, but I have never figured it out.
In my opinion, it is really strange that Li Yao and Li Jing will suddenly help my dad. Another point is why Jiang Wenshan suddenly appeared, and what kind of role did Xing Yu play. If there is really something wrong with Xing Yuan, with my father's shrewdness, he shouldn't fail to see it.
In addition, I also asked Deputy Director Xue to help me find someone to check Meng Jie's whereabouts, which is also what Zhao Xiaotian is most concerned about at present. Don't talk about Zhao Xiaotian, Meng Jie has been missing for so long and there is no news at all, and I am also very worried.
……
W City is far away from the capital of H Province, more than 500 kilometers away, and we drove for more than four hours to arrive. When I came to Zhou Chen's parents' house at six o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark.
Zhou Chen's parents are indeed richer, but no matter how rich they are, they can't eat after encountering major events that concern them. When we met Zhou Chen's parents, we could see that they were quite haggard.
These two couples are middle-aged children, and they have treated Zhou Chen as a treasure since they were born, holding it in their mouths for fear of melting, and holding it in their hands for fear of coldness. The child, who had been missing for five or six years, had just been found, but it wasn't long before he was kidnapped again, and I don't have to think about it to know that the two of them haven't lived this year.
Because it is a very beautiful villa, there is not even a couplet and lantern that every family has for the New Year.
Originally, we were looking for them to ask them if they had offended anyone a few years ago, but after some cross-examination, we didn't gain anything at all.
The two couples just asked us to hurry up and help find Zhou Chen, saying that as long as we could help them get the child back, he would be willing to go bankrupt.
Speaking of the back, both couples began to cry. Seeing two old men in their fifties crying in front of us, several of us felt very uncomfortable. Macro fork toss.
Yang Ling, who had always been a little scared, said directly in front of them: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will send money tomorrow, and I will definitely save Zhou Chen for you." ”
After hearing Yang Ling say that, the second elder's mood stabilized a little.
Originally, we were going to leave immediately, but at this moment, Zhou Chen's father suddenly said: "By the way, several police officers, the director of our city bureau asked someone to bring me something to say this morning, and she said that she asked you to come over to meet him." There are some details of the operation that he will discuss with you to avoid a repeat of what happened last time......"
Zhou Chen's father was of course referring to the bombing of the cruise ship on which Li Peiyi was riding.
Of course, we have no objections, after all, there are many aspects of tomorrow's operation that will require the cooperation of the local police. To put it bluntly, we are only here to help, and the real main force is still them, even if the director doesn't call us over, I will take the initiative to discuss it with the relevant person in charge.
However, what we didn't expect was that when we went to the local city bureau to find the director early the next morning, we just walked to the door of the director's office and ran into someone who shouldn't have been here.
