Chapter 12: The Mysterious Repairman
I originally thought that I would be able to do the first and third tasks with Big Mouth, but it would just be a ransom task, which would be tricky.
I didn't expect Tie Jun to really throw this hot potato to the two of us.
And this ransom is 10 million, not 180 yuan, I can't really find it with Big Mouth, and we can't get together to put it on top.
Tie Jun sighed and said that he didn't want the two of us to go, but the people on Yang Xin's side haven't stopped working since last night, and they have been looking for a little day, not only to investigate the residents of the unit door, but also to let go of the rooftop, and to conduct a carpet search, but now there is still no progress, and the top is chasing tightly, so they want to change the batch of people for luck.
The police are like soldiers, they have to obey orders. Although Big Mouth and I were unhappy in our hearts, we finally took the job hard.
The two of us chatted with Tie Jun for a while, and then retired with the mission.
But we didn't rush to find Yang Xin and learn about the situation with him.
Yang Xin said that there are still two groups of people staying at the upper floor, one group is guarding the door, interrogating and searching the residents who come in and out, and the other group is still investigating layer by layer.
And he meant, since we were going, he replaced the group that was searching.
In fact, this is not the point I want to understand, I waited for him to finish, and I really saw that he didn't say anything to my heart, so I simply asked, "Is there any advanced equipment to assist us in finding ransom?" ”
Yang Xin was very funny, thought about it and said, "Why don't you borrow two police dogs from the armed police force?" ”
I said pull it down, I haven't heard of a police dog who is a natural money addict and would be so interested in money.
But no matter what I say, I still have a very confident look on my face, and pat my chest to let Yang Xin take a look.
Dazui and I drove a private car, and finally parked the car at the north gate of the high-rise community, because the parking space inside was quite tight, and we then walked to the door of the unit.
The two groups of people who were guarding here had received the letter in advance, and the group in charge of searching for the ransom money in particular had happily handed over to us.
I took the opportunity to reminisce about the process of chasing the bandits that night. The kid took the ransom, took the elevator, and finally died on the rooftop.
I don't think it's possible for him to put the ransom money into any household's house in such a short period of time. I also thought that there are not only various solar water heaters on the rooftop of this high-rise, but also several small warehouses and small houses, and even a lot of sundries.
The possibility that the ransom was hidden here is still quite large, and I discussed it with Big Mouth, no matter how the original group of people searched in a carpet way, we still started from the rooftop.
My brothers and I worked very hard, and after a search, it was almost dark.
I don't know how many places I've got, I've got dirty, my big mouth is even worse, my face is full of black paths, and the tip of my nose is almost gray.
I had the intention of giving up, so I said to Big Mouth, "Why don't we go down and rest for a while and have a meal or something?" ”
The big mouth is even more ruthless, saying that it is better to drink some more wine, with the strength of the wine, maybe it is so crazy that there will be an unexpected discovery.
I didn't refute him, I thought to myself, my brother is looking for something at such a high place, and dare to drink? What if I fall?
I called him down the rooftop together, originally we wanted to take the elevator, who knew that the elevator was not good at this time, and a strange symbol was displayed on the electronic screen at the door.
Big Mouth recognized it and said that the elevator was being repaired, maybe it was time for a routine inspection.
But I have a question, the elevator should be inspected during normal working hours, don't the maintenance workers rest?
I took my phone and called my colleague who was guarding the door, and wanted to ask what was going on? But there were ten rings, and no one answered.
I was even more confused. Big Mouth looked at me in a daze, he yawned tiredly, and said don't think about it, the elevator can't be used, why don't we just take the stairs?
He also took the lead. I followed him. After walking like this for a while, I suddenly had an epiphany, and I yanked my big mouth. Big Mouth almost stumbled and fell, and he turned his head to look at me.
At this moment, I guessed where the ransom was, and even in the excitement, I couldn't speak. I stressed to him, "well, well......"
In the local dialect of Mozhou, the well is a curse word, because this word is two when viewed horizontally and vertically.
The big mouth was cold and misunderstood, thinking that I was scolding him, he was still anxious, and retorted, "Circle, you are a well, you, you, you are still a four, except for two or two!" ”
I didn't have time to talk to him, and added, "The hoistway! Think about it, can the elevator shaft hide the ransom? ”
Big Mouth was slightly stunned, but also came back to taste.
What I think is that the kidnappers entered the elevator with injuries, and during the ride, they removed the top cover of the elevator and threw the ransom money down the top cover, so that the ransom fell down the bottom of the elevator shaft.
This can also explain why the police can't receive the signal from the tracker. Because of the pattern and material of the elevator shaft, it is estimated that even X-rays are difficult to penetrate.
And then again, now that the elevator is being repaired, what does that mean? I suspect that the kidnappers have sent someone over to take the money.
I didn't expect my brother and I to be so coincidental to the kidnappers again, but we weren't afraid of this, so we pulled out our guns together and ran up the stairs as fast as we could.
I didn't call the gatekeeper anymore because I had a vague feeling that they might have been picked up by the kidnappers.
Every time we ran down the floor, we would keep the elevator moving. So when I came to the fourth floor, I saw that the elevator was moving, and according to the electronic board, it was still going up.
I thought to myself, what's going on? After the kidnappers took the money, they wanted to come up and deal with me and Big Mouth?
Big Mouth and I just looked at each other and didn't say much. I also resolutely approached the elevator door and pressed it against the electronic board.
We both stepped back together and raised our guns. I watched as the number on the electronic board changed to four, and the elevator door clanged open.
We both knew how powerful the kidnappers were, especially since they also had liquid bombs, and at this moment, we both took a step back together.
But not to mention the kidnappers in the entire elevator, there is not even a ghost.
I couldn't figure out what was going on, and I reached out to block the elevator door when it was about to close again.
I looked inside, and because it was very targeted, I soon noticed that the top of the elevator showed signs of loosening, and even half a blade of grass was hanging in the gap between the roof panels.
There's a lawn outside this high-rise, and I guess someone has blades of grass on their shoes, and as he climbed up, he inadvertently left this trail.
Big Mouth asks me what to do next? Especially pointing to the elevator, will the kidnappers still be in the shaft?
I don't think it's very likely, because the roof has been put back in, and he can't do it by hiding in the hoistway.
I discussed with Big Mouth, and the two of us took the elevator and the other ran down the stairs, so that the two ends of the block went to the first floor together.
Big Mouth took the initiative to run the stairs, and I didn't fight anything. When the elevator doors closed, the entire elevator went to the top floor and began to run down.
I don't know what's going on over there, I'm more worried that he won't meet kidnappers during this period, in that case, he will be too passive to be alone.
I listened carefully, but there were no gunshots, which is a good thing.
When the elevator finally stopped on the first floor and the door opened, I saw a person standing outside. I was so frightened that I raised my gun.
But this man has a big mouth. I walked out with a sigh of relief, and then we both ran out of the cell door together.
I looked along the left and right sides, and I didn't find any maintenance workers, but from the right side of the road, a limping came to an aunt with limited mobility.
I want to ask if this aunt has met a maintenance worker, so that I can also decide which direction I and Dazui will chase next.
This aunt is a little behind the ear, I asked twice, and the second time it was almost a roar. Aunt sighed, pointed behind her, and said that you should chase it, the maintenance has just left, and you can catch it if you are lucky.
I ran with the big mouth, and when I turned a corner, I saw a middle-aged man on a bicycle, dressed in yellow overalls, with two large bulging pockets hanging from the handlebars, and a large box in the back seat.
Big mouth muttered, saying that the kidnappers hadn't seen him for a few days, why were they so miserable? I didn't even have a car, and I changed to riding a bicycle?
I was a little confused, too, but we didn't care about it, and we lunged again. When he got closer, he shouted and told him to get out of the car with his hands raised.
He hadn't been paying attention to the two of us, but he looked back at the big mouth. The big mouth was sensitive, and immediately raised the gun and asked him, "Didn't you hear me?" ”
The man was so frightened that he forgot to ride his bike, and he was about to flee. As a result, he fell straight out of the car.
I have to say that he is quite solid, he didn't fall out of any problems, and after quickly getting up, he raised his hands and stammered, "Two big brothers, I'll fix the toilet as soon as I do, and I don't have any money!" ”
I was stunned by Big Mouth. At this point, the bicycle also fell to the ground, and I leaned forward and rummaged through the two pockets and boxes.
I could see clearly that there were small pipe unclogging machines, toilet drawers, etc., and these tools were very dirty and smelly, and there was a faint smell of feces and urine.
I was made to smoke my nose. I know that I have a problem with Big Mouth, and the aunt must have misunderstood, thinking that we were looking for a toilet repairer.
I was so angry that I didn't know what to say. Big Mouth explained, saying that we are police officers and are going out to solve the case.
The master nodded, but was still a little shocked.
After a few seconds of slowing down, I asked the master again, "Have you just seen a maintenance worker repairing an elevator?" ”
Master Mu Na said yes, and pointed in a direction, saying that he seemed to be carrying a bag of equipment and running towards the north gate.
Big Mouth and I left the old master behind and swooped again.
As soon as the two of us rushed to the north gate, I noticed that a pickup truck was getting up, and the words "elevator maintenance" were written on its body.
So far, I'm not sure if the driver is the kidnapper we're looking for, but when I looked around, there was no other suspicious person.
The pickup truck drove past us and the driver turned his head to look at us and sneered at us.
Big Mouth shouted to chase, and our private car was parked not far away, so we hurried there again.
Look at the meaning of the big mouth, this is to get in the car and start the fire, but I am affected by the subconscious, and I always feel that there is something wrong!
