Chapter 458: Locking the Target
Hearing Lu Yuan say this, I suddenly remembered that the strange sound that appeared at the end of the recording file seemed to be the roar of a steamer.
Throughout the city, the only place where ships could appear was near the canal to the south. In other words, when the kidnapper made the first call to Lin Jie, he should have been near this canal.
Xincheng Bridge, Bus Line 1, Steamship Sound, Canal γγγγγγ Stitching these keywords together, a clear vein, and gradually presented in front of me.
Although I don't know what tricks that bastard will play, the only thing that is certain at the moment is that the location where the kidnappers choose to do it after the attack is very likely to be near the Xincheng Bridge!
"Long way!"
"What's wrong! I roared angrily, so frightened that the road on the side had not slowed down for a long time.
"Tell me, where is Bus Line 1 now?"
"Wait until I find it!" After checking the information from the police, Lu Yuan said affirmatively: "Now I just passed the seventh station, which is about ten kilometers away from us, how about it, do you want to go over and chase that bus?" β
"Don't!" I spread out the bus route map, and then pointed to the station where the Xincheng Bridge was located, and asked Lu Yuan to drive there in advance.
Xinchengdaqiao Station is the fourth-to-last station on the entire No. 1 bus line, and if you leave now, you should be there in time.
In the car, I roughly discussed the situation with Lao Yan, who listened to it, but also fell into a deep silence.
After I finished speaking, he replied slowly: "I always feel that something is not quite right!" β
Unexpectedly, Lao Yan's first reaction was exactly the same as mine: "You give analysis and analysis, what's wrong?" β
"It's so grinding!" Lao Yan smacked his lips and continued with the words: "If they kidnapped Huahua just to ask for money, there are many more ways to get cash than these clever ones." Simplicity and directness are the best approach. Camouflage voices like that, and deliberately misleading signal tracking, these tactics seem clever, but the longer they go, the more likely they are exposed! β
"Indeed!" Lao Yan's analysis is also in line with my initial conjecture.
By now, the whole kidnapping case has deteriorated, and I feel that the purpose of those bastards does not seem to be for the $500,000 cash in Lin Jie's hands, but for other purposes.
It's just that what the kidnappers are thinking, I can't figure out for a while.
For now, we can only follow the first line and hope that the kidnappers can show their flaws and let us find opportunities.
I still firmly believe that they will choose to do it near the Xincheng Bridge, so I let Lu Yuan drive the car to the vicinity of the Xincheng Bridge first. When I got out of the car, I suddenly found that the sky was already full of dark clouds, and there was a momentum of mountain rain coming.
The air around them seemed to become viscous, giving an inexplicable sense of oppression. And the pedestrians on the road unconsciously quickened their pace, as if they were planning to rush back to their homes before the rainstorm hit.
It was the second rainstorm in two days, and so much had happened in this tiny city over the course of two days. Suddenly, the pattern of the entire city has been completely changed, and in the dark corners of the city, those hidden uneasy forces are also ready to move at any time.
I looked at the sky a little distracted, and suddenly, I was frightened by a flash of lightning that streaked across the sky.
The lightning bolt stretched across the sky and seemed to split the entire sky in two, and a few seconds after the lightning streaked, the thunder also came, followed by a torrential rain that blurred the entire city.
At that moment, a strange thought suddenly appeared in my mind: Black Gold City, are you crying?
"Hey, Goofy!" In the heavy rain, Lu Yuan raised the decibel level as much as he could, so that I could hear what he was saying.
He pointed ahead, then to the surveillance screen. At this time, I realized that the bus line 1 that Lin Jie took should have already opened to our neighborhood.
We both held our breath and stared intently at the opposite driveway. Two minutes later, bus line 1 slowly drove out of the rain curtain and headed for the Xincheng Bridge.
"Keep up, get closer!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Yuan understood, followed the accelerator, and leaned Santana over.
At this moment, all the sounds around seemed to disappear, and only the majestic sound of rain continued to echo on both sides.
After passing a corner, Line 1 finally drove onto the Xincheng Bridge, and I kept my distance from Lu Yuan, not to stick to it easily, and at the same time, turned up the call volume in the headset to the maximum.
From the current point of view, there is no abnormality on the side of Line 1, and there are no suspicious vehicles parked on the Xincheng Bridge. By the time the last phone call was over, the kidnapper had evaporated.
Lu Yuan scratched his head and asked me, "You say, will those kidnappers evaporate from the world?" β
"It's hard to say, in short, keep up first!"
In the rainstorm, we silently followed behind the first bus line, ready to deal with what might happen.
"Wait, what's the sound?" Although the rain was surprisingly loud, at this moment, a roar similar to machinery was faintly transmitted through the car window.
The voices came and went, one after another, and it really tormented me. After thinking about it for a while, it dawned on me that this seemed to be the roar of a ship's engine from before. It's just that the sound of the rain has changed slightly, so I didn't react for a while.
Just as the ship was driving to the center of the Xincheng Bridge, Lin Jie's mobile phone rang again. This time, the call was a completely unfamiliar number, and it would take a long time for the police to track down the mobile phone signal.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on this strange call, and an invisible pressure gradually spread with the torrential rain.
"Teacher Yan, what should I do?"
"Calm down, answer the phone!"
Lin Jie took a deep breath and slowly pressed the answer button, and a few seconds later, the voice synthesized by software came slowly from the other end of the microphone again: "Take the money, get out of the car immediately!" β
A few simple words, but they didn't give Lin Jie any room for buffering.
"Ah, now?"
"Don't talk nonsense, if you want your daughter to live, just do what I say!"
After consulting Lao Yan and others, Lin Jie stopped Bus Line 1, and then took a suitcase containing cash and slowly walked off the bus.
It was pouring rain outside, and in an instant, she was drenched in heavy rain. On the bus, the people who ate melons without knowing what was going on looked at Lin Jie with all their hearts, as if she had just come out of a certain Anding hospital.
"I'm out of the car, what's next?"
"Go forward, walk to the bridge, hurry!"
The kidnappers seemed a little hurried, and when they spoke, they lost their previous calmness and calmness. However, this passage of his also exposes an important message.
That bastard was now near the New Town Bridge, and his eyes could just see what was happening on this bridge.
"Lao Yan, narrow the area of signal tracking, and lock the signal base station near the Xincheng Bridge! That kidnapper should be right next to us! β
"Understood... Waitγγγγγ Oh yes, found the bastard's place! Inside the apartment building on the right side of the New Town Bridge! In the headphones, Lao Yan's excited voice suddenly came: "That guy is estimated to be able to monitor what is happening on the Xincheng Bridge with a telescope." The action team is ready, follow the signal source, and take down that bastard for me! β
As soon as the words fell, the police officers who were ambushed around the Xincheng Bridge all moved into action and rushed to the apartment building.
Lu Yuan listened to the instructions and wanted to go over to help, but I stopped him.
It is highly likely that there is more than one kidnapper, and besides, what happened in the mall before is enough to attract our attention. I'll leave the road far away, there should be enough people on the other side of the apartment.
"Wait here first, I've already guessed how the other party is going to get the money!"
At the same time, Lin Jie happened to walk to the edge of the bridge, and the kidnapper gave instructions again: "Do you see the cargo ship under the bridge?" β
"See, what?"
"Throw the money up, quick!"
"This... I.... I want to hear my daughter again and make sure she's okay. β
"Impossible! Grind it again, and I'll cut off your daughter's fingers!" β
Lin Jie hesitated again and again, but finally followed the kidnapper's request and threw her suitcase along the side of the bridge on the cargo ship. In the meantime, I have asked Lu Yuan to go down from the other end of the bridge first and rush to intercept the cargo ship.
The cargo ship was not very big, and on the huge deck, there were containers of different colors, and I don't know what it was carrying. The trunk fell vertically in the air, impartially and squarely, and landed right on the cargo ship.
At the same time, Lu Yuan also got a speedboat on the side of the bridge and headed straight for the cargo ship. If the other party wants to get the money, the only way is to send someone to wait on the cargo ship in advance.
With Lu Yuan's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to get rid of the kidnappers on the cargo ship.
The kidnappers had already hung up the phone, so I hurriedly drove over and let Lin Jie into the passenger cab.
Just now, Lin Jie's whole body was wet with rain, but even so, Lin Jie's eyes were as firm as ever, without the slightest confusion.
After Lin Jie came in, she didn't say anything, but first took out a cigarette, lit it slowly, and after a while, she suddenly showed a helpless smile: "You say, can you catch those kidnappers?" β
"People have already been sent from both sides, and those guys can't escape!" Having said that, the uneasiness in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.
