Chapter I, Section 5
In other words, this jade pendant is a unique item for the current Wang Lixun, as long as I get this jade pendant, I can find a way to get close to Wang Lixun.
After all, people are also multimillionaires, and for no important reason for a person like me, it is estimated that even the secretary of other people's secretaries is difficult to see.
With the first step of the plan, it is equivalent to half the success, and the rest depends on the element of luck.
So I simply cleaned up, stuffed all the things given by Brother Niu into a small satchel, and then turned out my remaining more than 500 yuan in cash from under the mattress and took it with me, and went out.
Riding my second-hand bicycle, which was about to fall apart, I rode south along the route the killer had fled. Along the way, I followed the buildings, street signs, and shops that Xiao Jilin saw, and it was easy to find the 'Green Farmhouse'.
I took out the parchment roll, fixed the picture at the moment when Xiao Jilin saw the shop, and then compared it from the same angle, 'That's right, it seems that I have found the right one.' There's only one way out of here, and if I follow the road, I'm sure I'll find the woods. '
I didn't dare to stop, I made sure that the route was right, and I grabbed my bike and rushed forward, because the killer was driving a car and I was riding a bicycle. They had only walked for forty minutes, but I didn't know how long I had to ride to get there.
This road is a winding mountain road, entering this road is equivalent to entering the continuous mountains, the road is full of cars pulling goods to and fro, and it is quite lively. Thanks to this, the van probably won't be able to drive too fast, otherwise I'm a broken car, and I probably won't be able to reach the destination until dark.
Along the way, I carefully dodged the speeding trucks and carefully watched the woods that might appear on the side of the road, for fear that I would miss them if I was not careful, but in the end I realized that this concern was actually unnecessary.
This road is built along a mountain stream, on both sides of the road are like a knife and axe cut by the mountain wall, in order to prevent rockfall when the road was built, the mountain wall is also attached to the steel wire fence, used to block the falling stones, the steel mesh stretches until the end of the line of sight, can not help but make people sigh, human means to subdue nature.
After two hours of hard riding, a sparse forest finally appeared in front of me, and to be honest, if it didn't show up again, I already had the intention of giving up.
This forest is a small flat area sunken into the right side of the road, and judging by the growth of the trees here, the trees have been planted for only three to five years, and the scale is small, so it is a bit far-fetched to call it a forest.
This kind of forest land is generally planted by the local government in response to the call for returning farmland to forest, so it is not as dense as the real wild forest, and the ground has been rested, and the low shrubs have been cleared, and only those wild grasses grow densely. The trees are widely spaced so that small cars can easily pass through.
I turned the car around and turned into this forest, and the strongest trees in it were the thickness of an adult's calf, and the road surface was relatively flat, so it was not difficult to walk.
This flat land is at the intersection of the foundations of two mountains, the mountain is very steep, but the foundation of the mountain is quite gentle, this side is still relatively close to the city, the mountain is not very huge, if you follow the road further, you can see the real mountain. By observing my surroundings, I was able to confirm that this was the same forest that the kidnappers had driven into.
After riding into the forest for more than ten minutes, I found that behind these two mountains, there was actually a valley with dense vegetation, but it was blocked by the mountains tightly, and you could not see the scene inside without going deep into the woodland.
The dilapidated van was parked on the edge of the valley, probably because of the dense bushes inside, and the kidnappers couldn't drive in, so they threw the car here.
I can see that the car was simply covered with branches, but it was done very carelessly, and even the body of the car was not blocked, so that a person could see it at a glance, and I don't know why the two kidnappers bothered to block these branches?
Seeing that I found the kidnapper's car, I was really excited for a long time, and this kind of detective exploration can really stimulate people's interest.
I parked the car in place, picked up a withered branch, and tapped on the grass in front of me, while carefully moving forward in the grass, the grass here grows denser than outside, and there are usually snakes in places where there is grass, so it is better to be careful when walking in this kind of place.
Approaching the van, I reached out and pulled the door, which was actually locked. I guess these two guys have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and they don't want their cars and they lock up their hair.
I'm not welcome, I cut out a stone on the ground, and greeted the car window directly, we won't unlock the lock, and there is still brute force, anyway, there is no one in this place.
It took several blows to smash the window and open the door from the inside.
Everything was as I expected, the Guanyin jade pendant thrown in the glove box was indeed forgotten by them. Unexpectedly, in the co-pilot's box, I actually found an information sheet for a phone card, and a copy of the ID card was glued to it, and I recognized it after just looking at it, it was the one who was responsible for driving among the kidnappers.
These two kidnappers seem to be quite unprofessional, and such an important clue is thrown together with the crime vehicle. The certificate shows that this person's name is Zhou Xiangdian, and his household registration address is a county around the city.
I tucked this document into the inside pocket of my jacket, which is very important information and must be properly stored.
I flipped through the car several times to make sure there were no more clues before leaving, and before leaving, I was very professional in re-hiding the car, and now even if someone passes by, it is difficult to find that there is a car parked here.
Before turning around and leaving the woods, I gazed at the grassy valley for a long time, where Xiao Jilin was buried, but I couldn't find his body now, and if that would be the case, I wouldn't be able to deal with the rest of the situation, and it would be enough for me to explain like a policeman.
I only have less than four days to gain Wang Lixun's trust, and only with his absolute trust can it be possible for Wang Lixun to approve of these messages, which were brought to him by his son, otherwise I will only be regarded as a liar who wants to defraud money, and then Xiao Jilin's wish will be frustrated.
"I'm sorry, little friend Wang Jilin, if you wait patiently for a few more days, I will definitely fulfill your wish for you. ”
By the time I got back to my accommodation, it was already evening, and after a day of riding without food, I almost fainted on the way back.
On the way, I bought half a catty of pig's head meat to treat myself after a tired day.
That night, I found a small box, put the jade pendant and a letter I wrote in it and wrapped it, and sent it to Wang Jilin's father, Wang Lixun, who sent it to the same city express express expedited mail, it is estimated that he will receive it early tomorrow morning, as for the address, it is naturally found by the almighty network, Wang Lixun is our local tycoon, a person with a head and a face, and it is naturally easy to find his relevant information on the Internet.
There is nothing special on my letter to him, which roughly means that I am a relatively low-key, but skilled private detective, and after all my efforts, I finally found the clue of your son Wang Jilin. Of course, if you want to know, we have to meet face-to-face, and by the way, we can talk about the price.
Don't think I'm shameless, after all, I'm doing this job for the sake of benefits, who let me have no rent for next month.
The rest are some unnutritious explanatory words, for example, I learned about his child through a special channel, out of the great mission of a detective, so I acted decisively before I was commissioned, and got a lot of clues, and I attached my contact information at the end.
I don't have much hope for how much he believes in the content, I just hope that he will give me a chance to meet after seeing the jade pendant.
I slept well that night, maybe I was too tired after a day of riding, or maybe I was more at ease when things were in place.
Although I was a little prepared, I was still a little excited when the phone rang the next morning. I grabbed the phone and asked in a calm voice, "Hey, who's who?"
"I received a parcel, did you send it?" was the voice of a hoarse man on the other end of the phone, and just listening to the voice made one know that this was a man who was going through a difficult situation.
"Oh, it's Mr. Wang. That's right, I sent the packet, and the contents are yours, right?"
"I've seen it, it's mine. I'm a businessman, what do I like to explain clearly, let's get straight, how much do you want to release my son?"
When I heard his words, I was depressed, I was being treated like a kidnapper!
"Mr. Wang, I have made it very clear in my letter that I am a private investigator, not a kidnapper. I'm also in it for money, but I don't do anything illegal. ”
After listening to my answer, Wang Lixun was silent on the phone for more than ten seconds before another voice came: "That may be my misunderstanding, right?
"My surname is Wei. ”
"Mr. Wei, I'm sorry just now, I'm a businessman, and I'm always a little wary of people. You can rest assured, as long as it is true, as long as it is true, my Wang Lixun will definitely not treat you badly. ”
Seeing that his words had taken a turn for the better, I quickly answered: "That's right, I do have the whereabouts of the child, but I can't tell you on the phone, I can only talk to you." ”
After a while, Wang Lixun said after a while: "Interview, it's okay, then I'll go see you, or will you come to me?"
I looked around at my messy room, shook my head, and said to him, "I'd better go to your place, and you can find a place." ”
Wang Lixun said: "Then come to my company, the address is in XX Industrial Park, Gaoxin 4th Road, do you have time today?"
I replied, "Yes, I'll be there in an hour." ”
I hung up the phone, packed my things, and went out to Gaoxin. In fact, I found Wang Lixun's company address on the Internet, and the parcel was sent to that address.
Wang Lixun is doing machining, the processing plant is located in the suburbs far away, in order to facilitate business handling and receive customers, in the industrial park rented a floor of office buildings, which is also the way that many companies are used to now.
Wang Lixun's company is still relatively easy to find, and it takes 30 minutes to take a taxi to the gate of the industrial park. I registered as a visitor at the doorman and went up to the floor where Wang Lixun's company was located.
Directly opposite the elevator is the front desk, a little girl in professional clothes, sitting upright behind the bar, as soon as she saw me approaching, she asked enthusiastically: "You are Mr. Wei, right?"
It seems that Wang Lixun has already explained the news that I am coming, and this feeling of being valued by the CEO of a company makes me a little fluttery, and I feel a lot more empty even when I walk.
I didn't answer, I just nodded my head to indicate that I had to take some shelves at this time, or it would be difficult to make a show later.
"Hello Mr. Wei, Mr. Wang is already waiting for you, please come with me. The little girl who greeted me was very welcoming, and after saying that, she made a gesture of please, and motioned for me to follow her.
The scale of Wang Lixun's company is really not small, the hall is an office block, with an area of hundreds of square meters, and the staff is usually busy in this block one by one. But it's a little strange that today is not a weekend, but there is no half of the company empty, which makes me a little surprised, but after all, it's someone's company, and it has nothing to do with what love looks like, so I didn't pay too much attention to it.
Turning the hall around, I was taken to a large conference room, with tables and chairs stacked in the corner, leaving a large space in the middle. There was only one person in the conference room, nestled in a large swivel chair with his back to us, and I guess this should be Wang Lixun. What makes me a little puzzled is, why didn't this Mr. Wang choose to receive guests in the office? Am I so unworthy of attention? I felt a little angry in my heart.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wei has arrived. After speaking, the little girl didn't wait for Mr. Wang's reply, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Watching the little girl walk away in a panic and leave me alone, the anger in my heart suddenly turned into panic, after all, a few days ago I was an unemployed person who couldn't even mix food, but now I have to play with a big boss worth tens of millions, which is a big test for me.
I steadied myself and tried to suppress my slightly trembling legs.
The man in the chair slowly turned. I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a leather coat full of iron nails, with a big bald head and a face full of meat.
Seeing that person's face clearly, I suddenly felt bad in my heart, this person is not Wang Lixun. Before I could react, four vicious bald heads pounced on me, each holding a rubber baton in their hands, and beckoned to me without saying a word.
Before I came, I also considered various possible situations, considered the possibility of facing distrust, and even considered that Wang Lixun might be with two policemen, waiting for me to throw myself into the net, but that was not too big a problem, as long as I could communicate with him face-to-face, I would have the opportunity to convince him to believe my words, but I didn't expect it to be such a situation.
