"Okay, I'll tell you."

Tian Chunda sat on an empty chair, looked at Qiao Jian and said, "You hung out the sign that you were in a meeting, it seems that you are waiting for something." If someone is intimidating, you can only wait for two things. ”

"Wait a minute, how do you think I'm waiting for something?"

"Because when you talk to me, you secretly look at your watch from time to time. Therefore, the two things you are waiting for can only be the contact of the criminal or the money. However, one hour and forty minutes had passed since the elevator exploded. If the criminal wants to extort money, he should call immediately after the explosion, because intimidation is best achieved at that time. Therefore, I think that the monetary demand has been made and is in the stage of making up the money. You're waiting to send the money. According to common sense, we will not ask our subordinates to send them before 6:36 or 7:77. It should be specified before seven o'clock, or before seven thirty o'clock. It was seven forty-two o'clock when we came in just now, so I think you must have instructed it to be delivered before eight o'clock, because I always had this time in mind, so I looked at my watch from time to time. So, we went out for a while and came back. That's the case. Tian Chunda said lightly.

Qiao Jian listened attentively and said, "It seems that you can be trusted as a police officer, so I'll tell you all." As he spoke, he took out a letter from the drawer and put it in front of Tian Chunda.

"This is a threatening letter received the day before yesterday."

"I'll take a look." Tian Chunda picked up the letter, which did not have the name of the recipient written on it, and pulled out the stationery inside - if you don't want the hotel to explode, prepare five million yuan.

It didn't help to report to the police, and when the money was ready, a strip of red cloth was hung in the window of the manager's office on the thirty-sixth floor! Explosive maniac

"I thought it was a prank and ignored it, because this is not the first time I have received such a letter." "That's how the explosion happened. And as you said, immediately after the explosion, a man called, and the amount demanded increased to 10 million yuan at once. The hotel usually has five or six hundred guests, and there are many foreign tourists. Considering the safety of the people, they had to agree to the request of the criminals. ”

"Sure enough." Tian Chunda nodded and handed the threatening letter to An Yi.

At this moment, the phone on the general manager's desk suddenly rang sharply.

Qiao Jian turned on the tape recorder installed on the phone and picked up the microphone.

"You're Mr. Qiao Jian, right?" A man's voice was heard.

"Ah, it's me."

"Is the money ready?"

"It's ready. How to send it? ”

"So, can you send it in fifteen minutes?"

"Fifteen minutes?" Qiao Jian's eyes looked at Tian Chunda as if he was asking.

Tian Chunda nodded confidently.

So Qiao Jian said into the microphone: "Where to send it?" ”

"Let me ask you first, didn't report to the police?"

"No, the police came to the hotel to investigate the bombing."

"Well, if you tell me about it, the hotel will be bombed again."

"What did you say?" Qiao Jian's eyebrows furrowed.

"You don't have to panic. A time bomb has been planted in the hotel. I'll tell you where the money is when it gets to me. ”

"When did it explode?" Qiao Jian asked nervously.

"There's still plenty of time. Feel free to send your money! ”

"Where?"

"Room 2416."

"Where's room 2416?"

"Do you still need to ask? It's room 2416 of your hotel. Fifteen minutes later, more than enough time. ”

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Jian looked at Tian Chunda with a confused face.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't you talk about it on the phone?" Tian Chunda said.

"But, in this case, isn't the criminal telling us to go to the room and arrest someone? It's scary. ”

"...... guest in that room?"

"I'll have someone check it out right away."

As soon as I asked the front hall, I found out. According to the accommodation card, the guest's name is Du Ren, 40 years old, associate professor of the university, lives in Nanshan Community, and went through the accommodation procedures at 2 o'clock in the afternoon today.

"The so-called associate professor of the university is a lie, right?" Qiao Jian said.

"I'll take a trip." Tian Chunda said casually.

"However, if that person is a criminal and knows me, it will be troublesome!"

"No, there won't be any trouble. If this Du Ren is a criminal, he will be arrested on the spot, even if he is instructed by someone, he will also be arrested and traced down. ”

"But what if there is a time bomb in the hotel?"

"The EOD team will be here soon. I'll go and meet Du Ren for a while, please give me the suitcase. ”

"It doesn't matter, right?"

"Don't worry!"

Tian Chunda smiled at Qiao Jian, took the suitcase containing 10 million yuan and walked out of the general manager's room.

An Yi followed him down the corridor.

Came to room 2416 and knocked on the door. A crack opened in the door, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. Tian Chunda took advantage of the situation to grab the handle and forcibly opened the door.

"Ahh The middle-aged man was attacked suddenly and screamed. Tian Chunda walked briskly into the room and pushed the man in the shirt down on the bed.

Tian Chunda stared intently at the man lying on the bed, and shouted to An Yi: "Check the bathroom!" ”

When An Yi heard the shout, he immediately checked the bathroom as if he had been electrocuted, even looking inside the closet.

"Not a single one."

Tian Chunda put the suitcase on the floor and said to the man who easily got up from the bed: "Tell me about it!" ”

"Please help me." The man said in a pale voice trembling.

"What's going on?"

"If I don't get the money back, my wife and children will be killed."

"By whom?"

"I don't know who it is. Last night, two people suddenly broke into my house, took my wife and my only daughter, and asked me to stay in this hotel today, and when I received the money in the suitcase, I took it back and released them. Otherwise, the wife and children will be killed by them. Please! Give me that suitcase! ”

"What are the characteristics of their physiognomy?"

"Both of them are about 30 years old, wearing sunglasses and white masks, and their faces are not clear."

As the man answered, there was a sudden commotion in the hallway. The sirens of ambulances were heard. The man looked surprised and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Presumably the guests are starting to evacuate. It seems that the criminals have planted a time bomb in this hotel. ”

"Time bomb?"

"Yes, but it doesn't matter. The criminals would not have done the stupid thing of letting 10 million yuan in bills fly into the sky with this hotel. Tian Chunda said. However, An Yi was a little relieved. Even if the explosive ordnance disposal team arrived, would they really be able to find out the time bomb that was installed in this huge high-rise building?
