Chapter 423: The underwater ransom is nowhere to be found, and the hostages are dangerous and may tear up the ticket

Guan Jiayi was a little embarrassed by what Jiang Han said, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Hero, I continue to tell you about me, a few days ago, my lady took my little son out to play, and when she came back at night, she cried, saying that he patronized shopping and lost his son." ”

"My Guan family has been a single heirloom for three generations, I am counting on Xiao Mao to inherit the ancestor, he lost it and got it, he is only ten years old, which one killed a thousand knives and kidnapped him?"

"I hurriedly asked people to look for it, but nowhere could they find it? There was not even a single witness. ”

Jiang Han frowned and stared at Guan Jiayi, only to see that his eyes were red, not like he was talking nonsense, so he asked, "Then in this Xinghu Town, who has an enmity with you?"

Guan Jiayi shook his head embarrassedly: "I don't know, hero, you also know that we who open a gambling game will inevitably have more enemies, and it's not a way to find them one by one?"

Jiang Han snorted: "It's like Ma Hong, right?"

Guan Jiayi nodded awkwardly: "Yes, our kind of business will definitely offend many people,"

Jiang Han nodded: "Let's not talk about this now, when was your son abducted?"

Guan Jiayi thought for a while and replied: "It was the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday." ”

Jiang Han then asked, "Did you report to the official?"

Guan Jiayi nodded: "I reported to the official, but there is no clue at all, and the garrison has no choice." ”

Jiang Han then asked, "Then did anyone inform you to redeem the person?"

Guan Jiayi nodded again: "Yes, yes." ”

Jiang Han frowned and asked, "Tell me more." ”

Guan Jiayi took a sip of water and hurriedly said: "Last night, I was worried behind here, my lady was crying and I was upset, so I saw someone in front of me come to tell me, saying that someone threw in a small iron box from outside the wall, and my name was written on the box, and they didn't dare to open it casually, so they brought it to me." ”

I wondered, who would throw a box at me? The box was buckled, and I weighed it, and it was not heavy or big, and when I shook it, there was nothing in it, and I opened it, and there was a note in it. ”

Jiang Han hurriedly asked, "What note?"

Guan Jiayi continued: "It's a note from me asking for ransom, saying that I will fill this box with one hundred taels of silver within half an hour, and then throw it into the ice cave north of the pavilion in the center of Dayan Lake in the town, and I will never see Xiao Mao if I slow down." ”

"As soon as I saw that I didn't want much, I hurried to ask someone to prepare the money, and then I went with the box myself, and when I got there, I saw that there was really an ice hole, so I threw the box in the ice hole. ”

Jiang Han was stunned: "You will give money based on this note alone, you don't even confirm the authenticity of it, and don't confirm whether Xiao Mao is still alive?"

Guan Jiayi nodded: "What the hero said is yes, can I not confirm it? This note was written to me by Xiao Mao, can I still recognize my son's handwriting?" After speaking, Guan Jiayi took out a note and handed it to Jiang Han.

Jiang Han looked at the note, the words on the note were neatly written, but the font was childish, and it looked like it was indeed written by a child, so he nodded, returned the note to Guan Jiayi and said, "You go on." ”

Guan Jiayi continued: "After I threw the box down, I took people to hide around there, I just wanted to see who went there to get the ransom, I led someone to catch him, and then rescued Xiaomao." ”

Jiang Han nodded: "Did you catch someone?"

Guan Jiayi shook his head: "If I catch someone, do I still need to beg you?" I waited with someone all night, and I didn't even see a shadow. ”

Jiang Han was stunned: "That means that the person hasn't gone to get the ransom yet, and you continue to let people ambush you." ”

Guan Jiayi shook his head: "Don't wait, the money is gone." ”

Jiang Han's eyes widened: "The money is gone, why is it gone?"

Guan Jiayi shook his head: "I don't know, at dawn, I saw that no one came all night, so I felt that something was wrong, so I let people see if the money was still in the water." ”

"This lake is not deep, so I asked people to find a long bamboo pole to poke it, but after stabbing it for a long time, there is no box under the water!"

Jiang Han hurriedly asked, "Could it be that it was washed away by the water?"

Guan Jiayi shook his head: "This Dayan Lake is a pool of stagnant water, and it won't flow at all, and it's an iron box with silver, which is quite heavy, similar to a stone, and it can't be washed away." ”

Jiang Han smacked his lips: "It seems that someone took the silver away!"

Guan Jiayi nodded: "I think so too, but if he takes the money, he should also let Xiaomao come back?"

Jiang Han shook his head: "It's okay if he doesn't get the money, Xiao Mao will be fine, I'm afraid he will take the money, Xiao Mao will be really dangerous, depending on the situation, he is very familiar with your situation, it should be someone from the town, how can he let Xiao Mao come back and tell who he is?"

Guan Jiayi nodded: "Yes, I saw that Xiao Mao hadn't come back yet, so I was in a hurry to find the garrison, what the garrison said was exactly the same as you, and said let me go home and prepare for the future!"

When he cried, Jiang Han, who was crying, was upset, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't cry first, it's not so bad now, so how did you think of looking for me?"

Guan Jiayi wiped his tears and let out two breaths, and then said: "When I came back from the garrison, I happened to meet Ma Hong's street tour, and I happened to have a distant cousin who was a soldier there, so I asked him what was going on, and he told me in detail, saying that there was a mysterious person who had a good eye and found that Ma Hong had killed his wife, so he set up a trap for Ma Hong, forcing Ma Hong to recruit everything, and the confession was written, and he was waiting to be dragged to the city to punish the crime." ”

"As soon as I heard it, I thought that Ma Kui told me about this, saying that there was a young man yesterday, who was generous, and invited Ma Hong to play, and finally followed Ma Hong away, I think this young man should be the one who set Ma Hong, I didn't expect you to come again today, Ma Kui just recognized you. ”

"I thought about it, since you have the ability to find out that Ma Hong killed his wife, then there must be a way to help me find Xiaomao, so I dared to invite the hero to come over and ask the hero to help me. ”

After speaking, Guan Jiayi stared at Jiang Han, and saw that Jiang Han lowered his head and didn't speak, so he hurriedly said: "As long as the hero helps me find Xiaomao, it can cost as much as I want, even if I go bankrupt, I will not complain." ”

Jiang Han waved his hand: "Go and prepare a hundred taels of silver, no matter whether the thing is successful or not, I will take this money away, this one hundred taels I deliberately lost in order to lure Ma Hong into the bait, you have to give it to me." ”
