The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 261 More troublesome than the kidnapper (st update)

Yao Shaoyin was slightly stunned, "Shocked?"

"Correct."

Xu Jing put her finger back into the box and said, "Since the kidnapper is someone close to Xu Sanniang, he must know that the Wang family and the Xu family have already reported to the police.

For a kidnapper, the most dangerous thing is when trading ransom. Even if we don't dare to do anything to him openly because we are worried about the danger of the hostages, we will definitely take the opportunity of trading ransom to follow him and find him. 's hiding place.

How to prevent yourself from being followed is a question that worries most kidnappers. "

Yao Shaoyin immediately understood, "The kidnappers sent this finger to give us a deterrent, so that we don't dare to make too many small moves! This is to prepare for the ransom transaction!"

"Yes, and judging from the results, the kidnapper's plan was very successful."

Xu Jing glanced at the miserable Xu Guangyi.

Yao Shaoyin frowned and said: "Then we must be more careful in our work. The letter said that the ransom will be paid the day after tomorrow. Before the day after tomorrow, we must make good deployment of personnel..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Guangyi suddenly stood up and walked out quickly without saying a word.

Xu Jing looked deeply at his retreating figure, and Yao Shaoyin was a little stunned. It took him a while to react, "Xu Shangshu is probably anxious and needs to prepare the ransom quickly. After all, a ransom of 10,000 taels is not that easy to prepare." .”

Xu Jing declined to comment and said, "We are halfway through asking Mrs. Wen just now. Let's go back and finish asking that question."

However, to their surprise, when they went there, Mrs. Wen didn't even want to see them.

Bishui, the maid next to Wen's side, said with an ugly face: "Our lady knew that the kidnapper sent...sent such a thing. She was so frightened that she almost fainted. Now she is still frightened and cannot accept your inquiry. Everyone Please come back!"

Yao Shaoyin said patiently: "It is precisely because the kidnapper is so cruel that we have to confirm his identity as soon as possible. This is also for Wang Xiaolangjun. Please go back and talk to Mrs. Wen again..."

"I told you, madam, I won't see you!"

Bishui suddenly turned to Xu Jing and said sternly: "Mrs. Xu, although you are no longer a member of the Xu family, my wife has been your mother for so many years. Don't you feel sorry for her at all?! My wife is now exhausted mentally and physically, and can't even say a word." Difficult, you still insist on questioning Madam!

Besides, what's the point of asking those questions? Can you rescue our young man? ! Even if you determine who the kidnapper is, it won't change the fact that Xiao Langjun is in his hands! Could it be that knowing his identity, he would take the initiative to let Xiao Langjun go? Will this anger him even more and put our little husband in a more dangerous situation? !

Even a maid like me, who knows nothing about investigating crimes, knows that in a kidnapping case, how to safely rescue the hostages is the most important thing! Instead of having time to get entangled here, you should think of a way to rescue Xiao Langjun safely! "

Even Yao Shaoyin, who had a relatively good temper, couldn't stand it anymore. He took a deep breath and said, "You don't know the purpose of asking those questions. How do you know that it's useless for us to ask those questions? You..."

Seeing that Yao Shaoyin still wanted to go on, Xu Jing stretched out her hand and pulled his sleeve, and said quietly: "Forget it, it seems that Mrs. Wen has made up her mind not to see us. Let's start somewhere else."

Yao Shaoyin looked at Xu Jing with some surprise.

Madam Xu is not someone who would give up so easily.

Could it be that because the other party was from the Xu family, Madam Xu was still affected?

However, these words could not be said in front of Bishui and the others. Yao Shaoyin could only shut up and left with Xu Jing.

As soon as he left Wen's yard, he couldn't help but said: "Mrs. Xu, now only Mrs. Wen can tell us the reason why Mrs. Wen calls Manager Yang every month. The other servants obviously know but dare not tell. We always We can’t really send people to Bianzhou to check whether Manager Yang has really returned to Bianzhou?”

By the time their people came back from the investigation, the day lilies were already cold.

Since Tao Niang and Zhang Huwei's hometown is not far from Xijing, he has already sent people to investigate quickly. “But she doesn’t want to see us, what can we do?”

Xu Jing said calmly, and when Yao Shaoyin was about to say something else, he added: "Besides, her attitude is too strange."

Yao Shaoyin was slightly stunned.

Seeing Yao Shaoyin looking at her with some confusion, Xu Jing said: "If you were a family member of the victim, how would you feel after the kidnapper gave you a finger?"

Yao Shaoyin immediately said: "I must be extremely anxious and want to find him immediately. Even if that finger does not belong to my child, who knows whether the kidnapper will cut my child with his next knife..."

As he spoke, he was slightly startled and suddenly realized something.

At this time, Xiao Yi, who was standing next to Xu Jing, said quietly: "In this kind of kidnapping case, the family members are often more troublesome to the government than the kidnappers. The people the kidnappers contact and ask for ransom must be the victim's family, so the victim's family We have more access to kidnappers than we do, and if we want to solve the case, we need the families of the victims to fully trust us and cooperate with us.

Once the victim's family is unwilling to cooperate, we will be in a very passive position. "

"What Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xiao mean is that Mrs. Wen deliberately refuses to cooperate with us?"

Yao Shaoyin took a breath and suddenly connected some doubtful points that he had ignored, "No, not only Mrs. Wen, it should be said that Xu Shangshu's attitude is also very strange."

After Xu Guangyi saw the finger, he did not keep asking them to solve the case as soon as possible as before, but walked out without saying a word.

This is so different from the previous Xu Guangyi!

Xu Jing sighed secretly and said: "I'm afraid the deterrent effect of that finger is far greater than we thought. If the kidnappers secretly contacted the Wang family and the Xu family, but the Wang family and the Xu family did not tell us, There’s nothing we can do.”

After all, Yao Shaoyin had been in the Xijing government office for several years. It was not like he had never encountered this kind of thing before, so he couldn't help but remain silent.

After a while, he said: "Then we can't do anything?"

"You can only do what you can do first."

Xu Jing said quietly: "There are many cases where the victims' families want to leave the government behind and make deals with the kidnappers privately, but very few succeed. Ordinary people don't know about this kind of thing, but Yao Shaoyin always knows it.

When they hit the south wall, they will come back to us for help. "

Yao Shaoyin: "..."

Although this was indeed the case, Madam Xu spoke too calmly.

Xu Jing paused and added very hypocritically, "Of course, I also hope that they can succeed in the rare transaction. Let's go, since Mrs. Wen doesn't want to see us, let's ask the other servants of the Xu family. Are there any clues?"

During their questioning, the government official who went to Guixiangyuan to verify the case came back and said that what Manager Dou said was true and he probably didn't have time to commit the crime.

Moreover, they asked many servants of the Xu family, and they all said that although Guanshi Dou's hands and feet were not clean on weekdays, he was smooth-tongued and timid. Most importantly, he did not have a bright mind and did not seem to be able to do such a thing. people.

Suddenly, Yao Shaoyin walked up to Xu Jing and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Xu, I just asked you something."

As he spoke, he looked around with a strange expression and whispered: "It's not easy to talk about this in public. Let's find a private place and I'll talk to you again."
