Chapter 196 Friend’s Ransom

Chapter 196 Friends-Ransom

case five friends
Three ransoms
The grueling kidnapping case in Anhe District tugged at the string in Lin Yu's head that couldn't be relaxed at all.When he heard the characteristic information mentioned by Huang Xingjun, he was in a daze for a moment before realizing it. He was pulled away by Huang Xingjun, with disgust written all over his face. He raised his hand to brush away the unintentionally evil face of the strong man behind him, but his eyes were fixed on the projected image. In the image, the moment his arms were raised in the air, he tightened his eyebrows.

"...It is indeed the pair of shoes that Chen Qing was wearing when he got lost."

Lin Yu rubbed his stiff and sore eyebrows vigorously, and nodded and blinked at Gu Xing, who tilted his head and cast a confirming glance: "The clothes in the whole room of the child's house are almost in disarray, and there is no parent or nanny. We know what clothes he wore when he went out. When we checked the surveillance in the villa area, he was recognized by the temporary live-in nanny because of the conspicuous color. It is the only clothing feature that can provide an accurate description and photo."

"If you look at it this way, this photo is not so much taken carelessly as it is deliberately a bit dangerous -" Gu Xing, who rested his buttocks on the chair, finally lowered his legs that were so high up in the air. Stretching out his arms, he snapped his fingers in Jiang Mo's ears as he carefully read through the Chen Qing kidnapping case file. He noticed her thoughtful expression and frowned, "What are you thinking about? Running away?"

"Huh?...Hmm -" Jiang Mo unconsciously fiddled with the index finger on the edge of the page, twirling the edges of the scraps of paper she had torn out, and slowly found out that his resume was reviewed because his behavior in response to the kidnapping was very suspicious. He clicked twice on Chen Wuqing's photo and responded to Gu Xing's question in a low voice, uncertainly: "I was just thinking about what Team Lin mentioned just now... the common points between the two reports."

"Under the premise of confirming that the photo was actually taken, if it is the same group of kidnappers...it is obvious that the threat conditions they gave to the two families are different." Jiang Mo is not qualified to interrupt casually in emergency meetings. Ability, lowering his voice halfway through speaking, he saw from the corner of his eye that Gu Xing raised one hand to signal her to lower the volume, and then straightened up slightly, "First of all, it is very intuitive that the kidnapper proposed to Cao Yan's parents, who came from a relatively ordinary family. The ransom was quite high, but for Chen Qing, who was clearly from a well-off family, no clear blackmail conditions were ever put forward - which means that it is possible that the purpose of this group of people was not the ransom itself at all... but a disguised form. threats."

"Actually, we also suspected at first that Chen Qing's blackmail conditions might be related to the delay in calling the police."

Lin Yu sighed heavily and pulled away the chair next to him unbearably. His eyes signaled Huang Xingjun to let go of the arm pressing the back of his chair and move him to sit next to him: "...How should I put it, the Chen family's family relationship is somewhat different. Er Qi Pa - After realizing the delay in calling the police, our team first learned about the specific situation of their family. This Chen Qing is not Wang Yirong, the biological son of the serious Mrs. Chen in the household registration book, but an outsider. After the woman gave birth, she was 'sold' to Chen Wuqing in exchange for money. Although a paternity test was done, Chen Wuqing had from the very beginning assured his father-in-law and his family, who provided capital for his business, that the child was the product of a one-night romance. He has only maintained a very subtle harmony on the surface. To put it bluntly, if the neighbors hadn't noticed the abnormality first, and the temporary nanny couldn't fool him, whether Chen Qing would live or die would not mean much to Chen Wuqing... …Based on such an objective fact, we have put aside a series of speculations about delaying the alarm.”

"I was led away by the nose..." Gu Xing leaned his upper body on the edge of the conference table, looking down at the page Jiang Mo held with his thumb: "Then again - except for the kidnapped children who voluntarily left their guardians, Apart from the rift in sight and family relationships, what other similarities have you just figured out?"

"Anhe Middle School. I think I took a photo... Xiaomi, do me a favor - can you merge these two pictures together?" Jiang Mo took out his phone and flipped through it, holding the back of Xiaomi's chair with his fingertips pointing towards He raised his head and took a confirming look at the switching projection image: "There happens to be a photo of Cao Hua graduating from junior high school on the wall of Cao Yan's house. Referring to Chen Wuqing's resume, these two are classmates at Anhe Middle School. Graduates, but not in the same class - Huang group, Hu Xu’s phone number!"

Jiang Mo was mid-sentence, then he glanced at the flashing screen next to the power strip on the table, and quickly pulled off the charging cable of Huang Xingjun's mobile phone, which had an aging battery that had just been charged to less than [-]%.

"...Hello Hu Xu? What's wrong?"

The case was urgent. Huang Xingjun sat where he was without moving away. He nodded to Gu Xinglue and turned sideways. After receiving the affirmation, he controlled his volume less consciously.However, Hu Xu was probably behind someone's back. The voice on the phone was hoarse and suppressed. Huang Xingjun looked stern after hearing the report. He whispered, "Comfort yourself and wait for the news. Control it first." Then he turned around, holding the phone and biting it. He gritted his teeth, stared at Lin Yu and thought for two seconds, and then licked the few words in his mouth. "There is probably no need for us brothers to search for common points or connections. Just now, Hu Xu said that Cao Hua and Zhao Xiaohui were cooperating and separated them on the pretext of feeling uncomfortable. Cao Hua took the opportunity to sneak away Wang Haofang. I left my cell phone on the table and ran to the bathroom to call someone during a short break. I guess I couldn’t wait for us to provide a solution and wanted to borrow money to pay the ransom myself. But obviously the communication didn’t go well, and I yelled at the other person in the bathroom. He said that he even dropped Wang Hao’s unlucky phone.”

Lin Yu held the drink bottle and choked after taking half a sip: "Using Wang Hao's mobile phone to call to borrow money? What kind of trouble is this unnecessary?"

"Those two boys also felt something was wrong, and wanted me to help confirm the number. But it seems there is no need to check-"

Huang Xingjun glanced at the series of numbers in the text message, raised his chin and clicked on the contact number marked on the top of Chen Wuqing's resume on the projection screen: "For Cao Hua, that person obviously resisted contact with each other, but was arrested because of the ransom matter. He is the one who is forced to take the initiative to talk."

"...It seems that it is no longer possible to handle it simply as a kidnapping case."

Gu Xing waved his hand to disperse the silence in the conference room. He stood up, stretched out his arms and legs, and punched twice on his sore waist. "Jiang Mo, the kidnappers in the Cao Yan case offered to pay the ransom." time and place.”

"09:30 the day after tomorrow. Near the pedestrian tunnel from the Convention and Exhibition Center directly to Wanfeng Mall. The specific location will be announced later." Jiang Mo responded quickly, and then paused for half a second in embarrassment: "But... the Convention and Exhibition Center is hosting a large-scale event recently. During the cultural week, I confirmed the time with Lotte, and there seems to be a competition at 09:30 the day after tomorrow. This time... is almost the time when the audience is leaving and the shopping mall is preparing to clear out and close."

"I'm pretty good at picking places."

Gu Xing raised his arm to suppress Jiang Mo's tense and slightly shrugged shoulders. He turned around and looked deeply at the faces of Lin Yu and Huang Xingjun, who were jumping up and ready.

"Invite these two dads over for a chat. If you need additional technical support, please contact Milu Xiaoluo. I'm going to express my condolences to the little old man who entered the hospital. I need to have a good talk with him about the next thing."

 Due to work and physical reasons, I will update every other day~
