Book of Sins 4

Chapter 37
Kidnapping is a high-IQ crime. Most kidnapping cases are carefully planned before they are carried out. The police need to fight wits and courage with criminals. In addition to using high-tech criminal investigation equipment, they also need to invest a lot of police force to round up and attack.

The process of a kidnapping case is generally as follows:
[-]. Select the target, usually the rich or the children of the rich.

[-]. Hiding hostages, most of the locations are remote suburbs, wild places or abandoned houses.

[-]. Contact family members, make demands, and extort money.In the past, communication was relatively undeveloped, and extortion was usually carried out in the form of letters. In order to avoid being recognized, some criminals would use words from newspapers to piece together letters. In modern kidnapping cases, family members are usually notified by phone.

Fourth, collecting ransom, which is the most vulnerable link in the entire kidnapping process.If family members call the police, or ask relatives and friends for help, they may reveal their whereabouts when collecting the ransom. This link most tests the IQ of criminals.

[-]. Release or kill hostages.

Professor Liang made careful arrangements on the balcony of Su Mei's house, Director Ye bowed his head to listen to the order, and the little policewoman Ah Zi recorded the key points of work.According to Professor Liang's request, Pujiang City Public Security Bureau and Chibei District Bureau dispatched elite soldiers and generals, and divided them into three working groups.

Bao Zhan is in charge of the investigation team, and conducts peripheral work around the two victims—Wang Jia and Xiaoxi—and focuses on investigating the family and social relations of the two victims. Many kidnapping cases are committed by acquaintances, and this needs to be investigated clearly. .

Hualong commanded the tracking team. The command vehicle was a camouflaged van with a tattered appearance and the words "dairy products" printed on the compartment. It was parked in a hidden place near Xiaoxi's home. A team of experienced investigators and armed police Sitting in the car and always on call.In addition, it is equipped with bicycles and motorcycles for flexible tracking. There is also a small dressing room on the car. Investigators can disguise themselves as food delivery people, cycling enthusiasts, hawkers and other identities to conduct investigations at any time.

Su Mei and A Zi were in charge of monitoring technical support. The kidnapper contacted the victim's family by phone. Su Mei's job was to monitor and record, and locate the kidnapper's activity area and the approximate hiding place of the hostages at the first time. It plays a key role in arresting criminals and successfully rescuing hostages.

Xiaoxi's parents are in business. After their daughter was kidnapped, they were very worried. They processed a batch of goods according to the kidnapper's request and raised 50 yuan. They only hoped that their daughter would be safe, and they didn't care whether they could catch the kidnapper.

Professor Liang said that only by catching the kidnappers can Xiaoxi be rescued, and don't expect the criminals to have any kindness.

Xiaoxi's mother said: I am so anxious, the child doesn't know what to do now.

Professor Liang said: If the kidnapper calls, you must listen to Xiaoxi's voice to confirm whether the child is alive.

Xiaoxi's father said: "To take out 50 yuan within three days, today is the last day, the money is ready, why haven't you called yet?"

Professor Liang said: There are still more than 20 hours, just wait patiently, the police will go all out to catch the kidnappers and rescue Xiaoxi.

Su Mei installed monitoring software on Xiaoxi's parents' mobile phones, and used a computer to control the terminals, keeping them turned on 24 hours a day. If the kidnappers call, try to delay as much as possible so that the police can prepare.

Su Mei said: This is the most powerful mobile phone monitoring software in the world.

Bao Zhan asked: Why do you say that.

Su Mei said, because this software was developed and produced by me.

Hualong said: "Blow it, how powerful is it?"
Su Mei said: In addition to the monitoring function, it also has the function of geolocation. More importantly, even if the mobile phone is in standby mode, the surrounding environmental sound can still be heard. We can find the hiding place of the kidnapper through sound analysis.

Bao Zhan said: The kidnappers must have thought of this, and they must have a better way.

Bao Zhan visited and investigated the families and schools of the two victims. The murder of Wang Jia shocked all the teachers and students in the school. This little boy was in the sixth grade with average grades, but he was lively and cute, and was loved by teachers and classmates.In his schoolbag are red scarves, yo-yos, and round playing cards that children often play.People can't believe that such a cute little boy was kidnapped and killed, and then crushed into a meatloaf on the road,
The school established a school guard team, and it is said that after school, Wang Jia was put on a sack over his head, carried into a car and taken away.Wang Jia's father was a bus driver, and his mother had a street stall in the night market. The family didn't have much money. It was probably because of this that the kidnappers decisively killed little Wang Jia and dumped his body on the road.

Bao Zhan ruled out the possibility of acquaintances committing crimes, just as Wang Jia's parents said: My family has no money, life is so difficult, the house loan has not been repaid, and all relatives and neighbors know, what's the use of kidnapping my child?

The Forensic Forensic Center of Pujiang Public Security Bureau performed another autopsy on the deceased Wang Jia.Because the body has been run over by vehicles many times, it is very difficult to find clues left by the murderer.It is conceivable how much external force a child has been subjected to when it becomes a cake.During the second autopsy, the forensic doctor made new discoveries. There were some jute fibers in Wang Jia's hair and neckline, which seemed to confirm the rumor circulated in the school that Wang Jia had been covered with a sack.

Bao Zhan ordered the school to hold a school-wide mobilization meeting to encourage the children to tell what they saw, but no witnesses were found.

The special case team concealed the information about Xiaoxi's kidnapping, so as to paralyze the kidnappers and strive for more favorable conditions for detection.

Xiaoxi is a girl with big eyes in her first year of junior high school. She has long hair and bangs. She likes to watch Chibi Maruko-chan. She is super obsessed with TVXQ, and she likes Yunho the most.When Xiaoxi was kidnapped, she was wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack. After school in the afternoon, she told her classmates that she went to buy milk tea, but she never returned.

Bao Zhan made a reasoning analysis:
The kidnappers have a car, use deception and coercion to kidnap, and the number of kidnappers is two or more.The kidnappers were timid and cautious, and one of them might be a woman. They were unwilling or afraid to confront the police head-on.After the kidnapping, conduct a secret observation first. Once they know that the family members call the police, they will resolutely give up.The targets they choose are all older children over the age of ten. Parents and schools generally relax supervision of children in this age group, and children can tell home addresses and family phone numbers.The kidnappers bought multiple phone cards in advance, each card was only used once and then discarded, and the location of the call was changed many times, which has the ability of anti-reconnaissance.

The special case team set up a net, just waiting for the kidnapper to call.

This case is full of suspense. The special case team can't guess where the kidnappers will let the family members put the money, and how to get the ransom.

The author of this article has studied a large number of kidnapping cases and found that there are various ways to collect ransom. Some kidnappers ask to remit the money to a designated bank account. This is the most stupid method, because domestic ATM machines have a withdrawal limit, and only With the ability to withdraw 2 yuan, no kidnapper dared to go to the counter to withdraw money, waiting for the police to catch him.Even if you withdraw money at the bank counter, there is only a daily limit of 5 yuan.Other more clever ways to get ransom, such as throwing money in trains, sneaking out of sewers to get money, and taking money in places with heavy traffic, all test the police's ability to respond.Most of the kidnapping cases are solved because the kidnappers are too stupid, not because the police are too smart.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the kidnapper finally called. Xiaoxi's parents were worried about their daughter and hadn't slept well for several days. They saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and immediately connected. Su Mei, who was in charge of monitoring the phone, immediately activated the emergency plan , to record and analyze the geographical location of incoming calls.

The following is the conversation between the kidnapper and Xiaoxi's parents——

Xiaoxi's father: Hey, hey, who are you, who are you looking for?
The other party was silent for five seconds, and a gloomy nasal voice said: Have you prepared all the money?
Xiaoxi's father: Okay, it's done, 50 yuan, not a lot.

The kidnapper said: Give me the money tomorrow, and I will release him.

Xiaoxi's mother answered the phone and said: "Can you guarantee that my daughter is fine? I will give you money only when she is fine. 50 is not a small amount. The family sold a batch of goods at a low price. Anyway, let me hear Xiaoxi's voice." , Aren't you just looking for money, don't mess around, let me listen to the child...

The kidnapper said: Don't worry, your child has a cold. I gave her some medicine and fell asleep.

Xiaoxi's mother said: Tell me, my daughter has provoked someone, you didn't hit her, you wake up Xiaoxi, let me listen, I will say a few words to her, let her not be afraid...

The kidnapper interrupted and said: You don't want your child's life, this is not good for the child, your family called the police, right?
Xiaoxi's father snatched the phone and said: I didn't call the police, absolutely not, I know what to do about some things.The mother of the child is eager to hear the voice of the child, you have to understand.

The kidnapper said: I will let you know that the child is fine, listen to me first.

Xiaoxi's father said: "Okay, okay, listen to you, you say."

The kidnapper said: Tomorrow, at two o'clock in the afternoon, you just drive a car, bring money, and wait at the Industrial and Commercial Bank on Jianshe Road.You have to do as I said, you can only come alone, bring money, mobile phone, you and your wife's mobile phone, and some change.

Xiaoxi's father said: At two o'clock in the afternoon, at the gate of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, right, please, please, please don't treat my daughter...

The kidnapper said: Just look at the blood on your fingers.

Xiaoxi's father said: What?
The kidnapper said: Your child is fine. If you dare to call the police and play tricks, this will not be what you see next time.

Xiaoxi's father said: I don't understand what you mean?
The kidnapper said: Repeat again, tomorrow at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Jianshe Road Industrial and Commercial Bank, you drive here and bring money, I will send you something.

Xiaoxi's father said: something, what, where is it?
The kidnapper said: Open the door and you will see it.

The phone was hung up, and Xiaoxi's parents went to open the door, but there was no one outside. There was a plastic pencil case on the ground, and when the box was opened, Xiaoxi's parents screamed at the same time... This pencil case belongs to Xiaoxi, and there is no The pen, with only two bloody fingernails on it.
