Chapter 6 Reasoning Notes 1:12 Tsundere Detective (6)
We decided to go to the hospital over there first.The hospital is not far ahead, about 10 minutes away.Just as we were leaving, Qiao Qi's phone rang suddenly, and she answered it.At the same time, I saw Xia Zaoan returning excitedly.

"There's no stop sign over there for the bus you mentioned!" She glared at me angrily.

Instead, I smiled and pointed to the bus stop sign on the other side: "I'm talking about that side!"

"Then you didn't tell me sooner!"

Xia Zao'an obviously realized that I deliberately didn't stop her just now, causing her to go in the wrong direction.She looked at me with resentful eyes, and suddenly stretched out her foot and stepped on my instep hard.I immediately screamed in pain, you know, she was wearing high heels.

"Hey! You..." I was in so much pain that I couldn't swear, but she pretended to smile innocently and apologized: "I'm sorry! I was careless! I didn't see your pig's feet!"

I gritted my teeth and stared at her.If she is not a girl, I will definitely fight her hard.

"Hey," Xia Zao'an suddenly noticed that Qiao Qi's face was livid, and asked aloud, "What's wrong with you?"

Qiao Qi was shaking slightly while holding the phone.Her face was extremely pale, as if frightened.Her breathing became more and more rapid, so that the sound of panting became louder and louder, and her hands tightly grasped the red neck, as if she was about to suffocate.

Xia Zao'an quickly supported her.

I yelled to Zaoan, "Get the spray out of her pocket, she's having another asthma attack."

"Where's the aerosol...? No... God, what to do..."

Xia Zao'an, who was in a hurry with fright, finally took out the spray, and sprayed vigorously on Qiao Qi's wide-open mouth a few times.

"Hey, don't die!" She shook Qiao Qi, whose eyes were half-closed, almost crying out of anxiety.

I tiptoed and jumped in front of them.Damn Good Morning Xia, probably swollen my toes!I picked up Qiao Qi's cell phone that had slipped to the ground to check.Who was she talking to just now?Maybe it was the words of the other party that stimulated her, which made her asthma attack.

However, the phone call has ended.

When Qiao Qi recovered, she was still in shock. The violent chest heaving finally calmed down, but she still looked very tired, and her voice was so weak.She seemed to be afraid of something, and looked around in fear, as if someone was watching us somewhere.

"What's the matter? Maybe we can help."

"No...I..." She hesitated to speak.

"Is it... related to Qiu Ziming?"

I state my guess.Sure enough, Qiao Qi immediately stared at me with wide eyes, without saying a word.

I hit it off?I'm just talking casually.Then my nerves tensed.

"What happened to Qiu Ziming?"

Qiao Qi nodded hesitantly.From the expression on her face, it can be seen how complicated and disturbed she is at the moment.She knew she shouldn't speak out about it, but she couldn't deal with such a terrible situation alone.We are the only people she can turn to right now.

Because Qiu Ziming was kidnapped!
The call just now was from the kidnappers.

"Could it be a joke?" I doubt it.

I can't figure it out, why did the kidnappers kidnap Qiu Ziming?His family was not well off enough to make him a target for kidnapping and ransom.Did the kidnappers get it wrong?Maybe the person the kidnappers really want to kidnap is from the same school as us, and that student will also show up at Xiaobei Station today.However, the kidnappers mistakenly thought that Qiu Ziming, who was wearing the same school shirt, was that student.

At this time, I figured out one thing.

The man carrying Qiu Ziming is the kidnapper.No wonder the subway employees saw people wearing caps, sunglasses and masks.In this way, no one will know his true face, even if the subway has surveillance video, it will not help.

That guy was sitting on the same bench as me just now!I felt cold sweat all over my body, took out the notepad with trembling fingers, and began to ask Qiao Qi about the phone call just now.

Xia Zaoan squatted next to me, as if she was very interested in my notepad.She probably forgot to take a ride to Huanghuagang Park long ago.I didn't know at the time that it was she who solved the matter... No, I can't say it was her.She's even weirder than I imagined.

According to Qiao Qi's testimony, the kidnapper said very little, only four sentences.

"Your boyfriend is in my hands."

"If you want him to live, you must do what we say."

"You can't call the police, or you will bear the consequences."

"Now, go in the direction of Xiaobei Street."

The other party's voice sounded weird.I guess the kidnappers should have used a voice changer.

"What should I do now?" Qiao Qi looked at me in a daze and asked.

Her mood seemed to have stabilized slightly, and her breathing was less rapid.

I said, "I can only do what he said, let's go to Xiaobei Street."

When I stood up, I found that my injured right foot did not hurt so much.

"You can just take the No. 236 bus over there." I pointed to the bus stop over there, turned my head and said to Xia Zaoan.

But she shook her head: "No, I'll go with you too. The kidnapping case is so interesting!"

"This is no fun!"

I'm a little upset.Xia Zaoan realized her slip of the tongue, blushed immediately, and apologized embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"You can follow if you want, but I'm not responsible for what happens."

I spoke with a warning, but Xia Zaoan smiled.

"Of course, of course."

This guy... I looked at her playful smile, and more than half of the previous anger in my chest disappeared.

The three of us followed the kidnapper's instructions and walked slowly along Xiaobei Street.This street is located in a busy area, and today is Sunday, and there are more people traveling than imagined.

Among all kinds of passers-by, we three high school students seemed inconspicuous. I am afraid that no one would have thought that we were facing an unimaginable predicament at this moment.I deliberately let everyone walk slowly, and quietly observed the people on the street from the corner of my eye.

Most likely, the kidnappers are watching us.

Today's temperature is at least [-] degrees, and the scorching sun curses the whole city.In such hot weather, a terrible thing has just fermented.

As I walked, thinking about this kidnapping case, I felt surprisingly excited, even a little bit excited.After all, this is the first real case I have encountered, and it cannot be compared with the trivial matter of sesame mung beans I encountered in school before.

Suddenly, a cell phone ringing interrupted my thoughts.

The kidnappers are calling again.

Qiao Qi picked up the phone, while Xia Zao'an and I nervously approached.Unexpectedly, the first sentence from the mobile phone made our hair stand on end.

"Who are those two people beside you? How dare you tell others!"

So that guy must be nearby, with eyes watching us!

"No...no...I don't have...they..."

Qiao Qi held the phone in a panic, and her breathing became short of breath again.I think the kidnappers really misunderstood the target, no matter how stupid they are, they would never find a girl like Qiao Qi who suffers from asthma attacks to work for them.

I took the mobile phone: "Hey, I'm Qiao Qi's classmate. Mr. Kidnapper, I think you made a ridiculous mistake. The boy you kidnapped is Qiu Ziming, not from a rich family. His family is poor, and A younger sister is seriously ill and won't have the money to pay the ransom, so a sensible person will let him go, lest you waste your time."

The other party was just silent.

Will my sudden answer irritate him?He may be confused about the veracity of what I said.The only way to verify is to identify Qiu Ziming's true identity again.Hmm... At this time, he should have realized that he had arrested the wrong person.

I also dare not speak.The phone was still on the phone, and the heavy silence gradually weighed on my heart.Even in the noisy street, I can hear my own tense breathing, while the other person's breathing is calm, like a dead person.

After more than ten seconds, the kidnapper laughed "hehe".That sinister laugh sent chills down my spine and stiffened my neck.

"You should be the one who made the mistake, right? Qiu Ziming is the one I want to kidnap."

"What?" I was stunned for a moment, and my previous deduction was completely overturned by the other party.My mind is blank at the moment.

"But...but, why did you kidnap him..."

Before I finished speaking, Fang Fang interrupted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense! Remember, all you have to do is follow my instructions. If you want to make any bad ideas, just wait to collect Qiu Ziming's body!" "

He repeated the warning: "Don't call the police! You know, I'm watching you all the time."

I held the phone in my hand and looked around in fear.

Where is that watcher?
"Don't look around!" The warning from the mobile phone scared me away from looking around.

This is both a warning and proof.It proves that we are indeed being watched, and that every move we make cannot escape his eyes.

"Now, go to a cafe called Black Tea House in front."

After saying this, he hung up.

I put down my phone in a cold sweat and told Qiao Qi and Xia Zao what I had just said. Then, looking ahead, I saw a cafe 20 meters ahead, and from here I could see a waitress walking through the window go.The name of the cafe is Black Tea House.

Seeing us push the door in, the waitress I saw just now came over.She was a young woman in her twenties, wearing the yellow uniform of a coffee shop.She smiled politely at us, her eyes narrowed into two beautiful crescent moons.

"Excuse me, are there three?"

"Ah."

"This way please...oh, wait a minute," the waitress seemed to suddenly think of something, stared at Qiao Qi for a while, and asked uncertainly, "Excuse me, are you Qiao Qi's classmate?"
