Detective from the future

Chapter 172

"It's my wife's phone, can I answer the phone?" Li Weidong said.

"Yes, I have been authorized by the communication company to identify the base station network service area where the user is based on the global identification code of the user's mobile phone." Yan Lidong from the technical team explained.

Zeng Ping nodded: "Go ahead."

Li Weidong took a deep breath and pressed the answer button: "Hello, I'm Li Weidong."

"Is the money ready?" A man's voice came from the phone.

"Ready, where is my wife, I want to talk to her." Li Weidong responded quickly.

"Don't worry, your wife is very nice, as long as you pay the money, I will let your wife go." The kidnapper said.

Zeng Ping took out a pen and paper and wrote a few words: "It must be confirmed that the kidnapped person is still alive."

When Li Weidong saw the words on the paper, his tone was firm: "I want to listen to my wife."

There was a burst of yelling from the other end of the phone: "Say a few words, let your husband listen, and don't say what you shouldn't, otherwise, I will kill you first if I don't want money."

Not long after, a woman's cry for help came: "Husband, hurry up and save me, please, I don't want to die..."

Before he finished speaking, the voice stopped abruptly.

"Don't hurt my wife, I have all the money ready and I can give it to you at any time." Li Weidong shouted into the phone.

"At five o'clock this afternoon, put the money into a black backpack, tie a blue ribbon on it, and put it on the bus from Qindao to Simen County at 5:20," said the kidnapper.

"Then where can I find my wife?"

"I will notify you when the time comes." After the kidnapper finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Zeng Ping turned his head and asked Yan Lidong beside him, "Have you found it?"

"where?"

"The mobile phone signal is sent from near Xiangyun Bus Station." Yan Lidong said.

"The traffic at the bus station is too high, and it may be difficult to find the suspect," Han Bin said.

"Let's find a way to collect the ransom first," Zeng Ping said.

"Officer Zeng, I really can't get the money out. Can the police help me raise some money?" Li Weidong said.

"How much money is left?"

Li Weidong did some calculations, and said, "I made up 12 myself, and I'm still short of [-]."

"[-] is not a small amount. I can't make the decision on this matter. The country has no relevant regulations. There is no such precedent before." Zeng Ping said.

"Emergency does not help the poor. Now that you are in an emergency, you can borrow it from relatives and friends around you, and return it to them in the future." Li Hui said.

"I, I... I'm so embarrassed." Li Weidong said, covering his cheeks with his hands.

"Li Weidong, do you have any rich friends around you?" Zhao Ming asked.

"Yes, but 8 yuan is not a small amount of money, and people may not be willing to lend it to me." Li Weidong said helplessly.

"This house is yours."

"Yes."

"Mortgage the house to others, give them more interest, and then redeem the house when you have money, isn't that all right?" Zhao Ming shook his head, feeling that Li Weidong was a little impatient.

"This house is worth more than 100 million yuan. I don't feel at ease just to bet on the house for 8 yuan." Li Weidong was a little confused.

"Don't you have a car? Let the car be pledged to others."

"I bought that car for a few years, and it's not worth 8 yuan now." Li Weidong spread his hands.

"Well, if you want to say that, I can't do anything." Zhao Ming shook his head and smiled wryly. He couldn't bet on worthless things, and refused to bet on valuable ones. This person had too many thoughts.

However, if it fits his personality, if he is not too thoughtful and not decisive enough, he will not wait until the next day to call the police.

Li Hui frowned, and said bluntly: "I see, you still don't want to save your wife."

"I want to save, I really want to save, can this work, I will deposit the house book to the police, and when I get the money back, I will redeem the house book from the police." Li Weidong suggested.

"Li Weidong, you can't talk nonsense. If we really want to do that, we won't be sprayed to death by netizens. We are here to save your lover, so don't hurt us." Li Hui warned.

"No, that's not what I meant." Li Weidong waved his hand, as if he wanted to explain.

"Li Weidong, the police are here to save people. The robbers have already given the address for paying the ransom, and we have to rush there to arrest them. You are sure to let the police waste their energy on the issue of ransom," Han Bin said.

Zeng Ping frowned, and was also a little unhappy: "Li Weidong, if your family's conditions are really difficult, our police will find a way to help you, but your family has a house and a car, which obviously does not belong to this situation."

"Okay, I understand. I'm going to mortgage the house and borrow money from my friends." Li Weidong finally made up his mind and went to the house to find the house.

Li Weidong was so tossing, everyone present was a little depressed.

"This whole thing is really frustrating." Zhao Ming shrugged his shoulders and expressed the thoughts of most people present.

"Clap clap."

Zeng Ping slapped his hands and encouraged everyone: "Don't forget the police's duty, Gao Xiaoyun is still waiting for us to rescue him."

"What Team Zeng said is that what Gao Xiaoyun can rely on now is our police." Li Huiyi pointed out.

"The situation at Xiangyun Bus Station is more complicated. We have to go to the scene in advance to monitor it. It is best to ask the local police station for assistance." Han Bin said.

Zeng Ping got up and called Zheng Kaixuan.

After a while, Zeng Ping hung up the phone: "Team Zheng told us to go there first, and he will communicate with the local police station."

……

Half an hour later, Han Bin and his team arrived at Xiangyun Bus Station.

The traffic flow near the bus station is surging, and the station is even more crowded. It is not easy to find the trace of the suspect.

Moreover, the suspect in the surveillance was wearing a hood, and the light at night was not good, making it almost difficult to identify.

News also came from Tian Li's side. After searching through Skynet surveillance, they found the van that kidnapped Gao Xiaoyun. The license plate number was also found, but it was just a fake car.

Tracked by Skynet, the van left the city and disappeared on Taihang Street.

Taihang Street is a newly built road. Although the road has basically been repaired, the monitoring has not yet been put into use, and it is difficult to trace the traces of the van.

The clue of the van was temporarily missing, and the only direction of investigation was the line of paying the ransom.

There is a bus from Qindao City to Simen County every hour and 5 minutes, and a bus departs from Qindao at 10:[-].

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Weidong arrived at the bus station with money and bought a ticket in advance.

Zheng Kaixuan also rushed to the bus station, along with Fang Jinpeng, the police chief of the local police station, and four policemen from the local police station.

In an office at the station, Zheng Kaixuan called everyone together to discuss the specific control plan.

Time was running out, so Zheng Kaixuan went straight to the point and said, "I just asked the person in charge at the station. The bus at 5:20 hasn't arrived at the station yet. We still have enough time to conduct surveillance."

"Captain Zheng, how do you want to conduct surveillance? Do you want to arrest the suspects on the spot, or follow them long-term and take the opportunity to find the place where the hostages are being held?" Fang Jinpeng asked.

Zheng Kaixuan did not answer directly: "Old Zeng, what do you think?"

"I think we should first figure out why the suspect chose this method of paying the ransom, and how he will get the ransom," Zeng Ping said.

"Is it possible that the suspect is also in this car, and when the car arrives at the stop or halfway through the drive, he takes the money and takes the opportunity to escape, so that we can't track him down." Han Bin guessed.

"If we really escaped halfway, it's really hard for us to track them down." Zhao Ming said.

"If you want me to say, let's buy two more tickets and get on the bus as well, so that we can monitor the bag. Anyone who touches the bag may be a suspect. Let's arrest him directly." Li Hui suggested.

"With such a simple method, the suspect would not have thought of it?" Han Bin asked.

"Then what good idea do you have?" Li Hui asked back.

"It's about an hour's drive from Qindao to Simen County. During this period, passengers will get on and off the bus continuously. Accidents may happen in this hour, and there are too many variables." Han Bin analyzed.

"We must also consider the safety of the suspect. If the person who took the ransom is arrested but the place where the hostage is held cannot be found in time, it may threaten the safety of the hostage. Once the hostage is torn apart by the kidnappers, all previous efforts will be for naught. .” Zheng Kaixuan said.

"The person who took the ransom will definitely contact the other kidnappers after getting the ransom. If they don't contact each other within the agreed time, the other kidnappers will know that something happened, and the next step is likely to tear up the ticket." Han Bin clicked. A cigarette, took a puff and continued:
"The best time to arrest should be after the ransom taker contacts his accomplices, there will be a relatively safe period of time, as long as the suspect's mouth can be pried open during this period, the other kidnappers can be arrested in time while the other kidnappers are not suspicious. The hostages were rescued."

"Although this idea is good, it is difficult to implement. Once the suspect's mouth cannot be pried open in time, the other kidnappers will become suspicious, and the hostage's life will be in danger," Zeng Ping said.

"Why don't we extend the line a bit longer, and then arrest the kidnappers after they get the ransom and release the hostages safely," Fang Jinpeng said.

Zheng Kaixuan shook his head: "No one can guarantee that the kidnapper will release the kidnapper after collecting the money. Sometimes, the ransom will become a reminder for the hostage."
