Detective from the future

Chapter 176 The Ma Brothers
"Comrade police, you have misunderstood, we are not kidnappers."

"The kidnapped person is my mother, you have misunderstood." The two men shouted.

"Name?"

"Ma Yongfeng." A man about 30 years old said.

"Ma Yongnian." A 25-year-old man said.

Han Bin brought the property manager Wu Chunlei in, pointed at the two and asked, "Do you know them?"

"Manager Wu, I'm Ma Yongnian, I spoke to you just now."

Wu Chunlei looked at the two of them carefully, and said, "I recognize them, they are Mrs. Shen's sons."

"Comrade police, you really arrested the wrong person." Ma Yongfeng said.

Zheng Kaixuan winked and asked someone to uncuff the brothers, and asked, "Where is Shen Nianrou?"

"My mother was kidnapped." Ma Yongnian said.

"Why didn't you call the police?" Han Bin asked.

"We were worried about my mother's safety and dared not call the police," Ma Yongfeng said.

"Old Zeng, Han Bin, you two are responsible for taking notes for Ma Yongnian; Wei Zimo and Du Qi, take Ma Yongfeng to the second floor to take notes." Zheng Kaixuan ordered.

"Yes." Everyone agreed and split up.

Zheng Kaixuan bowed his head, gave Zeng Ping two orders, and followed him upstairs.

Wu Chunlei is a discerning person, and when he saw that the police were about to handle the case, he took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Han Bin sat on the sofa and turned on the law enforcement recorder. Ma Yongfeng sat opposite him.

Zeng Ping stood beside him, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.

"Name, gender, age, ethnicity..."

"Ma Yongnian, male, 26 years old, Han nationality..."

"What's your relationship with Shen Nianrou?" Han Bin asked.

"I just said it was a mother-child relationship."

"When was Shen Nianrou kidnapped?"

"This morning."

"What time is it?"

"Around nine o'clock."

"The specific time?"

"The blackmail call I received at 1000:[-] was from my mother's mobile phone, asking me to pay a ransom of [-] million yuan. If I don't pay the money, I will kill my mother." Ma Yongnian said.

"Where were you at that time?"

"I am home."

"Why didn't you call the police?"

"I was so frightened that I called my elder brother. He said not to call the police, lest my mother be torn up by the kidnappers. The two of us are going to raise money to save people."

"Ten million is not a small amount. Where will you raise the money?" Han Bin asked.

"A few days ago, my mother just sold this villa for about 1200 million. The ransom is not a problem." Ma Yongnian said.

"Who knows that your house is sold?"

"My mother, me, my elder brother, as well as the buyers and the people from the intermediary company."

"Are you sure no one else knows?" Han Bin said.

"To be honest, I didn't sell the house. I don't know if other people know about it." Ma Yongnian spread his hands.

"Since the house is sold, why do you still live here?"

"My mother is planning to invest in real estate abroad. Before the house is selected there, she discusses with the buyer that she will stay for three months longer." Ma Yongnian explained.

"Is your family going to immigrate?"

"There is a plan to immigrate by investment."

"Your family runs a company and lives in a villa, and the living conditions in China are so good, why do you have to go abroad?" Zeng Ping asked.

"Houses abroad are cheap. We saw a villa with a swimming pool in a foreign country, which was bigger than our yard. Guess how much it is?" Before Zeng Ping could answer, Ma Yongnian made a gesture and said:
"It's only 400 million. Our house is sold, and we can buy three houses."

"Does your mother have any enemies?" Han Bin asked.

"My mother is kind and will not take the initiative to conflict with others, but it is inevitable that there will be debt disputes in business. I am not very clear about this aspect."

"Are you suspicious about your mother's kidnapping?" Zeng Ping asked.

Ma Yongnian shook his head: "If I know, I will call the police."

"Do you really think that the kidnappers will release your mother after receiving the ransom?" Han Bin said.

"I don't have any opinions. My elder brother advised me not to call the police, so I just listened to him." Ma Yongnian shrugged his shoulders.

Han Bin turned the carbon pen around and asked, "How is the relationship between Ma Yongfeng and your mother?"

"What do you mean, officer?"

"I ask you to answer."

Ma Yongnian glanced at Han Bin, hesitated to say: "It's okay, but..."

"But what?"

"My eldest brother and I are half-brothers."

"Shen Nianrou is your biological mother?"

"Yes."

"Has there ever been a conflict between your mother and your elder brother?"

"As far as I know, they don't have a good relationship. However, I have been studying abroad, so I don't know the details."

"Did the robber say when to pay the ransom?"

"No."

"When will you be able to raise enough money?"

"You can withdraw money from the bank tomorrow morning." Ma Yongnian said.

"Ma Yongnian, the police are here to rescue your mother. Don't be in conflict with the police. Only by cooperating with the police can you rescue your mother as soon as possible." Zeng Ping warned.

"I know." Ma Yongnian nodded, then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how did you know that my mother was kidnapped?"

"When I need you to know, I will tell you." Han Bin said.

……

Not long after, the four of Zheng Kaixuan also finished their notes and walked down from the second floor.

Zheng Kaixuan took out a pack of cigarettes and said, "Zeng Ping, Han Bin, follow me out for a cigarette."

The three came to the yard and sat on the chairs under the gazebo. Zheng Kaixuan distributed a cigarette to Zeng Ping and Han Bin, and said with a smile:

"Don't say it, it really feels good to sit and smoke in this courtyard of more than 1000 million people."

"It's a pity that this kid Zhao Ming is not here, otherwise it would be appropriate for one person to come to a Chinese." Han Bin laughed.

Zheng Kaixuan shook his head and laughed, and took a puff of smoke: "How are you two asking?"

Zeng Ping flicked the cigarette ash: "Ma Yongnian didn't find anything wrong with him, but I heard something about Ma Yongfeng from his confession."

"Tell me, let's make a comparison."

"Ma Yongfeng and Ma Yongnian have the same father and half mother, and Shen Nianrou is only Ma Yongfeng's stepmother." Zeng Ping said.

Zheng Kaixuan was a little surprised: "This is a bit beyond my expectation."

"According to Ma Yongnian's account, it was Ma Yongfeng who advised him not to call the police, but to pay the ransom to the kidnappers, and the matter dragged on until now," Han Bin said.

"Do you suspect that Ma Yongfeng is suspected?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.

"Whether he is suspected or not, it's hard to say for the time being, but I think these kidnappers should have internal support. Although Shen Nianrou's family has a large company, the company's market value and cash are two different things. If Shen Nianrou didn't happen to sell her villa, It’s impossible to raise that much money in a short period of time.”

Han Bin analyzed it, and continued: "The person who kidnapped Shen Nianrou is either an acquaintance, or someone who has been secretly paying attention to her."

"It is worth noting that the kidnappers mistakenly kidnapped Gao Xiaoyun at [-] o'clock last night, which means that Nei Ying was not directly involved in the kidnapping. Otherwise, such a big omission would not have occurred," Zeng Ping said.

"Captain Zheng, did you find anything in the notes you made for Ma Yongfeng?"

"According to Ma Yongfeng's account, he didn't go home last night. Instead, he worked overtime at the company and slept in the office at night. He didn't know about Shen Nianrou's kidnapping until Ma Yongnian called him." Zheng Kaixuan said.

"I think it is necessary to investigate this Ma Yongfeng." Zeng Ping said.

Han Bin stubbed out the cigarette butt, and said, "Where is the kidnapping scene of Shen Nianrou, we haven't found it yet, maybe we can find other clues at the kidnapping scene."

"The reporting of these two cases was too late. Even if we found the scene, it would probably have been destroyed, and many clues have disappeared." Zeng Ping said helplessly.

Zheng Kaixuan showed a look of determination on his face: "It is precisely because of this that this case must be handled successfully. Only when the two hostages are rescued safely will the common people have more confidence in us."
