Chapter 993: Caught, but not all caught

Amidst this anxious waiting and uneasiness, Qiu Binjie came to the hospital again.

He was dusty and his face showed obvious fatigue, but there was an unusual light in his sharp eyes.

"Uncle!" As soon as I saw him, I almost jumped up from the sofa, my heart pounding. "Any news?"

Qiu Binjie nodded and glanced at Xiaoyan.

Xiao Yan saluted him respectfully: "Hello, Director Qiu!"

Qiu Binjie nodded and motioned for me to sit down. He also pulled a chair over and sat opposite me.

Xiaoyan poured him a glass of water, then quietly retreated to guard outside the door.

"There's been a major breakthrough in the case." He went straight to the point, his voice steady and powerful, "Xiao Ru's reward order is surprisingly effective.

We have received over a hundred dashcam videos claiming to have captured the incident.”

He took a sip of water and continued, "After the technical department screened and compared timestamps and GPS locations overnight, they eliminated most of the fake videos or those with inconsistent time and location, and finally identified 37 valid videos that met the requirements.

We focused our efforts on analyzing these videos frame by frame.”

My heart was in my throat and I listened with bated breath.

"We finally found an important clue," Qiu Binjie said, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, "We found something unusual in one of the videos!

About ten minutes before your vehicle lost control, a black, unlicensed, old-model Santana was following your vehicle closely, maintaining a relatively fixed distance.

Furthermore, the car stopped briefly at a hidden intersection near where your accident occurred."

He leaned forward slightly and said, "We immediately retrieved all possible surveillance footage near that fork in the road, and combined it with other dashcam footage, we successfully captured the vehicle's trajectory as it left.

Finally, they locked onto a remote urban village.

Xiao Wen and his men staked out the area for two days, and yesterday afternoon, they successfully captured the two people in the car.

"They caught them?!" I was so excited that my voice changed. "Who are they? Why did they want to kill Shiqiu?"

Qiu Binjie's expression was even more serious: "They are two habitual criminals with a history of theft and property damage. They are registered with the local police station.

After being interrogated for a whole night, he was very stubborn at first, but eventually he couldn't stand the pressure and gave in.

They admitted that they were instructed to do so.”

"Under someone's orders? Who?!" I asked anxiously.

Qiu Binjie shook his head: "They don't know the specific identity of the mastermind behind this.

The other party contacted them through an overseas encrypted communication software, and they did not meet in person during the whole process.

The other party promised to give them two million in cash after the deal was done. They paid a deposit of one million first and put it in the trash can they designated.

The remaining money will be given after Xiaoqiu's 'accidental death' is confirmed."

He snorted coldly: "These two idiots were lucky at first and thought it was a windfall.

But the other party's methods were also very vicious. They sent them some photos of their family and information about their daily activities, and threatened that if they dared to tell anyone or if things went wrong, their whole family would be buried with them!

So after they were arrested, they were terrified and didn't dare to speak out easily."

My heart sank little by little.

Two million for his life? And he even threatened his family? This manipulator was not only ruthless, but also meticulous and extremely cautious.

Then he hides in the dark and may attack again at any time.

"Uncle," I said, my voice trembling, subconsciously protecting my lower abdomen, "Then...are there no more clues?"

“They explained the crime process quite clearly.

It was the tampering that happened when you parked your vehicle in the temple parking lot.

They installed a small remote-controlled sabotage device on the car.

This device has a sophisticated structure and can damage the brake oil pipes and power steering oil pipes, creating the illusion that the pipes are broken instantly.

Then, they followed you all the way, and when they reached the right location, they activated the device remotely."

He paused and added, "Our search and rescue team found the wreckage of the device that fell off the cliff yesterday afternoon. Although it was slightly deformed, the key components are still there and are important physical evidence.

Now that we have both witnesses and evidence, this case is a confirmed case of attempted murder!

It’s a pity that the person behind it doesn’t know it yet.”

"Then... the person who ordered it..." I said with difficulty, "Don't you have any clues at all?"

Qiu Binjie's eyes were as sharp as an eagle: "Not yet.

Those two guys said the other person’s voice was processed and they couldn’t even tell their gender.”

He changed the subject, "But the other party paid in cash. There must not be many people who withdraw such a large amount of cash from the bank these days. Wen Congwu is already doing his best to track this line."

He looked at my hands that subconsciously protected my lower abdomen, and said in a soothing tone, "Wife Xiaoqiu, don't worry too much.

Now the two people who directly took action have been arrested. The people behind the scenes know that the matter has been exposed and will not dare to act rashly in the short term.

The most important thing for you now is to relax, take good care of your health, and take good care of yourself and your children.

Xiaoqiu has Su Yi watching over him. This is the best hospital in the city, so he will definitely get better."

I nodded and tried to force a smile.

The days continued to repeat themselves, and Xiao Shiqiu still showed no signs of waking up.

After various examinations, it was found that his injuries were slowly recovering and his various indicators were improving, but he still remained unconscious.

Every time I finally caught Su Yi and asked him about Xiao Shiqiu's situation, he would always say that the situation was getting better.

But apart from seeing his originally strong body starting to become thinner, I didn't see any signs of improvement.

Xiao Zhengning came here several times. Every time he came, he would move a chair and sit in front of the glass, quietly looking at his only son.

There is not much to talk about with me, my newly married daughter-in-law.

They just asked me to take care of myself, whether I was satisfied with the food, and whether there was anything I wasn't used to living in.

The last question is whether there is enough money to spend?

God knows I don’t even have a chance to spend money here!

I think he is a bit like my dad. We both like to use money to express our concern.

Qiu Binjie never came back after he left that time, so there seems to be no new progress in the investigation of the mastermind behind the incident.

Just when I was wondering if Wen Congwu had given up the investigation, Qiu Binjie came again.

"Uncle, did you catch the person?" I urgently need some good news to give myself a break.

This time he looked obviously different, "Finally caught them! Damn it! I always thought it was those vampires from the Xiao family's first and third branches, but I didn't expect it to be someone close to Xiao Qiu!"
