Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Zombies
He Junxia stared at her for a long time, and finally matched her haggard face with the beautiful woman with delicate makeup in the photo.
"You are Lu Juanjuan, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lu Juanjuan is the second wife of Xie Tengda's father in the biological sense.
When Zhang Jingqiang came to her house for the first time, He Junxia investigated him thoroughly, so she had some impression of Lu Juanjuan.
However, she wasn't the mistress who destroyed the wisher's family, so He Junxia had no ill feelings towards her. Of course, she didn't have any good feelings towards her either, and only regarded her as a stranger.
Lu Juanjuan didn't expect He Junxia to call out her name directly. She was stunned for a moment, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
She cried and begged, "Minister Xie, please save my son. He is your brother, please save him.
He Junxia frowned slightly, took out a clean tissue from her pocket and handed it to her: "Don't cry, explain the situation clearly first."
Lu Juanjuan took the tissue, clutching it in her hand, sobbing, "I had to go to the market to do some temporary work this morning, so I left Min'an at home. Min'an is very obedient and never wanders around to worry me, but he disappeared today."
"There's a note on the table saying Min'an is in his hands and he wants me to give him twenty level three crystal cores to ransom him, otherwise he'll kill me."
He Junxia raised her eyebrows slightly.
Which kidnapper would kidnap a child from a poor family and ask for the exorbitant price of twenty level three crystal cores?
Aren’t you afraid that your work will be in vain?
Twenty third-level crystal cores weren't a big deal for him, and that was just for him. The current market price of a third-level crystal core was around 50,000 contribution points, enough for a family of four to eat meat every day and live a high-quality life for at least a year.
Twenty third-level crystal cores are enough to buy a three-bedroom apartment in the center of the base.
He Junxia thought of another possibility.
He discreetly studied the woman before him, analyzing her movements and micro-expressions. After a moment, he said, "Didn't the neighbors hear anything?"
Lu Juanjuan shook her head bitterly: "I asked, and they all said they didn't know."
He Junxia: "Show me that piece of paper."
Lu Juanjuan spread out her right hand to reveal a crumpled piece of paper.
The edges of this note are uneven, the paper is white and of good quality, as if the kidnappers had torn it off at random from a picture book.
Part of the note was soaked with sweat, and the words written in black pen on the paper were also blurred. There were obvious thumb pressure marks on the edges of both ends of the note, showing the nervousness and panic of the holder of the note.
He Junxia unfolded the wrinkled parts of the paper one by one and smoothed them out, exposing the scribbled words on the paper completely to his vision.
Although the words were written in a sloppy manner, there was no hesitation or pause between each stroke. To some extent, it can be concluded that this was not a spur-of-the-moment kidnapping.
The fact that the kidnappers dared to offer a high price of twenty third-level crystal cores showed that they were certain that Lu Juanjuan could get so many crystal cores, or that they knew that the Lu family was related to them.
The most important thing is that he took away a five-year-old child without causing any commotion.
He Junxia believed that Lu Juanjuan would not neglect the safety education of her children. A five-year-old child suddenly disappeared at home without causing any commotion. Considering all the above, a name is obvious.
He asked, "Has Zhang Jingqiang come to see you recently?"
Lu Juanjuan shook her head: "No, I haven't seen him since he was arrested by the police and sent to labor reform."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something and was shocked: "Impossible, he is Min An's father, he wouldn't..."
“Nothing is impossible.”
He Junxia interrupted her mumbling: "Do you know why my mother divorced him?"
Lu Juanjuan was puzzled: "Isn't it a relationship problem?"
He Juanxia smiled and said, "I was diagnosed with a heart disease and needed to go to the hospital for surgery. He took the money from our family and ran off with his mistress."
Lu Juanjuan fell silent.
Emotionally, she was unwilling to believe what He Junxia said, but her reason told her that this was the truth of the matter.
Her husband has been a heartless, selfish and shameless villain from the beginning to the end.
She never got a good look at him.
Lu Juanjuan sniffed, suddenly bent her knees and was about to kneel down, but was supported by He Junxia who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
Seeing the scrutinizing looks from passersby, he had no choice but to say, "Come with me first."
He took Lu Juanjuan back to the studio and asked, "Have you called the police?"
Lu Juanjuan shook her head: "I dare not."
With tears in her eyes, she said, "I know this request is very difficult for you, but please, save Min'an. I will work like a slave for you."
He Junxia sighed: "I don't need you to work like a slave, but I can help with this matter."
If we do nothing and fail to catch the kidnappers, I'm afraid they will choose to attack Xie Liqing next time.
He Junxia pulled out a chair for Lu Juanjuan to sit down: "The premise is that we must call the police."
"But!"
Lu Juanjuan stood up again nervously.
He Junxia's expression was serious: "No buts."
"Calm down and think about it carefully. Do you think the kidnappers would let go of a child who had seen his face?"
"Even if the kidnapper is Zhang Jingqiang, he might not harm his son, but would he be willing to give up such a golden nugget?"
"If it happens once, there will be a second time. I won't help you every time."
After each sentence, He Junxia paused for a minute to give Lu Juanjuan ample time to think. After finishing her words, Lu Juanjuan finally calmed down.
She was persuaded.
Calling the police is the best option. You cannot give the initiative to the kidnappers and expect them to be kind.
There was just one thing that prevented Lu Juanjuan from making up her mind.
She hesitated and said, "But the note said he had acquaintances in the police station, and he would kill me as soon as he knew I called the police."
He Juanxia smiled coldly: "Don't worry, he won't know."
As he said this, he took out his cell phone and started making calls, telling the other party the cause of the incident, the current situation and his demands.
As one of the few level five psychics in the official department of the base, he has a special emergency line. As long as he calls the police, the police station will handle it for him immediately.
This is also the reason why his mobile phone was still able to call the police during the last mass march.
As for why he dared to assure Lu Juanjuan that the other party would not know about the call to the police?
The reason is very simple.
His alarm information belonged to another system of the base's public security department. Ordinary people, even ordinary guards and police, were unaware of the existence of this system.
And those who have the ability to know and can get the inside information will not take the risk for 20 third-level crystal cores.
They can make extra money much faster than kidnapping.
"Is that all right?"
Seeing that He Junxia did not take any further action after hanging up the phone, Lu Juanjuan asked anxiously.
"Let them check the surveillance cameras near your home first." He Junxia soothed him, "There are still two and a half days until the deadline specified on the note. If we can't find the kidnappers' hiding place, I will give you 20 third-level crystal cores."
Lu Juanjuan shed tears silently, she hated herself.
She hated herself for leaving her child home alone in the morning, hated herself for not being able to protect her child, and even more hated herself for not listening to her parents' advice and insisting on marrying a man who only knew how to speak sweet words, and finally chose a beast as the father of her child.
Although there is currently no evidence to prove that the kidnapper is Zhang Jingqiang, who else besides him would know that a penniless family has a relative who can produce twenty third-level crystal cores at once.
This is indeed the case.
Fifteen minutes later, the police station called and attached a surveillance video. This was the last time Zhang Min'an appeared in the surveillance video.
In the video, a five-year-old child walks with a thin man wearing a mask, black clothes and a black hat. The two hold hands, and the child walks and skips, occasionally looking up to talk to the man, looking very happy.
Lu Juanjuan watched the child jumping around in the video, tears streaming down her face. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's him, it's him, that beast!"
Lu Juanjuan cried and explained to He Junxia: "Min'an is a little shy, and we don't have any familiar relatives or friends at the base. Only his father can make him so happy."
He Junxia handed over another stack of clean paper.
"Since the kidnapper is Zhang Jingqiang, he probably won't harm his own child before getting the ransom. You can rest assured for now."
However, things got a bit troublesome once the two of them left the base.
The area outside the base is vast and there is no surveillance. Trying to find someone who is deliberately hiding is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the police station is also powerless.
He Junxia fell into deep thought, his fingers tapping the table lightly, his brows slightly furrowed.
Seeing the young man frown as if he had encountered some kind of problem, Lu Juanjuan's heart suddenly tightened. She subconsciously held her breath, pursed her lips, and even her body trembled uncontrollably. Her eyes, filled with tears, were pleading and desperate, for fear of hearing terrible words from his mouth.
Fortunately, what she resisted did not happen.
He Junxia thought of the kidnapping case he encountered in the first mission world, and suddenly he had an idea. He picked up his phone and called Xie Liqing.
A cat’s sense of smell is no worse than a dog’s. You can take your big fat cat out and try it.
I forgot to mention that after the Big Fat Cat successfully advanced to level 4, he gained a new ability, which is to change his body shape at will. The smallest he can become is a newborn kitten, and the largest is the size of an adult elephant.
In addition, He Junxia called a new friend he had recently met and asked him to help find the whereabouts of Zhang Jingqiang and Zhang Minan outside.
After all, it is not safer outside the base than inside the base. Even if someone like Zhang Jingqiang leaves the base, he probably won't go too far away from the base, not to mention that he is with a child.
His new friend is the leader of the Storm Hunting Group, one of the three major private hunting groups in the base. He has countless subordinates and knows the area around the base very well.
With these three approaches, He Junxia soon got an important piece of information - someone had seen Zhang Jingqiang and Zhang Minan in a residential building outside the southeast corner of the base.
The search range was further narrowed, and He Junxia gave the shrunken orange cat the children's clothes that Lu Juanjuan had found at home to sniff.
"If you find the owner of the clothes, I'll treat you to a big dinner tomorrow night."
The orange cat licked its paw proudly: "Meow meow meow meow."
He Junxia rubbed its head and said with a smile: "Okay, eat fish."
As soon as he finished speaking, the orange kitten shot out of the base from the southeast gate like an arrow. Passersby only felt a gust of wind passing by and didn't even see the kitten's shadow.
He Junxia followed the orange cat out of the city. Lu Juanjuan, who was left at the city gate, had pale lips, clasped her fingers together, took deep breaths continuously, and muttered to herself, praying to God, hoping that the child would return safely.
She was willing to exchange her own life for it.
The results were very smooth.
He Junxia and Xiaomao not only successfully brought back Zhang Min'an, but also Zhang Jingqiang and his accomplices were not left behind.
He handed the angry little brat over to Lu Juanjuan and handed over the prisoners to the police station.
"Let my dad go, let my dad go, bad guy, big bad guy."
The child, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, stared at He Junxia angrily even when he was held in his mother's arms.
Seeing this, Lu Juanjuan slapped him directly. The sound of the slap was crisp and loud, and she didn't hold back at all.
Lu Juanjuan roared: "Don't be rude to your brother. What did I teach you?"
The child covered his face in disbelief, his eyes filled with grievance: "Mom, he hit Dad, he is a bad guy."
Lu Juanjuan squatted down and looked at her child seriously: "Brother is not a bad person, brother is a benefactor. Brother saved you, you should say thank you."
She pointed at the man in black who was handcuffed and said, "He is the bad guy. He wants to take An An away to a place where Mommy will never see her again."
The child was confused and said: "But Daddy is not taking An An away, Daddy is taking An An out to play."
The child's eyes were full of admiration for his father. When he mentioned his father, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, which made the adults present feel uncomfortable.
That thing is a beast!
He Junxia said, "Take the child back first. He's still young and doesn't understand. When he's older, you can slowly tell him."
According to the information he investigated, Zhang Jingqiang and Lu Juanjuan played the role of a caring husband and loving father for a long time after they got married. It was not until the end of the world came and Lu Juanjuan's small factory became scrapped that his true colors were revealed.
It’s no wonder that children have such a filter for their fathers.
Upon hearing this, Lu Juanjuan knelt down and kowtowed three times to He Junxia and the others who helped.
The child is her only family in this world. If something happens to Min'an, she really doesn't know how to survive.
After thanking her, Lu Juanjuan hurried away with her child in her arms, without even looking at the man in black. The police car also roared away with the prisoner.
He Junxia looked at Captain Wang and said, "Brother Wang, you really helped me a lot today. Let's have dinner together tomorrow. I have to thank you very much."
If it weren't for the information provided by Captain Wang, they might not have been able to find the child so quickly.
Captain Wang, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, smiled and waved his hands: "It's a small matter, as long as the child is fine. But is that child your brother?"
He Junxia smiled: "I guess so. From now on, I'll have to ask you to take good care of them."
Captain Wang smiled and said, "Leave it to me."
The two chatted for a while and then left after agreeing on a time to eat.
late at night
He Junxia was lying on the bed and had fallen asleep when suddenly a vague sound rang in her ears.
