The whole world suddenly became precarious, the mountains shook, the air was filled with a damp breath, and a storm was about to come.
Li Zemin woke up in a daze, but he still felt dizzy when he opened his eyes. He tried to open his eyes for a long time, but still had difficulty focusing.
It was not until he realized that there was something smelly stuffed in his mouth, his hands and feet were tied, and he fell into a closed, shaking, and rumbling space that he suddenly remembered that after the car accident, his car door was opened, and a masked man rushed in, holding him down skillfully, and pressing his mouth and nose with a wet cloth...
Sitting up, shakily, and feeling the bumps, Li Zemin gradually realized that he was kidnapped and might be locked in a moving car.
He shook his hands and felt a sharp pain. It was definitely not just the discomfort caused by being tied up with ropes. He moved again, and it hurt even more. He couldn't help but whimper.
Suddenly, another person's voice came from beside him. Li Zemin turned his head and saw the boy sitting up on the other side with the weak light coming through the gap of the iron suitcase.
It was Zhao Zehui.
Why was he also captured? Although the Zhao family was well-off, they were definitely not rich. The robbers must have kidnapped him to extort money from my father. Why did they kidnap Ah Hui as well?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he quickly thought of it.
He was dressed simply, and was considered to be very low-key among the rich young men. Ah Hui was well taken care of by his mother. He was clean and tidy, and was considered to be well-dressed among ordinary families.
The two men are of similar age. Although they don't look alike, they both look like well-bred young masters. They are playing cards together.
The Lai family never likes to be high-profile in the upbringing of their children. He has almost never been exposed to the public.
The robbers must not have been able to tell who is the young master of the Lai family, him or Ah Fai, so they just took them both.
While Ah Fai slowly sat up, his eyes were confused and dazed, Li Zemin's thoughts raced.
He thought that the kidnappers only needed the young master of the Lai family, not the other son of a small middle-class family who couldn't make any money.
Once the robbers figured out who was the young master of the Lai family, would the other one be killed?
Thinking that Ah Fai would die and he would also fall into the hands of the thugs, he didn't know if he would be killed... Would his parents save him? What if there is any mistake and the thugs suddenly change their minds, will they just kill him?
Li Zemin trembled with fear, felt unwell, and his arms and wrists ached. The child who had never suffered any hardship burst into tears.
His eyes were covered with tears, and it was difficult to wipe away the tears. While he was immersed in many negative emotions, another thought suddenly popped up in his mind, making Li Zemin sweat coldly:
What if Ah Fai pretended to be the young master of the Li family...
Now neither he nor Ah Fai had anything to prove their identity. If the kidnappers believed it, would they kill him? Then Ah Fai was redeemed by his parents...
Thinking of this, he turned around and stared defensively at Ah Fai who finally came to his senses, looked around in panic, and made a sobbing sound.
Zhao Qionghui didn't know what Li Zemin was thinking, but he also knew that he might have been implicated by Li Zemin and kidnapped together - the children of wealthy families were kidnapped, such things have been reported in newspapers before.
Looking up and seeing Ah Min looking at him, Zhao Qionghui rubbed over and fell behind him, motioning him to use his hands tied behind his back to help him pull the things out of his mouth.
Li Zemin thought for a few seconds and did as he wished.
The two children then slowly helped each other to pull the things out of their mouths, and then helped each other to untie the ropes on their hands and feet.
Although the kidnappers tied them up very well, they probably either misjudged the time they would be unconscious, or they didn't expect that they could help each other to untie each other.
After they were done, they huddled together and cried in fear for a while, then began to check around. The carriage was locked from the outside, and they had no way out. They
knocked on the door for a while, but the car engine was very loud, and there seemed to be no other traffic or human voices around, so they knocked for a long time in vain.
When they sat side by side at the door of the car, Ah Fai found that there was a wound on Li Zemin's wrist that was scratched by the iron sheet. It was bleeding and stained with a lot of rust.
"The wound may get inflamed. If you have a fever now, it will be terrible. If the wound is deep, you may get tetanus, which can be fatal." Ah Fai checked Li Zemin's wound, turned around and checked the surroundings. In a box near the inside, he found thirteen bottles of mineral water.
Ah Fai took a bottle, ran to Li Zemin, pulled up his wrist, said "Bear the pain~", and began to help him clean the wound, "My mother is a nurse, she taught me."
"Why don't you cry? Aren't you afraid of death?" Li Zemin gritted his teeth and endured the pain, staring at Ah Fai's face in the faint light.
Ah Fai focused on cleaning Li Zemin's wound, then took off his scarf, folded it and wrapped it around his wound, "This is much better, I hope we can be rescued soon."
"Aren't you afraid?" Li Zemin didn't get an answer, so he asked again stubbornly.
"My family has no money, they will definitely kidnap you, will I die too?" Ah Fai said naively, looking up and meeting Li Zemin's eyes, making Li Zemin believe that he was speaking from his heart.
Ah Fai not only didn't think he would die, but he also tried to appear calm and strong, because in his opinion, Ah Min was so pitiful and might die, so he, Zhao Qionghui, had to find a way to take care of poor Ah Min.
Li Zemin had long felt that Ah Fai was a bit dull, not only slow-tempered, but also often stubborn and slow. Hearing Ah Fai's words at this moment, if the situation was not so bad, Lai Zemin would have simply laughed at Ah Fai...
But after a pause of nearly 1 minute, Lai Zemin still started to mock him:
"Do you think the kidnappers will let you go?"
Ah Fai turned his head and raised his eyebrows, as if asking back: "No?"
"Let you go and let you find the police to report it?" Lai Zemin imitated Ah Fai's way of speaking: "Uncle police, I was released from here. There are 5 of them in total. You go and catch the kidnappers!"
"Ah!" Ah Fai finally reacted. He looked at Lai Zemin blankly, as if he finally knew to be afraid and cry.
"Listen to me." Li Zemin wiped the tears that were still wet on his face and said sternly: "When they ask you something and who your parents are, don't answer! As long as we don't say anything, they won't know who the real young master of the Li family is, and they won't kill you. Do you understand? Even if they beat you, you can't say it!"
Ah Hui was a little scared and nodded, showing a not very smart look.
Li Zemin grabbed Ah Hui's wrist, "Did you hear me? If they beat me or scold me, I won't say anything. Do you understand?"
"I... I know." Ah Hui was frightened and spoke.
"It's okay. Even if we get beaten, as long as we're alive, it's okay." Li Zemin grabbed Ah Fai's hand and held it tightly.
"They will beat us..." Ah Fai frowned, looking like he was about to cry.
"By the way, even if they cut off our fingers, we can still attach them when we're rescued. So don't be afraid of anything. No matter what, we can't let them know who we are, Li Zemin and who we are, Zhao Qionghui. Do you understand?" Li Zemin emphasized again.
"They will also cut off our fingers..." Ah Fai was even more scared.
"...Anyway, you listen to me!" Li Zemin held the other's hand tightly, "If they ask for the Li family's phone number, you carry the first four and I carry the last four, understand?"
"..." Ah Fai nodded, and realized that although Li Zemin's tone was very firm, the hand holding his own was as cold and trembling as his own.
Ah Fai pursed his lips, looked up at the dim iron carriage, and whispered again: "I know."
"...Yeah."
The two children stood shoulder to shoulder, holding hands, and discussed how to escape together if someone came to open the door after the car stopped.
It seemed that they were forced to grow up overnight.
……
……
At 8:30 in the morning on the 12th, when the police station began to be busy, CID B Group had been on duty for a long time.
After Fang Zhenyue and Jiayi returned from Mr. Huang's office, they immediately integrated all the existing clues.
No matter how many people the murderer was, the final target was [Qian Ji Car Dealership].
[AM8:52]
Yi Jiayi took Sanfu, Liang Shule and George and went straight to Qian Ji Car Dealership.
As soon as she entered the door, Jiayi saw a thin man squatting by the car and discussing the car to be repaired with the customer.
The moment the thin man looked at Jiayi, his face turned pale, and he instinctively stood up and put on a fearful posture of shrinking his shoulders, and then turned around and ran away.
"Hold him." Jiayi responded immediately, pointing at the thin man, and Sanfu and others rushed over.
The customer was frightened and fell back, and when he regained his consciousness, the mechanic who served him had been pressed to the ground.
"What's going on? Who are you?" The guest was about to run out in panic when Jiayi took out her ID and showed it in front of him.
"Police investigation." Jiayi said, put away her ID, walked to the thin man, and glanced at the name tag on his chest, "Liu Shaoqiang, why are you running?"
"Madam..." Liu Shaoqiang's facial features twitched instantly, as if he was about to cry.
"Someone saw you dumping a body in Kowloon Park last night. What do you have to say?" Jiayi stood in front of Liu Shaoqiang, and she didn't even bother to say "You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say next will become evidence in court." She started questioning directly.
Taking advantage of the murderer's most panicked moment when he was just captured, she hit him at his most vulnerable point.
When Liu Shaoqiang heard Jiayi's words, he immediately thought of the time when he dumped the body in the park last night and was caught by a man carrying his drunk girlfriend... He naturally thought that it was that man who called the police.
"Madam, I... I was just passing by the park after drinking. Adi's death has nothing to do with me..."
"How do you know Adi is dead? Didn't he just skip work for something?" Jiayi snorted coldly, "I didn't say the dead body was Adi, did I?"
"..." Liu Shaoqiang's face turned ashen again, his lips trembled, and his eyes became gray.
Jiayi then turned around and asked the guest standing next to her: "Excuse me, what's your name?"
"Ah, Madam Yi..." The guest had already recognized Yi Jiayi at this moment. He had never thought that he could see Detective Yi catching a murderer with his own eyes. He leaned against his car excitedly, wishing that he could have a camera in his hand to take a picture of Madam's sharp look at the case. "My name is Chen Baiming."
"Do you have a business card?" Jiayi asked again.
"Yes, I do." Chen Baiming immediately took out his business card, walked up to the other party, and handed it over politely.
Jiayi nodded and took it. After taking a look, she handed it to Sanfu, "This Mr. Chen is an eyewitness who saw Liu Shaoqiang confess to killing Adi. If necessary, you can ask Mr. Chen to testify in court."
"Ah, I'm willing to." Chen Baiming immediately expressed his attitude.
"Thank you." Jiayi gestured to Chen Boming, then turned to Liu Shaoqiang with a cold face, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"I... I didn't mean it, madam... sob..." Liu Shaoqiang finally lost his composure and wanted to cover his face and cry, but his hands were restrained by George and Liang Shule, and he couldn't move at all. He tilted his head and tried to bury his face in his shoulders, "We drank a lot of wine at that time. Adi borrowed money from me and didn't pay it back. He also kept scolding me... I didn't know what I was doing at all. I touched the hammer in my hand, and... I hit him. Who knew... Who knew that he would die, sob..."
"Take him there to give a statement." Jiayi pointed to a small room behind the car dealership.
The boss who was standing at the door of the room and looking around made eye contact with Jiayi, and then came over to offer Jiayi a cigarette, "Madam, what's up?"
"No, thank you." Jiayi pushed the cigarette away, "The police are investigating a case, sir, just cooperate and provide a room."
"No problem, I'll ask Ah Hong to make some tea for the police officers." The boss turned around and was about to make arrangements.
"No need." Jiayi stretched out her hand to stop him.
Sanfu had already brought Liang Shule and George, and escorted Liu Shaoqiang to a small room next to them to interrogate the murderer.
Several people sat by the window at the door. Although they could not hear the conversation, everything they did was clearly displayed, and the boss and the guest Mr. Chen standing outside could see it clearly.
Finally, Liu Shaoqiang signed and sealed the confession, which took effect immediately.
Sanfu brought Liu Shaoqiang out to recreate the murder scene. Jiayi invited Mr. Chen and the car dealership owner and other idle people to the outside of the car dealership, and received a business card from the car dealership owner.
[AM10:12]
Yi Jiayi led the team to escort Liu Shaoqiang back to the police station and asked Diane from the Forensic Department to collect Liu Shaoqiang's fingerprints. Jiayi
walked to the front of the interrogation room, glanced at Liu Shaoqiang sitting inside, turned to Fang Zhenyue who rushed back from the Forensic Department and said:
"Brother Yue, the car dealership murder case has been solved."
"..." Fang Zhenyue looked up at the clock, and when his eyes fell back on Yi Jiayi's face, he pouted, his eyebrows drooped, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Jiayi turned around and saw that everyone else had entered the interrogation room, so she quickly pulled his hand and said, "Liu Shaoqiang may have met the murderer in another case. I will go to interrogate him again. Wait a minute."
After taking her hand back, she looked up at the time and then turned around to enter the interrogation room.
She always remembered what Brother Yue said, that there is a time window for kidnapping cases. The sooner you get into the kidnapping case and the sooner you make all the breakthroughs, the better. Therefore, you have to race against time and don't want to stop.
The moment she turned around, Fang Zhenyue grabbed her hand, and thousands of words turned into:
"Eleven, thank you."
Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, shook his hand back vigorously, and then withdrew her hand and walked into the interrogation room.
When she walked to the interrogation table, Jiayi threw a stack of documents in her hand on the table, and Liu Shaoqiang was frightened.
Before he could slow down, Jiayi spoke:
"Last night in Kowloon Park, when I saw you dumping the body, from which direction did the man walk to you? What color clothes was he wearing? How tall was he? What was his hairstyle? What were his physical features?"!
