While Superintendent Wong was calling Inspector Guo of the Public Relations Division to publicize [CID Team One solved two cases in 9 hours, creating another miracle], Fang Zhenyue and his team arrived at the O-Tribe headquarters and joined the White-Eye Eagle King and the Li Family Young Master kidnapping case task force.
"Not only was the ten-year-old Li Zemin kidnapped, but also Zhao Qionghui, who was in the same school and grade." Dylan held a pointer in his hand, pointed to the information written on the whiteboard, and introduced to Fang Zhenyue, Yi Jiayi and others:
"Li Zemin is 145cm tall, similar to Zhao Qionghui, and the two are also very similar in weight and hairstyle.
"Zhao Qionghui is the landscape planner hired by the wealthy Li family. At this stage, Zhao Qionghui's father, Zhao Qing, already knows that his son and the young master of the Li family were kidnapped, but Mrs. Zhao doesn't know yet - Zhao Qing was worried that his wife couldn't bear it, so he concealed the matter from Mrs. Zhao, saying only that Zhao Qionghui and Li Zemin had a good time and were invited to stay overnight by the Li family."
Dylan stopped talking, took a few breaths, and continued:
"When the two children were kidnapped, the driver was knocked unconscious. He worked with the portrait artist to draw portraits of several kidnappers, but because the situation was urgent at the time and the kidnappers all covered their faces and wore sunglasses, it was difficult to clearly identify their identities.
"These are portraits of the kidnappers."
They are just blurry portraits of people wearing masks and sunglasses, which are of little help in solving the case and finding the kidnappers.
"The driver said that before he passed out, he saw a pistol on the kidnapper's waist--" Dylan said several important information one by one.
Yi Jiayi could feel Fang Zhenyue's emotions rising and falling beside her. She turned to look at him and saw Fang Zhenyue staring at the portrait with his eyes, and replied to Dylan in a deep voice:
".38 pistol."
"...Yes." Dylan stared at Fang Zhenyue, and was silent for a few seconds before nodding his head.
The White-browed Eagle King glanced at Fang Zhenyue, then at the portraits whose faces could not be seen clearly, and asked, "Are you sure it's a group of people?"
After all, it had been twenty years since the kidnapping of the young master of the Fang family. The kidnappers might have changed greatly in appearance. Moreover, even if they hadn't changed, they would be impossible to distinguish clearly with masks and hats on.
Fang Zhenyue didn't know whether he hoped too much that the same person was responsible for both cases, or he was really sure, he just added with certainty:
"There were five kidnappers in total, with more than one gun. They would daze the victims and lock them in a moving van, disguising it as a delivery truck, shuttling back and forth between cities. During the kidnapping, they continued to do work such as delivering and receiving goods. He could make a negotiation call from any phone booth or convenience store in the city, and it would be difficult to track him..."
Years of research and analysis of the cases of that year made Fang Zhenyue's description extremely detailed, instantly dispelling the fog in the office and making the vague enemy much clearer.
"After the kidnappers have agreed on the price, the place and method of payment with the victim's family...they will probably lock the victim in a secret place, or send him to a place far away from their base..." At this point, Fang Zhenyue lowered his eyes and was silent for a few breaths before continuing:
"It is best for us to locate the victims while they are still in the van. A car cannot run 24 hours a day. Even a delivery truck will need to refuel and stop.
"If you wait until the last step to find the victim, even if the kidnappers don't kill you, they may tell you the wrong location or something, which will cause the victim to die in an unknown place and never be found again. "
If the kidnappers can't get the money, they will definitely kill the victim. But even if they get the money, they may not necessarily not kill the victim.
Most wealthy people are just spending money to buy an opportunity. There are indeed some "professional" kidnappers who are far from really escalating the matter. After receiving the money, they will be very "moral" and send the child back safely.
But there are always more accidents.
"Half an hour ago, the Li family received a call from the kidnappers. It was indeed as Sir Fang said. The call was made from a telephone booth on Bulkeley Street in Hung Hom. Our people went to check. There are a lot of vans of all kinds traveling on that street every day, including mail trucks, seafood trucks, moving trucks, and trucks. It is normal for vehicles to come and go and occasionally park. There were a lot of pedestrians passing by. The kidnappers chose a telephone booth in a small alley. There was no store facing it. After visiting, no witnesses were found. "Dylan walked to the recorder, turned around and said,
"Let's listen to the telephone recording."
A few minutes later, the recorder started running, and after the sound of Shalala, the content of the telephone recording came out:
"Hello? Hello." The person who answered the phone was Li Fuhao himself.
"..." The person on the other end did not speak immediately.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Li?"
"It's me. Who are you?"
"Mr. Li, you are very smart. You didn't call the police. I hope you will always be so smart in the future."
"How is Ah Min now? Don't hurt him. Can I talk to him? "
"Master Li is doing well now, but it's not convenient for you to talk on the phone for the time being."
"How much money do you want?"
"I hope you can prepare 10 million in cash within 2 days."
"Within 2 days, it's impossible. I can't call the police, and I can't attract other people's attention, lest the media find out. You have to give me more time--"
"These troubles are your business, I just want the results. Either I get 10 million in 2 days, and Master Li returns home alive and well. Or if there is no 10 million in 2 days, you can have another child."
"10 million? It's too much! And even if it's a few million, it's impossible to raise it in 3...3 days!"
"Why don't you think about it again, and I'll think about it too. "
After saying that, the robber hung up the phone.
Dylan, who was leaning against the long table next to the whiteboard with his arms
crossed, turned off the recorder and turned to Fang Zhenyue and others and said: "From the conversation, we heard that the kidnappers were stalking the Li family nearby. Fortunately, our people sneaked into the Li family villa quietly, and did not go in and out many times afterwards, so they were not discovered. But it will be difficult to send people in later."
"Did Mr. Li say what he said according to the requirements of O-ji?" Fang Zhenyue asked. "
Yes, that's about it." Dylan nodded.
"The kidnappers will agree to pay the money after 3 days." Fang Zhenyue said with certainty.
"Why do you say that?" Dylan asked.
"They had done a job 20 years ago. The kidnapped family did not report the incident to the police, and the incident was exposed several months after the incident. The police followed up and learned about the whole process of the kidnapping. The kidnappers asked for 2 million Hong Kong dollars and collected the cash to deliver it four days later. Experienced kidnappers all know that it takes time to raise cash. The reason why they did not give in to Mr. Lai and asked him to deliver 10 million Hong Kong dollars within two days in the first phone call was just a pressure act.
"The kidnappers will then wait a few more hours before making a second call to Mr. Li. They want Mr. Li to find a way to raise the money. At the same time, he will be anxious during these hours, worried that he will not be able to meet the kidnappers' demands and even more worried that the kidnappers will kill him.
"When the kidnappers feel that Mr. Li's psychological defenses have been broken down by the passage of time, they will make a second call. At that time, Mr. Li's statement that he can raise funds within a few days is most likely the best result that Mr. Li can achieve."
"They are experienced and know how to deal with the families of the kidnapped." Dylan held the pointer, his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.
"Yes. The kidnapper didn't reveal any information in the first call, just the amount of 10 million Hong Kong dollars." Fang Zhenyue continued to explain the clues the police have now, and the deep meaning behind them: "In fact, the main purpose is to prevent Mr. Li from calling the police because he can't answer the phone, and the second is to put pressure and test." "
Then that means the second call is crucial." Dylan put down the pointer, rubbed his forehead, wiped his face, and turned to look at the White-browed Eagle King.
"Patrick, what do you think?" The White-browed Eagle King looked at Fang Zhenyue's confident expression and simply handed over the right to speak that the other party wanted.
Fang Zhenyue took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Yi Jiayi. After feeling the other's support and attention, he spoke:
"Mr. Li must be an excellent listener and never interrupt the kidnappers. He must make the kidnappers feel that they have controlled the situation to a considerable extent. Otherwise, the kidnappers will feel offended and out of control. They may even suspect that Mr. Li is a cunning and terrible person and is planning something to confront them. This will cause unnecessary harm to the kidnapped persons or even their bodies to be killed.
"Try to follow the pace planned by the kidnappers 100% in advance. This way, we can examine the information conveyed behind every condition and behavior of the kidnappers to the greatest extent possible. "
Fang Zhenyue finished speaking, and Dylan wrote down what he said on the whiteboard as the first item.
"The method that Mr. O conveyed to Mr. Li to delay time is correct. On this point, we must insist and be sincere, and strive to make the kidnappers trust Mr. Li. It will indeed take 3 days to collect the money. But the time cannot be prolonged indefinitely. Once the robbers feel tired, frustrated and irritated, they will have negative emotions such as fear of failure and worry about being caught by the police, which will increase the risk of them breaking the jar and destroying the jar." Fang Zhenyue took a deep breath, "We must be prepared to find the victim within 3 days."
"3 days..." Dylan couldn't help but rub his face with his palm again.
"How are the families of the children who were kidnapped with Li Zemin? "Is it under control?" Jiayi suddenly asked.
Everyone looked at her. Fang Zhenyue took the opportunity to grab a bottle of mineral water on the table and took a big gulp. Then he looked at her.
"The kidnappers only need to kidnap the wealthy young master Li. They can't squeeze much money out of the other family that is not so well-off. Instead of blackmailing both families and causing unnecessary trouble, it is better to give up Zhao Qionghui who is not worth much and just communicate with the rich man Li and take his money. "Jia Yi said.
"Yes, we have thought of this. Zhao Qionghui may be abandoned..." Dylan nodded, took a deep breath and replied:
"Zhao Qing's mood is relatively stable. After all, he has not received any calls from the kidnappers. No one knows what the situation is.
"I had been hiding this information from Mrs. Zhao before, but after Mr. Li received a call from the kidnappers, Zhao Qing also called his wife and informed her of their son's condition. After all, it's okay to tell the lie that the child was staying at the Li family once, but anyone would think something was wrong if he didn't come home for two consecutive nights.
"When Mrs. Zhao answered the phone, she was participating in the rescue work of a series of rear-end collisions on the viaduct. She was petite and jumped into the car to help the injured with their seat belts and perform initial first aid... She just jumped out of the car when she received a call from her husband..."
Dylan sighed and continued:
"Mrs. Zhao drove to the villa of the wealthy Li in Taiping Mountain in her work clothes stained with the blood of the injured. She should be there soon. Our people will do their best to comfort Mrs. Zhao. If necessary, we will let Zhao Qing and his wife stay in Li Fuhao's villa day and night for the next three days to avoid contact with other people and uncontrollable accidents. "
When everyone had almost discussed it, Fang Zhenyue suddenly suggested:
"My house is not far from Li Fuhao's house, we can set up an observation point at my house. "
The White-browed Eagle King immediately decided to set up a small command post at Fang Zhenyue's house and sent three professional detectives in charge of monitoring and investigation to follow them, so as to monitor the situation around Li Fuhao's house and find the two eyes belonging to the kidnappers that were staring at Li Fuhao's house.
Since Jiayi's "Happy Prince" appeared on camera many times, she simply parked the car in the garage of the O-Ji headquarters and took Brother Yue's big jeep instead.
After arriving at Fang Zhenyue's villa, the three detectives sent by O-Ji set out the various professional equipment they brought and requisitioned the living room on the first floor of the villa as an office.
As the host, Fang Zhenyue went to help the three arrange the guest room. room.
Jiayi turned around and saw three detectives busy at work, so she took the opportunity to follow Fang Zhenyue upstairs. When they turned into the corridor where others could not see, she grabbed Fang Zhenyue's hand.
Fang Zhenyue instinctively held her hand back, stopped and turned around. But Jiayi walked past him, dragged him into the guest room where she stayed every time she came, and slammed the door when they both stepped over the threshold.
Jiayi leaned her back against the door, and when she saw Fang Zhenyue turned his head to face her, she stretched
out her hands to him. Fang Zhenyue didn't say anything, but took a step closer to her, and put his hands into her small palms as she wished, then lowered his eyes and looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
"Brother Yue, what happened twenty years ago? "Jiayi pulled him closer, raised her head and looked into his eyes.
The past full of hidden pain is always hard for those who indulge in it.
Let her take the initiative to dig and ask.
Fang Zhenyue looked down at her, and suddenly felt that the wall in his chest seemed to be smashed by something - it seemed like a hot hammer burning with flames.
A courageous woman, she knows what she wants , what is he doing, so firm and strong.
What he wants to tell is how lonely and painful it is to keep a secret that has long been rotten.
But is she really willing to listen to such an embarrassing past?
Moreover, other people's painful past is a huge burden, how can he dump those things on her rudely? He wants to solve these bad things by himself and embrace her in a brand new state...
But she asked.
His back, which had always been as straight as a wall, was leaning towards her. He rested his forehead against hers, lowered his eyebrows, and his eyes were finally no longer disguised. His cold and tough shell turned into sand, revealing the child hidden in the deepest part.
Those emotions that he had never revealed to anyone finally saw the light of day:
loneliness, sensitivity, fear... He also longed for someone to rely on.
It was like the child twenty years ago, who was hit hard by the darkest hammer of reality overnight, and his weak and thin shoulders suddenly carried the lives of his loved ones.
From then on, every minute and every second he had to bear the guilt as heavy as a mountain, and even if he grew up to be a detective who stood tall, he still couldn't get rid of the self-denial.
