Dylan led the team to take action, and Jiayi put these things aside for the time being. She continued to repeatedly infer and analyze the kidnappers' situation and ideas with Fang Zhenyue, trying to find a clue.

Fang Zhenyue asked the police station for a high-definition and detailed map near Li Fuhao's home. They needed to use the map to find out where the people who were monitoring Li Fuhao were stationed.

While waiting for the police station to draw the special map and fax it over, Jiayi leaned on the table, drowsy.

There was suddenly more weight on her back, and the warmth of the coat gradually wrapped around her body.

Not knowing whether she fell asleep or how long she slept, she suddenly woke up, slowly opened her eyes, and tried to adapt to the weak light around her.

Her eyes wandered around and soon captured the target.

Brother Yue was sitting by the door, watching over her while reading the documents in his hand in the light from the corridor.

Occasionally, he would raise his head, his eyes cast unfocusedly into the void ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiayi looked at him, and always felt that his expression seemed to reveal determination and a little sadness.

"We will catch them, Brother Yue." Jiayi sat up straight and rubbed her eyes.

Fang Zhenyue came back to his senses and looked at her. With his back to the light in the corridor, he wiped away his sadness and smiled at Jiayi. Then he picked up the map on his lap, immediately stood up and walked towards her, stood by the table, bent down and kissed her head lightly. All his little expressions and movements revealed his dependence and tenderness on her.

It's like a Doberman raised by a single person. He looks dignified and solemn when guarding the gate, but his expression changes instantly when he hears his master's voice or meets his master's gaze. He can't help but run towards his master, wag his tail, rub his nose against his master's legs, and ask for caresses, hugs and kisses with his eyes full of light.

It's as if you are all his love and attachment.

"Brother Yue." Jiayi hugged him gently and touched his back. "Did the map get faxed over?"

"Yes." Fang Zhenyue stood up, rubbed his eyebrows unnaturally, and after a few breaths, handed her the information in his hand and turned on the light.

The two men then bent over the map and began to study -

"The terrain here is too low, even with a telescope you can't see Li Fuhao's villa."

"The shady areas here can also be ruled out. The kidnappers asked Li Fuhao to put a small red flag in the master bedroom window, so it should be at least in the south area."

"The terrain should be higher, facing south, and not blocked by buildings and plants. In fact, there are not many." Fang Zhenyue circled an area with his finger:

"There are many old houses here, but since the construction of the top and middle areas of the mountain began, most of them have been moved away. The area is too small. Would the kidnappers be so kind as to expose themselves?"

"Perhaps there will be some tourists who are hiking and other idle people who will pass by this road. From here, here, and here, they may be able to see the master bedroom window of Mr. Lai's house with a telescope."

Jiayi finished speaking, then raised her head and said:

"Another possibility is that the kidnapper who is squatting here and watching is only doing the task of watching, and does not participate in other tasks including 'kidnapping', 'imprisonment', 'withdrawing and dividing money', etc. He does not even meet with other kidnappers.

"Then the kidnappers will be fearless. On the one hand, we dare not catch him now, for fear that other kidnappers will kill him.

"Secondly, even if we catch him later, it will be difficult to have definite evidence to accuse him. After all, he only does the job of passing on information. First of all, it is difficult to catch him. Secondly, even if we catch him, the degree of conviction will not be as we expect.

"Finally, he only exchanges information with the kidnappers, broadcasts phone calls in a very short time, etc. It is still difficult for us to locate the kidnappers and the two children. As long as he stays here and does not meet the other kidnappers, we dare not catch him now, nor do we dare to influence him at will, and we are still helpless against him."

"What if we can use these eyes?" Fang Zhenyue frowned slightly, vaguely having some ideas.

"Brother Yue, are you talking about passing the information to the person who is following us, not to the kidnappers... to provoke the relationship between the person who is following us and the other kidnappers? "Jiayi sat up straight. After he said that, she was suddenly not sleepy anymore.

"For example, pass on the message that the kidnapper leader is in control of the whole situation, and after getting the money, he may not share the money with others and run away by himself. Or... pass on the message that the person who stays here to follow is likely to become the only kidnapper caught by the police. In order to solve the case, the police may put all the blame on him and let him take the blame for the others." Fang Zhenyue thought violently.

"But how can we make this follower have the urge to merge with the others? "Jiayi felt that there was a chance of provoking him, but what if the result of the provocation was that this person wanted to escape from the team instead of leading the police to find other kidnappers or the place where the children were imprisoned?

Fang Zhenyue frowned and pinched his chin in thought.

Jiayi also thought about it, and the hand holding the marker scribbled involuntarily. Because logic completely occupied her mind, she did not notice that she was painting her own nails.

…

At night, the surroundings were quiet except for the sound of water and some inexplicable noises.

The two children had only drunk some water and had not eaten for a day and a night. They were already dizzy with hunger. They huddled together in a corner to keep warm, falling asleep and waking up groggily. No matter who cried occasionally, the other would hug the other tightly and whisper in the other's ear not to be afraid.

"Can't we really ask for help?" Zhao Qionghui asked in a low voice in Li Zemin's ear.

"We didn't escape before, we were just beaten. If we don't listen, the kidnappers will kill us. My dad used to find someone to teach us brothers and sisters. Believe me, be good. It's useless to ask for help in this situation. We just need to ensure that we stay alive and not be killed. The adults will do the rest. "Li Zemin felt very uncomfortable. He had never stayed in such a dirty, smelly, damp, cold and dark environment. Now he not only felt scared, but also itchy all over, with stomachache and headache.

Fortunately, Ah Fai was there. Although Ah Fai was slow and always had many problems, it was very good to have someone who was willing to cooperate with him and accompany him at this time.

Although he did not cry with Ah Fai, he hugged Ah Fai tightly. The other's body temperature could help him restrain the trembling and the urge to cry.

He also missed his mother, was very hungry, and was very afraid of death...

…

In the far house closest to the sea, although all the lights were turned off, there was still a small light on.

When Lin Yi-po heard that Hong had called back to say that he had negotiated with Mr. Li and mentioned that Mr. Li wanted to redeem the two children together, he stood up and said to the goldfish man:

"Are the two children staying in the houseboat obediently?"

"Yes, they don't make any noise or disturbance." The goldfish man replied.

"Once you have determined which one is Young Master Li, kill the other one." Although Lin Yibo looked kind, his words were particularly cruel.

"Wasn't Mr. Li willing to redeem both?" The goldfish man couldn't help but be surprised.

"We can only release one person in the end and collect the money from both." Seeing that the other party was still a little confused, Lin Yibo felt that he shouldn't do meaningless killing, so he had to explain in detail:

"Do you know what is the most difficult part of being a kidnapper?"

"Understanding the target person and the process of kidnapping?" The goldfish man touched his forehead and guessed casually.

"No, it's for the money." Uncle Lin Yi shook his head. "The police will be setting up a tight net for us by then, and we won't be able to escape. The few times we succeeded before, we were able to get the money so smoothly only after we made sure that the other party didn't call the police.

"This time it's obvious that the police have been involved. Even if they leave Li Fuhao's house, they won't really sit idly by. I'm afraid they are still waiting for an opportunity somewhere, waiting to catch us.

"We made a lot of money on this deal, and it's our last deal. The police have already been alarmed, and there's no point in looking for a new target. We have to take this huge risk.

"Think about it, the world today is different from it was twenty years ago. You can encounter a group of patrol police every two steps, not to mention that the police force is now reorganized and much more sharp than before.

"We have to rack our brains to avoid being caught by the police when taking the money, and finally destroy all clues and evidence to prevent the police from finding us, and we have to return the children. This process has countless links, and each link may be exposed.

"With one more child, the risk is not doubled, but several times.

"First of all, the two children are whispering to each other and I don’t know what they are planning. One child is timid, and two children have the courage to do something. Let’s take the simplest example. If we had tied up only one child before, we wouldn’t have been able to find that the two children had untied each other and tried to escape when we opened the carriage.

"Also, which one is more dangerous, carrying two children of similar age or carrying one child around? "

I understand. But is it okay if there's one less person when we return the child?" The Goldfish Man nodded.

"The reason we return the child is because we're afraid that the child's father will go crazy when he finds out that both the money and the child are gone. If the top tycoons then put pressure on the police and try their best to catch us, we will be under a lot of pressure, and the possibility of living safely with the money will be reduced. Sending the child back adds such a dangerous step, but it's actually to appease the child's powerful relatives.

"As long as the child comes back, they will be jealous that they were in the open and we were in the dark, so they will just consider it a loss to avoid disaster. There's no need to keep fighting us, and they will probably just keep things quiet. Then we'll be fine.

" "So, just return Young Master Li and that's it.

"As for the other child, even if he died, an ordinary family has no power and influence, so how much trouble can it cause? Even if there is a commotion in the end, at most the media will report it for two days, and the police will just go through the motions, but there will be no substantial investigation or arrest."

Lin Yibo waved his hand and smiled,

"Well, we have saved trouble, reduced risks, and reduced a burden, and we can get the money safely, do you understand?"

"I understand." The goldfish man suddenly realized, and then he hoarsely said, "But the two children kept their mouths shut when it came to matters related to their identities. We questioned them for a long time, but couldn't get any information out. I even slapped the two children several times, but they cried, but they didn't say anything."

"..." Lin Yibo frowned, thought for a while and said, "I'll go see them."

...

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the boathouse. The two children immediately pressed themselves against the damp and cold wooden board, their eyes fixed on the direction of the door.

There was a "click" sound of unlocking, followed by a "creak..." sound that made people's teeth ache. The door was opened, and an old man walked in with a cat waist.

He was holding two burgers and two glasses of cold milk. After looking at the two children with wary eyes, he walked over and handed the food to them.

Li Zemin and Ah Hui only stared at the food, and no one dared to reach out to take it.

"Are you all hungry? Eat." The old man smiled at the two of them, and even sat on the ground kindly, nodding to encourage them.

Ah Fai glanced at the old man's open door. The old man immediately caught his expression and shook his head, saying,

"They are outside. Don't even think about escaping. It will anger them. Once caught, you may get beaten."

"Uncle, aren't you in the same group with them?" Ah Fai turned his head to look at Li Zemin who was pursing his lips and not speaking. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke.

"They rented my shed to moor this boat to lock you up, and they are living in my small house.

"You don't have to be afraid. I heard them call Mr. Li. Mr. Li has agreed to give the money, and you can go home soon."

"Yes--" Ah Fai was about to mention Uncle Li, but suddenly remembered that Ah Min had warned him not to reveal his identity. He swallowed his words and asked, "Uncle, can you let us go quietly? You will be rewarded a lot."

"No, that's dangerous." The old man shook his head and pointed at the food in front of him: "Eat something quickly, and save your energy. "

The two children looked at each other, then each reached out to pick up a glass of milk and a hamburger.

Li Zemin was very careful, he ate very slowly, especially taking only a sip of milk. His wary eyes were always fixed on the old man, and from time to time he glanced at the open door and Ah Hui beside him.

The old man sat opposite them, and had been observing the two children's eating habits.

I thought one of them would eat particularly fast, so I could tell which one was the young master and which one was the one who was not caught, but I saw that both of them chewed slowly, one was on guard while eating, and the other wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth while eating...both looked like young masters.

"Which one of you is Li Zemin? I heard from them that the other person who was not caught can be released. "While the old man was telling lies, he observed the two of them. Seeing that they just looked up at him and didn't answer, he continued:

"Is the young master afraid of being locked up here alone, so he forced another person to stay here with him? Or does the other handsome guy not know that his mom and dad are waiting anxiously, so he stayed here and didn't want to reveal his identity?"

Li Zemin's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something was wrong. He didn't dare to turn around and look at Ah Hui, fearing that if he did so, the old man in front of him would see something. He was full of fear for the adult who was stronger and smarter than himself, fearing that his expressions and small movements would reveal something. He just held Ah Hui's hand tightly, gritted his teeth and looked at the old man, but his fingers couldn't help trembling.

Ah Fai felt that Li Zemin was holding him very tightly, and he could not think at all, 'According to what this old man said, Ah Min might have been lying to me. In fact, the kidnappers would not kill me at all, and would let me go home. I must say now that my name is Zhao Qionghui, and I want to go home, and I don’t want to accompany Ah Min in such a dark place.

' Ah Fai only thought, 'Before, Ah Fai said that these people would kill me, but now they seem to say that they will not kill me and will let me go home.' However, his thoughts soon changed and became, 'I can't go home, then Ah Min will be the only one suffering in this place, and he will definitely be scared to death.' When the kidnappers wanted to kill me before, Ah Min took me and bit them to death to prevent them from knowing who was Li Zemin. Now I have to be loyal and still cannot reveal my identity. I have to accompany Ah Min.

Ah Min did not hear Ah Hui's nonsense after being deceived. Instead, he felt the fingers that belonged to Ah Hui, which he was holding tightly, gently clasping himself. He also imitated him and held them tightly...

Lin Yibo waited for a long time, and saw that the two children were still looking at him and eating burgers, and no one spoke. He had to continue chatting with them and continue to look for loopholes between the children, trying to judge who was Li Zemin.

Sometimes adults think they are very smart and that children are simple-minded fools who are easy to fool. However, they do not realize that they are much smarter and understand more things than adults do.

Innocence is indeed naive, but this kind of naivety turns into a kind of stubbornness, which makes them harder to fool than adults who know how to "adapt". !
