After agreeing on the price, or rather, deciding to help, Lin was asked to leave the interrogation room. Jiang Rui took Lin to his office and handed her a glass of water.
"How are you going to take advantage of me?" To be honest, even at this point, Jiang Rui still didn't believe that Lin Xi would really take advantage of me.
"How long has Corey been kidnapped?" Lin asked.
"It's almost two hours." Jiang Rui glanced at Lin Xi warily and answered vaguely.
"Did the kidnappers make any demands? For example, asking for a ransom or something?" Lin asked.
Jiang Rui nodded calmly: "Yes, I called Corey's father ten minutes ago and asked for 10 million."
"Puff!" Lin Xi spat out a mouthful of tea.
"How many?"
"Ten million." Jiang Rui silently reached out and moved his wet document.
"Is his family so rich?" From the way those high school students talked and dressed, it was not difficult to guess that their families were well off, but 10 million was too much.
Jiang Rui observed Lin's reaction from beginning to end, and confirmed that Lin was really shocked and not pretending, then he explained: "Corey's father is the founder of AG Company, and the company's market value..."
"You don't have to tell me." As a fresh graduate who had been looking for a job for half a year, how could Lin Yan not know AG? It was one of the Fortune 500 companies, and she didn't even dare to submit her resume there.
Ten thousand dollars is going to be missing!!!
"Since the kidnappers want money, there is still a chance to seize it." Lin Xi adjusted her mentality and said to Jiang Rui.
"You guys are occupying the land, but you still have conditions?" Is this pseudo-science considered science?
Lin Xi glanced at him, picked up the schoolbag at her feet, took out the big-character poster from it, and handed it over.
She was brought in by the police before she even entered the house, so she carried her schoolbag with her.
Jiang Rui curiously unfolded it and subconsciously read out: "When a witch tells fortunes, she only tells bad luck. If it's not bad luck, she won't charge any money?"
Is this definitely fortune telling and not a curse?
"As you can see, I have only bad luck, which simply means that I can only see a bad future for the unlucky ones."
"Yeah." Jiang Rui didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't interrupt, "So someone planned to kidnap Corey first, and Corey became the unlucky one, so you can take advantage of it."
"Smart." As expected of a police officer, she had strong logical skills, so she didn't need to explain much. "So now if we want to get more information about the kidnappers and Corey, we must find the person who got into trouble because of this. For example..."
"Corey's father, Mr. Green." Jiang Rui said.
"And the police." Lin added.
Jiang Rui was stunned and looked at Lin Yan in confusion.
"Police have to save people, and they may encounter danger while saving people, and get injured." Lin Yan thought of the young policeman just now and explained. If the young policeman just now was in trouble because of this incident, it must be during the process of rescuing the hostages, and it would be best if he could take over again.
Jiang Rui was silent for a moment, then said, "I know what to do. I'll go and make the arrangements."
After saying this, Jiang Rui went out.
Lin Xi felt a little bored and was about to take out her cell phone to check it for a while, but when she touched it, she found nothing and then she remembered that her cell phone was still confiscated by the police.
“……” Oh my god, he is still doubting himself.
Lin Xi was a little angry, but she could also understand it to some extent. If someone had told her a few months ago that there were people who could fly in this world, she would have taken him to see a psychiatrist.
In the police station's office, Corey's father stared at his phone with a worried look on his face. Most of the high school students who called the police had left, except Zhang Shaojie, who said he wanted to help the police solve the case. Zhang Shaojie's father was worried about his son, so he stayed there too.
"Captain Jiang." Zhang Shaojie saw Jiang Rui coming out of the office and stood up quickly.
President Green also came to his senses instantly and looked at Jiang Rui expectantly. It was a rare moment for this business tycoon to show confusion and helplessness.
Jiang Rui looked at the victim's family's reaction, wondering whether to speak up. According to the normal case handling process, they would need to wait until the kidnappers contacted again and determined the transaction location of the ransom before setting up surveillance. Before that, they could do nothing. Jiang Rui had originally planned to do so, but thinking of Zhang Lianqing's call, he walked out again and wanted to give it a try.
"Zhang Shaojie, do you think Lin Xi, the witch who took the organs for you, is an accomplice of the kidnappers?" Jiang Rui asked Zhang Shaojie directly.
Zhang Shaojie was stunned for a moment. Under the gaze of his father and the police, he thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "I think she really knows how to take advantage of others."
Although Zhang Shaojie is still only a high school student, he is very good at mathematics and has a logical thinking far beyond that of ordinary people: "There are too many details in her divination, and these details cannot be controlled by human factors."
For example, the candy man stall, for example, Corey chose the dragon, for example, the child who fell down.
"Okay, then please ask Mr. Green if he is willing to cooperate if the witch is willing to help him take the tangerines." Jiang Rui paused and said, "This is the witch's initiative, not our police's suggestion. If he is not willing, our police will also do our best to help him rescue his son."
Even if Jiang Rui had some intention of trying a last-ditch effort, this intention could not represent the police's intention. If this were to get out, they would say that the police relied on feudal superstition to solve the case. So he deliberately said that the occupation of the stalks was a suggestion made by Lin Xi to prove her innocence.
Zhang Shaojie's eyes lit up when he heard this. To be honest, he had actually thought about asking the witch for help. Now that the witch was willing to help, how could he not agree? He immediately turned around and translated Jiang Rui's words to Mr. Green.
Mr. Green listened but didn't say anything. Zhang Shaojie's father frowned and said to his son, "Ajie, let Mr. Green make his own decision."
He did not stop his son from translating for Mr. Green, but it was inappropriate for his son to strongly suggest that Mr. Green eat some radishes while translating.
"I agree." Mr. Green hesitated for only a few seconds before agreeing, "I'm willing to give it a try."
No matter which country they are from, business people tend to believe in metaphysics to some extent.
Ten minutes later, Lin was taken to the interrogation room, but this time she sat in the police seat, while Jiang Rui, the head of the criminal police team, sat in the recorder seat with a notebook, and Corey's father, Mr. Green, sat opposite Lin. Between the two of them, there was a bowling ball-sized crystal ball, which was still carried in the schoolbag.
As soon as Mr. Green sat down, the black and gold lottery holder in the system turned into a crystal ball, emitting a faint white light. Lin knew at a glance that this was the result of the fortune-telling.
Comparing the two methods, Lin Xi feels that fortune-telling is better. The crystal ball requires her to actively check the image, while the fortune-telling will directly show the result. She can know it at a glance. It is more direct and easier.
"The divination fee is ten thousand." Collect the money first and then do the work.
When Lin Xi said this, everyone in the room was stunned. Jiang Rui froze. Oh no, he forgot to tell them about the money he was asking for. Jiang Rui was about to say that he would pay later, but Zhang Shaojie, who came in with Mr. Green, agreed immediately.
"Okay, I'll transfer it to you now." He took out his cell phone on the spot.
Seeing this, Jiang Rui silently shut up.
He is so young and has such a huge amount of money. He is indeed a second-generation rich. Lin Xin directly reported her Taobao account and waited for Zhang Shaojie to transfer the money before she started to share the money with Mr. Green.
"Put your hands up and tell me your name." Lin Yan said these misleading lines, but she had actually already checked the image in the system.
The video did not show the ransom money that Lin had imagined, but Mr. Green was crying in a ruin with Corey covered in blood in his arms. The video was very short, only ten seconds at most.
Lin Xi opened her eyes, her expression was solemn and her face looked very bad.
"What did you see?" Jiang Rui and Zhang Shaojie asked almost at the same time.
Lin was hesitant and didn't know whether to say it or not, because Corey in the picture was covered in blood and motionless, and she was not sure whether he was dead or alive.
"Wait a minute, let me calculate it again." Lin Xi closed her eyes again and said silently to the system.
"I want to count it again with the signature."
"One point of merit." System.
"make a deal."
The crystal ball faded, and the black and gold stick holder reappeared. After shaking, a bamboo stick fell out.
【Dawson Green, male, 42 years old, cried in the ruins while holding his motionless son.】
“…”
“…………”
What the hell is the difference between this and the information I saw?
"The results of the occupation will not change just because the host changes the occupation situation." said the system.
I didn't want to change the result of the occupation, but where is the information? Why is Mr. Green crying? Is his son dead or just injured? And the location, is it really okay to just write "ruins" in such a perfunctory way?
"The occupation information will not change just because the host changes the occupation situation." said the system.
Lin Yan resisted the urge to curse and opened her eyes again. She finally understood that the system clearly didn't want her to get stuck in a bug. She originally thought that the signature could give her the address directly, because the cause and effect of the last time she hijacked the takeaway boy were clearly written.
"How is it?" Several people looked at Lin Nan.
Lin thought for a moment and told the truth: "I saw you crying in a ruin holding your son."
Jiang Rui frowned slightly, and Zhang Shaojie looked solemn, but they still quickly translated the result to Mr. Green.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of occupying the husks. I will reward you with one point of merit and ten yuan of divination money."
卦金十元？我明明收的是一萬啊？林媗雖然疑惑，但這時候也沒心思去探究。
“為什麽？我為什麽會抱着Corey哭泣，Corey他怎麽了？”格林先生激動的問道。
“我只看到這些，其他的我也不清楚，不過Corey看起來樣子不大好，身上都是血。”林媗道。
“WHY？！”格林先生頓時更加激動了，幾乎要撲上去抓林媗的肩膀，最後還是蔣睿出面把兩人隔開，又讓張紹傑父子好好安撫格林先生，而他自己則一個人留在問詢室裏，繼續詢問林媗細節。
“你看到的廢墟是什麽樣子的？”蔣睿問。
“像是一個廢棄工廠，有很多生鏽的東西。”林媗仔細的回憶着。
“還有別的嗎？一些其他的細節，最好是可以鎖定位置的。”
林媗再一次的回憶了一下：“氣球，一個紅色的氣球，飄在天空上，好像還拉着一個很長的橫幅，上面好像還有字，有一個字好像是五，但我也不太确定。”
影像太短了，而且那個氣球是天空中的一個背景，并不清晰。
“還有別的嗎？”蔣睿一邊問一邊記錄着。
“沒有了。”林媗搖了搖頭，占蔔的主要對象是格林先生，所以整個畫面是以他為主的。
蔣睿蹙了蹙眉，起身出去布置任務：“查一下全晉市所有正在搞慶祝的商場，開業典禮，還是什麽其他的，只要有紅氣球的地方都給我找出來。然後看看那周圍有沒有廢棄的工廠。”
林媗能看到橫幅上的字，就證明距離不會太遠。
“老大，你真相信那女的會占蔔啊。”有人質疑道。
“讓你查你就查，廢什麽話。”蔣睿把人罵了出去，他不是相信林媗，他相信的是楚連青。
林媗被留在問詢室裏，等了一會兒，發現沒人管她了。
不是都說了，除了格林先生，警察也要占蔔的嗎？剛剛那個蔣隊長是不是給忘記了，還是說自己開的價格太高，吓的他們不敢占蔔了？對于警察而言，一萬塊錢一卦好像确實是高了點，但可以讓格林先生出嘛。相比于綁匪要求的一千萬，這點占蔔費算什麽。
林媗掙紮了一番，終究還是不忍心，推門走了出去。算了，他們不來占蔔，自己過去就是了。
林媗開始在警局裏溜達，有意無意的湊近每一個刑警三米範圍之內，蔣睿自然也注意到了林媗的怪異舉動，但見她只是來回走動，也不亂看亂翻，甚至沒有離開警局的想法，便随她去了。
林媗花了一個多小時的時間，和每一個刑警都保持了三米內的占蔔距離，但占蔔系統并沒有再次啓動。也就是說，除了之前那個叫柴溥心的警察小哥哥外，其他人都不會出事。
林媗想了想，還是決定再占蔔一次，或許可以得到更多的線索。于是她主動走到柴溥心面前，再一次開啓占蔔：以水晶球的形式再占蔔一次。
“扣除一點功德值。”
随着扣除功德值的提示音響起，一副畫面也悄無聲息的展開了，畫面中柴溥心四肢張開，仰躺在地上，腦後不斷有鮮血湧出，他的身軀顫抖着，但雙眼卻直直的盯着上方。
血腥的畫面讓林媗有些生理不适，她倒抽一口氣，後退一步，撞在身後的桌子上，險些摔倒。
“你沒事吧。”柴溥心詫異的看了林媗一眼。
“沒事。”林媗搖了搖頭。
從水晶球展示出來的畫面，林媗幾乎可以斷定，柴溥心應該是從高處墜落而亡的。可除此之外她依舊沒有獲得更多的信息，整個畫面裏依舊昏暗，除了粗糙的水泥地板，什麽多餘的線索都沒有。
時間一分一秒的走着，蔣睿沒有找到林媗描述中的廢棄工廠，綁匪也沒有再來電話，林媗無事可做，最後實在扛不住便趴在椅子上睡着了。
一直到早上九點，綁匪的電話才再次打了過來。
“快，注意監聽。”
林媗被驚醒，但她人還沒有徹底清醒，那邊電話已經打完了。
“綁匪要求格林先生在今天中午12點，帶着一千萬現金去子午路的馬泰商場。”
“開什麽玩笑，他知道一千萬現金有多重嗎？就是給他送過去，他拿的走嗎？”蔣睿總覺得不對，一千萬現金足有一百公斤，目标太大了，根本就不可能悄無聲息的拿走。而且對方只給了格林先生一晚上的時間籌措現金，這麽短時間怎麽可能籌集的了一千萬。
“先去子午路布控。”雖然覺得奇怪，但起碼有了明确的地點。
“老大，你看這個。”這時候一個年輕的警察舉着手機從裏面沖了出來。
蔣睿接過一看，只瞅了一眼，便豁然轉頭看向林媗。
林媗正揉着酸痛的脖子，見蔣睿用一種仿佛見鬼的眼神看着她，下意識的挺直了腰杆。
“幹嘛？”林媗問。
蔣睿直接推開身邊的小警察，大步朝林媗走了過去，指着手機裏正在播放的視頻問道：“你看到的氣球是這個樣子的嗎？”
林媗看着手機，只見蔣睿拿着的手機裏正播放着一段抖音小視頻，視頻中一只原本被固定在廣場中心的氫氣球不知道怎麽的斷了線，正拖着長長的橫幅飛向天空，橫幅上的字清晰可見。
【熱烈慶祝正泰廣場開業一周年，全場五折。】
背景裏還有視頻拍攝者的笑聲：“哈哈哈，是一個熊孩子把繩子給解開的，孩子媽媽正在那道歉呢。”
“是不是這個？”蔣睿再次追問。
“我也不确定，但看着很像。”
蔣睿立刻轉身：“給我查，正泰廣場周圍，有沒有廢棄的工廠？”
如果說蔣睿之前對于林媗的占蔔将信将疑，那麽這一刻他相信了，只因為剛剛那段視頻裏還有一個碩大的電子時鐘。時鐘裏顯示的時間，是十分鐘前。也就是說，那顆氫氣球是十分鐘前，才飛上天空的。
而且，橫幅裏有“五”這個字。
“查到了。”昨天晚上蔣睿已經讓底下的警員查過晉市內所有的廢棄工廠或者類似于廢棄工廠的地方，這時候再加上正泰廣場這個坐标，很快就鎖定了目的地，“是一家造紙廠，因為環境污染，六年前遷走的。”
“一組二組跟我走，劉副隊，你帶着三組留守，繼續監聽綁匪電話。”蔣睿說完，起身就往外走。
“是。”一聲應和，十幾個刑警拿上裝備跑了出去。林媗瞅見了其中一個熟悉的身影，啊了一聲，急忙起身追了出去。可她的速度哪裏追的上行動迅速的刑警隊員們，等她追到門口，警車都已經出發了。
林媗急的不行，占蔔結果她還沒告訴柴溥心。她只得急急轉了回去，順手抓着一個警察：“給你們隊長打電話，我有事跟他說。”
那個警察愣了一下，但想到剛才的視頻，還是拿出電話，給自家隊長撥了過去。
“什麽事？”
“柴溥心，之前進審訊室喊你的那個年輕警察。”林媗開口直接說出占蔔結果，“我占蔔到他會從高處墜落，因公殉職。”
電話那頭瞬間安靜下來。
“不管你信不信，別讓他去高處。”林媗叮囑道。
“知道了。”蔣睿頓了一下，又道，“謝謝。”
林媗松了口氣，把手機還給手機的主人。年輕警察接過手機，驚駭的望着林媗：“你說的是真的？”
“我餓了，有吃的嗎？”林媗已經不想解釋了，是不是真的，很快就知道了。
二十分鐘後，警車停在了造紙廠外，蔣睿帶着一組人悄無聲息的摸了進去。一進入工廠，他們就聽到了裏面說話的聲音。
“你們誰懂鳥語，那外國小子說什麽呢，聽不懂。”
“是不是要尿尿，綁一晚上了。”
“別管他，等三點一過，一百萬就到手了。”
“可惜了，要是真能弄個一千萬就好了。”
“算了吧，風險太大，還是現在好，只要我們不出去，誰也不知道我們在哪裏。”
蔣睿聽到這裏已經可以确定Corey人就在這裏，他朝手下打了個手勢，衆人繼續朝樓內潛伏而去。
蔣睿剛潛伏到一樓樓梯口，正要上去，忽然聽到上面一陣激烈的叫罵聲：“草，那小子跑了。”
接着便是急促的腳步跑動聲，和綁匪罵罵咧咧的追趕。
蔣睿再顧不得躲藏，拔腿就往樓上跑：“別動，警察。”
蔣睿跑到一半，忽然像是想到了什麽，回頭朝正要跟上來的年輕警察喊了一句：“小柴，你在下面等着。”
年輕警察一愣，但還是聽話的留在了樓下。
而此時的三樓，好容易掙脫繩子逃出房間的Corey，被三個綁匪逼到了一處高臺上，身後是生鏽的欄杆。就在他退無可退的時候，蔣睿一聲爆喝，驚退了三個綁匪，三個綁匪轉身就跑，誰也顧不上Corey。
Corey saw the police officers pouring in from below and knew he was saved. He heaved a sigh of relief and squatted on the ground. His arm accidentally brushed against the rusty railing, and with a snap, the railing broke.
Corey was sweating coldly. If he had taken one more step back, he would have leaned on it.
The three kidnappers obviously didn't expect the police to find this place. They wanted to run away but it was too late. They were soon surrounded by the police. Two of the three were pinned to the ground. Only one of them was very agile and jumped directly from a broken staircase to the other side.
Chai Puxin, who stayed behind, saw this and without thinking, he chased up from the other side of the stairs. When Jiang Rui found him, Chai Puxin had already climbed to the third floor opposite.
"Xiao Chai!" Jiang Rui felt a chill all over his body and jumped over the broken stairs.
Seeing that the road below was blocked by the police, the kidnapper turned around and ran upstairs. Chai Puxin followed him all the way upstairs. When he reached the fifth floor, a huge iron barrel suddenly fell from above. Chai Puxin quickly dodged, but the stairs at the corner were too narrow, and his shoulder was hit directly by the iron barrel, causing him to fall outside the railing.
"Fuck you..." Jiang Rui flew over.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the extended mission and helping Chai Puxin avoid bad luck. The reward is 10 merit points and 0 yuan for divination."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the extended mission and helping Dawson Green avoid bad luck. The reward is 9 merit points and 0 yuan for divination."
After two alerts were sent, Lin finally let go of her worries and smiled. But she said nothing and waited there as if nothing had happened until Deputy Captain Liu received a call and confirmed that the hostages had been rescued. The entire police force cheered.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Rui came back with the three kidnappers. The first thing he did was not to interrogate them, but to return Lin Xi's cell phone to her.
"Have I been cleared of suspicion?" Lin Wei asked with a smile.
Jiang Rui laughed, then thought of something, took out his phone and said, "Add WeChat."
Lin raised her eyebrows.
"How can I transfer 10,000 yuan to you without adding WeChat?" Jiang Rui said, "Chai Puxin only suffered minor injuries, thank you."
Lin Xi could feel the sincerity in Jiang Rui's thanks. She felt good about accepting the money for saving a life. But when she thought about the dangers the other party had encountered in the process of catching criminals, she felt embarrassed to accept the ten thousand yuan.
"Forget it, just consider it as a free fortune telling. Can I leave now?" Lin Nan asked.
Jiang Rui just thought that it was because of his previous bad attitude that Lin Xi didn't want to add him on WeChat, so he didn't force it. Anyway, he had Lin Xi's contact information, so if he needed help in the future, he could just look for her.
"Okay, but don't you want to know the ins and outs of the kidnapping? The other party doesn't seem to be planning to ask for a ransom."
"This has nothing to do with me." Lin Yan just wanted to go home and take a good bath. If the watermelon that fell yesterday was still there, she would deal with it herself before the cleaning lady found it.
After coming out of the police station, the first thing Lin Xin did was to open her mobile phone and check her Taobao account. She found that her Taobao balance was still in four digits.
That's not right. What about the 10,000 I earned yesterday? Didn't I transfer it in?
Lin immediately clicked on the transfer details and saw two transfers made one second apart at 23:55 last night.
【At 23:55:31, Zhang** transferred 10,000 yuan to you. 】
【At 23:55:32, you transferred 9990 yuan to the ** Rescue Fund. 】
"SYSTEM!!!!"
