Then came the kidnapping incident a few days ago.
Yingzi's full name is Meiying. She is Lei Jiayin's best friend. Her family runs a construction company, which is doing quite well.
On July 12th, they made an appointment to go shopping for clothes. When they arrived at the Chanel store, Meiying said jokingly, "Hey, Jiayin, this pink suit by EL really suits you. Why don't you change your style and buy it?"
Lei Jiayin shook his head like a rattle when he saw the color. Meiying said to coax her, "Forget it, why don't we both try it on? If it fits, I'll buy one too!"
Only then did Lei Jiayin go to the fitting room to change his clothes.
After she changed her clothes and came out of the fitting room, Meiying refused to let her change back in. She kept saying how beautiful it was, so they bought the clothes.
After leaving the EL store, it was almost noon, so the two found a restaurant to eat. Before ordering, they went to the bathroom together.
When Lei Jiayin came out, he didn't see Meiying, so she went back to her seat and ordered food by herself. However, Meiying didn't come back until all the dishes were served, so Lei Jiayin hurried to look for her.
After searching for over two hours, they finally received a call from Meiying, saying that she had just entered the bathroom when she was knocked unconscious. When she woke up, all her belongings were intact, but she had been dumped in a remote alley with her phone turned off. She immediately turned it on and notified Lei Jiayin. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the kidnappers were definitely after Lei Jiayin, not Meiying. Otherwise, they wouldn't have released her without taking anything from her.
When these three things happened, how could Lei Qing and his wife not think too much, especially Lei Qing, who had been in business for many years and whose intelligence was far beyond that of ordinary people. He immediately linked this incident with the kidnapping of his eldest son ten years ago. He made up his mind that no matter what the cost, he would find out the mastermind behind the kidnapping. Otherwise, their family, including his son who was about to return to the Lei family, would live in crisis all day long and would have no peace.
Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, Lei Qing warned again, "You must pay attention to your safety. After all, you are just a girl, and some calculations are hard to guard against. If you find that something is wrong, you must ensure your own safety first, and then do anything else."
In fact, Lei Qing sent Lei Jiayin away, but Liang Yiyi came to replace her, and he felt a little guilty, so he was extremely reluctant to see Liang Yiyi get into any accident.
Liang Yiyi nodded in agreement and then got into the car and left.
"Lei Ming and his family came here today. Did you find anything?" the driver asked.
Liang Yiyi glanced at Liu Jinzhou in the driver's seat and said, "I think we can investigate Lei Ming, but it's very likely that he is not the real murderer!"
"Oh, what makes you think that?"
"Mr. Lei believes that the incident ten years ago where Lei Yunuo was kidnapped and nearly lost his life and the incident this time involving Lei Jiayin were both done by the same person.
"I observed Lei Ming today, and it's clear that his self-control isn't up to par yet. Furthermore, his son Lei Yuxuan said today that his father believed Lei Yunuo was dead. If he was really responsible for the kidnapping ten years ago, there's no way he would have waited ten years before taking action against Lei Jiayin!" Liang Yiyi said with certainty.
Ten years ago, Lei Yunuo was kidnapped. Lei Qing did not dare to call the police, and when talking to the kidnappers, he promised to agree to all the kidnappers' conditions.
However, he secretly told Qi Huairen, who was then the commander of the Beijing Military Region, about the matter.
After Qi Huairen learned about this, he immediately sent out his strongest team of special forces, and rescued Lei Yunuo who was trapped in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Sh City at an incredibly fast speed.
After the rescue was successful, one of the kidnappers was unwilling to give up and detonated the explosives hidden in the warehouse. When Lei Qing and his group arrived at the scene, they were greeted by a raging fire. The couple cried until they were hoarse. It was because of this that outsiders always believed that Lei Yuxuan had died in the kidnapping case a long time ago, and that all the people who kidnapped Lei Yunuo had also died in the explosion.
Afterwards, Qi Huairen informed Lei Qing and his wife that Lei Yunuo had been successfully rescued. Lei Qing and his wife were overjoyed, but afraid that something similar would happen again, so they sent Lei Yunuo, who was only fourteen years old at the time, abroad. They had planned to find out the truth and bring the bad guys to justice before taking their son back, but they didn't expect that the investigation would take a full ten years, and they still don't know who the murderer is.
Therefore, according to Liang Yiyi's idea, Lei Ming witnessed the explosion scene with his own eyes. Since he thought Lei Yunuo was dead at that time, he would not wait until now to kidnap Lei Jiayin. With his temperament, he should have been unable to restrain himself a long time ago, instead of waiting for ten years before taking action against Lei Jiayin.
"That's possible. Lei Yunuo's incident was not done by Lei Ming, but Lei Jiayin's incident was instigated by him!" Bai Ye said.
"If it were just one incident, I would certainly suspect that it was related to Lei Ming. However, three accidents occurred within a month or so. Although they all ended in failure, there was not a single clue left in these three incidents. It is exactly the same as the Lei Yunuo case ten years ago. Just based on that Lei Ming, it's not that I look down on him, but he doesn't have such great ability!"
If he was really that smart, he wouldn't be able to manage a mere travel company!
"So you mean that Lei Ming can be directly cleared of suspicion?" Bai Ye asked.
"This is just my inference. We still have to investigate. Only after we investigate can we prove whether what I said is correct. What if my inference is wrong? Wouldn't that delay important matters?"
Bai Ye and Liu Jinzhou looked at each other and nodded.
"By the way, there is one more thing. I suspect that one of the Lei family's servants was bribed, otherwise Lei Jiayin's whereabouts would not have been known so quickly by the person behind the scenes. So you have to check their bank accounts secretly." Liang Yiyi said with suspicion, but his tone was very certain.
"Then do you doubt the target?"
"Yes, two months ago, a maid named Huang from the Lei family resigned. She said her son suddenly broke his leg and there was no one to take care of him, so the family called her and asked her to come back.
Afterward, the Lei family hired a young servant named Li Li. She was plain-looking, and she looked at me with such disdain that I deliberately frightened her. When I threatened to cut her tongue, she pretended to be terrified, even though she wasn't afraid at all. But when I said I was going to fire her, she immediately bowed and apologized, as if she was terrified of losing her job.
"Working in the Lei family, the salary and benefits are too high, no one would want to give it up, right?" Comrade Xiaobai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
