Chapter 136 A Critical Moment
Donglan Wharf.
"Captain Xing, there are so many ships docked in the port. It will take a lot of time to check them one by one." After deploying the task, the police officer reported to Xing Kai via the walkie-talkie.
"Reinforcements are arriving soon. We will focus on searching outbound vessels, paying particular attention to cargo ships passing through Southeast Asia."
"receive."
Almost all members of the Donglan City Public Security Bureau were dispatched, and reinforcements from Mincheng were already on the way. From the moment they received the order, they understood that this was definitely not an ordinary kidnapping case. The people involved and the events behind it were of great significance.
"Captain Xing, signs of confinement and daily life were discovered in an abandoned warehouse 10 kilometers from Donglan Port. Signs of a struggle and a large amount of blood were also found in the woods approximately 3 kilometers away. Preliminary analysis suggests the hostages attempted to escape but were recaptured by the suspects. Analysis of footprints and wheel tracks at the scene indicates that four suspects drove into Donglan Port with two hostages. Port surveillance footage is currently being retrieved. Biological samples have been sent for testing and are being compared with the database."
Xing Kai, captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Donglan City Public Security Bureau, nodded after hearing the police officer's report. The task suddenly issued by the superiors should not be underestimated, and he did not dare to neglect it at all. Fortunately, there are now a lot of clues, and finding the hostages is only a matter of time. Now he just hopes that the kidnappers will not do anything desperate.
The police quickly locked onto the target ship through surveillance video. It was an A-class cargo ship that departed from Donglan Port, passed through the Strait of Malacca, passed through Southeast Asian countries, and finally arrived at the Port of Rotterdam.
The freighter was immediately blocked by the police, who began to check each cargo hold one by one. However, due to the huge freighter and the tens of thousands of containers it was carrying, it would take a very long time.
Fortunately, there was help from the police dog.
After searching the abandoned warehouse, several police dogs were brought in to perform odor source extraction, and they are now assisting in the on-site investigation.
"Boss, something's wrong outside." Scarface went out to observe for a while, then reported to the bearded man with a nervous look.
"The cops are coming?"
The bearded man did not expect the police to act so quickly this time. In the past, they would always wait for the time difference of cross-provincial investigation.
Scarface nodded and continued:
"All the ships in the harbor have been controlled. They are searching them one by one. Sooner or later, they will find our ship."
"Damn it, let's fight them." The bald man was still very angry. Unlike Scarface, he still had some rationality. He just wanted to solve the problem with violence.
"You won't be able to escape if you fight hard." Scarface stopped him.
"Don't forget, we still have bargaining chips in our hands." The bearded man nodded at the mountain of containers behind him.
The helicopter landed smoothly on the open space of Donglan Port. Su Qingyan jumped down first and walked quickly towards Xing Kai under the guidance of the police officer.
"Captain Xing, this is the family member of one of the hostages."
"Hello, Xing Kai from the Criminal Investigation Detachment. Director Zhang has already told me the general situation." Xing Kai extended his hand to Su Qingyan.
A family that can achieve a prominent reputation in Mincheng also has extraordinary influence across the country. Xing Kai has heard of the Su family, but he does not have much good feelings towards these families.
"Have you found the person?" Su Qingyan asked hurriedly.
"We have identified the ship where the kidnappers are hiding, and we are now checking the cargo holds one by one." Xing Kai said as he walked quickly towards the cruise ship.
This news was mixed news for Su Qingyan, and he immediately followed Xing Kai's steps.
"Mr. Su, it's not convenient for you to follow us." Xing Kai winked at the police officer next to him.
The police immediately stopped Su Qingyan.
"Get out of the way, I want to go over." Su Qingyan said in an irritable tone and used his arms to block the police officer.
The police officer didn't expect Su Qingyan to resist, and was caught off guard and almost pushed down by him.
"Be careful, be careful."
Lu Ze quickly supported the officer, sweat dripping from his forehead. He muttered to himself, "Why does Su Qingyan never know how to control his temper? This isn't Mincheng... Why is he still so reckless?"
Xing Kai's forehead veins popped up when he saw Su Qingyan's attitude. He hated these rich young men who acted bossy and ignored the rules the most.
"Captain, we will definitely not interfere with your work. We will just follow behind and strictly abide by the rules."
Lu Ze said as he pulled Su Qingyan behind him.
"Don't make any noise once you're on the boat." Xing Kai gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.
Su Qingyan's heart was beating like a drum. He also understood that he could not help much in this situation and might even be a hindrance, but he really couldn't just wait for the result in the back.
"Brother, I'm sorry for what happened just now." Su Qingyan followed the police officer who was almost pushed down by him.
The police officer shook his head expressionlessly.
Su Qingyan then trotted to Xing Kai's side.
"Captain Xing, are there two hostages?"
"Yeah." Xing Kai replied simply.
Su Qingyan then turned to Lu Ze, asking him with his eyes what was going on.
Lu Ze shook his head in confusion.
"Captain Xing, can you tell me who the other hostage is?"
Su Qingyan had never been so humble to anyone outside.
"No comment."
The fact that Xing Kai was able to bring two unrelated people to the scene was already the last bottom line. Saying one more word at the critical moment might cause further complications.
Su Qingyan was forced to shut his mouth. He clenched his fists and continued to move forward behind them.
Seeing Su Qingyan like this, Lu Ze secretly felt that it was not worth it for him to do this. What kind of feelings could be worth him giving so much?
Then he started to feel uneasy again, not for any other reason, but because he suddenly remembered that he had been passionately scolding Zhou Cheng on the microphone the day before, and now he had completely reversed his attitude and his feelings were stronger than gold.
The space in the container was small and the air flow was slow. Zhou Cheng leaned against a wooden board on one side to support his body, while Jiang Xingyao fiddled with the rope tied to his hand.
Because they were tied together, Zhou Cheng could clearly feel every movement of Jiang Xingyao. If the movement was a little bigger, it would hurt his wound. This also had a little advantage, as the pain would not cause Zhou Cheng to faint directly.
Jiang Xingyao thought to himself, Zhou Cheng is so badly injured, could he die here? He himself is tied to the corpse, that scene...
Perhaps he was stimulated by his own thoughts, and after his unremitting efforts, he actually broke free from the ropes.
After being untied, he went straight to the two bottles of water, anxiously unscrewed one, and drank it all in one breath.
"Do you want some water?"
Jiang Xingyao thought about how Zhou Cheng didn't betray him in the critical moment in the woods before, so he felt guilty and handed the water to him.
Zhou Cheng shook his head and didn't answer it.
Jiang Xingyao ate two more biscuits and regained some strength. Then he realized that Zhou Cheng was still tied up, so he went to untie the rope for him.
The closed container door was opened with a bang, and the three kidnappers stood at the door again.
