The attraction of gems is much greater than ransom money.

The kidnappers' greed overcame their reason and began to plot a plan to rob the gems. They used threats and inducements to try to pry the location of the villa out of Jiang Baiyan's mouth.

Jiang Baiyan was very careful. He didn't dare to say it, nor could he pour it out all at once. He pretended to recall: "I don't know, Dad has many villas... He said that in order to protect the gems, he specially hired someone to renovate them."

This was a clear clue. The kidnappers decided to investigate the villas under the chairman's name to see which one had been renovated recently.

And the time they spent investigating was his chance to delay the discovery.

At night, he turned on his mobile phone and told J the news.

J praised him.

- Well done

- I'm obedient, don't abandon me

- I won't leave you alone, don't give up either

- OK

- How many people are there in total? When are there the least people, how many should be left to watch over you?

- 6, at least 2

- Don't let them take you away, try to figure out the structure of the room, and wait for news

- How long do you have to wait?

- Remember my story? You will definitely be saved before the end

- I believe in you, don't lie to me

- I won't lie to you, have you guessed the cat's name?

- Pudding

- Great! You guessed it right, Pudding is the cutest cat in the world

He held the phone and couldn't help but smile.

Just like before, after a while, new chocolates rolled in, not only a note with Pudding on it, but also a new story to follow.

This time, she wrote about the ins and outs of the theft of the gems, focusing on describing the structure and topography of the villa, as if everyone was a suspect.

At the end of the story, she asked: Among the three suspects, who is most likely to have stolen the gems?

Jiang Baiyan didn't want to disappoint her expectations.

During the day, he tried to please the kidnappers, took the initiative to help them pour water, take things, and take the opportunity to familiarize himself with the environment. At night, he tried hard to guess the murderer and looked forward to the moment when the phone was turned on.

-Did you guess who the thief was?

-No, I'm too stupid to guess, I'm sorry

-No need to apologize, you're not stupid

-But I can't guess, you must be disappointed

-Not at all, because none of the three of them are thieves

-Really?

-Of course, I won't lie to you

She sent a new follow-up, and it turned out that it was not any of the three suspects, but the owner of the grocery store who suddenly became suspicious.

At the end, she asked again: The enthusiastic and kind grocery store owner was arrested. Is he the criminal who stole the gems?

Jiang Baiyan hoped he was not.

So, he really was not the criminal. When the boss's child was crying, he met a white kitten that fell from the sky. She promised to help him find the truth.

At this time, the kidnappers had already determined the location of the villa and began to think about how to rob it.

Jiang Baiyan ruthlessly betrayed the chairman: "Secretary Gao next to Dad should be able to go in."

Note that the kidnappers are desperate criminals, not big thieves, so they are too lazy to investigate the security system. Their plan is simple and crude, but very effective-directly kidnap Secretary Gao.

Kidnapping one is the same as kidnapping two.

And this time it is even simpler.

They issued an ultimatum, requiring the chairman to personally deliver the ransom, and at the same time, asked Secretary Gao to prepare a car to a certain place.

In this way, even if the police are called, the police will prioritize protecting the chairman's safety.

The kidnappers split into two groups. Two of them lure the tiger away from the mountain and pretend to get the ransom, while the other three kidnapped Secretary Gao and robbed the villa.

The last person stayed behind to watch the hostage Jiang Baiyan. If anything goes wrong, he can take him away and run away.

This is also Jiang Baiyan's only chance to escape.

-I will help you lure them away, and you will find a way to escape when you hear the whistle

-Is it really possible? Maybe they took the gem and ran away

. -They would kill you before that. You saw their faces.

-What if you can't run away?

-No problem. You are already familiar with this place

. -They always lock me in the room before leaving

. -When you hear me whistle, one long and one short, you try to get into the toilet. There is a window in the toilet, right?

-Yes.

-The toilet is on the second floor. He won't be too worried. At most, he will lock you in the toilet. Then, you can use the method I taught you to climb down from the window. -It

's too high. I can't do it

. -Didn't I give you a rope? One end is tied to the door, the other end is tied around the waist, wrapped around one leg, and the rope is released while crawling. It's okay, look at the picture I drew for you carefully.

-Okay, I will do as you say .

-Wait until I blow three short sounds, and then you come down. Do you understand?

-Got it.

Jiang Baiyan behaved very well when he was with the kidnappers, and never thought of escaping. The kidnappers also never paid attention to the air vents in the room.

The window was so small and more than 2 meters above the ground. A primary school student in the empty room could not climb out no matter what.

They never dreamed that next to this rented house was another community, and the resident on the third floor of the community was a junior high school girl who wrote mystery novels.

Unfortunately, she was hit by the flu in early spring. She was recovering at home. She was bored and looked around with a telescope.

Then, she found something unusual.

Most of the houses in the community separated by a wall were self-built houses, two-story buildings and three-story buildings, which were mostly rented out to migrant workers. Therefore, although the turnover of residents was large, they all had one thing in common: they all left early and returned late.

However, the family living next door to her was really strange.

There were a total of 6 adult men, and they always went out in pairs, while the others stayed at home for a long time.

How did they get the money if they didn't go out to work?

She became curious and watched them for two consecutive days. She found that this group of people did not cook for themselves, and sent people out to buy fast food at mealtime.

There is a problem, definitely a problem.

She changed several angles and peeked into the room opposite with a telescope, and finally caught a glimpse of a child. He was timid, short, and was ordered around, but his school uniform was a very Western style.

As a junior high school student, she immediately realized that this was not the school uniform of any public school.

It should be a style only available in private schools.

But the tuition fees of private schools are expensive, and migrant workers cannot afford it. In addition, she had never seen the child go out during the past few days, even though it was a school day. She boldly guessed that he was kidnapped.

Using a slingshot, she successfully sent a message and confirmed her reasoning.

But the rescue was not easy.

She considered calling the police, but unfortunately, the estimated success rate was too low.

No one would believe a child's words, and even if they did, at most they would send two people to check. Maybe they could fool them and just make a fool of themselves. If they couldn't fool them, six tall and strong men would be able to kill them easily. By then, once they ran away, the safety of the hostages would be in jeopardy. If she was unlucky

and found out that she was the one who called the police, her whole family might be retaliated against.

Out of various considerations, she decided to give up arresting the criminals and just save people.

Fortunately, the plan was implemented smoothly.

The kidnappers estimated that the best time to escape was at night, so the plan was implemented in the afternoon. They wanted to take advantage of the evening rush hour to get rid of the pursuit of all parties.

At around two o'clock, the first group of people left.

At three o'clock, the second group left.

There was only one person left in the house.

Jian Jing's plan was very simple. She carried her schoolbag and turned into the next community. In the afternoon, all the residents here were working outside, and she hardly met anyone.

She blew two slogans with a whistle, one long and one short, then turned to a hidden place and observed the toilet window.

Ten minutes later, a figure was reflected inside.

Then, she piled the waste paper collected in her schoolbag in the corner, set it on fire, and added two cigarettes.

A large amount of smoke rose.

She called 119, reported her address, and asked the fire department to come and put out the fire.

At this time, an unexpected situation occurred. The guard inside did not come out to check for some reason. She had to take the risk to knock on the door.

"Fire!" She shouted loudly, and finally called out the kidnapper who stayed behind.

He was horrified and immediately returned to the kitchen to get water.

Jian Jing ran away quickly, and at the same time, blew the agreed whistle again.

A rope was lowered crookedly from the window.

The second accident came.

He couldn't climb down, and his movements were too slow. The kidnapper had already discovered the truth of the fire after two buckets of water. The fire was quickly extinguished, leaving only scattered sparks.

Jian Jing had no other choice but to use her last resort: "Stop!"

The kidnapper was not smart, but not stupid. Seeing her sudden appearance, even though he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, he knew that there was definitely something wrong with her: "Is it you?!"

"I poured gasoline there." She held up the alcohol lamp that she brought from the laboratory and threatened, "If you move, I'll throw it over."

The kidnapper paused for a moment to think about the truth of her words.

This bought her a minute.

"Stinky girl!" The kidnapper quickly gave up trying to distinguish, and relying on his tall and strong body, he rushed over and snatched the alcohol lamp from her hand.

At this time, Jian Jing, who was 1.5 meters tall, had always failed the physical education exams and had not yet been favored by the golden finger. Facing such an imposing adult, she had no chance of winning.

She made the wisest decision, threw out the alcohol lamp, turned around and ran.

After all, the kidnappers were afraid that the alcohol lamp would ignite the gasoline and burn themselves, so their first reaction was to stop and reach out to catch the lamp to avoid falling to the ground.

There was another three seconds - only three seconds, and the kidnappers would immediately understand that it was not alcohol, but just a prop filled with water.

Before that, Jian Jing seized the opportunity and circled to the toilet window.

Jiang Baiyan was hanging in the air, clumsily unable to get down.

"Jump!" She commanded calmly, "There's no time!"

The poor hostage had a pale face, and after messing up everything, he insisted on his only advantage. He didn't want to be hated or abandoned by her, so despite being extremely scared, he still let go of her hand.

Boom.

He fell to the ground.

The second floor was not high, so it hurt a lot but he was not seriously injured.

"Run!" Jian Jing grabbed him and ran with more strength than she had ever run in 800 meters.

The kidnappers knew something was wrong and chased after her.

But at this time, Jian Jing's advantage came.

This was the home where she had lived for more than ten years. She knew everyone in the shops on the street at the entrance of the community. Without hesitation, she rushed into the nearest grocery store and said to the boss: "Help! He's trying to rob me!"

The boss was shocked and looked at the kidnapper in surprise, shouting: "What are you doing?!"

"They stole my wallet." The kidnapper was also quite smart.

Jian Jing was very calm and had the style of the future: "Then I will call the police now and see who robs who."

The kidnapper glared at her and hesitated for a moment, but the boss immediately picked up a broom and made a gesture to hit him. He immediately knew that the hostage could not be saved, and the best way was to evacuate quickly, take the gem and leave. Anyway,

the ransom money was in place and the secretary was kidnapped, so he should get away quickly.

He turned and ran.

Jian Jing didn't dare to leave, and bought some drinks in the canteen. After the fire truck came, he pulled him away.

Jiang Baiyan didn't expect to be able to escape. He looked dazed and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Where is your home? Ask your parents to pick you up." Jian Jing said.

He came to his senses and shook his head vigorously: "I won't go back."

She was puzzled: "Why?"

"They want me dead." He said softly, "If I go back, I will die."
