Sakura Avenue is one of the newly built urban projects in Heping City. It is planted with the most well-known Somei Yoshino cherry. At the end of March, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the entire road will be occupied by pink petals, like a dream.

But now it is summer, the cherry blossoms have long withered, and the location is relatively remote. There are few pedestrians on the road, and only a few vehicles come and go.

It is not difficult to guess why the kidnappers chose this place - there are few people here, and the surveillance has not yet been fully covered.

After arriving, Brother-in-law Si found a place to park and wait for the kidnappers to notify him.

The sunlight was very strong. He sat in a chair blankly, lost in thought for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, until the phone rang, and he woke up from a dream.

"I'm here." He swallowed his saliva and his voice was hoarse.

The kidnapper said, "Drive from south to north and stop by the sixth trash can."

Si's brother-in-law started the engine and found the place.

The sixth trash can was no different from the other trash cans, the only difference being that there was a special hook on top.

"Hang the box on it and you can go."

The handle of the box fits the hook perfectly, and once it is hung, the hidden magnet will be tightly locked and difficult to loosen. Then, whether it was remote control or automatic sensing, the line on the hook began to retract automatically, carrying the box and slowly rising, and finally disappeared in the green shade of the tree.

Not to mention the people who happened to pass by, even Si's brother-in-law, who looked under the tree for a long time, could not see where the box was hidden.

"Okay." He asked tentatively, "What about my son..."

"Wait for notification."

The call was immediately hung up.

Si's husband hesitated under the tree for a while, but still followed the instructions and drove away.

He called his wife: "The things have been given."

"Where is the child?" Si's second sister asked anxiously.

Si's husband said anxiously: "He said he would notify us..."

Si's second sister suddenly raised her voice: "What?"

Si's husband was in a panic: "That's it, he hung up the phone."

"You--" Si's second sister wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. Si Yingjie next to her advised: "If you don't have money, make it again. Just do what the kidnappers ask for first. Cong Cong's safety is the most important."

Si's second sister nodded reluctantly: "Yes, then you come back. We-we will wait a little longer."

"It's okay." Si's husband comforted helplessly, but he didn't even believe it himself.

Cong Cong...can he really come back safely?

The car went away, and the clouds blocked the dazzling sun, and the light suddenly dimmed.

For a moment, the road was empty, with only an occasional car flying by.

The wind blew through the treetops, and a noisy sound rang out. Along with a few green leaves falling, a drone flew out from the shade of the tree, circled in the sky twice, and after confirming that there was no one, it suddenly rose and flew to the nearest building.

However, the drone only stayed on the roof of the building for a while. Ten minutes later, it took off again, turned back to the direction just now, crossed the cherry blossom avenue, and turned into the fork in the road.

There, an ordinary black car had been waiting for a long time.

The drone landed and was taken back by the people inside. But after removing the wooden box, he installed an identical box on it, started it again, and flew in another direction.

At the same time, the car drove away.

It seemed to be the most ordinary car on the road, and it slowly stopped in front of a cheap hotel.

The driver did not come out, but opened the wooden box, poured out the diamonds in the bag, and checked them one by one. It seemed that there was no problem, but when he touched the largest sapphire, his fingertips seemed to touch something foreign.

He was startled and immediately picked it up to check it in the sun.

The sapphire was stunningly beautiful, like a pool of sea water, but under the light, you could vaguely see that there seemed to be a layer of transparent film on the surface, and the glossiness was slightly deviated.

He carefully slid it and soon tore off a small disc. It was as thin as a sticker, and there was no trace of the chip when he pinched it. It didn't look like any instrument. But for the sake of caution, he immediately lowered the window and prepared to throw it out.

But at the moment the window was lowered, a pungent breath poured in through the gap.

His eyes were stinging and he couldn't open his eyes at all. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely lose the ability to move. However, this man reacted quickly. He immediately covered his eyes with his arms, started the car, and reversed regardless.

At the same time, he opened the windows and air conditioning, trying to quickly disperse the mist.

To be fair, his speed was not slow, but at the same time he started the car, the attacker had already reached in and opened the door from the inside.

The moment the car reversed, the man also grabbed his collar.

"Don't move." The other party threatened, "My knife is on your neck."

He felt it.

The sharp blade was pressed against his throat, and his hair stood on end.

"Stop the car." The other party supported the car door with his hands and stepped on the car, maintaining his advantage with a difficult posture in kung fu movies.

He had to step on the brakes and distinguish this Cheng Yaojin from the narrow field of vision.

It was the writer that the family had found.

Wasn't she led away?

"If you catch me, the child will die immediately." He reacted quickly and threatened immediately, "Find out which is more important, money or people."

"So you have an accomplice?" Jian Jing smiled.

The kidnapper glanced at her and didn't answer.

"It doesn't matter if there is an accomplice." She said nonchalantly, "Anyway, money is something that is more satisfying to one person than to share it with two people."

The kidnapper sneered.

"Where is the child?" Jian Jing asked, "If you don't tell me, you should consider the consequences."

"This is the city, and you are a public figure. Are you going to kill someone?" The kidnapper didn't care. "

What a big tone." Jian Jing said, "Aren't you afraid of going to the police station?"

The kidnapper was fearless: "If I am caught, my partner will immediately transfer the hostage, and you will never find the child."

Jian Jing glanced at him and reached for his mobile phone that was placed aside.

The kidnapper immediately seized the opportunity and decisively elbowed her in the lower abdomen. At the same time, he kicked forward, twisted his body and raised his hands, trying to take the opportunity to strangle her neck and subdue her in one move.

Unfortunately, he really picked the wrong person.

The simple fighting card is already advanced.

The only advanced card, is it a joke?

She lowered her head to avoid his arm, her lower abdominal muscles were highly tense, and she instantly arched back, raised her elbow, and hit his nose hard.

The kidnapper underestimated her fighting ability, and accidentally broke her nose, and blood spurted.

But his reaction was not weak. He had already unbuckled his seat belt, rolled sideways, and escaped to the passenger seat. Once the space is opened, there will be more room.

He picked up the seat with one hand and threw it at Jian Jing, buying half a second, and at the same time pushed open the car door and jumped out.

Jian Jing: "Stop, or I'll shoot."

The kidnapper didn't believe a word of it. Not to mention that there was no gun in the country, even if he could get one, he had already observed when the two of them fought just now that the little girl loved beauty and was wearing hot pants and a short top, where did she get a gun?

Jian Jing: "Oh."

Why didn't she believe it.

She casually pulled down a pendant in the car, a heavy amulet, just right.

The aiming card was turned on.

Throw.

"Bang!" The kidnapper felt a pain in the back of his head and immediately felt dizzy. When he came to his senses, he had already fallen to the ground.

Jian Jing: Tsk.

This skill is better than playing football.

She found a plastic bag in the car, put it over his head, tied it up, and only left an opening at the neck, aiming to spray anesthetic gas. This thing is used by beasts (Knight: Woof??), and the effect is certainly not as good as the regular ones, but in a closed environment, it is enough to knock down an adult.

The kidnapper was completely unconscious.

She searched him.

There was a wallet in his trouser pocket, stuffed with a small amount of cash, a pack of tissues, a mask, a lighter, and a pack of cigarettes.

Men's pockets can hold too much. She complained in her heart, and then looked at his collar and soles. There was a little coffee on the collar, and the soles of his

shoes were ordinary, without any special dirt, just ordinary dust. There were some mud spots on his trousers.

After the observation, the person was stuffed into the trunk.

Kidnapping... er, no, the arrest was completed.

Jian Jing got into the car as if nothing had happened, and turned on the navigation and driving recorder.

The starting point for today was a parking lot in a shopping mall.

"Very cautious, and it's the first time I've seen a ransom transfer using a drone." She said to herself, "Let's go and take a look first."

She started the car and parked the car back to the starting point according to the navigation route.

Then, she checked the kidnapper's mobile phone.

In addition to the contact with Si's second sister and Si's brother-in-law, there was only one phone number.

She called around 2pm first, and the other party picked up quickly with a strong accent: "Hello, eh?"

"Hello, I want to reserve a table for dinner."

"Sorry, you called the wrong number."

"Oh, I called you before, who are you?"

"I'm the errand boy."

"Oh, sorry." She apologized, "I asked you to go to the park, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Okay, thank you."

Jian Jing hung up the phone and verified her guess. It seems that after she said she was going to ambush in People's Park, the kidnappers specially found an errand boy to make a false move and try to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

However, she bet that the park was not her real destination and she didn't go there at all.

Look at the other information on the phone.

There is not even a payment record, let alone a bank card. Other communication software is nowhere to be found, not even a map.

The car had navigation, which meant he was not particularly familiar with the roads. The phone did not have navigation, which proved that the road conditions from the parking lot to home were not complicated.

He could either walk there or take the bus.

He had to look for other information.

Jian Jing rummaged through the drawers and found a few things in the car: mineral water, bread, parking receipts, and coins.

The parking receipt was issued by the parking lot, and the parking time was 26 hours, from 8 pm yesterday to 10 am this morning. She

picked up the coin again, opened the five senses card and smelled it.

A scent of scallion pancakes.

It seemed that bread was for lunch and scallion pancakes were for breakfast.

She quickly searched the map to find breakfast shops nearby. To be honest, there were quite a few, a total of five.

The range was too large, were there any other clues?

Jian Jing pondered: First of all, Congcong was clearly awake during the last call. Wouldn't the neighbors around him be suspicious if he cried and made a fuss?

Given the caution of this kidnapper, he would definitely not choose an old neighborhood, otherwise the aunts and uncles who knew everything about him would find out that there was a child in the house and might think it was domestic violence and call the police directly.

It is also impossible that he was locked up in his own place.

He planned to take the ransom and run away. If the police found his home, his identity would be exposed.

So, the most suitable place for short-term rental, where the neighbors would not meddle in other people's business and unfamiliar faces would not easily arouse suspicion is a homestay.

Jian Jing immediately logged into the APP, located the parking lot, and searched for nearby homestays.

There is an apartment for rent, which only takes ten minutes to walk. Most of the houses I looked at were Instagram-style, with beautiful layouts, suitable for taking aerial photos, and strict access control, and the price was also very expensive.

Another one was a short-term rental, with a low price, but judging by the layout in the photos, it was estimated that many of the walls were not solid, and the sound insulation was probably not very good.

Neither of them was right.
