Chapter 16 9. Randa Appears

This morning, Liu Kai was sorting out materials about Song Kang in his office when his cell phone rang suddenly. "Are you Officer Liu?" "Who are you?" "I'm Nancy. I met Officer Mason a few days ago. He gave me your cell phone number. His cell phone has been off today, and I can't get in touch with him. So—" Liu Kai was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that Ma Sen had left her their mobile phone numbers when they met Nancy. "Ah! What do you want?" "Landa has news!" Liu Kai immediately stood up, walked to the window, and asked loudly into the phone: "Where is she?"

"Yesterday morning, a colleague of mine met her having morning tea at the Toray Hotel." "Is she alone?" "No, there was a young woman with dark glasses with her." "Who is that young woman? Have you seen it before?" "No. My colleague said she didn't know each other." "Do you know where Randa lives now?" "I don't know. I heard from my colleague that Landa also wore big sunglasses, which almost covered half of her face. Obviously, she didn't want to be recognized by others. Therefore, unexpectedly meeting her colleague Afterwards, she seemed very embarrassed, dodged, and reluctantly greeted the other party, and hurried away with the woman wearing sunglasses."

"Oh, that's it! Thank you, Nancy! If there is any news about Landa, please let us know." Liu Kai seemed to suddenly remember something, and then asked, "Nancy, do you know Landa? phone number?" "I know. However, Landa usually doesn't answer calls from strangers." "It's okay, I can text her." After Liu Kai wrote down Landa's mobile phone number, he sent her two text messages with the same content: Your situation is very dangerous, please contact me immediately. Liu Kai felt that these two same text messages could kill two birds with one stone.If Landa was the suspect, after receiving such a text message, she would panic and be terrified; if she had nothing to do with Song Kang's death, reading such a text message would make her sleepless and terrified.But no matter which category Landa fell into, she would eventually choose to connect with him.The former is to find out his reality, to see what he knows, what evidence he has against himself, and how much threat he will pose to himself; the latter is purely to seek protection.Although it was difficult for Landa to determine the identity of the person who sent her the letter from these two text messages, but based on her situation, she would still contact this stranger desperately like a moth to a flame.

After Liu Kai finished sending the text message, he put the turned on mobile phone on the desk and waited for a reply. However, throughout the day, the phone rang many times, but none of them came from Landa.After experiencing hope and disappointment again and again, Liu Kai began to wonder if his texting would scare the snake away and make Landa disappear from now on?In that case, it would be very detrimental to the detection of the case... This thought made him upset and restless.If Landa never contacted him, it would be tantamount to cutting off a valuable clue to solve the problem, and everything would have to start all over again.

Liu Kai bought a boxed lunch, only took a few bites, and then threw it aside.For a moment, his eyes were fixed on the mobile phone on the table without blinking, and he kept silently chanting: Come on the phone!Randa. At this moment, the mobile phone on the table rang loudly.Liu Kai turned around abruptly, stretched out his arm and grabbed the phone in his hand from a long distance away, and an unfamiliar phone number was displayed on the screen. "Hello... who are you?" Liu Kai asked eagerly into the phone. After a while, there was no reply.There is only a rustling sound in the phone.This shows that the other party did not hang up the phone.

Liu Kai asked again: "Who are you, please speak!" There was still no response, but at this time Liu Kai had concluded that the other party was Landa.So, he changed a somewhat tough tone: "Please speak, otherwise, I will die!" "Who are you?" Finally, a woman's trembling voice sounded from the phone. "I'm Liu Kai, a police officer from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment. You're Landa, right?" "Yes, this is Landa. So you texted me?" "Yes. I sent it. Why are you calling me back now?" "I'm... very scared, really scared! I don't understand why you are sending me such a text message. Could it be that someone is really threatening me... why is that?"

"I want to talk to you!" "Where are we talking?" "Come to my office and talk, okay? By the way, where are you now?" "I can't tell." "Then do you know the route to the Criminal Investigation Detachment?" "I know. I'll take a ride there, and I'll be there in twenty minutes." "Okay, I'll wait for you at the gate."
