Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty

After the second day passed, the county bureau still had no results on the whereabouts of the kidnappers. Through the investigation, the possibility of the kidnappers living in a residential building on the side of Anle Road has been ruled out.At the same time, the surrounding visits did not make any progress, and there were no witnesses when Jiang Xiaobing disappeared.The same is true of the situation I learned from Jiang Xiaobing's classmate and friends, and he was completely helpless. The county bureau sent the video of the car that passed the surveillance probe and needed to be checked to the city bureau. However, due to poor lighting conditions and low resolution of the surveillance, image processing took time, and the final result of this processing would not be too clear.

On the third day, Wang Liqin couldn't sit still at all, and called many times to ask if the kidnappers had been caught. In the afternoon, Wang Liqin called again and said that she had made an appointment with some friends to borrow money, and now she will go over to write the IOU, transfer the money to her account at the same time, and make an appointment with the bank, and she can withdraw 30% in the next morning. million. Although Wang Gedong judged that Jiang Xiaobing was dead based on the fact that the kidnappers did not allow the hostages to communicate and that they had cooked the hostages' ears.But this judgment is only a reasonable inference based on known clues. From the rigorous point of view of a criminal investigation expert, there is no evidence to conclude that Jiang Xiaobing is dead.If you tell Wang Liqin hastily, I'm afraid she will lose control of her emotions immediately, and it will be very troublesome to deal with the kidnappers to catch them all.

Therefore, it is not easy for him to tell Wang Liqin this unproven guess. After pondering over and over again, Wang Gedong agreed with her to prepare the money, and he also prepared plans for tomorrow. When the kidnapper calls again, he must talk to Jiang Xiaobing. If the kidnapper insists on refusing, then Jiang Xiaobing is more likely to be killed. At that time, plainclothes will be sent with Wang Liqin to lure out the kidnapper with fake money.At that time, the focus of work was not to rescue the hostages, but to capture the murderer. If the kidnapper agrees to call, it proves that Jiang Xiaobing is not actually dead, and Wang Gedong also has a plan in mind whether to use real money or fake money for the transaction.He has made complete preparations, as long as the kidnapper dares to make a deal, he will make the other party have nowhere to hide.

Arrangements were made. That night, Wang Gedong asked plainclothes to handle the main passage of the community first, to monitor whether there were any suspicious persons wandering around. After confirming that there were no suspicious persons, he and six criminal policemen dressed in plainclothes sneaked to Wang Liqin's house under the cover of night. Wang Gedong brought a large bag of "money", which was requested by the kidnappers, a pile of 100,000 yuan of money bricks, but only the top and bottom of each money brick were real hundred-yuan banknotes, and the middle was a bank exercise Coupons, the sides of the money bricks have been painted, if you don't take them apart and look at them, it's really not easy to tell the real ones from the fake ones.

Wang Gedong gave Wang Liqin detailed instructions on how to communicate with the kidnappers, including how to deal with various situations. Everyone is ready to arrest the kidnappers tomorrow. At nine o'clock the next morning, Wang Liqin's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, and everyone acted according to the plan. The technicians in the county bureau immediately began to check the signal. Everyone at the scene wore wireless headsets in their ears, and could hear the conversations on the mobile phone and Wang Gedong's instructions at the same time. You can directly connect to the mobile phone and talk to the kidnapper.

Gritting her teeth, Wang Liqin still answered the phone. The other party said easily: "Hey, it's still me. Is it a surprise, or not? Are you looking forward to it, or not?" Wang Liqin looked at Wang Gedong for help. Wang Gedong did teach her how to respond to what the other party said, but Wang Gedong never taught her how to respond if the other party's opening remarks were inexplicable. Wang Gedong gestured with his mouth open: "Ask him how to trade." Wang Liqin had no choice but to ask, "Should we pay the ransom today?" "Of course, we gave the police three days. Unfortunately, they are too stupid to find us. Now I don't want to continue playing. Are you ready for three million?"

"Still... still in the bank." The other party was slightly annoyed: "Why haven't you taken it out yet? If you don't want to spend money to get your son back, then there's no need to waste time." Wang Liqin hurriedly said: "The amount of 3 million is huge. I need to make an appointment. I just made an appointment yesterday, and today... I can pick it up immediately." The other party smiled and said: "So I just made an appointment yesterday. It seems that the very powerful Director Wang, who is in charge of criminal investigation, must have been full of confidence a few days ago that he would definitely catch me, haha. I'm sorry, the time is almost up, I have to hang up and talk to you later."

With that said, he hung up the phone. The technical staff of the county bureau immediately sent a voice: "Boss, it's still a new number. It's too short to check it before hanging up." Wang Gedong snorted coldly, turned his head away, and did not speak. A few minutes later, the other party called again, and it was still the new number: "Hey, it's me, haha, do you think I'm a bit haunted? You go to withdraw the money first, remember that it's 100,000 yuan a knife Qian Zhuan, I will let you know how to trade later. By the way, don’t try to use fake money. If it is fake money, I will tear up the ticket. And tell the very powerful Director Wang, who is in charge of criminal investigation, to steal money behind the phone. Listen, I don't mind, I will be really angry when I send someone to follow after the transaction."

Everyone's face was shocked, and many newcomers were thinking in their hearts, how did the kidnappers know that we were listening to the phone? Wang Gedong was not surprised at all. The kidnappers were so well prepared that they obviously thought that once the police intervened in the kidnapping case, they would not withdraw. Of course they would monitor Wang Liqin's cell phone. Wang Liqin followed the instructions and asked, "Wait a minute, I need to hear my son's voice before I withdraw the money." The other party said, "Why should I satisfy your condition?"

Wang Liqin's voice choked up: "You...you have never let me hear my son's voice, have you...have you..." "Oh... I see. You are worried that Jiang Xiaobing is dead, so the next transaction is just to extort money from you, right?" No one expected that the kidnappers would directly expose their thoughts and clarify the problem. The other party continued: "Well, Jiang Xiaobing is by my side today. I have no reason not to let you talk. But I only give you a few seconds." Then there was the sound of the other party walking on the phone, and a few seconds later Zhong, and the voice of the other party came again, "I let go of your mouth now, you can only talk to your mother for a few seconds, if you say where you are now, I will kill you directly, you hear me?"

A second later, there was a voice: "Ah... ah... what are you doing, don't... ah..." Jiang Xiaobing's voice stopped. "Xiao Bing, Xiao Bing, what's the matter with you, what's the matter!——What did you do to Xiao Bing?" Wang Liqin asked anxiously. "It's okay, don't you want to listen to his voice? I just touched the opening of his ear and asked him to make a few voices for you to hear. Do you want to continue talking to him? He is blocked in his ear canal now. He has a blood clot, and he can't hear me clearly, and I probably can't hear you clearly, do you need me to dig out the blood clot in his ear canal and talk to you?" Wang Liqin shook her head quickly: "No, don't... I beg you not to abuse him, I will definitely give you the money, please let him go." The other party said with a smile: "This kind of cooperation is very pleasant. Don't worry, as long as the money is in hand, Jiang Xiaobing will definitely let him go. We don't want to kill Jiang Xiaobing either. There is still a big difference in sentencing for kidnapping and murder. We compare You know the law better. We don’t want to kill people if we are not forced to. As long as you cooperate well, everything will go well. Go get the money and see you in an hour.” After speaking, he hung up the phone again. Wang Gedong frowned and asked, "Did the voice just now belong to Jiang Xiaobing?" Wang Liqin was very sure, and at the same time said anxiously: "Director Wang, do you want to withdraw the money now, will you be able to rescue the little soldier?" Wang Gedong pressed his temple in annoyance, he couldn't understand why Jiang Xiaobing was still alive? Hearing the meaning of the other party's words, he didn't want Jiang Xiaobing to say too much, because Jiang Xiaobing knew where he was at the moment, and he was afraid that he would expose the kidnapper's den if he said it.This is also in line with the position of the kidnappers.At the same time, it also proved that this group of kidnappers was much smarter and more cautious than ordinary criminals. Many ordinary criminals think they are smart and have a strong sense of defense, but they are often tricked into talking with the police inadvertently, and they don't even understand how they were arrested. As for this group of kidnappers, they were calm and unhurried, and all their plans seemed to be in order, proceeding according to their own rhythm, and were not disrupted by the police's intervention in the slightest.A tough opponent indeed. At the same time, it was also stated just now that the other party said that he was a middleman before, and it was true that Jiang Xiaobing was not by his side.So if the ears are boiled, it may just be that one of the kidnappers is abnormal, and it has nothing to do with covering up Jiang Xiaobing's death. After thinking for a moment, Wang Gedong said: "Xiao Li, you can accompany me to the bank to withdraw money." After they left, Lin Jie came up and said in a low voice: "Boss, are you really going to ask Wang Liqin to withdraw the money, and we will trade with them with real money?" "Let's wait and see how the kidnappers want to make a deal. We will definitely go to the bank. What if the kidnappers stare at Wang Liqin and we don't find out? If the kidnappers don't see Wang Liqin going to the bank, they will naturally have doubts about the authenticity of the money. Now that we know that Jiang Xiaobing is still alive, we must first ensure the safety of the hostages and Wang Liqin, and the second is to ensure that the money does not fall into the hands of the kidnappers." "But I wonder if the kidnappers really dare to trade?" Wang Gedong said: "If the kidnappers come to make a deal, there are three situations. One is that they directly bring Jiang Xiaobing over. In this case, we will decisively surround them. At that time, both negotiators and snipers will come. They must all surrender. The second is that the kidnappers sent the middleman over. Jiang Xiaobing continued to hide behind the scenes with the other kidnappers. Put the money in a certain place, and he will come to get it later. Even if this place is not suitable for the police to follow the guard directly, we also put a GPS positioning device in the money, and the kidnappers will only die if they dare to take the money.” Lin Jie said: "But we don't know anything about the situation of the kidnappers. No matter what the situation is, the kidnappers will definitely not be able to escape, but Jiang Xiaobing may not be able to keep him." A cold light flashed in Wang Gedong's eyes. He nodded and said, "Indeed, no matter what the situation is, Jiang Xiaobing may have an accident. Let's deal with the specific situation. The worst case is to send Jiang Xiaobing to the other party, and none of the kidnappers will be able to leave." Now, in this case where the kidnappers and hostages are unknown, it is impossible to directly rescue the hostages, and the transaction must be carried out.Wang Gedong has fully prepared for all three possible trading situations. During the transaction, it would be best for the kidnappers to bring the hostages directly, but with such cunning kidnappers, Wang Gedong guessed that they would collect the money first, and then continue to hold Jiang Xiaobing as a hostage to ensure their safety. If the kidnappers thought they could continue to blackmail the police with this method, well, that's too naive, Wang Gedong has his own way to deal with these guys.
