After taking care of the three devils, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin, they left the wine cellar with the hounds, intending to meet Mrs. Gordon to receive the promised 1,500 gold duga reward.
However, the three of them walked out of the warehouse door and found that only the housekeeper was waiting outside. Mrs. Gordon and Alice and their daughter had disappeared.
"Something's wrong..." Jiang Feng couldn't help but think about the worst and muttered in the private chat channel, "Is Mrs. Gordon going to burn bridges and miss out on the remuneration?"
"No, no," Gao Fei comforted his girlfriend, "She is also the police chief's wife after all, so there is no need to offend us and ruin her reputation for such a small amount of money."
"Miss Quinn, and the two detective gentlemen, there were some unexpected changes at home. My wife had to go back to deal with it. I can't wait for you here. Please forgive me."
The gray-haired old butler apologized on behalf of his master.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng looked at each other and both had a premonition that the trouble in the Gordon family seemed not to be over yet.
"It's inconvenient for me to tell you, what kind of trouble has your master encountered?" Gao Fei asked.
"Well... you'd better ask your wife face to face." The housekeeper hesitated to speak.
Even Martin noticed something was wrong and asked Gao Fei in a low voice: "Brother, can we still get our reward?"
"That's not the problem. The problem is whether you still want to earn some extra money."
“Who doesn’t want to make money?”
"Then come with me to find Mrs. Gordon to find out what accident happened to her family."
With anxiety and curiosity, the three of them followed the old housekeeper back to the front living room. As soon as they entered the door, they felt the gloomy and gloomy atmosphere in the room.
Mrs. Gordon was wiping the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief.
Before the police station got off work, Mr. Gordon went home and was smoking his pipe one after another, frowning and looking sad.
Seeing everyone coming in, the Gordons reluctantly cheered up and stood up to greet them.
Jiang Feng told the story of exorcising the devil from beginning to end, and finally came up with a guess.
"Mr. Gordon, if that little devil named Brad didn't lie, the man behind hiring the devil to cause trouble in your house is probably the mysterious leader of the 'Blood Anchor Gang', the underworld godfather known as 'The Boss'!
"
Mr. Gordon nodded, seemingly unsurprised by the findings.
"Mr. Gordon, how much do you know about this 'boss'?" Gao Fei asked.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne, I don't know much about this person. I only know that he has been operating in the city since more than ten years ago, ruling the underground world of Marina City with extremely cruel methods, and working with the 'Raging Wave Pirates'
The group' maintains an extremely close cooperative relationship."
"For many years, the Blood Anchor Gang has been playing the role of the pirates' smuggling and selling agents in Marina City. To say that they work together in cahoots is more appropriate."
"If we want to crack down on organized criminal activities in Marina City, the Blood Anchor Gang is a stumbling block that cannot be bypassed."
Mr. Gordon clenched his fists and his expression gradually became excited.
"In order to complete this mission, I will sacrifice my own life, but my family...should not bear this too heavy price for me."
"Those gangsters first tried to attack my daughter, and now even William has been kidnapped by them. It's so shameless!"
Mr. Gordon couldn't control the grief and anger in his heart, and punched the table hard.
Gu Hao
"Dear! It's all my fault!" Mrs. Gordon cried and hugged her husband's arms, "I should have listened to your advice and stayed in the provincial capital with William and Alice... But, I really don't trust you.
I went to my post alone."
"Okay, dear, it's meaningless to talk about this now. The most important thing at the moment is to try to rescue poor William."
Mr. Gordon held his wife's hand tightly, his face heavy.
"Please forgive my presumption, your son seems to have been kidnapped by the Blood Anchor Gang. When did this happen?"
As soon as Jiang Feng received the hint of the main plot, he took the opportunity to ask the Gordons.
"This evening, after school, William did not come home on time."
Mrs. Gordon choked up her sobs.
"Because of Alice's incident, I couldn't trust William, so I sent a servant to pick up William from school."
"About half an hour ago, the servant came back in a hurry and told me that William was kidnapped at the school gate. He also brought back a letter marked with a blood anchor."
"Can you show me the letter?" Jiang Feng asked.
Mrs. Gordon turned to look at her husband with tears in her eyes.
Mr. Gordon nodded and handed over the letter left by the kidnapper.
When I opened the letter and took a look, the content was exactly as expected.
The Blood Anchor Gang claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of William Gordon and set two conditions for the Gordons to redeem their son.
First of all, the ransom of 30,000 gold duga must be delivered to Xiong Valley before sunset tomorrow.
In addition, the Blood Anchor Gang also asked James Gordon, in the name of the Chief of Police, to publish an announcement in tomorrow's "Coastal Morning News", publicly promising to abandon the plan to crack down on gangs and seek peaceful coexistence with the Blood Anchor Gang.
At the end of the kidnapping letter, there was this straightforward threat:
"If you can't meet any of these two conditions, I'm sorry, I'll wait until your son's body is collected!"
"Mr. Gordon, with all due respect, the gang kidnapping your son and extorting ransom is just a pretense. The real purpose is to force you to publicly publish your confession in the newspapers and ruin your reputation." Jiang Feng said.
"I completely agree with you, Miss Quinn." Mr. Gordon sighed.
"So what are you going to do?" Jiang Feng asked bluntly, "Are you going to sacrifice your own flesh and blood and insist on performing your duties; or are you going to give up your original intention and save your son's life?"
Mr. Gordon clenched his fists, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Everyone could see that this man was struggling fiercely in his heart.
"Dear... we only have one son, William!" Mrs. Gordon couldn't help crying, "Dear, you are the police chief, why don't you send all the police officers under you to try to save our son?
?”
"I'm sorry, but this won't work." Mr. Gordon shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If William can be rescued safely by dispatching the entire city's police force, I don't mind doing it for public benefit, but doing so is likely to have the opposite effect."
"Why?" Martin couldn't help but interject.
"I feel ashamed to say it. The Coast City Police Department has been infiltrated by gangs. Even I, the chief, dare not say whether a police officer who seems to be upright on the surface has colluded with the Blood Anchor Gang in private.
, how could you trust your only son’s life to them for rescue?”
"Oh my god! Chief! If your words spread, the entire city will be disappointed with the police!" Martin shouted exaggeratedly.
