When Lu Ming was at a loss what to do, there was news from Cai Lian. Someone secretly stuffed a note into Cai Lian's bag, with Zhang Ziyang's handwriting on it, telling Cai Lian that he was fine now and had not been hurt.
He will go home in a few days, so don't worry about him.
After receiving the news, Lu Ming and Yuan Mingzhu immediately rushed to Cai Lian's residence and looked at the note carefully.
Judging from Zhang Ziyang's handwriting, he wrote very calmly and did not look like he was forced to write.
However, Lu Ming still didn't feel at ease. Kidnappers sometimes deceive the kidnapped people in order to get them to cooperate with them.
The most important thing is that he is still wondering: It has been two days and the kidnapper should have made a request.
However, what was waiting was not the kidnapper's request, but such a letter to appease the family, which seemed unreasonable.
"Do you think this is Ziyang's handwriting?" Cai Lian asked.
After her handwriting was imitated last time, she no longer believed in handwriting.
"It was indeed written by Zi Yang. You can still see the traces of the imitated handwriting no matter what. I am so familiar with Zi Yang's handwriting that it must have been written by him. He also felt at ease and relaxed when writing." Lu Ming
said.
"He has been tied up, how can he relax at ease?" Yuan Mingzhu didn't believe it and felt very surprised.
"Maybe the kidnappers promised something, so Ziyang is not anxious at all." Lu Ming analyzed.
"Then why did the kidnappers kidnap him? He is just a policeman with no money or power?" Cai Lian asked anxiously.
"I don't know. Sometimes kidnappers are very evil." Lu Ming specializes in criminal psychology research, and many cases puzzle him.
He originally thought that the kidnappers were coming for him, maybe trying to force him to drop the Sheng family case, but now it seemed a little different.
He felt that his thinking was still narrow, and maybe the other party was playing a big game.
However, one thing reassured him. Zhang Ziyang had much more experience in society than he did. He also had his own standards for identifying people and would not be easily fooled.
So, since Ziyang can feel at ease, it means that the kidnapper does not have much malicious intent, at least his life is not in danger.
But having said that, are there kidnappers with no malicious intent in this world?
Lu Ming was confused because this matter was full of weirdness and made no sense at all.
"Sister Cailian, don't be too anxious. Since the kidnappers can send someone to deliver this letter to you, it means they still need Ziyang, and Ziyang's safety will not be a problem for the time being." Yuan Mingzhu also advised.
"But if I don't see him, how can I feel at ease?" Cai Lian didn't sleep much for two days and one night. When she closed her eyes, she would have a nightmare of Zi Yang being tied up and calling for help to her, or there was bad news about Zi Yang, which disturbed her at all.
Can't close my eyes.
"Sister Cailian, you should ask the doctor to prescribe some soothing medicine, but don't wait until Ziyang comes back and your body collapses." Lu Ming said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm not that weak and can hold on," Cai Lian said.
Although she said she could persevere and there would be no problem, Yuan Mingzhu still felt uneasy and went out to find an old Chinese medicine doctor who prescribed some soothing pills and ate them while watching the lotus picking.
Cai Lian put this letter in her bag when she was attending a church meeting. There were many people in the church hall at that time, and she could not guess who had sent her this letter.
Lu Ming took the letter and looked it over carefully, trying to find some clues. He always felt that Zhang Ziyang should take advantage of this rare opportunity to convey some news to him, but he couldn't figure it out.
What method would Zhang Ziyang use if he wanted to convey some useful information to himself?
The letterhead was very ordinary, with orchids printed on it. It was bamboo paper very common in the south of the Yangtze River. Most people like to use this kind of paper when writing letters or keeping diaries. This shows that Ziyang was under house arrest in a house.
Of course, it is impossible for the kidnappers to hide Zhang Ziyang in an inn or small hotel. There are many people in these places and it is impossible to hide.
This also means that the kidnappers are locals, or at least there are locals to support them.
But these conditions don't mean much, because there are too many people who meet these conditions.
What puzzled him most was the purpose of the kidnappers. They dared to risk the world's disapproval and kidnap a senior detective of the Shanghai Police Department. There must be a very important reason, right?
Normally, kidnapping is just for money, but Zhang Ziyang has no money, and the police station cannot pay the ransom for him. Since the kidnappers know Cai Lian so well, they must know him very well, and they may want Cai Lian to pay the ransom for him.
But the kidnappers didn't ask for ransom at all.
In addition, the purpose of kidnapping is sometimes to seek revenge, but Zhang Ziyang is still quite popular in society. He has some contacts with various religions and has no enemies.
Could this matter be related to several cases they had solved together before?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Yuan Mingzhu came over to persuade him: "Stop thinking nonsense. It's just a piece of paper. It's useless no matter how you look at it. If my elder brother spreads the people out, he will definitely find out Zi Yang's whereabouts."
"Thank you later for me, brother." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Your eldest brother's business is all part of the same family, so why are you so polite?" Yuan Mingzhu said carelessly.
Lu Ming was speechless. He didn't want to recognize this big brother of the Cao Gang, but he was forced to hold him down by Yuan Mingzhu. There was no way he could do anything.
Seeing that Cai Lian's mood was much more stable after taking the medicine, Lu Ming and Yuan Mingzhu said goodbye and left.
"What is wrong? Zhang Ziyang will definitely use this rare opportunity to convey some information to me. Why can't I see it?"
In the car, Lu Ming still checked the letter over and over again. He didn't believe that Zhang Ziyang could really feel at ease in the situation of being kidnapped, and it was not like he was going to Las Vegas for vacation.
He must have somehow convinced the kidnapper to help him deliver this letter. This letter must have important clues to his kidnapping.
"You are stupid. If Zhang Ziyang conveys something to you, the kidnapper won't be able to see it. If the kidnapper sees it, can you help him deliver this letter?" Yuan Mingzhu laughed.
"What you say is consistent with common sense, but for a smart person like Ziyang, you can't use common sense to guess him. He will definitely have his own way." Lu Ming was still unwilling to give up.
"Zhang Ziyang is smart? This statement sounds quite new. I think it's better to forget it." Yuan Mingzhu said disdainfully.
"Then you don't understand Zi Yang. What this kid is best at is pretending to be stupid." Lu Ming shook his head.
The only person who knows Zhang Ziyang best in the world is Lu Ming, probably better than his mother and I.
He seemed to see Zhang Ziyang looking at him with sly eyes and said to him: "How about it, boy, can't you tell? Are you stupid? I'm just kidding you!"
When you know a person well enough, you can completely see his heart, whether he is happy or sad, through his handwriting. This is just like when you understand a writer's works deeply enough, you can read his words through his handwriting.
Feel his emotional changes while writing.
This is why great works can resonate with readers. The author can infect readers through his own emotional changes, and then achieve empathy and resonance.
However, considering the environment Zhang Ziyang was in, what he wanted to imply must be very obscure. This letter must have been checked many times by the kidnappers, and it was only allowed to be sent out after confirming that there were no problems.
These kidnappers should not be underestimated. They are all talented people. Is it an easy task for them to lay a trap and quietly kidnap a detective whose mission is to arrest others?
Zhang Ziyang had a gun and was extremely vigilant, but he was still captured.
Gradually, Lu Ming suddenly felt that he had guessed wrong. The person who kidnapped Zhang Ziyang might not be the same group of people who dealt with him at Tongren Hospital that day.
Judging from the group of people who attacked him at Tongren Hospital, they were definitely not that easy to talk to, and it was unlikely that he would be allowed to deliver the letter.
Although the mastermind at Tongren Hospital is smart enough and has great ability to control the overall situation, he is very cold and lacks humanity and will not give others any chance to escape.
The fact that they did not kill the hospital staff and patients who were imprisoned does not mean that they are soft-hearted or humane, but it shows precise control of harm and violence.
They just don't want things to expand beyond their control. This is the professional method of professional kidnappers.
After talking about the matter, Yuan Mingzhu sent Lu Ming home and said she would pick him up tomorrow morning. In Yuan Mingzhu's words, she was now an employee driving for her boss without getting paid.
As I said, the two thousand yuan that Lu Ming advanced to her, as well as the money, had already flown to Java.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly. Yuan Mingzhu had just bought a new car and was just addicted to driving. When she got tired of it, she would probably find countless excuses to refuse to be his driver.
Walking into the revolving door of the apartment, Lu Ming saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the counter. He turned around when he heard the door, and when he saw Lu Ming, her colorless eyes suddenly filled with sunshine and rain, and there was something about it.
Flower-like colors.
"Du Juan? Why are you here?" Lu Ming was stunned.
"Master Lu is back. This lady has been waiting for you for a long time. I asked her to go up and wait for you, but she was unwilling and insisted on waiting here." The apartment manager said diligently.
"Thank you." Lu Ming nodded and smiled.
"What? You don't welcome me? Am I the person you least want to see now?" Du Juan said bitterly.
"What did you say? I just didn't expect it. Welcome, welcome."
Lu Ming stepped forward and suddenly stretched out his arms. He did not expect this. The cuckoo seemed to be a bird summoned by the woods, and rushed over and threw itself into his arms.
The apartment manager was filled with envy. This young master Lu must have been too lucky. He was surrounded by beautiful women every day.
The administrator could guess Du Juan's occupation, but he didn't mean to look down upon her. The value of such a girl in Shanghai is very high, second only to those famous ladies.
The only difference between them and famous ladies is their family background, but their looks are much prettier than ordinary famous ladies.
There is no special term for this kind of girl or woman in China. In fact, after the 18th century in France, there was a special term for this kind of girl, which is a social butterfly.
There is no shortage of such characters in Balzac's novels. Dumas' "La Traviata" is a tortuous and sad love story between a young man and a courtesan of Paris's upper class society, which impressed readers around the world and created the French "Lady in Distress" series.
the first of its kind.
Shanghai was known as the Paris of the East at that time, and Du Juan was actually the "La Traviata" in Shanghai.
When Lu Ming saw Du Juan's skinny appearance, he couldn't help but feel sympathy and guilt. He knew that Du Juan became like this because of him.
"You are so stupid, you don't know how to cherish yourself." Lu Ming gently stroked her back and said.
"I'm just a stupid girl, I know, but I can't help it." Du Juan said with tears streaming down her face.
She really didn't expect that Lu Ming would be able to hug her one day. Lu Ming had always treated her at a respectful distance. What she felt at this moment was warmth and satisfaction. She felt that even if she was going to die next moment, this life was worth it.
.
There are always periods of stupidity in people's lives. Whether they are boys or girls, people will always do stupid things in their lives. No matter how smart they are, they cannot escape this curse.
Because people have feelings, and the most precious thing in a person's life is feelings.
Du Juan is like this, so why is he not like this.
It cannot be said that Lu Ming's behavior at this moment has nothing to do with Yuan Mingzhu's reminder to him, but fundamentally, Lu Ming also has an indescribable love and affection for Du Juan, but it is more similar to family affection.
While holding Du Juan in his arms, he thought of Sheng Muyi. In his mind, the two girls were not much different and both were worthy of protection.
He didn't have to get involved in the Sheng family's affairs, and he didn't have to investigate Sheng Muyi's mystery, but he put himself at great risk, but he threw himself into it without hesitation, and never looked back when he hit the wall.
Just like now, he clearly knew that hugging Du Juan would make him angry, but he still did it. He felt that if he didn't do it, he would really be sorry for Du Juan and his own heart that was burning with emotion.
Yes, what is love? It has been thousands and tens of thousands of years, who can answer this question?
