Hearing what Huang Yanning said, Lu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. This was a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
These students, who have received training courses for more than half a year, just need to find an internship opportunity. Isn't this readily available?
The students are all quasi-agents who have undergone professional tracking and surveillance training, and their observation skills are much stronger than those of ordinary people.
"This is a good idea, but will it make people think that we are doing it for public benefit?" Lu Ming hesitated because he was worried that the students would misunderstand it.
"How can this be called pretending to be public for personal gain? The kidnapping case is a criminal case, and all the people have the responsibility and obligation to help investigate and solve the case." Zhang Ziyang retorted without hesitation.
The police are the police, and they have their own clear direction on social issues.
"Well, tonight we will print photos of Du Juan, and tomorrow we will post missing persons notices in every corner of Shanghai, and we will continue to publicize them in newspapers and on the radio. Don't say he was kidnapped, just say he is missing. Now
We can't put too much pressure on the kidnappers to prevent them from harming the hostages," Lu Ming said.
Everyone nodded and agreed with the approach proposed by Lu Ming.
"Deputy Station Director Zhao, please be sure to keep an eye on the Shanghai Station and find the person who made the call. That is the only clue." Lu Ming ordered again.
"Okay, I will try my best." Zhao Yuanliang nodded and agreed.
"Zi Yang, those two police officers must carefully re-examine the matter. I feel that the matter is not that simple. I think it is possible that they are being used or simply facilitators of this conspiracy." Lu.
Ming said again.
"Okay, but they are policemen after all. They can only intimidate, but cannot impose punishment, unless we have real evidence. I don't think Director Shao is very happy to imprison them now, but because of your face, I don't dare to say it."
Zhang Ziyang said helplessly.
Lu Ming nodded. Ordinarily, there was no conclusive evidence of crime, and Zhang Ziyang did not have the right to detain the two policemen. However, since the branch director did not protest and the general director acquiesced, the two policemen had no choice but to accept this fate.
This is the first time Lu Ming has used force that he has always opposed. If it were not for Du Juan, he would never do this. This approach is contrary to his legal beliefs.
Therefore, people sometimes really oppose themselves, and even become their own opposites, becoming the person they hate the most.
As Lu Ming said this, he reminded himself strongly in his heart that this is just this once, only this once, and I will never do it again.
"If there is any other good way, let's think about it again." Zhang Ziyang said.
After the meal, everyone had racked their brains and could not think of a better way. There was only so much manpower available.
Their informants in the Fuxing Society, the police station and the garrison headquarters are located in almost every corner of Shanghai. They have all taken action and entered their roles.
Throughout Shanghai, except for restricted areas such as the Japanese Concession and Japanese garrison camps, they had placed their own eyes and ears in other places.
"What kind of car did the hijacker drive?" Lu Ming suddenly asked.
"Well, it's a 1930 Dodge car." An Gonggen said.
"Are you sure it was produced in 1930?" Lu Ming asked.
"Yes, there happened to be an eyewitness who was a car enthusiast and had researched the car's logo and year of production, so he provided accurate information." An Gonggen said with a smile.
"Oh, there is such a person? It's amazing." Zhang Ziyang said in surprise.
"What kind of weirdo doesn't Shanghai have? There's nothing you can't think of, there's nothing Shanghainese can't do." An Gonggen said with a smile.
"If it is determined that the car was produced in 1930, we should be able to find out the imported batch and the buyer." Lu Ming was a little surprised. He also has his own experience in this area.
"Not necessarily. Some cars may be smuggled. These people should consider this. The weapons and vehicles they use are likely to be purchased on the black market." Zhang Ziyang poured cold water on Lu Ming.
"No, even if you buy it on the black market, you can still find out where the buyer came from, right?" Huang Yanning said.
"That's not necessarily the case. The sources of things on the black market are very complex and the sales are even more bizarre. It's difficult to find out the buyers behind them," Zhang Ziyang said.
Everyone's experiences collided, and with each other's words, new investigative ideas seemed to gradually emerge.
"It's really difficult to find out if it's an ordinary item, but a large item like a car is only in the hands of a few people. As long as you can find the person who sold the stolen goods, you can find the real buyer." Lu Ming said.
The black market in Shanghai is controlled by several major gangs. The Qinghong Gang and the Cao Gang both have a share in it. Of course, they only control it. There are all kinds of merchants in it, and they come from all over the world.
"Start with the customs investigation first, and at the same time investigate the black market, squeeze out the toothpaste bit by bit, I don't believe we can't find the culprit." Lu Ming made up his mind, and he needed to have the courage to do this kind of thing.
It is correct to start with the vehicle. After all, there are not many vehicle transactions in Shanghai, and there are import and sales records. If it is purchased on the black market, the situation may be more complicated, but it may not be traceable.
Now it seems that the most reliable clue is this car. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the car is stolen. In that case, this clue will basically be useless.
Investigation is like this, there may be many clues, but many clues will lead to dead ends, but they must be investigated one by one, and no one can be let go.
Maybe at an inconspicuous corner of a dead end, a new clue will appear. This is called trying to find no place through iron shoes. Hard work pays off.
After dinner, everyone left, but Lu Ming returned to his office. There was a room in his office that he used as a bedroom.
When he returned to the office, Liu Qiwen was still waiting for him in the office.
"Qiwen, why aren't you off work yet?" Lu Ming asked.
"I want to stay with you here." Liu Qiwen said.
"No need." Lu Ming shook his head.
"Sir, don't be too anxious. Miss Du is auspicious and everything will be fine," Liu Qiwen advised.
"You don't need to persuade me, I can still hold on for now." Lu Ming sighed.
"I heard that someone made a call from our old office at Shanghai Station, so Miss Du was arrested. Have you found that person?" Liu Qiwen asked.
"No, since this person dared to make this call in that office, he must have been fully prepared. It is hard to say whether he can be found." Lu Ming was also mentally prepared for this.
"How could someone stab you in the back at Shanghai Station? Have they forgotten your kindness? It's polite to say that people leave and have tea. This kind of people are simply white-eyed wolves." Liu Qiwen said angrily.
"These are two different things. Providing funds to the original Fuxing Society is just a transaction. It is not a favor or a favor. In addition, you also know that there are enemies and enemies. Maybe some people are dissatisfied with my withdrawal of financial support and vent to me secretly.
Right." Lu Ming said.
The whole thing is now somewhat clearer, starting from the reporting phone call, to the two policemen from the Third Branch going to arrest the person, to Director Shao having to have Du Juan sent to the headquarters, only to be kidnapped.
The people associated with each step of this matter are a link in this big conspiracy, thus forming a complete chain.
These are only the details that have surfaced, and more are still hidden in the darkness, waiting for him to dig out.
In this chain, some people may have been used unintentionally, while others may have been directly involved in the conspiracy. This possibility is the greatest.
The more people who know about an incident, the greater the risk of exposure. Therefore, it is impossible for the mastermind to let everyone in every link know the truth from beginning to end.
If you do that, the biggest problem is that it is too fake, it is all coincidence, and it will inevitably make people suspicious.
The best way is to let the insiders complete the core of the incident, and use uninformed people to complete the peripheral parts according to reasonable logic. The whole incident will look real and natural, not artificial.
Lu Ming felt that this was another conspiracy against him, but he couldn't figure out what the purpose of this conspiracy mastermind was.
Why they chose to attack Dujuan seems completely unreasonable, but there must be some rationality hidden in the secret.
It would be more reasonable if it was the Shanghai Station or the Garrison Command that arrested Du Juan. After all, Du Juan's identity as a Communist Party member is already known, and it is likely to reach the ears of these two departments, but they will never use this method to arrest people.
This method, even if it is a secret arrest, will not rob someone on the street.
Lu Ming did not ignore this possibility. He asked Huang Yanning to return to the Songhu Security Headquarters to make inquiries to see if anyone had caught Du Juan privately.
At the Shanghai Special Operations Brigade, Lu Ming arranged for An Gonggen to make inquiries. An Gonggen also had his own connections there.
As for the Shanghai Station, it can be ruled out. They would never dare to secretly arrest Du Juan, and even Dai Li would not dare to issue this order.
