The other party was silent for a moment, seemingly intimidated by Zuo Chenye's momentum, and then hurriedly cut off the call.
Listening to the "beep beep" busy tone on the phone, it echoed in silence.
Zuo Chenye's mind went blank.
The photo of Qiao Ran being held hostage was deeply engraved in his mind like a brand, and he could not get rid of it. She was lying curled up on the ground, her hands were tied behind her back, her lips were pressed against the tape, her usually bright eyes were closed tightly, and she looked lifeless.
The look of life.
He thought of the unhealed whiplash on her back, which must be very painful at the moment.
He clenched his fist tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed. He couldn't tell whether it was heartache or rage, and he wanted to crush the phone to pieces.
Gong Suyan stepped forward and held the mobile phone in his hand, and said calmly, "Let go and give me your mobile phone. I want to install a real-time tracker in your mobile phone."
Zuo Chenye suddenly came back to his senses, his hands loosened, and pain flashed across his eyes.
His voice was hoarse, "What, can you trace where the call came from?"
"It should be no problem." Gong Suyan replied.
Gong Suyan could clearly see Zuo Chenye's painful expression. He didn't know how he felt. It was heart-wrenching and tormenting, with mixed emotions.
After all, Qiao Ran is Zuo Chenye's wife. All he can do is try his best to catch the murderer and rescue Qiao Ran.
Police officer Xiao Liu suddenly shouted excitedly, "Location successful!"
Just after he was happy, he suddenly wondered, "That's not right, the call was located in the Fenghuang Mountain District of City A?! How is it possible that it is so far away? The incident occurred so far away that the driving time is not enough to get there."
Zuo Chenye and Gong Suyan were startled at the same time, City A?
"It's possible that the suspect hasn't sent Qiao Ran to Fenghuang Mountain yet, but just called to warn him first. The terrain of Fenghuang Mountain is complex, and even locals may not be able to figure it out, let alone outsiders. Of course, it's also possible that the call was just a pretense, deliberately
Leading us in the wrong direction." Gong Suyan frowned deeply, his face solemn.
"Whether it's a cover or not, we can't make mistakes." Zuo Chenye opened his thin lips, looked at Gong Suyan, and said in a deep voice, "Even if there is one ten thousandth chance, we can't give up."
Gong Suyan thought for a moment, picked up the phone, and dialed the traffic control department switchboard.
After the call was connected, he immediately ordered, "Set up cards when entering and exiting various fortresses in K City, but do not detain any vehicles. Just conduct routine inspections to avoid alerting the enemy and causing the other party to reject the call. If there are any suspicious vehicles, report them immediately and start tracking them privately."
"Okay, we will cooperate fully." The other party promised.
After Gong Suyan hung up the phone, he said sternly to Zuo Chenye, "Since the other party threatened you not to call the police, we cannot act rashly, otherwise Qiao Ran will be in danger of his life."
Zuo Chenye nodded and clasped his hands vigorously to cover up his uncontrollable trembling.
In fact, he was afraid in his heart. He had a hunch that no matter whether he called the police or not, or paid the ransom, it was probably just an excuse. What the other party really wanted was Qiao Ran's life.
Grandma's death was definitely not an accident.
A series of things are closely related.
At this time, Gong Suyan, who had been querying the database, suddenly said, "I found it! The caller registration number turned out to be the missing female prison guard Liu Yuru of the detention center. It was the number she had used before. It was abandoned for a time, and now it has been reactivated."
Police officer Xiao Liu said excitedly, "Great! It turns out that Liu Yuru kidnapped Qiao Ran. This will make it easier to investigate!"
"Impossible." Zuo Chenye shook his head, narrowed his cold eyes, and objected, "It's not that simple."
Gong Suyan agreed and said in a deep voice, "The other party kidnapped Qiao Ran in broad daylight and in front of his eyes. He would not make such a stupid mistake and let us easily find the source of the call."
"This..." Police officer Xiao Liu is in trouble. How to investigate a kidnapping case with no clue?
As time passes, Qiao Ran's danger will increase.
Zuo Chenye and Gong Suyan looked at each other,
There was a hint of worry and speculation in each other's eyes.
The other party deliberately exposed the identity information of the phone call.
Do this...
The most likely reason is that the other party wants to kill Qiao Ran and then let the missing Liu Yuru take the blame.
This is basically a serial conspiracy from beginning to end.
Zuo Chenye stood stiffly at night. At some point, his body gradually became numb, and a sense of weakness spread throughout his body. He lowered his head, and his long forehead hair perfectly blocked the gloomy expression on his face.
When Lin Yuyue arrived at the second branch of the police station, it was already very late. When she saw Zuo Chenye who was looking confused, she didn't dare to speak and secretly walked past Zuo Chenye until she walked to Gong Suyan.
.
She felt extremely guilty in her heart. If she hadn't insisted on having a dinner with Qiao Ran and Gong Suyan today, perhaps this would not have happened. When she looked up at Gong Suyan, tears were already streaming down her face.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't expect that something like this would happen." She covered her cheeks in disbelief, and the more she tried to stop it, the harder her tears flowed. "It's all my fault. We had to have a dinner together, and we couldn't do it at any time. But...
today."
"I really didn't expect that Qiao Ran and I went downstairs from different elevators. If I had known, I would have gone downstairs with her. God, what should I do now? What should I do?" Lin Yuyue cried so much that she could hardly breathe.
Come.
She is usually smiling, cheeky and carefree, but the way she looks when she cries makes people feel sad.
Gong Suyan had never seen Lin Yuyue like this before. He sighed, picked up a pack of tissues and handed it over.
He comforted, "Don't blame yourself. The other party came prepared. No matter where Qiao Ran goes tonight, kidnapping her is their ultimate goal. This matter has nothing to do with you."
"Really?" Lin Yuyue sobbed and wiped her tears, "Is there anything I can do? I can do anything I need, even exchange hostages. As long as Qiao Ran can come back safely."
"Don't think nonsense. All you can do is go home and wait for news." Gong Suyan said bluntly.
"I'm going out to smoke a cigarette." Zuo Chenye said suddenly without paying attention to what others were saying.
After that, he slowly walked out of the second branch of the police station like a zombie and stood on the cold steps.
The moonlight was lonely, pouring down like silver, all falling on his body, as if covered with a layer of light silver gauze. Under the endless dark night, his figure looked particularly calm.
He took a cigarette and held it between his thin lips, but never lit it.
Finally, he threw the cigarette on the ground with a numb expression, and unknowingly trampled the cigarette to pieces.
So far, there is no clue, no direction, and not even useful information has been found.
The only thing we can hope for is that Qiao Ran has the ability to save himself.
