Zuo Chen stayed at the second branch of the police station all night and did not sleep a wink all night.
He had been waiting for the kidnapper to call again, fearing that he would miss it.
In the early hours of the morning, he leaned on the chair and barely closed his eyes, falling into a trance and hazy sleep.
Suddenly, the text message on his mobile phone rang, like the first morning thunder that broke through the dawn. He suddenly woke up and sat up, only to realize that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
Gong Suyan was lying on the table to rest for a while, when the short ringtone also woke him up.
He stood up suddenly and ran to Zuo Chenye's side.
Zuo Chenye opened the text message on his mobile phone, and sure enough, the latest message was sent by the person who held Qiao Ran hostage.
"The ransom is 500 million, paid with diamonds, and placed at the Fenghuangshan gas station in City A. Someone will come to collect it. The money will be collected until the ransom is released."
"There were only text messages, and Qiao Ran's latest photos were not sent." Gong Suyan read the text messages and thought for a moment, "According to common sense, when gangsters propose a ransom, they will attach a photo of the kidnapped person, or an audio message of the kidnapped person calling for help.
Recording. To show that the kidnapped person is indeed still within their control."
"What you mean is that the gangster only sent a text message and nothing else. It is very possible that Qiao Ran has escaped their control?" Zuo Chenye felt excited in his heart and ignited a glimmer of hope.
He knew that she carried a gun with her and that she was a sharpshooter. He hoped that she could save herself.
"This is just my guess." Gong Suyan opened the map of City A on the big screen and pointed out the location of Fenghuang Mountain. "Look, Fenghuang Mountain is here, and the Fenghuang Mountain gas station is right here. But I suspect that Fenghuang Mountain is just
The gangsters' demand for ransom is just a pretense. They are trying to create the illusion that this is an ordinary kidnapping case. Their ultimate goal is to kill people and silence them."
Zuo Chenye looked solemn and said without hesitation, "I immediately ordered people to prepare diamonds worth 500 million and send them to Fenghuang Mountain Gas Station. No matter whether the gangster really asked for ransom or not, I can't take the risk."
"Yes. I will send people to arrange secret arrangements around Phoenix Mountain." Gong Suyan nodded.
After Zuo Chenye finished speaking, he called Yan Han and explained all the details carefully before hanging up the phone.
"The top priority right now is to find out where Qiao Ran was kidnapped." Gong Suyan walked towards the investigation room, where police officers Xiao Zhang, Xiao Liu and others had been working overtime all night to investigate vehicle movements.
He stepped forward and asked, "What's going on? Do you have any clues?"
Zuo Chenye followed Gong Suyan to the inquiry room. He didn't want to miss any useful information.
Xiao Zhang replied: "Captain, I was just about to ask you to come and have a look. There are clues. We tracked the whereabouts of every big truck that appeared in front of the door at night. After excluding other suspicious vehicles, only one truck remained.
There is suspicion. Captain, look, this is a gas station that is about to leave the boundary of K City. This big truck went in to refuel, but it did not come out again!"
"Look here! Look, the big truck is driving in!" Xiao Zhang pointed at the screen and played it again, "Look, it's not coming out again!"
"Where did this small truck come from?" Gong Suyan pointed out another small truck coming in and out of the picture.
Xiao Zhang shook his head, "I don't know, maybe I just happened to come here to cheer."
"No, what's the purpose of driving this small truck to a diesel gas station to fill up with gasoline?" Zuo Chenye also discovered the problem.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Xiao Zhang touched his head sheepishly. It seemed that he still lacked experience.
"Unless this truck is not here to refuel at all. Instead, it is to transfer Qiao Ran!" Gong Suyan pointed out pointedly.
"It's very possible." Zuo Chenye watched the video carefully again, "The big truck drove in, but didn't come out again. At the same time, this small truck drove in, stayed for about ten minutes, and then drove away.
.If it’s not to refuel, I can’t think of any other reason to stay!”
"Check, check now! The final whereabouts of this small truck!" Gong Suyan raised his voice coldly.
"yes."
Several police officers woke up immediately. They had stayed up all night and everyone was a little drowsy. Now they were all sober and finally found a breakthrough.
Soon, all the police officers worked together to search and investigate.
In the end, the small truck showed its final location within the entire network monitoring range, which was Tianlong Mountain in City B!
"Tianlong Mountain?!" Zuo Chenye looked at the small truck on the surveillance camera and finally disappeared into the forest, his eyes narrowed coldly.
"That's right. It must be here. Qiao Ran must have been taken into the mountain by them in this small truck. Phoenix Mountain in City A and Tianlong Mountain in City B are close to each other and are of the same origin. The gangsters will deliberately induce us to go to Phoenix Mountain.
In fact, the scope of their activities is in the Tianlong Mountain area. In this way, even if the police dispatch a large number of police officers to search the wrong places, by the time the mistake is discovered, it is too late, and they have already completed all their plans."
"However, Tianlong Mountain is vast, inaccessible, and has no signal coverage. How are we going to find Qiao Ran?" Zuo Chenye looked extremely gloomy and worried inside.
Gong Suyan also fell into thinking and murmured, "If we send people to search aimlessly, they will not be able to complete the search for days and nights."
"They always need a place for activities. They cannot be exposed to the wind and sun in the wilderness." Zuo Chenye analyzed.
"That makes sense, Xiao Zhang. Please check quickly to see if there are any abandoned factories or warehouses in Tianlong Mountain." Gong Suyan ordered coldly.
"Yes, Captain."
Xiao Zhang immediately launched an investigation.
After a while, he turned on the big screen and zoomed in on the map of Tianlong Mountain.
"Captain, look here, there used to be an abandoned warehouse. It turned out to be a forestry processing factory. It was later abandoned and the factory was demolished, leaving only the warehouse abandoned."
"It's probably here."
Gong Suyan and Zuo Chenye's eyes lit up at the same time.
Great, we finally have a clue.
"It's too far to drive from K City. I ordered people to prepare a helicopter to go there first. You and others will arrive later. I will still send people to pay the ransom in order to divert their attention. We cannot let them discover that we have found Tianlong Mountain.
"Zuo Chenye's voice was low, slightly trembling with a bit of excitement. He was finally able to find Qiao Ran. He was both afraid and looking forward to it.
"No problem. After you arrive, observe the situation first and don't act rashly to avoid alerting the enemy. Bring this satellite locator and we will keep in touch at any time."
Gong Suyan solemnly handed Zuo Chenye a square box locator.
"good."
Zuo Chenye accepted it in response.
Immediately, he strode away from the police station, and his tall and stern figure instantly disappeared into the misty morning light.
