The most widely known thing about highway service areas is the food they provide. The taste is ordinary, but the prices are much higher than the market price.
Here, a two-person team dispatched by the Zhongshan Institute to handle cases finished their meal in the expressway service area, cleaned up briefly, and prepared to leave the restaurant and board the car to continue on their way.
Before leaving, Zhu Chaoran did not forget to run to the snack street and buy several bags of snacks: rice dumplings, wheat cakes, sausages, etc.
"Hehe, if nothing unexpected happens, it will probably take until midnight. We don't fight an unprepared battle." Regarding food, Zhu Chaoran confidently prepared very well, "Brother Shu, I have prepared some for you."
He picked up the two bags in his right hand and waved them in front of the statement a few times, with a smug look on his face.
Chen Shu was a little speechless, but he had gotten used to it too early. He sat in the passenger seat, put on his seat belt, and asked casually: "Fat man, how is the car driving now?"
"Well, it's basically no problem. I just haven't really tried stepping on the accelerator until now. I'm afraid that if I really have to use it, I won't be used to it." Zhu Chaoran scratched his scalp and said honestly.
"You can give it a try when we get started." Chen Shu said, pointing to a red button wrapped in a transparent plastic cover under the center console screen, and said with a smile:
"This is the nitrogen start button. The safe duration is ten seconds. You can try it out later."
"...Brother Shu, can I not listen to you this time?" Zhu Chaoran was stunned, and it took him a while to come to his senses.
...
Zhu Chaoran has been fond of playing with cars since he was a child. Before joining the police force at the police station, he had been racing cars with others for a while.
He is also a well-known person in the circle, nicknamed "Dead Fat". Although this title is not very pleasant, the "death" of "Dead Fat" means that he is not afraid of death in the eyes of people in his circle.
Zhu Chaoran's racing prowess is obvious to all after dozens of races and cannot be doubted.
But he knew clearly in his heart that regardless of whether he died or not, he was far inferior to Chen Shu in terms of his ruthlessness in facing trouble.
Although Chen Shu doesn't usually drive much, his driving skills are indeed average, maybe a little better than ordinary people. But whenever Zhu Chaoran thinks about the ruthlessness with which Chen Shu chased him in a stumbling Santana.
I was so nervous that I felt so scared.
That drag racing ended with Santana crashing into the body of Zhu Chaoran's Mustang.
Zhu Chaoran, who was huddled in his seat at the time, watched with horror as Chen Shu staggered to his car, pulled open the door with all his strength, and with blood dripping from his head, he mocked condescendingly:
"Fat, are you dead?"
At that time, Zhu Chaoran was surprisingly lucky and was safe and sound without any injuries on his body. Almost half a year has passed since this incident, and he still breaks out in cold sweat every time he thinks about it.
Here Chen Shu finished explaining the nitrogen matter and signaled Zhu Chaoran to continue on his way.
"Brother Shu, why do you want to play with modified cars?" Zhu Chaoran, who was confused by Chen Shu earlier, suddenly came to his senses, "I feel like you are not a car lover either."
Chen Shu didn't even raise his eyelids: "I wasn't racing with you years ago, and you forced me to do so."
After saying that, he became quiet and fell into deep thought.
Nearly 48 hours have passed since Chen Shu deduced the time of the crime. During these 48 hours, according to the itinerary record provided by the expressway company, it is estimated that except for necessary meals and toilet breaks, the kidnappers have basically been on the road all the time.
Driving.
Committing crimes across regions for such a long time, this kind of continuous and long-lasting action will force their mental pressure to rise exponentially, and then they will stop approaching a relative critical point, and they will not be able to hold on! So this time we went there
The Dangmadian Station in Hexi Province must be the last change of location.
Chen Shu made a decision in his heart.
The police and criminals, who have never met before, should have reached a consensus on this point.
The transaction was carried out in a place far away from the place where the crime occurred. In order to achieve this condition, they even spent dozens of hours on detours across cities and provinces. The kidnappers must have made the worst plans for this case.
They must have assumed the possibility that the police at the scene of the crime would follow the hostages' families, so they used tricks to force others to leave the local area, losing their local geographical familiarity, personnel mobilization, intelligence collection and other advantages.
In this way, they then use the hostage's initiative in their hands to force the other party to make a series of concessions, and then when the other party's conditions are weakened to the bottom, they come forward to fight hard.
Well, in this way, they dare to come forward and give it a try
