The Dingshan Viaduct is about ten meters above the ground. There is a car parked not far away on the east side under the bridge. Looking from a distance, it is vaguely a black Toyota Camry.
The car had its high-beam headlights on, shining directly under the bridge.
Looking back according to the light, there was a man standing under the viaduct, raising his head and looking coldly at the position where Ren Da and Zhao Hu were looking.
He was holding his cell phone in one hand and a flashlight in the other hand, and he was shining left and right on the bridge.
The kidnapper immediately yelled angrily on the phone: "Damn it! I'm going to kill you! Didn't I ask you to come here alone? Why did you follow someone else? Who is he? Is there anyone else in the car?"
Judging from the situation, the kidnapper on the call was the man under the bridge.
Zhao Hu followed the plan explained by Ren Da before and apologized hastily: "I'm sorry! This is my cousin, he is the only one who came here. I don't dare to come here alone! With so much money, I don't have one person."
Find a way to get it."
"...Hurry up and throw the money down!" The kidnapper choked for a moment, probably for the sake of the money, so he didn't bother anymore and just urged him to throw the money away.
"No! I must see my wife!" The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Zhao Hu wiped the rain off his face and shouted to the kidnapper for the first time in a rough voice.
"...Hey, does the bag at your cousin's feet contain ransom?" The kidnapper under the bridge paused for a while and asked abruptly.
Huh? You can see the canvas bag on the ground through such a thick concrete guardrail. It seems that their commanding heights can only be on the mountain behind me.
In the flash of lightning, Ren Da had already made a calculation in his mind. He was facing the bridge without moving, but his body calmly moved half a step back, barely hiding his upper body behind the concrete guardrail.
He took out his mobile phone from his inner pocket and was about to send a WeChat message to Li Meng when he found that he had an unread message.
"There are two of us coming from the east side of the national highway. It will probably only take about half an hour."
After comparing the time when the message was received, Ren Da made a fist with his right hand, secretly cheered, and then quickly sent a WeChat message to Li Meng: There is a person on the mountain on the west side of the viaduct, there is a person under the bridge, 100 meters to the east of the bridge
There is a car far away, there is a person in the car, and the hostage is inside the car.
After sending it, he quickly put the phone back into his jacket pocket, but at this time, there was no movement on the phone in Zhao Hu's hand.
Well, the commanding heights are definitely behind me. Now there are two kidnappers down there. One is driving, and the other is coming to get the money. Such a large bag of cash cannot be taken back without carrying it with both hands.
Ren Da's mind was spinning rapidly, and without stopping with his hands, he picked up a large canvas bag and placed it on the concrete guardrail with a sigh, deliberately exposing most of the bag to the outside of the bridge.
He raised his hand and patted the exposed canvas bag vigorously.
Then he quickly lowered his head and approached Zhao Hu, hid behind the big canvas bag, and whispered: "Ask the kidnappers to take your wife to the big rock on the roadside, saying that you can see more clearly from there."
Zhao Hu immediately shouted: "Take my wife to the stone on the roadside and let me see if she is safe! I will throw the money down then, and you just come and get it."
"No! Throw down the money right now! Otherwise, you can do whatever you want!" This time the kidnapper didn't take the bait. He took out a pistol from his body and fired directly into the ground!
"boom!"
Got a gun!!!
It was too dark, and Ren Da and Zhao Hu did not see clearly the scene of bullets hitting the muddy ground, but the sound of gunshots could not be faked. The two people standing on the bridge looked at each other, and Zhao Hu had a faint intention of giving in.
Ren Da's heart moved, he pressed Zhao Hu's hand on the concrete guardrail and shouted outside:
"Brother, you see, we can't go anywhere while standing on the bridge. We just want to see with our own eyes how our brothers and sisters are doing. Isn't this too much to ask? After all, there are five million in this bag.
Besides, when we do business, we always pay attention to the payment with one hand and the delivery with the other hand. Yesterday you also said that you are professionals, so we will follow the old rules, okay?"
Ren Da spoke calmly and tried to stimulate the kidnappers through words, but in fact he was still a little bit worried in his heart. After all, human life was at stake.
Both sides fell silent at the same time.
The kidnapper under the bridge put down his cell phone and pistol, stuffed them into his pockets, raised his head, and stared directly at the canvas bag exposed on the bridge without saying a word.
The two sides faced off for about one or two minutes. Finally, the kidnapper lowered his head, turned around and walked towards the black car in the distance, shouting loudly as he walked:
"For the last time, if you dare to be verbose again, I won't do this business!"
Watching the kidnapper walk away, Ren Da stroked his thin beard on his chin and said thoughtfully: "Zhao Hu, when your wife comes out, you can talk to her more. Even if the kidnapper comes under the bridge and urges you to throw money
, don’t be anxious, ask your wife if she has eaten, if she has been hungry these days, if she has been injured or anything. As for when to throw the money, do you follow my code? I don’t have a code, so you just keep delaying.
"
"What's the secret code? Isn't the canvas bag in your hand? You can throw it away whenever you want."
"You order me to throw money. This seems more reasonable and can delay a little more time. The secret code is that I cough twice."
Zhao Hu was a little confused and couldn't react at once: "Then it won't make the kidnappers angry and kill my wife, right?"
"No! The situation is different. Now the money is hanging in front of their eyes. As long as they can get the money, the kidnappers are not willing to take another life on themselves." Ren Da raised the corner of his mouth.
Unless the kidnapper is a psychopath. But judging from what we just talked about, the kidnapper is still a person with normal thinking.
He watched from a distance as the kidnapper opened the car door and got into the back seat, probably preparing to pull the hostage out.
Well, there should be a kidnapper in the car, and I don’t know if he is also carrying a gun. How about letting the two policemen secure the hostages? It’s better not to act rashly. Just let the kidnappers run and think about it later.
There is no way, after all, human life is at stake.
This man who had gone through many battlefields in his early years and had once rocked Dongzhou with the name Tiger of Zhengming seemed to hesitate and shrink back a little at this moment.
