107. You are not afraid of which pink eye is bad for you?
"Yifeng." Fang Wende did not answer Gu Chen's question directly, but turned around and blamed Liu Yifeng: "Did you call the police?"
"It's unfair, cousin, how could I call the police?" Liu Yifeng denied it flatly, feeling as if he had been greatly wronged.
"Who could have done it?" Fang Wende was also quite curious, but extremely anxious: "Once the police get involved, Tingting will be dead."
"Mr. Fang, what happened?" Seeing that Fang Wende was a little out of control, Gu Chen quickly stepped forward to comfort him.
Fang Wende held his hair with both hands, feeling like he was trying to adjust his emotions, or forcing himself to stay calm enough.
"Comrade police." Fang Wende calmed down and asked, "How did you know that my daughter Tingting was kidnapped? I didn't call the police?"
"It was your daughter who called the police." Gu Chen also told without reservation how he received a mysterious takeaway call during dinner.
In this way, Fang Wende stabilized his mood, nodded and said: "Tingting is smart, she actually thought of using such a method."
But after thinking about it, Fang Wende raised his head and said quickly: "Comrade police, what happened next? Did you go to Ping'an Road afterwards?"
"Went." Lu Weiwei explained: "We checked two entire buildings and finally found the house where they were hiding."
"But these people are very cunning. They used the complicated terrain at the back door to escape before we arrived, so we used your daughter's phone number to find this place." Officer Wang also added.
Speaking of this, Fang Wende was both excited and frustrated.
What excited her was her daughter's wit. Judging from Gu Chen's analysis of the phone call, the gangster had no intention of harming her. This was the result that Fang Wende hoped to see most at the moment.
But what is frustrating is that the police suddenly intervened, putting her daughter into a dangerous situation again.
Fang Wende unfolded a printed A4 paper from his pajamas pocket and placed it on the coffee table.
"Comrade police, see for yourselves."
Lu Weiwei took the A4 paper with quick eyes and hands. Gu Chen and Officer Wang also leaned over, and they started reading along with each other.
"This is a blackmail letter from a gangster."
"You actually want 10 million in cash? That's quite an appetite."
"The time to pay is tonight, isn't it very close?"
Several problems can be seen through the blackmail letters.
First, the gangster had planned it for a long time. He obviously knew Fang Tingting's family background. When Fang Tingting was out of school, he took advantage of the short time before the driver Liu Yifeng arrived to kidnap her with some kind of threatening method.
Second, the gangster's tactics were very sophisticated. He threatened Fang Wende not to call the police, otherwise he would lose his vote.
The location and time of the transaction were also carefully arranged. It can be seen from the A4 paper that the other party asked Fang Wende to put 10 million cash in a travel bag at night and bury it in the grass behind trash can No. 53 in the back mountain of Forest Park.
.
"Wait a minute." Gu Chen suddenly had a question: "Mr. Fang, how can you prove that your daughter Tingting is in their hands?"
"Because of this." Fang Wende took out a four-leaf clover pendant from his pajamas pocket: "This is the birthday gift I bought for Tingting. She always wears it."
"How did you get these things?" Gu Chen asked again.
"The pendant and the threatening letter were both found under a trash can at the intersection after I received the call and followed the instructions." After Fang Wende truthfully confessed, he added: "But if the police intervene, I'm afraid Tingting will be in danger.
.”
Gu Chen looked at Officer Wang behind him. At this moment, Officer Wang was calmer than ever.
Logically speaking, Fang Wende did not call the police. If the police intervened rashly, he would certainly be blamed if problems arise.
But from a conscience point of view, Officer Wang couldn't let it go.
Knowing that someone is being kidnapped, if you don't take action, will you let the kidnappers get away with it? That is definitely not allowed.
After weighing the situation, Officer Wang said calmly: "Mr. Fang, you did not call the police. It was your daughter Tingting who called the police. You don't have to blame yourself too much."
"But the payment time is coming soon." Fang Wende looked at his watch and was also anxious.
"Mr. Fang." Gu Chen suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly: "Are you ready with all the cash?"
"Ready."
"But by the time you receive Tingting's belongings, the bank should have already closed."
"No." Mr. Fang shook his head and said, "To be honest, I have 10 million stored in the underground safe at home for emergency use."
"The suspect asked for 10 million. He obviously knew that your family had 10 million in savings. Could it be that an acquaintance committed the crime?" Lu Weiwei was also quite surprised.
Storing 10 million in cash at home is probably not something ordinary people would do. It feels like 10 million in a rich person's home is like keeping pocket money.
"You don't have to doubt that my family is definitely fine." Fang Wende also defended his family: "I have mentioned on many public occasions that my family has 10 million for emergencies. This is something that many people in the business district have noticed.
I know."
"Mr. Fang, there is something I don't know whether I should say." Gu Chen put down the notebook and said in a serious tone: "For someone like you who is so unscrupulous in showing off your wealth, aren't you afraid that some pink eye disease will be detrimental to you?"
"I've thought about it." Fang Wende nodded and said, "It's just a conversation before dinner, and we're all friends. We just treat it as teasing."
"Cousin, it's getting late." Liu Yifeng pointed to his watch and reminded: "They want us to pay at twelve o'clock. If we go late, Tingting may be in danger."
Fang Wende suddenly realized it and said in a panic: "What should we do? The police are on the scene. If the gangsters find out, it will be a big trouble."
Officer Wang hesitated for a few seconds, then turned to Lu Weiwei and said: "Weiwei, drive the police car away immediately and wait for news two blocks away."
"Okay." After Lu Weiwei received the instruction, she turned around and left.
"Then... what about you two?" Fang Wende asked.
"Lend me some of your clothes and we'll go to the scene with you." Gu Chen also understood what Officer Wang meant.
Officer Wang would never miss an action like this.
"No, if you go there, you will scare off the enemy." Liu Yifeng strongly objected.
The scene was filled with anxiety for a while.
After thinking again and again, Fang Wende agreed: "Okay, if something happens, you two can help save Tingting, and I will find you two sets of clothes."
"Cousin." Liu Yifeng suddenly became anxious: "Don't you really think about Tingting? There may be gangsters around. If you do this, won't you be harming Tingting?"
"Yifeng, there is nothing we can do about it." Fang Wende also explained: "From what the police comrade said just now, I know that Tingting called the police by ordering takeout. This means that she is only being controlled and all activities are under the surveillance of the gangsters.
Well, if that's the case, it means the gangster didn't mean to harm her, so why should we make a fuss?"
Fang Wende actually couldn't say why he trusted the police, but he had a lot of contact with the police in Jiangnan City and still fully believed in the capabilities of the Jiangnan City Police Force.
Liu Yifeng sighed and left helplessly.
Not long after, he brought two jackets and a heavy travel bag.
"Cousin, I've brought all the cash, and I've prepared the shovel."
"Okay, let's set off quickly." Fang Wende squinted his eyes and made a cross on his chest with his right hand.
After Gu Chen and Officer Wang changed out of their police uniforms, they took the Fang family's Rolls-Royce and went directly to the forest park behind the villa area.
As specified in advance, everyone found trash can No. 53.
"These guys are very good at choosing places." Gu Chen glanced around and said: "This is the most remote place in the forest park. There is no monitoring at all, and there are many trees. People have to hide in it.
In this dark environment, you will definitely not be able to find anyone."
"Comrade police, please step aside." Liu Yifeng took off the shovel and said, "I have to dig a hole behind here according to their requirements, and then put the travel bag containing cash in it."
Gu Chen looked at Officer Wang, the two nodded in agreement, and then followed Fang Wende. The three of them hid behind a big tree dozens of meters away, randomly observing in secret.
Under the flashlight light, Liu Yifeng wielded a shovel and shoveled the lawn bit by bit.
This digging action blends in with the surrounding dark environment, making it look extremely strange.
