As time passed, Liu Yifeng's big hole had been dug. He put his travel bag in and then started filling the hole.
After finishing, Liu Yifeng looked around for a few seconds, then simply covered it with some dead leaves on the lawn, clapped his hands and walked towards the Rolls-Royce.
"You leave too." Officer Wang stared at Fang Wende and said, "You and your cousin leave here together."
"But...but what should Tingting do?" Fang Wende stammered nervously.
I have never done such a thing in my life, digging a hole deep in the forest to bury money at night.
"We are here." Gu Chen also comforted him: "If someone comes to withdraw money, we will follow him, so you can leave without worries."
"Why don't you leave quickly? Be careful of exposing your target." Officer Wang urged again urgently.
Gu Chen and Officer Wang were both specially trained to lurk in a place like this, but Fang Wende was just an ordinary citizen.
Don't say you can't stand it, even if you can stand it, it may not be able to help, and it may still be a burden.
"Then I'll thank you two police comrades." Fang Wende took out two business cards from his jacket pocket and handed them to Officer Gu Chen and Officer Wang, saying: "These are my business cards. If anything happens, please give me a call."
"Don't worry, this is what we should do." Gu Chen accepted the business card and assured Fang Wende, who then agreed to leave the scene.
After a while, Liu Yifeng drove away with Fang Wende.
The entire forest fell into silence again, with only the faint moonlight covering the surrounding area.
"Senior Brother Wang, you can go to sleep first. I'm keeping an eye on you." Hiding in a perfect hiding place, Gu Chen prepared to take turns monitoring with Officer Wang.
"That's fine. Just be careful to conserve your energy." Officer Wang looked down at his watch and said, "Wake me up in an hour."
"no problem."
Three hours have passed...
Officer Wang woke up naturally from his sleep. He looked down at his watch and said in shock: "Gu Chen, didn't I ask you to wake me up in an hour?"
"I want you to sleep a little longer. After all, I am young and have good physical strength." Gu Chen also told the truth.
Last time I was on night duty with Officer Wang, and the next day I found that Officer Wang's eyes were bloodshot and he looked very haggard.
When Gu Chen was performing a latent observation mission, he drank a can of functional drink provided by the system.
Now I feel full of energy, let alone latent observation, even running 10,000 meters is no problem.
If Officer Wang hadn't slept until he woke up naturally, Gu Chen would have simply let him sleep until the gangster showed up.
"You have some conscience." Officer Wang also accepted Gu Chen's intention, raised his head, looked around, and asked, "Is there anything going on?"
"No." Gu Chen shook his head: "Since Fang Wende and Liu Yifeng left, there has been no movement around."
"That's strange." Officer Wang frowned, feeling as if these imaginary gangsters were playing hide-and-seek in different ways.
It can be said that the place where the gangster chose to trade is indeed very secretive.
In addition to withdrawing cash at night, you can escape unscathed. If it is during the day, I am afraid there will not be such a good opportunity.
"What are the gangsters trying to do? Let someone bury the ransom here, and you won't come to get it yourself. Could it be that we were discovered?" Officer Wang felt that there must be something fishy here.
Gu Chen shook his head and said: "No, I have carefully checked the surrounding area and there is no one else."
Why are you so sure?
Because Gu Chen used his specialized observation skills to monitor the surrounding situation in turn, he has not found anyone else except the two of them so far.
"That's strange." Officer Wang couldn't explain why. He always felt... could there be any changes here?
The morning sun gradually rises, and the soft sunlight shines on the trees, and the lush leaves have deep and light green.
The early birds began to chirp happily on the branches, and then dropped their excrement on Officer Wang under the tree.
"What the hell." Officer Wang looked at another pile of white bird droppings in his hand and was extremely depressed: "There are obviously two people lying here, why can't these birds just get along with me?"
"Senior Brother Wang, maybe you're lying in a bad position." Gu Chen pointed to the thick branch above his head and said, "You may be right under their bird's nest."
Officer Wang: "..."
Another hour and a half passed.
At this moment, the number of citizens coming to Forest Park for morning jogging began to gradually increase, but they still did not find the two men in the screenshot.
"The best time to withdraw money has obviously passed." Officer Wang was also very depressed. He looked at Gu Chen and asked: "What do these gangsters want to do?"
"I don't know." Gu Chen shook his head and couldn't explain why yet.
I always feel that from last night to now, my heart has not been at ease.
At this time, Officer Wang's cell phone began to vibrate, and the caller ID was Fang Wende.
Before leaving last night, Fang Wende specifically asked for Officer Wang's mobile phone number.
"It seems that Fang Wende can't wait any longer." Officer Wang pointed at his cell phone and sneered, then answered the call.
"Officer Wang, thank you, really thank you." As soon as the call was answered, Fang Wende could be heard saying thank you repeatedly.
Officer Wang and Gu Chen were also confused.
Xin said that he had been lurking all night and found nothing. Is it too early for Fang Wende to say thank you now?
"Then what? Mr. Fang." Officer Wang also quickly explained: "We lurked all night and did not find anyone taking the ransom."
Now, it was Fang Wende's turn to look surprised. There was a brief pause on the phone for a few seconds, and then Fang Wende's curiosity came through.
"Officer Wang, why can't I understand what you are saying? Didn't you let the gangsters take the ransom on purpose, so the gangsters let Tingting go?"
"You said Tingting was released?" Officer Wang was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.
How is this possible?
Gu Chen and I have been watching here all night. How could the gangster take the ransom? Are you kidding me?
"Mr. Fang, are you sure your daughter is safe now?" Officer Wang didn't believe it and quickly asked.
"Yes, the gangster blindfolded her and put her down in the car in a blind spot. She is with me now." Fang Wende also felt a little confused and didn't understand what Officer Wang meant.
"Don't hang up the phone yet." After a simple explanation, Officer Wang called Gu Chen, and the two quickly went to the place where the cash was buried last night.
It is covered with some dead leaves. Although it is just a simple cover, the soil is tight and there are no traces of being dug.
"Mr. Fang, please rush to the place where we dug the hole last night and get your five million back immediately."
Officer Wang hung up the phone and felt like he had seen a ghost. Could it be that the gangster was afraid and let him go without the money?
If this is the result, it is naturally the best.
Not long after, Liu Yifeng drove Fang Wende to the digging site.
"What's going on?" Fang Wende was confused. After all, he couldn't explain clearly on the phone, so Fang Wende had no choice but to promise to come over in person.
"Mr. Fang." Gu Chen pointed to the pit and said, "We stayed here all night and no one came to take away the ransom. How could the gangster say that the ransom had been taken away?"
"No way, that's what the unknown number that called me said, otherwise how could they let me go?" Fang Wende was also confused, feeling more and more confused the more he listened.
In the phone call received, the gangster clearly stated that he had taken the money before letting Fang Tingting go, but the police here said that no one had taken it away. Who should he believe? Fang Wende couldn't decide for a while.
"Have you taken away the money? Isn't this simple?" Officer Wang saw Fang Wende's suspicious face and said angrily: "Ask your cousin to dig the hole and you will find out. If there is any, take the money."
Take it back."
Fang Wende didn't dare to neglect, so he ordered his cousin Liu Yifeng to get a shovel from the car and start digging again where he buried the money yesterday.
Not long after, the travel bag containing the cash last night was still there intact.
"What am I talking about? We police officers will not lie." Officer Wang also snorted coldly, feeling that in this case... at least the hostages are safe, and then the kidnapper needs to be tracked down. All steps must be done one by one.
But just as he was thinking about it, he heard Liu Yifeng say stupidly: "Cousin, all the money in the travel bag is gone."
