As the man handed over a piece of A4 paper, Bai Hongwei quickly took it because it was covered with an evidence bag, so there was no need to wear gloves.
"It looks like it was just printed out?"
Bai Hongwei noticed something was wrong as soon as he took it, and the man patted his thigh and said.
"Yes, that's where the problem lies. After we checked, this paper came from Elsa's own printer, but an outsider came to their home and used the printer in their study to print out a kidnapping letter, and then silently printed it out
To take people away, do you think this is possible?"
Bai Hongwei looked at the man, waiting for his next words.
"I don't mean anything else, it's just whether..."
"This is absolutely not the case. Which parent would kidnap their child? And the most important thing is, if they really do it, how do they plan to end it? You know that reporting false police is a crime. They don't have to do it, and I
I believe that no parent in the world would make fun of their children."
Kong Bingxuan immediately retorted, and Bai Hongwei thought the same thing. What the man meant was very simple, that Elsa's parents might have defrauded the insurance company. But even in the most impersonal terms, the value Elsa created while alive was far greater.
It’s much more than insurance fraud!
"Then there is nothing I can do about this. Anyway, we have already surveyed the scene, and there are indeed no signs of intrusion. I will leave the rest to you, and my work is over."
Bai Hongwei nodded and led the people into the villa.
"Hello, I am Bai Hongwei from the Binhai City Criminal Investigation Detachment. Don't worry. Since the kidnapper is asking for money, he will not hurt the child for the time being. Give us some time and we will definitely bring the child back."
The villa is very large. On the large sofa in the large living room, there is a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sitting. This man is wearing casual clothes and holding a cigar in his hand. The living room is filled with smoke. It seems that the man smokes a lot.
.A very noble-looking woman was sitting by the phone. The woman's face was stained with tears. She even had only one slipper on her feet. It seemed that one of them got lost at some point. The woman held on to the phone tightly.
It seemed that he was afraid of missing the kidnapper's call.
"What's the use of your promise now? Elsa is still so young, she has never left her parents, my poor child!"
When the woman said this, her tears couldn't stop flowing down. The man sat aside and his face was as heavy as water, but he still looked calm.
"Call more people and bring our equipment."
Bai Hongwei looked at the A4 paper in his hand. There was only one sentence on it. Prepare a ransom of 100 million. Your baby daughter is in my hands. If you don't want anything to happen to her, don't call the police. I know everything!
"yes!"
Da Binzi immediately went to prepare. Kong Bingxuan walked to Bai Hongwei and quietly pulled Bai Hongwei aside.
"Captain, I think this matter was probably done by someone familiar with their family situation, or even an acquaintance."
"Oh? How do you say that?"
Bai Hongwei didn't say much, but was prepared to listen carefully to Kong Bingxuan's reasoning.
"Although Elsa is young, she is indeed five or six years old. If a five or six-year-old child is taken away by a stranger, it is impossible not to make a sound. Although this villa is large, it is not impossible to hear nothing.
If Elsa was really taken away by a stranger, then Elsa would definitely make a sound. His parents would also know it at the first time, but according to his parents’ testimony, they told Elsa at nine o’clock in the evening
After saying good night, Elsa went to bed. When they were getting ready to go to bed at eleven o'clock, Elsa's mother went to the room to take a look at Elsa. Although she was just standing at the door, I felt like there was no one in the bed.
You should be able to see clearly. So..."
"So what?"
Kong Bingxuan thought for a while and finally plucked up the courage to say.
"I know my idea is ridiculous, but I wonder if the murderer would have been hiding at home for a long time, and then took Elsa away after her parents fell asleep, because Elsa was an acquaintance and did not make a sound. Then that
People leave ransom notes on their beds just for money."
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Before Bai Hongwei said anything, Chen Bai's voice sounded from behind the two of them.
"This villa is indeed very big, and it must have guest rooms, but even people who are familiar with it cannot use this method. Also, have you noticed that the door of this house is opened from the inside or the outside?
It requires fingerprints, do you think a stranger can open it?"
"This...maybe we can go through the window?"
Kong Bingxuan was a little angry. Didn't Chen Bai say he was going to class? Why did he arrive so early?
"Okay, let's go up and have a look together!"
With that said, Chen Bai put on his shoe covers and went upstairs with the two of them.
"As you can see, the doors and windows are locked from the inside. Although there are no guardrails here, it also shows that the kidnappers did not leave from here."
After speaking, Chen Bai took the note left by the kidnapper from Bai Hongwei's hand.
"Although they asked for a ransom, they didn't say when they would pay it, but they specifically emphasized not to call the police. What do you think this means?"
"this...."
Before Bai Hongwei said anything, Chen Bai spoke.
"But I have to say that Kong Bingxuan is actually right. The person who did this is indeed an acquaintance."
Both Kong Bingxuan and Bai Hongwei were a little confused, but Chen Bai didn't say any more.
"Let's go! Go out and have a smoke!"
Chen Bai said and took Bai Hongwei out. When the two came outside, Bai Hongwei finally couldn't help it anymore.
"What on earth do you want to say?"
Chen Bai didn't say anything else. He lit a cigarette and handed one to Bai Hongwei.
"There are no kidnappers at all. Elsa is most likely killed."
"What?"
Bai Hongwei was surprised when he heard this. Chen Bai could conclude that Elsa was killed without looking at anything.
"Actually, it's very simple. You think about this question. This house actually has a lot of surveillance. If Elsa was really kidnapped, how could it not be discovered? I just looked at this room from the outside. This
You can't get out of the villa's windows at all, the windows on the first floor can't be opened, and the only balcony is locked from the inside. If Elsa was really kidnapped, how do you think the kidnappers left?"
Bai Hongwei nodded, and Chen Bai looked at him and knew that he actually did not understand what he meant.
"I mean, Elsa was killed, and it was probably Elsa's parents who did it."
"Chen Bai, do you know what you are talking about?"
Kong Bingxuan stood behind the two of them at some point. Chen Bai turned around and put out his cigarette butts and said with a smile.
"What? Then do you have any other inferences now?"
"Chen Bai, do you know what you are talking about? They are Elsa's parents. How could they hurt Elsa? Are you hard-hearted? Or have you never felt the love of your parents at all?"
Chen Bai stared at Kong Bingxuan, and Kong Bingxuan stared at Chen Bai. Bai Hongwei felt that the two would fight at any time, and at this moment Chen Bai suddenly spoke.
"Some people in this world live in sunshine, so they think this world is sunny, but what they don't know is that many people in this world actually live in darkness. Do you think Elsa's parents care about her?
Is love pure? Kong Bingxuan, you are still far away, there are some things you haven’t seen yet.”
After Chen Bai finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Okay, it's completely pointless for us to discuss this now. The most important thing now is to wait for news about the kidnappers."
But after waiting for a day and a night, no news of the kidnappers came. Bai Hongwei and others called for support, and then took everyone back.
"Hello!"
Chen Bai picked up the phone and heard Bai Hongwei's anxious voice from the other side.
"Chen Bai, you are really right. Elsa was indeed killed. The murderer placed Elsa's body on the lawn of their villa."
"immediately!"
Chen Bai put down the phone and set off immediately.
"What's going on?"
When Chen Bai arrived, a warning cordon had been set up around him. Bai Hongwei saw Chen Bai coming and hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Now that you're here, everything has turned into a mess."
Chen Bai saw Bai Hongwei's anxious look and asked quickly.
"What's going on?"
"That's it. Elsa's parents found Elsa's body in the garage early this morning. Because our people were at the scene, we immediately protected the scene. But..."
When Bai Hongwei said this, he seemed to be hesitant to speak. Chen Bai knew that this matter must not be simple.
"It's like this. Elsa's parents have always disagreed with the autopsy, and they also said that the child has suffered so much and they don't want the child to suffer anymore. And more importantly, it is not known when Elsa was kidnapped.
It has been fermented on the Internet, and now many netizens are asking people from the police to give an explanation."
Chen Bai rubbed his chin, this matter must not be that simple. The police were so heavily guarded, how could the kidnappers bring the body back?
"Take me to the scene to see it!"
Bai Hongwei nodded, but when they walked to the door of the villa, they saw Elsa's parents standing at the door and yelling at everyone.
"Didn't I say that my child can return safely? But what is going on now? Why is my child dead?"
"I said at the time not to call the police, not to call the police. It's not like we can't afford the money. Isn't the return of the child more important than anything else? But look at the use of calling the police!"
Elsa's mother burst into tears, but Chen Bai saw a hint of panic in their eyes.
"You two, we are very sad that something like this happened. I fully understand your feelings. But only with your cooperation can we catch the murderer early and give Elsa justice."
"Justice? What's the use of justice? Even if you catch them all and shoot them, can my child come back? My child is gone, and I don't want her to suffer anymore."
The woman's attitude did not give in at all, and the man looked at Chen Bai and said sternly.
"My daughter is already dead, how can I trust you police people? Well, I hope you go back quickly, I don't want to see you again."
After the man finished speaking, he took the woman and was about to go back, but Chen Bai stopped the two of them.
"You two, it seems that your thinking is too simple. This is a criminal case and we have the right to conduct an autopsy. It is useless whether you agree or not."
Chen Bai was now sure that the couple must know something.
"You two, I know you feel uncomfortable, but please believe in us again. We will definitely find the murderer of your daughter."
The two looked at each other and finally agreed to the police taking away their daughter's body.
"By the way, where did you find your daughter's body? We need to investigate the scene!"
When Elsa's father heard this, he led everyone to the scene without saying a word, but what Chen Bai never expected was that the place where Elsa's body was found was actually the garage.
"How did you find your daughter's body here?"
The man looked at Chen Bai, took a deep breath and said.
"I came here in the morning to get the lighter I put in the car a few days ago. Unexpectedly, I saw my daughter's body as soon as I came in, so I called you quickly."
Of course Chen Bai would not believe what the man said, but after the man said it, he excused himself and went out because he felt uncomfortable.
"I think the most important thing for us now is to see if there are any signs of break-in in the garage. As long as we find the traces left by the murderer, we can solve the case. Of course, this is not only responsible for the victim, but also to end some psychological problems.
The fantasy of an unhealthy person.”
Chen Bai gave a helpless smile. Although he would not argue with Kong Bingxuan, she still made him a little angry because she kept targeting him.
"Okay, please stop arguing. I'll call Medical Examiner Song over first. Kong Bingxuan goes and takes the confession."
"yes!"
After Kong Bingxuan finished speaking, he turned around and went out.
"What do you think?"
Chen Bai put on gloves and carefully inspected the place where Elsa's body was found.
"I don't know yet, but doesn't their home have surveillance cameras? If we look at the surveillance cameras at the door, wouldn't we know everything?"
After Da Binzi finished speaking, Chen Bai and Bai Hongwei shook their heads at the same time.
"You can watch it, but it's of no use. If their surveillance camera can capture the kidnapper bringing the body back and the kidnapper taking Elsa away, then we won't have to worry."
Song Anchun arrived at the scene quickly, but after her preliminary inspection, the results were not optimistic.
"After my preliminary autopsy, Elsa's death time was three days ago, and her body must have been placed in a place with sufficient air conditioning. Rigor mortis has not subsided, and it should have started after three days of death in this kind of weather.
Corruption is right, but Elsa's body showed no signs of decay. And the most important point is that although Elsa was suffocated to death, there were no strangulation marks on her neck. She was killed by someone covering her mouth and nose with something.
of."
Chen Bai nodded and looked at the garage carefully.
"Actually, this murderer is also an interesting person. After trying so hard to kidnap Elsa, not only did he not say when the ransom would be paid, but he also killed the person and sent her back. What do you think this murderer was thinking?
?”
After Chen Bai finished speaking, several people were a little confused.
"Yes, I can tell you one more thing. When I checked the body just now, I found a small amount of bruises on Elsa's body, which shows that Elsa tried to resist when she was killed. And Elsa
The bruises on her body appeared on both hands and forearms, and it looked like someone pressed Elsa's hands with their legs and then suffocated her with something."
Chen Bai nodded, but he was only concerned about one question now, why Elsa's body appeared in the garage.
"Okay, let's go out and see how the recording of Kong Bingxuan's confession went?"
When a few people left, Kong Bingxuan had already finished asking questions.
"Okay, let's discuss it first!"
When everyone returned to the police station, Bai Hongwei immediately gathered them together.
"Captain, let's talk first!"
A young man wearing glasses stood up first and distributed the information in his hand to everyone.
"After the captain returned, we carefully searched the room and found no trace of anyone breaking in. But the parents of the deceased told us something, that is, when they discovered Elsa was missing, El
Elsa's bed was made very clean, and the weight of the quilt was impossible for a child to clean, so they suspected that the murderer also tidied the room before kidnapping Elsa."
"You mean, the murderer not only kidnapped Elsa quietly but also cleaned up the room? How is this possible?"
Kong Bingxuan was a little disdainful. In her opinion, this was simply impossible.
"We didn't believe it at first, but it was a clue after all. When we were about to fall asleep this morning, the father of the deceased suddenly woke us up and said that he had found his daughter's body.
That’s why I quickly contacted the captain.”
The young police officer posted the photo of the crime scene as he spoke, but at this moment Chen Bai discovered a problem.
"Wait a minute, look at the photo you took. The door to their garage is locked, right? Since it's locked, how did the murderer get in?"
After Bai Hongwei finished speaking, the young police officer quickly took out a photo from the file bag.
"That's right, we found a broken lock outside the deceased's father's garage."
As he said that, the young police officer put a photo on the whiteboard.
"They all use fingerprint locks in their garages. Can this kind of lock be broken so easily?"
Bai Hongwei was a little curious. He had an impression of this lock. Elsa's house all used this kind of lock.
"Yes, this is also something we have some doubts about, but at that time our attention was all on Elsa who fell to the ground."
"Wait a moment!"
Chen Bai, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He pointed at the photo on the whiteboard and asked with some confusion.
"What happened to the blanket on Elsa? Was it there when the body was found, or was it covered later?"
Chen Bai noticed that Elsa's body was covered with a red blanket, and the huge blanket covered her whole body.
"We have asked about this. According to the father of the deceased, this is what he looked like when he found it."
Chen Bai nodded and then said.
"In criminal psychology, there have been many such cases. The murderer covered the victim with something after committing the crime. This is actually a sign of guilt. Often, the perpetrators of such cases are acquaintances."
"Okay! Stop showing off your knowledge. The police solve cases based on evidence, not your illogical speculations."
