Kidnapping is a highly intelligent crime. Most kidnapping cases are carefully planned before being carried out. The police need to battle wits and courage with criminals. In addition to using high-tech criminal investigation equipment, they also need to invest a large number of police forces to round up and attack.
The process of a kidnapping case is generally as follows:
1. Choose a target, usually a rich person or a child of a rich person.
Second, hostages are hidden in remote suburbs, wild areas or abandoned houses.
3. Contact family members, make demands, and extort money. In the past, when communications were less developed, extortion was usually carried out by letter. In order to avoid the handwriting being recognized, some criminals would use words from newspapers to piece together a letter. Modern kidnapping cases usually use
Notify family members by phone.
Fourth, collecting the ransom is the most easily exposed link in the entire kidnapping process. If the family members call the police or ask relatives and friends for help, their whereabouts may be exposed when the ransom is collected. This link most tests the IQ of the criminals.
5. Release the hostages or kill them.
Professor Liang made careful arrangements on the balcony of Su Mei's house. Director Ye bowed his head and obeyed the order, and the policewoman Azi recorded the key points of the work. According to Professor Liang's request, the Pujiang Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Chibei District Bureau deployed elite soldiers and strong soldiers.
Divided into three working groups.
Bao Zhan is in charge of the investigation team and carries out peripheral work around the two victims - Wang Jia and Xiao Xi - focusing on investigating the family and social relationships of the two victims. Many kidnapping cases are committed by acquaintances, and this must be investigated clearly.
.
Hualong commanded the tracking team. The command vehicle was a disguised van with a shabby appearance and the word "dairy" printed on the carriage. It was parked at a hidden location near Xiao Xi's home. A team of experienced investigators and armed police
Sit in the car and be ready at any time. It is also equipped with bicycles and motorcycles for flexible tracking. There is also a small dressing room in the car. The investigator can change into a food delivery person, a cycling enthusiast, a hawker, etc. at any time to conduct
Investigation.
Su Mei and Azi were responsible for monitoring technical support. The kidnappers contacted the victim's family by phone. Su Mei's job was to monitor and record, and immediately locate the kidnapper's activity area and the approximate hiding place of the hostages.
It plays a key role in catching criminals and successfully rescuing hostages.
Xiao Xi's parents are in business. After their daughter was kidnapped, they were worried. They processed a batch of goods according to the kidnapper's requirements and raised 500,000 yuan. They only wanted their daughter to be safe and were not concerned about whether they could catch the kidnapper.
.
Professor Liang said that only by catching the kidnappers can Xiao Xi be rescued. Don't expect the criminals to be merciful.
Xiao Xi’s mother said: I’m so worried. I don’t know what’s going on with my child now.
Professor Liang said: If the kidnapper calls, you must listen to Xiaoxi's voice to confirm whether the child is alive.
Xiaoxi's father said: "I will come up with 500,000 yuan in three days. Today is the last day. The money is ready. Why haven't I called yet?"
Professor Liang said: There are still more than 20 hours, just wait patiently, the police will go all out to catch the kidnappers and rescue Xiao Xi.
Su Mei installed monitoring software on Xiao Xi's parents' mobile phones, and used computers to control the terminals, keeping them on 24 hours a day. If the kidnappers called, try to delay as much time as possible so that the police could be prepared.
Su Mei said: This is the most powerful mobile phone monitoring software in the world.
Bao Zhan asked: Why do you say that?
Su Mei said, because this software was developed and produced by me.
Hualong said: Just blow it, how powerful are you?
Su Mei said: In addition to the monitoring function, it also has the function of geolocation. More importantly, even if the mobile phone is in standby mode, the surrounding environmental sounds can be heard. We can find the hiding place of the kidnappers through sound analysis.
Bao Zhan said: The kidnappers must have thought of this, and they must have a better way.
Bao Zhan visited and investigated the families and schools of the two victims. Wang Jia's murder shocked all teachers and students in the school. This little boy was in the sixth grade of elementary school. His grades were average, but he was lively and cute, and was loved by his teachers and classmates.
In his schoolbag were a red scarf, a yo-yo, and the round playing cards that children often play with. People couldn't believe that such a cute little boy would be kidnapped and killed, and then crushed into a meat pie on the highway.
The school established a school guard team. The popular story is that after school, Wang Jia was put on a sack over his head, carried into a car and taken away. Wang Jia’s father was a bus driver, and his mother ran a street vendor at the night market. The family did not have much money.
Money, it is probably because of this that the kidnappers decisively killed Xiao Wang Jia and dumped his body on the road.
Bao Zhan ruled out the possibility of an acquaintance committing the crime, as Wang Jia's parents said: My family has no money, life is so difficult, the house loan has not been repaid, and relatives and neighbors know about it, what is the use of kidnapping my child?
The Forensic Identification Center of the Pujiang Public Security Bureau conducted another autopsy on the deceased Wang Jia. Because the body was run over many times by vehicles, it is very difficult to find clues left by the murderer. A child turned into a cake, what a great external force it suffered,
As you can imagine, during the second autopsy, the forensic doctor made new discoveries. There were some jute fibers in Wang Jia's hair and collar. This seemed to confirm the theory circulated in the school that Wang Jia had been covered by a sack.
Bao Zhan ordered the school to hold a mobilization meeting for the whole school to encourage the children to tell what they saw, but no witnesses were found.
The special case team concealed the information about Xiao Xi's kidnapping in order to paralyze the kidnappers and strive for more favorable detection conditions.
Xiaoxi was in the first grade of junior high school. She was a big-eyed girl with long bangs. She liked to watch Chibi Maruko-chan. She was obsessed with TVXQ and Yunho was her favorite. Xiaoxi was wearing school uniform and carrying a backpack when she was kidnapped. After school in the afternoon, she told her classmates
Claiming that he went to buy milk tea, he never returned.
Bao Zhan made a reasoning analysis:
The kidnappers have cars and use deception and coercion to kidnap, and the number of people is two or more. The kidnappers are timid and cautious, and one of them may be a woman. They are unwilling or dare not confront the police head-on. After the kidnapping, they first conduct a secret
Observation shows that once their family members call the police, they will give up decisively. The targets they choose are all older children over ten years old. Parents and schools generally relax supervision of children of this age group, and the children can give out their home address and family phone numbers.
Number. The kidnappers purchased multiple phone cards in advance. Each card was used only once and then discarded. They changed the location of the call multiple times, which has anti-reconnaissance capabilities.
The special case team laid out a dragnet and waited for the kidnapper to call.
This case is full of suspense. The special case team cannot guess where the kidnappers will let the family members place the money or how they will obtain the ransom.
The author of this article has studied a large number of kidnapping cases and found that there are various ways to collect ransom. Some kidnappers require the money to be transferred to a designated account in the bank. This is the stupidest method, because domestic ATMs have a withdrawal limit, and they can only withdraw money within a day.
If you can withdraw 20,000 yuan, no kidnapper dares to withdraw money at the counter and wait for the police to catch him. Even if you withdraw money at the bank counter, there is only a limit of 50,000 yuan per day. Other more clever ways to get the ransom, such as throwing money on the train,
Sneaking out of sewers to take money, taking money in places with a large flow of people, etc. all test the police's reaction ability. Most cases of kidnapping are solved because the kidnappers are too stupid rather than because the police are too smart.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the kidnapper finally called. Xiaoxi's parents were worried about their daughter and had not slept well for several days. When they saw it was an unfamiliar number, they immediately connected the number. Su Mei, who was responsible for monitoring the mobile phone, also immediately activated an emergency plan.
, record and analyze the geographical location of incoming calls.
The following is the conversation between the kidnapper and Xiaoxi’s parents——
Xiaoxi’s dad: Hey, hey, who are you and who are you looking for?
The other party was silent for five seconds, and then a gloomy, nasal voice said: Have you got all the money ready?
Xiaoxi’s father: Okay, it’s done, five hundred thousand, every penny is more.
The kidnapper said: Give me the money tomorrow and I will release you.
Xiaoxi's mother answered the phone and said: Can you guarantee that my daughter is okay? I will give you the money only if she is okay. Five hundred thousand is not a small amount. The family sold a batch of goods at a low price. Anyway, let me listen to Xiaoxi's story.
Voice, you're just trying to make money, don't do whatever you want, let me listen to my child...
The kidnapper said: Don't worry, your child caught a cold. I gave her some medicine and she fell asleep.
Xiaoxi's mother said: Tell me, who did my daughter offend? You didn't hit her, right? Wake up Xiaoxi and let me listen. I'll say a few words to her to tell her not to be afraid...
The kidnapper interrupted and said: You don't want your child's life. This is not good for the child. Did your family call the police?
Xiaoxi's father grabbed the phone and said: I didn't call the police, absolutely not. I know what to do about some things. The child's mother is just eager to hear her child's voice. You have to understand.
The kidnapper said: I will let you know that the child is okay, just listen to me first.
Xiaoxi's father said: OK, OK, I listen to you, you say it.
The kidnapper said: Tomorrow, at two o'clock in the afternoon, you can drive your car, bring your money, and wait at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China on Jianshe Road. You must do as I say. You can only come alone, bring your money, and your mobile phone.
, you and your wife both have mobile phones with you, and some change.
Xiaoxi's father said: At two o'clock in the afternoon, in front of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, right? OK, OK, you must not do anything to my daughter...
The kidnapper said: Just look at the blood on your fingers and you will know.
Xiaoxi’s father said: What?
The kidnapper said: Your child is fine. If you dare to call the police and play tricks, what you see next time will not be like this.
Xiaoxi's father said: I don't understand what you mean?
The kidnapper said: I repeat, tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, go to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China on Jianshe Road. You can drive to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and bring the money. I will give you something.
Xiaoxi’s father said: Thing, what thing, where is it?
The kidnapper said: Open the door and you will see it.
The phone was hung up, and Xiao Xi's parents went to open the door. No one was outside. There was a plastic pencil case on the ground. When they opened the box, Xiao Xi's parents screamed at the same time... This pencil case belonged to Xiao Xi, and there was nothing in it.
There were only two bloody fingernails on the pen.
