? Tang Guobin grabbed the phone and slowly brought it to his ear. Xu Qing tiptoed to the front, tilted her head and raised her ears to listen to the voice coming from the phone.
"Master Tang, thank you for kicking the family out. We like to deal with sincere people. We've been waiting for you for a long time."
The other party's voice has obviously been transformed by some kind of special sound effect. It's like scratching a glass plate with a blunt instrument. It's impossible to tell the difference between male and female, but the sound makes people's eardrums itchy.
"The money is ready, be quick, pay the money with one hand and release the person with the other." Tang Guobin stated his request very directly. One hundred million US dollars is not worth mentioning compared to the safety of his father. Of course, the prerequisite is
He has collected enough of this huge sum of money.
"Hey! It's cool, but it's still early before the agreed time. You can have lunch with your friends, and I'll let you know then."
The phone was hung up without any hesitation. Xu Qing was a little confused. Why did the kidnappers know that Tang Guobin invited the police out, and also knew that he was staying with a few friends? This is a bit strange.
Tang Guobin put down the microphone in his hand and said in a deep voice: "These guys called here specifically to test, for what purpose?"
Xu Qing frowned and pondered for a long time without guessing the reason. The kidnappers obviously knew something about what happened in the villa, but they seemed to be a little unsure. The accent sounded a bit like vernacular. Could these guys really be on the run?
Are you coming to Jiangcheng?
"Master Tang, I think the kidnappers are experts and have carefully planned every step. Maybe there are people from them monitoring this villa somewhere now."
Arrow used to be a retired veteran of the Special Forces. He received professional training in counter-terrorism and was able to analyze things in a clear and logical manner.
Abao said: "Mr. Tang, I think we should first ask someone to investigate the surrounding residents to see if there are any short-term rental villas. I think the kidnappers must find a fixed location if they want to set up control around the villa."
Tang Guobin frowned and said: "The most important thing now is dad's safety. If we are found to be investigating them privately, will it embarrass dad? It will be self-defeating then."
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Although I say that, waiting is not an option. At least we have to take some initiative."
"Actually, it's not difficult to check this. I'll ask someone to do it right away." Tang Guobin nodded seriously, and Xu Qing added: "Try to use the most low-key and tactful way, and pay special attention to see if there are any outsiders who speak the vernacular recently.
Come rent a house.”
He had almost unreasonable trust in what Xu Qing said about Tang Guobin. He immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. The entire villa complex was built by the Tang Corporation. It was not difficult to check this information, but he had to use a low-key method.
The method will take some effort.
No one paid much attention to the details of the phone call. It was not difficult to check this matter with the energy of the Tang family. Half an hour later, a call came to Tang Guobin's mobile phone. The result of the investigation had been completed.
There are six in total, two of which are relatively close to the Tang family villa.
The two households closest to each other were all non-locals. What made Xu Qing a little disappointed was that none of the households spoke vernacular.
"Qingzi, do you think it's useful to check this? We can't ask people to knock on the door, right?" Tang Guobin put the phone away with a sad expression on his face.
Xu Qing stood up and glanced at the wall clock on the wall. It was now a quarter past nine, nearly three hours away from the time agreed by the kidnappers. He suddenly made a puzzling move and began to strip off his clothes and pants.
He whispered in his mouth: "Brother Tang, have someone help me get me clothes of a more ordinary color, and preferably a peaked cap."
Tang Guobin immediately ordered A Luo to go upstairs to get it. After a while, he fetched a set of light gray casual clothes and a baseball cap. Xu Qing took it and immediately changed clothes. He decided to go to the short-term rental villa he had just found.
See, in order to avoid being discovered, it is necessary to change clothes.
The casual clothes fit him perfectly. Xu Qing put his baseball cap on his head and asked in a low voice: "Is there a back door here?"
Tang Guobin had already guessed what this boy was going to do. He shook his head and said: "There is no back door, but the kitchen window is not sealed. You can climb out to the garden."
Xu Qing nodded, stretched out his hand to He Shang on the side and said: "Bring me a headset and keep in touch at any time." He had a guest appearance as a special forces soldier in Tianjing Prison and he still knew how to use a communication headset.
Mobile phones are compact and much easier to use.
He Shang immediately took out a pair of wireless headsets and two small things that looked like blow flies and handed them to Xu Qing, with a palm-sized LCD screen attached to them.
"Boss, this kind of voice-controlled fly is effective within two hundred and fifty yards. You can control its flight direction by connecting to the headset and using voice ㊣(4). Specific images can be observed on the display screen. There are also listening methods here.
Sound hole, I used it to watch the deputy team take a bath when I was at the Wuhun base... Hey, hey!"
He Shang accidentally spilled the beans and quickly coughed twice to cover it up, but a sudden blast hit the guy on the back of the head without any suspense.
"What a shame, if you didn't take out such a good thing earlier, don't forget to count me in next time you watch it." Xu Qing grabbed the headset and put it on angrily, picked up a voice-activated fly and placed it on the
Palm said in a deep voice: "Take off!"
Come on, the fly made no sound as if it was dead. He Shang smiled sarcastically and pressed a red button in the lower left corner of the display. The fly in Xu Qing's palm trembled.
"Try again! There are two red buttons. Pressing one can activate a fly..."
Xu Qing turned his head and glanced at this guy, and said in a deep voice: "Take off!" The fly in his palm flapped its wings and slowly flew up in front of everyone's surprised eyes.
"Turn left, fly straight, turn around, left..." Xu Qing whispered a series of instructions into the headset, and the flies in the air made a series of movements as if they were alive. This high-tech gadget made everyone except He Shang
Everyone was amazed.
"Land!" The last command blurted out, and the fly landed on the top of the cabinet in a suite on the second floor. Xu Qing took a look at the display screen in his hand. He could see all the furnishings in the room. It was indeed an obedient thing.
Good stuff.
After retracting the fly, Xu Qing put the monitor into his pocket, nodded and said: "It will be much more convenient with this thing. Ah Luo, take me to climb through the window."
A Luo nodded and led Xu Qing into the kitchen. There was a security window that was not welded shut, leaving a barred window for exiting, which was only fixed with a latch.
Xu Qing opened the latch and climbed onto the window sill. Just as he was about to slip out, he heard A Luo behind him say: "Mr. Xu, there are anti-theft nails on the garden wall. Be careful."
