Xiao Lou used the last few seconds before he was kidnapped to leave behind the drone. The clues captured by the card from high altitude were very crucial. With the license plate number, Yu Hanjiang could quickly track the location of the van.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Hanjiang immediately turned around and went to the Public Security Bureau of Qingshui Town, asking the local criminal police to help him obtain surveillance video to track the van.
The young detective looked at his police officer ID and his eyes widened: "Are you the Yu team from the city bureau? Come in quickly!"
Yu Hanjiang followed the young man strode to the door of the detachment office, pushed the door open and entered.
There was a meeting in the office, and the ppt screen showed bloody photos of various crime scenes. A bearded man was explaining the case with a laser pointer. When he saw Yu Hanjiang entering the room, he raised his eyebrows in confusion: "This
yes?"
The young police officer who led Yu Hanjiang into the house said: "Boss, this is Team Yu from the city bureau."
The man immediately stood up and came to greet him, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Captain Yu, I am Liu Haoming from the Qingshui Town detachment. I just called the city bureau. I didn't expect you to come here so soon."
The distance between the urban area and Qingshui Town meant that it would take at least three hours to drive here after receiving the call. Yu Hanjiang definitely did not come here after answering the call. Thinking of this, Liu Haoming patted his forehead hard: "You are... originally in Qingshui
Town?"
"Well, investigate the case." Yu Hanjiang shook hands with him and asked, "Why did you call the city bureau?" His cell phone was broken while chasing the killer, so he didn't receive a call from his colleagues in the city bureau.
.
"That's it." Captain Liu Haoming opened the ppt, playing the photos of the scene, and said in a low voice, "A serial murder occurred here, and I would like to invite experts from the city bureau to come over and help with the investigation." He fixed the scene at noon.
The hotel’s birthday party said: “The first deceased, Zhong Yongqiang, held his 60th birthday at the Hua’an Hotel at noon today and was poisoned in full view of the public. We tested and analyzed the evidence brought at the scene and found it in the wine glass.
It’s highly poisonous, but we still haven’t found out who poisoned it.”
"Are there any other dead people?" Yu Hanjiang knew very well what happened to Mr. Zhong. He was at the scene at the time. What puzzled him was the "serial murder case" that Captain Liu mentioned.
"The name of the second deceased was He Rong, and he was Zhong Yongqiang's nephew." Liu Haoming pressed the laser pointer to open the next photo, and saw He Rong lying on the driver's seat of a private car with his eyes wide open, with a distinct stripe on his neck.
Le Hen said, "At 1:30 p.m., He Rong came to the police station with us to take notes. Since he had no motive for murder and had never been exposed to the poisonous wine, I put him back first. Unexpectedly, around 4 p.m.
After receiving a report, He Rong died in his car."
"..." Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly as he looked at the photos of the scene.
Obviously, He Rong was also silenced. People from this mysterious organization were always one step ahead of the police and silenced important witnesses found by the police - Cheng Shaofeng, Zhong Yongqiang, and He Rong, died one after another during their investigation.
Who is so powerful? Who actually knows the trends of the police investigation?
"These two deceased persons are important witnesses in the case I am investigating. The murder case in Qingshui Town will be investigated immediately with the city bureau's 1.25 corpse dismemberment case. Captain Liu, please provide all the information of the two deceased persons.
Pass it to me." Yu Hanjiang said simply.
"Okay!" Captain Liu was eager to get rid of this hot potato and hurriedly called on his subordinates to bring the file to Yu Hanjiang.
"Help me check the owner information of the car 'Bin a-78964', and immediately retrieve the surveillance video from the south side of Wencheng Road between 2:00 and 2:30 in the afternoon to track this car." Yu Hanjiang moved a picture
He sat down on the chair with an extremely serious expression. Although he didn't know why he was checking this car, but when he met the man's cold gaze, Captain Liu immediately waved his hand to greet his subordinates: "Go check it quickly!"
"Yes!" Several subordinates hurriedly took action.
"Team Liu, Bin A-78964, black van, the owner is He Rong." A female police officer quickly reported the results.
"He Rong's car?" Yu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
At that time, Xiao Lou came out of the coffee shop, walked around the corner, and was kidnapped when he came to the inaccessible Wencheng Road. At that time, He Rong should have been taken back by the police to make a record. Judging from the surveillance video of the drone, he was kidnapped.
The person in Xiao Lou was not He Rong. Obviously, the other party deliberately drove the person away in He Rong's car and then killed He Rong. This would lead to death without any evidence.
"Where's the monitoring?" Yu Hanjiang asked in a deep voice.
"It's been transferred out. Captain Yu, please come here." A young police officer said positively.
Yu Hanjiang got up and followed him to the monitoring room. The dense monitoring pictures on the big screen basically covered all the main roads in Qingshui Town. The monitoring in the Wencheng Road area was zoomed in by Yu Hanjiang for observation. At 2:15 in the afternoon, Xiao Lou appeared at the corner without knowing it.
He was attacked by someone, and he suddenly fell down. Immediately afterwards, a black van drove over and lifted him into the car.
"Kidnapping?" Captain Liu was stunned.
Yu Hanjiang did not explain, but said solemnly: "Follow this car."
14:18, the black van appeared at the end of Wencheng Road, turned right into Lilac Avenue; at 14:20, the car encountered a red light at the intersection, stayed for 1 minute, then turned right into Haihu Road...
As the surveillance images continued to switch, the car's movement track was precisely locked by Yu Hanjiang.
However, after tracking and tracing, he discovered that the car actually circled back and forth three times along the main road of the town!
Several policemen were confused as they repeatedly adjusted the surveillance. Yu Hanjiang's face became increasingly ugly - this group of people obviously drove back and forth in the town on purpose, making the investigation more difficult.
Until 16:30 in the afternoon, the black van passed a corner and entered the underground garage, and never came out again.
Yu Hanjiang stood up and stared at the entrance with narrowed eyes: "Which community is this?"
Captain Liu hurriedly explained: "It should be Jinxiu Villa. By the way, He Rong's body was also found in the underground garage of Jinxiu Villa. Captain Yu, would you like to take a look at the scene?"
Jinxiu Villa is the high-end community where He Rong bought three apartments and renovated them into a mansion for his uncle to live in. The van in which Xiao Lou was kidnapped finally drove into Jinxiu Villa, and He Rong was killed in the garage again. What happened in the underground garage
What will be crucial.
Yu Hanjiang immediately turned around: "Go to the underground garage!"
Two police cars roared toward the underground garage of Jinxiu Villa.
It was six o'clock in the evening, and a full four hours had passed since Xiao Lou disappeared. Yu Hanjiang clenched his fists and tried to stay calm - he had to calm down to search and analyze clues, and only in this way could Xiao Lou be rescued.
The underground garage of Jinxiu Villa has two floors: negative one and negative two.
Several people asked the security guards to lead the way into the garage, and soon discovered the black van "Bama A-78964".
Seeing this car parked quietly in a private parking space, Yu Hanjiang's heart beat violently - he was really afraid that when he opened the car door, he would see Xiao Lou lying in a pool of blood. Such a scene would be absolutely unacceptable to him!
Captain Liu didn't know the situation, so he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to go forward and open the door.
The car door was locked, and the two policemen spent a lot of effort to open the door. Yu Hanjiang looked back - the car was empty, and no blood was found, which made him slightly relieved.
Yu Hanjiang crouched and got into the car. He took the fingerprint detector handed over by Team Liu and searched the car carefully, not missing any corner. But to his disappointment, no fingerprints were found in the car, not even on the steering wheel.
fingerprint.
Captain Liu said: "These kidnappers should have worn gloves when driving? Their anti-reconnaissance capabilities are quite professional!"
Yu Hanjiang gave a low "hmm" and continued to search carefully in the car.
Captain Liu asked: "Who was kidnapped?"
Yu Hanjiang simply said: "My colleagues came to Qingshui Town to investigate the case."
"I'll go!" Team Liu gasped, "These people are so damn courageous!"
Yu Hanjiang remained silent and continued to search the carriage.
No useful clues were found in all the drawers and mezzanines in the car. He got out of the car and went to the back seat, picked up the flashlight and searched every inch, even under the seat.
Suddenly, he saw a card lying quietly in a secret corner under the back seat.
Yu Hanjiang lay down, reached under the seat, reached the card with difficulty, and grabbed it in his palm.
When the other policemen weren't paying attention, he quickly opened his palm and looked at the card.
——Eavesdropping device.
It's Ye Qi's card.
This shows that the kidnappers used this car when they took away Ye Qi and Lao Mo. Ye Qi may not have lost consciousness when he was caught in the car. He probably put the bug terminals on those people and put them
The card was left under the car seat. In this way, as long as Yu Hanjiang found the card, he could activate the bug and hear the movements of those people.
Xiaoye reacted quickly enough at the critical moment. Yu Hanjiang quietly stuffed the card into his pocket and said, "Take me to see the scene where He Rong was killed."
Captain Liu took Yu Hanjiang a few steps forward, pointed to a red sedan in front, and said: "He Rong died in this car. The cause of death was mechanical asphyxia. The time of death was around 3:30 in the afternoon.
After our analysis of the scene, it is very likely that someone had been hiding in the back seat of his car, and after he got in the car, he suddenly strangled him with a rope from behind."
"What was the result of the on-site evidence collection?"
"No evidence such as fingerprints or hair was found, and the murder weapon was not found. The method of committing the crime was very clean."
"Have the surveillance cameras in the garage been adjusted?"
"The surveillance on the second floor below is all fucking broken!" Captain Liu said angrily, "The murderer should be very familiar with this community. Maybe the surveillance was destroyed by the murderer!"
Yu Hanjiang nodded clearly - this was what he expected. The surveillance in the garage on the second floor was destroyed. There would be no clues left behind for kidnapping and killing here. He Rong died in his car.
As for Xiao Lou, Ye Qi and Lao Mo, they must have been moved after the van drove into the second floor.
All vehicles leaving the community are suspected. However, the scope of the investigation is too wide and it is difficult to locate the target in a short time.
Yu Hanjiang thought for a while and said: "Captain Liu, please ask the community property management to obtain monitoring after 3:30 pm. All information on vehicles leaving the community must not be leaked. In addition, take the elevator from the second floor to the first floor.
All suspicious persons who come upstairs must also be investigated."
Captain Liu nodded: "Understood!"
Seeing the man turning around to leave, Captain Liu was stunned and said: "Captain Yu, where are you going?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "I have other clues to investigate. If you have any progress, please contact me anytime. By the way... my mobile phone was broken. Can you lend me a mobile phone?"
Team Liu arranged for his men to get a new mobile phone and handed it to Yu Hanjiang. Yu Hanjiang took out the phone card from the broken mobile phone, put it into the new mobile phone, left the number, thanked them, and quickly left Jinxiu Villa.
He found his car and after carefully observing that there was no abnormality in the car, he got into the car and opened the bug card left by Ye Qi.
******
【Chapter 345, Action Plan】
The terminal on the other side of the bug must have been placed on the kidnappers with Xiaoye's wit.
Unfortunately, Ye Qi's eavesdropping card has a distance limit. The maximum eavesdropping range of the card is 500 meters. At this time, there is no sound at all from the eavesdropping device, indicating that Ye Qi's location at this time exceeds 500 meters.
Yu Hanjiang put the bug in his ear, started the car, and while searching around the town, he called Shao Qingge: "Mr. Shao, can you contact Xiaoye?"
Shao Qingge's voice revealed a trace of helplessness: "I can't get in touch with my heart. He should still be in a coma."
"Where are you?" Yu Hanjiang looked at his watch. It was already half past nine in the evening. There were only two and a half hours left before the "ransom payment was due at twelve o'clock in the morning" as mentioned in the WeChat group. Time was quite tight.
"It's still more than an hour before we get to Qingshui Town." Shao Qingge had already reached the speed limit of the expressway. If he drove any higher, he would be stopped by the traffic police, and he was very anxious.
"Don't take any action until you arrive. Follow my instructions. I'm checking the location of Ye Qi and the others." Yu Hanjiang said in a low voice.
"Check the location?" Shao Qingge was startled and asked: "Captain Yu, do you have a way to find their specific location?"
"The drone left by Xiao Lou captured the kidnapper's license plate number. I have used the help of the local police to find the black van. There was no one in the car. They should have been transferred. Fortunately, Ye Qi left clues in the car.
, I have his bug in my hand." Yu Hanjiang explained, "I am driving to conduct a large-scale investigation in Qingshui Town. As long as I hear the sound, I can lock them within a 500-meter radius."
"Did Ye Qi leave a bug?" Shao Qingge gently grasped the steering wheel and couldn't help but blame himself in his heart - being able to leave a bug proved that Xiaoye should have been conscious when he was tied up, but at that time Shao Qingge
In his sleep, Ye Qi may have used telepathy, but did not receive a response from Shao Qingge, so he left a bug in the emergency situation and pinned his hope on Yu Hanjiang.
If he hadn't slept in today, he might have discovered Ye Qi's kidnapping immediately, right?
"I changed my mobile phone and found my phone number. If you have any questions, call me." Yu Hanjiang said.
"Okay." Shao Qingge took a deep breath, ignored the self-blame in his heart, and said: "Captain Yu, be careful, we will rush over as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Shao Qingge stepped on the accelerator hard.
As a violent pushing sensation hit my back, the white sedan sped away like lightning on the highway——
At this time, Xiao Lou was still sitting quietly on the ground, motionless.
It was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't determine the specific time and place.
He and Lao Mo had a connection. Now that both of them have been kidnapped, he must find a way to get in touch with his teammates outside. But the card skills will not be refreshed until 24:00 in the morning, not to mention that his hands are tied and there is no way to activate the card.
Card……
We can only wait for the card skills to be refreshed and find a way to activate Qin Guan's telepathy and establish a connection with Yu Hanjiang.
What time is it now?
He was the only one in the quiet space. He kept trying to contact Lao Mo, but there was no response from Lao Mo.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded in my mind: “Professor Xiao?”
Xiao Lou was shocked and immediately asked: "Old Mo, what's the situation over there now?"
Lao Mo woke up in a daze, a little confused for a moment. But the darkness in front of him and his tied hands made him quickly realize his current situation - he had been kidnapped.
Lao Mo explained with a wry smile: "Ye Qi and I were wandering around the hotel at noon to see if there were any suspicious people coming or going. Not long after, we saw Mr. Zhong being surrounded by people entering the hotel, and we hid in the corner to observe.
As a result, I was attacked from behind, and I quickly lost consciousness, as if I had been drugged and shot."
His experience is similar to that of Xiao Lou. The other person has a professional anesthesia gun and can bring down an adult in an instant.
Xiao Lou asked: "Is Ye Qi with you? How is the environment around you?"
"Xiaoye is not with me. My eyes are blindfolded, I can't see anything, and I can't hear any sound. But I just kicked the ground with my feet and heard an echo. It felt like I was locked in a secret room."
"Is the floor paved with cement?"
"Well, it must be cement." Lao Mo said firmly. He was very sensitive to the judgment of decoration materials. The cement floor, wooden boards, and ceramic tiles had different temperatures and different gloss. His butt was now touching the cold cement floor.
, so cold that the old man couldn't help but tremble.
"Has anyone come in?" Xiao Lou wanted to know more details.
"I don't know about this. I just woke up, and then I heard you calling me in my head." Lao Mo frowned and said worriedly, "Am I being kidnapped? Professor Xiao, where are you?"
"I was also kidnapped. I should be locked up in the same place as you, but in a different room." Xiao Lou paused and comforted, "Don't worry, there are still teammates outside, they will find a way to save us. Old Mo
, the two of us keep in touch at all times. If the contact is interrupted, the card skills will be refreshed at 12 o'clock, and I need to grasp this specific time point."
"Understood." Lao Mo said understandingly, "After the skills are refreshed, you can find a way to contact Captain Yu, right?"
"Well, I hope he hasn't been kidnapped." Xiao Lou said helplessly, "If Captain Yu is also kidnapped, we will find a way to join together and escape together. Don't act rashly for now."
"OK."
Lao Mo and Xiao Lou simply chatted about the case through spiritual connection.
****
Yu Hanjiang drove back and forth three times in Qingshui Town, not even visiting the inaccessible dead-end streets, but there was always silence in the bugging device.
There are two possibilities. Either Ye Qi and the others were taken far away from Qingshui Town, beyond the 500-meter range of the bug, and no sound could be heard; or Ye Qi put the bug on the kidnapper and carried the bug with him.
The person holding the device didn't make any sound.
It is unlikely that there will be no sound at all. At least there will be footsteps when walking.
Therefore, it is more likely that Ye Qi and the others are not in Qingshui Town at this time.
Seeing that the time was getting later, Yu Hanjiang's cell phone rang again: "Captain Yu, we are here." Shao Qingge sent him a location on WeChat. The four of them had just gotten off the highway and were parked in a remote suburb.
Yu Hanjiang said: "Wait for me where you are and come over to join us immediately."
He drove quickly to the location where Shao Qingge was driving. Shao Qingge got out of the car, walked quickly to Yu Hanjiang, and asked anxiously: "What's the result of the bug investigation? Has the range been locked?"
"Not very optimistic." Yu Hanjiang's face turned extremely cold. "Xiaoye's bug can only hear sounds from a distance of 500 meters. They may have been taken to a place far away from Qingshui Town. I walked around the town several times.
I couldn’t even hear any movement on the bugging device.”
"Then what should we do? The time is almost up." Shao Qingge frowned and looked down at his watch.
——23:30, only the last half hour left before the 24:00 agreed by the other party.
At this moment, a message popped up again in the WeChat group.
I saw "Xiao Lou" typing: "Tonight at 24 o'clock, Xishan Cemetery, don't be late. Five people must come together, no one is missing. Otherwise, you will see the bodies of these three friends immediately."
Yu Hanjiang immediately replied: "I want to confirm the safety of these three people and let me speak to them."
The other party said: "There's no need to talk on the phone. Let me show you that they are still alive!"
Three photos were sent to the group.
Xiao Lou and Lao Mo were both blindfolded by black cloth, with their hands tied tightly behind their backs, sitting on the ground; Xiao Ye was huddled in a corner and unconscious like shrimps. The three of them were locked in three rooms respectively, and there were no windows in the room.
, there was no light, it was like a dark basement, it was impossible to tell where it was.
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou in the photo, and his heart stung.
Fortunately, on the surface, Xiao Lou did not suffer any external injuries, and he should not have been beaten or abused. Yu Hanjiang took a deep breath and said in the group: "Meet you at Xishan Cemetery at 24 o'clock, hand over the money with one hand, and hand over the person with the other."
The other party said: "You are not allowed to call the police. Except for Captain Yu, once other police officers are found on the scene, you will immediately see the video of these three friends being dismembered. Do you understand?"
"..." Yu Hanjiang almost dropped his phone in anger.
"Understood, we will try our best to cooperate." He suppressed the anger in his chest and finished typing calmly.
"Very good, see you there." The other party replied using Xiao Lou's mobile phone.
Yu Hanjiang put away his mobile phone and looked up at his four teammates: "Xiaoye, Lao Mo and Xiao Lou's mobile phones were all controlled by them. They saw our chat records in the WeChat group and knew that we had a lot of information. Their
The purpose is to lure us into the trap with a ransom, and then—to destroy us.”
"So, they asked the five of us to go together to deliver the ransom. If we really went, it would be equivalent to throwing ourselves into a trap." Shao Qingge's face was ugly, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "I believe that if we fail to achieve the goal,
At their request, these beasts will immediately take a video of the dismemberment of three people and send it to us using Xiao Lou’s mobile phone.”
"..." Liu Qiao, Long Sen and Qu Wanyue shuddered at the same time.
Thinking of the corpses with missing kidneys seen in the hospital, and then thinking of the scenes of Xiao Lou, Xiao Ye and Lao Mo being dismembered, everyone felt a cold wind coming from the soles of their feet straight to the bottom of their hearts, and the blood in their whole bodies felt chilly.
This is the biggest crisis that their team has encountered. If it is not handled well, Xiao Lou and the other three might really be cut into pieces!
"Fuck you!" Long Sen couldn't help but uttered a curse word, "If the five of us go together, we will probably fall into a trap and be arrested collectively, and Professor Xiao and the others are definitely not in Xishan Cemetery! We have to leave someone to rescue them, right?"
If the five of them go together, they will be collectively punished. If they work separately and fail to meet the other party's requirements, Xiao Lou and the other three may be expelled.
What's more, the five of them went to Xishan Cemetery together. Even if they could beat these people head-on, without rescuing Xiao Lou and the others, their use of force would only put Xiao Lou and the others in danger.
With their teammates still in the hands of the kidnappers, the five of them went to Xishan Cemetery and they still had to be obedient?
Once the collective is caught, isn’t it possible that there will be no chance?!
For a while, everyone was in a dilemma.
Suddenly, Liu Qiao said: "I have a way, I don't know if it will work."
Yu Hanjiang turned back to look at her: "Say."
Liu Qiao took out a card and said: "My [Twin] card can copy the people I have seen within half an hour. Later I will pretend to be Captain Yu, and then summon Little Red Riding Hood and let Little Red Riding Hood pretend to be me. In this way,
We can gather five people in our car." She paused and said, "Little Red Riding Hood will always follow me, at least on the surface, our five-person team is the same."
Qu Wanyue's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. Xiao Liu will pretend to be Captain Yu, and Captain Yu can find a way to save people!"
Yu Hanjiang asked: "How long are you pretending to be a person and how long is Little Red Riding Hood's existence?"
Liu Qiao used the card Twins in the Spades 4 Liuxi Village, and later pretended to be a shark in World Weekly. She rarely used it in subsequent copies, and Yu Hanjiang didn't know the status of her card.
Liu Qiao said: "I can pretend to be Captain Yu for one hour, and Little Red Riding Hood can follow me as long as I don't take it back."
Little Red Riding Hood is Liu Qiao's fairy tale card. It can always follow its master until it is withdrawn, just like a little follower who cannot speak.
Yu Hanjiang thought for a while and nodded simply: "Okay, let's do it."
Liu Qiao used the twin card. Soon, a twin of Yu Hanjiang appeared in front of everyone. They were exactly the same in height, appearance, and even voice. Then, Liu Qiao summoned Little Red Riding Hood, arranged the little girl's clothes, and Qu Wanyue
I helped give Little Red Riding Hood the same hairstyle as Liu Qiao. From a distance, it really looked like Liu Qiao was following Yu Hanjiang.
It should be no problem to get through in the dark.
Yu Hanjiang looked at Liu Qiao with admiration: "Try to speak as little as possible, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion."
Liu Qiao pretended to be Yu Hanjiang and nodded in the same voice: "Don't worry, Captain Yu, I will try my best to imitate your tone of voice."
Shao Qingge turned back to look at Yu Hanjiang and said: "The five of us will go to Xishan Cemetery to pay the ransom now and act according to the situation. The rescue of them... depends on you, Hanjiang."
This is the first time that Shao Qingge has called Yu Hanjiang by his name. We have known each other for such a long time and have always called him Mr. Shao and Captain Yu. It feels very strange.
But at this moment, Yu Hanjiang saw a hint of firmness and trust in Shao Qingge's eyes.
They are brothers in life and death.
Shao Qingge stretched out his hand, and Yu Hanjiang also stretched out his hand. The two held hands tightly and gave each other some encouragement.
This organization has a large number of firearms and its members are cold-blooded and cruel.
No one knows whether they can come back alive from this trip.
What Shao Qingge and the others face is the risk of being wiped out in one fell swoop. But what Yu Hanjiang has to face is the possibility of not being able to find Xiao Lou and the others' hiding place, thus causing their teammates to be wiped out in despair.
Yu Hanjiang turned to look at the sky in the distance. The dark night sky was filled with stars. Their current location was due north of Qingshui Town, still 20 minutes' drive from Xishan Cemetery.
Liu Qiao pretends to be Yu Hanjiang and can last for 1 hour.
The real Yu Hanjiang only had this one hour to find Xiao Lou.
Yu Hanjiang turned around without hesitation, waved to his teammates, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will bring them back intact... If the operation fails, I will be buried with you."
