"Zhang Fuqing's 6-year-old daughter Zhang Hanhan disappeared from Chajing Kindergarten around two o'clock. At half past two, Zhang Fuqing received an anonymous call asking him to hand over the things Xiao Hua had hidden, otherwise Zhang Hanhan would be killed."
Ji Chengling placed a 30-centimeter-tall princess doll and a kindergarten video tape on the table and briefly described the incident.
Li Zan made a prompt decision: "Old Zeng, take people to Chajing Street. Chen Jie, contact the Transportation Bureau and ask for surveillance videos of several roads near Chajing Kindergarten. Wang, I want all the information on Mrs. Lin, the more detailed the better."
"
Wang: "Who is Mrs. Lin?"
Li Zan: "Landlord."
Wang: "Give me five minutes."
Lao Zeng picked up the people and set off. Chen Jie immediately contacted the Transportation Bureau. With his fingers flying, he quickly retrieved Mrs. Lin's personal information.
Ji Chengling, who had no orders, and Zhang Fuqing, who had no master, were left. Li Zan poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him: "Calm down."
Zhang Fuqing took the warm water and said in a very excited tone: "How the hell can I calm down?! Hanhan is only six years old, what do they want from me!!" He said incoherently: "Hanhan is timid, she must be scared.
Will she be injured? Comrade police, please find my daughter quickly. You can ask for any amount of money—"
"Mr. Zhang, calm down, please stay calm." Ji Chengling hurriedly tried to persuade Zhang Fuqing.
Li Zan sat down opposite them and said while playing the videotape: "If you can't control your excitement, get out and don't hinder the police's handling of the case."
The words were spoken in a low volume, and in contrast to Ji Chengling's patient consolation, which made Fang Fang's emotions so intense and flustered that he could hardly control himself, they seemed cold and unhuman.
But the accident had a shocking and enlightening effect.
Zhang Fuqing calmed down and stared at Li Zan.
Ji Chengling didn't understand why Li Zan deliberately said these words to stimulate a father whose daughter was kidnapped.
"Drink some water, Mr. Zhang." Li Zan stared at the computer screen, then asked methodically: "If I ask you, think carefully before answering."
After a pause, Li Zan finally looked up at Zhang Fuqing: "If you want to find your daughter as soon as possible."
Perhaps it was Li Zan's calmness and calmness from beginning to end that had the magic power to make people trust him unconditionally. Under the influence of this magic power, Zhang Fuqing gradually calmed down, drank water obediently and nodded: "Okay, I know, I will never hide it."
Li Zan: "Do you know what Xiao Hua is hiding?"
Zhang Fuqing shook his head: "I don't know at all! The kidnapper didn't give any hint. She said to hand over the things Xiao Hua had hidden...what on earth?!"
Li Zan: "Don't have any clue?" He guided: "Has she looked for you after you broke up?"
Zhang Fuqing thought for a while: "I searched several times, mainly to move her things away."
Li Zan: "Has there ever been a time when you felt it was sudden or strange?"
"No...by the way, one time she suddenly took Han Han away to a dessert shop. We had broken up for two months at that time. I didn't think much about it at the time, because Han Han liked her very much, and she used to take Han Han out to play.
.”
Two months... was exactly the time when Xiao Hua blackmailed Mrs. Lin.
Li Zan: "Did she give anything as a gift?"
Zhang Fuqing hesitated: "I've given away clothes and toys, a lot." When he saw the princess doll on the table, he subconsciously pointed at it and said, "This is also a gift from Xiao Hua."
At this time, Zhang Hanhan appeared on the surveillance video. She woke up from her nap, picked up the doll and went to the bathroom. When she passed by the bush, she ran out of the camera range and did not appear again.
Li Zan changed the video tape of the intersection and listened to Zhang Fuqing's answer. He picked up the puppet and was about to check it when he heard Wang said: "Found it."
Ji Chengling: "What did you find?"
Wang: "Lin Xiu'e, female, 46 years old, the owner of Building 7, Lane 11, Liulian. She is originally from Mong Street, Vietnam. She married to China 8 years ago. Her husband disappeared 5 years ago. After that, she rented a building and rented it out.
I bought the entire building half a year later.”
"Where did she get the money?"
"In the beginning, I borrowed money from a bank to rent a building. After half a year, I received insurance compensation from my husband to buy a house. However, the amount of insurance money was far from enough to buy a building, so there was a money problem."
Ji Chengling didn't know the latest developments yet. He only found out about it after being explained by others. He couldn't help but be surprised that the progress of the case was a little faster.
Wang Dangdang: "One more thing, Lin Xiu'e has been subjected to domestic violence for a long time."
Ji Chengling: "Then her husband is probably not missing."
Zhang Fuqing asked dissatisfiedly: "My daughter is in the most danger now. Can't the discussion of other cases be postponed?"
Ji Chengling: "It's not another case, but the same case. Lin Xiu'e is probably the biggest suspect in kidnapping your daughter and killing Xiao Hua."
He looked at Li Zan, and somehow he was suddenly at a loss when the case was about to break through the bottleneck, and he subconsciously sought Li Zan's instructions.
It seems that Li Zan is the backbone of this case - no, it should be said that he is the backbone of the entire criminal investigation.
“Mong Cai, Vietnam?”
Unexpectedly, Li Zan paid attention to his place of origin that no one had noticed.
Ji Chengling: "What's the problem?"
Everyone looked at Li Zan.
Li Zan checked that there was a zipper on the back of the doll. When he opened it, he found black threads sewn inside, which looked crooked and unsightly.
"Mong Cai in Vietnam is a border area, separated from Guangxi by the Beilun River. It has many docks and an excellent geographical location. Smuggling is rampant and difficult to crack down on. That place is the largest smuggling den between China and Vietnam."
"Is Lin Xiu'e also involved in the economic case of smuggling between China and Vietnam?" Ji Chengling couldn't believe it, and then quickly denied this ridiculous speculation: "Absolutely impossible."
What a coincidence.
A seemingly unrelated case of corpse mutilation was actually involved in a border smuggling case. Even TV dramas would not dare to exaggerate this.
That's not necessarily the case. Wang thought to himself, the person in front of him was an unexpected disaster that everyone in the city bureau was afraid of before, and every time he solved the case, it would shake the world.
Li Zan took out a spring knife from the pen holder and cut the black line on the back of the puppet.
Zhang Fuqing wanted to stop him when he saw this: "This is Han Han's favorite puppet -"
The words stopped abruptly when Li Zan pulled out a palm-sized red notebook hidden inside the doll. He did not recognize the notebook. In the blink of an eye, a circle of policemen surrounded him, and even Wang, who was not interested at first, craned his neck to look over.
.
Li Zan opened the notebook and saw dense Arabic numerals from beginning to end. Apart from that, there was not a single Chinese character or Vietnamese character.
"Is this what Xiao Hua has hidden?", "Are they all numbers?", "Could it be a numeric password? I'll download a numeric password table to compare.", "There must be tens of thousands of numbers...one for each person.
After solving a few pages, and working overtime, I should be able to figure out what the content is soon."
...Everyone put forward various speculations and suggestions.
Ji Chengling: "What secrets are hidden in these numbers that are worthy of Lin Xiu'e's murder and dismemberment?"
The more secret something is, the less visible it is.
The notebook on the table is not only secret, it also carries a life.
The blood-colored book cover seemed to split instantly into photos showing hideous corpses. The blood slowly snaked from the photos, soaking in the book cover and raising densely packed fatal figures.
Li Zan flipped through the notebook, his speed getting faster and faster, until he almost scanned the second half of the notebook at a glance, and then flipped back to the front to check a long series of numbers.
The numbers in the second half are quite familiar, almost overlapping with the number of ledgers recorded on the small CD. However, the numbers in the front are unclear and do not look like ledgers.
Wang: "Team Li, do you know what these numbers mean?"
Li Zan kept snapping his fingers: "I don't know."
After Chen Jie negotiated with the Transportation Bureau, the other party was retrieving the surveillance video and needed some time to wait. When she was bored, she came back and saw her colleagues gathered in a circle. She thought there was excitement and quickly squeezed in.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Jie asked as she squeezed in, and happened to see a red notebook spread out on the table. The pages were full of dense numbers. "Holy crap - you guys went to fight against pornography?"
Anti-pornography?
Li Zan stopped, raised his eyelids and asked Chen Jie: "Can you understand these numbers?"
"Probably." Chen Jie looked at it again, nodded and said firmly: "It's the ID number, date and coordinates, but it's messed up."
"ID card?" Li Zan glanced at the numbers, but it was difficult to make out the numbers when they were crowded together, especially when they were scrambled. "How can I tell?"
Chen Jie pointed to one of the rows of numbers and said: "The numbers starting from 33 to the 6th digit here are disconnected, insert the date and time, then the number in the middle of the ID card, then the coordinates, and finally the last number of the ID card. Both pages are
Yes, some numbers are repeated."
Li Zan: "Does your anti-pornography office keep records like this?"
"Of course not." Chen Jie said: "This is a special way for pimps to record the girls and clients in their hands. They use scrambled numbers to record hidden information. And it is updated frequently. If it weren't for the experienced anti-pornography team, there would be no way to record the hidden information.
can not tell."
After a pause for a few seconds, Chen Jie added: "But many illegal transactions are recorded by scrambling numbers."
Li Zan: "So as long as you rearrange the numbers, you can know who has done something illegal at a certain time and place."
Ji Chengling asked: "But we don't know what illegal things they did."
Li Zan stood up and stretched: "I know." He picked up the red leather notebook and weighed it: "This is a real accident, I didn't want to get involved."
What is this in his hand?
This is a criminal blacklist that records transnational smuggling groups! A stamp album that covers most of the underground smuggling members in Guangdong City!!
The key is that the owner of the notebook happens to be the biggest suspect in the corpse dismemberment case that their branch is responsible for, so there are so many clues to entangle him that there is a legitimate reason to get involved without attracting enough firepower.
Li Zan said that he could not have guessed this development, as everything happened suddenly.
An accidental disaster, and his old mother's return.
After receiving the news and convening an emergency meeting, the relevant municipal bureau superiors all cordially greeted someone from the Criminal Investigation Department of Dongcheng District Branch.
