Detective From the Future

Chapter 171: A voodoo talisman believed to hasten a person's death.

"This is my wife's phone, can I answer the phone?" Said Li Wei Dong.

"Yes, I have been authorized by the communication company to identify the service area of the base station network where the user is based on the global identification code of the user's mobile phone," explained Yan Li Dong from the technical team.

Zhang Ping nodded: "Go ahead."

Li Wei Dong took a deep breath and pressed the reply button: "Hello, I'm Li Wei Dong."

"Is the money ready?" A man's voice came from the phone.

"Ready, my wife, I want to talk to her," Li Wei Dong replied quickly.

"Don't worry, your wife is fine. As long as you pay the money, I will naturally let your wife go," the kidnapper said.

Zhang Ping took out a pen and paper and wrote a few words: "Be sure to confirm the kidnapped person is still alive."

Li Wei Dong saw the words on the paper and said in a firm tone: "I want to listen to my wife."

There was a burst of sound on the other end of the line, then a voice rumbled: "Say a few words, let your husband listen to your voice, don't say anything that shouldn't be said, or I'll kill you and forget the money."

Shortly after there was a call from a woman: "Husband, hurry up. Come save me, please, I don't want to die..."

The voice stopped abruptly before it finished speaking.

"Don't do anything to my wife, and I have the money ready and can give it to you anytime," Li Wei Dong shouted into the phone.

"At 5 o'clock this afternoon put the money in a black backpack, tie a blue ribbon to the bag, and put it on the bus from Qingdao to Simen County at 5:20 p.m.," the kidnapper said.

"So where do I go to find my wife?"

"You will be notified when the time comes," after the kidnapper had finished, he hung up the phone.

Zhang Ping turned his head and asked Yan Li Dong: "Did you find where he was calling from?"

"The cell phone signal is sent near Xiangyu Bus Station," Yan Li Dong said.

"There is so much traffic at the bus station that it is difficult to find suspects," Han Bin said.

"Find a way to collect the ransom first," Zhang Ping said.

"Officer Zhang, I really can't get the money, can you ask the police to collect money for me?" Said Li Wei Dong.

"How much is left?"

Li Wei Dong calculated and said: "I collected 120,000 Yuan and am still missing 80,000."

"80,000 is not a small sum. I can't decide. The state has no relevant regulations. There has been no such precedent before," Zhang Ping said.

"Emergency does not save the poor from their poverty. Now you are in an emergency situation. Borrow the money from your relatives and friends and return it to them in the future," Li Hui said.

"I, I...I'm really embarrassed," Li Wei Dong said, covering his cheeks with his hands.

"Li Wei Dong, don't you have rich friends around you?" Zhao Ming asked.

"Yes, but 80,000 Yuan is not a small amount of money, and people may not want to lend it to me," Li Wei Dong said helplessly.

"This house is yours."

"Yes."

"Give the house book to someone as a mortgage, with more interest, and then take the house book back when you have the money, that's ungood?" Zhao Ming shook his head and said as soon as he felt Li Wei Dong was a bit confused.

"This house is worth more than one million Yuan, and I am not at ease in my heart just for the sum of 80,000 Yuan." Li Wei Dong was a bit confused.

"You don't have a car? Give it to someone else."

"I bought this car for a few years, and it's not worth 80,000 Yuan now." Li Wei Dong spread his hands.

"Well, since you say so, I have no other choice." Zhao Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly. This man could not give up the worthless and did not want to mortgage the precious. This man was thinking too much. However, if it suited his character, if this man wasn't too thoughtful and decisive enough, he wouldn't wait until the next day to call the police.

Li Hui frowned and said bluntly: "I see, you still don't want to save your wife."

"I want to save her, and I really want to save her, can it work? I'll mortgage the house to the police, and when I get the money back, I'll get the house booklet from the police," suggested Li Wei Dong.

"Li Wei Dong, you can't talk nonsense. If we really do, we'll be pulverized to death by netizens. We're here to save your wife, so don't hurt us," Li Hui warned.

"No, that's not what I meant," Li Wei Dong waved his hand and seemed to want to explain.

"Li Wei Dong, our police are here to save people. The thieves have already given the address where the ransom will be paid. We must rush to issue a plan to arrest them. You must not let the police waste their energy on the ransom issue," Han Bin said.

Zhang Ping frowned and was also a little unhappy: "Li Wei Dong, if your family's conditions are really difficult, our police will find a way to help you, but your family has a house and a car, so your condition obviously does not belong to this situation."

"Okay, I got it, I'm going to mortgage the house book and borrow some money from friends."

Li Wei Dong finally made up his mind and went home to find the house book. He was so shaken up and everyone there was a bit depressed.

"It's really discouraging," Zhao Ming shrugged and expressed the thoughts of most of those present.

"Pap pap."

Zhang Ping cheered and encouraged everyone: "Remember the duty of the police, Gao Xiao Yun is still waiting for us to rescue her."

"What Captain Zhang said is that now Gao Xiao Yun can rely on us, our police," Li Hui pointed out.

"The situation at Xiangyun Bus Station is more complicated. We need to go to the scene in advance to control the situation. It is best to seek help from the local police station," Han Bin said.

Zhang Ping got up and called Zheng Kaixuan by phone. After a while, he hung up the phone and said: "Captain Zheng asked us to rush first, and he will contact the local police station."

.......

Half an hour later, Han Bin and his group arrived at Xiangyun Bus Station. There was heavy traffic near the bus station, and the station was even more crowded. It was uneasy to find the suspect. In addition, the surveillance suspect was wearing a balaclava and the light at night was ungood, so it was almost difficult to identify him.

There was also news from Tian Li's side. After investigating via Skynet monitoring, they found the van that abducted Gao Xiao Yun. The license plate number was also found, but it was a fake car.

Under Skynet's surveillance, the van drove out of town and disappeared on Taihang Street. Taihang Street is a newly constructed road. Although the road has been fundamentally repaired, monitoring has not been put into operation, so it was difficult to trace the trail of the van. The van's clues were temporarily missing, and the only way to investigate was to pay the ransom.

The bus from Qingdao City to Simen County ran every hour and twenty minutes, and a bus will leave Qingdao at 5:20 a.m.

At around 4:00 p.m., Li Wei Dong took the money to the bus station and bought a ticket in advance. Zheng Kaixuan also rushed to the bus station, along with Fang Jin Peng, the local police station sheriff, and four officers from the local police station. At an office in the station, Zheng Kaixuan gathered everyone together to discuss the specific control plan.

Time is running out, Zheng Kaixuan went straight to the point: "I just asked the station in charge, the 5:20 bus has not yet arrived at the station, so we still have enough time to check."

"Captain Zheng, how do you want us to control? Whether it's arresting the suspect on the spot, or following him along the trail and taking the opportunity to find the place where the hostage is being held," asked Fang Jin Peng.

Zheng Kaixuan did not respond directly: "Old Zhang, what do you think?"

"I think we should first find out why the suspect chose this ransom payment method and how he will get the ransom," Zhang Ping said.

"Is it possible the suspect is also on this bus, and when the bus comes to the stop or is halfway there, he will take the opportunity to run away with the money, so that we cannot find him?" Han Bin guessed.

"If he really ran away halfway, we really can't follow him," Zhao Ming said.

"If you want me to say, let's buy two more tickets and get on the bus, so we can watch the bag. If someone moves the bag, it may be a suspect, and we will arrest them directly," Li Hui suggested.

"How would the suspect think of such a simple method?" Han Bin asked rhetorically.

"So what good idea do you have?" Li Hui asked.

"It takes about an hour to drive from Qingdao to Simen County. During this period, there will be passengers getting on and off the bus continuously. There may be accidents during this hour, and the variables are too great, "analyzed Han Bin.

"The security of the suspect must also be taken into account. If we arrest the person who takes the ransom, we cannot find the place where the hostage is held in time, it may threaten the security of the hostage. And once the hostage is injured by the kidnappers, everything we have done will be in vain," Zheng Kaixuan said.

"The person who will take the ransom will definitely contact the other kidnappers after getting the ransom. If he does not contact the kidnappers within the agreed time, the other kidnappers will know something has happened, and in the next step there is a risk of injuring the kidnapped," Han Bin nodded, lit a cigarette, took a sip, and continued: "The best time to stop should be after the ransom holder has contacted the accomplice, there will be a relatively safe period of time, as long as the suspect's mouth can be closed during this time, so let's take advantage of the fact that others kidnappers are not in contact with the suspect and rescue the hostage in time."

"Although this idea is good, it is difficult to implement. Once the suspect's mouth cannot be opened in time, other kidnappers will become suspects and the hostage's life may be lost. This is dangerous," Zhang Ping said.

"Let's lengthen the queue, wait for the kidnappers to get the ransom and release the hostage safely, then arrest them," said Fang Jin Peng.

Zheng Kaixuan shook his head: "No one can guarantee the kidnappers will release her after receiving the money. Sometimes the ransom will become a way to hasten the death of the hostage."
