love of life

At four o'clock in the morning, Gu Ming, Jiang Yu, Luka, and Liang Chenxin met in a suite at the Intercontinental Hotel in City A.Since Jiang Yu, Luka and Liang Chenxin had never met, Gu Ming naturally acted as an introducer. "Let me introduce you, this..."

As soon as Gu Ming opened his mouth, Liang Chenxin interrupted, "No need, although we haven't met, I think we should know each other. I've heard that the Jiang family has changed its head, but the new head is less involved in Jianghu than his father. I have never had a chance to meet you because of things. My name is Liang Chenxin."

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "It's the second youngest of the Liang family. My father asked me to find an opportunity to make friends with you a few years ago. At that time, I was not interested in the family business and never took it to heart. Recently, I took over the job at hand. Too much to slow down, I didn't expect to meet here today, it can be regarded as fate."

After the two of them talked about each other, Luka on the side couldn't hold back for a long time. "I said you two are not finished? Today I came to discuss how to save Zexi, not to have a party. I want to ask for a social appointment."

Liang Chenxin glanced fondly at the furious Luka, spread out a map on the table, put a few photos on it, and said, "Okay, let's exchange information first. After I heard that he disappeared, I was already in City A." A thorough search was launched. Since the alley at the back gate of the school is a blind spot for surveillance, the incident was not captured, but the surveillance near the entrance of the alley captured a suspicious courier tricycle driving into the alley at exactly 1.8:24 noon, and at [-]:[-] Drive away. There is a simple cargo box on the back of the tricycle, and it is no problem to hide one or two people. Lin Zexi received a suspicious call at [-]:[-], left the school back door around [-]:[-], and appeared with this tricycle The time coincided exactly. I checked the courier company, and the vehicle was lost this morning, and the place where it was lost was near the cram school. Surveillance shows that it was done by a young man, about [-] meters tall, wearing a mask and peaked cap, passing by Luka It is basically confirmed that this person is Wang Yijie. Here is a screenshot of the video. You can take a look. The tricycle drove through the urban area to the west of the city. The last location captured by the surveillance was at the gate of the Botanical Garden in the western suburbs. The time was around [-]:[-]. After that, the tricycle never appeared within the monitoring range. Since the city roads are equipped with traffic monitoring cameras, but the cameras did not capture the whereabouts of this car, it can be judged that it left the city road near the botanical garden. I have sent someone The neighborhood was monitored, and people were sent to watch the entrances and exits nearby [-] hours a day. The photo of Wang Yijie has been sent out, and as soon as he shows up, they will come to see me immediately.”

Jiang Yu asked, "Did you check the suspicious phone number you called Lin Zexi at noon?"

Liang Chenxin said: "I checked, and it's always turned off. As long as it's turned on, it can locate it immediately."

Jiang Yu went on to say: "Well, city A is your territory, and I will leave it to you to control and find people. I have already arranged for the United States. His parents and sister are already under control. As long as he dares to act rashly, I must let him go around. I have found someone to crack the number that sent me a text message. It is from an online information platform. The IP address has been processed, and the specific location cannot be found. It will be a matter of time before he is caught. , I am afraid that he will hurt Lin Zexi on impulse."

Luka on the side couldn't help complaining: "Is this Wang Yijie stupid or crazy? His identity has been exposed, his family has been controlled, and he has been issued a wanted order by the underworld. He still wants to take the money and leave safely? Impossible, does he really not know or is he pretending not to know?"

Jiang Yu said: "It's really hard to say. He hasn't been in China for so many years, and it's normal if he doesn't know the situation. Moreover, the usury he borrowed in the United States forced him very hard. In order to control his family, I spent money to buy his house. usury debt, otherwise they wouldn't let me take over so easily."

Luka raised his eyebrows and said, "At first, I was annoyed by this man, but after hearing what you said, I feel a little sympathetic to him now."

Liang Chenxin said: "We know that he is bound to die, but he doesn't know. The most important thing now is to get in touch with the kidnapper, lest he hurt Lin Zexi on impulse, and it will be useless to kill his whole family."

Jiang Yu said to Liang Chenxin: "You first arrange someone to search in the western suburbs, and then we will find a way to contact him."

Liang Chenxin pointed to the map on the table and said: "The western suburbs are an urban-rural fringe area, with a high flow of people and complex buildings. It is very difficult to locate the search area, and there is not so much time to investigate one by one. And many of them are waiting to be demolished." The housing and factory buildings are basically abandoned, either they are not used all year round, or they are places where waste pickers and homeless people gather, so it is very difficult to check."

Jiang Yu said: "Mobilize the locals to look for it. Although it is difficult to find a large number of people, it is not easy to hide a living person."

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became serious. No matter how well prepared they were, as long as Lin Zexi was still in his hands, the danger would not be lifted.Listening to their conversation, Gu Ming suddenly felt extremely lost, and an unprecedented sense of powerlessness hit him. When Lin Zexi was in danger, he couldn't do anything.At the same time, he felt that there was always an indescribable sense of disobedience in the whole thing, as if something was wrong.

At six o'clock sharp, Gu Ming and Jiang Yu's mobile phones rang a text message notification tone at the same time.Gu Ming turned on his phone in a hurry, and saw this message: How are you getting ready for the money matter?If there is no problem, you go to the post bar in city A, apply for an account called Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf 487352, and reply to me by posting there.If I don't see a reply before eight o'clock, it will be regarded as you giving up the hostages.The text message Jiang Yu received was almost the same as Gu Ming's, but the account name was Xiong Da and Xiong Er 487352.

The two immediately applied for an account according to the instructions, and Gu Ming posted: "It's ready, but I want to see the photo or video evidence from this morning."Jiang Yu posted: Money is no problem, but a video call is required.

Ten minutes later, the two received a multimedia message at the same time, still in the airtight space, and then a short video shot by the flash, Lin Zexi curled up on a concrete pillar, in a very bad state of mind, There is a piece of today's City A daily newspaper next to it.Then I received another text message: transfer the money to the following account before ten o'clock.

Liang Chenxin asked: "How much ransom did he ask you respectively?"

Gu Ming replied: "My side is 500 million US dollars." After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Yu, who said, "My side is 1000 million US dollars."

Liang Chenxin thought for a while and said: "I don't think we can blindly obey orders and give in. We can ask Gu Ming to agree to his request, Jiang Yu raises an objection, and ask him to provide a plan and arrangement for the release of the hostages. This will not make him feel that he has nothing to gain and hurt him." Hostages will not make us fall into complete passivity."

Gu Ming transferred 500 million US dollars to the account requested by the other party, and then posted a post on the Internet.Jiang Yu, on the other hand, posted a post asking the other party to provide the plan and arrangement for his release.

Gu Ming quickly received the message: After confirming the payment, inform the hostages of their location.And Gu Ming checked it, and the transfer immediately hit the other party's account.He kept posting questions about the other party, but never received a reply.

It was past ten o'clock in the blink of an eye, and Gu Ming had already transferred the money but did not receive any response.But Jiang Yu didn't receive any information.They had lost contact with the kidnappers, and the four of them in the hotel were even more arguing.At this time, Jiang Yu's mobile phone received another message: We have lost patience, and we will give you one last chance to remit the money to the account just before twelve o'clock. If you do not receive the money by then, it will be deemed that you have given up the hostage .

Jiang Yu has already opened the mobile banking at this moment, and was about to fill out the transfer application, but was stopped by Liang Chenxin. "No, it's already past ten o'clock. Even if you want to pay money, you have to reconfirm that the hostage is fine. The kidnapper himself broke the ten o'clock money collection rule, which shows that he really cares about the money. Everyone Calm down."

Jiang Yu posted a request to reconfirm that Lin Zexi was still alive. Ten minutes later, Jiang Yu received another photo. This time, the black curtain behind the concrete pillar was opened, and the sun near noon had already climbed over the high window. Along the way, a ray of golden sunlight slanted down on the concrete floor behind the pillar.

Liang Chenxin compared the two photos before and after. From the concrete pillars, he could tell that it was an abandoned factory building or warehouse. The sky outside the window was woods and grassland, and there were no other eye-catching buildings.Liang Chenxin looked at the environment of the western suburbs against the map and said: "The western suburbs are densely packed with houses, and there is no place that fits this scene."

Gu Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "From the very beginning, I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell. I kept thinking if I was the kidnapper, where would I lock him up? I have been in Mayor A since I was a child." Big, I just went to the United States for half a year, and I was surprised by the development and changes of City A after I came back. This matter is so difficult for me as a local. How did Wang Yijie do it? As a foreigner who has been away from home for many years , Steal cars by yourself, take people away by yourself, find a suitable place to imprison, take photos, buy newspapers, and collect ransoms. If you can really do this, even if you don’t have superpowers, you must at least be an elite of the special forces, right? Don’t you Do you find it strange? Wang Yijie is not alone, judging from your analysis just now, it may not even be Wang Yijie, we have all been misled."

At this time, Liang Chenxin's phone rang, and the signal of the cell phone that called Lin Zexi had been traced. In a garbage dump in the western suburbs, his people found Wang Yijie wearing a peaked cap and a mask from a trash can. I was stunned and threw it there, and a small signal jammer was placed next to it. When I found it, the battery of the jammer was exhausted.
