Swallowing the Seas

Song Ping stared straight at Bu Chonghua, and after more than ten seconds, his whole body's blood pressure rushed straight to the top of his head, and he suddenly understood what he meant, shock, bewilderment, and disbelief hit his heart heavily at the same time, making his expression blank.

"You...you...you..."

He wanted to say how you can mess around like this, that your parents might come to kill me in the middle of the night, that I shouldn't have let you two young people live together in the first place; but thousands of words came to his throat, In the end, it converged into a roar from the heart:

"...You guys can fool around all night!"

After a pause, he subconsciously felt that he had missed the point. The second sentence was:

"Go and explain to those two women yourself, don't expect me to help!"

Those two women refer to Hao Xiujuan and Song Hui.Although Mrs. Song has always been relatively open-minded, she is relatively open among aunts of the same age. The degree of shock of this kind of thing is still too unexpected.

"I should have thought of it earlier, I should have thought of it when you refused to fall in love for so many years. At that time, I thought you were just..." Song Ping stood there with his eyes blank and murmured: "What should I do now? In the future How can I explain it to your parents when I go down? After so many years, why did you hold me so hard?"

Bu Chonghua said: "I don't have any other intentions, just in case something happens in the future, please take care of Wu Yu more. If you really can't accept it, you can pretend you didn't hear it."

Song Ping immediately said: "Nonsense, there will be no such event!"

"Then take it for granted."

Song Ping is worthy of being someone who has seen all kinds of storms in the past 30 years. He forced his breath and finally calmed down: "You really didn't touch Wan Changwen's daughter and grandson?"

Bu Chonghua replied flatly: "I won't do unnecessary things."

Song Ping knew that he couldn't. With Bu Chonghua's method, he didn't need to make such a big battle. It was his style to see people alive and dead.The old bureau chief took a breath, frowned impatiently, cursed, and said, "Then this kidnapping case will be tricky."

——Bu Chonghuada was caught off guard on Saturday and brought to the Public Security Bureau for interrogation for a long time. It wasn't until this time that he finally learned the whole story of this bizarre kidnapping case from Song Ping.

Peng Wan, 31 years old, works in an equipment manufacturing company in Jinhai City. She lost her mother five years ago, got married four years ago, and had her only son Tao Ze born three years ago.Just such a young woman with an ordinary appearance and background from her husband's family has another unusual identity: she is the only living daughter of Wan Changwen.

Thirty years ago, Wan Changwen ran away in a hurry when the drug production case was discovered. Because the ship was overloaded and couldn't move, he threw his wife and children into the water and smuggled to Myanmar with a basket of gold bars.Later, he made a fortune in drug manufacturing and trafficking in the Golden Triangle, and found countless wives, but it may be that he has committed all kinds of bad things in his life, and he didn't give birth to anything, which means that the daughter he threw away back then became his only one. of blood.

Wan Changwen is very feudal and ignorant. His biggest and most terrifying nightmare is not being suddenly caught by the police one day, but not being able to face his parents without a son. Piercing the spine, no son can't close his eyes even after death.The Chinese police have thoroughly studied his psychology, so they have not given up on this aspect for so many years.Although Peng Wan has been living alone with her mother since she was a child, and has not had the slightest contact with this nominal father for 30 years, her ID number has always been on the alarm list of the public security system. , every major movement in her life is under the control of the police, and the internal files will always mark her as the daughter of a drug lord.

Under such circumstances, she was still kidnapped.

On Friday afternoon, Peng Wan left work early and went to the kindergarten to pick up the child at 05:30, but there was no news after that.The parents-in-law even made several phone calls, but it showed that the phone was turned off. At first, they thought it might be because the phone was out of battery, but there was no sign of anyone until seven or eight in the evening; While hurriedly calling around to inquire about Peng Wan's colleagues and friends, he suddenly received an anonymous phone call. The kidnapper's request was very simple——

Your wife and children are in my hands, give me the money, or tear up the ticket.

What followed were Peng Wan's terrified sobs on the other side of the phone and the hoarse cries of his three-year-old son.

Bu Chonghua's first reaction was: "The Tao family is rich?"

Song Ping said, "No, no money."

"How much does the kidnapper want?"

"That's the problem." Song Ping paused and said slowly, "The ransom amount is 44 yuan."

What the hell is this, with a steel coin?

Not to mention Bu Chonghua, many veteran policemen have never seen this kind of kidnapper in their entire lives. Rather than extorting money, it is more like a death notice to the family members of the hostages!

Bu Chonghua frowned and asked, "Can the Tao family get it?"

"It's just a coincidence that I can take it out." Song Ping almost smiled bitterly: "The Tao family is an ordinary family of workers, but Tao Zhengqing's father bought a lottery ticket two months ago and won a lottery. The neighbors, colleagues, relatives and friends all know that the bonus After deducting taxes from the amount, there is exactly 44 left."

— 44.

So what did the kidnapper think, leaving five thousand and fifty-six on purpose? !

"Tao Zhengqing's family was frightened by the kidnappers. They said it was 44 or 44. They didn't even dare to put up a five-dollar note. The mother-in-law put it in a trash can under the river canal at the front gate of the water amusement park this morning. Father-in-law Went to the back door of the amusement park and waited to pick up the hostages. My husband was alone at home waiting for the kidnappers to call. However, it was no surprise that the kidnappers missed the appointment. To the anonymous phone call, the kidnappers only left three words."

"Which three words?"

Song Ping said with a gloomy face, "—'You wait'."

"Are you waiting?" Liao Gang was stunned.

"Yes—" Yang Chengdong stood in front of the surveillance video and dragged his voice, knocking on his watch irritably: "Well, it's been three hours now, and the kidnapper hasn't called again!"

There are people coming and going in the office of the technical team of the Wuqiao Sub-bureau, those who call for monitoring, sharpening, on-site inspection, investigation and visit... Countless policemen walk around with wind.Xu Zuxin and Hou Sui, two sub-bureau chiefs, were present, and several pairs of eyes were fixed on the 4X5 screen wall in front of them. The 20 screens were showing the surveillance video of the front and rear doors of the playground at the same time.

"Then Peng Wan's in-laws called the police?" Liao Gang couldn't help asking.

"Report the fart, you dare to call the police when your wife and child are kidnapped?"

"..."

"80.00% of the kidnapping cases were reported to the police because they couldn't get the money, and the other 20.00% were because the tickets were torn up afterwards. If they could get the money, they didn't call the police." Yang Chengdong really hated the Nancheng Detachment, and he was very rude to Liao Gang , just missed the big words "Why do you have to ask about everything, you good-for-nothing" clearly on your face: "The reason why this case was brought up is because her mother-in-law didn't pick up her grandson when she heard about it, and she was on the street on the spot. I knelt down and cried bitterly, just happened to be seen by the patrolman passing by, and I made a complete interrogation on the spot. I immediately notified the command center, and the case was placed on my desk half an hour later. Well, fresh and hot, I guess the kidnappers didn't run very far at this time."

At this moment, Wu Yu's voice suddenly came from beside him: "——is that him?"

Several people turned their heads at the same time, only to see Wu Yu staring at one of the monitors, the back of half a sanitation worker appeared in the upper right corner of the screen, because only the back and legs could be seen in the blind spot of the shooting, and the head could not be seen.He bent down and took out the trash can for a moment, then he straightened up from the action, put the trash can back on, and disappeared from the corner of the screen with a single movement.

"You have a good eye. It took half an hour for a group of detectives to lock him in." Yang Chengdong said coldly, "It's a pity that this is the only video we can lock. The kidnappers were in a blind spot before and after they appeared. Not to mention his face."

Xu Zuxin stroked his chubby chin and asked thoughtfully, "The kidnapper didn't take any money?"

Yang Chengdong calmed down a little when facing Xu Bureau, and said: "That's the problem, he really didn't take it. The black garbage bag containing 44 yuan was put in this garbage bag by Peng Wan and her mother-in-law. In the bucket, but you have also seen the video, the kidnapper searched for a long time and did not take anything away, afterward the police found the money bag again, and now he is crying in the arms of his family."

Everyone looked at each other, Liao Gang pinched his roots and said suspiciously: "The kidnapper seems to just want to make sure where the money is, but he doesn't want to take it. What is it..."

What is the psychology behind this?

"Out of the perverted mentality of wanting to torture the family members of the hostages!" Yang Chengdong stomped his teacup on the table, and the tea splashed all over the place with a bang: "Look at the extortion figures, they are dead and dead, and then look at this way of doing things, while clearly wanting to On the one hand, Qian kept hinting that the hostages would be torn apart, which was obviously designed to create psychological torture for the families of the victims, and he was rushing to die!"

Except for Wu Yu, everyone present here has been involved in a kidnapping case, knowing that there is indeed such a kidnapper, they were silent for a while.

"If you don't want to make money, this kind of kidnapper is not short of money at all, just looking for revenge!" Yang Chengdong waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the conference room outside the door: "What do you think ordinary people in Tao Zhengqing's family can provoke? Do you still think that I brought that uncle named Bu just for nothing?!"

"..."

The big office was still full of voices, with impatient shouts and running footsteps one after another, but the small space in front of the surveillance video suddenly fell into an unspeakable solemnity.

"But..." Liao Gang felt absurd in his heart, and he didn't know where to start to refute. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat: "But——"

But what?Isn't Bu Chonghua that kind of person?Without experiencing the pain of the death of his parents, it is impossible to speculate whether he will have the idea of ​​revenge in his heart.Even if Bu Chonghua committed a crime, he wouldn't be so rough?If it wasn't for the fact that the victim's mother-in-law was crying on the street and happened to be spotted by the police, the family wouldn't have dared to call the police!

Yang Chengdong clasped his hands in front of his chest, squinting at what Liao Gang was going to say, but was suddenly interrupted by Wu Yu: "No, intentionally torturing people is not the way to do it."

Yang Chengdong looked impatient: "Hey, why did you..."

"If I were a kidnapper and wanted to torture a family of ordinary people who hadn't experienced anything, I would never come up and use such ruthless means to take away the hostages in the first round and leave only the words 'you wait' The meaning of these three words is too unclear. It may be to use waiting and anxiety to continue to torment the victim's family, or it may be understood as a kind of resentment and curse, which will easily cause the extremely sensitive Tao family to collapse immediately, and even do it. It was an 'irrational' decision to burn jade and rock together—in fact, the old man was found and questioned by the police only when he knelt on the street and cried bitterly." Wu Yu looked at Yang Chengdong, and tapped his index finger on the surveillance video: "In the process of mental abuse Among them, 'hope' is the most critical prop, which will be repeatedly given and taken away in each round. A seasoned abuser will assess the victim's psychological tolerance and will not let the victim Mistakenly thinking that the game is over directly, it is of no interest to the abuser to kill the net and break the net."

Yang Chengdong blinked, and just opened his mouth to argue, but was nailed back smoothly by Wu Yu: "Another important point is that in kidnapping cases for the purpose of psychological torture, the ransom is usually just a sadistic code name, and the kidnappers are generally The purpose is not to obtain money, and it will not have direct contact with currency cash. The number 44 seems to meet the conditions for becoming a sadistic code name, but the kidnappers appeared in person in the first round At the scene, they even looked through the trash can to confirm where the money was. This kind of direct physical contact with the banknotes usually implies that the other party has a desire for money, and it does not conform to the behavior characteristics of a purely sadistic kidnapper who does not want money but only life. gone."

"..." This time, he was full of "but" but was replaced by Yang Chengdong speechless: "But maybe he just wanted to confirm the amount of money? Maybe he just wanted to count it clearly..."

"Impossible." Wu Yu pointed to the video: "The kidnapper took only 25 seconds from digging out the trash can to getting up and leaving, and he had to count the trash and unpacking. Unless he is a bank teller, how can an ordinary person count this time?" More than 40 bundles of cash?"

The surrounding area was silent.

"No--no, it's still not right!" Yang Chengdong became anxious, blushing and staring at Wu Yu: "No matter what you say, it's not an absolute situation. How can you be sure that the kidnapper touched the money because he wanted it? Maybe he just wanted it. Is the thinking different from ordinary people? Maybe he has nothing to do and wants to confirm where the money is?!"

Liao Gang couldn't help it: "Old Yang, you are too forceful to say that..."

But Wu Yu raised his voice and said, "Yes, you are right. So do you still think that the kidnapper is Bu Chonghua?!"

"!!"

Yang Chengdong froze as if he had just woken up from a dream.

——Whether Bu Chonghua hires a murderer or does it himself, he only needs to check whether the Tao family has gone to the bank early in the morning, or check the Tao family's bank account through the background of the economic investigation to confirm whether the ransom is in place. Run to dig out the trash can.

In other words, Yang Chengdong's argument took Bu Chonghua out and got him involved!

"I—you..."

"The ransom amount of six four is definitely meaningful, but it is not false that the kidnapper wants money." Wu Yu returned calmly and said, "I think the point of solving the case should still fall on that lottery ticket. In a case of extortion and kidnapping for the purpose of money, the motive for seeking revenge is not significant."

Yang Chengdong's round eyes blinked for a while, and finally he couldn't convince himself anymore, he turned his head resentfully and pretended to watch the surveillance, without saying a word.

"...I think what Officer Wu said makes sense." At this moment, Wuqiao Sub-bureau chief Hou Xi finally spoke, and solemnly turned to Wu Yu and asked, "Then what do you think about this case, little officer?"

Wu Yu had never expressed his opinion on the case in front of so many strangers, and he couldn't control it just now, but now he was asked face to face by the waiting bureau, and fell silent again.

"Kidnapping a child may be a crime alone, but kidnapping an adult woman and adding a child, combined with the ransom figure, it is more likely that more than two people will commit the crime together." He looked away from the surveillance, avoiding everyone's staring eyes: " As for why the kidnapper left the money and left, I can't figure it out... I don't know much about solving crimes, so I should listen to the leader."

Yang Chengdong was pretending not to care and listened to what he had to say, almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "Hey, you—"

At this moment, the Technical Detective hurriedly opened the door and entered: "Waiting for the bureau! Deputy Yang! The video sharpening is done, and the physical evidence room has given the high-definition surveillance clips at the time of the incident!"

Hou Sui and Xu Zuxin looked at each other, and the two rushed to the evidence room. Liao Gang quickly winked at Wu Yu and followed.

Wu Yu just turned around and wanted to go, when someone pressed his shoulder suddenly, and when he turned his head, he saw Yang Chengdong staring at him, his naturally round eyes appeared bigger, as if he wanted to find fault: "—Wait, you don't know much about solving cases. ?”

"Yes."

"Then why did you refute my picky nose and eyes just now?!"

Wu Yu said, "I just..."

Wu Yu didn't seem to know how to explain it to him. The two looked at each other, and after a long silence, Yang Chengdong finally gritted his teeth and said: "You just see that I doubt Bu Chonghua, so you're upset, right?!"

The air was quiet for a long time, Wu Yu glanced at the busy people around, moved closer and whispered:

"Correct."

Yang Chengdong: "..."

Wu Yu smiled at him embarrassedly, gentle and apologetic, then turned his head and walked away to the evidence room.
