The strongest soldier

"The kidnappers have thousands of requests, but I have never heard of them asking people to stay in the hotel. I suspect that we have influenced the kidnappers in some matters, or that the kidnappers are afraid of us." Luo Zheng analyzed thoughtfully, his eyes sparkling and his murderous intent restrained. Gradually, I regained my former calmness and rationality, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized that things were the same as what I had analyzed.

"The Song family's kidnapping case?" Lan Xue also calmed down from her anger, and after thinking along Luo Zheng's train of thought, she couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"It's possible." Luo Zheng suddenly felt his eyes light up. His confusion was cleared by Lan Xue's words, and he couldn't help but said: "The kidnappers wanted to attack the Song family, but they were afraid of us, so they kidnapped Lan Xing and forced us to stay in the hotel. Just stay there and don't interfere in anything, that's it, but why do the kidnappers fear us, are we old acquaintances?"

"Old acquaintance? Who could it be?" Lan Xue asked in surprise.

"There is too little information to tell." Luo Zheng fell into deep thought again. Lan Xue knew Luo Zheng's habits and did not interrupt. He controlled his anxious emotions and waited patiently. After a while, Luo Zheng continued: "Yes. One question, why three days? Could it be that the matter between the kidnappers and the Song family was settled within three days?"

"There is a possibility. If it is not convenient for us to intervene, we can ask Shi Feng to follow up, or tell Grandpa to mobilize people from the intelligence brigade to follow up." Lan Xue suggested with a stern face.

"It can be done at the same time." Luo Zheng nodded and said.

"Okay, you contact Shi Feng. I'll call grandpa right away and ask someone to check the room. I don't believe that people can be kidnapped silently without any reaction." Lan Xue agreed and went to the back room to make a phone call. .

Luo Zheng dialed Shi Feng's number and asked after being connected: "Is there any news about the Song family's kidnapping case?"

"Not yet. The superiors are not allowed to investigate, so there is no progress." Shi Feng replied awkwardly.

"Tell me immediately if you have any news." Luo Zheng felt that it would be difficult to find clues from Shi Feng, so he hung up the phone. Not long after, he saw Lan Xue coming out of the back room, and couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"

"Grandpa immediately arranged for us to stay in the hotel temporarily to ensure the safety of my little sister." Lan Xue said.

Luo Zheng agreed, and the two of them analyzed the case, but couldn't figure it out. After a while, someone knocked on the door. Lan Xue went to open the door. After checking the other party's ID, he let him in. Luo Zheng saw a group of young men and women coming. After coming in, he put down the box he had brought with him, put on white gloves, and took out various equipment from the box to check.

Luo Zheng was very interested in the inspection traces of these high-tech equipment and watched from the side. After a while, the two people put down the equipment in their hands and exchanged a few words in a low voice. The man came over and saluted Lan Xue and said : "Preliminary investigation found that there were two people on the other side, who used pipes to reach in through the cracks in the door and release smoke. The door opened automatically. The other party either had a key or used hacking methods to open it. No clues were left in the room, and no Any listening device.”

"Smoke?" Lan Xue was startled and couldn't help but look in the direction of the door. She walked over curiously. Under the guidance of the man, she saw that something had been stuffed under the door. She hadn't noticed it before, so she couldn't help but get up and look towards Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The two cleaned up, said hello and left. Lan Xue explained: "They are from the appraisal department of the intelligence brigade. Their on-site trace appraisal conclusion is credible. It seems that the opponent is stronger than we imagined. It should be Professionals, that is to say, they may be professional killers, mercenaries or agents. Agents have no reason to kidnap hostages and extort money for no reason. Killers and mercenaries are very likely."

"What you said makes sense." Luo Zheng closed the door at any time and sat on the chair to meditate. He always felt that the things that happened one after another seemed familiar, but he couldn't grasp the point. Suddenly, Luo Zheng heard Lan Xue's call. The bell rang, and I couldn't help but look over in surprise.

Lan Xue took out her cell phone and looked at it. She quickly connected. After listening for a while, she hung up and said, "There was news from the intelligence brigade that there were unusual movements in the Song family's overseas accounts, and they seemed to be mobilizing funds. It seems that the Song family has compromised. Yes, this is not common sense.”

"Why do you say that?" Luo Zheng asked in surprise.

"The kidnapper kidnapped Song Tao's wife. In the eyes of the big family, women are political marriage partners. It is impossible to harm the fundamental interests of the family for the sake of a daughter-in-law. One hundred million yuan is not a small amount of money. The Song family can handle it in a high-profile manner and put on a good show. The deputy's attitude of not giving up until the kidnappers are caught can not only give an explanation to the hostage family, but also show his strong side. He can also take advantage of the opportunity to gain some political benefits. There is no reason to compromise so quickly. He should be strong for at least a few days, and then Forced to compromise under pressure from all sides, without even a basic counterattack, the Song family must have something ulterior to tell and want to spend money to eliminate the disaster." Lan Xue analyzed.

How did Luo Zheng know about these nonsense things about the big family? He had no interest in knowing, but he was very interested in what Lan Xue mentioned later and couldn't help but ask: "The Song family spends money to eliminate disasters? It's interesting. You mean the kidnappers are looking for them?" Is the Song family in trouble because of conflicts between them?"

"It's just speculation, but this possibility cannot be ruled out." Lan Xue said, lost in thought.

Luo Zheng also pondered. What happened was too weird. The powerful Song family fought back entirely with their own abilities. They didn't even show any pretense. They directly chose to compromise and ordered the police not to intervene. Wasn't he deliberately hiding something? Thinking of this, Luo Zheng became even more curious and said, "If we intervene in the transaction between the Song family and the kidnappers, will the kidnappers break up with the Song family?"

"It's completely possible, but my little sister is in the hands of the kidnappers." Lan Xue said angrily.

"Yes, it seems that the kidnappers also thought of this, so they kidnapped Lan Xing. We are getting closer and closer to the truth, but we can only act anxiously. Our opponents are very powerful. They have calculated almost every link. I have the money of the Song family. Don’t feel bad, let’s just trade, but our opponent is too arrogant, so we must be prepared to counterattack.” Luo Zheng said angrily.

At this time, the phone in the guest room suddenly rang. Luo Zheng was startled and glanced at Lan Xue. Lan Xue shook her head and expressed ignorance. Luo Zheng took two steps forward, picked up the phone and put it to his ear. An electronic synthesizer sounded: "You If you dare to do something secretly, since no harm has been caused, I will give you a warning and stop the investigation immediately, otherwise we will wait to collect the body." He hung up the phone.

"Asshole." Luo Zheng was furious and threw the phone down. He gritted his teeth in anger and his face became serious. How did the other party know that he was investigating? Could it be that the intelligence team alerted the other party? Then the opponent's information operations capabilities are too terrifying, right?
