Chapter 38: The Devil is one foot taller

The special case team did not expect that the murderer was so bold and cruel. He kidnapped the child and quietly sent the child's pencil case to the door of his house at night. There were two fingernails in the pencil case, and the blood stains on it had not solidified yet. Judging from the shape, it should have been pinched down using tools such as pliers.

Xiaoxi's parents' hearts were broken, and the two of them hugged their heads and cried bitterly. Su Mei's mother couldn't bear to look at them anymore, so she turned her head to the side and said: Oh, I feel so sorry for me, Xiaoxi... How painful it is.

The murderer was cruel, calm and composed, and had a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness. Xiaoxi's family has a Labrador dog. At around 9:30 pm, the dog barked at the door a few times, but the family didn't care. The murderer should have stood outside the door, listened carefully to the movements in the room, put down the pencil case containing Xiaoxi's nails and left in a hurry.

The figure of the murderer was found through the surveillance video of the community. The man disguised as a water delivery worker, wearing a hat and gloves, and wearing a green labor protection uniform. Because it was dark, and he deliberately covered his face with a mineral water bucket on his shoulder, he did not obtain a frontal image. It can only be judged that his age is between 2,530, 1.7 meters tall, and weighs 125 kilograms.

He threatens Xiaoxi's family in this risky way and does not call the police!

Through technical positioning, the murderer called on a rural road 20 kilometers away. He still used a mobile phone number without an identity registration. He only used it once and then threw it away.

This young man carrying a mineral water bucket on his shoulder is a major suspect in the crime!

The living room of Su Mei's house was filled with policemen in plain clothes, and everyone was silent. They were indignant at the arrogance of the criminals and wanted to rush out immediately to bring the kidnappers to justice.

The little policewoman A Zi said: Give an order, what should we do?

Professor Liang said: Except for the on-duty staff, all went home to sleep.

Everyone was a little depressed and felt very cowardly, and everyone was full of anger.

Hualong said: Brothers, go back and have a good rest, tomorrow is the highlight!

The next day, the special case team did a lot of preparations. Professor Liang asked Xiaoxi's father not to panic, wait for the kidnappers to issue orders and execute without hesitation. One hundred public security officers were divided into three echelons and nine groups secretly monitored and followed, ensuring that the moment the kidnappers received the ransom, they could get both the stolen goods.

According to the kidnapper's request, at 2 pm, Xiaoxi's father parked the car at the door of Industrial and Commercial Bank of Jianshe Road.

The vehicle itself has a GPS positioning system. In order to be foolproof, Su Mei installed a pinhole camera and a micro tracking positioner in a trolley box containing 500,000 yuan in cash. The cash is new money for consecutive numbers. Even if the kidnappers successfully get the ransom, the police can track the kidnappers' escape route. If the kidnappers deposit this money in the future, it will trigger an automatic alarm.

Bao Zhan led a team of investigators to ambush in advance. At 2:00 pm, the kidnappers called.

The kidnappers issued the first order, asking Xiaoxi’s father to go into the bank, buy 500,000 yuan in cash into investment gold bars, then sit in the car and turn on the headlights of the vehicle.

Professor Liang was in charge of the command and thought to himself, "Oh no."

Cash is easy to deal with, and the kidnappers seem to have expected this, so they asked to replace the ransom with gold bars, which is more convenient to carry. Turn on the headlights and can notify the kidnappers.

Baozhen

He told all members of the investigation team: The kidnappers may be nearby, so everyone should pay attention to observe and do not expose the target.

Su Mei immediately investigated and locates the phone numbers used by the kidnappers. The phone number was 50 kilometers away, and there was a cotton purchase station there.

Hualong was in charge of the tracking team, and he asked Professor Liang whether to send a car to the cotton purchasing station.

Professor Liang said: Don’t be trapped in luring the tiger away from the mountain. If you go, that guy must have been transferred long ago.

The special case team analyzed that there were at least two kidnappers, one was responsible for observation near the bank, and the other was calling on the outside to remotely control the victim's family. As expected, Xiaoxi's father bought investment gold bars with 500,000 yuan in cash and got into the car. As soon as the headlights of the vehicle were turned on, the kidnappers called a second call and asked Xiaoxi's father to drive to the East Suburb Bridge, and to turn on the headlights along the way.

Su Mei made an accurate positioning. This time, the kidnappers called in a large orchard in the western suburbs.

Half an hour later, Xiaoxi's father drove to the bridge and got out of the car and waited. Hualong parked the disguised van at a gas station near the bridge. There was a team of fully armed police officers hidden in the car and could be dispatched to arrest him at any time.

Half an hour later, the kidnappers did not contact the victim's family, but called again.

Xiaoxi’s father said: The money has been replaced with gold bars. When will you come and get it, just me. Let’s solve this matter quickly.

The kidnapper said: I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? Don't hang up the phone. You can see the boat under the bridge. There is a garbage dump under the bridge. There is a yellow dump on the garbage dump. That's your child's. You go down now, put the gold in it, and then take the boat.

Xiaoxi's father tried to delay time and said: It's not safe to park my car here, so I'll park it in a different place first.

The kidnapper threatened: If you don’t do what I said, I will kill your child, and I don’t need money anymore. If you say more nonsense, I will kill your child. You can only be the only one. If you see a second person with you, I will kill your child.

Xiaoxi’s father said: Don’t do this, okay, I’ll listen to you.

The kidnapper said: Go down the bridge, put the gold into that place, and get on the boat, you can only bring that one, and you are not allowed to bring anything else.

Xiaoxi’s father said: I can’t row boats, where can I row?

The kidnapper said: Just follow the direction of the water flow and make it faster. Don’t worry about anything else, I will call you again.

There were several iron-shelled boats parked under the bridge, and some bamboo poles were erected in the middle of the river. Fishermen in the suburbs were fishing in the middle of the river. The boat was parked on the shore and no one was taking care of them. Xiaoxi's father found his daughter in the garbage dump under the bridge, untied the cables, jumped onto the boat and rowed forward, feeling sad. Xiaoxi's father no longer cared about property losses and whether the police could catch the kidnappers. He only prayed in his heart that God could make his daughter return safely.

Professor Liang thought to himself, it’s broken, and he’s throwing the police away!

According to the requirements of the kidnappers, Xiaoxi's father put the gold bar in it and did not bring the trolley box equipped with a pinhole camera and a micro-tracking positioner. The terrain on both sides of the river is complex and is not suitable for vehicle tracking. The police are in chaos and all plans are disrupted. Director Ye urgently contacted the Municipal Fisheries Administration Department, the Coast Guard Detachment, and the Waterway Management Department, and called a speedboat specializing in inspecting water affairs. However, Professor Liang rejected this water surface tracking plan.

The victim's family rowed along the river

Okay, if a speedboat is followed by, it is easy to alert the kidnappers and alert them. Any place where the kidnappers hide on the shore can observe the situation on the river.

What if the kidnappers ask to throw the ransom into the river and then use diving equipment to take the ransom away?

What if the kidnappers wait on the bridge in front or somewhere on the shore and instruct the victim's family to throw out the ransom?

Professor Liang's mind was running rapidly. He spread the map and immediately formulated a second plan.

The tracking team was closest to the victim's family. Hualong and two policemen changed to cycling enthusiasts and walked along the river. The other team members of the tracking team were squatting at the bridge in front. The investigation team commanded by Baozhan all scattered to both sides of the river, so that the target could always be within sight.

Professor Liang arranged a large number of police forces on both sides of the river and made adjustments at any time based on the location of the victim's family.

Su Mei has been listening to Xiaoxi's father's phone call, but an hour passed and the kidnappers did not call again. Xiaoxi's father was extremely anxious. He kept rowing and putting his phone in his chest-sticking shirt pocket, worried that he had missed the kidnapper's phone. The sun sets, and the water is shining with light. In front of him is a beautiful nature reserve, with a large area of ​​dense woods on the shore.

At this time, the phone rang.

The kidnapper said: Go aside, get ashore, and go to the woods.

Xiaoxi’s father said: OK, can you see me? Where are you?

The kidnapper said: Don't ask too much, bring it with me, do what I said.

The forest on the shore is deep and quiet, with few people coming. There is a yellow fir tree in the woods, which has died, with leaves all over the ground, the thick trunks still stand, the crown is towering, the dry branches are stretched horizontally, and some places are still covered with black fungus. This dead tree forms a sharp contrast with this green forest.

After Xiaoxi's father got ashore, he walked forward and saw this dead cedar tree at a glance.

According to the kidnapper's request, Xiaoxi's father placed the gold bars on the tree fork of the dead fir tree and left immediately.

The last thing the kidnapper said to Xiaoxi’s father was: You go home and wait. After I get the money, your child will go home tomorrow.

This forest belongs to the Pujiang Nature Reserve. The reserve area is large and is not open to tourists. Few people usually appear in this forest. Professor Liang immediately made arrangements to arrange police force to deploy control. If the scope of the control is too close to the position where the ransom is placed, it may cause the kidnappers to be alert, and then he will stop and dare not take the ransom. Therefore, the police conducted strict surveillance on the periphery, including the nearby rivers setting up intercept points to prevent the kidnappers from escaping by boat after receiving the ransom.

Professor Liang said: Any idle person close to the woods may be a kidnapper who came to withdraw money.

Bao Zhan reported: We have formed a siege of the woods, and there are people secretly monitoring each road.

Hualong said: Don't worry, as long as someone walks into the woods or comes out of the woods, we will definitely find it.

The dusk was vast and the sky was getting dark soon. Some policemen were ambushed in the bushes, and some were hiding in the trees. Everyone opened their eyes wide and kept a close control of the woods, waiting patiently for the kidnappers to appear. After a whole night passed, they did not see anyone entering the woods, nor did they see anyone coming out of the woods. The next morning, the one with gold bars disappeared.
