The captain had never seen such a victim’s parents.
Generally speaking, when a child was kidnapped, the parent’s reaction would be nothing more than to break down and cry, or in more serious cases, faint, but these two were free enough to still want to eat hot pot. Because the kidnapper’s blackmail call didn’t let them eat hotpot, they even seemed a little angry.
Was this kidnapped person really their son?
The captain’s heart was full of doubts, but since it was a family matter, he couldn’t ask more questions. He could only suggest: “You can prepare five million in cash first.”
Five million was not a small amount, and banks may not have such a large cash reserve, so they would need to make an appointment in advance.
Shen Dongqing: “Well… forget it.”
Captain: “Forget it?”
Shen Dongqing: “It’s too troublesome, let’s go directly.”
The captain tried to explain to Shen Dongqing the seriousness of the matter: “This is the kidnapper’s request. If they are not satisfied, they might do something drastic to the hostage.”
Shen Dongqing thought thoughtfully.
The captain thought he had figured it out, but Shen Dongqing suddenly said: “I’m still worried about the hostage doing something drastic to the kidnappers.”
Captain: …
In the end, the police captain decided to respect their choice and did not force them to prepare the five million in cash, instead he drove directly to the location mentioned by the kidnappers.
In the car, the captain asked them to be mentally prepared: “Most kidnappers are well prepared and will keep changing locations to break the defenses of the victims’ parents, so it is very likely that we will not see the kidnappers this time.”
He just said this, when the person driving in front said: “Captain, we’re here.”
The camouflaged car stopped.
This was an unfinished villa, with thick fallen leaves piled at the door, making it look very desolate.
The captain glanced inside through the window and said to Shen Dongqing: “You go in first and tell us directly through the radio if there is any situation.”
Zhou Wenyan said: “I will go with him.”
The captain’s eyes wandered between the two people: “The kidnapper asked him to come alone. If the kidnapper’s request is not met, maybe…”
Shen Dongqing waved his hand: “It’s okay, anyway, we don’t even have five million. If we are not prepared, this is the best choice.”
He said it as if there was no problem, and by the time the captain reacted, the two of them had already gotten out of the car and walked into the villa area.
The man with droopy eyes, the man with the scar and the driver were three professional kidnappers. They once kidnapped the children of wealthy businessmen and escaped unscathed after taking the money.
For this kidnapping, they followed the same procedure as the last time and easily kidnapped the child. They also prepared a series of means to play tricks on the police and the victim’s family.
But now, no matter what means they had, they couldn’t use them, and they couldn’t even protect themselves.
The remote unfinished building that they originally used to hide had become a prison that trapped them. Countless ghosts crawled out of the ground and ran rampant in the shadows.
The female ghost with a long tongue, the spider-man running wildly on all fours, the little ghost with only half of his face…
His legs and feet had gone weak, and he finally ran downstairs and shook off the grinning giant, rolling and crawling. Then he walked to the door, pulled the door handle hard and pushed it open.
Bang – the iron door made a loud noise after being hit, but it didn’t move at all.
“Please, please open the door!”
The man with droopy eyes leaned against the door in despair. He heard the heavy footsteps behind him getting closer and closer, but he did not dare to look back.
There was nowhere to run.
The whole building was full of ghosts, the doors and windows were closed, and there was no place to go out. The screams of his companions were heard from upstairs, and every sound hit his heart.
“Please…”
The man with droopy eyes knocked on the door again, and a seven-foot strong man was frightened to tears.
“Hee hee -“
A sharp laugh sounded from behind the man with droopy eyes’ shoulder.
The man with droopy eyes’ body softened, and he could almost smell a fishy smell as it came closer. Then a pair of cold hands came up and gently pinched his neck, leaving him unable to resist at all.
At this moment, the door that had been unable to be opened fell down with a bang, splashing dust all over the sky, and then the sun shone in.
The tall man looked over numbly, and saw two figures standing at the door, one behind the other.
“Is this right here?” Shen Dongqing asked, while covering his mouth and nose.
Zhou Wenyan: “Yeah.”
The man with droopy eyes’ legs had gone so weak that he was kneeling on the ground. He was so frightened that he didn’t even notice that the hand squeezing his neck had disappeared.
Shen Dongqing squatted down: “Are you a kidnapper?”
The man with droopy eyes cried bitterly: “Are you a policeman? Hurry up, catch me quickly, I want to go to jail, I confess!”
Shen Dongqing scratched his hair: “Seems to be scared. Are you scared to death?” He glanced at the female ghost huddled in the corner.
The man with droopy eyes: “I’m going to jail. I don’t want to stay here anymore. Please, please!!!”
Shen Dongqing was a kind-hearted person. Of course, he complied with the man with droopy eyes’ request and immediately called the police.
The police thought it would take a while to rescue the victims, but as soon as the team came over, the kidnapper saw the police badges and uniforms and treated them as if they were family members, crying and asking to go to jail, and saying that he did not want to stay for another minute.
It was the first time the police encountered such a cooperative kidnapper. He didn’t even resist. He almost couldn’t wait to put on the handcuffs with his own hands. Moreover, the kidnappers looked very embarrassed, their clothes were covered in dust, and some of them were injured. The most serious one had a brain problem, and he was mumbling “there is a ghost” in his nervous mouth.
The captain guessed: “Could it be internal strife?” After all, five million was not a small amount of money.
What made the police even more surprised was that compared to the embarrassed kidnappers, the kidnapped child was completely clean, sitting there doing homework, and looking extremely well-behaved.
A female police officer went to comfort him: “Kid, are you okay?”
The little kid put away his homework with an innocent smile on his fair face: “I’m fine. How are those uncles?”
The policewoman hesitated and said, “Those are all bad guys and have been arrested by us now.”
The little kid blinked and said with some regret: “They said they wanted to play with me, but I haven’t even had enough.”
The policewoman felt even more pity: “They are bad people and they all lied to you.”
The little kid was disappointed: “Oh…”
The policewoman felt he was so cute that she was about to reach out to hug the little kid when a loud noise suddenly came from not far away.
“I was kidnapped too!”
“I was with him. His father and I are cousins. I’m not a kidnapper.”
“If you don’t believe me, ask Shen Zhouzhou. I passed by Yuying Primary School to pick him up.”
Shen Luqiu’s hands were handcuffed behind his back, and he looked so embarrassed that it was hard to tell that he was a star. He kept justifying to the police, and it really sounded like this.
The captain hesitated for a moment. After all, when he found Shen Luqiu, he had already fainted on the ground. It was unclear whether he was a kidnapper or a victim. Since he was a celebrity, the captain decided to come over and ask Shen Zhouzhou.
Shen Luqiu came to the little kid and struggled to squeeze out a smile: “Zhouzhou, tell these uncles that I came to pick you up from school and were taken away by kidnappers together.”
When he saw the police, he realized that the plan had failed. He was a star and could not get involved in a criminal case, let alone be the mastermind of the kidnapping case. So, he turned his head and decided to come up with an excuse. This excuse was not bad. After all, Shen Zhouzhou was just a primary school student and had some brain problems. Maybe he could get through it.
The little kid looked up at him, pursed his lips and smiled: “That’s right.”
Shen Luqiu breathed a sigh of relief: “You see, he said so, I am also a victim, why don’t you let me go quickly.”
