"Hello, the number you have dialed is not in the service area …"
"It can't be, right?"
Zhao Yu cursed, then hung up the phone again.
It was the sixth time he had called Miao Ying, but her phone was not in the service area. Zhao Yu calculated the time and came to the conclusion that Miao Ying was most likely on the plane at the moment.
It seemed that Miao Ying's hometown was really far away. Could it be that she had gone overseas?
Originally, Zhao Yu wanted to tell her that he missed her, but he also wanted to discuss the kidnapping case with her to see if she had any more advanced countermeasures. But, it seemed that it would be difficult to fulfill his wish.
At that moment, it was already 11: 50 at night, and Zhao Yu was still on duty in the office. Although there was no emergency operation, as the team leader, he naturally had to stay at the headquarters.
Although the hot summer had passed, and the weather had become slightly cooler, the office was still air-conditioned, in order to ease the anxiety of the police detectives and calm them down.
Zhao Yu stood in front of the whiteboard as usual. He memorized the information on the whiteboard, and tried to find new clues.
From Zhao Yu's point of view, the case in front of him was different from the big unsolved cases that he had encountered before. Or, it might be because he had never been involved in a kidnapping case before. In his mind, he was always thinking about the murder case that happened ten years ago.
Tsk tsk …
Actually, he was very clear that the most important thing now was to save Lan Shuping's daughter.
But … What should I do to get her back? Where would Feng Kuo hide her? Who was his accomplice?
Also, how did they evade the surveillance cameras and kidnap the people?
In the photo, Lan Shuping's daughter had long black hair, and she looked cute and lovely. Her child was suddenly kidnapped, and Lan Shuping's family must be in a terrible situation.
If anything were to happen to the child, then their family couldn't live on anymore …
Then, the Key Case Investigation Unit had already spread the news of Lan Shuping's confession. As Lan Shuping was a local celebrity in Qinshan, the news quickly caused a sensation. It spread like wildfire on the internet and WeChat.
The police believed that, if Feng Kuo had been paying attention to this matter, he should have already received the news.
But, Zhao Yu felt that Feng Kuo wouldn't release the hostages so quickly. He would definitely wait until Lan Shuping's crime was confirmed, and the police had cleared his name, before he would consider releasing the hostages!
In this way, it would drag on for a long time, and the longer it dragged on, the more variables there would be, and the more disadvantageous it would be for the safety of the hostages!
So, the police's current strategy was only to stabilize Feng Kuo. If they really wanted to rescue the hostages quickly, they had to start from other directions.
However, so far, the police have not been able to find this breakthrough point. The kidnapping this time was different from the kidnapping that required money and ransom. The kidnappers only sent a message to Lan Shuping, then they hid their tracks and never showed up again.
Such a kidnapping method undoubtedly brought great difficulty to the police in solving the case.
In addition, Zhao Yu also considered a deeper level. Who was the real murderer who killed Liu Jiao? Although this case was temporarily on the back burner, Zhao Yu felt that if they could really find the truth of this case, then the kidnapping case would naturally be solved!
Plus, all the signs showed that Feng Kuo might really have been framed! The reason why he took such a huge risk was that he wanted to prove his innocence.
If the real murderer wasn't Feng Kuo, then who could it be?
If Lan Shuping was the murderer, how could the police let him get away scot-free?
Hence, Zhao Yu needed to do two things: One was to rescue the hostages, and the other was to find the truth of the Apartment Murder Case.
Just as Zhao Yu was thinking about it seriously, the system in his brain had already sent a completion notification.
This time, Zhao Yu only got an eighty-two percent completion rate, but he only got a Signal Booster.
He immediately analyzed, then suddenly realized that among the "Gen Li" hexagram that he had gotten that day, only "Gen" had come true, while the "Li" hexagram, which represented friends, hadn't. Throughout the day, he hadn't met any so-called friends.
Oh …
Zhao Yu finally understood that the reason why he hadn't met any friends was mainly because he hadn't gone out that day. He had only been cooped up in the police station for a day, so he had only been commanding in the office, but hadn't gone to the crime scene to investigate.
Tsk tsk …
Zhao Yu paced back and forth in front of the whiteboard, pondering. It seemed that if he wanted to increase his miracle completion rate and solve the case, it wouldn't be enough to just stay in the office and strategize!
Tomorrow, he would have to change his train of thought, and investigate the crime scene personally.
After he made up his mind, Zhao Yu returned to his desk and started to plan for the investigation the next day. When he was done with his plan, it was already past midnight, so he got another hexagram.
In the end, there was good news. This time, he got a "Gen Dui" hexagram.
Every time there was a case, Zhao Yu looked forward to the "Gen" hexagram the most. With this hexagram, it meant that his train of thought for solving the case was correct!
Of course, when he got the hexagram, Zhao Yu quickly deciphered the side quest that the hexagram corresponded to.
With his previous experience, he was getting better at deciphering the hexagram. In merely ten minutes, he had gotten the location and time of the side quest for the next day.
In the end, when he looked for the location on the map, something interesting happened again. The location indicated for the side quest was outside the main entrance of the Rùng Branch, which was about thirty meters away from the main entrance. The time was at 7: 53 in the morning, and the height was zero.
Interesting. Zhao Yu couldn't help but shake his head. He wondered what he would encounter this time. Would he be helping an old lady cross the road again?
Then, he looked at the whiteboard and thought about the case. When he was mentally exhausted, he pulled three chairs over and took a nap.
After a quiet night, Zhao Yu went straight to his first stop of the day, outside the main entrance of the police station.
In the end, the side quest location that he was looking for was the sidewalk beside the highway.
He looked at his watch. It was already 7: 50, three minutes to go.
Zhao Yu stood there and looked around. He didn't expect to see something different with just one glance.
He saw a black sedan driving slowly from the road opposite the police station. The logo on the front of the sedan had an eye-catching "B".
Bentley?!
Zhao Yu was curious and took a closer look. He saw that the Bentley was the Mulsanne that Miao Ying had mentioned before. Its price was between six to seven million.
The photo position of the car was empty, so it should be a new car that had just been brought out.
Just as Zhao Yu was looking at it, the Bentley drove into the bicycle lane and slowly stopped in front of Zhao Yu.
Before the car door opened, Zhao Yu heard a sharp laughter coming from inside the car.
"Hehehe …"
As the car door opened, a middle-aged man with a mustache walked out of the car. The man was wearing a tailored suit and looked very fashionable.
"Hehehe …" The man opened the car door and walked out. After he got out of the car, he smiled and extended his hand to Zhao Yu. "Are you Police Officer Zhao Yu? Hello, hello! Hehe … "
"You are …" Zhao Yu tried to recall, but he didn't know the man.
"Let me introduce myself." The mustache man nodded and said, "I am the general manager of Bai Shi Li Shoes, Li Chen. You can call me Charlie!"
"Bai Shi Li Shoes?" Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows. "Why is the shoe seller looking for me?"
"Hehehe … It's like this!" The mustache man smiled and said, "I am looking for you because I have a deal to make with you!"
