Han Bin asked, "Other than that letter, did the suspect contact you again?"
"No."
"You've already paid a ransom of ten million in private?"
"Yes."
"What kind of business are you in? It's not easy to raise so much cash in such a short period of time."
"I'm in finance."
"Have you ever offended anyone?"
"The business world is like a battlefield. It's inevitable to have some competitors, but not to this extent. I don't think there's anyone like that. "
"You personally paid the ransom for the first time?"
"Yes."
"Where did you pay the ransom? Did you see anyone suspicious at the time? "
"It was under the Red Star Bridge on Yan Bei Road. The time of the transaction was at night. I didn't see anyone suspicious around, so I left after paying the ransom. I thought they would let my daughter go, but they didn't keep their word. "
Han Bin nodded. Just as he was about to say something, Bao Xing walked over and said softly, "Captain Han, the deputy captain of Spring City's Criminal Investigation Unit, Rao Jianguo, is here."
"Bao Xing, continue to take down Mr. Huang's statement. I'm going out for a bit." Han Bin said and left the office.
Outside the office, he saw Wang Chang talking to a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was tall and had a dark face that looked serious.
Wang Chang introduced, "Captain Rao, this is our Captain Han."
"Captain Han, this is Captain Rao from Spring City's Criminal Investigation Unit."
"Captain Han."
"Captain Rao." The two shook hands.
Han Bin made a gesture of invitation. "Captain Rao, let's talk in my office."
The three of them entered the office and sat down.
Han Bin brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Rao Jianguo. "Captain Rao, it's our first time meeting, so I don't have much to offer. Please don't mind."
"The investigation is more important. It's an honor to be able to drink Captain Han's tea." Although Rao Jianguo had a dark face, he was a good talker.
Han Bin said, "Captain Rao, you've been in charge of this case?"
"Yes, when we took over the case, the victim had already been kidnapped for a week. The victim's parents were generous. Most people wouldn't be able to sit still, so they paid the ransom according to the kidnappers' request.
However, the kidnappers had no intention of letting him go. They demanded a ransom again. This time, the amount was as high as 20 million yuan.
The second payment of the ransom was scheduled for September 12th. We caught one suspect, but we didn't find the other suspects or the kidnappers. "
Han Bin continued to ask, "Which part went wrong?"
Rao Jianguo sighed. "The arrested suspect is called Ma Youcai. I think he might not be telling the truth. There were signs of hostages being held at the location he gave, but they might have been moved before the ransom was paid.
We asked him for other clues, but he refused to say anything. "
Han Bin asked, "What about the whereabouts of the first ransom?"
Rao Jianguo shook his head. "I didn't find it. According to Ma Youcai, it's in the hands of his two accomplices. He claims that he doesn't know the true identity of his accomplices. "
"How do they know each other? How do they communicate?"
Rao Jianguo replied, "According to Ma Youcai, he never took the initiative to look for his other accomplices. It was the other accomplices who took the initiative to look for him. He didn't know how the other party found him. Before the crime, they all met at the nest in Xiaoxuan Village.
Of course, we don't really believe his words. Personally, I think he's lying about this. "
Han Bin said, "How many accomplices does Ma Youcai have? Do you have any photos or portraits of them?"
"There are no photos. We also tried to get him to do a criminal investigation sketch, but the description was a little different every time. Our colleagues in the technical department suspected that he might be lying."
"Captain Rao, why do you think Ma Youcai would cover up for his accomplices?"
"I guess there could be two reasons. The first reason is the ransom. The second reason is that Ma Youcai might have other criminal records. He was worried that his accomplices would betray him if they were caught." Rao Jianguo paused and continued, "We've been investigating his surrounding relationships, trying to find clues about other suspects and determine the whereabouts of the hostages, but there hasn't been much progress."
Han Bin said, "How many suspects are there in this case? Is Ma Youcai the mastermind or an accomplice? "
"There are a total of three suspects. Ma Youcai claims to be an accomplice. The reason why he participated in the kidnapping case was because he was short of money. Two years ago, he responded to the national policy and had a second child. His wife stayed at home to take care of the children, and he was the only one working. Not only did he have to support the family of four, but he also had to pay the mortgage.
He didn't earn enough money to spend at all. He had already taken out a lot of online loans, which was why he took the risk. "
Han Bin asked, "Where was Huang Yingying kidnapped?"
Rao Jianguo said, "Huang Yingying was kidnapped in a Porsche. The specific location of the crime is probably between Qiantong Street and Guangli Street in Baoshan Road.
The Skynet surveillance at the entrance of Qiantong Street only had Huang Yingying. The Skynet surveillance at Guangli Street had an additional person in the passenger seat. From the looks of it, it should be a man. The man was wearing a mask and a hat to cover his face.
In order to find this man's whereabouts, we collected all the surveillance around, but we didn't find any trace of him. "
Han Bin said, "Did you find the car?"
"Yes, it was consigned to the technical department of the Serious Crimes Division along with the suspect."
Han Bin stood up and said, "Let's go and check the car involved in the case. We might have a deeper understanding of the crime process."
The group of them contacted the technical department and went to the parking lot with the technical staff.
It was a large garage with more than a dozen cars parked there, all of which were involved in the case.
Among them, the red Porsche sports car was the most eye-catching and could be seen at a glance.
There was a scratch on the front right side of the Porsche sports car.
Han Bin squatted down and observed it carefully. "This scratch was caused on the day of the crime?"
Rao Jianguo said, "Yes, we carefully compared the surveillance cameras at the two intersections. The Skynet surveillance on Qiantong Street didn't find this scratch, but the Skynet surveillance on Guangli Street did.
We speculated that the suspect might have used the collision to force the Porsche sports car to stop. This speculation has also been confirmed by Ma Youcai. "
Han Bin asked, "What car did they use to hit it? How exactly did they do it? "
Rao Jianguo said, "Ma Youcai was in charge of keeping watch while the other two suspects were in charge of the kidnapping. They used the yellow car to force the Porsche to stop, then seized the opportunity when Huang Yingying got out of the car.
They had never driven such a good car before and were afraid that they wouldn't be able to operate it, so they let Huang Yingying continue driving. A suspect named Xiao Zhong got into the passenger seat and used a knife to control Huang Yingying.
After that, Ma Youcai and the other suspect named Dagger escaped separately. "
Han Bin opened the Porsche's door and looked inside the car carefully. "This Ma Youcai has really cleared himself of all charges."
Rao Jianguo sighed. "Yes, this guy is obviously evading responsibility, but we can't prove it. Only by catching the other suspects can we figure out the truth of the case."
