Half an hour later.
In the interrogation room of the Serious Crimes Division.
Han Bin met the suspect of the case, Ma Youcai.
Ma Youcai wore glasses, was thin, and looked gentle. If one met him on the street, it would be difficult to connect him with the kidnappers.
When Ma Youcai saw Han Bin and the others, he cried and choked, "Officer, I'm telling the truth. I'm just an errand boy. I'm only responsible for keeping watch. I didn't do any other bad things."
Han Bin said, "So you're on the wrong path."
"Yes, I am."
"Then do you want to reduce your sentence?"
"Yes. I have a wife and two children, and they depend on me to support them. Without me, how are they going to live in the future? "
"Then explain well. As long as you help the police rescue the hostages and arrest the rest of the suspects, I can help you fight for a chance to reduce your sentence and let you reunite with your family as soon as possible."
"Thank you, officer, thank you."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Whether or not you can fight for a chance to reduce your sentence depends on your performance."
"Yes, yes, I'll do my best. Officer, how should I address you?"
"My surname is Han. I'm in charge of the 8.29 case."
"Officer Han, I'll definitely help you with the investigation. Definitely."
Han Bin went straight to the point. "Where are the hostages hiding now?"
"I only know of the nest in Xiaoxuan Village. I've only been there. I really don't know about other places."
"Why did you kidnap Huang Yingying?"
Ma Youcai sighed. "We need money, so we wanted to find a rich person to get some."
"You've been eyeing Huang Yingying for a long time?"
"My accomplices chose the crime location. They said that the place was more hidden and suitable for the attack. As long as a luxury car passed by, they could force it to stop and then kidnap the owner for ransom. We saw a red Porsche and thought that the owner of the car must be rich, so we made our move.
It's her bad luck. "
Han Bin continued to ask, "What are the names of your two accomplices?"
"I don't know their real names. I only know that one is called Old Dao and the other is called Xiao Zhong."
"How did you contact them?"
"They're the ones who came to me. They're very careful. They won't ask for my contact details. They'll just talk face to face."
"How many times have you met? Where did you meet each time?"
"A total of seven or eight times."
"The first time we met was at the barbecue stall. I was drinking alone there, and the two of them came over to share a table, so the three of us started chatting."
"What's the name of the barbecue stall?"
"I can't remember."
"Think carefully."
Ma Youcai shook his head. "I really can't remember. It's just an ordinary barbecue stall. It doesn't even have a name."
"Where did you meet the second time?"
"The second time was near my house. I bumped into them when I got off work. I was quite surprised. They said they were passing by and asked me to go out for a drink. During that period of time, I was worried about money every day. I was quite depressed, so I went with them. I drank too much and said some things that I shouldn't have said. Sigh …
Now that I think about it, they might have decided to pull me in at that time. "
Han Bin asked, "When was the second time you met, and where did you eat?"
Ma Youcai thought for a moment and replied, "The second time I think it was on August 10th. We ate at a Sichuan restaurant called Old Yan's Sichuan Restaurant, just over Xibao Road. It was my first time there, and the food was pretty good. It was quite authentic. "
Han Bin noted it down in his notebook and continued to ask, "Where was the third time we met?"
"The den in Xiaoxuan Village. After that, we met there all the time. They told me the plan of the crime. To be honest, I was quite scared at first, and I was a little hesitant to do it with them.
But … I really had no choice. My family owed a lot of debt, and I couldn't afford it at all. I was under a lot of pressure every day, and I even thought about committing suicide. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had a second son.
Moreover, I was also afraid that they would kill me if I withdrew from the mission after knowing their plan.
So, I got on the pirate ship in a muddle. "
Han Bin said, "You only met three times, and the two accomplices already told you the crime plan. Don't you think they were too careless?"
Ma Youcai sighed, "They're all a group of people with a hard life. If they weren't forced into a corner, who would do such a dangerous thing? They really couldn't live anymore, and they didn't have that many choices. "
"From what you said, you have a certain understanding of the situation of the two accomplices. What's the reason for their crime?"
"Money, what else could it be?" Ma Youcai showed a touch of bitterness and continued, "Dagger's wife is seriously ill, and he urgently needs money to treat her illness. His children are not well off, so he can only think of a way himself.
Xiao Zhong likes to gamble, and he owes a lot of debt. Even his house was auctioned off, and his family was separated. "
"You don't know their true identity?"
"I really don't."
Han Bin said seriously, "I asked for a long time, and you didn't provide any valuable clues. Are you deliberately covering for them?"
"No, absolutely not."
"If not, you should provide some valuable clues to help the police catch the other two suspects. That way, I can fight for a chance for you to reduce your sentence."
Ma Youcai frowned and showed a troubled expression, "But I really don't know where they are."
"I find it hard to believe what you said."
"Captain Han, what I said is true. I'm just a lookout. I've thought about it clearly now. They want me to be a scapegoat, to help them get the ransom. I don't know their identity, and even if something happens, they won't be implicated.
If they are geckos, I'm the gecko's tail. In order to attract the police's attention, I can be abandoned at any time. "
Han Bin said, "From what you said, it sounds like you feel wronged."
"I'm not a bad person. If I had a choice, I would never go down this path."
"Then have you ever thought about Huang Yingying, who was kidnapped, she also has parents, she also has relatives. Is she not innocent?"
Ma Youcai covered his head and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt her. We just wanted money. No one thought things would develop to this point."
"The first time you asked for ransom, the victim's father had already paid 10 million, and it wasn't enough for the three of you?"
Ma Youcai said, "After the first ransom, I persuaded them to stop, but they thought the money was easy to come by and wanted to get another sum. I couldn't persuade them, so I could only agree."
"How much did you get from the first ransom?"
"They each asked for 4 million, and gave me 2 million."
"Who took the ransom?"
"Me."
"Where did you get it?"
"Under the Red Star Bridge on Yanbei Road."
"Where did you go after taking the ransom?"
"Old Dao was too cunning. He didn't let me return directly to Xiaoxuan Village, but let me go to the station. I returned to Xiaoxuan Village when I was sure no one was following me. "
Rao Jianguo couldn't help but ask, "What about the second ransom?"
"The second time was the same. This time, they let me go to the train station and return to Xiaoxuan Village if no one was following me. Who knew I would be caught as soon as I arrived at the train station.
Rao Jianguo's face was a little ugly. If what Ma Youcai said was true, then the Quancheng police missed the best opportunity to arrest him.
