"What did the kidnappers say?"
"Go to Taylor Square to pay the ransom at eight o 'clock tonight. Only Cao Tianyou's mother is allowed to come. Otherwise, if someone else is present, they will never see their child again." Cao Hua looked nervous.
"They also sent a photo of Tianyou. He was tied up with a rope, his mouth was gagged, and there were blood stains on his body."
"Officer, Tianyou didn't make it up. He was really kidnapped." Cao Hua was very emotional.
"Mr. Cao, don't be so emotional," Zeng Ping comforted him, "If Cao Tianyou can fake the kidnapping scene, he can also fake the tying scene."
"You said that my son made it up just because of a footprint? If something really happened to my son, can the police bear the responsibility?" Cao Hua questioned loudly.
"Mr. Cao, let us handle the investigation. Your main task now is to contact the child's mother," Zhao Ying said.
"I believe that Tianyou must have been kidnapped. He is my only child. He is my everything. I hope the police can take my opinion seriously," Cao Hua said as he walked into the bedroom on the side.
Zeng Ping took a look at the photo on his phone. "I can't find any clues from the background of the photo. It's hard to determine the location of the hostage."
"Han Bin, are you sure that Cao Tianyou did it?" Zhao Ying confirmed.
"I'm sure."
"Could it be that someone used Cao Tianyou's thoughts of missing his mother and lured him into setting up the kidnapping scene? Then, they tricked him into leaving and carried out the real kidnapping?" Li Hui analyzed.
Zeng Ping nodded. "I can't rule out this possibility."
"How about we follow the original plan and I pay the ransom tonight?" Zhao Ying said.
"We all know that Cao Tianyou misses his mother. It's very likely that Cao Tianyou has a photo of his mother in his phone. The kidnappers are now holding Cao Tianyou's phone, so it's very likely that they've seen his mother's photo," Han Bin said.
"Han Bin is right. Taylor Square is very spacious. I can see you from far away." Zeng Ping also felt that it was inappropriate.
"Bang!" The bedroom door opened.
Cao Hua ran in. "Captain Zeng, I've contacted the child's mother."
"Where?"
"Yangcheng."
Yang Cheng was located in the southern coastal region of the motherland.
Zeng Ping frowned. "There are still two hours before the ransom is due. He definitely won't be able to make it in time."
"Can you tell the kidnappers to pay the ransom tomorrow?"
"I'm just afraid that it will provoke the kidnappers and hurt the hostages."
After a moment of silence, Han Bin suggested, "I have an idea. We can delay the ransom payment, and at the same time, determine the nature of this case."
"What is it?"
"You can send a message to the kidnappers. Tell them that Cao Tianyou's mother heard about this and hurried to Qindao City. She got into a car accident and is in the hospital."
Zhao Ying slapped her thigh. "That's a good idea. We can delay the ransom with an irresistible reason."
"Can the kidnappers be trusted?" Cao Hua was still a little worried.
"Ask the child's mother to go to the local hospital and get some blood and bandages. Tell them that she is in the hospital in Qindao City and send a photo to the kidnappers. They'll believe it," Han Bin said.
"Good idea. If Cao Tianyou is a director, he will definitely go to the hospital as soon as he hears the news," Li Hui said.
"If he doesn't go, it proves that Cao Tianyou may have been abducted and controlled by the people behind the scenes. It's a real kidnapping case." Zeng Ping analyzed.
Zhao Ying nodded. "Identifying the nature of the case is still very important for rescuing the hostages."
Cao Hua pondered for a long time and also felt that this was the safest way.
…
Past seven o 'clock in the evening.
Qindao City Hospital.
A thirteen-year-old boy ran into the hospital in a hurry.
The boy looked anxious and ran to the reception desk. "Sister nurse, I'm looking for someone."
The nurse looked at him. "Kid, who are you looking for?"
"Looking for my mother?"
"What's your mother's name?"
"Wang Shan."
"Wait a minute, I'll check." The nurse flipped through the book and said after a while, "Oh, this afternoon, there is indeed a patient named Wang Shan who had a car accident and is in the ward for a blood transfusion."
"Which ward is my mother in?"
"What's your name?"
"Cao Tianyou."
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
"Thank you, auntie."
Under the guidance of the enthusiastic nurse, Cao Tianyou was taken to a room on the second floor. Pushing open the door of the ward, Cao Tianyou rushed in.
There were a lot of people sitting in the ward, but his mother was not there.
Cao Hua ran over quickly. "Son, you're making me worried."
"Dad, where's my mother, where's my mother!" Cao Tianyou said hurriedly.
"Your mother is fine. She's out of town and can't come back in time."
"Didn't Mom have a car accident?"
"No, she's still out of town."
"You lied to me, I want to see my mother, I want my mother!" Cao Tianyou cried.
"Okay, stop shouting. This is the hospital. If you have anything to say, go back to the police station." Zhao Ying's face was very ugly.
"Are you the police?" Cao Tianyou raised his head and looked at the strangers around him.
"Cao Tianyou, I know you miss your mother, but you can't use this method," Zhao Ying said sternly with a straight face.
"You're wasting the police force. If we come to rescue you, we'll delay other cases, let the bad guys get away with it, and hurt more people."
Cao Tianyou bowed. "Uncle and Auntie, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you. I've already told my father not to call the police."
"Cao Hua, as a father, you have a lot of responsibility for this matter," Zeng Ping snorted.
"I'm sorry, I was too impatient."
"You should call the police, but you shouldn't have stopped the child from seeing his mother. I don't want this to happen again," Zeng Ping warned.
"Yes, yes, I know I'm wrong. I'll definitely change in the future."
"Let's go back to the police station to make a statement."
…
They arrived at the police station and finished the statement.
They still didn't let the Cao father and son leave.
They had been busy for a long time, but it was a blunder. Everyone was a little depressed.
A few police officers who had been involved in the case took turns to lecture the father and son.
The lecture lasted for more than two hours.
Li Hui, the blabbermouth, talked for half an hour, spitting saliva all over the Cao father and son's faces.
When the lecture was over, it was already eleven o 'clock at night.
Cao Hua and his son were scolded like elementary school students. They sat obediently and repeatedly promised that they would never make a false police report again.
Han Bin also scolded them, then found an excuse to sneak home.
"Ding dong …"
At this moment, the police badge's notification sounded.
"Officer 577533, you discovered the abnormality of the case in time, provided important clues for solving the case, and saved police resources."
"Footprints identification skill, proficiency + 2, merit points + 2."
Han Bin was in a good mood. Although the case was fake, the proficiency and merit points were real rewards.
His hard work for the day was worth it.
