"Captain Zeng, are you kidding? This kid is the one who reported the kidnapping?" Li Hui was surprised.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Zeng Ping pulled a chair for Li Gaobo to sit down and continued, "Li Gaobo is my neighbor.
"Li Gaobo is my neighbor. He came to the station this morning to report that his mother was kidnapped. Tian Li, give him a statement."
Tian Li walked over and turned on the law enforcement recorder. She asked, "Name, age, gender, nationality …"
"My name is Li Gaobo, 15 years old, male, Han nationality …"
"Li Gaobo, why did you call the police?"
"My mother was kidnapped."
"When was she kidnapped?"
"Last night."
"The specific time?"
"Around eight o 'clock last night."
"Where was she kidnapped?"
"Near the factory where she worked. My mother was working overtime yesterday. My father drove to pick her up, but there was a traffic jam on the way. My mother disappeared after we arrived. She didn't answer our calls." Li Gaobo looked sad.
"How do you know that your mother was kidnapped and not ran away from home?"
"Last night at 8: 40, the kidnappers called my father and asked for 200,000 yuan. Then we confirmed that my mother was kidnapped."
"Why didn't your father call the police?"
"My father didn't dare. When the kidnappers asked for the ransom, they said that they had monitored my father's phone. If my father called the police, they would kill the hostage. My father was worried that the kidnappers would send someone to watch him, so he asked me to come to the police station to report the case."
After all, Li Gaobo was still a child. He began to cry as he spoke, "Uncles and aunties, please save my mother."
Tian Li quickly comforted him, "Li Gaobo, be strong and tell us the whole story of the kidnapping. Only then can we file a case and save your mother."
"Okay, go ahead." Li Gaobo rubbed his eyes.
"What's your mother's name? How old is she? Where does she work? "
"My mother's name is Gao Xiaoyun. She's 46 years old. She works at Thousand Gold Door Factory. Her phone number is 1386XXXXX."
"How did the kidnappers contact your father?" Tian Li asked.
"I used my mom's phone to make the call. After the call, the phone was turned off."
"Zhao Ming, go to the forensics team and ask them to check this number," Zeng Ping said.
"Captain Zeng, this child is still underage. Why don't we ask the guardian to come to the scene for questioning before we file the case?" Zhao Ming suggested.
"Don't, don't call my dad. The kidnappers said that they have already monitored my dad's mobile phone. As long as my dad talks to the police, they will definitely hear it. At that time, my mom will be in danger." Li Gaobo said in a hurry.
"Where is your father now?"
"My dad went to raise money. He said that when he found a suitable opportunity, he would borrow someone else's phone to call you. At that time, it would prove that what I said was true," Li Gaobo said.
"Did the suspect say where he would pay the ransom?"
"Not yet."
"Has your mother been acting strangely recently?"
"I don't think so. Anyway, I didn't feel anything."
"Did your mother offend anyone recently?"
"I don't know. I usually go to school. Even if something happens at home, my parents won't tell me," Li Gaobo said helplessly.
"Ring ring ring …" At this moment, a cell phone rang.
Zeng Ping took out his phone and looked. It was an unfamiliar number. He pressed the answer button and said, "Hello."
"Officer Zeng, I'm your neighbor on the seventh floor, Li Weidong. Have you seen my son?" A man's voice came from the phone.
Zeng Ping said, "I have. He is taking a statement. He said that your wife was kidnapped."
"Yes, I am using someone else's phone to call you. The kidnappers might have monitored my phone."
"The child is still young. Some things can't be explained clearly. You better come to the police station and explain the kidnapping clearly," Zeng Ping said.
"I don't dare to go. The kidnapper said that he would send someone to follow me. If I go to the police station to take a statement, he will definitely know that I called the police," Li Weidong said worriedly.
"Then let's go to your house. We will take a statement in person and ask about some details," Zeng Ping suggested.
Li Weidong hesitated. "Be careful when you come. Don't be seen through by the kidnappers."
"We will act in plain clothes." With that, Zeng Ping hung up.
Then, Zeng Ping began to assign tasks. "Tian Li and Zhao Ming, go to the Thousand Gold Door Factory to understand the situation and check the surveillance."
"The rest of you, follow me to the Times Ark District."
…
Zeng Ping also lived in the Times Ark District and was very familiar with the situation here.
A black car stopped at the entrance of the district. Li Hui and Sun Xiaopeng got out of the car and went to the property management company to check the district's surveillance. Zeng Ping drove directly to the garage, followed by the technical team's car.
The car parked in the parking lot of Building 4. The group split into two groups and took the elevator to the 13th floor. Li Weidong lived in 1302.
"Captain Zeng, the facilities in your district are not bad," Han Bin said with a smile.
"It's not bad. My house is here. It's in this unit, 903. Come to my place when you have time," Zeng Ping invited warmly.
"Okay," Han Bin replied. However, everyone was very busy and did not have many opportunities to go.
Just like today, even if he was handling a case nearby, Zeng Ping did not have time to go home.
On the 13th floor, Zeng Ping knocked on the door of 1302. Knock, knock.
Creak … The door opened and a middle-aged man poked his head out. "Officer Zeng, you're here. Please come in."
"Don't close the door. We still have colleagues behind us," Zeng Ping said.
The man nodded and invited the two to sit on the sofa.
This man was the husband of the kidnapped person, Li Weidong. He and Zeng Ping were neighbors in the same building. When they met in the elevator, they would greet each other politely and exchange a few words, but they were not particularly familiar with each other.
"Please sit down first. I'll pour you a cup of tea," Li Weidong said.
"Don't stand on ceremony. Let's hurry up and solve the case. Saving people is more important," Zeng Ping said.
"Okay, okay." Li Weidong responded and sat on the side. "Officer Zeng, if you have anything to ask, just ask."
Creak … The door of the house opened.
Li Weidong stood up suddenly and looked in the direction of the door.
"Don't be nervous. It's our technical team. Didn't you say that the phone might be monitored by the criminals? I'll let them check it," Zeng Ping explained.
After Li Weidong handed the phone to the technical team, Han Bin began to record his statement.
In the beginning, it was still a routine question. He asked Li Gaobo what he had asked before, and at the same time, he added some new questions.
"What is the exact time when your wife was kidnapped?" Han Bin asked.
"I'm not sure. When I arrived at the gate of the Thousand Gold Door Factory, it was a little after eight," Li Weidong said.
"Why didn't you call the police at that time?"
"I didn't know she was kidnapped. She's a bit willful and has a temper. I thought she thought I was late and took a taxi home." Li Weidong sighed and continued.
"Who knew that as soon as I got home, I received a call from the kidnappers. They asked me to prepare 200,000 yuan. If I didn't pay, I wouldn't be able to see my wife again."
"It's been fifteen hours since eight o 'clock last night. You should have called the police earlier." Zeng Ping frowned. Kidnapping cases were a race against time. The longer it took, the lower the chance of the kidnapped person's survival.
"The kidnappers monitored my phone. I didn't dare to call the police, and I was afraid that I would be discovered if I called the police. So, I thought of collecting the money first. Maybe the kidnappers would let my wife go after receiving the money," Li Weidong explained.
"Then why did you call the police?"
"The kidnappers asked me to pay the ransom tomorrow, but I calculated carefully. I couldn't collect the money in such a short time, so I could only call the police."
"How much did the kidnappers ask for?"
"200,000 yuan."
"Only 200,000 yuan?" Han Bin asked to confirm.
"200,000 yuan is a lot. Ordinary people can't collect so much money. Unless I sell the house, I won't be able to get the money. But the kidnappers want the ransom tomorrow. How can I sell the house in such a short time?" Li Weidong lit a cigarette and took two deep puffs.
"Most kidnappers work in groups. Usually, there are at least two kidnappers. If we split the 200,000 yuan ransom, each person will only get 100,000 yuan. Although it's a lot, it's not proportional to the danger of the crime," Han Bin said.
"Officer, what do you mean?" Li Weidong's mind was a little confused and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Although your family's condition is not bad, it can only be said to be average. The kidnappers took such a big risk to commit the crime. Why didn't they choose a rich person? They could also ask for more money," Han Bin said.
"How would I know what the kidnappers are thinking? There are so many workers in the factory. Why is my wife so unlucky?" Li Weidong slapped his forehead hard.
The sound of "Pa Pa" was painful to hear.
Zeng Ping grabbed his arm and stopped him from hurting himself. He asked, "Weidong, have you offended anyone recently?"
