At this time, it was already 4: 35 in the afternoon, and there were still more than four hours before the ransom was due.
Under the command of Zheng Kaixuan, the surveillance operation was carried out in full swing.
Ten million was not a small amount. If the money was stolen by the robbers, it would probably become the number two news in Fujima City the next day.
The number one news was naturally the National Day.
If it was on the news because of solving the case, Zheng Kaixuan would be very happy; if it was on the news because of this kind of thing, Zheng Kaixuan felt that he should lose his face.
Similar to a kidnapping case, it was extremely difficult to investigate.
The first thing was to ensure the safety of the hostages. If the surveillance was too strong and the scope was too wide, it was very likely to be discovered by the kidnappers. At that time, not only would the arrest fail, but the safety of the hostages would also be affected.
Taihang Avenue was a newly built highway, which was wide and accessible in all directions, which increased the difficulty of surveillance. Without enough manpower, it was impossible to effectively encircle the kidnappers.
As for the specific arrangement of surveillance, Zheng Kaixuan really racked his brains. Not only did he temporarily recruit the people of Team One, but he also asked the comrades of Taihang Police Station to assist in the arrest.
In the end, he decided on three sets of plans.
First, let the police ambush around the van that was paying the ransom. As soon as the robbers appeared to collect the ransom, they would immediately arrest them. At the same time, they would interrogate them about the whereabouts of the hostages.
Second, implement surveillance on several main roads of Taihang Avenue. Once the suspects appeared, they would intercept and arrest them.
Third, put a location tracker in the bag with the ransom money. If the first two plans failed, it would be an extra layer of insurance.
After the three plans were finalized, it was already past six in the evening. Zheng Kaixuan had already ordered takeout for the police participating in the arrest to eat.
After dinner, they began to implement surveillance.
"Ring ring ring …" At this time, Zheng Kaixuan's phone rang.
Zheng Kaixuan took out his phone and saw that it was Han Bin's number. He pressed the answer button. "Hey, boy, where are you?"
"Captain Zheng, we just came out of the bank."
"Why did you go to the bank?" Zheng Kaixuan was a little puzzled. He had already asked Tian Li to inform Han Bin and Xiao Luo to pay the ransom at Taihang Street at nine o 'clock.
"When I was recording Miao Xiujie's statement, I kept feeling that he was hiding something, and the debt repayment was a bit unreasonable, so I came to the bank to investigate."
"The matter of Shen Nianrou returning Miao Xiujie's debt is something that Ma Yongfeng and Ma Yongnian can prove. Didn't Tian Li tell you?" said Zheng Kaixuan.
"Yes, but I doubt the credibility of these two brothers' testimony," Han Bin said.
"Suspect what?"
"I made a statement for Ma Yongnian before, so I have a rough understanding of this fellow's situation. He is somewhat self-centered and does not care about things that he is not interested in. I asked him about the Thousand Gold Door Factory, but he said that he was not clear about it. Why does he remember this matter so clearly?" Han Bin analyzed.
"Did you get any clues from the bank?" asked Zheng Kaixuan.
"Two clues. The first is that half a month ago, three million was indeed withdrawn from the Thousand Gold Door Factory's account," said Han Bin.
"Doesn't this coincide with the matter of returning the money?" Zheng Kaixuan said.
"That's what I thought at the beginning. But when I followed Miao Xiujie's description and brought a similar suitcase to the bank, I found that it couldn't contain three million at all," continued Han Bin.
"Based on what you've said, there is indeed a problem. Now that money transfers are so convenient, if Shen Nianrou really wanted to repay the debt, why would she do such a thing? Isn't that just finding trouble for herself?" said Zheng Kaixuan.
"I feel that although Shen Nianrou withdrew three million, she might not have done it to repay Miao Xiujie's debt. The reason Miao Xiujie said that was to remove his motive for kidnapping so that the police wouldn't suspect him." Han Bin made a bold guess.
"If Miao Xiujie is the suspect, then why would the Ma brothers cover for him? Could they be accomplices?" Zheng Kaixuan was also confused.
"I suggest we be more cautious. If one of them is an accomplice, then this hostage rescue operation won't succeed," said Han Bin.
Zheng Kaixuan muttered to himself, "Leave the Ma brothers' matter to me. You continue investigating Miao Xiujie."
"Yes."
"I'll have Tian Li and Sun Xiaopeng go help you." Zheng Kaixuan hung up.
Seeing Zheng Kaixuan's unsightly expression, Zeng Ping couldn't help but ask, "Captain Zheng, what's wrong?"
Zheng Kaixuan looked around, then called Zeng Ping to the side and gave a simple explanation.
"Why don't we capture the two brothers first? If they secretly send information, then our capture operation won't succeed," suggested Zeng Ping.
Zheng Kaixuan looked at his watch, "Don't eat yet. You'll be in charge of interrogating Ma Yongfeng, I'll be in charge of interrogating Ma Yongnian, and Zhao Ying will be in charge of the scene."
"I'll go arrange it right now."
Half an hour later, in a police van.
Zhao Ming turned on his law enforcement recorder, while Zheng Kaixuan sat on the side smoking.
Ma Yongnian sat in front of him, feeling a bit uneasy, "Officer Zheng, why did you call me over?"
"Ma Yongnian, do you want to save your mother?"
"Yes, of course I do." Ma Yongnian said without hesitation.
"Then you'd better answer my questions honestly."
"Officer Zheng, what's the point of asking me questions instead of going to Taihang Street to catch the kidnappers?" Ma Yongnian was confused.
"I'll ask you again. Do you want to save your mother?"
"Yes."
"If you want to, then answer honestly. Don't talk nonsense."
"I understand. Ask away." Ma Yongnian nodded.
"Have you seen Miao Xiujie?"
"No."
"Do you know how much money Daughter Gate owes Miao Xiujie?"
"I don't know."
"You don't even know how much money you owe. How do you know that Miao Xiujie's debt has been paid off?"
"I heard it from my mother."
"What did she say? Describe it again."
"That morning, our family of three was eating together. My brother brought it up first and asked my mother if Miao Xiujie had paid off the money. My mother said yes. My brother then asked how much, and my mother said it was all paid off. "Ma Yongnian scratched his head and tried to recall.
"At that time, my mother and my brother were talking about company matters. I didn't interrupt and just listened from the side."
"Let me tell you, if what you're saying is a lie, not only will you not be able to save your mother, you'll also have to take legal responsibility," warned Zheng Kaixuan.
Ma Yongnian raised three fingers and pointed at the sky. "I swear that everything I'm saying is the truth. If there's a single lie, then I won't have a good death."
After the interrogation, Zheng Kaixuan and Zhao Ming got off the car.
Zhao Ming couldn't help but say, "Captain Zheng, if Ma Yongnian is telling the truth, then why do I feel like Ma Yongfeng and Shen Nianrou's conversation was purposely directed at him?"
Zheng Kaixuan thought for a moment. "Shen Nianrou definitely wouldn't kidnap herself. It's probably Ma Yongfeng's doing this on purpose."
"In other words, the person involved in the kidnapping is very likely Ma Yongfeng." Zhao Ming subconsciously said.
There was still one thing that Zheng Kaixuan couldn't understand. "If Shen Nianrou didn't pay off Miao Xiujie's debt, then why would she lie?"
Zhao Ming's imagination ran wild as he said, "Could this be the reason why she was kidnapped?"
