Not far away, Zeng Ping and Wei Zimo were interrogating Ma Yongfeng.
"Ma Yongfeng, do you know Miao Xiujie?" asked Zeng Ping.
"Yes."
"Do you know how much money the company owes Miao Xiujie?"
"Yes."
"How much?"
"Around three million."
"Is it left or right?"
"Only my mom knows the exact number. She's the one in charge of the finances," said Ma Yongfeng.
"Did you participate in returning the money to Miao Xiujie?" asked Zeng Ping.
"No."
"Then how do you know you've cleared the debt with Miao Xiujie?"
"I heard it from my mom."
"You're the general manager of the company. You haven't returned the money yet. Do you not know?" asked Zeng Ping.
"I'm mainly in charge of the business. My mom is in charge of the finances. We're a family, so there's no need to be so clear."
"If your mom didn't return the money to Miao Xiujie, where do you think she would put it?"
"Officer Zeng, what do you mean? Could it be that Miao Xiujie doesn't want to admit it?" asked Ma Yongfeng.
Zeng Ping was speechless.
Miao Xiujie said he received the money. Shen Nianrou said he returned it. Ma Yongfeng and Ma Yongnian also said he returned it. In theory, Han Bin's evidence would be hard to establish.
…
There were two sides to the story.
Miao Xiujie saw a message on his phone and hastily left the company.
Miao Xiujie drove around the city, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Finally, he turned into Taihang Main Street.
After entering Taihang Main Street, Miao Xiujie's car sped up. The sky was already dark, so he turned into a village road.
After driving for half an hour, they arrived at a goose farm outside the village. As soon as the car got close, the white goose would start crying.
"Ga ga …"
A man came out of the goose farm and shouted, "Who's there?"
"It's me, Old Miao."
"Boss Miao, why are you here?" The man was in his forties. He was shirtless and had a gold chain around his neck.
"Let's talk inside." Miao Xiujie said.
If it was possible, he really didn't want to take the risk to come here, but someone was courting death, so he had no choice but to come.
The house was not big. There were only two rooms in total. It was not decorated and only had a few pieces of simple furniture and daily necessities.
"Boss Miao, you're here," a bald man in his thirties said.
"Where is he?" Miao Xiujie asked.
"It's in the cellar. It's well-behaved," said the man wearing the golden chain.
"I hope you didn't suffocate to death."
"How could I? I haven't received the money yet. I won't die," the man wearing the golden chain said.
Miao Xiujie sized him up and asked, "Leister, did you contact Ma Yongnian for a ransom?"
"That's right. We've already captured him. If we don't ask for a ransom, wouldn't it be a waste?" Copper laughed.
"Didn't I tell you? Now is not the time to ask for money. The police are involved in this case. Do you want to die?" Miao Xiujie questioned.
"Boss Miao, what do you suggest we do?"
"Did these two women see your faces?"
Copper thought for a moment. "I don't think so."
"If you really can't do it, let them go," Miao Xiujie suggested.
"Boss Miao, don't joke around. Although they have been blindfolded, they are not deaf. I have so many geese outside. How can they not know?" Copper asked.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"What else can we do? This is the only way." Copper made a gesture of cutting his neck.
"Sigh …"
Miao Xiujie sighed. He pondered for a moment and said, "For everyone's safety, this is the only way."
"But before I kill them, I have to get the ransom first," Copper said.
"Why are you so stubborn? The police are already investigating this case. If you go and get the ransom, won't you be walking into a trap?" Miao Xiujie said resentfully.
"Boss Miao, what do you suggest we do?"
"Didn't you say just now? Kill them and get it over with."
"You do it?" Copper said.
"I can't do it. I can't do it." Miao Xiujie waved his hands.
"I can't do it either."
"Copper, don't drop the ball at this critical moment. Before, didn't you say you dared to kill them? Why are you scared now?"
"Boss Miao, it's not that I don't dare to kill them, but I don't want to kill them. It's not worth killing them. I didn't get a penny, and I have to take the lives of two people. Why?" Copper snorted.
"No one knew it would be like this. No one wanted it to be like this." Miao Xiujie sighed. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "How about this, you get rid of the two of them, and I can give you a reward for your hard work."
"How much?"
"200,000."
"Boss Miao, you don't have to worry about this. I caught them. I will handle it myself."
"Copper, what do you mean by that?"
"You don't dare to take the ransom, but I do."
"You still want to get the ransom!"
"That's 10 million."
"Do you want to die? Is money more important or your life more important? "Miao Xiujie stared and grabbed Copper's collar.
"Boss Miao, I will sell my life to you. How much will you give me? One million? Or two million? "
"What do I want your life for?"
"You're right. I only have a cheap life. Not to mention one million, even 500,000 is not worth it." Copper pulled off the golden chain around his neck and threw it into the water tank beside him. The golden chain floated up.
"10 million. Betting my life is worth it."
Miao Xiujie pinched his head and looked at the other man. "Qiang Zi, what do you think?"
"I also want to fight. If I win, I will live a good life. If I lose, I will accept my fate," the bald man said.
Miao Xiujie looked at the two of them and felt a sense of powerlessness. The two of them were desperadoes. They wanted money more than their lives.
If the two of them really died, it would be over. If he was caught by the police, he could run away.
Miao Xiujie pondered for a long time and stretched out his palm. "500,000. Kill these two people, and I will give you 500,000."
"Boss Miao, the difference is too big."
"Only if you have the life to spend it is money. If you don't have the life to spend it, no matter how much money you have, it's just a waste."
Copper and Qiang Zi glanced at each other. If they weren't so poor that they were crazy, who would be willing to fight with the police?
"Boss Miao, when will you give us the 500,000?"
"Deal with this cleanly. Once the wind blows over, we will give you the money."
"Don't lie to me."
"I'm a businessman. I'm a trustworthy person."
"I believe you." Copper grinned.
Miao Xiujie's face twitched. He thought to himself, 'Could it be that these two bastards don't really want the ransom and are just trying to force me to pay up?'
It didn't matter if it was true or false. Facing these two desperadoes, he had no better choice.
Moreover, once Shen Nianrou died, that person would receive quite a bit of wealth. After all, the wool still came from the sheep …
Not far away from the goose farm, four people walked over with their backs bent.
"Xiaopeng, lower your head. Don't let the goose see you." Li Hui said.
"Brother Hui, I'm almost lying on the ground." Sun Xiaopeng helplessly said.
"Look, being too tall isn't a good thing either." Li Hui muttered.
"Quiet, don't talk about useless things." Han Bin quietly scolded.
"For Miao Xiujie to run to such a remote place in the middle of the night, he definitely has something important to do. Could this be the place where the hostages are kept?" Tian Li asked.
"It's possible. This place is near Taihang Main Street. If we can find the van, then we'll be sure." Han Bin said.
"It's already dark. It won't be easy to find an unfamiliar place." Sun Xiaopeng said.
Li Hui lowered his head and looked at his watch. "It's already past 8pm. Why aren't the kidnappers moving? Are we still going to get the ransom?"
"I'll report to Captain Zheng and see if the kidnappers have contacted them." Han Bin said as he slowly retreated into the distance.
The other three continued to keep an eye on the goose farm. However, geese were good at guarding homes, so they didn't dare to get too close.
After a while, Han Bin tiptoed back.
"What did Captain Zheng say?"
"The kidnappers haven't contacted their families. Captain Zheng asked us to act according to the circumstances." Han Bin said.
"What do you mean?" Sun Xiaopeng scratched his head.
"If you can confirm that the hostages are temporarily not in danger, don't make a move. Wait for Captain Zheng to bring reinforcements. If the hostages are in danger, rescue them in time." Han Bin said.
"This Miao Xiujie has made a statement. He must know that the police are investigating this case. Since he came to inform them, I think the possibility of the kidnappers going to get the ransom is very small." Li Hui analyzed.
"I agree with Li Hui. It's already past 8pm. If the kidnappers want to get the ransom, they should take action now." Tian Li said.
"If the kidnappers don't get the ransom, the hostages are useless." Han Bin looked dignified. He put himself in their shoes and said:
"If I were the kidnappers, I would definitely get rid of the hostages."
"Why don't we rescue the hostages directly?" Li Hui suggested.
"We don't know how many kidnappers there are. Wouldn't it be too dangerous to rush in directly?" Sun Xiaopeng showed a worried look.
"I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm just worried that the kidnappers have guns." Tian Li said.
When it came to guns, everyone's face was a little dignified.
"Miao Xiujie took the risk to come here. It must be something very important. It means that before he came, the hostages should not be dead. And the purpose of his coming should be to get rid of the hostages."
Han Bin said half of the sentence, but the other meaning was very obvious. When Zheng Kaixuan brought reinforcements, the hostages were likely to be dealt with.
Although the four people present were led by Han Bin.
But Han Bin was neither the captain nor the team leader. His words still lacked a certain authority. Instead of using the tiger's might to give orders, it was better to let the team members make their own decisions.
The hostages' lives were lives. The police's lives were also lives.
