"Text her and say you can borrow money. As long as she answers your call, transfer the money to her," Han Bin said.
"Okay," He Ru answered. She was a little nervous and her palms were already sweating.
She took a deep breath and waited for the bottleneck to ease before she began to type a text.
This time, there was a reply soon.
He Ru read, "I'm with your sister. She's safe. You don't have to worry."
After reading it, He Ru was a little flustered. "Officer Han, my sister isn't really kidnapped, is she?"
"Buzz …"
Another text came. It was He Yan's ID photo and a paragraph of text. "Prepare thirty thousand yuan. Transfer it to this bank card and your sister will go home."
"Officer Han, what do we do now?" He Ru asked anxiously.
"Tell him that the money is not a problem, but he has to talk to your sister." Han Bin wanted to confirm whether He Yan was safe or not.
He Ru sent another text.
"Ring …" He Ru's phone rang. She looked down. "It's my sister."
"Answer it."
He Ru pressed the answer button. "Hello."
"Your sister is in my hands. Prepare thirty thousand yuan immediately, or you can wait to collect her body." A man's voice came from the phone.
"Who are you? Let my sister answer the phone."
"It's not convenient for your sister to answer the phone. Release her when the money is ready. Don't play tricks." The man hung up after saying that.
"Officer Han, will my sister be okay?" He Ru grabbed Han Bin's arm, a little helpless.
"You think of a way to raise the money first. The police will take care of the rest."
"But … but I can't take out that much money at once." He Ru was in a difficult position.
"Buzz …"
A text message rang.
He Ru checked the message. It was a bank account number.
"Call your sister's number again," Han Bin ordered.
"Okay." He Ru immediately called back.
"Sorry, the user you dialed is powered off."
"Turned off again," He Ru said helplessly.
"Contact your brother-in-law and your sister's mother-in-law. Let them think of a way to raise the money together," Han Bin said and arranged for He Ru to get into the off-road vehicle while he and Li Hui stayed outside.
"Brother Bin, what should we do now?"
"Let's sort out our thoughts first and think about how to report to Captain Zheng and Captain Zeng."
"You're right. I'm a little confused now." Li Hui scratched his head. "I have a feeling that this case isn't an ordinary kidnapping case."
"He Yan's phone and ID are in the hands of the man on the phone. This means that He Yan might have been kidnapped," Han Bin analyzed.
"In a normal kidnapping case, as soon as the kidnappers catch the person, they will immediately ask for the ransom. However, this kidnapper asked for the ransom one day after the kidnapping. Don't you think it's strange?" Li Hui was a little puzzled.
"This kidnapper is very unprofessional. At first, he only asked for six thousand, but then he asked for thirty thousand. Either he's inexperienced, or it's a spur of the moment decision." Han Bin took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Li Hui, and lit one for himself.
"Taking such a big risk for only thirty thousand? It's too little." Li Hui took a puff.
"Moreover, the kidnapper actually sent us his bank account number. Does he really want money and not his life?" Han Bin flicked the cigarette ash.
"Are you going to report to Captain Zeng, or should I?" Li Hui asked.
"You tell me. I'll think about it."
…
An hour later.
There was an RV near He Yan's house.
Han Bin and Li Hui parked the off-road vehicle behind the RV.
Then, the door of the RV opened and the two got in.
Once inside, they realized that it was different from an ordinary RV. It was a command vehicle.
It had all the police equipment.
He Yan's house was a two-story building with a single door. If too many people went in, it would be easy for outsiders to notice.
Once the kidnappers found something unusual and knew that they had called the police, He Yan might be in danger.
There were six people in the RV. They were Zheng Kaixuan, Zeng Ping, Han Bin, Li Hui, Tian Li, and Zhao Ming.
Zheng Kaixuan took a sip of tea and pointed at Han Bin and Li Hui. "You two, tell me the details."
"Let me."
Li Hui described the details of the case in detail.
After listening, Zheng Kaixuan pondered for a moment. "This case doesn't feel like a simple kidnapping case."
"Captain Zheng, Li Hui and I think so too." Han Bin agreed.
"This case has several directions to investigate. I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower," Zeng Ping said.
"Team One also has a case, so we can only ask the local police to help." Zheng Kaixuan handed the teacup to Zhao Ming, who was beside the kettle.
"Pour some water."
"Captain Zheng, it's been an hour since the kidnappers last called. I suggest we determine the direction of the investigation as soon as possible." Han Bin suggested.
"Do you have any clue why He Yan went out?" Zheng Kaixuan turned and looked at Han Bin.
"He Yan's mother-in-law has been brushing us off. Her husband's phone is off, so we can't contact him."
"There's no time to lose. I'll arrange the task first." Zheng Kaixuan pointed at Zeng Ping and ordered.
"Old Zeng, go to the bank and check the identity of the account owner."
"Zhao Ming, check the surrounding surveillance cameras. See what kind of transportation He Yan took and what her destination was."
"Tian Li, go to the telecommunications company and chat software company to check who He Yan has been in contact with recently."
"Han Bin, Li Hui, you're responsible for finding Chen Zili. His current whereabouts are unknown. We can't rule out the possibility that he has something to do with He Yan's kidnapping. You can ask the local police for help."
"I'll be in charge of contacting the forensics team. Once the location of the suspect's text message is confirmed, I'll inform everyone to arrest him."
"Yes." Everyone answered.
"Does anyone have anything to add?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
Li Hui hesitated for a moment. "The kidnappers have been in contact with He Ru. If there's any new movement, they'll probably contact her. Should we call her to command the car?"
"Yes. Bring her here. If there's any news from the kidnappers, I'll be able to respond immediately."
"Yes."
…
After arranging the tasks, everyone went their separate ways.
Han Bin and Li Hui got out of the limousine and returned to the off-road vehicle. They called He Ru and asked her to come out of the house.
They also told her to be careful of being followed.
Not long after, He Ru walked over, looking a little nervous.
After getting into the car, she hurriedly asked, "Officer Han, Officer Li, have you found the person who kidnapped my sister?"
"Not yet. We need more clues," Han Bin said.
"What should we do? I've told you everything I need to say." He Ru sighed.
"Have you contacted your brother-in-law?"
"No, his phone is still turned off."
Han Bin took out his phone and added He Ru's WeChat ID. "Send me Chen Zili's phone number and photo."
"You're going to find my brother-in-law?"
Han Bin nodded.
"What about my sister?"
"Other colleagues will take care of it," Han Bin answered and changed the topic. "Have you collected the money?"
He Ru showed a hint of bitterness. "My brother-in-law isn't at home, and my sister's mother-in-law can't help. I can only find about 10,000 yuan."
Hearing this, Han Bin felt that there was something wrong with this case. This family was not rich. Why did the kidnappers choose He Yan?
