Although Xiao Nuo hung up the phone, she still quickly sent him a text message.
Ding Ning dialed Aunt Mei's number according to the contact information in the text message and rushed to the address she gave. It was a seemingly ordinary three-story building. He saw Aunt Mei in the office on the first floor.
"You are Ding Ning, right? Hello, I've heard of you. You're a pretty good young man. "
Shen Momei was a rather beautiful woman. She wore a fitted black professional suit, and the expression between her eyebrows was somewhat similar to Shen Muqing's. She didn't have the gloomy aura of the ICAC's staff, and looked rather amiable.
He didn't know if it was because of Xiao Nuo or Shen Muqing, but she was quite warm and kind to Ding Ning and left a good first impression on him.
"Director Shen, hello."
Ding Ning politely shook hands with her and said directly, "Can you tell me the specifics?"
"Yes! Xiao Wang, why don't you tell Director Ding the details? "
Speaking of business, Shen Momei's expression also became serious. She called a subordinate to talk to Ding Ning in detail.
Ding Ning looked at Shen Momei in surprise. He didn't think she would know his identity as the director of the Seventeenth Bureau. However, this was normal. Otherwise, why would she ask about this case?
Xiao Wang was a man in his thirties. Although he didn't understand where Director Shen had found such a young guy, he didn't dare to slight Ding Ning when he heard he was a director. He told the story in detail.
It turned out that this evening, Shen Momei's Action Division had followed the organization's procedures and stopped Jiang Zhongze, who was about to check out and return to Ninghai, in the Yan Jing International Hotel. They announced on the spot that Jiang Zhongze had been arrested and sent to the ICAC for investigation and questioning.
Jiang Zhongze had been very emotional at the time and kept shouting that he was innocent. The ICAC staff were used to this kind of scene and didn't pay attention to him.
Just as the ICAC's vehicle was passing the Yongding River Bridge, two cars in front of it collided. The drivers started arguing and blocked the traffic.
Just as the ICAC staff impatiently got out of the car to ask what was going on, a group of men wearing gas masks and holding guns jumped out of nowhere and attacked the ICAC's vehicle.
The ICAC dispatched a total of three vehicles. Jiang Zhong was in the second vehicle. As he was accompanied by police officers, a gunfight broke out immediately with the group of armed men.
Unexpectedly, the group of masked men came prepared. They tossed out a smoke bomb laced with knockout drugs, knocking everyone unconscious. By the time the ICAC personnel woke up, Jiang Zhongze had already disappeared without a trace.
"You're saying that Jiang Zhongze was kidnapped? He didn't run away by himself? "
Ding Ning frowned tightly and asked with a puzzled face. Since he was kidnapped, why did Xiao Nuo say that he escaped?
"He took advantage of the chaos to run away."
Little Wang looked a little ashamed as she said, "At that time, we all thought that Jiang Zhongze had been kidnapped, but after we asked the two colleagues who were in charge of guarding Jiang Zhongze, we found out that when the bandits attacked the car and attracted the attention of the colleagues, Jiang Zhongze took the opportunity to knock them out and escape."
"Jiang Zhongze knocked out your colleague and ran away? Don't tell me there are only two people guarding the car? "
Ding Ning's expression became extremely strange.
"No, other than Jiang Zhongze and our two colleagues, there were three other police officers in the car. One of them was in charge of driving the car. However, when they were attacked, the three police officers immediately rushed out of the car to fight with the bandits. Our two colleagues were distracted by the gunfight, so Jiang Zhongze managed to sneak up on them and knocked them out."
Shen Momei added an explanation from the side.
"Didn't handcuff Jiang Zhongze?"
Ding Ning asked in confusion.
"We applied double rules to Jiang Zhongze. Before he was officially convicted, he could not be handcuffed."
Little Wang said embarrassedly, "We neglected the fact that Jiang Zhongze used to be a soldier. After all, it has been thirty years since he retired. That's why we were careless and let him escape."
Ding Ning nodded thoughtfully. No wonder Xiao Nuo wanted him to help Shen Momei. Although there were objective factors involved in Jiang Zhongze's escape, the ICAC definitely had to bear some responsibility.
If Jiang Zhongze had been kidnapped by bandits, it would have been fine. After all, it was an unavoidable factor and the ICAC would not have much responsibility. However, the problem was that Jiang Zhongze had escaped on his own. The ICAC could not shirk responsibility even if they wanted to. As the person in charge of the operation, Shen Momei was even more duty-bound.
"Did you take any follow-up measures? Did you not catch a single one of those bandits? Can you roughly determine the area where Jiang Zhongze is hiding? "
Ding Ning continued to ask questions like a machine gun.
As for why Jiang Zhongze had escaped instead of meeting up with those bandits, there was no need to say anything. Jiang Zhongze himself also knew that those bandits were definitely not here to save him, but to silence him. Thus, he had to escape in order to survive.
"The impact of this incident is too bad. In order to prevent the citizens from panicking, the higher-ups were furious and ordered that all news be blocked. The police and the national security bureau have been secretly dispatched to block all the main roads out of the city and investigate. So far, there has been no good news."
Shen Momei rubbed her temples and said with a slight headache, "We can't lock onto Jiang Zhongze's hiding place either. We've checked all the surveillance cameras nearby. It's as if he disappeared into thin air and left no trace."
"Have you investigated the drivers of the two cars that rear-ended us and blocked the traffic?"
Ding Ning did not believe that the rear-ended accident and blocked the traffic was a coincidence. It must have been premeditated.
"These people did it flawlessly. When the bandits attacked us, the two drivers took advantage of the chaos to escape. After the police investigated the vehicle information, they found that the two cars were stolen with fake license plates. They couldn't find any clues. The technicians from the national security bureau also identified the traces on the cars but didn't find any useful clues. They didn't even leave a fingerprint."
Little Wang had been paying attention to the progress of the case and immediately answered.
Ding Ning furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.
Although Xiao Nuo had recommended Ding Ning, Shen Momei obviously treated him differently because of his identity as the director of the Ninghai Seventeenth Bureau. She didn't have high hopes for him. Seeing that he was silent, she thought that he was embarrassed and said with an understanding, bitter smile, "Little Ding, this is the situation. Now even the National Security Bureau can't find any clues. It can be seen that these bandits are a group of well-trained people and acted only after careful planning. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find any clues. Forget it, I appreciate your kindness. It's getting late, you should go back and rest." Ding Ning nodded.
"Director Shen, it's not that there are no clues. What you just said is a clue."
Ding Ning shook his head and said with a smile.
"The clue I said?"
Shen Momei was confused and looked at him in confusion.
"Yes, they are well-trained and acted only after careful planning. Isn't this a clue?"
Ding Ning said confidently.
Shen Momei and Little Wang looked at each other and didn't know what kind of clue this was.
Seeing that they didn't understand, Ding Ning said carefully, "They are well-trained, which means that these bandits are not ordinary people. They must be outlaws raised by a certain force or organization in Yan Jing. Isn't this a clue? If we carefully investigate from this aspect, we will definitely find out the origin of these people. You should know that such outlaws live a life of blood on the edge of a knife. It's impossible for them to be very low-key, especially in entertainment places like casinos and nightclubs where crooks and honest people mingle. These are the places that people like to go to."
"You mean? Yan Jing's underground force? "
Shen Momei's eyes lit up and she said thoughtfully.
"No way. How can an underground force be so daring? Besides, even if what Director Ding said makes sense, it's just a guess. No one can guarantee that these people are local forces in Yan Jing, right? Maybe it's done by an outside force? "
Although Little Wang felt that what Ding Ning said made sense, he was still not convinced.
But then he realized that Ding Ning was smiling without saying anything, and Director Shen was looking at him as if he was an idiot.
This made him confused. He scratched his head and said in confusion, "What? Did I say something wrong?"
"Idiot, did you forget the second clue that Little Ding just mentioned?"
Shen Momei shouted angrily.
"The second clue? Did you take action after careful planning? "
Little Wang said with a blank face, "What kind of clue is that?"
"Let me ask you, what time was it when we arrested Jiang Zhongze?"
Shen Momei asked in exasperation.
"6: 32 in the evening. I remember it clearly."
Little Wang still couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he answered with a puzzled face.
"What time was it when we received the order to rush to Yan Jing International Hotel?"
Shen Momei was a little worried about his intelligence. She didn't know how this guy got into the ICAC.
"At 5: 20, there was an emergency meeting in the office. The meeting ended at 5: 40. We left the ICAC at 5: 52 and arrived at the parking lot of Yan Jing International Hotel at 6: 27. At 6: 32, we announced the decision to arrest Jiang Zhongze in the hotel room."
Little Wang seemed to be very sensitive to time. He remembered the time well and answered fluently, which made Ding Ning look at him in a new light. He was a talent, but it was a pity that his brain was a little slow.
"Then what time was it when we were attacked?"
Shen Momei continued to ask.
"At 6: 58, we got on the Yongding River Bridge. There was a traffic jam for 13 minutes. When my colleague got impatient and got out of the car to ask, it was 7: 11 when we were attacked by the bandits. The accompanying police officers fought with them for about five minutes, and then the bandits threw a smoke bomb to knock us out. When I woke up, I looked at my watch. It was 7: 27, which means we didn't pass out for long, only a dozen minutes."
Little Wang replied with a straight face. Then, she asked with a confused look, "But what does this have to do with the second clue?"
Shen Momei was so angry that she almost vomited blood. It was because Little Wang was born with an unparalleled sensitivity to numbers that she had promoted him to be a capable person. But she didn't expect that this guy was just a number recorder. His brain didn't work at all, which made her feel very embarrassed. She scolded angrily, "I've already given you such an obvious hint, and you still don't get it?"
"Let me explain it to Brother Wang. It's like this. From the time you received the order from your superior to the time you were arrested in Jiang Zhongze, and then you were attacked, the time line was from 5: 20 to 7: 11, right?"
Ding Ning asked.
"That's right. What does that have to do with the clue? I just don't get it."
Little Wang nodded, his face full of desire for knowledge.
Ding Ning was also speechless. He chuckled and said, "I mentioned two clues earlier. The first clue was actually based on the second clue. Think about it, from the time you received the notice from your superior to the time you were attacked by the bandits, the time span was only a little more than an hour …"
"I get it!"
Little Wang suddenly understood and patted his thigh. He said excitedly, "In such a short time, they were able to attack us with such a careful plan. This shows that those bandits can only be local forces in Yan Jing, and foreign forces can't get here in time."
