The gate was a silver electronic retractable door. At this time, it was more than half closed, only revealing a small opening. The walls on the left and right were all made of red bricks. They were not high and basically had no security function. However, the police station did not need to set up a high level of security, because in the whole world, there were not many thieves who would think of attacking the police station.
There was only a small two-story building in the courtyard behind the gate. Looking at the front and back of the building, it was more beautiful than a villa. There were two police cars parked in front of the building. They were both ordinary cars. One of them was a Buick, but the model was older.
Mary got out of the car and walked quickly to the door. Yang Qingqing did not hesitate to follow her. She wanted to accompany Mary to call the police, showing her enthusiasm. In European and American countries, the Chinese did very well in terms of friendship and help each other.
The two women walked into the building and came to the hall. Someone seemed to have seen their arrival. A young policeman wearing a dark blue police uniform and a police cap walked out from the side door. He shouted at them and asked why they were there.
When Mary saw him, she almost burst into tears on the spot. She quickly walked up to him and started to tell him everything at an extremely fast speed. The white policeman did not listen, but when he heard it, his face changed. He glanced at Mary's face and waved his hand to ask the two women to sit in the next room and talk in detail.
After Mary finished talking, the policeman asked her some basic identity information, such as her name, occupation, address, and so on. Mary told him the truth.
The policeman asked Yang Qingqing a few more questions and asked her about Mary's situation. Yang Qingqing told him about how she rescued Mary from the river.
The policeman nodded and stood up. He asked the two women to wait for a while and walked out of the room. After a while, he walked in with a middle-aged black policeman with a big belly.
The black policeman seemed to be the leader here. He quickly asked Mary three very important questions. First, when was she kidnapped? Second, did she know where she was imprisoned? Third, how did she escape?
For the first question, Mary could not remember clearly. She answered that it was about ten days. For the second question, she did not know at all. She could only say that the place where she was imprisoned was not far from the suburbs of Philadelphia. Only the third question could be clearly answered.
After the black policeman finished asking, he asked her to wait for two minutes while he called the task force in charge of the case to inform them of the latest change. In fact, after the task force was set up, the first thing they did was to inform the Philadelphia Police Station and the surrounding city and county police stations about the case. They asked for help from these local police forces to investigate the case. This was also the usual method that the police used to deal with major cases.
The police system in the United States was very different from that in China. Because the United States was a federal system, the police system was basically autonomous by each state. The police systems of different states were not under each other, and cases that crossed state boundaries required the state police or the FBI to handle. In addition, the city police in charge of city security (hired and paid by the Municipal Government) had no control over the county police in charge of county security (elected and paid by the local residents). Therefore, the FBI, as the main force of the task force, had to politely ask for help when dealing with the local police in Pennsylvania.
The black policeman came back soon after the call and told Mary that the task force would send someone to pick her up and take her back to Philadelphia. He asked her to stay in the police station and not go anywhere. The young white policeman also brought coffee for the two women in a friendly manner.
The task force was very efficient. In just a little over a quarter of an hour, a white police helicopter had landed on the road outside the police station. Then, a man and a woman from the task force appeared in front of Mary.
It had to be said that the task force was very thoughtful. They were worried about language communication problems, so they specially sent a Chinese police detective to pick Mary up. Although she grew up in the United States, she was also proficient in Chinese. Unfortunately, the task force ignored a situation. Mary was Taiwanese. She had received a very good English education since she was a child. She had also lived in the United States for a long time, so her spoken American had long been as fluent as a native American. Of course, the task force's arrangement was not bad. At least, it made Mary feel very comfortable.
The two introduced themselves to Mary and were about to take her away. Mary did not dare to delay. She took Yang Qingqing's hand and said a few words of thanks, then followed the two back to the helicopter. The helicopter slowly rose, turned its direction in mid-air, and flew to Philadelphia with a loud propeller noise …
On Saturday morning, Li Rui received a call from Gao Dongdong from Philadelphia. It was Friday night in Philadelphia (the time difference between Philadelphia and Beijing was thirteen hours). Li Rui finally got a piece of good news from Gao Dongdong for the first time. Zeng Baohua (Mary), a Taiwanese woman who was kidnapped with Gao Zixuan, had escaped from the devil's den. She was currently under the strict protection of the task force. Li Rui believed that with the clues provided by Zeng Baohua, the task force could quickly find the terrorists' hideout and hopefully rescue Gao Zixuan as soon as possible.
However, there was a situation that made people speechless. It was unknown whether the task force was lazy or felt that it was difficult to carry out the investigation at night, but they did not immediately carry out the search according to the clues provided by Zeng Baohua. They planned to wait for the night (the sixth night of the ten-day deadline) and start the field investigation the next day. In other words, the task force intended to waste less than twelve hours of precious time.
If the task force had full confidence that they could find and rescue Gao Zixuan in the last three days, it would not be a big deal to waste one night. However, the problem was that the task force did not have the confidence to successfully rescue Gao Zixuan, and there was not much time left. How could they waste this precious night?
Gao Guotai and Gao Dongdong were both confused and dissatisfied. They asked the task force to carry out the search as soon as possible. However, the request of the father and son was ignored by the task force. They made up their minds to wait until the next day to carry out the search. Gao Dongdong was very dissatisfied and lost his temper on the spot. He was almost driven out by the task force. Fortunately, the task force mediated in time, and there was no conflict. The head of the task force warned Gao Guotai and Gao Guotai not to criticize the way the task force handled the case. Gao Dongdong was so angry that he called Li Rui to vent his anger. Of course, he also told Li Rui about the latest change.
When Li Rui heard about the situation, he was also furious. Zixuan was his woman. The Americans who formed the task force did not care about her life. As Zixuan's husband, how could he not care? Even if he had to think of a way, he had to do something for her.
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui told Qingman about the situation.
This was also the first weekend after the successful closing of the VIP meeting. Song Chaoyang gave Li Rui two days off. He returned to the provincial capital of Jingnan to accompany his beloved wife Qingman. At the same time, he was also waiting for news from Gao Dongdong.
Qingman was so angry that her face turned green. When Li Rui saw the change in her expression, he immediately realized that he should not have told her this mixed news. It would be bad if her pregnancy was affected because of anger. He hurriedly comforted her. "Don't worry. The task force won't help, but we can ask a friend for help. Xu Da has a good friend in the United States. That person is a senior agent in the CIA. She has a lot of authority and connections. She can definitely help with this matter. "
Qingman looked at him skeptically and asked, "Really? This is such a big case, and it involves a terrorist organization. Xu Da's friend can help? She can help? Then how capable is this friend of his? "
Li Rui saw that he had changed the topic and diverted her anger. He sighed in relief and said, "Her ability is beyond your imagination. Wait here, I'll go out and call Xu Da." After saying that, he walked out of the house and went to the courtyard to make the call.
Two minutes later, Xu Da heard the latest development of the case. Without thinking, she said decisively, "Since the task force is not efficient, then I will fly to the United States as soon as possible. I will find Yi Lian and work with her to rescue Zixuan. This way, the task force will be in the light, and we will be in the dark. With both sides working together, the rescue efficiency and success rate will be much higher. "
When Li Rui heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He also had an urge to give it a try. He asked, "You … you have a special identity. You can fly to America whenever you want. But what if I want to go too? How likely do you think it is if I go with you? "
Xu Da was stunned and asked curiously, "You want to go too?"
Li Ruixin's blood was boiling. He said, "Yes, I want to go with you and do something to rescue Zixuan. Even if I can't help much, I can still help a little. I just don't know if it's troublesome to go to the United States. I heard that it's easy to get a passport, but it's troublesome to get a visa. There doesn't seem to be enough time left. "
Xu Da said, "If you want to go to the United States, it's definitely too late to get a passport and visa. But you don't need to. You can go directly to the United States as Zixuan's family through the coordination of our country's foreign relations department."
Li Rui said, "But Gao Dongdong and his father are already in the United States. Can I still go with this identity?"
Xu Da said, "If you really want to go, then let the father and son of the Gao family go back to China first. You can go in their place at the same time. Anyway, there's no point for them to stay in the United States. What can they do to help?"
Li Rui's eyes lit up. Yes, this was a good idea. He could call Gao Dongdong to discuss it, but this matter still needed Qingman's approval. He had to convince Qingman first. He said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with them."
Xu Da said, "I'll also call Yi Lian and ask her to make preparations. We'll contact her later."
