Chapter 187: Grab time!
[If you dare to call the police, I will cut your daughter into pieces and throw them into Linjiang so that you will never find her body! 】
The words on the white cardboard made Song Changming's body freeze immediately, but his mind became slightly clearer.
He doesn’t know the kidnapper’s demands yet. If he calls the police rashly, who knows what will happen!
The video is still playing, and a white cardboard is switched in front of the camera, which says:
[If you want to keep your daughter alive, broadcast the other video I gave you on TV! 】
Although the white cardboard blocked the camera, he could still see his daughter's desperate and fearful eyes, and Song Changming's heart was trembling.
Then, the camera switched to the third white cardboard:
[The burning time of the candle is six to eight hours. After that, I can’t see the video on the TV news, and the venomous snake will I will bite your daughter to death! 】
Finally, the white cardboard was removed, and the camera showed the whole scene of the daughter being tied up.
Cobra, candle, glass dish and daughter's pale face.
The video lasted less than two minutes. During these two minutes, Song Mingchang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, trembling all over.
He quickly played the video back again. This time, he held back his panic, calmed down, and watched the video carefully.
The second video the kidnapper said?
Where is the second video?
Song Changming hurriedly picked up the second USB flash drive on the desktop and inserted it into the card slot of the host. In the computer folder, he found the video, clicked it with the mouse, and immediately moved away from the screen, afraid of seeing something. Something to fear.
After watching it for less than two minutes, Song Changming realized the seriousness of the problem.
This video is from the police arrest operation. He saw the halo of countless flashlights and a dilapidated classroom.
Seeing the SWAT police breaking the window, rushing into the classroom, and rescuing the hostages, he also saw a familiar figure.
Luo Rui!
He ran in from outside the classroom, turned off the oil lamp, picked up his mobile phone, and as soon as he answered the call, he immediately shouted something to the crowd.
But suddenly, a large piece of blood mist suddenly spurted out from the victim's abdomen, just like a watermelon dropped to the ground from a height, with red pulp splattering everywhere!
The surrounding criminal policemen were shocked, and they all got out of the way, staring blankly at everything in front of them.
Song Changming saw clearly what caused the victim to die suddenly!
His stomach was churning and he retched twice.
Gear saw blade, this thing is used to saw wood, was used by the murderer to saw people!
At this time, he finally understood what the kidnappers wanted to do. He ordered himself to broadcast the video, which meant that everyone could see the police's mistakes and incompetence.
Song Changming's brain was running rapidly. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the study room. The current time was 10:30 in the evening. The evening news on the TV station was at 11:30, half the time. Hour.
After midnight, the TV program becomes the early morning theater and no longer broadcasts news programs.
However, the program content of the evening news has been arranged long ago. Even if there is breaking news, a series of procedures such as filing and approval are required. Even if you want to broadcast this video early, it will have to be broadcast at the latest Also wait until the morning news.
If you use your power to force the broadcast, not only will your career be over, but the TV station will also be over, and how many people will suffer along with it!
This kidnapper totally wants to destroy himself!
But if the report is not reported, her daughter will...
When Song Changming was in a dilemma, he heard a knock on the door of the study.
The wife shouted outside: "Lao Song, the hot water has been put for you, come out and take a bath!"
Song Changming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his palms were covered with sweat.
He calmed down and decided to call the police!
No matter what, he cannot gamble or ruin the career he has worked hard for all his life.
My daughter can only be rescued by the police!
Although she may die, at least she won't destroy this family!
With this thought in mind, he picked up his cell phone and dialed the number.
......
Haijiang Branch, a switchboard police officer immediately stood up from his chair after receiving the call.
She left her seat and hurriedly walked towards the office of the criminal police captain.
She did not find Du Feng in the office, but met Cai Xiaojing coming out of the bathroom in the corridor.
"Captain Cai, someone from Huafeng International Community called the police. The person who called the police said that his daughter had been kidnapped. The kidnapper sent him a video and threatened him to broadcast the video of the police rescuing the hostages!"
Although she didn’t understand what she heard, Cai Xiaojing immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
“What’s the name of the person who called the police?”
“Song Changming, he said he was the deputy director of the TV station!”
Cai Xiaojing stopped talking and turned to Ran to Wei Qunshan's office.
Ten minutes later, five police cars drove out from Haijiang Branch and sped towards Huafeng International Community.
Luo Rui, Cai Xiaojing, Du Feng and Wei Qunshan were sitting in the same car.
What they were worried about finally appeared.
While driving, Du Feng asked: "Why did the murderer have to be reported by Deputy Director Song?"
Everyone was a little confused about this question.
Wei Qunshan has asked the police officers of the Information Section to work overtime and pay close attention to the appearance of videos that discredit the police on the Internet. If they appear on the Internet, they will immediately have the video website delete them!
But in the past two days, that video has not appeared online.
What no one expected was that the murderer would kidnap the daughter of the deputy director of the TV station and ask the other party to broadcast the video.
This is hard to fathom.
Luo Rui just saw Song Fanghua this morning, and it was the school where she sent Mo Wanqiu to. Unexpectedly, she was kidnapped by the murderer.
The kidnapper turned out to be the murderer he had been tracking.
Is this a coincidence? Or is it deliberately targeting yourself?
Luo Rui exhaled a breath and replied: "What is the relationship between Song Fanghua and Peng Li, Qiao Jun, and Qiao Dahai.
Obviously, she and the three victims are not In the same class, how did the murderer know her?
Is it really just a threat to Song Changming? ”
Du Feng nodded in agreement, Luo Rui's analysis made sense.
Although these people are from the police system, they still understand the rules of the TV station to some extent. If you want to release the video, you will be subject to strict censorship. How can it be so easy to report on just saying it?
Even if Song Changming was in a high position, he did not have this right unless he did it secretly.
Wei Qunshan rubbed his eyelids and pondered: "Then we overestimated the murderer. He didn't understand the TV station's news broadcasting mechanism at all! Or, the murderer had a grudge against Song Changming, just like killing Qiao Jun That's just playing tricks on us. But this Song Changming needs to be investigated. There must be a reason behind this."
His words are the same as what Luo Rui thought.
Song Changming is not clean at all. It is clear just by looking at the large flat floor of his house.
But if he had not committed something serious, no one would pursue this matter. Everyone chose to remain silent in a tacit understanding.
Besides, Wei Qunshan just said to investigate, but the power of investigation will not be in the hands of the police.
Luo Rui analyzed: "I feel that the murderer is in a hurry. We just found out some clues, and he strikes again! Ordinary criminals, when they commit a crime, either hide or escape, like How dare he confront the police so blatantly? Gangsters are rare.”
Du Feng agreed: “Yes, in the 1990s, many gangsters were like this. They were not afraid of the police at all! At that time, some criminals were extremely arrogant and dared to fight with them. Police fight on the street! ”
Wei Qunshan said: "This murderer must not have committed a crime for the first time. How can he be so omnipotent? He must be carrying other cases."
Everyone agrees with this. If you are a novice, the murderer They would not have such strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, nor would they be so courageous.
Unless he is a born criminal.
But it is impossible for such a person to appear in this land.
Huafeng International Community is fifteen kilometers away from Haijiang Branch. It was already after 11 o'clock at night when we arrived.
Song Changming is Luo Rui's neighbor across the door. He is equivalent to returning to his own home.
In order to facilitate the investigation by the comrades of the branch, Luo Rui opened the door of his house to provide work for the technical detective police.
Anyway, the house is very big, and the living room can accommodate more than a dozen people.
We have long heard that Team Leader Luo bought a big house at a young age. When the detectives took a look, they found that they had a lot of money. The appliances and furniture in the house alone cost millions. Such a house is ordinary. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the police to live there for the rest of their lives.
Song Changming had been waiting for a long time, but while waiting for the police to arrive, he had put away all the valuable things at home.
For example, he remembered that the luxury watch on his wrist and the jade Buddha on his wife's neck were given to them by a businessman in Yunzhou, so that the advertisements for their health care products could be placed during the prime time of TV programs.
A group of experts came here to solve murder cases. No matter how hard he tried to cover up, people would still see it out.
Just as Luo Rui thought, this house was not something that a comrade with a clear mind should own.
Confused, the detectives didn’t say much.
Especially Wei Qunshan, who didn’t even look around and only asked about the case.
Song Changming saw a criminal police officer from the branch. His face could not be said to be happy, but he was not unhappy either.
However, even the leader of the game came, and he was still shocked.
"Director Wei, come with me!"
Song Changming took them into the study and handed the USB flash drive to Wei Qunshan: "I received two USB flash drives, one It's a video of my daughter's kidnapping. One is your police's arrest. The kidnapper asked me to broadcast your video on the TV station, but I still chose to call the police! You must rescue my daughter!”
Song Changming said that his choice was very noble. He said it so fearlessly that Wei Qunshan snorted in his heart.
"Don't worry, it's our police's responsibility to rescue the hostages."
After saying that, he handed the video to Zhao Ming next to him, who quickly took it and placed two laptops on the desk. , insert the two U disks into the computer card slots respectively.
Not long after, two videos were played at the same time.
In the study, there were more than a dozen criminal policemen standing, everyone holding their breath and frowning.
What Luo Rui focused on was watching the video of Song Fanghua being kidnapped. The more he watched, the more frightened he became!
[The burning time of the candle is six to eight hours. After that, I can’t watch the video on the TV news. The poisonous snake will bite your daughter to death! 】
After the text on the whiteboard came out, the detectives gritted their teeth.
This kind of thing, they had just experienced it in the early morning of the day before. They found the victim within the specified time. If the time was missed, the guillotine would fall and the victim's head would be missing. But in the end, the police were fooled by the murderer and made a major mistake.
It has only been one day and this has happened again!
And it takes less time!
In six to eight hours, the candle will burn out, and the cobra in the glass container will slide into the glass tube and penetrate into Song Fanghua's mouth.
Cobras are highly venomous. As long as they are bitten, if they do not receive timely treatment, they will only die from the poison!
Wei Qunshan’s heart sank to the bottom.
"Where did the snakes come from in winter? Who can tell me, what is this murderer and where did he find the snakes? He is confronting us over and over again. What does he want to do?! ”
The leader was obviously angry, and the detectives did not dare to say anything. However, Zhao Ming pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "The cobra also has to spend the winter. If the candle is extinguished, it may not bite the victim immediately. It is very likely that the cobra will not bite the victim immediately." It will slide directly into the esophagus, seeking a warm place."
As soon as these words came out, everyone shuddered. Listen, is this what a human said?
Song Changming turned pale with fright. He not only wanted his daughter to live, but also wanted to keep his official position.
I originally placed my hope in the police, but I didn’t know that when the criminal police saw the video, he felt that his daughter was certain to die.
He immediately grabbed Luo Rui's arm and begged: "Luo Rui, I beg you, you must save my daughter!"
Although Luo Rui was also panicked, he was still calm. He immediately asked: "When did you receive the USB flash drive? Our community is monitored. Even near the mailbox, the property management has installed surveillance! Now, at the end of the day, The important thing is, who posted the letter? How much time does your daughter have left?"
The anxious Wei Qunshan also woke up immediately, and he ordered two criminal police officers to quickly go to the property to obtain surveillance.
Then, Zhao Ming and his two apprentices began to analyze the video. Like last time, after enhancing the video, they cut out pictures and looked for them frame by frame.
Zhao Ming’s graphic investigation skills are even better than those of the city bureau’s technical detectives!
If the traffic police brigade cannot handle the video, they will usually ask him to help.
In order to keep quiet and have no time to rush back to the bureau to deal with it, he used Luo Rui's house as his office.
The performance of the laptop was so poor that Luo Rui quickly woke up his father-in-law and asked him to bring in two desktop computers.
The computers are used by Mo Liguo for stock trading. They are of the highest configuration and Zhao Ming can mess with them as he pleases.
He Chunhua and Mo Wanqiu also woke up. The family was frightened when they saw a large group of criminal police officers. They asked what happened, but due to discipline, Luo Rui did not dare to tell them.
Mo Liguo has sharp eyes. When he saw Wei Qunshan and several senior police chiefs from the provincial department, he knew that the case was not small. When he looked at Deputy Director Song, who usually looked like a dog, his face looked bitterer than a bitter gourd. I knew something must have happened in his family.
Luo Rui originally asked Mo Liguo to go back and rest, but his father-in-law was a ghost and started to serve.
Buying drinks for a large group of criminal policemen, ordering late night snacks, and serving tea and water got to work.
Luo Rui was heartbroken by what he saw.
At this time, Du Feng was still in the mood to joke and pushed Luo Rui: "Your father-in-law is a good person. If you are so good at getting things done, your business will definitely do well."
" Drink your milk tea! ”
Luo Rui rolled his eyes at him and helped pass the milk tea to the detective next to him.
The two detectives who took the surveillance video came back. They hurried out of the elevator and handed several hard drives to Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming immediately copied the video and watched it on his computer.
The time on the surveillance camera was 9:30 pm. A man wearing a black hoodie and a peaked cap put the envelope into the mailbox of Song Changming's home.
This time, he did not find someone to replace him, nor did he avoid surveillance. He appeared calm and composed, not caring that surveillance would capture him.
Moreover, before leaving, he slightly raised his face to the surveillance camera. His chin could be seen in the video, but his eyes could not be seen.
Du Feng pinched the milk tea cup and cursed fiercely: "How crazy! This is really provoking us!"
Wei Qunshan also gritted his teeth and told Zhao Ming: "Hurry up Analyze the video and we must successfully rescue the victim! This time, we can’t be fooled again!”
Luo Rui stared at the surveillance video without blinking.
When the video was about to end, he hurriedly said: "Go back!"
Zhao Ming hurriedly pulled back the progress of the video...
Luo Rui shouted: "Stop, go a little further, yes, right here!"
The video stopped playing and froze at the murderer He raised his left foot and stepped forward.
Du Feng and Wei Qunshan said at the same time: "What's wrong?"
Luo Rui ignored them and said to Zhao Ming: "Brother Zhao, look at the sole of his left foot."< br>
The murderer was wearing a pair of white sneakers, but they were dirty.
Luo Rui pointed to the screen: "There seems to be something stuck on the sole of his left foot."
Zhao Ming quickly cut out the video footage, and then used Photoshop software to enhance the picture effect.
Next, enlarge the picture.
What appeared in front of everyone was a flat object the size of a fingernail, attached to the sole of the shoe. In addition, you could also see that the side of the shoe was dirty, as if it had been stained by something.
Du Feng wondered: "What is this? It's slightly reflective."
The detectives in the room looked at it, but they couldn't figure out why.
Zhao Ming frowned and said: "It should be something like buttons. The buttons have a smooth surface and are reflective."
As he said that, he operated the computer and searched on the search engine , but couldn’t find a shape that matched this thing at all.
At this time, Luo Rui said: "These are fish scales!"
"Fish scales?!"
Everyone looked at him blankly. Zhao Ming quickly searched for the fish scales and found that the pictures on the computer were exactly the same as what was stuck on the soles of the murderer's feet.
Du Feng blinked: "Luo Rui, how do you know these are fish scales?"
"My family used to run a small restaurant. My dad was killing fish, and I stood by and watched. When I clean, there will be fish scales on the soles of my feet."
Du Feng asked again: "So, the murderer is a fish killer?"
Luo Rui shook his head and replied: "It is very likely that the murderer passed by the place where fish is killed, or he may live in such a place.
Where would the place where fish are killed and scaled be? Only The wet market! The fish scales on the soles of his feet. , it must have been stuck accidentally.
Moreover, his shoes are very dirty. It has been raining in the past few days, which is very suitable for the environment of the vegetable market!"
Listening to Luo Rui's analysis, Wei Qunshan glanced at him approvingly.
Cai Xiaojing immediately operated the computer and searched for nearby vegetable markets. Zhao Ming also opened Song Fanghua's video again to analyze where she would be trapped.
But this time the video has no specific background at all. It can only be seen that Song Fanghua is tied in an armchair, with a cement wall behind her.
Other than that, there are no other clues to follow.
Not long after, Cai Xiaojing looked up from the computer screen and reported: "Guangxing City has a total of fifty-three wet markets, large and small, and each market has a fish stall!"
Indeed, Guangxing City is the provincial capital city with a population of over 10 million, and there are certainly many vegetable markets.
Also, this is not a supermarket, but the fish stalls in the supermarket must be more standardized, and the place where the fish is killed is behind the counter.
Hearing this, everyone felt overwhelmed. There were only more than 300 police officers in Haijiang Branch. Even in the Shanghai Bureau, there were not many people who could conduct searches, not to mention it was still late at night.
Wei Qunshan asked Zhao Ming: "How many hours are left until the damn candle burns out?"
"The murderer sent the letter at nine-thirty. It will take six to six to finish the candle." Eight hours, it’s now 11:30 at night, conservatively estimate, we only have two to three hours, maybe less!”
Hearing this, everyone’s heart froze, it’s so short! At that time, it might be more difficult to rescue Song Fanghua than to reach the sky!
The murderer is extremely cunning. Who knows if he will arrange another mechanism to put the police into trouble.
In fact, the safest way is to conduct a step-by-step investigation. At least there will be no mistakes like last time, and the police will not be played by the murderer.
But conscience cannot let Wei Qunshan do this. Rescuing the hostages is the first responsibility of the police.
Throughout the whole time, several senior police chiefs from the provincial department remained silent, because when the task force was first established, the criminal experts Li Mubai brought in vowed to solve this major case, but in the end, Li Mubai's psychological portrait of the murderer was nonsense, and he himself fled.
The faces of the people in the provincial department are even uglier. They have long since extinguished their enthusiasm for handling the case. Now they are waiting for the Haijiang Branch to handle it.
Who makes you guys better than the city bureau!
If you don’t do it, who will?
Wei Qunshan understood their thoughts and was too lazy to pay attention to them. He said to several police officers from the information department: "Work harder and watch the road surveillance carefully and quickly!"
Now They just wanted to use road surveillance, hoping to find traces of the murderer in order to narrow the scope of the investigation.
At the same time, Cai Xiaojing has printed out the addresses of fifty-three wet markets on more than a dozen pieces of paper.
Luo Rui hurriedly took one, then picked up a pen from the table. He sat aside and buried his head in reading.
Everyone knows that now is the time to compete for secrets, and every second of time is precious.
The criminal police from Haijiang Branch took action immediately!
Zhao Ming’s hands are like the tentacles of an octopus, constantly typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse to enhance the next video and picture...
Du Feng stood behind the information department police officer, Her eyes were fixed on the computer screen, looking for traces of the murderer under the surveillance...
Cai Xiaojing kept making phone calls, following Wei Qunshan's orders, calling for support from the special police and the local police station, especially ambulances and doctors. Must be available at all times...
Luo Rui carefully checked the vegetable market, and he crossed out those that were far away...
Time passed minute by second...
While everyone was busy nervously, they would also watch from time to time. Keep an eye on time.
Until 12:30 at night, everyone’s movements had slowed down.
Zhao Ming just said that there are only two to three hours before the candles are burned out, and now half of the time has passed.
Everyone understood that in the remaining hour or so, it was impossible to rescue the hostages!
Hope is passing slowly...
Please vote for me, thank you.
