Chapter 630 Motive
Wu Shaobo would send this kind of picture at this time, and his intention is self-evident.
This also reflects from the side that he has indeed been lurking in the temple for a long time. In fact, every move of the Chu family is under his surveillance, so he can accurately seize today's opportunity.
Su Chengyi just took the phone and took a look at it while waiting for the traffic light, and then exited the MMS interface without hesitation.
Although it was just a photo with unclear pixels, Su Chengyi could almost completely restore everything in his mind.
How did she get the wishing ribbon with crooked eyes, how did she write down the wish one by one, and with what kind of pious mood did she hang the ribbon on the wishing tree.
This century-old tree has already carried millions of wishes. The girl stood on tiptoes and raised her only selfishness to the highest place she could reach.
The breeze in the mountains was blowing, and the chanting of sutras was coming. As always, she made a sincere wish, wishing that the boy she liked would be safe every year.
No matter what effect Wu Shaobo hoped for when he sent this picture, he succeeded.
Because Su Chengyi belatedly realized a problem, that is, Chu Qingmian had always been very worried about him, and this worry obviously affected her vigilance about her own safety.
When she went to Iceland some time ago, Chu Qingmian always looked a little worried. She would look at him in a daze from time to time, and occasionally sigh.
This is completely unlike the style of Miss Chu, who is full of vitality, but when others ask her why she sighs, she will say "Huh?" in confusion, and say in confusion:
"Did I just sigh? Oh, I didn't notice."
This state was obviously extremely wrong, and I should have noticed it a long time ago.
Su Chengyi stared directly at the busy traffic ahead, forcing out the regret that filled his heart. At this time, being disturbed was exactly what Wu Shaobo wanted.
Chu Qingmian is not a heartless, silly and sweet young lady as she appears on the surface. She is very capable in many aspects.
Therefore, compared to Chu Yuanjiang who started celebrating the victory prematurely, she felt more keenly that things were not that simple. The Hou family would not be willing to be suppressed to death like this.
However, she was more worried about Su Chengyi than her own safety.
Compared with her, the risk of attacking Su Chengyi and the possible blow are lighter. The Hou family has always been good at attacking from such an angle. It makes people feel like they are being stared at by wild wolves in the suburbs, and they really can't sleep well. .
In addition, Chu Qingmian has been secretly tracking Wu Shaobo. Whether it is from his life or crime habits, he is definitely not a gun that can be pointed at anywhere.
Su Chengyi independently investigated the old case many years ago and the new fraud gang case last year and dug up many clues, which would obviously make Wu Shaobo pay great attention and interest to him.
Coupled with the relationship between Su Chengyi and her, no matter how you look at it, his situation is no safer than his own.
It is precisely because of these considerations that she is often absent-minded, giving opportunities to criminals lurking in the dark.
The clearer this became, the more Su Chengyi's heart sank.
The Porsche's engine roared, attracting passersby's attention.
The two people in the passenger seat and the back seat felt the silence in the driver's seat and did not speak. For a while, there was only the sound of wind blowing fiercely.
However, the reasons for silence are not similar.
Chen Jinzhi looked at the scenery passing by outside the car window, wondering what she was thinking. For a girl like her, no one could guess what she was thinking.
But it was easy to guess what Xiao Zheng was thinking. He felt completely out of breath now, and his brain was feeling dizzy.
No, not buddy? ? ?
Well, the current situation can be summed up very simply. Miss Chu was kidnapped by a vicious criminal. The criminal was mentally ill and wanted nothing but money. He asked Su Chengyi to exchange Chen Jinzhi for her. Only one of the two could survive.
Xiao Zheng knows that the current situation is serious and there are some things that he should not think about. The young master who has already stepped on the accelerator has no time to think about it, but
Isn't the Shura Field exploding? ! Why are the two people in the front row so calm? !
Xiao Zheng grabbed a handful of his messy hair and felt that the whole world was in chaos.
Su Chengyi's lack of reaction could be attributed to the urgency of the situation, and he didn't have the time to think about it.
So, what about Chen Jinzhi?
Suddenly being involved in such an incident, he learned that his boyfriend had another girl who was so important that he could exchange his life for it without hesitation. In the end, he voluntarily took the passenger seat as a bargaining chip to welcome the coming completeness. Unknown dangerous situation.
Why is she so calm?
This fucked up world is really in chaos.
Xiao Zheng cursed in his heart, and slapped himself with the palm of his hand, causing the two people in the front row to look up and look back.
"It's nothing, I just think reality is too magical. Do you want to play a police movie or a spy movie with me?"
Xiao Zheng let out a long sigh.
In his victorious career, he finally came to a situation where he was at a loss. Of course, this question was really beyond the scope.
He was just in the entertainment industry and had only seen scammers, but never serious robbers who used real weapons and weapons.
Su Chengyi glanced at the navigation route, and then said:
"The Chu family sent me Wu Shaobo's personal information. Chu Qingmian has been checking him in private and has gained something. Take a look and pick out the key points."
"Okay."
Xiao Zheng hurriedly responded and opened his phone to check the file Su Chengyi had just sent.
Uncle Gao sent the document attached to the map. As an experienced person, he knew that if the kidnapping case proceeds to face-to-face negotiations with the robber, it is very important to know his personal life and information in advance.
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Xiao Zheng clicked on this document, which contained personal information organized like a dossier. Wu Shaobo's photo was attached to the first page.
Xiao Zhengguang, who has read countless people, judged at the first glance that this person was definitely not a good person.
The typical three-white eyes represent that the person has a vicious temper, a tiger-like heart, a thin face, and protruding eye sockets, which makes people feel extremely uneasy when they look at each other.
Criminal suspects in many major cases have such outstanding facial features.
Continuing to scroll down, you will find part of Wu Shaobo’s life that was investigated.
His parents died young, and he was sent to live in an orphanage by his uncle and aunt's family when he was young. He escaped when he was just thirteen years old and started wandering. During this period, he was caught stealing things and sent to education several times, leaving some records.
His wandering route was very long, spanning almost two provinces. He finally settled down and gathered a gang of gangsters. He became the leader by relying on his learned stealing skills, but he got into trouble again before he reached adulthood.
After he was released, he tried to smuggle himself abroad to "make money" through the contacts he met in the detention center. However, he was deceived into working for a criminal gang in northern Myanmar.
Wu Shaobo was cruel and ruthless, and he knew how to stay humble. He was the smartest among the people who were deceived, so he quickly got the opportunity to be "promoted" and once again climbed from the bottom to the second-in-command position.
The criminal gangs in such an area are not comparable to the gangster team he led before. Wu Shaobo used all his dirty skills here, and finally stabbed the gang in the back at a critical moment and fled back to the country alone.
It is precisely because of this experience that Chu Yuanjiang described him as "a person who crawled out of the grave."
Just like the crawlers in the sewers, those he targets will not end well. No matter how many layers of defense measures are set up, when dreaming back at midnight, they will subconsciously worry about whether there is a pair of eyes peeking out of the peephole, waiting for an opportunity. .
"Counter-reconnaissance, firearms, disguise, criminal techniques, and evidence elimination. In short, he has all the characteristics of a criminal you can think of." Xiao Zheng swallowed, his tone heavy and uneasy.
"Master, this is a fucking enhanced version of Jack the Ripper made in China, can you understand?"
"Yeah."
Su Chengyi nodded, expressionless.
Combining Wu Shaobo's personal experience and the information about the Hou family that he just said on the phone, it can be inferred that his motive for committing the crime has indeed changed.
He and the Hou family are indeed only interested in each other. The reason why he is still willing to help the Hou family at this time is because once the Hou family falls, his protective umbrella will be gone. , it was only a matter of time before he was caught.
Kidnapping Chu Qingmian was probably the request of the Hou family, but contacting Su Chengyi and proposing the so-called exchange game must have been his own whim.
The reason why Wu Shaobo chose such a high-risk kidnapping method was probably because he was prepared to trade one life for another. From the beginning, he had no intention of letting Chu Qingmian go back alive.
Once such a dangerous criminal with a strong personal criminal ability has such an idea, no one will be able to escape. After all, not even a certain Prime Minister has become an exception to the lucky escape.
Therefore, it is just a coincidence that we will catch up with this ancestor worship process.
The person who made Wu Shaobo change his mind was Su Chengyi. After learning about their relationship, Wu Shaobo's purpose of kidnapping Chu Qingmian completely changed.
Although the situation cannot be said to have improved much, such changes have given Chu Qingmian hope of survival.
After realizing this, Su Chengyi calmed down again.
At least it's not the worst situation yet, there must be a way to survive.
"So, Master, how did you get involved with this kind of person?"
Xiao Zheng's expression turned green as if he had eaten a fly.
He really couldn't figure out how many identities this young master had. On the surface, he was the most popular law student in the academic world, but secretly, he was the young boss of a game studio, and he was also the most popular music producer nowadays.
In addition, he is not idle on the romantic front either. He is in love with a wealthy lady and a famous star who is in the spotlight at the same time.
Even so, he could still find time to play a guest role like a famous detective, and start to fight against such a vicious criminal.
Playing Earth Online like this is a bit like cheating.
So, in the current situation, God is probably taking action to punish cheating players.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng sighed, feeling that the more the wheels rolled forward, the heavier the fog shrouded between them became.
"It's a long story."
Su Chengyi shook his head, not intending to discuss this topic in depth.
Because speaking of it, all of this is really a coincidence.
Who would have thought that Granny Xu, the neighbor who lives next door, was sent to a remote Jushan Nursing Home by her children who were greedy for cheap medical expenses because of Alzheimer's disease.
There, Granny Xu met Xia Yu, a survivor of the massacre many years ago, and because of her blurred memory, she told her that she could come home to play with her mother-in-law more often, causing Xia Yu to slip out of the nursing home and be treated as a food thief by the neighbors. Neighbor tracking.
Just in time, she knocked on Su Chengyi's door again to ask for help, and the two officially met.
After that, Su Chengyi met the enthusiastic aunt at the laundry in Olive District because of the Lin Tong siblings, and learned about the disappearance of her son Zhou Yan.
It was so coincidental that because he wanted to investigate the incident of Chen Jinzhi being followed, when Su Chengyi was tracking down He Wufei, he accidentally entered a banquet held by the Hou family to honor Wu Shaobo after he was released from prison. He Wufei sensed something was wrong and ran away early, leaving Su Chengyi in the dark. , but he happened to have a relationship with Zhou Yan, who disappeared later.
Moreover, Zhou Yan was indeed captured by Wu Shaobo's criminal gang, and at Su Chengyi's request, Chu Yuanjiang intervened to fish him out and brought him to Jushan Sanatorium for recuperation.
Things have developed to this point, forming a perfect closed loop, interconnected and logically connected.
Now re-outlining the relationship between this large circle of people in his mind, Su Chengyi felt a little incredible for a while.
If I had to talk about these complicated and intertwined things from the beginning to Xiao Zheng, I don’t know how long it would take.
What is the difference between the real world and "The Truman Show"? There are some plots that even the most imaginative screenwriters in the world cannot come up with.
Su Chengyi tightened his grip on the steering wheel and frowned.
Could it be that all these plot developments were just to send him to the current dilemma?
"What are you going to do when you get to the scenic spot?"
Xiao Zheng dug his nails into the leather seat and asked carefully.
"Wu Shaobo said that exchange must require a face-to-face exchange process. He deliberately did not reveal too much information. He just asked me to contact him when I arrived at the scenic spot. I guess he would wait until then to tell me what to do next. In this way, Prevent me from preparing in advance.”
Su Chengyi looked at the shorter and shorter routes and times on the navigation system and said in a deep voice.
"In this case, we should call the police."
Xiao Zheng said with a sad face.
"No."
Chen Jinzhi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up. Her eyes were still on the window, her peach blossom eyes rarely smiled, and she looked very serious.
"At least not now."
Chen Jinzhi paused for a moment before continuing:
"Wu Shaobo has been dormant near the scenic spot for so long. He must have been prepared for such a request.
If we choose to call the police, he will find out immediately. There is no guarantee that he will do anything that threatens personal safety at that time.
Although it is very passive to say this, the best way at the moment is to cooperate with him and wait until the face-to-face meeting is actually reached before adapting to the situation. ”
At this point, perhaps sensing that the atmosphere in the carriage was too solemn and uneasy, Chen Jinzhi sighed softly and continued:
"At least for now, it seems that he has no accomplices. Judging from the number of people, we have the advantage."
As soon as she said these words, Xiao Zheng straightened his back immediately, and a sense of collective honor arose spontaneously.
But thinking of the appalling dossier he had just read, he softened again and pointed to himself hesitantly:
"Me, me?"
