Chapter 197

Officer Wang took off the walkie talkie from his belt, pressed the call button and said, "I'm old Wang from the third criminal investigation group of Furong police station. I'm in the neighborhood. I'll take someone to have a look at it right away. It's over."

"Received..."

Looking at the abnormal behavior of several policemen, David asked Gu Chen: "do you still have to work?"

"Yes, West Street, folk lane, police." Gu Chen is also quite surprised. Isn't this where David lives? It's a coincidence that the heart says.

"I'm going back, too. Can I go with you?" David asked.

Gu Chen glanced at him and said, "if you like, whatever you want."

……

……

At half past nine in the evening.

A gentle breeze dissipated the heat of the night.

Officer Wang drove to the intersection of a narrow lane

This is a one-way street, but often some ignorant drivers like to park on the side of the road, so that when two cars are parallel, it is easy to get scratched.

The road is made of green bricks, so that driving on the road, there is a very bumpy feeling.

Wei Junzhi, who was originally a member of the judicial police academy, returned to Furong police station with his old comrades after completing the task.

However, due to the sudden incident, officer Wang took his old partners Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei directly to the car. Wei Junzhi had to follow Gu Chen and go to the direction of the folk lane.

David, a blonde foreigner, walks all the way from the pedestrian street to the inner lane.

There are a lot of narrow roads here, which are not suitable for driving. Sometimes driving is not necessarily faster than taking a shortcut.

When officer Wang stopped at a small square in Min lane, David came here from another direction.

There are many fashionable foreigners in the area, and several tall blondes are standing by.

Many people did not feel very surprised when they saw the police car parked here. They were busy with their own affairs one by one.

"How can there be so many foreigners in this place?" After Lu Weiwei got off the bus, she was quite surprised.

"The rent is not expensive, and it is located in the business district. The most important thing is that the river runs through it, and there are many ancient buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, it is quite popular with foreigners. Many foreigners who come here to work and play will choose to rent houses here. Over time, a small gathering place for foreigners has been formed."

Gu Chen is also according to some of the information he knows, inform Lu Weiwei.

Officer Wang nodded and said, "Gu Chen is right. It's not surprising that many foreigners live in this community."

"Where is the place?" Asked Lu Weiwei.

Officer Wang pointed to an old villa with a courtyard in front of him and said, "it's there, Lane 19, No. 203."

Several people walked along the path. A young blonde in a long white dress was standing at the door, waiting anxiously.

There are also several foreigners and a small number of local people.

Seeing four policemen coming, the blonde quickly stepped out of the crowd.

"Who called the police?" Gu Chen opened the law enforcement recorder and took the lead to ask.

"It's me, officer." A blonde woman with standard Chinese pronunciation comes forward and says.

Gu Chen took out the transcript and said, "what is the situation? Talk about it. "

The blonde covered her mouth and wept bitterly: "officer, my husband is missing. He may It could have been kidnapped. "

"Kidnapping?" Lu Weiwei and officer Wang spoke in the same voice.

Several people looked at each other, quite surprised.

Seeing a large number of people gathered at the door, Gu Chen had to say, "can you go in and talk about it?"

The blonde nodded, gave way and said, "please."

Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei took the lead in entering the yard. Gu Chen stopped and said to Wei Junzhi, "you just stay here. Don't let others come in."

"Don't worry, elder martial brother, I know." With Gu Chen one day, Wei Junzhi also got a certain improvement in confidence, immediately nodded to show that he understood.

He knew that Gu Chen's task was to block the scene and prohibit irrelevant personnel from entering the yard.

Originally, he also followed me to see the situation. Now he got the assignment of senior brother, and Wei Junzhi was quite excited.

In the hall on the first floor of the old villa, the blonde took out several bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and put them beside them.

"Have a drink, officer." Said the blonde.

"Thank you." Gu Chen said thanks and went on to say, "let's get back to business. Do you understand me when I ask you?"

The woman nodded: "yes."

"Your name."

"Linda."

"Nationality."

"China."

Gu Chen's pen stops briefly on the page and looks up at Linda: "your nationality is China?"

"Yes, officer." Linda nodded and said that there was no problem: "I have lived in this land with my parents since I was a child. Moreover, I also like the culture here very much, so I followed my parents early and got the green card of China. I am also a Chinese."Hearing such an answer, Gu Chen, officer Wang and Lu Weiwei are still quite surprised.

"No wonder you speak Chinese so well." She said.

Linda nodded. "Thank you."

"Do you have any basis for saying that your husband was kidnapped?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked.

"That's it, officer." Linda adjusted her mood and continued, "an hour ago, I got a strange phone call from someone who told me that if I wanted my husband to live, he would have 500000 cash."

Gu Chen was silent for a few seconds and asked, "is that a prank? Haven't you contacted your husband lately

"No, comrade police. It's not a prank." "My husband hasn't been able to get in touch with him since last night. I thought his phone was out of power, but I was wrong. That man was calling from my husband's phone," she said with tears

"Wait a minute." Lu Weiwei suddenly cut in and said, "could it be this kind of situation, such as your husband's phone lost, just be picked up, and then call to cheat?"

Linda shook her head again: "no, my husband lost his phone. He would call me at the first time to tell me that he did it half a year ago, so I'm sure it's not the phone lost, but my husband was kidnapped."

"Since your husband disappeared last night, aren't you at home?" Gu Chen turned his pen and continued to ask.

"I played mahjong with some neighbors last night. It was fun. I played mahjong all night. I didn't find out until this morning that my husband didn't make a phone call last night. I thought he was sleeping, but he always called me first. He didn't call me yesterday."

"And then?" Gu Chen continued to ask.

"And then? And then an hour ago, I got the same call. " Linda sobbed a few times, and her tears came out again: "I haven't seen my husband for a whole day. He never disappears like this. He must have been kidnapped. I'm sure I didn't expect such a thing to happen. God, what should I do?"

"Don't get excited." Officer Wang, who had been listening quietly, interrupted Linda: "since someone called to ask you to pay the ransom, didn't they say how to give it to him when you were ready?"

Linda shook her head: "no, they didn't say how to exchange cash for my husband. They just told me to wait for the phone call. But I was afraid at home alone. I didn't know who else I could ask for help. I had to risk calling the police."

"My God, if it's true, don't you hurt your husband by calling the police like this?" Gu Chen is also holding his forehead, feeling that the woman is too reckless.

According to the law, the kidnapper must tell the police that they are not allowed to call the police when they are on the phone, but there is no such one in Linda's dictation.

Are the kidnappers too amateur?

The police report received was that a woman named Linda said that her husband was in danger and needed help from the police. The police center could not identify the situation for the time being. Therefore, the police officers on duty nearby were asked to come to understand the situation.

If it's really a kidnapping, Gu Chen and Wang can also choose to go in casual clothes, rather than come here in police uniform.

When she said this, Linda's mood seemed to fluctuate a lot. For a while, there were signs of collapse, and the whole person was impatient.

Gu Chen quickly stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder: "girl Linda, calm down first."

Without saying a word, Linda threw herself on Gu Chen and cried: "officer, I'm afraid that my husband may die. You must help him. Please help him."

"Well, let go." Gu Chen opens his hands and looks at Lu Weiwei with his left hand and his right hand.

Lu Weiwei second understand, rush forward, will hold Gu Chen's Linda to open, and take over Gu Chen to continue to embrace Linda: "Ms. Linda, don't worry, please trust our police, will find your husband back."

Seeing the two women embracing each other, officer Wang and Gu Chen also have a headache.

Linda gave too few clues, and Linda's husband lost contact last night, only today received the threatening phone call.

If so, is Linda's husband kidnapped last night or early this morning.

Or being kidnapped after going out today, all these things can happen.

"What's your husband's name, Ms. Linda? What does he do? " Officer Wang turned and asked.

After adjusting her mood, Linda said, "my husband's name is James. He runs a trading company in Jiangnan City, mainly exporting shoes and bags to Europe, America and some places in East Africa."

"Then you haven't asked the neighbors who saw him today or last night?" Asked Gu Chen.

Linda hesitated and shook her head.

Officer Wang turned to Gu Chen and said, "go to the next door and ask who has seen Ms. Linda's husband James between last night and now.""No problem." Gu Chen nodded and quickly turned to the yard.

Because the police car was parked in the square outside, and four police officers entered the old villa of Linda's house, there were many curious people around the door.

There are foreigners and locals

"Wei Junzhi." Gu Chen goes to the door.

Wei Junzhi still stood firmly in the yard, closed the iron gate, and did not let others go inside.

"What can I do for you, elder martial brother?" Wei Junzhi turns to ask a way, in fact the heart is still very nervous.

After all, the first time I faced the eyes of so many strange people, I could think that it was the first time that I had the opportunity to follow the police of the criminal investigation group of the police station to go on a mission. The whole person was still full of emotion.

"Not for the time being. Come and ask me." Gu Chen said and went to the door.

Wei Junzhi was stunned for two seconds, and then quickly followed Gu Chen.

"Which of you is Linda's neighbor? Who saw her husband James yesterday Gu Chen stood at the door and asked in Chinese and English.

In an instant, the onlookers looked at each other and looked at each other without knowing why.

"I'm Linda's neighbor." An old lady said, "but I didn't see her husband last night."

"I'm next door to her, too, and I haven't met James." Another middle-aged man also said.

After that, several people admitted to being Linda's neighbors, but no one met her husband James last night.

Just when Gu Chen thought there was no progress, a man who spoke fluent English suddenly raised his hand behind the crowd and waved to Gu Chen: "officer, it's me, it's me, David."

David looked very excited, Gu Chen simply opened the iron door and came to him through the crowd.

"David, are you Linda's neighbor?" Gu Chen asked him curiously.

"Yes." "I rented a room in the old villa next door to her house. I'm a neighbor of hers," David admitted

"Did you see her husband last night?" Gu Chen asked again.

David nodded. "Yes, I think I saw it last night."

Gu Chen looked at the crowd around him. He immediately pulled David and said, "David, you come with me."

Later, Wei Junzhi closed the iron gate again and stood guard near the door.

This time, he is obviously more confident than before

On the other side, Gu Chen takes David to the hall on the first floor.

At the moment, Wang and Lu Weiwei are still asking for other details.

Seeing Gu Chen with the blond man he met at the intersection of West Street, officer Wang couldn't help asking, "Gu Chen, what are you bringing him for?"

"Senior brother Wang, David is Linda's neighbor. He said he saw James yesterday." Gu Chen said.

When Linda saw this, her eyes suddenly brightened. She rushed to David and asked in English, "David, is that true? Did you really see my husband James last night? "

"That's right, Ms. Linda. Your husband would say hello to me every day when he went out to see me. I've been discussing travel plans together, so We are good friends

David also talked about James.

But after thinking about it, David suddenly said, "Linda, your husband James, he..."

"He was kidnapped, just last night." Linda said here, also with tears in her eyes.

“What？？？”

David was stunned: "kidnapping? You mean your husband James was kidnapped last night

"Yes, David, please tell me what you saw last night? Please Linda is going crazy now.

Especially when I heard something about my husband, I would like to know it immediately.

"I remember it should be around nine o'clock when I was shooting stars, as if I saw a man with a black cap down to your door."

David said this and began to recall what he saw yesterday.

"What happened then?" Asked Gu Chen.

"Later? Then James, Linda's husband, came to the door and took the man into the house

"Why what? Did James bring the man into the room? " Lu Weiwei was quite surprised.

"Yes, yes, I'm sure it was. It was James who brought the man into the room." David affirmed once again.

Linda was so confused that she didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Did you see the man clearly?" Asked Gu Chen.

David shook his head: "it was very dark at that time, and there were old houses on our side. The street lamps were not very bright, and the brim of the man's hat was very low. However, judging from his walking, he looked like a man about 30 years old. He should not be over 40 years old."

David also made a simple analysis according to the basic situation he saw."That is to say, it was Mr. James's acquaintance who came home last night." Gu Chen looked up at police officer Wang and Lu Weiwei: "if it is a model person, James will not bring him in. Obviously, this person knows James."

"I agree." Lu Weiwei also said: "we can eliminate the stranger first, from the acquaintance James knows to start the investigation."

"But he knows a lot of people. My husband knows a lot of people. It's hard, isn't it?" Linda is also quite anxious.

Officer Wang looked at the door and asked, "don't you have any monitoring equipment around your home? Especially for old houses like you, at least you have to install a monitoring device. "

"No Linda shook her head regretfully: "there used to be surveillance here, but later it was often broken by several children with stones. The neighbors have always been very taboo, especially the parents of these children. It is very difficult to talk to the parents of these children, and the compensation problem has been dragging on and on. Later, people have no idea of monitoring again and again."

"It's over." Lu Weiwei spread out her hands and said, "without these unfortunate children, maybe we can find your husband soon. What are you afraid of?"

I thought that even if there were no public cameras near the business district, there should also be private civilian cameras. But who would have known this?

Linda was also quite sad and said, "what should I do now if I can't find James?"

"Don't worry, Ms. Linda. These policemen are very nice. They will help you find your husband. Really." Seeing Linda's helpless face and crying, David took the initiative to comfort her.

Gu Chen folded his waist and looked down for a few seconds. After asking for advice, Ms. Linda, since things have happened, please don't be too upset. We will help you find James's whereabouts as soon as possible. But now, can we do a search on the room
