The call was from Alex's wife. I could tell that she was very panicked now, and her voice was still crying, "Alex, our child has been kidnapped. What should I do now?", on the phone. The cry made Alex realize that this was not a joke, but he didn't understand why his child was kidnapped.
He only has one child, probably because he was actually very disappointed with "father's love" after living in the shadow of His Excellency the Governor for so many years. He didn't want to let the other children get hurt by favoring one of them after having too many children. , so he only wanted one child. In this way, he can give all his fatherly love to his only child, instead of selectively ignoring whom, which is unfair.
Once he suffered something unfair, he would not let his children suffer it again.
His child is a daughter, who is just sixteen years old this year. Her birthday was only in July. She is a lovely girl. Her academic performance was very good, and Alex did not relax his requirements for his daughter. He hired some tutors. She is also good at dancing and the social etiquette of the upper class. She is definitely a dignified and beautiful girl and will definitely become the darling of the upper class in the future.
But now, she's been kidnapped.
Alex put down the work at hand, stood up, and walked back and forth in the office with the phone in hand, "Relax, honey, relax, how did you know that she was kidnapped?"
"Letter, there is a letter!" his wife sobbed, and then there was a rush of sound coming from the receiver. Along with the sound of paper being folded and torn apart, his wife's voice rang out from the receiver, " The letter said..., we need to prepare 100,000 yuan in cash, and we must not call the police, otherwise they..." Some miserable cries made Alex upset. After a few instructions, he asked his secretary to put the money on his desk. The document was delivered to the governor, then he picked up his coat and left the office.
He drove home first and saw the letter his wife was talking about. He had already learned about the contents of the letter on the phone. When he saw the letter, he noticed that all the words were cut from newspapers. It was pieced together and not handwritten, which meant that this was not the first time the other party had done this kind of thing and he had considerable experience.
He called Ed directly and told Ed about it, hoping to borrow some soldiers from Ed to help him retrieve his daughter, and at the same time give those who kidnapped his daughter a "lesson."
After Ed knew about this, he immediately mobilized a team of manpower and brought the people over personally.
"What's going on? How could someone be kidnapped?" Ed glanced at the blackmail letter on the table, read it once and threw it away. He was not a great detective, so he definitely couldn't see any doubts in this letter. He just wanted to know what to do next.
"Wait!" Alex crossed his arms and sat in front of the phone. The letter did not mention the place and time to pay the money, so the other party would definitely find a way to notify him, and the best way would be a phone call. No contact is required and there are no witnesses, any phone booth can do it.
"And..." He looked at his wife, "Take two soldiers and go to the school with your daughter's photo and ask if anyone saw where she went and who she left with. Ask her clearly. Maybe we can find her kidnapper."
While wiping tears, his wife returned to the room and took a recently taken photo. She got into the car brought by Ed and quickly went to the school to look for clues.
Ed closed the door and sat next to Alex, putting a hand on his shoulder and squeezing slightly, "What are you going to do?"
"Find them!" Alex's eyes flashed with a fierce luster at this moment, "Then kill them!"
Time became slow and torturous at this moment. By about seven o'clock in the evening, Alex's wife came back. She asked people near the school and her classmates, and they all said they saw her sitting on a bed in front of the school. It was a very majestic car, and no one saw what the driver looked like. This was the last impression everyone had of her.
Alex asked a little irritably: "Where is the license plate number? Does anyone remember the license plate number?"
His wife was stunned, stood up and walked out the door. Alex stopped her, "No need to go, even if someone remembers the license plate number, it may not be true. The other party must have premeditated the kidnapping." We won’t leave such obvious loopholes. We’ll wait for the other party to contact us.”
At about 8:30 in the evening, the phone rang suddenly, and everyone at the table suddenly became alert. Alex made a gesture to silence the sound, then took a deep breath and picked up the phone. , "I'm Alex."
The voice in the receiver sounded like it was coming out of a sheepskin bag. It was obvious that the other party had used some means to make his voice lose its original flavor, "Mr. Alex, I heard that you made a lot of money recently, which is exactly what happened. I also need money. But we don’t know each other, and you won’t necessarily give it if I ask for it, so I have to use other methods.”
"Don't talk nonsense. I have prepared the money. Where is my daughter?"
"Your daughter is indeed very cute. She has never cried until now. Of course she is very good. Do you want to hear her voice?" Alex immediately confirmed the request, but the kidnapper seemed to be joking with him. , "I was just kidding, you can't do anything until you see the money."
"Damn..., how can I give you the money? You name a place!"
"Mr. Alex, then I will trouble you next. Before nine o'clock in the evening, John's road will not come to an end. We will wait for you at John's farm! I hope you can be on time and bring what I want. "
The call was hung up immediately. Alex pursed his lips and looked at Ed. Ed immediately took the people to set off first. He was a little lucky that John's farm was on the outskirts of the city and was sparsely populated. Even if there was a gunfight, It won't attract anyone.
There is actually a little joke here. Mr. John was the farmer of John’s farm. Of course he has passed away. He was a wealthy farmer who liked to show off. In the past, he planned to make the city better by donating money to build roads. Leaving his name behind, the nobles at the time agreed to his request. The road was quickly built, but when the noble announced the name of the road, John was almost stunned.
It was the road the kidnapper mentioned on the phone just now—not John's road.
In fact, if Mr. John knew in the Kingdom of Heaven that after so many things in this world, his "path that is not John" still exists, and that the story of him and the nobles has been circulating, maybe he would be satisfied, at least in this world. People in the city will remember him and his story. When children ask about the origin of this road out of curiosity, his name and story will continue to be passed down.
After everyone left the villa, only the servant's room was still lit, without any life in it.
In a villa across the road from the community, Du Lin lowered the curtains. He sat on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth. He glanced at Du Fu and the five fellow branch presidents who were looking at the tape, and couldn't help but complain. He said, "You have watched this thing three times. This is the fourth time. What is there to see?"
Dufo looked at it and thought about this question seriously, "I think it looks pretty good."
Dulin nodded, "You win, I'll go see our princess."
In fact, they were only separated by a community road from Alex's house, which was less than twenty meters in total. But these twenty meters are definitely a chasm for Alex and his people.
Du Lin pushed open the door of the innermost guest room on the second floor. A girl was tightly tied to a chair. Her eyes with fluttering long eyelashes looked at Du Lin, but there was not much fear.
"Is my father coming?", she asked.
Dulin shook his head, "I'm sorry, they left."
There was a look of disappointment on the girl's face, and she sighed softly, "Actually, if you have any requirements, you don't have to use such extreme measures. There will always be a solution, right?"
Du Lin thought for a while and couldn't help laughing, "You have a very good teacher and a wide range of knowledge, but you definitely don't know that it is difficult to combine theory and reality. The solution? Do you think we can Is there any other solution to my request? Just ask your father for a loan? Will he give it to us? Well, girl, be smart and don’t shout, then you can go home safely.”
Du Lin smiled and closed the door, then opened the next room. The owner's family of four were tied up like hams and placed neatly on the bed. Their mouths were all gagged, because they were not even smart enough. nothing.
After confirming again that the ropes of these people were not loose and that there was nothing around to help them escape, Dulin said good night and turned off the lights in the room.
He just borrowed this house for a while, and when the matter is over, he will leave quietly without hurting these people.
Kidnapping Alex's daughter is the only way to get Ed out of the army base. If this were not the case, if Ed did not come out of the military base, Dulin would not be able to send him to see his father. . Fortunately, this guy still has a very brotherly relationship with Alex. Not only did he come out, he also brought some people with him.
Tonight is destined to be a fruitless day.
Ed and Alex turned John's farm upside down but failed to find his daughter and the kidnappers. They immediately realized that they had been deceived. When they came back, it was already late at night. Under the combination of sleepiness, they quickly I soon entered the dream.
Until there was some burnt smell that woke them up.
