"Can you see other physical characteristics of the kidnapper from the footprints?" Zeng Ping asked.
"Wearing big shoes on small feet will have some impact on the judgment of footprints, and it will take time to study carefully."
"In other words, we only know the height, age and gender of the suspect, and we can't confirm it for the time being?"
"Give me some time, I should be able to rule out the influence of small feet wearing big shoes and get more clues."
Han Bin's footprint identification skills are only advanced. If he can reach the expert level, he may be able to analyze the kidnapper's physical characteristics on the spot, but he doesn't have that ability yet.
"According to the current clues, rearrange the mission." Zeng Ping ordered: "Tian Li, check the surveillance around the community and set the kidnapper's height at around 160."
"Li Hui, visit the surrounding people to see if there are similar kidnappers."
"Zhao Ming, please contact the victim Cao Tianyou's classmate and see if there is anything unusual about Cao Tianyou two days ago."
"Han Bin, you continue to study the footprints."
"yes."
Everyone promised to act separately.
"Om..." Just then, the phone rang.
Cao Hua, the victim's father, showed a panicked look: "Captain Zeng, did the kidnapper send a text message?"
"say what?"
'At eight o'clock in the evening, ask the child's mother to come and redeem him with 200,000 yuan. Don't call the police, otherwise, don't even think about seeing the child again. '
"Call and hear the voice of the child."
Cao Hua hurriedly called, but received a notification that the phone was turned off.
Zeng Ping turned his head and looked at the technical team aside: "Can you confirm the location of the message?"
"It will take some time."
"Team Zeng, I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower."
The footprints have been collected, and Han Bin is going to take them back to the bureau for research.
"Or, ask the local police station to send a few police officers to support it." Tian Li suggested.
Zeng Ping hesitated for a moment: "This is a kidnapping case. The police are too conspicuous. Let's find a group of people."
The second group of the third criminal investigation team was established not long ago, and the number of people is also small, far inferior to the first group of the third criminal investigation team.
"You guys, follow my previous instructions to investigate, and come back to report the situation at five o'clock in the afternoon."
"yes."
Everyone split up.
…
Half an hour later, Zhao Ying, the team leader of the third criminal investigation team, came to the scene with three team members.
"Captain Zhao, you're here." Zeng Ping stood up to greet him.
Zhao Ying, with short hair and capable demeanor, glanced at the room: "Old Zeng, where are the people in your group?"
"I'm going to check for clues. If it weren't for the lack of manpower, I wouldn't have sent a team to support it." Zeng Ping said helplessly.
"Does the kidnapper have any clues?"
Zeng Ping briefly described the situation.
Zhao Ying pondered for a moment: "Have you confirmed the location of the kidnapper's text message?"
"It was sent from a base station near the suburbs." The technical team said humanely.
"There is little surveillance in the suburbs, and there is little hope of finding out." Zeng Ping said.
"Let's send someone there." Zhao Ying ordered two people and asked them to ask the technical team for the specific location to investigate.
"Mr. Cao, hasn't the child's mother come yet?"
"I divorced the child's mother, and she went out of town."
"Can we come back at night? The robbers specified that the mother of the child should be given money to redeem him," Zeng Ping said.
"I'm looking for my former relatives and friends to contact, but there is no news yet."
"Is there a problem with the two hundred thousand yuan?" Zhao Ying asked.
Cao Hua said without hesitation: "This is not a big problem. Even if I borrow it, I will definitely be able to get it together."
"Then you find a way to raise money, the rest, we police will handle."
…
Five p.m.
Li Hui, Han Bin, Tian Li, Zhao Ming and others returned to the Huacui community one after another.
"There are still three hours, and it's time to pay the ransom. Let's hold a summary meeting to see if there are any new clues." Zeng Ping greeted everyone.
"The surveillance nearby did not find any traces of the kidnappers or Cao Tianyou," Tian Li said.
"The people around them didn't notice anything unusual," Li Hui said.
"I sent people to the suburbs. There was no surveillance near the base station, and there was no trace of the suspect," Zhao Ying said.
"I visited some of Cao Tianyou's classmates. According to a good classmate, Cao Tianyou said that he was going to see his mother soon when he went to school two days ago. I suspect that this kidnapping case may be related." Zhao Ming said.
Zeng Ping stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Ming: "This clue is very important. The kidnapper is 160cm tall, so he doesn't have much advantage in size, so he is more likely to be abducted."
"That is to say, the kidnappers may take advantage of the child's desire to see his mother to plan this kidnapping case." Zhao Ying analyzed.
"The problem now is, who will deliver the ransom tonight if the child's mother can't come back in time," Tian Li said.
"I'll go." Zhao Ying volunteered.
"you go?"
"Besides me, is there a more suitable candidate?"
Zhao Ying is in her thirties, in line with the age of a mother, and she is calm and experienced, so she is indeed a good candidate.
Zeng Ping always felt that there was one person missing, and when he turned his head, Han Bin was squatting next to the shoe cabinet, wondering what he was studying.
"Han Bin."
"Captain Zeng, you call me."
"Everyone is discussing the case, what are you doing there?"
"Team Zeng, I found something here."
Zeng Ping waved: "Come and talk."
Han Bin came over and sat on the sofa beside him: "I don't suggest that, Team Zhao go send the ransom."
Zhao Ying frowned: "Why?"
"If Team Zhao goes, he will definitely be recognized as a fake." Han Bin said in a firm tone.
"This is unlikely. After I divorced Cao Tianyou's mother, his mother never came here, and there are no photos at home." Cao Hua said.
"I went back to the bureau and studied all afternoon, ruled out the interference of small feet wearing big shoes, and determined the sex of the kidnapper. It should be a male, to be precise, a boy, around the age of thirteen or fourteen."
Zhao Ying showed a questioning look: "This is unlikely."
"After I came, I went to the shoe cabinet to find Cao Tianyou's old shoes, compared the wear and tear marks, and found that they were surprisingly consistent with the footprints of small feet wearing big shoes."
"You mean, it was Cao Tianyou who wore big shoes and faked the kidnapping scene!" Zeng Ping said in surprise.
"No way." Cao Hua was even more shocked.
"Then is this still kidnapping?" Tian Li asked.
"Cao Tianyou wrote and directed it himself, so the so-called kidnapping is not true?" Li Hui said.
"I can only be sure that the one with small feet wearing big shoes is Cao Tianyou. As for whether he was lured or abducted, I'm not sure yet," Han Bin said.
Everyone was silent. The clues Han Bin put forward were too important.
"No wonder, we have been investigating for a long time, but there is no clue of the kidnappers. It turns out that the kidnappers have never been to Huacui Community." Tian Li suddenly realized.
"Impossible, my son has always been very obedient, why did he do this?" Cao Hua couldn't believe it.
Zeng Ping paced and analyzed: "According to the clues provided by my classmates, Cao Tianyou did say that she is going to see her mother."
"Could it be that Cao Tianyou has never seen his mother and missed her mother so much that he wrote and directed this kidnapping?" Zhao Ying said.
"This should also be proved, why the message sent specified that Cao Tianyou's mother should pay the ransom." Han Bin said.
"Om..."
"The kidnapper sent another message."
Topped the list on Monday.
