Ten o'clock at night.
It's not easy to be the CEO of a large listed company with assets over 100 million. Lin Youyuan was still arguing with representatives of foreign companies in the conference room over a project worth tens of millions.
You come and go, fighting with each other, it's so lively.
The other party has been in China for more than half a month. Jingtai is responsible for all the food, drink, and mess. He often eats five-star hotels, high-end sushi, and takes a bath and plays golf if he has nothing to do. The whole Jingtai is doing their best.
Unexpectedly, the other party refused to give up even 0.1% of the profit, and asked them to prepay the initial capital.
Lin Youyuan frowned, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and suppressed the anger by the way.
At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door and hurried in: "Boss Lin..."
He raised his eyebrows and suppressed his anger: "What's the matter?"
The secretary looked at the other people who stopped the discussion, leaned down, lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "Miss, she..."
He sat alone in the main seat, and the other employees sat far away.
The secretary opened the tablet and handed it to him: "It was sent to your mailbox five minutes ago."
The picture was completely silent, and Lin Yan was tied up by his limbs with iron chains like a dead dog and hung in mid-air, even with a thumb-thick chain around his neck, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in blood.
Lin Youyuan popped out a few words from between his teeth: "No, use, yes, east, west."
"Boss Lin, what should we do now?" The secretary swallowed, with a look of panic on his face.
Lin Youyuan took a sip from his teacup, closed the tablet and handed it to him as if reading an ordinary report.
"What to do, don't say a hundred million, not a dime."
Obviously, some of the foreign company representatives could speak Chinese. After understanding this sentence, they became a little restless. This caught Lin Youyuan's mind. He waved his hand to signal the secretary to leave and continue to discuss business.
The secretary walked out of the door, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he turned around, watching the time go by every minute and every second, and it was less than two hours before the time set by the kidnappers to pay the ransom.
He gritted his teeth, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and called the police: "Hello, Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau? I'm reporting to Jingtai Group..."
＊＊＊
Since the start of the operation, Feng Jianguo has been standing in front of the big screen in the training room for a whole day without eating or drinking.
Seeing that they had reached the downstairs of the hospital, Song Yuhang pressed the intercom: "Group one, group two, group three, guard the stairs and be ready for fire support at any time."
"Snipers occupy the commanding heights."
A head popped out of the console on the opposite beach playground: "The sniper is in place."
"Four groups, five groups, six groups, advance alternately, and search for tactical formations with me."
Several special police officers with explosion-proof shields rushed up. Song Yuhang held his gun and leaned against the wall, his hair under the helmet was all wet.
A group of people walked quietly against the base of the wall.
The peripheral drones transmitted real-time images back to the city bureau, and Feng Jianguo also sweated for them.
"Feng Bureau, it's not good!" Someone rushed in and shouted.
Without looking back, he subconsciously yelled: "Who the hell is wrong?! Will you say auspicious words at the critical moment of action now!"
The little police officer rushed in with the computer in his arms, in such a panic that he forgot to respect: "No...not... Lin... Lin's forensic doctor is not good!!!"
As soon as Duan Cheng poured tea for Feng Jianguo and came in, he saw him push the computer in front of him, swallowed, and said, "Jingtai Group just came to report the case, and forensic doctor Lin was kidnapped and disappeared and asked for a high ransom. This is the video sent by the kidnappers." .”
The screen was clicked on, and everyone in the training room stopped what they were doing at the same time.
It was impossible to tell where it was from the background alone, and Lin Yan didn't say a word, not because she didn't want to say it, but because she couldn't say it at all.
An iron chain as thick as a thumb was wrapped around his neck, his head was hanging in the air, and a knife was stuck on his shoulder. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Judging from this scene alone, even an old criminal policeman like Feng Jianguo with decades of investigation experience couldn't see any clues.
At the end of the email, the ransom demanded by the kidnappers was 100 million, 100 million!
Feng Jianguo paced back and forth, furrowing his brows fiercely, then turned around abruptly, grabbed the teacup in Duan Cheng's hand and dropped it to the ground.
The tea was splashed, broken porcelain was everywhere, and no one else dared to make a sound.
Feng Jianguo panted heavily: "Fucking really picks the time, why don't you go and rob the bank if you pay back 100 million?!"
At a critical moment in the arrest operation, almost all the active police forces in Jiangcheng City are on the front line, let alone a criminal police team, he can't even gather a field team now!
Zhang Jinhai looked at this video, and it took him a long time to find his vocal cords, and stammered: "Should...or should I tell Team Song...and let her send some people back."
Feng Jianguo paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and categorically rejected his suggestion: "No, we can't distract her. It's not yet confirmed that the two cases are related. Lin Yan's life is her life, and so is others'. We can't take this risk. .”
That is to say, Lin Youyuan is over sixty years old this year, regardless of how well he married, it is impossible for him to have children without accidents.
Lin Yan, as the only heir of the Lin family, is also the CEO of Jingtai Future. Her life is worth a lot, otherwise the secretary would not rush to report the crime.
"Have people from Jingtai come?"
"Here we are, waiting in the reception room."
"Block the news first. This matter cannot be revealed. The technicians will immediately analyze the video location and the other party's server. It must be fast!"
After all, ginger is still old and spicy.
Feng Jianguo put on a wide-brimmed hat and strode out: "Just come, I'll ask in person."
After Feng Jianguo left, Duan Cheng went to Zheng Chengrui's side: "Old Zheng...Forensic Lin...she...she..."
Zheng Chengrui tapped on the keyboard, his brow sweating: "I can't decode it. The background is the warehouse of the warehouse. There is no reference at all. There must be hundreds of warehouses like this in Jiangcheng City."
Duan Cheng was also in a hurry, walked up and down, and suddenly leaned on his shoulder: "Why don't you tell Team Song, I think she will find a way."
Zheng Chengrui glanced at him, pushed him down, and lowered his voice: "Are you crazy? Do you still want to take the civil service exam? Didn't you hear what Bureau Feng said? You can't reveal a single word."
Duan Cheng choked for a moment: "I..."
"But... but..." He was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Although Forensic Lin is a cheap, vicious and violent person, but we work together, and I can learn a lot every time I watch her autopsy , is it just watching her miss the time to pay the ransom and die in vain
This Lin family is also really, sitting on billions of dollars in wealth, but even a mere 100 million is reluctant to give it away.
Duan Cheng was anxious here, but Feng Jianguo knew that this was not the first time for the Lin family.
As soon as he entered the reception room and saw that it was the secretary instead of Lin Youyuan himself, his heart skipped a beat.
"Please sit down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary stood up abruptly, and before he could speak, he spoke a long series of eloquent words.
"Hi Feng Bureau, I am the secretary-general of Director Lin, and I am here to handle this matter on behalf of Jingtai Group. We really can't afford the 100 million yuan. We just completed the second round of financing this year..."
He had heard this speech many years ago.
The person who was furious in the training room maintained the majesty that a city-level public security chief should have when facing outsiders.
Feng Jianguo didn't bother with him: "The kidnapper sent an email at 9:30, and you reported the case at 10:10? There is less than an hour and a half left before the ransom exchange. Where do you want me to find someone for you?"
The secretary kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief: "Ashamed, ashamed, Director Lin is in a meeting, really, really... I can only ask the police comrades, the police comrades."
Before he finished speaking, the computer screen of the technician next to him lit up.
"Boss Feng, the kidnappers have sent another message."
Lin Youyuan watched Lin Yan being tortured in the picture, being dragged by her hair and forced into the water, she struggled desperately, the iron chains rattled on the ground, and the wound on her shoulder began to ooze blood again. The originally clear water was dyed light red.
She gritted her teeth and said nothing, and was pulled by her hair again, and the opponent grabbed a white powder from the side and sprinkled it on her wound.
The secretary covered her eyes, her heart skipped a beat: "This... what is this?"
Soon he will know.
The rough salt stone particles were deeply embedded in the flesh, and the blood melted. Lin was so tired of the pain that he couldn't bear it anymore, and let out a roar from the depths of his throat.
Lin Youyuan closed the computer, closed his eyes, and sat alone in the dark conference room, his brows twitching slightly.
"Fuck you!" The man also roared in his throat, his voice was hoarse and rough, and he slapped her across the face.
Lin Yan still didn't let go, biting his arm until he pushed her head against the wall, again and again, the sound of "bang bang bang" echoed in the warehouse.
A large bloodstain was left on the wall soon, and when Lin Yan fell down, he bit off a piece of flesh from his arm.
The man was in so much pain that he kicked her hard in the chest a few times. He dragged her hair and walked forward, leaving bloodstains everywhere he dragged.
＊＊＊
"Ten million, no more." He still called Feng Jianguo.
There was a moment of silence over there: "Aren't you afraid that the kidnappers will really tear up the ticket?"
"I'm afraid." Lin Youyuan said bluntly: "I'm even more afraid that people and money will be lost. I don't want to repeat what happened twenty-six years ago, so I can only give 10 million, and the rest depends on you."
Feng Jianguo rubbed the center of his brows, and stood by the window almost wanting to curse: "You businessmen always want to maximize profits and minimize risks. Don't forget how Lin Cheng died."
Lin Youyuan put on a half-smile: "If Lin Cheng is dead, there will be Lin Yan, and if Lin Yan is dead, there will be Lin Ge. If it doesn't matter, I can adopt anyone from the orphanage and the surname can be Lin, but there is only one Jingtai. If I give away the 100 million today, many subsidiaries will go bankrupt, tens of thousands of employees will be laid off, Lin Yan can die, and Jingtai must live."
Butterfly effect, Lin Yan is just a fuse. The second round of financing has just passed, but there is no response, and the economy is depressed, the market is cold, and the capital released will not be recovered for a while.
The 100 million is really traumatic, he can't take this risk and bet on Jingtai.
"Hurry up, hurry up, decipher the IP address, Old Zheng, Old Zheng!"
Duan Cheng almost cheered him on with a loudspeaker next to him.
Zheng Chengrui was already fat, and when he got angry, he was sweating profusely. His hands were so slippery that he couldn't even hold the mouse, and he failed to click several times.
He took a deep breath and started over.
Duan Cheng stared at the progress bar, and Fang Xin looked anxiously at the computer screen.
90%, 93%, 95%, 99%... 100%!
The group held their breath—
After a brief silence, a line of garbled characters floated on the screen.
Zheng Chengrui threw his glasses on the table and shook his head decadently: "No, the overseas server can't resolve it."
Duan Cheng slammed his fist on the table, his eyes were red: "Fuck! Then... what should I do now..."
Fang Xin let go of the fingers he was biting, and stood up abruptly: "We can't sit here and wait for death, we have to look for clues to see how Forensic Lin disappeared."
＊＊＊
"Om—" The phone that was attached to the meat vibrated, Song Yuhang ignored it, and took the lead to rush into an empty house. The laser beam from the muzzle penetrated layers of fog and fired back and forth.
She raised her hand: "Safe, no target found, retreat."
"Buzz—" the phone vibrated again.
Song Yuhang's heart tightened, thinking of the phone that Lin Yan had just hung up, he slowed down a bit, and signaled to the special police captain to lead the charge, put the gun on his back, and took out the phone from his trouser pocket.
Two videos.
She clicked on it, and suddenly went crazy, bit off the tactical gloves, and called Bureau Feng with one call.
The other party also yelled: "I'm so fucking desperate, you still come to question me?! Lin Yan is so big, who can stop her, who knows why she went!"
Song Yuhang lowered his voice, took a deep breath, and his heart was throbbing: "How long is it before the agreed time to pay the ransom?"
"One hour."
She couldn't help but growl: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?!!"
A group of people looked back at her one after another. Song Yuhang took off his helmet, took the goggles and night vision device, unplugged the communication microphone on his ear, turned around and ran down.
"Team Song, Team Song..." Others came to stop her, and Feng Jianguo yelled at her when he heard it.
"Song Yuhang, are you fucking promising?! Don't forget the military order you just issued with me! You have to take responsibility for protecting the entire Jiangcheng City, and now? You are going to be a deserter just because of Lin Yan Don’t forget, you are the highest commander on the scene, do you deserve your police rank?!”
Song Yuhang brushed up the broken hair on his forehead, turned around, took several deep breaths, and forced himself to calm down: "What about Lin Yan? Who will protect Lin Yan?! She is also in danger! "
Feng Jianguo paused for a moment before saying, "We are already on our way to exchange the ransom."
"How much does the kidnapper want?"
"One hundred million."
"What about the Lin family?"
"Only ten million."
Song Yuhang almost gritted his teeth: "Isn't this fucking nonsense?!"
"You always seem to be particularly prone to mood swings when you encounter Lin Yan. Song Yuhang, don't say I'm unreasonable. I won't give you a chance. You can come back and save her. The premise is that the suspect must be brought to justice. You can either take off your police uniform and come back to do what is right, you choose.”
After hanging up the phone, Song Yuhang was silent for a long time, and the others had already dispersed and continued to search the entire hospital. After all, human lives are at stake here.
She leaned her head against the cold wall and watched the two videos again. When Lin Yan distorted his face and howled because of the pain, she also burst into tears.
She knew why Lin Yan left the team privately. It must be because she found similar doubts to the Chunan case during the autopsy, and only this reason was enough for her to seek revenge on the murderer alone without notifying herself.
"Moby Dick Case" and "Fenyang Wharf Dismembered Corpse Case" have similarities, but also have many differences, but no matter whether the murderer is alone or not, Song Yuhang thinks, it cannot be separated from him.
The top priority is to find the murderer, and Lin Yan is not far away.
Chen Chunan is her weakness, so let her be her armor.
Song Yuhang wiped away tears, sniffed, put on the helmet, quickly fastened the buckle, picked up the gun and ran upstairs.
Lin Yan, wait for me.
＊＊＊
"There is still no one to rescue you." Blood flowed into the eyes, making the already blurred vision even more unclear.
The man who beat her disappeared, and she was suspended in the air again, only to hear a cold mechanical sound without emotion.
Lin Yan twitched the corner of his lips slightly, and smiled ironically.
But then, she stopped laughing.
"Come and hit me, bitch, idiot, idiot!" The familiar voice instantly brought her back to that afternoon twenty-six years ago. The boy kicked her on the ground, stepped on her chest, opened her fingers, took out the two yuan she was holding tightly in her hand, and tore it to pieces.
"Bah, the bastard also wants to take my dad's money, do you deserve it?! You're as cheap as your mother, get out!" The ten-year-old boy was as strong as a chubby little boy, and kicked her against the wall.
Lin Yan's head was on the ground, and when she woke up again, she was bound together with Lin Cheng, and the water from the ceiling hit her face drop by drop.
Before she could recover, the man wearing the mask whipped her hard.
"Cry, cry for me! The louder you cry, the better. Let your rich dad see how his two sons and daughters were tortured by me."
The whip hurt his body, Lin Cheng cried loudly, but Lin Yan was already used to it, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
"Yo, she's quite stubborn, but her little face is quite cute, it's the eyes..." The man raised her chin, looking around.
"It's so fierce."
After saying that, he whipped the corner of his eyes hard.
Lin Yan closed his eyes, trembling all over, tears flowed down unconsciously, but he still didn't howl.
The man became interested: "Don't be dumb."
The friend echoed: "It's good to be dumb, it's wonderful to be dumb, I can't speak anyway, so I just undressed to show his father, and let us see the difference between this rich family's daughter and us poor people."
There was a sound of tearing clothes.
Lin Yan's eyes were about to burst, the voice seemed to come from all directions, and returned to her ears pervasively through the echoes from the warehouse.
Her hands and feet were bound, her ears could not be blocked, her eyes were getting redder and redder, she roared, and the sentences she spoke were mixed with broken breath sounds.
"You... who are you? Get out... come out!"
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you are going to die, no one came to save you when you were young, and it's still the same when you grow up."
"Lin Yan, Lin Yan, what a pathetic life you are living."
The even and steady mechanical voice actually let out a sigh, which made people's hair stand on end for no reason.
Lin Yan was hung in the air, twisting his neck with difficulty, his whole body ached from being pulled, the blood from his head was continuously flowing down, and his eyes were irritatingly painful.
She pulled her arm, and the iron chain rattled, Lin Yan narrowed her eyes slightly: "It's not that easy to want me to die, I always rely on myself, never rely on others."
The voice "giggled" and laughed, as if talking against the root of the teeth, very much like the emotionless, pale voice made by the game NPC. For a while, Lin Yan couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, or if it wasn't human at all.
"Look at your current situation. This iron chain drops six centimeters every five minutes. After half an hour, if I don't see the ransom money at the appointed place, no one will come back to save you~"
As soon as "it" finished speaking, Lin Yan's iron chain was pulled down suddenly, and the feeling of weightlessness struck, Lin Yan slightly closed his eyes, but was pulled by an invisible force again.
The sea water was sparkling, and she was suspended above the transparent glass tank.
Lin Yan's pupils shrank, and the voice sounded again.
"Okay, our smart forensic doctor Lin will do the math for himself, how far away from the water, how long it will take to suffocate, and whether they will come~"
