After Mr. Mo hung up the phone with Qiu Yifan, he called Wen Xinya in panic. The cold and direct prompt tone on the phone made his heart drop to freezing point in an instant.
He quickly called Lao Zhang, He Ma and Jiang Ma over: "Xinya's friend called just now and said that Xinya is missing."
Zhang Bo was shocked: "What, the young lady is missing?"
He Ma and Jiang Ma were also extremely nervous. He Ma trembled and said, "How could the young lady disappear for no reason? Master, did you make a mistake?"
Mr. Mo asked quickly, "Have you ever heard her say before whether she had other important things to do?"
Uncle Zhang, Aunt He, and Aunt Jiang all shook their heads. "No, before the young lady left, she specifically asked me to prepare five-seed nourishing heart porridge for you in the evening. Aunt Jiang was also there. The young lady didn't say anything else."
Mr. Mo's heart tightened all of a sudden: "Where did she go? I can't get through on the phone, and I can't contact her. What should I do?"
He Ma and Jiang Ma were already at a loss: "Master, please try calling the young lady again. Maybe the line was just busy before."
It was as if a ray of light suddenly shone into Mr. Mo's heart. He quickly picked up his phone and called Wen Xinya again, but the phone was still ringing with the cold and ruthless tone.
Mr. Mo seemed to have thought of something and called the security room anxiously: "This is Mo Xianqi. I want to ask if you saw my granddaughter Wen Xinya go out before? Which direction did she go?"
When the security guard in the duty room heard that it was Mo Xianqi from Villa No. 5, he immediately stood in awe and said, "Hello, Mr. Mo. At about 5:30, I saw Miss Wen leave the villa, then she hailed a taxi and got in. The car was heading towards the South District."
Mr. Mo immediately figured out what was going on: "This is a villa area. Almost every household has more than one car. On weekdays, there are very few taxis coming to pick up passengers. How come I happened to run into a taxi right when I left the house?"
Hearing him say this, the security guard on duty also felt something was a little strange. On weekdays, they rarely encountered a taxi during their ten-day or half-month shifts. "I thought Miss Wen had specially called over to wait for it. Now that you mention it, I remember that I heard my colleagues on duty say that taxis seemed to appear frequently in the villa area recently. Since it was during different duty hours, I didn't pay much attention to it."
The security guard's words struck Mr. Mo as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue: "Did you see the license plate number of the car Xinya was riding in?"
He had a hunch that there were frequent taxis in the villa area recently. This was not a coincidence but a premeditated plan.
When something like this happens, some of the villa area security is also responsible, and the security guard on duty dare not be careless: "I didn't notice it, but there is a video at the door. I will send the video to you right away."
Mr. Mo said anxiously: "Bring all the videos from the past few days."
The security guard on duty said, "Okay, Mr. Mo, don't worry. I'll call other security guards on duty to see if they know anything."
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Mo paced back and forth in the living room with an anxious look on his face.
Uncle Zhang asked quickly, "What did the security guard say?"
When Mr. Mo told Uncle Zhang about the situation, Uncle Zhang's face immediately turned pale: "Why would a taxi run to the villa area to pick up passengers? Was all this premeditated?"
Mother He said immediately, "Don't talk nonsense. The matter has not been clarified yet. Xinya has not been contacted for an hour. Maybe her phone is broken, or there was a traffic accident on the road, so there was a traffic jam."
Mother Jiang was not so optimistic. She kept muttering, "What should I do? Amitabha, the gods and Buddhas in heaven, please protect the young lady and keep her safe."
Zhang Bo felt extremely uneasy and blamed himself, "It's all my fault that my old bones are useless, otherwise the young lady wouldn't have gone out to take a taxi. The young lady is so young, it's not safe to go out at night, I should have insisted on sending her."
At this time, Qiu Yifan and a few others hurried over. Just when they were on the road, Cheng Ziyi had called them and said that there would be no traffic or other accidents in the South District between 5:30 and 6:30.
"Mr. Mo, what happened?" Qiu Yifan asked worriedly.
"I guess Xinya's disappearance is most likely a premeditated kidnapping." Mr. Mo was worried.
"What?" Ouyang Feng and Yan Shaoqing were shocked.
Qiu Yifan's face didn't look very good either.
After a while, the captain of the security room sent the video with a serious face: "Mr. Mo, I have contacted several other security guards on duty and learned about the situation. Recently, it is confirmed that there is a taxi that often appears in the villa area. Our security room learned that the residents of Villa No. 8 often called a taxi because their car broke down, so they didn't pay much attention to it. I just collected the information of several people and can basically confirm that it is the same car."
The same car, but these four words reveal a sense of weirdness no matter how you look at it. Because the security room works in three shifts, and taxis appear at different times, no one will care.
Mr. Mo's expression became more and more solemn. He picked up the video recorded by the security guard and played it on the computer. When the time fast-forwarded to 5:32, Xinya left the villa area. At this time, a Beijing Hyundai taxi drove over. She waved and the taxi stopped beside her.
"Enlarge the taxi license plate number." Mr. Mo quickly instructed Ouyang Feng.
Ouyang Feng tapped twice on the keyboard, and Mr. Mo quickly wrote down the license plate number: "Enlarge the driver's face!"
Ouyang Feng gave a close-up of the driver's face.
"Take a screenshot of the picture!"
Then a few people watched the videos of the past few days and found that the same car was seen in the villa area during different security guard duty periods. At this point, Mr. Mo had reason to believe that all this was premeditated.
Mr. Mo quickly called the chief of the South District Police Station and sent him his guess as well as the previous video and license plate number. The police station soon received news that the taxi was parked at the big bend of Liulin Road. A passing driver noticed a lot of blood on the taxi, so he reported the case. The nearby traffic police arrived at the first time and found a large amount of drugs in the taxi, as well as signs of fierce fighting. Currently, the police have been sent to collect evidence, and it is still unclear whether Wen Xinya is alive or dead.
After analysis by the police, it was basically confirmed that this was a premeditated kidnapping. A case was immediately filed at the police station, and a team specializing in kidnapping and extortion cases was sent to collect evidence and investigate.
After hearing the news from the police, Mr. Mo felt his blood rushing backwards, his whole body became extremely cold, his chest ached, and he staggered and could hardly stand: "Uncle Zhang, call the Wen family immediately!"
The Wen family is in business and has extensive connections, so perhaps there is a way.
