Chapter 536 Hostages

Lucun Park.

Since the beginning of the new year, the park’s own parking lot has never been full.

Today there are lots of cars parked here and there.

When Jiang Yuan and others got out of the car, they heard that the Fourth Criminal Police Brigade had already gone up, so they could only wait for the results on the spot.

The area he marked out, whether it was the place where the body was buried or the place where the murderer was hiding, had to be searched by the criminal police before it was suitable for inspection.

Mu Zhiyang waved his shield and followed Jiang Yuan closely. For him, this was already a scene.

"How is the front line? Is there any reward?" Cui Xiaohu asked Xu Tian.

"There is no news at the moment. I am not sure what the situation is." Xu Tian paused and then said: "The captain of the Fourth Brigade, Pang Jidong, is very experienced. The Fourth Brigade is also the elite force of our criminal police detachment. Now a commando team has been organized."

Huang Qiangmin, who was next to him, moved his lips but wisely did not express an opinion.

Police in different places have different handling plans, and he cannot apply the experience of Ningtai County to Luojin City.

Cui Xiaohu asked: "Are you there? Did you see any exposed land... or earthen bags or anything like that?"

"Not yet." Xu Tian knew what Cui Xiaohu meant. He was worried that this place would be the burial ground for the victim.

The volume of a normal person is about 0.6 cubic meters. When two elementary school students are added together, it can be seen that the volume is about the same as that of an adult.

Therefore, burying two primary school students in the soil means that there will be at least 60 liters of extra soil on the ground.

Soil is much heavier than water. One liter of soil weighs about 5 kilograms. Therefore, 60 liters of soil is equivalent to 300 kilograms. It is difficult to transport it at once, and it is not easy to transport it in batches. —This is also the reason why many people bury their wives in their own yards, especially after burying their husbands, they always leave a small dirt bag behind. It's not that they are stupid and don't know how to cover it up, but it takes a lot of time and effort to transport these things.

Logically speaking, if the three kidnappers choose to bury the body under the current circumstances, there is a high probability that they will not handle it so complicatedly. Because they don't have the need to bury the body for a long time.

Cui Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It would be best if we don't bury the body."

Xu Tian said, "They may have transported the soil to the flower beds, or scattered the bushes. There are also water wells and other places in the park..."

Only then did Cui Xiaohu realize that he had thought simply, and his face couldn't help but become more serious.

"Bureau Xu, Pang Jidong requested that the commando team be sent up first." The detachment leader came over with a walkie-talkie.

Xu Tian said: "You are the frontline commander, you can just give the command."

"Then I'll let the commando team go up." The detachment leader said, standing next to Xu Tian, ​​pressing the intercom and saying: "Old Pang, the commando team goes up, pay attention to safety and pay attention to cover."

"Commando team up. Received. I will provide follow-up reinforcements. Safe." Pang Jidong replied quickly.

As the provincial capital city, Luojin City has a very good criminal police team.

In fact, in recent years, government departments at the provincial capital level have been overflowing with demand for personnel replacement. It can be said that except for the dozen or so schools in the TOP3, graduates from other schools have to work hard to get in. And the talents who can break through thousands of troops are countless for their ability and appropriateness in doing things.

The assault team selected by Pang Jidong consisted of six people, two experienced old criminal policemen, and four young guys who had joined the team in recent years.

Pang Jidong asked all six people to be equipped with guns and head to the destination in advance, with the intention of making a surprise attack.

As for the remaining dozen or so people, he no longer focused on the front. Some of them went to the back to block the opening, and some of them chased behind the six people to reinforce them.

Normally speaking, to arrest three violent criminals, sending six people is definitely too few. Even if they all carry guns, it will only make people more worried.

But Pang Jidong still made such a choice.

A six-man raid is dangerous, but if it succeeds, the benefits will be huge.

Otherwise, it would be safe if more than 20 people swarmed up, but the kidnappers were holding two primary school students, the case was still in a state of inexhaustible, and the follow-up was still complicated.

However, Pang Jidong also has confidence in his men. In particular, there are several young people who have excellent physical fitness and have been practicing grappling for several years. They can fight one-on-one with bare hands without any problem. When holding a gun, their combat effectiveness is guaranteed.

The six-man team cautiously approached the target plot.

At the same time, nearby police officers also evacuated the few tourists in the park.

Reports from the front line were constantly coming from the detachment leader's walkie-talkie.

"There's a power substation on the left."

"Can you see the bushes clearly?"

"You can see clearly, you can't hide anyone."

"There is a path at the back that leads into the trees."

"Someone has been sent over."

The detachment leader and Xu Tian behind him listened without saying a word. Cui Xiaohu, Huang Qiangmin, Jiang Yuan and others were not qualified to overstep their authority.

In fact, if Jiang Yuan had not decided to come to the scene, Xu Tian and others would not have felt nervous or anxious because of this. Because they are not sure whether this is the criminal's hiding place, burial place, or other clues.

However, Jiang Yuan's attitude, especially his decision to come to the scene, made Xu Tian and others feel a sense of urgency.

Hiss...

The detachment leader's intercom rang, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"There is no one near the plot. There is a manhole cover. We are going to open the manhole cover..." The policeman on the intercom gasped.

Even for the veteran detective, this was a very stressful time, let alone the six members of the commando team.

At this time, Cui Xiaohu on the other end of the intercom even held his breath unconsciously.

"The hostage was found. The hostage was found underground. The hostage was intact, no, in good health... No robbers were found. I repeat, no robbers were found!"

The voice coming from the intercom was tense and exciting.

The detachment leader could no longer keep silent. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Pay attention to safety, protect the hostages, the fourth team is entering..."

After saying that, the detachment leader looked at Xu Tian and said: "Bureau Xu..."

"Let's go there too." Xu Tian waved his hand and walked forward.

Everyone then moved forward collectively.

When they arrived at the target plot, they saw two primary school students sitting on a bench by the roadside crying, but they could not cry loudly and there were almost no tears left.

The clothes of both of them were dirty, and bruises from binding could be seen on their wrists. Their faces were also dirty and bruised. Fortunately, their limbs and facial features were intact, and there were no signs of excessive blood loss.

Looking at the grass in front, a manhole cover has been pried open among the matted weeds. Someone has gone down to check, and a dozen other police officers have spread around to look for similar situations.

Pang Jidong trotted over, saluted and said: "It is a dry well. The passage below has been blocked. There is no place to go. There are only two hostages underground, tied up and their mouths are gagged. Our team members asked , they were hoisted in from above, and they don’t know how long they stayed there.”

"Okay! Okay!" Xu Tian nodded repeatedly. Although there are still many questions that remain unresolved, finding the hostage is a huge achievement, which is equivalent to solving the case 80%.

As for the rest, arresting the three kidnappers, he didn't think it was too difficult. He even thought about it a little bit, so what if he couldn't be caught in the short term!

"Send the child to the hospital and keep it confidential. Also inform the combatants to keep it confidential." Deputy Director Xu suddenly regretted it at this time. If he had known that Jiang Yuanduan was so accurate, he should have arranged these things in advance.

Xu Tian thought of this and looked at Jiang Yuan again. He couldn't help but smile and said with emotion: "To be honest, I am shallow. Ningtai Jiang Yuan is really well-deserved. It is unimaginable and unimaginable!"

"It's good that we found the hostages." Jiang Yuan has solved many cases, but rescuing hostages is still very rare. Especially the two primary school students cried so hard that it was quite heartwarming.

"I think the kidnappers put the two hostages here to prepare for their escape." The detachment leader became calmer, analyzed the situation, and said: "It is very likely that the kidnappers will use this dry well after the ransom is successfully demanded next time. Tell us the location. In this way, we will find the hostages and we will not pursue them closely. If we are caught, the sentence will not be too harsh."

"Then if I were a kidnapper, I would separate the two children." Li Haochen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "It shouldn't be too difficult to find two dry wells. In this way, whether it is a family Whether the ransom is paid or a child is used to prove it, it will be more flexible. After all, for the kidnappers, the next focus is how to ask for the ransom a second time."

Several people couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The detachment leader said slowly: "We have been asking to talk to the hostages in recent days. Maybe it is for this reason that they forced them to put the two hostages together."

"Even if this place is very remote and they frequently enter the park, it is becoming more and more dangerous for the three of them." Li Haochen paused and said: "And if I were a kidnapper, I would never move the hostages again after the kidnapping. ,unless……"

"Unless what?" The detachment leader did not follow Li Haochen's train of thought this time.

"Unless I live nearby, I can freely enter and leave here during non-opening hours, and I guarantee that I will not be photographed by surveillance cameras or caught by security guards..." Li Haochen closed his eyes and pondered: "If it were me If you have to wait for the ransom, you can really choose a place where there are few people and you are familiar with it, which is a very good choice."

Li Haochen looked around: "There are many road networks near the park, and there are many small roads to choose from. It is very convenient to escape. I don't leave the city directly. I am mainly worried that I will not be able to escape that far after the kidnapping. You can advance, retreat or defend here." Well, even if the policeman smells it, he can still hide it in the park..."

"I'll send someone over." The detachment leader looked at Li Haochen and nodded heavily at the same time.
