Chapter 40 Humbert Humbert VII

The children in the car became a mess, some screaming "Teacher, drive quickly", and some crying "Mr. Hu". The gangster with the knife had bloodshot eyes and stabbed Hu Lingling in the abdomen. Hu Lingling has lived her whole life until now. Stable and stable, free from disasters and diseases, she never knew such pain existed in the world. Her hands and feet were out of strength, and her whole body instinctively curled up, just looking at the minibus parked beside her, hoping that the door would open. Take advantage of this moment to close and escape safely.

The key cha is automatic in the car without wind. The gangster seems to have forgotten to grab it. The driver holds the shifter in his hand and can close the door with just one button. He has a long driving experience and high driving skills. Away from the empty mountain road...

But no.

The driver, Han Jiang, looked terrified, but he just sat in the cab and didn't move, and yelled at the gangster, "Stop it!"

At this time, Hu Lingling was speechless, her eyes were red with anxiety, she desperately shook her head at Han Jiang, trying to tell him to leave her alone, and then she heard the next sentence from the honest and honest man: "It's not as long as it's agreed. Money, you fucking kill people, how will it end then!"

Hu Lingling finally realized something, and a bone-piercing coolness climbed up her back.

At this moment, no one noticed that the curtain in the corner moved slightly, and the girl in the floral skirt just now got into the curtain, and she took advantage of the car curtain to cover it and opened it. The window of the car, like a kitten with thin arms and legs, silently drilled through the window and jumped to the ground.

The gangster's murder attempt was interrupted by Han Jiang, who threw the knife to the driver in dissatisfaction, bent down and grabbed Hu Lingling's hair, punching and kicking her as if to relieve his hatred.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by this cruel scene. The girl's footsteps were also covered by the whistling wind and rain and the woman's screams. The night without stars and moon became her friend. The girl avoided the headlights and ignored it. ran out.

The roads in the mountains are rugged, there are no street signs, no lights, and no living creatures. The rocks and the trees with crooked necks are like monsters hidden in the dark. The girl can't tell the direction, and she doesn't dare to look back. She hears her own footsteps. Jumping in shock, I always felt that a monster with a knife was chasing him.

No one had taught her what to do when faced with such a situation in the wilderness, so she could only keep running—

Suddenly, a headlight flashed in front of the girl. She was terrified. At this moment, she was as frightened as a ghost. In a panic, the girl kicked a stone under her feet. She flew out sideways, and finally accidentally called out. Voice.

The sound of the brakes sounded from one side, the girl's ears roared, and her muscles froze.

At this time, she heard a very crisp and tender voice saying, "Dad, is it a small animal? Is it a sheep?"

This childish voice awakened the bizarre nightmare. The girl who escaped was so panicked that her heart jumped fiercely. She heard the rustling footsteps, opened her eyes, and saw a man coming to her with an umbrella. before.

He is gentle and clean, and he must not look like a bad person.

The girl cried and said, "Uncle help!"

Her little skirt covered with broken flowers was stained with mottled muddy water, her knees were torn apart, and the small toenails were lifted by the stones, and the blood was flowing. The man looked at her and hugged her very gently.

The girl's sturdy defenses were shattered in front of another child, and under the extreme fear, she irrationally trusted this stranger who appeared out of nowhere.

"A bad guy robbed our car, he had a knife, and he stabbed our teacher, right in front, uncle..."

The man walked very lightly, as if he was afraid of being disturbed, and raised an index finger on the hand holding the umbrella.

"Shh—" he said, "be good, don't be afraid, and let my daughter accompany you."

The girl followed his line of sight, and the half-rolled car window revealed the face of a young girl. She was about twelve or thirteen years old, with a pair of braids, plump cheeks, a pair of sly and beautiful eyes, and shiny lips. Cherry red, like secretly using an adult's lipstick.

Smile like a flower.

In the brightly lit SUV club, a large group of dudes held their mobile phones and began to inquire about the gossip.

"I'm not very familiar with this neighborhood," Fei Du stood in front of the map of Xiling District, turned around and asked the owner of the "Death Club", "Apart from here, are there any other villages or activity places nearby?"

"The planning of Xiling back then was the back garden of Yancheng, focusing on high-end leisure and entertainment," the boss said. "All that fell down were projects that took up space. Apart from us, there was also a winery with a golf course and an equestrian club nearby. All natural villages have been moved to the county seat to let them 'go upstairs' - but looking at the weather today, there may be no people on either side."

"Oh," Fei Du nodded, "if the police call in a while, let me pick it up."

The club owner had a question mark on his forehead: "Call? Why did the police call me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the phone at the front desk rang, and the girl who happened to be playing the piano next to him freed up a hand, picked up the phone, and put it lazily in his ear: "Hey, Xishan Cross Country Club... Boss, this person Say he's a policeman!"

The police acted very fast, and at this time they were already close to the location of the kidnappers.

From the satellite view, the place the kidnapper chose is very small, surrounded by open spaces. Once the SWAT team approaches, it is easy to be detected. There are curtains on the minibus, and the robbers are holding a group of children in their hands. On, as long as the curtains are closed, the snipers have nothing to do.

Time passed by, and the police tried to dial the phone number just now, but it showed that the phone was turned off. The robber had extremely strong control and had to contact him.

After ten o'clock in the night, the heavy rain finally subsided and calmed down. Tao Ran and the others rushed to the residence of Han Jiang, one of the suspects, overnight, and checked the person upside down.

"Han Jiang used to be a big seller, but he got caught in the problem of 'playing poker'. He lost hundreds of thousands a year. He also delayed his work because of playing poker. He was fired from the team and broke up with his wife. For a while, the trustee found a job in a car rental company and settled down for a few years. Later, for some reason, he played mahjong again. He was targeted by a gang of fraudulent gambling. Million-dollar usury."

"No wonder I have to take risks," Lang Qiao pressed on the earphone, "Where's the other person, do you have any clues? Apart from being a bad gambler, Han Jiang seems to have never even squatted in the 'little black house'. I don't necessarily dare to be so explosive as soon as I come up, the mastermind who planned this must have a criminal record."

"There is one," Tao Ran said, "I have sent you the photos. This person is Han Chengzheng, male, 29 years old, a distant relative of Han Jiang. He was imprisoned twice for armed robbery and intentional wounding. , just released recently, came to Yancheng to find a job, and often went to Hanjiang to eat and drink. This person said that he was looking for a job, but in fact, he has been idle since he came, conflicted with people several times, and often carried a machete around. Turn around, the surrounding neighbors are avoiding him - yesterday evening, Han Chengzheng went to rent a tattered car, set off early in the morning, I don't know where it went, it was probably the kidnapper."

"I don't know if it's the same odor or similarities," Luo Wenzhou's voice came from his earphones, "Has Han Jiang been married? Does he have any children? How old are the children, male or female?"

"The boy, nine years old, has moved to another place with the previous period. Because of Han Jiang's gambling addiction, his ex-wife does not let the children contact him. The car rental company has a long-term agreement with the Sixteen Middle School. The teachers who organize the activities are all familiar, and the teachers treat him as half a school worker. This person is usually honest and honest, gentle, and likes children. No one would have thought that such a thing would happen to him."

"Understood, the negotiation team pays attention." After a pause, Luo Wenzhou quickly made a coherent order, "When the kidnappers called for the first time, judging from the reaction of the teacher who led the team, he probably didn't know about Han Jiang and the kidnappers. There is a certain amount of trust between her and the driver because of the collusion. Therefore, unless there is a special situation, Han Jiang may not want to reveal himself. He is likely to be forced by usury to make such a thing happen, and he should also have a certain amount of respect for his children. qíng heart. The other kidnapper should be the leader of this kidnapping and extortion. He has a criminal record and is a hopeless repeat offender. He can figure out everything. The two of them have the same interests now, but the relationship cannot be too strong and can be divided. …”

"Boss," Lang Qiao interrupted him suddenly, "Phone! The kidnapper is calling!"

Luo Wenzhou: "All departments pay attention."

As soon as one sentence fell, everyone stood up, everyone put on their headphones, and the negotiating team was already in place.

The time of the second call was exactly one hour apart from the previous one. The negotiator answered the phone, but it was not the female teacher who spoke just now, but a sullen male voice: "Is the money ready?"

Everyone's heart sank.

The negotiator paused: "What about the female teacher just now?"

The man's heavy breathing could be heard on the phone, and the negotiator added: "Our parents have collected more than three million in cash, and my wife is rushing here with the money, and the rest must be raised as soon as possible. You can borrow it without us, but you can't go back and hurt people!"

The man on the other end of the phone laughed: "Oh, you are so obedient to raise money, didn't you call the police?"

The police officer of the negotiating team raised his head and silently asked for instructions with his eyes. Next to him, Lang Qiao held down the earphone and quickly conveyed Luo Wenzhou's instructions on the tablet: "Retire criminal, be honest."

"Reported...reported," the negotiating police officer said in a somewhat flustered voice, "before you contacted us...you...you didn't say you couldn't..."

"Oh, what about the police?"

"The Public Security Bureau of Xiling County said to ask the city bureau for instructions. The city bureau said they would take at least an hour to come over. We really can't wait, so we can only raise money to make preparations. You...you must not hurt the children."

After hearing this, the gangster on the other end of the phone was quite proud: "I told you a long time ago that I hope those rubbish are useless."

Probably heard that the money was almost in place, the robber thought for a while, and then he breathed a little: "Okay, let's talk to your little brat, what's his name?"

A note was handed to the side, and the negotiator glanced quickly: "Chen Hao, I'm Chen Hao's father, please let me have a word with him."

There was a sneer on the phone, and after a while, the boy came with a crying voice: "Dad, Daddy!"

Several police officers from the negotiating group next to each other gestured to each other-the child was terrified, but it sounded that he had not been physically harmed for the time being.

"Haohao, don't be afraid, are you with other children?" The negotiator on the line tried to make sure the other hostages were safe. "You have to be brave and set an example for other children, right?"

The boy answered vaguely, but before he could answer, the kidnapper grabbed the phone and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I heard you, don't give a fuck about unnecessary things, we don't need to deliver food, we don't need to deliver water. , don't expect the police to take the opportunity to sneak in, hurry up to raise money, if you have money, your son will die."

The negotiator frowned and shook his head at the colleagues around him. Lang Qiao withdrew the plan of "find a way to send someone close", raised his hand and made a gesture of "plan two" at him.

"Wait, can... can you let me have a word with the teacher in the car, the child is too scared - any teacher can!"

Hearing the saying "any teacher can do it", there was a weird sneer on the phone.

Then, a low and somewhat timid male voice came: "Hello."

It's Han Jiang!

"Teacher, I...I'm Chen Hao's father," the negotiator suppressed his voice, making his words sound a bit poignant, "Teacher, I know this is selfish, but you...do you have children of your own? ? Can you understand?"

There was silence for a while: "...I have."

"Teacher, please take good care of the children no matter what. We will try our best to find a way to deal with money. It doesn't matter if you spend your money, as long as the children are okay. They are all parents. You must know our hearts as parents. I know yours. The situation is also very difficult... Your child should be about the same age as Haohao, right? Think about him, we can't be there, we can only ask you to take care of us, it doesn't matter if you are a little scared, don't hurt, please! "

This time, Han Jiang was silent for a longer time, and his tone suddenly became less stable: "I... I will try my best..."

Han Jiang's voice fell, and suddenly there was a huge roar from halfway up the mountain in the distance. The explosive heavy metal music was unobstructed in the quiet night, and the dazzling lights came on, followed by whistles and screams.

The kidnapper blew up immediately, picked up the knife and grabbed the phone: "Who is it, the police? You are cheating! Don't you want the lives of those little cubs!"

The panicked explanation over the phone: "No, no..."

At the same time, a sweet and greasy female voice came through the loudspeaker: "Don't be a coward, darlings, get in the car, the 'Death Road' ran down just now, can the handsome guys let you have an accident? "

The whistle sounded through the loudspeaker, almost turning over the ground in a radius of ten kilometers. Colored lasers were scrambling around the mountains. In the lights, several arrogant modified sports cars were shining in the mountains, as if the huge shadows of the doors of the cars were about to take off. He was skillfully cast by the light onto the mountainside not far away.

Han Jiang grabbed the kidnapper's hand holding the knife: "There is an off-road club nearby, didn't you check it before you came here, calm down!"

The kidnapper bào angrily: "Go away! Why is it so coincidental that they happened to be here?"

The negotiator on the phone said loudly: "We really don't know, you can change places, the money will come soon, don't hurt the child, teacher! Teacher! Teacher!"

Three consecutive "Teacher" sounds like a sharp needle, tugging at Han Jiang's nerves.

Children in the school sometimes can't tell the difference between school staff and outsourcers, especially when they are young. When they meet adults in school, they call him "teacher", which is what those children usually call him.

Han Jiang put his hands on his accomplice, and said hurriedly in his ear: "Did you hear, the money is almost here, it's just the last step, do you have to make extra troubles at this time? Look up, does it look like a police car, they are running away It's Shandao, I didn't plan to come at all, a few shadows scared you to pee, what can you do!"

The kidnapper followed his gaze and seemed to be persuaded by him, and the hand holding the knife relaxed slightly.

Han Jiang: "A little brat ran away just now. It's not safe here. I'm going to drive and change places."

The sound of the gang of demons dancing around the rich second-generation racing car is full of presence, and the sound of the huge engine of the howling sports car is roaring around the mountain road. Although it is far away and has no intention of approaching, it almost surrounds the place where the minibus is located. When they got up, the drums of the dance music hit the chests of the two kidnappers one after another. They had to withdraw from the original space and headed towards the only direction away from the noise.

Luo Wenzhou's voice came from Lang Qiao's earphones: "The target vehicle has already been brought into the sniper range, and we need to find a way to stop them."

On the bus, the kidnapper's cell phone, which he didn't have time to turn off, suddenly rang, and the parent just said incoherently on the phone: "The money has arrived, the cash, but it's only more than three million, and we are still trying to find a way to make up the rest... …”

The sound of the music is getting farther and farther, but the drums are getting faster and faster, and it is tickling people's nerves, making people more and more flustered.

The robber with the knife roared loudly: "No, not a single one!"

Han Jiang stepped on the brakes with one foot: "It's almost done, the two of us have five or five points, and it's not a lot for one person to take more than one million. Don't drag the police!"

"I want five million!"

The negotiator on the phone: "We have really tried our best, teacher, think about your children, they are all children, teacher, please!"

The blue veins on Han Jiang's forehead jumped.

"If I don't have five million, I'll kill all these little brats. Anyway, I've been in prison, so what's the big deal if I go in again."

Han Jiang picked up the machete thrown to him by his accomplice: "I don't want to go to jail!"

The two men gasped like a bullfight. After a while, the kidnapper stared at Han Jiang coldly: "Uncle, do you regret it?"

Han Jiang didn't say a word, he really regretted it.

The kidnapper suddenly smiled sympathetically, raised his hand and handed him the phone: "Okay, listen to you, we'll take it when we see it."

Han Jiang hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone without expression: "In this way, you can find someone to deliver, if you want someone, preferably a woman, the location is..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and the screams of the children exploded in his ears. Han Jiang subconsciously turned to his side, but he couldn't dodge completely. The sharp blade of his accomplice had already entered his lower abdomen.

Han Jiang let out a loud roar, instinctively resisted under the severe pain, and threw himself on the other side. The kidnapper took a step back, hit the car door with his back, and twisted the handle of the machete violently. At this moment, he bào It was exposed on the glass door without curtains and was firmly pressed by Han Jiang's body.

A bullet broke through the window and hit the back of the kidnapper's head—

Hidden sirens and ambulances rang through the night sky.

Half an hour later, Luo Wenzhou tidied up the scene and came to the halfway up the mountain where the music was so loud. From a distance, he saw Fei Du leaning on a car, his shirt unbuttoned, tattoos and body black and white from his chest to his lower abdomen. Clearly, the ends of the hair on the back of his head were still dripping water.

He didn't need props and sets, just going to that stop by himself would give people the feeling of a wine pond ròu forest for no reason.

Luo Wenzhou's intention was originally upright, but at this time, his eyes swept across his half-hearted chest, and he suddenly became embarrassed for no reason. He coughed a little, "Thank you for today."

Fei Du took half a glass of champagne from the girl next to him, and raised his glass at him from a distance: "You're welcome, I will play in my true colors."

Luo Wenzhou: "..."

Inexplicably, he looked unhappy again.

"Captain Luo," at this moment, Lang Qiao called in, interrupting the strange atmosphere. She breathlessly said, "I'm missing a child!"
