Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 462 Kidnapping!

Xishuang City.

The home of Chen Fangliang’s ex-wife Tang Lan.

It’s five in the morning, the darkest time before dawn.

There was a knock on the door. A female police officer stood up tiredly from the dining chair, walked to the door, and put her right eye to the peephole.

A police officer's ID card appeared behind the magnifying convex mirror, and then the policewoman opened the door.

Luo Rui and his group appeared outside the door. The three of them were eating bread while watching the situation inside the house.

"Hello, we are from Zhangshui County." Lin Chen put down his police officer ID and took a bite of the meat floss bread in his hand.

The policewoman looked at her ID again, stood up straight, made way for the door, turned around and shouted to the captain who was resting on the sofa: "Captain Liu, the comrades from the provincial department are here."

When he shouted, Liu Zefu immediately jumped up from the sofa. The others who were originally lying on the table or sitting in the chairs to rest also stood up quickly and cheered up.

After Luo Rui entered the house, he handed the half-eaten bread in his hand to Lin Chen.

"Mr. Luo, I've heard of your great name for a long time. Thank you for coming here so late at night. You've worked hard," Liu Zefu extended his hand politely.

Luo Rui nodded and shook hands with him: "Captain Liu, you have worked hard too. I am really sorry to wake you up from bed."

"It's work, it's my duty." Liu Zefu welcomed Luo Rui and the other two to the huge living room.

The prison escape case in Zhangshui County has escalated into a serious kidnapping case.

Although the kidnapping case is not one of the eight major cases, this case has the potential to cause serious consequences, so the Xishuang City Public Security Bureau attaches great importance to it.

Another reason is that Luo Rui is leading the investigation, and it is impossible for Xishuang City to send a team leader to deal with it.

As the detachment leader, this task would definitely fall on Liu Zefu.

Even if Luo Rui only came to investigate a theft case, the Municipal Bureau would have to send someone of equal status to receive him. This is the way of the world.

Liu Zefu treated other people's homes as his own and said very politely: "Boss Luo, two comrades from the provincial department, shall we sit down and talk?"

Lin Chen and Chu Yang were also greeted, and the other party extended his hand to say hello.

They had worked up late to get here and were not in good spirits to begin with, but they were very happy to see Captain Liu being so considerate.

Many people don’t understand one thing: the subordinates around a leader are also leaders.

Luo Rui looked at this luxurious large flat. The decoration inside the house was extremely extravagant. However, some traces could still be seen that some of the style characteristics of the original owner were retained.

For example, the two paintings and calligraphy on the wine cabinet are completely inconsistent with the tone of the house. The wine cabinet was obviously purchased later.

This house was where Chen Fangliang lived before he went to prison. It was officially his property, but since his ex-wife divorced him, the house and most of the company's assets were awarded to his ex-wife.

There aren't many details in the living room and dining room, but you can definitely find some of Chen Fangliang's traces in his bedroom and study.

But this is not the most important thing at the moment. Luo Rui has no time to think about it. He looks at Liu Fuze: "Captain Liu, is this son born to Tang Lan Chen Fangliang's biological son?"

Liu Fuze shook his head: "This woman is very stubborn and refuses to speak, but we have already taken their DNA for comparison, and the results should be out by noon today."

Luo Rui nodded: "Another question, was Tang Lan's son, Chen Xuan, kidnapped by Chen Fangliang?"

"The child was indeed taken away. We found an eyewitness and we also retrieved the surveillance footage from around the elementary school where the child was studying..."

Liu Fuze waved to a technical police officer, who quickly turned on the computer on the coffee table, operated it quickly, and then turned the screen to Luo Rui.

Luo Rui carried his briefcase, bent down and stared at the video screen.

Liu Fuze quickly dragged a chair over and placed it behind him: "Mr. Luo, please sit down."

Luo Rui nodded and looked around. All the police officers were standing. He didn't sit down, so they had to stand.

"Everyone is tired, don't be so reserved, take a rest if you need to, and smoke if you want, just don't worry about me."

Hearing him say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started doing other things.

Some people went to the balcony to smoke, while others took out snacks and had a few bites.

Some detectives who were eager to improve themselves and had good eyesight began to surround Luo Rui and Liu Fuze, wanting to hear about the case.

The video on the laptop was playing.

Luo Rui stared at the screen without blinking.

The picture is blurry, but you can see a little boy of seven or eight years old carrying a schoolbag, pushing and shoving in the crowd after coming out of the school gate.

At this time, Liu Fuze pointed to the upper right corner of the screen and said, "Mr. Luo, look at this roadside, about a hundred meters away from the school gate, there is a white Mercedes-Benz parked. This car belongs to Su Li, who is Tang Lan's current husband. He is here to pick up the child..."

Luo Rui waved his hand: "I have already read all this information on the way here, Captain Liu, you don't need to explain."

Liu Fuze nodded and said nothing more.

Luo Rui squinted his eyes and saw the kid named Chen Xuan. After squeezing out of the crowd, he was about to run to the Mercedes-Benz on the side of the road, but his shoulder was suddenly grabbed by a big hand.

Because there were many parents picking up their children at the school gate, and this man was wearing a black baseball cap, glasses and a mask on his face, so his face could not be seen clearly.

Chen Xuan's shoulders were held and he instinctively looked back, trying to break free.

But the man immediately squatted down.

At this moment, the man's figure could not be seen in the picture at all.

When he stood up again, he had already held Chen Xuan's hand and took him away.

The video was only a few minutes long. Luo Rui watched it twice and nodded.

"Yes, this person is Chen Fangliang!"

Liu Fuze did not deny that Chen Fangliang's identity information was placed on the coffee table, and he had carefully compared it with the video footage before.

Luo Rui instructed Lin Chen: "Call Dong Jianhui now and tell them not to waste time in Zhangshui County. Chen Fangliang must have fled to Xishuang City."

"Okay." Lin Chen immediately took out her cell phone. She didn't care whether the other person was awake or not.

Liu Fuze said, "Boss Luo, the crime happened yesterday afternoon, and we didn't know the situation clearly at that time. Now we know that Chen Fangliang has fled back to Xishuang City. I will rush back to the Municipal Bureau and organize the police force of the whole city to arrest this person."

Luo Rui nodded: "Captain Liu, I am not very familiar with Xishuang City. You don't need to consult my opinion on this case. Just search and arrest according to your method.

However, I would like to remind you of two points. First, Chen Fangliang's purpose is still unclear. Did he escape from prison simply to find out whether Chen Xuan is his biological son? Or does he have other purposes?
Second, Chen Fangliang is not alone. He has someone helping him behind the scenes. Zhangshui County is still investigating who helped him escape from prison. If we find this person, we can find clues!"

"Okay!" Liu Fuze pushed his glasses and called his two old chefs.

"Boss Luo, these two are veteran police officers from our city bureau. I'll ask them to follow you and assist you in investigating the case."

"Hello, Mr. Luo." A male and a female plainclothes criminal police greeted Luo Rui. The female police officer was the one who opened the door for them earlier.

"My name is Zhang Min."

"My name is Huang Tao."

"Hello." Luo Rui nodded.

After Liu Fuze left, Luo Rui looked at the electronic equipment on the dining table and the technical police officer sitting at the table.

These people did not withdraw, but stayed here in accordance with the specifications of a kidnapping case to prepare for any emergencies.

Luo Rui stood up and walked to the dining table, pointed at the four mobile phones lined up in a row, and asked, "Whose are these?"

Short-haired policewoman Zhang Min said, "These phones belong to Ms. Tang and her current husband Su Li. We collected them in case we receive a call from Chen Fangliang."

"What about these two people?"

Zhang Min looked towards the corridor inside the large flat: "Rest in the room."

"Scream."

"Yes!" Zhang Ming winked at his companion Huang Tao, and the two walked towards the master bedroom.

She first put her ear to the door and listened, then reached out and knocked.

After a moment, a young man named Su Li opened the door.

"Any news about the baby?"

Zhang Min didn't answer him, but said directly: "Our leader wants to see you two."

Lidya Su looked behind Zhang Min and met Luo Rui's gaze.

He quickly looked away: "Wait a moment, we will be out soon."

Then he closed the door.

At this time, Luo Rui looked at the watch on his wrist. It was six thirty in the morning.

It was not until ten minutes later that Su Li and Tang Lan came out of the bedroom.

Lin Chen stood beside Luo Rui and asked in a low voice: "It took them ten minutes to come out. What were these two doing? Are they giving their confessions?"

"I don't know." Luo Rui shrugged.

After a while, Luo Rui sat down with the two men across the coffee table.

Lin Chen took out his police ID and showed it to them: "We are from the Provincial Public Security Department, and this is our deputy chief of criminal investigation, Luo Rui. Ms. Tang, we are here to investigate your ex-husband's escape from prison."

As soon as the name came out, Tang Lan's pupils shrank and she looked at Su Li beside her.

Luo Rui looked at the two people carefully. Su Li was obviously much younger than Tang Lan. She was basically just a gigolo.

The two people's conditions were completely different. Tang Lan seemed to have fallen asleep before, and her eye bags were still a little swollen.

But Su Li's eyes were tired, and it was obvious that he had been up all night just like the police officer in the room.

This is very strange. Tang Lan, as a mother, still had the mind to sleep after her son was kidnapped, but Su Li couldn't sleep. What was he thinking?
This question immediately popped up in Luo Rui's mind.

He asked calmly, "Ms. Tang, it's the same question again. Captain Liu from the Municipal Bureau asked you before, is Chen Xuan the son of Chen Fangliang? Please tell us the truth!"

Tang Lan pursed her lips. Facing the police officers from the Provincial Public Security Department, she didn't dare to act as arrogantly as she did to the police officers from the Municipal Bureau.

Her confidence comes from the fact that she is the chairman of a large company, and over time she has developed a certain aura.

But the name "Luo Rui" frightened her.

Last month, a new deputy chief of criminal police came to Yunnan Province. He was transferred from Haidong Province. As soon as he took office, the wealthy people in the province were in a panic and fled overnight.

She had heard of this somewhat absurd thing and had also read some reports about Luo Rui on the Internet.

At first, she thought this must be a fabricated internet myth and that someone wanted to target the young deputy chief of criminal police.

But now, this person appeared in front of her, and Tang Lan couldn't help but feel a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.

"I..." She pursed her lips: "Actually, I don't know either."

Luo Rui frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" Tang Lan raised her head and said, "It means exactly what it says. I don't know if Xuanxuan is his child."

Luo Rui raised his hand and pointed at Su Li beside him without hesitation: "Is that his?"

"Ah?" Lidya Su swallowed his saliva and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, it's definitely not my child."

"How do you know for sure?" Luo Rui stared at him.

"I secretly took Xuanxuan's toothbrush and did a paternity test." Su Li answered cautiously.

Before Luo Rui could respond, Tang Lan turned aside immediately with an angry look on her face: "You did this behind my back! What do you mean?"

Lidya Su clasped his hands together and lowered his head: "I want to know the truth, too."

Tang Lan didn't let him go: "I f*cking support you, I feed you, I clothe you, I buy you a luxury car, and you f*cking do this behind my back! Are you crazy?"

"No, listen to my explanation." Lidya Su's face flushed, and he tried his best to defend himself: "What I think is that if Xuanxuan is really mine, I will definitely treat him twice as well."

"Get your ass off!" Tang Lan cursed harshly.

"Speak more politely!" Lin Chen reminded him, "We are investigating a case now, not chatting about family matters."

Tang Lan raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Chen, not daring to say a word.

Luo Rui pursed his lips at Su Li and said, "Do you have a copy of the personal appraisal report? Bring it out!"

Su Li didn't listen to him, but looked at Tang Lan. Seeing the latter nodded, he got up and went to the study.

Luo Rui continued to ask: "Ms. Tang, Xuanxuan is not your current husband's child. He is the child of you and your ex-husband Chen Fangliang. Can I understand it this way?"

But the police officers present were speechless as Tang Lan just shook her head.

Luo Rui was originally leaning forward, but when he saw her deny it, he felt a chill in his heart and leaned back to distance himself from her.

He didn't realize that the action he made was an act of disdain.

"alright."

Luo Rui was too lazy to dwell on this issue any further. It was ridiculous that Tang Lan didn't even know who the father of her own child was.

"Tell me about Chen Fangliang. What's his personality like?"

Seeing that the other party no longer asked these shameful questions, Tang Lan straightened her face and said, "He likes reading and is easy-going.

He is not like other men. Even if he encounters something unhappy or is provoked, he will not lose his temper easily.

He is very calm and restrained, the kind of person who can remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe.

To be honest, I have never heard him say anything bad about anyone, nor have I ever seen him get angry.

That’s why I felt that the years I was married to him were very boring.”

Lin Chen couldn't help but interrupt: "Isn't this kind of man good?"

Tang Lan glanced at her and said, "Female police officer, you are probably not married, right? We women don't want boring men, otherwise our lives will be too dull.

Let me tell you this, no matter you are crying, laughing, or excited, my ex-husband Chen Fangliang is just like an outsider, watching you quietly.

He may enlighten you, and what he says are all those profound principles, those mysterious things.

I don’t need a husband like that. What I need is a man who can cry with me when I cry, and can go crazy with me when I go crazy.”

Lin Chen rolled his eyes. Isn’t this just love-brained?

Luo Rui also has the same feeling. No wonder some girls in society like boys with yellow hair. Yellow hair has this kind of charm.

Luo Rui coughed twice and asked, "According to what you said, your ex-husband Chen Fangliang would not hurt Chen Xuan?"

"I don't know." Tang Lan covered her face with her hands and shook her head: "He has been in prison for all these years. I only saw him five years ago. He may have changed."

"One last question." Luo Rui raised a finger in front of her eyes to remind her to pay attention.

"Some people outside are saying that you personally sent Chen Fangliang to prison. Is that true?"

Tang Lan's face darkened, and she leaned back, imitating Luo Rui's previous action, as if trying to escape.

"Officer Luo, I'm tired. If you're done asking questions, I'll go rest."

Without waiting for Luo Rui to nod, she stood up and returned to the bedroom without stopping.

Lin Chen whispered: "This woman is really shameless!"

Chu Yang continued, "I think it's all because of this woman that Chen Fangliang is in this situation. She even swore that she blamed Chen Fangliang for the divorce."

"Our biggest headache right now is that Chen Fangliang kidnapped Chen Xuan. What on earth is he planning to do..."

Before Lin Chen finished speaking, Lidya Su walked out of the study with a report in her hand.

He handed the item to Luo Rui and said, "I did a paternity test three years ago. It clearly states that Xuanxuan and I are not related by blood."

Su Li's tone was a little disappointed. Luo Rui glanced at him and knew very well what he was thinking.

If Chen Xuan was his son, then needless to say, he could stay in this family legitimately and own everything that belonged to Chen Fangliang.

The house, car, savings, or children, they are all his.

His only thought was to use the child Xuanxuan to tie down the rich woman Tang Lan.

Luo Rui took a look at the appraisal report and pointed to the sofa.

Su Li nodded and sat down carefully.

"Do you always pick up and drop off Chen Xuan from school?"

"Yes." Lidya Su smiled bitterly: "I am half a nanny."

"What is the child's personality like?"

"Very mature, reserved, he doesn't communicate with me much."

"What about his relationship with his mother?"

Lidya Su smacked his lips: “How should I put it, the relationship is not very good.”

Luo Rui pursed his lips: "Why is it not good?"

Su Li made a "sizzling" sound and changed his sitting position. He glanced at the bedroom door with an embarrassed expression.

Luo Rui reminded: "Just say whatever you want to say, don't worry about anything."

"Okay then." Su Li nodded. He put his palms together and rubbed them back and forth a few times.

"It happened a year ago. Xuanxuan went to the company to play. An old employee in the company whispered to him that his father was sent to prison because of his mother.

Because of this incident, he questioned his mother and his mother beat him.

This child is very smart. Although he is only eight years old, his IQ is very high. He can guess that what others told him might be true..."

"No matter how smart an eight-year-old child is, it's unlikely for him to know this, right?" Lin Chen asked.

Lidya Su shrugged: "Look at this house, how many of Chen Fangliang's things are there?"

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Lidya Su sighed and whispered, "I know what you policemen think. You just think that I, Lidya Su, have usurped the throne and taken over all of Chen Fangliang's things?
In fact, it is not like that. I am just forced by life.

Five years ago, when Chen Fangliang was just imprisoned, Tang Lan threw away all his things, including the books he read and his clothes.

Xuanxuan is growing up day by day, how can he not feel it? Besides, Xuanxuan still has grandparents, won't these people teach him these things?
Because of this, Xuanxuan often runs away from home to find his father.

Several times, we couldn't find anyone and called the police several times.

In addition to this, Xuanxuan often wrote letters to his father, one every day, without his mother's knowledge. "

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes: "What did he write?"

Su Li shook his head: "I don't know about this. I don't even dare to enter this child's room. But one time, I went to his bedroom to bring him milk and accidentally saw this sentence written on his desk:

Dad, my eight-year-old feet can’t walk that far, and I want to come and see you, but it’s such a distant thing…”

"Did this child really write this sentence?" Luo Rui was shocked by the emotions contained in this sentence.

The same was true for Lin Chen and Chu Yang, as the fatigue from staying up late was swept away.

Su Li nodded: "It was really written by him."

Luo Rui stood up and told Lin Chen: "Call Qiao Xue and ask her and Fang Yonghui to check whether Zhangshui Prison has received Chen Xuan's letter and whether the prison has intercepted the child's letter. If so, fax it to us immediately!"

After finishing speaking, Luo Rui looked at Lidya Su again.

"Mr. Su, have you ever had contact with Chen Fangliang?"

Su Li nodded: "I've seen him a few times, but I'm not familiar with him."

"Why do you think Chen Fangliang kidnapped Chen Xuan?"

"I……"

Lidya Su pondered, "If I were him, I might think about taking revenge on my ex-wife. As for what to do with Xuanxuan, it depends on whether Xuanxuan is his child or not.

By the way, Officer Luo, please don’t tell my wife what I told you. Anyway, I want to emphasize that I am not a bad person, not what you think. "

"That's enough!" Luo Ruitian didn't like people like him. "You can go and rest. If we still have questions, I hope you will continue to cooperate."

"Understood." Lidya Su returned to the bedroom with a relaxed look on his face.

At this time, the sky was starting to turn pale and it was getting light.

Chu Yang moved closer to Luo Rui and said, "Team Leader, I don't think we need to worry too much. According to our investigation over the past two days, Chen Fangliang is a decent person and he probably won't do anything to hurt the child."

"Chu Yang, let's just investigate according to normal procedures. Don't try to guess human nature. People like Chen Fangliang will either die in silence or explode in silence!"

Just as Luo Rui finished speaking, a shrill telephone ring suddenly rang in the empty living room.

There were four mobile phones on the dining table, one of which kept jumping on the table.

The technical police officer picked up the phone, glanced at the screen, and turned on the speakerphone.

The police officer didn't speak, and neither did the person on the other end of the phone.

The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. After about a minute, a man's voice sounded on the other end of the phone:

"Hello, I'm Chen Fangliang."
