Reborn in 97, I solved a cold case at the Municipal Bureau

Chapter 131 It’s too difficult for me
Logically speaking, children of wealthy people would not go to ordinary schools.

There are many options to choose from, including private schools, international schools, and even studying abroad.

But in the 1990s, this kind of educational concept had not yet been formed in a small place like Hongcheng. Zhou Yi remembered that the first private school in Hongcheng only appeared in the year 2000.

What Zhou Yi wants to do now is to guide Qian Hongxing to suspect people in the school, and then based on "Qian Hongxing's suspicion", he will naturally let Wu Yongcheng and others check the suspicious objects in the school.

So as to quickly locate Sun Kun.

"It's like this. Qian Lailai is only seven years old this year. At this age, the only way for him to come into contact with people in society is through school."

Qian Hongxing immediately waved his hand and denied it: "No, I think the kidnappers came for me. They knew I was rich, so they kidnapped my son."

"Yes, the kidnappers are definitely targeting you, there's no doubt about that. But what I mean is why the kidnappers chose you and your son as targets for kidnapping and ransom. That's the key."

"Because the kidnappers know that I am a rich man." Qian Hongxing said stubbornly.

"Hongcheng has more than just Qian Hongxing as an entrepreneur, and you, Mr. Qian, are not the richest man in Hongcheng. If the kidnappers' goal was to 'kidnap a rich man's child for ransom,' then why did they choose Qian Lailai?"

Zhou Yi began to understand why the direction of the investigation into the kidnapping case had gone astray.

Qian Hongxing's self-righteousness is definitely one of the reasons that misled the direction of the investigation.

"This..." Faced with Zhou Yi's question, Qian Hongxing was at a loss for words.

"Kidnapping cases generally fall into two categories. One involves professional kidnapping gangs, who first have a criminal motive of demanding a high ransom and then select targets who can pay the ransom. The other is spontaneous kidnapping, where the kidnapper's intention to kidnap someone arises from seeing the target. The latter is often driven by a desperate need for quick payment."

Zhou Yi had almost made it clear.

Fortunately, Qian Hongxing is self-righteous, but not stupid.

"You mean, someone at school was short of money, and then saw my son and suddenly came up with the idea of ​​kidnapping him?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "I can't rule out this possibility. I will have my colleagues focus on investigating in this direction, with the main targets being the school's faculty and staff."

Finally he said this, and Zhou Yi felt that it was really difficult for him.

He knew the suspect's identity but couldn't say it directly.

"But I haven't been to school, how did they know?" Qian Hongxing said in confusion, touching his chin.

"Have you signed your son's test paper?" Zhou Yi asked.

Qian Hongxing clapped his hands and said, "Oh my god, Officer Zhou, you're right. Last time, my son got 100 points in both Chinese and math. They asked for a parent's signature, and I signed it out of sheer joy."

It's settled. Regardless of whether his identity was exposed at this point, at least there is a clue to support it.

Zhou Yi immediately called the Third Squadron and told them he had obtained a very useful clue from the hostage's father. He instructed them to quickly investigate the Second Central Primary School in Qingshan District, focusing especially on those who engaged in gambling and other bad behaviors, as these individuals were most likely to take risks for money.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi knew that the first step had been taken.

Although the school is over now and verifying the movements of faculty and staff will be cumbersome, it is only a matter of time before the investigation leads to Sun Kun.

As long as the hostages are alive, there is hope.

"Boss, we'll be there soon." said the driver Xiao Liu.

Qian Hongxing nodded.

At this time, Zhou Yi said, "Master Liu, please don't go in yet. Drive the car around the perimeter of the villa area."

The driver was stunned and didn't understand what he was going to do. He immediately looked at Qian Hongxing in the rearview mirror.

Qian Hongxing raised his eyebrows and gestured to do as he was told.

The driver immediately turned the steering wheel, the car turned, and began to drive forward around the villa area. Soon, the car turned around and returned to the gate of Hongcheng Baodi.

The driver asked, "Comrade police officer, can we go in now?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Go in."

"Okay." The driver turned the steering wheel and drove to the gate.

At the gate, a security guard wearing a uniform resembling a police uniform clearly recognized the car. He gave it a standard salute and shouted, "Welcome home, distinguished owner."

The sensor door then opens automatically.

It is indeed the place where rich people live, and the emotional value is maximized.

Ding Chunmei remembered the station's request and asked quietly, "Officer Zhou, why did you just drive the car around the neighborhood?"

This is actually what Qian Hongxing wanted to ask.

"I want to check if there's any possibility of anyone being monitored nearby."

"Surveillance?"

"Well, the note the kidnappers left clearly said not to call the police. The purpose of writing this down was, of course, to intimidate and deter, but there are usually two reasons for not calling the police. The first is intimidation, which increases the psychological burden on the family members and gives them control over the kidnapping. The second is a direct threat, threatening retaliation if they discover they have called the police."

"It seems that this is only the first level of the situation."

Ding Chunmei asked curiously, "Why?"

"The security measures in this community are very good. The walls are very high and equipped with electric fences. There are professional security guards at the gate and there are surveillance cameras. Outsiders can't get in at all. The view around the community is very open, and there are no particularly tall buildings that can be used for surveillance."

At this time, the car had entered the residential area and stopped in front of a villa.

"Officer Zhou, we're here." Qian Hongxing's attitude was obviously much better than before.

Zhou Yi and Ding Chunmei got out of the car. Zhou Yi looked around the villa and said to the camera, "This villa is located near the center of the residential complex, so the kidnappers don't have the conditions to monitor Mr. Qian's home. Not letting us call the police is just psychological intimidation."

The last sentence was naturally said to Qian Hongxing.

Arrogant businessmen like Qian Hongxing like to grab the information they want by themselves. If you deliberately tell him something, he will question it and not believe it.

Sure enough, when Qian Hongxing heard the last sentence, he deliberately looked at Zhou Yi.

As soon as the villa door opened, a lady crying bitterly rushed over and hugged Qian Hongxing.

"Husband, please think of a way to save our son, wuwuwu."

"Why are you crying? You can't even take care of your child and you still have the nerve to cry!" Qian Hongxing cursed.

There was also an aunt in her forties standing nearby, timidly stepping forward. She seemed to be the nanny.

"You!" Qian Hongxing pointed at the nanny, who shuddered immediately.

"Why do you take him to the park when you have nothing better to do?" Qian Hongxing said angrily.

The nanny hesitated and said fearfully, "It was my wife who asked me to take the young master to the park."

Qian Hongxing was stunned and immediately looked at his wife. He saw that her face looked a little unusual, as if she had suddenly thought of something.

Suddenly he raised his hand and slapped her in the face, cursing, "Did you meet your ex-boyfriend again?"

Zhou Yi was stunned. Ex-boyfriend? Wait, there was no such thing in the information he knew.
