The atmosphere in the entire car suddenly relaxed for a moment.
Ge Weiguo and Zou Minghui had unconcealable joy on their faces.
Zhou Zhiyuan leaned back on the chair, where no one could see him, his clenched hands were trembling, "Say"
A simple word, but he suddenly let out a breath of turbidity.
"According to the witnesses in the investigation, two middle-aged men were seen carrying sacks at 11 o'clock last night. This news was also confirmed by Comrade Gu Ning's classmate Yuan Yuan——"
Yu Shiliu did not dare to delay and quickly sorted out the latest news.
"They passed through Yong'an Lane and Nankang Port carrying sacks, and finally stopped at——"
Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly sat up straight, as if he had forgotten the pain.
"This is not the route of Dongbian Bay Pier." To be precise, it should be said that it is the completely opposite route.
Zhou Zhiyuan took out a reduced version of the map, spread it out on a chair, and drew a circle on it.
"Stop in this area of Xiguan——"
More specifically, it’s the Reed Island area.
Reed Island was not called Reed Island before. It was a reed swamp. Later, it was flooded year after year and it was close to the river bank. The reeds were lush and spread everywhere.
It has completely formed an independent island. As for the old brick factory that came to visit, it was only moved away more than ten years ago because it was flooded all year round.
City people like to call the reed swamp Reed Island, and it is indeed worthy of this name.
After another rainfall this year, there was no land on all sides, and a new small island was completely formed. The official renamed it Reed Island.
As soon as Zhou Zhiyuan said this, everyone in the car was shocked.
"Didn't the kidnapper say they want to collect the ransom at Dongbianwan Pier?"
Why would you go to a place like Xiguan that is completely opposite?
Zhou Zhiyuan did not answer the question, but said to Yu Shiliu, "Turn around and go to Reed Island in Xiguan." He changed his tone, looked at Ge Weiguo, and said to him, "Lao Ge, Dongbianwan Pier, we still need you.
Stare!”
After a pause, he lowered his eyes and said, "And the Gu family, we need to keep a close eye on them and convey news at all times."
Since the kidnappers mentioned Dongbianwan Pier, they were probably just trying to make a fool of themselves.
If the other party is really here for money, they will definitely change their location temporarily.
When Ge Weiguo heard this, his expression became stern, "Old Zhou, what do you mean?"
He is also an old police officer who has been handling cases for many years.
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded with a solemn expression.
What I'm afraid of is not that the other party wants money, but that the other party will move places. The purpose from the beginning is to break up the dispute.
This is the scariest thing.
Obviously, not only Zhou Zhiyuan thought about it, but Ge Weiguo also thought about it. He looked stern and said, "I'm going to rearrange it now."
It seems that his previous plan was still a bit inadequate.
Ge Weiguo got out of the car temporarily. Before he got off the car, he took a special look at Yu Shiliu. Yu Shiliu understood within seconds.
This is to let him take good care of Team Zhou.
Yu Shiliu stepped on the accelerator faster and faster.
Zou Minghui noticed that Zhou Zhiyuan was staring at the map and was covered in cold sweat. She said, "Comrade Zhou, can I give you a painkiller injection?"
Zhou Zhiyuan instantly raised his eyes, his phoenix eyes showing his sharpness, "No need."
"But--"
The clothes on your chest are wet with blood.
Of course, Zou Minghui's words were interrupted by Zhou Zhiyuan, "Analgesic injections will affect the senses."
He used to be a sniper.
Every bit of sense can determine life or death.
Even if you are not in the army now, keeping your body in peak condition at all times is what every sniper should do.
Zhou Zhiyuan's rejection made Zou Minghui silent for a moment. She had always been a decisive person. After confirming the results given by Zhou Zhiyuan, she immediately put away the medical kit.
But looking at Zhou Zhiyuan, there was a bit of admiration in his eyes.
Soldiers are worthy of respect and respect no matter when they protect their homeland.
Zhou Zhiyuan didn't look at her, he was staring at the map, "Xiguan, Reed Island-" The location is next door to Hongxing Commune, Pingxi Commune.
An idea flashed in Zhou Zhiyuan's mind, but he didn't catch anything.
He suddenly raised his head, looked at Yu Shiliu in the driver's seat, and asked, "Sixteen, have you checked the acquaintance?"
Yu Shiliu held his hand on the steering wheel for a moment, "Still checking-" But the news didn't come that fast.
Zhou Zhiyuan understood the implication.
He took a deep breath and said in an indifferent tone, "Speed up."
I don’t know whether the increased speed refers to the speed of the car or the speed of tracking down an acquaintance.
Yu Shiliu hesitated, "Captain Zhou, your body cannot withstand a speed of 160 yards."
He still had unexploded bullets on him.
The speed of the car was 160 yards, and the winding road was undoubtedly torture for Team Zhou.
Zhou Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, "Just drive." There is no need to worry about other things.
At this time, Yu Shiliu stopped talking and looked at the doctor Zou Minghui.
But Zou Minghui shook his head.
For a person like Zhou Zhiyuan, once he makes a decision, no one can change his decision.
In other words, to accept is to give up.
Yu Shiliu forced himself to drive. The car roared past at a speed of one hundred and sixty yards, and the scenery outside the window turned into a shadow.
Zhou Zhiyuan looked out the car window, constantly calculating the time and place.
Half a moment.
His voice was hoarse, "Gu Ning, wait for me -" Okay?
He didn't say the last two words, but there was a vulnerability that no one noticed.
…
Reed Island, abandoned brick factory.
Gu Ning woke up again, it was getting late.
She moved a little and found that this time, not only her hands and feet were tied up.
The entire body from the neck down was tied with thick hemp ropes.
Being tied up for a long time caused her blood to flow backwards and her limbs to become numb.
Gu Ning raised his eyes and looked outside the brick kiln.
Gu Panwen, who should have been unconscious, was now sitting next to the makeshift stove, holding black charcoal and writing and drawing on the ground. In the iron hanging pot next to him, white porridge was cooking, and white smoke was emitting.
Sitting next to him were Gu Jianwei and Zhang Laosan.
Both of them looked serious.
I only heard Gu Panwen say, "The temporary warning line set up next to the reed swamp has been moved."
As soon as he said this, Gu Jianwei's expression suddenly changed, "Someone is here."
Except for the four of them, no one has ever set foot on the island.
They originally thought that even if they found it, it would be tomorrow, but they never expected that someone had already touched the Reed Island just as it got dark.
A hint of cruelty flashed across Gu Jianwei's face, "It was stated in the letter that the police were not allowed, but the third child still called the police."
This is, I don't intend to take Gu Ning's life.
Except for the police's assistance, they couldn't imagine why they found such a secret place so quickly.
As soon as he said this, everyone's heart sank again.
Gu Panwen quickly made a decision, "Transfer!"
We can't stay on Reed Island any longer.
This made both Gu Jianwei and Zhang Laosan feel a little uncomfortable, "But apart from here, we can't find a better location."
Even the location of Reed Island was decided upon after repeated discussions.
Gu Panwen didn't want to change positions. Changing positions would mean that all the previous efforts were wasted.
He turned his head and glanced at Gu Ning, who was still sleeping. "Change! You must change. If you don't change, are you waiting to be arrested by the police?"
In one sentence, everyone's doubts were dispelled.
Changing positions is a must.
"Then where to change?" Gu Jianwei and Zhang Laosan both hesitated.
Changing positions is not that easy.
Gu Panwen looked around at the whistling reeds outside the brick factory, thought for a moment and said, "The most dangerous place is the safest place, looking back at home."
No matter how hard they tried, they would never have thought that Gu Ning would be kidnapped, and that the location of the kidnapping would be in the Gu family's penthouse.
this location.
When Gu Panwen mentioned this suggestion, Zhang Laosan was still confused, but Gu Jianwei's eyes lit up.
The Gu family's house collapsed, and half of it was repaired. The only thing that was intact was the wing room.
He was the only one living there before, but in the past few days after he left, everyone thought the Gu family was gone.
Going back would be a good idea.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the gods are unaware of the ghosts.
The three of them suddenly became a little excited.
"What about Dongbianwan Pier?"
Zhang Laosan asked uncertainly.
They didn't hide the kidnapping letter from him either.
It looks like I have to pay one hand and change people tonight.
But looking at their words, they had no intention of going to Dongbian Bay Pier.
When Zhang Laosan asked this question, Gu Panwen suddenly looked over gloomily, "Zhang Laosan, this is not something you should worry about."
They have already thought of their way out.
It was too easy for his third uncle to hand over Gu Ning so easily.
Their Gu family was ruined, and they would not let Gu Jianshe and the others shed their skins. That would be a shame for their kidnapping this time.
Faced with Gu Panwen's gloomy expression, Zhang Laosan's heart suddenly sank, and he became a little more scared and cowered.
Gu Panwen, who could not defeat even the weakest beggar, has completely changed.
He became ruthless and ruthless, and even his savior no longer noticed him.
Gu Panwen didn't notice Zhang Laosan. He ordered him, "Go out and keep an eye on him."
"Load the boats hidden on the island."
Zhang Laosan lowered his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking. He obediently picked up the broken bowl and took a sip of white porridge before leaving the brick factory.
As soon as he leaves.
Gu Ning and Gu Panwen were the only ones left in the brick factory.
Gu Ning closed her eyes tightly as she eavesdropped on all their conversations.
She didn't even know that they had also sent a letter to the Gu family. How anxious the family must be!
However, the top priority was not the time for her to think about these things.
Instead, they want to move her.
According to what they meant, someone had already come to the island to rescue her.
Gave her a glimmer of hope.
But now they want to move her.
Does she still have a chance to escape?
Facing herself tied up like a silkworm chrysalis, Gu Ning despaired for the first time.
No, she couldn't sit still and wait for death.
Facing the people approaching step by step, Gu Ning kept her spirits up.
Gu Panwen, who was next to him, raised Gu Ning's chin and sneered, "Gu Ning, you don't have to pretend."
Gu Ning's raised chin forced her to look at Gu Panwen, her closed eyes suddenly opened, and she said an unrelated topic, "Do you want to know where I made so much money?"
?”
They obviously didn't follow her for a day or two.
Otherwise, we wouldn't know about her bank deposits.
Unless, she follows her to the bank every time to inquire.
As soon as he said this, Gu Panwen wanted to refuse without even thinking, but was stopped by Gu Jianwei, "Panwen, it only costs 10,000 yuan to kidnap Gu Ning. If you really know--" Gu Ning's method of making money.
That's a golden hen that makes money.
Gu Jianwei's words also moved Gu Panwen's heart a little.
Gu Ning licked her lips, with a hint of bewilderment in the corners of her dry mouth, "You can make a million profits, but I will only tell one of you. If you discuss it, who will listen?"
As soon as Gu Ning said this, Gu Jianwei and Gu Panwen immediately became wary of each other.
However, Gu Panwen quickly understood Gu Ning's intentions and sneered, "Gu Ning, you are really good at it."
Without waiting for Gu Jianwei to fight, he put his ear to her and said, "Tell me, maybe I'll spare you this time." He wasn't a man of energy either, and he was still trying to negotiate with Gu Ning at this time.
Gu Ning was not annoyed, she nodded, the moment Gu Panwen put her ear to her.
She exposed her neat white teeth and bit down with lightning speed.
Gu Panwen screamed, "Ahhhhhhh!"
The pain of losing his ear made him miserable.
"Bitch!!!!"
Gu Jianwei stepped forward and pulled him, but the pull was not tight, causing Gu Ning to bite Gu Panwen's ear off.
Gu Ning took a sip and grinned, with red blood and white teeth, and a cold look, "Do you want more?"
Gu Panwen covered his bleeding ears and screamed, "Bitch!"
Before he could finish his words, Gu Ning was slapped on the face. Gu Ning didn't want to dodge and ran into him head on.
Blood was all over him immediately.
This is what she wants.
Gu Panwen was in so much pain that he lost his mind, his face was ferocious and bloody, "Throw her into the lake, throw her into the lake now!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Laosan hurried in and said in a panic, "Come, come, someone is here."
As soon as these words fell.
The whole place fell silent.
Gu Panwen covered his bloody ears. He stared at Gu Ning and said in a sinister tone, "Let's go! Take it away, I can't kill you!"
…
Outskirts of Reed Island.
Zhou Zhiyuan was sitting on a rickety boat, and every shake was a kind of torture for him.
"Are we here yet?"
"Soon."
Zhou Zhiyuan picked up the telescope and saw a small boat parked on the shore in the distance. Next to it, there were three boatmen loading reeds, covered in reed wadding.
The ship is approaching.
He could even see road reeds piled half as high as a man in the middle of the boat. He stood up from the boat and his eyes stayed on the reeds in the middle of the boat for a moment.
The voice was cold, "Comrade, are there many people cutting reeds on the island?"
The moment Zhou Zhiyuan spoke.
Gu Ning, who was stuffed in the middle of the boat, tied up and covered with thick reeds, was a little unbelievable.
Zhou Zhiyuan??
Zhou Zhiyuan came to save her!!!!
Gu Ning's eyes were moist, and she wanted to cry out crazily.
But something was stuffed in her mouth, and when her words came to her lips, they turned into a low, small sound.
Can't shout!
She couldn't shout.
Gu Ning could only clumsily hold his head against the dozens of thick layers of reeds above his head.
