Dormitory of Zhongshan Police Station, Zhengming District Branch, Dongzhou Public Security Bureau.
"Didi!"
The cell phone rang suddenly, and Chen Shu, who was sleeping in bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He reached out to touch the mobile phone on the bedside table and scanned the screen with half-open eyes.
Huh? Yesterday, two drunken men came to fight in the middle of the night on duty. They were busy all night. They just finished the handover this morning and were ready to catch up on some sleep. Why did Professor Zeng call again? It couldn't be that something happened... He thought in confusion.
Then, he answered the phone.
Zeng Jiao, whose real name is Zeng Hong, is 51 years old, instructor of Zhongshan Police Station, full rank, and leader on duty today.
"Hey. Zeng Jiao, what's going on?"
"We just received a report, saying that his wife was kidnapped. Xiao Ma has already gone to pick her up. She can be brought back to the police station in about twenty minutes. You come to my office first."
"Well, okay. I'll be there right away."
Chen Shu was about to hang up the phone when he had an idea and asked cautiously: "When Ma Ming went to pick up someone, he was driving a hitchhiker and wearing casual clothes, right?"
"You brat, you are the only one who can do it! Do you still need to talk about these things? Come here quickly!"
After putting down the phone, Chen Shu sat up straight, raised his right hand and knocked on the bed board of the upper bunk: "Fat man, get up. Go out to work."
The upper bed board didn't move at all, and the snoring continued.
The two crazy drunks last night were finally subdued by the fat man one by one. He was probably very tired.
Chen Shu knocked a little harder twice: "I'll go over first. You can sleep for a while before getting up and waiting for me in the duty hall."
"Um"
The sound of wooden boards creaking when the fat man turned over could be heard on the upper bunk, and then there was no sound again.
Within a few minutes, Chen Shu took out a clean police uniform from the closet and dressed neatly.
He glanced at the fat man who was still sleeping soundly on the upper bunk, smiled and shook his head, took the small alarm clock on the bedside table, set the time, put it on the desk a little away from the bed, opened the door and left.
On the third floor of the office building of Zhongshan Police Station, the instructor's office.
Chen Shu sat upright on the chair, reached for the tea cup with white smoke in front of him, and drank the tea in one gulp: "It has a good refreshing effect!"
"Aren't you afraid of being burned?" Zeng Hong was a little worried about the tea he had brewed so hard, and he just drank it in one gulp.
"I didn't pay attention." Chen Shu put down the teacup, wiped his mouth and replied with a smile.
"How can anyone drink tea like this! This is the old white tea from Fujian Province!" Zeng Hong felt a little distressed and couldn't help but preach.
Chen Shu nodded repeatedly with a serious expression: "Zeng taught me well and was right."
After being teased like this, Zeng Hong's depressed mood due to the kidnapping case seemed to be a little better. He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said in a deep voice:
"You were on duty all night last night and didn't sleep all night. I didn't want to wake you up at first. But I guess this case is not simple, so you should work hard and pick up the case."
In recent years, most of the criminal cases at the Zhongshan Institute have been handled by Chen Shu. Including daily public security administrative cases, large and small, as long as he handles them, there is no case that cannot be solved.
Chen Shu touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Teacher Zeng, if it is illegal detention, I have no problem. If it is really a kidnapping case as mentioned by the reporter, I suggest that it be handed over to the Criminal Court."
Zeng Hong nodded in agreement: "I'll ask Xiao Wang from the duty room to say hello to the Xingda duty room first. You and Xiao Li go and make a record of the reporter's first interview. We'll take a look at the situation before proceeding.
Decide. Well, I will also go to the observation room next door later."
"Okay. I guess the person who reported the crime should have arrived at the station. I'll go down right now."
Chen Shu stood up and gently placed the teacup he had just finished drinking on the tea table beside him: "Good tea."
Zhongshan Police Station, duty hall.
The duty hall on the first floor of the police station no longer has the noise of the past. Even though people are coming and going and whispering, the solemn atmosphere in the hall cannot be concealed. The occasional harsh phone ring stops at the first sound.
.
The police officers passing by seemed to be aware of the different seriousness in the hall, and they couldn't help but slow down and look around with their eyes wide open.
And everyone’s final focus was behind the police reception desk.
The inquiry room in the innermost room.
Chen Shu turned his head and asked an extremely young policeman sitting next to him: "Chaoyang, what do you think?"
The young man named Chaoyang is Li Chaoyang, a policeman who graduated from the Provincial Police Academy with Chen Shu and works in the security strike team of Zhongshan Police Station.
Li Chaoyang's face was ashen: "Brother, I think it's a kidnapping."
Chen Shu glanced at the name of the person being questioned on the transcript, picked up a half-length photo of a woman on the table, and opened his mouth to verify the case: "Zhao Hu, tell me, what is the specific situation?"
The woman in the photo is nearly forty years old, with big eyes, an oval face, and curly hair. She has a pair of Chanel earrings hanging on both sides of her ears, a Bulgari necklace hanging on her chest, and her upper body is covered with luxury brand logos.
GUCCI jacket, short and thin figure, contrasting sharply with the wealth and aura of the whole body.
Zhao Hu, as the name suggests, is broad and strong, but his sitting posture is unstable and he twists and turns. His eyes are erratic and he speaks intermittently. It takes him a long time to say a sentence, and his face is bright and dark, and he looks like he has a lot of worries.
.
He sat in front of two tall and burly policemen, his huge body slumped in the large-backed chair. Under the direct light of the pale light in the interrogation room, he tilted his head slightly and recalled:
"Last night, around one o'clock, oh, maybe around two o'clock, I came home after drinking with friends, and found that my wife was not at home, and the phone was turned off when I called her. But she might be at home, but just sleeping.
In the guest room, she is probably worried that my late return home will affect her rest."
Zhao Hu spoke intermittently, then suddenly stopped, glanced at the policeman secretly, and found that he did not ask further questions, so he hurriedly continued:
"I didn't bother to dig into it in the middle of the night, and I really wanted to go back to the bedroom to sleep. I also wanted to call my wife later, or go to the next door room to have a look, but I drank too much last night and fell asleep again in a daze.
"
"When was the last time I contacted or saw your wife?" Chen Shu asked.
"I contacted her once at around four o'clock yesterday afternoon. It must have been..." Zhao Hu said as he took out his mobile phone and checked the call history. "Hmm, it was ten minutes to five. She called me and asked if I was coming home.
Eating. I said I was drinking with friends and would not go home to eat. Then she told me that she would also go out for a walk later. I have been unable to contact my wife since then."
Chen Shu went straight to the core of the problem: "Why did you say someone kidnapped your wife?"
"I received a call from the kidnapper around ten o'clock this morning. He told me that my wife was in their hands. He asked me to prepare a ransom of 10 million within two days, and he would contact me later for other matters."
As soon as Zhao Hu finished speaking, Chen Shu's heart skipped a beat.
Depriving others of their personal freedom due to non-debt and non-economic disputes. It seems that it is indeed a kidnapping case. Chen Shu nodded slightly towards the monitor in the corner of the ceiling of the interrogation room, which was connected to the observation room next door.
