Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 349 A Threatening Letter
When Chen Hao entered the room, he didn't turn on the lights, so the room was dark, with only the light from the bedroom shining through.

Cai Xiaojing turned on the light on the entrance wall, and Luo Rui quickly pulled the gun from his waist and entered the house very quickly.

It's not that he thinks too much, but because he has experienced several kidnappings and assassinations, the reaction of his muscles and brain suddenly raises his adrenaline.

While Chen Hao was checking on the old lady, Luo Rui had already checked the other two bedrooms, not even the bathroom and kitchen.

At this time, Cai Xiaojing had already entered the house and was checking the windows and balcony.

Luo Rui was standing in the living room and was about to put away his gun when he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps.

After a moment, a figure appeared at the door.

Luo Rui pointed the gun directly over.

A young face appeared outside the door. He was wearing a school uniform and had a schoolbag on his shoulders.

This person was none other than Chen Ma who had just returned from school. He was startled and swallowed his saliva.

Luo Rui had an impression of him. When he first moved to Guangxing City, Chen Hao brought his family to visit him.

"It's you." Luo Rui put away the gun.

But the boy didn't look at him, but stared at the bedroom diagonally opposite.

Chen Haozheng picked up the old lady and put her on the bed.

Luo Rui followed and asked: "How is it? Auntie, is she okay?"

"It's nothing serious, I just fainted." Chen Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead. He turned around and saw Chen Ma standing outside the bedroom door.

"dad……"

Chen Hao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

Cai Xiaojing had already picked up the letter from the floor and handed it to Chen Hao: "This must have been slipped in from under the door by someone."

Chen Hao's hand froze in mid-air. He did not take the letter, but looked at Chen Ma: "Where's your mother?"

"I……"

Chen Ma couldn't answer, and he didn't know what was going on. The black-faced man suddenly pointed a gun at him, and he was so scared that he was confused and had no idea what was going on.

"I'm asking you a question!" Chen Hao's tone became heavier, staring at his son.

"In the morning, my mother delivered the clothes and then went back."

"So you're still wearing the same shirt you were wearing this morning? You asshole!"

Chen Hao raised his hand, but Luo Rui held it back: "Don't get angry, read the letter first."

But Chen Hao's eyes always avoided the letter in Cai Xiaojing's hand. He took out his mobile phone and called Chen Shuhui.

"Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off..."

"Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off..."

Chen Hao made several calls in a row, but still couldn't get through.

His forehead was covered with sweat. He ran to the entrance, checked the shoe cabinet, and checked the shoulder bag that Chen Shuhui usually carried when she went out.

He searched everywhere, cursing his son, but he just didn't want to face the letter.

Luo Rui looked at his back, sighed, and took the envelope from Cai Xiaojing.

Because there might be fingerprints on the envelope, he twisted the edge of the envelope and pulled out a piece of white paper folded in half.

After opening it, there was a sentence written on it: [Team Chen, release He Tianxiang before 8 o'clock tomorrow night. If you don't obey, you know the consequences! ]

Luo Rui's pupils shrank, and he and Cai Xiaojing looked at each other.

Chen Ma also leaned over and after seeing the contents of the letter, the schoolbag on his shoulder suddenly slipped to the ground and he froze in place.

The room was deathly silent, with only the sound of Chen Hao rummaging through the entrance cabinet.

Seeing that he didn't care about the letter at all, Luo Rui shouted loudly: "Chen Hao!"

"Chen Hao! Stop turning over!"

"Captain Chen!" Cai Xiaojing also shouted.

Chen Hao had his back to them, his body stiffened. He turned around, a smile appeared on his face, and he raised the car keys in his hand: "My wife went out and took the umbrellas at home. I think she will be back soon. You guys sit down first, I'll go out to look for her."

"Chen Hao!"

Luo Rui walked over and pressed his shoulder: "Calm down. I'm telling you now, sister-in-law... Chen Shuhui is being held hostage. This letter was sent by the kidnappers. They are threatening you to release He Tianxiang before 8 o'clock tomorrow night. Do you understand?!"

"How is it possible?" Chen Hao shook his head: "How did they find out that I live here? No way, no way..."

Luo Rui took a deep breath and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Cai Xiaojing and said thoughtfully, "Notify all the leaders of the Municipal Bureau immediately, report to the Provincial Department, call the technical team over, and notify everyone in our criminal team to come over.

Everyone should wear plain clothes and carry guns. Do not drive police cars and enter the community in a dispersed manner.

This is an act of revenge against the police family members. We will investigate this kidnapping and hostage-taking incident on the largest scale, at the highest level, and at the highest level!"

"Okay, I'll call right away!" Cai Xiaojing did not dare to delay and quickly took out her mobile phone.

Chen Hao froze in place, his mind going blank.

During all these years as a police officer, his brain had been working from morning to night, investigating clues and catching suspects. His brain had never stopped for a moment, but at this moment, his brain was dead.

Chen Ma finally reacted and shouted, "Dad, my mom..."

Chen Hao looked at his son with no expression on his face.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I..." Chen Ma was still shouting.

Luo Rui could hear what Chen Hao had said in the car before: every family has its own problems. It seemed that Chen Hao really had his own difficulties. Chen Ma was in the sensitive period of adolescence, which really caused a lot of trouble for the couple.

At this time, Chen Hao was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking a little at a loss. Even though he had been solving cases for many years, he had never encountered a family member being kidnapped and held hostage by criminals. For a moment, he seemed to be at a loss.

The calmest person now was Luo Rui. He was not idle. Instead, he pressed Chen Ma down on the sofa, then pulled over a chair and sat opposite him.

"Chen Ma, look at me!"

Chen Ma's eyes were dull, just like his father, in a daze.

Luo Rui reached out and gently scratched his face to straighten his head.

"Come on, look me in the eye! I heard your dad say earlier that your mom went to school this morning to bring you clothes, right?"

"Yes." Chen Ma answered immediately.

"What time?"

"Just finished the first class."

"What time exactly?"

"This morning at 9:15."

"and then?"

"I..." Chen Ma's eyes suddenly turned red: "I didn't take the clothes. My mother handed the clothes to the security room, and then she left."

"Did you see her leave?"

"I, I didn't see it..." At this point, Chen Ma finally burst into tears: "I deserve to die, I'm a bastard, Dad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Chen Ma cried bitterly and lowered his head.

Chen Hao looked numb standing aside. He hadn't even taken a puff of the cigarette he had just lit, and most of the ash had already burned away.

Luo Rui pondered for a while, then stood up and took out his cell phone.

He first called Tian Guanghan, who lived closer to the school. Luo Rui knew that his daughter also attended this school.

"Old Tian, ​​call Yang Bo and ask him to contact the local police station with you to check the surveillance at the school gate and find the school security captain to ask the mother who delivered clothes to the school gate this morning to find out where she went."

Tian Guanghan was halfway through his meal, still holding chopsticks in his hand: "Team Leader, what happened?"

"Team Leader Chen's wife has been kidnapped by criminals. Yang Bo will tell you the details. You have to act quickly. Do you understand?"

Tian Guanghan's chopsticks fell on the table. His wife was putting food into his bowl. "What's wrong?"

Tian Guanghan stood up, picked up the clothes hanging on the hanger and rushed out. Just as he was about to go out, he immediately ran back into the house.

"Well, there is a case, it's quite urgent. When you go to bed at night, lock the doors and windows. Be careful about safety. Don't open the door if anyone knocks. Do you understand?"

His wife was frightened by him: "What's the matter? You just came back and you're still working so late at night. If you ask me, you should stop being a police officer. I'm your father's only daughter anyway, and his factory will be handed over to you sooner or later."

"If the families of police officers all think like you, who will protect the ordinary people in millions of households?"

As he spoke, Tian Guanghan put on his clothes and changed into a pair of lighter shoes. The wife of Green Ghost Chen Hao was kidnapped by criminals. Such a big case would definitely take several days to handle.

Just as he was about to go out, his daughter, who was doing homework in the room, came out.

"Dad."

Tian Guanghan turned around and asked: "What's wrong?"

The daughter clenched her fist and waved at him: "Come on!"

"Come on!" Tian Guanghan nodded with a loving smile on his face.

……

……

On the other hand, Luo Rui called Du Feng again and asked him to bring people immediately to investigate in and outside Fengyuan Community where Chen Hao lived, to see if he could find out any strangers who had appeared in the community recently and whether any strangers had asked about the house number of Chen Hao's home.

In addition, Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan also received calls. Their task was to retrieve the surveillance cameras in and around the community, organize personnel to review the video content in a timely manner, and investigate the location where Chen Shuhui’s mobile phone signal last disappeared.

After Luo Rui put down the phone, he put his hands on his hips and thought, then looked at Chen Hao: "Captain Chen, do you think there is anything missing?"

The cigarette in Chen Hao's hand had burned out. He threw the butt to the ground and crushed it hard with his foot.

"Go back to the Municipal Bureau!" He gritted his teeth and prepared to walk out of the room, but then turned back and stared at Chen Ma: "You stay at home and take good care of your grandma."

Chen Ma nodded, not daring to look him in the eye: "Dad..."

"Don't call me dad!" Chen Hao shouted angrily, "I will bring your mother back. If you want to apologize, wait until she comes back and apologize to her!"

Luo Rui looked at Cai Xiaojing and said, "Captain Cai, you stay here and wait for the technical team to come."

"Okay, please be safe."

"I will, keep in touch!"

"keep in touch!"

Luo Rui went downstairs and snatched Chen Hao's keys: "Wait a minute, we can't go to the Municipal Bureau now!"

"Give me the key. I need to interrogate that bastard He Tianxiang. Only from him can I find out the whereabouts of my wife."

"Why?" Luo Rui confronted him, "He Tianxiang was arrested three days ago. It is still unknown whether he knew about the kidnapping carried out by his accomplices. If you rashly go to the Municipal Bureau now, it will only alert the enemy and do no good at all."

"Then I can't just watch my wife being held hostage by them! Luo Rui, do you understand? My wife was kidnapped by these bastards. She is now in danger of death!" Luo Rui walked over and held his shoulders: "Chen Hao, do you remember what you said to me before?"

"Don't tell me this!" Chen Hao opened his hand.

"As a criminal policeman, the most important thing is to learn to control your emotions and not let yourself become a demon. You will see crimes that ordinary people will never see in their lifetime, and you will want to stab the murderer to death!

Chen Hao, this is what you warned me before I became a policeman.

Listen to me, you must stay calm now, staying rational is the most important thing!"

"How can I stay rational? It's my wife who was held hostage by the criminals, not your girlfriend, Luo Rui. How can you ask me to stay rational?"

Luo Rui held his shoulders again: "Believe me! Sister-in-law must be fine, we will definitely rescue her!"

Chen Hao's eyes were red as he stared at him coldly.

Luo Rui said: "You have to hold on, don't let this gang of criminals defeat you. Once you are defeated by them, even if you rescue my sister-in-law, you will really become a ghost."

"I understand!" Chen Hao took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and forced himself to calm down: "I'll listen to you."

Hearing this, Luo Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out his cell phone and called Fang Yonghui and Lin Chen.

"Hey, where are you now?"

It was Lin Chen who responded: "Team Leader, we will be there soon, and we will be with the technical team."

"Where did you start from?"

Lin Chen replied: "The technical team came from the Municipal Bureau, but they were all in plain clothes and drove an ordinary van."

"Will it attract other people's attention?"

"Please wait a moment. I'll ask them."

After a moment, Lin Chen said on the other end of the phone: "No problem. When Captain Cai called us, the technical team had all gone off work. Only one car drove out with the equipment, and the others all left from home."

"Well, you and Yonghui will return to the Municipal Bureau immediately and tell the Liao Kang Liao Detachment about this news. Their people are good at disguise. Tell him to organize a hundred plainclothes officers for me and spread them around the Municipal Bureau to check for any suspicious persons around the Municipal Bureau!"

"Okay, I understand, I'll do it now!"

When Luo Rui heard Lin Chen calling out to Fang Yonghui to drive, he immediately turned around.

When Chen Hao, who was standing by, heard Luo Rui's arrangement, he immediately understood the other party's suspicion.

"You suspect these people..."

Luo Rui threw the key in his hand to him: "Let's go back to the Municipal Bureau!"

……

……

Municipal police interrogation room.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening. After resting for six hours, He Tianxiang was taken into the interrogation room again.

The police officer on duty pressed him into the interrogation chair and then put handcuffs and shackles on him.

He yawned and looked nonchalant.

At this time, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and He Tianxiang saw the middle-aged criminal policeman who had been interrogating him walked in. The other party's eyes were red, and he stared at him, as if he wanted to swallow him in one bite.

He Tianxiang blinked and saw another person walking in.

The man was very tall, with a dark complexion and a crew cut. His eyes were like those of a prey animal, giving people a chill.

He Tianxiang had never seen this person before, but he had been in society for so many years that he knew at a glance that the other party must be a criminal policeman. However, the smell emanating from his body was very different, even more ferocious than those murderous gangsters!

Suddenly, He Tianxiang's pupils contracted and he became defensive.

Sure enough, the middle-aged detective who interrogated him at the beginning did not say a word, but leaned against the wall, staring at him.

Instead, the young criminal police officer stepped forward and said, "He Tianxiang, my name is Luo Rui. You are from Sichuan Province, so you probably haven't heard of my name, but that's not important. I just want you to understand that as long as you tell me about your accomplices and what you have done, I promise to give you a chance to live."

Hearing this, He Tianxiang smiled and said, "Officer, don't lie to me. I don't know your tricks. The camera is not turned on. What you say doesn't count at all!"

"You're quite smart." Luo Rui nodded to the police officer on duty, who quickly set up the camera.

He Tianxiang said, "Even if that's the case, I won't cooperate! After all, I've been in the underworld for so many years, and I've already understood one thing: sooner or later, I'll all die. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."

Luo Rui sneered: "Well, you think clearly. Since you don't plan to confess, it's okay. We won't force you. I remember that you shot and killed two people, and the other party had no grudges against you. Did you just listen to the words of the eldest brother and kill them?"

"What's wrong?"

"Is it worth it?"

"This is called loyalty. I don't care whether it's worth it or not. Anyway, I killed the man, so I admit it." He Tianxiang still seemed nonchalant.

"Well!"

Luo Rui didn't waste any more time talking to him: "The police from Sichuan Province have arrived. You will be transferred back to the local police station tomorrow at the latest. Your leader has been sentenced to death, and he is waiting to reunite with you."

"We came here tonight just to see if you have anything else to tell us. After all, you came to Guangxing City specifically, you definitely didn't come here for tourism, right?

But it doesn’t matter. There are cases every day. One more or one less doesn’t make any difference.”

After saying that, Luo Rui looked at the police officer on duty and said, "Take the man away."

"Yes!"

He Tianxiang was a little confused. He thought he was going to be interrogated for another long time because he was woken up in the middle of the night. However, the other party finished his question in a few words, as if he hadn't asked anything.

But that’s not the case. At least the criminal policeman named Luo in front of him told him that he would be transferred back to the public security bureau in his hometown tomorrow.

What awaits him is undoubtedly the death penalty.

The expression on He Tianxiang's face was uncertain, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end he said nothing.

After the person was taken away, Luo Rui turned off the camera and looked at Chen Hao: "He didn't know."

"How did you tell?"

“When you came in just now, he just glanced at you. After that, he didn’t pay any attention to you. If He Tianxiang knew that his accomplices outside had carried out the kidnapping, he would not have ignored you.

Captain Chen, think about it, when you were interrogating him for the past three days, did he say anything strange? Or did he remind you of something? "

Chen Hao thought about it for a long time and shook his head, "No, he didn't give me any hints. I didn't find anything wrong with him."

Luo Rui pondered and said, "That should be the case. He Tianxiang didn't know that his accomplices outside wanted to save him. Ordinary criminals, even if their boss was caught by our police, would not dare to kidnap the family members of police officers. Why do they dare to do so?
If you're talking about loyalty, I don't believe it!"

"Luo Rui, stop analyzing with me. Just tell me, what should we do now?" Chen Hao shouted excitedly.

Luo Rui was about to speak when he heard a voice coming from outside the door: "Chen Hao, I'm telling you, don't act on impulse."

The two men looked outside the door and saw Hu Changyu and a group of leaders walking into the interrogation room.

"Chen Hao, from now on, I will grant you a month's vacation. Don't worry about this case anymore."

Hearing this, Chen Hao immediately said, "Director Hu, no, I must participate in this case. The person who was kidnapped is my wife!"

"Family members should avoid directly interfering in the investigation of the case or trying to influence the results of the investigation. This may not only violate the law, but may also complicate the handling of the case. You have been a criminal police officer for so many years and are the captain of a detachment. Why don't you know this?"

Chen Hao's face turned red and he punched the wall hard.

Hu Changyu continued, "I have called Directors Wei Qunshan and Tang Zhiguo, and Luo Rui and his criminal team have been transferred to the Municipal Bureau to assist in the investigation of this case.

I now appoint Luo Rui as the deputy team leader of this special task force, and I will be the team leader. We must do our best to arrest this criminal gang at any cost and rescue the families of our police officers!"

"Yes!" Luo Rui agreed.

Chen Hao squatted in the corner, staring into the void with lifeless eyes...

……

……

It's twelve o'clock at night.

Guangxing City, an unfinished building in the north of the city.

This large area of ​​unfinished buildings covers a vast area. The buildings are exposed to the wind on all sides and stand on the edge of the old city renovation.

Looking down from the night sky, there are neon light strips all around, but this area is pitch dark and you can't see your hand in front of you.

If a satellite happened to capture this scene, swooping down from high to far, it would be able to see a ray of light shining through the green plastic sheet on the second floor of the innermost concrete building.

There was a barbecue grill on the cement floor. Two men sat on the ground, holding a skewer of grilled meat in one hand, taking a bite, and then taking a sip of icy beer.

"Meng, when will Brother Qiang and the others come back?"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Eat your meat!"

The little guy swallowed a mouthful of beer and wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeve: "Hey, you can't ask this or that. No, when are we going to leave by boat?"

"You haven't even got the money yet, and you still want to leave? Even if you get out, you can't live freely without money!"

"If it doesn't work, let's kidnap another one. Damn it, do we really have to rescue that old ghost?"

"You talk nonsense. How many rich people can come up with a ransom of 100 million? Don't worry, we didn't kill anyone, the police won't take us seriously." The man named Lao Meng took a bite of the skewer and pointed to the bedroom next to him with a bamboo stick: "Go and bring some food to the two people inside."

The little guy stood up and took a handful of grilled chicken wings from the barbecue grill.

"You're crazy, you fed them too much, they'll start to scream, right?"

The little guy looked aggrieved: "Oh, then I'll give them one string each, is that ok?"

Old Meng nodded and lowered his head to drink.

The little man walked into the bedroom. The room he was hiding in was unfinished and drafty. Fortunately, the weather was not too cold, otherwise he would have frozen to death.

It is called a bedroom, but in fact it is just a cement room without a door.

The short man walked into the room and saw two people with their hands and feet tied with ropes. Before, the two people were staying in separate corners, but now they were back to back.

He was a little suspicious, but didn't think much about it.

Walking closer, he handed the skewer of meat to the woman.

"Here, I've brought you some food. Let me make it clear first. I'm going to take the sock out of your mouth. Don't scream again, or else Old Meng will get angry again. If he hits you, I won't help to persuade him. Do you understand?"

The woman stared at him and nodded. Her face was dirty and covered with sweat, and her left foot was covered with scars and blood.

The short man squatted down, stretched out his hand, helped her take the sock out of her mouth, and advised: "Don't blame us. Everyone has their own way to go. Our way is to take the money and go abroad. As long as the matter is done, we will naturally let you go. Brother Qiang said that we don't kill people..."

Before he could finish his words, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that the woman actually stretched out a hand from behind.

The little guy's pupils shrank: "You..."

Before he could finish his words, he turned his head and hit him hard on the forehead...
