"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. I will set off today and go to City C. I will make adequate preparations there first."

Qin Yuan thought for a while and said.

"Okay! We are waiting for your good news in the company."

Qin Yuan returned to his room and packed his things.

There are not many things that you need to bring with you when you go on a long trip. Apart from the invention given by Lin Xiaoxiao, you don't need anything else. The main thing is to think and summarize what happened these days and plan for the next step.

Just a few minutes after Qin Yuan sat down, the phone rang. It was Team Leader Jin.

"Hello, Team Leader Jin?"

"Captain Qin! There's something new!"

The anxious voice of Team Leader Jin came from over there.

"What's wrong?"

"Isn't it Miss Weiwei who was recuperating in the hospital before? She was discharged from the hospital today, but she can't contact her father!"

"What?"

Qin Yuan was confused.

"Where is Weiwei now?"

"Still in the hospital, emotionally unstable! Come here quickly!"

"Okay, I'll go there now."

Qin Yuan hung up the phone and immediately drove to the hospital regardless of his physical fatigue.

When we arrived at the hospital, we went straight to Weiwei's ward.

A lot of people have gathered inside.

There were some police officers, including Team Leader Jin, and a few ordinary citizens, who seemed to be relatives of Weiwei.

Weiwei was lying on the bed with a dull expression and said nothing.

Qin Yuan walked through the crowd and came to Weiwei.

"Weiwei, are you okay? What's going on?"

Qin Yuan said with concern.

"I"

"Lost contact with dad."

After a long while, Weiwei uttered these words.

"Don't be anxious. Speak slowly and make it clear what you know."

Qin Yuan touched Weiwei's forehead and said softly.

"Well, it's like this. Last night was the day before I was discharged from the hospital. I wanted to tell my father the news, but when I called, no one answered."

"I thought maybe he was tired and fell asleep, so he didn't think much about it. This morning, I called him again and found that I still couldn't get through. I was a little anxious and didn't know what to do, so I had to call Jin. The team leader said so."

"Later at noon today, Team Leader Jin really couldn't contact his father, so he sent people to his house to look for someone. However, they found that the building was empty."

Speaking of this, Weiwei shed uncontrollable tears on her face.

"Have you been in contact with him before? Did the situation arise just yesterday?"

Qin Yuan asked.

"That's right. He came to care about my condition every day before, but suddenly disappeared without any reason, so I was very worried."

There was a trace of deep worry in Weiwei's crystal clear eyes.

Qin Yuan nodded silently.

Then he fell into deep thought.

"Did you find anything when you went to the old man's house?"

Qin Yuan turned around and asked Team Leader Jin on the side.

"Well, everything in the house is neat, all valuables are there, and the door locks are in good condition. It doesn't look like there are any signs of theft or robbery."

This is strange.

According to his understanding of the old man, he was very polite in dealing with others and had no enemies. So, if he didn't come here for money, what was the reason for abducting the old man?

"Without further ado, let's go to his house and have a look."

Qin Yuan said.

"Okay, we'll leave right away."

"Weiwei, please stay here and wait for our news. You'll be back soon."

Qin Yuan comforted Weiwei.

"Well, I'm optimistic about you!"

Weiwei said.

Afterwards, Qin Yuan and Team Leader Jin left the hospital and drove to Weiwei's home.

Weiwei's hometown is located on the edge of the city, in the garden of a farmhouse.

Although it is located on the outskirts of the city, this is the most luxurious building nearby, a five-story self-built villa building, very grand.

The two of them led several police officers to the door of the villa.

Because of the eucalyptus, Team Leader Jin arranged for police officers to set up a fence around the building.

The two passed through the door and entered the house.

This is a retro architectural building. The style inside is imitating European architectural style, which is very gorgeous and grand.

An old woman wearing a maid's costume was crying softly at the door.

Team leader Jin told Qin Yuan that this was the housekeeper of the villa, who was extremely sad because the master was missing.

Qin Yuan observed all the way from the entrance hall to the lobby and found nothing unusual. The objects were neat and placed in a reasonable position.

Everything was normal, the cutlery on the table was wiped to a shiny finish, and the chairs and sofas were also very clean.

It can be seen that Weiwei's father is a very clean person.

This scene makes it difficult to imagine that this is a house without an owner.

Qin Yuan and Team Leader Jin came to the second floor to inspect.

On the second floor is the room of Weiwei and the old man.

The housekeeper followed the two, and Qin Yuan asked her:

"Auntie, when did you discover that your master was missing?"

The maid touched the tears on her face and whispered: "I'm not sure either.

. "

"What I'm sure of is that the master talked to me last night. I got up to make breakfast this morning, but when the breakfast was ready, I didn't see the master yet, because usually in the morning the master would be there before I made breakfast. I’ve already gotten up to exercise.”

"I felt very strange, so I went to his room to check, but his door was always closed. No matter how I called, no one responded.

"In the end I called the police as a last resort."

Having said this, the housekeeper couldn't hide the sadness on her face and burst into tears again.

"Comrade policeman, my grandpa doesn't know how to do it"

"Auntie, don't worry. We're still not sure about the old man's condition. Don't be too sad. We will do our best to search."

"The key is that you have to cooperate with our work, do you understand?"

Team Leader Jin comforted.

"Okay."

"About what time did you last see the old man last night?"

"Around 11 o'clock, because my usual habit is that before he goes to bed, I will go to the door of his room to check the hanging lights in the corridor, and then turn them off before going back to sleep."

"Usually when I get to his door, I say good night and he responds politely, so I know he's still in the room."

The housekeeper said seriously.

"When did you wake up in the morning and find that the master was not inside?"

"Around eight o'clock."

replied the housekeeper.

"Then what is certain is that the time when the old man disappeared was between 11 o'clock last night and 8 o'clock this morning."

Team Leader Jin said.

"Is there a camera at the door of the old man's room?"

Qin Yuan asked.

"Yes, but I don't know why. When the police came to extract it today, the camera mysteriously failed."

Team Leader Kim replied.

"Are there any signs of being tampered with again?"

Qin Yuan asked.

"No. We have investigated and it seems that something interfered with the signal. Except for last night's video, the other time periods are intact."

"It seems like this was a premeditated kidnapping."

Qin Yuan frowned.

It's such a pity that an important clue has been broken.

"Is there anything unusual about the old man's state these past two days? Or has he said anything noteworthy?"

Qin Yuan continued to ask the housekeeper.

The housekeeper frowned, lowered her head and thought carefully.

Then he said slowly:

“There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly different.”

"Wait! Although there is nothing special about it, when I was doing my routine cleaning of the hall two days ago, I discovered that one of the decorative vases in the living room is missing."

murmured the housekeeper.

"One vase is missing?"

Team Leader Jin frowned.

"Well, these two vases are my favorite. They were a birthday gift from my wife to me before she died. That's why I pay so much attention to them."

"This is an important clue."

Team Leader Jin looked at Qin Yuan and said.

Qin Yuan nodded.

"Do you know approximately when they disappeared?"

"I'm pretty sure about this. He probably disappeared during the day yesterday."

"Because I went out to buy groceries around three o'clock in the afternoon, and these two vases were placed in a conspicuous position in the hall. I would take a look at them before going out, so I can be sure that I was there before three o'clock yesterday afternoon. I saw them, but when I came back at five o’clock, one of them was gone.”

"So, the master took one of them away between three and five o'clock yesterday afternoon."

The housekeeper said with certainty.

"Yes. Let's go to the site to check."

With that said, Qin Yuan and Team Leader Jin came to the lobby on the first floor together and came to the location of the missing vase.

There are indeed signs of moving things in this location. The floor where the vase is located is obviously whiter than other floors.

There are still some traces of moved dust on the ground.

Unfortunately, after these clues, there is nothing else.

"Can human footprints be detected outside?"

Team Leader Jin asked the police officer on the side.

"Yes, there are, but they are some scattered footprints that extend all the way to the fields outside, but when they get there, the footprints are washed away by the muddy soil."

Several police officers replied.

Team Leader Jin was silent, the clue was broken again.

But the two of them would definitely not give up. Thinking of Weiwei's longing eyes, Qin Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of exploration in his heart.

As long as it is a human being, it will definitely leave some clues, and no one can do it perfectly.

Qin Yuan's mind began to spin rapidly.

I started to think about every detail of this incident.

The old man’s cell phone!

A flash of inspiration flashed in Qin Yuan's mind!

In any case, the old man’s mobile phone is definitely a big breakthrough!

"Does Lao Yezi always have the habit of carrying a mobile phone with him?"

Qin Yuan asked the housekeeper.

"Well, because the lady has been out of town during this period, the master likes to bring his mobile phone with him so that he can contact the lady easily."

replied the housekeeper.

"!Captain Qin! What do you mean?

. "

"That's right, let's start with mobile phones."

Qin Yuan smiled.

If the old man is in a dangerous situation, then his mobile phone is an important tool for him to call for help. "

"No matter what, we can get key clues through the mobile phone-either the location of the old man, or clues about the suspect."

Qin Yuan said.

Team Leader Jin once again arranged for the police to call the old man's phone number.

This time, it shows the shutdown status.

"Go back to the police station immediately and start investigating the relevant GPRS location of the old man's mobile phone number!"

Team Leader Jin immediately ordered.

Several people returned to the police station vigorously and resolutely.

In the information security network system of the Technology Department, the location of the old man's mobile phone number was found.

The location is in a remote location on the outskirts of the city, not far from the old man's home, only more than a kilometer away.

Qin Yuan and Team Leader Jin rushed to the scene again.

As Qin Yuan expected, the scene was an abandoned bridge in the countryside.

After professional technical survey and everyone's efforts, more than an hour later, everyone found the old man's mobile phone in the soil under the bridge.

It looked like it had been deliberately dumped here by gangsters to prevent it from being tracked.

Everyone checked the surrounding environment and things again.

Sure enough, after everyone's unremitting efforts, an important clue was finally discovered!

About a few meters away from the old man's mobile phone, I found an extinguished cigarette butt!

Several people were very surprised and immediately returned to the police station.

After investigation, it was determined that the cigarette butt was extinguished and thrown here about a day ago.

This time basically coincides with the time when the old man disappeared!

Moreover, the DNA extracted from the cigarette butt did not belong to the old man, but to an unknown person.

This means that it is very likely to be the DNA of this prisoner!

During the in-depth investigation, another more exciting new discovery was made!

The DNA on the cigarette butt matched perfectly with the DNA of a person with a criminal record in the DNA bank in the police station!

This man's name is Zhou Yang, he is twenty-eight years old, and he is an unemployed vagrant. However, what is puzzling is that he and the old man do not know each other at all. They are just two completely unrelated people, which makes people completely confused. His motive.

However, Team Leader Jin did not hesitate when he entered the group and immediately ordered the arrest overnight!

Soon, the armed police were dispatched and captured the suspect in one fell swoop while the other party was still sleeping!

Zhou Yang was crushed by a police car and taken to the police station overnight.

Arriving at the interrogation room, Zhou Yang strongly denied the incident at first, and he did not know Weiwei or her old man.

However, when the police produced the irrefutable evidence, Zhou Yang fell silent.

Finally, under the persuasion of Qin Yuan and Team Leader Jin, Zhou Yang's psychological defense completely collapsed and he told the truth.

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here]

It turned out that Zhou Yang was instructed by a mysterious person to use the safety of his daughter Weiwei over the phone to divert the old man out of the house, kidnapped him, and sent him to a location designated by the other party. After paying, I got my reward and went home.

"Is it just a chess piece?"

After hearing this, Qin Yuan frowned.

What kind of person would want to kidnap an old man who has nothing against them? What is his purpose?

Doubts couldn't help but slowly arise in Qin Yuan's heart.
