Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 10 Professional Kidnappers
As soon as he answered the phone, he heard Zhu Chaoran's dejected reply. Chen Shu was a little surprised: "Professional kidnappers?"

Since Zhao Hu said in the interrogation room of Zhongshan Police Station that this group of people were professional kidnappers, this is the second time he has heard someone give such high praise to them.

In the past, some criminals have indeed tried to verbally suppress their victims, putting them at least psychologically at a disadvantage, and thus habitually succumbing to their behavior.

Zhu Chaoran returned to the police station with the case investigation index he had prepared and used the police force to conduct a comprehensive investigation. The support behind this was not only the cooperation of the staff in the station, but also the police technical means that were already available.

Logically, even if it's just a mouse, you should be able to find some clues by now, and then hand it over to the police to follow the trail.

A dark cloud seemed to hang over Chen Shu's brow.

"Brother Shu, we checked the accommodation information of all the hotels near Tianjia Garden. We searched the computer information of each person one by one, and none of them were suspected."

We located the kidnapper's phone. There was no data feedback from the cell tower, suggesting the phone may have been switched off or discarded. Call logs show that since its activation, the phone has only made one call to Zhao Hu! There are no call records, no text message records, and no WeChat activity!

The traffic police sent over a list of information from the checkpoints on both sides of Tianjia Garden on Hebin Road that day. After filtering by twelve-hour time periods, there were more than two thousand cars!
The surveillance team is working overtime to check vehicles, but there are just too many. At this rate, even if we work through the night, it will take at least two or three days to check them all!

Zhu Chaoran rattled off the results of his intelligence investigation in one breath, then added hesitantly, "Brother Shu, Li Chaoyang also told me that this case might be under the supervision of the Ministry, and the higher-ups might order us to stop the investigation and transfer it to the Criminal Investigation Division."

This phone call made Chen Shu feel a little uncomfortable.

It felt like two boxers fighting in a ring. The opponent took the initiative, throwing a left hook, a right hook, and even an unexpected knee strike, unleashing a barrage of attacks, each one potentially fatal.

At this moment, Chen Shu could only hide behind his fists, desperately widening his eyes and staring intently at his opponent through the gaps between his gloves, trying to find an opportunity to counterattack by observing the trajectory and path of his opponent's punches.

However, as things stand, he hasn't even found the opportunity to retaliate, let alone have the strength to do so.

"Jingle Bell!"

The moment the bell rang, he suddenly realized that he still hadn't thrown a single punch.

In the first round, the police ultimately lost.

So where are the kidnappers now? How is Liu Yan?

Is it hidden in some corner of the city? Or in the wilderness of the suburbs?

Chen Shu racked his brains, but couldn't come up with a solution. "Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep!"

Three sharp car horns interrupted his thoughts.

Standing by the roadside, Chen Shu walked around to the front of the car to check the license plate, confirming that it was the ride-hailing car he had called. He then walked back to the car door, opened the passenger door, and got in.

"Sir, please go to Zhongshan Police Station. It's over there at the intersection of Gongyuan Road." He didn't look at the driver, but simply pointed in the direction of Gongyuan Road.

"Going to the police station so late? You don't look like an ordinary citizen. Young man, you must be a policeman." The driver, who was looking straight ahead and had his hands on the steering wheel, revealed his identity without thinking.

"Oh? Master, how did you figure that out?" Chen Shu became interested, put down the documents in his hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it over.

You don't have to smoke, and you don't have to know how to smoke, but when you're navigating the world, you absolutely must know how to offer cigarettes. It's an essential social skill you have to learn.

"Hehe, black pants, black leather shoes, and a T-shirt that just doesn't match the color or style at all. He's obviously in a hurry, doing whatever's convenient. No smell of alcohol, and going to the police station so late at night, isn't he obviously a policeman going to work overtime?" the driver said smugly.

"Impressive!" Chen Shu gave the driver a thumbs-up, admitting his admiration. "But why not a prisoner's family member?"

"Hehe, ordinary people going to the police station don't point as skillfully as you do, and you speak so naturally." The driver grinned.

"Amazing! Amazing!" Chen Shu outwardly agreed, but inwardly he felt as if he were standing on the edge of a deep abyss.

In the future, I must be more careful when going out in casual clothes. I can't rush or be convenient by not changing my pants and shoes. Although the driver deduced this conclusion based on his destination, the police station.

Oh, wait a minute! The driver just said, 'Time is of the essence, do whatever is convenient!'
A case under the supervision of the Ministry! That's right! This group of people must be committing crimes while on the move; they must have committed crimes somewhere before! So, at the same time that the kidnapping case occurred in Dongzhou City, the Ministry of Public Security immediately linked the cases together and included Liu Yan's kidnapping case in its supervision.

Furthermore, when these kidnappers called Zhao Hu earlier, they consistently claimed to be professional kidnappers. Without a few successful cases, they probably wouldn't have had the confidence to call themselves professionals. And in Dongzhou City, and even Donghai Province, there hasn't been a single unsolved kidnapping case in recent years.

Thinking of this, Chen Shu's eyes darkened slightly as he recalled the information he had just found using Gaode Maps: two kilometers away from the crime scene, that is, two kilometers east of Tianjia Garden, is the Dongzhou North Expressway!
Criminals are accustomed to committing crimes across different regions. Having already committed multiple crimes, they would undoubtedly be bold enough to drive directly onto the highway after this case, flee to other places, and then carry out the transaction.

There are two reasons why Liu Yan was chosen as the perpetrator:
First, the Lamborghini is usually parked on the side of the main road, which is very conspicuous, and the driver is a woman;
Second, continue east along the riverside road in front of Tianjia Garden for less than two kilometers, and you can directly access the expressway via the cross-river bridge on the north side!
Before the kidnappers can react, we must set up roadblocks on the highway as soon as possible to catch them off guard and perhaps turn the tide!
Amidst the lightning and thunder, Chen Shu understood everything, then took out his phone and dialed Zeng Hong's number.
