Chapter 416 Fang Lan was kidnapped

He called Fang Lan again, but still no one answered the call.

When he walked to the parking lot, he found that there were only a few cars left. Several cars had already started and drove away. Lin Chen had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he quickened his pace and chased after the last car...

He hurriedly posted a message in the team's chat group.

In the past, he was always the one who quietly lurked, occasionally slacked off, and rarely spoke in the group. But this time, he made an exception.

"Has anyone seen Fang Lan?" he asked in typing.

Soon, people in the group responded one after another.

"The last time I saw her she was on her way to the parking lot."

"I didn't see her. Is she still busy?"

Then, Lin Chen described his concerns and situation in detail.

"I've been calling her but no one's answering for quite some time. What was her condition like when you last saw her? It's getting late now and I'm really worried."

Lin Chen's words made people in the group start to take this matter seriously.

"What's going on? This is so wrong!"

"I saw her walking towards the parking lot with my own eyes and we chatted for a while. I was sure that she had nothing else to do at the time but to go to the parking lot."

"I just called her, but no one answered."

……

As information continued to accumulate, the atmosphere in the group became increasingly tense. Everyone became anxious and worried like Lin Chen.

Before I knew it, the sky had completely darkened.

While people in the group were still coming up with ideas and some were even preparing to drive out to look for it, Lin Chen had already started to modify the equipment in his hands.

He took out the mechanical spider he had used before from the car. This time, he added flying propellers and thermal imaging devices to it, and also expanded the sensing range to five kilometers.

After the transformation was completed, the drone took off again.

"System, locate Fang Lan." Lin Chen gave the order.

The system interface expanded, and the video images fed back to Lin Chen’s mobile phone were clearly visible.

In the picture, Fang Lan is in a dark space. The dim light can barely illuminate her face. She has a cloth stuffed in her mouth and her expression appears terrified and helpless.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by. Fang Lan turned her head, glared at the figure, and made a whining sound.

Lin Chen asked the system anxiously: "Can you confirm the exact coordinates? Also, can you be more detailed? I want to know her specific condition and who arrested her."

The system was trying its best to retrieve Fang Lan's location information. At the same time, Lin Chen had forwarded the video to the person in charge of the police station where the East Courtyard of Ermalu was located. They had worked together before, so they had contact information. This time, Lin Chen decided to go directly through this channel.

The person in charge quickly replied to the message and asked for details. At the same time, Lin Chen also received the coordinates and clearer images from the system. He forwarded this information to the person in charge without hesitation.

At this time, someone in the group asked Lin Chen if he had found Fang Lan. Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and decided not to reveal the actual situation in the group. He knew that this would only cause more panic and would not be of any practical help. He had already made a decision based on the content of the video.

The location showed that Fang Lan was imprisoned not far from them, but on a different mountain. Lin Chen was standing at the foot of the mountain where the shooting took place, while Fang Lan was taken to a makeshift hut on the next mountain.

In the video, in addition to Fang Lan, there was another male figure. The man had an untidy beard and a decadent look. His clothes were tattered and his yellowed T-shirt was stained with stains. Lin Chen thought at first glance that this man might have mental problems. When facing a mental patient, everything becomes unpredictable. Time is running out and there is no room for delay.

Deji called Lin Chen directly, and Lin Chen answered the call while operating the mobile phone interface.

"Have you found the person?" Deji asked anxiously.

Lin Chen briefly told Deji what he knew and told him not to spread it. Deji was also very surprised and asked why, but Lin Chen said that saving people was the most important thing and let Deji take care of his own business.

After what happened before, Deji knew that Lin Chen had extraordinary abilities. Moreover, in this matter, his personal strength was limited and he really couldn't help much. Therefore, he should listen to Lin Chen's arrangements and not make trouble. Lin Chen observed from the video that the man's behavior was abnormal, and was worried that alerting the enemy would make the other party's mind more out of control. Therefore, he tried to avoid making too loud noises. His car has been equipped with a jet device, which can fly at low altitude like the previous rescue vehicle, and it also does a very good job in noise reduction.

In such a dark night, only a faint moonlight was shining. Lin Chen did not turn on the lights, and the display clearly showed the road conditions ahead. He drove the vehicle forward unimpeded, and the speed was fast enough. In such a night, it would be difficult to spot such a flying vehicle unless it was hit directly.

The video from the spider drone that was sent out earlier provided Lin Chen with great help. According to the positioning information, he had already arrived at the top of the hill where Fang Lan was imprisoned, and saw a small house not far away. The small house was not built on the top of the hill, but was built on the hillside at the bottom.

The video only had images but no sound. It was not that Lin Chen could not receive the sound, but that the other party did not speak at all. The police had already dispatched personnel and began to formulate an action plan based on the location provided by Lin Chen. During the contact, Lin Chen reminded the other party: "The man seems to be mentally abnormal. You must be careful and don't be discovered."

"We already know about it and will turn off the police lights. If you have more detailed information, please let us know in time." The police officer responded.

Lin Chen said: "You can download an APP and check the situation in real time."

In this way, the police learned more about the situation as they approached the mountaintop cabin. When the police arrived at the foot of the mountain, they had no choice but to climb the mountain on foot. At this time, Lin Chen had already gotten out of the car, with the PPK in his hand ready. If the kidnapper made any excessive moves, he would not hesitate to shoot and subdue him.

Even in this dark night, Lin Chen's equipment allowed him to see everything around him clearly. He approached the hut carefully, twenty meters, ten meters, five meters... getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, the shabby wooden door of the hut in front was suddenly opened. Lin Chen knew from the video that the man would come out, so he quickly squatted down, using the grass and trees on the mountain to cover himself, and aimed the PPK at the other party. However, at the moment of shooting, another figure suddenly flashed out, forcing Lin Chen to urgently retract his action.

All this happened within a few tenths of a second. It turned out that Fang Lan rushed out of the room and rushed towards the man, trying to knock him down and down the mountain. But the man also noticed the movement behind him and dodged sideways. At this moment, Lin Chen could not shoot because Fang Lan had completely blocked his sight and shooting route.

When the man saw Fang Lan's action, he roared and rushed towards her. The police officers at the foot of the mountain also noticed Lin Chen's movements, and the two people under the person in charge saw this scene. They were still discussing Lin Chen's identity and background while climbing the mountain.

"Could he be a retired special forces soldier?" one of them guessed.

"Haven't you heard of him?" asked another.

The person in charge asked everyone to keep quiet. He had also met Lin Chen in the last case, but he didn't know much about him. This time, he really saw Lin Chen's strength and means. This kind of high-tech equipment is not available in their department yet. His mind also became active, thinking that if the department could also be equipped with such a system, it would be easier to fight crime in the future.

Lin Chen on the mountain remained in a state of high concentration. The crazy man pulled Fang Lan back to the hut, yelling, "Why? Why?" As for why he said that, Lin Chen had no idea, and could only guess that this guy was indeed mentally ill.

Lin Chen dodged quickly, and his previously enhanced physical strength played an important role at this moment. When the man brought Fang Lan into the cabin, he had already arrived next to the cabin. The imaging equipment brought great convenience to Lin Chen. As long as the field of vision was right, he could directly hit the people inside this seemingly vulnerable and dilapidated cabin.

Fang Lan was thrown to the ground. Seeing this, Lin Chen raised his gun and heard a muffled groan from inside. Fang Lan quickly retreated, and Lin Chen took the opportunity to break into the door and threw the man out of the door. He did not hit the other party's vital parts, because he had already found through the scanning equipment that the man was not carrying any dangerous weapons. For such a person, Lin Chen did not want to put him to death, but wanted him to accept legal sanctions.

He quickly lifted Fang Lan up from the ground and held her tightly in his arms. Fang Lan finally realized that the dirty cloth in her mouth had been taken away. She excitedly called Lin Chen's name: "Lin Chen, that person is sick!"

"I know, I saw it a long time ago." Lin Chen comforted her.

Holding Fang Lan's hand, Lin Chen asked softly, "Are you okay?" As they walked out, Lin Chen looked at Fang Lan carefully, trying to find any signs of possible injury. Although he later learned most of the situation through the video, he still didn't know the details of the early stage.

Fang Lan shook her head gently, with a hint of relief in her tone: "I'm fine, he just caught me and didn't do anything to me." A trace of fear flashed in her eyes, but she was quickly comforted by Lin Chen's warm gaze.

At this time, Lin Chen noticed a man struggling to stand up on the ground not far away. The man's shoulder blades and knees were injured on both sides, and he looked in great pain. He didn't even hear any sound, but suddenly felt his legs lose strength, followed by a piercing pain. The man soon realized that he was no match for the man in front of him named Lin Chen.

"This is unfair! Why!" The man roared in despair, his voice full of resentment and anger. He couldn't stand up, so he could only sit on the ground, picked up the stones at hand, and threw them at Lin Chen and Fang Lan with all his strength.

However, Lin Chen had already protected Fang Lan to the side, away from the man's attack range.

At this moment, the roar of a police car was heard not far away. The police officers arrived quickly, and their speed was amazing. Lin Chen knew that these officers must have made great efforts to get to the scene as quickly as possible. They witnessed everything that happened here from beginning to end, and several people quickly stepped forward to subdue the man on the ground and dragged him away.

The person in charge walked up to Lin Chen and Fang Lan and asked about Fang Lan's situation with concern. After confirming that both of them were safe, everyone walked down the mountain together. The captured man became hysterical, struggling and cursing incoherently, but all this could not change the fact that he had been subdued.

In scattered conversations, Lin Chen and Fang Lan gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that the man was a frustrated screenwriter. Because the script written by Fang Lan was being filmed, the negative energy in his heart finally broke out and he regarded Fang Lan as the target of attack. This was just a coincidence. If someone else had walked by at the time, perhaps it would not be Fang Lan who was arrested.

The head of the police had already understood the man's situation. He walked up to Lin Chen and said seriously, "You also need to go back with us." Lin Chen's heart trembled, but he quickly calmed down, knowing that he had to find a suitable identity to explain all this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "My identity needs to be kept secret."

The person in charge obviously anticipated that Lin Chen might have a special identity, but he remained vigilant before it was confirmed. At this moment, the person in charge's phone rang. After he answered the phone, his expression gradually eased, and he looked at Lin Chen with a bit of respect. After hanging up the phone, he said, "I know everything. It was just a misunderstanding. I hope you can understand that this is our responsibility."

Lin Chen nodded slightly to show his understanding: "Of course, I admire your professionalism." The misunderstanding between the two was resolved. Fang Lan had always thought that the police were just going to take them back to record their statements, and she didn't know that Lin Chen was actually considered a dangerous person. She watched Lin Chen finish communicating with the person in charge, and her heart was filled with gratitude and admiration.

The person in charge asked Lin Chen again if he was willing to go down the mountain together. Lin Chen politely declined: "We are behind and will not go with you. Don't worry about us." He pulled Fang Lan in another direction, already having a plan in mind.

Fang Lan asked in confusion: "Why don't you go with them?" Lin Chen chuckled and explained: "Because we have other ways to go down the mountain, and I don't want them to know about my car. My car can't hold so many people."
