Diary of a Criminal Investigator

Chapter 744: The Time Is Ripe, Take Action!

The person also works at the Tang Group, and is a deputy general manager.

"Tang Hao has been kidnapped?"

Li Qing was completely unaware of this matter.

Or rather, none of the Tang family’s relatives knew about it.

"Don’t make a fuss, next..."

Tang Guojin, following Lu Chuan’s instructions, did not inform anyone that he had already called the police.

During the period when Tang Hao was kidnapped, only Tang Guojin and Tang Xiaoyu had contact with the police.

In any case, whether Lu Chuan met Tang Guojun or the police inquired about the kidnapping situation from Tang Xiaoyu, they used very discreet excuses and reasons.

"Don’t worry about anything else, just deliver the money to the designated places."

"I’ve already asked the driver, Old Song, to prepare the car, but he can’t go with you, you have to drive yourself..."

Li Qing, in his thirties and physically strong, found it somewhat laborious to carry five million, but it wasn’t a big problem.

According to the kidnapper’s demands, Li Qing had to first place 10 bags of money in 10 different locations.

Since each location was quite remote and far from the city center, it was estimated that it would take most of the day to complete the transportation.

As for how the kidnappers would retrieve the money, Tang Guojin did not know.

Just like last time, when Tang Xiaoyu was kidnapped, the kidnappers only told him to place the money in 10 locations.

By the next day, Tang Xiaoyu was rescued.

Fifty million, ten travel bags.

Li Qing spent half a day to get it all done.

All that was left was to deliver the money.

Watching Li Qing drive away, Tang Guojin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding this cooperation with the police, or rather with Lu Chuan, Tang Guojin felt quite assured.

First of all, the police’s confidentiality work was excellent.

From the time he reported to the police until now, he had only met Lu Chuan once, and the police hadn’t proactively called him.

It felt to Tang Guojin like he hadn’t reported it to the police at all.

Even when they contacted Tang Xiaoyu for information, they did so when Tang Xiaoyu was going to the bank to withdraw money, using such a gap.

In this way, Tang Hao would surely be safe.

Additionally, for this kidnapping of Tang Hao, Tang Guojin remained the same as before.

He indeed prepared one hundred million in cash as the kidnappers had asked.

And now it’s been sent out.

In this way, even if the police ultimately fail to catch the kidnappers, if they received the money, his son should be safe too.

Just as Tang Guojin stood at the villa window watching Li Qing drive away.

In the garage, driver Old Song also sent out a message.

"The fish is on the road."

At the same time, in the Ocean District.

Cui Kai received the text message and punched the air excitedly!

"How’s it going?"

"Message from Old Song, the money has been sent out!"

"Haha, one hundred million! That’s a hundred million!"

"When shall we go collect the money?"

"We can’t rush, just like last time, wait until they’ve delivered all the money to 10 locations, we’ll draw lots, then go collect the money."

"Come on now, do we have to be that cautious?"

"Last time the three million from Old Street just vanished for no reason, the Tang family couldn’t have given three million less, it must have been picked up by someone else."

"I think this time, we should be swift and decisive, collect the money quickly and then leave!"

It was the only woman among the five speaking.

"No way!"

"Stick to the original plan, take the money in two batches. Guang, it’s still up to you, get the person in through the back door of the Hilton."

"This time we’ve made it such a big deal, Tang Guojin will certainly report it afterward."

"Then they’ll definitely check the surveillance at the Hilton Hotel, if you bring the person in from the back door, they won’t detect it."

"And they’d never think that we were staying just behind the hotel in the residential area."

"Also, once we have the money, everyone should scatter, but one thing, this money cannot be deposited in the bank."

"Wait at least a few years, understand?"

"Big brother, don’t worry, with this haul, we’ll be set for life."

Little did they know, at this moment, people were watching their every move within the Hilton Hotel they mentioned.

"Captain Lu! Someone’s coming out!"

During these days, Lu Chuan and his team had already scoped out the unit building where Cui Kai lived.

There were a total of 14 apartments inside the unit, with only 7 occupied.

Lu Chuan’s team had investigated the situation of each household.

Except for Cui Kai’s apartment 301, they had control over the situation of the other residents.

Therefore, any unfamiliar person appearing must be from 301.

"Squad One, follow them, maintain a good tracking distance!"

"Yes!"

Chen Jiang’s group had long been prepared.

To avoid being detected, they prepared three civilian vehicles to alternately conduct the tracking.

The suspect got into a van parked at the entrance of the district and left the Ocean District.

Lu Chuan reminded Chen Jiang once again, "The locations for collecting money are all quite remote, make sure to maintain tracking distance without being discovered."

The purpose of allowing them to collect the money is to lower their vigilance.

If they realize they’re being tailed, everything will be over.

"Yes, Captain Lu, rest assured, we’ve got a contingency plan in place, ensuring no problems arise!"

"Captain Lu! Another one coming out! It’s Cui Kai!"

Cui Kai was the only kidnapper whose identity Lu Chuan and his team had confirmed so far.

Now, the opponent finally appeared.

Through the binoculars, Cui Kai was seen stepping out of the unit building, looking around.

Then heading straight for the district entrance.

"Captain Lu, he’s driving a car away, shall we follow?"

Chen Jiang’s side was also prepared with personnel for tracking.

"Keep a long distance, make sure you’re not spotted."

"Understood!"

Inside the Hilton Hotel room.

Sun Biao, Wang Zhaokai, and Lu Chuan were present.

"Five people, two have left, should we make a move?"

There were probably only three people left inside now.

The chances of rescuing Tang Hao had increased significantly.

"Wait a bit longer!"

Lu Chuan did not act rashly.

The places where they chose to hide the money were all quite remote, and after Cui Kai and the other person left, they wouldn’t return for a while, so there was still time.

Now, they were just observing if anyone else went out to collect the money.

Thus, Lu Chuan and others observed for half an hour, but no one else came out of the unit building.

"It should be just those two collecting the money, Captain Lu, do we proceed?"

Three kidnappers, two men and one woman!

"Take action!"

"Got it!"

Although the operation had started, it wasn’t a large force directly rushing into the district.

This operation was personally led by Lu Chuan.

A total of twelve people were assigned to approach Building 2, Unit 3 from different directions.

Furthermore, Lu Chuan had arranged for all of them to enter the unit building in batches.

This was to prevent alarming the kidnappers on the third floor.

Altogether, it took the twelve individuals ten minutes to enter the unit building.

In the first-floor corridor, the twelve were already locked and loaded.

"I’ll unlock the door, the rest follow me in!"

The reason Lu Chuan took point for this action was because he had a system reward of lockpicking skills.

Compared to forced entry, Lu Chuan could unlock the door within two breaths here.
