99, private investigation
Having already guessed that it was one of them, Levi was not too surprised and asked calmly: "What happened? Disappearance? Kidnapping?"
Mai Qiongshan nodded: "In the afternoon when we were leaving, a phone call came to home. My uncle answered the phone. The other party said that Tingting was in their hands and she was still safe. If they couldn't agree to their conditions,
If so, any consequences are possible.”
"How much ransom do they want?" Levi's quickly analyzed it. As a daughter of a rich family, all she can extort is money. Under normal circumstances, there will be no other purposes. However, unless she is an only daughter, otherwise, generally
Family is more valuable than sons, right?
"0 million."
Levi's was speechless. Mai Weiting was worth 20 million, which was really a lot. However, according to the property practices of the Mai family, she would be able to get a share of her own property in a few years, and it would not be more than 20 million anyway.
"Don't transfer money, don't accept checks, don't call the police, give us three days."
These are all clichés and don’t contain much actual information. Levi’s wants to know what the Mai family thinks: “How is it decided now?”
"What your father and I meant was to call the police, and there was no point in giving in to them. My uncle was still angry because she brought that boyfriend back, and threatened to leave her alone. What grandpa meant was to wait and see if the situation becomes clearer.
Besides." The two of them will be a little worried because Mai Zhiwen didn't pay enough attention because he was angry.
Girls are no better kidnapped than boys. If the ransom is not paid within the time limit, the boys will be beaten and the girls may be humiliated.
"I mean... I also called the police. Mai Weiting was still at home at noon and was kidnapped in the afternoon. If she is not an acquaintance, she is also someone who knows her whereabouts very well. And I heard Wenwen said that she is studying abroad and this time she is wishing a birthday to a foreign country.
I just came back on purpose.=In such a short period of time, there will be no fixed routine of life. Deliberate kidnapping. It is more likely to kidnap Maddie. Don't let the police call the police. Just bluffing and leave it to the police to deal with it soon.
You can find them." Levi is also a policeman now, but one person is definitely not as efficient as a team of people.
Mai Qiongshan looked at him doubtfully, "You mean...Tingting teamed up with her friends to defraud her family of money?"
"We can't rule out the possibility." Levi even wondered if Maitian was trying to see if he would take care of his granddaughter.
"Tingting should not be such a person. I watched this child grow up. The pocket money her parents gave her is enough for her to live a comfortable life. She will also have a share of the family's money in the future. She shouldn't
It will be done in this way." Mai Qiongshan smiled bitterly.
"There is a greater possibility." Li Bingjian, who had been silent for the whole time, spoke slowly.
"Yes, that one may be bigger."
After hearing the tacit words between father and son, Mai Qiongshan also understood immediately.
"Then call the police." After the three people discussed a result, Mai Qiongshan decided to call the police. "But for the sake of safety, it is best to do it secretly."
"If we call the police directly, it is under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Island Police District, not our jurisdiction. I don't know if the police will cooperate well. Otherwise... let me ask my colleagues from the Crime Unit for help privately?"
Li Bingjian frowned slightly, "If it's inconvenient, you'd better take the formal route. Don't violate the rules."
Mai Qiongshan smiled slightly: "You are the police now, even if we call the police on you, you can decide what to do." Levi's solved several cases, which impressed her, and she still had some confidence in him investigating this case privately.
Levi really did his own private investigation. Although Zhang Xiaosheng treats him well now, they belong to the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit and there are still many cases that need to be dealt with. As Mai Weiting's guardian, Mai Zhiwen did not call the police because it would be inconvenient to help Levi.
Private. Besides, it's not their jurisdiction.
For his private investigation, he asked Luo Yongshi for help. Luo Yongshi's ability in collection and investigation is not weak, and her popularity within the police force is also good. With her help, many situations will be solved faster.
After Luo Yongshi received his call, she was a little surprised, but she didn't refuse and immediately agreed to help.
Levis ate some dinner by himself and then locked himself in his room.
Something happened to Mai Weiting, and the Gu Xun she met today was a key figure. She left in the end with Gu Xun. As for which hotel Gu Xun stayed in, Li Weiwen didn't know, and neither did the Mai family. Only Mai
Weiting knew it herself.
The hacking software that Xiaojiu was asked to develop before was fully programmed when he had time. Now he has two computers running at the same time, invading major hotels in Hong Kong one by one. By entering the hotel's server, he cracks and searches for the customer registration list.
.
As a matter of time, we can only search for hotels with high stars. I believe that with Mai Weiting's financial ability, she will not let her boyfriend stay in a hotel that is too simple.
While he was searching, Luo Yongshi also successively passed the information she collected to Levis.
From the information she gave, Levis learned that Mai Weiting was studying at Cornell University in the United States, and that Gu Xun was not from Cornell University. According to the information from the immigration department, Gu Xun was 4 years old and an unknown person.
An art student from a community college. The entry record was from five days ago. In other words, Mai Weiting and Gu Xun did not just come back. Although she did not bring Gu Xun home, Gu Xun has been in Hong Kong these days.
After getting this information, Levi's also searched for Gu Xun's check-in record, which was at the Four Seasons Hotel.
He immediately drove out and called Luo Yongshi. If he found any new information, call him or send it to his mobile phone.
On the way to the Four Seasons Hotel, Levi's thought of another doubt.
If this is related to Gu Xun, is it too simple? Mai Weiting is with him, and everyone is completely unfamiliar with him. When something happens, he will naturally be the first to think of him. If the police call him, he will be the first person to think of him.
The suspect is wanted and it won't take long to find him.
Moreover, they met in the United States. If Gu Xun had such a purpose, why did he follow him all the way to Hong Kong to commit the crime? Wouldn't it be safer to kidnap and extort in the United States?
Even so, now we can only find Gu Xun first.
And there is a high possibility that Gu Xun is also...
He had already found Gu Xun's room number at the Four Seasons Hotel, and it was not difficult to open the door and get in. He didn't even need to use his identity as a major crime squad member, just a thousand-yuan bill.
Entering the room, as expected, there was no one inside. To his surprise, he found that it was a bit messy.
After carefully observing the situation in the room, Levis had already estimated what might have caused it. Based on all the scenes he observed, the scene Xiaojiu simulated with the highest probability was similar to what he had guessed.
Judging from the situation at the scene, this should be the first scene of the crime - after the birthday banquet, Mai Weiting and Gu Xun left home, maybe went shopping elsewhere, and then returned to the hotel. ** in love,
It was easy to burn out the passion, and the two people were making out on the big bed, but not long after it started, someone broke in and took the two people away.
The housekeeping was done in the morning and they did the cleaning in the afternoon, which kept the room in good condition and not damaged.
While he was thinking about it, Luo Yongshi came back with news. She went through the list of several good friends of Mai Weiting. She also expressed her assessment that the possibility of these people was extremely low.
The kidnappers called the number of Mai's house. At that time, Mai Tian asked them to call again, but no one answered. Now Luo Yongshi also found out that it was a public phone number, and gave the specific seat to Levis.
When leaving the hotel, Levis rushed to where the phone booth was and connected all the timelines in his mind. Although he didn't expect anything to happen and couldn't determine the specific time, he still remembered the approximate time.
Mai Weiting and Gu Xun left Mai's house after two o'clock in the afternoon;
The time when he and Wenwen left was after three o'clock in the afternoon;
Li Bingjian and Mai Qiongshan were originally leaving around four o'clock, but they received a call from the kidnappers at that time, and they did not leave until after five o'clock;
The kidnappers had already called around four o'clock, so Mai Weiting and Gu Xun should have been caught.
And that phone booth is at least a twenty-minute drive from the Four Seasons Hotel.
Calculating this, the two of them should have been in the hotel before 3:30. Of course, it is not ruled out that when the kidnappers arranged to kidnap, someone else would call and blackmail them.
After all, the crime occurred between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, and it is already past eight o'clock in the evening. A few hours are enough for them to transfer the hostages. Are there any clues near the phone booth?
