Chapter 189 Successful Rescue
Xinchuan restaurant.
This is a Huaguo restaurant that specializes in Sichuan cuisine.
A Ford Explorer was parked next to the restaurant, and Luke opened the window to look inside.
He has already investigated the black car that appeared in the surveillance video of the confinement center, and has also identified the owner of the car from it.
Name, Wu Jiangping
Sex: Male
Date of Birth, March 3, 1985
Mobile phone number, 6268722523
Address, 202 Camo Avenue
Social Security Number, 623-53-3341
Luke checked the owner's photo, and it was not the same man as the man under surveillance.
In order to avoid complications, Luke did not dare to arrest people randomly.
According to their investigation, Wu Jiangping works in this restaurant.
At this time, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and the guests left one after another, leaving only the chef and waiter in the restaurant.
Before, Luke had already gone to the restaurant to investigate. Wu Jiangping worked in the back kitchen and found no trace of the suspect.
But even so, Luke did not dare to act rashly. If the police were in contact with Wu Jiangping, other people leaked the news, or even informed the suspect, the consequences would be difficult to control.
As for directly finding someone to control the restaurant, the movement is even bigger, and the police don't have enough evidence now, so they can't do it.
Generally speaking, the restaurant will be closed for a period of time after lunch time.
Luke is going to use this time to contact Wu Jiangping.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Wu Jiangping left the restaurant with a cigarette in his mouth. Luke and Xiao Hei got out of the car and followed directly.
Wu Jiangping hummed a ditty while walking, "Grey sky, your face.
After loving, crying, laughing, and pain, there is only goodbye.
My face was wet with tears.
This is how it feels to lose your first love..."
Xiao Hei followed behind and shook his head, "Do you know what song he is singing? It sounds good."
"You can't understand the lyrics."
Xiao Hei said unconvinced, "My sense of music is great, I like this rhythm."
Luke didn't bother to talk to him.
Luke heard this song very familiarly, but couldn't remember the name of the song.
Soon, Wu Jiangping walked into an alley, Luke observed that there was no one else around, and decided to question him.
"Wu Jiangping."
"Hey." The man in front instinctively responded, then turned his head.
Xiao Hei walked over and showed his police badge, "lapd, this is Detective Marcus, and this is Deputy Luke."
Wu Jiangping was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly greeted, "Hello Captain Luke, hello Detective. What can you do for me?"
"Is the black Honda with license plate number 8lFb898 your car?"
Wu Jiangping scratched his head, "Uh... used to be, but I've already sold the car."
"Sold to whom?"
"A colleague in a restaurant."
"Did he go to work today?"
"No, his wife is not feeling well these two days, and he is taking care of her at home."
"Since you sold the car, why didn't you transfer the title? Didn't you change your name?"
"Uh..." Wu Jiangping showed a nervous look, his eyes dodged, "I just sold it, and it's been a busy time, so I haven't had time to transfer the title yet.
After a few days when I'm not busy, I'm going to transfer the ownership again. "
Luke's tone was a little dissatisfied, "Hey, we are the police, not fools. Do you know the consequences of deceiving the police? If you don't know, I can take you to the police station to popularize it."
"Nonono, no need." Wu Jiangping stepped back quickly, "I did sell the car, not because I was busy with work and didn't transfer the registration, but because the buyer proposed not to transfer the registration for now."
"Who is the buyer? Why is he refusing to transfer the title."
"His name is Wang Chao... Uh... It's not that he doesn't want to transfer the ownership, it's just..." Wu Jiangping sighed and hesitated.
Luke said to Xiao Hei beside him, "Drive the car over and take him back to the police station."
"Please don't do this, I said...he came here on a tourist visa and has no legal status here, so the car cannot be transferred."
"His name is Wang Chao?"
"Yes."
"When was the last time you saw him?"
"June 17, after that he asked for leave to rest."
"Why did you rest for so long?"
"Her wife is pregnant, and he said that she is not feeling well and needs to take leave to take care of her. The boss is too embarrassed to rush him."
"Where is his home? Who does he live with?"
"Just him and his wife, living at No. 289, Kading Community."
"You didn't lie?"
"I swear absolutely not?" After Wu Jiangping finished speaking, he asked nervously, "What happened to Wang Chao and that car? Will it implicate me?"
"Then it depends on whether you cooperate with the police."
"Cooperate, I will definitely cooperate."
"Is Wang Chao's house far from here?"
"It's not close. Wang Chao used to live in an apartment nearby. Although it was a little run-down, it was close to the hotel and it was more convenient to go to work. Later, his wife became pregnant. In order to give her a better environment, he moved to a relatively remote apartment. community.”
"Get in the car and take us there."
Wu Jiangping hesitated a little, flinched and said, "Captain Luke, can I not go?"
"Okay, then we will take you to the police station first."
"Why? I didn't do anything, why send me to the police station."
"What did Wang Chao do? Is it serious?"
"Kidnapping."
Hearing this, Wu Jiangping's face turned green, "Captain, this has nothing to do with me, I really don't know about it."
Luke took advantage of the situation and asked, "Where were you between nine o'clock and twelve o'clock in the evening on June 19?"
Wu Jiangping thought for a while, "Our restaurant gets off work late, and it's almost ten o'clock when we get off work, and we're having a midnight snack, and it's almost eleven o'clock.
After that, I went back to the dormitory, and played poker with my colleagues before going to bed. "
Seeing Luke looking at him with scrutiny, Wu Jiangping hurriedly said, "What I said is true, I don't believe you can investigate, I have a clear conscience."
"Since you have a clear conscience, take us to Wang Chao's house and get in the car."
…
Half an hour later.
No. 289, Kading Community.
It is located in the east of Los Angeles, and it belongs to an old-fashioned community. The environment is not very good, and the law and order are a bit chaotic, but it is cheaper.
Luke parked the car a little far away, and then observed for a while, but did not find Wang Chao.
At this time, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and every extra minute, the hostages were more dangerous.
Luke decides to deploy the operation.
The control method is very simple. Luke first called for the support of four patrol officers and asked them to assist in arresting suspects who might be at home.
In addition, let Wu Jiangping call the door in the name of visiting, and when the door opened, everyone rushed to arrest Wang Chao.
Sometimes the plan doesn’t need to be too complicated, just easy to use.
Subsequently, everyone acted according to Luke's deployment.
Wu Jiangping went to call the door, Luke and Xiao Hei hid on both sides of the door, two patrolmen supported by the side, and two patrolmen watched at the back door to prevent the suspect from escaping.
Everything is ready, Luke made a gesture.
Wu Jiangping took a deep breath, knocked on the door, "Boom."
No response.
Wu Jiangping knocked on the door again, "Dong Dong"
Still no response.
Luke pointed to his mouth.
Wu Jiangping said, "Wang Chao, this is Jiang Ping, please open the door."
Still no response.
Now there are two possibilities. The first kind of person hides in the house without making a sound.
There is another kind, people are gone.
Now that the door has been called, we must find out what the situation is.
Luke went to the window to observe, but he didn't see anyone. Then, he opened the glass, stepped on Xiao Hei's hand, and went directly to the window on the first floor.
Luke holds guns in both hands, observes the surrounding situation, then slowly walks to the door and opens the door.
Xiao Hei came in with a patrolman, and another patrolman was watching Wu Jiangping outside.
The house is not big, Luke and Xiao Hei quickly searched the house, but found no one.
I found some items used by pregnant women.
In addition, judging from the situation at the scene, the kidnappers were fully prepared when they left and took a lot of things with them.
But Luke found neither the stolen money nor the hostages.
The question is coming?
How does Luke prove that Wang Chao is the kidnapper?
If it cannot be proved that Wang Chao is the kidnapper, then everything he is doing now is meaningless.
Luke thinks differently, what would he do if he were a kidnapper?
Luke then leaves the house and goes to the backyard.
There are many vegetables grown in the yard, including beans, cucumbers, eggplants, etc.
Luke walked around in the yard and felt a faint sound.
He listens carefully...
The sound seemed to come from underground.
Then, Luke started trampling every inch of the yard.
"Bang bang!"
After some trials, I found a piece of land that feels different from the surrounding ones.
Luke checked carefully and found clues, it seemed to have a cover.
Luke opened the cover. It was a steel plate with thick soil and lawn on it. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to detect the abnormality.
When the steel plate was lifted, the strange sound just now became louder.
"Woooooooooooo..."
Luke heard it clearly this time, and from his experience, it sounded like a sob over his mouth.
There is a hole under the steel plate, it is very dark, and Luke dare not go down rashly, in case the kidnappers are hiding below.
Luke got down on the ground now, wouldn't he become a living target.
Thinking of this, Luke asked Xiao Hei to go to the car to get the phone selfie stand, and then put the selfie stand into the black hole with the longest extension, and shot in circles inside, trying to capture every corner.
After the photo was taken, Luke checked the photo. This burrow has a small mouth and a big belly. It is about a dozen square meters below, and there is not much furniture. There are two women, one big and one small, **** in the corner.
Luke didn't see the kidnapper, so he didn't have any worries. Then he went down the cave with a gun in his right hand and a ladder in his left hand.
The light in the cave was dark, but no lights were found, so the people above could only use flashlights.
After Luke entered the cave, he observed the surrounding situation again, and after confirming that it was safe, he walked to the side of two women, one big and one small, who were **** like rice dumplings.
"Woooo..." The two women seemed very excited, shaking their bodies non-stop, and whimpering.
Luke confirmed the identities of the two, and they were indeed Betty Kenneth and Amy Ma.
He flashed his police badge, "Don't be nervous, I'm Luke, deputy captain of the Robbery and Murder Division, and I'm here to rescue you."
Afterwards, Luke untied the ropes that bound the two of them.
The two women, one big and one small, were still in shock, hugging each other and crying.
The hostages have been found now, where did the kidnappers go?
