"Can you see other physical characteristics of the kidnapper from the footprints?" Zeng Ping asked.
"Small feet wearing big shoes will have some impact on the judgment of footprints, and it will take time to study carefully."
"In other words, only the height, age and gender of the suspect are known now, but it is not yet certain for the time being?"
"Give me some time, I should be able to eliminate the influence of small feet wearing big shoes, and get more clues."
Han Bin's footprint identification skills are only advanced. If he can reach the expert level, he may be able to analyze the physical characteristics of the kidnappers on the spot, but he doesn't have that ability yet.
"According to the current clues, re-arrange the task." Zeng Pingzheng ordered: "Tian Li, check the surveillance around the community, and set the kidnapper's height to around 160."
"Li Hui, you visit the surrounding people to see if there are similar kidnappers."
"Zhao Ming, please contact the victim Cao Tianyou's classmates and see if there is anything unusual about Cao Tianyou two days ago."
"Han Bin, you continue to study the footprint."
"Yes."
Everyone agreed and acted separately.
"Om..." Just then, the phone rang.
The victim's father, Cao Hua, showed a panic: "Captain Zeng, has the kidnapper sent a text message?"
"Say what?"
'At eight o'clock in the evening, ask the child's mother to bring 200,000 yuan to redeem the person. You are not allowed to call the police, otherwise, don't want to see the child again. '
"Call over to hear the child's voice."
Cao Hua hurriedly called, but received a warning tone to shut down.
Zeng Ping turned his head and looked at the technical team aside: "Can you determine the location of the message?"
"It takes some time."
"Team Zeng, we may not have enough manpower."
The footprints have been collected, and Han Bin is going to bring them back to the bureau for study.
"Or, let the local police station send a few police officers to support you." Tian Li suggested.
Zeng Ping hesitated: "This is a kidnapping case. The police are too eye-catching. Let's find a group of people."
The second group of the third criminal investigation team was established not long ago, and the number of people is small, far less than the group of the third criminal investigation team.
"You guys, follow my previous instructions to investigate and come back at five o'clock in the afternoon to report the situation."
"Yes."
Everyone split up.
...
Half an hour later, Zhao Ying, the leader of the third criminal investigation team, brought three members to the scene.
"Team Zhao, you are here." Zeng Ping got up to greet him.
Zhao Ying, with short hair and good manners, glanced around the room: "Old Zeng, where are the people in your group?"
"I've been investigating clues. If it weren't for a shortage of manpower, I wouldn't have a team to support." Zeng Ping said helplessly.
"Does the kidnapper have a clue?"
Zeng Ping briefly recounted the situation.
Zhao Ying pondered for a moment: "Are you sure where the kidnappers send text messages?"
"It was sent at a base station near the suburbs." Humanity of the technical team.
"There is less surveillance in the suburbs, and there is little hope of touching the row." Zeng Ping said.
"Send someone to visit." Zhao Ying ordered two people and asked them to ask the technical team for specific positions and investigate.
"Mr. Cao, has the child's mother not come yet?"
"I divorced the child's mother, and she went out of town."
"Can you come back at night? The robbers pointed out that the mother of the child should take the money to ransom him." Zeng Ping said.
"I'm looking for my former relatives and friends, but there is no news yet."
"Is there a problem with 200,000 yuan?" Zhao Ying asked.
Cao Hua said without hesitation: "This is not a big problem. Even if I borrow it, I will definitely be able to get it together."
"Then you find a way to collect money, and the police will handle the rest."
...
Five p.m.
Li Hui, Han Bin, Tian Li, Zhao Ming and others returned to Huacui Community one after another.
"There are still three hours, when it's time to pay the ransom, let's hold a summary meeting to see if there are any new clues." Zeng Ping greeted everyone.
"The nearby surveillance did not find the kidnapper and Cao Tianyou." Tian Li said.
"The surrounding people did not find any abnormalities either." Li Hui said.
"I sent someone to the suburbs. There was no surveillance near the base station, and there was no trace of the suspect." Zhao Ying said.
"I visited, some of Cao Tianyou's classmates, according to a good student, when Cao Tianyou went to school two days ago, he said that he was going to see his mother soon. I suspect it might be related to this kidnapping case." Zhao Ming said.
Zeng Ping stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Ming: "This clue is very important. The kidnapper's height is 160, and he doesn't have much advantage in his size. The possibility of kidnapping is even greater."
"In other words, the kidnappers may take advantage of the child's desire to see the mother's heart to plan this kidnapping case." Zhao Ying analyzed.
"The question now is, if the child's mother can't come back, who will send the ransom tonight." Tian Li said.
"I'll go." Zhao Ying volunteered.
"you go?"
"Apart from me, is there a more suitable candidate?"
Zhao Ying is in her thirties and fits the age of a mother. She is calm and experienced. She is indeed a good candidate.
Zeng Ping always felt that there was one missing person. He turned his head to see that Han Bin squatted by the shoe cupboard, wondering what he was studying.
"Han Bin."
"Team Zeng, you call me."
"Everyone is discussing the case, what are you doing there?"
"Team Zeng, I found something here."
Zeng Ping waved: "Come and talk."
Han Bin walked over and sat on the sofa aside: "I don't recommend that Team Zhao send the ransom."
Zhao Ying frowned: "Why?"
"Team Zhao will definitely be recognized. It's fake." Han Bin's tone was firm.
"This is unlikely. After I divorced Cao Tianyou's mother, his mother never came, and there is no photo at home." Cao Hua said.
"I went back to the bureau and studied for the whole afternoon, eliminating the interference of small feet and wearing big shoes, and determined the kidnapper's gender. It should be a male, to be precise, a boy, aged around 13 or 4."
Zhao Ying showed a questioning look: "This is unlikely."
"After I came, I went to the shoe closet to find Cao Tianyou's old shoes, and compared the wear marks, and found that the footprint characteristics of the big shoes with the small feet are surprisingly consistent."
"You mean, it was Cao Tianyou who wore big shoes and forged the kidnapping scene!" Zeng Ping was surprised.
"No way." Cao Hua was even more shocked.
"Then is this still kidnapping?" Tian Li said.
"Cao Tianyou writes and directs himself, so the so-called kidnapping is a fiction?" Li Hui said.
"I can only be sure that it is Cao Tianyou who wears big shoes with small feet. As for whether he was abducted or not, it's still not sure." Han Bin said.
Everyone was silent, the clues Han Bin put forward were too important.
"Unsurprisingly, we have been investigating for a long time, and there are no clues about the kidnappers. It turns out that the kidnappers have never been to Huacui Community." Tian Li suddenly realized.
"Impossible, my son has always been very obedient, why did he do this?" Cao Hua couldn't believe it.
Zeng Ping paced and analyzed: "According to the clues provided by classmates, Cao Tianyou did say that she was going to see her mother."
"Could it be that Cao Tianyou has never seen her mother and missed her mother so much that he wrote and directed this kidnapping." Zhao Ying said.
"This should also be proved, why the message sent indicates that Cao Tianyou's mother is required to pay the ransom." Han Bin said.
"Om..."
"The kidnapper has sent another message."
