"Qiu Fu likes painting very much. These should have been painted by him when he was with the kidnappers." Yan Jiansan picked up the two paintings, rubbed the crayon marks with his fingers, sighed, put down the paintings, took out one from his arms and folded it paper and handed it to Chi Feichi, "This was stuffed into the mailbox this morning..."
Chi Feichi put the threatening letter on the coffee table in front of him and took the paper.
The paper still uses words cut from newspapers to spell out an account at the Swiss Fankobel Bank.
It is simply impossible to check user information from Swiss banks.
As a banking country, Switzerland relies on its user confidentiality system. It strictly keeps customer information confidential, and it is difficult for international organizations to come forward to use it.
"Grandpa Yan, have the kidnappers called?"
“There were two calls in total,” Yan Jiansan said. “One was around 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon when I received the threatening letter. The other party called and said not to call the police or leak the news, otherwise Qiufu’s life would be in danger, and the other It was around 2 o'clock this afternoon. The other party called and said that the paper with the account information was in the mailbox. If I agreed to pay the ransom, I would prepare 1 million yen in cash. He would call in an hour..."
Chi Feichi turned to look at the clock on the wall. It was already 3:31 pm.
It is very troublesome to move 1 billion yen. Since the other party has a Swiss bank account, he will definitely ask to transfer it to the Swiss bank account.
The other party will probably not take the 1 million yen, just to observe whether the Yan Group is sincere and whether it has called the police.
Yan Jiansan noticed Chi Feichi's actions and turned to look at the clock, "I have already prepared the 1 million yen, and the other party should call soon."
"Can you let me answer the phone?" Chi Feichi took out the voice recorder from his pocket, "I brought a voice recorder. I can record it by the way. Maybe I can find some clues. You should know that even if you don't call the police, you can't Put all your hopes on the robbers."
After thinking about it, Yan Jiansan nodded, "Okay..."
About three minutes later, the landline phone in the house rang.
Chi Feichi turned on the voice recorder, answered the phone, and pressed speakerphone again.
The male voice using a voice changer was mechanically weird: "Are you ready for the money?"
"Ready, I want to confirm Qiu Fu's safety first." Chi Feichi said.
"Who are you?" You can hear that the other party is obviously nervous.
Yan Jiansan was more nervous than the kidnapper. He stared at the phone and did not dare to express his anger.
"As the heir of the Zhenchi Group, Qiu Fu usually calls me brother," Chi Feichi continued, "Today I came to visit and found Mr. Yan with a sad face. After questioning, he told me about this matter. This matter is only between me and the group. The person in charge of the Tokyo branch knows that we are at Yan's house. No one calls the police. The ransom can be paid to you. However, there are only two paintings, which are not enough to confirm Qiuo's situation. This may also be Qiuo's previous painting. I want to hear Qiuo say say."
"Okay!" the man on the other end of the phone said, "Now let someone send 1 million yen to the back door of Mihuaquandi Park, and lay it flat on the ground leading to the back door. Only one person is allowed to go there, and no police are allowed to be sent. Follow! When I see your sincerity, I will call you again and let you listen to the child's voice."
"Beep...beep..."
The call was hung up.
Chi Feichi picked up the recorder and turned off the recording.
Yan Jiansan turned to look at Secretary Jie Chongji behind him, "Chongji, please send the money over."
"Don't worry!" Jie Chongji nodded seriously, picked up a paper bag of money that had been prepared on the sofa, and turned around to go out.
Chi Feichi looked at the paintings on the table, took out his mobile phone, and sent an email to the crows in Mihua Town to go to Mihua Spring Park to find a person related to the clown. If he found it, he would follow it up.
There is a person who looks like a circus clown standing next to a child, and the two seem to be playing games in front of the TV.
The painting was painted by Yan Qiufu, which Yan Jiansan should not admit wrongly. Then this painting is probably the result of Yan Qiufu's experience during the two days when he was painting it.
Play video games with the clown!
"Feichi..." Yan Jiansan looked at Chi Feichi.
"Don't worry," Chi Feichi put down his phone, "Has Qiufu said before that he saw clowns elsewhere?"
Yan Jiansan thought for a while, "A few days ago, he seemed to have said that there was a clown outside the kindergarten giving balloons to the children."
Chi Feichi thought for a moment, looked at Yan Jiansan, and whispered, "There was the sound of wind and leaves on the phone just now. The kidnapper should have arrived near Mihua Spring Park, and he said that he would not let us go until he confirmed our sincerity. Listening to Qiu Fu's voice, it means that Qiu Fu is not with him now. In addition, he did not mention the word 'we', but only said 'I'. There is probably only one kidnapper. Now he has three options. First, I will go around. Lu went over to catch him and forced him to reveal Qiu Fu's whereabouts. Secondly, he placed his hope on the kidnapper to save money and avoid disaster, hoping that he would let Qiuo go after getting the money. Thirdly, he locked the kidnapper's location and let him know. People go to track him, while thinking about where Qiuo might be imprisoned, and then he can directly rescue people after finding out the situation, what do you think?"
Yan Jiansan closed his eyes, "If the first option doesn't work, I don't dare to bet..."
The second option seems safe, but it is not impossible for the kidnappers to break up the money immediately.
The third option seems good, but if the robber following him is discovered, will Qiufu be in danger? How can they find Qiu Fu's location?
Every choice has risks.
Chi Feichi didn't force himself. He looked at the painting on the table and pointed at the strange pattern on the corner of the page. "The painting Qiufu showed me last time seemed to be signed by the Tokyo Tower. Why is it this pattern this time?"
"Qiu Fu will use the most eye-catching buildings around him as a signature painting." Yan Jiansan explained.
Oyamaya looked closer, "In other words, Master Qiuo is near this building, but what kind of building is this? There seems to be no such strange building in Tokyo, right?"
The pattern on the painting is really strange, like an alien with a big one-eye on its belly.
"The world in the eyes of children is inherently strange and different from ordinary people." Chi Feichi looked at the architectural pattern and thought about it, but he had no clue.
Feichi put his head on Chi Feichi's collar and looked curiously. He paused for a moment before spitting out Snake Xinzi, then said back, "Huh? Master, I seem to have seen this building before."
Chi Feichi lowered his head and looked at Feichi's head. He stood up calmly and said to Yan Jiansan, "Grandpa Yan, I'm going to buy a map to take a look. Maybe I can remember where there are such buildings."
"Go ahead," Yan Jiansan sighed, "I'm so sorry for making you so anxious and angry."
"It's okay," Chi Feichi turned to Dashan and said, "Dashan, you stay here with Grandpa Yan, and let me drive your car first."
He didn't drive today and came here in Oyama Mi's car.
"Okay, I'll stay with the old man here." Dashan Mi handed the car key to Chi Feichi.
Chi Fei didn't say anything more. After taking the car keys, he went out and got in the car. After starting the car and exiting the gate, he asked in a low voice, "Fei Chi, where have you seen this pattern?"
Feichi slipped out from under Chi Feichi's clothes and ran to the passenger seat, "Acupido Town 1-chome, where the master and Takatori went to see the new underground training ground that day. The house has not been built yet, so we will go After walking around a few times and getting to know the terrain, that’s when..."
Chi Feichi recalled that Feichi had been staying with him all the time, and Feichi said he had seen it, so he should have an impression...
"That cell tower?"
"It turns out that's a signal tower." It's not the equator. "The eyes Qiuo painted on the alien's belly are the clock hanging in the middle of the tower."
"Um."
Chi Feichi drove the car to Aipido-cho 1-chome, stopped halfway, went to a convenience store nearby and bought a map of Aipido-cho, and bought an oil-based pen as well, and sat in the car to sort out his thoughts.
Yan Qiufu saw a clown in the kindergarten a few days ago, and he was kidnapped yesterday after going to the kindergarten.
Since this is his only grandson, Yan Jiansan always has Yan Qiufu sent to the kindergarten door.
Then, the kidnapper's entire operation should be:
Previously, he dressed as a clown and approached Yan Qiufu, which made Yan Qiufu think that "the clown is a good person."
At about 9 o'clock yesterday morning, Yan Qiufu was sent to the kindergarten. After the driver drove away, he saw a clown he knew calling him and left the kindergarten again.
The clown tricked Yan Qiufu into leaving with him, using the video games that children like. This is also reflected in Yan Qiufu's paintings. The clown played video games with Yan Qiufu.
In order to leave the kindergarten without being discovered as quickly as possible, the kidnapper should have a car.
Around 9:30 to 12 o'clock in the morning, the clown took Yan Qiufu to a hidden place. In order to coax Qiufu, he should have played video games with Qiufu.
After that, Qiu Fu should have mentioned that he wanted to draw. The clown could not have thought of preparing crayons and paper before. Since the two of them had to eat at noon, the clown went to the convenience store to buy food and bought crayons and paper for Yan Qiu Fu.
Eat, watch Qiu Fu paint...
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon... No, when the other party called, he obviously didn't know him and thought he was a policeman, which meant that he didn't know that his and Dashan Mi's car had entered Yan's house.
In other words, the kidnappers were not near the Yan family and could not observe the Yan family's situation. Therefore, the kidnappers should have observed the Yan family for a period of time before sending the letter to the Yan family yesterday.
At about 3:30, I stuffed the letter into the mailbox. When I got to a safe place, I made a phone call to confirm that the Yan family would take the letter back. The arrival time at the Yan family had to be earlier and at the latest at 3 o'clock.
Qiufu painted two paintings, and it took at least an hour for a child to paint carefully. The kidnappers had to wait for Qiufu to finish painting, and then sent the paintings to the Yan family...
There is only one person on the other side, and the location information can be analyzed through the activity time.
It’s time for kids to eat...
Time to go to nearby convenience stores...
Yesterday 9 am, yesterday noon, yesterday 3 pm, yesterday 4 pm, today 2 pm...
The drive from that place to Yan's house is about 40 minutes.
Chi Feichi drew a circle on the map, with Yan's house as the center point, and circled all the surrounding places that could be reached by car in about 40 minutes. Then he found the signal tower and drew a circle to see the signal. The place for the tower is circled.
The clock in the center of the signal tower is not hung in the middle, but on one side. In other words, there is only one direction that can make the clock appear to be exactly in the middle of the signal tower.
Chi Feichi drew two parallel lines on the two circles between the signal tower and Yan's house.
In addition, the crayon lines used in the painting, no matter the texture or the feel, cannot be drawn with inferior brushes. It seems that Qiufu's child has quite high standards.
You can’t buy this kind of crayons in convenience stores. If you don’t go to a specialty store to buy them, at least you have to go to a larger stationery store...
Let's organize the time again. Excluding the time for eating, waiting for Qiuo to draw, going out, and observing the situation outside the door, it takes about an hour for the other party to buy lunch, crayons and paper.
The locations of convenience stores, convenience stores, stationery stores, and crayon stores in these places...
Chi Feichi silently drew two lines on the map.
If you go shopping by car, you have plenty of time and more choices...
Chi Feichi silently drew six more lines on the map.
Another thing to consider is what happened to the kidnappers on the way, which delayed their time.
Chi Feichi drew two lines on the map again.
To rule it out, the kidnappers wanted to avoid any accidents, being discovered, or wasting time. It seems that Qiuo was not tied up. The kidnappers were probably worried that Qiuo would not be able to go back for a long time, so Qiuo sneaked out, so he would not choose a very crowded place. road.
Eliminate those routes that are prone to traffic jams...
The point where two circles, two parallel lines, and one of the lines overlap was circled again with an oil-based pen...
found it.
