Chapter 335 Another Bait
Not only Su Xiaoxiao felt so, but Qi Lei also felt that today's tracking was too smooth.
They followed Chen Dong all the way. Chen Dong took the bus, subway, and finally a taxi and headed for the northern suburbs.
Along the way, he made phone calls from time to time, as if he was confirming with others whether the operation was going smoothly.
He looked very cautious and kept looking around to see if anyone was following him.
Qi Lei kept thinking about what was in the northern suburbs and where people could hide.
He remembered that there was an abandoned factory in the northern suburbs, which was a good place for Tibetans.
Sure enough, Chen Dong got off the car there and walked into the abandoned factory.
They didn't dare park the car too close, but got out of the car early and dispersed towards the factory.
When they entered the abandoned factory, they did not see Chen Dong. Because they were afraid that he would find them, they did not follow too closely.
The person was lost, but it doesn’t matter. This factory is so small that there is nowhere to hide.
Just as they were about to start searching, they heard footsteps behind them.
Qi Lei signaled the team members to hide first.
As a result, they saw Mrs. Cheng walking in with a suitcase.
Why did the kidnappers let Mrs. Cheng pay the ransom here? A question mark rose in Qi Lei's mind.
Before I could think of the answer, I saw Guo Zhongliang and others coming in behind Mrs. Cheng.
The two teams met in an abandoned factory and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Normally, when kidnappers use hostages to demand a ransom, they will agree to pay the ransom at another location. They will either release the hostages or kill them after receiving the ransom.
It's not like buying and selling items, where you exchange money and goods, which would make it easy to be caught in one fell swoop.
After a brief moment of surprise, the two exchanged information.
The team led by Guo Zhongliang followed Mrs. Cheng all the way. She didn't drive very fast and drove around the city several times.
Because of the mobile phone positioning, they just need to follow from a distance and are not afraid of losing.
After following for a long time, Mrs. Cheng stopped the car at several places, but did not get out. Instead, she sat in the car for a while and then started again.
The kidnappers seemed very cautious and repeatedly checked to see if anyone was following them.
They also followed Mrs. Cheng all the way to the abandoned factory in the northern suburbs.
When Guo Zhongliang found Qi Lei and his friends' car parked on the side of the road, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't think too much about the situation at hand.
Because at this time, Mrs. Cheng had already stopped in front of the abandoned factory building and took out the box from the trunk of the car.
Then, he pulled the box into the abandoned factory.
They followed in and saw Qi Lei and the others.
Something was seriously wrong, so they simply stopped hiding and walked out.
Mrs. Cheng, who was on the phone, was stunned when she saw people suddenly appearing around her. She thought they were kidnappers.
The team members ignored her and started searching everywhere.
"There's someone here!"
One team member made a discovery and everyone quickly gathered around.
I saw a man tied to a wooden rack in the basement. His face was covered in blood, his hair was disheveled and hung down to cover half of his eyebrows, his eyes were closed, and it was impossible to tell whether he was unconscious or dead.
Mrs. Cheng also ran over. When she saw the tied person, she became agitated and was about to pounce on him.
Qi Lei grabbed him.
Something is very wrong.
None of the kidnappers were seen, and even Chen Dong disappeared.
They just left Cheng Hao here without even taking the ransom. Which kidnapper would do this, unless their goal was not the ransom.
Qi Lei threw Mrs. Cheng to the other team members, motioning them to step back, and he went forward alone to check.
He was relieved that the person was alive.
Just as he opened his clothes to check his injuries, he suddenly heard a ticking sound like a clock.
There was a bomb tied inside the unzipped clothes, and the countdown on it was jumping happily.
Oh my god, Qi Lei cursed in his heart. At this time he already knew that they had been fooled.
Uncle Quan’s target is not Cheng Hao. Cheng Hao, like Luo Yunyun, is just a chess piece used to attract their attention.
Now he knew why Uncle Quan tied a fake bomb on Luo Yunyun.
Their actions last night should have been part of Uncle Quan's plan. He could have people keep an eye on the police's movements, and naturally he could also have people keep an eye on Luo Yunyun.
They already knew about the capture of Wu Meiyu last night.
Perhaps this was also part of their calculations.
So what if the police knew? They don’t know that this was part of Uncle Quan’s plan.
Luo Yunyun is a bait. It would be good if this bait could attract the police. But if the police see through it, it will lead them into the second layer of bait.
As mentioned before, if Uncle Quan directly put out Cheng Hao as bait, they would definitely be suspicious.
But Cheng Hao's bait was set through Luo Yunyun, and the police took the bait on their own initiative. They should not be suspicious and will even think they have discovered a conspiracy.
Who would have thought that Cheng Hao was just another bait.
And there was the fake bomb. When they found the bomb last night, they reported it to all the higher authorities and went through a lot of trouble. In the end, they found out it was fake.
If we see a bomb today, we will be careless and probably think it is fake.
If they act rashly and it turns out to be true, the consequences will be disastrous. Most of the criminal investigation team are here.
If they don't dare to take the risk and call in bomb disposal experts, most of their attention will be diverted here.
Either way, the other party's goal has been achieved.
No wonder they felt that the tracking went smoothly today. The other party seemed to be going around in circles, afraid that the police would catch up, but in fact he was afraid that they could not catch up.
During the entire incident, there was only one kidnapper, and that person was Chen Dong.
It was he who talked to Mrs. Cheng on the phone and arranged her route.
He was the only one commanding Mrs. Cheng and brought both groups of criminal investigation team here.
Now that he thought about it, Chen Dong had already discovered the locator on his body, and what they thought was a thorough arrangement might have been part of the other party's calculations.
After they entered the abandoned factory, the tracker lost its function, which indirectly confirmed his guess.
He punched the wall hard.
After what happened last night, after the initial shock, the team members' first reaction was that the bomb was fake and the same conspiracy could be used twice.
However, the scary thing about this conspiracy is that even if you think there is a 99% chance that it is false, you dare not take that 1% risk.
At this time, Mrs. Cheng saw the bomb on Cheng Hao's body and was almost emotionally collapsed. She cried and wanted to rush over, but was held back by the team members.
Qi Lei notified the bomb disposal expert to come over and reported the situation to his superiors.
He asked Guo Zhongliang to take most of the people back first. They didn't know who Uncle Quan's real target was, and now they could only hope that Su Xiaoxiao would find something.
