Chapter 087
Nangong Iren
Nangong Iren looked at Jenqyih's friend. That person looked at all of them with a sharp, yet respectful gaze.
It's about time this person comes to tell us about the progress of the investigation into the Shinnshiow kidnapping case.
Iren turned to look at Jenqyih. The look of surprise had not left his face.
Yihge didn't know about this person's arrival? Didn't they discuss this before?
Iren hoped that the investigation carried out by Jenqyih's friend's organization would yield more results than the police investigation. However, he realized that the people's organization didn't just help them. There must be a certain agenda they run.
Dahge's disappearance compounds our problems. Hope this person can help us with that too.
"Did you order pizza on purpose, knowing that Mr. Jongli would come here?" Yihshyong turned to Jenqyih.
Jenqyih shook his head. "I have absolutely no idea. The last time I communicated with him was the day he visited us here."
Yihshyong nodded.
Shyongge must have seen that Yihge's expression does show that he is telling the truth. It means that this Jongli Jyhren is indeed a very mysterious type of person.
"Okay," said Yihshyong. "It's not that important. We have other things to do. Mr. Jongli, please have a seat."
Because at that time everyone was sitting in the dining room, Yihshyong invited him to sit there. Jongli Jyhren was very calm. He seemed to have been well trained in dealing with precarious situations, such as the one they were currently facing.
Yihshyong looked deeply at the person. His face was serious. Iren didn't know what was going on in Yihshyong's mind. Even though he looked calm, he could actually be really panicked. It could be easily understood. It wasn't easy for Yihshyong to make up his mind when he suddenly had to take over from Shannchyuan.
Iren glanced around him. Except for Chioujen, all eyes were on Jongli Jyhren. Their facial expressions and eyes looked very serious. They all frowned. It was very much like students staring at their teacher during a sudden exam.
Iren focused on Chioujen. There was something strange about the kid. The night Chioujen came home, he talked for a long time with Shannchyuan. At that time, Iren stood guard at the edge of the hole. They chatted for quite a while in the dungeon.
He couldn't hear what their conversation was about because the distance between them and him was quite far. One thing Iren was sure of was that Chioujen knew things they didn't. But their youngest housemate chose not to tell them.
At least this kid had been honest with Dahge.
Iren didn't know why. Maybe Chioujen didn't fully believe in them yet. Living together for some time was in no way guaranteed that they would understand each other. What made Iren relieved was that at least Chioujen still believed in Shannchyuan.
"This restaurant really sells pizza, or is this just your way of communicating with us?" Jenqyih asked his friend. His eyes were full of inquiry.
Jongli smiled. "The restaurant really does exist. And they do have a promotion. We just asked them for help to let us use their restaurant."
"Then, who exactly is the person who gave this flyer to me?" asked Jenqyih.
"There is one of our agents who is on standby there. He is indeed in charge of distributing flyers to many people."
"Where is the difference? I mean, between this brochure and the original one."
"Actually, it's not that much different, either. We just changed the phone number. So when you call the restaurant, it goes straight to us."
"Ah! That's why you guys got here so fast."
Jongli nodded. "We've been monitoring your movements."
"Then these boxes? Is it really pizza?" Jenqyih still didn't seem convinced.
"Of course. The restaurant does provide pizzas that are incredibly large in size," said Jongli Jyhren.
Iren opened the top box. The smell of pizza spread throughout the room.
"Because it turns out we have guests, so we'll eat these pizzas later. Right now, I want to know what he will say." Yihshyong looked at his friends.
Jongli Jyren nodded.
"Wait," said Iren. "There are still things I don't understand. If it turns out that we didn't order pizza at all, then how would you contact us?"
Jongli Jyhren smiled. "We will still come to this house. I will say that Mr. Duanmuh Shannchyuan last night ordered pizza. He instructed we should deliver these pizzas tonight to his house."
"I think, even if no one ordered, if there was pizza delivered to our house, we would definitely receive it." Jenqyih smiled broadly. His face lit up as he said that.
Jinqkang and Chioujen nodded. They laughed at Jenqyih's words.
"Stop it. I think we've talked enough about pizza," Yihshyong said. "Now it's time for a serious talk." Yihshyong turned towards Jongli Jyhren. "What are the results of the investigation that your organization did?"
"The results of our investigation are more or less the same as the results of the police investigation. Although we conduct separate investigations, we often run into the police while searching for clues that we get. We think the police are also aware that we are also investigating this matter."
"Could you please tell us about the probable places where Shinnshiow is being held?" Iren asked.
"We did get some clues. We've managed to find the car that the kidnappers used to take Mr. Beeihae away," said Jongli Jyhren.
Ah! This is encouraging news.
"Where was the car found?" Yihshyong's eyes widened.
"Around midnight, we managed to track down the whereabouts of the car. The car was in the city located east of this big city. The kidnappers abandoned the car in the parking lot of a shopping mall."
"Are there witnesses?" Iren asked.
Jongli nodded. "The witnesses who were there all said that the car had been parked there since yesterday afternoon. About five o'clock in the afternoon."
"So Shinnshiow is in that city?" Yihshyong's voice was full of curiosity.
"I do not think so. We feel that the kidnappers deliberately put the car there to confuse us." Jongli Jyhren shook his head. "We think they transferred Mr. Beeihae to another car before they took the car out of town."
"Did the police know about this?" Iren asked.
"Of course they know. This morning, they even sent some officers there to check the car. We checked the car in the middle of the night. Right after we found him."
The police did not give this information to us at all. I don't know why. Even though so far we are all very cooperative.
"Then what about the person who brought the car?" Jenqyih asked a question. He looked bored with just sitting there listening.
"What do you want to know?" asked Jongli.
"Of course I want to know about the basics of the person who brought the car. For example, physical characteristics."
"He was wearing a hat, a thick jacket, and sunglasses. The witnesses also said that his teeth were bared."
"The police already know, right?" Yihshyong asked.
"Of course. The city police have even distributed a sketch of the car's driver's face to all police personnel on duty in areas where the car might have passed while escaping to the next town."
"Such a clear physical trait. Wouldn't that be something that would greatly assist the investigation?" Iren asked.
Jongli shook his head. "We suspect that the slanted teeth are also just part of the disguise."
Ah! That is true! They must have been well prepared for something like that.
"Do you have direct communication with the police in this city?" Iren asked.
"I can say that we have limited cooperation."
"Limited cooperation?" Yihshyong seemed interested in that statement. "Is it because of this kidnapping incident?"
"No, Sir. That's how it usually is. We exchange information regularly. Although sometimes we do withhold some information. So do the police. Often they provide incomplete information."
Iren nodded. Such competition was clearly unhealthy. Nobody knew their purpose for doing such things.. Iren didn't really care, either. Whatever the police do, it's none of his business. He just wanted Shinnshiow to come back quickly. It didn't matter who found him first.
"So, the police didn't tell you about this at all," said Jongli Jyhren.
"The police never said anything about the results of their investigation," Yihshyong said. "Except tonight, when the police said they were following the kidnapper's accomplice to a house not too far from here. In addition, they also only informed us of the presence of our neighbors in the vicinity of that house."
"But they must have contacted the gentlemen here soon after you came back from the park," said Jongli.
Yihshyong nodded.
"Have you told the police about the contents of the package that you found in the park?" Asked Jongli Jyhren.
How did he know we found the package? Ah! It is possible the secret organization he works for had also sent someone to the park to monitor the ransom handover process.
"Not yet." Yihshyong shook his head quickly. "We just opened it. By now, the police should have contacted us again to inquire about the contents of this package," said Yihshyong.
"Our Huahshianq haven't twinkled yet," Chioujen said.
"It's about time. It's a little strange that the police haven't contacted us," Yihshyong said.
"Maybe they are busy with something. It could be that something extraordinary has happened," said Jenqyih.
"So this thing is called Huahshianq?" Jongli Jyhren pointed to the communication device the police gave them.
Iren laughed. "We don't know what it's called. So we call it Huahshianq."
Jongli Jyhren chuckled after hearing Iren's answer. "Although we also use this kind of tool, I don't know what it's called either."
"If the Huahshianq is on, can the police listen to our conversation right now?" Iren asked.
"Of course not, Sir," answered Jongli Jyhren. "If that button is not on, even though Huahshianq is on, both parties still cannot hear the voice of the other party." Jongli Jyhren pointed at the button located next to the Huahshianq on-off button.
"But since yesterday, we never touched that button? Conversations can easily occur by simply turning on the device," said Iren.
"No, Sir. That button, which is next to the on-off button, doesn't have to be pressed if we want to communicate. So in the earphones, there is a sensor. If we put earphones in our ears, the device will automatically send our voices and at the same time receive sound from the other end," said Jongli Jyhren.
"So even if the device is on, as long as we don't press the button next to the on-off button, or the earphones aren't plugged into our ears, then they won't be able to listen to our conversation," said Iren.
"That's right, Sir," answered Jongli Jyhren.
Iren nodded hearing Jongli Jyhren's explanation. The police didn't tell them about it at all.
They purposely didn't tell me about it because they thought it isn't important? Or because they didn't know themselves? But there is no way they didn't know about it.
"What exactly is in that package?" Ask Jongli Jyhren.
Yihshyong sighed. "The kidnappers asked us to cooperate in deceiving the police. So they asked us to prepare another bag. The things we had to give to the kidnappers, we had to put in that other bag."
Jongli raised his eyebrows. "They're quite clever."
Yihshyong nodded. "We have to fill the old bag with other items of approximately the same amount and weight. Later, there will be two teams. The first team will deliver the fake ransom items. The second team will deliver the real ransom items. They asked us to cover up this plan. So later, the police should only monitor the first team."
"Do you intend to cooperate with the kidnappers?" Jongli Jyhren smiled. His smile was so strange and mysterious.
That obviously couldn't happen. Does he want to test us?
"Of course not." Yihshyong laughed. "We will tell the truth to the police."
Jongli Jyhren was silent. Although he seemed to be worried about something, he didn't say anything.
"The lights are on," Jinqkang shouted. He pointed to their means of communication.
Yihshyong got up from the chair and approached Huahshianq. He gestured for Chioujen to join the conversation. They both then put earphones into their ears.
"Please don't tell the police that I am here. At this stage, the police shouldn't need to know I'm here."
Yihshyong and Chioujen said nothing. They just nodded.
Isn't this weird? Law enforcers hide from other law enforcers. This is a far cry from the official procedure they are supposed to carry out!
Even though he didn't know the real reason, Iren still tried to think positive. It was possible Jongli Jyhren suspected that there were spies on the police side.
