Chapter 085
Shimen Yihshyong
Shimen Yihshyong could feel a frown on his forehead. He shook his head. He was so sure that there was a much simpler explanation for the phone call that had just come in.
"I agree with you." Chioujen spat out those words quickly.
"Let's first turn on our communication devices." While speaking, Yihshyong got up from the couch. He walked over to the phone. He lit the two box-shaped Huahshiangs. After that, Yihshyong put earphones into both his ears.
There was someone following him. Yihshyong turned around. He saw Iren standing right beside him. Iren quickly put the earphones from the other Huahshiang into his ear.
"Good night. We are the police. Can you hear my voice?" There was a sound from the earphones they were wearing.
Turns out my guess was right. The police are trying to contact us.
"We can hear your voice very clearly." The sentence came out of Yihshyong's mouth in such a steady tone. The voice of the policeman who was speaking differed from the voices of the policemen who had previously spoken to them.
They have deployed a lot of police officers to handle this case.
"We are the party that just called your house." The policeman repeated the words they had just said. "We've tried contacting Mr. Mingju's pager, but it looks like our message didn't get through."
"Jinqkang, let's see what happened to Tsaehorng's pager," Yihshyong said. This afternoon, before going to the hospital, Tsaehorng gave one of his pagers to Jinqkang. The young man did have another pager. However, Yihshyong suspected the pager number the police knew was the pager number that was in Jinqkang's hand.
The police must have sent the message to the pager in this kid's hand.
Jinqkang took out a pager from his pocket. He looked at it for a moment.
"Did any messages come in?" Iren asked.
"This pager is off, Sir," said Jinqkang
Tsaehorng immediately said. "I'm sorry. It's possible the battery ran out. It's time to replace the battery."
"Sorry, Sir," said Yihshyong. "Mr. Mingju's pager has run out of battery. Is there anything important that the police want to tell us?"
"That's true, Sir. We intend to inform you of the progress of our investigation."
What? Late at night like this, they want to report the course of the investigation? Isn't this a strange thing? So far, the police have never announced the course of the investigation. Now, suddenly he said something like this. How could they think we wouldn't find this kind of action somewhat suspicious?
Yihshyong turned to Iren. His friend frowned. It was clear that Iren also smelled something strange.
"Please explain to us," said Yihshyong.
"What happened in the park, at first glance, doesn't make much sense. But we suspect it's just a tactic the kidnappers used. We also think that from the start they didn't intend to use the park as a place for the handover of the ransom. "
"Then what about the person who met us, Sir?" Yihshyong asked.
"Earlier, when we were still in the park, as soon as we listened to that person's explanation, we came to the conclusion that the man, the actor who met Mr. Shimen, was deliberately brought there in order to distract the police from their real plan."
Yihshyong turned to Iren. His friend grinned. The police also thought the same as them. The kidnappers, from the very beginning, had planned to use other means to contact them.
It turns out that the police in this city are not stupid!
"The kidnappers most likely used the actor to confuse the police. Earlier, we concluded the kidnappers would immediately contact you to inform you about when and how you should hand over the ransom. Therefore, we retreated from the location of the pond and its surroundings right away."
Very weird! They didn't explain it to us. What if we were so stupid that we immediately walked out of the park? How could the police be sure that we would come to the same conclusion?
"We're really sorry about that. We didn't explain it to all of you because we didn't want the kidnappers to realize that we could read their movements."
"It's all right, Sir," Yihshyong said. "Totally, we can understand that."
"Our guess is not wrong. While you were looking for messages that your kidnappers might have left around the pond, we saw that someone was watching your movements. After you found the package in the cavity of one of the stone benches there, the person left the place straight away. We followed that person very carefully. We don't want to lose such a precious track."
Iren raised his hand. He pointed at Chioujen. Chioujen quickly approached. Iren removed an earphone from one ear. He then gave the earphone to Chioujen, who instantly put the earphone in his ears.
"We followed the man with the utmost care. He left the place in a car which turned out to be heading straight for Pyngyuan."
Hah! Are they headed this way?
Did that person's car really stop at a location near here?" Yihshyong asked.
"Right, Sir. The man we followed entered into a fairly large house. The location of the house is approximately three kilometers from our current location. Until this moment, the person is still inside the house. We haven't taken any action yet because this time we have to be sure that the person we're tailing is not just a distraction."
This is really significant progress!
"Thank you for your notice," said Yihshyong. "Now, what do the police want from us? What should we do?"
"We want you to tell us in detail what is in the package that you found in Chingjoong Park earlier. If the contents of the package are too difficult for you to describe, perhaps you should just send it to us."
The policeman stopped talking for a moment.
But we haven't unwrapped it yet!
The policeman resumed his words. "The method is not difficult. Just like before, when you gave us the paper containing the message from the kidnappers."
"I am Nangong Iren. Can I speak?"
Yihshyong was surprised. Iren suddenly cut off the policeman's words.
"Please, Sir!" answered the police. "But first, I want to hear an answer from Mr. Shimen."
"We haven't opened the package yet," Yihshyong said. "Right now, we're getting together to discuss the things that happened today. We were just about to open this package when you called."
"All right. We understand. Later, you can tell us about the contents of the package. Mr. Nangong, please ask the question."
"What about the people involved in the accident this afternoon in front of the grocery store? Are there any additional facts that the police have discovered?"
"Regarding the motorcyclist and passenger, we are still trying to track him down. So we can't give any new information about them. But regarding the car that was hit in front of the grocery store, we saw it about half an hour ago."
"Where did the police find the car?" Iren's voice sounded so enthusiastic.
"The car was circling in a residential complex not far from here. After about five minutes, the car then left the housing complex."
"I am Jongharng Chioujen. Who is the driver of the car?" Chioujen, who looked impatient, also asked the Police.
"Based on the characteristics described by our officers in the field, the driver of the car is still the same person as the driver this afternoon. He is your neighbor, Mr. Horngshi Gauchyh."
Yihshyong held his breath when he heard the policeman's words.
"Where exactly is the housing complex, Sir?" Iren asked.
"The housing complex is the housing complex where the house that the person we followed from Chingjoong Park entered. Our officers saw the car while monitoring the house."
Iren turned to Yihshyong. His face was so tense.
"Then, are there any police who are currently following Mr. Horngshi Gauchyh?" asked Chioujen.
"There is, Sir!" Answer the police. "But this time we are very careful. So we follow him from quite a distance. Therefore, the risk of losing his track is quite high."
"Alright! Thank you, Sir, for the information," said Iren.
"You are welcome, Sir. Please don't turn off this device. So you can find out quickly if there is something we want to say. We'll talk again exactly an hour from now, after you open the package," said the policeman. After that, the policeman immediately cut off the connection.
Yihshyong turned to Jenqyih, Tsaehorng, and Jinqkang. With faces full of question marks, the three of them looked straight at Yihshyong, Iren, and Chioujen.
"Now, please explain to the three of them what the police just told us." Yihshyong patted Iren's shoulder.
Iren nodded. He recounted the contents of the conversation that had just taken place between them and the police. Jenqyih didn't show any great surprise. Likewise, with Tsaehorng. Although they didn't hear what the policeman said earlier, but from the words that came out of the mouths of Iren, Chioujen, and Yihshyong, they seemed to have guessed what had happened.
However, unlike Tsaehorng and Jenqyih, Jinqkang looked surprised. Yihshyong guessed Jinqkang was the one with the least experience in dealing with thrilling things, at least among the people present here. Tsaehorng was indeed younger than Jinqkang. But he had joined a group of delinquent youths, so he had more or less experienced things that were thrilling to the soul. After all, the series of events that day was probably too tiring for Jinqkang. Both physically and mentally.
"You must be exhausted." Jenqyih patted Jinqkang on the back.
Yihshyong knew that, like him, Jenqyih might also feel that the events that had befallen them that day were too much for Jinqkang. All of them who were there had experienced things like that for a few days, so if something new happened again, it wouldn't be too surprising.
"It's all right, Sir!" Jinqkang replied. "So many things have happened today. I don't know what to say. I'm a little tired, but I can bear it. Gentlemen here, please don't worry."
From Jinqkang's tone, Yihshyong could tell there was a hint of fear. But, at the same time, there also radiated a kind of passion or great curiosity. Yihshyong knew Jinqkang was still so young that perhaps the young man didn't understand what he was feeling either.
When he decided to wander in Shannchyuan's footsteps, Yihshyong was afraid. Afraid of facing things or problems that he has never faced before, but at the same time, Yihshyong felt an extraordinary passion and passion to discover new things. Maybe the thing he felt at that time was similar to Jinqkang's feeling now.
"If you are tired, you should just rest in one room," said Iren. "You can use Shinnshiow's bed. Uh, tonight, you're staying here, right?"
Jinqkang turned to Tsaehorng.
"Of course, Uncle. I have already lent Jinqkang to all of you." Tsaehorng smiled broadly. "Jinqkang, you can rest if you feel tired."
"No, Sir! I'm not tired yet." Jinqkang answered firmly.
Yihshyong smiled. It was clearly impossible for Jinqkang to enter the room right now. Except for Tsaehorng, the people there were all much older than him. He would definitely feel embarrassed if he rested first.
"It's getting late. We shouldn't waste time. I think it's best if we open this package now. Aren't the police also waiting for information from us?" said Tsaehorng.
Yihshyong nodded. He grabbed the package that lay in front of him. Just like the message they got this afternoon, they also found a wooden box inside the package. The wooden box was exactly the same as the wooden box that arrived this afternoon. This fact made Yihshyong sure that the package they found must have been sent by the same party.
