Chapter 21 Price Increase

About 15 minutes, Zhou Jindong walked into Huang Wenlin's office. Lin Xi looked at the other party's age in his early 30s, nearly 1.85 meters tall. He was full of spirit and his eyes were full of vitality. At first glance, he was a good hand.

Huang Wenlin didn't make much explanation. He just said that Lin Xi wanted to ask him for help and let him listen to the other party's request.

Although Zhou Jindong was very strange about Huang Wenlin's arrangement, as a policeman, he was used to obeying orders. He did not ask much and followed Lin Xi out of the door of the director's office.

After Lin Xi and Zhou Jindong left the Public Security Bureau, they found a small restaurant to sit down. Lin Xi introduced the context of the matter, especially the previous scene in Dongsheng Furniture Store.

After listening to Lin Xi's introduction, Zhou Jindong frowned and whispered, "Do you mean that this matter may have something to do with Fuleju Furniture City?"

When Lin Xi saw that the other party understood what he meant, it was naturally inconvenient to be too straightforward. He looked at Zhou Jindong and said, "Officer Zhou, I just made an inference based on what I saw in front of me. Of course, this is just an inference, and there is no evidence. Otherwise, the Bureau of Huang Bureau would not have made such an arrangement."

After hearing this, Zhou Jindong showed a smile on his face. Before that, because Lin Xi was too young, he could not believe the teenager. He even felt that the director arranged for him to help the other party just to take care of the face of the county magistrate. Now it seems that this should not be the case.

"Lin Xi, I know what happened. That's what I think." Zhou Jindong said, "I think it can be ignored whether this matter has anything to do with Fuleju for the time being. As long as the kidnapping is implemented, the next work will be easy."

After hearing this, Lin Xi nodded. It was indeed the case. The top priority now is to confirm that Dongsheng's boss He Shengqiang has been kidnapped, so that the police can intervene and other things will be much easier to operate.

"Since the crux of the problem has been found, let's eat quickly and then go straight to Dongsheng Furniture Store. As long as the kidnapper calls again, it will be easy." Zhou Jindong said, stretching out his hand to drag the noodles brought by the waiter and ate them.

After eating noodles, the two immediately rushed to Dongsheng. Lin Xi also deliberately wondered why Xuan brought a bowl. At this time, her heart must be in a mess, and there was no intention to cook food.

When they arrived at Dongsheng, it was already past seven o'clock, but due to the long summer days, it was not dark, but the gate of Dongsheng had been closed. When He Xuan learned that it was Lin Xi who came, he carefully opened the door. When she saw Zhou Jindong, she was stunned, but then invited them in.

After eating the noodles, He Xuan sat in front of the phone with Lin Xi and Zhou Jindong. After learning that Zhou Jindong was a policeman, He Xuan's face obviously became uneasy.

Lin Xi saw this and whispered to him, "It's okay. On the way here, Brother Zhou observed carefully and didn't find anyone following him. Besides, he was wearing casual clothes, and no one could see his identity."

After He Xuan heard this, the string in his heart suddenly loosened. She also didn't know why she trusted the teenager in front of her after just a few hours of dating. Although this is a little illogical, she really thinks so, which is really strange.

The three waited until nine o'clock, and the phone never rang. Lin Xi added water to Zhou Jindong's cup and said shyly, "Brother Zhou, I'm really sorry to let you spend it here!"

After hearing this, Zhou Jindong said with a smile and said, "It's okay. It's only nine o'clock now. Where can we go? Sometimes we squat for several days in order to catch the criminal, but you two can't stand it? Stand up and move?"

After hearing this, He Xuan and Lin Xi shook their heads together.

About ten minutes later, He Xuan was just about to get up and boil water, and the phone suddenly rang quickly. Although she had been looking forward to a call, she was still a little panicked when she really heard the bell ring.

Seeing this, Lin Xi took a step forward, patted He Xuan's shoulder and whispered, "It's okay. Brother Zhou and I are here. How do you usually pick it up? How do you answer it now!"

He Xuan hummed softly, took a breath, then reached out and pressed the hands-free button, and carefully asked, "Hey, who are you looking for?"

"I'll come to you, Miss He. Is the money ready? Our brother is a little impatient to wait. A man's strong voice came from the phone.

Although the human voice will change a lot through the spread of radio waves, Lin Xi suddenly believed that he must have heard it somewhere when he heard this sound.

After confirming the identity of the other party, He Xuan's heart settled down. She replied, "I will definitely prepare 50,000 yuan before ten o'clock tomorrow. Don't worry, but before that, I have to hear my brother's voice first. Otherwise, I will not only not deal with you, but also directly notify the police. Check."

This is the idea made by Lin Xi and Zhou Jindong to help He Xuan before. In order to prevent the other party from skeptical, they must hear He Shengqiang's voice. Otherwise, they will never talk about anything else.

He Xuan's request was obviously unexpected by the other party. There was a hesitant voice on the phone. Needless to say, there must be more than one person on the other party, whispering about this matter!

After a while, the male voice that spoke before sounded again. OK, Miss He, as you said, I'll let you listen to Mr. He's voice, but he is not here, so I can only play a recording for you.

After saying this, I only heard a crack from the phone, and He Shengqiang's voice sounded.

In the recording, He Shengqiang seems to be talking about business with others. From his words, he can't hear anything wrong. It seems that he has been kidnapped, but he seems to be meeting customers and bargaining for a certain business!

After hearing this sound, Lin Xi and Zhou Jindong were very puzzled. They looked at each other and didn't know what had happened to He Shengqiang.

The recording lasted for about half a minute, and then the male voice said, "Miss He, we have met your request. Now we also want to make a request. I hope you can agree. Since Mr. He has spent a lot of money in these days, the 50,000 yuan mentioned before is too little. Now we officially inform you that we will prepare 80,000 yuan before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and we will contact you again then.

Although He Xuan protested loudly, the other party ignored it and hung up the phone directly.
