159: Find the kidnapping location, strong and outstanding ability

Gao Ze glanced at the kidnapping video but didn't open it immediately. He looked at the signal detector flashing lights next to Wei Haoran and asked, "What was the situation when the kidnappers called? Captain Wei, did you not detect the source of the kidnapper's phone signal?"

"No, the kidnappers seemed to know about our Police presence and had prepared anti-detection measures in advance."

Wei Haoran shook his head, "Our equipment detected that the other party's phone signal wasn't even in Donghai City, but overseas!"

"Besides that, the kidnapper's voice was also processed with a voice changer; it was a rough male voice, not the red-dressed woman we investigated."

"Ms. Han Jingmei, what do you think?"

The kidnappers had indeed prepared thorough anti-reconnaissance measures. Gao Ze's gaze fell on Han Jingmei.

"What do I think?"

Han Jingmei frowned slightly. From his gaze, she saw an aggressive sharpness. She said coldly, "Officer Gao, what do you mean? What kind of attitude is that?"

"What I mean is, what are your speculations about the kidnapper's identity!"

"Are you still going to hide it now?"

Gao Ze questioned her without politeness, saying, "Your husband Zhou Xiaodong's daughter, Zhou Lina, did you use means to make her disappear back then?!"

Ah?

Inside Zhou Xiaodong's villa hall, Wei Haoran and several Police Officers widened their eyes in unison.

What's going on?

Zhou Xiaodong had another child, Zhou Lina, and she might have been lost by Han Jingmei?

They had no idea about this secret!

If Gao Ze hadn't revealed it, they would have remained in the dark.

Han Jingmei's expression hardened. She quickly glanced at her husband, Zhou Xiaodong, then glared, her eyes cold: "Officer Gao, I warn you to mind your attitude. I am not your prisoner!"

"Han Jingmei, are you still not going to say anything at all?"

"Threatening me?"

Gao Ze's eyes narrowed, a cold smile appearing on his face: "Are you relying on your status, confident that I can't do anything to you? But do you believe that the cases I handle, even your father can't control, and he can't do anything to me either."

"If you don't believe me, call him now and see if he tells you to follow Police procedures or tells me to take off this Police uniform!"

Having already received Zhao Mingsheng's approval, he didn't care if he offended Han Fenglin.

Moreover, Gao Ze was confident that the bigger the conflict escalated, the more Han Fenglin would adhere to the rules. At least on the surface, he had to be flawless, otherwise, his position would be targeted.

"You—"

Feeling the fierce and brutal aura rushing towards her, Han Jingmei took a step back in fright, her face visibly paling.

She hadn't expected that the person she was so proud of would not make Gao Ze afraid at all. She didn't know what to do.

"Officer Gao, Ms. Han didn't mean that!"

Wei Haoran was also startled. Gao Ze actually chose to be tough, showing no fear of Han Fenglin, who was behind Han Jingmei. He was too fierce! If he didn't have a backer, this kind of play would get him sent to watch a reservoir for the rest of his life.

Zhou Xiaodong also stepped forward to mediate: "Officer Gao, my wife's attitude might have been problematic. I apologize to you."

Gao Ze waved his hand at Wei Haoran and Zhou Xiaodong, then stared intently at Han Jingmei: "Are you going to speak or not? I am currently helping you find your son Zhou Xinchen. If you refuse to disclose anything, your son will most likely not escape death!"

For a second-generation like Han Jingmei, as long as she didn't immediately choose to make a phone call, she was definitely a paper tiger. He was very confident.

"My husband's daughter, Zhou Lina, went missing and was abducted; it wasn't my doing!"

Han Jingmei gritted her teeth and said, "When my husband Zhou Xiaodong and I got married, I was very good to Lina and never mistreated her, nor did I have anyone abduct her!"

"Then why is it such a coincidence that Zhou Lina went missing and was abducted while buying milk tea after school, and your son was also kidnapped while buying milk tea?"

Gao Ze asked, "Moreover, the person who kidnapped your child specifically mentioned to you that if you start it, she will finish it, specifically to get revenge on you!"

"How would I know!"

Tears streamed down Han Jingmei's face. She squatted down, clutching her head, and sobbed:

"I don't know, Zhou Lina's disappearance wasn't my doing. I didn't harm anyone. I just want to find my son."

Seeing her like this, Gao Ze frowned and didn't press further.

From Han Jingmei's facial expression, she didn't seem to be faking it; there was a sense of genuine emotion, but she was highly suspicious.

"Show me the kidnapping video sent by the kidnappers!"

He motioned for a Police Officer to bring a laptop. Gao Ze clicked on the video. The screen showed an old, empty, unfinished house. A six or seven-year-old boy in a green shirt was tied to a stool, loudly crying, "Mommy, Daddy."

At the same time.

Sunlight slanted in through a glass window on the left side of the house. A chimney was faintly visible outside the window.

This video was very short, only two or three seconds long, and the kidnapper's figure did not appear in it.

"Officer Gao, did you see anything from the kidnapping video?"

"I saw some things."

Gao Ze nodded and played the kidnapping video twice. He had already noticed some clues, focusing on the environment of the kidnapping scene, rather than the kidnapped child, Zhou Xinchen.

"I know where the child Zhou Xinchen is tied up!"

"What?"

Wei Haoran's body trembled. He looked at Gao Ze in disbelief. Han Jingmei stopped crying and suddenly grabbed Gao Ze's arm:

"Officer Gao, is what you're saying true?"

"My attitude was wrong just now. I apologize to you. Please, save my child. Tell me where he's tied up?"

"Wait a moment, I'll check the publicly available property information online."

Han Jingmei was both hateful and pitiful. Gao Ze would not let emotions interfere with the case, especially when the victim was an innocent little boy. After spending more than ten minutes searching, he gave the specific location:

"In the kidnapping video, the building where the child Zhou Xinchen was kidnapped should be Tiancheng residential district in Jinshan District, Donghai."

"Officer Gao, how did you figure that out?"

Wei Haoran and many Police Officers found it hard to believe. This very short kidnapping video had almost no valuable clues.

Besides a building, what else was there?

"Sunlight, the chimney outside the window, the room layout, and the sound of car horns in the video."

Seeing Wei Haoran and the other Police Officers still looking confused, Gao Ze had no choice but to continue explaining:

"The child Zhou Xinchen was kidnapped starting at noon. This video was filmed by the kidnapper in the afternoon. From the sunlight entering the room through the window in the video, it's projected from the southwest direction, and there's also a chimney outside the window."

"From this, it can be determined that the kidnapping video was filmed in the western part of Donghai City!"

"And in the western part of Donghai City, there are two districts: Songhu District and Jinshan District."

"But Songhu District is unlikely, because Songhu District has a strong economy and a new urban construction appearance, so it's unlikely to have large chimneys."

"Jinshan District, on the other hand, is Donghai City's old industrial zone. Although it has been implementing energy and emission reductions in recent years, gradually shutting down many heavy industrial enterprises, many industrial constructions can still be seen."

"To determine the specific location in Tiancheng residential district, I checked the floor plans of real estate developments online!"

"Tiancheng residential district is a very old commercial housing complex. The online floor plan images show an unfinished three-bedroom, one-living room layout, which is identical to the kidnapping video. Moreover, Tiancheng residential district is close to the main road of Jinshan District, and residents often complain about noise, which matches the horn sound in the video."

Amazing!

The sound became silent at this moment.

Every Jinghai District Police Officer's eyes were filled with admiration.

Han Jingmei and her husband Zhou Xiaodong were stunned. Looking at the young Gao Ze and the middle-aged Wei Haoran in his forties, they finally understood why the former could achieve such a great reputation in the Donghai City Police force and gain the appreciation of high-ranking leaders, showing no fear of Han Fenglin.

It was all based on ability!

Key clues that others couldn't find, Gao Ze could find. Cases that others couldn't solve, Gao Ze could solve. When others could find clues, Gao Ze had already grasped the entire truth of the case.

His formidable ability was his fundamental strength, something no one could take away, only choose to rely on him.

"Officer Gao, I will now lead a team to Tiancheng residential district in Jinshan District to apprehend the kidnappers and rescue the hostage."
