Chapter 142 Kidnapping (3)
The FBI took action and it was indeed much more efficient. Early the next morning, FBI agents found the car that kidnapped Duke, but the SUV was burned into a light rack by the fire on the side of the road more than two hours from Boston.
With the energy of the FBI, the information about the car itself was quickly found, but there was nothing worth paying attention to. The registration information showed that it was a local Boston car. The owner was a very decent white-collar worker, and the car was just stolen on the day of the accident.
Therefore, the relevant information found from this car did not provide much valuable help to the case. The only thing that can be proved is that this is a planned premeditated crime. Judging from the suspect destroying the crime tools far away from the crime scene, it is very likely that the suspect did not come from Boston.
The head of the Boston FBI reported the situation to the headquarters and asked for support. The independent investigation team established fully began to take over the case, but the clues of the car that committed the crime were basically cut off due to the burning of the vehicle. On the other hand, judging from the names of the kidnappers provided by Duke, because names like Pitt and Hans are so common, at least millions of people in the United States call this name, and there are tens of thousands of cases left. Therefore, the investigation of this clue is not very meaningful, and the FBI's investigation is deadlocked.
Gret was not in a hurry either. He was waiting for the kidnappers to show their strength. Since it was to extort money, they would sooner or later contact Shuya or someone in Mi Company.
The news from the FBI made Shu Ya feel even more uncomfortable. She has never fallen asleep when she came back from the FBI last night. Now that she heard that the FBI had no choice but to do anything, Shu Ya's heart was even deeper.
Susanna moved over and took turns to take care of Selena. Seeing Shu Ya's face was haggard and her eyes were red, they didn't know how to comfort the poor girl.
I saw Shu Ya sitting on the bed with the phone in this way.
"Shuya, come and have something to eat." Susanna sighed. To be honest, Duke was worried that she was still very worried, but after all, she could not reveal it at this time, otherwise it would be a big problem for Shuya to notice something strange. She took the milk and sandwiches that Selena brought back from the Harvard Student Cafe and handed them to Shuya.
Shu Ya shook her head slightly. "Susanna, I really can't eat it. You think, how is Duke doing now?" When she came back last night, Shu Ya always thought of some terrible scenes and felt even more scared, "Will he have something to do?" When she said this, Shu Ya couldn't help but shed tears again.
Susanna felt even more sad when she heard this, and quickly comforted her: "No, Duke must be fine. If the kidnapper wants to get the money, he will definitely make him lively."
But Susanna said this herself, how could Shu Ya believe it?
"Duke has no grievances or grudges in the United States, and no one is bored to kidnap people. If Duke really wants to hurt him, then Duke should be found at the scene where the FBI found the car." However, Selena still maintained a meticulous accounting mind and analyzed according to common sense.
"Oh, it makes sense. If you say that, the purpose of the kidnappers must be for money, but for their own safety, they may now take Duke to a difficult place to find. It seems that they need time to deal with these things. After hiding Duke, they will definitely contact you."
Susanna's words seemed as accurate as a witch's prophecy. Because shortly after Susanna finished speaking, Shu Ya's phone began to make a sound.
The extremely gentle ringing sound of the ringing ringing sound on weekdays was now like a huge thunder that made Shu Ya's heart tremble. She looked down at the phone that was almost watery, and it prompted a new message!
Shu Ya's little hands trembled and opened the screen to lock, and pointed out a new message with a prompt: "Duke is in my hand, please send me a message on Twitter.
***The message on *** has been received, please pay immediately. Do not call the police, otherwise..."
"It was their message!" Shu Ya's face turned pale and screamed, "Duke is really kidnapped!"
Susanna and Selena immediately surrounded each other nervously and checked the short message together. After reading it, everyone looked at each other, "Do you want to tell the FBI agents about this?" Selena asked in a low voice.
Susanna shook her head, "No need, they have seen the information we can see long ago. Shuya, just do what he said."
Shu Ya quickly turned on the computer and found the twitte
After following the account, I left that sentence. Sure enough, another short message came, "Very good, please keep your phone and computer open, prepare for 50 million US dollars in remittance, and I will contact you again."
This time, no request was made. Shu Ya and the others waited for a long time, and no new text messages popped up on their phones.
Shu Ya just received a message here. On the FBI investigation team, the technicians who had been monitoring Shu Ya's mobile phone immediately started to nervously analyze the source of the text message, and quickly figured out the source of the text message.
This short message was sent from a certain website. It is a social networking website that provides free short message sending function. FBI agents found the website and found that it was a bare metal that could be controlled at will. The investigation clues were interrupted here.
This is a cunning veteran and seems to be very proficient in computer knowledge.
However, for Shu Ya, this is a major progress. All the signs so far indicate that the purpose of the kidnappers is to make money. This is not a good news.
When Shu Ya was in a state of uneasyness, Duke and his party were still rushing on an unknown highway.
"Peter, tell me what are your plans?" After about a night of speeding, Duke found that Pitt and the others had no intention of stopping at all, and couldn't help asking. After the initial panic, Duke had completely calmed down and tried his best to cooperate along the way, without showing any attempt to escape. Even when he was passing by, Duke did not make any suspicious sounds.
"Dr. Duke, don't worry, I think we've worked together happily all the way." Pete began to relax as he saw that he was thousands of miles away from Boston. "Don't worry, everyone is just for money. We don't want to complicate a simple thing. To be honest, I hate doing such things, and there is no technical content at all. But this time the reward is really generous, so I reluctantly make it difficult to get this trip."
Since changing the car, Duke and his four men moved to a Ford RV. Except Duke, the other three took turns to rest. Now it was a black man driving, while another white man named Hans was sleeping. Duke's hands were wrapped around his back with tape. Because Duke performed well along the way, the sealing glue in his mouth was taken off while he was rushing, and it was only sealed when he was refueling.
"Peter, tell me, how much do you plan to pay?" Although Duke was very sleepy, the kidnappers took turns to rest, but he couldn't close his eyes. Although he was covered with eye masks, he must have been covered with blood. "Maybe there is no need to be so troublesome. I can handle it with just a phone call."
"For me, it's not a big problem to be able to settle things with money?"
"Is that so, how much do you think you should be worth?" Pete looked at Duke with interest.
"How much am I worth?" Duke was stunned for a moment. This question was really hard to answer. Could it be that the kidnappers kidnapped him for blackmail and were not very clear about his situation? Duke was a little confused and had to say perfunctorily: "I really don't know how much I am worth? But I guess millions should be worth it."
"Haha, it seems you know your price very well," Pete laughed. "Tell you the truth, someone asked your brothers to get you to California and paid us a million dollars. Now it seems that the deal is actually quite good. We just need to go through a not-so-great journey."
Although Duke's emotional intelligence is quite average, he wouldn't tell Pete that I'll give you two million dollars and I'll send me back. This is too uncomfortable, and I don't know how many people can do it.
From Pitt's words just now, Duke knew that behind this matter, there was someone planning and presidency. This group of kidnappers were just executed. Strictly speaking, they were only responsible for arresting people. The subsequent events did not have much to do with them. No wonder Pitt and the others looked relatively relaxed. It turned out that they were only responsible for one of the businesses. Although this kidnapping was also a crime, the crime was relatively not too serious.
Looking at the expressions of Peter and Hans, they are obviously veterans in doing this kind of thing, which means they are not fledgling rookies, but experienced gang members. At present, although they have some knowledge of themselves, they don’t have much knowledge. They probably play small roles who earn hard-earned money in the gang.
There was no action of Pitt and the others in contact with the outside world along the way, so this action was planned in advance. However, Duke really couldn't think of anyone in the United States who was as deep as the sea of hatred as him, and actually kidnapped him across thousands of kilometers.
Thinking of this, Duke's heart was even more depressed. The possibility of escaping from these three tightly guarded kidnappers was extremely small. Not to mention anything else, looking at the average melee force value alone, Duke felt that each of the three could easily deal with him. Not to mention that the other party obviously had more powerful weapons.
