Chapter 258 Kidnapping suspicion ([-])

Liang Xi took up the previous topic and said: "So although there are various possibilities, the locator is the most effective method." This is the fact that Liang Xi identified early on. , things get tricky.

Liang Xi said again: "This case is different from the kidnapping cases I know. One important point: the kidnapper in this kidnapping case was very calm and patient. Four or five hours have passed, and the kidnapper only made one phone call. Urging, not asking, just waiting patiently. It is relatively rare in a kidnapping case to actively send a video of two hostages. Under normal circumstances, only when the hostage asks, the kidnapper may let the hostage talk to the hostage, or let the hostage follow the hostage’s request Take today's newspaper and shoot a video."

Liang Xidao: "It means that the gangster is professional, well-trained, experienced, and has a plan. But then the problem arises. The gangster put forward a condition of not calling the police for 72 hours. How can he ensure that the sufferer will do what he says? Quietly Will the gangsters know if they call the police? How did the gangsters find out when the police secretly investigated? One possibility: The gangsters are monitoring the bitter master’s house, which is quite difficult, especially after the security company fully intervenes to take over the security of the manor. "

Bobby pointed at Liang Xi and said excitedly, "According to what I know about you, you have a third possibility."

Liang Xi was startled: "Grass!" How did he know?
Bobby smiled smugly: "Tell me."

Liang Xi said: "The second one may be more difficult. The reason is that the security company took over the security, and in order to prevent villains from calling the police maliciously and killing people, they monitored the mobile phones of the manor staff. So I wondered if there would be a second one. Three possibilities? The gangsters are very familiar with the situation of Jie's family and know that Jie's family will never call the police."

Bobby pondered for a while: "If you say this, there is depth. Let me tell you that Jeff admires his younger son Jamie more. Jamie is very similar to Jeff, in terms of work style, work attitude, etc. Jeff. But Jack's mother's family holds part of the equity of the Mercury Group, and they will not agree to let their illegitimate son Jamie inherit the family business."

Bobby said: "Jack can die, Jessica can die, but Jack and Jessica can't die together. Once they die, Jamie will become the legal heir, and Jack's mother's family will immediately withdraw the equity entrustment. The status of Mercury Group will change from dominant holding to ordinary shareholder. To put it bluntly, if Jack and Jessica encounter misfortune, Mercury Group may not necessarily collapse, but Jeff will definitely have a hard time."

Bobby said: "Few people know about the family affairs. My dad just happened to know that my dad helped Jamie's career at the request of his old friend Jeff, so he knew about the situation of Jie's family. Jack's mother After his early death, Jack's natal family was quite generous, and they negotiated to hand over all the shares of Mercury to Jack's mother's children."

Liang Xi asked, "How many people know about the family?"

Bobby thought for a while: "Except for the people from her natal family, the brothers and sisters of Jie's family, only the housekeeper knows. Could it be that Jamie did it? No matter who dies in the kidnapping case, he is the biggest beneficiary. It is best for two people They all died. I heard a call from the director of the security company, and he personally thinks this case is not like a traditional kidnapping case.”

Liang Xi said: "That's why I can't talk nonsense. After my analysis, I think many people are suspects. First of all, Jeff..."

Bobby didn't spit out: "Jessica and Jack are Jeff's biological children."

Liang Xi: "Then I won't talk about it." I'm talking about the case. If you want to talk about human relations with me, I can't talk about it.

Bobby signaled: Please.

Liang Xi said: "Jeff doesn't like Jack, especially Jack's work attitude. I think there is also family pressure that causes him to have rebellious emotions. Men from eight years old to 80 years old may have rebellious emotions. It means that Jeff originally Going to let Jack take over, but because of the pressure from the family to take over, Jeff doesn't want Jack to take over. Although this idea sounds weird, as a man, you should understand. "I want to work hard, but you push me Work hard, I don't want to work anymore.This may be the only boy character that girls can't understand.

Liang Xi said: "I also found that Jessica is very motivated, hardworking, and eager to learn. Jessica is not responsible for any real work, and it cannot be ruled out that Jeff is observing Jessica. Jeff must not have expected that Jessica Will go to special school with Jack."

Bobby said, "One thing to say, I don't think Jeff is so good at acting."

Liang Xidao: "One thing to say, I don't think you are qualified to judge whether others can act or not."

Bobby was angry: "Want to fight?"

The chief bodyguard sighed in his heart: Here we go again.Everything was well said, and there was always someone who couldn't help but mock the other party, and then interrupted the conversation.

The head of the bodyguard: "Is there anything else?" Hitting and not fighting, the two voices are louder than each other, so let's smooth things over.

Liang Xi was brought back to the topic, and said: "Jeff has to do a lot of tricks, and the technical problem is not big. We are going back to the kidnappers. I think they may be Sun, Moon and Star."

There was a kidnapping case at the Sun Moon Star Club in Spain. After killing two hostages who had not paid the ransom, the two kidnappers jumped into the sea and escaped.After the investigation, it was found that the dead hostages had problems with asset inheritance.

Liang Xi asked: "Is it possible that this time it is also a matter of the rich and powerful fighting for the right of inheritance? Is the purpose of killing someone in the name of kidnapping?"

Bobby said: "The one who will be killed must be Jack. The kidnapper takes the money, and the culprit inherits."

Liang Xi replied: "Therefore, my sister Jessica is also a suspect." After Jeff, Liang Xi raised the second suspect.

Bobby: "Do you want to be so dark? How bad are you to think of such a beautiful, intellectual, intelligent and kind girl as a bad person?"

Liang Xi squinted at Bobby, but Bobby said helplessly, "Say it, say it."

Liang Xi said: "Jamie is the most suspicious person, but there are technical problems with his installation of the locator. I have inquired and understood his suspicion, but I have no chance to find him. The only possibility is to hire someone else to install the locator. Locator. Only four people have a chance, and two of them appeared together, how long does it take to install a locator?" Liang Xi looked at the head of the bodyguard.

The head of the bodyguard thought for a while, stepped forward and helped Bobby remove a hair on his back with his right hand, and said, "It's installed."

Bobby was dissatisfied: "What did you install?"

The bodyguard stretched out two fingers and pulled a pin out of Poppy's hair.After Bobby cut his hair short, he used pomade, and the pins were inserted into the hair by the bodyguard.The head of the bodyguard took off the shoes and pointed to the concave part of the shoes and explained: "The sole is a chewing gum type locator. There is also an injection type rice grain locator. As long as the volume is small enough, the difficulty of installation and placement is very low."

Bobby didn't want to discuss the topic of embarrassment, so he summed up Liang Xi's analysis: "Liang Xi, do you think the ghosts might be Jeff, Jessica, and Jamie?"

Liang Xi said: "No, I think the inner ghost may be one of Jeff, Jessica, Jamie and Jack."

Bobby's jaw was about to drop: "Jack? Kidnap yourself?"

Liang Xi said, "Didn't you realize that Jack also has an interest in getting rid of Jessica?"

Bobby asked: "What are the benefits?"

Liang Xi replied: "Jeff is not satisfied with Jack, especially Jack's work attitude. Let me tell you, when choosing an heir, don't worry about the heir not having business genes. He is a mediocre person, because the company is already on track, and many people rely on the company for a living. They will spare no effort to help Jack. As we often say, the rich second generation can't ruin the family business by eating and drinking, but gambling is another matter. Jeff needs a successor who has a sense of responsibility, but Jack doesn't .”

Liang Xi took the mobile phone: "Chris helped me translate Jack's daily graffiti. It is a music score with a South American style, similar to Mexico. Chris asked a friend to read the score. The friend thought it was a personal interest in composing music, with a certain level and talent. Known conditions: The family does not allow Jamie to take over, the family allows Jack to take over, and the family allows Jessica to take over. Jeff likes Jessica the most, Jamie next, and Jack next. As long as Jack gets rid of Jessica, Jack Definitely take over as president, no matter how bad he is."

Bobby said: "Jessica may also kill Jack, and she becomes the only choice."

Liang Xi nodded: "Yes, this is the reason why I doubt Jessica. The problem now is not who I suspect, but even if I suspect someone, I dare not confirm it. The kidnapper has two hostages, which is a big problem for the sufferer. Bad news is also good news when you think about it the other way around. As a sufferer, you can tell the kidnappers to release one person first and give you 50 million."

Bobby understood Liang Xi's meaning: "The kidnappers have to choose one of the two and release one of them. Jack is the most valuable target, and Jessica is a delicate woman. It is reasonable to release Jessica. But if the kidnappers release If Jack is arrested and Jessica is detained, it can be proved that the ghost is Jack, and he wants to get rid of his sister."

Liang Xi said: "If Jack is the ghost, this method may be effective, and at the same time directly question Jack, let Jack contact the accomplice kidnapper to release Jessica. But the problem is, if Jack is not the ghost, Jessica was released ? After Jack was torn apart by the kidnappers, we can only prove that Jack is not the ghost."

Liang Xi said: "I've finished the analysis, it's up to you to make the decision, who do you think is the inner ghost?"

"This... can't this be investigated again?"

Liang Xi said: "I personally think that the probability that one of Jessica and Jack is the insider is more than 80%. Even if we investigate again, reducing the probability to 10% will have no effect on the overall situation." 80% you dare not bet, 10% % You don't even dare to bet.

Bobby pondered, and it was a rare time to think deeply, and said: "I found something wrong. Isn't Jessica very hardworking and serious? Why did she leave her job and follow Jack to fish in the suburbs?"

Liang Xi asked back: "How do you know that Jessica has a job? How do you know that she is fishing? Maybe there is something you want to talk to Jack about? You are right, fishing is not in line with Jessica's character. Monitoring It shows that when Jack walked out of the office, Jessica greeted him and spoke, and then the two left together. Assuming that Jessica didn't beg Jack to take her out for a drive, is there any other possibility?"

Bobby thought for a while, his head hurt, and he looked at the head of the bodyguard: "He asked you."

The bodyguard replied: "Jessica wants to explain something to Jack."

Liang Xi pointed to the head of the bodyguard: "It is possible. Jessica may have done something unfriendly to Jack. Or Jessica has hindered Jack's interests. There may be many, and I will classify them into two categories. The first category: Jack The husband gave up Jack and trained Jessica. The second category: Jessica played against Jack in order to snatch the inheritance."

Liang Xi said: "In the first case, Jeff knows, and in the second case, Jeff doesn't know. You can ask Jeff. By the way, help me ask a question that I can't find an answer in the company: Jessica and Jamie's relationship. Are you on good terms?"

Poppy asked, "Why do you ask that question?"

Liang Xi replied: "Jessica's office has a bookshelf, and there are many financial and business professional books on it. I browsed a few books at random, and I think there are several contradictions. The first contradiction: Jessica has only been in the company for a month or two. It is impossible for her to read all the books and add annotations, and it is impossible for her to turn the book so badly. Jessica is a graduate student in Germany, and all the books on the shelf are English books. It can be said that Jessica did not bring it back from Germany Yes, at least not all of them."

Liang Xi: "The second contradiction, I read a few books, and found that there are two people's annotations in the book. Jamie is engaged in industrial funds, and there are many books related to industrial funds in the bookshelf. Mercury Group's main business is industrial manufacturing , There are not many books in this part, and there are no comments from two people.” Industrial funds are venture capital companies, called industrial investment funds, and to put it simply, they buy equity.Seeing that your company has prospects, I will buy your equity. Usually, the clients are potential new companies and enterprises.There are two ways, one is to acquire the shares of the company, become a shareholder, and have the right to participate in decision-making.One is contractual shareholders, who only enjoy dividends and cannot participate in decision-making.

Industrial funds and industrial manufacturing are two different things.

Bobby nodded and asked, "Anything else?"

Liang Xi said: "There is also what I just said: I think the kidnappers may be Sun Yuexing. This group of people helped the rich get rid of the heir in Spain." Thresh once showed off his intelligence network to Liang Xi and told Liang Xi Xi Sun Yue Xing is a killer, not a kidnapper.They killed two people in the Sun Moon Star Club, one of them was 17 years old this year, and he could inherit his father's inheritance when he was 18 years old.Before that, the father's estate was managed by the guardian, his uncle.After his death, his uncle became the sole heir.

Liang Xi said: "This may not be a kidnapping case, but a case of using the kidnapping case to fight for inheritance rights."

Bobby said: "Liang Xi, I appreciate your objective inference and subjective sense of smell the most. You speak out your inner thoughts directly."

Liang Xi said: "It's about human life. If I guess wrong, someone will die unjustly. I'm not sure about this case, and people will die again, so I won't talk nonsense."

Bobby asked, "What about in private?"

Liang Xi said: "You can't talk nonsense in private, what if you sell me if you change hands. I'll make a phone call first."

Liang Xi called Fiona, and Fiona said, "Hi."

Liang Xi: "I have something to do with you privately."

Fiona: "Go ahead."

Liang Xi likes Fiona's emotional character, she helps you only because she is willing to help you, and there are no other factors.
