Chapter 371: ransom demand

?When Lin Rui and Jiangan walked into Wolf's office, they encountered Wolf with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Wolf." Lin Rui put the document in his hand on the table, "This is the document I promised to retrieve, and now it's returned to the original owner, and I promise that nothing on it will leak out. ."

Wolff said nervously, "You came just in time. Even if you didn't come, I'm going to send someone to find you."

"What's the matter? Could it be that there has been the latest progress in the hostage incident?" Lin Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes. The other party has asked for a ransom." Wolf said solemnly.

Lin Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, this development of things made him feel a little surprised. Because he was almost certain that the Society would never be simply for ransom. So he quietly asked Wolf, "What did they ask for. Can we trace the phone number, or the email address?"

"None of them. The way they send messages is very primitive." Wolf said with a wry smile, "They use people to send letters."

"The letter was sent by a person, so who is the person who sent the letter and where is he?" Lin Rui said in amazement.

Wolfe nodded and said, "The person who delivered the letter is already under control, right next door, with guards watching him. The letter that was delivered was also very strange, typed on an old-fashioned typewriter, with a few grammatical and spelling mistakes. mistake. Apparently the person who wrote the letter was not very proficient in English."

He said and handed the letter in his hand to Lin Rui. Lin Rui looked a little surprised and said, "$200,000, it seems that the amount of ransom they asked for is not very high. What are you going to do?"

"The company's top management has been negotiating urgently. This lady's identity is extremely special, and she was invited by our company. If she really has an accident, it will be very detrimental to the company. I think if it is really just this ransom The price should be completely acceptable. The top management of the company may decide to spend money to avoid disaster and pay the ransom." Wolf nodded.

Behind ExxonMobil is the Rockefeller consortium. This institution extends its sphere of influence to all sectors of the national economy by continuously controlling financial institutions. It's a real wealthy chaebol. Just kidding and extorting $200,000 from them is simply despising them.

Lin Rui shook his head and said, "This news is very suspicious. I advise you not to believe it."

"Why?" Wolf frowned.

"Because this is like a joke at all." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "A personal question, Mr. Wolf, what is your position in the company?"

"Deputy Director of Security for the Libyan Regional Project." Wolf frowned.

Lin Rui shrugged and said, "This position shouldn't be too high. But your salary for a few weeks can reach this amount. Am I right?"

Wolfe hesitated, then nodded.

"These two hundred thousand dollars are probably not enough to buy the light helicopter that was forced to land after being hit. The kidnappers with a little common sense also know that. People who can afford a private helicopter will never be worth this low. Besides, your planes The logo of ExxonMobil is very obvious. The kidnappers can't ask for only so much for blackmailing a big company like you, one of the seven largest oil companies in the world." Lin Rui shook his head.

"Yes, at first we also doubted the authenticity of this incident. But the messenger brought the hostage's token." Wolf sighed, "The cufflinks of Mr. Robert, the project director, the lady The ring and the pilot's glasses. These are absolutely impossible to impersonate." He pointed to the items in a plastic bag on the table.

Lin Rui said with a wry smile, "This is even more problematic. The project director, Mr. Robert, is undoubtedly a person who pays attention to taste, because the cufflinks are made of platinum and diamonds. The lady's ring is even more powerful, not only this ruby It's worth a lot. The family crest is also engraved on the inner wall of the ring, which looks like an antique. The value of these two things alone is estimated to be worth the ransom. Are these kidnappers idiots?"

Jiangishi was also dumbfounded. He shook his head and said, "This matter is really weird. I suggest you all think carefully."

Wolf frowned and said, "I also feel that there is something strange in this, so I am very worried. However, I can't influence the decision of the company's top management. Maybe the kidnappers don't know their identities. And they don't know these things. the value of."

Lin Rui said solemnly, "The kidnappers dispatched three armed pickups for this operation. The range of the double-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns is not very far. But they forced the helicopter to land accurately. This shows that they know the flight route of the helicopter very well. It was carefully planned in advance.

Instead of shooting down the helicopter, they made a forced landing by shooting damage to the helicopter. All this is well-planned. No random shooting. This shows that they have plans and goals, and they will never fail to know who the passengers on the plane are. "

"I understand, so I'm also very troubled." Wolf said helplessly. "But the decision is not mine. The company has already decided to deal with the kidnappers. In their opinion, this is a good thing. After all, it can be settled with very little money."

"But the problem is, it's not fair. Why did the kidnappers put forward such a simple condition. There must be other problems in it." Lin Rui paced back and forth, "Where's the person who delivered the letter?"

"It was monitored~www.wuxiahere.com~ but we had to let him go in the end." Wolf shook his head. "After all, the hostages are still in their hands. We have to use him to get in touch with the kidnappers. We must let He informed the kidnappers and told them we accept the deal."

"Maybe when we let him go, we can follow the kidnapper and find the kidnapper's lair." Jiangan frowned.

"I also proposed this idea, but it was rejected, and the company's executives didn't think it was necessary to take the risk. Once they found out that someone was stalking, they might cancel the transaction and execute the hostage directly. It's not that this kind of thing has never happened. So out of hostages For the purpose of safety, we are required to guarantee the success of this transaction. They must not be disturbed." Wolf said helplessly.

Lin Rui said with a wry smile, "You think too simply. I'm sure, even if you follow this messenger, you won't get any useful information. Because this ransom demand is simply a smokescreen for the kidnappers to divert their attention. What they want is not a ransom. , it must be something else. The reason why they threw the ransom demand is probably just to buy time for another purpose." To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
