Chapter 371: Ransom Demand

When Lin Rui and Jiang An walked into Wolfe's office, they met Wolfe with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Wolfe. Lin Rui put the information in his hand on the table, "This is the information I promised to find, and now it is returned to its original owner, and I guarantee that all the contents on it will not be leaked." ”

Wolf said nervously, "You guys came just in time. Even if you don't come, I'm ready to send someone to you. ”

"What's the matter, there is the latest development in the hostage incident," Lin Rui said with a slight frown.

"Yes. The other party has made a ransom demand. Wolf said in a deep voice.

Lin Rui frowned slightly, this development of things made him feel a little surprised. For he was almost certain that the Order would never be simply for ransom. So he calmly asked Wolfe, "What do they ask for?" Can we trace the phone number, or email address?"

"Neither, the way they deliver their message is primitive. Wolf smiled wryly, "They use people to deliver 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.

Wolf nodded and said, "The person who delivered the letter has been charged, and it's right next door, and there are guards watching him." The letter was also strange, typed out on an old-fashioned typewriter with several grammatical and spelling errors. Obviously, the person who wrote the letter was not very proficient in English. ”

As he spoke, he handed the letter in his hand to Lin Rui, who looked at it with some surprise and said, "Two hundred thousand dollars, it seems that the amount of ransom they are demanding is not very high." What are you going to do?"

"The company's senior management has been urgently negotiating, and this lady's status is extremely special, and she was invited by our company. If something really happens to her, it will be very bad for the company. I think if it's really just the ransom price, it should be perfectly acceptable. It is likely that the company's top management will decide to pay the ransom to avoid the disaster. Wolf nodded.

Behind ExxonMobil Oil is the Rockefeller consortium. This institution has constantly controlled financial institutions and extended its sphere of influence to all sectors of the national economy. It is a big chaebol that is truly rich and rivals the country. Just kidding, extorting $200,000 from them is simply looking down on them.

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

"Why," Wolf said with a frown.

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

"Deputy head of the security department of the Libyan regional project. Wolf frowned.

Lin Rui shrugged and said, "This position shouldn't be too high. But you can get that amount in a few weeks' pay. Am I right?"

Wolf hesitated and nodded.

"The $200,000 is not enough to buy the light helicopter that was hit and then forced to land. Kidnappers with a little common sense also know. People who can afford to sit in a private helicopter will never be worth as low as this. Besides, the ExxonMobil logo on your plane is obvious. For a big business like you, which is among the world's seven largest oil companies, the kidnappers can't demand more than that. Lin Rui shook his head and said.

"Yes, at first we also doubted the authenticity of the matter. But the messenger brought a token of the hostage. Wolf sighed, "Project Director Mr. Robert's cufflinks, that lady's ring, and pilot's glasses." None of this is possible to impersonate. He pointed to the contents of a plastic bag on the table.

Lin Rui smiled bitterly, "This is even more problematic. The project manager, Mr. Robert, is undoubtedly a man of great taste, as the cufflinks are platinum and diamond-set. The lady's ring was even more powerful, not only was the ruby valuable. The inner wall of the ring is also engraved with a family coat of arms, which looks like an antiquity. The value of these two items alone is estimated to be worth the ransom. Are these kidnappers idiots?"

Jiang An also couldn't laugh or cry, he shook his head and said, "This thing is really weird. I'd better think carefully about it. ”

Wolf frowned, "I also feel a little strange here, so I'm very worried. However, I also can't influence the decisions of the company's top management. Perhaps the kidnappers didn't know their identities yet. And it's not clear what these things are worth. ”

Lin Ruiyan said, "For this operation, the kidnappers dispatched three armed pickup trucks, and the range of the twin anti-aircraft machine guns was not very long. But they made an accurate forced landing of the helicopter. This shows that they know the helicopter flight route inside out and have been carefully planned in advance.

Instead of shooting down the helicopter, they forced the landing with guò shooting, which caused damage to the helicopter. This qiē is also well arranged. It's not a random shot. This all shows that they have a plan and a goal, and they will never know who the passengers on the plane are. ”

"I understand, so I'm annoyed too. Wolf said helplessly. "But it's not up to me to decide, the company has already decided to trade with the kidnappers. In their opinion, this is a very good thing, after all, it can be settled with very little money. ”

"But the problem is, it's not even. Why did the kidnappers put forward such simple conditions. There must be other problems in this. Lin Rui paced back and forth, "What about the person who delivered the letter?"

"He was monitored, but we had to let him go eventually. Wolf shook his head, "After all, the hostages are still in their hands." We had to get in touch with him to get in touch with the kidnappers. We must ask him to inform the kidnappers and sue them that we accept the deal. ”

"Maybe when we release him, we can follow this kidnapper and find the kidnapper's lair. Shogishi frowned.

"I also proposed this idea, but it was rejected and the company's top brass didn't think it was necessary to risk it. Once they find out that someone is following them, they may cancel the transaction and directly tear up the ticket and execute the hostage. It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened. So for the sake of hostage safety, we are required to guarantee the success of this transaction. They must not be alarmed. Wolf said helplessly.

Lin Rui smiled bitterly, "You think too simply. I'm sure that 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. They didn't want a ransom, it was something else. It is likely that they are throwing out the ransom demand just to buy time for another purpose. "To be continued.
