Jin Yuying refused to help, and Zhang Jingye had no other choice. He called Song Cheng again.
"Hello, Old Song, I sent reliable people to both families to investigate. According to the family members and neighbors of both families, Zheng Xiaomei is indeed not at home. Moreover, she has not returned home for more than a year. This proves that your analysis is completely correct. Zheng Xiaomei stole the child from the villa and did not go home at all. Instead, she hid out of town. Where did he hide? He could not know for the time being. It seemed that he still had to do a thorough and detailed investigation. What do you think we should do next?”
"I already knew that Zheng Xiaomei would never return home after stealing the child. She would definitely go out of town to hide. Because she is your employee, you know her situation and her home address. With your wisdom and experience, you will definitely find her home first. Now that Zheng Xiaomei was not at home, it would be difficult to find her! Think about it. She was an ordinary village woman with a baby. She would find a secluded place in the village and live there quietly. She would cut off all external connections. No one would notice or care about her. We're looking for a needle in a haystack. Where can we find it? Judging from the way she committed the crime, although she was a rural woman, she was still a high school graduate after all. She had a certain degree of cultural experience, and she was quite shrewd and capable. She considered the problem very carefully and meticulously. It would be difficult to investigate.”Song Cheng carefully analyzed the difficulty of Zheng Xiaomei sneaking into the village.
"I know that Zheng Xiaomei is smart and capable. If she didn't have some ability, she wouldn't have dared to do such things in the South Hill Villa. Tell me how to find Zheng Xiaomei first and get my son back. This is the most important thing. No matter how difficult it is, I have to investigate it to the end! His son had just turned one month old and was very young. If anything happened to him, his life would be in danger! I'm dying of anxiety! You don't have to explain the reason. Hurry up and think of a way to find my son as soon as possible!”Zhang Jingye was anxious. He was no longer in the mood to listen to Song Cheng slowly.
"Don't worry, there will always be a way. Zheng Xiaomei was hiding somewhere else. Although it would be difficult to find her, it was not impossible. There were obviously two ways-one was to report the case publicly and ask the police to intervene in the investigation. However, if this method was used, the time taken to solve the case would be much slower. This was because cases of burglars and abductions of women and children occurred every day. Even if the police investigated and dealt with them, it would inevitably take a long time. It would probably be difficult to solve the case in a year and a half.”Song Cheng continued to analyze the situation slowly and methodically.
"You don't have to tell me about this method. I will never report it to the police. "Firstly, the child is too young and his life is fragile. I don't know if he will die or live after waiting for a year and a half. I definitely can't wait. Secondly, I'm a famous entrepreneur and philanthropist in Guangzhou City. If this kind of thing is exposed and spread, it will damage the company and my personal reputation and image. It will definitely affect the company's future and development. The impact is too bad! I will never expose my privacy and embarrass myself. You should focus on the second path.”
"Your concern is very necessary. I thought so too. Now, I'll talk about the second way, which is to hire a private detective. Although this method would cost more money, it was more secretive and would not be easily leaked. Moreover, there would be a dedicated person who would focus his energy and solve the case quickly. This is exactly in line with your wishes and requirements.”Song Cheng saw that Zhang Jingye was very anxious, but he was unwilling to report the case. He exposed his privacy and asked the police to investigate. She guessed his intentions and decided to introduce him to a private detective.
"Private detective? Why did you think of hiring them? I've never come into contact with these people, let alone used them. Are they reliable? It would be bad if this matter spread everywhere and the world knew about it.”
"It won't happen. I've come into contact with two private detectives. One of them used to be a criminal police officer and had solved cases before. He's very reliable, capable, and trustworthy. I got to know them through a friend at a private gathering. After a few more encounters, I gradually became familiar with them and had a good impression of them.”
"Since you know them and are friends with them, then you can introduce them to me first. After that, I'll decide whether to hire them or not.”
"These two people are called Du Wei and Li Hu. Dewey was a native of Guangzhou. He was in his forties and used to be a criminal police officer. He specialized in investigating cases. Later, he left the criminal police team because he made a mistake. After returning home, he had nothing else to do and was unwilling to work hard. He started working as a private detective, specializing in solving cases that were inconvenient to report for the rich and big bosses, so as to earn money for his livelihood. Li Hu was only in his twenties. He was Dewey's nephew. He had been a scout in the army. After he retired, he had worked in the fields and worked. Later, he heard that his uncle made a lot of money as a private detective. His aunt recommended him to be Dewey's assistant. Although these two were private detectives, they never acted rashly and strictly followed the rules of the martial arts world, which was to take money and eliminate disasters for others. What was especially admirable was that if they could not solve the case, no matter how much money they spent, how long they spent, or how much effort they put in, they would not be charged a single cent.”
"These two are quite interesting. If they can really do this, they are very trustworthy. How about this, you bring them to the South Hill Villa tomorrow. I will meet them and have a serious talk with them. We will make a decision after we find out the truth.”
"These two people have always been honest and trustworthy. Moreover, they have a friend like me as their middleman. You can rest assured. However, there is one thing that I must make clear to you in advance. Although they work seriously and abide by the rules, their asking price is also high. You must be mentally prepared.”
"Don't worry. As long as they can solve the case and find my son as soon as possible, I'm willing to spend more money.”
The next morning, Song Cheng brought Du Wei and Li Hu to Nanshan Villa. Zhang Jingye received them in the hall on the first floor of the inner courtyard. Zhang Jingye saw that the two of them were dressed neatly and professionally in suits and ties. He smiled and said,"Looking at the two of you, you look more like civil servants than detectives.”The two of them smiled and did not speak. Song Cheng said,"The real person does not reveal his appearance. Don't look down on their refined appearance, but they all have good martial arts. Even if there were eight to ten ordinary people, it would be difficult for them to get close to their bodies.”
After some small talk, Zhang Jingye introduced the time, place, and course of the case. He also asked Auntie Li to take out the two steel bars that the thief had sawed off and the small hacksaw that was used to commit the crime. After listening to the introduction, the two of them looked at the real thing carefully. They then asked Mr. Stanley to take them to a few crime scenes and returned to the hall on the first floor to sit down.
Dewey understood that Zhang Jingye was testing his investigation skills to see if what he said made sense and whether he was qualified before deciding whether to use him or not. He analyzed the case and said,
"After listening to Chairman Zhang's introduction and going to the scene to investigate, we have initially determined that this is a gang crime. Someone sawed the steel bars of the guardrail and opened up a road. Someone entered the courtyard and stole the child from the room. This is not something that could be done by one person. I've tested it repeatedly at the crime scene. The space where a steel bar is sawed off by the guardrail can only barely allow one person to pass through. One person had to be inside to pass the child over, and the other person would be outside to catch it. This was to ensure that the child would not be squeezed and cry. Secondly, we believe that this case should be committed by internal and external collusion. Since the thief had used a small hacksaw to cut through the steel fence, it was obvious that he was not a big thief or a habitual thief. It should be extremely difficult for someone with such poor tools and methods to open the high-level lock of the building. There must be someone inside to help.”
Dewey's analysis was completely different from Song Cheng's, but it was similar to Zhang Jingye's. Zhang Jingye turned around and looked at Song Cheng. Song Cheng was silent, as if he couldn't completely agree with Dewey's opinion and had to wait for him to produce evidence.
Sure enough, Dewey stood up and walked to the door of the hall, pointing at the lock.""I've dissected a door lock of this brand. It's installed with a special anti-theft device. It's very high-tech, and ordinary thieves can't open it. However, judging from the sawed steel bars and the small hacksaw, it did not look like a big thief or a habitual thief.”Zhang Jingye was especially impressed by this. When he was installing the security door of the building, the workers told him that this kind of lock was newly developed and had extremely high technology. It was difficult for ordinary thieves to open it. It seemed that Dewey was indeed an old policeman. He had solved many cases and was knowledgeable, superior to Song Cheng.
Dewey returned to his seat and picked up the small hacksaw on the coffee table.""A tool like this can be bought at a hardware store for 15 yuan. Professional thieves wouldn't use such a tool at all. However, it was this kind of clumsy thief who managed to open the high-grade anti-theft door lock in the hall without any damage. Who would believe it? This was obviously opened with a key. Who had the key to the building? Naturally, it's someone from your internal department." After saying that, Dewey looked at Mr. Stanley. Zhang Jingye nodded in conviction because he had always suspected that this case was committed by internal and external collusion.
" Chairman Zhang," Dewey asked Zhang Jingye," who has the key to the door lock of the living room in your villa now or in the past?" Please tell me the truth. If you let me solve this case, I will start investigating the people who hold the key to this door. This person is the mole. If the mole is found, the outsider won't be able to escape. The case will be solved, and your son will be found.”
Zhang Jingye thought for a moment and said," There are only three people who have the keys to the hall. They are all women. They are Auntie Li, Zheng Xiaomei, and Sister Liu."”Dewey said," Can you let me see these three people? I want to talk to them and understand the situation.”
"Zheng Xiaomei's contract expired a few days ago, so I fired her and sent her home." There were only Auntie Li and Sis Liu in the villa now.”
"Then, Mr. Stanley, please introduce Mrs. Lewis and Ms. Liu to us.”
"Auntie Li is the manager of the villa. She's a local and an old member of my family. However, she was not at the villa on the night of the crime. She went home on the weekend. Sister Liu was a newly hired nanny. She was from a rural area in Anhui and had only been working for a few days. She stayed in the villa that night and took care of the child.”
"When Zheng Xiaomei left, did she hand over the key?”
"I've handed them all over. The keys to the living room, bedroom, study, and gym were all given to Auntie Li.”
"Please tell us more about Zheng Xiaomei. The more detailed the better. Don't leave out any details. I think that this person is the most suspicious among the three. Then, I'll talk to Auntie Li and Sister Liu.”
So Zhang Jingye gave a detailed introduction of Zheng Xiaomei's situation.
Dewey was indeed powerful. He immediately determined that among the three women, Zheng Xiaomei was the most likely to have committed the crime. Zhang Jingye nodded and gave a detailed introduction of Zheng Xiaomei's situation, especially the situation before and after she left the villa. There were a few details that Dewey had doubts about, and he added them.
After understanding the situation of the three people, Dewey said,""Auntie Li can be ruled out because she is an old member of the Zhang family and the manager of the villa. She has always been loyal and is a local in Guangzhou. She knows everything and was not at the scene on the night of the crime. Zheng Xiaomei and Sister Liu were both suspects. Comparing the two of them, Zheng Xiaomei was more likely to commit the crime. First, her motive is obvious. She gave birth to the child, and her own son died. She has repeatedly proposed to be the child's mother and nanny, but you didn't agree. Now, she is hiding again. Secondly, she had been in the villa for a long time and was familiar with the situation in the villa. She had held the key for more than a year. During her childbirth, she was hospitalized for nearly a month and was often left alone. This provided her with the possibility of interacting with outsiders, making keys, and buying crime tools. Sister Liu also had a motive for committing the crime. It was because her family was poor and needed money to send her son to university. She did not want another son. However, she had only been in the villa for a few days, so she might not be familiar with the villa. Moreover, she had not left the villa since she entered, and she did not have a phone with her. It was impossible for her to make keys, get to know and contact outsiders. So, if you want me to solve this case, I'll start with Zheng Xiaomei first.”Chairman Zhang and Song Chengdu agreed with Dewey's analysis, so they nodded in unison.
Zhang Jingye said to Dewey,"If you solve this case, what are your chances of success?"”Dewey said without hesitation,"One hundred percent. If the child is still alive, I promise to bring him back to you. If he's not, there's sufficient evidence to convince you.”"I wonder how much the remuneration is?" Zhang Jingye nodded and asked.”Dewey said,"One price, five hundred thousand."”Zhang Jingye looked at Song Cheng. Song Cheng understood and said to Du Wei,""Boss Du, for the sake of our friends, why don't you take a few less?”Dewey said," You also know that I never bargain. Since you've opened your mouth today, I'll take 50,000 less.”Section Chief Song quickly thanked him.
Zhang Jingye said," Alright then. 450,000 yuan it is. I'll hand this case over to Boss Du." I hope that I can seize the time and find my son as soon as possible!”"Don't worry, Chairman Zhang! It's my business to solve the case. It's also 450,000 yuan to solve the case in a day. It's also 450,000 yuan to solve the case in a year. "We'll take someone's money and help them eliminate disasters. For this 450,000 yuan, even if we have to go through a mountain of blades and a sea of flames, the two of us will not hesitate!”
