Chapter 357 Was the ransom killed?
The sarcastic voice came through the phone again: "Not now. Do you really think I'm just after money?"
"If not, then what else do you want?" After saying that, Bai Mengfei took a deep breath impatiently.
The thug noticed this subtle change in his demeanor. He immediately taunted, "Losing your composure, huh?"
The voice was full of arrogance and smugness.
Bai Mengfei's face instantly darkened.
Ultimately, Zhu Heng was in charge here, so Bai Mengfei turned to look at him, hoping he could offer some advice.
Zhu Heng frowned and shook his head.
Bai Mengfei had no choice but to deal with it herself, saying, "How could I possibly lose my composure? You must be joking with me."
"Oh? You really can keep your composure?" the other person asked in a skeptical tone.
Bai Mengfei hummed in agreement and said confidently, "At least I'm still quite calm right now. But speaking of which, you didn't hurt Zhen Liang, did you?" Actually, Bai Mengfei said this to buy time and give Kelly more opportunities to track down the criminals.
Unexpectedly, the assailant hung up the phone at this crucial moment.
Bai Mengfei's face immediately darkened with displeasure, her eyes widening. At the same time, Kelly brought less than optimistic news: "Still can't track it. The signal dropped before we could even get a connection."
"What should we do?" Zhu Heng said worriedly. "The longer this drags on, the more dangerous it will be for Zhen Liang."
Bai Mengfei nodded, agreeing with Zhu Heng's opinion.
Just then, her phone rang again. Bai Mengfei picked it up and saw that it was a similar number calling, only the last few digits were different.
Bai Mengfei answered the phone without hesitation this time and questioned, "Hello, what tricks are you trying to pull?"
Unexpectedly, the other party said, "If I told you that I had already killed Zhen Liang, I wonder how you would react now."
"What did you say?" Bai Mengfei's expression immediately changed, her brows furrowing tightly. "You killed Zhen Liang?"
As soon as Bai Mengfei finished speaking, everyone in the police station seemed to freeze for a moment. Everyone turned around, staring blankly at Bai Mengfei, speechless.
Just as Bai Mengfei was in a state of confusion, the other party said again, "That's right, I've already killed the person. I don't want the money anymore, what do you want? Speak!"
Bai Mengfei turned her head helplessly, looking at Zhu Heng standing beside her with a hint of despair. At this moment, Zhu Heng could only blink, completely unable to make any decision.
In contrast, Bai Mengfei found it even more difficult to make a decision.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhu Heng mouthed to Bai Mengfei, "Ask him if he's sure he killed the person?"
Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, then asked, "Are you sure you've killed Zhen Liang?"
The call was disconnected again, and then another call came in: "Yes, that's right, I've already killed him. I just want to know what will happen to me."
"Didn't you just want money? Why did you kill someone?" Bai Mengfei asked.
"You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me what will happen to me," the other person said.
Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment before saying, "Your fate will be to be arrested and punished by law."
At this moment, Zhu Heng could no longer hold back. He snatched the phone and roared into it, "If you really hurt Zhen Liang, you will die a terrible death. I will make you pay with your life."
Everyone was startled and dared not approach.
Only Bai Mengfei dared to reach out and gently retrieve her phone. After putting it down, she stared intently at Zhu Heng and said softly, "Calm down, Director Zhu."
Zhu Heng frowned, staring at Bai Mengfei for a few seconds before his breathing gradually calmed down. He nodded slightly, gradually regaining his composure.
When Bai Mengfei brought the phone to her ear again, she realized the call had already ended.
In an instant, the entire police station fell into a deathly silence. No one spoke; everyone stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
After everyone looked at each other for a long time, Xiang Yuntian spoke first: "Actually, I think this can't go on like this."
Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's words, everyone immediately looked up at him in surprise.
He blinked and continued, "We can't always let the other side lead us by the nose; we should find ways to take the initiative."
A policeman suddenly said, "But we have no idea where the killer is or who he is. If we did, wouldn't it be easier to just arrest him and solve the problem?"
Zhu Heng pondered for a long time, then slowly raised his hands, put them on his hips, and let out a long sigh.
A few seconds later, he said, "This matter should be closely related to the murder of Mingjing. If there is really no other way, it seems that we still have to ask Captain Xu and the others for help."
After speaking, Zhu Heng immediately raised his head and looked at Bai Mengfei.
Bai Mengfei calmly returned his gaze. Her eyes always brought a sense of peace to those around her.
After the two looked at each other silently for a while, Bai Mengfei spoke up: "Director Zhu, if you've decided to do this, then I'll contact Captain Zhao."
"Are you sure?" Zhu Heng asked.
Bai Mengfei nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yes, but I'm worried that Zhen Liang might not be able to wait. After all, even if we hand the case over to Captain Zhao and his team now, it will probably take some time to solve it."
Zhu Heng was aware of this and had taken it into consideration. Therefore, his brows furrowed involuntarily once again.
Just when everyone felt helpless, Bai Mengfei's phone rang again.
This time, Bai Mengfei was no longer afraid and directly chose the external speaker mode.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Bai Mengfei questioned. "If you get caught, you'll definitely be sentenced to life imprisonment!"
"Oh? Is that so?" The other person smiled strangely. "But what if I told you I'm not afraid? And what if I told you that Zhen Liang is actually still alive?"
Upon hearing that last sentence, almost everyone looked up. Everyone hoped that Zhen Liangzhen was safe and sound; otherwise, even Director Zhu Heng couldn't bear the consequences.
Without hesitation, Zhu Heng snatched the phone and said to the assailant, "If he's still alive, there's still room for negotiation."
