Chapter 62
It was dawn, and Xu Qiulai lay on the coffee table, thinking that his sister suddenly woke up from her shallow sleep.
There was also a silent surveillance record playing on the screen. Looking at the time on the watch, she had not slept for more than five minutes, rubbed her dry eyes, and pulled the progress bar back to five minutes ago to re-watch it.
At 7 o'clock, she washed up in the bathroom in the studio without a comb, so she had to simply tie a ponytail with her fingers, looked at herself with a slightly sunken eye socket in the mirror, and returned to the computer.
Lu Li picked up half a cup of coffee from under the coffee machine, then took out the large box of milk in the freezer and poured it all over. He stirred it as a latte and drank it. Maybe he still felt that the smell was wrong. He called Xu Qiulai, "Xu Qiulai, let's go downstairs to have a meal."
She didn't eat yesterday.
"I'm not hungry, you go and eat, I'll take a look." Xu Qiulai's eyes did not leave the screen.
Lu Li just wanted to pull Xu Qiulai out for a breath of wind and calm down. Now she is like a tight string, and if she doesn't loosen, she will be about to break.
"If you don't go down with me, I will refuse to help you again."
Lu Li's hourly salary is ridiculously high. Foreign players who spent his whole night were almost enough to buy a small bathroom on the West Third Ring Road. Xu Qiu came here but didn't even get a breakfast. When the studio went to work later, they would probably lose all their glasses.
Xu Qiulai knew that his threat was kind, but he still didn't want to leave the computer and looked up and begged him: "I can order takeaway."
Lu Li left his eyes, and what he made up his mind would not be changed easily: "You can have dinner with me, I will provide you with a new clue."
Xu Qiulai still carried the computer downstairs with him.
As soon as the plate was brought up, she picked up the spoon and stuffed it bite by bit. Wei Tong chewed the wax and stared at Lu Li: "What clue?"
Since Lu Li arrived at the restaurant, he was looking at the iPad from time to time. When he heard Xu Qiu ask him, he finally withdrew his gaze from the screen.
"In the video you found, the car has a roof rear antenna. This SUV has made this detailed improvement since the new model of 10 years. In January of the same year, the manufacturer of this car's Agen announced that it would launch the mobile phone to launch the application." Lu Li brought up the information to show her.
"That is, this car is equipped with atenbilestart!" Xu Qiulai's dark eyes were suddenly lit up, "That is, if the car was stolen, we can locate the vehicle information as long as we find the owner's terminal, right?"
"Theoretically, atenbilestart does come with a function of finding a parking spot. I searched two hours ago for the stolen vehicles registered last year to this year, and found the owner of the car, but the car was stolen for more than three months. He has received compensation from the insurance company. The car's starting terminal has been deactivated because it has not renewed. Just now, after I helped him renew the fee, he sent me the terminal's account and password."
"Can you position it?" Qiu Lai grabbed the spoon, and the corners of his lips trembled slightly uncontrollably.
"No, the Agen company's it is famous for being bad. I have tried it with the app. Their page can only circle the range of 100 kilometers where the car is located. The red dot is the location of the car, there is no map or GPS coordinates. In other words, this terminal can only help us find the straight-line distance and relative position between us and the kidnappers, whether the engine status is off or on. And according to the users on the forum, when the relative position is far away, the probability of error is very high."
If it was so easy to find, the police would have helped the owner to retrieve the car when the car was stolen. Why did they wait for the insurance company to settle the claim?
Lu Li did not blindly give her hope, but instead analyzed the conclusions he had drawn with her. When he spoke, he copied the message sent by the owner with his fingertips and logged in at the terminal.
Xu Qiu came and didn't want to eat, so he threw down the spoon and walked around him to watch with him.
"The straight line distance is 420 kilometers. They drove at least one night. If they were out from this direction..." Qiulai searched all possible routes in his mind, and his face turned gray again, "They have already left the city."
This range has far exceeded the scope of the police's search. Every step of the kidnapping has been carefully planned, including the route. It is even more difficult to find their traces after leaving the city at such a fast pace, and it is even more difficult to capture them in another place.
But no matter what, with distance and direction, it is better than finding a needle in a haystack.
Xu Qiulai bit his lip and stuffed the things into his schoolbag and stood up.
"where did you go?"
"Hold a car and go find Qiutian."
"You're stupid. What kind of car is so brave that you dare to go to the kidnappers with you. After eating the food, I'll ask Brother Hua to drive the car downstairs and I'll go with you."
Xu Qiu looked at his dark eyes for two seconds, thinking that Lu Li's cousin had also lost it, and he should not be less anxious than her. Finally, he sat back on the chair and stuffed the remaining food in the plate into his stomach. After taking the last bite, his esophagus almost couldn't breathe.
Lu Li handed the water on time, and Xu Qiulai took a few sips with his hand, swallowed the thing before he started coughing.
He patted her back twice to calm her down, wiped away the tears she coughed, and thanked her in a low voice.
Lu Li believed that when Qiulai went downstairs, the car was already waiting in the underground garage, and more than one, a total of three! Moreover, the group looked similar to Brother Hua, all of them were tall and powerful.
"We're bringing so many people there?" Xu Qiulai was a little shocked.
"They have wooden warehouses, so they can bring more people to safety." Lu Li explained that he looked at his eyes and nose.
The first rule of Lu Li’s life is to cherish life. As for how much "cherish" he is, Xu Qiulai deeply feels that he only understands it thoroughly today.
The positioning function of aten is developed to find cars in the parking lot. The closer the distance, the more accurate the positioning is.
Following the straight-line distance prompt, they encountered difficulties as soon as they got off the express section of the city. Before leaving, Xu Qiulai combined the straight-line distance and various reasons to infer that the other party was in T-city south, but the system prompted that the direction was wrong and asked them to go east.
In two completely opposite directions, after entering the toll station of the expressway, the next exit will be at least 30 kilometers. If you choose the wrong choice, it will take at least an hour to go back and forth. Lu Li made a quick decision to call the last car, "You go to the east. If the system shows that the straight-line distance will increase after the expressway, you will turn back at the next exit and chase us."
He also prefers the south as originally speculated, but he still wants to eliminate the remaining possibilities as much as possible.
Sure enough, after the remaining two cars boarded the expressway in the south, the straight line distance displayed on the page continued to shrink, so it was correct to go south.
The transportation network in the radiation area of the capital is well connected and there are countless interference items, but they only have a straight line distance and a rough location where they are not. When the car behind them was also sent out to explore other routes, they were still about 40 kilometers away from the straight line distance of the kidnappers. They had already entered the range of the app's large circle, and it was almost 1:00 noon.
Brother Hua parked his car in the service area for dinner. Xu Qiu came to search for the next map and route. After a full meal in the morning, she was not hungry at all. She only looked at Brother Hua and the remaining two bodyguards and hurried to finish their meal and continue on the road.
The closer you get to T City, the more highway exits, this section is closer to the scenic area, and there are three toll stations in the first ten kilometers alone.
In fact, the smaller the range given by the carfinder, the less reliable the relative position. If they want to test the right direction, they can only go down each exit once to see if the straight line distance prompted by the system is shortened.
"This won't work. In the past six hours, their engines have been turned on twice. Before we can test the correct direction, they may have moved to another place." Xu Qiulai was anxious, "Let's use greedyapproach to decide."
Several people in the car looked at each other in a daze, and only Lu Li understood Xu Qiulai's thoughts.
The greedy algorithm is the most direct algorithm in computer algorithms. What she means is to keep driving along one direction until the distance is no longer significantly smaller, indicating that the direction they are moving forward is almost perpendicular to the kidnappers, and then turn to the vertical direction to continue searching.
Lu Li agreed with this opinion. He handed over the test task of each toll station exit to the two cars that did not follow, and told Brother Hua to move forward in a straight line.
When the police responded to the call, their vehicles were less than three kilometers away from the straight line of the kidnappers. When they walked down, there was only a small town dominated by tourism.
The female policewoman on the other end of the phone was shocked when she heard the news. When Lu Li called before leaving in the morning, she had no hope at all. The entire task force was helpless. What could the two students do? Unexpectedly, they both touched the place where the kidnappers were infinitely close to each other.
"Are you sure that the location is correct?" The policewoman hesitated, afraid that they would make a mistake when they were young and wasted police time.
Lu Li explained to her what "atenbillestart" is, what "greedyapproach" is, and how to operate "carfinder". The policewoman didn't understand and could only change the wiring. The clinker changed two people in a row. The other end of the phone was still confused. He lost all his patience, so he simply sent his position to the other party, "You contact the police in T City directly and let them follow my position. It's too late."
This system is not used to track the vehicle, and the location and distance will not be updated in real time. Finally, the other party's engine is on off and does not follow up at this time, and the other party moves, and there is no way to do it.
When the car drove into the town, the system showed that the straight line was 1.5 kilometers. They drove around the alleys of the town, getting closer and closer to the kidnappers.
It was at this time that the Lu family learned the news that when Lu's father asked his secretary to answer Brother Hua's phone, he was furious: "Take Lu Li back immediately. It's the police's business to arrest the kidnappers. What did he do there? He is much more expensive than Lu Fang. He thinks that the other person's chips are not big enough, so he wants to be tied up again!"
It was not opened, but the loud noise was enough for Lu Li next to him to hear it. He snatched Brother Hua's phone and hung up.
Brother Hua still drove without expression, but the two bodyguards behind him began to feel irritated, "Mr. Lu, let's wait for the police to arrive first..."
Their first priority is to protect Lu Li's safety, so it is difficult to disobey his employer.
Lu Li operated the iPad and signaled Brother Hua to drive to the left, glanced at the two of them sideways, "I didn't ask you to take risks, as long as you find the car, we will wait by the side and not get close."
At this point, he remembered something, "Take out the bulletproof vest in the trunk and wear one set in one set for each person."
Xu Qiulai tied his strap and remembered to ask Lu Li, "Where is yours?"
Lu Li lifted a corner of his clothes and showed it to her: "I put it on in the previous service area."
Two bodyguards:...
It turns out that they are greedy for life and fear of death! How could they worry that he would save the hostages regardless of his own safety!
The town has only a spacious central street, which happened to be in the market and was prohibited from passing through.
Xu Qiulai took a good look at the satellite map. There were no notes on the map in many alleys in the town, and sometimes only a single road is allowed to pass through the narrow side.
By the time the noise of the market went farther away, they had already surrounded the entire town.
"They may not be in the town. The town is connected to one place to the east, and the scenic orchard is not far away when walking west." Xu Qiulai pointed to a place on the map and said, "We just got a distance of 1.4 kilometers at this time, but when we came, we returned to 1.8 again... It means they are probably within this range."
Her fingers circled a piece on the iPad to enlarge the range.
There were only two small paths in the countryside, and Lu Li made a decision: "This dirt road is more secluded, just walk from here and drive."
Two months ago, if someone told Lu Li that he would put himself in the center of danger because of his willingness to help others, Lu Li would definitely not believe it.
He is the kind of person who heard that a series of car accidents occurred in some place and could take a detour for several months. The carriage swayed on the dirt road. At some point, he almost fell into the memory of being tied to the trunk at the age of thirteen and being scrambled to the trunk at the age of thirteen.
He shouted, "Stop!"
Xu Qiulai's heart sank. She knew that her willingness to ignore her safety for her sister did not mean that others would be willing. The risk of going down was much greater than staying in the town. Not to mention anything else, their license plate number from the capital was very conspicuous.
She was about to say something, but Lu Li had already jumped down and opened the rear door, pointing to the strong man in the middle, "Let's change seats."
The front row is dangerous compared to the back row, and his face may be recognized.
Xu Qiulai moved away from the seat, Lu Li climbed into the car, and then he looked straight ahead and found her hand tightly.
Xu Qiulai shook it for a few times but didn't leave it away, "What are you doing!"
"I'm very scared, you have to hold on to me." He was confident.
