Chapter 494 Consequences(1/2)
Luke made a note in his notebook and continued to ask, "What's the second part of the plan?"
"Carry out kidnapping.
Craigie took advantage of his position to find the files on the kidnapping of Eucalyptus ten years ago.
Our method of kidnapping Yinsha Redman completely imitated the kidnapping ten years ago, and the purpose was to allow the police to connect the two cases.
If I were caught by the police, they would mistake me for Sophia through DNA testing.
Craigie also emphasized that the FBI should investigate on its own, rather than me taking the initiative.
In addition, one month before the official kidnapping was carried out, I told Hugo to change my name and asked him to call me Sofia.
To prevent him from spilling the beans."
This is consistent with Luke's speculation, "The murder of Hugo Choudhury was also part of your plan?"
"Yes, Craigie knows that Hugo is a desperado and has other crimes on his back. Once he is arrested, he will definitely fight back and will most likely be shot dead by the police."
"It was also your idea to kill the kidnapper Tom and the other Mexican kidnapper?"
"No, that was entirely Hugo's own decision.
Craigie's plan was good, but we couldn't completely control Hugo. Hugo didn't know our real plan. What he wanted was the six million dollars.
He has regarded the $6 million as his own and will not share it with anyone."
"You were arrested by the police and was this part of your plan?"
"That's the third part of Kreki's plan." Irene Regan sighed, her face a little complicated,
"According to Craigie's speculation, after I am caught by the FBI, they will be able to discover my identity. I am not only a kidnapper, but also a victim of kidnapping ten years ago.
The FBI, prosecutors, and judges will all treat me differently. As long as my acting skills are good and I can win the sympathy of the jury, there is a high probability that I will be acquitted.
Then I can become Sophia, accept the inheritance left by her father, and become a truly rich man.
You don’t have to run away, you don’t have to worry about being caught, you can just enjoy life in the sun.”
"This plan is indeed good, but it is not easy to implement." Luke felt that there should be loopholes in it.
"Yes, that's what I said too.
Craigie told me to take good care of Yinsha Redman and tried to make Yinsha Redman like me.
Yinsha Redman is a kidnapping victim, and her attitude can affect the court's attitude towards me.
As long as she treats me differently from other kidnappers and has some nice words to say about me, we will have won half the battle."
Luke thought of Sofia's stepmother and nanny again, and asked, "Have you never thought about the possibility of being discovered by the hostage's family members?"
"Kreki thought about it. He said he would find a way to solve it. Now it seems that he obviously failed to solve it."
Luke asked, "How does he want to solve it?"
"In our original expectation, the kidnapping should be investigated by the FBI. But who would have thought that the case was handed over to the Detective Bureau, and Craigie was unable to directly access the case file.
He does not understand the progress of the investigation into the kidnapping, so he cannot secretly influence the investigation."
When it came to handing over the case, Luke also had doubts in his mind. As Irene Regan said, this kidnapping was originally supposed to be investigated by the FBI, but because the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr., the son of the real estate tycoon, made the news,
Yinsha Redman's father questioned the FBI's ability before asking the Detective Bureau to take over the investigation of the case.
If the kidnapping of Gary Sane Jr. had not made the news, the FBI would still be leading the investigation, and then Craigie Hosking could easily access the information on the case.
From this point of view, there is no reason for Craigie Hosking to disclose the news that Gary Sane was kidnapped.
But according to Anthony's investigation, Craigie Hoskin has indeed seen the information document about Gary Sane's kidnapping.
Luke asked the doubt in his mind, "Did Craigie Hosking reveal the news of little Gary Sane's kidnapping to the media?"
Irene Regan shook her head, "No."
"Who is that?"
Irene Regan bit the nails of her right hand with her teeth, "It's me."
"How did you know? Why did you do this?"
"We originally decided to carry out a kidnapping in the near future, but unexpectedly a kidnapping occurred first.
Craigie was more cautious. He was worried that the kidnapping would affect our plans, so he used his authority to view the information about the case.
Afterwards, he told me about the kidnapping, and I remembered it in my mind.
Later, I thought about it for a long time and called a reporter to tell him about it."
Luke was a little confused, "Why did you do that?"
"I think exposing this kidnapping can draw more energy from the FBI and be more conducive to the implementation of our kidnapping.
In addition, if Gary Sane Jr. is revoked because of the exposure of the case, he can also give Yinsha Redman's family a warning so that they dare not call the police and pay the ransom honestly."
"Since you know about the kidnapping of little Gary Sane, you should know that the bloody letter V was left on the yacht."
"Yes."
"Hugo Chowdhury claimed to be Mr. V and asked for ransom from his family. Was it your idea?"
Irene Regan nodded, "Yes.
Because I thought Yinsha Redman’s family would call the police.
When the police are investigating, they will link Mr. V with the bloody letter V. I think this will mislead them and make them think that the two kidnappings were committed by the same group of kidnappers, which will interfere with the direction of their investigation."
,
Luke frowned slightly, Irene Regan's words were contradictory, "According to your and Craigie Hoskin's previous plan, being arrested by the FBI was also part of the plan, so that you could disguise yourself as Sophia and clear your name.
Then inherit the inheritance.
But these two operations of yours are indeed interfering with the FBI's investigation. Isn't this unnecessary?"
Irene Regan pinched her forehead with both hands, remained silent for a long time, and sighed, "Actually, I have always felt that there is something wrong with Craigie's plan, it is too risky.
I admit that I want to become a truly rich person and live as luxurious a life as Yinsha Redman.
But I don’t want to be caught by the police, I hate the police, I don’t want to be tried, and I’m also worried about being recognized by my family.

I was so scared that I couldn't sleep.
Just like now, you still figured out my identity, which proves that my worries are justified.
This plan simply won't work."
"Does Craigie Hoskin know about these two things?"
"have no idea.
He was very careful, and after the kidnapping was carried out, we had no further contact."
"Then what's your plan?"
"I think the kidnapping case ten years ago was perfect. The kidnapper was a genius. He actually used black marketeers to transfer the risk of paying the ransom. The hostage's family called the police, but the kidnapper was still not caught.
If they can, why can't we.
Moreover, as long as I put more pressure on the family members and make them afraid to call the police, the chance of successful kidnapping is very high.
I would rather get $6 million than be arrested by the police.
With this money, I can go anywhere and live a good life."
"Have you ever told Craigie Hosking about this idea?"
"Yes, I told him a long time ago, but he thinks six million dollars is not much.
And even if the kidnapping succeeds, we will still be frightened and hide everywhere.
Only when I become Sophia can I truly enjoy the life of a rich person.
I know what he said makes sense, but everyone can say it, and it’s me who really wants to do all this.
I'm afraid of the police. I know I can't do it. I can't be the real Sophia.
I still want to walk away with $6 million.
I have been trying very hard to convince him, but to no avail. He is a very independent man.
So I decided to change in my own way, and as long as the police couldn't catch me, I could get a ransom of six million dollars.
If the police catch me, they will carry out Craigie's plan.
I think this is the truly perfect plan." Irene Regan showed a helpless look and shrugged, "But unexpectedly, things were messed up.
I regret it now...
Why is the world so unfair?
What would my life be like if I lived in a wealthy family like Sophia or Yinsha Redman?"
Now, Luke finally understood why there were so many cunning operations in this seemingly well-organized kidnapping. The fundamental reason was that Irene Regan and Craigie Hoskin had differences and inconsistent ideas.
