The kidnapper relied on Su Mo to find him, and his attitude was extremely arrogant, spouting: "I *Dawn of Civilization* your whole family! Come if you dare, you loser, let's see if I don't pinch your waist! You must die tonight!" undoubtedly!"

After scolding, the other party hung up the phone.

Didn't answer the call back.

The Sheriff was helpless, with a hint of reproach in his tone: "You shouldn't provoke the kidnappers, as this will be detrimental to rescuing the hostages. The ransom of 200,000 is not a lot, and it can be considered if we have a good negotiation."

Su Mo sneered: "What nonsense, why do you call yourself a professional? You can't even hear this? They only talked about the ransom and the time limit, not the location where they were released, and the signal is still overseas. They just want to extort money by the way, there is no such thing." Plan to release him."

"These kidnappers went to great lengths to kidnap Yuzi. It can't be just for the ransom of 200,000 yuan. They must have other purposes."

The Sheriff didn't argue with Su Mo. After surveying the scene, they asked Chen Hao some questions, packed up and were ready to leave.

Chen Hao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, where are you going?"

Sheriff: "We have done what we can, and there are still several cases to deal with."

Chen Hao grabbed him anxiously: "But what about my daughter?!"

The Sheriff said patiently: "We will inform you of the results of the investigation."

After saying that, he pushed his hand away.

Chen Hao wanted to ask more questions, but Su Mo stopped him: "Let them go. These people are not in charge, and there is no point in pestering them."

Chen Hao collapsed on the ground in despair: "But... they said they would cancel the vote after 12 noon."

Su Mo patted him on the shoulder: "Trust my judgment, I won't break up the vote. Keep the money, don't transfer it, it will be useless if you transfer it."

Chen Hao looked at him blankly: "Then what should we do next?"

Su Mo: "I'll help you find the manager."

[St. Riveland Sheriff's Department, Chief's Office]

The director's office is located on the highest floor of the Public Security Bureau. It is over a hundred square meters and is extremely spacious. The furniture made of rosewood exudes a delicate fragrance. The sunlight shines in from the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, making the interior feel extremely bright.

Director Songsangla made a pot of tea for Su Mo and said politely: "Mr. Su Mo, sit down."

Su Mo: "No more polite words. I would like to ask Mr. Director to do me a favor. Please investigate the kidnapping case you just told me about as soon as possible."

Songsangla crossed her hands together, twirling her thumbs back and forth, looking like she was hesitating to speak.

He was silent for a moment and said softly: "First of all, please believe me. You are a distinguished guest from Crescent City and a friend of Mr. Schenkov. If you need anything, I will try my best to help. But this matter is not that simple."

Su Mo said directly: "Please make a price."

Songsangla said helplessly: "I'm not asking for a favor from you. It's not a matter of asking for a price. Do you know where the other side of the sea is from St. Rivland?"

Su Mo: "I know, Borderlands."

Songsangla nodded: "Yes, Borderlands. Saint Rivland is a seaside city located on the edge of the World Government's territory."

"In other words, going beyond the jurisdictional sea area and beyond is not only not the territory of Saint Rivland, it is not even an area that the World Government can control."

"Technical experts told me that the kidnapping call was located in the borderless land across the sea, and it can be basically concluded that it was done by "armed forces outside the Great Wall." If people have been tied to their hands, how do you think we should control it? "

Su Mo asked dissatisfiedly: "What's going on in your city? There's no emergency preparedness? Those armed forces outside the Borderlands come whenever they want and kidnap people and leave as soon as they want?"

Songsangla smiled awkwardly: "It's not that exaggerated. At least compared to Crescent City, no offense to St. Rifland as a tourist destination, the security is pretty good."

"It's just that this place is on the edge of the World Government's territorial area after all, and the coastline is very long. Even if we expand our security forces many times, there will eventually be loopholes. It is difficult to fundamentally solve the problem of smuggling crimes."

Su Mo: "What about the garrison? The three giant companies should have garrison in Saint-Rifland, right? They don't care if the armed people outside the Great Wall run here?"

Songsangla explained: "Of course there are garrisons. There are garrisons from the Joint Venture, the Iron-Blooded Alliance, and the Black Domain Group. But the problem is still that the other party is outside the jurisdiction."

"In the past few years, the three giant companies launched a joint military operation to defeat a group of armed forces outside the Great Wall on the other side of St. Rivland, but it was of no use. Those guys were like weeds that could not be mowed all the way. No, recently It popped up again two years ago.”

"The cost of cross-sea military operations is very high. The three giant companies tried it several times. They felt that it was a waste of money and had no benefits, so they simply left it to our Public Security Bureau."

Su Mo fell into silence.

Songsangla was right.

The Borderlands is a chaotic area without order.

The armed forces outside the Great Wall entrenched there have their own territory and troops, forming warlords of various sizes. They have been supplying various black industries to the World Government's territorial areas all year round, such as organ trading, online gambling, electronic fraud, etc.

If the entire world government district were compared to the Crescent City.

The Borderlands, then, are the frontiers.

The various armed forces outside the Great Wall are violent groups on the border.

These forces are completely independent and autonomous and do not interfere with the authorities at all.

And because of their geographical location, the impact of the three giant companies on them is also very limited.

There is even a saying that if you unfortunately offend the three giant companies one day, then the only way to survive is to join the armed forces outside the Great Wall in the Borderlands.

Sumer thought for a moment and asked, "So what is your conclusion?"

Songsangla pursed her dry lips: "Let me tell you this. Last year, 47 kidnapping cases related to armed forces outside the Great Wall occurred in St. Rifland, 46 of which have not yet been solved."

"The only case that was solved was when armed forces outside the Great Wall kidnapped the family members of a department leader of the Hefei Company. The leader contacted the kidnapper leader and said that he would airdrop a Razor Squadron to their hometown if they would not let him go."

"The kidnappers felt that they might suffer if they continued to cause trouble, so they released him."

The hidden meaning in Songsangla's words is - if you want the other party to release him, you, Captain Su, should first see if you have the deterrent power of Hezi Company.

Su Mo knew that this guy couldn't help anymore, so he stopped talking nonsense, got up and left.

Songsangla nodded and said goodbye: "Mr. Sumer, walk slowly. If there is any progress, I will inform you."

After Su Mo left, Songsangla closed the door, took a leisurely sip of tea, and took out her mobile phone to make a call.

Songsangla leaned on the chair and said calmly: "Hey, um, the fooling is over. You should pay more attention next time and do more background research. Don't always mess with these ruthless people. Well, the dividends are the same as before. Hit me. The company under my wife’s name has gone bankrupt.”

Su Mo left the St. Rivland Public Security Bureau and returned to the B\u0026B where Chen Hao was staying.

As soon as he came back, he saw Chen Hao sweating profusely, shouting with his mobile phone: "I borrowed the money and transferred it, when will you let him go? Talk! Talk!!!"

Su Mo's eyes flashed, and he quickly walked over and took away the phone.

The phone has been hung up, and there is only a blind tone left.

Su Mo asked, "Did you transfer the ransom?"

Chen Hao hugged his arms tightly and choked with sobs: "They said 200,000 was not enough. They asked me to transfer 400,000."

Su Mo was a little angry: "I told you not to transfer, why are you still transferring? They are just trying to blackmail you and have no intention of letting you go! You have worked so hard to earn some money, so these beasts can benefit from it!"

Chen Hao wiped away his tears and burst into tears: "On the phone just now, Yuzi kept crying over there. I am just such a daughter."

Su Mo lost his temper.

No wonder Chen Hao.

A father would panic when faced with such a situation.

At this time, a voice came from behind Su Mo: "Captain Su."

Shangguan Li followed Su Mo around without saying anything before, but now he finally spoke: "Come here for a moment."

The two of them came to a deserted place in the corner of the corridor.

Shangguanli: "What are your plans next?"

Su Mo: "Of course we will continue to look for clues."

Shangguan Li said helplessly: "No, are you really planning to fight those barbarians across the sea to the end for two people you have only known for a few days?"

Su Mo: "What do you mean, you want to persuade me to give up too?"

Shangguanli: "You are the mercenary leader, right? What are the rules of mercenaries? Take money to do things."

"Chen Hao can't give you any reward, and he and Yuzi are not your relatives or friends, they are just two passers-by who met while traveling."

"Does this kidnapping have anything to do with you? Has it infringed on any of your interests? Brother, you are here for vacation, and now you are helping others handle cases? Don't tell me that you have always been such a virgin."

Su Mo looked into Shangguan Li's eyes and suddenly asked an unrelated question: "Captain Shangguan, with your strength, you should be able to get a very good job in a giant company. Why do you want to start your own business as a mercenary?"

Without waiting for Shangguan Li's answer, Su Mo came to the conclusion for her: "I think it's because mercenaries are free and can pursue the path they want to take."

"In our industry, profit comes first, and there are many snobbish people. Snobbishness itself is nothing. It is the duty of a mercenary to get paid to do things."

"It's just that I feel that being snobbish is not the same as being greedy for money."

"Yes, Chen Hao and Youzi can't give me any reward, and they can't have a deep friendship with me. There is no benefit in helping them."

"But if you only look at interests in everything and don't look at anything else, and your blood and spirit have been worn away by reality, then what's the use of getting more money or having more power?"

"It doesn't mean that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. At least the greater the ability, the colder the heart."

Shangguanli lowered his eyes and remained silent. After a long time, she smiled briefly: "You speak like a free and undisciplined knight."

Su Mo patted her arm and said with a smile, "Stop testing me here. Isn't it interesting to play such a trick?"

"You must want to help them two more than I do, otherwise you wouldn't have been following me around all morning."

Shangguan said goodbye: "I didn't."

Su Mo smiled angrily and said, "I can see it. You and Dongdong are the same type of tsundere, and they are best at duplicity."

He called Dongdong and said something in her ear.

Dongdong ran downstairs and came back a few minutes later with a bound document. He handed it to Su Mo and said, "Here, it's typed according to our template."

Su Mo walked towards Chen Hao and put the document in front of him: "Sign it and stamp it with your fingerprints. Let's go through the necessary procedures."

Chen Hao looked at the document blankly: "What is this?"

Su Mo: "I rarely sign directly with the employer for entrustment contracts without going through the middleman. Today is an exception."

"Entrustment contract?" Chen Hao picked up the document and looked through it blankly.

This is a template contract for the fringe mercenary group. The general idea is: Su Mo, the leader of the fringe mercenary group, is entrusted by his employer Chen Hao to take full responsibility for rescuing his daughter Chen You who was kidnapped by armed forces outside the Great Wall. Once signed, the entrustment relationship takes effect immediately.

Chen Hao was stunned and murmured: "But... I have no money anymore."

Su Mo joked: "Brother, do you never look at the price when reading a contract?"

Chen Hao subconsciously turned back the contract and looked at the entrustment remuneration column.

"11 monthly coins???" He was dumbfounded.

Su Mo shrugged and joked, "You can give me a few more coins, I don't think it's too much."

No matter how slow Chen Hao reacted, he still realized that Su Mo was trying his best to help him.

He was so excited that tears filled his eyes. As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Su Mo: "Captain Su, I"

Su Mo stretched out his hand to support him: "Okay, okay, the employer is Party A, how can Party A kowtow to Party B? Hurry up and sign and stamp your fingerprints."

"Thank you so much." Chen Hao wiped away his tears of excitement, took the pen and ink pad from Dongdong, and signed and stamped his name.

The entrustment contract officially comes into effect.

Sumer collected the contract and said, "Then let's get started. From the moment you get off the plane and arrive in St. Rifland, tell me everything you have done in the past few days and what you have encountered. Don't miss any details." No matter how inconspicuous.”

Chen Hao began to tell the truth, recounting the two people's experiences over the past few days in detail.

When Chen Hao talked about his experience of going to the hospital, Su Mo interrupted him: "Stop. Did you just say that the surgeon prescribed many examination items for Yuzi?"

Chen Hao: "Yes."

Su Mo: "Youzi cut your hand on the glass, why do you need so many tests?"

Chen Hao: "The doctor said that glass may cause inflammation and so on. You need to carefully check whether there is any residue in the body. I am uneducated and don't know much about it. The doctor said it should be done, so I took grapefruit and did it."

Su Mo: "Is there anything special about your daughter? For example, a rare blood type or something?"

Chen Hao: "Yes, she has Rh-negative blood, and she followed my first wife."

"Panda Blood" Su Mo seemed to realize something, "Is the checklist still there?"

Chen Hao turned on his mobile phone: "Yes, there is an electronic deposit receipt."

After reading the contents of the checklist, Su Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "These are all necessary tests for organ transplant surgery. It seems that someone is eyeing her organs."

Chen Hao was so frightened that he lost his mind: "Ah? What should we do?!"

Su Mo: "Have you shown this checklist to anyone else?"

Chen Hao quickly shook his head: "No, only Yuzi and I have seen it."

Su Mo looked at the end of the checklist and his eyes fell on [Attending Doctor: Wen Ye].

He smiled coldly: "Old Chen, you go to the Black Rose Hotel first and stay in my room. That floor is full of my people, and they will protect you."

Chen Hao asked: "Where are you going?"

Su Mo turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence: "I'm going to catch the mouse."
