Anthony said perfunctorily, "I want to know too."
"This doesn't seem like the Anthony I know. If you can't even find this out, your job as the deputy director of the FBI has been in vain."
Anthony was silent for a moment, "Where are you? If you have time, let's meet and talk."
"OK, I'm at the police station. Just come over directly." Luke wanted to figure out some things as there were some connections between the two cases.
"See you in a bit."
...
Anthony arrived quickly, reaching Luke's office in just twenty minutes.
He saw Luke sitting at the desk brewing tea and squeezed out a smile, "You're quite leisurely."
Luke gestured for him to sit, "Knowing you were coming, I specially brewed a pot of tea."
Anthony sat opposite Luke, "It seems you are already confident in solving the case of the kidnapping of Isa Redman, the daughter of the wealthy businessman."
Luke shook his head, "As long as we haven't caught the kidnapper, it's too early to say."
The police currently do not know the specific location of the kidnapper, but indeed have two important clues.
The first clue is that biological evidence was found in the house where the kidnapper stayed. If we can compare the biological evidence to identify the kidnapper, half of the case is solved.
The second clue is that Jim is supposed to deliver 6 million US dollars in cash to the kidnappers on March 17, according to the agreement. This is also a great opportunity for capture.
Luke's biggest concern now is the safety of the hostage.
He also hopes to rescue the hostage as soon as possible, but besides these two clues, the police temporarily have no other clues related to the kidnappers.
This is the reason he asked Anthony to come.
The two kidnapping cases occurred close in time, one left a bloodstain with the letter V at the crime scene, and the other claimed by the kidnapper to be Mr. V. The two cases may have some connection.
Anthony held the teacup and took a sip, "Luke, I've come to ask for your help."
Luke replied, "What do you need help with?"
"The kidnapping case of the real estate tycoon Gary Sane's son has hit a bottleneck. There has been no progress in the investigation these days, and I want you to help analyze whether there is a connection between these two kidnapping cases."
Luke picked up the teapot and added some more tea for him, "I don't know much about the kidnapping case of the real estate tycoon Gary Sane's son."
Anthony explained, "The case happened on the night of March 10, around midnight, Gary Sane received a call from the kidnapper claiming his son, Little Gary Sane, was in their hands, telling him to prepare 10 million US dollars in cash by tomorrow night.
Gary Sane was half skeptical and hurriedly contacted his son, but couldn't get in touch.
Gary Sane only knew that his son went out on a yacht with friends but didn't know the specific location.
Afterward, Gary Sane called the police, and the case was handed over to the FBI for investigation."
Anthony handed Luke a cigarette, lit one for himself, took a puff, and continued, "Around two in the morning, we found that yacht, and it was a mess, with lots of bottles and leftover food.
We also found bloodstains on the yacht, including a bloodstained letter V.
Afterward, after identification, this belonged to three people's blood, including Little Gary Sane.
After an investigation, we found out Little Gary Sane held a party on the yacht that day, attended by a dozen or so people, and it didn't disperse until after ten in the evening.
Among them, two attendees are also missing.
Afterward, after identification, the other two bloodstains on the yacht were left by these two people.
These two are a couple, the man named Mohan Wald, a friend of Little Gary Sane.
We speculate that the possibility is not just one person being kidnapped, but three.
Anthony flicked some ash from his cigarette, took a puff, and sighed, "You know what happened later. The media found out about the kidnapping of the tycoon's son, and it was on the morning news the next day.
This case was also completely messed up, and there have been no more calls from the kidnappers since."
Luke understood the case roughly and said, "This kidnapping case is a bit rough, not like done by professionals.
Kidnapping more people increases the risk of exposure."
Anthony said, "I speculate the kidnapper's target was Little Gary Sane. The kidnapping of Mohan Wald and his girlfriend must've been an accident.
For instance, they were present during the kidnapping or even witnessed the process.
If they were killed directly, the police would investigate Little Gary Sane's kidnapping anyway.
So they took all three away."
Luke asked, "Is it possible that Mohan Wald and his girlfriend kidnapped Little Gary Sane?"
Anthony shook his head, "This possibility is extremely low. They attended the yacht party and it's easy to trace back to them afterward."
Luke nodded, "Do you know who leaked the news of Little Gary Sane's kidnapping?"
"We found the reporter who first broadcast the news. Someone called him anonymously, using a prepaid disposable phone and the owner's information couldn't be traced.
After numerous inquiries, I suspect there might be a mole in the FBI."
Luke frowned slightly, if there is a mole in the FBI leading to the hostage being killed, that's a big problem.
"Do you have any suspects for the identity of the mole?"
"Not yet, I haven't found any evidence of a mole in the FBI. After ruling out various possibilities, this is the biggest possibility..."
