Chapter 667

Ask the kidnapper, how to prove that the person you kidnapped is the person I'm looking for?

This answer is actually not that complicated.

Accompanied by Arthur's screams entering the receiver from afar, Mayor Williams clenched his fists tightly, and could even hear the kind of stuttering sound made by skin friction!

James nodded with anger on his face. It was Arthur's voice.

Mayor Williams could also confirm this. After all, he was a child who grew up by his side. Even if it was the sound of that waste farting, he could distinguish it, let alone his screams!

"Can you confirm it now?"

"Mr. Mayor?"

The frivolous and mocking tone in the tone made Mayor Williams let out a heavy sigh of relief. His clenched fists relaxed.

In his life, he had experienced many things, and this couldn't be considered the worst.

"What do you want?"

The guy on the other end of the phone laughed twice. Just through this laughter, he keenly sensed that these people must be gang members.

Their laughter had that arrogance of gang members, that kind of thing that didn't put anyone in their eyes.

"I don't want anything, I just want to be friends with Mr. Mayor."

"Now it is... 3:15 PM. You come to this location before 3:40 PM."

Mayor Williams was still waiting for him to continue, for example... some more outrageous requirements that he couldn't complete.

He knew very well that Arthur being kidnapped definitely wasn't because ordinary kidnappers wanted to knock him for a sum. Behind this, it must be those people in the Bay Area making trouble. They wouldn't let Arthur back so easily. They must have deeper purposes.

But after waiting for a while, the other side didn't say anything. Although he had some confusion in his heart, there was no change in his tone. "That's all?"

"Yes, that's all. You still have twenty-four minutes."

"If you don't arrive at this location by 3:40, you can get a part of Arthur!"

Then he hung up the phone with his arrogant laughter. Listening to the busy tone in the phone, Mayor Williams canceled continuing to listen to the phone.

And he quickly picked up the phone and dialed Lan Si's number. "I need your help. They want me to go to... this location, otherwise they might take a part off Arthur."

"I need a little help."

Lan Si didn't consider too much and agreed directly.

At the current stage, Mayor Williams was one of his most important partners. Only if Mayor Williams was always in office would the candidate for police chief not be changed.

If a new mayor was changed and Chief Bulu was replaced, even if he controlled the extra income of every police officer every month, there would still be some variables and places that couldn't be controlled.

Greed is always the first driving force. If the newly elected mayor doesn't just intend to send him to prison, but directly replaces him?

Find a puppet, continue to control the liquor market in this city, and the other side can also make the police force follow him wholeheartedly.

So before he completely grew up, Lan Si still needed to take care of them.

After hanging up the phone, Mayor Williams got up immediately. Although he was mentally prepared to "lose" Arthur, as long as there was a chance, he still wouldn't give up.

Federal people might not be able to summarize the refined and straightforward language of "younger son, eldest grandson," but this waste-like younger son definitely had an extraordinary status in his mind!

"I'll go too.", James also stood up, but Mayor Williams stopped him.

"They want me to leave City Hall. Something must have happened. It's possible they need me to handle it. Only when I'm not here can they succeed."

While putting on his coat, he looked at James. "When I'm not here, you represent me to handle everything!"

"Believe in your own judgment, believe in your ability!"

He paused. "You are the best!"

After he finished speaking, he opened the door and left without looking back. The other side had no requirements, just let him leave City Hall, and he had already guessed such a reason.

This is not an era with mobile communications. Once he leaves City Hall, he basically loses connection with "power information."

If there is any sudden situation during this period, and he can't receive the call, and people in City Hall can't find him, but it happens to be something very important that he must make decisions on personally, then something will definitely happen!

Arthur...

He pursed his lips. After he comes back, he must teach this waste a good lesson!

He sat into the car and patted the back of the driver's seat. "Drive."

The vehicle soon left City Hall. A guy leaning against a utility pole diagonally across the road looked like he was reading a newspaper, but he had been reading this newspaper for a long time.

Actually, he was observing the changes in City Hall. When he saw the mayor's car come out from inside and saw Mayor Williams sitting in the back seat, he threw the newspaper into the trash can on the side of the road, then walked into the phone booth and dialed the number he knew by heart.

"He just left City Hall...", after finishing, he hung up the phone, then put his hands in his pants pockets, pulled up his collar, shrank his neck, and walked in the opposite direction.

The gradually gloomy sky began to drift with snowflakes. It was snowing again.

In a situation where he was almost overtime, Mayor Williams stood at the location they agreed on with a sigh of relief. That was the side of a park road. He stood there, and besides three cars and Lan Si sitting in the car, he couldn't see anyone else at all.

Just when the time pointed to 3:40, the phone ring in a phone booth not far away suddenly rang. Mayor Williams turned around and looked at that phone booth. He had a premonition that it was a call for him. He glanced at Lan Si, and Lan Si nodded slightly. He strode over and picked up the phone.

"Very, very good, Mr. Mayor. You are a person who keeps time and has a sense of time."

"However, I still have doubts about this. I hope you can arrive at this... this address before 4:00."

Mayor Williams didn't say anything and hung up the phone directly. He came out of the phone booth, looked around again, and then got into his car.

Lan Si's motorcade also started from a slightly further place, following him, but at the same time, Lan Si also let a few people watch this vicinity.

After Mayor Williams came, the phone ring rang. It's possible that someone was observing at close range nearby.

He let some people stay behind. If they saw someone suddenly leave in a short time, then arrange for people to follow.

As for him, he continued to follow Mayor Williams, and at a traffic light, let Mayor Williams sit into his car.

"He is playing with me, wasting my time. Do you have any good way?"

"My brain is very messy now!"

After all, it relates to his most favored younger son. It's not easy for him to be able to calmly analyze some things.

!

Lan Si nodded. "Continue to play this game with him. This time we will arrive a little later. Of course, I will arrange for people to go over first."

"The next address, no matter what location he tells you, delay the time as much as possible."

"Delay about ten minutes, just say that it's about to reach the peak period in the evening, the road is a bit congested, and you might not be able to arrive at the agreed time."

Mayor Williams nodded, then looked at Lan Si. He didn't ask directly why, but asked Lan Si with his eyes.

If it could be answered, Lan Si would tell him. If it couldn't be answered, Lan Si could also choose not to see it.

Sometimes this way of expression is more tactful and won't create tension.

"I will catch him, don't worry."

"I have already arranged for people to be scattered throughout the city. When the agreed time arrives, they will honk."

"I need you to delay as much as possible during the call, for example, ask to talk to Arthur or something."

"But what you need to do is listen carefully to whether there is the sound of honking in the background, and what it is like."

Mayor Williams's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Lan Si with an unbelievable look. He had never thought of using such a method to solve the problem!

"You are really a genius, Lan Si!", heartfelt, absolutely not flattery!

Lan Si smiled. "I'm just better at discovering."

At the next traffic light, Mayor Williams returned to his car, and then gradually accelerated, keeping a distance from Lan Si's car.

This time, he was about seven or eight minutes late than the agreed time, but similarly, he just arrived, and the phone ring rang.

The guy on the other side of the phone line was a bit angry. "You are late!"

Mayor Williams said that set of rhetoric from Lan Si again. Although the guy on the other side of the phone accepted his rhetoric, he still expressed dissatisfaction.

"I can accept your reason, but this time, you need to accept punishment!"

Immediately after, he heard Arthur's screams, but this time, he wasn't that "nervous" because he knew that soon he would meet these people.

"The next address, you need to arrive before 4:30... here. If you are overtime, Arthur will be triggered more severely!"

"Wait a minute!", before the other side hung up the phone, Mayor Williams said that set of rhetoric from Lan Si.

"It's about to enter the evening peak, and it's still snowing. The road is full of crowded vehicles. I can't guarantee to arrive at that location at the agreed time."

The guy on the other side of the phone didn't seem to have any intention of compromising. "That's your business!"

Mayor Williams didn't get used to him either. "You can kill him."

That guy was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked in an uncertain tone, "You... say what?"

"I said, you can kill him, and I, now go back to City Hall. I have no interest in playing this game with you that I can't do."

Perhaps it was because he felt the firmness in Mayor Williams's tone, the guy on the opposite side made a compromise. "Okay, 4:40, can't be late again."

"Forty-five!"

"...... Okay!"
