Episode 7 recap: Double Kidnapping.
Xiao Yi received a message that Han Dong's car had been found. He quickly took people with him and went to the location. They discovered that the car's dashcam was missing, and there were no signs of a struggle inside the car. Xiao Yi noticed a print shop nearby that was under renovation, so they went to inquire. The owner stated that they hadn't noticed anything unusual.
Xiao Yi noticed that the owner had ordered two meals and asked if there was someone else with him. The owner explained that the second meal was for dinner and could be heated in the microwave. Xiao Yi and the team investigated Han Dong's whereabouts and discovered that he wouldn't usually pass through Huayang Road. Therefore, it was unusual for him to have been on that road that day.
Xiao Yi believed that the driver was the most likely person capable of influencing Han Dong's route, so they sent someone to investigate Geng Jin. Geng Jin's wife is Wang Fang. Her last appearance was on Wednesday morning. Xiao Yi and the team went to the hospital where Wang Fang worked to conduct an investigation. The staff checked the duty records and confirmed that Wang Fang was indeed on duty on Wednesday. However, she was supposed to have the day after tomorrow off.
Xiao Yi instructed Liang Dong Ni and Dou Zi Lin to retrace Wang Fang's route after work, avoiding surveillance cameras as much as possible. They eventually discovered that the only place where surveillance could be evaded was the underground parking lot. Xiao Yi and the team investigated Han Dong further and learned that he was a spoiled child. His father managed the family business, but Han Dong drove luxury cars and boasted outside to save face.
Xiao Yi and the team approached Han Yongshi for questioning. Han Yongshi stated that the kidnappers had no connection to him. However, when pressed, Han Yongshi admitted that Han Dong indeed lacked discretion in his relationships with the opposite sex. There was an incident where he made advances on a young girl, and Han Yongshi personally witnessed it but pretended not to. Dou Zi Lin believed that it was highly likely that Han Dong was kidnapped because of this incident.
Xiao Yi didn't think that Geng Jin would be capable of such actions based on these circumstances.
Han Yongshi's younger brother, Han Yonglin, came to see Han Yongshi. The kidnappers sent the message to his phone, and Han Yongshi realized it was indeed his son. Han Yongshi said he needed to go home to change clothes. The surveillance team asked Xiao Yi about it, and Xiao Yi instructed them to catch up quickly. However, they discovered that the person in the car was already Han Yonglin.
Xiao Yi and the team rushed over and intercepted Geng Jin. Geng Jin explained that he had no choice. On the day he returned home, he found a phone in the car, and it contained a video of his wife, Wang Fang, being kidnapped. The kidnappers called and said there were drugs in the car, instructing him to make Han Dong consume them, resulting in Han Dong's kidnapping. The car drove to Huayang Road, where they transferred the captive into another vehicle and headed to a lumberyard. Now they were forcing Geng Jin to kidnap Han Yongshi.
Geng Jin also mentioned an incident involving Han Dong six months ago. That day, they were drinking at a bar and encountered a girl named Qu Yuan Yuan. Han Dong approached Qu Yuan Yuan to strike up a conversation, but she ignored him. Other friends who were with them teased Han Dong, saying he was embarrassed. Han Dong expressed his desire to rape Qu Yuan Yuan and asked Geng Jin to stop her boyfriend, Qian Feng. Geng Jin knocked Qian Feng unconscious and left him in an alley. Later, Qian Feng caused trouble, but Han Yongshi resolved it by paying him money. He then had Geng Jin accompany Han Dong to an island for a few days until the situation calmed down before they returned.
Dou Zi Lin and the team went to the bar to investigate. They learned that the day of the incident, several salespeople from a cosmetics company had made a reservation there. They called in those salespeople to inquire about the situation. Xiao Yi believed that since the kidnappers knew Geng Jin's whereabouts and immediately called him to go to the lumberyard, it indicated that they were likely monitoring Geng Jin in the vicinity.
Dou Zi Lin called Xiao Yi and informed him that Qian Feng was the owner of the print shop they had seen that day. Xiao Yi quickly led the team to the print shop, but by that time, everyone had already left.
