Yihshyong turned to Jenqyih. Even though it was dark, Jenqyih could still see that Yihshyong was squinting. He seemed to be straining his eyes.
Exactly, what is Shyongge thinking? His way of thinking is too complicated. I can't keep up with his footsteps. Chioujen should have been here. A super intelligent person like him must have no trouble communicating with Shyongge.
Jenqyih raised his guard. Yihshyong turned out to be serious. Something important came to his mind.
Yihshyong whispered, "alright! I'll try to explain as best I can."
Jenqyih listened carefully. He suspected Yihshyong would explain his conjecture in whispers.
"If it turns out that the kidnappers or people ordered by them have not yet appeared there, then there is a possibility that they are trying to make the handover of the ransom take place at exactly the same time in both places. So, if there are obstacles or problems in one place , here or there, which results in a delay in that place, then in the other place they will also delay it."
Jenqyih's guess was wrong. Yihshyong did not whisper as he brought this up. Even though he didn't say those words out loud, either. However, Yihshyong's brief explanation did not immediately make Jenqyih aware of what Yihshyong meant.
Is tonight, for some reason, my brain can't work properly? Or am I basically an idiot?
"Eh? You still don't understand what I mean?" Yihshyong patted himself on the forehead.
Jenqyih shook his head. "Why should they put it off? Wouldn't it be better for them if one thing gets done first? So they can focus on the other thing?"
Yihshyong took a deep breath. "Because maybe they have prepared a surprise in almost the same way. If they have shown this surprise in one place, then the police will already be able to suspect that the kidnappers will also do the same thing in another place. If the police can already find out their method of escape from one place, then the police will prepare ways to anticipate it in another place."
"You mean they don't want us to see how they escape the police?"
"That's right! If they managed to escape there with one trick, then they wouldn't be able to use that trick here if the police over there had already seen through the trick. The police stationed there, and the ones guarded here, must have some way of communicating."
Jenqyih nodded lightly. "Your words make sense."
"That's possible, right?"
Jenqyih patted Yihshyong on the shoulder. "Right now, have the police also thought of such a possibility?"
Yihshyong looked up at the sky. He then turned to Jenqyih. "I don't know. But I believe the police aren't stupid. If I can think that way, then it's very likely that the police have thought that, too."
"If, somehow, the police manage to figure out the trick, then the police will be able to catch them."
"That's also something I'm worried about. The point of giving these ransom items is so that they, namely the kidnappers, are willing to release Shinnshiow as soon as possible. If they are caught before they can release our friend, then all our efforts will be in vain. So, sorry, I'd prefer if the kidnappers manage to escape. At least, until Shinnshiow makes it back home safely."
