Yihshyong nodded. "That was the original plan. But after Jenqyih fired the flare gun, something happened."
"Did the police think anyone was hurt at the time, so they just came out of hiding?" asked Chioujen.
"Yes. They were very surprised when they heard the flare gun. We have to admit, the sound of the flare gun was really loud. It resembled the sound of a gun with the real bullets," said Yihshyong. "But apparently, apart from that, there is still something else."
I do not think so! The sound of the flare gun is definitely different. I don't know why the police think like the common people!
"After Jenqyih fired the flare gun, the tracking device held by the police suddenly malfunctioned. The device could not pick up the signal emitted by the transmitter attached to the bag. Therefore, due to panic, they immediately appeared. It was a mistake. They also confessed earlier. Supposedly, even if they couldn't detect any signal, they should still hide. Once the criminals appear, they can follow the criminals in a conventional manner."
"What happened exactly?" asked Chioujen.
"As soon as they freed us from the handcuffs, they immediately checked the handcuffs. Turned out they weren't ordinary handcuffs. Just as the police had placed transmitters in the parts of the two bags, the criminals also had tiny electronic devices attached to the cuffs- the handcuffs. The function of the tool is to disrupt the signal that comes out of the device that the police have installed in these bags," said Yihshyong.
"If that's the case, shouldn't it be that before you put the bag on the raft, the police could no longer detect the signal being emitted from the bag?" asked Chioujen.
"Because the time was short, the police have not examined carefully the workings of the signal jammer attached to the handcuffs. However, the police put forward a hypothesis that initially the signal jamming device was off. It only turned on after we put the bag on the raft, Jenqyih said.
"Who lit it?" asked Jinqkang.
"This is all still hypothetical. So the truth has not been tested. However, earlier the police said that most likely the device will automatically turn on if there is sound with a certain intensity and frequency," said Yihshyong.
"Ah! I understand now," shouted the driver. "The sound that came from the flare gun that Mr. Dongfang had fired activated the signal jamming device!"
"That's right! The police did say so." Jenqyih raised his right thumb.
"But a tool like that has a limited range," said Jinqkang. "Once the position of the bag is far from the handcuffs, the police will definitely be able to return to receiving the signal emitted from the bag."
"Regarding that, the police also have an explanation," said Yihshyong.
"Wait a minute!" Chioujen laughed. "Let me guess."
"Please!" Yihshyong smiled.
"Shyongge mentioned earlier that the raft is very odd. The base is hexagonal in shape. Each side also has some kind of wall. So it's actually more like a hexagonal bucket floating on the water."
"That's right! It's really similar to that. We didn't think of calling that object a bucket," Jenqyih said.
Chioujen's face lit up. He seemed to be delighted to have guessed something.
"So as soon as you put the bag on the raft, from each side of the bucket comes a kind of membrane which then covers the top of the bucket. So the membrane is the same as a bucket lid."
Chioujen looked around. He seemed to be trying to make sure everyone understood what he meant before he continued.
This is a bit odd. Chioujen isn't usually like this. Had six months of working in that city changed some of his character?
"There is a possibility that the bucket is made of a certain material that could block or neutralize the signal emitted from the bag. Because the bucket was tightly closed, no signal could come out of the bucket. That's why even though the object was far away from the handcuffs that bound Shyongge and Yihge, but the police still failed to pick up the signal that should have been coming from the bag."
"Wow! These criminals are really great at being able to devise such neat plans and use such sophisticated equipment," said Tsaehorng's driver.
"That's true. They took quite a long time to prepare for it. It's only natural that there were several delays," said Jenqyih.
"But, if it's like that." Tsaehorng spoke up. "Those criminals don't need to put signal jammers on those handcuffs, do they?"
Yihshyong shrugged his shoulders. "About that, I can't answer. It's possible the kidnappers decided to use both methods just in case one of the devices didn't work."
Yihshyong nodded. "That was the original plan. But after Jenqyih fired the flare gun, something happened."
"Did the police think anyone was hurt at the time, so they just came out of hiding?" asked Chioujen.
