With the addition of the word "temple", there are more interpretations.

Killing people, dead sand, killing temple...

The kidnappers had a grudge against Yuan's father, not against Qian'an Temple, so it is impossible for them to use the term "Murderous Temple" to refer to Qian'an Temple.

In any case, three words are still not a complete sentence.

Chu Yao asserted: "There are still remaining words, but we haven't found them yet."

Captain Liu pondered for a while and then said, "Let's listen to the two recordings again. There may be some clues."

He first clicked on the most recently sent message, which was the second one, and Yuan Jiahao's voice appeared again.

"...Come and save me, quickly."

But this recording is too short. Including the noise, it is only more than four seconds. Yuan Jiahao only said four words, and there is no connection between them.

Then, there was the first recording.

"Everyone in the Yuan family, are you okay now? I have brought you good news and bad news."

"Let me tell you the good news first. At 8:48 last night, I met Jiaqian at the South Railway Station. She seemed to be in good condition."

"The bad news is that I have some unspeakable difficulties, so I have to ask you for some compensation."

"If you are willing to pay me 1.5 million RMB, I will be happy to tell you more about Jia Qian."

"Please put 1.5 million in cash in a portable suitcase and place it on the steps in front of Xinhe Magazine within 24 hours of receiving this message."

"After confirming that the reward is correct, I will provide the latest news at the same time tomorrow."

Captain Liu listened to it several times. He looked up and asked, "Did you receive any more recordings later?"

Chu Yao turned on his phone, and there were no more records in the voicemail.

"He only said 'I will provide the latest news tomorrow' in the first recording, but not in the second one. Maybe there are only two recordings." Chu Yao guessed.

Captain Liu nodded and said, "It's very likely. Then... it can only be the time he mentioned in the first recording."

"Eight forty-eight?" Officer Zheng thought for a moment, "But what does this mean?"

The other texts were marked, but there was nothing special about the recording. Could it be that the kidnapper wanted to say just one of the numbers?

He asked again, "Could it be the recurring eight? Murder, eight temples... not murder? Not me killing people?"

"Where did I come from? Did you make one up yourself?" Captain Liu knocked his head rudely.

"So...kill ten temples? Kill four temples?"

"What a mess, it's just nonsense!" Captain Liu said angrily, "Can't you just listen to the second half of the sentence?"

Officer Zheng covered his head and said pitifully, "I know, I know. At 8:48 last night, I saw Jiaqian at the South Railway Station... 8:48, South Railway Station?!"

What will happen at the South Railway Station at 8:48?

What he said was obviously referring to the train that departed from Hongyong County at 8:48 on the night Yuan Jiahao was kidnapped.

Since Hongyong County is the "starting point", the answer lies at the end of the train.

With this information, Captain Liu calmly returned to his seat.

Seeing his apprentice still standing there in a daze, he asked, "Now that I know, why don't you go check it out? Do you still need an old master to help you with the work?"
