The Vanished Ransom
After school this afternoon, Xiaoming did not go home. Xiaoming's parents were very worried and searched everywhere for him, but could not find him. The next day, Xiaoming's parents received an envelope with no sender's name written on it. The letter read: "Your child is with me right now. If you mail 10,000 US dollars in cash to Address A, I will let him return to you." Xiaoming's parents withdrew 10,000 US dollars from the bank, put it in a package and mailed it out, and contacted the police at the same time. The police waited at Address A for a long time, but no one ever came to pick up the package. Soon after, Xiaoming returned home safely. The police waiting at Address A opened the package for inspection, and found it was completely empty. The 10,000 US dollars originally placed inside had disappeared without a trace.
