Lost and Spy

Chapter 881 The whereabouts of the hostages
"There is no reason, now is not the earliest meeting."

Wu Jingyi also frowned: "In the early days, kidnappings of foreigners happened every now and then, but later, people like Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin imposed strict restrictions on their own interests, so similar incidents became less and less. In recent years, apart from you, no one will really do it.”

amount.

What do you mean except what you did?
Meng Shaoyuan was embarrassed.

Wu Jingyi didn't care about his feelings either: "There was no demand for ransom, and this pair of foreign talents came to Shanghai, and they certainly wouldn't have any enmity with anyone. So what is it for?"

"Gan Ning is leading the team in the area of ​​Jing'an Temple." Meng Shaoyuan pondered: "I have asked him to start investigating, hoping to find some clues."

"Do you think there is a possibility?"

Wu Jingyi suddenly thought of something: "Caught by mistake!"

"What? Caught by mistake?" Meng Shaoyuan didn't react for a while.

Wu Jingyi slowly said a few words:
"Zhengjin Bank Bombing!"

Zhengjin Bank bombing?
Yup!

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes lit up, why didn't he think about it?
In the bombing of Zhengjin Bank, I sent Kreiter and Sophia to act as a couple.Clayte is a handsome guy, and Sophia is a beautiful woman.

In the eyes of some Chinese, foreigners all look alike.

They must have received Ji Yunqing's order to arrest the foreign couple everywhere, but most of his disciples had never seen the two of them, so they could only search based on the limited information provided by Ji Yunqing.

Young couple, brunette?
Meng Shaoyuan picked up the photo again.

Cynthia really has black hair!
right on.

Caught by mistake!

In all likelihood, the kidnappers mistook Edward and Cynthia for Clayton and Sophia!
So in this way, it makes perfect sense.

Meng Shaoyuan never thought that the kidnapping of Ms. Kaila's son and future daughter-in-law was indirectly related to him.

"District Chief Meng."

Gan Ning opened the door and walked in: "After I received the order, I immediately divided into two groups. One group went to the pier, and the other group conducted investigations at Jing'an Temple. I found the luggage brought by Edward at the pier. On the other hand, they helped to transport them back, and they only brought their bags with them.

There is quite a lot of information on Jing'an Temple. Indeed, a young foreign man and woman went there to play. According to the memories of several shop owners, it is certain that they came to Shanghai for the first time and they were very curious about everything.These shopkeepers have been in Jing'an Temple all year round, and most of the shopkeepers or young men can speak a few pidgin English.The owner of Xisheng Steamed Bun Shop speaks good English. He communicated with them briefly, and even helped them point out the way. The most important thing is that Edward was kidnapped after leaving Xisheng Baozi Shop. "

"Oh, keep talking." Meng Shaoyuan immediately paid attention.

Gan Ning continued: "Edward and Cynthia came out of Xisheng Baozi Shop, and immediately six people surrounded them and took them away without any further explanation. The owner of the Baozi Shop saw with his own eyes that the foreign man still tried his best to resist and was beaten unconscious. Then they called two rickshaws and stuffed Edward and Cynthia into a rickshaw respectively, with a person sitting next to each with a gun to monitor, the whole process went very quickly, and no one dared to take care of it."

"Does the boss recognize any of them?"

"I know, there is a man nicknamed Tumozi who has been in Jing'an Temple all year round and lives by extortion. The most important thing is that this man is Wu Sibao's subordinate."

Sure enough!

Wu Jingyi's guess was correct.

Gan Ning had been with Meng Shaoyuan for a long time, and he didn't need the other party's instructions, and said: "I found one of the coachmen, his name is Ah Zhong. I'm waiting outside now."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Tell him to come in."

After a while, Ah Zhong came in timidly.

"Your name is Ah Zhong?" Meng Shaoyuan looked at him.

"Yes, boss, I'm Ah Zhong."

"You know who I am?"

"I don't know, but it must be the big boss."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled, then took out a pistol, and slapped the table heavily.

Ah Zhong was so frightened that he was so clever: "Boss, I'm just a stinky cart driver. I didn't offend you. If I have a dog's memory, I forgot. Your lord has a lot of hands, and you let me go like a fart." .”

Meng Shaoyuan smiled again, opened the drawer, took out a stack of oceans and put them on the table as well.

Ah Zhong has been pulling a rickshaw for more than ten years, and has seen all kinds of people. He immediately understood the situation: "Boss, I want the ocean, not bullets."

"You are a smart man." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly, "You must know what I want to ask you."

"I know, I know, but boss, please don't say that I told you, those people are cruel, I still have a wife and children to support."

"Speak, what you say today is limited to this."

"Okay, okay." Ah Zhong glanced at the pistol and Dayang: "I was waiting for the guests as usual that day, but the native mouse brought people here, and they hired me and the old Yancheng's car, and let us just take the car out , not allowed to speak. The soil mouse is the leader of the gangsters there, we all have to rely on him for food, and no one dares to offend.

Boss, what Lennon wants to ask is probably the two foreigners, right?That's right, Lao Yancheng and I did it, I can't help it, the gun is facing me from behind.To tell you the truth, when we got to the destination, the bastard, Tumozi, didn't even give us the money for the car. He lent the guts of me and Lao Yancheng, and didn't dare to ask him for it. This car was worthless. "

"Don't talk nonsense, where did the car go?"

"No. 67, Yuyuan Road!"

As soon as the address was mentioned, Wu Jingyi and Gan Ning immediately glanced at each other.

At the intersection of Yuyuan Road and Jiangsu Road in Shanghai, there are two narrow roads.

Don't be inconspicuous, but many celebrities have lived here.

The three sisters Du Yuming, Li Jishen, Cai Yuanpei, Yu Qiaqing, Zhang Ailing and Song lived closest to the intersection.

And at the place closest to the intersection of these two roads, there are also two "celebrities".

No. 749, Lane 63, Yuyuan Road, lives in Li Shiqun, who has just arrived in Shanghai!

And No. 67, Yuyuan Road, lived in Wu Sibao!

Edward and Cynthia were kidnapped at Wu Sibao's residence!

Meng Shaoyuan pushed Dayang forward: "Take it, don't tell anyone that you have been here."

"I know, I know, I still need my own head." Ah Zhong hurriedly picked up Dayang: "Thank you boss, thank you boss."

As soon as Ah Zhong left, Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked, "Is there any possibility of a strong attack?"

"There is no way to do it." Gan Ning is very familiar with the place: "The alleys there are too narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The reason why Li Shiqun and Wu Sibao chose this place is because of the topography. There are people standing guard there, and if there is any movement, the police will be called immediately. After Li Shiqun lived in, the security force there has been greatly strengthened.

As for where they live and how many bodyguards there are, we have no way of knowing.I have tried it before, Wu Sibao likes to eat Manchunlou's dishes, and he often asks to eat at home. I sent a guy who pretends to be Manchunlou, but when ordering food, he will not be allowed to enter the alley.The lunch box will be carefully inspected, and the food will be tasted and confirmed to be non-toxic before Wu Sibao will eat it.Wu Sibao took great pains for his own safety. "

Even if Wu Sibao was like this, after Li Shiqun moved in, his suspicion was even worse than that.

"We have also tried to bribe people around Wu Sibao." Wu Jingyi said: "Although Wu Sibao is ruthless, he has good opponents and is willing to spend money. Therefore, the people responsible for protecting him are all determined. We spent a lot of money." It took a lot of effort to bribe a peripheral member, he once entered Wu Sibao’s house, according to his description, there were only two machine guns visible there, and there was even a box of grenades in the yard!”

It's armed to the teeth.

To complete a successful assassination is by no means an easy task, on the contrary, there are many difficulties.

For example, Changqing Yamamoto who was assassinated.

On January 28 this year, which coincided with the sixth anniversary of the January 1th Anti-Japanese War, the anti-Japanese underground organizations lurking in the concession launched multiple bomb attacks against Japanese expatriates and pro-Japanese organizations on January 27 and 28.

At that time, Zhou Weilong, the mayor of the military-controlled Shanghai District, and Cheng Yiming, the secretary, also sent agents to participate.

On that day, there were many bomb cases in the two concessions in Shanghai.The residences of the Japanese Consul Okamoto, the manager of Nippon Yusen Kaisha Yamamoto, and the branch office of "Daoshifu" on Jiaozhou Road were all attacked, but no one was injured.

Police officers from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce were dispatched all night, and successively arrested 13 suspects, and seized pistol bullets, cigarette tins, homemade bombs, and other items.

Afterwards, from the point of view of attack methods, all of them were surprise attacks by throwing explosives. Hand grenades, an easy-to-carry disposable weapon, should be the most ideal choice for anti-Japanese underground organizations.

In addition, judging from the weapons recovered by the military and police, homemade bombs made of cigarette cans were also found, but these indigenous equipment should not be too lethal.

From the perspective of pure record, this series of attacks can be said to be appalling.Except for two Chinese who were injured, no Japanese military and political personnel or expatriates were injured, basically zero results.

Analyzing the crux of this low-efficiency attack, the simple and rude attack method is an important reason.Anti-Japanese elements usually take trolleybuses on the way past the target, and retreat immediately after a sudden attack.

It can only be said that the political significance of this attack is greater than the military significance, and the deterrent effect is greater than the lethal effect.

The real situation is that the grenade exploded in front of the house of the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, Okamoto Kisho, and the people in the house were not injured.

Judging from the price paid, it is not insignificant. Thirteen suspects were arrested in the International Settlement that night. Is a member of the underground anti-Japanese organization.

It can be seen that it is difficult for the underground anti-Japanese elements to have time to transfer to carry out such attacks in the concession.

It is not so easy and convenient to kill a person in the concession!
