"There's no reason, it's not the earliest time."

Wu Jingyi also frowned: "At first, kidnappings of foreigners happened every now and then. But later, people like Huang Huangrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin also strictly restrained themselves for their own interests, so similar incidents became less and less.

In recent years, except for you who have done it, no one really knows how to do it."

Forehead.

What does it mean except what you did?

Meng Shaoyuan was embarrassed.

But Wu Jingyi didn't care about his feelings: "There is no ransom demand. These foreign talents coming to Shanghai will definitely not make enemies with anyone. What is the purpose of it?"

"Gan Ning is leading the team in the Jing'an Temple area." Meng Shaoyuan muttered: "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: "Arrested by mistake!"

"What? Arrested by mistake?" Meng Shaoyuan did not react for a moment.

Wu Jingyi slowly said a few words:

"Zhengjin Bank Explosion!"

Zhengjin Bank bombing?

yes!

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes lit up, why didn't he think about this?

In the Zhengjin Bank explosion, I sent Crete and Sophia to play a couple. Crete is a handsome young man, and Sophia is also a beautiful woman.

In the eyes of some Chinese people, foreigners all look the same.

They must have received orders from Ji Yunqing to arrest the foreign couple everywhere, but most of his disciples had never seen Crait and the two of them, so they could only rely on the limited intelligence provided by Ji Yunqing to conduct searches.

Young couple, black hair?

Meng Shaoyuan picked up the photo again.

Cynthia really has black hair!

That's right.

Caught by mistake!

In all likelihood, the kidnappers mistook Edward and Cynthia for Crete and Sophia!

So this makes perfect sense.

Meng Shaoyuan never imagined that the kidnapping of Ms. Kayla's son and future daughter-in-law would be 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 an investigation at Jing'an Temple. On the other side of the pier, I found that the luggage that Edward had brought was sent to the pier.

They helped transport it back, but they only brought their carry-on bags.

I got more information about Jing'an Temple. A pair of young foreign men and women did go there. According to the memories of several shop owners, it is certain that it was their first time in Shanghai and they were very curious about everything. These shop owners have been visiting Jing'an Temple all year round.

, most of the shopkeepers or waiters can speak a few words of pidgin English. The boss of Xisheng Baozi Shop has good English. He communicates with them simply and even helps them with directions. The most important thing is that Edward was there when he left Xisheng.

He was kidnapped behind a steamed bun shop."

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

Gan Ning continued: "When Edward and Cynthia left Xisheng Baozi Shop, six people immediately surrounded them and took them away without any explanation. The owner of the bun shop saw with his own eyes that the foreign man tried his best to resist, but was knocked unconscious.

Then they called two rickshaws and put Edward and Cynthia into one rickshaw respectively. There was a person sitting on each side with a gun to monitor. The whole process went very quickly, and no one dared to intervene."

"Does the boss recognize any of them?"

"Yes, there is a person nicknamed Tu Mo Zi who hangs out in Jing'an Temple all year round and makes a living by extorting money. The most important thing is that this person is Wu Sibao's subordinate."

Sure enough!

Wu Jingyi's guess is correct.

Gan Ning had been following Meng Shaoyuan for a long time and did not need any instructions from him. He said again: "I found one of the coachmen, named A Zhong. I'm waiting outside now."

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

After a while, Azhong came in timidly.

"Your name is Azhong?" Meng Shaoyuan looked at him.

"Yes, boss, I am Azhong."

"Do you know who I am?"

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

Meng Shaoyuan smiled, then took out a pistol and slammed it on the table.

Azhong was frightened and thought: "Boss, I'm just a bad truck puller, and I have never offended you. If I have a bad memory and forget that you, sir, have a lot of money, you are so arrogant that you let me go as if it was a fart."

.”

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

Azhong has been pulling a rickshaw for more than ten years and has seen all kinds of people. When he saw this formation, he immediately understood: "Boss, I want the ocean, not the 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 I told you, those people are ruthless, and I still have a wife and children to support."

"Go on, what you say today is limited to this."

"Okay, okay." Azhong glanced at the pistol and Dayang: "That day I was waiting for the guests as usual, but the country rat came with someone. They hired me and Lao Yancheng's car and asked us to just drive out.

, no talking. The local rat is the gangster leader there, we all have to rely on him for food, and no one dares to offend.

Boss, the people you want to ask are probably those two foreigners, right? Yes, it was Lao Yancheng and I who pulled the strings. I couldn't help it. The gun was pointed at me from behind. To be honest, I pulled the strings to the target.

Damn, this bastard, this local rat, didn’t even give us the fare for the bus. Even if Old Yancheng and I had the guts to do it, we didn’t even dare to ask him for it. So this bus trip was in vain.”

"Stop talking nonsense, where is the car?"

"No. 67 Yuyuan Road!"

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

There are two narrow roads at the intersection of Yuyuan Road and Jiangsu Road in Shanghai.

Although it may seem inconspicuous, many celebrities have lived here.

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

And there are two "celebrities" closest to the intersection of these two roads.

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

And at No. 67 Yuyuan Road, Wu Sibao lives!

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

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

"I know, I know, I still need my own head." Azhong hurriedly picked up the ocean: "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss."

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

"There's no way to do it." Gan Ning was very familiar with the place: "The alleys there are too narrow and are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The reason why Li Shiqun and Wu Sibao chose their home there was because of the terrain. There are alleys on both sides.

There were people standing guard at the entrance, and if there was any movement, the alarm would be raised immediately. After Li Shiqun moved in, the security force there was greatly strengthened.

As for where they live, we have no way of knowing how many bodyguards there are. I once tried it out. Wu Sibao likes to eat the food of Manchunlou and often calls him home to eat. I sent a person to pretend to be a man from Manchunlou.

, but when you order a meal, you will not be allowed in when it is delivered to the entrance of the alley. The lunch box will be carefully inspected, and someone will taste the food to confirm that it is non-toxic before letting Wu Sibao eat it. Wu Sibao has taken great pains for his own safety."

Wu Sibao was like this, but after Li Shiqun moved in, he became even more suspicious in terms of his suspicion.

"We have also tried to bribe people around Wu Sibao." Wu Jingyi said: "Although Wu Sibao is ruthless, he is a good opponent of his subordinates and is willing to spend money. Therefore, the people responsible for protecting him are dedicated. We have spent a lot of money.

It took a lot of effort to bribe a peripheral member. He once entered Wu Sibao's home. According to his description, there were two machine guns visible there, and there was even a box of grenades in the yard!"

It can be said that he is armed to the teeth.

To complete a successful assassination is by no means an easy task, on the contrary it is very difficult.

For example, Yamamoto Nagakei was assassinated.

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

The then military commander of Shanghai District Zhou Weilong and secretary Cheng Yiming also sent agents to participate.

On that day, many bombings occurred in the two concessions in Shanghai. The residences of Japanese Consul General Okamoto, Nippon Yusen Kaisha Manager Yamamoto, and the branch office of "Daodao City Hall" on Jiaozhou Road were all attacked, but no one was injured.

Police officers from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau were mobilized throughout the night and arrested 13 suspects and seized pistol bullets, cigarette cans, homemade bombs and other items.

Afterwards, judging from the attack methods, they were all surprise attacks by throwing explosives. Hand grenades, a disposable weapon that is easy to carry, should be the most ideal choice for the anti-Japanese underground organizations.

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

Judging from the pure results, this series of attacks can be said to be horrific. Except for two Chinese injured, no Japanese military and political personnel or foreign nationals were injured, which basically resulted in zero results.

Analyzing the crux of this inefficient attack, an important reason is that the attack method is simple and crude. The anti-Japanese elements usually take trolley buses on the road passing the attack target, and then retreat immediately after the sudden attack.

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

The real situation is that the grenade exploded at the door of the house of the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai Okamoto Yoshimasa. No one in the house was injured, and it was considered good that no passers-by were hit.

Judging from the price paid, it is not a small sum. Thirteen suspects were arrested in the public concession that night. Although these persons may not necessarily be participants in the bombing, judging from the explosives and guns recovered, they should all be

He is a member of the underground anti-Japanese organization.

It can be seen that to carry out such an attack in the concession, it would be difficult for the underground anti-Japanese elements to have time to move.
