"There's no reason why it's not the earliest."

Wu Jingyi also frowned: "At the earliest, there were kidnappings of foreigners every once in a while, but later, Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin were also strictly restrained for their own interests, so there are fewer and fewer similar incidents, and in recent years, except for you, no one will really do it." ”

Forehead.

What do you mean by anything other than what you've done?

Meng Shaoyuan was embarrassed.

Wu Jingyi didn't care about his feelings: "I didn't mention the ransom demand, this pair of foreigners will definitely not have a grudge against anyone when they come to Shanghai, so what is it for?" ”

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

"You say there's 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?

That's right!

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

In the Zhengjin Bank bombing, he sent Kret and Sophia, playing a husband and wife. Kret is a handsome guy, and Sophia is also a big beauty.

In the eyes of some Chinese, foreigners look similar.

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 rely on the limited information provided by Ji Yunqing to search.

Young couple, brunette?

Meng Shaoyuan picked up the photo again.

Cynthia really has black hair!

That's right.

Caught by mistake!

Ten of the kidnappers took Edward and Cynthia for Crayt and Sophia!

So in this way, it makes perfect sense.

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

"District Chief Meng."

Gan Ning pushed the door and walked in: "After I received the order, I immediately divided into two groups, one group went to the dock, and the other group went to Jing'an Temple to investigate. On the docks, I found out that Edward had brought the luggage, which had been brought back by the docks, and they only brought their bags with them.

There was a lot of information from Jing'an Temple, and it was true that a couple of young foreign men and women had gone there to play, and according to the recollections of several shopkeepers, it was certain that they were visiting Shanghai for the first time and were curious about everything. These shopkeepers live in Jing'an Temple all year round, and most of the shopkeepers or young men can speak a few words of pidgin English. The owner of the Xisheng steamed bun shop spoke good English, communicated with them briefly, and specially helped them show the way, and the most important thing is that Edward was kidnapped after leaving the Xisheng steamed bun shop. ”

"Oh, go on." Meng Shaoyuan immediately paid attention.

Gan Ning continued: "Edward and Cynthia came out of the Xisheng bun shop, and immediately six people surrounded them and took them away without saying anything. The owner of the bun shop saw with his own eyes that the foreign man tried his best to resist, but he was knocked unconscious. Then they called two rickshaws and stuffed Edward and Cynthia into a rickshaw respectively, and one person sat on each side with a gun to monitor, and the whole process went very quickly, and no one on the side dared to care. ”

"Does the boss recognize the people in it?"

"I know, there is a person nicknamed Earth Mouse, who wanders in Jing'an Temple all the year round and makes a living by extortion. The most important thing is that this person is Wu Sibao's subordinate. ”

And so it was!

Wu Jingyi's guess was correct.

Gan Ning had been following Meng Shaoyuan for a long time, and he didn't need the other party's instructions, and said: "I found one of the coachmen, named Ah Zhong. Just wait outside now. ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Call him in." ”

After a while, Ah Zhong came in with a cower.

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

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

"Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely the big boss."

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

Ah Zhong was frightened: "Boss, I'm a stinky cart puller, I haven't offended you." If I am a dog and forget, you have a lot of them, raise your noble hand, and 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.

Ah Zhong has been pulling a rickshaw for more than ten years, and all kinds of characters have seen it, and he immediately understood when he saw this formation: "Boss, I want the ocean, not bullets." ”

"You're a smart guy." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "You must know what I want to ask you. ”

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

"Say, that's all you say today."

"Good, good." Ah Zhong glanced at the pistol and the ocean: "That day, I was waiting for the guests as usual, but the earth rat came with people, and they hired me and Lao Yancheng's car, so that we could just get out of the car and not talk." The earth rat is the hooligan leader there, and we all have to rely on him for food, and no one dares to offend.

Boss, it's probably the two foreigners that Nong wants to ask, right? That's right, it was me and Lao Yancheng who pulled it, I can't help it, the muzzle of the gun is facing me from behind. I won't tell you anything, pull to the destination, the earth rat, this bastard, didn't even give us the car money, borrowed me and Lao Yancheng three guts, and didn't dare to ask him for it, this trip was in vain. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, where is the car?"

"No. 67 Yuyuan Road!"

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

At the intersection of Yuyuan Road and Jiangsu Road in Shanghai, there are two roads that are not wide.

Don't look down-to-earth, but there are quite a few celebrities living here.

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

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

No. 63, Lane 749, Yuyuan Road, lives in Li Shiqun, who has not been in Shanghai for a long time!

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 that you've been here." ”

"I know, I know, I still want 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?" ”

"I can't do it." Gan Ning is very familiar with it: "The alley there is too narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the reason why Li Shiqun and Wu Sibao chose their home there is the terrain they like." At the entrance of the alley on both sides, there are people standing guard there, and if there is any movement, there will be an alarm immediately. After Li Shiqun moved in, the security force there was greatly enhanced.

As for where they lived, and how many bodyguards there were, we have no way of knowing. I once tried it, Wu Sibao likes to eat the dishes of the Spring Building, and often calls him to eat at home, I sent a man who pretends to be full of the Spring Building, but when he calls for food, he will not be allowed to enter the alley. The lunch box will be carefully checked, and the food will only be allowed to be eaten by Wu Sibao after being specially tasted and confirmed to be non-toxic. Wu Sibao took great pains for his own safety. ”

Wu Sibao is still like this, and after Li Shiqun moved in, in terms of his suspicion, it was even worse.

"We also tried to buy the people around Wu Sibao." Wu Jingyi said: "Wu Sibao, although he is ruthless, he is good at his subordinates and is very willing to spend money, so the people responsible for protecting him are all desperate. It took a lot of effort to buy a peripheral member who had once entered Wu Sibao's house, and according to his description, there were two machine guns as far as the eye could see, and there was even a box of grenades in the yard! ”

Armed to the teeth.

It is not easy to complete a successful assassination, on the contrary, it is difficult.

For example, Yamamoto Chokei, who was assassinated.

On 28 January this year, coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the 28 January War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the anti-Japanese underground organizations lurking in the concession launched a number of bomb attacks against Japanese nationals and pro-Japanese organizations on 27 and 28 January.

Zhou Weilong, the head of the Shanghai District of the Military Command at that time, and Cheng Yiming, the secretary of the military command, also sent agents to participate in it.

On the same day, there were a number of bomb incidents in the Shanghai and Shanghai concessions. The residence of Okamoto, the consul general of Japan, the manager of the Nippon Yusen Shipping Company, Yamamoto, and the branch of the "Avenue City Hall" on Jiaozhou Road were attacked, but no one was injured.

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

Afterwards, judging from the attack methods, all of them were surprise attacks by throwing explosives, and grenades, which were easy to carry disposable weapons, 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 the lethality of these local equipment should not be too great.

Judging from the pure record performance, this series of attacks can be said to be miserable. Except for two Chinese who were wounded, not a single Japanese military and political personnel or expatriates were injured, and there was basically zero success.

Analyzing the crux of this inefficient attack, the simple and crude method of attack is an important reason. The anti-Japanese elements usually took trolleybuses on the way past the target of the attack, and immediately retreated after a surprise attack.

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

The real situation is just that the grenade exploded in front of the door of the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, Okamoto Jizheng, and the people in the house were unharmed, and it was not bad if it didn't hit passers-by.

Judging from the price paid, it is not insignificant, the public concession arrested 13 suspects in one go that night, although these people are not necessarily all participants in the bombing, but judging from the explosives and guns seized, they should all be members of the underground anti-Japanese organization.

It can be seen that when such an attack is carried out in the concession, it is very difficult for the underground anti-Japanese elements to have time to transfer.

It's not so simple and convenient to kill a person in the concession!
