Chapter 879: Bizarre Kidnapping
Meng Shaoyuan didn't expect that he actually had an unexpected gain.
Originally, he just wanted to kill Ji Quanrong and teach Ji Yunqing a lesson, but by mistake, he actually got rid of Yamamoto Changqing.
After the Battle of Songhu, the military commanders listed several key assassination targets against Japan, and Yamamoto Nagakei was impressively listed.
However, when it came time to actually carry out the operation, great difficulties were encountered.
The several execution teams sent by the military commander couldn't even get in touch with Yamamoto Nagakei from a distance.
Now, it's actually successful?
Happiness came so suddenly?
Meng Shaoyuan found that his luck was really good.
"District Chief Meng, Hawes wants to see you outside."
Hawes?
This guy doesn't want to help himself improve the holiday yuan and military tickets, what are you doing here?
Hawes has printed a large number of holiday dollars and military stamps, and put them on the market in large quantities.
At Meng Shaoyuan's suggestion, the new printing was temporarily stopped and further improved instead.
The market can't be overfed, too full and it will backfire.
"Ask him to come in."
Hoyce didn't come alone, he also brought a woman in her fifties with him.
As soon as he saw this woman, Meng Shaoyuan immediately stood up, his face full of respect:
"Ms. Kayla, I didn't expect to see you here."
During the Battle of Songhu, Ms. Kayla did her best to treat the wounded Chinese soldiers.
She has another identity:
Members of the Knights Hospitaller!
On her chest, she still wears a white cross and eight pointed knight insignia on both sides.
After the Battle of Songhu, Ms. Kayla remained in Shanghai and worked as a medical nurse without any pay.
She's really helping the country.
"Hello, Mr. Meng." Ms. Kayla looked a little anxious: "I have come to ask for your help, in Shanghai, I don't know who can help me, I found Mr. Hawes, and Mr. Hawes told me that in the whole of Shanghai, you are the only one who can help me." ”
There is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
In addition to being a counterfeit banknote printer, Hawes is also the president of the "Leonart Charity Relief Organization" and the head of the Shanghai Hospitallers.
Of course, he has another secret identity:
Founder of the "Shanghai Public Mutual Aid Association" organized by Meng Shaoyuan.
"Don't rush, Miss Kayla, please sit down and have a glass of water, and tell me slowly what is going on." Meng Shaoyuan relieved her.
"That's right, Meng." Hawes helped her out: "Ms. Kayla has been working in Shanghai for a long time, and her children miss her very much, so she recently came to Shanghai to reunite with her mother, but he disappeared not long after he arrived in Shanghai. ”
"What, missing?" Meng Shaoyuan was stunned.
"Yes." Hawes nodded: "There are witnesses who say that several unknown people kidnapped two foreigners in Jing'an Temple, and I guess they should be Ms. Kayla's son, as well as his fiancée." ”
The public concession blatantly kidnapped two foreigners?
And is it in such a lively place as Jing'an Temple?
It has been rare in recent years.
"It's my fault." Lady Kayla wept: "I should have gone to pick them up, but that day a patient came in a critical condition, I thought, my children got off the ship and could not see me, knew where to look for me, they were all adults, there was no need to worry too much, and the patient's condition was more urgent, nothing was more important than life." ”
"Do you have pictures of children?" Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly asked.
"Absolutely."
Ms. Kayla pulled a picture out of her pocket: "Look, this is my child Edward, and his fiancée Cynthia. ”
The young man was handsome, and his fiancée was beautiful.
Meng Shaoyuan was a little puzzled.
Who did this to you?
What do you do by kidnapping two foreigners?
Extortion?
Except for blackmail, Meng Shao couldn't think of any other reason.
"Did you call the police?"
"The police have been called, and the Ministry of Industry and the Police Department are very serious." "But you also know that it's too difficult to find people by relying on the power of the patrol house. ”
Oh, yes.
Since Huang Jinrong retired and Du Yuesheng avoided Hong Kong, the two major forces that were originally used to maintain the public concession disappeared at once.
Coupled with the fact that the Public Concession is now in such chaos, it is not easy to find the two kidnapped people.
"Kayla has a reputation for kindness in the Order, she has saved countless people, but now his child has been kidnapped." Hawes's voice sounded a little frustrated:
"Meng, I can't do anything, you must help us."
Meng Shaoyuan knew too well.
The Knights Hospitaller, while having a huge influence in Europe and the United States, may not be the same in other places, especially in China.
The Chinese won't pay attention to your Zentang or the Knights Hospitaller.
The vast majority of people have never even heard of this name.
Meng Shaoyuan is the last hope for Hawes and Ms. Kayla.
Meng Shaoyuan muttered there: "Have you received a blackmail call or letter?" ”
"No, it's been two days, and there has been no news."
"It took two days of kidnapping for you to come to me?"
"Kayla just found me, and she originally hoped that the Ministry of Industry would help her." Hawes explained: "But for two whole days there was no progress. ”
It's naïve.
In two days, the important clues were almost eliminated.
Meng Shaoyuan was most worried about:
Edward and Cynthia are not still alive.
What about the purpose?
Meng Shaoyuan's most nerve-wracking thing is the purpose of the kidnappers.
It's okay to talk about blackmail calls or letters.
"Leave it to me, Ms. Kayla. This photo is here for me for the time being. ”
Meng Shaoyuan took a closer look at the photos again: "I will do everything in my power to find them." ”
"May God bless you and bless my children."
"I'm going to break down, and if I lose my baby, I don't know how I'm going to live," Ms. Kayla muttered. ”
"Listen to me, Ms. Kayla." Meng Shaoyuan stared at this kind woman: "You have done many things for this city and many things for China, I will not allow your children to disappear for no reason." Live to see people......"
He didn't say a word.
It's so unlucky.
"Thank you, thank you."
Ms. Kayla said with tears in her eyes.
Hawes suddenly asked in stiff Chinese: "What if the worst happens?" ”
He knew Kayla didn't understand Chinese.
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly smiled coldly: "If a scene that none of us want to see appears, I will ask the murderer to give Ms. Kayla an explanation." ”
"God, bless the poor boys."
Hoyce drew a cross: "Don't be tragic, Meng, it's up to you." ”
Where do I start?
Who did this to you?
Why?
Meng Shaoyuan felt that he had taken on a very difficult case.
A bizarre kidnapping case!
