Chapter 34: It Came Done
It is still comfortable to sleep at home, Lu Yuan, who has slept beautifully, reluctantly got up from the quilt and sat up, looking out the window, it seems that it has already passed breakfast time. Hans helped find the cook who didn't want Aunt Fu to worry about everything, and saw that Lu Yuan had already gotten up and washed, so she went to prepare breakfast for Lu Yuan. The newly hired cooks and guards at home didn't want to do much, which was exactly what Lu Yuan thought, but Xu Huanshan, who came to find Lu Yuan early in the morning, sat alone in the living room for a while.
"You can sleep here, I've been here for almost an hour, and your cook said you were sleeping, and she wouldn't let me go upstairs to wake you up." Seeing Lu Yuan coming down the stairs, Xu Huanshan, who was lying in the sofa and doing nothing, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "We said last night that we were going to check on the house early this morning, and I said have you forgotten about it? If I had known that was the case, I shouldn't have come to you so early. ”
As soon as Xu Huanshan said this, Lu Yuan, who had just gone downstairs, was stunned, for no other reason, he really forgot about it. "Don't worry, it's still early, even if we can determine the situation in that house, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it until after dark. You don't want to do it in broad daylight, do you? This is a concession, you can't treat the concession patrol house as an ornament? Lu Yuan, who reacted quickly, found an excuse for his lazy sleep, but Xu Huanshan had no choice but to ignore it silently.
After being urged by Xu Huanshan to have breakfast, Lu Yuan was dragged out by the impatient Xu Huanshan, and according to what the two agreed last night, they would go to explore the building discovered by the underground party. "Don't stop first, drive straight over, don't slow down, don't let others see the flaws." Xu Huanshan was originally going to park the car at the entrance of the alley, as long as he walked through the alley, he could see the building, but he didn't want to be stopped by Lu Yuan, who was sitting in the back seat of the car.
Lu Yuan couldn't tell Xu Huanshan the truth now, because in the full-view map he opened, there were at least four or five Japanese puppet spies hidden in this alley. Lu Yuan insisted that he couldn't stop, Xu Huanshan had to continue to drive forward, and after driving around here, Lu Yuan's face became more and more ugly. In this area, Lu Yuan found at least 30 Japanese pseudo-spies disguised as ordinary people through the full-view map.
Something is wrong, Lu Yuan secretly pondered in his heart, through his full-view map, Lu Yuan had been able to confirm that the foreigners who were captured were in the building that the Shanghai underground party said. But why, in the surrounding area of this building, are so many Japanese puppet spies hidden? Could it be that these kidnappings are really related to the Japanese? Lu Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, if this matter was really related to the Japanese, they were doing this, could it be that they were setting a trap waiting for someone to appear? Doubts flashed in Lu Yuan's heart, but he didn't know that the Japanese target was himself, and even if he knew, Lu Yuan might just laugh at it.
"Don't look at it, there are Japanese puppets everywhere here." Seeing that Xu Huanshan didn't seem to believe his words, Lu Yuanbian stretched out his hand and pointed to the cigarette stall at the corner of the street and smiled. "Lao Xu, I was told that I didn't remind you, look at the cigarette stall at the corner of the street. Whose cigarette dealer only cares about looking around, but ignores the customers who come to the door? If you look at the shoes he was wearing, look closely, they were a pair of handmade leather shoes. I don't want to spend money on leather shoes like that, how can a cigarette dealer be willing to spend that kind of money? ”
Xu Huanshan looked in the direction of Lu Yuan's finger, and sure enough, he found a flaw in the cigarette dealer's body, and the pair of leather shoes on his feet were not cheap. "Lao Xu, if you look at the guy with a hat across the street, don't you think the suit on his body is too fat? I've heard that people with number 76 like to hide their pistols under their armpits, and if they wear tight clothes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pull out their guns. Lu Yuan changed his words and pointed at the man in the top hat across the street.
"So what do we do? Is it possible to wait until it gets dark? What he saw in front of him was something Xu Huanshan never expected, but he was also unwilling to wait until it was dark to act.
"You are stupid, it is not us Chinese who were taken away by them, and you are in a hurry to explain the urgency?" Lu Yuan glared at Xu Huanshan angrily, and said in his heart that this product is also idle. "You see, it's the foreigners who are in a hurry now, and don't forget, all we promised Anderson was to determine the location of the kidnapper, and I didn't say we had to rescue people. This is the concession, and if there is something in the concession, it is natural to find a foreigner to come forward, and I think now is the time to meet Anderson, and as for what to do next, it is not something we need to worry about. ”
Lu Yuan's words can be regarded as a word to wake up the person in the dream, and the stone pressed on Xu Huanshan's heart fell to the ground instantly, that's right, this is the concession, since it has been determined where the person is locked up, then next, it is time for the Americans to come forward. Xu Huanshan, who was relaxed, drove to Hans's bar at Lu Yuan's signal, and Lu Yuanque was still secretly entangled in the Japanese pseudo-spies he had just discovered, and he always felt that there was something strange in this that he didn't know.
"God, it's great, since they're locked up in the concession, it's much easier." It was similar to what Lu Yuan expected in advance, and when he learned that Lu Yuan and the others had determined where the person was being held, Anderson, who hurried to the bar, immediately became happy. After getting the specific address from Xu Huanshan, Anderson left immediately, but before leaving, Anderson gave Lu Yuan an address, and Hans said that the address was in a warehouse area.
More than an hour later, Anderson called, and after Hans heard the call, he turned around to look at Lu Yuan and the two with strange expressions. "You judged correctly, the people behind the decades of going back are the Japanese, and Anderson not only found those who were kidnapped at the scene, but also arrested two Japanese plainclothes gendarmes belonging to No. 76 and more than a dozen gangsters. My accountant was on his way back, but I listened to Anderson that the U.S. consulate had already sent someone to the Japanese headquarters. ”
From Hans's words, Lu Yuan judged that Anderson's side must be confused now, because no one knew why the Japanese wanted to do these things, and they deliberately hid those kidnapped foreigners in the concession. Lu Yuan's guess was right, Anderson was confused now, he asked those subordinates who were kidnapped by the Japanese, and after learning that they were controlled by the Japanese, they were not interrogated or coerced, Anderson was even more puzzled.
Anderson was confused at the moment, as were Shinichi Ono and Tanji Kubota, who were doing this, and their real purpose was just to force out that special squad of Americans. It's just that they never expected that after they set a trap, what appeared was not an American special squad at all, but a large number of concession patrols and American Marine Corps soldiers. "Shouldn't it be like this? Why is this so? At first, Ono wondered if he had made a special team of Americans hiding in Shanghai. What about the kind of weapons that use large-caliber bullets?
The kidnapping case, which caused turmoil in the entire Shanghai Concession, was quickly decided, and it is not known how the Americans negotiated with the Japanese army, and then there was no trace of Japanese involvement in the case, and all the charges had been pushed to the head of a concession gangster. The dust finally settled, and when Anderson came to Hans's bar again, there was already a blonde foreign man by his side, and Lu Yuan didn't have to guess to know that this should be the Paul who was captured by the Japanese.
"Lu, have you been to the address I gave you last time?" The place where the few people met was Hans's office, and after Hans deliberately left, Anderson, who looked much better, mentioned the address of the warehouse. The warehouse that Anderson said was naturally where Lu Yuan had been, and the munitions in the warehouse had already been transported out of Shanghai by Lu Yuan through Hans's channel, so I am afraid that it would be almost to the Tianjin wharf.
After Lu Yuan nodded, Anderson continued, "Lu, you said last time that you wanted to be an arms dealer, but you still need a lot of capital to do the arms business. But I have a good proposal, and this cooperation has inspired me a lot, you locals have the convenience and advantages of identity, and I think we may be able to form a cooperative relationship between us. There was obviously a sharp edge hidden in Anderson's words, but Lu Yuan pretended to be confused, and Anderson had to make his words clear.
"Lu, I know that you have your own channels and networks, and we need such channels and relationships, so I wondered if we could be connected in the form of cooperation. I can provide you with arms at the lowest price, and you will use your channels and connections to help me in my time of need. As Anderson spoke, Paul had been secretly observing Lu Yuan's reaction and expression, trying to understand why his superiors were so interested in such a young man.
"Dr. Anderson, it's better for us to be like this, don't talk about cooperation or anything like that, and turn cooperation into employment first. You hired us with arms, and we can help you in any trouble that you can't solve on your own, but afterwards you have to pay us a certain amount of arms. Lu Yuan didn't care about Paul's observation of himself at all, but the old god freely put forward his own suggestions.
Anderson pondered for arms in exchange for help, and it seemed that this proposal was a good deal, and even if things went wrong, it would not implicate the United States. "Well, you can give it a try." At Anderson's signal, Paul took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lu Yuan. "This incident is a serious provocation by the Japanese against the United States, and I want your help to get the necessary punishment for the people on this list."
