Chapter 33: Reactive
"Okay, it's time for me to play, Lao Xu, let's start according to what we have discussed." Walking out of Hans's bar with a relaxed face, Lu Yuan, who was standing on the side of the street waiting for the car, laughed heartily at Xu Huanshan, and Xu Huanshan had not recovered from the ecstasy yet, and he didn't know what Lu Yuan said to him. Xu Huanshan's people had already found out that these kidnapping cases were inseparable from No. 76, but the inside line in No. 76 had not found out where the kidnapped person was held, so Lu Yuan was ready to personally enter the Japanese concession to visit.
After Lu Yuan caused a riot in Hongkou District, the Japanese army strengthened its precautions against the control area, and now to enter and leave the Japanese-controlled area, it is necessary not only to have a certificate issued by the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai, but also to have the guarantee of at least three or more Japanese nationals in the Japanese concession. Although this precautionary measure of the Japanese army caused unnecessary trouble to the merchants in the Japanese concession, in the face of death threats, the Japanese expatriates did not blame the military too much.
Because of the strict precautions of the Japanese army, Lu Yuan had no way to enter the concession through normal channels, but the gang of smugglers he met when he evacuated Hongkou District last time gave Lu Yuan a lot of inspiration, so he decided to row a boat across the Suzhou Creek and sneak into the Japanese-controlled area. "No, this is absolutely not good, the sky you tossed in Hongkou District last time is about to fall, the Japanese army must have taken precautions, you go to Hongkou District now, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth." Xu Huanshan tried his best to stop Lu Yuan, especially when Lu Yuan chose to sneak into the Hongkou District at night.
Xu Huanshan thought about Lu Yuan's safety, Lu Yuan couldn't help but let this happen, not to mention that Lu Yuan also needed to have people to help row. "Lao Xu, you don't know my skills. Besides, I just went to investigate the situation this time, and I went back at night and back at night, just for one day, and I didn't wait for the Japanese army to know about it, and I had already returned safely, so there was nothing to worry about. Although Xu Huanshan tried his best to dissuade him, Lu Yuan was not a person who was easy to change his decision, and after the two choked a few words, Xu Huanshan, who was pondering, had to deliberately make Lu Yuan's decision.
The dark sky is like a layer of ink, and the quietly flowing Suzhou Creek is also like falling asleep. "Whoa, whoa!" The sound of water suddenly broke the silence of Suzhou Creek, and a small boat suddenly rowed out of the darkness and appeared on the river, and quickly sailed to the opposite bank. As soon as the boat landed, Lu Yuan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, jumped up, quickly climbed up the embankment to observe the surroundings, turned around and waved to the people on the boat, and then crossed the embankment and disappeared into the night.
The person holding the oars in the boat was sent by Xu Huanshan, and for the sake of prudence, Lu Yuan only agreed to Xu Huanshan to send one person. Seeing that Lu Yuan had disappeared into the night, the boat immediately turned around and returned to the other side of the river, and 24 hours later, at this time tomorrow, the boat would still appear here waiting to pick up Lu Yuan's departure. After leaving the embankment and blending into the residential area, Lu Yuan immediately opened his full-view map, and while walking quickly through the streets and alleys, Lu Yuan also paid close attention to the situation displayed on the full-view map.
New Asia Hotel was the key target of Lu Yuan's trip, but to Lu Yuan's expectations, he carefully scanned the entire hotel with a full-view map, but he didn't find anything unusual about New Asia Hotel. "That's a strange thing, could it be that I guessed wrong?" Lu Yuan hid in the back alley of the New Asia Hotel, and while he was disappointed in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly recall the information sent by Hans. After a short while, Lu Yuan left the street where the New Asia Hotel was located and began to scan the entire Hongkou District with a full-view map.
It seems that the Japanese army is really afraid of the elusive Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan has only scanned half of the Hongkou District, and he has already encountered several groups of Japanese patrols. Time passed little by little in Lu Yuan's rapid movement and scanning search, but Lu Yuan still failed to find the anomaly, and in the Hongkou District, which was full of Japanese people, Lu Yuan's full-view map was almost full of red dots. To be honest, it is indeed not easy to find out the abnormal place in such a situation, but Lu Yuan can't choose to retreat, it should be that he will only have a chance to leave after dark tomorrow.
Avoiding an oncoming group of patrols again, Lu Yuan, who was hiding in the alley on the side of the street, flashed out quickly, and on the full-view map, Lu Yuan finally found something different. After crossing the street in front of him and going straight out for a distance of about 100 meters, a building appeared in Lu Yuan's sight, the four-story building was not the tallest building in Lu Yuan's sight, but the location of this mainland building was excellent, and it was not far from the next street entrance.
Lu Yuan noticed this, not because of the location of the building, but because Lu Yuan found in the full-view map that there were many red dots in the building that were moving. In the place that Lu Yuan scanned before, there was no gathering of a large number of Japanese, only the building in front of him was an outsider, and the red dots in the building were all moving, what was this abnormal? In a cautious manner, Lu Yuan scanned the area around the building again, and after making sure that there was no abnormality around the building, Lu Yuan turned around and burrowed into the narrow alley behind the building.
It was dark in the alley, and Lu Yuan looked up at the windows in the building that were still lit, and then stepped on the low wall in the alley and climbed up. Lu Yuan is not Spider-Man, he can't climb to the top of the building directly against the wall, he can only climb to the second floor of the building by stepping on the low wall. Slowly poking his head out, Lu Yuan looked in from the window, perhaps because of Lu Yuan's luck, there was no one in this room with the lights on, but the door of the room was wide open.
Lu Yuan immediately climbed the lower edge of the window sill with one hand, took out a short knife with his right hand and slowly inserted the blade along the gap in the window, the bolt under the window was slowly picked up by Lu Yuan's blade, and a few seconds later, the window that had been picked up was silently pushed open by Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan, who was ready to fly, had no way back, so he immediately reached out and grabbed the window frame and jumped into the room, as soon as his feet landed, Lu Yuan quickly rolled forward, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan was already standing sideways on the back of the door. After quickly adjusting his breathing, Lu Yuan continuously took out the skull armor and combat vest from the storage space, and after putting them on, Lu Yuan took out the assault rifle and attached it to the gun belt on his chest.
Slowly screwing the * onto the barrel, Lu Yuan took out another pistol and inserted it diagonally into the quick-draw holster on his chest, and after making all the preparations, Lu Yuan slowly poked his head out of the door. Just like what Lu Yuan searched for in the full-view map, there was no one in the corridor outside the door, but there was a sound coming from the room diagonally opposite, and the sound was not small. Lu Yuan, who was holding a gun in both hands, walked out of the room with small steps, and listened to the door diagonally opposite for a while, and Lu Yuan, who frowned slightly, immediately gave up probing and continued to move towards this room.
After checking several rooms in a row, he didn't find the answer he wanted, and Lu Yuan, who had moved all the way to the 3rd floor, couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and he once again doubted his judgment. Facts have proved that Lu Yuan's suspicion is not wrong, Lu Yuanzai carefully searched the building, but failed to find the answer he wanted. When Lu Yuan, who didn't want to give up, returned the same way from the top floor, he searched many rooms in the building again, and finally had to return in vain.
Leaving the building, Lu Yuan carefully searched other sensitive areas in Hongkou District, and it was not until the sky was white that Lu Yuan finally stopped. Lu Yuan, who hadn't slept all night, casually broke into a house, and after knocking out the family, Lu Yuan slept well first. When Lu Yuan woke up again, it was already close to noon, and he casually turned over some food to fill in his stomach, and Lu Yuan began to think about his lack in last night's operation.
Thinking carefully about all his actions last night, he didn't seem to find anything missing, and Lu Yuan, who was a little mentally embarrassed, immediately arranged it in the house*, and then walked out of the street to blend in with the flow of people. Time passed quickly in Lu Yuan's seemingly unintentional wandering, and Lu Yuan spent an entire afternoon searching the entire Hongkou District, but still found nothing. It wasn't until dinner time came that Lu Yuan remembered that he hadn't called Xu Huanshan yet, and Xu Huanshan, who had been waiting anxiously for almost a whole day, finally received a call from Lu Yuan from Hongkou District, and a hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
"What? Are you saying there's already progress on your side? Damn, this is a trick with us to play a trick of blacking out the lights. Lu Yuan was secretly glad that he took the initiative to call Xu Huanshan, otherwise he might still be headless like a fly, wandering around in the Japanese concession. Xu Huanshan made it clear on the phone that the members of the underground party in Shanghai had already found out some information in the public concession through the channels of the concession gangs.
According to the report of Xu Huanshan's operational team members, they have preliminarily determined the identities of those kidnappers and the location of the kidnappers, what Lu Yuan didn't expect was that it was the Japanese who led these kidnapping cases, but those kidnapped people were all hiding in the public concession at the moment. Lu Yuan, who hung up the phone, almost couldn't hold back his shouting on the street, forcibly holding back the ecstasy in his heart, and Lu Yuan couldn't help but scold the Japanese for being cunning in his heart.
Just think about it, it seems that the Japanese are not to blame for all this, since Hans handed over the information to him, he has already assumed that the kidnapped people were imprisoned by the Japanese or hidden in the area controlled by the Japanese army, and he did not think that the Japanese had played a trick with him. In addition to being happy in his heart, Lu Yuan gave up and continued to wander, seeing that the time was still gone, he found a restaurant and walked in, he planned to have a good meal before leaving. As for other things, let's wait until I return to the concession, maybe Xu Huanshan already has new information there.
