Chapter 31: The Doctor Arrives
After sending away Hans, who came to the door for help, Lu Yuan immediately called Xu Huanshan, and explained the matter in general on the phone, and Xu Huanshan immediately promised to use the inside line in the Japanese concession to investigate the matter. "Mr. Lu, I think this matter is by no means as simple as you think." Yao Ansheng, who had moved to Lu Yuan's residence to recuperate from his injuries, raised his own objections, as a strictly trained military commander, after listening to Lu Yuan's story, Yao Ansheng, as a bystander, already had a general understanding.
"Mr. Lu, I don't know what you think, but according to my analysis, this matter is definitely not the work of the gang forces." If your attitude is unusually certain, when Lu Yuan looked at him, Yao Ansheng deliberately paused his voice, and seeing that Lu Yuan didn't mean to interrupt him, Yao Ansheng continued to speak. "The gangs in Shanghai are different from other places, and although the gangs here in Shanghai are all evil, they want Shanghai to continue to prosper. Because only when Shanghai prospers can these gang forces begging for a living in Shanghai survive forever and be profitable. ”
Yao Ansheng's words made Lu Yuan nod and said, "You mean that if Shanghai falls, it will be difficult for those gang forces to survive, so such a large-scale kidnapping case will definitely not be committed by the gang forces?" After saying this, Lu Yuanyou set his eyes on Yao Ansheng, and he was waiting for Yao Ansheng to give specific answers and suggestions.
"That's right, that's what I meant, besides, as you just said, almost all of the kidnappers this time are foreigners who came to Shanghai. As far as I know, the gangs in Shanghai have always had very little to do with foreigners, and this does not include the Japanese, of course. Yao Ansheng explained to Lu Yuan with a smile, "I can't think of what the purpose of the kidnappers is for kidnapping so many foreigners, but in my opinion, there must be some reason for this, maybe kidnapping so many people is just to cover up the real intentions of the kidnappers." ”
Yao Ansheng's words woke up Lu Yuan in an instant, and Lu Yuan immediately glanced at Yao Ansheng, and said in his heart that this thing cannot be regarded as a qualified military intelligence officer, but as an analysis expert, he is competent enough, how could the military commander send such a person to act as an incubator. In fact, the reason why Yao Ansheng is a bystander is only because Yao Ansheng looks at the problem from a different angle, Lu Yuan is just entangled in the identity of the kidnapper, and Yao Ansheng focuses on the intention of the kidnapper.
Lu Yuan immediately called Hans, and an hour later, Cruze personally delivered a list and corresponding identification information. "Look, you're right, the reason why so many people are kidnapped, the kidnappers are just trying to cover up their real intentions." After leaving some marks in pencil on the materials sent by Cruz, Lu Yuan handed the materials to Yao Ansheng. The latter took the information and found that all the names of Americans on the list had been marked by Lu Yuan with a pencil.
More than two-thirds of the 16 people on this list are Americans, and all of them have secret identities with U.S. intelligence agencies. As for the people from other countries on the list, they are simply ordinary people, including Mr. Hans's accounting, which should be used by the kidnappers to confuse the public. When Yao Ansheng looked down at the information, Lu Yuan took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked it, and Lu Yuan, who already had a plan in his heart, finished smoking a cigarette and immediately called Xu Huanshan again.
"But that doesn't make sense?" The voice of Lu Yuan and Xu Huanshan is not small, it is impossible for Yao Ansheng not to hear it, and Yao Ansheng is puzzled by Lu Yuan's decision that it was the hand of the Japanese. "Japan has always relied on scrap steel imported from the United States to support their military production, and the Japanese army in Shanghai has also been tolerant of the Americans. Does that make sense? ”
"Who knows what the Japanese are crazy about? In my opinion, the Japanese are probably the hardest creatures in the world to understand. Lu Yuan put down the phone with disdain on his face, whether in this era or in the future generations, Lu Yuan has no good impression of the Japanese. After continuing to greet Yao Ansheng for a while, Lu Yuan immediately left alone, and he was going to meet with Xu Huanshan to discuss the matter.
"Lao Xu, I think this is a good opportunity. The United States is a big industrial country, and although the combat effectiveness of the US military is not very good, their weapons and equipment are excellent, and if they can catch up with the Americans this time, perhaps the chairman of the committee will be able to share a part of the Eighth Route Army with the military aid he got from the Americans. After meeting with Xu Huanshan, Lu Yuan instilled in Xu Huanshan the concept of interest first, and Xu Huanshan also felt that it was not cost-effective to do things that were not beneficial.
After Lu Yuan called Hans, Lu Yuan and the two drove aimlessly around the concession for a while, and after confirming that no one was following behind them, Lu Yuan took Xu Huanshan to Hans's bar. Xu Huanshan thought that Lu Yuan had made an appointment to meet Hans here, but it was only after he followed Lu Yuan into Hans's office that he found that there was a middle-aged foreign man in a neat suit sitting next to Hans.
Xu Huanshan subconsciously glanced at Lu Yuan, but seeing that Lu Yuan's expression did not change in the slightest, he knew in his heart that this was what Lu Yuan had known before. "Lu, let me introduce you to a friend of mine, Dr. Anderson from the United States." Hans got up and stood up, and very enthusiastically introduced the middle-aged Americans around him to Lu Yuan and Xu Huanshan, but when Anderson couldn't see it, Hans used a wordless mouth shape and eyes to give a hint to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan, who was secretly smiling in his heart, stretched out his hand to shake this Dr. Anderson, and when his finger touched the belly of the other party's fingers, Lu Yuan also rubbed it intentionally, and the calluses on the belly of the other party's index finger made Lu Yuan almost laugh. But any veteran, the right index finger and the tiger's mouth will have traces left by long-term contact with the trigger and grip, this Dr. Anderson is strong and calm, and at first glance it is not as simple as a simple intellectual, not to mention that there are still calluses on the opponent's right index finger.
There were also traces on Lu Yuan's right index finger and the tiger's mouth, but as long as Lu Yuan was idle, he would soak his hands in vinegar, and then use a small stinger to remove the calluses on his hands, although this Dr. Anderson also probed Lu Yuan's hand just now, but unfortunately he didn't see anything unusual. Xu Huanshan didn't know what had happened just now, but the scheming Hans had already seen something strange from Anderson's expression, and while secretly giving Lu Yuan a thumbs up in his heart, Hans had not forgotten why Anderson came.
"Lu, as I just said, Dr. Anderson Neng is a good friend of mine. One of Anderson's nephews was originally doing business in the concession, but two days ago, Anderson's nephew disappeared for no apparent reason. The Concession Patrol House is too slow to explore, so I thought you could help Anderson find his nephew. In front of Anderson, Hans deliberately put on a look that I know you have a way, and took out two gold bars from the drawer of the table and placed them in front of Lu Yuan and Xu Huanshan.
"Lu, Dr. Anderson is not a stingy person, as long as you can find out where his nephew was being piped, the rest of the matter won't bother you. These two gold bars are just deposits, and Dr. Anderson will give you two gold bars as a reward as soon as you find a place. As soon as Lu Yuan heard Hans's words, he immediately reached out and took the gold bar on the table and grinned.
"Dr. Anderson, Mr. Hans is right, we have some channels in Shanghai that can help you find someone. It's just one thing, we're not stupid, and I want you to tell the truth, because we don't want to be fools or cannon fodder to be pushed out to get attention. Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and slowly pushed the gold bar in his hand back to Anderson. It's not as simple as Mr. Hans just said, because the Green Gang is also looking at it, but they care about who is asking about those who have been kidnapped, do you know what I mean? ”
Hans naturally knew what Lu Yuan meant by these words, because what Lu Yuan said just now had been discussed by Hans and Lu Yuan on the phone. Hans only smoked but didn't speak, and Dr. Anderson, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Lu, I'm just a medical doctor, and I don't understand what you just said. Since you don't have a better way, then I have to go to the U.S. Embassy to put pressure on the Concession Patrol House. ”
Dr. Anderson spoke, but his butt did not move, Lu Yuan secretly laughed in his heart, and then the old god comfortably lit a cigarette and smoked it very comfortably. Hans didn't speak, Lu Yuan only cared about smoking, Xu Huanshan was already confused, and he wouldn't take the initiative to open his mouth to speak, Dr. Anderson waited for a while, so he had to cough a few times and find a step down by himself, and then re-started the topic just now.
"Well, Lu, I don't know anything about the situation in Shanghai, and if I just said the wrong thing, then I beg your pardon. Hans said you have a good way, so, I hope you can help me find Paul, after all, he is my sister's only child. When Dr. Anderson said these words, tears could already be seen in his eyes. While Xu Huanshan, who saw this scene, secretly smacked his tongue, Lu Yuan secretly despised it in his heart, he was despising Anderson's clumsy performance.
"Dr. Anderson, I'm still the same question I just asked, I need to know your true identity, because I don't believe that a medical doctor can have a nephew who specializes in intelligence agents." Lu Yuan's words were like a thunderbolt slamming on Anderson's head, but he didn't expect that Anderson, who Lu Yuan already knew Paul's identity, was dumbfounded, and the Dare to Love family was not a rat-like gang member at all, but a beast that knew everything.
