Chapter 365: The Beautiful Patient (Part II)

In the blink of an eye, An Feng suddenly felt sad and ridiculous again - it turned out that Miss Upton was just a pawn, and the kidnapping organization actually didn't care if Miss Upton was exposed, and didn't care whether An Feng knew that Miss Upton was the kidnapper's assistant.

What they care about now is to use Miss Upton to lure An Feng into submission, and contribute all the secrets he knows, as well as his computer technology, to serve the kidnapping organization.

That's why they don't care about An Feng's ransom, so they don't care if Upton is exposed, if An Feng is willing to serve the kidnapping organization, then Miss Upton will be a gift from them.

Thinking of An Feng's deliberate temptation before, Miss Upton's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom when she talked about the kidnapper, and An Feng suddenly understood: It seems that Miss Upton had indeed encountered a kidnapping, and then she was brainwashed by the handsome kidnapper, began to have secret dealings with the kidnappers, and occasionally gave the kidnappers a few valuable targets.

It seems that Ryan chose this Miss Upton for a reason. Miss Upton came to the Alang Estuary to shoot a photo album, not just a catwalk mission, choosing a scenic spot so close to Iran as the filming location, Miss Upton planned to have a private meeting with the handsome kidnapper after the shooting, and An Feng's sudden action interfered with the meeting, so he naturally became a meat ticket.

The place where the plane finally landed was the island of Cyprus.

The island of Cyprus was fiercely contested during the Crusades, and when half of the island belonged to Turkey and half to the West, both sides were unable to survive, so the island was divided into two halves, the other half belonging to Turkey, the other half initially belonging to the United Kingdom, and then becoming independent and joining the United Nations as a member of the Commonwealth.

The chosen place for the aircraft to land was of course the part of Cyprus to which Turkey belonged, but this part was also independent and was called Cyprus Turkey. Listen to the name to know that it is Arabic, with a strong Arab invader style.

As the focus of the world war before the industrial revolution, the most lacking thing on the coast of Cyprus is a variety of ancient castles, An Feng's plane took off at night, and landed near a seaside castle before dawn, Abdullah signaled An Feng to get off the plane after the plane stopped, An Feng glanced at the simple cabin of the plane that could only take eight people before getting off the plane, he stumbled slightly when he walked, and in the lightning time, there was already a tracker taken out of the time gate in his palm, With a flick of the thumb, the tracker glued to the cockpit wall of the aircraft and began to activate.

An Feng ejected a long-term tracker, the signal emitted by this tracker has a relatively long interval, which can last for about half a year, and within half a year, all the movements of this aircraft will be recorded, and Ruien has enough time to approach this plane and do tricks on the plane.

The coast of Cyprus is beautiful, and countless songs from both the East and the West celebrate this mournful beauty. The ancient castle standing on the edge of the cliff was as beautiful as the moon goddess, and An Feng, who stepped off the plane, did not have Abdullah's black umbrella on his head at the moment, Abdullah seemed to have established a little trust in An Feng, he walked behind An Feng with his hands behind his back, and let An Feng sway near him.

Of course, An Feng's acting skills are absolutely qualified, although he walked in front of Abdullah, it seemed that Abdullah looked relieved, but he walked very carefully, whenever Abdullah stopped, he always retracted his front feet with fear, and then looked at Abdullah timidly, and silently measured the distance between the two - Abdullah was very satisfied with An Feng's cautious attitude.

The shape of the castle is typical of the Arabian style, the main building has a round dome, several towers are also round, the four corners of the tower are lit with torches, the torches are swaying, the whole building is a bit ghostly.

It was early in the morning, but it was not yet the time for the morning prayer in Arabia, and although the sky was slightly bright, the sun still needed an hour to come out. It was the time when the mist was rising, and the sea in Cyprus was always thick, and there was a faint sound of music coming from the castle half-hidden in the mist, and a girl playing blues music in French.

An Feng, who was walking towards the gate of the castle, felt that the song seemed to be the song of the Siren, and he was like a young man bewildered by the song of the Siren, step by step, without looking back, towards the gate of the castle in the black hole.

That's Upton's singing.

It is said that Upton has the intention of developing in the film and television industry.

It is said that her agent has already begun to engage with Hollywood, on the one hand, preparing to travel to New York, enter the New York fashion industry and become the darling of the American fashion industry, and on the other hand, she is also preparing to play the role of a ballroom singer in a new Hollywood film.

In fact, Upton's voice is not good, but in this 21st century, it doesn't matter whether the voice is good or not, technology has developed to such an extent that every note in the song can be modified word by word, so as long as Upton can "lip-sync" and open her mouth to match the mouth shape, she can become a popular singer - of course, when she "lip-syncs", the voice must be electronically synthesized, and this kind of lip-synching must be implemented in a country with special national conditions.

Now, the singing voice being played is electronically synthesized, and as a high-IQ agent, An Feng can even discern the artificially modified traces of Upton's singing. Although there are strong traces of artificial decoration in this song, it is not clear that when Upton sings this song, he must be full of emotion - this is a love song.

Mourn for Upton? No, this is an innocent girl, she doesn't know the fraud in the world, she doesn't know the viciousness of all kinds of brainwashing techniques, she longs to be cared for, even if she encounters the kidnapper's care during the kidnapping, she feels warm, so she throws herself into the kidnapper's arms without hesitation, and is willing to give everything for the kidnapper, and the kidnapper obviously treats the other party as a gift, as a weapon, and can be used to ...... at any time Serve your own cause.

It is a disease that is very difficult to treat. Because after being brainwashed, he will consciously and voluntarily accept brainwashing thinking, and then become like to judge right and wrong with feelings rather than IQ, so telling the truth hurts his feelings, so he instinctively rejects all the truth and refuses to sober up from the brain.

The hall of the castle was covered with a thick Turkish carpet made of donkey wool that was soft and elastic, and An Feng's feet were almost sunk to his ankles, and he groped his way to the roof platform to the sound of music, and behind him, Abdullah and the young man escorted him silently with guns.

The scenery of the coast of Cyprus is extremely beautiful, with the sea breeze as soft as silk, the water as blue as jewels, and the cliffs as magically beautiful. When An Feng walked into the roof platform, he squinted his eyes to feel the soft breeze blowing in his face, and then opened his eyes to look at the roof platform - in fact, he was measuring the starry sky with his naked eye, judging his position according to the position of the stars.

The entire roof platform is empty, only a record player is placed in the corner, the record player is playing an electric bakelite record, the shape of the record player is very simple, the shape of the horn is like a trumpet flower, and it is made of cloisonné, Upton's singing voice is released from the speaker, a little melodious, a little sad.

It is not good to have a supernatural feeling, many things are no surprise to An Feng, but at this moment he still has to pretend to be surprised, he looked at the roof platform in amazement, and the anxiety and desire in his eyes could not be concealed.

Abdullah behind him was also a little surprised, the plan was not like this, there should be someone in this castle to answer, but now they seemed to enter a ghost castle, the door to the roof platform was wide open, they entered the castle freely, but no one greeted them along the way, no trace of activity in the whole castle, the only sign that someone had come was the record player in front of them.

An Feng walked to the record player with a dazzled face, stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the horn of the record player, his expression was gentle as if he was caressing Upton's hair, he was stunned for a while, his hand was still on the horn, turned his face away, and gave Abdullah an inquiring look.

Abdullah could only pretend not to understand, he coughed, and commanded the young man with a calm expression: "Go, close the gate of the castle, and go to the kitchen to see if there is any food." ”

The young man turned around and ran down the stairs with a clattering footsteps, Abdullah immediately spread his hands and motioned for An Feng to find a place to sit, while he tightened his rifle and leaned on the staircase thoughtfully.

An Feng shook his head, refused the other party's request to sit down, he circled around the record player twice, this is a record player that uses batteries to play, I don't know how many times the record has been played at the moment, Upton's singing voice has been a little trembling due to lack of power...... An Feng's keen eyes searched around the record player and found a few faint fingerprints.

It was a man's fingerprint, and the record player had passed through at least two people's hands, and neither of them had the caution that an agent should have, and they didn't wear gloves when moving the record player, and the surface of the record player was so smooth that their hands left a full five-finger fingerprint on the record player's case, as well as a faint half of the palm prints.

An Feng didn't touch the record player, he walked to the edge of the castle with his hands behind his back, the castle was built on the edge of a cliff, through the chest wall of the castle, you could see the waves on the sea, and the faint fishing fire in the distance.

There are still traces of artillery on this castle, and the ground is inlaid with thick iron bars, which are the guide rails needed for the old smoothbore guns, and the artillery is aimed at the sea side, and it is estimated that this castle has also had violent artillery battles before...... An Feng wanted to recall that it seemed that in the heyday of the Ottoman Empire, there was a naval battle near the sea of Cyprus, and he vaguely remembered that it seemed that the British Navy had completely annihilated the Ottoman fleet, so the pace of the Ottoman Empire's maritime expansion was blocked, and since then, until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, their footsteps have not crossed East Cyprus.

On the other side of the sea should be Greece, although the pace of the Ottoman Empire's maritime expansion was thwarted by the British, but their land expansion was thwarted by the Russians, at its peak, the Ottomans occupied Greece and extended their power into the Aegean Sea, and finally they ran into the Russian Goshak forces near Azerbaijan......

In a trance, and I don't know how long later, the young man's footsteps sounded again, and he trotted all the way up to the roof platform, and whispered to Abdullah in Arabic: "There is no one in the castle, there is no one, I have found food in the kitchen, and I have found a bedroom where I can sleep." ”

Abdullah carefully observed An Feng's movements with the corner of his eye, and replied helplessly: "Okay then, let's hurry up and eat some food and find a place to sleep, maybe when we wake up, the answer should arrive...... Did we arrive early? ”

The young man shook his head and replied affirmatively, "We didn't advance at all, we entered the castle at most five minutes before the appointed time. ”

Abdullah didn't notice that An Feng showed any signs of familiarity with the Arabic language, so he turned his back to An Feng and said thoughtfully, "What's the matter?" How did the plan change...... Forget it, it's safe here, we're here for twenty-four hours, and if no one shows up, then we'll evacuate as planned. ”

Abdullah's movements at the moment were very dangerous, he turned his back to An Feng, and the young man's muzzle was blocked by Abdullah's body, if An Feng made a move at this time, he would throw these two people off the castle and into the sea under the cliff.

But An Feng didn't make a move, he seemed to be stuck in a memory, facing the sea and continuing to ponder. Seeing that the morning light was getting thicker and thicker, some nearby mosques sounded one after another urging for morning prayers, and An Feng seemed to be confused, his face was stunned, his face was worried, his mind was full of confusion, and he didn't pay attention to the movements of the two escorts behind him.

After Abdullah finished talking with the young man, he turned to look at An Feng, and suddenly he realized how dangerous the action just now was, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and when the young man turned around and ran down the stairs, Abdullah wiped the cold sweat with palpitations, his face eased a lot, no longer nervous and guarded, and said in a kind tone:

"Major Volkin, let's go down, and if you're interested, take a look at the various rooms in the castle, and maybe there's something Miss Upton left behind."

In this case, Major Volkin did not launch a counterattack, which most likely meant that Major Volkin had given up resisting and was only expecting to meet Miss Upton smoothly, so the strings in Abdullah's heart relaxed a little.

An Feng looked worried, he nodded slowly, and followed Abdullah away from the roof platform, but he was sneering in his heart, it seems that Upton's adulterer wants to play psychological warfare with An Feng, in order to make the psychological tactics realistic, he even hid his own people.

Upton is not in this castle, firstly, he can observe An Feng's demeanor, raise An Feng's psychological expectations, and cause An Feng's big psychological gap, but also to ...... Prevent being tracked.

Iran is a country where extremism is rampant, and it is easy to hide meat tickets in this country, but due to the joint sanctions of the international community, Iran and the international community are in a state of disconnection, even if Iran issues a ransom demand, it may not be able to be smoothly sent to the families of the abductees, and at the same time, the ransom paid by the families of the abductees will never flow into Iran, so the kidnappers must transfer the meat tickets out of Iran in order to make people believe that they will hand over the meat tickets smoothly after receiving the ransom.

However, transporting the meat tickets from Iran is also a difficult task, and although the kidnappers have made a lot of deceptive moves before boarding, there is no guarantee that their plane will not be monitored. In particular, the more important meat tickets must be changed many times to ensure their own safety.

Therefore, it is understandable that there is no responder in this castle, but the responder did not go far, they must be hiding nearby, observing the movement of the castle through various remote means, so An Feng did not dare to act rashly.

In the castle kitchen, the food is very fresh, and the vegetables in the refrigerator are actually yesterday...... Of course, Abdullah didn't notice these details, he was in charge of staring at An Feng, the young man was busy cooking, when he removed the label rope of the vegetables, he just threw it in the trash can casually, and An Feng, who was sitting at the dining table and waiting for food, saw the date on the label in a flash.

The Arabs don't know what espionage is - to be honest, the current Arab espionage comes from CIA training, and when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, the CIA trained a group of Arab spies for the purpose of Cold War confrontation, and these spies later became the spiritual leaders of the Arabs, and they taught the rest of the Arabs how to steal intelligence.

This is perhaps another kind of copycat. The spiritual leaders copied the espionage techniques and taught them to the Arabs, so the Arabs knew how to gather intelligence, how to spy and infiltrate - but what they learned in the "al-Qaeda" training school was a big picture, and they always didn't do it in detail, for example, at this moment, Abdullah should not have invited An Feng into the kitchen and watched the young man open the refrigerator to make breakfast.

Of course, Abdullah may not be careless, and there are reasons why he did this, such as the fact that there are only two of them, and he has to ensure that he keeps an eye on An Feng at all times, and he has to remind the young man at all times to guide the young man's behavior. And An Feng's previous performances, including those at the mouth of the Alang River, showed that Major Volkin was only a rotating officer in the army, good at using computers but not firearms, and even though he was physically fit, he was relatively slow to react physically.

It is also beneficial for Abdullah to stare at An Feng inch by inch, for example, under the observation of the other party's good eyes, An Feng can only pretend to be weak, he can't presumptuously observe whether there is a monitor in this restaurant, and he can't determine whether someone is analyzing the movement of the restaurant through the remote network at this moment.

The sky gradually brightened, Abdullah's expression was a little anxious, at this time he had not seen the answerer appear, he was already a little desperate, and after the little ghost meal was ready, the nervous Abdullah forgot to greet An Feng, and only buried his head in eating. After the meal was finished, the little ghost served warm milk tea, and Abdullah drank the milk tea comfortably, and then remembered An Feng opposite.

An Feng didn't eat fast, he seemed preoccupied, Abdullah raised his eyebrows, and said playfully: "Oh, I remember that you haven't eaten for more than ten hours, no, it should be sixteen hours." I wondered, how can you continue to go on for sixteen hours without eating when you have not eaten for seventy-two hours in a row, and then, under the supervision of my gaze, have eaten only a pitiful amount of food? I am amazed by your endurance. Budullah may not be careless, and there are reasons why he did this, such as there are only two of them, and he has to ensure that he keeps an eye on An Feng at all times, and he has to remind the young man at all times and guide the young man's behavior.
