Chapter 259: A Hard Time (02)
This is indeed in line with Carol's character, not going the ordinary way, not playing cards according to common sense, but I didn't expect him to be so proactive, the griffin said that the thing was received in the morning, and after confirming what was inside, he rushed over immediately, and they had already confirmed that it was a few of the people who followed Natasha on the mission who were killed.
This discovery can't help but make everyone's hearts sink, what about the situation of other people? Is it still alive?
"This kind of thing can't be transported over long distances, and it doesn't have any protection, so you can't pass the security check, either it's smuggled in, or it's someone who ......killed it locally," the ghost said after pinching the outer box to make sure there were no additives, "But I believe he can't have gone to great lengths to transport people here just to kill them, so it's unlikely that he's here, is there anything else besides these?" ”
The griffin shook her head, "Nothing. ”
"This is enough information that there is no need to leave any more rhetoric." 03 said.
"There is no embalming treatment, and the time to cut it should be no more than two days. The ghost continued to inspect.
"In other words, he's probably somewhere within two days of yours, but it's also a big one."
"You can't go through the regular transportation channels, otherwise it will be found out a long time ago, unless it is sent by someone, of course, it is also possible that there are people he trusts to manipulate these." Heavy Punch said as he looked at the head on the table.
"We're already doing our best to track down the sender, but we've already thought of what we can think of, so it's impossible to leave us with a loophole in this regard." "It's clear that this is a warning to us," the griffin said. ”
"Carol has confirmed their identities, at least there is nothing wrong with the identities of these three people." 03 said, "It's just a disadvantage, a reminder that he won't be relentless." ”
"But why do you have to kill the griffons?" The worm had a hard time understanding Carroll's train of thought.
"Compared to the Central ~ CIA, we are just a gang, and the threat we can pose to them is limited, just a gang, for them, we are just the softest persimmon among the three captured parties." The griffin seems to have figured this out a long time ago.
"Attacking your people can be a deterrent and leave room for yourself to maneuver, Carol is really shrewd, he is warning us, I have to push him too quickly, otherwise he will not be relenting."
But what's the point of warning us? Are we the kind of people who are easily intimidated? Could it be that if he sent this thing, we would give up on rescuing them or continue to fight them? The ghost didn't think Carol's warning was of much value.
"This should be aimed primarily at us, a warning to us, a reminder to you." The griffin said, "Obviously, he didn't dare to take your people first, let alone completely offend the ~ intelligence bureau, so our people became victims." ”
"We rectify the team, and now the people who are not injured are combined, I'm afraid there are not even five, if it weren't for the injury, it is estimated that they will be caught now, including the three of us, so you are not the weakest in comparison, we are the weakest in these three parties." The ghost said.
"Your strength is not as simple as it seems on the surface, this can only show one thing......" The griffin looked at them, "Carol knows where you come from, knows the real strength behind you, and understands that the consequences of offending you are definitely no worse than offending you~ The situation." ”
"It's embarrassing, in the eyes of the enemy, the strength is so strong, but we ourselves are already stretched thin and no one is available, so we are forced to find others to help, but we are like this again, the task is not completed, and half of the people are in." Heavy punches smiled bitterly, feeling that their own strength was too unequal to the assessment of outsiders.
The griffin said, "Since he was able to send this thing, it means that he has not completely cut off contact with us, and maybe Carol hasn't figured out how to talk to us, or maybe he is grinding our patience, so he should be doing something soon." ”
"The most troublesome thing is that we don't know what he wants to do, he may be hanging our appetite and leaving us with no direction, or he may be watching the situation and thinking about how to use further contact." "He didn't respond to our unsolicited contact, and even showed that he didn't even care about Remo Galli's life just to make us break off the idea of using Remo Galli to negotiate with him, and now he wants to come here to show that he doesn't care about Remo Galli's life and death at all, and doesn't want to be led by us." ”
"Anyway, let's follow this line first, and how far we can check, this is the only clue we have at present." 03 said, "If you don't mind, I'm going to take these things away and do some testing." ”
"Yes, but you'll have to give it back to me later." The griffon nodded.
03 Directly take the head and outer packaging for further testing, they know that the process will not be too fast, and there may not be any gains.
"What's next? Are we just going to be unable to do anything? The ghost asked, "People are starting to kill." ”
"You don't have to do anything." The griffin said, "I'm sure Carol will contact you soon, and he won't be silent for long." ”
"It's best what you say." The ghost said helplessly, "It's better to know what he wants to do than to have no clue like this." ”
It seems that now they have no other way than to continue the investigation with patience, but they did not expect that the results of the analysis on the side of 03 that night came out, although it was only a small part, but it could also provide some more valuable clues, after the professionals analyzed the residue above, they found something, and it can be confirmed that some of the fine particles are the fragments of certain rocks, and this kind of rock is only found in some parts of South Asia, through the analysis of the wound and the comparison with the dehydration after the dissectionThe climate of the area is relatively dry, judging from the burns on a person's face that are not obvious, the surface temperature of the area is at least between 50 and 70 degrees, indicating that the climate there is relatively hot, so it is said that the surface temperature is because the scalded place is still stained with some subtle things, which have obviously been placed on the ground, and after laboratory tests, it is determined that those are the residues of some duties, and they are the leaves of some grass and trees, a kind of endemic tree in South Asia.
In addition, the specific time of death determined by the test should have been in the afternoon of the previous two days, and the error before and after should not exceed two hours.
"That's not a small range." The ghost has already marked the range of eligibility on the map, at least seven or eight, and in several different countries, after a comprehensive analysis of the time it took to arrive in the region from the Caucasus and the time it took to get here from that region, the remaining five were also in three different countries.
"Each covers an area of at least a few hundred square kilometers, which is not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack." Worm said, looking at the area he had planned.
"At least not on a global scale." Punching at the location marked on the map, "Trust the analysis of professionals to come up with more accurate data than we can infer it, and wait." ”
Sure enough, three hours later, the data came out, and there were only two locations that were finally confirmed, one in the mountains near southern India, and the other near the border with Pakistan, also in the mountains, but almost everyone preferred the second according to the convenience of transportation, because the second is more in line with the requirements of transportation time.
"These things can only be delivered by plane to get here in the shortest possible time, through the investigation of these aspects, can we confirm that the market route of the plane should be able to find at least a few possibilities, right? The take-offs, landings and routes of the aircraft are certainly recorded. Worm said.
"The medical guys have already coordinated this information, and the results should be available soon." Heavy punch said.
"These two places ......" the griffin crossed her shoulders and looked at the location marked on the map, "Isn't the satellite data out yet?" ”
"It's up to the medic to provide the results, and their spy-scanned satellite will be more thorough in scanning the area, but certainly not too quickly, unless the satellite happens to be over the area." Heavy punch said.
"Even if their traces are found in this kind of place, large-scale military action cannot be taken, but if there are fewer people, it will definitely not solve the problem, and we have suffered from the lack of people several times, but these places are on other people's territory, and if there are too many people, it will definitely attract official attention, and even directly attract the army, which is quite unfavorable to our operation." The ghost voiced his concerns.
"It's a bit too early to think about that, we've only determined the approximate range, and although in the end there are only two left, it's not so easy to find them within hundreds of square kilometers now." After repeatedly zooming in on the data, he didn't find anything, so he finally had to give up.
"You have to be prepared for that." The ghost subconsciously touched his ribs, he knew how heavy his injuries were, and it would take at least a while for them to fully recover from his current state, but their mission could definitely start at any time.
"Don't think about it, with the state of the two of you, 03 is unlikely to agree to your participation." The worm certainly understood what he was thinking.
"It's best to go, it's not reluctant to go if you can't, your body is your own, you have to know how to take care of it, I'm not a workaholic." The ghost said.
"That's best, you're really not in the right state." Worm said again.
"It's like you're in a better shape." The ghost pouted.
"At least better than you." The worm gave him a blank look and said.
The next morning, the plane found out that the flight route was indeed a direct flight from the border area near Pakistan to Japan, but it was a small private plane, and the military doctor had sent agents to the area through internal relations to conduct further verification, and at the same time, the satellite was used to scan the range, but the data analysis may take longer, the terrain in the area is dangerous, there are many mountains, the forests are quite dense, and the range of conditions is very large, so it may take more time to draw conclusions.
On the third day after the griffins received the heads, Carol finally sent them a message through indirect channels, asking them to immediately release all the people they had captured earlier related to the 'Clock Tower', including Leenes, Burns, Cyrlias, Vedes, Slyas hamsters, and other related personnel, and only give them, and only give them three days to prepare, after three days, if they don't release people, he will kill one person every day and broadcast it live on the Internet.
"He doesn't negotiate with us, he just wants to put pressure on us to choose to comply with his demands." The military doctor said with a headache that if such a big thing really happens, not only will he not be able to stand it, but I am afraid that even their director will be forced to resign due to the pressure of public opinion, and it will even cause a series of immeasurable chain reactions.
"He did it." Griffin said.
"These people are really so important to him, why go to all the trouble to get these people back?" The worms never understood Carol's behavior, it stands to reason that these people have betrayed the 'clock tower' to varying degrees, but why does the 'clock tower' still refuse to give up on them?
"I want him to see that he is just trying to find a reason to kill and put the blame on us, because he knows that we will definitely not compromise." The ghost said, looking at that expression, he didn't seem to be joking.
"He's not that low." Griffin said.
"What about us? We can't help him, we don't know where he is now, and even if we do, we only have three days, and it may not even be enough to confirm the specific location, so what are you going to do? Continue to procrastinate, or do what he says first? Or just ignore it and let him cut off the heads of those people? The ghost looked at the medic.
"People will definitely not let them go, and they can't let him say to kill those people." The medic rubbed his temples and said.
"Isn't this nonsense? It's the same as not saying. The worm squinted at him.
"At the moment we have no better way, we can only find his location as soon as possible, carry out rescue operations, we still have three days, we should make full use of this time to do what we need to do, instead of sitting here and worrying, after all, we now have some direction, determine the general range, we can see some hope, on the other hand, we must be ready to contact him at any time, even if we don't find him after three days, he will contact our district before he starts, We had to come up with a few plans to stall for time, and there was no other way. Heavy punch said.
"It's certainly not as easy as you say." The military doctor said, "The above has directly denied that letting go of these people in exchange for the freedom of the captives is not feasible at all, even if we release all the people, Carol will not necessarily fulfill his promise, in this regard, his dishonesty rate is as high as 70, so even if he complies with his request and releases the people, he may kill all of our people, this point can be directly ignored and not considered, we can only start from other aspects, we will go back and discuss again to see if there is any better way." ”
After saying that, the military doctor left in a hurry, and in only three short days, they had too much work to do.
"Carol is smart, he doesn't contact us, he doesn't give us a chance to negotiate, he only makes demands, it seems that he has no intention of bargaining with us." "So it looks like he's going to kill people right out in three days." ”
"Didn't you just tell the medic that you were going to use the opportunity to talk to Carol to stall for time?" The ghost felt that the heavy punch was a bit incompatible.
"I just made him feel hopeful of delaying time, he was under too much pressure and I couldn't put more pressure on him." Heavy punch said.
"He's not stupid, he'll definitely think of it." "So it doesn't make much sense for you to do this." ”
"He doesn't know Carol and he's definitely hopeful." Griffin felt that the heavy punch was well thought out.
"What can we do in the past three days except wait for news?" The Ghost felt that they had to do something in such a tight timeframe.
Heavy Punch shook his head, "We really can't do anything yet, we don't need us for data analysis, we don't have a chance to rush over there to do further investigation, Carol doesn't contact us or give us a chance to negotiate, so we can't do anything but wait." ”
"...... Everyone is busy, but we can't help. The ghost scolded.
"If you don't make trouble, you help." Worm said.
"I'll fly over tonight, wait for news over there, and if the final location is confirmed, whether you are ready or not, we will take the first step to rescue us." Griffin said.
"You're so blind." Heavy Punch said that he had expected the griffon to do this.
"There's so little time, something has to be done, and I hope Natasha will come back in full." Griffin said.
Not long after the griffin left, he also learned that the military doctor had actually made similar preparations, a large number of people had rushed to the area, once there was accurate news, they would immediately launch a rescue operation, after hearing the news, they put a little bit of a snack, although she said that the griffin was not a reckless person, but even if he brought someone over, he would not bring too much, and now that there are people with the military doctor over there, it would be much better, even if there will be no cooperation between the two of them, it will also play a certain role in mutual assistance, which is not a bad thing for the griffin.
Soon a day passed, and since there was no accurate information from all sides, neither the agents of the local activities nor the analysis of satellite data were inconclusive, after all, the range was so large that they had not even found the owner of the plane.
Two days have passed, and there is still no progress, seeing that there is less than a day left, he went directly to the military doctor, and when he arrived, he found that 03 was also there, and the two were discussing what to do next.
"Isn't there still any result? There's not much time left. Heavy punch said.
"What do you want?" 03 raised his head and felt that the state of the heavy punch was not very right.
"It's simple." Heavy punch said, "Fight poison with poison." ”
"Be clear." 03 was a little impatient, "I don't have time to waste for you." ”
"Send a message and tell Carol that if he dares to touch our people, then we will start killing their people, he will kill one, we will kill two, and even if we can't save any of them, let his people die cleanly......"
