Chapter 34: Kidnapping

"Wow, it's really smoky here." As soon as Helliga and the others entered the workshop, they were completely covered by the white smoke that filled the corridor.

"It doesn't smell pungent. Fei, do you know what this is? ”

"It should be a military smoke grenade...... The purpose is to disrupt the other party's detection. I think there must be a smoke pipe in the hallway. The Philippines quickly determined the situation.

"That's right, if you destroy the smoke pipe, I think the smoke will dissipate soon." Joshua nodded in approval.

"Well, I think Grandpa should still be in the studio on the third floor......" Tita interjected on the side, "Grandpa doesn't pay attention to his surroundings at all when he's concentrating on his research......

"Anyway, let's go check it out." Estelle clapped.

————————————————————————————

Joshua and Feye were skillful, and in their hurry, they easily removed all the chimneys. It's just that the guide ladder leading to the third floor seems to have no energy supply, and several people have to go up through the emergency passage.

Pushing open the door of the research room where the doctor was, only the equipment was roaring and running, and the doctor himself, even with the strange black guide was gone, and all kinds of documents and notes were scattered in a mess, as if there had been some fierce fight.

"It looks like a premeditated operation, and the target of the operation is something here." Heiliga quickly concluded, "It's obvious. Someone has a lot of interest in that black force guide of yours. ”

"However, the Doctor himself is gone, which means ......," Heiliga continued, thinking.

"No...... No way? Joshua said with some uncertainty, "If Dr. Russell were to be kidnapped, wouldn't it be better to raid the doctor's house in the dead of night?" Why would you take advantage of the daylight to make such a riot to do this? Not only will it attract the attention of the guerrillas, but the royal family, which has always regarded the development of guidance as the lifeblood of the country, will also order the royal army to investigate strictly. ”

"Yes, Dr. Russell has been here for a long time, and if it was a kidnapping for the doctor himself, it should have been foreshadowed. And to pick a move at this time, and to disappear with the black power guide, that is......" Helriga suddenly stopped, meaningful.

“…… You can take the power guide that you've been here with you, right? Fei nodded, "And maybe the doctor has already done some research on this, maybe the people who kidnapped the doctor are either here for the information, or they are worried that the information will be taken away by us, right?" ”

“…… Yes...... That is to say? ...... "Estelle, the slowest brain-earning man on the scene, is still trying to keep up with everyone," Dr. Russell was kidnapped? ”

"yes, obviously." Hyliga spoke briefly, turning to Tida, "Tita, do you know that this workshop has any secret escape routes or anything like that?" ”

"This ...... Never heard of it. All the special escape routes can only be escaped through the gate. Tita thought for a moment and calmly gave an answer.

"In that case, there is no longer any possibility for the other party to slip through the back door...... Or that there is a secret passage that even Tita doesn't know exists, and then there's nothing we can do. But if this secret passage doesn't exist......"

"Then the kidnappers will have to go out through the main entrance." Estelle found the crux of the problem this time, "But how?" ”

"It's simple, just do some camouflage." Fei shrugged, "Pretend to be a mature person, knock people unconscious and get them out openly, send them for treatment under the pretext, and then walk away...... In the regiment ...... Ever heard of such a thing. Covering her mouth slightly, Fei realized that she had almost missed something again.

"You've done kidnappings...... "Helliga whispered, poking Faye lightly. The latter gave him a somewhat flattering look.

“…… It's fine for an average person, but with Dr. Russell's words, it seems unlikely. Ignoring the strange white-haired duo over there, Joshua made a very crucial point, "If you go out with Dr. Russell who has passed out, there will be the best medical care for Dr. Russell right away...... In this way, there is no chance to take the doctor with him. ”

"yes...... If you are a doctor, you will definitely be sent to the royal capital by the military in an airship to receive the best doctors. Faye nodded, she knew Dr. Russell's position in the country very well.

“…… Wait, military! Fei's unintentional words opened the valve of Hailiga's thoughts, and he clapped his hands heavily, "Yes, if the kidnappers dress themselves up as military...... You can take the doctor openly! ”

"Without further ado, let's split up. Fei, let's go find the kidnappers, they probably haven't walked out yet...... Estelle, hurry back to the hall on the first floor and tell the foreman of this inference, especially the man dressed as a soldier with a huge package. To be on the safe side, Tita, you and Estelle are with them. ”

"Oh...... Oh......" Estelle, who had inexplicably been robbed of the captain's leadership, naturally agreed, after all, the inference given by the boy was very logical and probably the correct answer. Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and acted separately.

"Ahh You're all right! Seeing Esther and Joshua come out with Titha, Master Madoc said happily, and the red-haired videographer chattered non-stop.

"Workshop Master, listen to me." Joshua muttered, "The Doctor is gone, and we assume he was kidnapped and taken away. ”

"Kidnapping? Take? The workshop manager was taken aback, "We didn't see any suspicious people." ”

"There's no secret passage in the workshop, right? If they want to leave, they can only leave through the main entrance. We deduce that they might dress up as regular soldiers and take the doctor away. ”

"Speaking of the army...... "Master Madok fell into deep thought, "the soldiers of the Kingdom Army, dressed in blue and white military uniforms and with good manners, have just walked through a group of ...... I heard they were sent from El Raidon. ”

"Yes, they are Her Majesty's personal guards." Doroshi, a stupid reporter on the side, said obsessively, "I also took pictures of them." As he spoke, he held up the camera in his hand.

"They really don't look like soldiers, they carry big bags of goods...... Just go...... Ah......h

"In which direction did they go?" Seeing that Tita was on the verge of crying, Estelle asked eagerly.

"I said I was in a hurry, and I went to the town and city block...... "The workshop manager recalled.

"Chase!" "Can't let them escape!" Estelle and Joshua moved quickly and chased after them.

"Didn't find ......" the head of the workshop was just about to persuade Estelle to be careful, when Hyliga and Fey also came out of the workshop, "Estelle...... Well, what about their people? ”

“…… Go in the direction of the city block and pursue...... The prisoner who kidnapped the doctor went. The head of the workshop bowed his head with some remorse.

“…… Is it true......" Helliga sighed, "disguised as a soldier?" ”

"Well, it's Her Majesty's personal guard...... At that time, there was no suspicion on them......"

"What...... Is it a fake pro-guard? Doroshi was surprised and said, "I even took pictures of them." ”

"Got a picture? Can you show me? "Heliga's eyes lit up, and if you have pictures, a lot of things are easy to do.

"Absolutely." Dorohi proudly handed over the camera, confident that she would not lose to anyone else in her skills, "But this is something that can be used as a super breaking fodder, you must not break it." Probably mistaken for guerrillas as well, Doroshi did not show any refusal.

"I'll take a look......" turned out the camera, and Heliga expertly flipped through it. Suddenly, he saw something strange and familiar.

"The black dress...... It's ......"
