Chapter 33: Turkey in Distress (1)
In September, Sergei led Yao Jingjing to romantic Turkey and stayed in a five-star hotel in Istanbul. Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople, is the economic, cultural and transportation center of Turkey, a world-famous tourist resort, and one of the bustling international metropolises. Istanbul not only spans Europe and Asia geographically, but also embraces the essence of the ideas, cultures and arts of the peoples of Europe, Asia and Africa, thus becoming an important meeting point of Eastern and Western ideas and cultures, leaving behind many historical places of interest.
Istanbul's Grand Bazaar is one of the oldest covered markets in the world. For many years, it was a meeting point for traders and merchants. Here, visitors can pick up authentic Turkish traditional goods or join the locals for tea and listen to their fascinating stories...... Visitors can browse its myriad of goods and walk under its stained glass windows. The shop is filled with fabrics, precious gems, antiques and carpets, and much more.
On this day, Sergei led Yao Jingjing to the Grand Bazaar to buy goods, which was colorful and full of Turkish goods with national characteristics, and Yao Jingjing was dazzled, as if he had walked into a fairy tale world with oil paintings. Yao Jingjing plans to go on a shopping spree today, buy something for her parents and send it back, and buy something for her friends.
"Lilia, there's a lot of people here, you hold my hand." Sergei held Yao Jingjing's hand tightly, for fear that he would lose her if he was not careful. The market is overcrowded, full of people of all shapes and colors, and with many pickpockets, it is a place where danger and opportunity coexist.
Yao Jingjing disagreed, and said, "It's okay, don't be so nervous." Yao Jingjing's idea is simple, this is public, what can happen, Sergei is too nervous.
Yao Jingjing, who was attracted by all kinds of goods, didn't realize that danger was coming, she was immersed in the excitement of shopping, and she couldn't support it, and before she knew it, she bought a lot of goods, and Ivan and the four bodyguards each carried large bags of items behind her. Sergei wanted to hold Yao Jingjing's hand, but Yao Jingjing was in the way and broke free every time.
At this time, a group of pedestrians suddenly rushed out of the face, and their footsteps rushed over, instantly scattering Yao Jingjing and Sergei. Yao Jingjing was squeezed by the crowd of people swarming in front and back, left and right, and rushed away, before she had time to look back at Sergei, Yao Jingjing only felt a tightness around her waist, as if a pair of big hands were clasping her waist, Yao Jingjing suddenly felt bad, and just about to shout, she was vigorously covered by a piece of cloth, and a strange fragrance instantly rushed into her nose. Then her eyes went black, and she lost consciousness.
When the crowd dispersed, Sergei looked around and found that Yao Jingjing could no longer be found. Sergei was shocked, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"Lilia, Lilia, where are you?" Sergei shouted, but there was no response.
Sergei realized that something had happened to Yao Jingjing, and immediately ordered Ivan: "Ivan, you quickly lead people to find Madame separately." ”
"Yes." Ivan and the four bodyguards also realized something at this moment, and they immediately went separately to find Yao Jingjing.
Sergei stood still, thinking carefully about what had just happened, and guessing that the flow of people just now was the initiator, that it was a premeditated kidnapping. Sergei's heart couldn't help but rise, and he prayed in his heart: Lilia, you must be fine. I won't allow you to have anything.
It is said that after Yao Jingjing was stunned, she was carried by several people from the secret door of the market and quietly left the market and got into a black van. This is clearly an organized and premeditated crime. The gang has been wandering around the exit of the market, and as soon as they notice a lone woman, they are the ones who will go after them. Although Yao Jingjing has peers, Yao Jingjing's Asian face is too eye-catching, in the European women's trafficking market, there are many buyers and customers who love Asian women, because Asian women generally have flat faces, and the whole person looks much younger than European and American women of the same age, and Asian women are not as strong as European and American women, and there is little body odor. Therefore, many buyers and customers are very fond of Asian women, and the prices given are often very high.
On Sergei's side, Ivan and a few people searched around the market again and again, looking for several hours, but they never found Yao Jingjing's figure, and the smart and calm Sergei guessed that Yao Jingjing had already been transferred, so he asked Ivan to stop searching.
"Boss, what should I do? Madame was not to be found at all. Ivan's face was embarrassed, and he felt guilty in his heart.
"I'm afraid that Madame is long out of the market, and she must have been taken away."
"Boss, what do we do now? Do you want to call the police? ”
Sergei narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, shook his head, and replied: "It's too late to call the police." It was supposed to be a case of human trafficking, and within 48 hours, they were going to be trafficking the lady to another country. When the time comes, we won't be able to find it. ”
"Boss, what are we going to do?"
"Don't panic, I'll think about it."
Sergei pondered for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a long-lost number.
"Hey."
"Hey, Evrim, it's me Sergei."
A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Hahaha, Sergey, how could you call me, I heard that you are now retired." ”
"Yes. Evrim, I'm out of charge now, and I'm in Istanbul right now, so I need your help. ”
"Looks like you're in trouble. Okay, I'll send my address to your phone, you can come over now. ”
In a few moments, Sergey received a text message from Evrim with a residential address. Not daring to hesitate, Sergey and his party immediately went.
By the time Sergey arrived at the specified address, it was already dark. The bodyguard at the door had already received instructions from the boss, and let Sergei and his party in without asking too much.
It was a villa, and it was full of stout men with guns, all of whom were Evrim's thugs. Sergei was led to the living room, where his old friend Evrim was sitting leisurely on the sofa.
Seeing Sergei coming, Evrim dragged his fat body and clumsily got up to greet him, and laughed: "Sergey, I haven't seen you for a long time." As he spoke, he hugged Sergei.
"Sergey, why did you come to Turkey?" Evrim pulled Sergei to sit down on the couch.
"I came to Turkey with my new wife."
"You're remarried? I haven't heard of that. ”
"Don't talk about this yet, I need your help."
Seeing that Sergei was anxious and must be in trouble, Evrim asked: "What happened?" ”
