"Have you ever been to the Peace Hotel?"

"The local ones haven't been there yet. I'm going over now? ”

"Yes. You go now. Stay there for two nights. Maybe Cao Dashuai will meet you. ”

"Cao Dashuai?"

"Yes. Go ahead! Don't be nervous. He has gone into the wilderness, and he is an ordinary person. ”

"Why did he see me?"

"Recently, the Japanese have been attacking him, and he is so annoyed that he wants to ask you for help. Let the Japanese know that it is difficult to retreat. ”

"Understood."

Zhang Yong agreed. Indicates understanding.

Later generations show that Cao Kun is a backbone boss.

Although the Japanese repeatedly came to the door and asked him to go out of the mountain to preside over the situation in North China, he refused.

He didn't want to be a traitor.

His wife is also very backbone.

No matter what he did before when the warlords were fighting, the national integrity was still there.

"Another ......"

"What?"

"If you come, you may also stay at the Peace Hotel."

"Why?"

"Because there are some foreign affairs to deal with."

"Understood."

Zhang Yong nodded again.

If there were no foreigners, they would definitely not stay in a hotel.

Insecurity.

The seat is also very discreet.

Safety first.

If you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect the commission?

Isn't that a joke?

The Peace Hotel is a mixed bag, with all kinds of people and so on, and there are many crises.

The Assassins may be hiding in it.

However, many foreigners were involved in the train robbery. It may be necessary to consult with the foreigner repeatedly. This can only be done inside the hotel.

Fortunately, the Peace Hotel is not in the concession, and the security can be decided by itself.

If it is in the concession, security has to rely on local patrols. I always feel that I am not so reassured.

Okay, then go to the Peace Hotel.

It just so happened that I ran to Beiping, and I was tired on the way.

What he wants to do most now is take a hot shower, eat a big meal, and go to bed.

"Stay in a room with a phone."

"Understood!"

"Go ahead!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yong said goodbye.

Set off with Cao Mengqi, Wu Liuqi and Yang Zhi.

Three squads are a must. Safety first. It's windy outside. He's ready to stand on the tuyere to get oil and water.

If there is an accident and the tuyere is killed before it can stand, then ......

Maybe I'm dead, and everything in the space has exploded.

Then it will be cheaper for nothing.

Led the team to the Peace Hotel.

Throw money. Stay.

Wrap up the top two floors.

The Peace Hotel in Tianjin Wei has only nine floors. Not high. But the footprint is huge.

The buildings at that time were like this. There are dozens of rooms on one floor. Enough for more than fifty people. Fifty more is no problem.

If the seat comes, it should be with dozens of people. Totally accommodated.

There are two presidential suites on the top floor. All inclusive.

Zhang Yong took turns to live.

It's a treat. It can also be regarded as early control.

Check in early to find out if there is any danger in the room.

Silently inspect the room. No weapons or anything like that were found. However, on other levels, quite a few weapons were found.

Also normal.

In these years, who goes out without weapons?

Many foreigners carry pistols on their bodies. This is the most basic means of preserving life. Indispensable.

Several red dots were also found. It's Japanese.

"Bang!"

The door to the roof of the building was opened.

Zhang Yong came up to the roof. Hold up your binoculars and look around. No firing angles were found.

In the vicinity of the Peace Hotel, no other building is taller. So, if the enemy tries to snipe from the outside, it is unlikely. Slightly relieved.

What he fears most now is long-range sniping.

Especially the ones that are 400 meters away. If you have a scope, it's still dangerous. Within 400 meters, he can find it in advance, but it is not a big problem.

Took a week around the roof, checked the map. Found a lot of red dots nearby.

It's all scattered Japanese.

There is a public identity. There are also those who hide their identities. Leave it alone for now.

There are also some that seem to be peers. But the map shows small white dots. Probably an accomplice of the Japanese.

Either from Goryeo.

Either it was sent by the puppet Manchukuo.

These little white dots are easily recognizable because they have weapon markings.

"Let's go!"

Turn around and check the elevator.

The elevator is an old palisade type. It needs to be operated by a special person.

Of course, there is no problem with the bellboy. If there is a problem, he will be the first to be buried.

Except for the most fanatical Japanese spies, no one would commit such a suicidal act.

"Quack!"

"Quack!"

The elevator runs a bit noisy.

The height of a nine-story building actually takes about a minute.

It's really slow!

The elevator of the future may be completed in more than ten seconds.

However, slow also has the benefit of being slow. Even if there is really any situation, there is time to react.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Ask the maintenance worker to open the elevator shaft.

Double-check all equipment and facilities. Stay safe. At the same time, some spare parts are replaced.

Zhang Yong paid for it himself.

So as not to be sloppy in the hotel. Something will happen when the time comes.

Record all the information of the elevator maintenance personnel and determine which people are at work. Shifts cannot be changed.

Responsibility goes to people.

In the event of any shift change, it is possible that the Japanese spy sabotage.

Done.

Go to the restaurant. Check restaurant security.

Registrants......

Registered food ......

It's busy, and a few hours have passed.

A lot of information was also gathered.

There are many foreigners staying at the Peace Hotel, and they have heard about the train robbery, and they are all talking about it.

Most of the news, however, is probably hearsay. Ill hearings makes ill rehearsing. Listen to it. But I can't do it accurately.

In the evening, Luo Yiming came. Brought the latest news of the train robbery.

"The hostage has been found."

"Where?"

"Fort Weiyuan."

"Where?"

"It's about thirty miles from the railway line. It used to be a fort built by a large family to fight against bandits. Very tall. It's sturdy. Later, the big family fell into the house, and the fort became a den of bandits. Now the robbers have expelled all the hostages into the fort. There is only one entrance and exit to the fort. I can't find out the situation outside. ”

"Has the security team passed?"

"Nope. For the safety of the hostages, the security team did not dare to press too hard. ”

"Got it."

Zhang Yong nodded silently. Obviously, a solution by force is not feasible.

The forcible use of force would result in a large number of hostages. Especially foreign hostages. Rat-throwing traps.

Once the robbers push the foreigners out, it's over.

The brutal truth is that it doesn't matter how many Chinese people die. But the death of a foreigner is a big event.

The target of those robbers is obviously also foreigners.

They may release all the Chinese people, leaving only the foreigners. This allows for better control.

Sure enough, when Luo Yiming reported, supplementary news arrived. Indeed, all Chinese hostages were released. Only foreigners are left in Fort Weiyuan. Among the foreigners, there are old and weak women and children.

"The robbers are very good at it."

"Probably a repeat offender."

Zhang Yong muttered thoughtfully to himself.

He thought of the mysterious Sun Guizhi. Could it be that he was planning again?

Of course, he just guessed casually.

After all, more than ten years have passed, and maybe Sun Guizhi has already died.

In the more than ten years of war and chaos, what is the death of a person? How many heroes and heroes have become a piece of loess in the past ten years.

There are only negotiations.

Agree to the robbers' terms and rescue the hostages.

As long as the robbers don't have any hostages in hand, they can be dealt with slowly later. This was the case with the Lincheng train robbery before.

"What conditions did the robbers offer?"

"Not yet."

"Not yet? It's been more than a day. ”

"Not yet."

"Oh......"

Zhang Yong frowned secretly.

What are the robbers up to? Are they stalling for time?

Odd......

In fact, the most feared thing about kidnapping is that there are many dreams at night.

The longer the time, the more immutables. There may also be conflicts within oneself.

Especially mass kidnapping.

It is easy to erupt into internal contradictions. The fortress will be breached from within.

There is no reason for robbers to do this......

Eccentric.

Something didn't feel right.

However, I can't say what's wrong for the time being.

"What's the reaction from the outside world?"

"The foreigners elected British Minister Anderson as plenipotentiary to discuss the matter."

"Anderson ......"

Zhang Yong thought for a while. Actually, it's a good thing.

Anderson was also an acquaintance. It may be more convenient to communicate in the future.

However......

That's not the point. The point is......

"Isn't there a bounty?"

"Not yet."

"Forget it."

Zhang Yong shook his head. There are no bounties. Not motivated.

Not even tens of thousands of dollars. Who wants to come out on top?

These foreigners are also ignorant. But if there is a reward of tens of thousands of dollars, there will be people who are ready to move.

Thinking of Mei Lu......

Remembering Catherine......

The two of them can play a big role in this.

Luo Yiming said goodbye and left.

Cao Dashuai did not send anyone. It seems to have forgotten about it.

Zhang Yong wished there was nothing to do. He just wants to sleep now.

Nothing happened overnight.

Bathe.

Go to bed.

The first half of the night was fine. Sleeping thief incense. But I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep.

I can't sleep alone.

It's been a long night.

It's a pity that Xia Lan was let go too early.

I couldn't find Mei Lu again.

Alas......

Falling asleep in a daze. Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Bell bell bell ......"

"Bell bell bell ......"

Zhang Yong got up. It's customary to look at your watch.

I'm going to die. It's only two o'clock in the morning. It's been a long night! His biological clock seemed to be a little upside down.

I don't know who called? If it weren't for Li Boqi, he would definitely scold the other party fiercely. In the middle of the night, disturbing others' rest is tantamount to making money and killing people......

Pick up the microphone. A familiar voice came, and it was Mei Lu.

"Shaolong, I'll go find you."

"Good, good!"

Zhang Yong's heart suddenly bloomed.

She came at the right time. A long night, accompanied by beautiful women......

Put down the microphone. Retract into the covers.

Tianjin Wei in December, the night is quite cold. It's still comfortable in the bed.

I feel like I've been waiting for a beautiful woman for a long time......

Finally, Meilu came.

Wearing a long black trench coat, he can't hide his tall and plump figure.

"Don't move. I said it was important. ”

"Okay."

"Minister Anderson wants to ask you to do something."

"Train robbery?"

"It's not."

"Huh?"

Zhang Yong was surprised.

Wasn't it a train robbery? What is that?

At this time, what could be more urgent than a train robbery?
