The interrogation went unusually well, but loyalty also directly determined the value of the information that could be confessed.

This manager is obviously a peripheral member of the Shibata family, and it is certain that if it were not for the need for such a group of tourists to cover the identities of Shibata Hiroshi and the others, this manager would not have been qualified to participate in any part of this matter at all.

So in the end, the most fundamental information that Xie Cunguan could get was that about an hour after leaving Seoul in the morning, at a fork in the road, Shibata Hiroshi and others got out of the car and got into another car that had been waiting there for a long time, and their car did not stop at all, and drove directly to this town to meet the tour group that also departed from Seoul in the morning and was waiting here.

When Xie Cunguan heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Fortunately, according to the original training requirements, things that you take for granted when tracking also need to use a chance to verify with your own eyes, and you must not be lazy.

Otherwise, I really don't know where Shibata Hiroshi, the golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell, will take him.

The next manager basically didn't know anything, and he didn't even remember the license plate number of the car that Shibata Hiroshi and the others had changed. However, fortunately, he rose step by step from the most basic tour guide to the position of manager, and often led groups in the past, so he was more familiar with the road, and on the map of Seoul that Li Guangxin took out, he immediately pointed out the intersection where he broke up with Shibata Hiroshi.

In addition, in his mobile phone, there is indeed a mobile phone number that Shibata Hiroshi contacted him when he was in Seoul, but he provided the number to Fan Yushan, and Fan Yushan entered the mobile phone positioning system to check. But there is no information at all.

Obviously, the other party's number is no longer used, that is, for a while. Xie Cunguan didn't have any way to continue tracking Shibata Hiroshi.

Threatening to ask the manager to call the rest of the tour group, saying that he had something urgent to do, and arranged the follow-up, Xie Cunguan took the manager and quickly left the small town of Xichuan.

In the current situation, whether he believes the manager or not, it is impossible to throw him down.

Of course. The easiest way is to kill and bury it, and it will be a hundred! But in this way, there is the trouble of startling the snake if the body is found. Moreover, this person kept it, maybe it would be of some use. After all, the other party is a person who is related to Shibata Hiroshi, and there may be some peaks and loops.

Of course. There are troubles with it, but Xie Cunguan has thought about it, anyway, the other party is the manager of a travel company, and his own team of people has a big goal in action, inspired by Shibata Hiroshi, he simply pretended to be a self-guided tour group.

This is said to be an unlucky and lucky manager. sat in the first car, between Xie Cunguan and Wang Yibing.

The co-pilot of the first car was Li Guangxin, and if he wanted to believe that some minor troubles could be settled.

Along the way, Xie Cunguan chatted with the manager. After all, the other party is a veteran of tourism, and I want to believe in the attractions and some historical allusions in Seoul and its surroundings. There should be a deep understanding.

And Shibata Hiroshi is looking for a secret base of the Japanese during World War II in this place.

A secret military base, no matter how tightly managed it was and how well the secrecy measures were in place. I want to believe that after so many years of accumulation, there will definitely be some clues exposed to the world.

In the seemingly casual chat, Xie gradually brought the topic to the Japanese occupation of Seoul during World War II, talking about the areas around Seoul that were less developed and could be used as adventure tourism destinations.

In his mind, there must be a special reason why a secret military base can not be discovered for so many years.

Either it's very inaccessible, or for some other reason, no one else can go.

He is a member of the Shibata family's in-laws, and to put it bluntly, his aunt is married to someone from the Shibata family, so he relies on this relationship to get the care of the Shibata family.

For the Shibata family, in addition to being able to bear the surname Shibata, the people who can develop are these in-laws.

Because of this relationship, it is stronger to use and control than those strangers, and it is relatively easy to gain recognition.

It's like a person on the street suddenly saying to you, let's do business together, I'll fund your business, and then fifty-fifty will be divided.

You're going to kill him with the look of a white rabbit looking at a big bad wolf!

But if your cousin or cousin finds you and tells you that I have a spare amount of money on hand, let's cooperate in a business, I will contribute the funds, you will contribute the manpower, and everyone will make half of the money.

At this time, you must be very grateful for his affirmation of your talent and appreciation of your personality, because that layer of kinship makes it easier for you to trust him compared to others.

Of course, in fact, in the eyes of an understanding person, this kind of kinship is not worth a penny. It has now become a fashion, which is why MLM is so popular that it cannot be stopped under the prohibition of the law.

This manager is a relative who was tied to a chariot by the Shibata family, and he mainly helps the Shibata family import some electronic accessories in Seoul, and at the same time runs such a small travel company, sending Korean tourists to Japan and receiving Japanese tourists who come to South Korea.

However, after many years of traveling in Seoul, he has adapted to life here and brought his wife and children to South Korea.

I have a considerable understanding of the customs, history and humanities here.

When Xie Cunguan talked to him about this topic, he was talking about his pride, and he gradually relaxed from a slightly restrained question and answer at the beginning, and began to play freely, telling all kinds of anecdotes that he had heard in the tourism industry in Seoul for many years.

This is actually a psychological need of human beings.

As a timid and fearful person, after being kidnapped suddenly, psychologically, he has an instinctive flattering mentality towards the kidnapper, and always hopes that his cooperation can make the other party hurt him less.

This mindset is known as "Stockholm syndrome".

The first people to become aware of this phenomenon were a kidnapping case in 1973. After an unsuccessful attempt to rob one of Stockholm's largest banks, the two criminals kidnapped four bank employees and confronted the police for six days.

During this time, the robbers threatened the lives of their captives, but sometimes showed a merciful side.

Eventually, in a psychological twist, the four hostages began to resist the government's efforts to rescue them. Even a few months after the incident, the four bank employees who had been held hostage still felt compassion for the kidnappers who had been punished by the law, refusing to charge the kidnappers in court and even raising funds for their legal defense.

One of the abductees is said to have been engaged to a kidnapper while serving her sentence.

Later research has shown that the incident, which scholars call "Stockholm syndrome," is surprisingly pervasive and can be seen in a variety of experiences. But it must be emphasized that people who experience this syndrome are not crazy, but they are fighting to save their lives.

This syndrome represents a tactic used by captives to curry favor with their kidnappers in order to ensure their own safety.

At this moment, the chattering manager confessed everything he knew to Xie Cunguan with such a calculated mentality. The two of them kept talking, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

The convoy finally arrived at the intersection where Shibata Hiroshi and the others got off in the morning, but this was an inaccessible area, and the vehicles coming and going were just passing in a hurry, and no one stopped here at all, and there was nowhere to inquire if they wanted to.

Although there was only one fork in the road, Xie Cunguan could not determine that Shibata Hiroshi left from this fork.

Because a treacherous person like Shibata Hiroshi can't be inferred by common sense at all. The so-called real is virtual, virtual is real, change from the heart, no trace can be found, is Shibata Hiroshi's current practice.

He deliberately placed the place where he got off the car at such an intersection to give the impression that he might have taken another road from this intersection. But his personality makes the tracker feel that this obvious intersection is very likely to be a trap.

But if it's not this intersection, then there are three or four forks in the road here, and every intersection is possible.

Xie Cunguan stood on the side of the road, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart: Dare to ask where the road is?
