The forest was still so quiet, but the entry of more than thirty people into the forest directly broke the silence of the forest.
The birds around were so frightened that they flew up, and even the weeds made a rustling sound after being stepped on.
A dozen Japanese soldiers and more than twenty policemen shuttled through the mountains and forests, pursuing them along the trampled weedy path in front of them, and their speed was not slow.
But in comparison, the mayor of Harbin City was sitting peacefully in his office, drinking tea and enjoying the pleasure of wiping his clothes brought by his secretary.
"Yumi, how is the situation over there?"
"Mayor, there has been no news from over there. The First Brigade has sent a squadron there, as well as twenty or thirty policemen from the police station over there."
"Who are these bandits? Have you found out their whereabouts?"
"I'm sorry, I asked someone to check. It's just that the bandits seemed to be transiting bandits. They seemed to have come from the south. I heard that many people were kidnapped in Xinjing some time ago. After paying the money, most of them
Put them all back."
"I didn't expect that these bastards would ask for $100,000 this time. They are so brave!"
"The mayor, Mr. Augustus, and Mr. Qiaoben, their status is not low. If something happens, it may be very troublesome." Yumi persuaded carefully.
"Don't worry, the accident has nothing to do with us. After all, it was Qiao Ben and the others who invited people there. We don't know about it. And if something happens to the Qingquan Brigade, it is their business and has nothing to do with us."
"That's right, it really has nothing to do with us. We just need to do the work of the translator and the four German guards in front of us. However, mayor, the translator saw that the money was relatively small, so he directly refused."
"If you refuse, just refuse. Besides, what other tricks can they do in the city hall?" The mayor didn't take it to heart at all, but continued to drink his tea.
Politicians are different from those who are soldiers. They know how to weigh the pros and cons and do not have to work hard to solve these problems like other people.
They leave professional issues to professional people.
"By the way, how are you preparing the money?"
"It's ready. I said we don't have that many U.S. dollars, so we paid ten thousand dollars more with counterfeit currency!"
"Okay, let's make it clear to the bank. This is for the robbers."
They know very well that counterfeit currency cannot be exchanged in reverse. Of course, there is no big problem in private. In addition, there is another problem. Even on the surface, there is no problem. It can be exchanged, but it will not be exchanged for you.
…
In the city government meeting room, Fred and Zhang Tianhao were sitting there. After Zhang Tianhao had eaten, he sat there and closed his eyes to rest.
But the four Freds were like ants on a hot pot, unable to sit still, let alone sleep.
"Qin, please think of a way. We can't just wait, right?"
"Everyone, tell me, what can the five of us do now? Are there more Japanese people? No, is anyone well-informed? No, is anyone familiar with the terrain? Not even one. So, now we can only wait for the Japanese
The results on the human side.”
"But we can't just wait, we have to find something..."
"Let's play cards. It is most correct to calm down and play cards at this time. Unfortunately, I am still thinking of ways to see if it is possible to help Mr. Augustus. As for saving, let's not think about it anymore."
Zhang Tianhao immediately closed his eyes and started to rest. As for whether the four Freds believed it or not, he had no choice.
"By the way, there's one more thing. You guys need to remember that this is the Harbin City Government, not our territory. Don't let people see that we have no quality. We want to be gentlemen."
"Qin, go to hell, you are a gentleman. You are still a gentleman now. Mr. August's life has been threatened. Can we still sit still?"
"Yes, Qin, let's go to the damn mayor and ask them to speed up, otherwise how long will we have to wait!"
"These Japanese dwarfs are really angry. They asked the Vice Consul to come over. Something like this happened. We really want to kill him directly."
"Shameless and incompetent, what are the brains of these Japanese people? Such an important meeting was robbed by bandits. I won't believe it if you tell me."
When Zhang Tianhao listened to the analysis of these guards, he also felt alert in his heart. He also began to wonder if this was a self-written and directed show created by the Japanese.
After all, it is impossible for such an important figure as Augustus to have only a dozen or so Japanese soldiers to protect him, at least a small team.
A flash of doubt also flashed through his heart.
After all, kidnapping is easy to say, but not so easy to do. When such an important guest was kidnapped, there was not much movement in the Japanese city government.
Because of this, he also had some doubts as to whether this was just a play written and directed by the Japanese.
He stopped talking, and did not even say some unpleasant words with Fred and the other four. After all, he knew that there was a German translator here, and it was likely that someone would hear it, which would cause unnecessary trouble.
…
Just when he was bored here, William in Xinjing had already reported the matter to his superiors, especially the ambassador in the Tianjin embassy about the kidnapping of Augustus.
It's just that he hasn't received any news from Tianjin so far, so he can only put pressure on Japan in his own way and raise certain diplomatic protests.
"Kara, is there any reply from the Japanese now?"
"No, they just said that they have sent troops to rescue. As for the result, they are still in contact with people on the front line." Carla whispered the situation again.
"Oh! Isn't it too late for the Japanese to react? Why haven't there been any results yet? Is their work efficiency so low?"
William was also helpless for a while. After all, he didn't know how the Japanese side was handling the situation? He didn't know the situation at the Harbin city government.
"Would you like to call Mr. Qin and ask him to urge someone there?"
"No need, their going is just to show their attitude. Even if they are there, it won't have any substantive effect. We'd better find a way ourselves!"
He thought for a moment, shook his head, and then sat there and began to think.
Kara also knew that such a result was just a statement of attitude. In fact, it would have the same result whether he went or not. The Japanese would not give much face to the so-called representative Zhang Tianhao. It was probably just a simple reception and entertainment.
What she was thinking was actually similar to Zhang Tianhao's situation.
And Zhang Tianhao has now been thrown into the conference room by Vice Mayor Zhao and others. In addition to arranging a few people to serve them, even Vice Mayor Zhao left with an excuse.
As for the service staff, they all stood there and waited respectfully without your request, but they did what they could for you, and they were completely clueless about the rest.
Zhang Tianhao only asked one question and then asked no more questions.
Now he just sits there and sleeps with his eyes closed, not wanting these things to affect him. He is only here according to Carla's request. His mission is to express his attitude.
If you do too much, it will not be beautiful.
