Carefully check all equipment and facilities to ensure safety. Replace some spare parts at the same time.

Zhang Yong paid for it himself.

This will prevent the hotel from being sloppy and something will happen.

Record all the information of the elevator maintenance personnel and determine which people are working. Shift changes are not allowed.

The responsibility lies with people.

Any shift change situation may be sabotaged by espionage.

Finished.

Go to a restaurant. Check restaurant security.

Registrar...

Register ingredients...

It was so busy that a few hours passed by.

A lot of information was also collected.

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

However, most of the news may be hearsay and spread by false rumors. You can listen to it, but you can't do it accurately.

In the evening, Luo Yiming came and brought the latest news about the train robbery.

"The location of the hostages has been found."

"where?"

"Weiyuan Fort."

"Where?"

"It's about thirty miles away from the railway line. It used to be a fort built by a wealthy family to fight against the bandits. It was very tall and very strong. Later, the wealthy family's family fell and the fort became a bandit den. Now the robbers have taken all the hostages.

They were deported to the fort. The fort has only one entrance and exit. There is no way to inquire about the situation outside."

"Have the security team passed by?"

"No. For the safety of the hostages, the security team does not dare to push too hard."

"knew."

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

Forcible use of force will result in massive casualties to the hostages, especially foreign hostages. Use a rat-proof device.

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

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

The targets of those robbers were obviously foreigners too.

They might release all the Chinese people and leave only the foreigners. This would provide better control.

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

"The robbers are very good at it."

"Maybe a repeat offender."

Zhang Yong said to himself thoughtfully.

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

Of course, he was just guessing.

After all, more than ten years have passed, and Sun Guizhi might have died long ago.

During the more than ten years of war and chaos, what does it mean if one person dies? So many heroes have become nothing but dirt in these ten years.

There is only negotiation.

Agree to the robbers' conditions and rescue the hostages.

As long as the robbers have no hostages in hand, they can be dealt with slowly in the future. This was the case with the previous Lincheng train robbery.

"What conditions did the robbers propose?"

"not yet."

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

"not yet."

"oh……"

Zhang Yong frowned secretly.

What are the robbers planning? Are they stalling for time?

strangeness……

In fact, what scares me most about kidnapping is long nights and lots of dreams.

The longer the time, the more irreversible variables there are. There may also be conflicts within oneself.

Especially collective kidnapping.

It is easy for internal conflicts to break out. The fortress will be breached from within.

The robbers had no reason to do this...

eccentric.

Something feels wrong.

However, I can't tell what is wrong at the moment.

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

"The foreigners elected British Minister Anderson as their plenipotentiary representative to discuss and handle this matter."

"Anderson..."

Zhang Yong thought about it and found that it was actually a good thing.

Anderson is also an acquaintance. It may be easier to communicate with him in the future.

However……

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

"Isn't there a reward?"

"not yet."

"Forget it."

Zhang Yong shook his head. There was no reward. There was no motivation.

Not even tens of thousands of dollars. Who is willing to step forward?

These foreigners are also ignorant. As long as there is a reward of tens of thousands of dollars, someone will be ready to take action.

Thinking of Mei Lu...

Thinking of Catherine...

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

Luo Yiming said goodbye and left.

Marshal Cao did not send anyone. He seemed to have forgotten about it.

Zhang Yong wished nothing would happen. He just wanted to sleep now.

Nothing happened all night.

bath.

sleep.

The first half of the night was fine. I slept very soundly. But in the second half of the night I woke up and couldn't sleep.

It's hard to sleep alone.

The long night.

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

Mei Lu could not be found again.

well……

I drifted off to sleep. Suddenly the phone rang.

"Ring ring ring..."

"Ring ring ring..."
