Chapter 3100
It is not a glorious thing for a dozen people who have been missing for a whole day to be thrown at the gate of the embassy in this way. Thomas hurriedly ordered his men to carry these people into the yard of the embassy first, and then remove their hoods and ropes.
After counting the heads, it was found that one of them returned in good condition.Back in the house, Thomas called the doctor to check their injuries, but found that they were basically just bumps and scrapes, and there was nothing serious about them.
The only unlucky ghost with a shoulder injury was said to have been injured by the opponent with a short stick during resistance. After examination by the doctor, he thought it might be a broken collarbone and he needed to rest for a while to recover.
But it is a blessing in misfortune that no manpower was lost in the process.
From the way they were "sent" back, it basically confirmed the previous guesses of Simao and Thomas, that is, the disappearance of these people was not a supernatural event, nor was it a collective desertion, but was kidnapped and taken away while performing a mission.
Seeing their disheveled faces, although Simao was full of anger, he didn't blame them. Instead, he asked people to bring food and hot water to fill their stomachs first.
After these people gobbled it up, Simao asked, "So who can tell me what happened to you outside today?"
This group of people had already discussed their experiences when they were locked in the warehouse, so they had a relatively clear understanding of the whole incident, even if the leader explained the situation.
According to their understanding, Tan Tianming and the Xing Tao office were undoubtedly one of the participants in the ambush.
Because they tracked the target separately from the Sanya School of Administration and the Xingdao Office, but the approximate location where they were finally ambushed was in the wharf area on the upper reaches of the Linchun River.
That place was far away from the downtown area of Sanya. Tan Tianming and the people in the office deliberately lured them there to get off the car, and then they were captured by the other party's ambush.
Although there were more than a dozen of them, but because they acted in batches, the other party calculated the time and squatted in the same place, and they were all arrested batch after batch.
The place where they were imprisoned afterwards can be deduced from the environment that it should be in a certain warehouse, but they were all covered with black cloths when they were captured and sent out, and the carriage that transported them deliberately went around a lot on the road , It is impossible to confirm the specific location of the warehouse.
The entire process of being entrapped by the other party was actually not much different from what the embassy had speculated, but after they supplemented some of the details by themselves, they understood how the other party caught all these dozen people in one go.
Obviously, the other party has already grasped the way of action on the Portuguese side, knowing that they will follow Tan Tianming and the people from the Xingdao office going out in batches, and know the number of people participating in the tracking operation on the Portuguese side, so they have formulated such a targeted plan. ambush plan.
The embassy thought that the enemy was in the dark, but they never imagined that the actual situation was the other way around. The one who was really in the open and didn't know how to guard against it was actually himself.
The other party did the calculations intentionally and unintentionally, and they were completely led by the other party, and the whole process was tightly controlled by the other party.
The most important thing is that even though they know that Tan Tianming and the Xingdao Office are participants, there is no evidence to prove this, and it is impossible to raise a criminal case, let alone go to the government to publicly sue the other party.
The more Simao listened, the more aggrieved he became. He knew that the surveillance plan he made had been completely defeated by the other party, and it would be very difficult for the embassy to use similar means to deal with Xing Tao in the future.
But what he is most concerned about at the moment is another detail, which is related to whether his side will have a handle in the opponent's hands.
"Then what questions did they ask, and how did you respond?" Simao asked eagerly.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and subconsciously shook their heads.
From the moment they were caught until they were released at night, the other party did not ask them any questions.
During their detention, they also imagined how they would respond if they were pressed by the other party about surveillance operations.But all the psychological construction was in vain, because the other party had no intention of interrogating them at all.
Simao and Thomas looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Simao was still not reconciled, and continued to ask: "Then did you ask you to bring anything back? Or make any requests?"
The answer is still no, it seems that the kidnappers have no intention of communicating with them at all.
The other party secretly formulated an action plan, took a lot of risks, and finally succeeded in arresting them, but they just locked them up for a day and let them go. where?
Simao and Thomas really couldn't figure it out now. The other party kidnapped more than a dozen people in one go. They didn't extort money, didn't interrogate information, and didn't use this to intimidate them. What kind of message is this trying to convey?
"Maybe the other party just wants to show us their muscles, so as to warn us not to engage in similar activities again?" Thomas can only imagine the other party's intentions in a positive way, otherwise it will be impossible to explain the other party's behavior.
However, Simao always felt that there were some reasons unknown to him that made the other party end the incident in this way.
Because according to his understanding of Xing Tao, whether it is Roger or Tan Juren, they are extremely tough people with the outside world. Now that they have already made a move, it is unlikely that it will end so hastily.
Simao expressed his doubts, Thomas thought about it, and put forward another hypothesis.
"According to the information we have, there are not so many people available in the Xingdao office, and Tan Tianming is alone. He usually doesn't even have a follower. Although they participated in the operation, they may not be led by them. The real caller may be another person." There are people."
"Perhaps the people who made the decision didn't want to affect the diplomatic relations with our country because of this matter, so they didn't hit our people hard. Sending people back is just a hint. Maybe after a while, we may get some help from other channels. Received some formal admonitions."
Even if Thomas was beaten to death, he would never have guessed that Shao Tianhu, who was in charge of the operation, actually planned to give these people some hardship. He didn't intend to let them go like this, but was stopped temporarily.
Of course, it is still unknown whether the Ministry of Security, which really controls the overall situation, will take advantage of this opportunity to warn the Portuguese embassy through other channels.
Simao shrugged helplessly and said: "It must be admitted that we lost to Haihan in this matter, but fortunately, the matter did not develop to the point of unmanageable, and our people returned safely."
Thomas didn't answer his words, but silently raised his hand and made a sign of the cross on his chest.
After counting the heads, it was found that one of them returned in good condition.Back in the house, Thomas called the doctor to check their injuries, but found that they were basically just bumps and scrapes, and there was nothing serious about them.
