Lin Rui and others walked around Duramo for a few times and found nothing unusual at first. Like many small towns in North Africa, this place is dirty, noisy, and full of unrest. Black children running around in the streets, armed men with live ammunition.
The streets are all dirt, and locals often walk by with their cattle. That cow is as thin as a human being.
However, they still discovered some unusual places. There was a deserted farm to the east of the town, a place that even local black people rarely went there. The walls outside are all made of simple wooden boards, some of which have long been mottled and rotten, and the weeds are almost half as tall as a person. But just beside such a deserted farm, a group of armed men gathered.
Lin Rui was careful not to get close to it, but just checked it from a distance. On the road leading to the farm, he found some tire tracks. The climate here is dry, it rarely rains, and the tire tracks of passing vehicles often remain.
Lin Rui frowned as soon as he touched it with his hand. This was the tire mark of a large load-carrying vehicle, and the mark was very deep. It cannot be pressed out by ordinary farm vehicles. He thought for a while and decided that it was better not to approach easily so as not to alarm the people on the farm.
Back at the round location, Lin Rui discussed it with Jiang An, Wang Haoze and others. They all felt that nothing was suspicious except the farm.
So Jiang An found a local and wanted to ask about the situation. But as soon as the locals saw their appearance, they immediately shut their mouths tightly and refused to ask any questions. Later, a more courageous local black man told them some things after receiving ten yuan from Jiang An. Generally speaking, there is a large group of armed men stationed there, at least several hundred people.
Because that place is close to the border, these armed men often come in and out, and it seems to have set up a temporary camp there.
"No one cares about them here?" Wang Haoze asked strangely.
"No one should dare to take care of it. Durlamo is a small place, with only three cities in total. The so-called autonomy means that a few influential local clan armed forces maintain some security. With those people, they can Can you stop the secret society?" Lin Rui shook his head.
"But what are they doing hiding in a remote farm?" Jiang An frowned.
"I don't know, but the location of this farm should be Duchess Philland's land. They should be planning something there. But if this land is developed, people from Exxon Mobil Oil Company will move in and plan Mining, building oil wells and pipelines, etc. No matter what the people in the secret society plan to do there, they will not be able to do it." Lin Rui sighed and said, "I think this is the real purpose of their kidnapping."
"Then why did they ask for ransom again?" Wang Haoze frowned, "This is unreasonable. Why didn't they just kill Duchess Philland?"
"You are stupid. European nobles like them all have heirs. Especially for nobles with high titles, their heirs are lined up several times while they are alive. As soon as Duchess Philland dies, she will immediately Someone will inherit her title and land. It will be of no use to them to kill the duchess, and they will get into big trouble." Jiang An shook his head.
"So they took advantage of the kidnapping and negotiated with people from ExxonMobil, making them think it was just a simple kidnapping. Then they secretly evacuated while talking. I found traces of trucks outside the farm. , indicating that they are trying to transport something out. I think this is their purpose." Lin Rui whispered.
"You are saying that that farm is one of their bases, and that there are some important items hidden in it. The oil development projects of Duchess Philanthropy and ExxonMobil have endangered this. So in order to cover up this Base and had enough time to transfer supplies, they kidnapped the duchess?" Wang Haoze said in disbelief, "What on earth are they hiding that is so important?"
"I don't know either, but I will figure it out soon." Lin Rui looked at his watch and said, "I have already surveyed the perimeter several times. Although the place is heavily guarded, there are still opportunities to take advantage of it at night. Let¡¯s go over together and check out the situation.¡±
Jiang An nodded, "Yes, they just made a ransom demand on Exxon Mobil Oil Company. They definitely didn't expect us to come to their door so soon. This place is rarely visited during the day, and it will be even quieter at night. Long term When on duty in such an environment, the guards will be somewhat lax."
"I'm still a little worried. After all, we don't know where the hostages are yet. Would it be too risky for us to rush in like this?" Wang Haoze frowned.
"Yes, it is very risky. But currently we don't have anyThere are other better ways. Lin Rui sighed, "If we don't go in and inquire, we will never know where the hostages are, and we don't have much time." Excluding today, we only have five days. And I doubt they will simply take the ransom and let him go. Maybe they will really get rid of Duchess Feililan, and then naturally pass the responsibility to a local clan armed force. This is the secret society's consistent practice. "
Shogi nodded and said, "It's very possible, that's why they set the ransom so low. It makes people feel that they are just local militants who have never seen much of the world. In this way, Exxon Mobil Oil Company will Be patient and talk to them. They will have enough time to transport the items in that base."
"If Duchess Philland must be eliminated after the incident is completed, they must have found a scapegoat. Everything is under their control." Wang Haoze thought for a while.
"Yes, that's it." Lin Rui smiled, "Unfortunately, everything is not under their control, at least they have ignored our existence. At present, they do not know that we are here. This is our opportunity. If we can find information about the Duchess and the other hostages inside, then we will have plenty of time to organize a rescue."
¡°But what if it fails?¡± Wang Haoze hesitated.
"If it fails, not only the hostages will die, but also the three of us." Lin Rui sighed, "No matter what the people of the secret society hide here, it must be a huge secret. They We won't let anyone who knows this get away alive. So we have to be very careful in our actions tonight. Once we alert them, it's all over."
