Chapter 1414: Stolen collector

After more than two hours, the chief returned. He whispered, "I have inquired about some situations. These locals know who the Germans. Because the Germans have also come here before."
Lin Rui nodded, "So, do they know where the Germans are locked?"
"I don't know. But they said someone might know." The chief whispered. "There is a person near here who specializes in collecting stolen goods. Some people have seen him selling some items recently, including some electronic products. This kind of stuff is not common in it, and it should be those Germans."
Jiang An nodded, "Recently, the US and Russian forces have intensified their aerial strikes. The smuggling of crude oil on which extremist organizations depend for their livelihood has been hit hard. Some militants have run out of money, so it is very likely that militants have taken the hostages. And then resold them to the sellers. These people should have long-term contacts. Perhaps we can find some clues through the sellers."
Lin Rui nodded, "Who is that stolen seller and where is it?"
"It was in a nearby village. The man turned out to be an armed militia, but after he quit, he started some small business. Because of the war, prices soared, and many necessities became lucrative goods. There are almost the same people in this town. Everyone knows him, so they should not admit their mistakes." The chief said.
"Okay, well done." Lin Rui nodded, "What about the car?"
"This is no way. There are a few cars in the town, but they belong to the militiamen. They don’t want to sell them. On the contrary, there are several donkey carts, they are willing to sell, but they don’t need money, and they want to use these donkey carts for weapons and ammunition. "The chief said helplessly.
"Forget it, let them keep those donkey carts." Lin Rui said helplessly.
"What do we do? Do we need to grab it?" Sergey frowned, "I have observed them, but they are only more than 20 people, and they are out of equipment. Robbing them is as simple as grabbing a lollipop from a kindergarten kid ."
"We are not robbers. And believe me, in this place, as a last resort, don't fight with the local armed forces." Crazy Horse shook his head.
Lin Rui nodded, "Crazy Horse is right, we are not robbers. We will think of a solution for this."
The chief quickly said, "I haven't finished yet. Although they don't have a car, I got a motorcycle."
"Motorcycle?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Civilian tricycles are imported from China." The chief nodded, "I have parked outside."
Lin Rui frowned and said, "Can it be used? Take me over and see." After he saw it, he knew what it was, but it was just a small agricultural three-wheeler. Although it is a bit rusty, it can barely be opened.
"What's the joke, just this car?" Crazy Horse asked in amazement.
"The price is not cheap." The chief said helplessly, "but we can drive this car to find the stolen goods collector. It is said that he has a small truck for stolen goods."
"Damn, I don't want to ride in such a car. The last time I rode this broken motorcycle was outside Baghdad. That time, I was stunned by this car alive. Can you believe it? Former Army Special Forces A member of, was actually caused by the broken car to get motion sickness, and then vomited all the way." Crazy Horse shook his head.
"This car can't fit so many of us." Lin Rui frowned, "Sergey, you take the chief and biscuits with you. Try not to disturb other people. Take advantage of the darkness and bring that guy. come."
"Why me?" Sergey frowned. "You still have so many people."
"Because you are clever." Lin Rui shook his head, "Crazy horse motion sickness, Yelena and Snake Eye are snipers. I need an actuary to stay and ensure timely communication and intelligence analysis with the headquarters. Sausage is a newcomer, how to lead the team Sandro is not good at silent action. Guns and Roses are Israelis. Do you expect them to communicate with the Arabs? So stop talking nonsense and go back quickly. Please look like an old team member and take care of the two newcomers. "
Sergey murmured and stepped into the car, greeted Biscuits and the chief on the road. The dilapidated three-wheeled motorcycle gave a convulsive tremor, and then shook off.
"Okay, the rest of them rest and take turns in order to be on guard." Lin Rui waved his hand and whispered.
"Lin Rui." Jiang An suddenly called him and beckoned to him.
"What's wrong?" Lin Rui walked over.
"I received the information from Kobain. It should be the latest information provided by the Germans." Jiang An whispered, "The intelligence shows that those extremists have acted, and they have asked for a ransom."
Lin Rui frowned and thought for a while, "According to time estimates, it is normal for these extremists to ask for a ransom at this time. On the contrary, if they don't ask for it, the situation will be complicated."
"I think so too. And this is still beneficial to us." Jiang An whispered, "The continuous air strikes by the United States and Russia have dealt a heavy blow to extreme terrorists. They lack funds now, so they have become crazy. .
It has become common practice in the Middle East to kidnap hostages and then exchange or sell them to other organizations. During and after the Iraq War, this phenomenon was common in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Now, this phenomenon has spread to Syria.
Taking hostages is an easy way to make money. General European countries such as Italy, Spain and France usually pay millions of dollars in ransoms. If the hostages come from countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, these countries generally do not pay ransom, so the hostages are likely to be executed or displayed publicly for political purposes.
Fortunately, the target we are rescuing this time is the Germans, so this terrorist will not immediately resort to extreme measures before receiving the ransom. This undoubtedly gave us more time. "
"Yes, from this point of view, it is more or less beneficial to us. But the most important thing is that those hostages must insist on their false identities. Once the extremists discover that they are members of the German government and involve immigration policy formulation If they do, they will change their minds and use hostage killings to show their position and make Germany and other European countries abandon Syrian refugees." Lin Rui whispered.
"This is also the last situation our employers want to see." Jiang An said in a low voice.
Lin Rui was silent for a while and whispered, "Wait and see, wait for Sergey and the others to come back and see if you can dig out some useful information from the stolen collector. If you can know where the hostages are being held, We can take action as soon as possible."
