Emergency Doctor Mercenary Road: Chapter 229 Finding a needle in a haystack to save Laura
Chapter 229 Finding a needle in a haystack to save Laura
Ten days later, under the setting sun on the top of Qinghu Mountain, Lu Fei was squinting at the golden peaks on the other side of Lake Tahoe. A Qianqiansu hand stretched out to cover his eyes, Lu Fei opened his mouth lazily, and a Grapes fell into his mouth. The growing gray ball on his left roared in dissatisfaction, and reluctantly lowered his head and took a bite of corn.
Lu Fei has taken his girlfriend Levry for a week's vacation at the lakeside ranch in his hometown. Every day, the days are mixed in the autumn colors by the lake, and he is so comfortable that he has no friends. However, he was a little bit restless and wanted to sleep whenever he was free.
With nothing to do on vacation, just have some fun. Recently, he has become obsessed with parkour. He runs down from the woods on the top of the mountain in the early morning every day. He runs up and down the treetops, steps, and boulders quickly, and is scratched by branches from time to time, but his skin is thick. The flesh is thick, the ability to resist attacks is excellent, and there is at most a red mark on the body.
For this, his mother Sally scolded him a lot. Such an adult is still like a monkey, jumping up and down, not serious. Let Levery take good care of him. S was reluctant to scold him. It wasn't a bad hobby anyway, and it was never a bad thing to love sports. Anyway, as long as Lu Fei didn't take risks and was tired of being with himself every day, it was enough.
The brothers of the wild fox are also doing well in Los Angeles. Bell and Monica are planning to get married at the end of the year and are preparing for the wedding. Fanny has also bought a house in Beverly Hills and has been busy renovating recently.
The brothers held two conference calls, and everyone was a little nervous and not very spirited. Lu Fei knew that they all contracted a very serious disease, it was called toiled life!
In the past, I was desperately taking tasks to make money, but now I have nothing to do but I have nothing to do, and my heart hurts.
Lu Fei stood up from the reclining chair when the sun was about to go down, patted Gray Ball's head and prepared to go to the kitchen to make dinner. Since coming to Qinghu Mountain for vacation, Levery has not done anything. It was claimed that it was not delicious, so Lu Fei had to cheer up, and every day he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach to cook various cuisines. Today, it's Hangbang cuisine with thick red sauce, and David and his mother will also come to eat.
He had just put on his apron in the kitchen, "Tingle Bell" when the phone rang.
was the conference call that the captain invited him to attend, and Lu Fei answered the phone.
"Brothers, now have an emergency conference call, everyone is fine, it only takes 3 minutes." Captain Bell said.
The brothers greeted each other on the phone, making sure everyone was online.
Bell's slightly excited voice came: "You also know that the company has not sent us tasks recently, it is because they are all routine protection tasks, which are too ordinary. Now it can be regarded as a big task, and I will listen to everyone's opinions. Do you want to take it.
Here's the thing: Afghanistan is currently facing elections, the situation is very tense, and the terrorists are very active. A few days ago, the Taliban kidnapped Laura, a female NBS reporter, and put forward a series of political conditions to the US and Afghan authorities. If they cannot be met, she will be executed live five days later from today.
The father of the female reporter Laura is a media giant. He contacted the American army in Afghanistan, hoping that they can rescue Laura quickly, but the army is not willing to fight for her, and only promises to cooperate with the action. Her father had no choice but to offer tens of millions of dollars and found our company. He wanted the best team to rescue Laura, and if they succeeded in rescuing her, they would add another tens of millions.
On this matter, I think that if you don’t move for a long time, it will not be conducive to our state maintenance, so if you have a task, I want to hear everyone’s opinions, whether to accept this task or not. "
Dewey was the first to answer: "Captain, this is about rescuing the hostages. It's not easy to succeed, but I have no problem with the next mission."
Lu Fei asked cautiously: "I'm fine, but if we get to the hostages and are killed, or if we don't rescue the hostages, the money issue will be forgotten, and the reputation and face will be gone, so either don't. Do it, or say good terms, and don't blame us when the time comes."
The other brothers nodded in agreement, and in case they got to the hostages and had already been killed, there was nothing they could do.
"The employer has already said that as long as he tries his best, he will never blame us. The main thing is that he has asked a lot of questions in the circle, and no one dares to take this order, and Harvey has to ask our opinion before he dares to take it. Agreed, we will go as soon as possible, and do our best to obey the destiny, although we don’t care much about money, but this time the reward is really not small, as long as we go to rescue Laura, the company will give us 1 million each, and if we save it, each person will be 2.5 million.”
Lu Fei said: "Then this mission must be extremely dangerous, but that's fine. Besides saving people, it's exciting."
The brothers laughed and agreed. Let's meet at the Los Angeles airport tomorrow at 4 pm. Webster will send the ammunition and equipment he received, as well as the weapons that the brothers put in the Wild Fox House, to the special plane in Afghanistan.
Everyone chatted for a few more words and hung up the phone. Lu Fei immediately remembered that he had to convince his girlfriend and mother that he was going to go out on a mission.
Lu Fei showed all his means overnight and cooked a table full of Hangbang dishes, including Dongpo Pork and Beggar Chicken. The eating family smiled. In the evening, first pinch and knock to get the mother, sweet words and hard work to get the female vote. Only then did the two hostess let go, and take care that he must not be stubborn, safety first, and then let him pass.
At noon the next day, Lu Fei rushed back to his Rainbow House in Los Angeles, went to the safe room to put all his various weapons into the space ring, and then took the time to go to the suburban gun store to replenish the bullets of the MG42 machine gun, the Mosinna The 7.62mm bullet for the dry and Springfield rifle, and the HKM27 bullet Webster will prepare for him. So many weapons and ammunition may not be used, but more weapons and ammunition will give you more sense of security in a four-war place like Afghanistan.
Then I went to the nearby pharmacy and supermarket to replenish a lot of food, purified water, medicine and chili powder. I especially went to buy 2 more climbing ropes and some climbing equipment in case of emergency. Afghanistan is a mountainous country.
At 4 p.m., Lu Fei appeared at a small military airport on the outskirts of Los Angeles with a large backpack and a gun bag. The brothers then arrived one by one, and everyone didn't have time to greet each other, so they got on the plane and settled down. The plane took off shortly after and flew directly to Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan.
After the plane was pulled up, and the level flight stabilized after ten minutes, Bell greeted everyone to the small conference room and began to report the specific details of the kidnapping case.
"Brothers, come here, let me give a briefing first. The employer this time is Mr. Eric, a media tycoon, and the task is to save his daughter Laura, who was kidnapped by the Taliban. The hostage situation is: age 28, Caucasian , brown hair, 1.7 meters tall and 60 kilograms in weight, everyone will take a look at the photos. She has been kidnapped for 3 days now, and the specific detention address is uncertain.
There is a video of her kidnapping, and the IP address that sent the video is in Kabul, and the place where she was kidnapped is at the International Hotel near the Green Zone in Kabul. That's pretty much all our intelligence. "
"The chances of finding her are too slim, do we need to go to Afghanistan?" Raphael said.
"If she doesn't go, she'll be dead. Let's do our best to obey the destiny." Bell said.
"I'll show you the video sent by the Taliban, Jack, you have strong analytical skills, see if you can find some clues in the video, determine the specific video recording address or other information. Damn, now the United States has The intelligence department and the military don't care, we can only rely on ourselves."
Bell turned on the laptop on the conference room table, inserted a mobile hard disk, and then projected the picture onto the wall through the projector. The sound of the video was also connected to the sound device in the conference room, and then clicked on the laptop to start playing the video.
The video shows a girl in a T-shirt and jeans in a room with white walls. The wall behind it is white and rough, and it looks like it has just been painted with lime. The girl was crying and reading a text.
"I'm Laura from NBS and now I've been kidnapped, please accede to their demands immediately or they will execute me, I don't want to die. Take care of yourself dear dad, my dearest dog loves to stay Attic, don't make it difficult, let him stay there, I love your dad."
The video came to an abrupt end after the woman calling herself Laura read another part of the political demands of the Taliban.
After playing the video, Lu Fei put on his earphones and listened to the sound of the video again, over and over again, and listened to it several times. He pondered for a long time, and said uncertainly: "I heard the faint sound of car horns, barking, dogs barking, and even bells in the background sound. The background was very noisy. I guess the place where the video was recorded should be in The market in the center of the city, where there is a clock tower.”
Fanny opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief, and shook her head: "I can only hear a very slight background sound. This video should have been shot in a closed room. Your ears are too sensitive. I will speak ill of you 30 meters away from you."
Ada nodded and said, "It's fortunate that I have always regarded you as a buddy. Why don't you talk about your ears so good. If you hear us talking about women's secrets, it will be over, hum."
Bell waved his hand and said impatiently, "Go, go, play while you play, don't disturb Jack."
Lu Fei smiled and said: "Laura said in the video that her dog likes to be in the attic, I thought about it, I'm afraid this sentence is not simple, it should have other meanings, captain, you have watched the video before, and she Has your father communicated?"
Bell frowned: "I asked, before going abroad, Laura lived with her father. The two lived in a high-end apartment in New York, and there was no attic at all."
Lu Fei listened to the recording again, but he still didn't give up and insisted on his own opinion. He asked Bell for Laura's father's phone number, and called Laura's father, Eric, on the satellite phone.
The phone rang several times before connecting.
Lu Fei said straight to the point: "Mr. Eric? I'm a member of the Wild Fox Squad in this hostage rescue operation. I'm the military doctor Jack. I take the liberty to ask you a detail of life. Where did Laura live when she was a child? Is there an attic there? ?"
"Hello, Mr. Jack. First of all, thank you for your great support. I remember when I was a child, Laura went to live with my grandparents for a year. My father had a ranch in Oklahoma, and he lived in a ranch villa with an attic."
"Oh, time is running out, we need to find where she's being held right now, Mr. Eric, please contact your parents right away to see what information in the attic intersects with Laura's current life, or what Afghanistan-related information. Tell me anything you find."
"Okay, thank you so much, I'll go get the details and call you later." Eric hurriedly hung up the phone.
On the other side, Eric put down the phone and immediately dialed his father's number, so chickens and dogs jumped in the pasture thousands of kilometers away.
Ten minutes later, Eric called, the phone rang, and Lu Fei picked up the phone.
Eric shouted excitedly: "You're right! Mr. Jack, my dad found an old framed photo in the attic. It's a 1970's downtown photo of Afghanistan in Jalalaba. Filmed in Germany. The main content is the daily life of people in a free market. It can be seen that Afghanistan was very peaceful and prosperous at that time...”
Lu Fei interrupted impatiently: "Stop, is there a clock tower in the photo?"
Eric was surprised: "Yes! You guessed too accurately, the tallest building in the free market is the clock tower."
Lu Fei said anxiously: "You immediately take a clear picture and send it to the captain's mailbox. Mr. Eric, let's pray next, we can't promise anything, but we will do our best to find him, and we will do our best to find him. Do your best to save her life."
Lu Fei hung up the phone with Eric's thousands of thanks, turned his head and shouted excitedly to his brothers: "Jalalabad! If there is a satellite network on the plane, Captain, hurry up and receive the photos in the mailbox, and then Make arrangements for the next task."
Bell raised his thumbs at him and said to everyone: "Jack has found some clues. After I download the email and open the photo, Raphael finds the location in the photo on the Internet, compares the photo with Jack, and listens again. The sound in the video, see if you can judge the orientation. Other brothers, go to bed first."
Ten minutes later, Rafael found a photo of the trade fair in the center of Jalalabad on the geography website, and compared it with the old photo taken by Laura in the email he received, although many local buildings were destroyed by the war. , but it can still be vaguely seen that it is the same place, especially the clock tower is still there. However, it is still impossible to confirm the exact location of the source of the sound in the video.
Anyway Laura mentioned the photo, then there must be something wrong with the location of the clock tower in Jalalabad.
At 7pm on Thursday, October 23, the special plane of PRIS landed at the Mi Army Air Base in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan.
The Wild Fox Squad took a military car and headed for the city. After about an hour, the team drove into the green area.
The green zone here is not Iraq's green zone, it is more dangerous. They were told to stay in the arranged dormitories as much as possible and not go out in case someone attacked them.
Now the political situation in Afghanistan is unstable and the security situation is extremely severe.
