Chen Ou turned around and found that everyone else was on the phone, trying various ways, but the situation in the area where they were now was very pessimistic.
He observed the foreigners who were also imprisoned here, and one of them cursed secretly, which he could understand.
What that person probably meant was that they had to pay to go out now. If they didn't pay, they didn't know how long they would be locked up here, and the armed men would rush in at any time.
Just as he was observing the man, the man on the opposite side rushed over and grabbed him. This shocked him. He reacted quickly and pinned the man down with a single grab.
"What the hell are you doing?"
The man quickly raised his hand to show that he had no ill intentions and kept shaking his head. Chen Ou saw that he was just an ordinary person, and after all, he easily held him down.
This guy doesn't know how to block many basic things. It seems like he really misunderstood. However, in this chaotic place, he also reacted subconsciously when faced with a stranger who suddenly rushed over.
The man explained in English next to him. This was the only language he knew. Fortunately, Chen Ou could understand it. "Don't get me wrong. I don't have any ill intentions. I just want to inquire about the situation. My wife is still outside. I don't know what happened."
"Sorry, we can't help you, now we've been caught too."
"How is this possible? You are from the Yan Kingdom. You should not be treated differently here. You should be taken out by them."
Chen Ou shook his head. Seeing that the man did not have any ill intentions, he told him the situation on his side. When the man heard this, he completely knelt down. He knew that there was no hope now.
By the way, Chen Ou also inquired about it. Only then did he know that it had been a week since the man was brought to this place because he had never been able to hand over the deposit, which is what they call money. He had really experienced everything from the peace at the beginning to the present. It was a mess.
At first, everyone thought that there should be no fight, but as time went by, the conflicts between the armed elements became more and more serious. If they really broke through this last line of defense, the local government troops would not care at all. them.
The man was grabbing his hair very nervously, and his eyes showed despair, because if he wanted to change money, he couldn't get it at all now.
Chen Ou had no choice. Now he could only go back to He Chenguang. After everyone worked together for a long time, they couldn't even come up with 100 yuan, let alone 300 yuan.
Seeing this, Li Erniu yawned, found a comfortable place, lay down directly, threw his hat under him, and prepared to sleep on it.
Ah Cheng just felt that this guy was too ambitious. Even in this situation, he still wanted to sleep here.
"I asked you to think of a way. Now that all of us have been caught, we need to think of a way to get out of this hellish place."
"I think you don't need to worry about it. Don't worry, our brother Qin will come to us. We have left clues, and he will definitely be able to find it."
Chen Ou just punched the opposite wall secretly. Now he felt very aggrieved and unconvinced. Why did he know that there was a powerful motherland behind him and they couldn't do this.
In this way, Qin Yuan did not find many clues until the next morning. He always had a bad feeling in his heart and planned to go back to take a look. Sure enough, when he returned to the previous courtyard, he found that the courtyard door was wide open. , there was chaos inside.
But he didn't worry too much. He knew that He Chenguang and the others would definitely leave clues for him, so he started looking everywhere.
I only saw some vague handwriting carved on stones on the pillar next to it. The clues on it were also very limited. The approximate number of people was drawn with symbols. He Chenguang did not leave any specific information. He could only explain these. .
Qin Yuan hurried to the outside and saw the shadow of the car and some messy footprints. It was indeed very easy to inquire about this place, except for the young men who were taken away.
Now in this town, most people are old people, women and children. After dawn, many people come out to find some life outside.
At this time, Qin Yuan saw an old man worshiping next to him. He had found the wheel marks of the car before, but they completely disappeared behind him. The roads here were very complicated, so he could only see if he could find it on the local people. What clues were found.
The moment the old man saw Qin Yuan, he subconsciously ran outside. Qin Yuan quickly reached out and pulled him.
"Old man, don't run away. I'm not a bad person. I just want to ask you about the situation."
But how could the old man care about so many duties and be willing to take out the money from his hand? The old man stopped. In this war situation, prices in their country have risen crazily.
Although they knew they would die if they came out, everyone had the same purpose and wanted to see if they could find any opportunities. Otherwise, they would not be able to buy anything anymore and would really starve to death.
The old man turned his head in fear. Qin Yuan asked him to relax first. There was absolutely no malice.
"I just want to ask a few people in the yard over there. Did you see it yesterday? Who took him away? You only need to provide me with this information, and the money will be yours."
The old man was actually a little worried. He was worried that it would cause him trouble, so he was struggling. At this time, Qin Yuan took out his backpack again. It was all filled with compressed biscuits and some cans. These foods are very important now. That is undoubtedly a life-saving straw.
"I can tell you, but you can't share my information with them. I just want to protect my family."
Qin Yuan nodded and promised again and again that he would find the temporary base of the government troops under the old man's instructions.
When he came to their door, he found that there was already a long queue at the door. The whole scene could be said to be noisy. Many people were arrested. These people came to pay bail, and there were various To apply for certification.
More importantly, there was an unexploded bomb stuck on the upper left side of the gate. The bomb was shaky and looked shocking, but a simple cordon was set up around it to prevent people from passing by.
This is indeed a bit surprising. Looking inside, I saw a scrapped vehicle parked next to it. The vehicle was covered with stalls, and the walls were also beaten into a mess.
Just when Qin Yuan stretched his head and looked inside, a heavily armed soldier came over, holding a gun and yelling loudly.
"Stand back, this is not something you should see, stand back and queue up at the back!"
Qin Yuan took a look at the situation behind him and said, "Wait, if you wait in line slowly, then who knows what will happen. It will all have to wait until the evening."
As the saying goes, money can make all the difference, and it is also more generous. In addition to money, there is also a pack of cigarettes. Now cigarettes are hard currency here, and many things cannot be bought.
Sure enough, the soldier's eyes lit up when he saw the thing, and he walked towards him with a smile, and his attitude immediately changed.
After Qin Yuan paid him the favor, the soldiers took him in first. This made the people in line behind him dissatisfied and kept shouting, asking why he was allowed in?
The soldiers ignored him at all, cursed a few times, and then pointed their guns at the people around them and shut their mouths instantly. Qin Yuan could only lament that money is the hard currency in this place.
Qin Yuan's journey was smooth and he came directly to the office. As soon as he entered, he felt that the inside was even more chaotic. There were people writing certificates everywhere, and some were crying bitterly while holding the forms.
There were others who were aggrieved and some who were dragged in the corner and beaten. The situation was really chaotic.
At this time, Qin Yuan also noticed a few people detained nearby. They were very obvious in the cell on the side. As soon as Qin Yuan walked over, Chen Ou ran over.
"Captain Qin, I'm very sorry. I caused trouble for you again. I originally wanted to take care of them, but I didn't know such a thing happened."
"Stop talking about this, I will find a way to take you out now."
While several people were talking, the translator came over again, followed by the officer who had negotiated with them before.
This officer was very disdainful, with an indifferent attitude, and a cigarette in his mouth, "It seems there are still people outside you."
When the translator was about to speak, Qin Yuan stopped him directly and communicated with him in fluent local dialect. When he came to the officer, he was a little surprised.
"What I'm more curious about now is why are you detaining my people? You have to know that all our documents are legal."
The officer didn't expect Qin Yuan to dare to question him, but after thinking about it, maybe the person behind him didn't dare to offend him directly. He rolled his eyes and changed his explanation.
"That's because they were at the scene when we were searching for a group of armed criminals. They must have colluded with those people. We also have direct evidence, so we can only arrest them first."
"Oh! Then tell me where your evidence is?"
"I'm sorry, I can't reveal this evidence to you, but as I just said, if you pay the deposit, you can be sure of your innocence, and I can let you go."
Qin Yuan cursed secretly in his heart, they are really a bunch of bastards who will do anything for money. If they really colluded with those armed elements, would they do it just for money?
If you let people out casually, who will protect the people outside? These guys are really eating people without spitting out their bones, but this is not a matter in their own area, and Qin Yuan doesn't want to care about it, he wants to save his people.
Just when he was about to take the money, Chen Ou yelled next to him.
"Captain Qin, you have to think clearly. You must not allow this kind of person to continue to develop. Look at what he means. He just needs money to get used to it."
"Otherwise, do you think I have any other options? I can only use money to take you out first. The rules of this place are like this, and there is nothing I can do."
"We can contact the embassy now, contact the local area, contact there to communicate with them, and let our Ministry of Foreign Affairs talk to them."
Qin Yuan only felt funny when he heard this. It seemed that Captain Chen had never handled any international tasks, so he spoke so arrogantly.
"Brother! Think carefully about where this place is. We are waiting for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to wait for various approvals. We have to wait for them to negotiate. They can find any crime to cover us up. Now money is the most important thing. Good solution, understand?”
Chen Ou still wanted to say something, but he knew that what Qin Yuan said did make sense. If this matter was made bigger, it would be bad for them.
He was really unconvinced by just giving money to those guys, but Qin Yuan told him that it didn't matter.
"Anyway, the money doesn't belong to me. Yesterday, we successfully solved a small armed gang. The money that was targeted at us before belongs to them. You can use it as you like."
He said it so easily that Chen Ou doubted whether it was true, but seeing the backpack he was carrying, Chen Ou had to believe it.
300 per person was not a big problem for Qin Yuan, but after they came out, Li Erniu came to him and told him that his passport had not been returned yet.
"Brother Qin, these bastards took away our passports, and now we don't have any identification."
Just when Qin Yuan was asking for the money he had just received to earn a year, the proud officer said: "Huh? I'm sorry, I didn't hear clearly. Don't you just want people? If you want a passport, you have to pay extra. "
What! This is really despicable. No matter what it is, they can get money for it, and they have this intention of collecting money. If they want a passport, they have to pay more.
Chen Ou felt very aggrieved, but Qin Yuan felt that if it could be solved with money, he would try his best to solve it.
Qin Yuan quickly threw down a wad of money, and soon took out his passport from the drawer next to him. However, the man was still looking at Qin Yuan's backpack greedily, but Qin Yuan did not want to push it too far.
Fortunately, the man had no next move, otherwise he would really take action directly. He urged Chen Ou to leave quickly, and he always had a bad feeling.
Chen Ou was divided. He felt that it was a waste to spend so much money, and since these were government troops, he would definitely ask for an explanation later.
"Hurry up and get out first. See if he can use the money to get out alive!"
Qin Yuan pushed a few people while talking. They just walked out and saw a long queue outside. Those people were very helpless. They didn't have much money, so they could only queue up, but everyone inside was Some vampires.
"So how is your investigation going now? Where should we go now?"
"It's still the same plan as before. First find a place to settle you down, and then I'll go investigate. I only investigated a few clues before, but not much."
