Chapter 596: grim~
When John received the news that Mrs. Alisa had lost contact, it was the second night after the incident, and Yin Lisha ran to his villa and cried to him.
"Calm down~ What happened to Madam?" John comforted her by patting her on the back. After all, he has nothing to do right now~
"She went to pay homage to her brother-in-law Nosia, and then she was raided by a group of robbers. In order to let Charlie leave safely, she followed Little Charlie and fled separately, letting the remaining guards take Little Charlie to Carmody Canyon in New Hanover to avoid pursuit. , the letter just arrived at our side tonight. And now my sister is alive or dead~ woo~" Yin Sela said while crying.
"What do we do now?" John asked seriously.
"My sister's family members have already sent someone to pick up little Charlie, but my sister clearly stated in the letter that I will come to you to pick up little Charlie~" Yin Sela said while crying, it seemed that the pear blossoms were raining~
"Looking for me? Didn't they send someone to look for Alisa?" John asked strangely.
"Sent~ But John~ You don't understand~ Some people don't want my sister to come back~ This time they joined forces and didn't want other people to look for my sister. Her." Yin Sela said sobbing.
"Huh?" John was a little puzzled at first.
Seeing this, Yin Sela continued to explain.
"My sister was in charge of all my brother-in-law's property~ Many people have been spying on her business for a long time, but they didn't do anything because of her powerful means and the love of her brother-in-law's parents. After my sister's accident this time, they wanted to extend their hands tonight Into my sister's estate."
"People in your family, do you have any objections?" John asked eagerly.
"That's my sister's family matter. Even if we have opinions, it won't be of much use to my sister's family~ But my father also invited two teams of Pinkerton detectives to search for my sister's trace." Yin Sela took it John wiped away his tears with a handkerchief and said.
John ran his fingers over his eyebrows.
"Let's not talk about this~ On this matter, Mrs. Alyssa asked me to pick up Little Charlie~ And you want me to pick up Mrs. too? You want to be one step ahead of the group that doesn't want Mrs. to come back Have you found Mrs. Alisa?" John must have strongly supported the safe return of Alisa, after all, Mrs. Alisa was his biggest supporter in the political background of Saint-Denis.
As for the other people John has contact with but not deep entanglements, to put it bluntly, the money for the confession is not much~ the one who gave the most is Mrs. Alyssa. Even if John wants to move to other high-level political people, there is a high probability that he will offend Alisa's family members. And although her husband's family may not have a high opinion of John, they will offend them just like grass on the wall, so now he can only stand firmly on the side of Alisa's family, even after Alisa's accident.
"Yes~ not only Little Charlie~ I also hope that my sister can reach the city of Saint-Denis safely~John~I know that they sent a lot of people to prevent my sister from coming back, and they may have even contacted the Pink sent by my father in private Detectives, the death of their sister this time is their only chance for five or even ten years, and they will definitely be desperate this time~" Yin Sela said anxiously.
Yin Sela has read John's profile many times, and Yin Sela feels that no one is better than John's individual combat ability in her knowledge~ The search ability is also first-class. Compared with Pinkerton, who is not sure whether he is loyal or not, John is an unquestionable and staunch supporter of her sister and mother. In addition to lust, John's character is also impeccable~ This is why Alisa mentioned in the letter that Yin Sela must Come to find John's willingness.
"Where's the letter from the guard who escaped with little Charlie?" John asked.
"Here~ I copied a copy. They have already set off, and I'm even a little worried that they might do something to little Charlie~" Yin Sela's eyes are full of worry, which is not unreasonable.
If little Charlie is gone, then even if Alisa comes back, she will still be a widow, no matter how capable the widow is~ those good uncles have countless excuses for Alisa to hand over the family business, and if little Charlie Still alive, his father's things are still his in name, even if he doesn't wait for him to grow up, he can take back a lot of things in a legitimate way.
"Except for this letter~ Didn't anyone escape successfully?" John opened the letter and read it carefully~
"There was also a guard who narrowly escaped death. Most of the others died. He was also seriously injured. I took him back to the villa to settle down~ I had already ordered the housekeeper not to allow anyone to approach before I left." Yin Sela said.
"Well, I'll postpone my trip to Los Angeles and let them go there first, and I'll go alone after I find Mrs. Alisa~" John thought for a while and promised Yin Sela.
"Thank you ~John~" Yin Sela hugged him excitedly to express her gratitude, and John also enjoyed this youthful body.
After confirming his help, John didn't delay, but asked Zheng Guotian to quickly call up a team that could be dispatched~ He also explained to Nick that he was going to find Alisa. After learning the news, Nick just gave John a relieved expression, and didn't have any instructions.
John arranged eight teams of people for Nick and Zheng Guotian, plus their respective cronies, his manpower in Saint Denis City has always been around fifty to sixty people. Because of some cooperation, Zheng Guotian can still draw 20 or 30 people who are willing to help him from the hometown association, so it is no problem for John to allocate half of the staff. With Zheng Guotian's coordination, it is easy to fill in the manpower.
So this time John pulled out four teams to find Mrs. Alisa, that is, twenty people.
After giving the team leader four photos of Mrs. Alisa, John promised that the team that finds Mrs. Alisa will get a reward of one thousand dollars, and the teams that successfully bring people back to Saint Denis will be awarded at least four hundred dollars each. , the captain gets an extra three hundred dollars.
The super high reward instantly boosted the morale of all members of the team~ John took the four teams straight to Alisa’s villa. He needed to take these people to the guard who escaped from death to ask about the situation at that time As well as the battle situation, these are prerequisites that must be known.
A group of more than 20 well-equipped fighters headed for the villa vigorously, making the guards in the villa extremely nervous, but watching Yin Sela and John guards in front relaxed again.
It's not good to disturb the wounded~ But in terms of things now, he must be disturbed. After being awakened from his lethargy, the guard told the battle situation that day without any hesitation~ But unfortunately, he was not the guard who fled with Alisa. He is one of the remaining members.
"That group of robbers was unexpectedly strong, I swear I have never met such a strong robber~ We were almost wiped out, but they didn't have much advantage in numbers, and the guy who took the lead was like the number one on the reward list The famous Dutch Van der Linde~" The guard said weakly what he knew.
John froze for a moment when he heard the name, and then he was a little puzzled~ With Arthur~Hosea's temperament, it is unlikely that they would do something like kidnap a widow for a reward. If it is really Dutch, there is only one possibility, Now this gang, Hosea and Arthur, can no longer talk to each other.
Whose arrival can make Hosea and Arthur lose the right to speak together? John was a little puzzled, but after the guard's description, he understood a little bit. He was able to wipe out almost all the robbers without the advantage of manpower. That's the weird Dutch van der Linde. There are three sharpshooters in a small gang of more than a dozen people, which is very strange.
After listening to the guard's description, John looked at the letter in his hand again. After clarifying the final parting route and the final direction of escape, John headed directly towards the destination provided by the guards with his hands, and also brought the personal letters from Housekeeper Alisa and Yin Sela.
According to the guard's final statement, they had already fled to the border between New Hanover and Ambarino State, and finally parted there, and in the end, in order for Little Charlie to leave safely, Alisa and the last guard even waited for the group of people there. Robber for a while.
The guard guarding Little Charlie was very cautious. He did not specify his exact location in the letter. He only stopped to provide a location for those who were looking for him to wait there. Charlie leaves.
Apparently Alisa had explained in detail when they parted, and she also knew that many people in the family did not want their mother and son to come back alive.
John and the four captains discussed the results of Alisa's possible encounter on the train~
"If it's true what the guards said, in order to let her son escape~ Alisa is very likely to have been caught by the robbers, and Alisa may be in their camp now~" one of the squad leaders analyzed seriously.
"This probability is indeed very high, but let's continue to talk about events with low probability, such as Alisa hiding from the robbers?" John said while drawing circles on the map with a pen~
"Here's the difference~ Little Charlie's ability to leave safely proves that the robbers have gone after Alyssa, because they don't have enough manpower to arrest the two in groups~ If Alyssa really managed to hide, then we We need to face not only the group of powerful robbers ~ but also those who don't want to let An An come back." John drew the area they might need to search on the map.
"They only have four teams on the surface, but there may be more than fifty in private~ And the mountains here are very vast~ If the dozen teams are scattered enough, they may not meet in a week." Another team leader said .
John agrees with his statement~ This mountain range is close to a state from the map, and it is very difficult to find a person hiding in the mountain range.
"Let's go find Charlie and send him back to a safe place first~ and then go find Mrs. Alisa~" John clarified the priority of the destination.
the other side~
Alyssa was applying medicine to the guard in front of him. He was shot. Although it was not fatal, it affected the action~ The group of robbers did let little Charlie go, and instead chased after Alyssa who was easier to capture.
Moreover, they kept chasing after her. A day before, the guards supported Alisa and took her into a rare mountain range to escape.
Along the way, he picked some medicines in his cognition, and took Alisa to hide in the cave. After Alisa took the initiative to help him crush these herbs and apply them on the wound.
Alisa and the guard are both in a state of distress~ Although she is no longer as elegant as before, Alisa's temperament is still there, while the guard is injured
After Alisa helped the guards bandage up, she sat by the small bonfire that was raised. Because it was night and they were in the cave again, the two of them were not afraid of being seen by the smoke.
"Ma'am~ You should take a break and eat something~ I have food in my bag~" the guard said weakly.
"Hmm~" nodded in response, then picked up the bag and looked through it. There were quite a lot of bullets in it, two-thirds were rifle bullets, and the remaining one-third were pistol bullets. There was also a can of meat, and half a pound of beef jerky.
She took out the canned meat and prepared to open it and roast it by the campfire~
But her move was stopped by the guard~ "No~ the smell of canned meat will attract carnivores, coyotes and pumas are both possible, this is too dangerous, ma'am~ beef jerky~" the guard said weakly.
Hearing the guard's explanation, Alisa thought for a while and gave up the tempting canned food ~ handed a piece of beef jerky to the guard.
She couldn't wait to bite, but the firmness of the beef jerky obviously exceeded her usual bite force.
The guard continued to say weakly, "Ma'am, it would be better to boil some water and then soak the beef for a while. You can't cook it together, because it may attract large carnivores." The guard patiently told how to do it.
And Alisa naturally wouldn't complain about the eating environment at this time, because after the explanation, the guard started to chew on the jerky. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Apparently, the guard who had been hungry all day didn't think the jerky was so bad. His suggestion just now was only for Alisa.
And Alisa also followed his suggestion, poured some water from the kettle on the quilt, put it on the bonfire to roast, and when it boiled, she threw the beef jerky into it to soak. Soak for too long.
After soaking for a while, she picked up the jerky and ate it slowly, and finally drank the water in which the jerky was soaked.
After Alisa finished eating, the guard said, "Madam, rest first~ They won't search at night, the forest at night is equally deadly to them, at least until tomorrow morning, we are all temporarily safe."
Alyssa looked at the guard looking weak because of the injury and wanted to say something, but the guard said first, "Don't worry, ma'am, I'm very vigilant, nothing will happen, you'll be safe if you rest inside~ "
Alisa opened her mouth~ Although she felt that the injured guard needed more rest, the exhaustion and pain of fleeing all day prevented her from opening her mouth again. She walked into the cave obediently, and then found a softer place Lie down, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
