According to the lottery arrangement announced by the event organizer, the entire event is divided into five rounds, and the prizes are also increased from low to high round by round.
The second round of the lottery will produce fifty winners in the same way, and the prize will be five-year tax-free income from fifty acres of land in the Xingdao area.
With the warm-up of the first round of activities, the enthusiasm of Sanya people to participate in the activities has only increased. In order to ensure that they can qualify for the lottery, many people even rushed to Victory Square and set up camp next to the event venue the night before the event.
Although there is still some time before the event starts, a large number of people have already flocked to Victory Square from all over the city. Whether or not to draw a lottery is a secondary matter. Such a huge excitement cannot be missed easily.
Tan Tianming and several people from the Xingdao office were heading farther and farther away from the city instead of Victory Square.
After seeing the gate of the Sanya Shipyard, there is the Sanya Port area in front of it. It is already six or seven miles away from Victory Square. The target that the Portuguese is trying to track still has no intention of stopping, but turns to To the north, travel upstream along the Linchun River.
They have followed so far, and if they stop now, all their efforts will be wasted, and they can only continue to follow them.
After years of development along the Linchun River, it has become one of the important inland river ports in Sanya. The banks of the river are full of large and small docks and warehouses.
Many businesses do not have enough strength to build docks in the port area where land is at a premium, so the more than ten miles long lower reaches of the Linchun River have become a substitute. The cost of building a private dock here is only about one-tenth of that of Victory Port and one-fifth of that of Sanya Port.
Perhaps because most people flocked to the city to watch the lottery, it was very quiet along the Linchun River, and there were no dock workers who used to gather in groups to work on the streets. The further north you go, the sparsely populated you are.
When the two people following Tan Tianming were muttering in their hearts, they saw that the carriage Tan Tianming was riding suddenly turned into a fork in the road and seemed to have reached its destination.
They quickly stopped the car, paid the driver to send him away, and then followed him in from the side road.
The car Tan Tianming was sitting in was parked quietly not far from the intersection, but they saw neither Tan Tianming nor the driver.
The two exchanged glances, tiptoed close to the carriage, and then stood on tiptoe to look inside.
Of course there was nothing in the carriage, but they found that their waists were suddenly pressed against by a sharp hard object.
"Don't move, I'll stab you to death!"
The low voices coming from behind confirmed their current situation. This is probably not a coincidence, but that I have fallen into a trap set by others.
Before they could react further, their arms were twisted by the person behind them with great force, and then a pair of cold, hard shackles were placed on their wrists.
Then the person behind them grabbed their chins, and as soon as they opened their mouths, a ball of cloth was stuffed into them, and then their heads were covered with black cloth.
The other party searched their bodies in a very efficient manner and took away everything they carried.
Although they couldn't see what was going on around them, they could hear another carriage approaching, and then they were grabbed by their hands and feet and thrown into the carriage, and then left the scene of the incident.
The whole process only took a moment, and the two men turned from stalkers to kidnapped ones.
They were driven by the carriage for a long time in a state of anxiety. During this period, they kept turning left and right. It was obvious that the driver was very careful and did not give them a chance to calculate the route of the carriage. Soon they were unable to distinguish the direction they were traveling. and distance. After about two sticks of incense, the carriage finally stopped, and then they were grabbed out of the carriage and thrown heavily to the ground.
But the strange thing is that no one planned to interrogate them. The kidnappers just dropped them on the ground and left. Next they heard the sound of the door closing, as if they were in a certain room at this time.
After a while, the door opened, and several more people were thrown in. It seemed that they were not the only ones who were kidnapped here.
Someone in the room cursed a few words in a low voice in Portuguese, which quickly allowed the two groups of unlucky people who were kidnapped here to confirm each other's identities.
They were both from the Portuguese Embassy, but they were responsible for tracking different targets, but they never expected to meet in this way.
After the two groups of people quickly exchanged information, it was confirmed that they had fallen into the same trap and been captured by unknown people.
Considering the target they were following, the matter was obviously related to Star Island.
However, according to the intelligence they had obtained before this, Xingdao's personnel stationed in Sanya were extremely limited and did not have such action capabilities at all.
Judging from their experiences, setting up an ambush, transporting, and detaining people on the Linchun River would require at least a dozen people to be employed in various aspects. However, the Xingdao Office only had three melons, two dates, and a scholar, Tan Tianming. , how could it be possible to set up such a situation.
While the truth was being deduced, another group of people was thrown into the room. Not surprisingly, the newcomers were also their colleagues and were caught here for the same reason.
Several groups of people checked again and found that the locations of their accidents seemed to be very close, but the time was quite a while apart. This is obviously a careful deployment by the opponent, leaving a safe gap for them to get into the same pocket one after another.
When the fourth group of people were thrown into the house, they basically no longer took any chances. This is almost all the field personnel involved in this surveillance operation. They were performing tasks outside the office and the administrative college. They were cleared by the opponent in a very short period of time. This is really embarrassing.
And until now, they still have not been able to confirm the identity and purpose of their opponent. The only good thing is that, apart from being a bit tough in their arresting methods, their opponents did not deliberately harm any of them, nor did they intend to torture them until now.
Of course, sitting still and waiting was not an option. They quickly managed to get rid of the black cloth covering their heads, and then discovered that there were no lighting objects such as candles in this room. There were only a few open tiles on the ceiling above their heads for lighting, but the height was It's at least two or three feet, and it's simply out of reach.
Then he looked around in the dim light from above. The only thing connecting him to the outside world was an iron door.
Someone went up and tried to hit it with his body a few times, but the iron door did not move at all. There was no switch visible on the door. It seemed that it could only be opened from the outside.
"What the hell is this place!" someone cursed angrily.
Of course they don't know that this is actually one of the secret warehouses under the jurisdiction of the Xingdao Office, which is specially used to receive military supplies for transfer to Xingdao, including some weapons and equipment.
The place they were in was a room specially set aside in the warehouse for the temporary storage of weapons and equipment.
For safety reasons, there are no windows in the entire house, only a heavy iron door. It may be easier to dig a hole in a wall made of blue bricks than to open this door.
However, the hands of these people were handcuffed behind their backs at this time, making it difficult for them to dig holes or open doors.
