639 Narrow Encounter
Lin Xiuxuan received 20 yuan in the Wen family's account room and left. The Japanese forbade the circulation of cash in the market, and could only use waste paper such as central reserve notes and reserve tickets, but the Wen family was not subject to this restriction and hid a lot of precious metals. In order to show his generosity, Mayor Wen specially instructed the account office to give Dayang.
Lin left the Wen family house and went to the Shunde Hotel. Drone communication informed that the Japanese checkpoints in the British Concession had been removed, and it seemed that there was no danger of going back. It's just that there are Japanese cars assembled in Yanhaihe, but they are not here to search, and they seem to want to move the Western expatriates from the concentration camp.
Lin threw the fortune-telling box and the half-immortal banner into the Xinkai River, these things no longer meant anything to him. For him, it is now roughly clear in which direction the Japanese are putting pressure on Wen Shizhen, thus ending the stage of having no target. His instincts told him that they must have caught something before they crashed into the Japanese salvage ship in the East China Sea. It is likely to be information involving chemical and biological weapons. Judging from the information obtained from Wen Shizhen, the scale is not enough to produce nuclear weapons, and if it is a nuclear weapon, it should first build a power plant and a factory building. In other words, the traverser or Kagesa Zhenzhao is very likely to appear there. UAVs can't identify individuals on the ground, so they have to ask submarines to send equipment, and Lu Qingshan is very suitable for this kind of field reconnaissance, once an important target appears, it can be killed immediately.
Guoyong Jinqiao really did not have too strict checks. It was easy to enter the British Concession. In the distance, dozens of trucks can be seen parked along the river. Thousands of white Westerners are shoving, kicking and beating the following squad to get on the bus. It seems to be part of the farce of the puppet government co-starring with the Japanese: Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity. The Westerners of the Japanese gendarmerie were often reprimanded, and all luggage that exceeded the size was not allowed to be taken away, and they were snatched and thrown to the ground, and every time they snatched the suitcases in the hands of these white people, the Chinese watching next to them would cheer and applaud. I don't know if it was the childcare invited by the puppet government, or if I really thought from the bottom of my heart that the Japanese had taken back the concession for me. As a matter of fact, for more than a year, he has observed that the common hatred and hatred of the people in the occupied areas have been imperceptibly divided under the propaganda of the enemy and the hypocrisy. Looking at the lively crowd, a few children rushed out and snatched the luggage of the expatriates who were lost on the ground, and the Japanese soldiers did not care.
According to Lin's historical records, these Westerners would be sent to a concentration camp for Allied expatriates in Weifang, Shandong Province, and a third of them would not survive until the end of the war.
He returned to the deserted middle street. After the expulsion of Westerners, there were hardly any people to be seen on this bank street. Although the gates of the bank are stamped with the gendarmerie, they are still guarded by Indian guards. These people turned out to be British minions, and in a blink of an eye, they became Japanese minions. According to the tactics of the Japanese, they now belong to the Indian Provisional Government of Chandra Bose, of course, it is not known whether Bose is dead or alive. 419 never confirmed his death, except for intercepted Allied telegrams speculating that Bose may have been picked up by a Japanese submarine after his defeat.
He approached the gate of the Shunde Hotel and found that there was a car parked at the door.
He walked in, and the guy at the counter was still dozing. Lin ignored him, the suit he wore when he left was now wearing a long shirt, and it was easy to be suspicious when seen by the guys. He walked straight to the revolving escalator, where a bunch of unreasonable guests dominated the elevator, and he didn't need to provoke them. When I walked to the second floor and half, I heard the sound of noisy footsteps above. There were more than a dozen people listening to the movement. He wanted to avoid it, but there was nowhere to avoid it. He looked up slightly and peeked in, and saw a group of people coming down. The first guy with a long braid on his face, this guy came down like a wolf, followed by a bunch of black-clothed bodyguards, the fat man they were surrounded by was in Zhishan, and then looked at the offspring of oily noodles on the side, it was Yoshiko Kawashima.
Lin thought to himself: Didn't they take the stairs? Why did you change your mind again?
Lin hurriedly lowered his head and slipped to the side. He was sure that Kagesa had a portrait of himself in his hand, and although it didn't look like it, it looked like it in a few places. I just don't know if Yoshiko Kawashima has seen it. After learning her dog nose in a restaurant in Kawashima, he was especially wary of this woman.
Neither Kawashima nor Yu Zhishan noticed that someone was coming up, but the bodyguard Master Ha, who was standing tall in front of him and walking sideways, came over to Lin Xiuxuan. This guy was wearing a suit but holding his cuffs, with a black braid wrapped around his neck, and his eyes were looking around with a fierce light, looking at the situation as a practitioner. Lin remembered that Lu Qingshan said that Yu Zhishan's men with braids like to find faults. This is the first time I have seen it.
Master Ha came over and grabbed Lin Xiuxuan's shirt by the neck, and Lin pretended to walk with his head down and was startled. Master Ha looked up and down a few times, of course, he couldn't see anything wrong, in fact, he just wanted to show his vigilance in front of his master, and by the way, he bullied passers-by A, B, and C.
"What for?"
"Staying in the hotel."
Lin said timidly.
"What floor?"
"Fourth floor."
At this time, Kawashima and Yu Zhishan, who were chatting in a whisper, passed by, Kawashima glanced here, and then continued to talk to Yu Zhishan. Here Master Ha let go of his hand and followed, and the other group of bodyguards behind him didn't care too much about Lin. Lin quickly went upstairs and joined the other two. He discussed with Lu Qingshan and Qin Xiaosu that he had to change places to settle down immediately. When packing up their things, Lin Xiuxuan told them that the plan he had just thought about on the road was to focus on monitoring the enemy's construction site. Wait for the traverser to appear. At the same time, he managed to infiltrate the Tianjin Telephone Bureau and move his hands and feet on the exchange cable. Nowadays, the enemy rarely reveals any valuable information from the radio, so you can try to monitor wired communications, of course, the Japanese army in Tianjin has its own set of telephone exchanges, and at present the equipment is insufficient, and it is impossible to listen to it.
Over there, Yoshiko Kawashima got into the car, and when the car started driving for a while, she suddenly patted Master Ha who was pouting in the passenger seat.
"Old man, who was you stopping on the stairs just now?"
"Fourteen Gege, you asked, I have inquired about all the guests in this hotel, this is a group of merchants who live on the fourth floor to buy and sell grain, depending on their age, they are their big shopkeepers, and I have also seen another big guy, all of whom are cowards. Gege, what do you think is wrong? ”
"I always feel like I've seen this guy somewhere?"
"Gege thinks it's suspicious?" Master Ha asked.
"It's hard to say. A portrait of a key criminal that Kagezo showed me, between his eyebrows and eyebrows, there are some similarities with this person, but there are also many dissimilarities, in addition, I am thinking, if it is a grain business, it must be a lot of money, how can I dress like a poor country teacher. ”
"Master Ha doesn't say it, I didn't know they were a group yet," Yu Zhishan, who was smoking a cigar on the side, suddenly interjected, "On the roof of the building that day, I felt so strange when I saw that big guy." ”
"Dashuai, what did you find too?" Master Ha asked.
"Yu Mouqiu was born, and he could see that kid had been a soldier, but his eyes were dodgy, as if he had a ghost in his heart."
"In that case, I'll go to the front telephone bureau to make a call and find some brothers to talk about," Kawashima said.
"Gege, it's just a matter of killing the plate, why use a knife," Master Ha smiled slightly, "We have more than a dozen people here, it's not enough?" ”
"Sir, your people can carry guns?"
"When I came, the emperor ordered that it was a matter of confidentiality, and that you should not bring a gun, so as not to cause trouble. But my people are all masters. Let's just say that Master Ha, Nian competed with a Japanese karate black belt master, and defeated the Japanese in just one round. Emperor Longyan Dayue personally gave him the title of "Imperial Iron Guard". ”
"Since it's so powerful, I think it should be enough, let's go, let's go back. If you make a mistake, I ask you to drink and make amends. ”
Kawashima's sedan suddenly turned back on the road, and the three cars that followed behind also slammed the steering wheel to keep up.
Lin Xiuxuan had just finished packing his things here and was about to leave. Hearing the screeching sound of brakes downstairs, Lu Qingshan poked his head out and took a look.
"The team leader is not good, they are back."
"Is there a gendarme?"
"No, just four cars. There were twelve people in total. As he spoke, he glanced down again, and saw eight guys getting out of the car, and the pigtailed one was standing in front of everyone pointing and gesturing something, obviously planning an action.
Lin calculated that what had happened to him just now, but it was only ten minutes, and it was expected that they would not have time to call the gendarmerie, and most of them would have come to investigate themselves. They had already investigated the hotel's various retreats in order to get out temporarily. But the hotel layout does have some flaws.
Kawashima and Yu Zhishan sat in the car, watching their bodyguards enter the revolving door and enter, Kawashima also felt that it was mostly a false alarm, after all, it was just a hand-drawn painting, so he didn't care much.
Lin and his entourage came down from the stairs and heard the chaotic footsteps below, and they could hear that a few of them had taken the stairs, and the rest were probably taking the elevator. They hid on the second floor, waited for a few guys to go up, came out from the side, and continued to go downstairs. When I arrived at the lobby on the first floor, I saw Master Ha standing there, so I quickly turned around and ran to the back kitchen, where there was a passage leading to the back door.
Master Ha was standing in the lobby with his hands behind his back, and when he saw three people carrying boxes, he walked past in front of him in a hurry, and Lu Qingshan glanced at him. He still felt nervous just now, but now it seems that this group of people has ghosts. Although he is in charge of command from the first floor, he does not have a radio in his hand and directs people from all walks of life. For a while, he didn't know whether to hurry out and report to his master, or to inform the others to come down quickly.
In a hurry, Master Ha shouted: "Where to run." Then he chased after him.
He shouted that voice, naturally hoping that the brothers upstairs would come down quickly when they heard it, of course he couldn't wait here, seeing that this group of people ran away, relying on the courage of the artist, he chased after him alone.
Lin Xiuxuan knew that someone was chasing after him, so he took the box from Lu Qingshan's hand, nodded to him, and motioned for him to come and break the queen. Lu Huiyi stayed in the kitchen and waited.
In the kitchen of the Shunde Hotel, the cook was boiling porridge when he heard a noise outside, and then three unrelated people broke in, two of them passed through the hall, and another person stayed, taking a boning knife from the desk. The cook was an acquaintance, and when he knew that he was not talkative, he quickly threw down the spatula and slipped away through the side door. Master Ha then came in and saw Lu Qingshan leaning against the door and sneering and waiting for him, holding a sharp knife with his backhand. He immediately took a long knife for cutting watermelons from the shelf, walked quickly to Lu, and performed a night battle in the Eight Directions Hidden Knife Style.
