Chapter 1045 Visitors from Shanghai (asking for monthly tickets)
“Do you know the man with him?” the man holding the newspaper asked again.
“I don’t know you,” the man said. Seeing the other person’s scrutinizing gaze, he smiled bitterly, “Team Leader Lu, I really don’t know you.”
As he said that, he added, "However, that person seems to be quite knowledgeable, and he can travel with Guo Xingyu, so I guess he should have the same identity."
Lu Fei nodded with satisfaction.
“Did you hear clearly where they went?” he asked the men who came over.
“I heard it, Licha Hotel.”
“Come on.” Lu Fei smiled, “I delivered it to my door.”
Two years ago, after the Japanese occupied the Chinese border in Shanghai, the foreigners in Hongkou evacuated, and the business of the Richa Hotel became increasingly unsatisfactory. Japanese ronin and soldiers came to harass the hotel. The British had no choice but to transfer the Richa Hotel reluctantly. Gave it to the Japanese.
“Let’s go and invite someone at your door.” Lu Fei said, but he couldn’t help laughing, “What a big deal!”
…
Lecha Hotel.
Pinball room.
The marbles are in the hole.
Sheng Shuyu, in a suit and leather tie, was leaning against the billiard table, holding the pinball rod in his hand, and mouthing to his companion beside him, "How is it? I'm good at playing billiards, right?"
“Very good.” The man praised, stroking his palms and getting closer as he spoke, “Boss Qian, why don’t we move to another place? I always feel like it’s not safe here.”
His heart kept beating when he thought that the Licha Hotel was now a Japanese-run hotel.
"What are you afraid of?" Sheng Shuyu shook his head, "It's okay."
Precisely because the Richa Hotel is now run by Japanese people, unless they make mistakes and are exposed, generally speaking, staying here will reduce unnecessary suspicion and harassment.
He motioned to his companion to place the marbles, "Congyu, relax."
Zhu Congyu smiled bitterly and stopped persuading.
He did not agree with Sheng Shuyu's meeting with Guo Xinyu here.
Without him, he was worried about Guo Xinyu.
This worry does not mean that there is something wrong with Guo Xinyu, but because he does not understand.
Guo Xinyu is a native of Chen Gongshu.
The new Shanghai District Secretary is still in Chongqing and will soon come to Shanghai to take up his post.
He entrusted Guo Xinyu to come to Shanghai from Jinhua and contact Sheng Shuyu.
Chen Gongshu spoke sincerely in his call, as if he were a brother, and only said that we had something important to discuss with him.
Sheng Shuyu could not refuse, so he could only accept it.
The two parties agreed to meet at the Licha Hotel.
After playing two more rounds of marbles, Sheng Shuyu glanced at the time on his watch, put down the pinball rod, stretched out his arms, and nodded towards Zhu Congyu, "Let's go."
The two of them returned to the room.
Sheng Shuyu was familiar with Licha Hotel. When he booked a room, he specially selected this room.
This room is on the second floor, facing the street, and there are no buildings blocking the view, so you can observe the situation on the street very well.
About ten minutes later.
Two rickshaws parked one behind the other at the entrance of Licha Hotel.
A man wearing a bamboo hat got out of the car and looked up at the entrance of the hotel.
Another man who got off the rickshaw took out his wallet to pay the fare.
“Director, it should be Guo Xingyu.” Zhu Congyu said.
The bamboo hat is a token of connection.
Of course, if you meet, you still need to match the code word. This is a double confirmation.
Sheng Shuyu said nothing.
“I’ll go down to greet you and make sure.” Zhu Congyu said.
Sheng Shuyu, however, had a serious expression and raised his hand to signal Zhu Congyu to calm down.
After Guo Xingyu and the two entered the Licha Hotel, the two rickshaw drivers exchanged glances. One pulled the rickshaw away, while the other pulled the rickshaw to a shaded area on the right side of the hotel entrance, lit a cigarette, and He stared in the direction of the hotel entrance.
“Congyu.” Sheng Shuyu said.
“The subordinate is here.”
"Guo Xingyu is being followed." Sheng Shuyu said in a deep voice, "Find a way to warn them and evacuate immediately."
“Yes!” Zhu Congyu said with a serious expression.
Zhu Congyu is not a field worker, but a radio operator, responsible for radio work.
Although he didn't know why Sheng Shuyu made this judgment, he admired Sheng Shuyu's ability as an officer.
The two of them picked up their suitcases and were about to leave the room to evacuate.
“Change clothes.” Sheng Shuyu said urgently with a serious expression.
The way they dress now is in preparation for meeting Guo Xinyu.
Zhu Congyu understood immediately, and regardless of lamenting that Chief Sheng was as meticulous as a hair, the two quickly changed their coats and removed the small marks on their bodies used for joint identification.
The two of them carried their suitcases and left the room pretending to be calm.
I heard noise coming from the corridor.
What I saw was that it was Guo Xingyu and his companions who were being pushed and escorted by a group of people.
“Let’s go.” Sheng Shuyu whispered.
The two of them quickened their pace and went down the stairs.
"Boss Qian, should we check out first?" Zhu Congyu lowered his voice and said, "This will make it appear that we are not so panicked."
“Let’s go!” Sheng Shuyu shouted in a low voice.
A scholar’s opinion!
What's the situation now?
At this moment, the most important thing is to leave the Licha Hotel immediately!
Pretend to be calm and go to the front desk to check out. It seems smart, but in fact it is stupid.
If you are unlucky and the enemy casually comes over to question you, something may happen.
Guo Yunyu came to Shanghai from Jinhua. Sheng Shuyu had previously inspected the station in Zhejiang. He was not sure whether Guo Yunyu knew him and could not take risks.
Sheng Shuyu and Zhu Congyu left the Licha Hotel. Because of Guo Xinyu's previous experience, they did not dare to call a rickshaw. Instead, they carried their suitcases and left in a hurry with their soles on their feet.
Lu Fei led people to **** Guo Xinyu and Guo Yuyu out of the hotel. He stood at the door and lit a cigarette, waiting for the car to arrive. When he looked up, he saw the two men hurriedly carrying suitcases.
The backs of these two people were somewhat familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that he had just seen these two people passing by in the corridor.
“Yes.” asked the man pretending to be a rickshaw driver.
“Do you want a rickshaw?” Lu Fei asked.
"No." said the subordinate, "Maybe I saw that I was the only car here..."
"That's not right." Lu Fei shook his head and ordered one of his men, "Go and ask, are these two checking out today?"
"yes!"
Soon, his subordinates ran back and said, "Team Leader Lu, those two people live in room 203 and have not checked out."
Lu Fei held a cigarette in his mouth with a thoughtful expression, and suddenly cursed, "Mother Cena, I may have missed a big fish."
After a slight hesitation, Lu Fei ordered some of his men to **** Guo Yuyu and the two back to the agent headquarters first, while he took the two of them back to the hotel.
…
"Qian Yewen, Xu Zhixin." Lu Fei looked at the passenger registration book and frowned slightly.
“Take us to room 203.” He said in a deep voice.
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind.
“Bag duck falls!”
Lu Fei turned around to look, and saw a stout, short man wearing a Japanese kimono and wooden clogs walking over. When he came up, he gave Lu Fei a big mouth.
“What are you doing?” One of the men was anxious, drew his gun and glared.
The man in kimono was not afraid at all and looked at Lu Fei coldly.
“Put down the gun.” Lu Fei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glanced at the man in kimono who hit. Although he was extremely angry, he could only suppress his anger and ordered to his men.
The men reluctantly put away their short guns.
"Mr. Sanji." Lu Fei forced a smile on his face, "What do you mean?"
He recognized this person as Sanji, the manager of Licha Hotel.
“Who gave you the guts to come here and arrest people randomly?” Sanji cursed angrily.
"No one was arrested." Lu Fei shook his head, "Mr. Guo is a distinguished guest at my secret service headquarters. We are here to invite someone."
“Bag ducks down!” Sanji seemed dissatisfied with Lu Fei’s daring to quibble, and was another big-headed critic.
"Mr. Sanji." Lu Fei's face was visibly swollen. He was finally angry and glared at Sanji, "Lu is on official duty. If Mr. Sanji has any questions, you can call Mr. Imai."
Manza looked hesitant, although he didn't think that the young agent leader in the agent headquarters in front of him, whose name he was not even interested in knowing, would know Takeo Imai.
However, this person’s attitude does not seem to be lying, and it seems impossible for ordinary agents to know Takeo Imai.
Manza snorted coldly, "I will ask Imai-kun personally about this matter."
“It’s up to you.” Lu Fei also snorted coldly, and waved his hand to his subordinates, “Let’s go.”
After leaving the Licha Hotel, a subordinate finally couldn't help but asked, "Team leader, are we not going to search room 203?"
“What the hell!” Lu Fei cursed, went up and kicked the stupid man, and walked away angrily.
It is impossible for him to know Takeo Imai at all. He just overheard that there was a person like Imai, and he just took Imai's banner out of desperation.
How dare he continue to stay in the hotel, let alone continue to ask for a room search. If the mistress really called Imai Takeo for confirmation, then his secret would be revealed.
…
"Sir Imai?" Sakamoto Yoshino said in surprise, "You want to see him?"
“Who is it?” Cheng Qianfan drank slightly and asked Sakamoto Yoshino.
"Imai-dono is still in Tokyo. If you are... well, I understand." Sakamoto Yoshino hung up the phone, shook his head with a smile, and then replied, "Mikasa from the Recha Hotel."
"Sanji?" Cheng Qianfan was a little surprised, "Why is he asking Mr. Imai?"
No wonder he was surprised. The man behind Sanji was Sakai, a wealthy Japanese businessman who had lived in Shanghai for many years. He was able to get the Richa Hotel from the British. His background was naturally good. However, Sanji was not Sakai. As the manager of the Richa Hotel, The manager, to put it bluntly, is just an imperial citizen with some status. This kind of person is not qualified to contact Takeo Imai.
“People from the secret service headquarters arrested two people at the Richa Hotel, and Mikasa was very angry,” Sakamoto Yoshino said.
“It’s really ridiculous that such a trivial matter actually involves Mr. Imai.” Cheng Qianfan’s heart moved and he sneered.
The Secret Service Headquarters arrested two people from the Rich Hotel?
Inexplicably, Cheng Qianfan thought of Sheng Shuyu.
According to the agreement, Sheng Shuyu arrived in Shanghai on these two days.
However, after Cheng Qianfan thought about it for a moment, he thought that this possibility was unlikely.
With Sheng Shuyu's ability, it is impossible to be caught easily.
“The person leading the team mentioned Mr. Imai.” Sakamoto Yoshino said.
“How could the middle- and lower-level officials of the Secret Service Headquarters know Mr. Imai?” Cheng Qianfan shook his head, “Mr. Sanji was deceived.”
Sakamoto Yoshino laughed loudly, "Indeed, Mr. Imai has been stuck in Tokyo during this period, how could he possibly issue orders to Shanghai?"
As he spoke, Sakamoto Yoshino's expression changed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Qianfan asked, "Is there a gunfight at the Licha Hotel? If Mr. Sanji needs help..."
"No, there was no gunfight." Sakamoto Yoshino shook his head, "I suddenly remembered something. Maybe the people at the secret service headquarters did not lie."
“What do you mean?” Cheng Qianfan asked in confusion.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had asked deliberately just now. Since there was no gunfight, the possibility that Sheng Shuyu fell into the enemy's hands at the Licha Hotel could be basically ruled out.
Sheng Shuyu may be caught, but it is almost impossible to capture him without firing a shot.
In addition, Sakamoto Yoshino said that the people at the secret service headquarters did not lie to Muki, which also aroused his interest.
"Previously, Mr. Imai sent a telegram from Tokyo to Uncle Imamura, which mentioned Wang Reclamation." Sakamoto Yoshino clinked glasses with his friend, took a sip of wine, and said, "Maybe the secret service headquarters is arresting people at the Richa Hotel. It has something to do with that.”
“Let’s be clear, it’s unclear.” Cheng Qianfan yawned, but his eyes were quite interested, “What is the leader of the China Wang family doing?”
Sakamoto Yoshino saw that his friend's words were quite disrespectful towards the Vice President of the Kuomintang Party of China and the second-ranking leader of the Kuomintang Party. He also chuckled lightly and did not pay much attention to this.
However, when talking about this matter, Sakamoto Yoshino also became interested in telling stories to his friends. Working at the Consulate General allows him to come into contact with many secrets, and there are many secrets involving Mr. Wang Chuhai. This kind of close contact with big figures has a sense of freshness and participation in important historical processes, which makes Sakamoto Yoshino very exciting.
At the same time, he also has a desire to share it with others, but he knows that this is a secret and must not be told randomly to others. However, Miyazaki-kun does not have such worries and concerns.
…
From Sakamoto Yoshino's words, Cheng Qianfan finally understood what happened.
Wang Chuhai has always regarded himself as an orthodox disciple of Mr. Sun.
In order to legitimately organize the so-called "central peace government", this person has taken up the banner of the Kuomintang party unity and the national government's legal system. He has been thinking about how to operate to prove it!
Wang has maintained close contact with Takeo Imai in Tokyo, Japan.
One thing was mentioned in the telegram exchange between Takeo Imai and Hyōtaro Imamura, which was that Wang Takumi planned to convene the "Sixth National Congress of the Kuomintang" in order to elect the most "legitimate" new leader of the Kuomintang.
According to information obtained by Takeo Imai, the Wang faction has established a preparatory committee for the Sixth National Congress of the Kuomintang.
“What does this matter about the Licha Hotel have to do with Wang Shuhai’s convening of the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China?” Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
