Chapter 1673 Knock on the Door
Jingle Bell.
The phone on the table rang.
Liu Bo frowned slightly, walked to the table and picked up the phone.
"Mr. Tanaka, a friend of yours is here to see you."
"What's his last name?" asked Liu Bo, who was now using the pseudonym 'Tanaka Yuichi'.
"Mr. Tanaka, my name is Fang Bao. Mr. Kato asked me to come here." Xiaobo took the phone from the hotel manager and said.
After saying that, he returned the phone to the hotel manager.
"He is here to see me, please ask him to come up." Liu Bo said.
He was extremely surprised and worried at the same time. Zhao Guoliang said that if Xiaobo wanted to contact him, he would have a way to do it.
Just come to my door like this?
Is this what Zhao Guoliang meant by "I have my own way to do it"?
"Okay, okay, Mr. Tanaka," said the hotel manager.
……
Xiaobo was holding a teak box in his hand and, under the guidance of the hotel waiter, knocked on the door politely.
It can be said that when Liu Bo saw Xiaobo again, he was very surprised.
Xiaobo at this moment was dressed in a suit and had a handsome face. He was completely different from the ordinary, thin man he had seen before.
Then, Liu Bo subconsciously drew his gun.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
……
"We met at the teahouse. Dr. Zhao was there too. Before leaving, I grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds, Mr. Tanaka," said Xiaobo.
"This is a letter from Dr. Zhao." Xiaobo handed a note to Liu Bo.
Liu Bo took it and took a look. On it were written the three words "It's Xiaobo". It was Zhao Guoliang's handwriting. The most important thing was that the secret marks on the note were correct.
It seems that Comrade Zhao Guoliang had already anticipated the current situation and was well prepared.
Liu Bo looked carefully, perhaps due to psychological factors, he now realized that the figure of the person in front of him was indeed somewhat similar to Xiaobo.
The person who came was Xiaobo.
……
"How did you do that?" Liu Bo asked in amazement, "It's simply amazing."
"It's just using some makeup techniques and paying attention to the different changes in expression and spirit." Xiaobo said with a shy smile, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I was just wondering, how could you be so bold as to come to the restaurant? Aren't you afraid of being recognized by those people?" Liu Bo said with a smile, "It turns out that you are very brave because of your skill."
"These are just my tricks," Xiaobo said. "Comrade Liu pretended to be a Japanese and checked into the Minsheng Hotel. This is true skill and courage."
"Hahaha." Liu Bo laughed and waved his hand, "Okay, let's stop flattering each other and get down to business."
"Yes!"
……
"The people should be on the third floor." Liu Bo said seriously, "I was stopped from going up to the third floor as a Japanese, and I had a big argument with them."
"It has now been confirmed that the group is the spies from the Nanjing District of the Secret Service Headquarters."
"In addition, we now preliminarily suspect that Dai Chengbi was placed in Room 309 by them," said Liu Bo.
"How is the enemy's guarding situation?" Xiaobo asked.
"There are two secret agents guarding the entrances to the corridors on both sides, and there is another secret agent at the door of Room 309." Liu Bo said, "Not only that, when I was causing trouble, the secret agent's small leader came out of Room 309, so I guess this person should be eating and sleeping with Dai Chengbi in Room 309."
"That's the guard force of six agents." Xiaobo said thoughtfully.
"This is just the manpower that the secret service headquarters currently has at the Minsheng Hotel." Liu Bo said, "This place is very close to the fake police station. If the fake police are fast, it will only take five minutes to get there. If they are slow, it will take at most ten minutes."
"It's not just that." Xiaobo also showed a serious expression, "There are other people, like the traitor you mentioned, Comrade Liu, he has many bodyguards. In addition, there must be other guests in the hotel with bodyguards. These also need to be taken into consideration."
……
"Yes, you are right." Liu Bo looked at Xiao Bo with appreciation.
Although this young comrade is only about eighteen or nineteen years old, he is very sophisticated and meticulous in his work and considers issues very comprehensively.
Facing such a Xiaobo, he felt quite good in his heart. It was much less troublesome than when he had to take care of Fang Muheng and He Guan.
"Because we can't predict when the enemy will arrange Dai Chengbi to go to the detention center to identify the person, but if we delay, something unexpected will happen." Liu Bo pondered and said, "So, if we want to take action, we must act quickly."
He said to Xiaobo, "When you leave the hotel, go see Lao Zhao and report the situation here to him. Make an action plan as soon as possible. I will also keep an eye on the enemy's movements."
"Okay." Xiaobo nodded.
……
"Mr. Tanaka, please stay. I will report the situation to Mr. Kato as soon as I return. I will report back to Mr. Tanaka as soon as I have a reply." Xiaobo said.
"This is the last concession I can make." Liu Bo said in a deep voice, "Tell that guy Kato that I will not make any more concessions. At worst, I can contact someone else to take over this business."
"Don't worry, Mr. Tanaka. I will convey your wishes to Mr. Kato as soon as I return."
Ma Benze was smoking in the corridor.
Then he glanced and saw that the door of Room 220 at the far end was opened. A man was standing at the door, saying goodbye to the guests who were seeing him off inside.
It was too far away and he couldn't hear what was being said over there.
He saw that the door of Room 220 was probably closed, and the visitor turned and walked towards the stairs on the west side.
Ma Benz stared at the man's back and suddenly frowned.
The man's back seemed familiar, but when he looked closely, it didn't seem so familiar, so much so that he couldn't remember where he had seen this man.
……
"What are you looking at?" Haozi came back with a net bag of canned food and happened to see Ma Benze staring at the stairs in the distance, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Hao." Ma Benze said quickly, "Didn't you see anything?"
The man had already gone down the stairs and left, but he still couldn't remember who this familiar yet unfamiliar figure was.
"I didn't see anything, so why were you staring at the stairs over there?" Haozi shook his head and cursed, "Be smart, if this was on the street, your wallet would have been stolen by three hands if you were like that just now."
As he said that, he was about to knock on Brother Fan's door.
Three hands?
Suddenly, a light flashed in Ma Benze's mind, and he thought about why that figure seemed familiar.
"Brother Hao, I seemed to have seen those three hands just now." Ma Benze said to Haozi.
……
"You mean, someone came out of room 220, and you felt that person's back was familiar." Cheng Qianfan asked Ma Benze, "Do you think that person is like the three hands that ran away before?"
"Yes, Brother Fan." Ma Benze said, "At first I didn't know who that person was, but I felt familiar with his back. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed strange. It was Brother Hao's words 'three hands' that reminded me."
"Interesting." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "That thief not only didn't hide, but even dared to return to the hotel openly."
As he said that, he looked at Haozi, "Haozi, go and find out about the situation of the occupant of room 220."
"Yes."
"Brother Fan, Brother Hao, I know who the person in Room 220 is." Ma Benze said quickly.
"You know?" Haozi looked at Ma Benze.
"Brother Fan, Brother Hao, the occupant of room 220 is the Japanese who just checked into the hotel today." Ma Benze said.
"Is he the Japanese who accidentally walked to the third floor and had a conflict with the people from the secret service headquarters?" Haozi asked with a frown.
"Yes, Brother Hao." said Ma Benze.
"Haozi." Cheng Qianfan said to Haozi, "Go downstairs and ask the hotel staff about the situation of the occupant of Room 220, and the situation of the guy who just visited Room 220."
"Yes"
"Be careful about how you inquire about the situation, and don't arouse suspicion from outsiders." Cheng Qianfan warned, "Remember, this is Nanjing, not Shanghai, and everyone should put away your attitude of being the king of the world."
"I understand." Haozi agreed, opened the door and left, not forgetting to turn around and close the door.
"You did a good job, you're smart." Cheng Qianfan praised Ma Benze, and then reminded Ma Benze, "Keep an eye on 220 in secret, and report any situation at any time."
"Yes!"
……
Agents at the secret service headquarters on the third floor.
Someone suspected to be secretly detained or protected by spies.
A new Japanese resident on the second floor had a conflict with the spies upstairs because he was prevented from going up to the third floor.
The three hands sneaked into the hotel disguised as waiters, seemingly intending to steal. They even dared to disguise themselves and return to the hotel, and even met the mysterious Japanese in room 220.
Cheng Qianfan sighed, this Minsheng Hotel is really lively.
Then, Cheng Qianfan thought of his several identities again, and he couldn't help but shook his head.
Even if these guys really have something fishy, how could they have more clothes than he is wearing?
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door. It was Haozi who came back.
……
"Brother Fan, I found out some information." Haozi said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded and signaled Haozi to continue reporting the situation.
"The Japanese man who lives in room 220, his name on the check-in form is Tanaka Yuichi."
"Tanaka Yuichi..." Cheng Qianfan touched his chin, thinking about the name.
"Also, the guy we suspected was the little thief. The hotel manager said that he heard him say that he was Fang Bao. He came back to visit Tanaka Yuichi this time on the orders of a guy named Kato."
"Tanaka Yuichi, Kato." Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly.
He felt something was wrong.
Or rather, it was Fang Bao who aroused his suspicion.
If Fang Bao was indeed sent by Kato to visit Tanaka Yuichi, who is also a Japanese, then it would be difficult to explain Fang Bao's previous behavior of coming to the hotel disguised as a waiter.
This is very contradictory.
……
"Are you sure that the guy who went to see Tanaka Yuichi is the three-handed man who you surrounded and ran away before?" Cheng Qianfan asked Haozi.
"That may not be easy." Haozi shook his head and said, "Ma Benze just thought they looked a bit similar. You know, sometimes you may mistake someone even when they are face to face. It is probably difficult to guarantee accuracy when recognizing someone from the back."
Cheng Qianfan nodded. What Haozi said made some sense.
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "As the saying goes, meeting by chance is fate, and staying in the same hotel is also fate."
He said to Haozi, "I'm going to visit Mr. Tanaka Yuichi."
Haozi was a little surprised.
Because even if Yuichi Tanaka who lives in room 220 has some problems, or to confess, whether the Japanese man Yuichi Tanaka in room 220 has problems or not, it actually has nothing to do with them directly.
Given Brother Fan's usually cautious temperament, he would most likely stay out of matters that have nothing to do with him and would not take the initiative to get involved in such matters.
"Brother Fan, do you really want to visit Yuichi Tanaka in room 220?" asked Haozi.
"Don't you think there are too many messy things going on upstairs and downstairs?" Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "I don't like this feeling, and I don't like guessing riddles."
He has a more serious sense of persecution and insecurity, and this noisy and unclear situation makes him feel uneasy.
……
"In that case, why not take the initiative and see what it is all about." He said to Haozi, "Tell me why I chose to visit this Tanaka Yuichi as a breakthrough point."
"Because..." Haozi thought for a moment and said in an uncertain tone, "Because Tanaka Yuichi is Japanese?"
"Of course, Haozi is now a smart Haozi." Cheng Qianfan said jokingly.
As Haozi said, it is most appropriate to choose the Japanese man Tanaka Yuichi as the target and breakthrough point:
Safety!
Whether he is the identity of 'Mr. Cheng', or Secretary Cheng, or the identity of Kentaro Miyazaki, or especially the latter identity, it is the safest for him to visit Japanese guests and it will not bring any security risks.
Just tell me, a traitor, a guy whose 'real identity' is a Japanese spy, visits a Japanese, is there any problem with that?
No problem, that makes sense.
……
In room 220.
Liu Bo is checking weapons and ammunition.
The biggest convenience for him when he moved around and stayed in hotels under the identity of a Japanese named Yuichi Tanaka was that his luggage was safer. Even if he encountered Japanese soldiers or spies, his Japanese identity and ability to speak authentic Japanese would allow him to avoid having his luggage inspected.
So, Liu Bo successfully carried the weapons in his suitcase.
On the table lay a Mauser pistol and a clip.
There is also a dagger.
A box of matches.
A piece of wire.
Liu Bo shook his head. What he wanted most was a grenade. After experiencing his combat career in the army, he loved grenades more and more.
It's a pity that the organization lacks 'heavy weapons' such as grenades with greater lethality. Although they can be purchased on the black market, neither he nor the organization has the money.
Liu Bo picked up the Mauser pistol and carefully checked the condition of the gun.
Just at this moment, Liu Bo frowned. He heard a burst of chaotic footsteps, and finally the footsteps stopped at the door of his room.
Then there was a knock on the door.
