"What are you doing? I didn't steal anything, why don't you let me out? Do you know who I am?"
Before the leading officer could finish speaking, a violent voice sounded at an inappropriate time.
"idiot!"
A Japanese soldier guarding the door was about to take out his gun when he was stopped by the officer.
The man immediately pointed his finger at the officer and said with a superior look: "You are their leader, right? I'm warning you, I am the senior translator next to Sir Taylor, the British Empire's special envoy. Now I have nothing to do with you.
This behavior restricts my personal freedom, and I express my solemn protest!"
"Snapped!"
Before the man could finish what he said, he was slapped hard on the face.
"Hey! Are you awake?"
It was only then that the translator came to his senses, covered his cheek and shouted at his neck: "You dare to hit me?"
"Hitting you? For a dog raised by an Englishman, that's quite polite!"
"You called me a dog?"
"No, I'm just reminding you to recognize your identity. This is Fengtian, Manchukuo, not the Shanghai Concession, let alone Chongqing. Not to mention that you are just a British dog. Even if you are your British master, you will be here.
You have to follow my rules! Listen, my name is Yamamoto Kazuki, and I am a major in the Empire of Japan. From now on, no one is allowed to leave the Peace Hotel. Am I clear enough?"
"You! Just wait for me!" As he said that, the man turned around and walked towards the front desk of the hotel.
I didn't want to be stopped by Kazuki Yamamoto again before I took two steps, "Stop! What are you going to do?"
"Why, I'm not letting you out, even if I just make a phone call?"
"Of course not! From now on, no one is allowed to contact the outside world without my permission. Violators will be punished as anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements!"
…
"Is this what you call a 'wonderful plan'?" Haitang, who came to Li Qiang at some point, said to Li Qiang while watching the so-called British envoy's failed translator from afar as if watching a play.
"How's it going? Not bad, right?"
"What's the point? It's just to take advantage of the chaos to get close to that Matsuoka Yoyo!"
"You are indeed my partner in life and death. You really have a clear understanding of each other and you can guess right!"
Unexpectedly, instead of showing any joy on Haitang's face after hearing this, she straightened her face and said angrily: "Young Master, don't think you can get away with just a few nice words. Tell me honestly, what is your plan?"
Li Qiang didn't hide anything and directly lowered his voice and whispered to her.
It's okay for Haitang not to listen. After hearing Li Qiang's plan, he immediately opened his eyes in surprise and said in disbelief: "Isn't this... too risky?"
Li Qiang said with some helplessness: "There is no way, time is tight and the task is heavy. Don't forget that today is the 19th, so I can only take the risk and give it a try."
"But……"
Just as he was speaking, Li Qiang suddenly made a silencing gesture, and Haitang had to swallow the words that had reached his lips, and then hurriedly looked in the direction of Li Qiang's finger.
I saw a Japanese soldier walking quickly in front of Yamamoto Kazuki, saying something to him, which immediately made his expression change, and then he turned around and walked towards the elevator.
When people who were originally waiting for the elevator saw Kazuki Yamamoto approaching, as if he was about to take the elevator, they took the initiative to make way for him, and after he entered the elevator, no one dared to go in.
However, just when Yamamoto Kazuki was about to close the elevator door, Li Qiang ran over at a trot and squeezed in with a single stride.
"What, are you in a hurry?" After the elevator started running, Yamamoto Kazuki casually asked Li Qiang.
But he never expected that the first words Li Qiang said would almost make his jaw drop.
"Captain Yamamoto, right? Let me introduce myself. My name is Ming Qiang. The public identity I came to Fengtian this time is Du Fei, a reporter from China Daily. In my opinion, there is no need to continue investigating this case of theft of items from residents.
Already."
"Why?"
"It's very simple, because I can tell you clearly that I deliberately hired someone to do this case. And the purpose of doing this is to use Yamamoto-kun's help to find out the enemy spies hiding inside the hotel.
"
As soon as these words came out, Yamamoto Kazuki was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses, "Why do you conclude that there are enemy spies lurking in the hotel?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qiang threw the newspaper in his hand to him without saying a word, "Read it yourself."
Yamamoto Kazuki took the newspaper with suspicion and read it. He couldn't help being surprised because the newspaper actually exposed the Japanese Foreign Minister Yoyo Matsuoka and the president of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. in peacetime in a prominent position on the front page.
About the secret meeting at the hotel!
And just when he was still immersed in huge shock, with the sound of "ding", the elevator had stopped on the fourth floor of the hotel, and then a slightly older voice rang, "Hey.
?Isn’t this Lord Aqiang? Why are you here?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the person who spoke, "I'd like to pay my respects to Mr. Matsuoka. I haven't seen you for a long time. How is Mr. Matsuoka?"
"Okay, okay." Matsuoka Yosuke replied with a smile at first, and then he looked serious and turned to Yamamoto Kazuki and said, "Who asked you to block the hotel? Isn't it just a little thief? It's useful.
Are you making such a fuss? Are you afraid that others won’t know I’m here? Hurry up and lift the blockade order!”
As the saying goes, one thing is better than the other. Yamamoto Kazuki, who was still arrogant in front of everyone before, naturally did not dare to make a mistake in front of Matsuoka Yoyo, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Foreign Minister, please calm down, this is a derogatory thing to do."
This is a helpless move, and it is really because of the last resort! Mr. Foreign Minister, please take a look..."
With that said, he handed over the newspaper in his hand.
Matsuoka Yoyo took the newspaper and read it, and his face suddenly showed the same expression as Yamamoto Kazuki just now.
"How could this happen? Who leaked my whereabouts?"
"Obviously, it was an enemy spy who did it, and this person is probably a resident here, so he made a fuss out of a lowly position and blocked the place on the pretext of catching a thief, in order to secretly catch the man hiding in the hotel.
Guy."
After hearing this, Matsuoka Yosuke suddenly said: "So that's it. It seems that I wrongly blamed you, Yamamoto-kun."
"Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, you have spoken harshly. In fact, I should have reported it to you as soon as possible. So in the final analysis, it is still I'm at your fault. Please punish me, Your Excellency, Foreign Minister!"
After hearing this, Matsuoka Yosuke first nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said: "Hey! Although the incident happened suddenly, I have to say that the response strategy adopted by Yamamoto-kun is still very good."
"Thank you, Mr. Foreign Minister. It's all thanks to Mr. Aqiang. If he hadn't successfully planned a small theft incident immediately after seeing the newspaper report and attracted the humble official, I'm afraid that the enemy
The Fang spy has already escaped long ago."
"Oh? Really?" After hearing this, Matsuoka Yosuke turned to Li Qiang and said, "Aqiang-kun, are you sure the spy is still in this hotel?"
"Yes, if it were me, it would not be enough just to expose Mr. Matsuoka's whereabouts. At the very least, I need to understand the purpose of your trip before we can do business. So in my opinion, the reason why that person
To provide your whereabouts to the newspaper, it is very likely that they are asking for directions. They want to infer the true purpose of your trip through your reaction after learning the news. Therefore, my subordinates boldly guessed that the spy should still be there.
Didn’t leave.”
"Well, that makes sense." Matsuoka Yosuke nodded in agreement, and then after thinking for a moment, he said to Yamamoto Kazuki, "Okay, Yamamoto-kun, you continue to investigate the theft case."
For this reason, I will investigate everyone in the hotel one by one, and report any suspicious persons to me immediately. Don’t alert anyone.”
After hearing this, Yamamoto Kazuki immediately stood up and said, "Hai!"
After sending away Yamamoto Kazuki, Matsuoka Yosuke took Li Qiang back to his room.
"Aqiang-kun, please tell me truthfully, why are you here?" As soon as he entered the door, Matsuoka Yoyo asked in a serious voice.
Li Qiang did not hide anything, and directly told him his plan to secretly purchase a batch of weapons, equipment and ammunition through Mitsui & Co., Ltd. to help the tax police group, as well as his previous encounters, and told him without reservation.
"So that's it. No wonder President Mitsui decided to set the meeting place here. I didn't expect that there was such a factor." Matsuoka Yosuke suddenly realized, but then changed the topic, "But as far as I know,
What Mitsui hates most is confusing relationships with business. I think this is the real reason why he has not met you for so long!"
"I see, no wonder...Thank you, Mr. Matsuoka, for the tip. I know what to do."
After hearing this, Matsuoka Yosuke nodded with relief, then pointed to the newspaper and told Li Qiang: "Although the spy exposed my itinerary to the newspaper, it is obvious that more of it is only his."
Guessing, I don’t have any substantial evidence at hand, so it’s a blessing among misfortunes, so from now on…”
After giving Li Qiang serious instructions, Matsuoka Yosuke finally let him leave the room.
But just when Li Qiang came out of Matsuoka Yoyo's room, he seemed to vaguely hear someone greeting him.
Looking around, he saw Chen Mingzheng carefully leaning out half of his body from the crack in the door and waving to him, so he quickly walked over.
"What's wrong, boss?"
Chen Mingze asked nervously: "Brother, tell me honestly, what is going on outside? Is something wrong with your sister?"
"I said, boss, are you suffering from delusions of being persecuted? There was a thief in the hotel, and he stole the belongings of several guests, and then alerted the security team, and happened to catch up with a thief who liked to make a fuss, and then
Things evolved into what you saw!"
"Are you sure you didn't come for us?"
"Of course not, but boss, you have to be careful and don't throw yourself into a trap!" Li Qiang warned with some worry.
"Brother, what you said is a bit embarrassing! I'm not stupid, how can I take the initiative to reveal my identity?"
"I'm afraid that you've fallen into that guy's trap. I've heard that that guy came back from studying at the Munich Military Academy in Germany. He must be very good at torture. If you are asked, you should be more careful.
ah!"
"Don't worry, brother! Your brother and I are not young. It's not a piece of cake to deal with a major? You can rest assured. I'm just worried about your sister now. If I had known that I would be trapped here, I wouldn't have come back to get anything.
Yes, you said this was a big deal."
Li Qiang hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, boss, with Sister Xiuning's ability, it's really not that easy for anything to happen. You, you'd better take care of yourself first!"
"That's right. By the way, brother, do you have any money?"
"what?"
"What else can I do? Look, my pocket is cleaner than my face. I don't even have money to buy a piece of bread, and I'm starving! There's no need to expose myself if I go on like this. I'm going to starve to death."
Seeing that Chen Ming became more and more pitiful as he spoke, and even seemed to be crying in the end, Li Qiang simply took out a thick stack of banknotes from his wallet, gave it to him, then turned around and left, returning to the first floor of the hotel.
I found a good seat in the cafe and sat down, observing the further development of the situation from a distance.
Just when Li Qiang was bored, he suddenly saw a familiar face hurriedly walking in from outside, so he immediately stood up and hurried to greet him.
"Miss Taojing? What are you?" Li Qiang asked knowingly as soon as he came closer.
"I'm sorry, Ming...Mr. Du, I have a very urgent matter to deal with now, I'm sorry!" After saying that, Momoi Sana bowed slightly to Li Qiang, and was about to take the elevator, but didn't want to give up.
He was grabbed by Li Qiang.
"Mr. Du...Mr. Du, who are you?" Momoi Sana looked at Li Qiang with a puzzled face and asked.
Li Qiang lowered his voice and said to her: "Miss Momoi, if I guess correctly, you should go to see Mr. Matsuoka, right? Listen to my advice and never do such a stupid thing."
As soon as these words came out, Momoi Sana was stunned, but soon returned to normal, "Why?"
"Because someone is hiding in the dark, waiting to catch evidence of your secret meeting between Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mr. Matsuoka!"
"You mean, I came at the wrong time?"
"No, on the contrary, you came at the right time." As he said this, Li Qiang affectionately hugged Momoi Sana's slender waist.
This move immediately caused Momoi Sana's body to freeze up, and a blush appeared on her face unconsciously.
"I'm sorry, Miss Momoi, the matter has reached this point and I have no choice but to make this decision. Please forgive me for any offense."
After hearing this, Momoi Sana's face slowly returned to normal, and her already stiff body gradually relaxed, allowing him to hold her in his arms and enter the elevator.
