There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, we were in the restaurant on the first floor of the Peace Hotel.
"Brother, you said that these guys in the security team are really good at it. After struggling all night, they didn't even catch a single person. They still claim to be the elite of Manchuria. It's really ridiculous."
"Keep your voice down, boss! Have you forgotten what Sister Xiu Ning told you on the phone last night?"
"Hey! You know how to use your sister to pressure me." Chen Ming said with a disappointed look on his face, "Okay, if you don't talk about this, didn't you say you want to introduce someone to me? Where is the person?"
Just as he was talking, a figure dressed as a wealthy businessman and holding a cane appeared at the door of the restaurant.
As soon as he saw the man coming in, Li Qiang immediately stood up and greeted, "Old Wang, this way!"
However, as soon as the man sat down, Chen Ming suddenly said, "Are you the head of Heixiazi Ridge?"
"Big King Dading, why, have you heard of my name?"
"That's not true. I'm just curious. Can someone with your legs be a bandit?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Dading became anxious on the spot, "Who... who is the bandit? I warn you not to talk nonsense! I am engaged in the reallocation of scarce resources, and I am a serious businessman! Do businessmen understand?
Understand?"
"You are also redistributing scarce resources. If you can describe being a bandit in such a fresh and refined way, you are considered a figure. Let me meet you. My name is Chen Ming. Everyone I know calls me Boss Chen. You can call me that."
"Then...I'll call you boss!" To say that Wang Dading has been in the black and white circles for so many years, he relies on a man who is eloquent and flexible. When he saw that Chen Ming regarded himself as the boss as soon as he came up, he immediately
He lowered his attitude and changed his name to "boss".
Seeing that Wang Dading was so knowledgeable, Chen Ming's attitude improved a lot, "Brother Wang, I heard from A Qiang that you have a lot of connections in this area, right?"
"To tell you the truth, boss, I have no other hobbies. I just love making friends. As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths!"
"Then I've found the right person. Let me tell you, brother Wang, I'm going to open a restaurant here. I urgently need two chefs who can cook a bunch of dishes. I wonder if I can help find one?"
Hearing this, Wang Dading glanced at Li Qiang subconsciously, and after seeing him nodding, he agreed: "It's a small matter, just take care of it on me."
"Okay, that's refreshing!" After saying that, Chen Ming put his hand into his pocket, but then he hesitated again. An anxious Li Qiang kept winking at him, and then he painfully took out a stick.
The gold bar was handed into Wang Dading's hand.
"This...boss, it's just a little effort, are you too polite?"
"Hey! Brother Wang, it's just a little effort for you, but it solves my urgent need! It's a small thing, but I hope Brother Wang won't be polite!"
"Well, since the boss has said so, I won't be disrespectful. Don't worry, I will help you handle this matter properly."
After saying that, Wang Dading put away the gold bar and left happily.
As soon as he walked away, Chen Ming's face immediately drooped, and he kept mumbling something.
Li Qiang on the side couldn't help but asked: "What's wrong, boss, are you okay?"
"It's such a big gold bar! It's enough to buy several big guns. It's so cool to be able to give someone else a free advantage like this!"
"I'm telling you, boss, you have to give up. Only when you give up can you get something. As the saying goes, if you don't give up, you won't catch the wolf! How can you do business if you don't give up?"
"I understand the truth, but... that's a whole gold bar. Thinking about it makes my body hurt. I can't stand it anymore. I have to go back and take it easy." After saying that, Chen Ming exaggeratedly covered his chest and stood up and returned.
Gone to the room.
After watching Chen Ming leave, Li Qiang shook his head in confusion. Just as he was about to continue enjoying the breakfast in front of him, there was a sudden commotion in the hotel lobby, and then he saw two Japanese soldiers.
Zheng was dragging a person out of the elevator from left to right.
Even though he was relatively far away, Li Qiang still recognized the man at a glance. Surprisingly, it was Lao Zhao, the photographer of the Lu family class!
This was for no reason. Why did the Japanese arrest him?
When Li Qiang was wondering, he saw Lu Ye running over in a hurry, bowing and smiling, and explaining something. However, this move not only had no effect, but instead annoyed one of them.
The Japanese soldier raised his gun directly.
At this moment, Li Qiang's voice rang out, "Wait a minute, this Taijun, you have something to say, you have something to say!"
In fact, Li Qiang had already seen that the two Japanese soldiers could not understand Chinese, so he directly said the sentence in Japanese. When the two Japanese soldiers saw someone who understood Japanese coming, they also took action.
The gun inside was lowered.
And Lu Ye, as if he had met his relatives, immediately said excitedly: "Brother Du, you came at the right time. I didn't expect you to understand Japanese. Come on, help me explain to these two princes.
Look, Lao Zhao is the cameraman of our crew. We are filming a movie, not secretly filming. They misunderstood!"
"Okay, okay, Director Lu, please don't worry, I'll tell them." After briefly comforting Lu Ye, Li Qiang began to explain to the two Japanese soldiers in a gibbering voice.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese soldier didn't even hear a word of it and insisted that Old Zhao was a spy sent by the enemy. No matter how Li Qiang explained, he didn't want to believe it.
With no choice but to watch, Old Zhao was dragged into the basement by the two Japanese soldiers.
Just after Lao Zhao was taken away, Li Qiang unexpectedly heard someone curse "shit" in a low voice. Although the voice was not loud, Li Qiang heard it very clearly, so he immediately followed the sound and looked around.
He quickly spotted a figure from behind in the crowd of onlookers.
Although he only saw a back figure, Li Qiang still recognized that person at a glance.
Is there another hidden story behind this matter?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Lu Ye muttering to himself: "Damn old Zhao, he told him to be careful, but he didn't listen, as if I was harming him. Now it's better, I'm being beaten."
Not only did they take away the camera, they also took it away. It was really..."
After hearing this, Li Qiang finally couldn't help but ask: "Director Lu, what on earth is going on?"
"Don't mention it. I originally planned to shoot several scenes with the police in this movie, but just this morning, Lao Zhao came to me and said that he had a way to save the crew a performance fee, so he took the responsibility
I went there with the camera in hand, and then I was discovered by the two Japanese soldiers."
"Director Lu, I'm not trying to scare you. This kind of thing can be big or small. If the Japanese get serious and refuse to let you go, not to mention that old Zhao, even you will be involved!"
"Who says it's not the case! Why am I so unlucky to have such a thing happen to me!"
"Director Lu, the matter has come to an end, so don't complain here. You should quickly think of how to make big things into small things and make small things into small things!"
"You think I don't want to? The problem is that I simply can't figure out how to make a big deal into a small matter, and make a trivial matter into a trivial matter!"
Hearing what he said, Li Qiang already had some concerns in his heart, so he sighed in a pretense, pondered for a long time before finally speaking: "Look, it's useless to talk to those soldiers about this kind of thing.
, we can only go directly to that Yamamoto Kazuki."
"Well, that makes sense." Lu Ye nodded quickly after hearing this, but then frowned again, "It's just that I always feel that it would be more appropriate to find a third party to mediate this kind of matter, what do you think?
,Brother Du?"
Li Qiang was waiting for his words, so he quickly said in agreement: "What Director Lu said is true, but the hotel is still on lockdown. Where can we find a third party to mediate?"
"Look at what you said, Brother Du, aren't you the most suitable candidate?"
"Me?" As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang was immediately shocked, "No, no, Director Lu, you really think too highly of me. I'm just a newspaper reporter, and I don't know anything about negotiation and mediation. Besides, just now
It’s not like you haven’t seen that I can’t even convince two Japanese soldiers, so how can I convince their captain?”
"Isn't there no other way to do it? Now that things have happened, I can only act as a doctor. Brother Du, as long as you are willing to do this for me, no matter what the outcome is, I will accept it. It will be alright, right?
?”
"This... okay, I can give it a try, but I have my word first, Director Lu. No matter what the final result is, don't blame me."
"Of course, I, Lu Ye, always keep my word." After saying that, he took out a pure gold pocket watch and stuffed it into Li Qiang's hand, "This is a little bit of my thoughts, please brother Du
Be sure to accept it, and I’ll give you a big thank you when it’s done! Please!”
"Eating people has a short mouth, and taking people has a short hand. Don't worry, Director Lu, I will do my best, little brother."
After saying that, he put the pocket watch into his pocket, and then entered the elevator under Lu Ye's extremely grateful gaze. He went straight to the fourth floor of the hotel and found Matsuoka Yoyo who was personally guarding the door of Matsuoka Yoyo's room.
Kazuki Yamamoto.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Du. It's not convenient for the Foreign Minister to see guests now. Please go back! If you have anything important, you can leave a message and I will convey it on your behalf."
"No, no, no, Captain Yamamoto, you misunderstood. I am not here to see Mr. Matsuoka, but to you."
"Find me?"
"Yes, regarding the candid shooting incident just now, I have an important discovery to report to Captain Yamamoto."
"What important discovery?"
So Li Qiang truthfully recounted his findings to Yamamoto Kazuki.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, my memory of that person's appearance is absolutely correct. Therefore, I suspect that there may be some hidden meaning in this matter."
"Mere suspicion is not enough. After all, that guy is different from that Wang Peter. There must be conclusive evidence." At this point, Yamamoto Kazuki fell into deep thought, and it took him a long time to make up his mind.
Li Qiang said, "Okay, you go and review the photographer first, see if you can come up with anything, and then make the next plan."
"Isn't this... inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with this? It's not the first time. In this case, I'll send you another helper, Ozawa!"
Before he finished speaking, a Japanese soldier ran over from the depths of the corridor, "My subordinate is here!"
"From now on, you must follow Mr. Du every step of the way until the truth about the candid filming incident is found out."
"yes!"
Of course, Li Qiang knew in his heart that he was not sending helpers to himself, but was clearly sending someone to monitor him.
But even so, Li Qiang still happily accepted Yamamoto Kazuki's arrangement and took Ozawa directly to the basement.
At this time, Lao Zhao was curled up on the ground, moaning in pain. It was obvious that he had just received some special care.
So Li Qiang entered the scene almost instantly, stepped forward quickly, leaned down, and said with concern: "Old Zhao, Old Zhao! Are you okay?"
Looking at Old Zhao again, although he tried very hard to open his eyes, he could only barely open them a crack, and said vaguely: "Who..."
"It's me, Lao Zhao, Du Fei, do you still recognize me?"
Hearing this, Old Zhao was startled for a moment, and then nodded slowly, "I know, I know... you... how did you get in?"
"To tell you the truth, I was entrusted by Director Lu, and it took a lot of effort to bribe the guards to let me in. I won't say anything more. I just want to ask you one thing. Did you take any secret photos?"
"No! In the conscience of heaven and earth, if I, Old Zhao, tell even half a lie, I will... be struck by thunder from the sky and die!"
"That's strange. Then why do the people in the security team insist that you are a spy sent by the enemy?"
"How do I know this? Maybe they made a mistake and took the video recorder in my hand as a spy camera?"
"Old Zhao, I'm not trying to scare you. You've caused such big trouble that even the Security Bureau has been alerted. I heard that their torture methods are even worse than No. 76. If you fall into their hands,
That would not be like what we are doing now, where we are just suffering a little physical pain."
With just one sentence, Old Zhao shuddered unconsciously and became a little awkward when speaking, "This... Mr. Du... Mr. Du, what should I do?"
"Don't worry. Director Lu is still trying his best to negotiate with the security team, but his words are unfounded and they don't believe it at all. Unless we can provide conclusive evidence to prove that you are not a local spy, it will definitely
I won’t let you out.”
"Conclusive evidence?"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang keenly noticed that Old Zhao's eyes suddenly moved. This was a subconscious reaction when his brain was thinking, so he became even more convinced that this person must be hiding something.
But even though he had seen through it, Li Qiang did not point it out, but continued to say with an embarrassed look: "Yes, but let me tell you, this is just a reason they used to prevaricate Director Lu. After all, they want to prove that a person is incompetent."
It's almost impossible to commit sin. However, it's not impossible at all. It just depends on whether you can cooperate."
