A young man in his twenties came down from upstairs. He was wearing a white black-brimmed top hat, an iron-grey suit, and his leather shoes were polished to a bright finish. He was carrying a black suitcase in his hand. He looked like that
The style of a rich man.
Waiter: "Hello, sir."
The young man put the room key on the bar and said, "My surname is Yang. I am a guest in room 86. I have booked a train ticket to Peking."
"Mr. Yang, please wait a moment... This is your ticket, please sign here." The waiter handed over a thick registration book and a pen.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the young man signed his name.
Akira Kondo, who was standing in the corner, whispered: "Major, he is Yang Feng."
Hattori Hikoo: "He is going to Peking?"
Akira Kondo: "I don't know about this. He should have booked the train tickets through the hotel in advance."
Hattori Hikoo touched his chin, thinking that if Yang Feng was leaving Yanjin tonight, he would have no choice but to arrest him. However, there was no conclusive evidence now, so it was best to leave some room. After all, all the guests who could stay at such a luxurious hotel were
He is a person with a certain status.
Thinking of this, he said loudly: "Mr. Yang Feng, please wait a moment."
Yang Feng stopped at the door, looked back at Hattori Hikoo, who was walking towards him, and said, "Sir, are you calling me?"
"right."
"It seems we don't know each other?"
"It doesn't matter. Once you get to know him, he will become familiar with you twice. It's not too late to get to know him now."
"who are you?"
"Captain of Ijinzu Military Police, Hattori Hikoo."
Yang Feng's face changed slightly: "Oh, it turns out you are the captain of the army. I'm sorry."
"Mr. Yang, I don't understand something very well. I would like to ask for advice. Is it convenient?"
"Sorry, I have to catch the last train, I'm afraid..."
"I won't delay you for a few minutes. If there is no problem, I will send someone to drive you to the train station to ensure that your schedule is not missed."
"Oh well."
Akira Kondo talked to the front office manager and said a few words. The manager immediately took them to the corner room on the first floor and said, "This is the waiter's lounge. Sir, are you satisfied with it?"
Hattori Hikoo nodded slightly: "Okay, you can go out first."
"Yes." The manager bowed and left.
Hattori Hikoo: "What line of work does Mr. Yang do?"
Yang Feng: "Do some silk and satin business."
"Are you from Hebei?"
"Yes, Hebei Shimen."
"You came to Yanjin three days ago and immediately checked into the Asia Hotel. During this period, you didn't have any contact with anyone, and then you bought a ticket to go to Peiping. I would like to ask Mr. Yang, does anyone do this kind of business?"
Yang Feng looked calm and said: "I originally wanted to see if there was any suitable business in Yanjin, but I heard that the emperor's envoy was assassinated recently and the city of Yanjin was in chaos, so I decided to go to Peking temporarily."
Hattori Hikoo nodded and said, "The explanation is quite reasonable."
"Then...can I go?"
"Tuk-tuk!" There was a knock on the door.
Akira Kondo walked over and opened the door, and in came Zhou Renjie, the captain of the detective team. This guy was in his thirties. He had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a pair of triangular eyes that moved around. His face did not look like a good person.
"Major Hattori, I heard from my brothers that you are here, and I came here specially to protect you."
Akira Kondo: "Captain Zhou, you are worrying too much. I am here to ensure the safety of Major..."
Perhaps because he remembered Gao Yuebao's assassination a few days ago, Akira Kondo let out half of his big words and didn't have the nerve to continue.
Hattori Hikoo: "Captain Zhou, you came just in time to check Mr. Yang's suitcase."
"Yes." Zhou Renjie put the suitcase down and reached out to open the copper lock.
Yang Feng stood up and said, "Commander, I don't understand, what crime have I committed?"
Hattori Hikoo motioned him to sit down and said, "Mr. Yang, don't get excited. The day you came happened to coincide with the assassination of the Emperor's envoy, so this is just a routine matter."
There were only a few neatly stacked pieces of clothing in the suitcase. Zhou Renjie reached out and knocked around the suitcase. Judging from his experience, it didn't feel like there was a mezzanine.
Hattori Hikoo glanced at Kondo Akira. Kondo Akira immediately walked over, picked up the suitcase and tried the weight. Then he shook his head at Hattori Hikoo, meaning there was nothing abnormal.
Hattori Hikoo looked very unhappy and said to Zhou Renjie, "What's going on?"
Zhou Renjie scratched his head and hesitated: "This, I don't know much about this, it's all what the people below said..."
Hattori Hikoo stood up and said with a gloomy face: "Captain Zhou, you are responsible for delivering Mr. Yang to the station!"
Zhou Renjie said with a grimace: "...Yes."
Yang Feng: "Commander, I don't think so. There's still time. I'll call a car to the train station myself, so I won't bother you."
Hattori Hikoo: "That's fine. I have guests upstairs, so I won't accompany you."
As he spoke, Hattori Hikoo left the room and was about to go to the Japanese restaurant when Jiang Xinyu, Yamaguchi Ayako, and Hattori Mina walked down the stairs.
Hattori Hikoo said in surprise: "Where are you going?"
Hattori Mina had a sullen face: "Brother, you have the nerve to ask us where we are going! You disappeared as soon as you left, and you didn't come back after waiting for a long time, so we just left."
Hattori Hikoo looked at Yamaguchi Ayako and said, "I'm really sorry. I was delayed a little by official duties just now."
Jiang Xinyu: "Major Hattori, everyone can understand that you have so many things to do every day. Besides, we have all eaten. Miss Mina and Miss Ayako insisted on sending me down..."
Hattori Mina: "It's already very rude for me to leave our guests alone. I'm trying to make up for his mistake."
While they were talking, Yang Feng walked out of the room carrying his suitcase, followed by Zhou Renjie who looked unlucky. Because they both belonged to the Japanese and puppet police system, Jiang Xinyu knew Zhou Renjie, but they had no contact. Now that he sees this scene, it is easy to understand.
What does Hattori Hikoo mean by "official business"?
Yang Feng glanced here, his eyes sweeping over like a dragonfly's glance. Because he guessed that Hattori Hikoo had just come out of the room, Jiang Xinyu paid special attention to this stranger's every move.
Yang Feng's eyes seemed to pause on someone, and then quickly moved away. Jiang Xinyu glanced along his line of sight, and happened to see Yamaguchi Ayako lowering her eyelids.
——Is this person looking at Yamaguchi Ayako?
Ordinarily, there is nothing wrong with taking another look. After all, beautiful women always attract attention. On the way out of the restaurant, there were men everywhere following Ayako Yamaguchi with greedy eyes.
But from Yang Feng's eyes, Jiang Xinyu couldn't feel the slightest greed, but more of concern...
