Jiang Xinyu was a latent agent and only had one-way contact with Chen Dasheng, so he did not know that there was an underground party's transportation liaison station not far from his residence.
"Who is that woman?" Zeng Che put down his chopsticks and asked.
"Her name is Yamaguchi Ayako, she is a Japanese female student."
"Are you familiar with her?"
Jiang Xinyu briefly told Zeng Che the cause and effect of the incident.
Zeng Che pondered for a while and said: "I think this is a rare opportunity for you! You can use this relationship to gain the trust of the Japanese, and then wait for an opportunity to get the information we need!"
"Hattori Hikoo is very vigilant and will not easily trust a Chinese."
"Don't be impatient with this kind of thing, you have to take your time. As a lurker, patience is very important!"
"Then let me try."
Zeng Che glanced at his watch and said, "That's it for today. I have to go back. I have to report to the superiors about your joining the military. I guess it won't be a big problem. I'll contact you then."
"good."
Zeng Che stood up and left the noodle shop. Jiang Xinyu finished smoking a cigarette and waved: "Man, pay the bill!"
The temperature began to drop in the evening. Jiang Xinyu wrapped up his windbreaker and walked slowly along the street. He was still thinking about the scene he just saw Yamaguchi Ayako. Why did she appear on Qiaodong Road? Especially the suitcase was even more disturbing.
It’s puzzling, who would carry a suitcase and go shopping?
There was a dirty little beggar squatting on the street. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. His hair was as messy as dry grass. He was holding an enamel jar with a corner missing in his hand. Whenever someone passed by him, the little beggar would
The beggar kept bowing: "Sir, Madam, please do me a favor and give me some change to buy a sesame seed pancake. I haven't eaten in two days..."
His name is Wang Erwa, and everyone who knows him calls him Erwazi. He is from Xinxiang, Henan Province. Last year, there was a famine in Henan Province, and his parents died on the way to escape the famine. Pulled by the refugees, he lived all the way to Yanjin, where he relied on food every day.
Begging for food to survive.
Jiang Xinyu walked over: "Erwazi."
Erwazi raised his head: "Hey, Officer Jiang, are you off work?"
Jiang Xinyu looked into the enamel jar and said, "How much is your income?"
Erwazi grinned: "Not much, not enough for one sesame cake."
Jiang Xinyu took out his wallet, took out two banknotes and threw them into the enamel jar. He said, "It's so cold. Hurry up and have a bowl of hot noodle soup to keep warm. Don't come out at night."
Erwazi held the banknotes in his hands in surprise, stood up and bowed repeatedly: "Officer Jiang, every time I meet you, I always have a good meal, thank you..."
Jiang Xinyu looked around and said, "In the afternoon, did you see a girl carrying a black suitcase?"
Erwazi scratched his head: "The black leather suitcase... is it wearing a hat? The one that looks good?"
Jiang Xinyu kicked him and said with a smile: "Baby, you know what it means to look good but not to look good!"
Erwazi chuckled: "I'm not young anymore, I know what looks good."
Jiang Xinyu: "Yes, that's the girl. Where did she go?"
"It seems to be going that way." Erwazi pointed in the direction of the longevity material shop.
Jiang Xinyu lives on Qiaodong Road and is very familiar with this area. The direction Erwazi pointed to is the most remote section of the street. Most business shops would not choose to operate in that place. Therefore, except for Qiaodong Shoucai Shop,
Then there are two prostitution houses side by side without any signs.
"Officer Jiang, if nothing happens, can I leave?"
"Let's go."
Erwazi ran away happily. The money Jiang Xinyu gave him was enough to eat hot noodle soup for a week.
A brothel without a signboard is an unlicensed brothel. Only a red lantern is hung on the door to indicate the identity of the owner. The locals basically understand what this means.
For this type of brothels, the police station will conduct inspections from time to time, arrest some unlicensed prostitutes, fine them a sum of money and then release them. In principle, they cannot be fined too harshly and they must be allowed to continue operating, such as
It's like cutting leeks, one after another. If the roots are dug up, it will be equivalent to cutting off the police's own financial path.
Jiang Xinyu also participated in several inspections. Because these two prostitutes were near his residence, he was particularly impressed. He knew that these were genuine prostitutes and there was absolutely nothing fishy about them.
Yamaguchi Ayako is a little girl, so she is naturally unlikely to go to that kind of place. The only place left is the Qiaodong Shoucai Shop!
Did she go to the longevity shop?
Jiang Xinyu clasped his hands and watched from a distance. Hou Defa was approaching the door. A neighbor passed by the door and said casually: "Lao Hou, is it closed so early today?"
Hou Defa: "Oh, isn't that right? Shunxi has had dysentery for several days and can't even get out of bed. I'm going to see him."
"You're the shopkeeper and you're really nice to the guys. You're busy. See you later."
"Walk slowly."
…………
A week later, inside the Hongqiao Police Station.
Ray-Ban leaned back on the chair, his police hat on his face, and snored like a thunderous sound.
"This kid, he slept from left to right and slept several times today. He must have done nothing good last night!"
"The girl from Qiuyue Tower should drain him dry..."
The snoring under the police hat stopped, and Ray-Ban muttered: "A dog can't spit out ivory, but I don't have the guts like you!"
A police sergeant smiled and said: "Lei-Ban, stop pretending. I heard that you have been living in Qiuyue Building for the past two days?"
"Which grandson is spreading rumors about me again..." Lei Ban sat up straight, put his police hat on the table, and rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"What Lao Qi saw with his own eyes, can it be false? Hey, tell me which girl is it that charmed you like this? Let's go and cheer for you some other day..."
Ray-Ban grabbed the newspaper at hand and threw it over: "Go home and flatter your wife!"
While everyone was laughing, Jiang Xinyu pushed the door open and walked in: "The salary has been paid. If you haven't received it yet, go to the finance department. After a while, Chief Song will go home from get off work."
"Really? This month's salary was paid in advance..."
"Let's go, after we get our salary, let's go to Qiuyue Tower and have a good time..."
Jiang Xinyu stuffed the envelope containing his salary into his pocket, glanced at Ray-Ban who had not moved at all, and said: "Usually you are the first one to rush out when the salary is announced. What happened today? Are you playing deep?"
Ray-Ban sighed: "I have no salary to collect."
"All paid in advance?"
Ray-Ban nodded and smoked a cigarette.
Because it was almost time to get off work, Jiang Xinyu took off his police uniform and hung it in the closet, then put on his casual clothes. While buttoning up, he said: "Lei-Ban, I noticed that you have been running to Qiuyue Tower again and again. You have to pay in advance."
The paychecks are getting more and more frequent!”
