Chapter 222 The drunkard's intention is not to drink
The issue of private salt is not a matter of a day and a half. Hattori Hikoo suddenly mentioned this matter, which is naturally because the drunkard's intention is not to drink.
Jiang Xinyu: "Recently, I have been urging my subordinates to investigate cases in this area as soon as possible."
Hattori Hikoo: "Have you found any clues?"
"According to the tip, the owner of Wangdefu Bathhouse is suspected, but no evidence has been found yet."
"As long as it's a case that doesn't involve spies, try to find evidence to avoid outside accusations that we arrest people indiscriminately."
"yes."
"How is Li Kai?" Hattori Hikoo asked casually, seemingly casually.
"Team Leader Li is serious about his work and conscientious in his duties. He is very good."
"I heard this man has a bad temper."
"It's a little bit... Major, is there anything wrong with Li Kai?"
Chang Hongling said to Hattori Mina: "Mina, the food is almost ready. Hattori-kun and Captain Jiang are discussing business, let's avoid it."
Hattori Mina reluctantly said: "Let's talk about business..."
Seeing that Hattori Hikoo didn't say anything, Hattori Mina had no choice but to get up and follow Chang Hongling upstairs.
"I want to know if Li Kai was assigned by you to go to Wangdefu to investigate the case?" Hattori Hikoo said.
"No, I didn't give him such an order. In addition, the intelligence team is usually responsible for preliminary investigations, and the operations team is mainly responsible for arresting people."
"In that case, don't you think Li Kai's behavior is strange?"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said: "The detective team did not explicitly prohibit the action team from investigating the case. It can only be said that there is something inconsistent with the practice."
Hattori Hikoo nodded slowly. Li Kai happened to appear in Wangdefu on that day, and he happened to meet Asano Ryoichi. From the analysis of spy thinking, if there are too many coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence!
Had he understood the overt and covert struggle between Li Kai and Tian Li Gang, Hattori Hikoo would not have become suspicious, and even if Li Kai had not "accidentally met" Asano Ryoichi, Tian Li Gang would have taken over.
Jiang Xinyu spread false news just to lure these two people to Wangdefu Bath. As long as any one of them comes into contact with Asano Ryo, he will fall into the eyes of the secret observer.
Although Tian Ligang has no relationship with Asano Ryoichi, they are at least familiar to each other. If they met in Wangdefu, with the intelligence team leader's "agility", he would definitely come forward and ask a few questions.
Out of his distrust of Asano Ryōichi, Hattori Hikoo made a bold guess: Could Li Kai be a person sent by Crow, or simply Crow himself!
Because of the phrase "connecting in the same way", Hiko Hattori was even a little doubtful. The real way of communication between Asano Ryoichi and Crow might be to hand over information to each other face to face.
Jiang Xinyu said tentatively: "Major, if you think Li Kai is suspicious, would you like to send someone to monitor him?"
Hattori Hikoo waved his hand and sighed: "No, I'm just asking...the Communist spies are hiding in the detective team, and now I think everyone looks like that scabbard!"
Even if someone needs to be sent to monitor Li Kai, Hattori Hikoo doesn't want to use people from the detective team, otherwise they might alert the enemy. As long as he keeps an eye on Asano Ryoichi, if there is indeed a problem with Li Kai, he will contact Asano again sooner or later!
Hattori Hikoo took a bite of the dish and said, "Is there anything abnormal about Tian Ligang?"
"Not yet. I've sent someone to monitor it 24 hours a day."
"Ah, very good……"
There was a stomp on the stairs, and Mina Hattori, who had changed into a kimono, walked down and said, "Brother, have you finished talking about your business?"
Hattori Hikoo smiled and said: "Mina, haven't you finished eating?"
"How could I have finished eating? I was dragged away by Ayako..." Mina Hattori pouted, looking unhappy.
Hattori Hikoo: "Then sit down and continue eating...call Ayako here too."
Hattori Mina sat down and peeled the prawns while saying: "Ayako said she was full and wanted to take a rest...Brother, how long do you want to imprison Ayako?"
Hattori Hikoo frowned and said, "Where did I imprison her?"
Hattori Mina murmured in a low voice: "Not allowed to leave the yard even half a step, it's almost the same as being imprisoned..."
"Ayako asked you to ask me?"
"I thought of it myself...no one goes shopping with me."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a moment and said, "Mina, you sit with Captain Jiang for a while, and I'll go upstairs and take a look."
Hattori Mina said in a panic: "Brother, you won't quarrel with Ayako, right? It's really my own thought..."
Hattori Hikoo showed a smile on his face and said: "Don't worry, I just want to have a good talk with her."
When Hattori Hikoo went upstairs, Hattori Mina immediately started peeling the prawns, and then put them on the plate in front of Jiang Xinyu, complaining and saying: "Brother doesn't know how to entertain guests at all, he only drinks...I don't think you eat much food."
"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Who said I didn't eat vegetables? I almost ate half a sheep."
Hattori Mina stuffed the freshly peeled prawns into Jiang Xinyu's mouth and said coquettishly: "No matter how good the wine is, it cannot be eaten..."
There was a crack of thunder in the sky, followed by several dazzling flashes of lightning, and in an instant heavy rain poured down.
Hattori Mina got up and walked to the window, exclaiming: "It's raining so hard."
Jiang Xinyu also stood up and said, "It's time for me to go back."
Hattori Mina said reluctantly: "Please stay a little longer and wait until the rain subsides before leaving."
Jiang Xinyu looked at the dark sky outside the window and said: "This rain will not let up. If we wait for a while, the water on the road will be too deep and we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
Hattori Mina said with eager eyes: "It doesn't matter, there is a guest room at home. If you can't leave, you can stay here."
Jiang Xinyu stroked her smooth cheek, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Find me an umbrella."
Hattori Mina knew she couldn't keep him, so she had no choice but to bring an umbrella and hand it to Jiang Xinyu.
Jiang Xinyu glanced upstairs and said, "You tell the major for me and I won't go up. It seems inconvenient."
"Well, drive slower."
"Don't worry, it's okay."
"Remember to get a haircut tomorrow." Hattori Mina reminded her. Jiang Xinyu had mentioned to her once that he wanted a haircut, but he never had time to go.
"knew."
Jiang Xinyu quickly got into the car holding an umbrella and drove towards Qiaodong Road in the heavy rain.
Within half a minute, a black car drove out from the darkness and quietly followed Jiang Xinyu's car. The person following was very professional and always kept a safe distance.
Driving to an intersection, the traffic light turned red. Jiang Xinyu stepped on the brakes and went straight home.
There was a barber shop on the right that was still open. Jiang Xinyu touched his hair and found that it was indeed too long. He turned right and slowly stopped in front of the barber shop.
Jiang Xinyu was about to get out of the car when he glanced at the rearview mirror and couldn't help but feel something in his heart. The car that was waiting at the red light like him also turned right...
