Jiang Xinyu stood in front of the window, watching people coming and going on the street. Two policemen walked straight towards the hotel with square steps.
Tong Tong peeled an orange, stood up and handed it to Jiang Xinyu, saying, "It's very sweet, I just tasted it."
Jiang Xinyu took the orange, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth, and said, "Tongtong, do you want to know who is spying on me?"
Tong Tong's eyes lit up and he said eagerly: "Have you found him?"
Jiang Xinyu nodded.
"who is it?"
"If nothing else happens, we will see the results soon!"
"Here we go again!"
At this time, there was a noise in the corridor. Tong Tong remained still and listened attentively, holding out his index finger to signal Jiang Xinyu to stay quiet.
In the corridor, accompanied by the hotel owner, the police were knocking on the door from door to door, "Tuk Tuk! Tuk Tuk!"
The boss said from the side: "Mr. Zhao, please open the door for a routine inspection!"
The guest opened the door and complained: "It's so good, what's there to check?"
The boss explained: "The police officer said that he received a report that there is a fugitive living in our place. Please be patient..."
What follows is a routine cross-examination.
"Name?"
"Zhang Baochang."
"Where are you from?"
“Port Arthur.”
"What are you doing in Peiping?"
"Do some small business..."
Listening to the reply outside the door, Tong Tong stood up and prepared to go back to his room.
Jiang Xinyu stopped her and said, "I haven't found you yet, please wait."
Tong Tong put on his newly bought woolen coat, looked left and right in the mirror, and said, "What are you waiting for? The police are checking your ID. You have to go out for inspection sooner or later."
Jiang Xinyu looked at her for a while and said, "Tongtong, you were not like this before."
"What was I like before?"
"At times like this, you will definitely not cooperate with the inspection on purpose, and you may even take the opportunity to cause trouble."
"Have I changed?"
"Kind of."
"Do you know why?"
"have no idea."
"I know you are a Communist, but I don't want to cause trouble for you. It's as simple as that... Xinyu, is this dress beautiful?"
"……pretty."
"I really regret it. I should have bought that gray one. There are no such good clothes in Chongqing..."
Jiang Xinyu suddenly realized that Tong Tong had indeed restrained himself a lot since he learned about his underground party identity. Although trouble-making problems occurred from time to time, it was not entirely her fault.
The interrogation in the corridor continued.
"Name?"
"He Yuanwei."
Hearing the name, Jiang Xinyu said: "Tongtong, you can go back now."
Tong Tong walked to the door, stopped and turned around and said, "What should we have for dinner?"
"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Xinyu walked over and opened the door for her.
Tongtong rolled his eyes and said, "I want to eat... Quanjude's roast duck!"
"good."
"No regrets!"
"No regrets."
Coming out of the room, Tong Tong slowed down and saw the police interrogating the man named He Yuanwei diagonally opposite the door of Room 7.
He Yuanwei was not tall, had a handlebar mustache, and wore a pair of brown sunglasses. When he saw Tong Tong looking over, he turned sideways deliberately.
Even so, Tong Tong still felt that this person looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before. She stepped closer and looked at He Yuanwei carefully.
The boss said from the side: "Miss Tong, please go back to your room and wait for inspection."
"Oh, okay, okay..." Tong Tong agreed without moving.
The policeman said to He Yuanwei: "What did you say you were doing in Peking?"
"Travel." He Yuanwei said.
Although he said as little as possible, Tong Tong still heard it immediately and said in surprise: "You, are you Mrs. Zhao?"
The policeman looked at Tong Tong, then at He Yuanwei, and said, "Mrs. Zhao? Are you a woman?"
"No, she recognized the wrong person, I don't know her at all..." He Yuanwei became obviously panicked.
The policeman stared at He Yuanwei for a while and said, "Take out your ID!"
"Wait a moment." He Yuanwei returned to the room and opened the door ajar.
The two policemen came together and whispered.
"I'm just telling you, why does this guy speak so sharply and softly? It turns out he's a woman disguised as a man!"
"Do you think he will be a fugitive?"
"The problem is, there is no female prisoner escaping in the investigation report..."
"Yeah...why does it take so long to get the ID?"
"not good!"
Two policemen rushed into the room and saw no one in the living room. The bedroom door was closed. They pushed it and it seemed to be locked inside.
"The hotel has a spare key, let them get it!"
"Boss, bring me the key!"
In Room No. 11, Jiang Xinyu stood in front of the window, opened a corner of the curtain, and watched "He Yuanwei" grab a rope and jump down.
When he was about to land, he stretched out his feet and pushed on the wall to slow down his descent, then let go and landed on the ground.
He turned around and glanced upstairs, then quickly disappeared from Jiang Xinyu's sight.
When the boss got the key, the police rushed into the bedroom and saw no one except the rope tied to the window frame.
The boss followed him in, leaned down and looked downstairs, and said in surprise: "So it's a female snitch?"
There was a suitcase on the bed, with nothing in it except a few changes of women's clothes. This further confirmed that He Yuanwei was indeed a woman!
Tong Tong was also surprised. She didn't go back to her room and walked quickly to Room 11, planning to tell Jiang Xinyu about it.
The police stopped her and said, "Miss, you can't go anywhere for the time being. Come with us."
"Why?"
"You know the fugitive and you need to go to the police station to record a statement."
"I'm not going, I don't have time!"
"Miss, we are performing official duties, and I hope you can cooperate!"
Judging from Tong Tong's dress, she looked like the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. The police did not dare to be too presumptuous until their identity was verified.
Jiang Xinyu opened the door and walked out, took out his ID and handed it over, saying: "You don't need to intervene in this case."
The policeman took the certificate, looked at it carefully, and said politely: "Sorry, we need to verify your identity, please wait a moment."
Jiang Xinyu made an indifferent gesture and took Tong Tong back to the room.
As soon as he closed the door, Tong Tong said impatiently: "Xinyu, do you know who He Yuanwei is? He is actually..."
Tong Tong was stunned for a while, and then said with a sudden realization: "Oh, I understand... Sayuri Yamaguchi disguises herself as a woman and lives across the street. You already knew that, right?"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "I finally confirmed He Yuanwei's true identity yesterday when I was on the overpass!"
