The receptionist picked up the key, looked at the number, looked at the counter, and immediately said: "Thank you, madam. The guest in this room did say that he lost a key. Thank you for bringing it to us."
Qiao Yanfang smiled and said, "As long as it's yours, you don't have to be polite."
She turned around and pretended to leave, lowered her head and took out the photo of the old beggar from her bag. She turned around and said to the waiter: "Sir, I came to look for this gentleman today, but I didn't find him. Do you know what happened?"
?”
The receptionist looked at the photo and said with a deep apology: "I'm really sorry. This gentleman left the room in the afternoon. There were several of them and they said they were here for a meeting. Sorry, ma'am, I couldn't help you."
Qiao Yanfang said: "You don't have to apologize, I can find him!"
She felt that she was very close to the old beggar! Maybe she would be able to find him soon!

"Takaji-kun, will they, our enemies, find this place?"
It was already late at night, both indoors and outdoors were quiet. A crescent moon was dimly visible outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Kawakami, Takaji, Sasaki, Matuji and Kuriyama were all sitting in this room, looking at Mr. Sato who was sitting by the window.
Mr. Sato looked at Takashi beside him with a smile and asked him this sentence.
Tingji nodded and said softly: "Although this Deming Hotel is the best hotel in Wuhan and very famous, it is not next to the main avenue and the location is relatively hidden. On the one hand, the hotel keeps the status of the guests staying in the hotel very confidential.
,On the other hand, guests coming in and out can hide our whereabouts.”
Mr. Sato nodded, looked at the others and said, "Have you all made arrangements?"
Everyone else in the room nodded, indicating that arrangements had been made.
Mr. Sato continued: "Maetsu and Kuriyama, your identities have been exposed, so don't show up again. In the next step, you two have a very important mission, so be more careful. Takaji and Kawakami have learned from Chen Zifeng and others.
, is the most shrewd and cunning enemy! Don’t be careless!”
He turned to Tingji again, "Have you seen that Geng tonight?"
Yingji replied: "Yes, we met. We are going to arrange another time to meet with the person he introduced. This is no problem. When I arrived at No. 12 Tianshui Street in the afternoon, they were already waiting outside the door! It's really strange.
!”
Mr. Sato said: "We must have exposed a flaw somewhere! Let's not go into details about this! We should concentrate on dealing with these people, otherwise, it will be detrimental to our next mission!"
At this time, Takaji said with a smile: "Mr. Sato, please don't worry about it. I just got the news that someone will deal with them tomorrow! The person who gave me the news said that they can be knocked down at once! At least they will be kept for a long time.
, nothing can be done!”
Sato asked: "Really? What's going on?"
Ying Si said: "People like Chen Zifeng threaten the interests of others! Those people found a perfect opportunity to kill them all at once! After tomorrow, they are no longer a threat!"
Sato smiled and said: "I really hope to see their results tomorrow as soon as possible!"

However, this night has not passed yet.
Some seemingly unrelated things are still quietly running in the dark. Maybe at some point, these unrelated things will affect the important events of a big shot!
In Wuchang, Hulinyi Road is the only way to get to the East Gate of Wuchang. After exiting the East Gate and heading east, you will reach Hongshan. After passing Hongshan, there is a not-so-wide dirt road that continues eastward and passes by a small alley called Donghu Lane.
.
Donghu Lane is not close to East Lake, but there is a big house in the lane called Donghu Garden. This is how the lane got its name.
East Lake Garden is the residence and incense hall of Ge Zhaoxian, the master of Hongshan Hall in Hongmen.
At this time, the night was getting dark, the humidity was rising, and the East Lake Lane was silent.
There was a sound of crickets chirping, and three figures gradually floated out of the damp mist. They passed the gate of East Lake Garden and continued to move forward. In front of them, at the corner of the house wall, there were several low-rise bungalows.
The three figures whispered a few words to each other, then climbed up the bungalow like civet cats, and then climbed up the wall of East Lake Garden.
The three people jumped into the wall silently. This is the side courtyard of Donghu Garden, mainly used for warehouses and warehouses, and few people usually come here.
In the past few days, the scar-faced man, under the orders of the eldest daughter of the Chi family, went out every night to secretly inspect Hongmen's real estate. Today he focused on the house of Ge Zhaoxian, the leader of Hongmen's East Lake Hall. He judged that Ma Sanji was most likely to be locked up.
it's here!
The three of them quietly separated, looking around like ghosts. The scarred man checked the warehouses one by one. There was no need to look at the ones that were not locked. When he encountered a locked house, he looked in through the window.
The other two brothers were scattered nearby, searching and observing the movement.
At this time, the scar-faced man walked outside the door of a small warehouse. The small warehouse was very dilapidated, but there was a big lock on the door. He moved a step, only to find that the small window of the warehouse was nailed shut with slats.
He became suspicious. Then he pulled out the dagger and slowly pried open the slats on the window.
Although his movements were gentle, he still made some creaking sounds.
He finally pried off a wooden board and looked into the warehouse.
Suddenly, a black head appeared out of the window, scarface was startled.
The man shouted in a low voice: "Brother Scar, Brother Scar, I am Masan! Save me!"
The scar-faced man asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? Tell me quickly!"
Masan said hurriedly: "The people from the Yang family arrested me and kept asking me where the goods were hidden..."
Right here, I heard a shout from nearby: "There is a thief! Someone is coming! Catch the thief!"
Soon, several figures jumped out from the small door over there and rushed towards Scarface.
Scarface's two brothers immediately pulled out their daggers and went to fight!
A brother turned around and shouted: "Brother, go quickly! Go quickly!"
The scar-faced man hurriedly asked Masan in the window: "Where is the goods! Tell me quickly! Where is the goods! Tell me quickly!"
When Masan saw the fighting there, he said incoherently: "In Mingguang... In Mingguang..."
At this time, more people rushed into the side courtyard. Some people entangled the two brothers, while others rushed towards Scarface.
Before Scarface could ask any more questions, he picked up the dagger and turned back to resist! He stabbed one down first, and then rushed towards the two brothers.
Only then did he see that both brothers were injured! He couldn't stay here for long! He had to evacuate quickly!
The three of them were back to back, protecting each other and assisting each other! Gradually getting closer to the wall!
When they reached the wall, the scarred man was extremely brave and resisted the attackers alone, then turned back to help the two brothers climb the wall one after another.
The brothers on the wall shouted: "Brother! Get up!"
The big man with the scarred face swung his dagger and stabbed one of them down. He roared like a tiger and jumped up.
The brother on the wall had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed him by the collar of his clothes, swung him out with all his strength, and threw him out of the wall.
The three of them got off the fence and ran away into the distance like flying without touching the ground.
By the time the people in East Lake Garden chased them out, they had already disappeared!
9-37
At dawn, the scarred man and his two brothers, covered in blood, finally returned to Chi's house.
After Chi Jun got the news, he got out of bed, put on his black cloak, and Li's mother held a lantern and went to the small courtyard at the back.
In the hut, a big man with a scar face and two brothers were bandaging wounds.
Without saying a word, Chi Jun rolled up his sleeves, cleaned their wounds, applied gold ointment, and bandaged them.
Treating injuries, applying medicine, and bandaging are skills she has learned since she was a child. Her uncle Chi Yushan taught her step by step.
During this time, Scarface said: "Miss, we found Masan!"
Chi Jun suddenly raised his head, "Where is it!"
"In the East Lake Garden in Hongshan! Ge Zhaoxian's house!"
"You saw him!"
"We saw it! The Ge family had already discovered us at that time. Masan and I said a few words, but we didn't make it clear!"
"What did you say! Tell me quickly!"
"He said that people from the Yang family kept asking him where the goods were hidden!"
"This means that Ma San has hidden the goods!" Chi Jun's eyes became sharp and he stared at Scarface.
"Yes! I asked him where he was hiding! He just said, in Mingguang! He didn't have time to say anything more!"
Chi Jun checked the bandages of the two brothers again and said, "Take good care of them and don't catch cold water."
She looked up at the scarred face and asked again: "In the bright light!"
Scarface whispered: "There are only these three words, I don't know what they mean!"
Chi Jun nodded and said, "I can find it!" and then said, "Brother Scar, rest. At least I know where Masan is!"
9-38
Chi Jun left the small courtyard, and Li's mother still held a lantern and walked to the front courtyard.
They stopped at the gate and waited quietly.
After a moment, they saw Mr. Chi and several brothers slowly patrolling along the wall.
Mr. Chi was surprised when he saw the eldest lady and asked in a low voice: "Girl, what's going on!"
Chi Jun waved to the brothers around him and watched them retreat into the distance. This situation made Chi Sanye nervous.
"Third Master," Chi Jun whispered: "Brother Scar found out that Masan was imprisoned in Ge Zhaoxian's house!"
"East Lake Garden!" Mr. Chi asked in surprise.
"Yes! Brother Scar and the others went in, but were discovered. Brother Scar managed to escape with a little effort!"
"Oh my God! This is such a big trouble!"
"Third Master, Masan said, he hid the goods! He said three words: In Mingguang! If Third Master thinks of something, he should find a way to find it! It's best to find it first!"
Chi Sanye nodded vigorously, "Okay, leave this matter to me! What else is there!"
Chi Jun said in a lower voice: "Third Master, the Yang Mansion may come tonight! Third Master, please check Huo Zhu carefully!"
Mr. Chi looked at her in shock and was almost speechless!
The Chi Yang family once killed each other until the sky was dark and blood flowed like rivers. This was something he had experienced when he was young! It was also something that the government did not dare to take care of and could not take care of! In the end, the governor came forward and made peace with both sides, and then things gradually stopped.
.
My eldest brother was still there at that time! I personally checked Huo Zhu every night!
Now it’s me, Third Master Chi, who is checking Huo Zhu! Do the Chi Yang family really want to start fighting again?
At this time, he really didn't dare to think about it anymore!
