Jiang Bin took out cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Xu Siqi.
Xu Siqi glanced at it and said while driving: "Quit."
Jiang Bin was surprised: "Why did you suddenly quit smoking?"
"My throat is uncomfortable." Xu Siqi said perfunctorily.
Gu Linglong suffers from allergic pharyngitis and will cough endlessly whenever she smells smoke.
When the weather is cold, the windows at home cannot be opened frequently for ventilation.
Without much hesitation, Xu Siqi simply quit smoking.
In this matter, his idea is very simple. If he doesn't smoke anymore, he will only benefit others and himself, and there will be no harm.
Jiang Bin lit the cigarette and took two puffs: "Do you know Ning Zhicheng?"
Xu Siqi thought for a while: "I know. The business manager of Yingbai Firm."
"That's just his superficial identity. In fact, he is an intelligence agent of the Communist Party."
"Is he a Communist?"
"right."
"Is there any evidence?"
"Yes. However, this matter involves too much, so it is not suitable to be spread out for the time being. Major Xu, I hope you can understand. To make a long story short, Ning Zhicheng will be in contact with his superior tonight."
"What time?"
"tonight."
"No accurate time?"
"The Communist Party is very cunning. They put up a smoke bomb to spread suspicion... But that's not important. Ning Zhicheng will definitely meet with his boss tonight."
“Where is the connection?”
"It's tentatively scheduled to be at Yong'an Department Store."
"Not sure about the location?"
"As I said just now, the Communist Party is using it to solve all potential dangers by spreading doubts. They are not 100% sure and they will not easily join forces."
"Where is Ning Zhicheng now?"
"In an hour, he will appear on the rooftop of Wing On Department Store."
"sure?"
"Sure."
Xu Siqi thought for a while: "I understand. If you keep an eye on Ning Zhicheng and eliminate interference, you will have a chance to know who his upline is."
Jiang Bin nodded: "Yes. Major Xu, what do you think?"
"I will immediately deploy my manpower to spy on Ning Zhicheng."
"You want to arrest them?"
"certainly."
"no."
"Why?"
"If the patrol room arrests someone, if no evidence can be found, they will be released without charge in three or two days."
Xu Siqi pretended to be dissatisfied: "Why, you don't have confidence in me?"
Jiang Bin said: "It's not that I don't have confidence..."
"I am confident that my methods of interrogating prisoners will not be worse than anyone else's!"
"Major Xu, you misunderstood. This is what I think. If the police station arrests people, even if they can prove that they are Communists, they will only be imprisoned for a year and a half at most, or deported. After a while, those guys will
If you change your identity, you will still come out to cause trouble. For us, the gain outweighs the loss."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Our people will come forward, secretly arrest the two people, hold them on the spot, conduct surprise interrogations, and ask them about the secrets of Shanghai's underground organization."
"Detention on the spot?"
"Yes. This is a concession after all. If you arrest someone, you won't be able to get out. You can only detain them on the spot."
"The national police department has no law enforcement power in the concession. If this matter leaks out..."
"This is why I came to you."
"What do you need me to do?"
"When arresting people, I am worried that I will bump into the patrolman, and I will need your secret help..."
Xu Siqi understood that it was his duty to prevent the patrol from interfering.
Detective Hua arrested two people, what could be the problem?
While talking, the car drove near Yong'an Department Store.
At this time, it started to rain lightly in the sky.
Xu Siqi slowed down the car.
"Park here." Jiang Bin pointed to the alley on the left.
After parking the car, the two got out of the car.
Across the street is Wing On Department Store. Even if it rains, it can't stop people's shopping enthusiasm.
The crowd is bustling, and customers are constantly entering and exiting the department store.
Opposite Yong'an Department Store, there is a seven-story building.
There is a bronze plaque nailed to the wall: Maolin Building.
When it comes to Maolin Building, one has to mention a famous name - the Sassoon family.
The Sassoon family was Jewish and first served as financial officials in Bagoda.
Later, many countries in the world launched anti-Semitic campaigns, and Bagoda was no exception.
The Sassoon family had no choice but to go through many difficulties and dangers on a dark and stormy night, and fled to the Commonwealth of India in Bombay, where they became British citizens.
Jewish people seem to have a talent for business in their genes.
For more than ten years in Bombay, the Sassoon family exported British cotton products and Indian opium to China on a large scale.
For China, this was the beginning of the original sin of the Sassoon family.
When Lin Zexu destroyed opium in Humen, nearly half of the opium belonged to the Sassoon family. To a certain extent, the British Empire launched the Opium War for the Sassoon family.
After the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing, the Sassoon family saw the opportunity and shifted its business focus to Shanghai.
During this period, the person in charge of the family power was Victor Sassoon.
He once served in the Royal Air Force and was later awarded a hereditary baronet. Because he injured his leg in the war, he was known as Sir Walking Foot.
The Sassoon family's investments were diverse.
For example, Amway, HSBC, including the Peace Hotel, etc., are all companies under the Sassoon family name.
The most commendable investment that made Victor Sassoon successful was his massive entry into the Shanghai real estate industry.
There are a total of 28 high-rise buildings with more than ten floors in Shanghai, 6 of which belong to the Sassoon family.
It is no exaggeration to say that most of the wealth accumulated by the Sassoon family originated from China.
…
Xu Siqi, who is a Chinese detective, also knows the internal structure of Maolin Building very well.
The first, second and third floors are dance halls, Western restaurants, bars, billiard rooms, etc.
All floors above the fourth floor are apartments.
Most of the residents here are employees of the Sassoon family, both Chinese and foreign.
In addition, there are a small number of tenants.
Therefore, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of residents, there are doors at the front and rear of the building.
Guests go through the front door and residents go through the back door.
Under the guidance of Jiang Bin, the two went around to the back door of Maolin Building and went up the stairs directly to the seventh floor.
Follow the long corridor until you reach the door of Room 18 at the end.
Jiang Bin stopped, looked around, and then reached out to knock on the door.
The door mirror dimmed for a moment, and the door opened immediately.
It was A Yuan who opened the door.
The room was empty, except for two lone chairs in front of the window, and not even a table.
In the corner, there is a telephone.
Jiang Bin asked: "A Yuan, how is the situation?"
A Yuan said: "Everything is normal."
"Is anyone here?"
"No."
"Did you have meal?"
"Nope."
"Go, find a place to eat, and buy me a pack of cigarettes."
"What brand of cigarettes do you smoke?"
"Three five. Hurry up, twenty minutes at most."
"I'm going to eat quickly and I'll be back in fifteen minutes."
A Yuan opened the door and walked out quickly.
