"What's the good thing about being a patrolman? You don't make much money, you get disgraced every day, and you get scolded by foreign devils at every turn. Let me tell you, I know a black market voice guy..."
Seeing that this person was chattering incessantly, Xu Siqi quickly stopped the conversation and said, "Sorry, I have something else to do. Let's talk some other time."
"Wait a moment!"
"What else?"
"I almost forgot to ask... what did you do just now? I was sleeping soundly and you woke me up." A Gui looked dissatisfied.
Xu Siqi said apologetically: "I'm really sorry. I was debugging the radio just now, so I disturbed you a lot. I will pay attention to it in the future."
"I sleep at home during the day and go out to work at night, so I try to keep my voice as low as possible during the day."
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
"Hey, what's your name?"
"My surname is Xu."
"Inspector Xu, I no longer work at Nuanxiang Tower. I am now a backup dancer at Paramount. If you have time, please remember to come and support me."
"Okay, okay, see you later."
"Bye~"
In Agui's coquettish voice, Xu Siqi gently closed the door.
Everything has two sides. In fact, having such a neighbor is a good thing for an agent. There is no danger to such a person.
Xu Siqi carefully checked all the rooms, focusing on the places with power sources to prevent someone from pre-installing bugs. After all, this was a house rented by the Secret Service.
From a probability point of view, this possibility is very small. The Secret Service has limited capabilities in the concession, and it is unlikely to waste manpower and material resources on monitoring a person who has passed the inspection.
Xu Siqi firmly believes in one sentence: Be careful and you will never make a big mistake.
Tuk Tuk!
There was another knock on the door.
Xu Siqi thought, could it be that dancing girl Agui again?
As the saying goes, bitches love golden girls and they love beauty.
Although Agui is a wealthy woman, she is still young, so under the same conditions, she naturally likes handsome men.
Xu Siqi has good appearance and is very attractive to women. Agui was reluctant to leave just now because he hoped to get closer to his new neighbor.
"Who is it?"
"I."
The door opened, he walked in with a solemn smile, closed the door, looked around, and praised: "Not bad, much better than my place."
"Didn't you go on a business trip to Suzhou? Are you back so soon?" Xu Siqi said with a straight face.
He said solemnly: "Siqi, you can't blame me for this. You were an outsider at that time. As an agent, I cannot expose my identity at will."
Xu Siqi was silent for a while, sighed softly, and said: "I don't blame you, I just feel... Well, if we don't talk about this anymore, why are you here?"
"Don't not say it. It's so uncomfortable to hold the words in your heart. If you have something to say, say it in person!"
"It's just words."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, hurry up."
"...Seriously, do you feel that we are all on a path that is contrary to our ideals?"
"What do you mean?"
"When you were studying, you aspired to become a doctor who could treat illnesses and save lives. Who would have thought that you would become an agent with a gun to kill people. As for me, I am determined to follow the example of the sage Yu the Great and become a water conservancy engineer to benefit future generations..."
He solemnly smiled bitterly and said: "Forget about ideals, haven't you heard what people say, ideals are just a dream of youth and ignorance. Now that we have grown up, matured, and woke up from our dreams, we have chosen to face reality. It's that simple."
Xu Siqi smiled, pretending to be relaxed and said: "You're right, let's face reality! Okay, tell me, why are you here?"
"Captain Weng said that you lack experience in this area, so let me team up with you and try my best to take care of you... where is the ashtray?" He solemnly took out the cigarette and looked around and asked.
"So, this is a matter of experience. It's really not possible if you don't have anyone to look after you."
Xu Siqi pretended to be ignorant. A newcomer who had not received special agent training should not act too sophisticated, otherwise it would appear inconsistent with his identity and circumstances.
"Before each action, the scene must be surveyed in advance. You are the inspector of the patrol room, so it is more convenient to enter and exit the Licha Hotel." He explained solemnly and patiently.
"Yes, yes, the instructor also talked about similar things during the new recruit training in the patrol room a few days ago..."
Halfway through the words, Xu Siqi frowned and said, "I almost forgot one thing."
"What's wrong?"
"I originally made an appointment with Miss Gu to visit Gu Mansion at noon today..."
"Siqi, you're good, you're progressing very quickly. It's not even a month yet, and you're already meeting your father-in-law and mother-in-law?" he said jokingly.
Xu Siqi said: "Don't talk nonsense, I just went to Gu Mansion to have a casual meal."
He curled his lips solemnly and said, "Come on, I've never heard of Gu Gongguan inviting a man to his home for dinner. In my opinion, if this continues, you and Gu Xiaoniu will be able to worship heaven and earth before the end of the year."
Xu Siqi smiled and said, "Okay, let me lend you some good words."
He laughed solemnly: "The fox's tail is finally exposed, let's see how you still pretend!"
When he came out of his home and met several apartment residents in the corridor, Xu Siqi greeted them all politely.
Zheng Zheng and Xu Siqi are paired together, which has an inherent advantage. The two are already friends, and their interactions with each other will not attract any special attention.
The two of them took a car and arrived near the Licha Hotel, and found a public phone booth on the street. Xu Siqi walked in, picked up the phone and dialed Gu Mansion's number.
After the call was connected, Gu Qingcheng's voice came from the receiver: "Hello?"
"it's me."
"You heard it, what happened?"
"Well, Qingcheng, I have something to do temporarily, so..."
"You're not coming?"
"right."
"Really, what you say doesn't mean what you say!"
"I'm sorry, Qingcheng."
A busy signal came from the receiver and Gu Qingcheng hung up the phone.
Leaning solemnly at the door of the phone booth, he asked doubtfully: "Siqi, isn't Gu Xiaoniu's name Gu Linglong? Who is Qingcheng?"
Xu Siqi said: "Gu Linglong's sister."
He solemnly said in surprise: "Gu Xiaoniu has a sister? How come I heard people say that there is only one young lady when you come out of Gu Mansion..."
"Don't look back!" Xu Siqi lowered the brim of his hat and pretended to squat down to tie his shoelaces.
Zheng Zheng remained calm, took out a cigarette, lit one, and whispered: "What's going on?"
Xu Siqi said: "Behind you at nine o'clock, the man wearing a blue and white plaid suit and a peaked cap is named Kobayashi Hikoro. The other man is wearing a navy blue mandarin jacket and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. His name is
Masahiro Ito.”
"Who are they?"
"Japanese spy."
Xu Siqi was talking while his mind was thinking quickly.
In normal times, it would be nothing to meet these two people. The Richa Hotel is Shanghai's leading high-end hotel, and it is normal for people from Ito Trading Company to come here.
The question is, there will be a Spring Festival reception here tonight. Will these two guys come over to inspect the scene in advance like me?
