"Tomorrow after breakfast, Mrs. Liu, Shopkeeper Wang, the gardener and the janitor will all leave. Master Zhang, the cook, will also leave immediately after lunch tomorrow. You have to wait until five o'clock in the afternoon before leaving. I am here to
Seriously, the time I mentioned cannot be exceeded at all, otherwise people like them will be in danger. By then they won’t be able to leave even if they want to."
Butler An became even more nervous:
"What on earth is going on? How come these things happen to our guild hall? Do the devils here really come to arrest people and kill them?"
"The Japs will not only come to arrest people, but they will also come to kill people! Because the Jinling Hotel is now the office and residence of the Japs' big shots. For the safety of these big shots, they will drive away and kill everyone around the Jinling Hotel.
This is why I want everyone to leave here immediately. But don't say so much to everyone. Just say that the Japanese are coming to arrest the workers soon, and tell them to leave after breakfast tomorrow. If it is later, they won't be able to leave even if they want to.
I don't want to see them die here."
Butler An Zicheng immediately said:
"Okay, I'll go and tell everyone and ask them to leave as soon as possible. What will you do if we're all gone? Where will we find you in the future?"
"After I leave the guild hall tomorrow night, I will still live in Nanjing city. Don't look for me in the future. I will look for you if I have something to do."
Zhu Youde walked into his office a little tired. As soon as he sat down, Feng Shuting, Zhang Shuishan and Jiang Hong followed him in. As soon as everyone sat down, Zhu Youde said:
"Tell me about the situation you visited at the New Era Hotel."
When Feng Shuting saw Zhu Youde asking them to discuss the situation, he then said:
"We went to see the hotel, and the hotel had just resumed business, and business was very slow. We talked to their manager, the shopkeeper in charge of the accounts, and the room foreman. They all said they had never heard of any secret secrets. Regardless of whether it was them
They have never heard of whether the hotel leads to the outside or to them from other places. Not only did we ask, we also inspected every room in the hotel. After inspection, nothing suspicious was found.
place."
After Zhu Youde heard this, he thought for a moment and then asked:
"Have you been to the photo studio and movie studio?"
Liu Haiquan answered:
"We did not go to these two places. One is that after we checked the New Era Hotel, we wanted to come back and report as soon as possible. The other two places, we analyzed them last time, and the possibility there is not high, so we
I didn’t go.”
After Zhu Youde heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs and said:
"We didn't ask anything from the Shanxi Guild Hall. But after I came back and thought about it, there are some doubts about their place that we haven't figured out yet. One is that they suddenly closed down. They said they needed internal repairs, so they stopped all external visits.
Activities. The second point is that if internal maintenance is carried out, all buildings will not be carried out at the same time, and some activities of their chamber of commerce should not be stopped.
Third point, we went in and took a look. Why didn’t we see any staff in such a big guild hall? Could it be that it was just for internal maintenance and they would let all the staff go? If that is the case, then the Shanxi guild hall is very
It’s not normal! If this place is not normal now, what kind of thing will make this place abnormal? If you think about it further, it should be the Japanese.
.If the Shanxi Guild Hall has really lost ties with the Japanese, the most likely possibility is that it has become a stronghold against the Japanese. In order to keep it secret and for the safety of the anti-Japanese personnel, they have taken measures such as closing the door and leaving. The biggest
Try to prevent the Japanese from drawing attention to this place. Another possibility is that there really is a secret passage leading to the Jinling Hotel. Because the Jinling Hotel has
It has become an important stronghold for the Japs. For the safety of the hotel, the Japs will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the hotel's original facilities. If the Japs find out that there is a secret passage between the hotel and the Shanxi Guild Hall, the Japs will occupy the Shanxi Guild Hall and also
People who know the secret passage will be killed and silenced. That is to say, they have already thought of this, so they closed the door and left, leaving the guild hall in what it is now."
