Takeshi Sakai was very skilled. After turning into the alley, he ran as fast as he could and quickly got rid of his pursuit.
We went all the way south and arrived outside the courtyard of "Tang's Trading Company" on Jianye Road. After waiting for a while and finding nothing unusual, we jumped from the wall into the courtyard.
"Tang's Trading Company" has a street-facing facade, and behind it is a courtyard. There are two rows of bungalows in the courtyard. The bungalows in the north row are housing, the one in the west belongs to Tangshan Jiayan, and the two in the east are Datongpu, where four employees live.
, while Takeshi Sakai lives in a storehouse, and the bungalows in the south row serve as warehouses.
Takeshi Sakai entered the yard and first went to the east window to listen. There were snores everywhere, and it was obvious that the four hired workers had fallen asleep.
Then he walked to the door of the West House and knocked lightly. The door immediately opened and Takeshi Sakai stepped in.
"Crack!"
Tangshan Yoshihiko turned on the light and asked urgently: "How?"
"Boss, the situation is not good."
"Oh, what's going on?"
"At almost ten o'clock, I rushed to the intersection of Dajixiang Street and found a car parked in the shadow. Because I was not sure whether there was anyone inside, I didn't dare to get close, so I squatted quietly in the distance to observe, but I never found it.
There was someone in the car. Just after ten o'clock, an ambulance drove from the direction of the Army Hospital and turned towards the Central Hotel. Ten minutes later, it drove out from the direction of the Central Hotel and headed towards the Army Hospital. At the same time, there were several vehicles following it.
car. I judged that this was the American who was poisoned, so I hurried back. As soon as I walked out, I heard the car door ringing. When I looked back, I saw two people getting out of the car and rushing towards me. I
I quickened my pace and was about to get rid of them, but they couldn't keep up with me, so they shouted at me to stop, and I ran, and they opened fire. Then I turned into an alley and got rid of them smoothly." Takeshi Sakai detailed.
He reported what happened.
"In other words, they have been waiting there for a long time?" Yushan Yoshihiko asked in surprise.
"Yes. But I'm not sure whether they were waiting for me specifically or were on guard at that intersection. There were military police standing guard there during the day." Sakai Takeda.
"The situation is complicated. There is an ambulance coming and going at ten o'clock, which means that the red-crowned crane has succeeded, and someone has been ambushed at the intersection of Dajixiang Street. Whether it is a secret sentry responsible for guarding or someone waiting for you, you have been exposed.
The only thing I'm not sure about now is that you were exposed a long time ago, or were you exposed now after hitting the muzzle of a gun? If it's the latter, it's easy to deal with, even if you are found, it's easy to prevaricate; but if it's the former, it means that the red-crowned crane
Something has happened." Yushan Yoshihiko analyzed.
"Boss, the former is unlikely. Because there are ambulances coming and going, it means that the American has been poisoned. If the red-crowned crane has been exposed, the American cannot be poisoned." Takeshi Sakai retorted.
"What if everything you see is fake?"
"Then..., that's a trap!"
"Yes. So, we have to prepare for the worst. In this way, you immediately take the radio and code book and hide in the secret room. If someone comes to check, I will tell you that you went home two days ago. As long as you can't find it,
You and I are safe."
"Boss, can't I run away now?"
"I guess I can't escape. The whole city will be under martial law soon. If you go out on the street at this time, you will definitely be caught. It's better to stand still. Even if the red-crowned crane has been exposed, as long as we can't catch you, there will be no problem.
"
"Okay, I'll hide right away."
"Slow! In critical moments, the code book must be destroyed."
"yes!"
After Takeshi Sakai finished speaking, he exited the room.
Yushan Yoshihiko turned off the light and walked back and forth in the room.
He was wondering whether to warn the turtle dove.
After thinking again and again, he finally decided not to move for the time being.
There are three reasons:
First, the current situation is unclear, and we cannot issue a hasty warning that will affect Ikaruga’s judgment;
Second, he knew that Red-crowned Crane had only contacted Takeshi Sakai and had met him, but he had no idea of his apparent identity. In other words, the clues had been cut off as soon as Takeshi Sakai was here. As long as Takeshi Sakai could not be caught, he would be safe.
.
The third reason is because of the red-crowned crane.
He understands the importance of the red-crowned crane very well, and also knows how powerful his identity is on the surface. He does not believe or is unwilling to believe that the red-crowned crane has been exposed. At most, it is because Polot was poisoned and is now being quarantined for review. Furthermore, in the unknown situation,
He ran away under the circumstances and left the red-crowned crane alone. Even if he escaped back to Shanghai, Director Ying Zuo would not let him go.
Based on the above three considerations, Tangshan Yoshihiko made the decision to further observe.
…
As soon as six o'clock arrived, Lin Chuang and Wu Liangce set off with their people respectively, while Chen Lu took another companion named Du Xiangyang to the department store.
When we arrived at the department store, the newsstand was already open for business. The owner was a middle-aged man who was busy placing various newspapers on the stall. To the right of the newsstand was a kiosk with a telephone.
"Are you the stall owner?" Chen Lu stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, I am." Seeing someone asking, the stall owner stopped what he was doing and looked at Chen Lu.
"We are from the police station and have a question for you." Chen Lu said.
"Oh, sir, if you have any questions, just ask me, and I will answer you truthfully." When the stall owner heard that he was from the police station, he quickly smiled.
"Take a look, do you know this person?" Chen Lu handed over Min Tuo's photo.
This photo he asked Wu Liangce to get through the Secret Service last night. It is a two-inch photo, very small, but very clear.
"The face looks familiar, but I can't remember it for a moment." The stall owner looked at the photo, touched the back of his head with his hand, and tried his best to remember.
"He called you at noon the day before yesterday, between 11 and 11:30," Chen Lu reminded.
"Oh..., yes, yes, it's this person. I remembered it. He was well-dressed and looked like a rich man, so I had an impression. By the way, he gave me a dollar at that time. I asked for it, and he said
No need, he’s very generous and a good person!” The stall owner suddenly remembered after being reminded by Chen Lu.
"Let me ask you a question, can you remember where he made the call?" Chen Lu asked.
"Let me think about it. When people call me, I usually ask where to call. It's not that I like to ask, but I'm afraid that the call is supposed to be long-distance, but it says it's local. Then I won't pay for it?" He said.
Where did you say it was taken from?... Oh, I remembered it." The stall owner explained a lot, then slapped his forehead and said excitedly.
"Where to fight?" Chen Lu's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
If the stall owner could recall this phone call, it would save him a lot of trouble and make him feel excited.
"He said it was a local dialect, and it seemed that he was calling a company called Tang Company. Yes, it was Tang Company. Why can I remember it so clearly? Because I was a little curious at the time, why did it still have a name? Tang Company, if
If there's a cake company, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a meal together?"
The stall owner talks a lot and is also very funny.
