Chapter 670 Assassination of Rihachiro Banxi (Part 2)
Chen Gongpeng and Qi Nanpu sat in the car, with Mr. Dai's driver Lao Zhang open, and drove in several circles on the only roads in "Dongjiaomin Lane". Chen Gongpeng and the others not only became familiar with the road conditions, but also had a good understanding of the road conditions.
Mental preparation.
Chen Gongpeng was worried that if there was any movement, such as gunshots or something, would the wooden fences at several entrances and exits suddenly close and block the way? Then he thought, why should this be a concern?
With a wooden fence in the form of a car like Chen Gongpeng and others, they could smash it into pieces as soon as they stepped on the accelerator. There was no way they could stop it.
This is a trial run! It is also a preliminary survey of terrain and features.
Chen Gongpeng and others returned to Beichang Street, and saw Mao Renfeng's car parked under a big tree from a distance. It turned out that Mao Renfeng was already waiting for Chen Gongpeng and others, and there must be something important.
Mao Renfeng told Chen Gongpeng and others that according to the news: "Banxi Rihachiro did live in the Liuguo Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane." He instructed Chen Gongpeng and others to tell Wang Sanming immediately, and hoped that Chen Gongpeng and others would do their best to complete the task.
At this moment, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon, so it was not appropriate to call Wang Sanming. Chen Gongpeng went to the Liuguo Hotel to find him and communicated in person, but he was afraid of attracting attention. Chen Gongpeng and others had originally agreed to meet at six o'clock in the afternoon, but fortunately
It's only a little over an hour, so it's better to wait for him.
Chen Gongpeng and Qi Nanpu took advantage of this time to make some plans. As for the deadline, there are still six days. Now that they have determined the location of Rihachiro Banxi, they finally have a grasp of the general direction. It seems that time is not enough.
Urgent; the first thing to do is to detect the room where Banishi Rihachiro lives, and the sooner the better, so as to avoid long nights and dreams; before taking action, you must not alert the snake; once the traces of Banishi Rihachiro are discovered, other related issues
, can be solved step by step. Chen Gongpeng and others talked for a long time. There is only one sentence in the end, that is to find the "target" as early as possible.
At 5:50, Bai Shiwei called and said that he and Wang Sanming were waiting for Chen Gongpeng to have dinner at Wufangzhai in Dong'an Market. Chen Gongpeng agreed to come with Qi Nanpu.
Wang Sanming and Bai Shiwei looked solemn, and they didn't even have the energy to speak. There was no need to ask, and there was no progress.
Chen Gongpeng repeated word for word what Mr. Mao Renfeng had just announced when he came to Beichang Street.
Later, Chen Gongpeng expressed Chen Gongpeng's personal opinion in a more serious tone: "I think the news conveyed by Mr. Mao must be reliable. The old boy we want must be at the Six Nations Hotel."
Qi Nanpu then slowly and calmly said the things that Chen Gongpeng and the others had discussed just now. Wang Sanming and Bai Shiwei would have thought of it without waiting for them to say it.
It was just a quick meal. I had pretty much said what I needed to say. Looking at the faces of Wang Sanming and Bai Shiwei, they had already turned cheerful.
Chen Gongpeng and others redistributed their respective tasks, focusing on Wang Sanming's reconnaissance activities after they returned to the hotel.
They quickly agreed to use No. 18 Beichang Street as the contact center. Chen Gongpeng would stay full time and look forward to good news.
Qi Nanpu decided to cancel all reconnaissance arrangements outside the Liuguo Hotel. Qi Nanpu was responsible for controlling the spare car and keeping in close contact with Chen Gongpeng at all times.
After Chen Gongpeng and others broke up, Chen Gongpeng made a phone call and briefly reported Mao Renfeng.
On the first day of the deadline, I struggled for twenty-four hours with no results. On the second day, I knew that Rihachiro Banishi must be staying at the Rokukuni Hotel, but there was still no trace of him.
Something that seems easy can only be experienced when you do it. Otherwise, Chen Gongpeng and the others are too stupid.
Chen Gongpeng was worried alone. If the deadline expired and he couldn't even touch his person, it would be embarrassing.
Mao Renfeng was quite calm. He didn't even urge him, and only told Chen Gongpeng and others what to do once. As for whether his state of mind was like this, it was difficult to guess.
Dai Li sent a telegram back to Mao Renfeng, but did not directly send a telegram to Chen Gongpeng and others. This was of course to maintain the integrity of the command system.
At noon on the third day, when Chen Gongpeng and Wang Sanming met, they still looked at each other, and it was still difficult to get into a good mood.
Wang Sanming enlightened Chen Gongpeng and others and said: "I have to be anxious about this kind of thing, but I can't bring it out. If I still can't get any clues, I also want to take the risk of alerting the snake and go to the counter to check again. However,
, maybe it’s not good if it’s self-defeating!”
Speaking of this, Wang Sanming suddenly remembered that when he went upstairs yesterday, he once saw the back of a man. This man looked very much like Takao Sekiguchi, who was the subordinate of Rihachiro Banishi mentioned in the previous information, but he went up in the blink of an eye.
, I didn’t see it clearly, so I’m not sure whether it’s him or not.
Chen Gongpeng thought in his mind that since Wang Sanming's room was on the second floor, the so-called person he saw "going up" must be either the third floor or the fourth floor. If he was really the subordinate of Rihachiro Banishi, then Rihachiro Banishi didn't live on the third floor.
It's set to be on the fourth floor.
Isn't this a valuable discovery?
Bai Shiwei also told Chen Gongpeng that he was accompanying Wang Sanming in and out as Wang Sanming's "attendant", that is, as a "follower". Situations like this were common in large hotels and were commonplace. The waiters simply did not
He didn't take it seriously. When Wang Sanming was alone in the room making up his mind, he took the opportunity to chat with the waiter, but he didn't come up with any reason.
Bai Shiwei added: "Brother Sanming told Chen Gongpeng to pay special attention to the person who looked like Takao Sekiguchi. I also kept staring at the stairs, looking up and down, but I didn't see anyone like the person described by brother Sanming."
Chen Gongpeng believes that these are all gains. Although the target has not yet been found, it cannot be regarded as no progress.
Wang Sanming was going home, planning to change his clothes and shave. He asked Bai Shiwei to find a place to rest, and when he came back, they would go to the Liuguo Hotel together. He also told Chen Gongpeng and others to study more carefully.
.
Wang Sanming went home, and Bai Shiwei wanted to take a nap to recuperate his energy, but he couldn't sleep, he couldn't even close his eyes, so he simply sat up and chatted, so Chen Gongpeng and others talked about "Liuguo Hotel" again.
"Liuguo Hotel" is well-known in Beijing, but its scale is not big. It is just a four-story old-style building. In terms of equipment, it is far inferior to "Beijing Hotel", and in terms of affordability, it is not as good as "Central Hotel"
Or "Chang'an Chun Hotel", because it is the only one in "Dongjiaomin Lane", it is rare, especially to those Chinese people who have ulterior motives.
"Liuguo Hotel" faces east and west, with the main door facing the street. There are more than ten stone steps to go in and out. What impresses people most is the revolving door.
As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by a spacious hall with a scarlet wool carpet on the floor. This set off suddenly gives people a sense of nobility. This is an imported foreign gimmick.
There is a long big counter with a cashier in charge of the cars...
"Liuguo Hotel" does not have an elevator, perhaps because it only has four floors. However, the stairs are wide and can accommodate four people walking up and down side by side. The width of the passage on the second floor is similar to that of the stairs, and they are all covered with carpets. If you don't jump around,
I can't hear the sound of walking.
The shape of the second floor is like a Wu character, that is, there are only rooms on three sides. The side close to the stairwell is just a passage. On the passage, there is a small counter, which is the central point where the waiter is on duty and listens to the guests' calls.
Wang Sanming's room is in the corner of the second floor, fifty or sixty steps away from the stairs, and at the end of the corridor on the right. Going further in, there are a row of rooms, and turning around is the corridor on the left.
So it is said to be in the shape of Wu.
This room is not big, and the bed is not too small. There are several layers of mattresses and sheets on the bed, from thin to thick. Bai Shiwei said to Chen Gongpeng: "It's inconvenient to carry that pistol with you when you go in and out. Sometimes you just stuff it in
Under the pillow, brother Sanming also knows that if there is any temporary opportunity, both of us can use it."
Bai Shiwei was a thoughtful person. He heard the waiter say: "There is also a fire escape at the back. It has not been used for many years and is now filled with old things."
In this case, the fire escape that may have been used as a way out has expired and does not need to be considered.
The layout of the third floor is similar to that of the second floor. The fourth floor is different. It is said that the rooms on the fourth floor that can be rented by guests are only half of those on the second and third floors. The other half are for long-term guests.
There are differences in equipment, rooms, rents, etc. Shiwei wanted to go up and take a look several times, but he could never find an excuse that could be justified without arousing suspicion.
Speaking of which, Wang Sanming came back. He and Bai Shiwei went to the Liuguo Hotel again to find some clues.
Time passed quickly, and seeing the deadline getting closer and closer, besides being anxious, I felt like I was missing something. Unexpectedly, on the fourth day, everything turned around and dawn suddenly appeared!
It turned out that at noon, Wang Sanming and Bai Shiwei were going downstairs to eat. Just when they opened the door, an acquaintance came out of the door with a small blue cloth bag under his arm. It turned out to be Ying, the shopkeeper of the suit shop.
I didn't expect to meet him here.
Wang Sanming asked the shopkeeper Ying: "Why are you here?"
Shopkeeper Ying casually moved his hand up and down on the right side of his chin and said, "He made two sets of clothes and asked me to come try them on today. I guess he's up at this time, right?"
Wang Sanming fully understood Shopkeeper Ying's actions and words, so he motioned to Bai Shiwei to push the door open and walk out without asking any more questions. At the same time, he briefly greeted Shopkeeper Ying.
They stopped eating and hurried to Beichang Street to tell Chen Gongpeng what had just happened.
Wang Sanming explained:
"Judging from the description given by Shopkeeper Ying, it's Rihachiro Banishi. He was in the restaurant just now, so I can't ask more questions. Now let's go have something to eat. After eating, Shopkeeper Ying should go back. Let's go find him again and ask him carefully.
After all, let’s see if it’s Rihachiro Banishi we’re looking for!” (To be continued)
