The hanging lock looks like it is locked when viewed from below, and it doesn't even matter whether anyone is looking at it. So Li He reached out and took off the lock, then directly opened the manhole cover, quickly climbed up, turned over and quickly closed the cover again.
Bending over, Li He walked toward the "balcony" while taking off the bag hanging around his neck. I quickly got in, then took out the telescope and looked out from between the stone pillar-style balcony railings. It was great! Although it is from the side, the field of view is definitely sufficient.
Seeing this, Li He was no longer anxious, because when he looked around just now, the main entrance of the Asahi Hotel was still as usual. He put down the telescope and stood aside. He took out another pair of pliers from his pocket, and first peel off a section of the insulation on the end that is connected to the phone, and stretched out the two wires. Then he used pliers to peel off the skin of the two wires respectively, exposing the inside. metal wire. Following him, he carefully picked out a telephone wire from the electric well, carefully picked up a bit of skin with pliers, and tore a section of it with force. Then peel off the skins of the two wires inside.
Finally, he put down the pliers, connected the telephone wire with the wire in the electric well, and twisted it several times with his hands to make full contact. After Li He finished all this, he reached for the phone and finally let out a sigh of relief when he heard the wind sound inside. But this was not enough. He thought for a moment and dialed a number. After a while, he was answered and the other person said: "Hello, White Bird Western Restaurant."
"Huh?" Li He said differently: "Isn't it Li Chunsheng's family?"
The person on the other side said: "Sorry sir, you dialed the wrong number."
"Ah." Li He seemed stunned for a moment and said, "I'm sorry. Goodbye." Then he hung up the phone. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This means that you have already done it.
Putting the pliers away, Li He placed the bag on the ground, sat down on it, picked up the binoculars, and began to stare at the Asahi Hotel as planned.
About an hour later, at about 9:30 in the morning, Li He suddenly saw several cars turning around from the street intersection, and after a while they stopped at the entrance of the Asahi Hotel, huffing and puffing. About ten people got out of the car. The clothes are still relatively high-end, but they are all in plain clothes. Seven or eight of them walked into the hotel, while the remaining half were hanging around the door of the hotel.
About five minutes later, many people came out of the hotel one after another. They were dressed in different clothes. Some were calm and some looked angry. And looking at the attire, there was also a hotel manager who came out with several waiters. He kept talking and looked a little apologetic while having sex with a few people in very high-end clothes. explain.
After about a few minutes, after all these people left, the manager and the waiter sent the guests away, then turned around and followed a plainclothes man who had got off the car before, talking to each other and entering the room.
Li He estimated that this might be an agent of the puppet government or the vanguard of Japanese agents who came to the hotel to clear out the guests first. Only then did the manager lead the waiters to send the diners out, and even apologized and explained. And even if it's not entirely correct, it shouldn't be too far off.
Sure enough, after about half an hour, two trucks and several cars appeared in Li He's telescope, all parked in front of the hotel. After everyone got down, Li He guessed at a glance that at least There were more than seventy or eighty people. Twenty of them were wearing full military uniforms. After getting out of the car, they unloaded two wooden roadblocks from the car and quickly moved them to both ends of the hotel near the street intersection.
The remaining plainclothes personnel were scattered around the hotel under the command of a man wearing a Japanese military uniform and two woolen coats. Although Li He couldn't see the back and sides of the Asahi Hotel from this angle, it could still be seen that these people went in that direction and disappeared there. Therefore, he judged in his mind that the entire Asahi Hotel was definitely surrounded by security forces. At least the front entrance of the hotel that he could see was full of plainclothes people on the street.
Not only was Li He not disappointed when he saw this, he was actually a little happy, because the stronger the guards, the higher the standard of the banquet. Therefore, the status of those who attend will be higher, but I don’t know if Tokimune Tokimune can come.
After a while, four more cars came, and a dozen police officers in black police uniforms got out of the cars. One of them ran up to the man in Japanese military uniform and started fighting with the two men in woolen coats. He stood at attention and said something. Then he nodded repeatedly, turned around, ran back, and said a few more words to the dozen or so policemen, who immediately dispersed.
However, Li He's perspective is limited after all, and his view is not comprehensive. He just saw the policemen divided into two teams, heading towards the intersections on the left and right of the hotel, and followed Li He out of sight. However, he estimated that these police officers may only be responsible for peripheral security work.
The street must have been blocked off, but as he and others speculated yesterday, Li He didn't know and couldn't see if anyone went to check the building opposite or in a nearby building.
Therefore, Li He doesn't think about these things. As for Tian An, Hu Feihu and the others, they should be fine. There can't be a big banquet at the Asahi Hotel and the business on the streets intersecting on both sides should be closed. To put it bluntly, there are many businesses of different nationalities here, including Chinese, Japanese, German, French, and American. Even if you, little Japanese, are crazy, you won't be able to block all other people's businesses. Therefore, Li He remained optimistic about the situation of Tian An and others.
It took about more than an hour, and the time came to about 11:40. Li He saw a car turning in from the left side of Asahi Hotel. After the car stopped, the Japanese officer and two woolen coats came to greet it.
I saw four people getting out of the car. Among them was a guy wearing a gray coat and a top hat, who was surrounded by them. After shaking hands with the Japanese officer and the two woolen coats, and saying a few words, the Japanese officer waved his hand in the direction of the hotel, and everyone walked in together.
It is estimated that this is a distinguished guest, or the leader of the group, who came here first to see the security work of the Asahi Hotel. Anyway, there are only two possibilities.
Li He ignored him and had already adjusted the magnification of the telescope to the maximum, fearing that he would not be recognized when Zheng Zhu showed up.
