The Wavre Hotel, just in terms of visual effects, is no worse than some high-end hotels in later generations. Let alone in this day and age.
Seeing this, Fan Keqin became even more sure that the possibility of the celebration banquet after the bullshit conference was definitely very high.
The two of them also went in for a meal. During the meal, Fan Keqin excused himself to use the toilet. We also took a stroll inside the hotel. Then, he put his arm around Hua Zhang's shoulders and went upstairs to the hotel to check it out in the name of booking a room.
Finally, I discovered the Wavre Hotel, which has two places where banquets can be held. The first one is the lobby on the first floor. This lobby is divided into two parts, the left and right, but it is actually one.
Because there is a hall in the middle for receiving guests, and there are restaurants on the left and right sides, and they are connected. At first glance it looks very open.
Another place where banquets can be held is the banquet hall on the top floor. This hall is actually relatively smaller because it is only half a floor. On the other half floor, after booking a room, Fan Keqin sneaked here and checked it out. It was the office space of the hotel administrative staff.
What should I say about the banquet hall on the top floor? Although it is only half a floor, the area is not small. The main reason is that the Wavre Hotel covers a very large area. If it is cut down in half, it will still not be too small. It can be nearly a thousand square meters.
In addition, the banquet hall on the top floor is actually nearly half smaller than the one on the first floor. Although the entire hall is smaller, it is more suitable for holding banquets, cocktail parties and the like.
Because there is a dedicated bar counter in the lobby on the top floor. There is also a dance floor in the middle, and a stage behind the dance floor, which can host a live band during performances.
Therefore, after seeing the situation inside the Wavre Hotel, Fan Keqin is now a little unsure about which hall the banquet between the Manchukuo and the Japs should have been held.
However, he thought about it in detail and discussed it with Hua Zhang. Both men agreed. The hall on the first floor may be a more suitable place to hold a celebration banquet.
First of all, why celebrate? It must be some bullshit co-prosperity conference held by Victory to celebrate.
So what is this conference called? What is the point? The word "co-prosperity"! The little Japanese and the puppet Manchukuo worked together to achieve their hypocritical goals with the word "co-prosperity".
You see, how united we are, how developed our business is, and what a tacit understanding our cooperation has. So you can just live a peaceful and stable life under our rule. Don't think about whether it's subjugation, country, or slavery. We have proven that we are not invading. But we really want to achieve common prosperity! !
Although this is just the hypocrisy of the Japs and the Puppet Manchukuo, the hypocrisy must still be superficial under the title of common prosperity. Therefore, the celebration reception after the conference is really likely to invite representatives from all walks of life under the rule of the Puppet Manchukuo. For example, people from various chambers of commerce came to participate.
Therefore, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang considered this reason, which means that the number of people will not be too small by then. If there are so many people, although the banquet hall on the top floor is not small, it probably won't be enough. Therefore, the entire hall on the first floor must be much more likely to be a venue for banquets than the banquet hall on the top floor.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, both places are banquet venues, which is also possible.
It is actually not difficult to find out the exact location of the banquet. After Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang completed their investigation, they immediately contacted Zhao Debiao again. Let him send people to keep an eye on the Wavre Hotel. He also told Zhao Debiao that both the Japs and the Manchukuo must attach great importance to the banquet.
Then it is likely that you will start to carefully decorate the banquet venue some time in advance. It is impossible for the other party to prepare nothing. And as long as there are arrangements and actions to decorate the venue, the specific location of the banquet venue can be determined.
Then Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang went to the small auditorium again. After the two of them arrived here, they didn't go in to take a look like the Wavre Hotel. Although this small auditorium also has external business. But the two of them still could not get in without going in.
But when Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang came here, even though they just walked around outside, they still saw a lot of things. Because it is on some streets near the small auditorium building. At first glance, a lot of signs were drawn.
What do you mean, it’s a main road, and you’ve seen traffic lanes on the ground, right? That's it. It’s really not surprising that this thing appears on the road. However, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang saw that these drawn lines were all painted with the latest paint.
Moreover, especially the small auditorium, a building with four circles on the street. It is an independent building in itself. So there are streets all around. Now, almost all the traffic lanes on the surrounding streets have been newly painted. Moreover, some of the graphics drawn on them are not what should be found on normal roads at all.
For example, on the main street in front of the small auditorium, on the left side, several line segments were drawn horizontally. This thing is like a mark. It has nothing to do with traffic signs.
And there are not many such marks. Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang had discovered it on the streets surrounding the small auditorium, even radiating in all directions, and on several adjacent streets.
And the farther away from the small auditorium the streets are, the fewer these newly painted signs are on the ground. On the contrary, the streets closer to the chapel have relatively more signs.
Of course. This doesn’t mean that these are all scattered all over the floor, there aren’t that many. In fact, normally speaking, once you walk by, you will see it. Who can pay attention? Just look and you will see it. Are there really people that curious? Do you want to investigate everything you see? impossible.
In addition, as mentioned before, there are not many of these things. Even on the street closest to the front of the small auditorium, there are less than five bars painted on them at most. And it's not concentrated in one place, but the whole street. If this is dispersed, it will be even less noticeable.
However, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang were not outsiders after all. After contacting Zhao Debiao, the suspicion rate of the small auditorium itself increased greatly. So anything that happens around the chapel makes them sad. It's just that although they have discovered these newly painted bars on the street, they don't know what they are for.
After all the investigations, as the time approaches. Fan Keqin asked Zhao Debiao to prepare, and put all the equipment in a secret place for easy access at any time...
