Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang were delayed for a day in getting their documents here, but on the next day, they still entered Hong Kong by boat.
They were on a small passenger and cargo ship of 500 tons. A large chimney stood in the middle. As soon as the boat started, thick smoke billowed out.
This place is really close to Hong Kong Island. Otherwise, later generations will say that there are some people with better water skills who can swim across it. Just because the distance is really not that far.
When we got off the boat, the dock and ferry were full of black policemen and Japanese soldiers. Especially at the checkpoints for boarding and disembarking. The little devil and these policemen checked documents, ferry tickets, etc. very strictly. Basically, you need to look at the ferry ticket first, and then take a look at your ID after you have no problem. Then I take another look at your face and feel that it’s right, then let me go.
Although the little devils have now taken control of Hong Kong, it is very difficult to get in and out. But people are always moving, so there are quite a lot of people coming in and out of the Hong Kong Pier every day. It is also for this reason that unless they meet a suspicious person, these gangsters and the police will check and see if the ID is correct and let them go.
The most stringent one is actually the second checkpoint. Of course, this second checkpoint refers to the second checkpoint coming out of the ferry. If you want to leave Hong Kong Island and enter the pier ferry, this is the first checkpoint.
Fan Keqin hugged Hua Zhang's waist and followed the flow of people to the second checkpoint. This checkpoint is relatively slow. They also check documents, ferry tickets, etc. But the fundamental reason for the slowness is that this checkpoint searches carry-on luggage. The police officers who searched me also became female police officers.
As the flow of people moved, it wasn't long before it was Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang's turn. The two people first handed each other their documents and ferry tickets. Then he took the initiative to open the suitcase he was carrying and put it on the table next to him. And he made a big font and asked the other party to start searching him.
Their cooperation prevented the little devil and the police on this card from raising their vigilance too high. However, I still looked at the documents more carefully and flipped through the suitcase.
They also have skills in this kind of body search, mainly to check whether there are any contraband, such as guns and ammunition. After all, there are too many people to check every day, and it is impossible for you to take out everything on your body and look at them one by one. As long as there is nothing suspicious about it, it will be fine.
But Fan Keqin was obviously in trouble. Although he didn't hide a pistol, he had a cannon. Therefore, it took the policewoman twice as long as usual to check Fan Keqin thoroughly. There is no need to describe the details.
After the fall of Hong Kong Island, the Japs actually took control of Hong Kong Island. These police officers had to listen to the Japs. That’s not to say that all police officers are traitors. Of course, there are also traitors among them.
After passing the second checkpoint, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang finally left the dock. After leaving the pier, I got into a taxi waiting here and soon arrived at Yau Tsim Mong District.
After entering Yau Tsim Mong, within a few minutes, the car stopped in front of a large hotel called Warsaw in Yau Ma Tei. After paying the fare, Fan Keqin entered the hotel.
It is said that this hotel is relatively high-end in the local area, and the people who live here are relatively strong-willed. Hong Kong is in a very chaotic time now, with little devils, spies from various countries, and various forces fighting against each other.
It is said that Hong Kong was in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. These decades were very chaotic. In fact, it's really messy. However, the chaos in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s was caused by the fact that there were too many gangs on Hong Kong Island, who were fighting each other, and the British and Chinese officials were helping each other. So naturally it will be very messy.
But after all, it was no longer a war era. No matter how chaotic it is, it is at most the level of a large-scale gang fight. But this era is different. This is a war era, where gangs are fighting, and various forces are fighting openly and secretly. Spies from various countries are also involved. This level of professionalism is not comparable to that of gangsters in later years.
It is precisely because it is so chaotic that there are four bodyguards in front of the main entrance of this Warsaw hotel. They all wear double-breasted coats, with a short stick pinned to the left waist. Judging from their body shapes, they are all strong men and should be relatively capable of fighting.
Does that mean you don’t have a gun? Whether there is or not, I don’t know. Now that the Japs have actually taken control of Hong Kong Island, firearms are absolutely contraband. So on the surface, you definitely can't have a gun. Of course, future generations will not allow civilians to have guns. Haven’t you seen the free country on the other side of the ocean? What freedom! Everyone can have a gun, and everyone has the freedom to shoot others with a gun. There are so many scenery, my nose is old!
Just as Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang were about to enter the hotel, they saw the chaotic side of Hong Kong Island in this era. As they were walking forward, they heard shouting and yelling from a place not too close to the right, such as "I did it... I'm a wily one... Stop!!".
Turn your head and look to the right. Then he saw the two boys in front running forward wildly, and a group of about ten people behind them, all holding sticks, knives and the like in their hands.
However, the two guys running wildly in front of them were relatively thin and had some blood stains on their bodies. He might have been injured a little, but it wasn't serious. The legs also jumped very fast. The people behind them gradually distanced themselves from them. In addition to the two boys, they were running towards a guard station in front. Therefore, the dozen or so people behind them stopped chasing after a while. They turned around and entered the alley next to them and disappeared.
Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang looked at each other and said nothing. Then we entered the Warsaw Hotel. Got a suite. Then he went up to the third floor and found his room.
According to the old rules, although they chose their residence at random and made sure there were no tails behind them, they were still strict. Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang still checked the room. After finding no problems, I felt relieved.
The time now is already past four in the afternoon. There was still some time, so the two of them discussed it for a while and decided that it was better to go to Hongxing Company first and find Director Kang.
The two people immediately went downstairs, got on a rickshaw, and took about ten minutes to arrive at the location of Hongxing Company mentioned in the telegram. In fact, Fan Keqin certainly knew about the so-called Hongxing Company. He is, after all, the director of the Hong Kong Island Operations Office. He is the top official of the Security Bureau on Hong Kong Island. Therefore, although the situation on Hong Kong Island is confidential, for him, it is information that he needs to be familiar with.
This Hongxing Company is the Hong Kong Island Operations Office of the Security Bureau...
