The Qingwan Hotel was built 20 years ago and is a first-class hotel in China. After work, Liu Changchuan did not put on makeup or even disguise his identity. On the third floor of the Qingwan Hotel, Sato Eita opened a room opposite the door. . Then he hung up the phone at home and told Liu Lan that he would not go back to stay tonight.
He already had an idea on how to keep an eye on Sato Eita. Sato Eita must be waiting for someone at the Qingwan Hotel. All he had to do was keep an eye on the door, and he would be able to see whoever came.
The hotel room was very luxuriously decorated, but Liu Changchuan was not in the mood to enjoy it. He sat on a chair at the door and stared at Sato Eita's room opposite without blinking.
There was a creaking sound, and he saw Sato Eita coming out of the room at the opposite door, and he quickly walked out. Liu Changchuan thought Sato Eita was going to meet someone, but he didn't expect that he just bought a pack of cigarettes and ordered a plate of egg fried rice. That’s all.
Liu Changchuan also bought a pack of cigarettes and ordered a bowl of wontons to eat. As a black-hearted capitalist, the price of wontons was more than five times higher than outside, and he suffered a huge loss.
Liu Changchuan followed Sato Eita back to the room and continued to guard the door. At about 6:30 pm, a woman with a slim figure and a cheongsam came to Sato Eita's door.
Scanning…………
[Lu Bichun is 28 years old and unemployed]
Liu Changchuan curled his lips. Yoshimoto Shogo ordered him to investigate Sato Eita. It was meaningless. This was just a man who kept a lover outside. The woman wanted money and the man wanted sex. They were a perfect match.
At about 6 a.m. on the second day, Lu Bichun opened the door and left the Qingwan Hotel, followed by Eita Sato. Liu Changchuan went to the front desk to inquire, and found that Eita Sato had not checked out, indicating that he would be back in the evening.
Liu Changchuan left the hotel and stared at Lu Bichun until he reached Shuiming Alley. This was not a place where rich people lived. Although it was better than the low-rise houses in Zhabei, it was still a place where low-income working-class people lived in the Chinese community.
"Boss, come and pack cigarettes." Liu Changchuan paid for a pack of cigarettes at a nearby cigarette stall.
"Boss, you still have such beautiful women here?" Liu Changchuan gestured to Lu Bichun who was walking away.
"What are you talking about? Although we are not rich here, there is nothing unusual about having a beautiful woman." The boss glared at Liu Changchuan dissatisfied.
"Hehe, I just look good and feel itchy in my heart. I don't know if this woman is married or has a husband." Liu Changchuan looked carefree.
When Liu Changchuan saw that the cigarette stall owner didn't want to talk to him, he didn't care. He handed over the 5 yuan and said, "Boss, tell me."
"Hehe, this little brother is really discerning." The cigarette stall owner immediately changed his face.
After taking the money and seeing no one around, he whispered: "That woman's name is Lu Bichun. She is an old family here. She got married before she was 20 years old. But she was unlucky. Her husband and son were killed by a Japanese plane in Zhabei. Alas, She is also a poor woman."
Liu Changchuan felt a little uncomfortable. His husband and son were killed by the Japanese, but you were lucky enough to follow a Japanese or a Japanese soldier. What did you think? It's really incomprehensible.
Can't we live on and have no money to spend?
After Liu Changchuan left Shuiming Alley, he did not go back to the special high school directly. He didn't know how to report to Yoshimoto Masago. The main reason was that he couldn't understand Lu Bichun.
Eita Sato is 37 years old, 1.6 meters tall and looks like a bucket. No normal woman would fall in love with him, let alone a beautiful young woman like Lu Bichun.
Even if Lu Bichun is short of money, he doesn't necessarily have to look for Sato Eita. Putting aside her husband and son, your looks are there. It's not easy to make money from a man, so why bother holding on to Sato Eita.
Liu Changchuan was puzzled, and at the same time he despised his own "scanning eye". When probing Lu Bichun's background, it showed that he was unemployed. This thing is deceiving. Unemployed can represent too many professions. For example, an arms dealer who resells weapons can be called an arms dealer. Businessmen, thieves, robbers, and even peripheral members of the military and central government, all of them are unemployed and cheating.
…
Dong Dong Dong Dong...Liu Changchuan knocked several times on the back door of Lao Zhang's grocery store.
"You're here. Yesterday morning I received the telegram from the headquarters and hung up the emergency meeting sign at the door. I haven't seen you coming yet." Lao Zhang let Liu Changchuan into the room and said urgently.
"What's the matter? I have a mission?" Liu Changchuan looked slightly nervous.
"There is no mission. The headquarters issued an order and sent us a direct superior. I don't know who it is. You are the team leader. As agreed, you should meet last night. If you didn't show up, we must meet at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The joint." After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he handed him a piece of paper with the joint address and code word written on it.
Liu Changchuan took the note and looked at it before turning and leaving. He did not go home, but had a bite of food in a small restaurant, checked his watch, and called a rickshaw to go to Xiaoxi Street.
Liu Changchuan walked into Pingshan Park, tightened his windbreaker, and glanced at a plainly dressed, very ordinary-looking middle-aged man sitting on a chair under the old locust tree. He glanced at the members of the military command with his "scanning eye". Han Lin.
"Sir, please lend me a fire to light a cigarette." Liu Changchuan said when he saw that no one was approaching in the park.
"Sorry, I don't smoke. Young man, I would like to advise you that smoking is harmful to your health." The middle-aged man replied calmly.
"I can't help it. I can't stop it even if I want to."
"That's because you can't make up your mind and you don't have the willpower."
When Liu Changchuan saw that the code had been exchanged, he asked in a low voice: "What are your orders, sir?"
"Are you "Barbed Wire"?"
"Yes, sir." Liu Changchuan nodded.
"Who gave you your code name?" The middle-aged man looked at Liu Changchuan coldly.
Hey, you still don’t believe me after finishing the code. Liu Changchuan helplessly replied with two words: "Yu Huai."
"I am your superior "Squirrel". From today on, you only need to accept my orders. The tasks I give you must be executed regardless of whether they are right or wrong. Are there any questions?"
"No." Liu Changchuan curled his lips inwardly. What a bad code name, it's not as good as his own.
Squirrel took out a piece of paper from his arms and put it on the chair and was about to get up and leave. Liu Changchuan suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly: "Can I help you?"
"Say." Squirrel narrowed his eyes and felt dissatisfied.
"Yoshimoto Shogo asked me to investigate a Japanese officer."
Liu Changchuan told the story about Sato Eita and Lu Bichun. He wanted Squirrel to go back and ask if Lu Bichun was a peripheral member of the military system.
Gray Rat took a deep look at Liu Changchuan, pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Have you told Masago Yoshimoto about this?"
"I will also monitor Sato Eita one night and will report truthfully to Yoshimoto Shogo at noon tomorrow."
"How do you know Lu Bichun's name?" Gray Rat continued to ask.
"I went to the place where she lives. That's what the owner of the Daokou cigarette stall said." Liu Changchuan answered truthfully.
"Remember, you have never been to Shuiming Lane, and you don't know about a woman named Lu Bichun. You will get a name at noon tomorrow. Her name is Feng Xiaoman. She has only been in Shanghai for two months and has been living in the Qiannan Hotel. .”
Liu Changchuan was startled, his brain was in a trance, and he suddenly stared at the squirrel twice, and said very seriously: "That cigarette stall owner makes a living by selling cigarettes, and his life is very difficult."
"Our military commander never "kills innocent people indiscriminately."" The gray mouse stood up and walked out of the park.
