Liu Changchuan returned to his room 302 on the third floor and thought about what to do next.
His original intention was to use Hashimoto Shi's idea to search Yaroslav's room in order to quickly find the film in a short time.
In his eyes, the situation in the hotel is very clear now. There are many guests and many service staff. However, only Yaroslav and Xu Ping are the most suspicious. Not only do they live on the third and fourth floors, but they are also affiliated with an intelligence agency. One of the two films must be in their hands, or even both films.
Liu Changchuan himself reviewed the process of Hideo Honda stealing the film and rebelling in the consulate, from the time when he led the investigation team into the hotel until the death of the cleaner and the super-high class action class Sonojiro.
Hideo Honda was bribed by the British. This matter is already certain, and Wilson's confession can prove it. However, the British still overestimated their abilities. Two of their three-person team were killed and one was captured, and the entire army was destroyed.
Xu Ping was next to Hideo Honda's table in the cafe. He must have seen the cleaner take away the film during the chaos of the shootout, and then asked Yaroslav to kill the cleaner and steal the film.
As for why Nishizono Jiro was killed, it's hard to say. It may be that he discovered some important clues and was silenced, or it may be that the person who took the film accidentally met him and acted cruelly.
Hey, the problem now is that Yaroslav's room has been searched from top to bottom by the intelligence team of the Special High School. There may be some mistakes, but the intelligence team has been searching for more than 5 hours in shifts so far. It should also be searched in secret places. What's more, when he went back to his room and passed Yaroslav's room, the intelligence team was moving furniture out, obviously to empty the entire room.
Liu Changchuan was upset. He stood up and walked to the window to open the curtains. He saw people from the intelligence team moving furniture outside the hotel door. A dozen military police soldiers were destroying the furniture, hoping to find the film. If they didn't find it, it would be easy. Everything was burned down in the hotel yard, and nothing was allowed to escape from the hotel.
Hey, Liu Changchuan hurriedly closed the curtains because he saw a pair of large thousand-layer cloth shoes on the window sill on the third floor of Fenglai Hotel across the street.
Damn, this is Lao Zhang’s contact code. What is he doing here? Could it be that something went wrong again at the headquarters?
It is very likely that the martial law at the Baisheng Hotel will definitely spread. The Shanghai Juntong Station is well-informed, and it may not be impossible to find out some useful information. If the British guy is causing trouble outside, the Juntong headquarters will most likely give him an order.
Damn it, should I pretend that I can’t see Lao Zhang’s contact signal? Liu Changchuan muttered. Then he quietly opened a corner of the curtain and took a peek at Feng Lai Hotel on the opposite side.
The current problem is very complicated. Lao Zhang can put a pair of shoes on the hotel window sill to contact him, but he will not be so bold as to make any unconventional actions. The gendarmerie under martial law outside is not for free. Colonel Shimizu is here. He was strictly ordered not to open the windows privately, but he actually broke the rules by opening the curtains.
what to do? Liu Changchuan paced back and forth.
Yesterday, he would have pretended not to see the contact signal given to him by Lao Zhang, but it is different now. Yang Jin, the military commander in the kitchen, might be his helper. God knows whether he will be used in the future, but you didn't say anything in secret. I won't pay any attention to you at all.
Could it be that he went up to the pole and said to Yang Jin: "Hey, I am a super agent of the military command. I am loved by everyone, and the "barbed wire fence" is awesome!"
Then you are simply looking for death.
It is definitely not possible to contact Lao Zhang using Morse code in the room. Not only is it far away, but it is also easy to be seen by interested people. The Baisheng Hotel lacks everything but counter-intelligence agents. Morse code is almost universally used, and it is slightly different. Your actions will be seen by others. If you dare to imitate the TV series and blatantly type Morse code, you might as well commit suicide directly.
Seeing this, we have to think of other ways.
At the front desk on the first floor, Liu Changchuan wandered here leisurely with a cigarette in his mouth. When he was halfway through smoking, he opened the door of the hotel and walked out. Several military police did not stop him. As long as he did not leave the hotel, they would not care.
"Liu Sang, why did you come out?" Naomichi Itai, the leader of the intelligence team, waved to him.
"Itai-kun, didn't I see you taking things out of Yaroslav's room and coming over to take a look?" Liu Changchuan walked up to Itai and said softly.
"Do you also doubt Yaroslav?" Naomichi Banjing asked as he handed the vase in his hand to his subordinate.
"Of course, it's not just me who suspects it. When I went to the torture room just now, Section Chief Minamizo Masako of the Special Class also suspected that Yaroslav had many problems." Liu Changchuan found a chair and sat down and handed over a cigarette.
"No wonder, I was warned by Miss Masako before I searched Yaroslav's room carefully." Naomichi Itai nodded, took the cigarette and put it in his ear.
"There are too many items. Where are the things in Yaroslav's room?" Liu Changchuan stood up and looked around.
"The No. 3 sign over there belongs to Yaroslav's guest room. There are 8 suspects, and 4 of them have all the belongings in the guest room." Naomichi Sakai pointed to a piece of furniture in the corner of the right corner.
"Itai-kun, let me go over and take a look. What if I'm lucky enough to find the film?" Liu Changchuan smiled and said hello to Itai Naomi and headed in the direction of the No. 3 sign.
"I hope you can find something." Naomichi smiled and shook his head.
He did not believe that Liu Changchuan could find the film. The intelligence team searched Yaroslav's room for more than 5 hours, searching almost every corner, but found nothing.
Liu Changchuan walked to a standing cabinet, raised his head and pretended to touch the cabinet door, but in fact his eyes were directly looking at the Fenglai Hotel opposite. He believed that Lao Zhang was watching him on the third floor of the hotel at this moment.
Team leader, you finally came out...
Lao Zhang, who was on the third floor of Fenglai Hotel, took a long breath when he saw Liu Changchuan walking out of the hotel.
He has stayed in the hotel for one night. For safety reasons, he is going to check out and go back if he still can't see Liu Changchuan. As for the orders from the headquarters, I don't care, you can't force me to die if I can't contact you!
It's just that Lao Zhang is in a dilemma now. If he taps on the window sill with Morse code, the Japanese will definitely see it. Those people are not ordinary people. It can be seen at a glance that he is delivering a message. Putting aside his own safety, Liu Changchuan will definitely Will be discovered, and when the time comes, the gain will outweigh the gain.
But the opportunity is rare, so we must find other ways, otherwise we will not have the chance.
Liu Changchuan pretended to fumble and search the furniture, dressing table, and big bed for more than ten minutes. He saw a few newspapers floating down from the window where Lao Zhang lived, and then the pair of shoes that were used as passwords were taken away.
