Jinshan Hotel, No. 27 Boxian Road, Zhenjiang.
This is the most upscale hotel in Zhenjiang.
It turns out that this place and No. 29 were the private residences of Tu Jiahua, the former Postmaster General of Jiangsu and Anhui Postal Administration.
Not long after the Tujiahua Mansion was built, the Anti-Japanese War broke out.
After the fall of Zhenjiang, Wang Jingwei's puppet government invited Tu Jiahua to preside over the preparations for the establishment of the General Post Office.
Tu Jiahua began to prepare to leave for Nanjing, but then he suddenly realized that he was afraid that he would be reviled by the world if the evening festival was not guaranteed. So I tried my best to find reasons to resign from the preparatory position, and returned to Zhenjiang to continue working as an apartment owner.
Tu Zhai's source of income mainly relies on Tu Jiahua's pension and pension, and soon the family was already stretched thin.
At this time, a man named Wang Shengru came to discuss renting the Tu family's house.
This man named Wang Shengru was a small leader of the detective team under the police station at that time. The rent he proposed made the Tu family think it was a good deal, so the Tu family rented both buildings to Wang Shengru.
Wang Shengru transformed the mansion at No. 29 into a "dance hall" and "coffee shop", and the two houses at No. 27 into Jinshan Hotel, which sells Chinese and Western food, and the hotel also has accommodation business.
What the Tu family didn't expect was that Wang Shengru, who appeared to be the small leader of the detective team, was actually a local ruffian.
After he paid the rent for the first three months as scheduled, in the fourth month when the Tu family came to collect the rent, Wang Shengru suddenly took out the gun from his waist, slapped it on the table fiercely, and then said to the Tu family, "If you don't have the money, I will give it to you." Take the gun."
The Tu family was frightened by this, and after Tu Jiahua's retirement, social relations became increasingly dispersed. They were unable to fight against this evil force, so they had no choice but to let Wang Shengru occupy the property.
Jinshan Hotel is the most upscale hotel in Zhenjiang. The hotel with its "dance hall" and "café" is the most desirable place for young men and women.
People coming from northern Jiangsu take a ship to Pier 7. If they want to transfer to Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places after getting off the ship, they have to go through Tianzhu Street to Daxi Road, and then go through Boxian Road to Gyeonggi Road.
At that time, Bo Xian Road was a prime location where every inch of land was at a premium, and the Jinshan Hotel was the largest and most luxurious hotel in the prime location.
Therefore, this Wang Shengru relied on these two places to earn a lot of gold every day.
But what can really fall into Wang Shengru's pocket is actually not even one-fifth.
Everything in the police station needs to be taken care of, otherwise why would anyone let you, a small leader of a small detective team, occupy such a prime location, or did you get it through intimidation?
The Japanese must also be taken care of there. After all, this is an occupied area and a place controlled by the Japanese.
There are all kinds of spies from the gendarmerie and intelligence agencies, big and small. Apart from the usual monthly share, they don't pay a penny for eating, dancing and lodging here at other times.
There are also courts, tax bureaus, cultural bureaus... none of them can be missing.
Once, the Director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau entertained guests here. Wang Shengru thought that the other party was a Qingshui Yamen and did not take them seriously. Not only did he collect money as usual, but he did not give any discounts.
As a result, the director was annoyed and sent someone to find the Tu family, helped them write a complaint, found a connection with the court, and submitted a complaint to the court, accusing Wang Shengru of robbing a house.
This matter made Wang Shengru very anxious, and he spent a lot of money to settle the matter.
This scholar is playing hooligan, and gods can't stop him.
Yesterday, Japanese Gendarmerie Captain Yuu Matsumoto came to him and said that due to special circumstances, the Gendarmerie wanted to temporarily "borrow" a sum of money from Jinshan Hotel and asked it to be completed within three days.
Fifty thousand yen.
Wang Shengru's head was about to explode.
Fifty thousand yen?
Where would I go to find the 50,000 yen for a while?
And you lent it to the Japanese, do you still expect them to pay it back?
The problem is that the Japanese themselves cannot afford to offend.
Distraught, Wang Shengru had a bad temper all day long. If his subordinates were a little slow in doing things, he would immediately yell at him loudly.
Money.
"Captain Wang."
Wang Shengru looked up and saw that it was Huang Fan, the liaison director of the Japanese secret service in Zhenjiang. He immediately raised his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Why is Director Huang free to come here today?"
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything."
Huang Fan smoked a cigarette: "My wife's birthday is tomorrow. I originally wanted to find a small restaurant for everyone to have fun, but you also know that my wife likes pomp and excitement, and she also likes your Jinshan Hotel..."
Wang Shengru understood as soon as he heard that he was another freeloader.
The problem is that the Japanese now value Huang Fan very much and they cannot afford to offend him. At that time, he said bravely:
"Your wife is treated as a treasure by you. Since you value the store so much, what can you say? I will help make the arrangements tomorrow night. I guarantee that your wife will have sex with you several times after she returns home. .”
Huang Fan burst out laughing: "Thank you, thank you."
As he said that, he looked to the side and asked, "Have any suspicious people come here recently?"
Wang Shengru was upset when he heard this, but he couldn't say anything publicly: "You, Director Huang, have arrested all the suspects in Zhenjiang. Where are there any suspicious people?"
Overtly complimentary, secretly sarcastic.
Does it bother you that you bring people to Jinshan Hotel every now and then?
Huang Fan didn't care, and was about to speak when he suddenly saw the waiter opening the door of the store and welcoming four people, three men and one woman.
Huang Fan has been a spy for a long time. He has sharp eyes and a keen sense of smell. When he saw these four people, he immediately felt that they had some origins.
He remained calm and quietly observed from the side.
The woman held the arm of the young man with a mustache and glasses. A tough guy stood beside them.
Another man, also young, came to the service desk and said in stiff Chinese:
"Two rooms, want the best."
"Please show me your ID."
"We didn't bring our documents."
"Then you have to go to the gendarmerie and get the opening certificate."
"Please open the room for us first. Mr. and Mrs. are tired."
"Sorry, sir, that's the rule."
"Asshole!" The man suddenly became angry.
Seeing that something was about to happen, Wang Shengru was about to go up when he suddenly heard the man with glasses say in Japanese:
"Kanekawa-kun, calm down. If they ask for ID, give it to them."
"Hai, Lord Nobi."
Wang Shengru was shocked when he heard that the other party was speaking Japanese.
Huang Fan understood Japanese and knew what the other party was talking about, so he whispered to Wang Shengru: "The name of this hot-tempered one is Guchuan, and his master's name is Nobi."
"Are they Japanese?" Wang Shengru asked.
"It seems so." Huang Fan rolled his eyes and said, "However, some enemy agents speak more authentic Japanese than Chinese. I have arrested many such people. Captain Wang, you have to help I watched these four people carefully."
"I know, how dare they cause trouble here?"
