The red-nosed foreigner who called Master Senpo (Ma Xiaoguang) looked really familiar. When they met, everyone was facing each other. Although the fat man had a dull facial expression, he recognized him immediately.
He was among the group of spies from all over the world just now!
"Ah, sir, I can tell at a glance that you are a kind man and an honest man. I now formally invite a gentleman like you to come forward and help me!"
The red-nosed foreigner eagerly shouted to Master Senpo in English.
Master Senpo naturally looked confused and asked in English: "Dear sir, are you calling me?"
"Of course, sir, of the four of us here, except me, you are the one who is a gentleman!"
The red-nosed foreigner said in an arrogant tone.
Manager Shi of the hotel next to him couldn't help but laugh a little when he heard this. He looked at Master Senpo helplessly and shrugged.
The fat man was a little unhappy. He rolled his eyes at the red-nosed foreigner and thought to himself, does this exclude your fat man from being a gentleman?
"Tell me, sir, what can I do for you? Let me make it clear first, no need to talk about borrowing money, we are not familiar with each other!"
Young Master Senpo's face was stern, and he politely but resolutely dismissed the red-nosed foreigner's bad intentions.
"No, no, gentlemen, you misunderstood. As a gentleman, how could I be short of money? My passport is missing and I can't stay in a hotel..."
"Please forgive my presumption, I would like to ask you to vouch for it. Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain. I will give you ten pounds as a thank you!" said the red-nosed foreigner with a blushing face.
This time, Master Senpo and Fatty were a little confused!
The reason for the red-nosed foreigner is right. It's really bad to say it's wrong. But since they don't care about money, it doesn't seem good to refuse in person.
I glanced at Manager Shi, but the other person had a conflicted expression.
"Manager Shi, is there such a rule?"
Master Senpo asked with some uncertainty.
"Mistto, we are the oldest hotel in Shanghai, and we are also a regular hotel. Check-in must be strictly registered, but this gentleman's passport is missing!"
"We are telling him to either get his ID back or find a distinguished guest of ours to vouch for it..."
Manager Shi said to Master Senpo politely, as if explaining the hotel's rules to a red-nosed foreigner again.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm not short of money either..."
Upon hearing this, Master Senpo politely refused based on the principle that doing more is worse than doing less.
"No, sir, you can't do this, I'm a detective, Detective Poirot, you know? Murder on the Orient Express!"
The red-nosed foreigner rolled his eyes and said mysteriously to Master Senpo.
At this time, not only Master Senpo and the fat man, but also the strict manager Shi could not hold back any longer and said quickly: "Sir, that is a novel..."
"No, gentlemen, you are wrong. In fact, there really is Detective Poirot. He is my brother and I am his younger brother!" the red-nosed foreigner said anxiously.
This time it was Young Master Senpo's turn. He couldn't stand it any longer. He suddenly thought about it and said, "As a gentleman, being eager for justice and being righteous is a virtue. How about you add more?"
The red-nosed foreigner was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said with a smile: "Okay then, twenty pounds, no more, any more is enough to rent an apartment outside!"
Ignoring the red-nosed foreigner's complaints, Master Senpo reluctantly said to Manager Shi: "That's it, I'm a warm-hearted person. Can you please get a letter of guarantee from Manager Shi..."
Although Manager Shi was puzzled, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. He opened the door to do business and couldn't drive the customers out, so he naturally complied.
The fat man on the side is even more messy. What kind of operation is this?
Master Senpo even earns this kind of money?
Could it be that your brain is going crazy again?
While the fat man was still confused, the check-in procedure for the red-nosed foreigner over there had been completed - room 501!
The red-nosed foreigner completed the check-in formalities and asked the waiter to deliver his luggage to the room first. Then he turned to Master Senpo and said: "Sir, thank you very much for your enthusiasm. As a thank you and celebration, may I propose that we all have a drink together?" "
Master Senpo immediately happily agreed to the foreigner's invitation and asked him to go in front, while he and the fat man walked behind, heading towards the bar.
The two of them exchanged a look on the road, and the meaning in their eyes was the same: "If you have an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard."
In the bar, everyone sat down and whiskey was brought out.
"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Sheppard Poirot. The famous detective Poirot is my brother!"
The red-nosed foreigner opened the wine bottle and poured wine for the two of them, while introducing himself in a serious manner. This time, as if he was afraid that the fat man would not understand, he spoke in somewhat stiff Chinese.
"I said, who is that, glass... ah no, Mr. Poirot, you old man, stop pretending, I haven't read much, but I also know that the great detective is from the novel..."
The fat man couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted Mr. "Poirot".
"No, no, no, those are just the misunderstandings of some ignorant people. We are a family of detectives. Of course, except for my brother, everyone in our family is very low-key!"
Detective Poirot looked around and whispered in a low voice, as if he was afraid that the secret would be leaked. He was completely different from the one who looked so red and pale in the lobby.
"Okay, Mr. Poirot, stop pretending. To be honest, you didn't want to reveal your identity, so you asked me to come forward? Right?"
Master Senpo said jokingly. As he spoke, he unceremoniously picked up a glass of wine and tasted it.
The fat man was not polite at all. He also picked up a glass of wine and drank it by himself.
Detective Poirot blushed and said, "No, no, it's really not the case. I just want to hide my identity and stay in a hotel, or go to the black market to get a set of documents. Why should I attract attention? Do you think so?"
As soon as he said this, Master Senpo and Fatty were moved in their hearts, and they both looked at Detective Poirot in amusement.
"Okay, gentlemen, now that we know each other, I will explain it to you, but please don't tell anyone else!"
Detective Poirot once again lowered his voice and spoke to the two young masters Senpo.
"I say, Mr. Poirot, you either have to talk nicely, or we all break up. Don't be pretentious. We are all foxes with thousands of years of history. What are we talking about?"
The fat man shouted impatiently.
Detective Poirot said with some helplessness: "Okay, let me tell the truth, gentlemen, I am really Detective Poirot, but I come from the Dai Ying Empire, from the foggy city of Europe, and I have a special mission."
"My public identity is indeed Detective Poirot. You can check it... In fact, I can see that you and I are traveling together. I will also tell you my other identity. I am a special intelligence officer of the Dai Ying Empire's MI6. member!"
As soon as these words came out, both Master Senpo and Fatty's eyes widened.
