Chapter 74

Xu Qinghe has no more illusions about Cheng Mo going to Mr. You’s house to pay respect to the dock, young people, have ideas, do not bow down, very normal.

It’s normal for young people to have ideas and not bow down. They’ll understand when they hit the south wall.

However, now that Pryde has assigned him to work under Cheng Mo, he can’t help himself.

There is no way, who let Cheng Mo is a detective, he is just a detective, the official level of pressure, even if some appearance, have to do a little.

Regarding the investigation and registration of the Japanese living and working in the precincts of the old gates, he still did some work.

After all, Cheng Mo once asked, if he can not answer, this is a problem, people really give him shoes, with his current relationship with Pryde …….

This drink foreign ink is not the same, especially from Japan back, know that the Japanese are now in power.

Cheng Mo is fluent in Japanese, in Shanghai, that is certainly popular.

Don’t look at him didn’t go to worship dock, Mr. You didn’t say anything?

For other people, long ago on the means, but also allows you to be able to stay in the old gate arrest room peacefully.

Now, obviously there is a kind of well water offenses river water meaning, well, this Cheng Mo is not looking for things, the rules or understand, we are also considered to be peaceful.

Pryde’s news, the Ministry of Public Works Bureau and the Japanese side is about to reach an agreement, the signing of the contract in these days, the two sides still have some small details need to be discussed.

Details, naturally, do not need the big brother to appear, so Cheng Mo and Pryde have been to Hongkou many times.

Then my sick at home translator was basically abandoned.

Each person has his own destiny, this can not be helped, according to Xu Qinghe privately revealed that this Luo Zhiming is not sick at all, he is pretending to be sick, this guy is timid, do not want to go with Pryde to negotiate with the Japanese, for fear of being scolded as a “traitor”.

This Cheng Mo is able to understand, after all, at this time, many people do not want to stick with the Japanese relationship, not to mention that the reputation ruined, but also may lose their lives.

The Blue Coat Society’s “Hoe” team has been quite active lately.

Cheng Mo must have his own people in the old police station, Xu Qinghe is not bad, but sometimes slippery a bit, it is not a big problem.

This in the police station to make a living, not a little slippery really can not, Cheng Mo’s some sources of information, that are from Xu Qinghe mouth out.

Although the relationship can not talk about how good, but still get along well.

“Cheng leader, I found…found a situation.” On this day, Cheng Mo had just gone to work when Xu Qinghe hurriedly came in from outside, stuttering out of his mouth.

“What situation?”

“Two guests are staying at the Dong’an Hostel on Wumao Road, the name registered is Chinese, but they look like Japanese.”

“Are you sure?” Cheng Mo sniffed and couldn’t help but frown.

“Not sure, but I’m familiar with the boss of Dong’an hostel, this person is sharp-eyed, what people, what to do, he can see a glimpse of a seven or eight, the old powerful le.” Xu Qinghe explained.

“Well, go over and take a look.” Cheng Mo got up and said, this is if the Japanese agents, it is not the same, the Ministry of Public Works Bureau and the Japanese side is an agreement, the Japanese side shall not send agents in the concession to do things, if you need to cross the border to handle the case, you need to inform the Ministry of Public Works Bureau of the Police Department to cooperate with the arrests, and more need to have a public concession to the police station, can not be privately arrests, and arrests, the need to be in the public concession to be tried, if you have to extradite, but also in accordance with the relevant regulations, the Ministry of Public Works Bureau side have the right to refuse.

If there is no restriction, these Japanese agents can enter and engage in whatever they like, will the Concession not be in chaos, and will the Concession still be a paradise for the Great Powers?

As to whether the Japanese will abide by the rules, that is one thing, whether there are rules or not is another.

If the Japanese are engaged in secret service activities in the Concession, the Bureau of Public Works will not agree, as to whether to turn a blind eye, or to react in other ways, depending on the actual situation.

Changed an ordinary robe, Cheng Mo and Xu Qinghe out of the door, to the five roads, which all the way to the traffic, a peaceful and lively atmosphere.

This makes Cheng Mo can not help but think of the people of Zhabei, as well as in the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders under the support of the people of Nanjing, the heart can not help but hate the Japanese invaders and increased by one point.

This account will not only be liquidated later, but also ten times, hundred times to come back, what to repay grudges with virtue, go to hell.

Five roads of the Dong’an Inn, Cheng Mo met the boss, round, fat, with a small round old-fashioned glasses boss.

The owner’s surname was Zheng, the same surname as the one who went to the West.

“One of them lives in 301, one in 305, registered names, one surnamed Ma, one surnamed Yang, have been living there for a week, lived in years ago.”

“Didn’t say what they were doing in Shanghai?”

“One said he was looking for relatives, the other said he was doing business and was going to purchase some goods from Shanghai to go back and sell, but I don’t think either of them look like that.” The boss said.

“How?”

“This go to relatives, often in the room, a stay is a whole day, dinner also called for people to send, but also special also eat oranges, that do business, go out in the morning, come back in the evening, talk strange, sometimes, go out in the morning and come back in the evening, but also wear is not the same jacket …… ”

Cheng Mo listened to the boss’s description and basically had a number in his heart, these two people had ulterior motives even if they weren’t Japanese agents.

“Boss, do you have any weirder guests, or long term tenants living in this hostel?”

“Weird guests, except for these two, there’s nothing else, I don’t have many guests staying here for a long time, usually three to five days, like them, it’s already considered long, long chartered rooms, that’s all old customers.”

“Alright, show me their rooms, no one is here now, right?”

“The one surnamed Ma who lives in 301, went out early this morning, the one surnamed Yang, I didn’t see, I don’t know if he’s in the room.”

“In this case, find me a set of cleaner’s clothes, I’ll go there myself.” Cheng Mo commanded, make-up detection this is one of the mandatory courses for agents. “Mr. Xu ……”

“This is our head Cheng, listen to him.” Xu Qinghe nodded.

“No problem.” Boss Cheng nodded, for those who ran a hostel, the rooms always had to be cleaned, it was a necessary service.

“The cleaners didn’t go up to clean today, did they?”

“Not yet.”

“Is it always at this time?”

“About the same, sometimes later, depending on the guest’s needs, sometimes, if the guest asks for the afternoon, we’ll send someone in the afternoon as well.”

“Lao Xu, you stay here, if there is a situation, notify me immediately.” After Cheng Mo asked about the details, he left Xu Qinghe behind, and carrying his own cleaning tools, he directly went up to the third floor.

301 There was no one, so Cheng Mo naturally started from it, knocked on the door and asked, before taking out the key given by Boss Zheng to open the door and walked in.

The house is not very dirty, but the table by the window has some peanut shells, and a wine bottle and wine cups, scattered packages of marinara kraft paper ……

The quilt on the bed was a bit messy.

Cheng Mo cleaned up while carefully observing to see if there were any useful clues left in the house, such as luggage left by the guests.

He saw a suitcase just under the bed.

After carefully observing it and realizing that it was not marked, he carefully lifted it up and put it on the bed, the box was locked.

But this is not difficult to Cheng Mo, from his pocket took out a small wire to, easily opened the lock.

Carefully lifted the lid of the box, inside, in addition to some change of clothes, there is nothing suspicious, checked, did not find a sandwich or something like that.

Could it be that one’s judgment is wrong, this is an ordinary traveler, not any Japanese secret agent at all? Eyes suddenly swept to a pair of slippers at the foot of the bed.

This is the hostel for the guests to prepare, this era there is no disposable, are worn by others, can not help but wash it, and then give the next person to wear, some do not wash at all.

But this pair of slippers is obviously worn, Cheng Mo squatted down to carefully observe the slippers toe position pressure marks.

This careful scrutiny, but also really he can see some circumstances.

Japanese people used to wear clogs, big toe and the other four toes are separated, the middle gap is relatively large, wearing in this kind of cotton and linen slippers, the traces of the pressure is naturally different from the Chinese, he lived for a long time, the slippers have not been replaced, and naturally left a mark!

This guy has been careful enough, the room’s life details are in place, but still a hundred percent.

Cheng Mo restored the box and put it back.

Then he organized the quilts and swept the living garbage in the room and brought it out.

The same action, room 303 he also came once, he is not sure how soundproof this hostel room is, so he can’t jump over, once he jumps over, if the person in room 305 didn’t go out, it will inevitably cause suspicion.

Therefore, even a little delay was worth it.

And after the incident of cleaning room 303, he also paid attention to listen to the movement of the next door room 305, and the sound of another slight chair moving.

It was basically decided that there was someone in room 305.

Someone is someone’s practice.

Cheng Mo quickly finished cleaning room 303, then opened the door and went out, carrying his tools, and came to the door of room 305, reaching out and knocking on the door.

“Anyone, cleaning the room.”

Hearing footsteps coming from inside, Cheng Mo stood at the door and waited, the moment the door opened from the inside, he bowed, “Good day sir, cleaning and cleaning the room.”

The person who opened the door saw Cheng Mo bowing and saluting him, he also subconsciously bent his waist, “Thank you, come in.”

As expected, he was Japanese, bowing such a conditioned reflex, only Japanese people have it, Chinese people won’t have it.

“Why is there a new person today, where is Old Money?”

“Sir is hearing it wrong, our Dong’an Inn cleaner has always been Lao Zhou, he has some family matters today, I’m here to cover his shift for the day.” Cheng Mo said, actually using this little trick to test himself.

“I may have misheard you, but how come I haven’t spoken about you?” The man in the room was still wary and came back with another sentence.

“I’m just temporarily covering the shift and don’t work here, of course mister hasn’t spoken about me.” Cheng Mo smiled and gave an explanation, skillfully tidying up, his eyes caught a black belt under the quilt, so he said, “Sir, let me fold the quilt for you?”

“No need, I still plan to sleep for a while later, folding it, troublesome.” The secret agent hastily stopped it.

“Oh, okay then.” Cheng Mo didn’t move and finished cleaning up, then quickly brought the door closed and walked out.

The piece of belt that was exposed, Cheng Mo recognized it, it was from the telescope, hanging around his neck.

The curtains were half hidden, and carrying binoculars, was this guy observing some target across the street? Seeking collection, seeking subscriptions, seeking monthly votes!
