Chapter 42: Twilight

Xiakou, French Concession.

Luo Yao and Gong Hui play a young couple, walking hand in arm, shoulder to shoulder on the most prosperous street in the French Concession, General Xiafei Street, also known as Xiafei Road.

Shanghai's French Concession also has a strip of the same name.

This is also the only concession that currently exists in Jiangcheng, and the Japanese concession has long been forcibly recovered by the government after the war, and the Japanese assets have also been confiscated.

He suddenly understood why Dai Yunong would rush to the hospital when he was ill and transferred him from the temporary training class, because this mysterious "ghost" platform was in the Xiakou French Concession.

In order to avoid diplomatic disputes, the military command did not dare to arbitrarily mess around.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

Technical reasons are also one of them.

It is more difficult to enter the detection equipment, and it is not the same for people.

Luo Yao said that he wanted to go to the area where the "ghost" platform was located to take a look at the spot, Wei Daming had no reason to refuse, and arranged for someone to send them across the river.

The Japanese spy will not live in a vacuum, and if he wants to hide himself better, he will inevitably give himself a legal identity and a considerable source of income.

In this way, it can lurk without any flaws.

That Lin Miao must be a person with multiple identities, but the identities he chooses must be very different, otherwise, there must be so many talents in the military, and it is not difficult to find his traces.

Luo Yao and Gong Hui both wore makeup, although he basically never came to the French Concession when he was in Xiakou, but if Bao Buqi met one or two acquaintances and was recognized, it would be troublesome.

Twilight Cafe!

It is very famous in the French Concession, Luo Yao heard about it when he was at the Xiakou Police Station, and many petty bourgeois men and women like to go for a drink in the afternoon.

Now that they've all walked to the door.

Luo Yao's heart moved, and he turned his head to Gong Hui and said warmly: "Xiaohui, how about we go in and have a cup of coffee?" ”

Gong Hui's cheeks flushed, and she nodded unconsciously, playing a couple with Luo Yao, she was a little uncomfortable at first, after all, the relationship between them was not so close, but when she stepped on that arm, she didn't feel that she could be such a small woman.

Pushed open the door and walked inside.

"Sir, welcome to the Twilight Cafe." The waiter standing at the door bent down and greeted him.

Nodding slightly, he found a table by the window facing the street, Luo Yao politely pulled a chair for Gong Hui, and then walked over and sat down by himself.

"Xiaohui, what do you drink?"

"I'll do whatever I want." Gong Hui said very casually, she has no special requirements for coffee, it is nothing more than a drink.

Luo Yao nodded and nodded at the waiter: "Bring me a cup of American, this young lady will have a cup of cappuccino." ”

"For dessert and fruit, we have seasonal fruit plates, chocolate almond cake, tiramisu, muffin pudding...... and more," the waiter said.

"Then a fruit platter and a chocolate almond cake." Luo Yao made the decision for Gong Hui.

"Okay, you guys, wait a minute."

……

"Good afternoon, sir, miss, this is your first time at our Twilight Café, right?" Luo Yao chatted with Gong Hui for a few words, and saw a middle-aged man in a blue suit with a rather good temperament leading the waiter over, and immediately signaled and shut up.

"Your Excellency?"

"The owner of my twilight coffee house, the two of you just call me Lao Mu." Lao Mu politely bent down and introduced himself, "For the new customers of our store, we will have a free order benefit, do you choose this time to free the order, or next time?" ”

"Yes, there is such a benefit, if the guest only comes once, won't the boss lose money?" Luo Yao was a little surprised, this boss is really willing to spend money in business.

"I'm confident that if anyone comes to me once, he'll come a second time, a third time." Lao Mu smiled confidently, looking very gentle and elegant, looking like a literati temperament, which made people can't help but have a feeling of closeness.

"yes, let's choose next time, so at least there's a reason to do it again." Luo Yao smiled, and didn't intend to take advantage of this.

"Okay, for the first time to choose the free order, we will give a free dessert, that is, the chocolate almond cake that this lady ordered today will not be counted in today's consumption." Lao Mu laughed, and personally placed the coffee and fruit platter, as well as the chocolate almond cake, on the table in front of the two of them from the hands of the waiter behind him, "Two, please use it slowly." ”

"Thank you." Luo Yao smiled slightly, and his good impression of Lao Mu doubled.

Some people are born with a kind of affinity, and this Lao Mu is undoubtedly such a person, who can open such a coffee house in the French Concession, not an ordinary person.

British country music, soothing and elegant.

Luo Yao and Gong Hui drank coffee, ate seasonal fruits and desserts, it was originally a rare comfortable and calm afternoon, but the piercing air raid sirens broke all this.

Beginning on 30 April, the Japanese army began to carry out non-stop air raids on Jiangcheng, Xiakou is the most prosperous urban area in Jiangcheng, and many important civilian and military targets are the targets of Japanese aircraft.

Even the French Concession is not immune.

So as soon as the air raid sirens sounded, the crowd on the street immediately ran wildly......

The Twilight Cafe also became a temporary shelter.

Explosions were heard.

It should be far away, but you can still feel a strong shaking of the ground.

More than ten minutes later, the alarm was lifted, and the people who had evacuated all walked out of the shops on both sides of the road.

People are used to it, and this is also a kind of helplessness, and they can only be beaten if they are not strong.

Luo Yao was about to check out and leave with Gong Hui, when a familiar figure walked in at the door of the coffee house, he was stunned for a moment, and sat back again.

He never expected that he would meet Han Yun here, and there was a young man with a shiny face behind her, Hu Yisheng.

"Lao Mu."

"Miss Han, Master Hu is here, is it still the same old rule today?" Lao Mu was obviously very familiar with the two, and walked over to say hello.

Han Yun nodded, leaning her back against Hu Yisheng, looking like a little bird.

The two are already engaged, Luo Yao already knows this, the wood is already in the boat, what else can he do? Rushed up and questioned the two, did it work?

When the time comes, it will be you who will lose face.

"Brother Yao?" Gong Hui is very sensitive. sense, from the moment Han Yun came in, she noticed that Luo Yao's expression was different, this young and beautiful woman should know Luo Yao.

"It's okay, I met an acquaintance, let's go." Luo Yao put the money under the cup, stood up again, and said calmly.

Gong Hui didn't ask much, and followed out.

……

"Xiao Yun, what's wrong?" Hu Yisheng noticed that Han Yun's face was different, and asked with concern, although he was engaged to Han Yun, this woman had never let him get close, which made him very unhappy.

If it weren't for Han Yun's father's unusual identity, and the two families were officially married, would he Hu Gongzi want a woman, would he need to be so flattering?

"Nothing." When Han Yun saw Luo Yao's back just now, she felt a little familiar, and couldn't help but be in a trance.

A woman's intuition.

……

"The one who came in in a pink coat just now is called Han Yun, and behind her is her fiancé, Hu Yisheng, the son of Hu Youyu, the richest man in Xiakou." Luo Yao walked out of the twilight café and took the initiative to explain to Gong Hui.

"She's Han Yun?" Gong Hui knows a little about Luo Yao's past, Han Yun and Luo Yao are doll relatives since childhood, Luo Yao was depressed after the disaster, the Han family regretted marriage and wanted to marry the Hu family.

Luo Yaojin entered the special training class, and it was also secretly made bad by the Han family.

And even the excuse after regretting the marriage was thought of, Luo Yao took the initiative to give up the marriage contract in exchange for his future, and the good people let the Han family do it.

Blameless!

didn't even have a chance to get Luo Yao to defend himself.

"It's over, Gong Hui, this person has nothing to do with me anymore." Luo Yao let out a long breath.

Hey, it's so hard to pretend.

Gong Hui didn't know what to say, but she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart, she had seen Han Yun just now, and in terms of beauty, it was because she didn't lose to herself.

And she has a marriage contract with Luo Yao, if this relationship is still there, she has no chance, and now ......

……

Luo Yao and Gong Hui lived in the Jiangcheng Garrison Headquarters, and the military commander arranged for them to have the identity of an inspector with the rank of captain.

The two of them are on temporary secondment, and they are not allowed to ask the inspectorate from top to bottom about what they do, but if they need to cooperate, they must be unconditional, because this is an order from above.

This is also what Luo Yao himself requested, doing things with Wei Daming, it was really uncomfortable, looking at other people's faces everywhere.

What do you need, you have to beg others, it's not good to always go to Mao Qiwu, I can help you come forward once or twice, and if you have more times, people will annoy you.

Therefore, he simply begged Mao Qiwu at one time to let him and Gong Hui set up a separate investigation team to track down the whereabouts of the "ghost" radio station.

Without the cooperation of the telecommunications department, it is simply a fantasy that the two of them will single-handedly try to find the "ghost" station.

Mao Qiwu had a good impression of Luo Yao, and advised him not to be rash, why not use the technical strength of the Telecommunications Department?

Wei Daming didn't cooperate, and he gave a face, as long as he could find the "ghost" platform, he couldn't run away from this credit.

Luo Yao didn't say that he was going to deal with the telecommunications, but said that it didn't make much sense for him to listen to the sounds of those radio waves at the telecommunications office, and he might as well let him listen to them on the spot.

Mao Qiwu can't help it, whether Luo Yao can find the "ghost" platform or not, he can't say well, anyway, now it's a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Wei Daming has been looking for so long, but he hasn't locked a target, maybe, it can really be a miracle?

That's why Luo Yao and Gong Hui acted alone.

Gong Hui didn't understand Luo Yao's behavior either, but she couldn't help it, didn't ask much, and didn't object, she was a person who had seen Luo Yao's ability, and she believed that Luo Yao would not joke about her future.

So, without hesitation, he followed.
