(Note before writing: I don't know what Shanghai was like in 1914.) I checked a lot of information, all of which were Shanghai materials in the twenties and thirties. There is very little information before 1920, so when I write about the scene of Shanghai, I use the big Shanghai after 1930 as the blueprint, so don't find fault with the party, and don't get entangled. The book itself is a time-traveling otherworldly text, and all the settings are fictional. I try to get as close to history as possible, plausible. It's good for everyone to read the story, and if you want to get entangled, you can read the history textbook. ）

The disappearance of the Victoria, after a joint blockade investigation by the port police and the Japanese consulate failed, became another supernatural legend in the port of Shanghai.

As a person who was in direct conflict with the missing person, I was repeatedly investigated by the Japanese as the object of suspicion for a long time. Backed by the favorable testimony of a number of witnesses and the ship's third mate, Mr. Scott, the Japanese had no choice but to let us go.

Walking down the ramp of the cruise ship, I saw Zhang Mazi and Chen Shouting, who had already disembarked the ship, and greeted them with a smile.

"The two eldest brothers have to wait for their brothers!"

"Brother, are you alright?"

The two of them asked with concern at the same time. Chen Shouting didn't see me when I was shooting on the deck, so he didn't have any associations with me about the disappearance.

And Zhang Mazi is different, he has seen with his own eyes the skills of his newly recognized little brother, so he has a personal experience of the horror of this skill's speed. If the disappearance of the Japanese had nothing to do with his little brother, I don't believe him if he was killed.

Zhang Mazi just hasn't figured it out yet, how did this little brother do it? When the cabin is next to the cabin and full of guests, how can you make the five big living people disappear inexplicably without alarming others???

"It's okay! Just an investigation inquiry. Where does Sixth Brother plan to live? I saw that Xiao Dezi had already hailed a rickshaw, so I said casually.

"What's that asking? Stay with me! Where I house the earth is very! Zhang Mazi hurriedly greeted.

I wanted to live in the past, and I wanted to get close to the former captain of the pistol team and see if there was a chance to recruit the former captain of the pistol team, who was both top in skill and team tactics.

However, when I saw the two Japanese in the distance who had been watching me since I got off the boat, I temporarily canceled my plan to live in Zhang Mazi's house. I was only stationed in Shanghai for a while, and I had to go back to Beijing after all. So there is no need to leave the trouble to Zhang Mazi. What's more, he is not alone, the more people have more concerns, and if he is not careful, he will suffer. Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Mazi:

"Brother Makino! You just need to greet Brother Liuzi! I have other arrangements! By the way, give me the phone number of your mansion! ”

As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes to the two Japanese who were staring at him in the distance. Who is Zhang Mazi! Poisonous eyes! Two suspicious people had already been discovered. I made a gesture and immediately understood what I meant.

"Oh well! But be careful, after all, you have a daughter! Zhang Mazi said worriedly.

"It's okay! Big brother, don't worry! ”

So the soldiers split into two ways, and I took my people to the most famous hotel on the Bund, the Sassoon Hotel in Shanghai (Peace Hotel).

Originally, the cruise ship arrived at Shanghai Port at noon, but due to the delay in the investigation of the disappearance, when we arrived at the tallest building in Shanghai, it was already sunset.

Sassoon Hotel is the first high-rise building with more than 10 floors built in Greater Shanghai, with a total height of 77 meters, and is known as the first building in the Far East. It has an iconic large green copper triangular roof.

When the hotel's three doormen stepped forward to take over the luggage, he was blocked by Wu's mother. Joke! ~~~ How can the young master's underwear and items pass through the hands of others!

Then the three prettyly dressed little girls took the initiative to take over and lift the small suitcase containing the soft one. The larger suitcase was shared by the two mothers and Mr. Yu and carried it to the luggage cart.

The doorman was speechless and stunned, looking at two fashionable men and women, leading a team of three little girls with small suitcases and two old mothers pushing a luggage cart, followed by an incompatible sick and crooked lady in a lace princess dress, carefully supported by two maids (sister Xu Yating). The last four big men in black suits pressed the formation. Dizzy! ~~~~~~

I can't complain that Ah San is in a daze, although Ah San has seen too many dignitaries from various countries in Shanghai, but today is the first time to see such a magnificent guest. Even the servants who followed were more magnificent, not to mention the grandeur and contempt of their masters, yes! It's the kind of contempt that doesn't care if you exist or not. It makes Ah San ashamed that he doesn't dare to go forward, the heritage of a century-old family, where can a person like him understand! ~~~

This time, Xu Yating, the little sister, also brought two maids from the house, so my "tour group" increased to 14 people. And Miss Jiao Xu Yating is sulking with herself all the way! It didn't appear in front of me. This is not! I'm still sick.

I don't have time to pay attention to her, it's not that I ignore and don't care about her, no matter what, I'm also a good little sister of the family! I want to laugh when I say it, the reason why the little girl sulks with herself is because of the clothes she chooses.

The little girl looks good in a princess dress. But you, an immature little girl, have to wear a more "young" princess dress than a mature woman in fashionable fashion? I'm ~~~he~~

When she set off from Tianjin, when the little girl saw the third aunt's dress, she was very dissatisfied with her dress, but the skirt was carefully selected by herself, and she couldn't complain about others. So the pampered little temper came up, and he sulked with himself. Plus seasickness, so I haven't had any energy since I got on the boat.

The hotel has four revolving doors, and when you enter from the revolving doors, you will be greeted by the magnificent lobby, which is definitely a modern five-star standard, with natural daylight from the octagonal stained glass ceiling, marble floors and carved oak panels on the walls. There is an elevator on the ground floor, the inner wall of the elevator is inlaid with walnut wood, amber inlaid glass ceiling, paved with mosaic floor, and the elevator sliding safety door with iron pattern is cast, showing the luxury of this era.

"Sir! Do you want to move in? When the lobby manager saw this team of unusual guests, he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Mr. Manager! You see! I have a lot of people, can you recommend me a suitable floor? ”

"No problem, sir! Please register first. ”

After registration, under the leadership of the waiter, we divided into three batches (no way, there is not much elevator space in this era. ) before coming to the floor where I stayed. We stayed on the pyramid floor of the main building, and because the spire of the main building is designed with a pyramidal structure that decreases floor by floor, the higher the floor, the fewer rooms.

We arrived on a floor with 15 large suites.

"Is this the top? Mr. Manager? I looked at the rooms on the floor and asked the manager behind me.

"No, it's not! There are also two floors of rooms that are open to the public. The top floor is not open to the public, it is Mr. Victor's private residence! ”

As soon as I heard it, I understood that the room with the observation deck on the top floor was the residence of the owner, Victor Sassoon. I have seen the introduction of this hotel in later generations, and it is true that the owner lives on the top floor of his hotel.

All right! The room on the observation deck is uninhabitable, and I want to look down on the sky, and the wish of the old Shanghai scenery is in vain.

"Are there any other guests staying in Mr. Victor's downstairs room?"

I like to be quiet. Therefore, in modern times, too, if you live in a hotel, you will live on a high-rise, because the higher the floor, the less noise will come from the street, and the quieter it will be.

"No, sir! But there are only 8 rooms on that floor. You see? ~~~”

"Oh! ~~~ That's okay! My retinue can squeeze in. I've got the room on that floor, so hurry up and arrange it! We would like to check in and rest as soon as possible! ”

"Yes sir! Wait! ”

After a flurry of tossing, I finally checked in. I lived in the largest suite with my third aunt, and the three of Xu Yating's master and servant with the little tail lived opposite me, which was also a large suite. The three little maids and two mothers lived next door to me, Mr. Yu found his own room, and the four bodyguards were arranged by me in the rooms at the elevator entrance and the safety ladder entrance respectively, so as to warn strangers from entering.

After arranging their respective rooms, I ordered food through the hotel's internal phone.

(The Sassoon Hotel was the only hotel in the world at the time to install an internal telephone and air conditioning, can you believe it?) In 1914! But it was really the only one in the world at the time. ）

When everyone finished eating, I asked the three little girls to wait for the third aunt to wash up. And I sat on the couch in the living room, carefully searching for my memories------

I remember seeing a Japanese report in my previous life, reporting that the father of Junji Kato, the chief designer of Mitsubishi Corporation's aircraft during World War II, was seriously injured in May 1914 when he was fighting for a Japanese singer in the Shanghai Public Concession, and was sent back to China for treatment.

So I thought, what if there wasn't Junji Kato's father? What will be the result? Hehe----- let's test this paradox of space-time theory today?! Hehe------ anyway, it's one less for the little devils to die!

I'm thinking about it now~~~ I can't remember exactly what the report said was on the night of that day in May 1914, but I only remember the first few days of early May, and I still remember that the sake house was a Miki Brewery in Hongkou District, a public concession. (Today is the 7th, I don't know if it's in time.) ）

"Second master! This shower is so good! You don't need to boil water! You don't wash? "When I was thinking about how to act at night, the third aunt of the beauty was wrapped around a large bath towel, wiping her wet hair as she walked, tilting her head to me and talking in admiration about the hotel's shower facilities.

"I'm going out tonight, you go to bed early!"

"Oh! ~~~ Then you come back early! I'll wait for you! ~~~”

Hehehe~~~ I laughed secretly, this little woman is tempting me!
