Chapter 0013: Guanhu Tower
"Here?" Liu Tianfang raised his head and looked at the wall of the house.
"President Liu, do you know this courtyard?" Lin Jiangbei keenly caught a hint of surprise in Liu Tianfang's expression.
Liu Tianfang nodded and replied, "Chief Lin, this courtyard is called Guanhulou Song Field, and it also happens to belong to the fire prevention area that our Yongjin Jilong Association is responsible for. ”
Guanhulou Song Field?
Lin Jiangbei's eyebrows couldn't help frowning.
The so-called song field is a special entertainment place in Hangzhou during the Republic of China. The architectural style is similar to that of the teahouse, except that the building area inside is a little larger than that of the teahouse, with a small stage in the middle and tea tables around it.
The song field usually has a group of young and beautiful singers, and the repertoire sung is mainly based on royal songs. Guests can sing by name among the singers, and singers can also ask for an order from a familiar guest.
After the singer has sung on the small stage, she will go to the table of the guest who is singing to toast tea and sit with her for a while, and whether she can take the singer out after the song is open depends on the personal charm of the guest or the size of the wallet. If the singer does not agree, the guest cannot force it.
Therefore, all those who can open a song field in Hangzhou have a considerable background and influence, and often the greater the fame of the song field, the greater the background and power of the song field.
As far as Lin Jiangbei knows, the Guanhulou Song Field is precisely the most famous of all the song venues in Hangzhou, which means that the force behind the Guanhulou Song Field is at least the largest among all the song venues in Hangzhou.
Turning his head to see the four policemen behind him bowing their heads and whispering, Lin Jiangbei asked out loud, "Have you ever been to Guanhu Tower?" ”
"Chief Lin, you think too highly of us!" A policeman hurriedly said, "It costs at least more than 20 yuan to set up a table of tea in Guanhu Tower, which is almost equivalent to our brother's monthly salary, not counting the singer's song ordering fee and tips for tea heads and running halls." So even if we borrowed a few of our guts, we didn't dare to come to a place like Guanhu Tower! ”
"And what are you muttering?" Lin Jiangbei asked again.
"We're muttering about the boss behind the Lake Tower." The policeman said.
"Do you know who the boss behind the Guanhu Tower is?" Lin Jiangbei asked in surprise.
"Not only the boss behind the Guanhulou Song Field, but also the boss behind the famous place in Hangzhou, all the police in our service department must know." The policeman hurriedly replied.
The Service Department, whose full name is the Service Police Department, is subordinate to the Third Section of the Provincial Capital Police Department and is in charge of service, investigation, communication and training. Among them, "communication" refers to the coordination of the relationship between the police department and various forces. In particular, some powerful units and individuals, who are unwilling to deal with grassroots police organizations because of their own status, will directly communicate with the service office of the provincial capital police station, specifying that a certain place or organization is run by themselves or their own unit, and then the service office will come forward to greet the sub-bureaus, sub-stations, and police stations below, telling them that a certain place or organization is run by important people and must not be easily disturbed. When necessary, the Service also deploys police to deal with conflicts between grass-roots police organizations and these sites and institutions.
"Then tell me, who is the boss behind the curtain of the Guanhulou Song Field?" Lin Jiangbei said.
"Wang Baoping, a silk merchant from Huzhou." The policeman replied.
"Wang Baoping?" Lin Jiangbei shook his head, not remembering who this Wang Baoping was, a silk merchant actually had the ability to make the Guanhulou Song Field rank first among all the song venues in Hangzhou.
The policeman knew what Lin Jiangbei thought, and hurriedly added: "Wang Baoping himself doesn't have anything, but his brother is Xu Jingshan Xu Section Chief in the Hangcheng Special Service Office of the Party Affairs Office. The policeman replied.
"Xu Jingshan from the secret office of the Party Affairs Office?" Lin Jiangbei's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle tightly.
The Party Affairs Office, whose full name is the Party Affairs Investigation Department of the Central Organization Committee of the Kuomintang, is controlled by the CC bigwigs and is the main competitor of the Intelligence Department within the Party. When the instructor of the Hangzhou training class gave lessons to Lin Jiangbei and other students, he repeatedly stressed that the students should beware of the personnel of the party affairs office. Lin Jiangbei didn't expect that Hou Changbin would now run into the Guanhulou Song Field under the name of Xu Jingshan, the chief of the Special Office of the Hangcheng Party Affairs Office.
This must be done with caution!
Lin Jiangbei groaned for a while, turned around and came to the wall, went up hard, grabbed the wall with both hands and borrowed the strength up, and the whole person had already landed on the wall like a raccoon cat, without making a sound.
The four policemen looked at each other, and their eyes were full of convincing. As elite police officers in the service department, it is not difficult for them to climb this wall, but to do it cleanly like Lin Jiangbei without making a single sound, it is not something they can do!
Liu Tian put it aside and smacked his tongue secretly. Chief Lin's hard work, even the best firefighters under him can't catch up!
Lin Jiangbei fell on the wall, his nostrils were dilated in the direction of the courtyard, and sure enough, the smell of Hou Changbin's strong sweat wafted in the direction of the courtyard. He looked down again at the gap in the wall, and saw that there was a new mark of damage on a green brick at the gap, apparently just stepped on by someone.
As soon as he turned over, the whole person floated lightly from the wall to the ground, still without a sound.
"Hou Changbin did hide in this courtyard." Lin Jiangbei chose two policemen, "You two stay here to prevent Hou Changbin from escaping from here over the wall." ”
Then he said to the other two policemen, "You two and I will go through the gate with Chairman Liu and go in and search." ”
The two policemen glanced at each other and said in embarrassment, "Chief Lin, do you want to ask the director for instructions first?" ”
"It's too late, what if Hou Changbin escapes in the process of asking the director for instructions? Hurry up with power," Lin Jiangbei waved his hand and said, "Any problems that occur in the middle will be borne by me personally, and you will definitely not be implicated!" ”
With all that said, the two policemen naturally couldn't say anything, so they had to follow Lin Jiangbei and Liu Tianfang to the gate of Guanhu Tower.
After a bend from the lotus pond and a narrow path, you will come to the gate of the Guanhulou Song Field on Nanshan Road.
It is worthy of being the first song field in Hangzhou, and the decoration of Guanhulou is magnificent, even from the perspective of Lin Jiangbei, a traverser, the decoration of Guanhulou can be regarded as a grade.
At this time, it was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon, and before the official opening time of the song field, there was only a doorman in his early twenties wearing a foreign dress guarding the door of Guanhu Tower. Seeing that Lin Jiangbei was going to the gate with Liu Tianfang and two policemen, the doorman hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "A few officials, Guanhulou will only start to open for business at half past five, and I also ask a few officials to rest outside for a while, and come back to listen to the song at half past five." ”
"We're not here to listen to the song," Lin Jiangbei waved his hand, "We're here to search for fugitives!" ”
"Searching for fugitives?" The doorman's face couldn't help but change, "This official, do you know where we are in Guanhu Tower?" ”
