As soon as Lin Jiangbei recalled, he matched this familiar smell from his powerful olfactory memory: that is, Kao stone alkali produced by the Japanese Kao Company, that is, the smell of Kao soap.

At this time, Kao soap was sold at an astonishing price in China, and a piece of soap cost almost ten fiat dollars, not to mention ordinary people, even wealthy families, who were rarely willing to use it. Therefore, even in a big city like Hangzhou, it is difficult to find the shadow of Kao soap, and only in the shops opened by Japanese people in the Japanese concession can Kao soap be sold.

And the reason why Lin Jiangbei was able to contact Kao soap was because of Zhao Liping.

Once when he went to find Zhao Liping for a haircut, Zhao Liping took out a piece of Kao soap the size of a snack and a half like a treasure, saying that it was given to them when the instructor taught them to identify the soap, and she was reluctant to use it herself, but generously took it to wash Lin Jiangbei's hair.

It was that time that Lin Jiangbei's olfactory memory bank left the smell of Kao soap.

But now, why does the pillow towel smell of Kao soap? Could it be that the Jintai Hotel is bedding such as pillows and quilt covers cleaned with Kao soap?

It's impossible, not to mention the Jintai Hotel, the most exclusive hotel in Los Angeles like the Los Doo Hotel, I'm afraid I can't afford to use Kao soap to clean the bedding, right?

And on the bed, except for the pillow towel on the pillow, the sheets and quilts are covered with no Kao soap. Could it be that the Rakujindai Hotel only uses Kao soap to clean pillow towels?

Or maybe the smell of Kao soap on the pillow towel was left by the previous guest, and the Jintai Hotel has not implemented a one-guest-one-change sanitation system at this time?

Thinking in his heart, Lin Jiangbei pushed open the door and called the waiter over.

"What kind of items do we use to clean pillow towels and quilt covers?" Lin Jiangbei asked.

The waiter thought that Lin Jiangbei disliked the dirty sheets and bedding in the room, so he hurriedly replied: "Sir, please rest assured, the alkali used to clean the bedding and sheets in our hotel is produced by Wuzhou Pharmacy, and it costs more than four cents a piece!" ”

The so-called foreign alkali, which is the local name for soap in Los Angeles at this time, only has the ability to decontaminate, but has no fragrance.

"All the oceanic alkali from the five continents is used? Have you ever used Kao stone? Lin Jiangbei asked again.

"Kao Stone?" The waiter had never heard of this name, so he paused for a moment and hurriedly said: "Sir, please rest assured, our hotel is different from the small hotels outside, and we will never choose those messy pieces of inferior alkali that cost less than a dime to clean the sheets and bedding." ”

"So, how often do you change bedding such as bedding and bedding in the room?" Lin Jiangbei asked again.

The waiter looked left and right and lowered his voice, "Sir, the other rooms should be changed at least once a week." This room of yours is a room specially designed to entertain distinguished guests in our hotel, so no matter whether the guests leave or not, they will be replaced every morning. ”

"So the bedding in my room was changed this morning?"

"Yes, I changed it myself in the morning."

"There are no other guests in this room?"

"Sir, don't worry, absolutely not! This room is also reserved for the guests of the presidents of the Los Angeles campus, and even if the hotel is full, we will not sell this room. The waiter hurriedly argued.

"I see?" Lin Jiangbei muttered to himself, "This is strange! ”

"Sir, what's strange?" The waiter hurriedly asked.

"Oh, nothing." Lin Jiangbei waved his hand at the waiter, "You go back first, if there is anything, I will call you again." ”

"Okay, sir, then I won't disturb your rest!" The waiter gently closed the door and withdrew.

Lin Jiangbei walked to the side of the bed, picked up the pillow towel and sniffed it, once again affirming that he was not wrong, there was indeed a faint fragrance of Kao soap on the pillow towel.

There must have been a person who had washed his hair with Kao soap who had sneaked into this room, and had also laid down on the bed and put his head on this pillow, so he left this faint fragrance of Kao soap. And when he left again, he carefully rearranged the pillows and bedding on the bed and restored them to their original clothes, so he didn't notice anything unusual at first, knowing that he was lying on the pillow, and sniffed out the simple smell on the pillow with an extraordinary sense of smell. And judging from the time, it should be after the waiter changed the bed sheets in the morning.

Then the question arises, who is this person who sneaked in?

Lin Jiangbei combined the words Kao soap, expensive, and Japanese in his mind, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. It can't be a Japanese agent who infiltrated his room, right?

If it were a Japanese agent, all this would have been explained, I like to wash my hair with Kao soap, and I don't care about the high price of Kao soap, and I can also get in touch with the sales channels of Kao soap.

However, why did this Japanese agent sneak into this room, did he sneak in specifically to deal with him Lin Jiangbei, or was it just a coincidence?

Another question is how the Japanese agent managed to infiltrate the room. According to Zhong Yingcai's introduction, the waiters in the lobby of the Jintai Hotel are all paramilitary-trained, and it is not easy for Japanese agents to sneak in from the lobby.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangbei set his eyes on the window, which was the first floor, and the window was facing the secluded backyard. If he were a Japanese agent and wanted to sneak into this room, he would definitely choose this window.

Thinking in his heart, Lin Jiangbei came to the window, pulled out the wooden latch of the window, and put it under the electric light to carefully inspect it, and sure enough, he found some scratches on the tip of the knife on the wooden latch.

Apparently, the Japanese agent had inserted a knife or dagger into the crack in the window and slowly pulled the wooden latch open. When he left, he also closed the window and inserted the wooden latch little by little with a knife or dagger.

Lin Jiangbei pushed open the window, rolled over and jumped out, sniffing hard with his nose, trying to find the smell of Kao soap in the air. It's a pity that he didn't find anything, the north wind and sand are strong, even if there is a faint smell left in the air, it has long been blown away by the wind and sand.

Lin Jiangbei returned to the window sill, squatted down, lit a lighter, and shone towards the ground, only to see two different sets of footprints on the frosty ground. One group was the one he had just left behind, and the frost marks had just been stepped on, while the other set of footprints had re-condensed.

Looking at this group of footprints condensed with frost flowers, Lin Jiangbei's eyes couldn't help but shrink suddenly.

He was all too familiar with this set of footprints, and he had seen them under the low walls of the Lodo Hotel a few hours ago, and they were left behind by the worker bee Hosaka Umemura, who was in charge of assassination missions by the Akao spy team.

Lin Jiangbei didn't care to guess how Baosaka Meicun was an unpredictable prophet, knowing that he would definitely stay in the room of the Jintai Hotel. He rolled over and jumped back into the room, where he began to search nervously.

Lin Jiangbei resolutely didn't believe that Hosaka Meicun, as a worker bee of the Chiwei spy team, sneaked into his room and just lay down and left, in Lin Jiangbei's opinion, Hosaka Meicun must have done some insidious and vicious things against him, but he didn't find out for the time being.

Lin Jiangbei opened the wardrobe first, there was nothing in the wardrobe!

Lin Jiangbei opened the drawer again, and there was nothing in the drawer!

Well, the only thing that might be hidden is under the bed!

Lin Jiangbei lay on the floor and cautiously looked under the bed, only to see a square suitcase placed under the bed.

Lin Jiangbei's eyes shrank again, and sure enough, he guessed that Hosaka Umemura really left him a "gift" in the room! ”。

Lin Jiangbei didn't dare to touch the suitcase rashly, so he opened the door again and called the manager of the hotel over.

"Someone put something under the bed in my room." Lin Jiangbei said to the manager of the hotel with a serious face, "It may be a bomb, or it may be poison gas." You immediately evacuate all the passengers in the hotel, report to Camp Commander Zhong, and ask him to find a few gas masks! ”

After all, the manager of the hotel had paramilitary training, and although his face was a little pale after listening to Lin Jiangbei's words, he was basically able to maintain his composure. While sending someone to report to Zhong Yingcai, he commanded the waiters to call all the guests in the hotel and tell them to leave the hotel immediately.

The guests in the hotel were shouted from the warm quilt in the middle of the night, and they were naturally full of resentment. But when they heard that there might be a bomb or gas bomb in the hotel, they immediately shut their mouths and fled the hotel as fast as they could.

Ten minutes later, the huge Jintai Hotel was empty, except for Lin Jiangbei and the hotel manager, including the waiters, they were also evacuated outside.

Soon, Zhong Yingcai took a gas mask and rushed over with several bomb experts from the service battalion.

"What's going on?" He asked Lin Jiangbei Dao.

"Umemura Hosaka, the killer of the Akao spy team, sneaked into my room in advance and left a suitcase under the bed, which I suspected was a bomb or gas bomb, so I asked the manager to evacuate all the guests." Lin Jiangbei said.

"Hosaka Umemura?" Zhong Yingcai frowned, "How would he know that you live here?" ”

"The specific situation is still unclear," Lin Jiangbei said, "and the most urgent issue at the moment is to dispose of the suitcases left behind in Baosaka Plum Village first." ”

Zhong Yingcai nodded and said, "I brought two demolition experts from the service battalion over, and the suitcase will be handed over to them to deal with!" ”

"Let me take care of it!" Lin Jiangbei shook his head and said, "I have received professional training in handling explosives and poison gas bombs in both the Zhejiang Police and the Hangzhou Training Class, so I should be more experienced than the experts under you. ”

Seeing that Zhong Yingcai was still trying to dissuade him, Lin Jiangbei stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Brother Yingcai, time is life now, the longer you delay, the greater the probability of an accident." Trust me in my professionalism and let me take care of it! ”

As he spoke, he snatched the poisonous mask in Zhong Yingcai's hand, and said to Zhong Yingcai's subordinates: "Please move the bed, be gentle and careful, and don't touch the suitcase!" ”
