Chapter 59: Tied up

When Zhou Lin returned to the hotel, Xiangjun was already waiting for him and conveyed the instructions of his superiors to him.

"Organizationally, let you be careful, Xiaolin is a double-edged sword."

Zhou Lin knew that Kobayashi was brainwashed much more by Japanese militarism than Yoshikawa, and he still needed to work hard to make Kobayashi use himself, but he was willing to work hard.

At 9 o'clock on July 27, the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan had a sunny weather and a refreshing breeze.

The Yellow Crane Tower is on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Wuchang, Wuhan, Hubei Province, and according to legend, it was also built in the Three Kingdoms, and the reputation of the Tang Dynasty began to flourish, which is mainly due to the poet Cui Hao's poem "The people of the past have taken the Yellow Crane to go, and the Yellow Crane Tower is vacant here".

The Yellow Crane Tower is built on the city platform, and the green trees under the stage are shady, and the smoke and waves are vast in the distance.

The central main building has two floors, the plane is square, the lower floor stretches out from the left and right, and the front and rear corridor houses are connected with the annex building. The whole roof is scattered, the wing corners are craggy, and the momentum is magnificent.

After the Song Dynasty, the Yellow Crane Tower was repeatedly destroyed and built, and was rebuilt in the seventh year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1868), but it only existed for more than ten years.

Now only leave the photos of the building appearance at that time, it is no longer the Song painting to build a number of buildings on the high platform, but take the centralized plane, standing high on the city wall, the plane is a corner cross, the appearance is three floors high, and the interior is actually nine floors.

The lower and middle eaves have 12 high raised corners, with a total height of 32 meters.

The Yellow Crane Tower is located at the top of the Snake Mountain at an altitude of 61.7 meters, and is designed based on the "Tongzhi Tower" of the Qing Dynasty.

The building is 5 floors high, with a total height of 51.4 meters and a construction area of 3,219 square meters.

Seventy-two columns rise from the ground, majestic and steady.

60 warped angles stretch in the air, just like a yellow crane taking off.

The roof of the building is covered with more than 100,000 yellow glazed tiles.

Against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds, the Yellow Crane Tower is colorful and majestic.

At this time, a girl in her twenties came over, and she walked directly to Xiangjun: "Do you want to hear the story of the Yellow Crane Tower?" ”

"What are the conditions?" Zhou Lin knew at a glance that it was someone like a docent.

"An ocean, to tell you a wonderful story." The girl glanced at Zhou Lin.

"Where is the convenient place?" Xiangjun asked the girl.

The girl smiled and said, "A big ocean, I will tell you a story about the Yellow Crane Tower, and I will take you to the toilet once." Spend it, right? ”

Xiangjun took out a piece of ocean and handed it to the girl: "Take me quickly." ”

Zhou Lin smiled and watched Xiangjun and the girl leave, because Xiangjun hinted to him just now that it was someone from the underground party who came to inform him.

When Xiangjun and the girl returned to the Yellow Crane Tower again, the girl finally told the ancient story that had been handed down with affection.

A long time ago, when the Yellow Crane Tower had not yet stood on the top of the winding Snake Mountain, a kind local opened a small hotel at the foot of the mountain to wash the dust for the guests from the north and south, and eliminate the fatigue of the journey, and people affectionately called him Boss Xin.

On a cold spring day, an unusual customer suddenly came to the small shop - an old man with thin and ragged clothes.

Lao Dao's eyes were blank, his eyes were glazed, and his movements were slow, he asked for a bowl of wine, and his hands trembled and he took it and dried it, and then called for a second and third bowl in a slurred voice...... Boss Xin ran back and forth, and served until Lao Dao stumbled out of the hotel, and then he suddenly remembered that the old man had not paid for the wine.

The next day, Lao Dao came to the small hotel at the same time, sat at the same table and drank the same pound of wine, and finally left without paying for the wine.

In this way, the old way came and went day by day, and most of the year passed in the blink of an eye.

Boss Xin's parents died early, and he has always regretted that he could not fulfill his filial piety under his parents' knees, so he respected this old man with many wrinkles on his air-dried face as his elder, and never asked him for a wine bill.

One day, the old Taoist Fengzhong walked into the hotel with a piece of orange peel, drew a yellow crane staring at the simple wall, and sang a verse: "When the drinker claps his hands, the crane flies down", and then floated away.

The puzzled drinkers tried to clap their hands with Boss Xin, humming a tune gently, and sure enough, they found that the yellow crane on the wall stretched out its elegant long legs, flapped its beautiful wings out of the painting, and danced in the air, and everyone was stunned.

Since such a strange thing happened, everyone wanted to come to the hotel to see the yellow crane dancing and taste the taste of fairy wine, and the yellow crane was crowded with people all day long.

The money earned by the Xin family came like a tide, and he simply became a living god of wealth who ascended to the sky in one step.

As time went by, Xin became more and more greedy, no longer taking the poor in his heart, and even forgetting the old ways.

Who knows, one day Lao Dao suddenly returned.

When Xin saw Lao Dao, he never mentioned the benefits that Huang He and Sakai brought her, and asked Lao Dao to conjure up some good things for her.

Lao Dao pondered for a moment, took out a flute, and called down the yellow crane on the wall with the sound of the flute and said, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go."

The yellow crane spread its wings, carried the old way, and flew to the distant horizon.

The yellow crane flew away, and the sake in the sakai was reduced to water.

Xin regretted it and was determined to change his past, so he used all his family property to build a high-rise building at the head of the Yellow Crane for visitors to climb and watch, and also to commemorate the old road and the Yellow Crane. This building is the famous Yellow Crane Tower.

When he climbed the stairs, Xiangjun deliberately said that he would take Zhou Lin to a corner.

"Lao Li informs you, someone is eyeing you! Let you be careful. Xiangjun said worriedly.

"Do you know what kind of person it is?" Zhou Lin lit a cigarette.

"I think it's Japanese." Xiangjun asked softly, "Didn't you send it from the Japanese?" Why are they still staring at you? It's getting more and more complicated. ”

"I don't know why, but it seems that there is something we don't know about."

"The organization said, let you rest assured that someone will follow you and will come to the rescue whenever there is a situation." Xiangjun hugged Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin put his head on Xiangjun's shoulder and said, "Be careful that this is the enemy's trap, tell the organization, don't come forward to save me, I will deal with it." ”

Xiangjun looked at Zhou Lin worriedly and did not speak.

"I want to believe your husband! I am God's favorite. Zhou Lin said in a very soft voice: "If something happens to me, you can notify Lao Yang by this number, don't say anything else, just say that I was kidnapped." Someone will come forward. ”

Then, Zhou Lin said a phone number three times.

After Xiangjun memorized the number, the two returned to Xiaolin's group.

After Zhou Lin and his entourage turned around for half an hour, they were ready to go back to the Hankou Hotel.

But after Zhou Lin went to the toilet for half an hour and didn't come back, everyone panicked.

Xiao Lin hurriedly rushed into the toilet, and searched all over the toilet but there was no one. Xiao Lin found the code agreed between Zhou Lin and Xiao Lin on one of the walls of the toilet.

After Xiao Lin came out, he looked around, and then took a few people out of the Yellow Crane Tower.

Xiangjun asked Xiaolin cryingly, "What's wrong with my husband?" ”

Kobayashi replied, "He's been kidnapped!" ”

"How do you know?" Xiangjun's eyes widened.

"I found his secret mark in the toilet." Kobayashi explained.

"Then hurry up and save him! The kidnappers are nothing more than asking for money, and I give money. Xiangjun was so anxious that she cried loudly, she was really worried about Zhou Lin's safety.

"Do you have Miss Kong's phone? Please call her immediately. Kobayashi came up with a great idea.

Xiangjun and his party came to a phone booth, and Xiangjun went in to make a call.

"Hey! This is the office phone number of Kong Ergongzi. "The phone went through.

"I'm Xiangxiang from Mingzhu, I have something urgent, please find Kong Er Gongzi to answer the phone." Xiangjun's crying voice made the other party feel that something was wrong.

"Miss Xiangxiang, what's wrong?" Miss Kong Er answered the phone.

"Second son, my husband was kidnapped." Xiangjun cried.

"What? Where are you? I'll call someone right away! After hearing the current address that Xiangjun said, the other end of the phone put down the phone.

Fifteen minutes later, the director of the city bureau came, not the original one, the director was transferred to Chongqing to become the chief of police.

After another fifteen minutes, Miss Kong Er came, followed by the housekeeper of the Kong family.

A large number of police surrounded the Yellow Crane Tower, carefully searching.

In the end, the police found the secret note, and Kobayashi immediately said that it was a secret note that the boss had made an appointment with him in advance, indicating that the boss had been kidnapped.

The police investigated all the people and obtained several documents.

An hour ago, three people were seen helping a sick man out of the Yellow Crane Tower, and the sick man looked the same as Mr. Lin.

Once on the side of the road, the three men pushed the sick man into a car on the side of the road. Then drive away.

Eventually, several eyewitnesses spelled out the number plate of the car.

The police chief immediately ordered the city to search for the car.

After another hour, the ferry came with the news that the car had gone to Hankow.

So the group rushed to Hankou again, and the police went to find out the news.

Xiangjun was persuaded to go back to the Hankou Hotel, because if it was a kidnapper, he would definitely call for ransom, so it was better to wait at the hotel.

Kobayashi didn't care about being exposed, so he took the time to go to Miko's and asked Miko to report to Yamada.

After Yamada received the telegram, he was also stunned! Kidnapped?

Did the Chinese discover something and secretly arrest Zhou Lin, or did other forces intervene?

Yamada discovers that this is not simple, and it is not just a kidnapping case.

Yamada immediately called Ozaki and informed Ozaki of the situation.

Half an hour later, Ozaki asked Yamada to go to the headquarters of the Japanese forces in China.

It is said that Zhou Lin felt surrounded in the toilet, so he left a mark on the wall of the toilet to notify Xiangjun and others.

When Zhou Lin washed his hands, a towel stretched out from behind him, covering his nose and mouth, and soon, Zhou Lin was stunned.

When he woke up, he found himself lying on the cold ground.

In terms of air circulation and sound insulation, this is a basement.

Zhou Lin stood up and went to pull the door, but found that the door was locked.

So, Zhou Lin shouted loudly: "Does anyone have any?" Let Lao Tzu out. ”

No one paid attention to him, so Zhou Lin scolded and scolded the other party's ancestors and grandchildren.

Still no one paid attention, so Zhou Lin kicked the door hard with his foot.

After more than half an hour, Zhou Lin knew that no one was paying attention to him, so he leaned against the corner and sat down.

As soon as he touched his pocket, everything was still there, so he took out his cigarette and smoked it.

Because Zhou Lin knew in advance that the other party was Japanese, he didn't worry too much. The Japanese will not ask tens of thousands of dollars to tie themselves up.

After a while, when Zhou Lin was leaning against the corner and about to fall asleep, the door opened, and two people rushed in, one holding a hand of Zhou Lin, and tied Zhou Lin and walked out of the door.

"Who are you? How dare you tie me up? You must know that I have a lot of relationships in Wuhan, both black and white, so that you will not be able to eat and walk around. Zhou Lin struggled and threatened.

No one paid attention to him, the strength of those two people was too great, and Zhou Lin was in pain.

After walking more than a dozen steps, Zhou Lin was caught in a room.

At first glance, it was known that it was an interrogation room, and the torture equipment inside was complete, and it was dark red on it, which was human blood left on the torture equipment.

Behind a desk in the interrogation room sat a colonel in the uniform of the national army.

Zhou Lin was pressed to a chair and sat down, he stared at the colonel and asked, "Who are they?" Don't you know my relationship with Miss Kong Er? Dare to arrest me? ”

"We are the people of the military commander!" The colonel replied.

"Someone from the Military Administration? Are you eating too much? There's nowhere to eat, so get me to play? Zhou Lin took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it and smoked it.

"We have ample evidence that you are a Japanese spy. So don't have any illusions and be honest about the problem. Once you've explained the problem, you're ready to go. ”

When Zhou Lin heard the other party's words, he couldn't help laughing, pointed to several people in the interrogation room and said, "If I am a Japanese spy, everyone in the world is a Japanese spy." You are also a dog Japanese agent, and he is also a Japanese dog agent. ”

"Bastard!" An interrogator shouted.

Zhou Lin was not afraid, and continued: "You are a bastard. Don't think that Lao Tzu is a gentleman and is easy to fool, what kind of military colonel? The Colonel of the Military Commander has your level of interrogation, is it true that the Colonel of the Military Commander dares to arrest me, he is not afraid that Miss Kong Er will ask Dai Li to kill him? ”

The colonel smiled: "Miss Kong Er, who are you, she will stand up for you?" ”

Zhou Lin said proudly: "Lao Tzu saved her, is it enough?" Believe it or not, you are now surrounded. ”

"Joke! How do they know about our whereabouts? An interrogator said.

"I'll tell you the truth, I once had an agreement with my housekeeper that if I encountered a kidnapping, I would leave a code." Zhou Lin shook Erlang's legs.

"Did you leave a secret note in the toilet?" The colonel panicked.

"Stay! I guess if I don't come out of the toilet for fifteen minutes, they will look for me. And my wife will call Miss Kong Er. Your car will also be locked. It's only an hour to find you. I've been in the darkroom for almost an hour, and I guess they're already on their way here. ”

The two interrogators looked at the colonel: "What shall we do?" ”

"Transfer immediately, take him away!" The colonel said immediately.

Zhou Lin smiled and said, "Don't think about how to escape, they won't let you escape from this house." ”

"Then I'll kill you first!" The colonel said viciously.

"You kill me? Do you dare? Kill me, and your family in Tokyo will go to your funeral as well. Zhou Lin immediately shot back.

Several people froze: "Why do you say that?" What is East and West? ”

Zhou Lin lit a cigarette: "My hearing is very good, and when you entered the basement, I unfortunately heard the Japanese spoken by a few of you." It's the standard Tokyo accent, and outsiders can't tell the same flavor. Know where I grew up, Tokyo! So you can't hide it from me. Tell me honestly, who are you, I'll find a way to save you. ”
