Chen Gongpeng and Qi Nanpu sat in the car, driven by Mr. Dai's driver, and walked around several circles on the only few roads in the "Dongjiaomin Lane".

Chen Gongpeng was worried that once there was a movement, such as gunshots or something, when the time came, would the wooden fences at several entrances and exits suddenly close and block the way? Thinking about it again, what is there to worry about, like this kind of wooden grille that only has a form, with Chen Gongpeng's car, it can be smashed to pieces as soon as you step on the accelerator, where can it be stopped.

It's a test run! It is also a preliminary survey of topographic features.

Chen Gongpeng and the others returned to Beichang Street, and saw Mao Renfeng's car parked under the big tree from a distance. It turned out that Mao Renfeng was already waiting for Chen Gongpeng and a few people, so there must be something important.

Mao Renfeng told Chen Gongpeng and the others, according to the news, it was pointed out: "Sakanishi Rihachiro does live in the Six Nations Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane. He instructed Chen Gongpeng and the others to immediately inform Wang Sanming, and hoped that Chen Gongpeng and the others would do their best to complete the task.

At this moment, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not appropriate to call Wang Sanming; Chen Gongpeng went to the Liuguo Hotel to find him and conveyed it to his face, which was afraid of attracting attention. Chen Gongpeng and the others originally agreed to meet at six o'clock in the afternoon, but fortunately, it was only a little more than an hour, so it was better to wait for him.

Chen Gongpeng and Qi Nanpu took advantage of this time, and the two of them made some plans. As for the deadline, there are still six days, and now that the location of Sakanishi Rihachiro has been determined, and the general direction has finally been grasped, it seems that the time is not urgent: the first thing to do is to find out the room where Sakanishi Rihachiro lives, and the sooner the better, so as not to have too many dreams at night; Before taking action, it is important not to startle the snake: once the traces of Rihachiro Sakanishi are discovered, other related problems can be solved step by step. Chen Gongpeng and the others talked for a long time, and there was only one sentence at the end, that is, to find the "target" as soon as possible.

At 5:50, Bai Shiwei called and said that he and Wang Sanming were waiting for Chen Gongpeng to have dinner together in Wufangzhai in Dong'an Market, and Chen Gongpeng promised to come with Qi Nanpu.

Wang Sanming and Bai Shiwei's expressions were solemn, and they couldn't even speak, no need to ask, no progress.

Chen Gongpeng retold the words of Mr. Mao Renfeng who had just gone to Beichang Street to inform him word for word.

Subsequently, Chen Gongpeng expressed Chen Gongpeng's personal opinion in an accentuated tone and said: "I think the news conveyed by Mr. Mao must be reliable, and the old boy we want must be in the Liuguo Hotel." ”

Qi Nanpu then said the words that were taken for granted by Chen Gongpeng and the others. Wang Sanming and Bai Shiwei, don't wait for Chen Gongpeng and a few people to say, they will also think about it.

After a meal, it was used hastily, and the words that should be said were almost done, and looking at the faces of Wang Sanming and Bai Shiwei, they had already turned cheerful.

Chen Gongpeng and the others reassigned their respective tasks, focusing on the reconnaissance activities after Wang Sanming and the others returned to the hotel.

They soon agreed that No. 18 North Chang Street would still be the contact center, and Chen Gongpeng would stay all the time and look forward to good news.

Qi Nanpu's reconnaissance arrangements outside the Six Nations Hotel were all revoked. The spare car is controlled by Qi Nanpu, and he maintains close contact with Chen Gongpeng at any time.

After Chen Gongpeng and the others broke up, Chen Gongpeng made a phone call and briefly reported Mao Renfeng.

On the first day of the deadline, he tossed for twenty-four hours without any results, and on the second day, he knew that Rihachiro Sakanishi must be staying in the Rokukoku Hotel, but he still had no trace of him.

It seems to be an easy thing, but you will experience that it is not simple to do it, otherwise Chen Gongpeng and the others are too stupid.

Chen Gongpeng is worried alone, if the deadline expires, he can't even touch his shadow, then it will be embarrassing. …,

Mao Renfeng was quite calm, he didn't even have a tone of urging, and he only said the things he explained to Chen Gongpeng and the others. Whether or not he was in such a state of mind is hard to guess.

Dai Li replied to Mao Renfeng, and did not directly send a telegram to Chen Gongpeng and others, of course, this was to maintain the integrity of the command system.

At noon on the third day, when Chen Gongpeng and Wang Sanming met, they still looked at each other, and it was still difficult to enter the good place.

Wang Sanming enlightened Chen Gongpeng and a few people and said: "This kind of thing has to be anxious, but you can't bring it out, if you still can't make some eyebrows, I also want to take the risk of startling the snake and go to the counter to check and inquire again, but maybe it's not good if it's self-defeating!" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Sanming suddenly remembered that when he went upstairs yesterday, he once saw the back of a person, this person was very similar to Takao Sekiguchi, a subordinate of Rihachiro Sakanishi mentioned in the previous intelligence, but he went up in the blink of an eye, and he didn't see it clearly, so it wasn't sure if it was him.

Chen Gongpeng pondered in his heart, since Wang Sanming's room was on the second floor, the so-called "going up" saw that person, then it was either the third floor or the fourth floor. If it is really Rihachiro Sakanishi's subordinate chief, then Rihachiro Sakanishi does not live on the third floor, but on the fourth floor.

Isn't that a valuable find? Bai Shiwei also told Chen Gongpeng that he was accompanying Wang Sanming in and out as Wang Sanming's "entourage", that is, "follower". When Wang Sanming was alone in the house to make up his mind, he took the opportunity to find a teahouse to talk nonsense, but he didn't come up with a reason.

Bai Shiwei said again: "Brother Sanming instructed Chen Gongpeng to pay special attention to the person who looks like Guixiong at the pass, and I have been staring at the stairs, looking up and down, but I haven't seen a person like the one depicted by Brother Sanming. ”

Chen Gongpeng believes that this is all a harvest, and although the target has not yet been discovered, it cannot be regarded as no entry.

Wang Sanming was going home for a trip, planning to change his clothes and shave. He asked Bai Shiwei to find a place to rest and wait for him to come back and go to the Six Nations Hotel together. He also told Chen Gongpeng and the others to study more well.

Wang Sanming went home, Bai Shiwei wanted to take a nap to recuperate, but not to mention that he couldn't sleep, he couldn't even bare his eyes, so he simply sat up and chatted, so Chen Gongpeng and the others talked about the "Six Nations Hotel" again.

The "Six Nations Hotel" is not famous in Beijing, but the scale is not small, it is just a four-story old building. In terms of equipment, it is far less affordable than the "Beijing Hotel", and it is not as good as the "Chalk Yang Hotel" or "Chang'an Chun Hotel" because it is the only one in the "Dongjiaomin Lane", so it seems rare, especially for those Chinese with ulterior motives.

"Liuguo Hotel" sits in the east and faces west, the gate faces the street, and the entrance and exit have to go up and down more than ten stone steps to give people a deep impression, or the revolving door that turns around.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a spacious hall, and the floor is covered with a scarlet wool carpet.

A long counter with a bookkeeper who is in charge of cars......

The Rokkoku Hotel does not have an elevator, perhaps because it has only four floors.

But the staircase was wide enough for four people to go up and down side by side. The width of the passage on the second floor, which is about the same as the staircase, is carpeted, and if you don't jump, you can't hear the sound of walking.

The shape of the second floor resembles a vulture, that is, there are rooms on only three sides, and there is only a passage near the side of the staircase. On the passage, there is a small counter, which is the center point of the tea room on duty and waiting for the call of the guests.

Wang Sanming's room was in the corner of the second floor, fifty or sixty steps away from the stairs, at the end of the corridor on the right. Walking further in, there is a row of horizontal rooms, and when you turn around, you will see the corridor on the left, so it is said to be in the shape of a vulture. …,

This room is not big, the bed is not small, the cushion sheets spread on the bed, thin and thick have several layers, Bai Shiwei said to Chen Gongpeng: "That chalk gun, it is inconvenient to go out and go in and out of the body, sometimes it is stuffed under the pillow, Brother Sanming also knows that if there is any temporary opportunity, two people can use it." ”

Bai Shiwei is a caring person, he listened to the teahouse say: "There is also a fire prevention ladder in the back, which has not been used for many years, and now it is full of dilapidated things. ”

In this case, the peaceladder that may be used as a way out is no longer valid and does not need to be taken into account.

The layout of the third floor is similar to that of the second floor. It is said that only half of the rooms on the fourth floor can be rented by guests on the second and third floors, and those half are for long-term guests, and there are differences in equipment, studios, and rents. Shiwei wanted to go up and have a look several times, but he couldn't find an excuse to justify his words without arousing suspicion.

Speaking of which, Wang Sanming is back, and he and Bai Shiwei go to the Liuguo Hotel again, and they always have to find some clues.

Time passed quickly, and seeing that the deadline was getting closer and closer, in addition to being anxious, it was as if something had been lost. Unexpectedly, on the fourth day, the peaks and roads turned, and the dawn appeared!

It turned out that at noon, Wang Sanming and Bai Shiwei were going downstairs, preparing to eat, and just when they were about to push the door, an acquaintance came out of the door, and he was carrying a small blue cloth bag under his arm.

Wang Sanming asked the shopkeeper, "Why did you come here?" ”

The shopkeeper inadvertently put his hand on the right side of his chin, and said with a flat gesture: "He made two sets of clothes and asked me to try them out today, so I probably got up at this time, right?" ”

Wang Sanming was already fully aware of the actions and words of the shopkeeper Ying, so he motioned to Bai Shiwei to push the door and go out without asking too much, and at the same time said hello to the shopkeeper Ying.

They didn't go to eat, so they hurried to Beichang Street and told Chen Gongpeng what had just happened.

Wang Sanming explained:

"Judging from the description of the shopkeeper, it is Rihachiro Sakanishi, who was in the restaurant just now, so it is inconvenient to ask more, now we will go to eat something and something, and after eating, the shopkeeper should also go back, we will go to him again, ask carefully to see if it is the target Rihachiro Sakanishi we are looking for!". ）
