Chapter 20 Beiping
Straw, a German, opened a Western medicine clinic in Beiping, mainly for Europeans living in Beiping. On the surface, he was a well-mannered doctor, helpful, and very friendly with the Europeans living in Beiping. In fact, he is a secret agent of the CIA stationed in China, because he is a mixed-race American, and his father is an American.
Straw looked around at the room he was in at the moment, this was an authentic old northern civilian residence, with an earthen kang, a square table, a large water tank, and even an old cat dozing off on the earthen kang. The forehead was still very painful, Straw couldn't help but touch his forehead, fortunately it had been bandaged, it should have been slammed, and I don't know if there will be any sequelae.
Two nights ago, when he was returning to the clinic, he was put in a sack from behind, and when he struggled desperately, he was struck on the forehead with a stick or something, and then he fainted. When was he brought to the room he is in now? Who bandaged his wounds? I don't know anything about this.
Just as Straw was lying on the clay kang and thinking nonsense, the dilapidated door suddenly rang, Straw quickly closed his eyes, carefully exposed a slit, and secretly looked towards the door. But to his disappointment, no one came in at all, except for an old man's withered hand that came in from under the curtain, leaving a bamboo basket on the ground, and then closing the door again, and the sound of locking.
I moved my hands and feet, and there seemed to be nothing uncomfortable. Straw quietly got off the kang and listened to the movement, stood on tiptoe and stepped behind the broken door, and put his eyes on the crack of the door to look out. It was a courtyard house, and there was just one osmanthus tree in the yard, which happened to be one of the Chinese trees that Straw knew.
Straw sighed and left the broken door, from which he could only see the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and nothing else was visible. "Ah, it's so fragrant" lifted the cover cloth covering the bamboo basket, which contained a large bowl of braised boiled platter, as well as a few fire dishes with meat and a pot of herbal tea.
Regardless of whether his hands were dirty or not, Straw squatted on the ground, gobbled it up, and in a short time swept the food in the basket clean. Holding up the pot of herbal tea and facing it directly at the spout, Straw poured half a pot in one go. "Ah, it's so comfortable, it feels so good to be full" Lying on the clay kang, Straw, who was full of food and drink, rubbed his stomach contentedly, and from time to time had to burp two full, really happy like a pig.
Grabbing a thin branch from the kang mat, Straw crossed his legs and picked his teeth, looking relaxed, but he was actually thinking in his mind why he had been brought here. Wealth? It shouldn't be, if it's for the sake of robbing the kidnapping ticket, I shouldn't be facing myself as a foreigner. But if it's not for money, then for what? He is just a doctor on the surface, so does the person who kidnapped him have any other purpose?
While Dr. Straw was still puzzled in the house, the dusty Zhao Zhi had just arrived in Beiping. The main purpose of Zhao Zhi's trip to Peking was to find him, not only to find him, but also to send him safely to Yucheng, from which he would leave China by plane.
Why do you have to find this Straw, Zhao Zhi is not interested at all, what he is interested in is Hunter's second order, Straw must be guaranteed to live, if he can't be guaranteed to live, then kill Straw, and he can't be allowed to fall into the hands of any force other than Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi didn't know why this Straw made Hunter so serious, looking at the information that showed that the disguised identity of this German-American agent was a doctor. What can a doctor who lingers in Sijiu City do every day? Or what kind of secrets he has access to that would make Hunter turn to himself, and he was still so anxious.
At this time, Zhao Zhi was dressed in Western-style clothes, a three-breasted black suit with small lapels at the waist, and the pure cowhide black leather shoes ordered in Shanghai under his feet, the oily water slippery with a hair wax comb on his small open head in Shanghai, and a ruby ring on the middle finger of his fair left hand, and a sapphire ring on the index finger of his right hand. At a glance, Zhao Zhi is a rich kid with oily hair and noodles, and he is the kind of rich person in the family.
As the saying goes, the so-called "black under the lamp", Zhao Zhi just wants to give people an image of a rich child who is lazy and lazy, so that even if something happens, others will not be associated with such a rich child. For his own outfit, Zhao Zhi ran several places in Shanghai, adding steel plates to the cowhide shoes, and putting a steel plate on the toe and heel.
The belt on Zhao Zhi's waist is also sandwiched, and 200 US dollars are stuffed in it, which Zhao Zhi prepared just in case. On the back of the belt head and in the heel of the leather shoe, there are a few gadgets that Zhao Zhi unlocked, and the door locks, handcuffs, and shackles can be opened. When he went to order these things, Hunter was also confused, and when these things were brought back, after Zhao Zhi demonstrated them to Hunter, Hunter shouted that he would also get a set back.
Carrying his suitcase with only a few clothes, Zhao Zhi called a taxi, and Zhao Zhi, who has never suffered a loss to himself, was going to live in the Liuguo Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane, Beiping.
The Six Nations Hotel was originally a two-storey brick and concrete Western-style hotel built by Belgians in 1901. In 1905, it was demolished and rebuilt into four floors, because it was a joint venture between Britain, France, the United States, Germany, and Russia, so it was named the Six Nations Hotel. The Liuguo Hotel has four floors above ground and one floor underground, with more than 200 guest rooms, and is one of the tallest western-style buildings in Yanjing at that time. The hotel mainly has ministers, officials and upper-class people from various countries to stay, dine and entertain here, forming a meeting place for dignitaries and nobles. At that time, it was also a refuge for military and political dignitaries who had fallen from power.
In 1925, with the improvement of the status of the Rokkoku Hotel, the original building could not meet the needs, and the hotel was expanded; The expansion was very conservative, almost completely maintaining the original shape, with only one layer of elevation on the original. The final Liuguo Hotel, covering an area of about 20,000 square meters, has 5 floors and a construction area of about 8,000 square meters, with about 300 guest rooms, restaurants that provide exotic cuisine, conference halls, amusement halls, movie halls, billiard rooms, table tennis rooms and swimming pools. The rooftop has a garden and can accommodate hundreds of people.
The reason why Zhao Zhi chose to stay in the Liuguo Hotel is mainly because the CIA agent who wants to connect with Zhao Zhi is also a big-nosed foreigner, and the most foreigners in Beiping are now in this Liuguo Hotel. Zhao Zhi can not only enjoy it inside, but also just disguise his identity for himself and the connector, and Zhao Zhi responds positively to the things that kill two birds with one stone.
