Chapter 181 Joint (1)

The Peninsula Hotel is indeed the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong. Opposite it is the Kowloon Peninsula, and Victoria Bay flows quietly at your feet.

Like a roc with broken wings.

It's not that it doesn't have wings, but that its wings penetrate deep into the hinterland of the continent. Although the roc without its wings is still a roc, it can't fly high if it wants to.

Although Hong Kong is a British colony, the British do not pay much attention to this enclave. With the current national strength of the United Kingdom, it cannot take into account the interests of the Far East at all.

But after the fall of Shanghai, the Far East Intelligence Center gradually moved here from Jinghai.

Hong Kong has become a paradise for intelligence.

The war caused population migration, which also increased Hong Kong's prosperity and the resulting public security problems. The influx of so many people into a small place at once will inevitably cause many problems.

All intelligence agencies from various countries have branches in Hong Kong.

The organization also has its own branch in Hong Kong. In his memory, there is a vague address, but he knows that he cannot go there, otherwise he will not be able to explain clearly.

Xia Fei was very familiar with the Peninsula Hotel. In his words, he had been there before with his master and had experienced everything inside.

Of course, you wouldn't dare commit a crime here.

The guests staying here are either rich or noble. If they mess with the wrong people, they will have no place in Hong Kong.

This life of spending money like water.

Xia Fei was envious.

But soon Luo Yao was furious. He achieved his life of spending money by getting something for nothing. This outlook on life was inherently problematic.

Xia Fei is still young and can correct it. Once it takes shape, it is difficult to change, just like a tree with a crooked neck.

Even if it is straightened again, it still looks crooked.

"Let me tell you, I'm looking for someone, about fifty years old, a foreigner, bald, with a big belly, an onion nose, a little red. If you see it, report it immediately, but don't alert the enemy!"

"clear."

"I'll take you to dinner. After dinner, you can have free time." Luo Yao said.

The hotel's restaurant serves Western food.

At this point, I can only make do with it and eat something to pacify my stomach.

"Xia Fei, please teach Ah Hu, he has never eaten Western food." Luo Yao looked at the clumsy Yang Fan and told Xia Fei, "This kid is not old and has learned a lot. This pretentiousness is quite... A bit of an aristocratic gentleman.

At least it can bluff people.

Xia Fei's master can be considered an expert who has seen the world.

"Brother Hu, let me teach you how to eat Western food with a fork in your left hand and a knife in your right hand. The knife is placed vertically in the palm of your hand, with your index finger touching the top of the handle..."

"Brother Hu, what did your hands do before? Why are they so rough?"

"I used to be a blacksmith and a sledgehammer!"

"No wonder!"

After eating, Luo Yao ordered: "After eating, you can walk around and go back early to rest. Xiaohui and I will go to the bar upstairs to sit for a while."

He needs to collect some information, and the bar is naturally the best place.

There were a lot more people in the bar than in the restaurant. Most of them were foreigners with brown hair and blue eyes, men and women. They talked softly. They all dressed themselves up and down, and really regarded themselves as gentlemen.

I found a seat near the edge and sat down.

"Sir, do you need something to drink?" A waiter came forward.

"A glass of whiskey." Luo Yao ordered in English, "Give this lady a glass of red wine."

"Okay, wait a minute, you two."

After a while, Luo Yao's whiskey and Gong Hui's red wine were brought over.

"You two, please use it slowly."

Luo Yao took a sip and put down his glass: "Xiao Hui, the woman in the cheongsam opposite you at nine o'clock looks like our target."

Gong Hui nodded, leaned forward slightly, picked up the goblet and said, "I saw it, do you want to go over and test it out?"

"Confirm your identity first."

According to the information, Yardley likes drinking and beautiful women, so bars are the most likely place for him to hang out. Of course, with his bohemian style in the United States, it is possible to go to some romantic places.

However, he is only an old love worker, so it is impossible that he does not know the dangers of his journey. If he really lets himself go, he will really not take his own life seriously.

Luo Yao also knew that this guy had a bad temper. In Chinese terms, he was a bit stubborn and would accept death.

This kind of person is difficult to deal with, but once he recognizes you, he will be very easy to get along with, easy to talk to, and will give you the greatest trust.

"Shall I go over and take a look?"

"Don't move!" Luo Yao suddenly pressed down on Gong Hui. He heard someone talking in a low voice in Japanese. Although the hotel did not restrict the entry and exit of Japanese people, at this time, there were Japanese people in the bar where Yardley was suspected of appearing. If people come and go, this can't make him alert.

"What's wrong?"

"There are Japanese people in the bar, probably agents." Luo Yao whispered.

"Yardley's identity exposed?"

"It's very possible that we can't join forces rashly, otherwise not only Yardley will be in danger, but we will also be in danger." Luo Yao's most feared situation appeared.

"On the left at seven o'clock, there is a man in a plaid suit, and on the right side of the bar, there is a man in a black leather jacket with a cigar in his mouth. They are also very suspicious. Both of them are paying attention to the target intentionally or unintentionally. Luo Yao observed it carefully and said.

"Then what do we do?"

"Observe first, there will always be a way." Luo Yao said. It was a big challenge to connect with Yardley without alerting the Japanese.

Although I have no practical experience in this area, there are still ways.

The foreign man suspected of being Yardley continued to chat enthusiastically with the woman wearing a cheongsam across from him, and he seemed to be interested in further in-depth exchanges.

After sitting in the bar for half an hour, Luo Yao put the money and consumption under the glass, and then left directly with Gong Hui.

It is basically certain that this bald old man is the target person they want to escort, Holbert Yardley. His current alias is Holbert Osborne.

From his conversation with the cheongsam beauty, Luo Yao heard that the cheongsam beauty called him "Mr. Osborne", and the physical characteristics and room number matched.

The rooms at the Peninsula Hotel are indeed much better than those at the Kowloon Hotel. Of course, the price for one night's stay has also gone up. They have advanced air-conditioning systems, 24-hour hot water, and attentive butler service on call.

It's so considerate that as long as you move in, your food, clothing, housing and transportation will all be arranged for you, as long as you have enough money.

Luo Yao and Gong Hui's room was a suite with a small living room. There was only a large leather Simmons bed in the room, and of course, a full set of toiletries.

There is a sofa in the small living room and a set of exquisite tea sets on the coffee table.

There is also a coffee pot.

If necessary, you can make your own coffee in the room. Of course, you need to bring your own coffee beans or buy them from the hotel, and the price is not low.

"At night, you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the sofa." Luo Yao took off his coat and hat, hung them on the hangers at the door, and said to Gong Hui.

"The bed is so big, can it be enough for the two of us to sleep on?"

"What are you talking about? Can I sleep on the same bed with you?" Luo Yao unbuttoned his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and poured himself a glass of water.

"We both live in the same house, what do you think others will think of us?"

"If you don't tell me, and I won't tell you, who knows?" Luo Yaodao said, "Besides, we are doing it for the mission and for expediency. If outsiders don't understand it, don't we ourselves understand it either?"

"I don't care anyway. If you want to explain, I won't explain it. You have to explain it yourself." Gong Hui chuckled. Some things are getting darker and darker. What will you do then?

"I'm going to sleep first. Don't call me if you have nothing to do." Luo Yao directly took a blanket, came over, lay half on the sofa, and took a magazine to cover his face.

After a while, Gong Hui heard the familiar sound of snoring.

With this snoring sound by her side, she felt more at ease than anything else.

There was a full pool of water in the bathtub, sprinkled with rose petals, and lying in it, it felt so comfortable. This was the first time since Gong Hui was born!

Humming an unknown tune.

Gong Hui took a beautiful bath, put on a clean nightgown, and then threw herself on the soft Simmons bed. At that moment, she felt like she was sinking into it and didn't want to get up again.

When can I live such a comfortable life?

…

"What's going on with you two? Your eyes are as red as rabbits?" When he got up in the morning, he asked Yang Fan and Xia Fei to have breakfast. Luo Yao was shocked when he saw the two of them looking languid and with red eyes.

"Brother Tiger couldn't sleep in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night I couldn't sleep because of Brother Tiger's snoring." Xia Fei explained.

"Not used to it?"

"I have never slept on such a soft bed. I always feel uneasy and can't sleep." Yang Fan said, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"It's okay, you just get used to it." Luo Yao said with a smile, "How about you sleep separately, one on the bed and one on the sofa."

"Go and wash your face first, and then have breakfast. After dinner, I'll leave you with something to do." Luo Yao said.

"yes!"

"Where's Miss Hui?"

"She was a little tired yesterday and was still sleeping in the room, so we won't disturb her." Luo Yao explained, "Just ask the hotel to send her a breakfast later."

…

"You all know that the target person lives in Room 305, right?" Luo Yao asked while eating.

They both nodded.

"Are you clear about the characteristics of the character?"

"clear."

"If the target goes out today, you two should follow him from a distance. Write down where the target goes and who he meets, and show me carefully." Luo Yao said carefully, "Xia Fei , your special skills may be used today, and you will follow my command then, do you understand?"

"clear."

"What if the target person stays in the hotel and doesn't go out?"

"Then think of another way. When the time comes, I will ask you to cooperate." Luo Yao said.

Americans who are accustomed to living freely are not willing to stay in one place, especially a man like Yardley who is a good drinker and a good womanizer.

Only if you can endure loneliness will you see ghosts.

You can't meet Yardley in the hotel, as that will alert the Japanese agents who are monitoring Yardley. You can only wait for him to go out to find a solution.

Keep asking for votes!
