Chapter 788: Make up your mind
At noon, Yan Lei prepared a car to take Lu Xiyan to the Windsor Hotel.
After renovating, the Windsor Hotel has officially opened to the public, but it is still very low-key. The layout inside is different from before, especially on the third floor.
The third floor was built into two areas, isolated from each other, and there was also a separate staircase that was usually locked, and only the manager, Tang Jin and others were equipped with keys.
And the stairs lead directly to the third floor.
There is also an alarm device. Once something goes downstairs, you can directly notify upstairs. There is also an escape passage upstairs. In the suite, there is a straight-through ground shaft...
There are no blind spots in the security design.
Tang Jin regards this place as his strong little fortress, and it is normal that politics has a secret agency outside.
This is the first time Lu Xiyan has come here to redecorate and open the business. Qi Huan came down to pick him up, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to get up.
The layout of the suite has also been changed. It is said that steel plates have been added into the wall. Of course, the price is a bit too high, and this old building may not be able to withstand it.
"Old Lu, I thought you were not here." Tang Jin stood up when he saw Lu Xiyan, walked to the door to greet him.
"I will definitely not go to other people's dinner parties, but Brother Tang asked me, I will get it no matter what." Lu Xiyan took off his suit jacket and handed it to Qi Huan to hang it on the clothes hanger.
"Sit down, Qi Huan, go down to the kitchen to urge you to serve the food quickly."
"Yes." Qi Huan agreed and went down again.
"I heard that you went to '76' this morning and met Lin Shiqun?" Tang Jin sat down and asked.
"I saw it, I refused to let anyone go." Lu Xiyan nodded.
“Is it very troublesome?”
"They want to put a hat of a Chongqing official on Meng Hao. I see, the drunkard's intention is not to drink." Lu Xiyan sat down, picked up the poured tea on the table and took a sip.
"Come on you?" Tang Jin said in surprise.
"It's not that there is no possibility. I have the channels for importing drugs from Europe. Of course, they can cut off my imported drugs, but they may not be able to get this channel. At least I have companies in Hong Kong and Hanoi that can operate." Lu Xiyan said.
"You are still great and you are planning ahead. You have thought of this step long ago." Tang Jin exclaimed.
"The market in Southeast Asia is actually not small. I actually do not occupy much of the imported medicine market in Shanghai. The Japanese are not afraid to touch British and American importers for the time being, but they will restrict them. But their current international situation may not be very good. Japan is a country with small resources, and this is a shortcoming that he cannot make up for in a short period of time." Lu Xiyan analyzed.
"In other words, they need people like you who have direct overseas relationships to help them purchase supplies through unofficial channels?" Tang Jin understood.
"These are just my speculations. They have never attacked me directly, but have been constantly indulging me, even putting gold on my face and adding a halo. If it is just a praising me, is there any need to spend so much effort and resources?" Lu Xiyan asked back.
“It makes sense, it makes sense…”
"Then are they using Meng Hao's incident to make you bow your head and agree to their conditions?" Cao Bin also understood.
"It should be like this. I don't know what the specific plan is currently on." Lu Xiyan said, "I am not a roundworm in the Japanese belly, so how can I know what they are thinking?"
“Hahaha…”
"Brother Tang, how are you thinking about what I told you?" Lu Xiyan asked. He didn't want to focus all the problems on him. It is easy for him to lose too much.
"Old Lu, do you think this can really be done?" To be honest, Lu Xiyan's suggestion made him toss and turn last night and didn't sleep well.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Lu Xiyan said.
"If I become the deputy director of Chinese people, who will serve as the senior inspector general of the Political Department?" Tang Jin asked.
"You can promote Qi Huan to be inspector general." Lu Xiyan said, "Qi Huan can completely take over your position, and there will be no problem for at least three to five years."
"Well, Qi Huan is good, but I'm worried that he may not be able to suppress the people below."
"It's not that there is Director Ma Lai. As long as he supports Qi Huan, we can still have an advantage in the Political Department." Lu Xiyan said, "But it is impossible for you to control the Political Department. There will be gains and losses."
"I know, but this is different. I, the deputy director, can ask to be in charge of the political department." Tang Jin said, he must hold the basics in his hands, otherwise he will be promoted and the power in his hands will be gone. What's the point?
"This is OK. If you make up your mind, I will fight with you. Even if you lose, there will be no loss." Lu Xiyan said.
"Okay, then let's try it out, but now this matter is limited to the four of us." Tang Jin finally made up his mind.
"Team leader, for such a big thing, should I ask Boss Dai for instructions?"
Tang Jin hesitated for a moment. He could guarantee that Dai Yunong would definitely not object to this matter. The higher his position, the more helpful he would be to the work of the lurking team. This is certain.
But the more people know about the headquarters, the more they are afraid of leaking the news.
"Let's not talk about it first. Report it when you are a little sure of it, so as not to make Boss Dai happy, it's not good." Lu Xiyan could see Tang Jin's insanity and said for him.
"Come on, come on, have dinner first..." Seeing that Qi Huan commanded his subordinates to bring the food in, Tang Jin stood up and greeted him.
"Lao Lu, you don't go to work today, why don't you drink some?"
"No, I'm not in the mood, you can drink it." Lu Xiyan shook his hand.
"Okay, don't force me, let's drink less, there's still something going on in the afternoon." Tang Jin called the three of them to sit down and let Lu Xiyan go, and the three of them poured a glass of wine.
"We four haven't been together for a long time, come and have a drink."
"I'm sorry, I'll pick up the tea cup. He didn't drink at noon, and he was not in the mood today.
"Consultant Lu, don't worry too much. Xiao Hao is smart and clever. He knows what to say and what not to say. If No. 76 dares to torture our people, I, Qi Huan, will never end up with them!" Qi Huan said.
"I have seen Haozi, and it's useless. I just can't eat well, sleep well, and I'm almost in high spirits." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Part 1, what will you do next?"
"I will urge No. 76 to either let me bail the person, or hand over the case to the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Technology, and at the same time find evidence in favor of Meng Hao. At least I cannot let No. 76 people frame him." Lu Xiyan said.
"This is not easy. To prove that Meng Hao is not a gunman, unless the four real gunmen can be caught, or they surrender themselves to testify, but this is definitely impossible. Besides, No. 76 has mastered the witness now. Even if we can find the witness now, the witness may not necessarily change the confession." Cao Bin said.
"Although there is no way to obtain the evidence of the personal evidence, but the physical evidence is not complete without the evidence. I can also say that the evidence has been bribed. If the evidence of the evidence being bribed, then the evidence is not enough to be accepted?" Qi Huan said.
"Old Qi is worthy of being an old policeman with rich experience in handling cases. This is what I think of." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"So consultant Lu, you are already in action?"
Lu Xiyan smiled. He never said that he had to let Meng Hao go north to assassinate Ding Mo Village. If the loophole could be found and Meng Hao's crime was cleared, it would be the best.
"Old Lu, have you been asking for a military advisor?" Tang Jin asked in surprise.
At this time, besides the judiciary, only the "military advisor" could help him do this, and he would not let No. 76 notice it.
"I didn't see the military advisor, I only saw the fifth brother. The fifth brother agreed to help me, but he couldn't tell me how much he could. Even if I got the evidence, I could only tell the public that you helped me." Lu Xiyan greeted in advance.
"This is no problem. As long as you can get evidence in favor of Meng Hao, it is no problem for me, Qi Huan, to take the blame alone." Qi Huan patted his chest and said loyally.
"Good brother, Lao Qi, thank you." Lu Xiyan gently patted Qi Huan on the shoulder.
Cao Bin is the leader of the inquiry, and he is in secret and cannot show up. Tang Jin is the senior manager of the legal arresting house. He has his own concerns and cannot admit it casually. Only Qi Huan, whose position is neither high nor low, helps his colleagues and brothers who have been in the past to collect evidence. No one can blame him.
"Old Cao, please pay more attention to the relevant news. If there is any usefulness, please notify Lao Lu as soon as possible." Tang Jin ordered.
"OK."
"Have you found that ring later?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"Don't mention, there is no clue at all. The person who patted my shoulder seemed to have evaporated from the world. I asked around and said I had never seen this person before, and I don't know where he came out." Cao Bin smiled bitterly, "This matter is probably related to the Communist Party. We have already known the news about Kent's detention and are putting pressure on the top leaders through various channels."
"What should I do if the medical team aided to China?"
"Without the ring, where can we find 'Nancy'? Maybe they have already picked up the head and the token has no effect." Cao Bin said.
"A medical team like this is all Western faces. It's probably not that easy to enter their controlled area through Japanese occupation?"
"That's true. I wonder if the Japanese know this information?"
"We can't do this. Even if they go to the Communist Party's territory, we can't stop them and we can't send them to the Japanese. They are not the Communist Party." Tang Jin said.
"The team leader is right, we cannot do things that are against our conscience." Qi Huan echoed.
"Brother Tang is right. No matter what, the fight between brothers cannot implicate others in persuading them. Do you think this is the reason? Who will help us in the future?" Lu Xiyan said.
“What Consultant Lu said makes sense.”
"Lao Lu, front-line battle report, the battle in northern Jiangxi was defeated, and the Kuomintang army suffered a lot of losses. Xue Boling originally wanted to fight another victory like Wanjialing and wipe out the 106th Japanese Division, but it still made people run away. The 33rd Japanese Division in southern Hubei tried to bypass my Xinjiang River and the two lines of defense in Miluo River, and the Japanese army in northern Hunan attacked me from the 15th Army guarding these two directions..."
"Brother Tang, your radio station has a fixed contact time with Chongqing, right?"
"Well, that's it?"
"It's nothing. I think I've seen a lot of plainclothes carrying portable direction finding equipment walking around the alleys of the French Concession, so I'd like to remind you not to let the Japanese discover the location of our radio station." Lu Xiyan said.
"Is there such a thing?" Tang Jin was shocked.
"Consultant Lu is right. In recent times, there have been many such plainclothes make-up vendors who have made up a small businessman, walking around the streets, actually detecting the location of the radio station and then sneaking into the attack." Cao Bin nodded.
"The safety of the radio station must not be ignored. The contact time must be staggered, and the location must be changed. Especially the arrangement of the post must be made of light and dark," Tang Jin ordered.
"Yes, team leader." Cao Bin agreed.
