Chapter 136 Asking
"It's simple. After Editor Wen escaped, another accomplice stayed in the hotel to help him lock the door. This delayed the time it took us to find Editor Wen, thus giving him more time to escape."

"As long as the contents of the film are exposed, our blockade of the Peace Hotel will become meaningless."

"When the time comes, we will be forced to lift the blockade due to diplomatic pressure, and then the editor's accomplices will be able to escape without being exposed."

After that, he added uncertainly: "Or, just like what Colonel Kusaka said, they must be taking some big action!"

"Luckily we discovered it early. Editor Wen should not have gotten far. We can ask the police to send more people to hunt him down. We will look for Editor Wen's accomplices in the hotel!"

Also, we are short of manpower, so we need to ask Colonel Kusaka to send military police to help.

Just as Dou Shixiao and Ishihara were brainstorming, the atmosphere in Room 316 where Lin Hao and Chen Jiaying were staying was a little tense.

"That's it! A clerk in the Economic Investigation Bureau, nothing else?" Lin Hao said dissatisfiedly: "Burning newspapers at the graves on Qingming Festival is a trick to fool the ghosts, right?"

"What about you? Apart from the fact that you attended the Whampoa Military Academy, you haven't revealed anything else?" Chen Jiaying said bluntly.

"At least I didn't lie to you, but your husband's information is fake, right? Have you ever thought that they can find out directly with just one phone call?"

Chen Jiaying was speechless. She had just been thinking about parting ways tomorrow and felt that it was impossible for her to tell him her hidden identity.

"Chen Jiaying, I think we should be honest with each other. There's no need to hide anything. We are in the same boat now and we need to get through this difficult time together!"

Chen Jiaying actually knew that since the hammer and sickle badge was exposed, her core identity had been guessed by Lin Hao. And through her observation, Lin Hao still had a heart of justice and was not the kind of person who hated the Red Party.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiaying said:

"I am a clerk in the Economic Investigation Bureau. This is my public identity. Another identity is that I am a behavior trace analysis expert specially hired by the South Railway Intelligence Agency. As for the last identity, you should know it."

"I was a member of the 9th class of the Central Army Officers School with the rank of second lieutenant. After graduation, I became a member of the Lixingshe Action Team under the arrangement of my father." Lin Hao said.

Although Chen Jiaying was mentally prepared, she was still surprised when she found out that Lin Hao was from the Lixing Society. Fortunately, he was not from the Party Affairs Investigation Office. At the same time, an idea came to her mind.

Lin Hao thought that Wang Boren's identity was a thunder, so he said:

"Please tell me the truth about your husband in detail, so that you won't be exposed later."

Ding Dong!Ding Dong!
Just then, the doorbell rang. The two looked at each other. Chen Jiaying walked over to open the door. Seeing that it was a policeman, she asked, "What's the matter?"

The policeman said, "Madam, please gather at the western restaurant downstairs within five minutes."

"why?"

"I would go into a room and explain myself, and the guest would scold me. It was very annoying."

Lin Hao walked over and said, "Got it, we'll go right away."

"Thank you sir for your understanding."

Seeing the police leave and knock on other guest rooms, Chen Jiaying closed the door and said:
"Except for the fact that Wang Boren's identity is fake, the information I mentioned before is all true, including the Huaqiang Commercial Bank."

"That's it. They will definitely verify my identity. When they verify Wang Boren's physical features, my identity as your husband will definitely be exposed!" Lin Hao said.

"Don't worry, we have a plan for this situation, and you won't be exposed in a short time." Of course Lin Hao knew what the plan was, but it could only delay time. It seemed he had to find a way himself.

Then, the two took the elevator to the first floor.

After walking out of the elevator, Lin Hao stretched out his hand and said seriously:

"Wife, from now on, we have to act a little more intimate. After all, we are staying in the Peace Hotel as a couple, so we should be careful."

"By the way, do you think I should call you my wife from now on, or should I call you Jiaying? This will make us seem more intimate."

"Hmph!" Chen Jiaying snorted coldly, but still walked forward with her arm around his, and warned him, "Don't think too much, I'm doing this for our safety!"

"Of course." Lin Hao said proudly.

Lin Hao glanced at her, a bright smile appeared on his lips, he opened the door and walked into the western restaurant. The combination of talented man and beautiful woman is always eye-catching.

Chen Jiaying looked at the man she was holding, and she unconsciously believed that Lin Hao was her husband. She even felt the feeling of mutual support from Lin Hao.

Even though she knew clearly that she didn't even have a husband, and that Lin Hao was not only fake but was even a member of the Lixing Society, she still fell into it unconsciously.

Afterwards, the two of them sat in the corner tacitly and began to look around.

At this time, many tenants had gathered in the restaurant, and plainclothes teams and police were stationed around the restaurant to impose martial law.

Soviets, Milijians, Islanders, Germans, French, and even Jews.

Due to its geographical location and other factors, the Peace Hotel has long been a place for intelligence exchange among countries.

Lin Hao looked around and saw many familiar faces. They were all important characters in the original plot of the Peace Hotel and were also Lin Hao's targets.

Although it looks like a lively and peaceful western restaurant, in fact, there is a hint of anxiety and uneasiness on everyone's face.

Lin Hao and Chen Jiaying had just sat down when they heard the sound of the plainclothes team arguing with the American Ryan at the door.

The Chen brothers also said:
"The economy here is supported by us, understand!"

"Show me some respect!"

At this time, a foreigner stood up and laughed:
"Women in island countries are the economic backbone!"

"Hahahaha" For a moment, the whole restaurant burst into laughter.

An island tenant was dissatisfied and immediately stood up to refute, but was stopped by the plainclothes team.

The Japanese plainclothes officer who had a conflict with Ryan gnashed his teeth and cursed loudly:

"Shut up, American! Be careful with your words!"

Ryan also shouted angrily at the plainclothes officer: "Shut up now."

Then Ryan and the plainclothes police officer pushed each other, and the Chen brothers came forward to help. There was a lot of pushing and shoving, and the plainclothes police officer even took out a gun.

"Stop!" the plainclothes female shouted angrily:

"Listen to me, one of our warriors has died. Everyone here is a suspect. I warn you, don't be too arrogant."

Looking at the tenants with different expressions, everyone was angry. Lin Hao couldn't help but smile. No one here had a simple identity.

Lin Hao knew that in addition to the film of the editor, there were two other important plots in the Peace Hotel. One was political donations, exposing the White Party Chen brothers, and pretending to be a secret transaction between the Nanjing government and the Soviets.

Of course, this was just a bait set up by the Chen brothers. Their real purpose was to rob the funds transferred out of the Jewish banks.

The other is the wealth plan. The one who plays tarot cards, the Jewish nuclear physicist, the Militist spies George White and Ryan, are here for him.

Lin Hao already has an idea about the wealth plan. The core of the wealth plan is this Jewish old man, or to be more precise, the knowledge in his mind.

Lin Hao knew how important the mushroom bomb was to the future of the motherland. Instead of sending this nuclear physicist to Milijian, it would be better to keep him in Heixiaziling and teach a few students. This would be most beneficial to the country.

Just as Lin Hao was thinking, he suddenly smelled of alcohol.

"Bang!" A drunk woman fell on the table between two people.

A drunken face, red cheeks, thick smoky makeup and blurry eyes, with exaggerated lipstick on the mouth. This makeup looks funny.

"I am an unkind thief. I throw out all the dirty things one by one, so that these sufferers can't have peace..."

Yao Hong, a novelist, a best-seller, is also a pitiful woman. She had everything ruined by that island general who looked like a dog.

Lin Hao felt that he should do something for her, not just because she helped Chen Jiaying in the original drama.

What he wanted more in his heart was to give justice to the women who were violated by them in this era, and Lin Hao had already chosen the sacrifice.

Seeing Lin Hao's strange expression, Chen Jiaying asked, "Who is she? Is she yours?"

Lin Hao shook his head gently and sighed:
"She is the epitome of this era, just a poor woman."

At this time, outside the western restaurant, Dou Shixiao saw a policeman coming out and immediately asked:
"Have you finished the head count?"

"I've finished the inventory. All 25 hotel staff are here, as are 18 guests from the island nation, 15 guests from other countries, and 7 individual guests."

Dou Shixiao led a group of police officers and plainclothes officers and walked directly into the western restaurant. He did not hide anything and spoke loudly:
"Everyone, I know you are resentful of being restricted from freedom, but we just discovered that there are accomplices of wanted criminals in this hotel!"

"This accomplice not only helped the wanted criminal escape, but also killed a plainclothes officer. His methods were extremely cruel!"

"So next, we will question each of you one by one, and we ask for your cooperation."

After saying that, he ordered the younger brothers behind him to take away a tenant from the island country. Dou Shixiao and Ishihara had agreed to give priority to protecting the tenant from the island country.

Faced with the brutal and powerful Chief Inspector Dou, everyone wisely chose to cooperate.

After all, they are not clean and don't want to cause trouble.

But there was one exception, that was Nerna, a Frenchman who had just come out of the toilet. He was wrapped in bandages and kept cursing Dou Shixiao and the Japanese.

A few hours passed quickly, and everyone was shocked to find that there were no more guests from the island country in the restaurant, which made them a little uneasy. At this time, if they lit a fire, there would definitely be trouble.

However, Lin Hao did not have such an outstanding idea. He just teased Chen Jiaying while discussing how to respond to the inquiries.

To outsiders, when two people lean against each other and talk in whispers, they would just be considered a couple whispering in each other's ears.

Not long after, it was Lin Hao and Chen Jiaying's turn.

"Please follow me." Bei Qiucheng led the two into the interrogation room.

After a while, Dou Shixiao and Captain Ishihara left another interrogation room and came into the room they were in.

Dou Shixiao looked at the two people carefully, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see any flaws. The two people seemed to be a perfect match, and standing together was so natural and harmonious.

There were seven or eight questions in total, and Lin Hao and Chen Jiaying answered them all with clear logic and no flaws.

After some questioning, Dou Shixiao frowned. This extremely neat answer, as if it had been discussed beforehand, made him feel that this couple was definitely not simple!
Looking at the two calm and composed people, Dou Shixiao asked curiously:

"Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang don't seem nervous at all. The other non-Japanese people I asked before don't have such strong psychological quality as you."

"I run a trading company. I've traveled all over the country for so many years and have seen all kinds of big scenes. I'm used to it." Lin Hao said arrogantly.

Dou Shixiao stared at Lin Hao and asked:

"I'm very curious. You're just a business owner. What qualifications do you have to act so arrogant in front of me? And you're saying you're used to it!"

"Ha!" Lin Hao glanced at Dou Shixiao with disdain and said arrogantly: "Just because my wife works for Nantie, do you think we need to be nervous?"

Seeing Lin Hao's smug look, Dou Shixiao couldn't help but want to give him a beating, which brought up Nantie again.

Captain Ishihara, who was originally not interested, heard that Chen Jiaying was actually from the Southern Railway and immediately asked Chen Jiaying, "Ms. Chen works for the Southern Railway?"

Chen Jiaying also said lightly:
"I'm a behavioral trace analysis expert hired by the Southern Railway Intelligence Agency. You can call and verify this at any time."

After getting Chen Jiaying's confirmation, Captain Ishihara smiled kindly and explained to Chen Jiaying and Lin Hao:
"Ms. Chen, I'm very sorry. This arrest operation is very important, and questioning is an indispensable part. I hope you can understand."

In fact, the South Railway Organization is a special existence. It is also a very important force and organization of the island country in the local area. Those who can be employed in it are those who have undergone months of screening.

After verifying through phone contact, Captain Ishihara no longer had any doubts about Lin Hao and Chen Jiaying.

Although Dou Shixiao was surprised, he was more puzzled, so he said:

"Since Ms. Chen is from the Southern Railway, let me ask one last question!"

After a pause, he said, "You two have been reunited after a long time. Why don't you stay at home instead of coming to the Peace Hotel?"

"Because my husband and I have been invited to attend General Xiangzhi's cocktail party the day after tomorrow." Chen Jiaying said calmly.

This answer surprised both Dou Shixiao and Captain Ishihara.

Those invited by General Xiangzhi were undoubtedly trustworthy lackeys and extremely pro-Japanese personnel.

Captain Ishihara hurriedly looked at Dou Shixiao, signaling with his eyes that it was okay. After all, just the South Railway was enough to give him a headache, and their affiliation was not allowed to be managed by any department.

He might have to write a report to explain why he was looking up Chen Jiaying's identity, and he really didn't want to get into trouble again.

Dou Shixiao had no choice but to give up: "Okay, the questioning is over, you can go back to your room."

Chen Jiaying naturally took Lin Hao's arm and walked out the door.

Dou Shixiao looked at the two people leaving. His intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with them. Their answers were too perfect, as if they had been prepared in advance.
