Chapter 140 Anxious People from All Sides
"Oh no, brother!" Pei Qiuchen shouted breathlessly, "Someone escaped from the roof"!
"What! Isn't there someone guarding the rooftop?" Dou Shixiao and Ishihara stood up in shock.

"The two plainclothes officers guarding the passage on the fourth floor and the two military police on the rooftop are all dead!" Pei Qiuchen said with a sad face.

"Baga!" Ishihara spoke in his hometown dialect angrily.

Afterwards, Dou Shixiao and Ishihara rushed to the fire escape on the fourth floor where the incident occurred, and sure enough, the two plainclothes officers were dragged to the corner behind the door.

After some inspection, Dou Shixiao said calmly:
"The cause of death is the same as Jing Mu's. There are no signs of external injuries. The time of death is no more than ten minutes. It must be the same person!"

Ishihara gritted his teeth and said:
"Nerna, it must be Nerna! Bastard!"

"Let's take a look at the one above!" Dou Shixiao said. At the same time, he was also very curious, because Nerna didn't have this ability.

Later, Dou Shixiao and Ishihara came to the rooftop and saw that the two gendarmes had died in the same way. Of course, they also saw something more conspicuous, a ladder between the two buildings.

After the two left, Chen Jiaying checked the two bodies on the fourth floor. When she heard them say that the cause of death was the same as Jingmu's and there were no external injuries, she became suspicious.

Chen Jiaying remembered that day when she was returning from the rooftop with Lin Hao, Lin Hao knocked Jingmu unconscious and then dragged him to the bathroom. Combined with what Dou Shixiao said, it was most likely that Lin Hao did it this time.

Chen Jiaying was extremely shocked, but the time was obviously wrong. Lin Hao should still be in the restaurant at this moment. It was impossible for her to get past the heavy guards without being discovered in just a few minutes, unless he had run away.

"You are such a troublemaker!" Chen Jiaying lamented in her heart.

But thinking about Lin Hao's arrangements and his knowledge of everyone in the Peace Hotel, he obviously had other plans, so why did he send Nerna away?
Wait, maybe he wants to make Nerna a scapegoat?

Come to think of it, it's possible. After all, in their eyes, Nerna's departure means that the editor's accomplices have also left, so there is no need to blockade this place.

But I feel that this assumption is wrong. What is the problem?
Chen Jiaying, who was having a headache, of course didn't know that Lin Hao was purely after the destiny points.

After arriving at the rooftop, she did not check on the two dead gendarmes because she saw the ladder, which was the same ladder that the editor had used to escape yesterday, in exactly the same place.

There is no need to guess. Even if it was not done by Lin Hao himself, he must have sent someone to do it. You have to know that he is a person who treats the Peace Hotel as his own home and can come and go freely.

There was a ladder on the roof, a fireplace chimney, and an elevator in the chess and card room. Chen Jiaying was amazed. The Peace Hotel, which seemed to be tightly sealed, was leaking like a sieve.

If Lin Hao told her now that there were other passages in and out, she would not be surprised at all, after all~!

Wait, could it be that Lin Hao really has other channels? Chen Jiaying felt that this possibility was very high.

Looking at the ladder connecting the two buildings, Chen Jiaying asked:

"Captain Dou, what's wrong with this ladder? It should have been removed yesterday."

Dou Shixiao looked serious but felt relieved. It seemed that they had escaped, so there was no need to worry. He said:
"This ladder was brought over from the opposite side. The ladder that was there yesterday was taken away a long time ago. Someone is outside helping the murderer escape!"

Then Dou Shixiao sighed and said:
"Hey! The blockade of the Peace Hotel now seems like a joke!" Looking at Chen Jiaying and Ishihara, Dou Shixiao asked, "Ishihara, what do you think?"

"I will report to Colonel Kusaka immediately. I hope things are not that bad!" Then, Ishihara bowed to Chen Jiaying and said, "Ms. Chen, please continue to help us track down the murderer!"

Seeing Ishihara leave, Dou Shixiao said as he walked:
"Ms. Chen, I wonder if you have found anything?"

"I need more clues!" Then Chen Jiaying kept silent.

Because Chen Jiaying found that Dou Shixiao was very strange. Just now when he said that there was someone outside, he seemed a little excited. Although it was only for a moment, it did not escape her eyes.

"Could it be one of our people?" Then he went to the meeting room.

On the other side, when Kusaka Ayumu heard the news reported by Ishihara, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Originally, the editor's escape had already made him very angry, but when he heard Ishihara say that not only did the person escape, but four more people died, his mentality completely exploded, and a surge of anger rushed from the bottom of his heart to his forehead.

"You actually fell down twice in the same place, bastards!" Even through the phone line, one could feel Kusaka Bu's boundless anger.

"Hi!"

"A bunch of useless idiots! Four more dead!"

"Hi!"

"Why don't you two just die!"

"Hi!" Ishihara wiped the sweat from his forehead after hanging up the phone.

"I'm coming right over here. You two bastards, prepare all the information and clues for me."

"Hi!"

"Bang!" The phone was smashed hard on the telephone.

Turning his head to look at the police inspector's dog face, Kusakabu said in a low voice:

"Here comes Section Chief Noma. Send him directly to the Peace Hotel."

The police inspector looked at the furious Kusakabe and said tremblingly:

"Okay, Colonel!" Then the police inspector smiled flatteringly, "Colonel, do you want me to send someone to inform Chief Noma on the way?"

"Idiot, Chief Noma's whereabouts are secretive, how can you grasp it!" After saying that, Kusaka Bu looked at the police inspector again and saw that he was still standing there in a daze.

"Pah!" He slapped the police inspector in the face and said, "What are you standing there for? Prepare the car!"

"Yes!"

"Also! This person must be kept under strict watch. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible!"

"Understood!" The inspector had no choice but to agree.

Kusakabu glanced at Mr. Feng who was still in a coma. The doctor said that he would wake up tonight or tomorrow morning. It seemed that he would have to be injected with truth serum again tomorrow.

In the conference room of the Peace Hotel, Chen Jiaying and Dou Shixiao watched Ishihara being scolded. They already realized that what happened at the Peace Hotel would not end so easily.

Chen Jiaying wanted to get more clues to avoid being passive later, so she asked:

"Have you checked the phone number in Nerna's room?"

"The military police's codeword experts are investigating. Ms. Chen, please come with me to the switchboard. They should be able to find out the answer." With that, Ishihara left with Chen Jiaying with a worried look on his face.

When they arrived at the switchboard, the gendarmerie's codeword expert was listening to the incoming and outgoing calls of the past two days.

As soon as Ishihara came in, he asked, "Did you find anything?"

The codeword expert stood up and replied: "Report, I heard a phone call with a codeword." "Which call?" Ishihara perked up.

The code expert replied, "Four minutes before you go to Nerna's room!"

"What's the specific content?" After saying that, Dou Shixiao said again: "There is also a record sheet for me to look at."

The code language expert responded and said, "Before you answered the mysterious call, a total of seven calls were made, and after analysis of the recordings.

The entire outgoing call was in English, but in the two time periods of 1 minute 04 seconds to 9 seconds and 1 minute 23 seconds to 30 seconds, there were Latin words mixed in, which have been confirmed to be a code language mode. "

"The words are a few minutes, bad guy, and Mandarin transaction."

Dou Shixiao took the record and looked at it, frowning and said:

"The call was made before we went to Nerna's room. At the same time, our police officers found a note with French words and its content directly pointing to Nerna!"

"A few minutes later, we arrived at his room and found no one there. At this time, we received another call in Nerna's room, and the content was consistent with what was written on the note."

"Haha! They are making fun of us!" The three of them understood that this was a carefully planned plan by someone with ulterior motives.

After Chen Jiaying understood everything, she simulated countless possibilities in her mind and soon thought of one possibility: might it be self-defeating?

Taking out the rose essential oil and taking a deep breath, Chen Jiaying said softly:

"That's right. Someone set up a trap to instruct you to control Nerna, and then arranged for someone to call in from outside to strengthen your suspicion of Nerna."

"However, they did not expect that Nerna had already escaped, making their actions unnecessary."

Captain Ishihara raised his own question:
"The question now is what exactly is their plan? They even went so far as to use our help to point out to us that Nerna has the film."

Of course Chen Jiaying knew that Nerna's film pointed to political donations, so the person who made the call must be a Mi Lijian.

Because the film showed the Soviet Union and Nanjing, exposing the film was the best option to disrupt their convergence.

Chen Jiaying, who has figured this out, now faces a choice: should she involve the issue of political donations?
No, I need to wait until I get back and discuss this with Lin Hao before making a decision.

But now she still needs to master more information, so she said:
"I need to reanalyze this call. It's definitely not that simple. Maybe we can find clues from it!"

Dou Shixiao and Ishihara naturally agreed to her request. In fact, they also wanted to finish the hotel business as soon as possible because there were too many important people here, and there was also General Xiang Zhi's cocktail party tomorrow. They didn't want to create any more trouble, but they had no choice~!

At this time in the restaurant, Lin Hao and Lu Dailing were having a pleasant conversation.

Lu Dailing naturally had her own purpose for coming to find Lin Hao.

Lu Dailing had already figured out the political donations between the Chen brothers and Su Guoren, and also knew that they had had contact with Mi Lijian.

So she has already made preparations to grab the political donation, and then, as Mr. Wang's representative, use the political donation as a bargaining chip to gain support from the island country.

Just two days of blockade have changed things a little. It seems that Franchi Nerna is also involved in political donations.

I wanted to ask someone, but I couldn't find the right person.

And just now she heard the Japanese people invite Wang Boren's wife to assist them in investigating the case. It was quite a sudden turn of events!
As expected, none of the people who could live in the Peace Hotel were simple people. After some conversation and probing, she keenly realized that Wang Boren was of great value to her.

So Lu Dailing said, "Mr. Wang, it's so pleasant to chat with you. You really know how to make girls happy. I really envy your wife for having such a good husband like you."

As she said that, she sat down next to Lin Hao like a little bird.

"You have no idea how scared I was these past two days. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep at night, and I was alone in the room!" As he said this, he looked pitiful, as if he was about to cry.

Seeing Lu Dailing's pitiful appearance, she was like a lamb delivered to the door to be slaughtered. She was beautiful and had a good figure. She was also a little star. Who would think of refusing her?

Anyway, Lin Hao never thought of refusing!

Lin Hao grabbed Lu Dailing's hand and stroked it gently, comforting her with a smile:
"Don't worry, I'm here with you from now on, you don't have to be afraid!"

The fact that this woman used the image of a little white rabbit, lurking in the Peace Hotel and moving around with people from all walks of life, and her true identity has not been discovered by anyone, is enough to show that she is indeed quite capable.

Lin Hao is particularly interested in her now.

At this time, Lu Dailing said hesitantly:
"But what if your wife doesn't agree with me coming to see you?"

After hearing what Lu Dailing said, Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly and he smiled:
"Just don't let her know. It's a pity it's not night time now, otherwise I would have had a deep conversation with Miss Lu."

Ha! Men! They are all the same! Lu Dailing's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and she snorted in her heart. Lin Hao's move was exactly what she wanted.

Then Lu Dailing smiled slightly with a hint of treacherous eyes:
"If Mr. Wang is free, you can come see me tonight!"

"Then it's a deal!" Lin Hao raised his eyebrows and said in a friendly manner.

"Then Mr. Wang, I'll go back first!" Lu Dailing said, leaving reluctantly.

You probably don't know what it means to be a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth! Looking at Lu Dailing leaving, Lin Hao had already thought about her destination.

At this time, all the tenants were asked to gather in the western restaurant again for a headcount.

I saw that those who had returned to the room earlier were sent to the restaurant one after another. After a thorough investigation, the Japanese people left the restaurant without explaining the cause and effect.

Everyone was puzzled by the island nation's behavior and wondered if something had happened again.

However, George White and Ryan smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

"It seems that they have captured Nerna and probably got the film!" George Bai said proudly.

Ryan also said: "You still have a lot of tricks. You easily ruined their deal by using a borrowed knife to kill someone, and also effortlessly diverted other people's attention. It seems that we are one step closer to success!"

Then, Ryan glanced at the old Jew again and said to George Bai:

"Are you sure it's him?"

"I'm about 60 to 70 percent sure. I've been observing him for a few days, but he seems very vigilant!" George Bai also glanced at the old Jew.

But the two of them didn't know that Lin Hao had been observing them. When he saw them looking at the old Jew, he guessed their next move.

Haha, you haven't filled the last hole yet! Lin Hao was still very satisfied with his arrangement.
