The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 77 Americans

Lu Liankui still valued Cheng Mo very much. He went to the entrance of the Central Hotel to greet him personally, and even called him "brother".

Lu Liankui once worshiped Huang Jinrong. Huang Jinrong was just a Haiqing in the Qinggang. It turned out that no one recognized him.

But he was very powerful, so in the end everyone recognized him as a member of the Qinggang gang. He assigned himself a "big" generation, but in fact everyone only recognized him as a "tong" generation.

If we count them in terms of seniority, Lu Liankui and Cheng Mo are the same generation in the Youth Gang. There is nothing wrong with Lu Liankui calling him brothers.

But if we divide them according to the generation of "tong", Lu Liankui belongs to the generation of "enlightenment", which is a generation younger than Cheng Mo.

However, seniority in the Youth Gang is not the most important, but strength is the most important.

Even if they are not peers, they can still exchange posts and become sworn brothers. The three tycoons have different seniority in the Youth Gang, so aren't they also sworn brothers?

So, this is very messy.

What Lu Liankui looked like, Cheng Mo had never seen in the past. Although there is no lack of his name in history books, this kind of person is disgraceful, not to mention photos.

Anyway, this person is bold and arrogant, especially greedy for money and lust. This is almost universally acknowledged. However, after experiencing the "Yu Gongzi" incident and suffering losses, his temperament has become much more restrained, and he is not as flamboyant as before.

In fact, he didn't pay too much attention to the fact that a new detective came to the political stock market, but this detective has been reused by Pride ever since.

This made Lu Liankui very curious as to what kind of background this young man named Cheng Mo had.

These days, not many people who have studied abroad can find a job in the Concession Industry Bureau Police Department as soon as they return to Shanghai.

Most people's starting point is a translator, but he is an investigator, a person with the power to investigate cases.

So, he paid attention.

It was discovered that Pride actually took him to the Hongkou Licha Hotel to negotiate secretly with the Japanese, and later he also worked as a film censor.

This young man has an extraordinary future.

It would not hurt for him to make friends with such a young man, and it might help him in the future, so he had this private banquet.

Cheng Mo came here with Xu Qinghe.

Lu Liankui's men didn't know him, and when he went to a banquet, he couldn't go there wearing a patrol uniform, that would be too ostentatious.

Bringing Xu Qinghe with him was to show his trust in him. Secondly, if there was anything he couldn't say, he could let Xu Qinghe convey it.

Xu Qinghe and Lu Liankui knew each other, and the person walking in front of Xu Qinghe must be the protagonist who was going to entertain him tonight.

Lu Liankui was familiar with this ability of observing words and emotions.

"This is Officer Cheng Mo, the new detective of our political unit."

"Inspector Lu, you are very polite. I have just entered the patrol room and am a latecomer. I will ask you for more advice in the future." Cheng Mo also clasped his fists and replied politely.

"Officer Cheng is energetic and promising at a young age. Lu is getting older. He will still have to rely on young people like you in the future."

"please!"

"Officer Cheng, this restaurant was opened with my own funds. If you come over for dinner in the future, you can just sign the bill."

"No, it's a matter of course that you have to pay for your meal. Inspector Lu is open for business. If all the customers are like me, can this restaurant still be open in the long run?" Cheng Mo chuckled, taking advantage of others' soft words. This meal is not that delicious.

"That's what Officer Cheng said." Lu Liankui said "Haha" and it was over. They had just met each other, and they were both trying to figure out each other's character.

The three of them sat down as guests and hosts.

Seeing this, Lu Liankui ordered his son Lu Jiajun to come over to keep him company.

"We are destined to meet each other, Jiajun, please give a toast to Officer Cheng." After the food and drinks were served, Lu Liankui ordered his son.

"Officer Cheng, I respect you." Lu Jiajun looked young, with a slightly childish look on his face. Lu Liankui took him to meet guests, probably to train him.

"Master Lu, please." Cheng Mo didn't stand up. He just picked up the wine glass and touched it with the other party. In such an occasion, he would not lower himself to his family. What's more, he and Lu Liankui are colleagues, and they are not low in seniority in the Qinggang. .

A hint of displeasure flashed across Lu Liankui's face, but he was no longer the overbearing and domineering person he was two years ago, so he lowered his head and played with the wine glass and said: "Officer Cheng, I would like to take the liberty of asking, is there any threshold?"

"I don't dare, I'll take advantage of the master's spiritual power." Cheng Mo smiled faintly.

Lu Liankui's face suddenly became solemn.

This is the incision of the Qing Gang's "Panhaihai". It is a code word that only the gang members know. Ordinary people cannot answer the code word even if they answer it.

"May I ask Officer Cheng where to burn the incense?" Lu Liankui put down his wine glass and asked, cupping his fists.

"..." Cheng Mo reported his seniority according to the Qing Gang's incision. (I really can’t find out how to report my identity, especially the branch of the Green Gang where Cao Youshan’s prototype is located)

"It turns out you are Mr. Cao's disciple. Lu is disrespectful!" After hearing this, Lu Liankui immediately stood up and said respectfully.

"If Inspector Lu hadn't asked, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to report my family status." Cheng Mo smiled lightly, stood up and hugged his fists.

"Jiajun, call me Uncle Cheng." All Lu Liankui's dissatisfaction disappeared and he quickly ordered his son.

"Inspector Lu, Jiajun and I are about the same age, so let's talk about our own affairs." Cheng Mo quickly raised his hand to stop him. “Then call me Brother Cheng.”

"Brother Cheng." Lu Jiajun also understood. Cheng Mo's seniority in the Youth Gang is the same as his own. Isn't that his "uncle" generation? Inexplicably, he has an "uncle master". This pair of arrogant young people Speaking of which, no one is willing to do it. Since everyone says everyone should do their own thing, why should they refuse?

"Brother Jiajun, you're welcome."

Xu Qinghe on the side was dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that Cheng Mo was so senior in the Qing Gang that he was on an equal footing with Lu Liankui.

Lu Liankui and You Agen were of the same generation, and they both worshiped Huang Jinrong, and Huang Jinrong himself was not a tough person, so his disciples and disciples were naturally...

No wonder he didn't go to Baiyougan, they didn't need it at all.

Since everyone was helping, it was easier to talk. Lu Liankui became more enthusiastic and frequently encouraged people to drink at the wine table.

"Brother Amo, if you have anything to do in the concession, you can come to me. I, Lu Liankui, still have some face in the concession. Whether it is Boss Huang or Mr. Du, they will give me three points of face..." Lu Liankui patted him. Chest said to Cheng Mo.

It was obvious that he had drunk too much, and his relationship with Huang Jinrong was no longer what it used to be.

"Jiajun, please take care of your father. It's time for us to say goodbye." Seeing this, Cheng Mo knew it was time to leave. If he drank more, he would become really drunk.

"Brother Amo, you must come here often. Jiajun, send your brother Cheng off for me..."

Lu Jiajun sent Cheng Mo and Xu Qinghe out.

"Cheng Boss, the guest list of the Central Hotel..."

"There's no rush. There's no need to go directly to Inspector Lu for this matter. Just go to Lu Jiajun tomorrow," Cheng Mo said.

"You don't want people to know about your relationship with Inspector Lu?"

"What's my relationship with Inspector Lu?" Cheng Mo asked back.

"It doesn't matter. If there is a relationship, it's just a colleague relationship." Xu Qinghe quickly reached out and patted his mouth and said.

"Okay, let's go home." Cheng Mo took his bicycle, pedaled gracefully and got on, and quickly ran towards the road.

There is still something to gain tonight. At least in the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, Lu Liankui will not be his enemy for the time being.

Moreover, the next investigation will be much smoother for the Central Hotel’s target of concern.

……

The next day.

Cheng Mo went directly to the Central Hotel.

"I'm looking for Lu Jiajun, your manager." After making the request, he directly identified himself. The front desk had met Cheng Mo and was a little unconvinced. But when he saw Xu Qinghe and Cheng Mo coming together, he immediately understood that this young man in front of him It was Cheng Mo, the detective from the Political Section of the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau.

He was so frightened that he quickly led the two of them to the manager's office upstairs.

The manager of the Central Hotel is Lu Jiajun.

Lu Jiajun was a little surprised to see Cheng Mo arrive, but he still received them warmly and asked someone to make some good tea and bring it in.

After explaining his intention, Lu Jiajun did not refuse and directly ordered someone to send the guest register of the Central Hotel to the manager's office.

The residents in rooms opposite Room 301 and Room 305 of Dong'an Hotel are the subjects of Cheng Mo's investigation, but the ones opposite are meaningless.

It's not like Rite has clairvoyant eyes, so he can still monitor through several walls?

"Do you still have Westerners staying here?" Cheng Mo looked through it and saw the names of several foreigners.

"Yes, the conditions here are good, the prices are not very expensive, and we are in a bustling road. Foreigners also like our environment." Lu Jiajun explained.

"This guy named Frank has been here for more than half a month. Do you know what he does?" Cheng Mo saw a foreigner who had been here for half a month.

"He seems to be a reporter. He locks himself in his room every day and writes. He occasionally goes out to eat or buy something." The foreman in charge of the housekeeping department was called over by Lu Jiajun to answer Cheng Mo's questions.

"Which country?"

"American, the passport he registered at the front desk is from the United States. Although we have a lot of foreigners staying here, it's rare to see him stay for more than half a month. Usually it's just for a short stay of three to five days. If they live in Shanghai, they usually rent a single apartment outside, which is cheaper, and there are many such apartments in the concessions."

"Can I go into his room and take a look?"

"I'm afraid this won't work. He specifically requested that no one is allowed to enter his room without his ++ permission, otherwise he will sue us for invasion of privacy..."

"It's a bit strange that you value privacy so much but don't choose to rent a house outside..." Cheng Mo said to himself.

"Actually, foreigners all have these bad habits, especially reporters. They have a lot of rules. We usually listen to our guests and don't want to cause any trouble." Lu Jiajun explained.

Cheng Mo nodded, that was indeed the case. Even if Lu Liankui wasn't afraid of offending foreigners, it would still be troublesome. If he didn't do it, he would make his boss unhappy, and he would also lose the reputation of the hotel, which was not worth the gain.

After all, in the concession, foreigners are superior people and cannot be offended.

　I'm busy today, so I only have two updates, sorry!
