above the point of the knife

Chapter 100
The neon lights flickered, and the sound of melodious music was transmitted through the thick glass.

Every night in the Modern Hotel, there are such singing and dancing, rich and luxurious, incomparably charming and incomparably lively.

"Thank you, miss."

A gorgeous carriage stopped at the gate, and the old Baier who was driving reined in the reins, jumped out of the carriage, and opened the door.

A tall and graceful young White Russian woman stepped out of the carriage, paid the fare, and gave an extra tip. Looking at her face, she has an oriental outline. She is not a pure-bred Russian, she should be a mixed race.

The mixed race has inherited all the advantages of the Chinese and Russian races, with brown curly hair and a shawl, a playful pumpkin hat, long leather boots, slender thighs, and a delicate elf-like same face.

It's just mesmerizing.

"Hello, miss."

The enchanting woman smiled slightly at the door boy. The door boy felt like being electrocuted, his heart melted, and he lost his mind for a moment. Why is her smile so beautiful?

Hotel reception.

"Miss, what do you need?" the front desk staff asked.

"Please open a room for me." A mouthful of pure Russian came out of the woman's mouth, her voice was like a crisp lark.

"Okay, may I ask your name, miss, and do you have any requirements for the room?"

"Natasha, I want a suite facing south, preferably a suite with a view of the street." The woman named Natasha took out a pack of beautiful brand cigarettes from her bag, lit one, and nodded. Picking up the little orchid finger, sucking it up gracefully.

"Okay, wait a minute."

"Room 203, after a while, someone from us will come and take you there. If you need anything, just talk to the person who led you there."

"OK, thanks."

Natasha took the key with the house number, and soon a white Russian male waiter came over, helped her carry the small suitcase, and led her up to the second floor.

The swaying figure attracted the attention of many men in the inquiry.

"Miss Natasha, if you need anything, you can call the switchboard of the hotel, or come to me directly. I'm at the service desk on the second floor."

"Well, I see, thank you!" Natasha politely cleared the waiter out of the room, closed the door, and let out a long breath.

He tore off his headgear and took off his women's clothing.

Zhou Sen vented his breath, and quickly recovered his real body as a man. It turned out that this Natasha was disguised as a woman by him.

He is very familiar with the Modern Hotel, which is one of the most luxurious hotels in Bingcheng. The most important thing is that the telephone extension number in the room here can directly dial out the outside line.

He must find a safe place to make this call, of course, he will not make this call in his room.

Because it's too stupid, the current owner of Modern Hotel is Japanese, and there must be Japanese eyeliner here.

He quickly changed into a suit of waiter's clothes at the Modern Hotel, listened to the door, opened it and walked out.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response. He put on a hood, took out a hairpin, and flicked lightly, and the door opened. This kind of lock-picking technique was learned and mastered by Yuan himself.

The door opened, and it was pitch black inside, obviously no one lived there.

Zhou Sen took out a flashlight.

He continued to walk in, and after making sure that there was no one there, he walked to the phone next to the bed, and he picked it up.

He quickly dialed a number, which he saw from the underground monitoring point of the "Chunming" photo studio.

The phone number marked is the office of Arman, the deputy consul general of the Soviet Russian Consulate General in Bingcheng.

beep, beep, beep...

At this time of night, Arman was basically in the office. Zhou Sen naturally knew about it. Hirakawa Hideichiro and the others had recorded their monitoring.

Even though Zhou Sen just visited it superficially, he still remembered a lot of key information.

These are extremely useful.

"Hey?"

"Honey, I've already reserved a room at the Modern Hotel, come quickly." Zhou Sen said in an extremely charming female voice, and it was in Russian, and hung up immediately after speaking.

Arman was stunned when he received the call, and he was a little puzzled. When did he have a good friend, and he was still waiting for him in the room of the Modern Hotel?
This is a prank, right?

Arman hung up the phone, thinking to himself.

But soon he felt that something was wrong. His office phone number was not disclosed to the public.

Most people don't know the number. The Consulate General has a telephone number for external contact. If all calls are made to the office of the Deputy Consul General, can he still work? Answering the phone is too busy.

This is by no means a prank.

This call is very likely to be from that person, but why is it a woman, and it is still from the Modern Hotel.

This is probably to hide their identity.

He wanted to meet him, but there was no way to contact him. Thinking of this, Arman stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

To go or not to go.

If you don't go, it is very likely that the efforts made before this contact will be in vain, and the other party will not easily send out the temptation to meet again.

Go, the phone of the Consulate General was tapped. This is foreseeable, and the Japanese will not miss this channel for obtaining intelligence information.

Even if they were knocked out once, they would come a second time, and a third time. They would never be content with themselves. At that time, they would always find a scapegoat.

Soon, Arman made a decision. He was the Deputy Consul General of Soviet Russia in Ice City. Even if he was captured by the Japanese on the spot, they would at most deport him without threatening his life.

However, in this way, his mission in Ice City failed, and even many plans and layouts had to be started from scratch.

Since the other party used the method of "stealing love" to make an appointment with him, he obviously foresaw the possibility of the phone being tapped.

Time to adapt.

Before he became the deputy consul general, he had been working in the People's Committee of Internal Affairs. After so many years, he still hadn't lost his skills.

……

In the underground monitoring point of the "Chunming" photo studio, after Hideichiro Hirakawa intercepted the phone call, he immediately asked someone who knew Russian to translate it.

Knowing that it was Arman's old lover who was waiting for him in Madier's guest room, Hirakawa immediately felt that something was wrong.

He has been listening for so long, and he has never heard of Arman's old lover. This is definitely a sign of a connection.

Hirakawa Hideichiro was excited. This time, he might catch a big fish. The person who needs to be connected by Arman himself must be a senior spy from Soviet Russia.

He immediately picked up the phone and directly called Saburo Shibuya.

Saburo Shibuya was not there, and Secretary Ono answered the call.

The matter was serious. After receiving the call, Ono immediately went to make a call to Shibuya Saburo's place, using the special line of the military.

When Saburo Shibuya heard this, he immediately regained his energy, and quickly notified the Special High School to deploy manpower to catch an active one, and reported the relevant situation to Major General Qin Yansaburo, head of the Bingcheng Secret Service.

Since Alman is the Deputy Consul General of Soviet Russia in Ice City, he is a diplomat and enjoys diplomatic immunity. Unless there is conclusive evidence that he is engaged in intelligence and espionage work, he cannot move. No one can bear the responsibility for the conflict between the two countries.

Qin Yansaburo instructed Shibuya Saburo not to act rashly, to figure out whether it was an "old lover" rendezvous or an intelligence personnel meeting, if he made a mistake, he would lose his face internationally.

Shibuya Saburo also calmed down from the excitement, Qin Yansaburo's worry is justified, what if this is a trap?

The Soviet Russians set a trap for them, what should they do if they beat them back?
Make arrangements quickly, and make sure that Alman is engaged in espionage activities in the Madier Hotel before he can act, otherwise he must not move.

……

In the Modern Hotel, Zhou Sen had already returned to his room 203, ordered a bottle of red wine, and sat in front of the window, looking at the neon lights and the bright street scene of Central Avenue.

A few minutes later, there was a rush of footsteps coming from the door. Judging from the direction, it should be towards the room where Zhou Sen called just now.

The reaction speed of the Japanese is fast enough.

To act so quickly, there must be their spies in the Madier Hotel, otherwise it would be impossible to come so quickly.

It seems that the contact tonight is obviously impossible, but this is also within his foresight, and now he can only adapt to the situation.

dong dong...

"Who, I'm taking a shower..."

After a few minutes, Zhou Sen put on a bathrobe and opened the door. The waiter who brought her in just now stood at the door. Behind him was a Japanese man in a suit, who should be a manager or something.

"I'm sorry, Miss Natasha, can you provide your identification, we need to check it?"

"What are you looking at? Didn't I check it when I registered at the front desk?" Zhou Sen caught the Japanese peeking under his collar, quickly pulled it up, covered it, and shouted angrily.

"Sorry, we are looking for a dangerous person, please cooperate."

"Wait a minute." Zhou Sen snorted coldly, turned around and fetched his ID card.

The manager carefully looked at Zhou Sen three times, and didn't dare to read any more, and then gave back the certificate: "I'm sorry, Miss Natasha, to disturb your rest. I wish you a pleasant stay in the Modern Hotel!"

Zhou Sen snorted coldly, glared at the other party, put away his documents, and slammed the door directly.

But he had rehearsed this scene many times in his heart. Fortunately, he played well just now, and he didn't let the other party see his flaws.

As for the certificate, most people really can't see it. Besides, he changed it with a real one. The technique of "falsifying" is actually not difficult, the only thing he thinks is difficult is that he doesn't know it.

Looking at his posture, Arman should be on his way to the Madier Hotel.

He should not be able to see him, or even meet him, the Japanese are just waiting to catch a current one.

It’s just that he is in danger now. Once Arman doesn’t come, or if he comes and leaves without contacting anyone, then the people staying at the Modern Hotel tonight, especially the women, will become the suspects of the Japanese.

Of course, he has already considered this situation. Tonight, he can't leave and can only stay in the Modern Hotel for one night.

This is also the risk he needs to take. Next, it depends on how Alman contacts and finds a way to contact himself.

The ball is kicked to Arman.

Zhou Sen is in urgent need of an assistant now, it is too difficult to fight alone, and there are many things that can't be done at the same time.

This caused his own predicament. If he had an assistant, he could pass on the news on the way Arman came. He even only needed to show his face before going back.
