You were allowed to marry into No. 76 family, and you were promoted to director?

Chapter 74 Transaction [First Order]

Although Zhao Xuan had been in scanning mode, the workload was still very heavy due to such aimless investigation.

But when he thought of the film in John's hand, Zhao Xuan could only grit his teeth and take the people from the intelligence department to check all the residential areas and factories on Pétain Road.

It has to be said that through the joint action of the three parties, all the information about John has been thoroughly investigated.

This also greatly reduced Zhao Xuan's workload.

Because of the interpersonal relationship investigation, John didn't know anyone in Magic.

Therefore, he cannot enter residential areas such as Petain Road and Gongguan Road. Even if he enters, he will quickly be discovered by patrolling security guards.

Then the area Zhao Xuan needs to investigate is very limited.

The factories on the Pétain Road side are much more complicated than those on Gongguan Road.

After all, over there, the distinctive arcade-style buildings, various kinds of shops, Western-style building streets, and Longguo retro pavilions, platforms, towers, pavilions and corridors are neatly arranged in two rows.

It is not difficult to hide someone in a place like this.

However, these places are easy to investigate, but on Gongguan Road, the only place that is difficult to investigate is Huizhong Hotel.

Thinking of this restaurant, Zhao Xuan remembered that Dao Ya would also be there today.

Since he had promised Ding Moqun to take good care of Dao Ya, and the task of searching for John could not be completed in one or two days, Zhao Xuan thought that after finishing the investigation here, he might as well go to Huizhong Hotel to rest for a night.

Anyway, what Ding Moqun said was that they were not allowed to search while Dao Ya was still in Huizhong Hotel, but he did not forbid Zhao Xuan to stay there.

With the scanning mode and perspective, Zhao Xuan didn't need to search room by room at all. He just had to enter Huizhong Hotel.

Throughout the morning and afternoon, the searches by the 76th Intelligence, Operations, and Telecommunications departments did not yield any results.

Not to mention the Military Police and the Special Higher Police, they also thought that John would not be outside, but they still searched him thoroughly.

Towards evening, Zhao Xuan gathered the people from the Intelligence Department on Gongguan Road.

"Chief, I have led people to check Gongguan Road, but still can't find any trace of John."

Zhao Xuan responded, but he didn’t find anything on Pétain Road either.

With Edith's scanning mode, Zhao Xuan basically conducted a carpet search, so Pétain Road could be temporarily excluded.

Seeing Zhao Xuan's eyes fall on a tall hotel not far away, Zhou Mei swallowed, stretched out her hand to pull Zhao Xuan's sleeve and said:
"Chief, let's not cause any trouble. The personnel composition in there is too complicated."

“There are British, American, French, Chinese and Japanese ones.”

"We are already under a lot of pressure to be sent to the French Concession for a search. If something goes wrong again, it will be difficult for the director to deal with it."

Zhao Xuan looked at Huizhong Hotel calmly, raised his hand and patted Zhou Mei on the shoulder and said:
"I'm going to stay at Huizhong Hotel tonight. You can stay nearby with your brothers, or somewhere else."

Zhou Mei looked at Zhao Xuan's departing back, sneered and shook her head:

"Good words can't persuade a damn devil."

"A place like Huizhong Hotel can't be searched just like that!"

However, Zhou Mei did not go anywhere else. After all, Zhao Xuan was Ding Moqun's nephew-in-law.

If trouble really breaks out, Zhou Mei will have to get Zhao Xuan out.

As for what to do next, that is the business of the Japanese and Ding Moqun. Anyway, as long as Zhao Xuan doesn't die under her nose, it's fine. She can't afford this responsibility.

Zhou Mei found a building opposite Huizhong Hotel and brought her people to the room with the widest view.

After Zhou Mei looked through the glass at the situation inside Huizhong Hotel with a telescope, she was slightly startled:
"So Dao Ya is in there. No wonder Zhao Xuan went to Huizhong Hotel to spend the night. It seems that Ding Moqun instructed him to do so."

After breathing a sigh of relief, Zhou Mei arranged for the people on shift to take a break.

Running around outside all day and being careful about everything is a huge drain on your energy.

In Huizhong Hotel, Dao Ya was following two foreign bearded men and acting as their translator.

After Zhao Xuan came in, he confirmed the identities of the two foreigners under scanning mode.

Wow, Dao Ya is indeed a little genius. She can even act as an interpreter for the Americans and the French.

Zhao Xuan only knows English and German, which is thanks to the foundation of his original body.

But with Edith around, Zhao Xuan could understand even if he couldn't speak the languages ​​of other countries.

Dao Ya, who was translating for two foreigners, noticed Zhao Xuan's arrival with bright eyes.

Seeing the little girl winking at him with a smile on her face, Zhao Xuan smiled slightly, nodded to Dao Ya, and then found a seat and sat down.

Huizhong Hotel not only provides accommodation for guests, but also has Chinese and Western restaurants, a dance hall and an open-air cinema.

The place where Zhao Xuan is located is the Western food department.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Xuan came here was because Dao Ya was here translating for foreigners.

Most of her classmates and teachers are also here. After all, the Chinese restaurant department rarely needs translators like them.

It has to be said that from ancient times to the present, many transactions and cooperation have been negotiated over the dinner table.

After finding a seat by the window and sitting down, Zhao Xuan only needed to use scanning mode from the left, right and front three directions to get a comprehensive understanding of the place.

With the addition of the dialysis mode, Zhao Xuan can basically scan the people and objects inside through the wall without having to sit still.

It's a pity that the dialysis mode is only ten meters away, otherwise Zhao Xuan could complete the search outside the hotel. After confirming that there was no trace of John on this floor, Zhao Xuan was about to order something to eat when a crisp voice rang out:

"Brother-in-law, why are you here too?"

"You finished your work?"

Dao Ya ran over excitedly, sat down at the dining table, propped her chin with both hands and nodded repeatedly:

"Today's mission is completed. I will report to the teacher later."

"Brother-in-law, you haven't told me why you're here? Are you going to do your work here?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and shook his head:
"My uncle is worried about you being outside alone, so he asked me to watch you."

Dao Ya pouted and wanted to retort, but looking at Zhao Xuan's smile, Dao Ya found that her brother-in-law seemed to smile more only when facing her.

Of course, this situation only happened not long ago. In the past, Zhao Xuan had a stern face all day long, as if everyone owed him a million or eight hundred thousand.

Thinking of this, Dao Ya felt slightly proud. It seemed that she had a good relationship with her brother-in-law!
After getting up and sitting next to Zhao Xuan, Dao Ya whispered:
"Brother-in-law, these foreigners are so interesting. They can clearly understand each other, but they still need me to help translate."

Zhao Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and quickly found the figures of the two foreigners and scanned them again using the scanning mode.

But unfortunately, the American and the French guy did not have any special identities, and the scanning results showed that they were just businessmen.

However, Zhao Xuan, who knew the flaws in the scanning mode, did not relax his vigilance against these two people.

The scanning mode did not indicate the specific identities of the two people, which means that they are indeed businessmen, but it does not mean that there are no other people behind them.

Perhaps, these two people were just pushed to the surface to discuss the deal.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan seemed somewhat interested, Dao Ya continued:

"I couldn't understand a lot of what these two people said. It felt like they were speaking in riddles."

"But it seems they all came for a sum of money from a Swiss bank."

After listening to Dao Ya's words, Zhao Xuan nodded slightly and said calmly:

"Don't mind your own business, just do your job."

"By the way, are you going back tonight?"

Dao Ya shook her head:
"I'm not going back. I called home and Aunt Liu said she would tell my uncle."

"Brother-in-law, are you staying here tonight too? Have you booked a room?"

Zhao Xuan was naturally going to live here, and now he just used the scanning mode to take a look at the situation on this floor.

If John is really brave enough to come to Huizhong Hotel, he will definitely stay there.

Go to the floor where you are staying and take a look, you might find something unexpected.

"Not yet, I'll go book one later."

Dao Ya smiled and said:

"Brother-in-law, the hotel is fully booked today. Where can you make a reservation?"

"Don't bother. You can stay in my room. My classmates and I can stay in one room. It's fine for one night."

After that, Dao Ya took out a key from her handbag and handed it to Zhao Xuan:
"Here, put it away."

"Brother-in-law, you probably haven't had dinner yet, why don't you come and have dinner with us? The teacher should have finished her dinner, so let's go to the Chinese restaurant."

Looking at Dao Ya's expectant eyes, Zhao Xuan also wanted to walk around and look around.

The Chinese food department happened to be on the other side. If I went over there and walked through the corridor, I could use dialysis mode and scanning mode to thoroughly search this floor.

"It's not appropriate for me to go to your teacher-student dinner."

Listening to Dao Ya's thoughts, Zhao Xuan chose to decline tactfully.

Sure enough, Dao Ya snorted, took Zhao Xuan's arm and pulled him up:

"Let's go. There's nothing inappropriate about that. I can introduce my classmates and teachers to my brother-in-law."

"You drive to the school to pick me up every day. Many classmates know you. Let's go!"

After being dragged through the corridor by Dao Ya, Zhao Xuan searched thoroughly but still found no trace of John. It seemed that he had to go to the accommodation floor.

If John can't be found in Huizhong Hotel, then Zhao Xuan really doesn't know where to find him for the time being?

Magic City, Japanese-occupied area, gendarmerie headquarters.

In the conference room, after reading today’s investigation reports from the Special High Police, the Military Police, and No. 76.

Koji Iida, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced at Ichiro Matsumoto, the chief of the Special High Section.

"Mr. Matsumoto, we must find John as soon as possible. What he has in his hand concerns the reputation of the empire."

"If those things were obtained by the Military Control Commission or the Red Party, the consulate would face increasing pressure from international public opinion, which the shogunate would never allow."

Wearing a gray-green military uniform, with a white face and no beard, the forty-something Matsumoto Ichiro hurriedly stood up:
"Hi!"
