Episode 93 Bangkok Spy(2/2)
The other party is a male voice:
"Savatiko."
"Aru," Fang Guimin said casually in French, "has Mr. Pierre arrived?"
The other party's operator was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding. The operator muttered something in Thai, meaning that he was sorry and didn't understand what the gentleman said, and whether he could speak Thai... something like that.
Fang Guimin continued to pretend to be French, rolled his tongue, and asked in very stiff Chinese:
"So...can you...speak...Chinese?"
The operator understood this time. But he also answered in the same blunt Chinese:
"No."
Fang Guimin frowned and continued to ask in Chinese:
"Mr. Pierre...have you arrived?"
"No."
I'm sure, this operator doesn't speak Chinese.
Fang Guimin pretended to be reluctant and asked in blunt Thai:
“Your hotel… doesn’t speak French… doesn’t speak Chinese… I don’t speak Thai… and I don’t speak very well…”
The operator was happy and understood now. He said respectfully:
"It's okay sir, you can speak slowly in Thai, I can understand you."
Fang Guimin took a deep breath, calmed his thoughts, and began to ask the most important question:
"But... a few days ago... I called... your... obviously can speak Chinese... why can't you speak it today?"
"A few days ago? No, I'm the only one here. How can I speak Chinese?" The operator thought for a moment and smiled, "Sir, did you call on June 5th? Yes, that day
...that day...well, I was sick that day, so I asked my brother to take my place. His Chinese is very good, haha...but, he is not doing the same kind of work as me."
It’s confirmed again. There is only one operator at the White Elephant Hotel, and on June 5th, the day of the incident, there was indeed a man who spoke Chinese very well who came to change the shift. It is said that he was his brother. Very good, so far everything
All right.
Fang Guimin also smiled and said:
"Yes, I remember him. Your brother is very good... Your brother is really good at Chinese... Haha, is he a college student majoring in Chinese?"
"That's not true," the young man on the switchboard said with a very proud tone, "my brother is a Chinese translator. He works in the palace guard and is the most loyal guard of His Majesty the King."
"oh……"
Fang Guimin was very surprised and laughed twice. He wanted to ask "What is your brother's name?" but he knew that this would alert the enemy. There must not be many Chinese translators in the palace guard, so he could find one himself.
He then just pretended to ask "Is Mr. Pierre here?" After some contact with the operator, he naturally couldn't find this fictitious "Mr. Pierre". Fang Guimin hung up the phone and left the house.
After leaving the hotel, I walked around the street again to make sure no one was following me, and then returned to the small hotel where I stayed.
…
In the hotel, several people closed the door and discussed it, and they all felt that it went well. After all, the original hypothesis was confirmed in one round. There is indeed a problem with this White Elephant Hotel. Because it happened to be the day when Mr. Xiang received a strange phone call from Bangkok and returned the call.
The operator at the White Elephant Hotel was replaced by someone who was proficient in Chinese.
In addition, the identity of the temporary operator has been determined - the translator of the palace guard.
When they arrived here, several people were a little strange. They also knew that as the palace guards, both officers and soldiers were very loyal. How could they be bribed so easily? Even Dongchang wanted to buy off the King of Siam's guards.
Being an officer is not that easy either.
No matter what, we have to find that person first.
Time was running out, and without further ado, on the afternoon of that day, another agent named Zhang Delu put on the uniform of a Siamese officer, loaded up his ID, and went to the Siam Palace Guard camp to inquire.
The palace guard was an important area, so the guards naturally refused to let him enter.
Zhang Delu smiled kindly and asked the guard:
"Our commander is gambling with others and is eager to use the money. Let me come and ask for a debt from one of your officers. This officer of yours owes our commander some money. By the way, what is his name?... Oops, his name.
Forgot..."
Although the palace guards were all arrogant, Zhang Delu was wearing an officer's uniform after all. The guards at the door did not dare to be too arrogant and had to ask patiently:
"Then what does he do? What is his position?"
Zhang Delu said:
"Yes, it seems to be a translator, yes, a Chinese translator!"
The guard laughed:
"Oh, it's Captain Kunji Dipan. It must be him. He is the only Chinese translator here. But he is not here today. He is on vacation today and is at home."
Zhang Delu immediately became extremely anxious:
"Oh... Our commander told me that I can't be spared without money... Brother, please help me, tell me where his home is, and I will go find him!"
The guard hesitated, feeling very embarrassed.
Zhang Delu looked extremely anxious, groping around on his body, and finally took out half a box of cigarettes.
The guard stared at the half-pack of cigarettes with greedy eyes.
Zhang Delu chuckled and quietly stuffed half a box of cigarettes into his hand.
The guard blushed, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, took the cigarette and put it in his pocket:
"Thank you, sir."
The guard approached him and quietly told him the address of Captain Kunji Dipan. Then, the young man said hesitantly:
"Sir, please don't say it was me who said it..."
Zhang Delu said in his heart: Of course I won’t say it. I also want to ask you not to say it!
He patted the guard on the shoulder and smiled:
"Don't worry, I won't tell you!"
…
Zhang Delu returned to the small hotel and explained the situation. The four of them were very excited and immediately decided to go to the guy's house to find him after dark.
Now it is certain that Captain Kunji Dipan is one of the people who directly participated in framing Mr. Xiang, or at least was bribed by Mr. Xiang's enemies. With any luck, the mastermind behind the scenes can be found out from him.
