Qian Hao waited in the phone booth for a few minutes and began to feel uneasy.

I thought, this place is only a few minutes away from the hotel, and it would only take about ten minutes to go back and forth. If I go to the hotel to get the suitcase back, I can definitely get back here before Su Xiwu's people arrive.

But he was afraid of danger if he went alone, as he would be doomed if caught. He also couldn't bear to part with the money in the suitcase. He hesitated and was very conflicted. Finally, he thought of a solution.

He walked out of the phone booth and saw several passers-by coming towards him. He saw one of them had patches on his clothes and was obviously a poor man. Qian Hao thought, this must be him.

He stepped forward to stop the passerby and said:

"Do you want to make ten dollars? If you do, do me a favor."

The passers-by were very surprised when they heard this, and thought, ten yuan is enough to cover his family's expenses for a month, is there really such a good thing?

He hesitated and said:

"Of course I want to, but I don't know if I can do it."

"It's just an errand. Go to room 201 of the Jiu Sheng Hotel and bring my suitcase here. Then the ten yuan will be yours."

Qian Hao raised the ten-yuan bill in his hand and said.

Passersby's eyes lit up. Is it that simple?

"it is good."

After he finished speaking, he took the key Qian Hao gave him and walked towards Xingsheng Hotel.

In the Xingsheng Hotel, the proprietress was overjoyed looking at the photo on the reward notice in the newspaper. Why did this person look like a guest named Zhang Lu who stayed in the hotel? The more she looked, the more similar he looked. She called over a waiter and asked him to look at the photo, and the waiter also thought it looked very similar.

There were only a few customers in the store, but I still had an impression of what they looked like.

The proprietress had an idea in mind. She asked the waiter to check whether the guest was still in the room, while she impatiently picked up the phone and called the number on the reward notice.

The call was connected immediately. The proprietress first asked whether the reward on the reward notice was real. After receiving an affirmative answer, she immediately reported that someone who looked like Qian Hao was found in her hotel.

The other party was obviously very interested and asked:

“Is this person still in your store?”

At this time, the waiter came over and told the proprietress that the guest was not in the room, but his suitcase was still there, so he must have gone out for something.

The proprietress quickly reported the situation to the other party.

The other party said:

"Okay, I got it. We'll be here right away. Don't alarm him if he comes back."

The proprietress agreed and hung up the phone, feeling nervous and excited. If this person was really Qian Hao, she would be rich. That would be ten gold bars!

So she became very alert and watched the people coming in and out at the counter.

At this moment she saw a stranger walk into the hotel, look around, then walk past her counter and head up the stairs to the second floor.

She knew that this person was not a guest of her hotel, and she felt that he looked a little suspicious, so she signaled the waiter to secretly follow him to see what this person was doing.

After a while, the waiter came down to report that this person had entered room 201, which was the room of the man who looked like Qian Hao.

Before the proprietress could react, the stranger walked down the stairs with a suitcase in his hand.

The proprietress was shocked and immediately understood that this man must be sent by Qian Hao to pick up the box. Qian Hao would definitely not come back, so she couldn't let this man go. She had to hold him back and wait for the police to come. Maybe she could catch Qian Hao through this man. If she let him go, there would be no hope of getting the ten gold bars.

She immediately asked the waiter to stop the man and said:

"You can't leave. Who told you to take the guest's box? If you don't explain clearly, I will think you are stealing."

The stranger was startled and said quickly:

"Someone nearby asked me to pick up the suitcase. He gave me the key. He must be a tourist here. How could he be stealing?"

When the proprietress heard that Qian Hao was nearby, she thought that she could not let a stranger go.

"I don't believe it. Why didn't he come and get it himself, and let you get it?"

The stranger thought about it and realized that it was indeed strange. It was only a few minutes' walk, but he didn't come to pick it up himself and spent ten yuan to ask him to come and pick it up. This person might not be a good person and he might have been cheated.

He was a little flustered and said:

“I don’t know why, but he asked me to help him get the box and give it to him, and he would give me ten yuan.

How about this, I'll put the box down, and I don't want to earn this ten yuan anymore, so just let me go."

He obviously didn't want to get into trouble, so he decided to get out of it as soon as possible. It was not easy to earn these ten yuan.

There was no way the proprietress would let him go like that. This man knew Qian Hao's whereabouts and the ten gold bars were depending on him. She would definitely drag him to the police.

Why haven’t the damn police arrived yet!

The proprietress and the stranger were arguing for a few minutes. Finally, two black cars arrived in front of the door. Several people got out of the cars. Leading them was Yu Dehai. After receiving a call from the proprietress saying that Qian Hao had been found, he rushed over at lightning speed. It took him only about ten minutes.

After he found out the situation, he took the stranger into the car and drove towards the telephone booth he mentioned.

A minute later, they arrived at the telephone booth. The stranger pointed there and said:

“That’s where I met him.”

Yu Dehai immediately ordered everyone in the car to get off and look for Qian Hao separately, but after searching the area, they still couldn't find Qian Hao.

It turned out that one minute before Yu Dehai arrived at the phone booth, Qian Hao got into Yuan Ye's car. At this time, Qian Hao was in Yuan Ye's moving car and was scolded by Yuan Ye. He lowered his head and dared not say a word.

On the way here, Yuan Ye had a vague feeling of uneasiness. He was worried that if he was late, something might happen to Qian Hao, so he stepped on the accelerator and finally arrived a few minutes earlier than the original schedule of 20 minutes.

When he passed by Jiusheng Hotel, he paid special attention and found the security department's car parked outside. He heard Yu Dehai's voice at the hotel gate, asking a man about Qian Hao's whereabouts. The man tremblingly explained that he met him at a nearby telephone booth. The man in the top hat gave him ten yuan and asked him to go to the hotel to get the box.

Yuan Ye knew that Qian Hao, this idiot, would never be able to part with his box.

The bad news is that Qian Hao has been discovered. Fu Quan'an and the Japanese can now be sure that Qian Hao is still in Shanghai, and the inspection will be more stringent.

The good news is that Qian Hao has not been caught yet. Fortunately, I hurried over, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Yuan Ye drove quickly past the Jiusheng Hotel and when he arrived at the telephone booth, he saw Qian Hao looking towards the direction of the hotel, looking at his watch from time to time with an anxious look.

Qian Hao was extremely anxious at this moment. The man had been gone for ten minutes and should have come back by now. Why was he still nowhere to be seen? Was he in trouble? Or did he just run away with the box?

As he was thinking, a black car stopped beside him and the person in the driver's seat shouted at him:

"Hurry up and get in the car, otherwise it will be too late."
