"Master, Zhang Haifeng is finished, this is today's newspaper, you can take a look." When he got up early in the morning, the housekeeper Xie Bicheng came in with a copy of "Social News" printed today.

Yuan Xian replied vaguely, took the newspaper from Xie Bicheng's hand, and sure enough, a news item was published in a prominent position in the middle of the first page of the newspaper.

Zhang Haifeng, a criminal who has been wanted for more than a year, was arrested, and the main culprit was Hao Rong, the inspector of the patrol house on Petain Road in the French Concession......

In addition, there is also a section of Ming, Zhang Haifeng is one of the masterminds behind the shooting at the entrance of the Daguang Cinema on Christmas Eve.

The co-defendant Black Tiger and his six bandits were all arrested.

After reading this, Yuan Xian took a breath of cold air and sat there for a long time without coming back to his senses.

"Lao Xie, I asked you to find a private detective to investigate the source of the letter, but can there be any results?" After a long time, Yuan Xian asked Xie Bicheng.

"Not yet, Inspector Wu said, there are very few clues in the light envelope and literally, if you want to find the mastermind behind the scenes, I'm afraid you still need to give him some time?" Xie Bi became enlightened.

"Hmph, it's really useless, I'm afraid that the people behind this scene have been arrested, and he hasn't figured out who it is, right?" Yuan Xian snorted angrily.

"Master, do you want to continue to investigate?"

"Tell Wu Wencai that if there is no result every day, he won't want to take the commission later." Yuan Xian commanded.

"Yes."

……

Chen Miao went back to Mingyueli on the eighteenth to live, and when he got up in the morning, he saw Lao Cai sweeping the floor in the yard, and greeted: "Lao Cai, are you still used to living here?" ”

"Habit, third brother, early, although it is much cleaner here than listening to the snow building." Lao Cai said busily.

"Well, you can get used to it, and in the future, when Xueqin gets married, you can live under one roof again." Chen Miao smiled.

"Hehe, it's been three years, and I can't hear that little girl Qiao'er practice her voice every morning, and I'm really not used to it."

"Did you make breakfast?" Chen Miao asked, "If you do it, Xiao Qi and I won't go out to eat?" ”

"It's done, I cooked porridge, and white steamed buns, I'm home alone, and I can't eat so much, but I know that you and Xiao Qi came back last night and made more in the morning." Lao Cai said busily.

"Cheng, then the two of us will have breakfast and then go to work." Chen Miao smiled, living on Liang Xueqin's side, and also eating breakfast outside, it was cold, they got up early, and it was unrealistic to let the two women get up to make breakfast.

"Lao Cai, this vegetable porridge is good, with this small pickle and white flour steamed bun, appetizing!"

"Third brother, if you like it, if you want to eat it in the future, just tell me Lao Cai, don't I may not be able to do it well, if you cook porridge, I dare to say it, I won't lose to anyone." Lao Cai was praised and overjoyed.

"Okay, I won't trouble you in the future." Chen Miao nodded.

……

Xiao Qi drove Chen Miao to No. 76, he ordered it himself, and then disappeared, no one cared about what he was doing, no one asked, he was only responsible for Chen Miao alone.

Looking at the calendar, it was December 28, 1939, and there were three days left, even if the year of the Western calendar had passed, there would be only one week left in his wedding date.

Time flies!

Chen Miao looked at the calendar on the wall and was sighing with emotion, when suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

It was Wu Tianlin who came in, wearing a leather hat, his face was red from the cold, obviously he had just come from outside, and after coming in, he went directly to the stove.

The winter in Shanghai is very cold, and if there is no charcoal stove for heating in the house, there is really no way to treat people, and if you sit there for a while, people can freeze, and it is useless to wear more.

Especially when Wu Tianlin's cold air came in, Chen Miao felt that the temperature in the room had dropped several degrees at once.

"Drink some ginger tea to warm up."

"Thank you, third brother." Wu Tianlin gratefully took the enamel jar and drank more than half of it in one go, "Third brother, I'm here to report, this is Secretary Chu's inquiry record, you can take a look." ”

He pulled out a roll of notes from his pocket.

Chen Miao stretched out his hand to take it, and while walking to his position, he looked at it, and the first time he mentioned the hall, he had a general understanding of the situation.

Whether you can talk about the substantive issue, it depends on how to ask, whether the other party is worthy of cooperation or not.

Chu Qingxuan explained some basic information very clearly, such as her past resume, what she has done, and what positions she has held.

These are not the point, the point is her relationship with Ding Mohan.

"Secretary Chu said that she met Ding Mohan at the dance again, oh no, Director Ding, she didn't know that Director Ding had served as the principal of Minguang Middle School before, so their teacher-student relationship was actually not at all, but since then, Director Ding has warmly pursued her, frequently inviting her to eat, dance, and watch movies, and they ...... for the first time."

"Stop, did you take the initiative to ask these questions, or did she say them herself?" Chen Miao raised his hand and stopped.

"I just asked her when she and Director Ding started, and she began to say, we can't stop it, the whole process has been recorded, this is the summary version, if you want to hear it, I'll call someone to send it over immediately?" Wu Tianlin said.

"You are not allowed to talk about this tape, just treat it as if it doesn't exist, and you can't understand it." Chen Miao suddenly ordered sternly.

"Third brother......" Wu Tianlin looked puzzled.

"Director Ding's family is a vinegar jar, if she knows, how much trouble will she make, don't you understand?" Chen Miao explained.

"Yes, third brother, I know, I promise not to let the third party know, I will lock it in the safe when I go back." Wu Tianlin was excited, and immediately understood what Chen Miao meant.

"Well, this record is placed here with me, what is the next step, wait for my order, remember, without my order, no one will be allowed to see Chu Qingxuan, no one will believe it." Chen Miao ordered.

"Yes, third brother." Wu Tianlin nodded, "By the way, third brother, Chu Qingxuan asked to call home to report safety, do you see this?" ”

"Yes, but what to say and what not to say, you have to make it clear to her, otherwise, she knows the consequences." Chen Miao thought for a moment and nodded.

After all, Chu Qingxuan's parents are celebrities, and they are still the objects of Wang's struggle, and before the final disposition, as long as the person is in control, there will still be preferential treatment.

"Understood." Wu Tianlin said hesitantly, "Third brother, is there one more thing?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Today is Chief He in the funeral parlor to set up a mourning hall, I want to go to condolences and send a wreath, after all, he has sheltered me for a period of time, and he is my old chief."

"This matter, it should be, go ahead, and by the way, help me send a wreath, and I won't go." Chen Miao nodded.

……

In the public concession, Kang Tuo Brain Road, Wanguo Funeral Home, the bodies of He Yaozhong and Feng Guozhen are placed in the largest mourning hall of the funeral home for relatives and friends to come to mourn!

In front of the mourning hall, there are many people wearing white-headed filial piety clothes, He Yaozhong is not low in the Qing Gang, his wife, children, and apprentices and grandchildren are strictly counted, it is really a lot, and he knelt on the ground.

Wang Xiufeng came to mourn on behalf of the central government of the Wang family.

As soon as he came, he was surrounded by He Yaozhong's disciples and grandchildren, murderous, looking like he wanted to eat people, everyone had a fast and slow machine pinned to their waists, and they had a posture of doing it if they didn't agree.

Headed by two disciples of He Yaozhong, Ding San and Li Xieyu.

As soon as He Yaozhong died, all the troops under him were in the hands of these two people, and in order to invite people to win people's hearts and control the troops, they both had to stand up and ask for an explanation for He Yaozhong.

Ma Hetu, who shot and killed, no longer knew where to flee, he was Wang Tianhuan's adjutant, and his subordinates committed crimes, and the chief could not escape the blame.

"Vice Minister Wang, we have a request, call Wang Tianhuan and kowtow to my dead master and Guozhen brothers, so that they don't leave with resentment!" Ding San made a request to Wang Xiufeng with a murderous face, and the disciples and grandchildren of He Yaozhong around him also surrounded him one after another, surrounding Wang Xiufeng in the middle, and put their hands on the grab handle on their waists one by one.

"Ding San, Brigade Commander Ding, I understand your feelings, but in this matter, do we have to calm down and don't be impulsive."

"What is impulsive, it's good that we didn't ask him to resist his fate, just come and kowtow to our master, isn't this too much?"

"yes, is that too much?"

"Li'er is this principle, but you can't force others to do it like this......"

"What do you mean by forcing him to do it, he should come over and kowtow to apologize, if Wang Tianhuan doesn't come to kowtow today, we will go to No. 76 to find Ding Mohan, Ding Mohan doesn't agree, we will go to Mr. Wang!" Ding San said loudly.

"You guys are crazy, and you still want to go to Mr. Wang?" Wang Xiufeng was frightened, these Qiu Ba really kicked their noses in the face, if this made trouble in front of Wang's family, no one would be able to eat well.

"We just want justice, and if you don't agree, we'll take it ourselves." Ding Sanyi patted the fast and slow machine on his waist, and said very arrogantly.

"Ding San, don't come nonsense, do you know what the consequences of doing this are?" Wang Xiufeng snorted inwardly, he knew that he would not come to condole, and find an excuse to let others come.

"Vice Minister Wang, we also know that you can't be the master, in this matter, you still tell Director Ding or Director Lin, and let the person in charge give us an answer, anyway, if you don't agree to our conditions, then don't blame us for making a big fuss." Ding San shouted loudly, "His adjutant Wang Tianhuan killed our master, even if this matter has nothing to do with him, shouldn't he kowtow in front of the spirit of the dead?" Brothers, are you right? ”

"Ding Luzuo is right, call Wang Tianhuan over and kowtow in front of the spirit of the master's seat!"

"If we don't kowtow and make amends, we will never give up."

"Kowtow, kowtow ......"

One agreed, and the people at the bottom began to coax, and the entire mourning hall was full of one voice.

Wang Xiufeng's face turned pale in an instant, this matter has developed so far, it is completely beyond his control.

"Vice Minister Wang, we don't embarrass you, and ask you to go back and tell Director Ding and the above that we and thousands of officers and soldiers of the 6th Division of the Salvation Army are waiting here for an answer!" Ding San said viciously.

"You, you're going to rebel!" Wang Xiufeng trembled angrily.

Ding San and the others were not afraid at all, so they just watched Wang Xiufeng coldly and left the mourning hall after mourning.
