Chapter 158: Hongmen Banquet
Seagull Photo Studio.
Chen Miao handed over this task to Wu Tianlin, how many photo studios named "Seagull" there are on the beach, no one knows, this matter has to be investigated.
So, it's hard work.
However, Yuan Qiu and Wu Sen have known each other for a maximum of three months, and Yuan Qiu has only been working at the White Rose Cabaret for more than three months, and there is a safe space in the area where ordinary people live.
Moving around a familiar area gives you a sense of security, which is why many people have never stepped out of their own little world in their lives.
Everyone has a range of activities, and it is regular, even if it is a beggar who has no fixed place, he has his own territory.
Knowing the places that Yuanqiu frequents, you can narrow down what you are looking for.
"Tianlin, let your men divide into two groups, one group goes to the places that Yuan Qiu often goes, and the other group goes to the shops and department stores in Shanghai where you can sell film and photographic paper, and the photo studio must buy these two things."
"Understood, third brother, I'll send someone down tomorrow." Wu Tianlin agreed.
"I found it, don't make a noise, just come back and tell me."
"Yes."
"Let's go back." Chen Miao gave a faint order, the purpose of coming to see Lan'er tonight has been achieved, and he got the key clues he wanted.
……
Chen Miao arranged two lines, Han Laosi's one was the bright line, which was used to attract Wu Sen's attention, and the dark line was the clue obtained from Miss Lan'er.
He didn't believe it, and he couldn't find Wu Sen's whereabouts yet.
It doesn't matter which line you find.
It is also crucial to determine Wu Sen's identity and whether he is really the murderer of Ji Yunqing, he doesn't want to wronged people.
But he also hoped that Wu Sen had already taken Yuan Qiu away and flew away, so that even if he found evidence and failed to catch anyone in the end, it would be the same.
At least the conscience will be better.
He took out the sketches of Lu Laoqi and Lan'er and compared them, except for the eyes, he found that there was still a difference between the two sketches, if this was a person, then he must be a master of makeup and disguise, and it would be even more difficult to find this person!
Chen Miao sighed.
"Third brother, little seventh brother is here." Chen Miao was distracted, and the cold Lu Wei approached and whispered in his ear.
Lu Wei is several years older than Xiao Qi, but Xiao Qi is the person next to Chen Miao, so Lu Wei respects Xiao Qi very much and calls Xiao Qi "Little Seventh Brother".
"Where?"
"I'm going to your house." Lu Wei said.
"Well, you keep an eye on it here, and I'll go back when I go." Chen Miao got up and ordered, Xiao Qi didn't come to his office directly, but ran to his own house, there must be something important to tell him.
However, his home in Wah Estate is not very convenient to speak, but it is much better than the crowded office, at least behind closed doors, no one can hear.
And Xu Wan'er is not here at this time, a new section chief has come to the communication department, and the new official has taken office with three fires, and for disobedient subordinates like Xu Wan'er, they naturally have to wear some small shoes.
Women are cautious, it is really a man who can't compare to a horse, Xu Wan'er has really a feeling of living in dire straits these days.
Back at Villa 212 in Wah Estate, Xiao Qi was waiting for him in the living room.
Chen Miao took him into the study, closed the door, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Third brother, the woman you asked me to follow was disguised yesterday and went to the East Asia Hotel." Xiao Qi lowered his voice and said.
"East Asia Hotel, where is she going, what is she doing?"
"I was supposed to go to see somebody, they were in the room for at least two hours, and after she left, I saw a man leave that room as well."
"Did you follow?"
"Follow, however, this man is very vigilant, and it didn't take long for me to be almost discovered by him, so I didn't dare to follow any longer, for fear of startling the snake." Little Seven Ways.
"Have you found the opening record?"
"Well, he opened a house under the name Tian Qiming, but I guess it's a fake name." Little Seven Ways.
There is a way that you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people, Ding Mohan hurriedly released Zhang Lu, and even saved her the time of squatting and confinement.
Out of the sensitivity of an emotional worker. sense, he intuitively felt that there was something going on here, Zhang Lu would not die if he was confined for one more day, why was he in a hurry to release her?
Something must be wrong.
This matter, he can't ask Wu Tianlin to investigate, even if he finds something, it will only make it difficult for him, and the only one who can be trusted is Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi's tracking technique was taught by him himself, it was out of the blue, and now even if he makes a move, he may not be able to compare with him.
And Xiao Qi has time during the day, and the work of stalking is not difficult.
'Do you have any photos?'
"No, I didn't have a camera, but I made a note of what the man looked like." Xiao Qi shook his head.
"You say, I'll draw." Chen Miao walked over, opened the drawer, took out paper and pencil from it, sat down, and commanded.
"Not tall, half a head taller than me, wearing a hat, a gray trench coat, bearded, in his early thirties, walking fast, smoking a white tin bag of three forts, this smell of smoke is very familiar to me......"
The three forts of Bai Xibao are relatively good cigarettes, ordinary people can only smoke old knife brands, and there are better imported cigarettes, which are not what ordinary people can afford.
People who can afford to smoke cigarettes from the Three Batteries are at least financially strong.
Although he couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture, his intuition told Chen Miao that it must not be easy for Zhang Lu to go out of the confinement room and meet this person named Tian Qiming the next day.
Otherwise, why would she be in such a hurry?
"Your task is to keep an eye on Zhang Lu, as for the person who connects with her, he will appear again sooner or later." Chen Miao commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes."
"Anything else?" Chen Miao asked.
"Zheng Jiayuan wants to meet the third brother, the time and place are up to you." Little Seven Ways.
"You tell me that I'm having dinner at the Cangzhou Hotel tonight, and if he can come over, I'll find a way to meet him." Chen Miao thought for a moment and said.
"Okay."
There's also a Hongmen banquet tonight.
……
"Third brother, this is the information of the White Rose Cabaret." Wu Tianlin lived up to his expectations, and brought Chen Miao relevant information about the White Rose Song and Dance Hall at noon.
"Hard work, Tianlin, you accompany me to dinner tonight."
"Yes, third brother." Wu Tianlin agreed, "Third brother, I inquired, Section Chief Chen Mingchu's side is also progressing quite smoothly, and they seem to have locked up a suspect, but they keep the suspect's identity information secret from the outside world, and I can't ask directly." ”
"Just keep an eye on it." Chen Miao thought for a moment and instructed, he still understands Chen Mingchu's ability, this guy is serious, and he has some ability.
"Yes."
Wu Tianlin agreed and went out to do something.
Chen Miao was thoughtful, this Chen Mingchu actually locked the suspect so quickly, who could this suspect be? Could it be Wu Sen?
The White Rose Cabaret is an industry under the name of a "Tong" character surnamed Zhang of the Qing Gang, of course, this is not his alone, there are other people who have invested in it, and his shares are the largest.
This Lu Laoqi, surnamed Zhang, has a close relationship, and he is Lu Laoqi's "master of the house", which can be interpreted literally, that is, passing through the room and not needing to be evasive.
Needless to say, is this relationship still to be said?
The second largest shareholder of the White Rose Cabaret is Gao Xinbao, so it's no wonder why Lu Laoqi was able to find Gao Xinbao's subordinates to do things for her.
Although the surname Zhang is high, there are no people under his hands for a long time, and his power is not large, compared to Gao Xinbao, who is a generation younger, it is not a little worse.
However, Gao Xinbao is not as good as before, and in the era when the three tycoons were rampant in Shanghai, he also had a place for Gao Xinbao, and now.
That is, the name bluffs.
Used to drive him and be a small stream of drivers. Wu Yunfu has been mixed into the captain of the guard brigade of No. 76, and he has long stopped taking his former "old man" in his eyes.
Tonight's meal, if you can't take Gao Xinbao, then it is estimated that things on Maliu's side will be difficult to do.
But Chen Miao is not afraid, Gao Xinbao's handle is in his hands, the contradiction between him and Wu Yunfu is getting deeper and deeper, and the two of them will have to make a break sooner or later.
Wu Yunfu is aggressive, with a posture of forcing Gao Xinbao to death, otherwise, Chen Miao said that he wanted to invite him to dinner, would he say that he wanted to invite him in such a low profile?
In the past, Gao Xinbao didn't look down on an unknown little person like Chen Miao at all.
Chen Miao has no grudge against Wu Yunfu, but he doesn't have the slightest good impression of Wu Yunfu, this person is not only insatiable, but also bold and ruthless, and he is Lin Shiqun's most loyal eagle dog.
If it weren't for that, he just gently proposed to Ma Liu, and they were ready to move, because Wu Yunfu's appetite was too big, and they really couldn't satisfy it.
Ji Yunqing's death, if they don't find a backstage that can support them, they will be eaten by Wu Yunfu sooner or later, and there will be no bones left.
If Chen Miao really has no desire and no desire, then Lin Shiqun will not dare to use him, he has no desire. The person who looks, then he enters the number 76, must have a greater desire. Hope and ambition.
As long as he stretched out his hand, it was equivalent to letting Lin Shiqun pinch the handle, which was much easier to control.
Chen Miao's purpose in doing this, in addition to his own consideration of gaining trust and raising money for the organization, is also to divert Lin Shiqun's attention, if he always stares at using Liang Xueqin to control himself, it will be really troublesome.
……
"Director, tonight, Gao Xinbao, the owner of the Lido Song and Dance Hall, invited his subordinates to dinner at the Cangzhou Hotel." At the Hongmen banquet in the evening, Chen Miao naturally had to report to Lin Shiqun.
"Oh, why did Boss Gao invite you to dinner?"
"The director still remembers what I mentioned to you, when I went out with Lu Wei to find Han Laosi, we were robbed, we shot and killed three, and two were injured and ran away, these people have been verified to be Gao Xinbao's subordinates." Chen Miao explained.
"I see, does he want to make peace?" Lin Shiqun nodded, he naturally knew about this matter, but Gao Xinbao took the initiative to make a drink, which surprised him.
Gao Xinbao is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, has a very bad temper, and often beats and scolds his subordinates, and he wanted to invite him to join No. 76 and conspire for a great cause, but he unceremoniously refused.
Since then, they have rarely interacted with each other, and in short, the water from the well does not interfere with the water of the river.
"Is it his subordinate who made an appointment with him?" Chen Miao explained, "Then Boss Gao said in turn that he had to invite him for this drink, and I agreed." ”
"What do you think?"
"Director, a gang brother like Gao Xinbao, if we don't pull him in, it will be easy to be pulled over by Chongqing, I heard that Captain Wu and Gao Xinbao still have a relationship in the past, but then their relationship was very bad, Boss Gao is one of the small eight parties accepted by Boss Du, if it can be used by me, it will be greatly beneficial to our control of the concession." Chen Miao said.
"You want to use this incident to control Gao Xinbao?" Lin Shiqun came to be interested, Gao Xinbao was one of Du Yuesheng's acceptance of the small eight parties, loyal, Du Yuesheng avoided Hong Kong, but left a large amount of power in Shanghai, these people are mixed with Chongqing, and they are against him everywhere.
If some of them can be co-opted and divided, this is obviously very advantageous, especially for infiltrating into the French Concession.
"I'd like to give it a try." Chen Miao said.
"Okay, you have this idea, I'm very happy and support you, but for people like Gao Xinbao, don't be weak and bow your head." Lin Shiqun commanded.
"Sanshui understands."
