Chapter 17: Angry at the Crown
"Brother, good news, good news..." As soon as Lin Shiqun arrived at No. 76, the car drove into the second door, Wu Yunfu trotted all the way from his guard brigade headquarters and stopped the car directly.
"What news?" Lin Shiqun did not get out of the car, but asked directly rolled down the rear window.
"That Chen Miao may have tied Yuan Jie." Wu Yunfu put his head in Lin Shiqun's ear and covered his mouth and said in a low voice.
When Lin Shiqun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and gave an expressionless command: "Come to my office."
"Okay."
...
"Big guy, tell me, what's going on?" Not long after Lin Shiqun arrived at the office, Wu Yunfu came in with his heels.
Wu Yunfu replied, "Last night, my subordinates found Mr. Yuan's car and dragged it back."
"Big guy, are you too brave?" Lin Shiqun was surprised. He naturally knew what Wu Yunfu did. He got a lot of cars through this method.
"Brother, listen to me, the tire of this car was pierced and broke down on the side of the road. It happened to be touched by my brother patrolling under my command..." Wu Yunfu hurriedly explained.
"Is there no one in the car?"
"Yes, I'll bring back someone and temporarily place them in the guesthouse." Wu Yunfu said, "According to the two in the car, they played with Mr. Yuan in the Xianlesi Dance Hall last night. Mr. Yuan was unhappy because of the matter at Huiquan Tower at noon and drank a lot of wine. At about nine o'clock, a waiter in the dance hall sent a note to Mr. Yuan. After reading it, Mr. Yuan was furious and tore the note to pieces on the spot. Then, he took them out of the dance hall, yelling that Chen Sanshui was too bullying and wanted to settle the score with him."
"Chen Sanshui, isn't it Chen Miao?" Lin Shiqun moved slightly, and the word "Miao" is not the three words "Shui"!
"Yes, brother, you are right. The car tires were air-breaking and broke down. Mr. Yuan and the remaining two bodyguards stopped a rickshaw..."
"Wait, it's so late, why are there rickshaws on that road?"
Wu Yunfu chuckled and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother, this rickshaw is just behind Yuan Jie's car. It happened to appear when Mr. Yuan's car broke down. Mr. Yuan drank a lot of alcohol at that time and was angry. Without notice, he got on the rickshaw. As a result, he didn't come back after he went there."
"How do you know that Yuan Jie has not come back after he left?"
"This morning, I passed by Ding Mohan's office, and the door was closed. I heard the sound of a phone call from inside. It was called by Yuan Jie's old man, President Yuan Xian, who said it was Yuan Jieyi. He had not returned at night and the person was thrown on the ground in western Shanghai. I asked Ding Mohan to ask for someone, brother, this is not obvious." Wu Yunfu said.
"Why did Chen Miao kidnap Yuan Jie?"
"This is not clear..."
"Go and call Captain Ling here for me." Ding Mohan pondered for a while.
"This man surnamed Ling is a slippery man. Big brother, he is very close to Ding Mohan now. Can you tell the truth to us?" Wu Yunfu said.
"I told you to go, just go, so much nonsense?" Lin Shiqun glared.
Wu Yunfu nodded hurriedly: "Go, go, go now..."
...
"Secretary Chen, is it so diligent enough to come to see Director Ding so early?" Wu Yunfu just came out of Lin Shiqun's office and met Chen Mingchu who was jogging up at the stairs at the end of the corridor. He spoke sarcastically.
"Haha, Captain Wu just came out of Deputy Director Lin's house?" Chen Mingchu didn't expect to meet Wu Yunfu. He subconsciously kept away from such a fool.
He looked down upon Lin Shiqun's emphasis on people like Wu Yunfu. If he hadn't defected to the Japanese as his backer, he wouldn't have known that he would have digged the soil in the corner of the mountain.
You should know that Lin Shiqun saluted him when he saw him and respectfully called him "Supervisor".
No. 76 is a hodgepodge, frustrated politicians, officers, gang members, gangsters, literati, etc. Fill out a form and anyone can join, and no one looks down on anyone.
"Hmph." Wu Yunfu deliberately blocked most of the stairs. He was a rough man, and he would not hide himself. He put his likes and dislikes on his face.
Not long after Chen Mingchu entered No. 76, he was unwilling to directly conflict with a real-powerful person like Wu Yunfu, which was of no benefit to him.
He quickly squeezed up from Wu Yunfu.
"Spit, coward!" Wu Yunfu spat and walked downstairs proudly.
Chen Mingchu naturally heard this sound, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he did not stop and continued to move forward. Ding Mohan called him over with a phone call. There must be something important.
As soon as I got to the door, I saw Ding Mohan sitting behind the desk with a dark face.
"Director Ding, what happened? You called Bei Yi so early?" Chen Mingchu asked cautiously. Something must have happened, and it was not a good thing.
"Yuan Jie is missing."
"What, Mr. Yuan is missing?" Chen Mingchu was startled and immediately thought of a possibility in his mind, "Director Ding, Mr. Yuan is not a child anymore. Would he be too happy to play somewhere and forget to go home?"
"If this is true, his bodyguard should also call Yuan Gongguan to report a letter. In fact, Mr. Yuan had been drinking and dancing in Xianlesi last night and did not leave until after nine o'clock. He was in a bad mood when he left, and the car was not heading towards Yuan Gongguan."
"Yuan Mansion is in the French Concession. If Mr. Yuan wants to go back, he should go south. So where did he go?"
"West."
"People are on our territory?" Chen Mingchu was stunned when he heard this.
"Hurry to see Ling Zhijiang and ask him to send someone to find me immediately. You must find someone. If something happens to Yuan Jie, you and I will have trouble with you." Ding Mohan said solemnly.
"Director Ding, is there another possibility..."
"Are you talking about Chen Miao?" Ding Mohan's eyes were gloomy and he said with a cold and cold light, "Does he have the courage?"
"As soon as you rush to the crown and get angry, it has been there since ancient times."
"Check, if it's really Chen Miao, then this matter will be easy, and there may be unexpected gains." Ding Mohan ordered, "How is Miss Liang's situation?"
"Boss Qin has seen the world and is very calm. But her girl is very scared." Chen Mingchu said.
"What's that girl's name?"
"Qiao'er."
"Let that girl be released. If Chen Miao really kidnapped Yuan Jie, he should have wanted to exchange him for Liang Xueqin. This gives us a chance to face it directly." Ding Mohan said, "Secretary Chen, are you sure to convince him?"
Chen Mingchu thought for a while and said, "Chen Miao is a man with a good qualification in the Military Control Commission and still has abilities, but he seems to be a bit like to go with the flow. He likes to enjoy and cannot endure hardship. I have been to the place where he lives many times. He usually likes to drink red wine, eat Western food, and smoke cigars. If he doesn't have money, it's impossible."
"You mean, he is a person who wants to enjoy himself?"
"almost."
"This is easy to deal with. His identity has been exposed. As long as we push him a little, he can't tolerate it in the military command, then he will make the right choice when he is desperate." Ding Mohan chuckled.
Chen Mingchu nodded with understanding: "I understand, I will notify you immediately if there is any news."
...
Listening to Xuelou, Liang Xueqin and Qiaoer had not come back until the evening, which made Lao Cai very anxious. When he found Huiquanlou and found the news, the manager stammered for a long time, saying that Liang Xueqin and Qiaoer had already gone back and said nothing else.
Lao Cai also has some experience in the martial arts world.
After spending some money, I asked someone for a question at Huiquanlou's staff and vaguely figured out some situations. It was very scary. He just listened to Xuelou's manager.
In addition to Liang Xueqin, there is another boss in Xuelou that Lao Cai has never seen before. Only Liang Xueqin knows that he really doesn't know that he is not good at all.
I returned to Tingxue Tower in a daze, but no one discussed it and didn't dare to ask anyone to talk to me.
Third brother...
Old Cai finally thought that the third brother came back yesterday afternoon. When the incident happened at noon, he was at the scene. Could it be that the third brother deliberately hid Liang Xueqin and Qiaoer, so that Yuan Jie could not find the murderous person?
It's not impossible.
When Lao Cai thought about this, he felt a lot calmer. Although this might be a lie to himself, the tall Tingxuelou cannot be without Liang Xueqin. He also has to open the door to do business. The artists signed by the contract cannot support the venue. The guests came to Xueqin to listen to books, all of which were for Liang Xueqin, the "Pingtan" queen.
If the person has not come back and there is no definite news, then he can only call the police. As soon as the sky is bright, Lao Cai got up, washed his face with cold water, and made a secret decision in his heart.
Bang bang...
This is the sound of the back door bolt hitting the door panel. When Lao Cai opened his eyes, he was back. He didn't bother to wipe his face with a towel. He reached out to wipe it and rushed over: "Here, come..."
"Third brother, is it you?" When he opened the door and saw that it was Chen Miao. Old Cai was stunned for a moment.
Chen Miao grinned at him and waved his hand: "Come here and help me."
Lao Cai walked out in a daze and saw a dark red wooden box on a trailer. He walked over and weighed it, and it was quite heavy.
"Brother Third, what is it in it? It's so heavy?" Old Cai and Chen Miao carried the box in.
"Is there any more secret place?" Chen Miao asked.
"There is a small storage room behind the stairs. Brother San, what is in your box?" Old Cai muttered in his heart.
"Okay, carry the box over." Chen Miao nodded.
The storage room is not big, about four or five square meters, and usually piles up some debris, and few people come in. It is on the first floor of the attic where Liang Xueqin lives. The location is still quite secret, and most people will not come here.
"Third brother, is this..."
"You can open it and take a look." Chen Miao smiled, "The box is not locked."
Old Cai glanced at Chen Miao and found that the other party didn't seem to be joking with him. He wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve, squatted down, and slowly lifted the box.
"Ah, it's a human, it's a dead person..." Old Cai was so scared that he took two steps back. If Chen Miao hadn't dragged him, he would have sat on the ground.
Chen Miao smiled, walked over and lifted the lid of the box again and said, "Old Cai, look, I'll scare you. If someone dies, I'll put it back in the box for what to do? If you tie the stones and throw them away from the Huangpu River, it's a lot of trouble?"
"Living, alive..." Old Cai's lips were trembling with fear.
Chen Miao was injured in his left shoulder and couldn't use his full strength with one hand. He yelled: "Old Cai, come here and help."
Lao Cai was a little scared, but he still went over tremblingly and pulled out the person in the box. The storage room was under the stairs and was protected from light. The light was already dark, so Lao Cai didn't see the face clearly just now.
At this moment, the person moved out of the box. Lao Cai finally saw the face inside clearly and screamed out.
Chapter completed!
