Chapter 313: Mourning Hall of Condolences
"Master, Zhang Haifeng is finished. This is today's newspaper. Please take a look." When the housekeeper Xie Bicheng came in early in the morning with a copy of the "Social News" printed today.
Yuan Xian responded vaguely and took the newspaper from Xie Bicheng. Sure enough, a piece of news was published in the center of the first page of the newspaper.
Zhang Haifeng, a criminal wanted criminal in the French concession, was arrested. The person who arrested the criminal was Hao Rong, the police chief of the Baidang Road Police Station in the French Concession...
In addition, there is also Duan Ming and Zhang Haifeng, one of the masterminds behind the shooting at the entrance of the Da Guangming Cinema on Christmas Eve.
The accomplice Heihu and his six gangsters were all arrested.
After reading this, Yuan Xian took a breath of air conditioning and sat there for a long time but couldn't come back to his senses.
"Old Xie, I asked you to find a private detective to investigate the source of the letter, will there be any results?" After a long time, Yuan Xian asked Xie Bicheng.
"Not yet, Inspector Wu said that there are few clues on the light envelope and literal clues. If you want to find the mastermind behind the scenes, you may need to give him some time?" Xie Bicheng said.
"Hmph, it's useless. I'm afraid that everyone behind this scene will be arrested. He hasn't figured out who it is yet?" Yuan Xian snorted angrily.
"Master, will you continue to check?"
"Tell Wu Wencai that if there is no result every day, he will not expect to get the subsequent commission." Yuan Xian ordered.
"yes."
...
Chen Miao returned to Mingyueli and lived on the 18th. When he woke up in the morning, he saw Lao Cai sweeping the floor in the yard and greeted him: "Lao Cai, are you still used to living here?"
"Habit, third brother, it's early, although this place is much cleaner than Tingxue Tower." Old Cai said hurriedly.
"Well, just get used to it. In the future, when Xueqin gets married, you can live under the same roof." Chen Miao smiled.
"Hehe, it's been three years, and I can't hear that little girl Qiao'er's throat training every morning, and I'm really not used to it."
"Have you made breakfast?" Chen Miao asked, "If you made it, Xiaoqi and I won't go out to eat?"
"I made it, cooked porridge and white steamed buns. I was alone at home and couldn't eat that much. But I know that you and Xiaoqi came back last night and made more in the morning." Lao Cai said hurriedly.
"After, then we both have breakfast before going to work." Chen Miao smiled and lived with Liang Xueqin and also ate breakfast outside. It was cold and it was cold. They got up early, so it was unrealistic to ask the two women to get up to make breakfast.
"Old Cai, this dish is good, and it is served with this small pickles and white flour steamed buns, which is appetizing!"
"You like third brother. If you want to eat it in the future, I will tell me Lao Cai, don't let me do it well. I dare to say that if you cook porridge, I will not lose to anyone." Lao Cai received the praise and was extremely happy.
"Okay, I'll be troubled by you in the future." Chen Miao nodded.
...
Xiaoqi drove Chen Miao to No. 76, and he ordered Mao himself, and then disappeared. No one cared about what he did or asked. He was only responsible for Chen Miao.
I looked at the calendar and it was December 28, 1939, and there were three days left. Even if the year of the Western calendar passed, my wedding date would be only one week left.
Time flies so fast!
Chen Miao looked at the calendar on the wall and was sighing when suddenly, the office door was knocked.
"Come in."
The one who came in was Wu Tianlin, wearing a fur hat, his face was red with cold. He was obviously just coming from outside. After coming in, he rushed to the stove.
It is very cold in winter in Shanghai. If there is no charcoal stove for heating in the house, it will be impossible to treat people. If you sit there for a while, you will be frozen. No matter how much you wear, it will be useless.
Especially when Wu Tianlin's cold air came in, Chen Miao felt that the temperature in the house had dropped several degrees suddenly.
"Drink some ginger and black tea to warm up your body."
"Thank you, Brother Three." Wu Tianlin took the enamel jar gratefully and drank more than half in one breath. "Brother Three, I'm here to report. This is Secretary Chu's inquiry record. You can take a look."
Take out a volume of transcripts from your pocket.
Chen Miao reached out to take it, and looked at it while walking towards his position. The first time he brought the lecture was to get a general understanding of the situation.
Whether the actual problem can be discussed depends on how to ask whether the other party is cooperating or not.
Chu Qingxuan explained some basic information very clearly, such as her past history, what she had done, and what position she held.
These are not the key points, the key points are her relationship with Ding Mohan.
"Secretary Chu said that she met Ding Mohan at the dance party again, oh, no, Director Ding knew. 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 considered at all, but since then, Director Ding has been keenly pursuing her, frequently inviting her to dinner, dance, and watch movies. Their first time..."
"Stop it, did you ask these questions on your own initiative, or did she say them on her own initiative?" Chen Miao raised his hand and stopped him.
"I just asked her when it started with Director Ding, and she started talking. We couldn't stop it. The whole process was recorded. This is the summary version. If you want to hear it, I will ask someone to send it here immediately?" Wu Tianlin said.
"If you don't tell this tape, just pretend it doesn't exist and understand it." Chen Miao suddenly ordered sternly.
"Third Brother..." Wu Tianlin looked confused.
"The one from Director Ding's house is a jealous person. If she knows, she will cause trouble. Don't you understand?" Chen Miao explained.
"Yes, third brother, I understand. I promise not to let the third person know. I will lock it in the safe when I go back." Wu Tianlin was shocked and immediately understood what Chen Miao meant.
"Well, this record is here for me. What's next? Wait for my order. Remember, without my order, no one will see Chu Qingxuan, and no one will believe it." Chen Miao ordered.
"Yes, third brother." Wu Tianlin nodded, "By the way, third brother, Chu Qingxuan asked to call her home to report safety. Do you see this?"
"Yes, but what should be said and what should not be said, you have to explain it to her clearly, otherwise she will know the consequences." Chen Miao thought for a moment and nodded.
After all, Chu Qingxuan's parents are celebrities and are the targets of Wang's struggle. Before there is no final result of the treatment, as long as the person is in control, the preferential treatment they should still be given.
"I understand." Wu Tianlin stammered, "Third Brother, there is one more thing?"
"What's the matter?"
"Today, Chief He set up a mourning hall in the funeral home. I want to go and pay some condolences and give me a wreath. After all, he has protected me for a while and is my old chief."
"This matter is, it's OK. Go and give me a wreath by the way, so I won't go." Chen Miao nodded.
...
The bodies of the Public Concession, Kang Tuo Naolu, Wanguo Funeral Home, He Yaozhong and Feng Guozhen are placed in the largest mourning hall of the funeral home for relatives and friends to come and pay their respects!
In front of the mourning hall, there were many people wearing white-headed filial piety clothes. He Yaozhong’s seniority was not low in the Qing Gang. His wife, children, and disciples were strictly counted, and there were quite a few, and he knelt all over the ground.
Wang Xiufeng came to pay his respects on behalf of the Wang family’s central government.
As soon as he arrived, he was surrounded by He Yaozhong's disciples. He was murderous and looked like he wanted to eat people. Everyone had a fast and slow-moving machine around their waists, and they were very stunning to take action if they had a disagreement.
The two disciples of He Yaozhong, Ding San and Li Xieyu, were led by him.
As soon as He Yaozhong died, all the troops under his command were in the hands of these two people. In order to buy people's hearts and control the troops, both of them must stand up and ask for an explanation for He Yaozhong.
Ma Hetu, who shot and killed people, no one knew where he fled. His subordinates were Wang Tianhuan's adjutant, and his subordinates were responsible for their crimes, so the superiors could not refuse to blame.
"Deputy Minister Wang, we only ask that Wang Tianhuan be called and kowtow to my dead master and brother Guozhen so that they will not leave with resentment!" Ding Sanyi made a request to Wang Xiufeng with a murderous look on his face. He Yaozhong's disciples and grandchildren all surrounded him, surrounded Wang Xiufeng in the middle, and put their hands on the robbers at his waist.
"Ding San, Brigade Commander Ding, I understand your feelings, but, in this matter, do we have to calm down and not be impulsive?"
"What is impulse? It would be great if we didn't ask him to pay his life. Isn't this too much?"
"Yes, is this too much?"
"This is the truth, but you can't force others to do it like this..."
"What does it mean to force 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. If Ding Mohan doesn't agree, we will find Mr. Wang!" Ding San said loudly.
"You are crazy and want to find Mr. Wang?" Wang Xiufeng was very scared. These Qiu Bas are really arrogant. If they make trouble in front of Wang, no one can eat it.
"We just want justice. If you don't agree, we will get it ourselves." Ding Sanyi slapped the fast machine on his waist and said arrogantly.
"Ding San, don't do it randomly. Do you know what the consequences of doing this?" Wang Xiufeng said with a stern voice. If he had known, he would not have come to pay his respects. He would have found an excuse to let others come.
"Deputy Minister Wang, we also know that you can't make the decision. For this matter, you should report to Director Ding or Director Lin and ask the person who is in charge to give us a reply. Anyway, if we don't agree to our conditions, don't blame us for making the matter a big deal." Ding San shouted loudly, "He Wang Tianhuan's adjutant killed our master's seat. Even if this matter has nothing to do with him, shouldn't he kowtow in front of the deceased spirit? Brothers, are you right?"
"Ding Luzun is right, call Wang Tianhuan over and kowtow in front of the master's throne!"
"We will never give up if we don't kowtow and apologize."
"Kowtow, kowtow..."
A person who agreed and the bottom of the house began to make a fuss, and the whole mourning hall was full of a voice.
Wang Xiufeng's face turned pale in an instant. The matter has developed to this point, and it has completely exceeded his ability to control it.
"Deputy Minister Wang, we are not embarrassed by you. We also ask you to go back and tell Director Ding and the superiors that we are going to reply here, and we and thousands of officers and soldiers of the 6th Division of the Rescue Army are waiting for the reply!" Ding San said viciously.
"You, you are going to rebel!" Wang Xiufeng shivered in anger.
