Chapter 671 The problem is serious(1/4)
After Loach left, Chu Lingyun continued to look through the information.
The investigation will not stop. We cannot wait just because Ni Ni wants to verify. If the person who beat up the male student is not Matsumura, we must next find out his identity and his specific relationship with Lin Lemei.
The master-disciple relationship is unusual in this era.
A true master and disciple are comparable to a father and son.
Among the remaining people, there were not many close to the Lin family. Chu Lingyun selected three. One was a vegetable vendor near the Lin family. He escaped before the fall of Hangzhou and is currently in Chongqing.
The other two are rickshaw drivers who often work near Lin's house.
These two people were newly discovered by Ni Loach. There are many rickshaw drivers in Hangzhou, but unfortunately only a few dozen of them escaped in Chongqing.
Loach did some research and finally selected the two of them.
"Master Huang, I heard that you are from Zhejiang Province?"
Chu Lingyun quickly found the first rickshaw driver. Master Huang was resting. Chu Lingyun handed over a cigarette and asked casually.
Master Huang is still doing the job of pulling cars in Chongqing, but the cars are not his own but rented from the company.
You have to pay more for a rental car, you can't park it every day, and you have to hand over most of the money you take out.
After handing it over, excluding food and necessary living expenses, there is not much left.
In this era, many people live a very tight life and work hard to survive, but they cannot even guarantee the most basic food and clothing.
Master Huang is one of them.
"Yes, how do you know me? Judging from your accent, you are from Ningcheng, right?"
Master Huang took the cigarette and replied with a smile, Chu Lingyun deliberately used the dialect from his hometown, but it was still different from that in Hangzhou, but at least it could be understood.
If you are from Fujian and speak dialect, it is really no different from listening to a foreign language.
"You have a good ear. Yes, I am from Ningcheng."
Chu Lingyun gave a thumbs up and took out a piece of gold: "I heard that you are a good driver, so I will give you a ride."
"Then you have found the right person. You can ask around. The driver here is the most stable driver of my car. Where are you going?"
Someone chartered a car, and Master Huang was very happy. He took the ocean, blew it, and put it in his pocket.
"I just came to Chongqing not long ago, please show me around."
Chu Lingyun smiled and said, Master Huang immediately pulled up the car and trotted all the way.
"Master Huang, I have been to Hangzhou before. I once saw a girl near Lianhua Road. She was wearing a school uniform. She must still be in middle school. She was really beautiful. It was a pity that I was busy at the time and could not go to her. Now several years have passed.
I have always remembered her appearance, and I don’t know what happened to her or whether she escaped from Hangzhou. If she had not escaped, she might have been raped by the Japanese."
Chu Lingyun sighed, and Master Huang immediately turned around: "Near Lianhua Road, you are talking about the eldest daughter of the Lin family, right? The eldest daughter of the Lin family is indeed beautiful, and is well-known in that area. If she hadn't been in school, she would have been the one to propose marriage.
If you can break the threshold of her house, even if you go to school, there will be many people who want to propose marriage."
As expected, Master Huang knew Lin Lemei.
The cities of this era were not too big. Hangzhou had a population of eight to nine million. Compared with later generations, it was only the size of a prefecture-level city.
In addition, many ancestors live in the city and know a lot about each other.
It is rare in this era to live across the street for several years without knowing the last name of your neighbor.
Sister Lin Le is pretty, and the Lin family is somewhat famous, so many people know them.
"Maybe so. Did anyone from the Lin family escape?"
Chu Lingyun asked proactively. Master Huang didn't think much and immediately replied: "They must have escaped. Mr. Lin is a high-ranking official and leads the army. Why can't they escape? I just don't know where they have gone and how they are doing now."
Already."
"Just run out. You said he was leading the troops. Maybe I can ask him."
"That's a good relationship. You can tell from the first glance that you are not an ordinary person. Unlike coolies like us, we don't dare to ask these things."
"Do you know who is in the Lin family?" Chu Lingyun asked again.
"I know, the Lin family is very famous. The old man of the Lin family did great things with Mr. Sun. It is said that he specialized in dealing with foreigners for Mr. Sun. Of the three brothers of the Lin family, the eldest brother died in the war, and the second and third brothers became officials.
The eldest lady of the Lin family is the daughter of the second master of the Lin family."
Lin Lemei's grandfather did work in diplomacy.
Because of this, the Lin family got acquainted with Ritsuo Yoshikawa, the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan.
"Does the Lin family have no son?"
Chu Lingyun asked deliberately, Lin Lemei had no brothers or sisters, she was the only one.
Situations like hers are rare at this time. There are three unfilial piety factors. Not having an offspring is the worst. If Lin Lemei is a boy, it is okay to say that she is a girl. It is really rare that the family does not continue to have sons.
Bao Shengqun wanted a son so badly that his wife couldn't give birth to him, so he found a younger wife. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough background and was eventually killed by the Japanese.
"No, Mr. Lin is a good man. It would be a pity not to have a son."
Master Huang said regretfully and paused for a moment: "Boss, in front of you is the Chaotian Gate. It was originally a very large city gate, but it was a pity that it was demolished for the expansion of the dock."
"Don't worry, I'll come down and take a walk."
Chu Lingyun called him. There was an uphill slope ahead, and the slope was very high. Master Huang was not young. Chu Lingyun's main purpose was to ask questions, not to actually ride in the car.
"Is it Mr. Lin who doesn't want to give birth, or Mrs. Lin who can't give birth?"
Walking side by side with Master Huang, Chu Lingyun asked again.
"Boss, I think you are a good person. Let me tell you, don't tell other people. I heard that Mrs. Lin can't give birth."
"Why?"
Master Huang replied in a low voice: "I heard that Mrs. Lin was pregnant once before. She almost died during childbirth and the child was not saved. It was a son. Mr. Lin was hit hard. He often drank for a while. Later, there were several old ladies from the Lin family.
When his friends came over, they didn’t know how to persuade him, and Mr. Lin recovered again.”
"Do you know who the old lady's friend of the Lin family is?"
"I don't know how many years ago this happened."
"If you want to know, let me tell you about someone, Aunt Six. She must know. She worked as a maid for the Lin family."
Servant? This is an important person that Loach has not found before.
Loach's ability is good, but it is impossible to really find everyone. After all, the time is very short. If he is given time, he can find Master Huang and he can still find this person.
"Aunt Six is also in Chongqing?"
"Yes, I have seen her, right here. Her man works on the dock, and their family lives in the shed below."
Master Huang pointed to the distance. There was a shanty town by the river. It looked like it was where the poor lived.
Not only is the environment here humid, but the roads are also difficult to walk.
"Okay, Master Huang, there's no need to pull anymore today. You can go back first and don't tell anyone what you said to me."
Chu Lingyun saw the place clearly and said to Master Huang.
"Don't worry, I know. I would never dare to say anything nonsense. Are you from the official family?"
Master Huang finally realized something was wrong, and the conversation was normal. The Li family and the Wang family were short, and they usually talked about this.
Many customers like to hear it, so they will talk about it.
But this time, after the guest heard about Aunt Six, he refused to rent his car, which was a bit abnormal.
He regretted a little why he said so much.
"Go ahead."
Chu Lingyun waved his hand, and Liang Yuzheng followed with others, not daring to get close.
"Your car money."
Master Huang took out the dollar just now, a little reluctant to part with it, but he didn't have to go far, and the other party's identity was obviously unusual, so he really didn't dare to take the money.
"That's your fare, take it."
Chu Lingyun shook his head and walked downstairs after speaking. Master Huang hurriedly bent down and said, "Thank you, boss, I will make you rich."
After working for a while, he made a fortune and met a generous customer.
Pulling the cart, Master Huang left quickly, he did not dare to stay here.
"Team leader."
Liang Yu led people to chase him, following Chu Lingyun.
"Go downstairs and ask where Aunt Six from Hangzhou lives."
Chu Lingyun ordered, Liang Yu immediately ran down, while Chu Lingyun walked down slowly.
Liang Yu is very smart and steady in his work. Although he is not as smart and smooth as Loach, nor is he as capable and decisive as Shen Hanwen, he has the best of both worlds.
When Chu Lingyun let him go to Shanghai Station, Chu Lingyun was a little reluctant, but there was no way. If Liang Yu didn't go, Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen would have to leave.
After all, Wang Yuemin was his teacher. If he asked him for help at the expense of his face, he had to give it to him.
