Chapter 359: Suspicious Clouds
"Butler Cheng, you are finally here." When Wu Tailai saw Cheng Xiwen, he felt as if he had seen a savior, and his waist was much straightened a lot.
Cheng Xiwen is Huang Jinrong's housekeeper, and Tailai Restaurant actually owns Huang Jinrong's shares.
It seems that Wu Tailai has found a very strong backer for him. Although Huang Jinrong has been a residence in a closed door, the three tycoons are still in their name and have many disciples under his command.
In the French Concession, Huang Jinrong still stomped his feet and shook three trembling figures.
He really has to give this face.
"I just asked Boss Wu to assist in investigating the case, and there was no intention of making things difficult for him. Manager Cheng, you seem to have misunderstood it." Tang Jin said.
"So that's the case. Old Wu and Inspector Tang just asked you something to handle the case, and you just answer truthfully." Tang Jin is at its peak now. Although the Huang family's power is still there, it is only for a while. For a young reserve like Tang Jin, you can not offend him, but you will not offend him.
It's all like this. Even if Wu Tailai knows something, he won't say it anymore.
Although Tang Jin was furious, he had no choice. Wu Tailai just opened a restaurant and was not illegal. Could it be that he really arrested the person in the police room?
Wu Tailai was speechless, but the other guys were the same. They didn't have a backer like Cheng Xiwen and called each other to ask questions.
But most of them say the same thing, there is no difference.
Only one guy who had served food and drinks to the private room mentioned that one of them was called "Brother Nan". He didn't know who this Brother Nan was.
But I showed him the photos and was not among the three dead.
Then this "Brother Nan" should be one of the killers who were blown to pieces or escaped.
Then there is the portrait. Anyone who has seen the five people in Tailai Hotel will be called to describe their appearance.
Of course, the boss Wu Tailai himself is also indispensable.
He is the only person who has the most contact with the five killers and has the longest time. His description is the most important reference.
...
"One of these two people was killed by the bombing, and the other one was Brother Nan. According to the description of the client and boss of Tailai Restaurant, this person may be the leader of the killer, that is, Brother Nan in their mouths. Of course, they are not very sure. After all, we cannot confirm the identity of the other person, so now we have so many clues."
At the case analysis meeting, Qi Huan briefly introduced the progress of case investigation.
“Is there any supplement?”
"From the autopsy report, these people are likely to be professional killers, and they are very likely to have served in the military. Therefore, they are suspected to be the Military Commission's anti-traitor operation team." said a French police officer.
"The Military Control Commission has been engaged in various assassination and terrorist activities in the concession, which greatly undermined the public security and production and operation order in the concession. We should crack down on it severely."
"Sir Ma Long, you can't confirm that it was done by the Military Control Commission now, right?" Qi Huan said. Ma Long was Sarli's person, and Sarli colluded with the Japanese and had no spare time to support the attack on the Military Control Commission.
Of course, the Military Commission's assassination and sabotage activities in the French Concession did cause a lot of trouble to public security, especially the casualties of innocent people.
These are the reasons why they insisted on suppressing the anti-Japanese forces in the concession.
In the view of the French Concession authorities, the Military Commission's anti-Japanese and anti-traitorous actions were a destruction of the rules and regulations of the French Concession, and as managers, they should be cracked down on them.
The situation in the public concession is even more chaotic than that in the French concession, and their suppression is much greater than that in the French concession.
However, there is something pretty good in the concession, that is, they at least follow rules and evidence. If it is in the Chinese world, it would be different.
"Is this still very doubtful? Isn't the joint assassination one of their common methods?"
"We still pay attention to evidence when handling cases in the judicial arrest room. The killer's identity is not clear at present. If it is directly determined that it was done by the Military Control Commission, isn't it too arbitrary?" a Chinese policeman questioned.
"Then we should also use the Military Control Commission as the direction of reconnaissance. From the operational methods to the personnel and weapon configurations, it shows that this is not an ordinary assassination!" Ma Long stood up and said solemnly.
"Officer Ma Long said it is right. Since the assassination of Tang Shaochuan last year, the Military Commission has planned and carried out nearly 30 assassinations or assassins in our French Concession, with more than ten successful cases, and the number of deaths and indirect deaths exceeded twenty..." Inspector Cheng Haitao said.
"Did Inspector Cheng determine that this assassination was done by the Military Control Commission?" Qi Huan asked.
"How many organizations in today's Shanghai are capable and courageous to organize such street assassinations?" Cheng Haitao asked back.
"According to the investigation of our political department, there are no less than a hundred anti-Japanese anti-traitor groups active in Shanghai, and at least a dozen are capable or have the ability to organize assassination. Do I want me to list them one by one for Inspector Cheng to listen to?"
"Inspector Qi, you are arguing. I am analyzing the case and discussing the matter!" Cheng Haitao said angrily.
"I'm just talking about the matter. Consul Lu is a senior consultant to our Political Department. He has never been involved in politics. The only time he was to have to do a surgery on Takeuchi Yunko, but that was to save people. If Takeuchi Yunko died in the French Concession, everyone knows the consequences. Consul Lu can be said to have taken the blame for many people!" Qi Huan said heavily.
"It is normal for Consultant Lu to be misunderstood by the anti-Japanese organization. I also express deep sympathy, but it cannot be said that this assassination was not done by the Military Control Commission!" Cheng Haitao refuted.
"In the past six months, the Military Control Commission has indeed planned many assassinations, but like Dr. Lu, there is only one time, and it is just a doctor's job. You don't realize that the motivation for the assassination is too far-fetched?"
"Didn't the newspaper say that Consultant Lu's 'Hand of God' pulled Takeuchi Yunko back from the God of Death, and was the most noble friend of the Japanese Empire?" Cheng Haitao sneered.
"Cheng Haitao, you..."
"Okay, let's discuss who Consultant Lu is not. Our current goal is to find the last killer and determine the identity of the killer. Solving the case is not based on speculation, but evidence!" Tang Jin stopped Qi Huan and said heavily.
"You will know if you catch the killer who escaped from Ma Xiaowu."
"Who will catch it?"
"Inspector Tang, I suggest transferring Ma Xiaowu back to the charge of chasing the killer, because he is the most suitable candidate for him since he has fought with this killer and met him." Cheng Haitao suggested.
"Then who will protect Consultant Lu?"
"This is easy to deal with. Just select one or two police officers from our Political Department to protect themselves." Cheng Haitao said with an understatement.
"Ma Xiaowu has always been responsible for protecting Dr. Lu, and he has withdrawn it rashly. Isn't it appropriate?"
"What's wrong with it? How much help did Consul Lu help our Political Department? What achievements did he have, or what achievements did he have? Why do we need to send someone to protect him?" Cheng Haitao suddenly said.
"The case of the Chief Cai, Zhou Fengqi, and Lu Banlu's hardware and instruments business, have participated in these sensational cases and have made great efforts. Cheng Haitao, we cannot use people to face forward or backward. In that case, when we encounter difficult cases in the future, we are afraid that no one will help us!" Qi Huan angrily slapped the table, pointed at Cheng Haitao and cursed.
"Without Butcher Zhang, I still have to eat a pig with hair!" Cheng Haitao snorted, looking like he didn't take Qi Huan seriously at all.
"Cheng Haitao, enough, don't think you are an inspector in the department, you can be so arrogant!" Tang Jin was also angry. Although he was the boss of the Political Department, the French were relieved that he would not let the Political Department be a solid person. In addition to those French police officers, there were also villains like Cheng Haitao who were placed in the inspector's position, with the purpose of giving him eye drops and feeling uncomfortable, so that he could not form a single-man in the Political Department.
"Inspector General, I just expressed my different opinions. As for whether you listen or not, it's your own business." Cheng Haitao stood up and said sarcastically, "Will you finish driving this? If you finish driving, I will go back first. I still have a lot of things to be busy with."
"The meeting ended!" Tang Jin endured it again and again, and finally he endured it.
...
The conference room was quickly empty, leaving only Tang Jin and Qi Huan.
"Inspector General, Cheng Haitao has taken gunpowder today. How dare he confront you in person?" Qi Huan said indignantly.
"This kid thinks he has a big backer and no longer takes me seriously."
"Who?"
"Who else can I have besides the Japanese?" Tang Jin sneered.
"No wonder, the villain succeeded." Qi Huan cursed.
"After a while, after get off work, call Lao Lu to the Windsor Hotel. We met there. I always feel that something is wrong with this case." Tang Jin ordered.
"OK."
...
After two classes, Lu Xiyan returned to the office, picked up the teacup, drank a large mouthful of cold water, and then slightly relieved his voice that was about to smoke.
"Teacher, Mr. Yan Lei is here."
"Please come in."
"Sir, I've bought you the tea you want." Yan Lei came in with two porcelain jars of tea, and the packaging was quite exquisite.
This old Hu has always been stingy, similar to Grandet. Why is he so generous this time that he actually packed it in porcelain jars for me to buy tea?
"Go and close the door." Lu Xiyan said a little and ordered.
Yan Lei nodded. He guessed that there must be something in the tea jar, but he also knew the rules and shouldn't know, and he didn't know.
This was given to him by Guo Hanjie. Since Guo Hanjie didn't say it, of course he didn't dare to move at will.
Lu Xiyan looked carefully at the two tea pots and found that there was a red dot on the label outside the tea pot, as if it was made of cinnabar dots.
The broken finger was in the tea pot, opened the lid, reached in and took a few strokes, and a bundle of kraft paper was lifted up.
Yan Lei was also very curious, after all, Lu Xiyan did not let him avoid it.
The buns are still tightly tied, probably because they are afraid of dispersing. After all, they are mixed with tea leaves, so the tea leaves still have to be made into tea and cannot be wasted.
The paper bag was opened, revealing a piece of finger.
Yan Lei was shocked, but he was also used to seeing the market and would not panic like ordinary people.
"Don't be surprised, someone asked me to help him see if the person with the broken finger is still alive." Lu Xiyan explained briefly, then took out a magnifying glass from the drawer and looked carefully.
"Sir, who is the one who is referring to this?"
"A colleague, who has been missing for many days, is suspected of being kidnapped. There is no news yet. The day before yesterday, someone sent a broken finger to his family and asked for a ransom of 10,000 yuan." Lu Xiyan said.
"You are talking about Dr. Duan Yimin from Yimin Clinic, right?" Yan Lei asked.
"How do you know?"
"You may not pay attention to the news that I have read in the newspaper a few days ago." Yan Lei smiled.
"Does Tan Si and the others know?"
"I don't know this, and I didn't tell anyone that kidnapping and extortion is not rare in today's Shanghai." Yan Lei said.
"Do you know that the kidnapping of Doctor Duan Yimin was related to Fu Yue's reckless actions on New Year's Day night?" Lu Xiyan said.
"How does this have anything to do with the Shanghai West Group?"
"Lu Haiyang was seriously injured and walked not far. Can the Japanese and the police station not search nearby hospitals and clinics? By chance, Yimin Clinic received a patient that night and underwent surgery. You said it doesn't matter?"
"Then has this doctor been born on our behalf?" Yan Lei said.
"What do you think?"
