"Master Hao, sir, ask you to go up."

"Brother Lei, it's big night, don't you turn on the lights? It's so late, isn't your brother-in-law sleeping yet?" Meng Hao turned on the lights and saw Yan Lei sitting in the living room, almost scared.

"What are you doing when you turn on the light? I don't need it?" Yan Lei smiled slightly, stood up and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come back, I'll go out to find you."

"What my brother-in-law ordered?"

"Well, go wash your face. The smell of alcohol on your body will come up and let the teacher see you. I guess you will be talking about you again." Yan Lei threw a towel to Meng Hao and said.

"Okay, I understand." Meng Hao took it and waved his hand and said.

In the study upstairs, Lu Xiyan was indeed not sleeping yet. Half of them were waiting for Meng Hao, and the other half were considering analyzing how to deal with the current situation.

"Come back?"

"Brother-in-law, it's so late, are you asking me for something?"

"Sit down, go out to drink?" Lu Xiyan stood up and greeted him.

"Well, I drank a little." Meng Hao nodded.

"Have you gone to the Northeast Tavern?" Lu Xiyan poured a glass of boiled water and handed it over, "What did Uncle Yaozu tell you?"

"Brother-in-law, how did you know that I'm going to find Uncle Yaozu?" Meng Hao said in surprise.

"Don't guess, I didn't ask anyone to follow you. I guess, those friends in your past are afraid that they rarely take the initiative to drink with you now, right?"

"Brother-in-law, what is the relationship between you and Uncle Yaozu?" Meng Hao asked curiously.

"He is your uncle and Meimei. What does it mean to have a relationship between us?" Lu Xiyan smiled.

"Brother-in-law, you know, I'm not asking this."

"Cooperate, I have cooperation with Uncle Yaozu." Lu Xiyan knew that he would not give up easily without telling Meng Hao some truth.

"Are you working together?"

"Yes, do you still remember that I was attacked at the Windsor Hotel?" Lu Xiyan explained, "That night, if I hadn't just decided to meet Uncle Yaozu, I'm afraid you might not have seen me when you come back. Uncle Yaozu is helping me find out the whereabouts of those who attacked me."

"Ah?" Meng Hao was surprised. Luo Yaozu would not tell him these things. The case was investigated by the Political Department in the judicial arrest room, and their criminal department was directly excluded. Such a vicious case should have been the case of their Criminal Division.

After he came back, he also inquired about the investigation of the case from many parties, but the investigations related to the case were kept confidential. Even those involved in the criminal office issued a ban order, and the investigation of the case was not allowed to be disclosed to the public.

But as time went by, no more useful evidence was found in this case, and the case was hung up.

Usually, such cases that are hung up will probably be ignored in a few months. He has been in the criminal arrest room for a long time, and he knows the tricks too well.

According to the relationship between Tang Jin and his brother-in-law Lu Xiyan, he will definitely investigate the case. How could he show such a negative side?

He still didn't understand, but he even complained about some things and was scolded by his sister, so he was not allowed to mention them in front of Lu Xiyan.

"The reasons behind this case are very complicated. I know you are very much like helping me find these people. You have been busy with these things these days, but you have never gained much, right?" Lu Xiyan of course knew what Meng Hao has been doing these days after he came back. This kid really did what he said and really helped him investigate the case.

"Yes, the superiors issued a ban order, and irrelevant personnel must not disclose the relevant circumstances of the case. I want to join the case investigation team and have been rejected." Meng Hao said depressed.

"I asked Tang Jin to issue the closure order. I also instructed me to prevent you from joining the investigation team." Lu Xiyan explained.

"Brother-in-law, why is this?" Meng Hao was anxious, "Do you look down on me or don't trust me?"

"I didn't look down on you, nor did I trust you. We are a family. How could I not trust you? It's because this case involves too many things and is too complicated. It's okay if you don't know. Once you know, you have to be involved. At that time, it will be difficult for you to stay out of the matter." Lu Xiyan said seriously.

"I know, you are afraid that I will act recklessly and repeat the same mistake I made last time." Meng Hao said, "Brother-in-law, I have suffered a loss once, will I take it again?"

"Then do you know who attacked me?"

"Although I don't know who they are, I know it must have something to do with the Japanese." Meng Hao said heavily.

"oh?"

"Although you blocked the investigation and clues of me, I am also a professionally trained policeman. Investigation is my job. I have been to the scene. Although many traces have been repaired, there are still some residues. Some situations are still something that someone is willing to tell me. The attack occurred in the first half of the night. In addition to masking, the attacker was short and concise, and mostly used cold weapons such as bayonets. Be familiar with the internal environment of the hotel, and directly went to the suite where you live on the third floor. This means that after investigation in advance, I wanted to enter the Windsor Hotel for investigation. There were only two ways. The first was to disguise as a guest, and the second was to observe from the outside. The check-in record of the hotel was in the hands of the investigation team, so I had no way to investigate, so I could only observe from the outside to find clues..."

Lu Xiyan was not surprised. It was not difficult for Meng Hao to find the church loft opposite the Windsor Hotel and find footprints in the attic.

"The mute Lao Zhang is missing. The priest of the church told me that his brother-in-law had been with Inspector General Tang, and he also asked him about the mute Lao Zhang's address, and the clues were also cut off." Meng Hao said dejectedly.

The mute Lao Zhang is not dead, and he is almost recovering from health now, but he can no longer appear in front of others. The Sun Ninja who killed him should be determined that he had died long ago.

He originally hoped that the portrait would find the Japanese ninja samurai who killed him, but most of the clues provided were of no use.

That's why he went to find Luo Yaozu.

Although Luo Yaozu found some names and told him the identities of the people who attacked him, there was no definite news about where these people were hiding.

He is also waiting for news from Luo Yaozu.

Meng Hao didn't know about the portrait. If he could find out this, he would really underestimate him.

"When we found the mute Lao Zhang, he had been murdered." Lu Xiyan said, "I personally cooked his body. Because the weather is hot, the body has rotted and smelly. I cremated the body and buried it."

"Also, we found a portrait of a character in a copy of Buddhist scriptures by the mute Lao Zhang family. It was the mysterious Japanese ninja samurai he met when he cleaned the attic in the church. Tang Jin and I published a missing person notice in the newspaper, using the portrait of this person."

Meng Hao was very surprised. He didn't expect that Lu Xiyan and Tang Jin had found such a critical clue, but they were secretly informed to the outside world, and even deliberately suppressed the case and hung it up.

It is obvious that Tang Jin is not concerned about the case of Lu Xiyan's attack, but a strategic need.

It is impossible to solve this case in a short time, or even find and catch the murderer. Even if the murderer is found, it is hard to say whether he can catch someone.

He didn't know whether it was his brother-in-law Lu Xiyan's idea or Tang Jin's. If it was his brother-in-law's brother-in-law, he would have to get to know his brother-in-law again.

Do your sister know that my brother-in-law has such deep scheming?

"Brother-in-law, doing this will definitely alarm the enemy. If this person hides or leaves Shanghai, how can we find him?" Meng Hao followed the analysis.

"That's why we have to hang up this case and let the outside world slowly forget it." Lu Xiyan explained.

"I understand." Meng Hao nodded. Neither brother-in-law nor Tang Jin gave up looking for the murderer. He just changed his strategy, hid his ideas, and waited patiently for the opponent to relieve the danger and jumped out. But is the murderer still in Shanghai?

Also, is the motive of the murderer's attack on Lu Xiyan?

It seems that my brother-in-law never mentioned this motive from beginning to end. Did he know whether he said it or didn’t know?

This is hard to figure out.

According to my brother-in-law's approach, it is the safest thing at the moment, but why did he go to find uncle Yaozu again? Uncle Yaozu must have known a lot of inside information, and he also concealed it from himself.

Why didn't these two people know what they were doing?

Meng Hao was in a daze, and he had his own affairs. Since Chen Ye came to the door, he was afraid that he would not let him go easily.

"Haozi, I hope you don't continue to investigate this case. It's not that I don't trust you, I'm afraid you will ruin the plan between Inspector General Tang, do you understand?" Lu Xiyan reminded solemnly, "If you continue to investigate, it will cause a murderous disaster. Don't blame your brother-in-law for not reminding you."

"I understand, can't I do not check it?" Meng Hao agreed.

...

"How is Xiyan Xiaohao agreed?"

"I won't go to this case for the time being. This kid went to see Uncle Yaozu tonight. I guess he heard something. What I am worried about now is that this kid may have joined some secret organization, so it will be troublesome." Lu Xiyan said.

"Secret organization?" Meng Fanxing was shocked, "Is it the Military Control Commission?"

"The Military Control Commission and the Central Administration are all possible. It is hard to say now, but based on my observation of Yaozu's uncle, he should not be like the Military Control Commission, and some of his practices are very similar to Yan'an."

"Yan'an..." Meng Fanxing muttered silently and stopped talking.

"Go to sleep, don't worry. I have made arrangements for Haozi's safety and will not let him have anything to do." Lu Xiyan said with a stable wife.

"Xiyan, otherwise, I will talk to him again and let him go to Hong Kong?"

"You don't know this boy's temper. You can come over what he decided." Lu Xiyan shook his head and said, "Forget it, he has started a family and started a career. Let him choose the future path himself. You, a sister, cannot take care of him for the rest of his life."

"I want to send Xiaorui and Xiaohui to Hong Kong?"

"I have no objection to Xiaorui going to Hong Kong, but if Xiaohui goes, what should Xiaohe do?" Lu Xiyan said, "Can you go with me? We can't let the mother and daughter separate their flesh and blood, right?"

"Or what if we find another cook in our family?"

"It's hard to find a cook like Xiao He." Lu Xiyan sighed. It was not that he was selfish. He was used to eating the food Xiao He made. He was a little reluctant and unaccustomed to changing someone else. But if Xiao Rui was sent to Hong Kong and Xiao Hui stayed there, it was not a difference. For the child, it would be hurt.

"I'll ask Sister He tomorrow and see what she wants to say."

"That's fine, then go to bed early."

The next day, when Lu Xiyan got up in the morning, he was doing morning exercises in the garden. Lao Ma came over to tell him that Lao Mao had come to Shanghai and asked him to meet him. He would choose the location.

Lu Xiyan thought about it and found that Hu Yunzhi’s Tongmin Tea House was very suitable. He and Hu Yunzhi were acquaintances. Meeting and drinking tea would not arouse others’ suspicion.

What's more, Tongmin Tea House was their secret transportation station.
