Spy War 1929

Chapter 80
Xiang Shujing stood aside, and when he heard Feng Jingyao's words, he was startled suddenly, he forgot that there was one more important thing that he hadn't said while talking about Chen Ledao just now.

"Master, I'm afraid someone has already taken action on this matter." Uncle Xiang's face became serious.

"Today, the people below have heard that many places in Shanghai are saying that the DuPont incident was done by you, the master, and what you said is well-founded, and some people are even praising that you, the master, are doing it for the people of the country. .”

Feng Jingyao is well-known and notorious in Shanghai, but this is the first time that his good name has been passed on.

He frowned. Although this remark was a compliment, it wasn't necessarily a good thing!Just like the brightly colored poppies with beautiful flowers and leaves.

"Where did these words come from?" Feng Jingyao asked in a deep voice.

"The place where it was first reported was not in the French Concession. I asked someone to check it, but I couldn't find who sent it. I am afraid that someone behind the scenes is manipulating it and deliberately avoiding our sight."

The power of Feng's Chamber of Commerce is the strongest in the French Concession. In the entire French Concession, except for Feng's Chamber of Commerce, there are only a few forces like Fatty Jin, which cannot be compared with Feng's Chamber of Commerce.

But outside of the French Concession, the people of Feng's Chamber of Commerce did not handle things as easily as they did in the French Concession.

The huge Shanghai Bund cannot be controlled by Feng Shangshi Chamber of Commerce.Some places in Shanghai are still not just what Feng Jingyao says.

Frowning deeply, Uncle Xiang's words made Feng Jingyao feel bad.

"We can't let these remarks continue to spread, we have to stop them all." Feng Jingyao shook his head slightly, there was no joy or anger in his voice, only the composure after going through the storm.

"I understand," Uncle Xiang nodded. He has already asked someone to do this.

Mai Lan's arrest room, the inspector's office, Tielin looked at Brother Liu's investigation results in the past two days, and his brows were deeply frowned into a word of Sichuan.

"This is what you found for me?" Tielin's voice sank.

Brother Liu showed a bitter face. He was responsible for Dupont's accident. He was able to keep his current position on patrol because Tielin saved him.Of course, the hard work of investigating the murderer fell on him.

"Inspector, it's not that I didn't investigate carefully, it's just that those people are too cunning. I searched all the streets around the street where the car was attacked and the street where the car was found. One of the nearby residents disappeared, and I visited and inquired about all of them. Did not find any useful clues.

After the death of Mr. Dupont, that group transferred all of Mr. Dupont's belongings, and then evaporated out of thin air without a trace. "

Tielin stared at Brother Liu, this guy was usually a sneaky and slippery master in the arresting room, and he didn't bother to care about it, but this time he caused such a big trouble for him.

Seeing the bitterness and fear in his tone, Tielin felt helpless.

This guy is an old fritter, but because of this, he also knows the importance of the matter. This time the matter is related to the French, and he provoked it, so he dare not mess around in this matter.

With a "click", Tielin threw the thing on the table. If he dared to show this stupid thing to the director, he'd better bring a towel with him.

Pacing up and down in the room, rubbing the back of his head with his palm, Tielin's thoughts turned quickly.

There are still two days left, no matter what, I have to get something useful, otherwise the director can't explain it.

"Who are the people who have grievances with DuPont that I asked you to investigate?" Tielin stopped and looked up at Brother Liu.

Brother Liu tilted his head and thought for a while, then quickly said:
"Recently, there are mainly three people who have feuded against him. One is Chen Lianshan, the former director of Lianshan Textile Factory. DuPont wanted to buy the land of Lianshan Textile Factory and entrusted Mr. Feng to help. Chen Lianshan was unwilling to sell it, but was forced to buy it.

Then there is Chen Ledao, the owner of Yeweiyang Song and Dance Hall. It was published in the newspaper earlier that there is also a grudge between him and Mr. Du Pont.

The last one is Mr. Feng. Now many people are spreading the news that Mr. Feng was responsible for the death of Du Pont.But the specific reason is unclear. It seems that after Mr. Feng got the land of Lianshan Spinning Factory, Mr. Du Pont suddenly changed his mind and stopped doing business with Mr. Feng. "

It was a matter of his own future, Brother Liu didn't dare not be serious, knowing that the inspector was good at solving cases, he devoted all his energy to everything that the inspector gave him.

The sooner DuPont can turn this matter over, the better for him.

Tielin sat leaning against the edge of the desk, rubbing the rough stubble on his chin with his thumb and forefinger. It was almost impossible to find clues about the location of the incident, so he could only find a breakthrough point from DuPont's own task relationship.The three people mentioned by Lao Liu just now are indeed more suspicious than the other.

With an idea in his mind, he looked at Brother Liu.

"Go and investigate that boss Ye Weiyang and the grievances between Feng Jingyao and Du Pont."

"Ah!" Brother Liu showed a bitter face again.

Before Tielin could stare, Brother Liu said:
"Inspector, Ye Weiyang is fine, but Mr. Feng hastily went to investigate his affairs, it's not very good." Brother Liu squirmed, with a troubled expression on his face, I do all the hard work, but I can't be allowed to do this kind of work It's a terrible life!
"What are you afraid of? I didn't ask you to conduct a detailed and in-depth investigation," Tielin roared bitterly.He can't do big things well, but he is quite good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

"Didn't you say that someone outside said that Feng Jingyao did it? Go and find out these things for me. If you don't know anything, investigate and investigate. If you don't understand this matter in the end, don't even think about sitting on the bench under your ass." Steady."

Brother Liu is submissive, with a grievance on his face, why are you shouting so loudly, just investigate!
"Hurry up and get out, you hurry up on this matter, I will see the result tomorrow!" Tielin chased away people full of disgust, and he got angry when he saw this bastard.

No matter what you do, trouble No.1.

"Second, take two people and go out with me."

Chasing Brother Liu away, Tielin walked out of the office with his patrol cap and shouted at a person.

"Inspector, where are we going?" asked the inspector who got into the car and drove.

"Inspector, here we are."

The car stopped not far from Chen Lianshan's house. The four got out of the car and looked around. Tielin approached the alley, looking for the house numbers one by one.

He had read about the Lianshan Spinning Factory incident in the newspaper, and Feng Jingyao had a direct relationship with Chen Lianshan. Chen Lianshan had very little suspicion about the DuPont incident.But with the idea of ​​hitting a shot with dates or no dates, Tielin decided to take a look.

Soon after finding the location of Chen Lianshan's home, Tielin asked someone to knock on the door.

With a "creak", the door was opened, looking at the person who opened the door, Tielin and the others were startled.

Chen Hanlin opened the door, and saw four police officers standing outside, he was also taken aback.

"Who are you?" Chen Hanlin looked at them and asked in confusion.

"I'm Tielin, the inspector of the Mailan arresting house. This is the home of Factory Director Chen Lianshan, right? I need to talk to Factory Director Chen about something."

The evaluation of Chen Lianshan in the newspaper was good. Although the things in the newspaper were not to be believed, Tielin had a basic respect for Chen Lianshan before things became clear.

Hearing the word "Director Chen", Chen Hanlin frowned, but he calmed down quickly.

"I'm Chen Hanlin, and I work in the central arresting house. Captain Tie, what's the reason you're looking for my father?" While speaking, Chen Hanlin stepped aside to open the door and let a few people in.

Chen Hanlin had heard the name of Tielin from the arresting house of Mai Lan from other people in the arresting house. The detection rate of the arresting house of Mai Lan ranked first among several arresting houses because of the inspector Tielin.

It is said that several generations of Tie Lin's ancestors have been fast catchers and are very experienced in handling cases. Tielin inherited the talent of his ancestors and is very good at handling cases.

At the same time, Tielin is also a rare clean stream among all the patrol chiefs of the arresting house.In private, most of the patrols in the central arresting room have good evaluations of Tielin.

For such a person, Chen Hanlin also has some respect in his heart, especially after he entered the patrol room and experienced the terrible environment in the patrol room.

When Tielin entered Chen Hanlin's home, he was surprised that Chen Lianshan's son was a policeman, but this didn't mean much.Not all patrols in the French Concession were good birds.

Chen Lianshan was practicing handwriting in the study, and came out when he heard the voice. He saw Tielin and a few police officers who thought it was his son's colleagues. After some chatting, he realized that he was here to investigate the shooting of Du Pont.

Chen Lianshan naturally knew about DuPont, and Chen Hanlin had been on the streets for the past two days helping to find relevant clues.

There is no ghost in his heart, Chen Lianshan is very cooperative with Tielin, answering every question.

"You said that it was Chen Ledao who persuaded you to sell Lianshan Spinning Factory?" During the conversation, Tielin heard a name that surprised him.

"Yes." Chen Lianshan nodded.

"What's your relationship?" Thinking of the two people having the same surname, Tielin suddenly felt that Chen Ledao's suspicion became huge, even overshadowing the most suspicious Feng Jingyao.

A plot of a son avenging his father instantly appeared in his mind.

But Chen Lianshan shook his head, making Tielin's guess come to naught.

"It doesn't matter, he is a friend of my son's classmate."

"Aren't you relatives?" Tielin wanted to ask if the two were father and son, but changed his words when the words came to his lips.

Hearing this, Chen Lianshan couldn't help but look at Chen Hanlin on the other side, he thought that Chen Ledao could be his son.

"No, he came back from France. Although they are all surnamed Chen, it doesn't matter."

Although they were all surnamed Chen, his own son was obviously inferior to other people's sons. Thinking of this, Chen Lianshan glared at Chen Hanlin again.

Tiger father and dog son! !

Tielin nodded, a little disappointed, he once thought he was close to the truth just now.

After chatting for a few more words, Tielin didn't stay at Chen's house for a long time, so Chen Hanlin sent a few people out.When leaving, Tielin looked back at Chen Hanlin, and glanced at the whistle on his chest.

"Are you from the street patrol team?"

"Yes," Chen Hanlin nodded.

"Did your arrest house get any news clues on the street in the past two days?"

"No," Chen Hanlin shook his head.

"Okay, work hard, I hope you don't fall into your father's reputation."

Tielin didn't have any hope at all, even if the people in the central arresting room got any news, it was impossible for them to tell them about the Mailan arresting house.Even though he is the inspector, Chen Hanlin is only the lowest-level street patrol.

Through the chat just now, he felt that the evaluation of Chen Lianshan in the newspaper was very pertinent.He knew exactly what kind of policeman he was, and he only hoped that Chen Lianshan's son could also become a decent policeman.

"Go back to the capture room." In the car, Tielin said.

"Inspector, did Chen Lianshan do it?" asked the inspector next to him.

The inspector and Chen Lianshan chatted there for a long time, but they couldn't hear anything from it.

Tielin shook his head, "Probably not."

Thinking back to the conversation with Chen Lianshan, the other party's calmness and calmness did not seem to be pretending.When asked about the grievances and grievances with DuPont, he also told the truth without any guilt.

But it's not all fruitless!Tielin thought of another suspect.

In Chen Lianshan's words, Chen Ledao was mentioned, and it was Du Pont who really wanted to buy the land of Lianshan Spinning Factory. Chen Ledao also told Chen Lianshan about it.Then why did Chen Ledao know?
Could it be that Chen Ledao and Du Pont had grievances for a long time, otherwise how would they know about this?
Before coming here, he didn't expect to get something related to Chen Ledao in this line of business, but if he didn't let it go, it made him more conflicted.

Chen Ledao persuaded Chen Lianshan to sell the cotton mill. Isn't this just in line with DuPont's wishes!
Is this vendetta or grace?

Tielin returned to the patrol room with puzzlement and suspicion in his heart, and was going to wait for the results of Lao Liu's investigation before making any plans.

Received a call from Ye Weiyang during the day, Chen Ledao didn't go home directly after get off work, separated from Xue Liangying, and drove to Ye Weiyang.

Yeweiyang was as lively as ever, with people coming in and out of the gate from time to time.It has been open for almost two months, and there are already a number of regular customers here.

"Boss," just as the car stopped, a waiter ran over to open the door for Chen Ledao.

In the respectful address of the boss, Chen Ledao went up to the third floor and went to his office.The house is neat, clean and spotless.There are people here every day to clean up.Just sat down behind the desk, "dong dong knock on the door" sounded.

"Boss," Wei Zhengyun walked in.

"Sit," Chen Ledao pointed to the opposite chair.

After Wei Zhengyun sat down, he said again: "Tell me carefully what's going on?"

The reason why he rushed over was because Wei Zhengyun said on the phone that someone was spying on him near Ye Weiyang, especially about Du Pont.

However, that person didn't know whether it was because of his audacity, or he didn't know what to do, so he directly inquired around Ye Weiyang, treating the people in Ye Weiyang as nothing.

"Today during the day, the newsboy who often delivers newspapers in the dance hall suddenly ran into the dance hall and found a waiter. He said he wanted to see you, and claimed that he had something to tell you. I will see him later." Wei Zhengyuan said unhurriedly.

"The newsboy told me that someone found him and asked him about Ye Weiyang and you. Not only that, but later he saw that person looking for other people nearby to ask the same question. Realizing that something was wrong, he came in."

Chen Ledao listened quietly, and when he finished speaking, he nodded slightly, then frowned and asked:
"Why did the newsboy tell us these things?"

"Newsboys have their own areas for selling newspapers. In these areas, people occupy them and collect protection fees. After our ballroom opened, there were several waves of people who came to make trouble, but we drove them away. The latter area belongs to us by default. ballroom jurisdiction.

Because of the rules you set, Boss, we didn't charge anyone such as protection fees, so the small businesses around us all agree with us, and naturally don't want anything to happen in our dance hall. "Wei Zhengyun explained.

Knowing the reason, Chen Ledao pondered quietly and did not speak. It seems that the first few rules he set at the beginning were really useful.Without immediately talking about the news, Chen Ledao continued:
"Ye Weiyang is unique in the French Concession. Although it is beneficial for us to do so, a spoiler who breaks the rules is bound to be unpopular. But one thing must be remembered, no matter who is dissatisfied or who makes trouble, the first set A few rules must not be violated." Chen Ledao said firmly.

Back then Wei Zhengyun stayed, not only because Chen Ledao offered so much that he couldn't refuse, but also partly because of Chen Ledao's rules.

[-]. All Yeweiyang's business premises and its personnel are not allowed to sell or smoke opium

Second, all Yeweiyang staff members are not allowed to rape, plunder, bully the weak, or help the evildoers

[-]. All Ye Weiyang staff must strictly abide by all the rules and regulations of Ye Weiyang, and those who violate them will be punished

The three "everythings" were first decided by Chen Ledao. All those who join Yeweiyang Dance Hall will have a similar oath-taking ceremony before entering. Everyone should know these three things.

It wasn't Chen Ledao's whim, it was popular in Shanghai in this era.Compared with the complicated entrance ceremony of the Green Gang, Chen Ledao has simplified many things.

Wei Zhengyuan nodded to express his understanding. He was able to stay here safely because of the three rules set by Chen Ledao, which made him feel that Chen Ledao was different.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the newspaper boy. Have you figured out the identity of that person?" Chen Ledao asked.

"After I got the news from the newsboy, I sent people to follow the man. The man went around a lot, and then he went into the ballroom himself. Finally, I sent people to follow him to the Mailan arrest house. The case of DuPont It is the host of the Mai Lan arrest house, that person should be the patrolman of the Mai Lan arrest house." Wei Zhengyuan said.

After listening to Chen Ledao, he became quiet again. The people from the Mailan arresting house found him so quickly. Is it because I had a grudge with DuPont before, and I was suspected, or was it because the Mailan arresting house found some clues?
Chen Ledao tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about the possible reasons, thinking about it, his thoughts gradually went astray.

"I heard that the inspector of Mailan's arrest house is called Tielin. I don't know if it's the 'Don't make noise, I'll beat you later' Tielin."

A very moist figure was slowly outlined in his mind.

Thinking about it, he suddenly realized that he was thinking a little too far, Chen Ledao quickly regained his senses, seeing Wei Zhengyuan still sitting opposite him, he realized what stupid thing he did just now.

"Zhengyun, what do you think about this?"

Seeing that the boss was contemplating just now, Wei Zhengyun was about to take out his small notebook and wait for the boss's upcoming instructions, but unexpectedly, what he was waiting for was "What do you think?"

Dazed for a moment, he quickly put it down and touched Xiaobenben's hand.

Sit upright.

Ding Li is not here, it's up to me to perform!

In an instant, the names of many people flashed through Wei Zhengyun's head.

Xiao He, Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, Xie An, Fang Mou Duan, Liu Bowen, who else is coming? ? ?

Oh, Wu Yong, the dog-headed military strategist! !
