A photo album.

Cao Youguang reached out and grabbed the photo album and couldn't wait to open it. It was all photos of a young man.

"Is this person Tan Kai?" Yang Denghuan asked, pointing to the young man in the photo.

"Yes." Bian Si glanced at the photo and nodded.

"It's different from what I saw." Yang Denghuan said.

"Nonsense, what you saw was a corpse, how can it be the same?" Cao Youguang rolled his eyes at Yang Denghuan and said.

As Cao Youguang spoke, he carefully flipped through the photos and examined each photo carefully, as if he wanted to see something famous in the photos.

The young man in the photo is very handsome. You can imagine that during the Republic of China, if you didn't have a special hobby, who could have a photo album?
There are many backgrounds in the photos, including Shanghai, Qingdao, and even cities such as Chengdu and Chongqing, but the only person in the photo is Tan Kai, and there is no photo with anyone else.

Cao Youguang turned the page very slowly, as if he was experiencing every stage of Tan Kai's life.

Although Cao Youguang flipped through the pages slowly, the photo album was very thin after all, and it didn't take long for him to finish flipping through it. When he reached the last page, Cao Youguang's eyes lit up, and he finally saw a photo of Tan Kai and someone else.

Cao Youguang held this group photo in his hand and looked at it carefully.

There are two people in the photo, one is Tan Kai, and the other is also a young man, about 30 or [-] years old, wearing a round hat on his head and a slightly larger suit. Since it is a black and white photo, it is difficult to tell them apart. Clear suit color.

The background of the photo is a ship docked in the harbor. The three words "Jixing" on the bow show that the ship is the ship where Tan Kai served, and the harbor is the Shanghai Port on the Huangpu River.

Not far from the photo, there are still young people’s luggage and packages piled up, as if they had just gotten off the ship.

In the lower part of the photo, there are the words "Shanghai Huangpu River Memorial, June 1936".

"Have you seen this person?" Yang Denghuan asked Bian Si, pointing to another person in the photo.

Bian Sizai looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "No, I haven't seen it."

"Hasn't this person come to see Tan Kai? Take a closer look." Yang Denghuan asked again.

Bian Si picked up the photo, looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "Probably not."

After hearing this, Cao Youguang became a little angry and said unhappily: "Look carefully! If it is there, it is there, if it is not there, it is not! What do you mean it should not be?"

Bian Sifeng said with aggrievedness: "Think about it, my Hujiang apartment is not just a building, there are hundreds of people inside and outside. How can I remember it so clearly?"

Yang Denghuan thought about it. Biansi was just a concierge. As long as there was nothing special, how could he care about a certain person? If it was a beautiful woman, that would be it.

"Who in this building is Tan Kai usually closer to?" Yang Denghuan asked after thinking for a while.

Since all the employees of Qinghe Shipping Company in this building are Tan Kai's colleagues, it is estimated that there will be many people working together on the same ship, and there must be one or two colleagues who are relatively close to him. Have some understanding.

"Tan Kai..." Bian Si thought for a moment and hesitated.

To be honest, if it hadn't been for this incident, Bian Si would have had almost no impression of Tan Kai.

It was so unobtrusive, as if the person had never been in the apartment.

Suddenly, Bian Si seemed to remember that one of Tan Kai's colleagues seemed to have asked him once, what was that colleague's name?

Bian Si racked his brains and finally realized that the person seemed to live in room 318.

That's right, it was room 318. Bian Si couldn't remember the specific name of that person.

"I don't have much contact with them. These crew members usually don't eat here. They usually spend their time and entertainment in places where Japanese people gather in Hong Kong. Tan Kai is a bit lonely, so I only know that he seems to have a colleague there. Room 318, the two of them seem to have a good relationship." Bian Si said as he thought about it.

"Room 318, take us there." Cao Youguang said.

"I don't know if anyone is at home right now. It's almost five o'clock." Bian Si took out his pocket watch and took a look at it and said, "At this time, they are most likely to be at the Sailor's Club or an Izakaya in Hongkou."

"Let's see and then talk about it." Cao Youguang said with an expressionless face after finally coming to the apartment, but why was he willing to return without success.

Bian Si took Cao Youguang out. Yang Denghuan looked around the room again, feeling something in his heart.

The room is too clean. Although there are daily necessities, it always feels like a decoration.

The layout of this room is very much like a model house from later generations, lacking a sense of life.

Yang Denghuan shook his head and was the last one to go out of the house. After closing the door, he put the seal again.

There was a knock on the door from the other side of the corridor. After a while, a squeaking sound was heard, the door opened, and a man asked: "Who are you looking for?"

Yang Denghuan put up the seal and walked towards the room with the door open. Before he could reach it, he heard Cao Youguang asking: "What's your name?"

"Are you kidding me? Come find me! Ask me what my name is? Please tell me clearly!" The man's voice was long and sharp, which sounded quite harsh in the quiet corridor.

After the man finished speaking, he reached out to close the door, but many other rooms opened their doors one after another, looking out to see what was going on.

"From the patrol room! If you don't want to talk here, let's go back and talk." Cao Youguang blocked the door with one hand and said coldly.

"Are you from the patrol room? I'm still from the public prosecutor's office! How can you be so polite when knocking on the door of the patrol room!" The man closed the door forcefully again.

Yang Denghuan thrust the ID card in his hand directly in front of the man, wishing he could stick it on his face.

"See clearly! Mr. Gong Dong Bureau." Yang Denghuan said with a smile.

"Oh! He is really the master of the patrol room!" The man was startled and said quickly.

Bang bang bang!
The sound of closing doors suddenly sounded in the corridor. In an instant, the doors of all rooms except room 318 were closed.

"What do you want to do with me? I don't do any bad things! Even if I pick up a penny on the road, I have to hand it over to your patrol master." The man said exaggeratedly in a sharp voice.

"Let me ask you something about Tan Kai. Let's go in and talk." Yang Denghuan reached out and pushed the man.

"Tan Kai? I'm not familiar with him! We're just on the same boat! There are too many crew members on the same boat as Tan Kai in this building. Why are you looking for me! I have to go later. Dancing!" The man said dissatisfiedly as he backed away.

"Just asking a few questions won't take you long." Yang Denghuan followed and said.

In the room, a seductively dressed woman was sitting on the edge of the bed, smoking a cigarette leisurely. When she saw a few people suddenly entering the room, she smiled contemptuously and said, "The gentlemen from the patrol room are here. It seems that there is no chance today."

"Who is she?" Cao Youguang glanced at the woman and asked.

"A friend." The man looked a little embarrassed.

"Go back without advance." Cao Youguang said to the woman.The woman stood up without saying a word, took her handbag, glanced at the man proudly, swayed three times, and swayed out of the house.

"Eh..." the man said dissatisfiedly: "Wait for me downstairs! I've already paid!"

"Don't you care about your apartment?" Yang Denghuan asked, pointing at the woman running away.

"I don't care." Bian Si shook his head and said, "One is willing to beat and the other is willing to suffer. Can we care about it?"

"Can they enter and leave the apartment at will?" Yang Denghuan asked again.

"You can't see it, you can't see it..."

Bian Si's answer was very reluctant. Before he finished speaking, the man had already taken over and said, "Come on! In which month will they not make an offering to you? If they don't make an offering, how can you not see it?"

Bian Si looked very embarrassed, looking to the side and ignoring the man.

"Let's ask quickly, you answer quickly, don't delay your own business." Yang Denghuan said seriously.

Sure enough, the man said anxiously: "You should ask! Let's not waste time!"

"What's your name?" Yang Denghuan asked.

"Liu Dezhu."

"Can you keep it? I don't think you can keep it." Yang Deng said with a smile.

"Can you be more serious?" Liu Dezhu said seriously.

Yang Denghuan finally couldn't help it and laughed. Bian Si was also smiling, and Liu Dezhu glared at Yang Denghuan angrily.

Cao Youguang took out the group photo and asked, "Do you know this person?"

The man turned his head and glanced, and said unhappily: "Isn't this nonsense! If I don't know Tan Kai, can you come to me?"

"It's not about Tan Kai, the one next to Tan Kai!" Cao Youguang said.

"That one next to you?" Liu Dezhu turned around and looked again, shook his head and said, "I don't know him."

"Don't you know? This was taken near your boat!" Cao Youguang said, shaking the photo.

"I really don't know him! Tan Kai is an engineer and I am a sailor. We usually don't eat at the same table on the ship, and we don't have much contact at all! How do I know who his friends are!" Liu Dezhu said.

"Are you a sailor? What are your main responsibilities?" Yang Denghuan asked.

Liu Dezhu glanced at Yang Denghuan with disdain and said: "What are you responsible for? If you can be responsible for a specific type of work on the ship, you are considered a technician! You are already considered a middle-level person on the ship! At least 60 yuan a month! Ordinary sailors like us , they are all hard-working people, they have to do all kinds of errands, and they only make 25 yuan a month!”

"Such a big difference!" Yang Denghuan said pretending to be surprised, with a rather unfair tone.

Liu Dezhu's impression of Yang Denghuan suddenly improved a lot. He nodded and said, "That's right. How can you reason with this!"

"Is Tan Kai a skilled worker? Does he have certain privileges on the ship?" Yang Denghuan asked again.

Liu Dezhu nodded and said with some jealousy: "Tan Kai is an engineer on the ship. He has his own independent room, eats in the small restaurant, and has five days of paid leave every month. How can we compare with him? "

"Have you had much contact with Tan Kai?" Cao Youguang asked.

"Tan Kai is very arrogant and rarely has contact with Chinese people. Most of his friends on the ship are Japanese. In particular, he has a very close relationship with Genji Ohiro, the cargo hold supervisor, and he always ignores us."

When Liu Dezhu mentioned Tan Kai, all three of them complained quite a bit.

"Then what's going on between you and Tan Kai? I heard that you two have a good relationship." Yang Denghuan asked.

Liu Dezhu glared at Bian Si with hatred, and Bian Si quickly looked away.

"I don't know which little bastard is talking nonsense." Liu Dezhu complained in a low voice.

"Tell me about it. I don't know if the person downstairs is impatient." Yang Deng said with a smile.

"Tan Kai and I are from the same hometown. We are both from Qingpu Town and live not far away. He may be afraid that I will talk nonsense when I return to my hometown, so he is quite polite to me." Liu Dezhu said.

"Going back to your hometown and talking nonsense?" Yang Denghuan asked with some confusion.

"Of course!" Liu Dezhu said proudly: "I know this Tan Kai very well! We often played together when we were young. Later he became a soldier and did not return to his hometown for many years. We almost have We haven’t seen each other for seven or eight years. I didn’t expect that he suddenly joined Qinghe Shipping Company. He didn’t expect that I was here too! At first, he pretended that he didn’t know me. It wasn’t until I called out his nickname, Gouzi, that he admit."

Yang Denghuan and Cao Youguang looked at each other and nodded gently. Cao Youguang asked, "What's the matter with Tan Kai? Are you afraid that you will talk nonsense when you return home?"

"A woman! Of course she is a woman! Tan Kai has a wife in his hometown! And she is a baby girl!" Liu Dezhu said.

"You mean Tan Kai has a woman in Shanghai?" Yang Denghuan asked in surprise.

"Of course! For 60 yuan a month, what are you looking for if you don't have a woman! It's not like us, we have a woman and a policeman to make trouble." At the end of the sentence, Liu Dezhu's voice was almost inaudible.

"What kind of woman is she? Have you seen her?" Yang Denghuan asked, holding back his laughter.

"Japanese woman! So beautiful! I heard that the girl from a certain restaurant is not very clean! She went to the boat to find Tan Kai once, and I just happened to bump into her." At this point, Liu Dezhu's face showed blasphemy. With a smile, he said: "Maybe I have looked for him many times, but I bumped into him just once."

"What's the woman's name? Do you know?" Cao Youguang asked again.

"I heard Tan Kai call her, it seemed like... something... Dunzi. I was still surprised at the time. What kind of woman is called Dunzi? Could it be that someone else would sit there?" Liu Dezhu said this and smiled excitedly. road.

"Do you know where this Dunzi works?" Cao Youguang asked.

"I can't remember the name, but you can tell at a glance that this woman does that! She is probably a dancer, she seems to be working in a Japanese restaurant." Liu Dezhu thought for a long time and said.

"Think about it again, what else does Tan Kai have to say to us?" Cao Youguang asked.

"No more! We actually have very little contact. At most we just meet and say hello." Liu Dezhu had a pleading look on his face, looking at the door from time to time. He must have been excited just now.

"Go ahead, run faster and maybe you can catch up." Yang Deng said with a smile.

"Hey!" Liu Dezhu agreed, rushed out of the door, and shouted: "Bian Si, lock the door for me later!"

"Remember what happened to Tan Kai? Report to us in time!" Yang Denghuan shouted from behind.

Liu Dezhu agreed from a distance.

Yang Deng said with a smile: "Tan Kai has a Japanese woman, which is an unexpected bonus!" (End of Chapter)
