The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 264 Check yourself

Grand View Garden Bath.

It has been three days since it closed.

Lu Liankui was very anxious. If he didn't open for three days, not only would he make a lot less money every day, but many people working in the bathhouse would also have to bear the burden.

Many of these people are not employees of the bathhouse, such as those who take baths, perform pedicures, and massage. They are paid on a piece-rate basis.

If there are no guests here, they will naturally go elsewhere. If you are a good master, other bathhouses will compete for it and take away a large number of guests.

Even if you sign a contract with the Grand View Garden Bathhouse and you can't leave, the bathhouse will have to guarantee your income. If you make a positive and negative decision, the loss will be huge.

Moreover, the bathtub boiler cannot be stopped casually. Even if it is for maintenance, it will not be completely stopped. If it stops and starts burning again, the cost will be even greater.

Lu Liankui was extremely anxious.

Not only can't he make any money every day, but he also has to wait for you to give him money. This makes Lu Liankui, who loves money as much as his life, unbearable.

Akagi Kiyuki has intervened in the case. He wants to investigate the cause of Huang Fusen's death. He is also the detective of the patrol room. Even the boss can't stop him from investigating, right?
The patrolmen down here are watching.

After the death of a detective, the top brass of the police department wanted to make the matter a trivial matter, so it is understandable that this matter would fall on others.

Originally, the Chinese arresters were already dissatisfied with the lack of salary increase. If the conflicts were further intensified due to this case and the Chinese arresters went on strike and took to the streets, the order in the concession would be in chaos. At this time, if the Japanese took advantage of the situation and robbed them again, how should they deal with it?
It has been three days since Kitaro Miyamoto took over and led the case investigation. Apart from closing the Grand View Garden bathhouse and conducting a comprehensive autopsy on Huang Fusen, not much has been discovered.

However, Kitana Miyamoto relied on her intuition and said there was something wrong with Huang Fusen's death, and refused to sign the case as "death by accidental drowning".

This is where things get stuck.

Lu Liankui, a consultant to the pseudo-Shanghai Avenue City Government, invited Nishimura, a Japanese consultant, to intercede and get Kitaro Miyamoto to agree to allow the Grand View Garden Bathhouse to resume operations. At most, the room where Huang Fusen's accident occurred would be sealed off. No one would be willing to go there anyway.

But Kitaro Miyamoto just disagreed.

The reason is very simple. Before this case is investigated, all the current conditions of the Grand View Garden Bathhouse cannot be moved. Once it is moved, the key clues or traces will probably be destroyed, and there will be no possibility of investigating the case clearly.

Cheng Mo couldn't help at all in this matter, just look at Miyamoto Kitaro's attitude towards Cheng Mo, so Lu Liankui didn't look for him.

But procrastinating like this is not the answer.

I don’t know who gave Lu Liankui the idea. Since Kitaro Miyamoto believed that Huang Fusen was murdered, then he couldn’t solve the case, so he just had to find someone who could solve the case and find the murderer?

You didn't find any evidence, and you're preventing people from opening the business. What do you mean? The concession is not your Japanese territory?

The complaint went to the top management of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, so General Director Fan Kering decided to convene a temporary board of directors to discuss how to solve this problem.

Soon, an order came down.

Within a week, if Miyamoto Kitaro cannot find evidence to prove that Huang Fusen was murdered, the case will be closed as an "accident" and the Grand View Garden Bathhouse will be open for business.

If evidence is found, whether the Grand View Garden Bathhouse will be open depends on the situation.

What's even more surprising is that Lu Liankui actually suggested to the police department that Cheng Mo also participate in the investigation of Huang Fusen's case.

When Cheng Mo received the order, he was immediately stunned.

Although Huang Fusen did not kill himself, it was Liu Guoxing who did it under his instruction after all. Doesn't this mean he wants to investigate himself?
The first reaction was to call Pride and tentatively ask if he could make a substitution. He also used the quarrel he had with Huang Fusen a few days ago as a shield.

But obviously, this excuse is useless. Pride did not agree because he could not make the decision. This order came from above and was strongly suggested by Lu Liankui.

"Old Lu, you know that Kitaro Miyamoto and I don't get along, but you still let me get involved in this case. You don't hate me enough because you are him, right?" Cheng Mo was also rude and hung up the phone directly to Lu Liankui's office. A question.

"Brother Cheng, calm down and listen to me. I can't help it. Miyamoto is too difficult to deal with. If he insists on holding on to this case and doesn't let go, I don't know when the Grand View Garden Bathhouse will be reopened. I After thinking about it, you are a master at solving crimes. Didn't I ask you to solve the murder of Taro Nojiri before?" Lu Liankui said.

"These two cases are different and incomparable. Brother Lu, you are putting me on the fire," Cheng Mo said.

"Help me, Brother Yu will be grateful in the future!" Lu Liankui begged on the phone.

"Brother, I really want to thank you. You were worried that I would have nothing to do and would cause trouble for me. Is there anyone like you who would specifically harm your brothers?"

"I can't help it. In this way, you and your siblings will be free of charge when you go to the Grand View Garden in the future."

"How much money should I give you for taking a bath?"

"Brother Cheng, even if you owe me a favor, no, I owe you a favor, you must help me this time. This case was originally very simple, just an accident. How could Miyamoto insist on a murder? It's inexplicable..." Lu Liankui was also full of resentment. This man was already dead and he still couldn't live. Why bother him?

"Forget it, just think of it as something I owed you in my previous life. However, I insist on continuing to investigate this case. I'm afraid there may be some inside story. You have to be mentally prepared for this." Cheng Mo said.

"No way. I also went to see the scene of this case. There is no doubt about it. He just had a heart attack and drowned in the bathtub."

"Don't you have any alarm equipment installed in your high-end bathrooms?" Cheng Mo asked, "How can guests call people outside or call for help once they have needs or have an accident?"

"We have this, but unfortunately, the alarm circuit was aging that day, and we were about to find someone to come over to repair it, and something like this happened..." Lu Liankui hesitated to explain.

"The main reason why I file a lawsuit with you is to focus on you. You will at least be liable for civil compensation. Brother Lu, I hope Miyamoto doesn't discover this..."

"Brother Cheng, I'll tell you later, I have something going on here!" On the other end of the phone, Lu Liankui hung up in a hurry. Apparently something happened.

This really means that if you don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you.

Cheng Mo had no choice but to find Xu Qinghe.

Investigating this case did not require too many manpower. Cheng Mo originally wanted to go to the scene alone, but after thinking about it, two people were more suitable.

Drive to the Grand View Garden Bathhouse.

The door of the bathhouse has been sealed, and there are two policemen with armed guns standing at the door. The door is ajar, and there are two black cars parked next to it.

One is Lu Liankui's car, a Dodge, and the other is a Ford.

Cheng Mo and Xu Qinghe stepped forward, but were stopped by the patrolman at the door. Cheng Mo had to show his ID, but still could not enter.

Apparently they had orders from the people inside not to allow anyone to enter.

"Sorry, Detective Cheng, you can't go in without permission."

"I was ordered to come here to investigate the case. If you stop me, do you know the consequences?" Cheng Mo was not polite to the other party and scolded him sternly.

"No one can enter without Inspector Miyamoto's order."

"Okay, if you don't go in, you won't go in. I didn't want to go into this muddy water." Cheng Mo was also annoyed. He didn't want to directly conflict with Miyamoto. Anyway, even if Miyamoto solved the case, he wouldn't be able to catch anyone. He really wasn't afraid at all.
