The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 531 The case is solved
"Extra, Extra, the Paramount Chen Manli case has been solved!"

Cheng Mo acted quickly. Now that Bai Saner's body was found, the issue of evidence became much simpler. He simply arranged for the newspaper to spread the news.

With his current status and ability, every newspaper in the concession would give him some face, especially when it comes to news that attracts people's attention.

Does the newspaper feel that its sales are too high?

So, the news spread throughout Shanghai immediately, but this time the murderer captured was not alive, but a corpse.

And the so-called murderer was just the gunman who fired the shot.

Since he was the gunman who shot and killed people, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the murderer.

It's good that the police station was able to find the shooter. It's much better than some cases that end up being left unresolved without any follow-up.

For the people in the concession, this result was just a topic of conversation after dinner, but for No. 76, it was nothing short of a storm.

Bai Saner was killed by his own people, and then thrown out and buried. The burial location was only known by the people who buried the body.

How did the police get hold of him and dig him out?
Is this unbelievable?

There is someone in No. 76 secretly communicating with the police station!

This is no small matter!
Lin Shiqun immediately realized that there was a big problem here, and ordered Lin Zhijiang to thoroughly investigate all those who participated in killing Bai Saner and transporting him away for burial.

This is so easy to check. Who would care about the death of Bai Saner?

Soon, Lin Shiqun got a clue that Peng Nian had inquired about Bai Saner's whereabouts.

Bai Saner was captured by Peng Nian and his men, and later handed over to No. 76. After that, Bai Saner was under control. Lin Shiqun was certainly worried about Peng Nian, so after he ordered his men to take over Bai Saner, he did not let Peng Nian interfere.

Of course, he didn't dare to ask Bai Saner to change his confession. The matter had been reported to Zhou Fuhai. If he wanted someone to change his confession, wouldn't that be confessing himself?

He simply didn't want Peng Nian to control Bai Saner, for he was afraid that Bai Saner would reveal some secrets to others, which would be difficult to deal with.

Then, after he reached a tacit understanding with Ding Moqun, Bai Saner was no longer useful, so he had Bai Saner executed without hesitation and then disposed of his body.

"It must be Peng Nian, this traitor!" Lin Zhijiang cursed. Now that Wu Sibao is not around, he is the person Lin Shiqun trusts the most in terms of operations.

Naturally, I have to perform hard.

So what if you know? Can you still capture the person and interrogate him?

If the other party denies it, he will be charged with the crime of "persecuting" his colleagues. Moreover, even if Peng Nian inquires about Bai Saner's situation and reveals the location where Bai Saner is buried to the police station, what will happen?
What can you do to him?

It is hard to say whether this was possibly instigated by Ding Mo-jun.

Lao Ding is a very insidious person.

He also had another worry, which was that Ding Moqun would secretly have contact with Cheng Mo, which would be the most troublesome.

Qingqi Qingyin revealed to him that Cheng Mo had a close relationship with the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai. The confidential secretary of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai could enter and leave his house openly, and even the British turned a blind eye and trusted him as always.

This young man's abilities and skills are truly extraordinary.

Moreover, he has money, guns, and connections. Even the members of the Green Gang are older than him, and his sister is Boss Du's godsister.

Boss Du's subordinates also have close relations with him.

He alone colluded with the Japanese, the British and Du Yuesheng (from Chongqing). Such a person was extremely rare in Shanghai.

Many people want to sit in his seat, but they can't. What should I do?
Although Bai Saner is dead, he was Wu Sibao's subordinate, and there is no way the police station would not be able to find out.

Bai Saner was killed to silence him.

Who will silence the witnesses?

He must be the one who masterminded it. He is afraid that he would be betrayed or given out by Bai Saner. As long as Wu Sibao's suspicion is confirmed, Wu Sibao will never be able to come back.

They wanted to force Wu Sibao away forever.

In Shanghai, Wu Sibao is the knife he uses most easily. If this knife is gone, how can he control the situation in Shanghai?

These people were really scheming. He wondered why Ding Moqun was so kind to agree to let him send Wu Sibao away.

It turns out that once you send it away, it will never come back.

He originally planned to let Wu Sibao go out for a while and come back after the matter was settled, but it was obvious that others would not give him this opportunity.

I just don’t know whether it was Ding Mo-cun who found Cheng Mo, or Cheng Mo who found Ding Mo-cun.

Lin Shiqun was very troubled. Wu Sibao had offended Cheng Mo so badly before that all his efforts to repair the relationship were in vain.

If he wants to take action against Cheng Mo, I'm afraid the Japanese will not agree. Is it possible that he can only do it secretly?
The risk of this matter is too great. If I fail and am discovered by the other party, the impact on me will be too great.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Shiqun finally sighed. At the moment, confronting Cheng Mo would not benefit him at all, so he should just endure it for now.

……

Cheng Mo received a call from Tony Kaiziwei, asking him to close the case of Chen Manli. Anyway, a murderer has been brought to justice now, and although the person is dead, the case has been solved.

Cheng Mo disagreed with closing the case immediately, but at the same time he also knew that this was the extent of the case in the concession.

I think the concession needs to put some pressure on No. 76.

We can't always compromise and keep things quiet. Last time, in the case of She Aizhen, the police officer was clearly not at fault, but he still had to pay compensation in the end.

And now there is such an opportunity to retaliate with justification.

Cheng Mo made it clear that the police station must handle this case according to procedures, so as to boost the confidence of all the people in the concession in the Municipal Council.

If you keep giving in, the other party will think you are weak and can be bullied.

Those in No. 76 are not a group of people you can reason with.

In the end, Cheng Mo persuaded Tony Kaiziwei. He could understand the pressure Tony Kaiziwei was under, not only from within the Concession Municipal Council, but also from within the country.

Even if Britain's policy in the Far East is appeasement, there is no problem in sacrificing some Chinese interests, but it cannot directly conflict with Japan.

The British Empire is now strong on the outside but weak on the inside and has no ability to fight on two fronts. It has even begun to withdraw its troops in South Asia and prepare to return to defend its homeland.

Tony Kazewei is the head of intelligence in the Far East and he knows much more inside information than many people.

He felt very aggrieved. After all, he looked down on the Japanese in his heart. He would not agree to do so if it were not for the order from his country.

After Cheng Mo reported his idea to Tony Kaiziwei, he agreed. After all, he couldn't give in before making a move. That would be too embarrassing for the British Empire.

After obtaining Tony Kaiziwei's consent, Cheng Mo wrote a letter to No. 76 in the name of the Political Section of the Municipal Police Station, asking Wu Sibao to come to the police station to explain Bai Saner's situation. If he fails to come within the deadline, the Municipal Council will have reason to suspect that Wu Sibao, Bai Saner's direct superior, is the mastermind behind Chen Manli's murder, and will continue to investigate the case!
