The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 542 Debts are canceled after death
"My name is Fu Yewen, nice to meet you, Mr. Cheng."

"Oh, what is Mr. Fu's position in No. 76?" Cheng Mo exclaimed in surprise that Lin Shiqun actually sent his brother-in-law to greet him.

This is quite a big honor.

He thought he could just send a secretary, but he didn't expect it to be such an important figure.

"I'm just a small figure, not worth mentioning. Mr. Cheng, please." Fu Yewen laughed and didn't seem to care about his status and position in No. 76.

Cheng Mo also smiled. He knew that Fu Yewen was the director of the confidential department at No. 76 and was Lin Shiqun's most trusted confidant. Since he didn't mention it, he didn't dare to ask.

After crossing an open space, we came to a two-story building.

"Mr. Cheng, Deputy Director Lin is waiting for you in the reception room." Fu Yewen waved his hand and made a "please" gesture.

It’s not like Cheng Mo had never been to No. 76 before. In his previous life, he had come here specifically to visit, but the layout at that time was somewhat different from what he saw now.

After all, who would remember what this place known as the "devil's cave" looked like decades later? There is not much information left.

"Mr. Cheng, you are a rare guest for No. 76!" Lin Shiqun personally came down from the office to greet Cheng Mo.

"Minister Lin, please forgive me for coming here uninvited. I'm sorry to bother you." Cheng Mo laughed, and his smile seemed much more sincere than the other party's.

"please."

"Mr. Xiao Cheng likes American coffee, please try our coffee No. 76!" Lin Shiqun waved his hand, and a charming female secretary in a hip-hugging miniskirt walked in and brought a cup of warm coffee.

"Minister Lin, I've heard that Miss Shen is very good at making coffee. I must try it." Cheng Mo laughed, picked up the coffee and took a sip. "Not bad, really good."

The two were clearly talking about coffee, but there was something else going on.

One said, I have done a very detailed understanding of you, I know your living habits very clearly, and I even know that you like to drink American coffee.

Another one also said that Miss Shen next to you is extraordinary, she is yours, right?

Although the relationship between Lin Shiqun and Secretary Shen was not a secret in No. 76, Cheng Mo, an outsider, actually knew about it, and Lin Shiqun was indeed surprised.

At that moment, he even suspected that Cheng Mo had planted an insider from the police station in No. 76, and that this insider had access to core secrets.

But he changed his mind and rejected the idea again. He knew that Cheng Mo had a special status among the Japanese.

He is also one of the few people who know this secret. Knowing some secrets of No. 76 is not a big deal.

Could he possibly hide these secrets from the Japanese?
If he had not shown some greed and lust, would the Japanese and the people above him be willing to let him hold such great power?

A man who is not lustful and not greedy for money will only have a good reputation and power. His reputation has long been ruined and his good reputation does not exist at all, so what is left is power.

No one likes to have an ambitious subordinate, especially one who is more capable than himself and can replace him at any time.

"Mr. Cheng, why are you visiting No. 76 today?"

"I heard that Captain Wu was unfortunately killed. Captain Wu and I are not friends. We had some grudges before. Plus, I had a case on hand and wanted to talk to him about it, but things didn't go as we wished!" Cheng Mo said bluntly.

The words "I'm here to laugh at you" were just a few steps away from being written on his forehead.

But can Lin Shiqun get angry and drive people away?

Obviously not. He did not show any emotion of "schadenfreude", and there was even a hint of "regret" in his tone.

"Mr. Cheng is really fast in getting news. Yunfu (Wu Sibao's pen name) was murdered. Everyone in No. 76 is extremely sad and angry. Shiqun and Yunfu were as close as brothers. I must seek justice for him!" Lin Shiqun said with his fists clenched and his eyes red.

"Minister Lin, I'm so sorry," Cheng Mo said. "Is it convenient for me to see Captain Wu's remains?"

"Of course, Mr. Cheng, please!" Lin Shiqun seemed to have expected that Cheng Mo would ask to see the remains of the deceased, and he agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you." In Auditorium 76.

Cheng Mo saw Wu Sibao's body, which was his own masterpiece. He had seen it once last night, and now seeing it again, his mood was as calm as water.

"Captain Wu, although you and I have had a lot of grudges in the past, when people die, all debts are settled. The grudges between you and me will be wiped out from now on!" In front of Lin Shiqun, Cheng Mo said to Wu Sibao, and then bent down and bowed.

Just pretend, you have to look like you are expressing condolences.

"Minister Lin, how is Mrs. Wu feeling?" Cheng Mo asked.

Seeing Cheng Mo say in public that his grudge with Wu Sibao was written off, Lin Shiqun actually felt a sense of relief.

Deep down, he didn't want to become an enemy of Cheng Mo.

"This man is gone suddenly, and as a wife, it's natural that I can't accept it. I'll arrange for someone to accompany him. Do you want to see him, Mr. Cheng?"

"I disappeared. I don't have much relationship with Mrs. Wu." Cheng Mo laughed. Why would he see She Aizhen? She was just a gangster boss.

"Now that Captain Wu is gone, my case is considered closed. Anyway, the murderer has been found, and I can report to my superiors and subordinates." Cheng Mo said this to Lin Shiqun. The case of the assassination of Paramount dancer Chen Manli was considered closed with Bai Saner, and there would be no further investigation.

"Okay, Mr. Cheng, I'll accept this favor." Lin Shiqun nodded. He naturally heard that Cheng Mo was actively extending an "olive branch".

In the past, Wu Sibao was standing in the way, and people were still angry. Now that he is gone, the anger has subsided.

There is no deep hatred between them.

There is no personal grudge, but there is national hatred. People who are traitors will never be redeemed, and Cheng Mo did it on purpose.

"I'm leaving first. I won't attend Captain Wu's funeral. It's not very convenient." Cheng Mo said.

"Okay." Lin Shiqun still let Fu Yewen send Cheng Mo off, which could be considered a complete success.

……

"Mr. Cheng, Chen Manli's case?"

"The person is dead, what's the point of investigating? Just close the case." Cheng Mo ordered.

"But how can we give justice to Chen Manli's family?" Qin Chi asked puzzledly, "Just close the case in such an unclear way?"

"Does Wu Sibao have a motive to kill Chen Manli?"

Qin Chi shook his head.

"If the person Bai San'er wanted to kill was Peng Nian, and he mistook Zhu Tianming for Peng Nian, and he fired two shots in succession, the first shot missed, but the second shot hit Chen Manli, then even if Wu Sibao and Peng Nian had some grudges, it was not to the point of killing, so why not make a bold guess?"

"Mr. Cheng always said Lin..." Qin Chi subconsciously covered his mouth.

"You are quite smart. Lin Shiqun wanted to kill Peng Nian, but he couldn't do it himself, and Wu Sibao was doing the dirty work for him. Bai Saner was exposed, so someone had to take the blame. Peng Nian and Ding Mocun found out about this. In order to protect himself, Lin had to let Wu Sibao take the blame. After all, it was a dancer who died. Even if Ding Mocun and Peng Nian made trouble, Wu Sibao would at most be dismissed or transferred, and his life would not be in danger. Now that Wu Sibao is dead, it's all over." Cheng Mo said, "You have to figure out this case. Now this is the only way to close it."

"Then how do we tell Chen Manli's family about this?"

"Simple. Let the Paramount Ballroom come forward to explain that this was a case of manslaughter. The killer intended to kill Zhu Tianming, but ended up killing Chen Manli by mistake."

"Didn't Bai Saner go to kill Peng Nian?"

"Don't involve No. 76 when this case is finally closed, understand?" Cheng Mo warned.

"Mr. Cheng, are you also afraid of No. 76?" Qin Chi looked at Cheng Mo and asked.

Cheng Mo didn't explain.
