Seeing that Zhang Tinglan paid attention to this book, Wang Yongjiang and Sun Liechen also set their eyes on it, and were immediately puzzled.

"Zhuoyan, isn't this the Bible passed down from the West? Could it be that Liu San is still a Christian?" Sun Liechen couldn't help asking in surprise.

Zhang Tinglan flipped through two pages, then stuffed them into the hands of Wang Yongjiang and Sun Liechen, and they all flipped through them too.Zhang Tinglan picked up a few other books at random, flipped through them all, and found that these books were all tattered, and some were simply incomplete. Only this Bible was clean and tidy, with no dirt on the pages.

"Mr. Minyuan, do you see any problems?"

Wang Yongjiang thought for a while, and then said: "It's a bit weird for an ordinary servant to keep a Christian classic, but I don't have any clue at the moment."

"All the books are very tattered. It can be seen that Liu San doesn't care at all, and there are no marks in the books. It can be seen that they are all for his entertainment. He just throws them aside after reading them. This is the only one that is not only the best preserved, but also in the book. There are still a lot of text marks inside, although the writing is not good, but it can be seen that Liu San is very careful."

Wang Yongjiang looked through some, and nodded: "That's right, as Zhuo Yan said, it seems that Liu San is still a devout believer. Could this be the reason why he poisoned?"

Zhang Tinglan sighed and said with a wry smile: "I have been ignoring one issue, and that is the religious aggression of the West. Among the various unequal treaties in the past, the Western powers especially emphasized the issue of free preaching. Religion is so simple. In addition, various conflicts between Christians and people emerge in endlessly. Boxers also occurred because of conflicts with foreign religions. If strong ships and guns are swords in the hands of great powers, then the church is a poisoned hidden weapon, and the potential harm is even greater. big!"

Wang Yongjiang frowned, and couldn't help but said: "Zhuoyan, do you suspect that Liu San was ordered by the church to poison him with "drugs"?" [

"I'm not sure yet, but I think this is a direction. First find out what the relationship between Liu San and the church is. I believe we will find clues."

Sun Liechen also said: "Zhuo Yan's idea is correct, except for the Japanese who want to assassinate Fu Chen. Other powers may also be suspected, so we must investigate carefully."

Zhang Tinglan immediately called Su Liangzhen, who was in charge of criminal investigation, Feng Yongshuang, commander of the gendarmerie, and Chang Yinhuai, director of the investigation bureau.

Zhang Tinglan looked gloomy, and said coldly: "I am very dissatisfied with your work, and immediately investigate how Liu San entered a foreign religion. Find out the relationship between them and report to me immediately."

Zhang Tinglan seldom speaks harshly to his subordinates.But this time Dad had a safety issue.Can't help but make him feel angry, Chang Yinhuai and others hastily nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Marshal, we will work hard to get it done!"

Chang Yinhuai went on to say: "Marshal, we have drawn up a new security plan for the Marshal's Mansion. We have learned the lesson from this time and must strictly control all food in the Marshal's Mansion. Every ingredient must be registered , to ensure the safety of the source, and no one is allowed to bring in food from outside.”

Zhang Tinglan nodded: "It's easy to take precautions for a while, but the hard part is to be persistent. The big guys have to tighten their spirits and make up for the holes in advance, instead of doing some afterthoughts."

After Zhang Tinglan finished explaining, he strode away, leaving Chang Yinhuai and the others all sweating, hurry up and finish the commander's explanation, otherwise this head will be in danger!

They were all busy investigating, and Zhang Tinglan returned to Zhang Zuoxiang's ward. At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang was already asleep under Hua Futian's service.Zhang Tinglan silently exited the ward, then trotted to the inner house in a hurry.

Seeing that she had arrived at her own yard, Zhang Tinglan was still a little nervous, tried her best to calm down, and then walked in with big strides.There happened to be two doctors who had just exited in the courtyard. When they saw Zhang Tinglan, they hurriedly said, "Marshal, we just checked and everything is fine, madam. The due date is within three to five days."

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, joy flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "You two doctors have worked hard, and you have put a lot of thought into Madam's affairs."

While talking, a tall figure walked out of the room, wearing a beige skirt, elegant and gentle, showing off her exquisite curves.Upon seeing Zhang Tinglan, a shy and joyful expression appeared on his face.

"Brother Lang, you finally came back and didn't know to see Xinyao first. It's too much!"

"Sister Xianrui, do you dare to say this in front of the uncle, I don't believe he won't beat you." [

When Sun Xianrui heard it, Zhang Tinglan pressed her father, Sun Liechen, immediately puffed up her cheeks, stuck out her small tongue, and made a face for Zhang Tinglan, and Zhang Tinglan suddenly felt a flash in front of her eyes.When we first met a few years ago, Sun Xianrui was still a sickly yellow-haired girl. In the past two years, she has completely grown into a big girl, charming and shy, full of vitality, and her every frown and smile are full of attraction.

But now is not the time to appreciate beauties, let's take a look at Zhou Xinyao as soon as possible, this is the key, Zhang Tinglan stepped into the room, Sun Xianrui followed closely behind.

"Yaoyao, is our baby good or not? Did you clamor to come out to see his father?"

Zhou Xinyao, who was lying on the bed, gave Zhang Tinglan a hard look: "I know it's nonsense, and I don't even look at who is here."

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, she suddenly noticed that there was a young woman sitting beside Zhou Xinyao, who was Zhang Xueliang's wife, Yu Fengzhi.Seeing Zhang Tinglan arrived, Yu Fengzhi hurriedly got up and wished all the best.

Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "It turns out that Fengzhi is here, just so you need to remind Yaoyao a lot, even though she is also a doctor, but when it comes to me, no one's mind will be clear."

Zhou Xinyao took Yu Fengzhi's hand and said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, Fengzhi has agreed to be our child's godmother, of course he will try his best!"

"There's me too, count me in too." Sun Xianrui said indignantly.

"You, it's good if you don't add 'chaos'." Yu Fengzhi said with a smile: "How can there be such a reason for a big girl to become a godmother before she becomes a daughter-in-law?"

Sun Xianrui's face was flushed red by this sentence, and he secretly glanced at Zhang Tinglan from the corner of his eyes.At this time, Zhang Tinglan's attention was all on Zhou Xinyao.

She has a big belly, and she has long lost the charm of the past, but Zhang Tinglan still feels a little bit fascinated. This is the person who gave birth to her children and spent her life with her. No matter what time she is, she is full of love. attractive.

As if feeling Zhang Tinglan's burning gaze, Zhou Xinyao blushed slightly, and hurriedly changed the subject again: "Zhuoyan, how is dad doing now? Is the murderer found? I have been fidgeting for the past two days, and my heart is also full of anxiety." I was scared, and I didn’t dare to eat anything I saw, for fear that something might go wrong.”

"I have asked them to investigate. But there is no definite result yet."

"Brother Lang, you are so smart. My father always said that it is in your hands. There is nothing difficult, can't you find any clues?" Sun Xianrui asked full of admiration.

Zhang Tinglan laughed: "I'm not a great detective, so I don't have any ability to solve crimes, but now I have a little suspicion, it seems to be related to foreign religion."

Foreign religion!Upon hearing this, Yu Fengzhi immediately frowned, Zhang Xueliang is a person who likes new trends very much.I like new things in the West, and I often communicate with missionaries, and even went to church several times with Yu Fengzhi, so I heard this.Yu Fengzhi instinctively felt a little uneasy.

"Zhuoyan, is it true, or is it your guess?" Zhou Xinyao couldn't help asking from the side.

"It's still speculation for the time being, but I have a hunch that there must be something wrong with the church. It's just that the black lid has been lifted, and I don't know how many shady scenes will be withdrawn."

Zhou Xinyao frowned, and was still a little suspicious: "Humble words, those missionaries certainly have the problem of bullying others, but they have also done a lot of good things, established hospitals and schools, adopted the elderly and homeless children, many ordinary people are We can only survive by relying on their help. It would be too unacceptable to say that they would poison and assassinate the military and political officials of one party!"

"What's unacceptable, it's not surprising that those guys did any bad things!" Sun Xianrui suddenly said sharply as if thinking of something.

"Sister Xianrui, why did the missionary mess with you again? Tell me well, and I will help you vent your anger?" Zhang Tinglan smiled, with a trace of disapproval on his face, he thought it was some kind of dispute.

Sun Xianrui gave Zhang Tinglan a blank look, and then said, "I'm not a kid anymore, what I'm doing is serious business, Brother Lang, I did find a problem with the foreigner church."

Sun Xianrui said solemnly: "During this period of time, more and more refugees have flooded into the three northeastern provinces, and there are many homeless children. We have set up a shelter and want to adopt these children."

"This is a good thing and deserves praise!"

"Don't interrupt!" Sun Xianrui said: "We had no experience at first, so we went to a church of the YMCA to investigate how they adopted children, but I found that those children were all yellow and emaciated and in poor health. The nuns there Tell us that these are children who have just been sent in, and their bodies have not had time to recuperate, and they will increase nutrition to ensure the health of the children."

"We didn't take it seriously, but rented a yard, which was twice the size of the church, and took in all the homeless children. In about three months, a total of more than 200 beds were full. , There is no way to adopt children anymore. But the church still opened up the adoption during this period of time. After actually doing this business, we felt a little bit of doubt. Their scale is not as big as ours, but they have been adopting on a large scale for so many years Boy, don’t you think it’s strange that there is no overcrowding problem at all?”

Listening to Sun Xianrui's words, not only Zhang Tinglan, but also Yu Fengzhi and Zhou Xinyao all frowned, there was indeed something weird about it.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Sun Xianrui felt a little complacent, and then said: "After our investigation, we found many strange things, such as the church has adopted so many children for so many years, but we didn't see a single adult child Walking out of the church, and the adoption cases they announced to the public are all from within Guan, and none of them are from Fengtian, so don't we people in the three eastern provinces have no love?"

Zhang Tinglan also felt that the matter was strange, and hurriedly asked: "Xianrui, do you have any other investigation results?"

Sun Xianrui blushed: "I still want to investigate, but sister Xinyao is about to give birth, so I have to stay with her."

Zhang Tinglan stood up suddenly, walked on the ground twice, his face became more and more dignified, Zhou Xinyao knew him very well, and when he saw Zhang Tinglan like this, he immediately guessed that something was serious.

"Zhuoyan, are you worried about those children?"

"That's right, Xinyao, judging from what Xianrui said, those churches are likely to play the role of human traffickers. I have to investigate and completely lift this black cover."

Zhou Xinyao nodded slightly: "Zhuoyan, you should investigate this matter carefully, even if you pray for our baby who is about to be born, it is the most intolerable crime in this world to attack a child."

When Yu Fengzhi heard it, he also hurriedly said: "Hanqing is a very believer in Christianity, and he told me that he is going to be baptized in the future. If the church is really a place where filth is hidden, this kind of religion is something that deceives the world. What do we believe in! "

Sun Xianrui grabbed Yu Fengzhi and said with a smile, "That's right, let's work together to uncover all the shady scenes."

Two days later, Chang Yinhuai and the others hurriedly found Zhang Tinglan again, Chang Yinhuai showed a hint of joy on his face, and gave Zhang Tinglan a thumbs up as soon as they met.

"Marshal, you are really good at predicting things. We have already investigated. Liu San was adopted by Lund Cathedral 12 years ago and stayed there for more than four years. After he came out, he did some odd jobs and then arrived at the He became a servant in the Marshal's Mansion, and later transferred to our mansion."

Feng Yongshuang also said: "Liu San's situation is very simple. He has no motive to assassinate the old man at all. If there is a problem, it can only be caused by the church."

"Have you investigated Lund Cathedral?"

"Investigated." Su Liangzhen also said: "This church was first built in 1893. It was originally established jointly by a Russian missionary and a French missionary. Later, it joined the YMCA. After years of development, it has become It is the largest church in Fengtian and has absorbed many believers."

"Russian?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Tinglan had an idea in his heart, perhaps his intuition was correct.

"This Lund Cathedral is indeed interesting. I plan to go and see it myself tomorrow."

"Marshal, I'm afraid this is a bit dangerous, you better not take the risk."

"No." Zhang Tinglan waved her hand firmly: "The church has always been a place of right and wrong, and it is also protected by privileges. I don't want to go in person. I still don't worry. In short, you can arrange more people."

Another day passed in a blink of an eye, Zhang Tinglan changed into crisp casual clothes, and Sun Xianrui was already waiting in front of the door.

"Brother Lang, you are more handsome than a military uniform!"
