Chapter 100: The scene is out of control
Li Fengzhu, who was too focused, was suddenly frightened by this deep sigh and jumped up, and his face turned around, and it turned red.
Uncle Ji sat in the shadow of the door to hide from the sun, gently holding the cigarette between his two fingers, flicking the cigarette ash out of the threshold, and snorted coldly in his mouth a few times before continuing: "I know that you scholars understand a lot of truths, and your mind is finer than ordinary people, but why look down on people like this?"
Li Fengzhu smiled bitterly and put his hands in front of him and kept shaking them: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just in a hurry, I'm really anxious...... Yesterday, an interviewer sold me a big message, but he said that it was too long and could only be sent to me. ”
Uncle Ji let out a "hmm" and took a puff of cigarette with a long tail note. Then, he spat out a smoke ring on the ceiling and continued to question her: "This time I misunderstood you, so you can tell you that you are in a hurry." But you haven't picked up the mailbox once or twice, why did you do it the first few times?"
Li Fengzhu was speechless, and he was so squeezed by him that he couldn't raise his head. Just as he was about to turn back, there was a non-stop car bell ringing from far and near on the corner of the street. With a click, a large parcel was thrown at her feet.
The mailing business of newspapers is really many and complicated, and this is especially true of letters from readers. Therefore, the post office has always kept a bunch of bundles of things sent to the newspaper office.
This time it's probably time to wait!
So, Li Fengzhu retracted his steps again, shifted all his attention to the mail bag, and pulled and bit at the knotted rope, not caring about anything else at all.
Uncle Ji still taught her coldly inside the door: "Don't bully me for being illiterate, I've been in the newspaper for all these years, and I haven't learned much." In terms of age, the three daughters in my family are the same age as you, and in terms of seniority, I have come here longer than you. I am both an elder and a senior to you, and I am not half a cut shorter than you. ”
Li Fengzhu turned a deaf ear, opened the parcel and rummaged anxiously among the large and small letters that fell all over the ground.
After a while, I found a letter with the words "Ms. Li Fengzhu personally opened". Nine times out of ten, it was sent by the kidnappers, and she was naturally in a hurry to disassemble it in a secluded corner, dismantling it word by word, and pondering it carefully.
However, Uncle Ji has been chattering for a long time, and there are still things scattered all over the place, and he is going to run away at this time, and he doesn't know how much Uncle Ji will suffer.
Li Fengzhu was not 100% at ease with his colleagues in the club, and he heard in an izakaya last night that Wang Fuchun had intervened in the selection of the deputy editor-in-chief. She has even more reason to suspect that in addition to Wang Fuchun, there is at least one insider of the Oriental Consulate in the society. In all likelihood, whoever becomes the deputy editor-in-chief in the future will be a traitor.
Thinking like this, Li Fengzhu had no choice but to suppress his emotions and play calm outside. Simply stacked the letters all over the ground into a pile and sent them to Uncle Ji. Only then did he dare to walk back to his seat, held up a small makeup mirror, borrowed the reason for dressing, and looked back and forth for a week before taking the letter.
The first sentence at the beginning was that the kidnapper recognized his identity, Li Fengzhu felt his blood pressure rise suddenly, his head seemed to be filled with boiling water, and he was sweating out.
I barely finished reading the letter, and there was no mention of Xiao Rufu as a hostage. Just ordered Li Fengzhu to go to the trading houses that sell Japanese goods in the area from Xu Street to Haiguang Temple, especially emphasizing several house numbers, the common feature is that although these commercial houses sell Japanese goods, the bosses are all businessmen.
The phone rang in the silent office, and Li Fengzhu immediately took it.
"When you get to the place, you don't have to do anything, you just watch, listen, and write down what really happened. On the day I saw the newspaper, I would let you and Ling Lang say a few more words as soon as possible. ”
The kidnapper quickly explained the request, and hung up the phone without waiting for Li Fengzhu to respond. She stuffed her mouth full of words, but she didn't have a word to say.
At this time, it is natural to get up and act quickly.
Unexpectedly, I met Xu Xinqi at the door, and sent her a task from afar: "There is a patriotic speech in the auditorium of the Industrial and Commercial School in the afternoon, leave it to you." ”
After this mention, Li Fengzhu remembered that before Ji Bingzhi left, he had a lot of doubts about Jia Qianzhong's position and identity, and his school was Jinmen Industrial and Commercial College.
At that time, Li Fengzhu also promised that he would find an opportunity to confirm the facts. But at this moment and then, she just reluctantly went now, and she didn't have the mind, let alone the ability to screen any situation.
Therefore, he stood up with a face of embarrassment: "How can this be good......" The kidnapping of his son naturally can't tell the truth. But lying to a good person out of thin air also embarrassed Li Fengzhu. She looked left and right for a while, stared at an eye-catching headline posted on the wall, and then had an idea, "I just answered a phone call and said it was...... said that the child in the family graduated this year and was preparing to find a job, and then she ...... "She was under great pressure and didn't sleep all night, so she couldn't say a few words before she gasped." He simply raised his hand and pointed to the wall.
When Xu Xinqi took a closer look, he wrote "Exposing unscrupulous recommendation companies". Because he nodded and said: "Hmm--I have often heard of this situation recently! The company claims to have connections in its hands, and as long as it pays enough tuition and referral fees, it can arrange high-paying positions in banks, schools, newspapers, and trading companies. In the first two years, I just used this method to cheat money, but these few months are good, I always hear that as soon as the tuition fee is paid, I will go to closed training, and then people will never come back!"
Li Fengzhu took advantage of his attention elsewhere, patted his chest and smoothed out, before he said, "That's right." This is actually human trafficking, and I think it is necessary to investigate. ”
Xu Xinqi didn't doubt it, and promised: "That's okay, I'll find someone else for the speech of the Industrial and Commercial School." By the way, you have to pay attention to safety! Real people are much more ruthless than in the movie, they naturally prefer big money, but small money is also unwilling to let go. If you can't kidnap a student, you will kidnap a woman, and if you can't kidnap a woman, you will kidnap a man. Don't think that if you're past your prime age, you'll be in no danger when you go out. ”
Li Fengzhu was in a hurry to get out, so everything went according to his meaning and said, "Thank you for your concern, I will pay attention." I'm just going to meet the families of the victims, and I'll talk to you when I have more clues. ”
Such a consultative atmosphere made Xu Xinqi feel relaxed. He had a false premonition in his heart that the whole day's work would go smoothly.
###
At ten o'clock in the morning, the large and small shops on Xu Street got off the boards and started to do business.
According to the kidnappers' requirements, Li Fengzhu walked around one by one, especially paying attention to the Japanese goods stores opened by those people.
At first, there was nothing out of the ordinary, but after more than an hour of shopping, a group of people came over shouting slogans. Li Fengzhu heard it clearly, and the slogans included "save the country and love the country, use domestic products first", "defeat strong enemies, self-improvement with domestic products", "revitalize China, and jointly relieve national difficulties".
Since the 23rd year of the Republic of China, the campaign to revitalize domestic products has been launched, with the theme of the Women's National Products Fair in the first year, and then the students and citizens as the propaganda targets every year, and this year it is the National Products Fair for Public Servants. There is nothing unusual about a scene like this that has lasted for several years.
Li Fengzhu was thinking, could the kidnappers just let her see this? What is the picture, is it just for her to post a patriotic anti-Japanese commentary article? That is not guilty of kidnapping.
Time passed by second, but Xu Street was calm as usual. Li Fengzhu couldn't help but drum in his heart, and the facial features on his face were wrinkled together. I was already anxious, and I had to wander around the streets, and under the sun, I felt that I was on fire, and it was difficult to support it.
The more his eyes narrowed, the more he slitted, and he could barely get into the sun.
At the end of the street, there are planks raised high and low. Li Fengzhu thought at first that it was the concession patrol to arrest the patriots, but he stood up tremblingly, put his hand on his eyebrows, and carefully recognized it before he saw that it was not like that. It was the shops that opened their doors to do business, fearing that the emotions of the crowd would be lost, so they closed their doors one after another.
The closer the army approached, the more panicked the surrounding shops became.
When the Concession Patrol heard the news, a row of cars stopped on the side of the road, and hundreds of Oriental soldiers got out of the body. The sheriff commanded, and the GIs went from house to house to stand in front of the door, trying to block in the middle.
Li Fengzhu followed passers-by in a low-key manner, trying to walk on the side of the street as much as possible. Because the kidnappers had given a list of house numbers before, she noticed a detail that the Oriental soldiers did not protect all the merchants, they were responsible for protecting the property of the expatriate.
When Li Fengzhu saw it, he snorted coldly in his heart.
When the real pedestrians on the road saw the patrol coming, they naturally did not dare to continue to stay, and turned the corner early, away from the wrong place.
At this time, no matter how low-key Li Fengzhu is, as long as he doesn't leave, he will be easily caught and interrogated by patrols. So, she peeked at the door numbers, crept into one of the firms mentioned by the kidnappers, and without saying a word, held her head in the corner and shrank her head, secretly waiting to see how things would develop next.
It didn't take long for the marching slogans to be loud and close at hand. Subsequently, a group of people broke into the store, went straight past the counter, grabbed the collar of the person on the counter, and howled and questioned: "You open your eyes and look at the newspaper of the Oriental people, the whole people of the little Oriental are united in their hearts, donating money and materials to make up money to buy a plane." As he spoke, he raised the newspaper in his hand, "Do you know what they are going to do when they buy a plane?"
The others came in silently at first, picked up a long coat hook in the store, and swept the cloth hanging on the wall, and the hula fell all over the ground. Li Fengzhu looked at everything in front of him in shock, feeling bad. He picked up the silk that had fallen at his feet and secretly hid his body inside.
There was a cry from the man's ear: "Spare my life, I ...... I'm a person who begs for a living, how can I understand Oriental dialect? ”
