Chapter 59: The Corpse
The patrol room came to the main hall of the Tigers in a hurry, surrounded their hall entrance, and prepared to catch turtles in an urn.
Half an hour later, the Tigers were taken back to the patrol room, but there was no Boss Lu.
Bailey slammed his hat on the table, his eyes spitting fire as he watched his patrolmen.
"The biggest fish has run away, who can tell me what's going on?"
Everyone was silent, but they all knew in their hearts that someone had leaked the news.
Shanghai was originally a mixed place, and the forces of all parties were disconnected, and there must have been people in the patrol room who reported the news. It's just that Boss Lu, who ran this time, is a very important criminal, and the concession authorities are about to use him to calm the anger of the citizens, but now he has run away.
Bailey didn't know how to explain it to the chief.
Boss Lu knew that something was wrong the moment the thin monkey was brought into the patrol room. Through the news of the insiders, you will know that the East Window incident has happened.
"Young Master Li, the thing I did for you caused such a big trouble, my hall was ended, and now the world is arresting me, I am desperate now, please reward me with 10,000 oceans and let me leave Shanghai to make a living, otherwise" Boss Lu whispered to Li Mingdong in a remote restaurant, wearing a big-brimmed hat.
When Li Mingdong heard him say this, he was furious in his heart. It was originally a futile incident for him, and now he dares to blackmail himself.
"Then Boss Lu means that I will give you 10,000 oceans of hush money, and you will leave Shanghai?" asked Li Mingdong by tapping his finger on the table.
"Yes, as long as Young Master Li agrees to my conditions, I will disappear in Shanghai immediately. Boss Lu swore an oath.
"Okay, that's a deal. See you tonight at 8 o'clock under the big tree next to the side door of the Tigers, and I will send someone to bring you the money. ”
"Then thank you Young Master Li. Boss Lu clenched his fists, lowered his hat and left in a hurry.
A sarcastic smile rose at the corner of Li Mingdong's mouth, and his eyes became grim. He said to his entourage: "Only the dead will keep their mouths shut, tell Wang Wu, and send him on his way at night." ”
"Yes, young master. ”
Principal Zhang and others were still waiting for Bailey's reply, and at 3:00 p.m., the huge procession was watching Luka's patrol, waiting for the agreed answer.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our patrol house lived up to expectations and caught the murderer who set fire to people last night, and they are the members of the LTTE. Bailey shouted.
"The Tigers, it's them"
"The scumbags of the Tigers must have taken refuge with the Japanese"
"Kill the crumbs"
After Bailey finished speaking, the crowd was immediately excited, and it took a while for everyone to quiet down.
Principal Zhang asked, "Who instructed the LTTE to do it, and what evidence do you have for them to do it?"
When everyone heard President Zhang's question, they all felt that it made sense and echoed it.
"In response to Ms. Zhang's question, I would like to tell you that after our interrogation, the LTTE members have admitted that they did what they did last night, but their boss has absconded in fear of the crime. ”
"What, ran away"
"Why did the main culprit run away, catch some little Luo Luo to fool us"
"We are not satisfied with this answer, we want to know who instigated it"
The dissatisfaction of the crowd made Bailey sweat profusely.
"Everyone, be quiet, we will continue to work hard to catch the criminals, please don't worry, I promise that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. ”
After Bailey's three assurances, the scene quieted down.
"Officer Bailey, when will that student Zhou Min be released?" Principal Zhang asked suddenly.
"This"
"The Flemish chief has already communicated with the Japanese. Please be patient with Ms. Zhang. Bailey replied.
Flanders did communicate with the Japanese, but was half dead by the arrogant Japanese popularity, and Flanders took out the old-fashioned attitude of the empire on which the sun never sets, and warned the Japanese fiercely, telling them not to mess around in the concession.
Although Japan will be wary of the strength of Britain and France, but now Europe is also cloudy, and there may be a war at any time, so the Japanese will not be too obedient.
"Your Excellency, the arrogant Englishman of Flanders dares to treat us like this, wait for our Yamato nation to unify the whole of China, and see what qualifications he has to say about us," Oshima said angrily. Japan is a country that is both inferior and proud, as long as you are stronger than theirs, they will admire and respect you, and on the contrary, they will trample you under your feet. The Japanese have a particularly complicated relationship with China, believing that they are the orthodoxy of Chinese culture, while the current China is ruled by barbarians and is not orthodox. The ridiculous ideas of the Japanese have a big market in Japan.
"Oshima-kun, don't be angry. China will be ours sooner or later, and the humble people of China are not worthy to rule such a vast land. As for Flanders, I'll give him some trouble. Sooner or later, Britain and France will be drawn into the turbulence of Europe. Mitsui-kun, how is Zhou Yaozu's side?" Kawada Daisa asked suddenly.
"Your Excellency, you are incompetent. Zhou Yaozu did not agree to our request, he said that he would never belong to us"
Mitsui Masaei said with a look of shame.
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree, since he doesn't know what to do, we don't have to be polite. Just in time to get some trouble with Flanders. Kawada whispered something to Mitsui. And let him go.
Zhou Min calculated the time, she had been in prison for three days, she was a little anxious, although Cao Dazui had been chatting with her for the past few days, but there was always a lingering shadow in her heart.
Principal Zhang and the others also got Bailey's answer, and Zhou Min will be released early tomorrow morning. Wang Zhimin and Xiaoxue are busy with the affairs of the newspaper, although the newspaper office was burned down, but the sign of the Chinese Student Newspaper is still there, and the two of them are looking for a house and plan to reopen the newspaper.
The second elder of the Zhou family was in a very good mood when he learned that Zhou Min would be released tomorrow. Zhou's mother even went to the church to pray, and the priest was cheaper by a few hundred yuan. The night slowly eroded the land, and Shanghai was shrouded in darkness.
Less than 8 o'clock, Boss Lu lowered his hat and came to the place where he had made an appointment with Li Mingdong and waited for the agreed ocean. He had secretly decided to leave Shanghai when he got the money. It's the same everywhere you have money.
Boss Lu stood under the tree, anxiously waiting, time passed minute by minute, just when he was about to help leaving, a car came in the distance, because the lights were very bright, Boss Lu raised his right arm to cover his eyes.
The car slowly stopped in front of him, and a man in a black suit got out.
"Boss Lu, I am Wang Wu, entrusted by the young master of my family, to send you money and give you a ride. Wang Wu said in a low voice.
"Just bring the money, don't send it, I will leave overnight, please rest assured, Young Master Li, I will never tell the truth." Boss Lu promised.
The corner of Wang Wu's mouth showed a hint of sneer and said: "That's not possible, if you want to get off at every intersection, it's not safe for you to walk by yourself, so I'll send you." ”
Boss Lu thought for a while, felt that what Wang Wu said was also reasonable, and got into the car.
Wang Wu drove the car, looked at Wang Wu who was sitting in the co-pilot, and said, "Boss Lu, I will send you to the dock, there is a boat to Hong Kong at ten o'clock tonight." ”
Boss Lu hugged his fists and thanked Wang Wu.
Wang Wu saw that Boss Lu's expression was not so nervous, and handed him a cigarette to relieve his fatigue.
Boss Lu took a hard puff of his cigarette and spit out white smoke, as if he was nervous in his heart. Wang Wu raised his head and looked at the rearview mirror in the car and nodded.
Suddenly, Boss Lu felt his neck tighten, and he was out of breath in an instant. I don't know when the cigarette in my hand was thrown away, my hands were desperately clutching the rope around my neck, my feet were constantly kicking in front of me, and my mouth was whining.
Boss Lu struggled for a while, and then he lost his breath, his eyes were round, and he didn't bat at himself. His eyes were full of anger and incomprehension.
Wang Wu glanced at the dead and transparent Boss Lu and smiled. said to the person who strangled Boss Lu: "Let's go, give him another ride." ”
The two came to the dock, got Boss Lu to a cabin bedroom, and quietly left.
And the people on the boat didn't know that there was a dead man on the ship, and this person was the most wanted criminal in Shanghai.
The reason why the night is dark is because it hides something that cannot be seen.
At 10 p.m., the ship was full of passengers bound for Hong Kong, but as the ship was about to depart, a crew member ran out and shouted, "Someone's dead, someone's dead." It turned out that when the crew returned to the room just now, they found a person lying on their bed, he took a closer look, pushed the person, and found that he was no longer breathing. Frightened, the crew crawled out of the cabin.
As soon as everyone heard that there was a death, they immediately exploded. They all surrounded them. The captain took a group of crew members to the cabin to take a look, and found that Boss Lu, whose face was purple and could no longer die.
The captain said to the first mate with an ugly face: "Go and inform the patrol room and ask them to take people away." ”
Then he said to everyone: "I'm sorry everyone, except for this kind of thing on the ship now, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today." ”
As soon as the captain finished speaking, everyone shouted: "If you don't leave, how can you do it?"
"I'm in a hurry, why don't you leave"
"I have a business in Hong Kong, don't delay my business"
The scene was chaotic.
The captain was so loud that he could only keep explaining, and finally agreed to return the ticket, and everyone was appeased.
