Two-four-four. homicide case
Wantian left for Zhenjiang on the day of the celebration held by the Japanese Consulate, and Wanlan had to send it off. This is Chen Ji's idea, he still wants to break Wanlan and go to the appointment by himself. Wanlan agreed, but she secretly discussed with Wantian without telling Chen Ji and asked them to change the departure time to 7 o'clock in the morning, so that Wanlan would send them back and go directly to the Japanese Consulate to intercept Chen Ji's car outside the consulate.
However, after thousands of calculations, in the end, it was one step less than Chen Ji. When Wanlan called a rickshaw and ordered her to go outside the embassy, the driver actually pulled her directly to the Yuping Cinema. A staff member of the theater came out and politely welcomed her into the manager's room, saying that at the request of Manager Chen, Wanlan could not leave a single step before he returned.
Wanlan's face sank immediately, she asked the man if he knew where Chen Ji went, and replied that he didn't know, he didn't even see Chen Ji's face, but only received a call from him from home, saying that his wife would come over in a while, telling them to watch her.
Wanlan didn't dare to explain the ins and outs to an unrelated person, she fidgeted in Chen Ji's office and called home, but Lixia said that Chen Ji left shortly after she left the house.
It's not the first time Wanlan has waited for someone, she knows the hard work of waiting for someone, but she doesn't know that it will be so hard - she will faint in the next second because she can't breathe. Her ears were filled with the sound of gunfire all morning, so she was suspicious, and asked the girl who had come to accompany her several times if she had heard the gunshots.
People from the Japanese consulate came to the Yuping Cinema in the afternoon and said that Chen Ji had a little problem when he was attending the celebration in the morning, and asked his wife to help take care of it. Wanlan's face turned bloody in an instant, her hands trembled violently, she couldn't even stand, and fell uncontrollably into the chair.
The leader of the other party was a short woman, with a round face, and a dimple on each cheek when she smiled, looking very blessed: "Don't be afraid, Mrs., Manager Chen is very good, he just wants to see his wife." ”
Wanlan sighed dejectedly, and stood up with the table: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
Martial law was in place in front of the consulate, but there was no blood on the ground. As soon as Wanlan entered the gate, she smelled the disinfectant water similar to that in the Western Hospital, and everyone looked grim and hurried.
In the reception room where he last met with Sugawa, Chen Ji was accompanied by several female secretaries, with whom he laughed and spoke Japanese, and seemed to be in good spirits.
Wanlan saw that half of his upper body was **, densely wrapped with white gauze, and there were obvious blood marks on his face. She screamed and pounced to disperse the female secretaries: "Yuji, what's going on?"
"There was a little accident," Chen Ji said gloomily, "General Zheng was assassinated." ”
Wanlan gasped cooperatively, she was very smart, she didn't ask what was going on, but asked: "Zheng ...... General Zheng is ......"
A female secretary laughed softly: "Jun Chen, don't scare your wife. She said, switching to Chinese, and making a soothing gesture to Wanlan, "It's okay, Mrs. Chen, Chen Jun is fine, but he was scratched a little by the broken glass, and those people initially thought of him as Zheng Rucheng." ”
Chen Ji nodded: "Skin trauma, don't get in the way." ”
"Is the skin trauma so heavy?" Wanlan let him pilllow on his lap, lowered his head and carefully examined the bandages on his body, tears fell one by one, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, really," Chen Ji smiled at her, reaching out to wipe her tears, "It's Consul Qichuan who made a fuss about them, I said I can go home by myself if it's okay, but she has to invite you to take care of me...... Scared, right?"
Wanlan nodded with tears in her eyes, she understood Chen Ji's words, they had been placed under house arrest by the consulate.
Those giggling female secretaries stood up with a smile: "Okay, Mrs. Chen is here, let's not get in the way here, Jun Chen, please comfort Mrs. Chen." ”
They stepped out in small steps, and closed the door for them.
Chen Ji said: "Has Ah Tian returned to Zhenjiang?"
Wanlan nodded again, but Chen Ji pointed to her mouth.
She had no choice but to speak: "I've already returned, I'm afraid they won't stay in Zhenjiang for a long time, I heard that Mr. Ambassador has already handed over the work in Beijing." ”
Chen Ji comforted her: "Don't be sad, I'll take you to the UK to visit them." ”
Wanlan nodded: "How could you be injured like this?"
"It's an innocent disaster," Chen Ji sighed, "Someone wanted to assassinate General Zheng Rucheng, but they took me for him, so they shot at my car, but fortunately I dodged quickly and saved my life, but a few bullets broke the window glass and I was scratched."
"What about General Zheng?" Wanlan said, "Was he saved by you?"
"Save?" Chen Ji sighed, "I'm still too late to take care of myself, how can I have a chance to save him...... He's dead. ”
Wanlan carefully pulled up the thin blanket covering him, gently covered him, and asked again, "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts. Chen Ji stared at her and smiled slightly: "But if you are willing to kiss me, it may be better." ”
He just said that he was joking with Wanlan, but the latter really leaned down and gently sucked his lips, and left in a moment, Chen Ji let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It's great that you can come." I was scared when the accident happened in the morning, afraid that I would die. ”
He said and smiled again: "It's funny, I'm not afraid that you will have no one to take care of me if I die, but I'm afraid that you and I will be separated...... Then I'm a ghost, what should I do in the future? ”
"Nonsense, how could you die?" Wanlan said, "Even if you die, you won't be a ghost...... Ah, I'm just now realizing that having no children does have the benefits of not having children. ”
"Then I'm glad I didn't die. Chen Ji smiled, "I still want to have a child." ”
Wanlan was immediately stuck, and she couldn't even tell if Chen Ji's words were from her heart or deliberately said to outsiders - if Qi Chuanshun put them under house arrest to investigate Zheng Rucheng's death, then what was the use of him doing these shows?
"I've thought about it," Chen Ji said, "and there is another son, both male and female, with a single name and a thank you," he wrote her surname in Wanlan's palm, "Thank you for marrying me." ”
Wanlan suddenly burst into tears, she covered her mouth and nose, turned her face away, and didn't speak for a long time.
At this time, Sukawa Shun slammed open the door of the reception room and came in with a smile, followed by two women in kimonos holding trays. Wanlan hurriedly wiped away all the tears on her face, and greeted Qichuan Xun: "Consul Qichuan." ”
The smile on Qi Chuan's face retracted for a moment, and she bowed to Wanlan very respectfully, as if she had never heard the conversation between Chen Ji and Wanlan Fangcai, and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, madam, it's our fault, we failed to protect Chen Jun." ”
"He brought it on himself. Wanlan seemed to be suddenly angry, "He himself wants to climb the power and attach. ”
"Okay, okay," Chen Ji said, "It was fine just now." ”
Qi Chuan Xun sighed: "I'm sorry, madam, it's all our fault, please give us a chance to make up for it, during the period of Chen Jun's recuperation, all the medical supplements, please pay for it at the consulate, if you are willing to stay in the consulate to recuperate, then I will arrange the best accommodation for you, if you feel that it is inconvenient here and want to go back to your home, we will also send a famous Japanese doctor to take care of you." ”
As she spoke, she asked the kimono maids to put the small table in front of Chen Ji and his wife: "But in any case, please don't be angry, I have specially prepared a crude meal for the two of you, please don't give it up." ”
Wanlan had no appetite for eating, so she only served Chen Ji and drank a bowl of soup and ate two more side dishes.
He exchanged glances with Wanlan, and Qi Chuan's attitude had already shown that their suspicions had been cleared.
When Qi Chuan said goodbye, Wan Lan followed her out and said worriedly: "The food is too light, Consul Qi Chuan, my lord wants to recuperate from his injuries and eat some nourishing things." ”
"I'm sorry, madam, I haven't taken care of the patient...... That...... If you don't like it, please make a list for me, and I will ask someone to buy it for you and send it to your house every day. ”
"Send it to the mansion?" Wanlan retreated, "Didn't you say that Yuji could stay in the consulate to recuperate?" she had a frightened look on her face, and said with a relative, "What if those who assassinated General Zheng came to assassinate Yuji again in order to keep their mouths shut?"
She behaved like a woman with long hair and short knowledge, and was greedy for life and afraid of death, even Qi Chuan Shun sighed and comforted her angrily: "No, madam, their target is General Zheng, besides, we will definitely cooperate with the Shanghai police to find out these executioners as soon as possible, please rest assured." ”
"I want you to send troops to escort us home. Wanlan softened her tone and pleaded, "Consul Qichuan, I'm really scared ......."
"Madame, I understand your feelings. Sukawa Shun was anxious to get rid of her, "I'll send doctors, nurses and guards now, get that car in the house, and we'll replace it with a new one for you, and ask for your forgiveness again." ”
They returned to Chen's house in the afternoon of the same day, and the Japanese soldiers who escorted them did not leave, but stood guard outside the courtyard, and Wanlan looked at it from the curtain behind the bedroom window, and said, "Qi Chuan Xun has not fully believed us. ”
But I have believed most of it. Chen Ji said, "Also, Wang Xiaofeng is dead." ”
Wanlan was stunned for a moment before she realized who Wang Xiaofeng was, the guard who was left in the mansion by Chen Qimei, and had helped Wantian when she had an accident.
She shuddered suddenly, didn't care about mourning like him, and asked urgently, "Will they find out that Wang Xiaofeng has been in our house?"
"No," Chen Ji said, "they are very careful, they mix in the crowd every day when they go in and out with me, and they are far away when they are watching...... Chen Qimei didn't intend to implicate us. ”
