68. Chapter 68

I can't sleep at night, I will wake up at dawn, Lin Hongwen's dark blue is getting heavier and heavier, I finally slept for a while this day, and I heard someone knocking on the door again. Lin Hongwen thought it was He Mu, so he hastily put on two clothes and ran to open the door, but who knew that it was He Yao standing outside the door.

He Yao was slightly surprised when he saw his disheveled appearance, but he was not ashamed, but joked to him, "It's three poles in the day, why did you just get up?" ”

Lin Hongwen didn't answer her, but asked, "How do you know I live here?" ”

He Yao smiled and said, "If you want to know where you live, how difficult it can be, just ask." ”

"Nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace", Lin Hongwen glanced at her, "You can't come to pay New Year's greetings to me, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

He Yao smiled slyly and said, "My father wants to invite you to dinner, I don't know if you are willing to appreciate your face?" ”

"Your father?" Lin Hongwen looked at her puzzled and asked, "I have never had much friendship with him, why did he invite me to dinner?" ”

"I mentioned you to him", He Yao said, "I told him that you are very good at managing several shops by yourself." It just so happened that he also wanted to open a few more stores after the New Year, but he was short of people, so he wanted to invite you to a meal and see what you meant. ”

"It's not good, I can't go behind my boss's back to see your father," Lin Hongwen said, "They are very good to me, it's too unkind to do this." ”

"Kind?" He Yao snorted disdainfully, "They are kind to you, they won't let you be busy like that every day, and they will only give you so little wages." Besides, you came out to do things for the sake of kindness? ”

Lin Hongwen glanced at her and asked, "So for what?" ”

"In order to make money to support yourself and make your life better", He Yao said as a matter of course, "Otherwise? ”

Lin Hongwen lowered his head and smiled, "You're right. ”

"That's it," He Yao said, "Then tomorrow at six o'clock in the evening, Xiangyun Pavilion, will you come?" ”

"Yes", Lin Hongwen responded, "When people go to high places, I also have to plan for myself." ”

"That's right", He Yao said happily, "Then I'll go back first, if you don't wake up, go back to sleep, it's rare for you to rest during the New Year." ”

Lin Hongwen sent her away, and when she returned to the house, she began to think. He Gui invited him to dinner at this time neither early nor late, it was impossible to do what He Yao said, but there was a shortage of people, and Bacheng had something else in mind. It's better to go on your own, to know what he wants to do early, and to take precautions early.

Not long after sending He Yao away, He Mu came in a hurry, and when he entered the door, he dragged Lin Hongwen to the back room and said, "There is movement in Feng Ping's house." ”

Lin Hongwen raised his eyebrows, "The police are going again?" ”

"No, but someone sent money and goods to their family," He Mu said, "We thought it was strange, so we followed this man, and finally found that he had entered Yao Shunchang's house." ”

"You mean that Yao Shunchang sent someone to take care of Feng Ping's family?" Lin Hongwen asked puzzledly, "Why did he do this, He Gui sent someone to show the police the way to arrest the person who 'destroyed the ocean', but he sent someone to send money and goods to Feng Ping's family?" Didn't he do this against He Gui? ”

"Is there a contradiction between them?" He Mu said.

Lin Hongwen shook his head, "Yao Shunchang has always relied on He Gui, even if he is dissatisfied with He Gui, he will not fall out with him." Not good! ”

"What's wrong?"

"Yao Shunchang sent someone to talk to him," Lin Hongwen said, "and He Gui asked him to do it." How do you think, how do they know so well where those people live in the 'Heaven and Ocean'? ”

"Do you want to say that someone inside the 'Heaven Destroys the Ocean' has taken refuge in He Gui?" He Mu asked.

"I guess so, but that person is definitely not Feng Ping, otherwise I would have been arrested a long time ago", Lin Hongwen thought for a while and said, "The person who took refuge in He Gui knows that someone has been secretly funding them, but he doesn't know who this person is." However, he knew that Feng Ping was the only one who could contact this person. He sued He Gui, and He Gui asked Yao Shunchang to talk to him, and Yao Shunchang sent someone to send money and things while using Feng Ping's words. ”

"But Feng Ping's family doesn't necessarily know your identity," He Mu said, "and it's useful for him to do this?" ”

"If Feng Ping thinks about his family, then he will not sue his family if he contacts me about this matter. But whether he will talk about it, no one can say. Lin Hongwen pondered for a while and said, "No, it's not that it's not impossible, his family must know some details." ”

"How can you be so sure?"

"Before you came, He Yao came to look for me," Lin Hongwen said, "He said that He Gui would invite me to dinner at Xiangyun Pavilion at six o'clock tomorrow night." For no reason, he wouldn't think of me, a poor boy, at this time, unless he knew something, and wanted to know more. ”

"Then he clearly wants to kill us", He Mu said, "Once it is related to the 'Heaven and the Ocean', not to mention that the business bank can't be saved, even his life can't be saved." ”

"So we have to find a way to get us out of here," Mr. Lin said.

"How do you take it out? If this matter comes out, there must be a personal responsibility", He Mu said nervously.

"Don't talk, let me think about it", Lin Hongwen bit his lip and thought hard about all the things about Feng Ping. Every time Feng Ping comes, it's at night, so no one should see it. Every time he came, he couldn't say a few words, most of them took the money and left, and he only revealed that he had a son, a son......

Lin Hongwen stood up suddenly, He Mu was startled, but remembered that Lin Hongwen had just finished telling him not to speak, so he didn't dare to say anything. Lin Hongwen walked around the house, and he suddenly remembered that he didn't just give money to Feng Ping, and on the night when Feng Ping revealed that he had a son, he gave Feng Ping a box of Japanese snacks. The box of sweets was sent by Yamada to the trading house, and the boxes that decorated the sweets were pieces of lacquerware!

Lin Hongwen stopped and looked at He Mu with wide eyes, "I know who to find to be the substitute for the dead ghost." ”

"Who?" He Mu asked.

"But not yet," Lin Hongwen babbled, "I still need to think again, think again." ”

Lin Hongwen remembered a lot of things at once, he wanted to make everything clear from beginning to end, but he always remembered another one halfway. He closed his eyes and began to smooth through the lacquerware food box. The food box was given by Yamada, it looked beautiful, Feng Ping took it home, even if the dim sum was finished, he should be reluctant to throw it away. Yamada had fled last year because he was said to be connected to the two Japanese spies who had been shot, and his trading house was the stronghold of the spies. And Ru Ting said that one of He Gui's subordinates once took Yamada and other Japanese businessmen to visit brothels, and more than once. The man was in his mid-thirties, plain-looking, but could speak Japanese. If there is an accident today, Feng Ping has an accident, and Feng Ping's family may still have the food box sent by Yamada, Yao Shunchang sent someone to send money and goods at this time, and he is a distant relative of He Gui, and the two have been very close over the years......

Lin Hongwen took a deep breath, opened his eyes and looked at He Mu again, "Since it's either them who die, it's us, then don't look for anyone else for this scapegoat." ”

"You mean to blame Yao Shunchang for this?" He Mu pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible, after all, his subordinates are now very attentive to the Feng Ping family, saying that he is the one who finances the destruction of the heavens and the ocean, and someone must believe it." ”

"It's not just Yao Shunchang", Lin Hongwen said ruthlessly, "This time, we have to drag He Gui into the water, otherwise we won't have a good life either." ”

"But from the face of it, this matter has nothing to do with He Gui", He Mu said, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I once gave Feng Ping a wooden food box, which was sent by Yamada. The box is so beautiful that I think he would be reluctant to throw it away even after eating it. And you and I both know that among the people who do business in the entire Fu family store, He Gui's relationship with the Japanese is the closest, and before Yamada escaped, he had a close relationship with Yamada. Lin Hongwen said, "If you were one of those Russian policemen and found a Japanese food box in Feng Ping's house, what would you think?" ”

"It should have been given to him by someone else, he wouldn't buy it, and he couldn't afford it," He Mu said.

"Yes, people like Feng Ping would never take the initiative to buy these things, so who gave them to him? This person should be the one who secretly financed the destruction of the heavens and the ocean. Lin Hongwen analyzed, "This person not only secretly funded them, but also took care of their families after their accidents." ”

"You mean!" He Mu suddenly understood Lin Hongwen's plan, "But this is just pulling Yao Shunchang into the water, and He Gui will not be affected in any way." ”

"It's not difficult to find out that person is Yao Shunchang's subordinate, but don't forget, in the past few years, He Gui has asked Yao Shunchang to befriend the police commissioner, who will joke about his future." Lin Hongwen said firmly, "If he didn't know the details of Yao Shunchang, he wouldn't have been with him for so many years." It is precisely because he knows the details of Yao Shunchang that he knows the relationship between He Gui and Yao Shunchang, and he also knows that Yao Shunchang has never had anything to do with the Japanese. So this food box appeared there, and the police chief would not only suspect that Yao Shunchang had been dealing with the Japanese behind his back, but even He Gui"

"But what if the food box isn't there?" He Mu said, "If they had thrown it away or given it to someone else, we wouldn't have been able to get out." ”

"That's why I said it's not right now," Lin Hongwen said, "We can't bet all our lives on a food box that may or may not be, we have to do something." ”

Lin Hongwen stepped in front of the cabinet in a few steps, opened the drawer and turned out a picture album, which was when he suspected that Vincent had betrayed them, and asked He Mu to find someone to count them. Lin Hongwen opened the booklet, he remembered that He Mu said at that time that the fabrics in the front coincided with He Kee and Hezhong Commercial Firm, and the latter ones were unique to He Kee Commercial Firm.

Lin Hongwen spread out the album in front of He Mu, "Do you remember this album?" ”

He Mu said, "Remember, you asked me to collect and sort it out. ”

"Yes, I asked you to buy a few feet like someone else, right?" Lin Hongwen asked.

"That's right."

"I remember after checking, I told you to put away the ones that were unique to their family, right?"

"Yes, I did as you said, and now the cloth is still in the warehouse", He Mu said puzzled, "What are you going to do?" ”

Lin Hongwen hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "That's easy to do." ”

"It's so easy to do, you're in a hurry to kill me", He Mu couldn't stand it and said, "Can you make it clear and laugh again." ”

"He Gui asked me to have dinner tomorrow, but I don't think I'm completely sure that he wants to get something out of me, so he won't report to those policemen until the morning after tomorrow at the earliest." Lin Hongwen explained, "So, when I go to dinner tomorrow night, you will do it." ”

"How?"

"Tomorrow night, I don't care what you do, but I'm going to beat the police chief with a sack when he is alone. When he beats him, his hands are bound to try to grab something. Remember the cloth I told you about? It's too late to make clothes, so you go back in a while and find someone to pick out a few random pieces of cloth that are unique to He Ji, cut a few cloaks, and put them on when you start tomorrow. Prepare a small piece of rag in advance, and if he breaks your cloak it is better, if he does not, then throw it at his feet before leaving. I remember that one of those scammers could speak Japanese. Take him in, and after beating him, let him say in Japanese, 'Stop fighting, he'll cause trouble for Boss He if he dies.' After Lin Hongwen finished speaking, he stared at He Mudao deadly, "You remember, if tomorrow's things are not done, we will only have a dead end." ”

"I know," He Mu said, "I'll go back and arrange it now, I won't let you have an accident." ”

"Tomorrow night, you must come to tell me whether the matter has turned out or not, no matter how late it is, I will wait for you," Lin Hongwen said.

"I understand, no matter how late it is, I will definitely come", He Mu finished speaking, and got up and went back. Lin Hongwen sat on the chair, his thoughts in a mess. In fact, even if He Mu really succeeds, this plan is not without flaws. Once He Gui was arrested, he would immediately react that he had been put on a beating. And his collusion with the Japanese is so secretive, the only thing that may be a little bit of a hindrance may be that Ru Ting has seen his Japanese-speaking subordinate. In this way, it is hard to guarantee that he will not think that Ru Ting betrayed him.

Lin Hongwen felt a splitting headache, he found a cigarette and lit it, and inhaled it in a big gulp, but he couldn't calm down.
