Saying goodbye to Li Shuhuai, Bai Yunfei walked straight into his car, sat in the back seat, leaned his head on the back of the car, today's meeting really made him feel the pressure, took a long breath, and whispered to drive.

"Okay, big brother" is driving Bai Yunfei's assistant and driver Xu Kai, who is about the same height as Bai Yunfei, 24, 25 years old, 178 tall, big eyes, not handsome, but he is a neat person in terms of temperament.

The car drove on the road and drove slowly and leisurely through the downtown area.

"Kaizi, I didn't do anything about the assassination of Yamamoto yesterday, Tang San sacrificed."

Xu Kai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the news, this stunned almost hit a pedestrian on the side of the road, the pedestrian wanted to scold, but when he saw that the car seemed to belong to the official, he took it back again, leaving only a look of dissatisfaction.

Xu Kai looked at Bai Yunfei's expression from the rearview mirror of the car, calm and emotionless.

Xu Kai thought about it while driving, and couldn't help asking: Big brother, how did Tang San get discovered, there were no people in that alley, and the weather was hot at noon, so he shouldn't be seen.

Bai Yunfei: Maybe it's an accident, but I heard that a vendor selling knives and noodles in the south of the city saw it, went to the gendarmerie to make a report, and will interrogate him with the police station tomorrow.

The old car was not comfortable, it was neither slow nor good, Xu Kai wanted to continue to inquire all the way, after all, he didn't do it clean when he started it yesterday, but seeing Bai Yunfei didn't want to talk all the way, he didn't dare to ask. The car bumped all the way, after the downtown and drove for about half an hour, there was a wide road in front of me, both sides of the road were tall plane trees, and just now in the downtown messy and noisy ratio, here seems extraordinarily quiet, Baiyun flew a day's meeting, is closing his eyes and leaning his head on the seat, the car walked not far on the road, then turned into a courtyard of an alley, a courtyard, a two-story building inside, look at the environment, you know that it is not a place where ordinary people live.

The sound of a car was heard, and the door of the mansion opened. An old mother in her 50s came out to open the door, perhaps born in the late Qing Dynasty, and still had a strong sense of master and servant.

"Master, you're back, the food is cold, I'll give you heat," Wu's mother nodded while bowing, and her tone was a little timid.

Wu's mother really made Bai Yunfei a little embarrassed.

Bai Yunfei hurriedly said: No need, Mother Wu, how many times have you said it, you came to me, we are a family, there is no need to be so polite, I am also hungry, just eat something.

Okay, okay, I'll go now, Wu's mother replied respectfully, and walked quickly to the kitchen with small steps.

After a while, three dishes and a soup were served, scrambled eggs with shallots, salted duck, and assorted tofu, although usual, but much better than ordinary people. It was also a day of hunger, Bai Yunfei and Xu Kai gobbled up, and after a short time, they finished eating, Bai Yunfei took a sip of egg soup and asked Wu's mother: Wu's mother, why didn't you put tomatoes in this egg soup.

Wu Ma: Master, maybe you haven't noticed, now the supply of materials is tight, you can't buy anywhere in the market, some of the dishes you eat today are still supplied by **, alas, life is not good.

"That's it", Bai Yunfei was a little anxious in his heart, the officials were still like this, not to mention the people. Let's hope this will end soon. He looked out the window at the dark sky, the dark clouds completely obscured the moon, and did not give the earth any light, but the sky would eventually brighten.

Early the next morning, Bai Yunfei was the first to rush to the office, looking at the documents and messages that had not been processed yesterday. What happened in the past two days, he felt a kind of anxiety, Tang San's leak, was it really just accidentally seen by the vendor who sold knives and noodles, or was there something wrong within the organization, or did Xu Kai betray the organization?

The most tiring thing in the world may be to guess people's hearts, but in this kind of confrontation between friend and foe, it is actually a matter between life and death, and there is no room for sloppiness.

"Director, the dragon well is brewed, you drink tea", the secretary Xiao Wang interrupted Bai Yunfei's train of thought.

"Oh. Xiao Wang, what time is it" Bai Yunfei came back to his senses and took a sip of the freshly soaked Longjing.

Xiao Wang replied: Director, it's 9:40.

"Got it, prepare a car for me," set off for the police station at 10 o'clock, Bai Yunfei thought for a while, "You go with me, be responsible for the record, remember, the person who will meet in a moment is an important witness, what he said must be written down word for word, can you do it?"

"Department" Xiao Wang said with a serious face, Bai Yunfei couldn't help but smile and said, "Go and prepare", looking at this young man from the south trotting to prepare, he thought of Xiao Wang just came to the security office last year, this student-like young man took the freshly boiled water to soak in Longjing, and the tea was cooked. In one year, people can be transformed from immaturity to maturity, and people may be affected by the environment.

At half past ten, Bai Yunfei's car appeared at the door of the police station.

A young police officer greeted him, "Director Bai, wait a minute, Director Li has gone to the gendarmerie, and he will be back in a while, and I will take you to the lounge." ”

The lounge is at the end of the corridor on the second floor, there are windows in the southeast direction, the room is not big, the light is very good, there are two basins of "good luck head" on the windowsill, and there are two wooden tables merged together in the room, a police officer then served two plates of snacks, and the other police officer brought a boiling kettle and put it on the table, "Director, you use it slowly,"

Bai Yunfei nodded, grabbed a halva and put it in his mouth, the taste was not sweet but sticky, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: This Li Shuhuai is too deductible, and he will take this kind of dim sum that can't be put on the table. Bai Yunfei got up and wanted to pour a glass of water and put the sugar in his mouth down, Xiao Wang quickly stood up when he saw this, took the kettle, and poured the water into Bai Yunfei's cup.

As soon as he took a sip of water, he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor walking towards the lounge, Bai Yunfei got up and prepared to greet him, and when someone came in the door, Bai Yunfei just thought that it was Director Li who brought it, but it turned out to be Captain Jia Guijin Jia of the detective team who came in.

It may be that a police officer told Captain Jia outside, so he was not surprised to see Bai Yunfei, and he smiled with Bai Yunfei with a yellow bucktooth, "Director Bai, I have admired the name for a long time, brother, I am really fortunate to be able to work with you."

Listening to Jia Guijin's words, Bai Yunfei always felt familiar, thinking that this was not a storyteller at the entrance of the Shanghai vegetable market, the usual number of ways in martial arts novels, this Captain Jia really knows how to learn and use it.

Bai Yunfei didn't have a good impression of this Captain Jia in the first place. In addition, he usually oppressed the people and acted recklessly, so Zhengse said:

Captain Jia, you don't have to be so polite, but I heard that you and your brothers have done a lot of good things outside, bullying a lot of good people, and now is a critical period for restoring the economy and improving people's livelihood.

Captain Jia listened to the previous words, and his eyes seemed to leak out of his brutal nature at that moment, and when he heard that the Japanese did not spare him, Captain Jia immediately changed from the brutality just now to kindness. This change of face quickly startled Xiao Wang next to him, of course Bai Yunfei saw it in his eyes, thinking that if Jia Guijin could be the captain, he wanted to have something to do.

"Come, Captain Jia is smoking, I'm also a reminder, don't we have to take care of each other" After saying this, Bai Yunfei handed Jia Guijin a cigar.

Tobacco worship has always been particular in China, especially for colleagues and friends who are not too familiar with each other. Handing over a cigarette shows that you are willing to make this friend, and in addition, it is also a kind of respect. The meaning of Bai Yunfei's cigarette hand: one is that it is estimated that Captain Jia has only smoked dry cigarettes, and has never smoked cigars, and the other is that the witness will be interrogated later.

Sure enough, after Captain Jia got the cigarette, he put it on his nose and smelled it, feeling very enjoyable, and then he didn't light it, put it in his jacket pocket, and said: Thank you, Director Bai.

"It's okay, Captain Jia, it's all for you", Bai Yunfei said and pushed the cigarette case on the table.

"What's so embarrassing, you see this" Captain Jia excused himself as he put the cigarette case in his pants.

The two were politely when a police officer knocked on the door and came in, "Director Bai, someone is here, it's in the interrogation room, I'll take you there."

Bai Yunfei got up and followed the police to the interrogation room, seeing this situation, Captain Jia also hurriedly got up and followed, this staircase is still not touching his trouser pocket, for fear that the cigarette will fall out.

The interrogation room is located on the basement level, and when you enter the door, you can see: a table, a table lamp, a green lampshade with a dim light, and the humid air underground, you feel uncomfortable as soon as you enter.

"Director Bai is here, hard work, people, I just brought it back, today we are a three-class trial, isn't it." Li Shuhuai saw that Bai Yunfei and his party were coming, and immediately came over to hold Bai Yunfei's hand, and said enthusiastically.

While Bai Yunfei was coping with him, he saw the informant sitting opposite the interrogation table, perhaps the light was a little dim, and the first impression was that this person was thin, his gray clothes were obviously a lot bigger, and the left cuff of his shirt was patched.

Looking to the side again, a person that Bai Yunfei didn't want to see appeared.

Xu Hongping, his appearance is indeed a little unexpected. He was not the interrogator scheduled for yesterday's meeting, and the interrogation of another eyewitness, so many high-ranking Chinese officials in Nanjing, seemed to be a little too "grand."

Xu Hongping explained: I went to the gendarmerie in the morning, and I happened to meet Director Li, you are all seniors in solving cases, I came to learn from you, everyone continues, I don't bother, after speaking, I took a sip of tea, nodded at Li Shuhuai, and signaled that you can start, don't worry about him.

The interrogation room was not big, Bai Yunfei and Li Shuhuai sat in front of the main interrogation table, and Xu Hongping and Jia Guijin did not have a table, so they casually moved two stools and sat in the back.

"Director Bai, I will preside over the trial today, I have something missing to help me add, you can see ......." Li Shuhuai said to Bai Yunfei in a consultative tone. After so many years in the officialdom, he knows that ability is not the most important, the most important thing is to have a good relationship with the superior or the celebrities around the superior superior, so that someone can help him speak at the moment of crisis. In this chaotic situation now, he, the director, may lose it one day.

"I'm okay with this, Director Li will start first," Bai Yunfei replied, Li Shuhuai was in charge of the trial at the police station, and it was indeed as it should be.

"What's your name, how old is this year" Director Li turned his head from Bai Yunfei and asked the vendor across the table in a stern voice.

"Back to the chief's words, the youngest is named Li Shun, a native of Anqiu, Shanxi, and is 26 years old this year. The peddler lowered his head, cautiously replying.

"When did you see Tang San the day before yesterday, you tell us what you saw."

"Well, just after noon that day, I saw Tang San pulling a foreign car to the north of the city, there was a person in a foreign suit sitting in the car, there was nothing in the north of the city, it was a ruined city wall and wasteland, I was curious, so I followed. When I walked to the bottom of the city wall, I saw Tang San put down the foreign car, it turned out that the person sitting in the car was dragged out, and when Tang San walked away, I went over to take a look, and the person was dead. I was scared and hurriedly ran to report to the chief. ”

"What color of clothes the deceased was wearing, and how did he die?" Li Shuhuai then asked.

"The brown coat, I didn't see how I died, I was so nervous."

Li Shun wiped the sweat from his face, maybe he didn't go through the six or seven people sitting and standing on the other side, and there was a fierce fat man who kept shouting about his interrogation, Li Shun looked very uncomfortable.

Li Shuhuai looked down at the autopsy report he got back from the gendarmerie, which stated that the deceased was wearing a brown coat and that the cause of death was suffocation by strangulation.

"What did the driver do after he left the person, such as turning over the deceased's clothes and taking his belongings."

"I don't remember this exactly, sir."

"What's the matter, it's only been two days, and I can't remember it when I'm young? What's the use of a long brain. Director Li's words were still harsh, and Captain Jia next to him looked a little dazed, and thought to himself: A witness, not a fucking prisoner, such a powerful tone, why is this, it depends on his unhappiness, isn't it over if he is tortured directly.

Bai Yunfei sat on the side and watched, understanding Li Shuhuai's mood in his heart, the murder of the Japanese executive, this hawker did not report to the police station first, but directly let the Japanese know, which caused the situation that the Japanese were forced to solve the case behind their backs, otherwise with Li Shuhuai's mouth, how could he take the lead in fighting for a buffer for himself.

"I'm too far away to see, sir"

"Li Shun, you don't have to be nervous, Director Li is also eager to solve the case, you think carefully about some details, now I ask you, and if you answer well, these two oceans will be rewarded to you." Bai Yunfei suddenly spoke, and took out two pieces of steel from his jacket pocket.

Li Shun looked straight at the four people sitting in front of him and hesitated.

"Sir, no, really no, what do you want to ask."

"How many years have you been in Shanghai?"

"More than two years"

"Why did you come to Shanghai?"

Li Shun thought for a while and received: There was no one at home, so I came by myself. ”

When Captain Jia heard this, he suddenly said: This kid is interesting, he went to Shanghai to do a small business when he had no one at home, what about his family?

"Captain Jia, don't interject yet," Bai Yunfei approached Captain Jia and whispered: There is no one at home, it means that everyone has passed away, and they came here to hide from the war.

Captain Jia laughed a few times in embarrassment after hearing this, hehe, like this.

"Li Shun, I sometimes make noodles by myself at home, this noodle is always chewed without that strength, I really have to ask you for advice on this piece."

"Sir, you are polite, we use thick noodles in the market, generally three or four taels of water per catty of noodles. If you have ** noodles at home, it is estimated that three taels of water will do, and then the dough will be kneaded harder, and the rest will be nothing. After saying that, Li Shun nodded politely, not as nervous as he was at the beginning.

"Now put persimmons on the knife-cut noodles."

"Sir, now the supply of this material is tight, we generally don't let it go, if the guests are seasoned, they will pour white vinegar."

"In this case, I'll let the cook study hard when I go back." After Bai Yunfei finished speaking, he put the two oceans in the hands of Xiao Wang's secretary who was standing next to him, Xiao Wang took it and walked to the interrogation chair and gave the money to Li Shun, Li Shun did not take the money, but looked at the people in front of him, as if he was looking forward to something, and after a few seconds, he replied "Thank you, thank you, sir."

"Li Shun, let me ask you, when you saw someone dead, why didn't you go to the police station to report the case that day, but went to the gendarmerie, how did you know that it was the Japanese who died?"

Bai Yunfei's question also asked Li Shuhuai's doubts, and Li Shuhuai stared at his small eyes, waiting for an answer.

After Bai Yunfei's gentle question, Li Shun didn't seem to be as nervous as before, and whispered back: I was scared that day, so I hurriedly ran back, and was stopped by the Japanese military police on the road. ”

"Do you remember which street?" Bai Yunfei asked calmly.

"Well, this ...... I don't remember it clearly, but I remember that I was taken away by two imperial soldiers at that time, "I'm sorry sir, I really don't remember clearly."

Li Shuhuai's expression became ugly again, and it was inconvenient to have a seizure on this occasion, so he could only tell the little policeman standing next to him to pour water for him.

Captain Jia next to him really looked down on this Li Shun, this kid saw a dead man, two days have passed, and he is still so nervous, I want to know if you peed that day.

"Don't embarrass him, a small person has never seen the world, scared stupid, Li Shun, stay in the gendarmerie until this morning? Or have I been somewhere else during this time." Xu Hongping, who had not spoken, spoke.

When the words came, Bai Yunfei and Li Shuhuai were suddenly stunned, Bai Yunfei looked back, Xu Hongping didn't know when he moved the stool to the middle behind the two, and his expression was very focused, and the face behind the big round-framed glasses still couldn't see the expression.

Bai Yunfei saw from the side that Li Shuhuai was a little unhappy, the witnesses basically didn't provide any valuable clues, let me find a needle in a haystack to solve the case, what kind of round are you Xu Hongping playing there.

Li Shun returned: No, he has been locked up in the gendarmerie. I haven't been back for a few days.

Bai Yunfei ignored Xu Hongping and asked a question he wanted to figure out the most.

"The day you saw the driver kill the person in the car and then throw the body, or the person who knocked the person unconscious and sent him to the place and then killed the person."

"Sir, I was far away at the time, and I didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered, so I didn't see clearly."

"Alas, there is no valuable clue at all, just seeing Tang San running away with the corpse, when did he move, whether it was a vendetta or a robbery, there is no direction at all, how to solve the case," Li Shuhuai was a little dissatisfied, and turned back to the few people sitting there and said: If you have anything you want to ask, just ask. About a minute later no one answered.

Bai Yunfei thought for a moment and said: "Tell me about the route you followed Tang San that day, and then you can go home first, the small business can't be left unattended for a long time, if you have anything to think of, come directly to Director Li." Everybody, how about it. ”

A few people nodded, and everyone seemed to agree.

"Okay, good" Li Shun suddenly felt a sense of relief when he went home when he heard it. "On that day, I walked north from the alley of my stall, walked for more than 10 minutes, and walked to the right for a few minutes after the second intersection of the coal yard, there was a waste tile house, and there was a reservoir next to it.

After saying that, Li lowered his head and bit his lip by the way.

Although Li Shuhuai was unwilling, he really didn't have a better way, and still said in a threatening tone: If there is anything on call these days, otherwise you will look good, let's go.

As soon as he heard this, Li Shun hurriedly got up, and the policeman next to him took him to the door of the interrogation room, and not far from the door, Li Shuhuai suddenly shouted to the door: Let him leave an address, if there is a problem, he can go to him.

An echo came from outside the door: Yes, Director.

"It's really worrying, alas" Li Shuhuai sighed.

"Then I'll go back first, Xiao Wang, and go drive."

Bai Yunfei turned around like Xu Hongping and said: Director Xu, if you find anything today, I hope to give you more advice, judging from the notes you recorded, you are an expert.

"What's the matter, I've just come back from Japan, and the newcomer will catch up with a big event, and I have to give a few seniors a lot of advice," Xu Hongping smiled, completely like a newcomer who had just joined the company talking to the leader, and he couldn't see the director's frame at all.

Li Shuhuai saw that the morning's affairs were about to end, and this was an opportunity to get close to the two major intelligence departments, so he hurriedly said: "After eating, we will leave, and then we will leave, it is rare for the three of us to meet together, brother, I will be the east." ”

"No, there is still something going on over there in my security department, Director Li, another day, another day." Xu Hongping didn't mean to stay, and said: It's been tight these days, when the younger brother came to visit, I really learned a lot from you today, and I can digest it for a while when I go back."

Xu Hongping said this, which made Li Shuhuai, who was under pressure, feel very comfortable, and the two said a few more polite words.

When Bai Yunfei got into the car, he turned around and saw Xu Hongping nodding at Li Shuhuai, stretching out his hands to hold Li Shuhuai's right hand, showing extra respect. I thought to myself: This kid is young, Si Swenwen, can be elected by the military department as the director of the Shanghai secret service, and he really has a set of ways to deal with people.
