Liu Wenyin's answer shocked Lin Jiangbei.

Within the scope of his thinking, he felt that the guest who went to Limei Barber to dye his blonde hair should at least be an American even if he was not a member of the Fourth Expeditionary Force of the United States Marine Corps, but he did not expect that the answer given by Liu Wenyin turned out to be a maintenance worker of the British Consulate General in Shanghai.

If it turns out that this Clyde Mok is really the murderer of the old drunkard, I don't know how much of a wave it will make in the intelligence community in Britain and the United States.

After a deep sigh, Lin Jiangbei asked again: "Boss Liu, in addition to Clyde Moke, are there any other guests at Limei Barber who have dyed blonde hair?" ”

"Definitely not!" Liu Wenyindu replied: "My foreign undercover agent told me that the last time Limei Barber received a hair dye business was a year ago, and the customer who dyed his hair was also this Clyde Mok. ”

Also Clyde Mok?

Lin Jiangbei nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask, "What is the price of Limei Barber's hair dye?" ”

"The price of dyed black hair is the same as our Nanjing hair salon, which is 20 fiat for men and 30 fiat for women. For blonde hair, it is 30 fiat for men and 60 fiat for women. Liu Wenyin was familiar with the project price of Limei Barbershop, and casually reported the answer.

As a maintenance worker, Clydemock should have received the lowest salary at the British Consulate-General, but he was willing to spend thirty fiat dollars a month on dyeing his hair, which was obviously not commensurate with his salary.

Either this Clyde Mok is the child of a rich family, and the family can provide a large subsidy; Either this Clyde Mok has other sources of income.

But if he was the son of a rich family, how could he have traveled all the way to Shanghai in the Far East to work as a low-paid maintenance worker in the Consulate General?

Then the answer is obvious, this Clyde Mok has a good income from other channels, which makes him not stingy to spend money on a luxury such as hair coloring, which is still a non-essential item in this era.

"Boss Liu, thank you for your help!" Lin Jiangbei explained to Liu Wenyin: "In addition, please ask Boss Liu to keep today's matter secret and not to disclose it to anyone!" ”

"Yes, yes, I understand!" Liu Wenyin hurriedly replied.

After instructing Liu Wenyin, Lin Jiangbei asked Chen Zui to return first to wait for orders, while he himself rushed to the headquarters of the Fourth Marine Expeditionary Force of the United States Marine Corps on Haiphong Road to report the situation to Colonel Price.

After Liu Xuan was notified, he quickly called a taxi and crashed far behind Lin Jiangbei to carry out his own protection mission.

When Colonel Price got the news of Lin Jiangbei's arrival, he immediately sent guards down and took Lin Jiangbei into his office.

"Mr. Ren," Colonel Price called Lin Jiangbei's pseudonym with a look of shame, "It's a pity that the personnel I sent out did not complete the task of capturing the pair of male and female shoe-shiners. ”

"What? Did the two of them abscond? Lin Jiangbei asked

"No!" Colonel Price shook his head, "By the time my men rushed over, the two of them had already turned into two corpses. ”

"Dead? How did he die? Lin Jiangbei asked.

"Like Leonovsky, they all died of potassium cyanide poisoning. It's just that Leonovsky was poisoned by oral potassium cyanide, and the pair of shoe-shiners died of potassium cyanide poisoning. Colonel Price said.

"What about the time of death, can you be sure?" Lin Jiangbei asked.

"According to the forensic judgment of the patrol house in the public concession, it should have been last night." Colonel Price said.

"Last night?" Lin Jiangbei frowned, "In other words, the pair of shoe-shiners didn't go to the stall at the intersection of Broadway today?" ”

"Yes!" Colonel Price nodded, "My men rushed to the intersection of Broadway and Diswell Road, and did not find the men's and women's shoeshine stalls on the corner. After inquiry, it was learned that the pair of shoe-shiners did not come out of the stall today. So they quickly contacted the American inspector who patrolled the house, and with their help, they found out where the shoemakers lived. But when they arrived at the shoe-shiners' quarters, they found it too late, and there were only two bodies in the room. According to the forensic examination of the patrol room, the shoe-shiner was killed by potassium cyanide poison needles, and the time of death should have been around ten o'clock last night. ”

"It was ten o'clock last night." Lin Jiangbei frowned and said, "Colonel Price, last night, the time when your two marine companies were dispatched to the overall situation of the Public Concession to track down the murderer of the old drunkard should be half past eight, right?" ”

"Yes, I left the barracks at half past eight!" Colonel Price replied.

"At about ten o'clock, the man and woman were killed by a poisoned needle." Lin Jiangbei analyzed, "It's hard not to think that the death of this pair of male and female shoe-shiners is related to the dispatch of two marine companies under your command. ”

"Do you mean that the Japanese suspect that our side may send a marine company to rush across the Suzhou Creek to capture the pair of shoe-shiners, so they will strike first?" Colonel Price asked.

"That's how it should be!" "One of the main tasks of the male and female shoe-shiners was to act as an intermediary for Leonovsky to pass information on to Akima Yokoyama at the Japanese Consulate General. Now that Leonovsky is dead, it doesn't mean much for the shoe-shiner's existence. Yokoyama Akima was worried that Colonel Price, you would find evidence that the female shoe-shiner had come to Leonovsky's residence, so he took the lead in a preventive killing. That way, even if you do find out that the shoe-shiner has something to do with Leonovsky's death, it won't do much. ”

"yes!" Colonel Price nodded and said, "This pair of shoe-shiners died in the day management area on the north bank of Suzhou Creek, even if there are any traces of crime in the room, they will be cleaned up, I think even if Mr. Ren you go to investigate in person, it will be difficult to find any useful clues." ”

"If the Japanese want to destroy the body, there are many ways to deal with it. For example, if the pair of shoe-shiners are directly evaporated, we can't even see the corpses, how can we find clues? Lin Jiangbei lit a cigarette and patiently dissected the doubts in the middle, "But the Japanese did not take those measures, but left the bodies of the pair of shoe-shiners, and like Leonovsky, they all died of potassium cyanide poisoning." Their intentions in doing this are well worth our attention! ”

"Could it be that the Japanese want to lure you to the Japanese management area on the other side of the Suzhou Creek?" Colonel Price also figured out the taste in the middle.

"I can't rule it out!" Lin Jiangbei spat out a plume of smoke and said, "It seems that the Japanese learned yesterday that I, a 'US Navy Department criminal investigation expert', would arrive in Shanghai today, so I really hope that I can go to the north bank of Suzhou Creek!" ”

"That Japanese mole hidden in our headquarters is really too rampant!" Colonel Price's face suddenly became gloomy, "Do you dare to pass on information to the Japanese side under such circumstances, do you think we really can't catch him?" ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Lin Jiangbei, "Mr. Ren, since you rushed over, have you already found out the news of the owner of that short blonde hair?" ”
