Chapter 1144: Speculation in hindsight

Just when Wei Hongde walked to his door for the rest of his life, Wu Shicai was guarding the box of the Wanguo Casino, anxiously waiting for news from Lai Huaiwu.

300,000 US dollars is a huge amount, after Lai Huaiwu gets the ransom, he must be handed over to Wu Shicai as soon as possible, but now that the time for the transaction has long passed, why hasn't Lai Huaiwu come to return to him yet?

Lai Huaiwu has been his cronies for many years, otherwise he would not have handed over such an important matter to Lai Huaiwu to deal with, naturally he is extremely trusting, the important thing is to know each other, just for the sake of his family, Lai Huaiwu did not dare to do anything.

Could it be that something went wrong in the transaction? The Wei family didn't make up the money?

300,000 US dollars is indeed a bit more, but with Wei Hongde's family business, Wu Shicai believes that this money can still be taken out.

Or is it that the Wei family is unwilling to suffer this big loss and arrests Lai Huaiwu? Yes, the Wei family has enough connections and energy in the concession, and it is not impossible if they really give it a go.

Thinking of this, Wu Shicai felt that since things had changed, he couldn't wait so stupidly, so he immediately called a group of subordinates, quickly dispatched, and personally went to the compound to check out.

Because the kidnapping of Wei Hongde is a trivial matter, in order to keep it secret, Wu Shicai was only handed over to Lai Huaiwu to deal with alone, and the other cronies did not know.

And Lai Huaiwu didn't look for more helpers in order to keep it secret, but just selected his most trusted subordinates to participate, so the hiding place of the Miscellaneous Courtyard, except for these participants, only Wu Shicai knew about it, and he had to check it himself.

Wu Shicai, like Li Zhiqun, in order to guard against the assassination and attack of Shanghai Station, there were enough personnel to escort the entrances and exits.

It's so quiet, it's not normal!

"Let's go inside!"

A team of people rushed in, and the lights began to light up in the courtyard, and the subordinates quickly discovered the situation and hurriedly reported to Wu Shicai: "Captain, there is no one inside, and there are still a lot of blood stains on the ground." ”

Something really happened! Wu Shicai had no luck in his heart, so he personally entered the miscellaneous courtyard and began to inspect the scene.

I saw that in the room in the courtyard, almost all the doors and windows were destroyed, and the broken wooden boards and broken glass were scattered all over the ground, and it was a mess.

Wei Hongde was gone, and the people in charge of guarding him were also gone, looking at the blood stains flowing on the ground, needless to say, these people had been killed.

It's just that the person who started the action was clean, and even the body had been moved, and I didn't know what the specific situation was.

Wu Shicai's subordinates are all disciples of the Qing Gang, and it is okay to use [Bayi Chinese www.81zw.xyz] knives and guns, but in the investigation of the scene, they can't do anything to investigate the murderer, and they are not even as good as those people in the police station, and they have not found any clues in the face of the scene in front of them.

Wu Shicai himself is the same, in the end, he is not a really strictly trained agent, plus the other party's hands and feet are clean, leaving no traces, and after checking it, except for the tatters in one place, there is nothing to be found.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Wu Shicai's temples bulged, his head swelled, and he had a terrible headache.

He is not afraid that Wei Hongde will come back to retaliate, in the final analysis, he is a ruffian and hooligan, and he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, even if Wei Hongde knows that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, he doesn't believe that Wei Hongde can really be open-minded, and is willing to touch him with porcelain, and fight him to the end, and he will not admit it to death.

But the $300,000 has not arrived, how can I fill that huge hole? Once the director returns, how will he pay the account?

"Let's go, go to Lanjia Bridge!"

Wu Shicai rushed to Lanjiaqiao with people again, but there was no one here, Wu Shicai knew that Lai Huaiwu would never come alone to collect money, and he must have brought helpers with him, but now the situation is the same as that of the miscellaneous courtyard, there are no people to go without a trace!

Do you want to be so ruthless? Since the other party rescued Wei Hongde, it is great not to pay the ransom, but even the people who collected the ransom have been solved, these people's hearts and methods are really ruthless and decisive, obviously to completely eliminate the people who kidnapped Wei Hongde, leaving no future troubles.

Wu Shicai couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart, it seemed that he had really made a mistake in choosing Wei Hongde as the target this time.

At this time, it was already the early morning of the second half of the night, the night was dark, the search conditions were very poor, and his subordinates searched for a long time, but they didn't find anything, Wu Shicai had to order the team to be closed, and go back to have a headache How to end the matter.

In the Wei Mansion in the French Concession, Wei Hongde sent away the Wei family who had recovered from the joy, leaving the eldest son Wei Xilin alone, and carefully inquired about the specific situation, he wanted to find out who was the divine who saved his old life.

But with Wei Xilin's narration, Wei Hongde was confused, and asked in a strange tone: "You found Lao Gu, just begging him to raise dollars and let him pay the ransom for you?" Didn't they get them to save me? ”

"No, really not, I'm afraid of endangering your safety, it's all done according to the kidnappers' wishes." Wei Xilin shook his head and said.

He was also very puzzled, according to his father's description, it was not the kidnappers who took the initiative to release him at all, but an unknown force rescued him by force, but he really didn't do anything!

Wei Hongde believed Wei Xilin's words, he knew that his son was not strong, and if something like this happened, he would be used to using money to solve the problem.

"It's really strange, who could have mobilized so many people to save me, killed those kidnappers, and saved my life for nothing?"

Wei Xilin thought for a moment, guessed and said: "I think it must be Gu Xuan, except for their Northern Jiangsu Gang, we haven't asked anyone else to help, according to my estimate, Gu Xuan is interested in the 300,000 US dollars, and he is reluctant to hand it over to the kidnappers, so he will just rescue you directly." ”

Wei Xilin's mind turned very fast, and he guessed the truth of the matter at once, but there was only a slight error.

"I have been friends with Lao Gu for many years, he is not that kind of person!" Wei Hongde shook his head and said.

Wei Xilin continued: "Gu Xuan may not, but his disciple Ji Hongyi may not. ”

"Ji Hongyi, the owner of the liquor company?" Wei Hongde asked.

Ji Hongyi is also a powerful businessman in the business world, and Wei Hongde is no stranger to him.

"That's right," Wei Xilin nodded, and then he focused on the conversation with Gu Xuan's master and apprentice at that time, "I deliberately went to investigate Ji Hongyi, this person is by no means simple, and it can even be said to be unfathomable, although he is only a small boss, his status in the Northern Jiangsu Gang is second only to Gu Xuan, and even his real strength is still surpassed."

Especially the business is very large, there are many companies under his name, and the strange thing is that he is a gang leader who runs a legitimate business, and he has no casinos and tobacco houses.

And the companies under his name are not the kind of shell companies that sell dog meat on the head of sheep, they are all serious industrial companies, Donghuang Department Store alone has hundreds of employees, and the strength is not trivial, just say that this time to raise dollars, he took out 150,000 US dollars at a time, to be honest, it scared me at the time. ”

Wei Hongde was also a little surprised when he heard Wei Xilin say this, he pondered for a moment, and said: "You are right, it seems that this Ji Hongyi is by no means as simple as an ordinary leader of the Green Gang, this person takes it all in black and white, his power and financial resources are so strong, it is not difficult to save me."

At present, it seems that there is no doubt that this person should be this person, you are ready to give a generous gift, and go with me tomorrow to meet Gu Xuan and this Mr. Ji, do you know? This time, the kidnappers didn't talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes at all, so they didn't think about letting me back, as soon as they got the ransom, they would tear up the ticket and even give me the decapitated meal, alas, I was really discouraged at that time, if these people hadn't killed the door, now I'm just afraid that I have been buried in a mass grave, and this time I owe a lot of favors. Wei Hongde shook his head and sighed, thinking about it, he was afraid!

"Yes, in fact, I have prepared a gift, just waiting for you to come back, come and thank you, just ......"

Wei Xilin hesitated, he was also a shrewd person, and there were many things that could not be said clearly, so he then asked, "What do we say when we meet?" ”

What Wei Xilin means is that if he makes it clear and thanks Ji Hongyi for the rescue by force, what if the other party thinks that it was the Wei family's father and son who came to ask for the unspent $300,000? When the time comes, will it not be a plain offense?

Now Ji Hongyi is in the minds of their father and son, but he is a ruthless character who cannot be offended, and Wei Xilin is quite in awe in his heart.

Wei Hongde said angrily: "It is impossible for people to shoot in vain, it is naturally impossible to repay the 300,000 US dollars, and my old life is not even worth these money?" ”

"That's what I mean!"

Wei Xilin was born in a wealthy family, and he has never worried about money since he was a child, and the concept of money is used to use and solve problems, and of course he will not be short-sighted.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Wu Shicai, who was still anxious, received a call from Luo Xingchao, asking him to go back to the headquarters of Agent No. 76 as soon as possible.

These days, Wu Shicai is like an ant on a hot pot in order to raise funds, so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, and he didn't go to work at the secret service headquarters at all.

As soon as he walked out of the casino gate, a cronie hurriedly greeted him and reported in a low voice: "Captain, after dawn, we searched near Lanjiaqiao, and at the exit of a lane, we found a bloodstain, Captain Lai, they may have ......."

"Okay, don't publicize this matter, I'll deal with it later!" Wu Shicai waved his hand and ordered, he had long known that this was the result, and he was completely dead at this time, but now he can't take care of these little things, Luo Xingchao's tone on the phone was a little unkind, after all, he is the director who is in charge of the work, and he still has to deal with it carefully.

Hurried back to the secret service headquarters, came to Luo Xingchao's office, knocked on the door.

"Director Luo!"

At this time, Luo Xingchao was processing the documents, and when he saw Wu Shicai coming in, he also stood up, motioned for Wu Shicai to sit on the sofa, and said: "Brother Shicai, you and I have not communicated much during this time, is there a misunderstanding about me?" ”

Luo Xingchao's words shocked Wu Shicai's heart, it seems that this Director Luo is quite dissatisfied with his own long-term not showing up at the headquarters, and he himself is also a little weak-hearted, you must know that although Luo Xingchao is usually a group of harmony, but if he really cares about himself, just the background of the Japanese behind him, he can't bear it, he quickly shook his head and said: "Director Luo, you and I have worked together for so long, I, Wu Shicai, have always respected Director Luo, where is there any misunderstanding, there is no such thing, there is no such thing!" ”

"Okay, that's good!" Luo Xingchao smiled slightly, and showed a kind smile again, "Since the director went to Nanjing, Brother Shicai has been estranged from me a lot, the director said, you and I are both literate and martial, and we are his right-hand men, and we brothers still have to be more close, don't be separated." ”

Hearing Luo Xingchao say this, Wu Shicai was relieved, and quickly nodded and smiled: "Yes, I'm just a big old man, I can dance knives and guns, and I can't get on the big stage. ”

Luo Xingchao pretended to make a gesture, but he just knocked Wu Shicai slightly, and when he saw Wu Shicai's softness, he snorted, and then asked directly: "Brother Shicai is polite, you and I will work together to manage this family for the director, by the way, Sheng Zhiyuan's case, I don't know how Brother Shicai's investigation is?" Are there any clues about the Shanghai station? ”

When Wu Shicai heard Luo Xingchao ask about this, he couldn't help but panic, where did he investigate what Shanghai station! However, Sheng Zhiyuan's family property was checked by him, and now it is still smashed in his hands, and no one takes it over.

Seeing Wu Shicai's embarrassed expression, Luo Xingchao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I also know that the military command Shanghai Station is hiding in the concession, and it is very difficult to investigate, and it will be difficult to have an effect for a while. ”

"Yes, yes, the investigation is really difficult, and I haven't made any progress here." Wu Shicai hurriedly followed Luo Xingchao's words and said busily.

"Okay, you sort out the work during this time, and then..."

Luo Xingchao raised his hand to look at the time, and said again: "Half an hour, let's set off and go to the train station together to welcome the director back to Shanghai!" ”

"What?"

Wu Shicai was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the sofa!
