Chapter Ninety-Six, The Thief Screams to Catch the Thief

The next day of winter, with the sound of loud whistles and the crisp sound of bicycle bells, this isolated island of Shanghai began a busy new day, with pedestrians on the streets and various vehicles flowing endlessly.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the members of the declaration came to their newspaper office with a new face with a desire for victory in the war, but the members were greeted by a ruined newspaper office, and the members all showed shocked expressions, who did this, and the horror and anger burned in the hearts of the members.

"This is the one who lacks morality who did it, and actually burned our newspaper, how should we work!"

"In my opinion, it must be the gang of the Shanghai Youth Gang, and their second gentleman, Zhang Xiaolin, is not a lackey of the Japanese! The Japanese saw that our report on the victory in the Battle of Changsha injected new vitality into Shanghai, and instructed them to do it, and they ruffians and hooligans liked to do these three indiscriminate things the most! ”

"That Zhang Xiaolin has long since died, Huang Jinrong has long been closed, and I heard that he can't get along with the Japanese, so I don't think it was done by the Qing Gang."

"Let's not ask, let's call the president and ask him what to do!"

A young man looked at the members of the club and calmly analyzed, then walked to the shop on the side, dialed a number from the store's phone, and only listened to the gentle voice over there.

"Hey! That's who's you looking for! ”

"Hello, madam, I am a member of the newspaper, I am looking for President Li Ming, is he there?"

"Li Ming, he didn't return all night last night, isn't he at the newspaper office?"

"No, the newspaper office was set on fire last night, and today it is in ruins!"

"Ahh It's burned, so what about your president? Is he in there? Hurry up and call the police! ”

On the other end of the phone, when he heard that the newspaper office was burned, he panicked, and the young man heard an ominous premonition haunting his heart, and hurriedly comforted the woman over there.

"Madam, don't panic first, let's go to the police station to report the case, we must find out what's going on, you wait for my news at home!"

After the young man finished speaking, he hung up the phone and came to the door of the newspaper office, and the members of the club hurriedly surrounded him, looked at the young man and said.

"In the summer, what does the president say, what should we do!"

"The president is not at home, he didn't return overnight, I think we should go to the police station to report the case now, let them investigate, leave two people to guard the newspaper, and go to the newspaper office by the way to see what is found!"

Summer looked at everyone and said calmly, everyone listened to Summer's reasoning, so they left two members in the newspaper office, which was already in ruins, and then the rest of the people followed Summer to the police station.

In the summer, I took some members to the Shanghai police station, and found that the police station was unusually busy today, full of people, and in the summer, I looked at the chaotic crowd in the police station, and there was a strange discovery in the summer, these are the members of other newspapers, including Miller's Newspaper, Damei Evening News, Zhongmei Daily, Da Wan Wanbao, British Evening News, etc., and brought their own declarations to eight newspapers, and an ominous premonition lingered in Summer's heart.

So Summer came to the side of one of the newspaper members and looked at the member with a smile.

"Hello, I'm the summer of the declaration, I want to ask, you are also here to report, is the newspaper burned down, the president is missing!"

When the member of this newspaper heard Summer's words, his eyes flashed with doubt.

"How do you know, our newspaper office was indeed burned last night, and the president disappeared, so we came to the police station to report the crime!"

After listening to this, Xia understood so, but looking at the other party's suspicious and vigilant eyes, he knew that the other party had misunderstood him, so he hurriedly explained.

"Our declaration agency was also burned last night, and we contacted the president, but we couldn't get in touch, and he didn't show up, and we also came to report the case, don't get me wrong!"

The member nodded after listening, I see, and then looked at Xia Dao.

"You don't know, and you don't know who did it, not only our newspaper, but also your declaration agency, no, the people who look at this hall are all members of the newspaper, there are Damei Evening News, Big Evening News, etc., anyway, there are seven of them, plus you have eight declaration agencies, I really don't know that the one who scattered his conscience did it."

Summer seemed to confirm her suspicions, and then asked tentatively at the member.

"Then did your newspaper also report the news of China's victory in the Battle of Changsha yesterday!"

"Of course, you don't know that the victory in the Battle of Changsha shocked the whole world, I am from the British Evening News, and our president, Mr. Bowwell, received a call from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, announcing the news of China's victory, such a big news, that newspaper can not report it! You see today's police chief is already burned! ”

After listening to this, Summer nodded thoughtfully, as if to prove his inner guess, listening to the words of the member, and looking at the anxious police chief in the front hall, who was sweating profusely and didn't know what to do.

Niang Xipi, I don't know if it's the bold Wang Balamb who actually did this thing of setting fires everywhere, forget it, let's call the mayor, see what he says, the police chief thought, just call it, and dialed a phone call.

"Hey, Mayor Fu, I don't know who set fire to the eight newspapers last night, and the strange thing is that the presidents of these eight newspapers have evaporated from the world, and they can't be contacted, and now the members of the eight newspapers have surrounded my police station, mayor, you want to find a way, what to do!"

Fu Jianzhi's eyes flashed with joy after hearing this, and he said with joy in his heart, it seems that this No. 76 really acted quickly, and the matter was solved overnight, and then it was time for me to appear, this time I am going to make meritorious service again, Fu Jianzhi thought about it with a smile, and then said in silence for a moment.

"Don't meddle in this matter at your police station, you can record them one by one, tell them that the new government will administer justice for them, let them elect a representative from each newspaper office, let them come to the city government, and I will meet them in the meeting room and give them an explanation!"

When the police chief heard Fu Jianzhi say this, his heart was relaxed, he didn't let himself take care of it, he couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly said respectfully and happily.

"Okay, Mayor, then I'll settle for what you said!"

After the police chief finished speaking, he hung up the phone, for fear that Fu Jianzhi would regret it, and then looked at the police station that was chaotic and crowded, frowned, and instructed his subordinates around him not to know where to get a loudspeaker, the police chief took the loudspeaker, looked at the people in the police station and said loudly.

"All the members, be quiet, be quiet, listen to me, Mayor Fu said, our new government will uphold justice for you, and now I have recorded all the affairs of your newspaper office one by one, each of you newspaper office elects a representative, go to the Shanghai Municipal Government, Mayor Fu will personally meet you, and will give you a satisfactory explanation!"

The newspaper staff in the hall heard the words of the police chief, and felt that the police chief's words were also being followed, and since the mayor personally received him and would give a satisfactory answer, the members of the eight newspapers also accepted the request of the police chief, and they elected representatives of their own newspapers one after another, and the representatives of the newspaper agencies naturally took on the role of the summer, and in the summer, along with the representatives of the other seven newspapers, they rushed to the Shanghai Municipal Government.

When a group of eight people came to the Shanghai Municipal Government Hall, a young man in a black suit greeted him, who was Fu Jianzhi's secretary and looked at Xia Badao.

"You are the representative of the newspaper that happened last night, please come with me!"

After the young man finished speaking, he took the Summer Eight to a spacious office, and the young man looked at the Summer Eight with a friendly smile.

"The eight of you sit quietly for a while, don't make a noise, Mayor Fu will be here soon!"

After the young man finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the eight people in the summer had to sit down in the spacious conference room, and after a while, a Fu Jianzhi in a blue suit came to the conference room, and everyone got up and saluted Fu Jianzhi respectfully when they saw Fu Jianzhi walk in, and Fu Jianzhi waved his hand casually.

"Sit down, you're all here!" Fu Jianzhi paused, looked around at the eight people in the summer group, and saw that all eight of them nodded, so he sat down on the main seat of the conference room.

"The police chief has already told me what happened to your eight newspapers, and our new government also deeply regrets this matter, but our new government will not sit idly by, I have already called the gendarmerie command, and in view of the seriousness of this case, our new government has decided to have the gendarmerie personally investigate the case of your eight newspapers, I wonder if you are still satisfied with the arrangements of our new government?"

The eight people nodded after hearing this, Fu Jianzhi's arrangement was indeed speechless, after all, the gendarmerie was not those straw bales in the police station, and it was indeed very convincing for them to investigate, but in the summer, with his inner guess and keen sense of smell, he felt that the intervention of the gendarmerie was not so simple, and he always felt that there was a conspiracy enveloping the eight newspapers, but there was no way to refute it, it depended on what Fu Jianzhi said next.

"The gendarmerie will set off in a while, the whole city will be under martial law in Shanghai, to investigate the culprit who burned your newspaper, and the disappearance of your president, investigate, during this time, it is natural to close down your newspaper, because it is the scene of the crime, so it must be tightly sealed, I hope you can understand that the gendarmerie is doing this, and it is also to investigate the real culprit as soon as possible! I hope that the eight newspapers will actively cooperate and solve this case as soon as possible! ”

After listening to it, the eight people felt that what Fu Jianzhi said was reasonable, and they were helpless, only the summer eyes flashed brightly and looked at Fu Jianzhidao.

"Then Mayor Fu, we have nothing to say because of the investigation and closure of the newspaper, but we ask to reprint the newspaper elsewhere, you will not object, after all, we still have so many members to work!"

Fu Jianzhi was slightly stunned when he heard Xia say this, and the other seven people suddenly felt that Xia was reasonable, and they all looked at Fu Jianzhi expectantly, Fu Jianzhi's eyes flashed brightly, and the depths of his eyes burst out with an eerie light staring at Xia, it seems that this guy is a hard stubble, Summer is not afraid to look at Fu Jianzhi, Fu Jianzhi looked at Xia and actually looked at himself, his eyes flashed with a trace of cold light, but he still said with a warm smile.

"Hehe, you are a member of the club will really think about your newspaper, worthy of being a representative of the members, of course I will not object, but I want to remind you that before the murderer is not arrested and brought to justice, since they dare to set fire to your newspaper, it means that they want to prevent you from printing and distributing newspapers, for your safety, you had better stop production before solving the case, of course, you don't stop production if you want to, but don't blame me for not reminding me if something happens, and it takes a process to solve the case, Weigh this for yourselves! ”

After Fu Jianzhi finished speaking, the other seven people all nodded thoughtfully, only Summer's eyes flashed with a strange light and looked at Fu Jianzhi, and they were about to open their mouths to refute, but Fu Jianzhi didn't give Summer a chance, got up and said to everyone with a smile.

"I have said what I should say, I have also arranged what should be arranged, as the mayor, after all, my ability is limited, I have tried my best, I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I will not keep you, I think now the gendarmerie should have arrived at your newspaper, I hope you can actively cooperate, our government will always stand together, rest assured that I will always pay attention to the progress of the case, you will go back and wait for good news! I will not keep you. ”

After Fu Jianzhi finished speaking, he turned around and left, without giving Xia the slightest chance to speak, Xia looked at Fu Jianzhi with bright eyes flashing, and instinctively told Xia that this matter was not so simple, but Fu Jianzhi had already left, so he had no choice but to leave with the other seven people.
