Chapter 243: Speculation, Racecourse
Two thugs, a man and a woman, were extremely vicious and went on a killing spree in the Lido Ballroom, killing and injuring nearly 100 people.
The man has a dark complexion and a scar on his left forehead; The female thug may be a man in disguise, and it is not excluded that it is a woman, with a black mole next to the cheekbone on her right cheek......
Well, the characteristics are more obvious, and the patrol room is using this as a clue to search for the murderer.
The Japanese gendarmerie did not come out, to be precise, did not appear in public to exert pressure.
After all, everyone knows what Hongji Charity Hall does. The Japanese are still hiding when they are, making puppets to block in front.
Therefore, although the Japanese gritted their teeth with hatred and died so many lackeys, the opium business would definitely be affected, but it was not easy to make a public appearance.
And this time it was really a massacre, with a record number of dead and wounded.
As for the damage caused by the bombing and burning of No. 76, it may be more than this time, but since it has not been made public, most people do not know about it.
"The hospitals in the French Concession and Huxi are full, and there are still people who are seriously injured and dying." Cao Yixin looked at Shen Chen's face, seemed to be smiling, reached out to touch his forehead, and teased: "There is a scar on the left forehead, it's so obvious, why can't I see it?" ”
Shen Chen tilted his head to dodge for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's good to have a scar, the goal is clear, and you don't have to arrest people indiscriminately." ”
Cao Yixin understood the meaning of Shen Chen's words, even if it was misleading, it was necessary.
There are eyewitnesses, there are media reports, and there is indeed less trouble for those who do not meet the characteristics.
And the detective in the patrol room also has clues, and he also has an explanation to the Japanese, and he can't catch any scars and moles!
Sneaking weapons and ammunition in the Lido Ballroom in advance, Cao Yixin also participated, so she naturally knew that Shen Chen did it, but what about the other person? Or a woman.
"Who's that woman?" Cao Yixin approached Shen Chen, held his arm, looked very close, and said, "You don't need to tell me her name, you just want to know her relationship with you." ”
Shen Chen smiled and said, "Paid to hire it, what do you say is the relationship?" After the cooperation, they broke up, and I didn't even know her real name. ”
"Liar." Cao Yixin pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I won't ask." However, I guess you taught her and have done a lot of actions together. Otherwise, the cooperation can't be so tacit. ”
Shen Chen was noncommittal, and looked at him left and right, "What new information is there recently, when I first returned to Shanghai, I saw that you were very anxious and anxious." ”
Cao Yixin shook her head lightly and said, "At that time, it was pressed tightly from above, and if you sent the information you gave, you will deal with it." ”
Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders, the alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan is a foregone conclusion, the information is accurate, and Cao Yixin should be rewarded.
He is not uncommon with any bonuses, Cao Yixin can be more relaxed, and he is also happy.
"Because the information is accurate, I was given a bonus from above." Cao Yixin spread out Shen Chen's hand and measured it with her own small hand, "You are not short of money, just let me save it here!" ”
Shen Chen didn't care, twisted Cao Yixin's little hand, and said, "I'm going to go out in a few days, and when I go to Hong Kong, it's a vacation!" ”
Cao Yixin was stunned for a moment, and asked with concern, "Have you been going for a long time?" After doing such a big thing, it's good to go out and avoid the limelight. ”
"Maybe ten days and half a month." Shen Chen groaned and said: "It's not to avoid the limelight, my hands and feet are clean, suspicion is inevitable, but they have no evidence." I have to do something when I go out this time, so I guess I have arranged the way back in advance! ”
Cao Yixin nodded in understanding and said, "I have an urgent retreat route to Zhejiang and Anhui. I'll tell you later, just in case. ”
Shen Chen nodded and said, "Then thank you very much." ”
"Thank you!" Cao Yixin tilted her head and rubbed Shen Chen's shoulder, and said, "Accompany me to the club tonight, and then come back to rest." ”
"Okay, listen to you." Shen Chen took out the hand he was holding, hugged Cao Yixin's shoulder, pressed against the woman's face, and kissed it again.
…………..
The stands were packed, and nothing seemed to stop the enthusiasm for watching the races.
The audience squeezed forward, pushing each other in the midst of the noise, all trying to see better. Although this does not really help which horse wins.
Chu Jiao was a little bored, but her father and uncle were sitting next to her, and she had to sit patiently.
Cousin Xie Yuefan came over, handed Chu Jiao a bottle of soda, and said with a smile: "Look, I will definitely win in a while, No. 8 horse, I see it very accurately." ”
Chu Jiao took a sip of soda and said with a smile: "Uncle asked you to bet on No. 6, didn't you change it secretly?" ”
Xie Yuefan hurriedly glanced at his father, and seeing that his father didn't pay attention, he hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Don't let the old man hear it." I just bet a little less, so it's safer. ”
Chu Jiao pursed her lips, looked up, and said as if talking to herself: "Where are so many people, it's like a market." ”
Xie Yuefan shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It has always been like this, there is no shortage of Chinese anywhere." You haven't been here to make a fuss. ”
"You come often, how much do you win?" Chu Jiao said: "Forget it, you don't have to tell me." Well, how's my cousin doing? ”
"She-" Xie Yuefan rolled her eyes and said, "It's okay." If you have time, you can go and see her, and I may be able to talk to you. ”
Yin Zhihong died, like a martyr; Xie Yuehua returned to Xie's house and gave birth to a little girl. When the moon was full, Chu Jiao went to see it.
"My cousin and I also quarreled." Chu Jiao shook her head helplessly, changing the soda bottle from her left hand to her right hand, and from her right hand to her left hand, "She's that, alas, it's different from what I thought anyway, and I can't hear the persuasion." ”
Xie Yuefan sighed and said in a deep voice: "Yuehua seems to be holding back her strength to do something, and the family is a little worried. So—"
Chu Jiao smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll go see her tomorrow." It's better to buy something empty-handed, right? ”
"My own relatives, I don't pay attention to that." Xie Yuefan waved his hand.
Chu Jiao's gaze turned to the side, frowning slightly, "Look, who is over there, it's a little familiar." ”
Xie Yuefan followed Chu Jiao's gaze, snorted with some disdain, and said, "People from the Han family." Have you forgotten that Miss Han is not your classmate? ”
Yes! Chu Jiao remembered, she had just been a classmate for a year. Moreover, the Han family had business dealings with the Xie and Chu families, and they had visited each other before.
"The Han family's factory has a joint venture with the Japanese." Xie Yuefan narrowed his eyes, not knowing whether it was envy or jealousy, and pursed his lips, "That classmate of yours is married to an official of the Nanjing government, hehe, it's a concubine." ”
Chu Jiao glanced at her cousin and said unhappily: "Hey, I've only been a classmate with her for one year, and I don't know her well." ”
Xie Yuefan smiled and admitted his mistake: "I said a little bit of that, but I didn't mean that." Gillian, don't you care! ”
The daughter of the Han family wore a red cheongsam, and her father supported her aging, gray-haired grandfather.
Although she was the same age as Chu Jiao, looking at her from a distance, she felt that she was no longer a young woman.
Her father saw Chu Jianxiong and Xie Liuxin, raised his hand to say hello, and received a perfunctory response from Chu and Xie.
She also saw Chu Jiao, a little embarrassed, and nodded at Chu Jiao after a while, and seemed to smile.
Chu Jiao rolled her eyes and beckoned perfunctorily as well.
"Look, the Han family is really messing with the Japanese." Xie Yuefan said quietly: "If you do something wrong, you have to be careful when you come out to watch the horse race." ”
Chu Jiao saw it, and the two Japanese and the Han family entered the box together. One had a mustache, while the other had a blue face.
And around them, there sat several bodyguards in wide-shouldered suits.
Although Chu Xiongfei and Xie Liuxin also brought bodyguards, they were symbolic and could not be compared with the nervous and vigilant bodyguards over there.
"If it weren't for this damn war, I think I'd buy a horse to race." Xie Liuxin's voice rang out, full of emotion and sighing, "The war has disturbed my mood, and I can't lift my spirits by doing anything." ”
Chu Xiongfei smiled bitterly and said, "Shanghai, I don't think it's a place to stay for a long time. Those who kill and kill will inevitably affect the pond fish. I think Ah Tian's idea can also be considered and take refuge outside. ”
Xie Liuxin nodded lightly and said, "It's okay to avoid it, and wait until the situation is clear." The Japanese are getting stronger and stronger, who knows if they will go crazy and attack the concession? ”
"By the way, Ah Tian and that American woman, call this ......" Xie Liuxin couldn't think of it for a while, and set his eyes on Chu Xiongfei.
"Dani, her name is Dani." Chu Xiongfei smiled helplessly and said, "Young people now, we can't control them!" If nothing else, I guess I'll have to go to the United States to agree on their marriage. ”
Xie Liuxin laughed and said, "This is a good thing." Let's not look at things with old eyes, and now we will not be ashamed to marry a foreign daughter-in-law. ”
Chu Xiongfei laughed twice, turned his eyes to the field, and reminded: "Look, it seems to be preparing to start." ”
Xie Liuxin's attention was immediately attracted and he looked up at the runway.
"Ah Tian is really going to marry a female foreign devil?" Xie Yuefan whispered to Chu Jiao, "Americans are very good, and living in the United States in the future is quieter than Shanghai." ”
Chu Jiao snorted and said, "You also talk to your uncle to transfer money and assets outside as soon as possible." The concession is a small land, and the Japanese want to occupy it, it is too simple. ”
Xie Yuefan nodded, and just wanted to speak, but frowned, staring at the few people walking in the aisle.
Japanese?! That's right, several bodyguards escorted a man and a woman to the Han family's box.
Chu Jiao also frowned, she had seen this Japanese, it was the ugly and scary guy in the café. As for the woman, it seems that she was also present at the time.
Dazong Cangming saw Chu Jiao and couldn't help but look at it twice.
Chu Jiao felt that this guy was very ugly, but strangely, she felt a little familiar, so she didn't look away, her eyes were full of speculation and doubt, staring at Dazong Cangming.
Dressed in a Japanese kimono, Zyko followed behind Ozong Kuraaki with small steps.
Sensing that Dazong Cangming's pace was a little sluggish, she looked up suspiciously, and saw Chu Jiao staring at Dazong Cangming.
Dazong Cangming and Chu Jiao almost looked at each other, Dazong was reluctant to leave, staring at this girl he loved; Chu Jiao was looking and thinking, wondering where else she had seen this guy.
"Dazong Jun-" Zygote's heart was full of jealousy, but he didn't break out, and lightly touched Dazong Cangming, reminding in a low voice.
Dazong Cangming's eyes blinked slowly, nodded at Chu Jiao, and walked forward.
"This Japanese guy knows you?" Xie Yuefan asked suspiciously.
Chu Jiao lowered her eyelids, thought about it, shook her head and said, "I also feel familiar, but I can't remember it." ”
A thunderous sound rang out, and the horse race began.
Spectators craned their necks forward, and some walked from their seats, boxes, to the side of the runway.
Xie Yuefan stood up, blocked the sun with his hands, and looked nervously at the galloping horses in the field.
Chu Jiao pursed her lips, took out a small telescope from her bag, held it up in front of her eyes in a hurry, and looked into the field.
In the box of the Han family, Dazong Cangming and others were also watching the horse race. It's just that their demeanor is more relaxed.
"The fifth horse bought by the contemptible people, the black horse that ran third." Han Ming sat down again, and said to Dazong Cangming with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Dazong is quite good at horse racing, and I will ask for more guidance in the future, so that the contemptible people can win a few more races." ”
Dazong Cangming waved his hand and said, "I only understand a little, but I don't dare to give others guidance." I think the dark horse is in good shape, and it seems to have stamina. ”
Han Ming nodded again and again, complimentingly, "Mr. Okura said it." In recent games, it has fallen behind first, and only made efforts to catch up in the second half. Although not every game is won, the winning rate is not bad. ”
The zygote leaned on the armrests with his elbows and looked as far as he could, but the number of horses could not be seen clearly except for the benchmark on the finish line.
The whispers of excitement rose to a high pitch, and the muffled voices that had lasted for a long time grew higher and higher.
"Great Zongjun, can you see clearly?" The zygote tilted his head slightly and asked the big sect Kuraaki next to him.
Ozong Cangming glanced at the zygote with some puzzlement, only to realize that the zygote was a little short-sighted, but he didn't wear glasses when he accompanied him.
"Ah, I can still see clearly." Dazong Cangming nodded, looked at the commentary in the field and said: "Now it is the fourth horse first, the eighth horse second, the fifth horse third, and the sixth horse fourth." It's already lap 2 and the four horses are in the first group, and the other horses are pulling away. ”
Zygote pursed her lips lightly, nodding her head from time to time, with a hint of a smile on her face, feeling comfortable and sweet in her heart.
The cheers grew louder and louder, and the audience below shouted like crazy.
Han Ming got up and looked at it again, and the horse he bought advanced again, and he thought it was good. With a casual glance, he saw Chu Jiao holding a telescope again.
Wanting to pat himself on the back, Han Ming turned to his daughter Han Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, that classmate of yours is holding a telescope, can you borrow it?" ”
Han Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, and muttered: "It's just a one-year classmate, and I don't know it very well." People are also using it, why are they embarrassed to borrow it? ”
