January 2, 1938, Shanghai, French Concession

Peng San's body was found early in the morning, and at the beginning, the Foch Road Patrol House just sent a patrol policeman, ready to determine the case at will, and the murderer could be found if he could, and if he couldn't find it, he would put it away, and treat it as an unsolved case according to the old rules.

Anyway, now in Shanghai, how many people didn't die that day? Green gang fights, assassinations by Japanese secret services, and vendettas by the Hui Party are staged almost every day.

But after discovering that the deceased was Peng San, almost all the patrol houses on Foch Road were dispatched for no other reason, just because Peng San was one of the Chinese detectives in the Xiaodongmen Arrest House.

"Peng San'er, why did you say you died on my ground?" Li Changyu, the Chinese inspector on Foch Road, looked at Peng San's body and muttered quietly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Changyu turned his head to look at the first patrol officer who came to the scene and asked, "Do you have any clues?" ”

The patrolman opened the notebook in his hand and said, "The deceased was shot in the head, and a bullet casing was found at the scene." ”

As he spoke, the patrolman handed the loaded bullet casings to Li Changyu, and then said: "There were no traces of violent fighting at the scene, Inspector Peng's gun fell one and a half meters away from the corpse, and Inspector Peng had bruises on ......his head."

Li Changyu listened to the patrol officer's report and looked at the bullet casing in his hand.

"7.65 bullets." He muttered under his breath.

Immediately afterwards, Li Changyu squatted down and looked at the muzzle of the gun above Peng San's head, and continued to mumble in a low voice: "One shot, two horses, three flowers, four dogs and five snakes open their mouths and stare, and the gun is ......."

Then, Li Changyu reached out and twisted Peng San's face to face him.

"A bruise on the forehead should be an impact, but if it is an impact caused by an external force, the bruise will not be so small." Li Changyuxin said.

Immediately after Li Changyu put down Peng San's head, got up and came to Peng San's front, he took out a gun and pointed it at the wound on the top of Peng San's head and said, "You say, under what circumstances can Inspector Peng be hit on the top of the head with a shot?" ”

"Uh... Lying on your stomach? The patrol officer said.

"Do you have bruises on your forehead when you're lying on your stomach?" Li Changyu glanced at him and said.

When the patrol officer heard this, he was obviously stunned, and after pondering for a while, the patrol officer asked, "Boss, what do you mean... Is there a correlation between the forehead wound and the location of the bullet? ”

"Come, get down on your knees." Li Changyu said.

The patrolman looked up at the boss in confusion and was a little puzzled.

"Hurry up and kneel, I don't want to take advantage of your kid." Li Changyu said again.

The patrolman knelt down reluctantly this time.

Li Changyu walked up to the kneeling patrolman and said, "Kowtow." ”

"What?"

"I told you to kowtow." Li Changyu emphasized again.

The patrol officer frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, if I don't do anything well, you can just tell me directly, so ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Changyu: "Please go to the best restaurant in a while, hurry up, this is to handle the case." ”

The patrolman finally kowtowed, and before he could raise his head after kowtowing, he suddenly felt a chill on the top of his head, and he could feel the muzzle of the gun on top of his head.

"Uh... Head... Chief. The patrolman stammered.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Li Changyu laugh "haha" and said loudly: "Look, is this a connection?" ”

Feeling the muzzle of the gun above his head moved, the patrol officer hurriedly stood up, he looked at Peng San's corpse, and finally understood, "What the boss means is that Inspector Peng was kowtowing and begging for mercy before he was alive, but when he was begging for mercy, he was shot right above the head!" ”

Li Changyu nodded, and said with some doubts: "But...... Why did Peng San use this way to beg for mercy? Once you kneel down and kowtow, you basically give your weakness to the murderer without reservation, can it be said that you have made a big mistake, and it is useless to beg for mercy in words......"

"Words... That's right! When Li Changyu said this, he hurriedly leaned down and stretched out his hand to touch Peng San's throat.

"The laryngeal bone has been hit hard, so since the murderer and Peng San must have had a fight, why didn't there be any traces of a violent fight at the scene?" Li Changyu muttered.

The patrol officer on the side gave the answer: "I can't beat it, I was subdued by the murderer in an instant!" ”

Li Changyu stood up when he heard the sound of "swish".

"I know who the killer is." He said calmly.

"Huh? Who is it? The patrolman asked in surprise.

Li Changyu smiled faintly and said: "It's very good to use guns and cards, it's excellent to stretch out your hands, and it's so hidden to kill people, plus the business that Peng San loved to do before his death, who do you think it would be?" ”

"Guns... Military Commander! The patrolman replied.

Li Changyu nodded and said, "You are not stupid enough to go home, immediately send someone to inquire about the news, and see where Peng San has been in the past three days!" Who did you come into contact with? ”

"Yes!" The patrol officer was ordered.

......

Chongqing, Hongyan Village, Southern Bureau.

Standing on a small hillside in Hongyan Village, Director Zhou looked at the scenery of the mountain, turned back to the people behind him and said, "Now the situation in Europe is getting worse and worse, and the world is about to fall apart." ”

The man behind him nodded approvingly when he heard the words and said, "I'm afraid I don't know how many people will die, but Lao Jiang wants to use European and American powers to mediate, but it probably won't work!" ”

After nodding approvingly, Director Zhou looked at the northern land with a worried face.

At this time, a guard walked up the hill quickly, came to the front of Director Zhou, and reported: "Shanghai emergency power." ”

When Director Zhou heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the telegram, looked at it carefully, and after a while, Director Zhou happily said to the people behind him: "Comrade Luo Xian has been rescued!" ”

"Huh? Who has that great ability! Our strength in Shanghai is not strong. The man hurriedly asked.

"It was saved by a very capable young man." Director Zhou said.

When the man heard this, he hurriedly said, "With such a young talent, we should give a reward." ”

Hearing this, Director Zhou waved his hand and said, "You don't have to reward others!" He's not one of ours yet! ”

"Then hurry up and develop! Since he saved Comrade Luo Xian, he must be close to the organization! The man said.

Director Zhou laughed when he heard this, and said happily: "I think so too, it is better to ask Comrade Yifu to go out and go to Shanghai to include this young man in the organization!" ”

"So you're waiting for me here!" Zhang Yifu scratched his head sullenly, pointed at Director Zhou and said.

Director Zhou smiled and walked up to Zhang Yifu and handed him the telegram in his hand.

Then Director Zhou spoke: "Take a closer look, according to the statement of the comrade in Shanghai, he should have the idea to join us, but he is still one step away, in my opinion, it is most appropriate for you to kick this door!" ”

Zhang Yifu smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said helplessly: "You have shown me all this telegram, can I still not go?" ”

"Hahaha." Uphill, there was Director Zhou's hearty laughter.
