Chapter 45: The Horse's Feet Are Found
French Concession, Foch Road Patrol House.
Li Changyu sat in his office, staring blankly at the spinning pen in his hand.
Those who know him well know that this is a sign that he is stuck in deep thought.
After arranging for his subordinates to collect the locations of Peng San's activities in the past three days, Li Changyu came to the door of Wu Haifei, a Chinese director of the Public Board of Directors.
Last night, the Chinese inspectors of the French Concession basically went to Director Wu's house to congratulate the New Year (gifts).
At Director Wu's house, Li Changyu saw Peng San, but Peng San was still at Director Wu's house when Li Changyu left.
Later, the Chinese detective Li who was traveling with him on Petain Road told him that Peng San was extremely generous today and gave Director Wu a lot of valuable things, so Director Wu enthusiastically kept him.
Li Changyu stood at the door of Director Wu's house, and walked through the route that Peng San could choose before his death, and finally Li Changyu locked a route from Director Wu's house to the most famous brothel in the French Concession.
Judging from the generous gifts Peng San gave to Director Wu, Peng San should have made a windfall recently.
And Peng San is single and has no family, and he also has the habit of being nostalgic for brothels on weekdays.
Therefore, Li Changyu judged that Peng San should be wealthy, so he thought about going to a brothel that night, and judging from the direction of the street where Peng San died, this calculation should be no problem.
Thinking of this, Li Changyu chuckled in his heart, he found a problem, Peng San is rich and rich, but what about the money? There is no money on Peng San's corpse!
A temporary uprising for money? Unlikely, the robbery used by the murderer, and the clean and neat assassination scene are all typical military commanders.
So why did the military commander take the money and leave? More importantly, how did the murderer know that Peng San had money on hand?
Peng San had money on hand, he was assassinated by the military commander, and the money was taken away by the military commander, and the only possible connection between this is......
"Smack!"
Li Changyu slammed the table and stood up, and said excitedly: "Peng San's private business!"
In fact, the detectives in the concession know all the businesses that Peng San did in private, but no one broke them.
Because almost all public officials in the French Concession will basically do something full-time but unsightly, which is basically equivalent to the rules of the French Concession, if you don't do this, everyone will feel that they are not the same as you.
So Peng San's business has become the key, and Li Changyu knows that it is very likely that this person who does business with Peng San is the military commander who killed Peng San!
As long as this person is found, the case will be solved.
"Now I'm waiting for news from Li Sen." Li Changyu muttered.
Li Sen was the patrol officer who was arranged to search for the location of Peng San's activities in the past three days in the morning.
Wah Shing Street, Élysée Cafe.
After Li Sen received Li Changyu's instructions in the morning, he arranged for patrol officers to inquire about Peng San's recent news, but after all, the French Concession is the largest concession in Shanghai, and it is really difficult to inquire about a person's entire whereabouts in three days.
So Li Sen thought of an organization - the "Green Gang".
The power of the Green Gang in the French Concession can be said to be huge, and when it comes to the "Green Gang" in the French Concession, we have to mention one person, he is the famous Shanghai Tang "Green Gang" boss - Huang Jinrong!
However, Li Sen knew that with his status, he couldn't invite a big guy like Huang Jinrong to help, so he found the little leader of the Green Gang at the entrance of Foch Road, Wu Fang.
His father Wu Yunzhong was also a business tycoon in Shanghai in his early years, but later for some unknown reasons, the business failed, the capital chain was broken, and the company went bankrupt.
Wu Fang, the eldest young master of the Wu family, joined the Qing Gang in order to avoid people from all walks of life.
Soon, because of his ruthless personality and slightly upper-class demeanor and means, he emerged under Huang Jinrong's men, and was arranged by Huang Jinrong at the entrance of Foch Road to be a small leader.
There are many high-ranking officials and nobles on Foch Road, and ordinary people really can't do it, but Wu Fang is a person with some vision and insight, and he soon gained a firm foothold in the more difficult to mix Foch Road Tangkou.
When Li Sen found Wu Fang, Wu Fang grinned ugly, patted his chest and said, let Li Sen rest assured to hand over the matter to him, he will definitely find out how many women Peng San has slept with in the past three days, and what color underwear he is wearing!
I have to admire the efficiency of the Green Gang, in just one morning, Li Sen got all the whereabouts of Peng San for the first day, Li Sen had a general understanding, and felt that this Elysee Cafe on Shenghua Street was very suspicious, and Peng San's taste café must not be his first choice for pastime.
Li Sen walked into the café, and a waiter immediately stepped forward, "Sir, is there a reservation?" ”
Li Sen smiled, "Can't you see my clothes?" Patrol and handle cases. As he spoke, Li Sen took out a photo of Peng San.
"Have you seen this person?" Leeson asked.
The waiter was stunned, and after carefully observing it for a while, he nodded and said, "I have some impressions, but I don't remember very well." ”
Hearing this, Li Sen smiled "hehe" and took out a handcuff from his waist, "You'd better think about it, otherwise we can only go back to the patrol room and think slowly." ”
The waiter's face froze, and he hurriedly led Li Sen to the front desk, and after flipping through the records of the past two days, the waiter looked at Li Sen and said affirmatively: "I've seen him!" He had come to the store for coffee the afternoon before. ”
"Oh? And with whom? Li Sen hurriedly asked.
"With a man with a goatee, there is an appointment for the two of them." The waiter replied.
"What's the name of the person making the appointment?" Li Sen hurriedly asked.
"Ancestor! But I don't know what the name is, and it's not in the records. The waiter said honestly and respectfully.
"Bring the records." Leeson held out his hand.
"This patrol lord, this is the store's private business record." At this time, the manager in the hall heard the wind and spoke.
Obviously, the businessmen in the French Concession still have a deep understanding of the sanctity of private property, but unfortunately this is not France.
Li Sen smiled disdainfully and said, "You're the manager, aren't you?" I'm Li Sen from the patrol room on Foch Road, and now I give you two choices, one obediently hand over the record to me, and the other obediently go back to the patrol room with the record. ”
“......”
Li Sen walked out of the café with the record of the Elysee Cafe with a solemn face, and as soon as he went out, two gangsters from the Green Gang greeted him at the door.
"How about Brother Sen, the news is correct, right?" One of the thugs asked.
Li Sen nodded and said with a smile: "Good job, if you have a chance to turn around, I will give you two a few kind words in your hall." ”
The two thugs immediately laughed happily when they heard this, "Thank you, Brother Sen, thank you!" ”
Immediately after that, Li Sen spoke again, "I'll explain something to the two of you again." ”
"Brother Sen, just say." The two thugs hurriedly said.
Seeing this, Li Sen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Keep an eye on the waiters and managers in this store, and report to the Fuch Road patrol room immediately if there is any situation!" ”
