Regardless of whether the assassination occurred in Tianjin or in the concession outside the city, as long as no foreigners were involved, the case was tried by the Tianjin District Court. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the Ministry of Industry Bureau wants to intervene in criminal cases in the info concession, it is generally too lazy to intervene.

This is also the reason why Chu Yufeng dared to send people to the concession to kill people, even if the gunman was caught, it would be accepted by the Tianjin District Court, and most foreigners would turn a blind eye.

But once it comes to foreigners, then the matter will be a big fuss. The body hearing this case will be transformed from the Tianjin District Court to the Foreigner Consular Court (there are also some special courts in Shanghai, such as the British High Court in Shanghai, the United States High Court in Shanghai, etc.).

If it is not handled well, the criminal case will lead to a diplomatic incident, and even the Beiyang government will be involved.

So as soon as Chu Yufeng heard that the British were injured and the gunman was caught, he immediately made Du Xiaoshan a scapegoat. Du Xiaoshan is also cunning and cunning, saying that I don't carry this pot.

Chang Zhiying, director of the Tianjin Police Department, was formerly the commander of the 107th Brigade of the 20th Division of the Army under Zhang Zongchang, and was later recruited and dug up by Chu Yupu. Historically, this person also became a traitor during the Anti-Japanese War, and the official was the pseudo-Jinan Daoyin and the pseudo-Qingzhou Special District administrator.

Chang Zhiying was definitely a lackey of the Chu family at this time, and as soon as Chu Yufeng gave the order, he immediately led the team to arrest people in person. As a result, Du Xiaoshan had already fled into the concession and surrendered to the patrol room of the Ministry of Industry.

Patrol room.

Ma Liu was hung up and beaten badly, and the police officer began to ask: "Name!" ”

Ma Liu, who was covered in whip marks, was drenched in salt water again, crying in pain, and couldn't wait to tell all the things about peeking at the widow's bath when he was a child: "My name is Ma Kui, others call me Ma Liu, 30 years old this year, my ancestral home is Hebei, and I live in Majiahe Village, Baoding Road, Zhili Province (Anping County, Hebei......)"

"Stop, stop!"

The police officer said impatiently: "If I ask, you can say a word, don't grab words!" ”

Ma Liu hurriedly said, "Okay, sir." ”

"It's called Ma Kui, which Kui?"

"I don't know, I'm illiterate, so sir, write just one."

"Who else is in the house?"

"My father and mother and two younger brothers died when they fled, and one of my younger sisters was sold to Renyazi, and I am the only one left in the family."

"Isn't your name Ma Liu? Don't have a few brothers? ”

"Back to sir, I have six fingers on my left hand, so I call it Ma Liu."

"Occupation?"

"If you don't have a career, you're foolish."

"That's the bastard. Where do you usually stay? ”

"The rented house at No. XX Hutong XX in Nanshi."

"Who told you to kill the British?"

"Sir, wronged, I didn't shoot the British."

"Dare to quibble! Come on, hit me hard! ”

"Really, wronged! Yes! Don't fight, don't fight, I say...... Master Du Xiaoshan asked me to kill Zhou Hexuan, and gave me a handful of flowers and 1000 oceans. I disguised myself as a fruit seller, squatted outside Zhou Hexuan's house for several days, and finally saw him go out, and then I followed, you can ask the shoe-shiner Zhu Wu about this! ”

"Who is Zhu Wu? Where do you live? What is the full name? ”

"I don't know, I only know that his name is Zhu Wu, and he has been shining shoes on that street."

"Say it well, don't lie, I'll bring Zhu Wu to confront you."

"I said, I'll say it well. At that time, I followed Zhou Hexuan all the way, and later he went to meet two foreign adults. But the gun on that foreign adult's body really didn't hit me. I only fired three shots, one shot flew away, one shot at Zhou Hexuan, and one shot at his entourage. Later, I was chased by Commander Feng's men again, and I fired four more shots, and the flower mouth could only hold seven bullets, all of which were finished by me, and the bullets on Lord Yang's body were really not fired by me! ”

"Believe you for the time being, wait until I arrest Du Xiaoshan! Take this guy to be locked up, tie him up and gag his mouth, and don't let him kill himself! ”

……

Zhu Wu saw that Maquila's stomach had not returned, and he saw that the sky was almost dark. He looked at the fruit stand next to him, and his heart was furious, ready to push it all back to his house.

Just walked not far away, and was suddenly blocked by a group of Chinese patrols, and asked the leader: "You are Zhu Wu?" ”

"yes." Zhu Wu nodded subconsciously.

"Arrest me," the patrol captain said sharply, "I'll tell you Zhu Wu, you've committed a crime!" ”

Zhu Wupu knelt on the ground and cried: "Sir, I don't want the fruit, please don't catch me." I have an eighty-year-old mother and a ...... below."

"Take it away!"

……

The location of the incident was cordoned off by several squads of Indian soldiers, who went from house to house to investigate, and all those who looked like bad guys were arrested.

Finally, two soldiers found rifles and photographs on the rooftop, and one of them shouted in curry-smelling English: "I found it, I found the murder weapon!" ”

"I found it first!" The companion hurriedly said.

"I saw it first!" The Indian Ah San before said angrily.

In order to make meritorious contributions, the two actually fought on the spot, and each was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen. The one who won in the end grabbed the rifle, and the one who lost only got a photo of Zhou Hexuan.

They ran downstairs and rejoiced as if they had found gold.

……

Du Xiaoshan wore a wig on his head and dressed as an old mother and went out of the house through the back door. He didn't dare to take a car, so he walked a few streets before calling a rickshaw and went straight to the patrol house in the British Concession.

On the way, Du Xiaoshan met a team of patrols, as if he had seen a relative, he jumped out of the car and shouted: "I am Du Xiaoshan, I know the murderer behind today's shooting, arrest me quickly." Fast! ”

The patrols looked at each other, and then rushed up and directly tied up Du Xiaoshan.

was taken to the interrogation room of the patrol room, and before he was interrogated, he was about to be tortured, Du Xiaoshan hurriedly shouted: "I surrendered, I said it all, don't waste time!" ”

The police officer in charge of the interrogation couldn't cry or laugh: "Say it, Master Du, I'll listen." ”

Du Xiaoshan said quickly: "Zhou Hexuan offended Chu Yufeng, and Chu Yufeng asked me to find someone to assassinate him." Ma Liu, who was captured by you, was indeed sent out by me, but it is none of my business that the British are injured. Chu Yufeng was afraid that I would not be able to do my job well, so he arranged another gunman, and the British old man was injured by Chu Yufeng looking for a gunman. Also, I didn't want to kill Zhou Hexuan, and I specially told Ma Liu not to hit the deadly place. And I sent someone to remind Zhou Hexuan and let him go out and be careful of assassins, I was forced! I didn't think about killing anyone, really. ”

The policeman's brows furrowed, this matter involves a warlord, and it is no longer something that the patrol room can handle, so it can only be reported to the masters of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau for decision.

……

"Rubbish, it's all a bunch of rubbish!"

"I can't kill Zhou Hexuan, I also injured the British, and even the gunman was caught."

"And you, Chang Zhiying! You are a dignified police chief, you can't kill Du Xiaoshan, do you still have the face to do things for our Chu family? ”

"Get out, get out of here!"

Chang Zhiying waited for Chu Yufeng to vent before saying, "Junzao, should I send a telegram to the marshal?" ”

"Yes, yes, send a telegram, hurry up and prepare a car for me, I want to go to the telegraph office!" Chu Yufeng was already flustered. Once the foreigner issues an order, even Chu Yupu can't protect him, and he will probably be sentenced.

On the way to the telegraph office, Chu Yufeng suddenly shouted again: "Turn around and go to the barracks, I want to go to the front line to fight!" ”

Well, Chu Yufeng finally came to his senses, he knew that the army was the safest. He can't stay in Tianjin anymore, and when the consular court's verdict comes out, the Beiyang government will definitely remove him from his post and investigate him under diplomatic pressure.

Only by staying in the front-line troops can you be exempted from military orders abroad. Even if Zhang Zuolin came in person, there was nothing he could do with Chu Yufeng, and this matter might be eased if it dragged on for a while.
