On July 14, 1913, it was a hot and disturbing day, the willow leaves were rolling, and people's hot minds were swollen, and they couldn't wait to soak in cold water.

A new two-story building at the headquarters of Shanghai Guanghua Group is a run-down gray building in Shanghai, where high-rise buildings are lined with skyscrapers. There is a white-lacquered wooden sign hanging at the door: Commercial Police Corps.

The innermost room on the second floor was filled with smoke, and those who didn't know thought it was on fire.

Yang Yide, the head of the Shanghai Police Department, nicknamed Yang Bangzi, kept smoking, spilling cigarette ash all over the ground, and his forehead and face were blue and purple, obviously being beaten! Sitting opposite him was Fang Qingyu, the deputy chief of the Merchant Police Corps and the captain of the Einsatzgruppen.

"Captain Fang, Wu Shiying and Ying Guixin were snatched from my police department by the 61st Regiment of the Shanghai Army, where are the several patrol officers under the brother who are the opponents of the regular army, the incident happened suddenly, and the brother is powerless! You have to be in front of Chadudu and Adego, help me to talk about it! ”

Wu Shiying and Ying Guixin, the murderers of Song Jiaoren, had been being held in a model prison in the Shanghai Police Department, but yesterday a company of the 61st Regiment of the Shanghai Army was holding a warrant from Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu. Chai Dongliang and Yu Qiaqing had both explained to Yang Bangzi in advance that they must control the suspect in his hands, so Yang Bangzi refused to hand him over. The soldiers of the 61st Regiment were beaten and smashed in the police hall at that time, and even Yang Bangzi was beaten by stink, and Wu Shiying and Ying Guixin were also snatched away by them.

Fang Qingyu sneered: "Chen Yingshi's dog is too bold, he really thinks that this big Shanghai is his family's vegetable garden, and he can do whatever he wants?" ”

Yang Bangzi gritted his teeth and said: "Now that the Guangfu Army has been disbanded, more than a year has passed since Tao Chengzhang was killed, and no one is chasing him, so Chen Yingshi wants to jump out and make trouble??? Captain Fang, if you just forget him, it will save him from jumping up and down on the beach! ”

Fang Qingyu shook his head and said: "He is a director of the Kuomintang, it will not end well to kill him casually, and besides, the task given to me by the governor is to ensure the safety of the Guanghua Group, this matter will be put aside for the time being, isn't it a court today?" Let's go check it out! ”

Yang Bangzi said with a bitter face: "Now the safety of my brothers is not guaranteed, the patrolmen of this police station are all fucking waste, can Captain Fang send some people to protect them?" ”

Fang Qingyu nodded and said: "That's okay, in this way, I'll discuss it with Captain He, if he agrees, I'll send three hundred people to you, you also know the equipment and combat effectiveness of our commercial police corps, with them guarding the Shanghai Police Department, even if all the 61st Regiment of the Shanghai Army is here, you won't be able to move a single hair!" ”

Yang Bangzi said happily: "That's good, that's good, thank you Captain Fang!" After speaking, he shook his head again and said: "This case is also strange, the confession of the antique dealer Wang Afa who reported the case did not match the preface and the afterword, and it was full of loopholes, the murderer Wu Shiying originally said that he was instructed by Ying Guixin, but he retracted his confession in court, saying that it was his own idea to kill Song Jiaoren, and no one instructed him." Later, he said that he was not used to seeing Song Jiaoren attacking the central political axe. ”

Fang Qingyu sneered: "It's nothing rare, someone must have taught him behind his back." ”

Yang Bangzi also nodded and said: "I guess so, but this guy seems to have been looking for death from the beginning, I have seen a lot of people looking for money and women, and it is really the first time I have met someone looking for death." The prisoners who were arrested before were all trying to exonerate themselves, only this guy was deliberately caught by the patrol of the concession! ”

Fang Qingyu said coldly: "Dead man! ”

A guard walked in, saluted, and said, "Deputy Captain, someone from the Police Department said that there is an urgent matter to find Director Yang." ”

"Let him in!" Fang Qingyu waved his hand.

A middle-aged man wearing a patrol shoulder flower ran in panting, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Hall Director, the murderer of Song Jiaoren, Wu Shiying, is dead!" ”

Yang Bangzi stood up from the chair suddenly: "Kill people and kill people? Chen Yingshi is so ruthless! ”

Fang Qingyu said quietly: "Isn't that the result of the dead man?" That's the end of this case, no matter who tries it, it's a confused case, and there is no proof of death! ”

The 61st Regiment of the Shanghai Army was formed by Chen Yingshi when he served as the governor of the Shanghai Army, and the regiment commander was his henchman, yesterday Wu Shiying was escorted to the 61st Regiment, and today Wu Shiying died, who is the murderer is not a louse on the bald head, it is a clear thing!

At this time, killing Wu Shiying was obviously because Chen Yingshi was afraid that if he said the instigator behind the scenes, it would be detrimental to him.

"Wow, are you in an office or a monk's temple? There is such a big smoke in the house, smoked bacon? As soon as He Tianshou pushed open the door, he was blinded by the smoke.

"Captain He, is there something wrong?" Fang Qingyu asked.

He Tianshou beckoned with his only remaining right arm: "Director Yang, you sit down first, I have something to discuss with Captain Fang, and it will be fine immediately." ”

Yang Bangzi hurriedly stood up and said, "You guys are busy, I'll go first." ”

He Tianshou summoned Fang Qingyu to his office, then closed the door and took out a secret telegram: "The governor has sent a telegram, saying that the Kuomintang is preparing to rebel, and it is estimated that the battle will start in the next few days, let us make all preparations to ensure that Guanghua Company is foolproof, and if we have the ability, we will exterminate the judgment army that attacked Shanghai." ”

Fang Qingyu smiled happily and said, "Haha, there is a battle!" It's been suffocating for a while! ”

He Tianshou said coldly: "This time, we must capture Chen Yingshi alive and avenge Mr. Tao Chengzhang." ”

Fang Qingyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, if Chen Yingshi doesn't rebel, it will be his fate, if he dares to do it, it will be his death!" ”

??? Dividing line ???

The summer in Anqing City is surprisingly hot, and Wu Meiqi's room has more than a dozen copper basins, which contain a whole piece of ice, which is steamed by the hot air, and the room seems to be a fairyland.

Mo Xiaolian looked at the ice in the basin curiously, each piece was crystal clear, and it was also carved into various patterns.

"It's so pretty, but it's a pity that it melts in a while!" Mo Xiaolian watched these exquisite ice sculptures turn into cold water, and said distressedly.

Wu Meiqi supported a piece of white silk with an embroidery hoop, and said while embroidering: "What is this?" There are many ice cellars in my house, this is in Anqing, if you are at home in Wuhu, you have to use thousands of catties of ice every day. ”

Mo Xiaolian said with a smile: "Good girl, how much does it cost to get so much ice?" ”

Wu Meiqi shook her head and said: "I don't know, this is frozen in my own house in winter, and then stored in the underground freezer, and taken out for use in summer." ”

The sun was blazing outside, but it was a little chilly inside, Mo Xiaolian's body was thin and she was only wearing a moon-white stump, and there were dense goosebumps on her arms.

She walked over and hugged Wu Meiqi, startling her.

"You're so warm." Mo Xiaolian said with a grin.

Wu Meiqi snorted and said, "I'm afraid of the cold and go outside to bask in the sun." ”

Mo Xiaolian smiled: "I'm afraid of tanning, I'm afraid of cold and heat, hey, my sister says that I'm a young lady." ”

Wu Meiqi smiled and said, "Are you still a maid?" It's going to be Mrs. Du Du soon, can you inquire about this Anqing City, that girl doesn't envy you? ”

Mo Xiaolian snorted and said, "You're still different?" Oh, we're different, he and I are innocent, you two are already that, that, that! ”

Wu Meiqi glared and made a gesture to prick with a needle: "Who is with him?" You damn girl, I can't tell you anything, I treat you as a good sister, but you come to cancel me! ”

Mo Xiaolian hurriedly pretended to be pitiful, shook Wu Meiqi's arm and said, "Good sister, I was wrong, I was wrong and even wore my underwear outside, don't be angry." ”

Wu Meiqi couldn't help but be happy, and sneered: "You still talk about me, you learn all his nonsense, and what those gentlemen say, your girl's family can also say it??? Still wearing underwear outside? ”

Mo Xiaolian's cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and she was speechless.

Before He Tianshou went to Shanghai, Chai Dongliang sent people to the Wu family and the He family to propose marriage, which was expected, and it is not uncommon for two women to marry one husband in this era, which big family does not have three wives and four concubines?

After the two families discussed, it was decided to marry at the same time three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the two entered the door at the same time, regardless of size. The matter was properly discussed, He Tianshou went to Shanghai, and his wife stayed in Anqing to get married.

Wu Meiqi suddenly remembered the last time Chai Dongliang was angry, and said with palpitations: "You don't know, how fierce his temper is, he made me cry for several days last time." ”

Mo Xiaolian smiled: "What kind of man is a man if he has no temper?" My brother-in-law's temper is very strong, and the soldiers are afraid of him. ”

Wu Meiqi pouted and said: "Your brother-in-law is a really good man, he has a temper and rushes at outsiders, and when he sees your sister, he is better than a mouse and a cat." That ruthless guy is good, he talks and laughs with you on weekdays, and when it comes to business, he turns his face! ”

"Didn't he apologize to you? What else do you want? Or don't you get married at all? Mo Xiaolian quipped.

Wu Meiqi raised her eyebrows: "Are you desperate?" I don't want you to be satisfied, I'm going to marry him, and I have to marry the scenery. ”

Mo Xiaolian smiled and said nothing, looked down at the flowers she embroidered, and couldn't help but wonder for a long time: "These are two chickens?" How is this chicken in the water? ”

Wu Meiqi's willow eyebrows were upside down: "Is this a mandarin duck, what kind of eyes do you have?" ”

Mo Xiaolian smiled and leaned back and said, "This is a mandarin duck?" Oh my God, it's the first time I've seen a sharp-billed mandarin duck! ”

Wu Meiqi looked at it carefully for a long time, frowned and said: "It's quite like a chicken, this mouth is a little sharper, I will dismantle it and re-embroider it."

Mo Xiaolian smiled and said: "No need, look at these two chickens, one swims in front and the other follows behind, isn't this exactly what it means to marry a chicken and follow a chicken?" Good lip gloss! ”

Wu Meiqi nodded again and again, and it took a long time to wake up: "What chicken?" It's a mandarin duck, your chickens can swim? ”
