Liu Zhan'en's memorial service is scheduled for April 9, and the day of his burial is scheduled for April 19. It stands to reason that this is not in line with traditional Chinese funerals. However, traditional Chinese funeral customs are inherently diverse. Liu Zhanen and Wang Liming both studied abroad and were deeply influenced by Western thought, so everything was simple. Only two ceremonies were prepared, one was a memorial service, and ten days were set aside after the memorial service for Liu Zhanen's close friends from the north and south of the world to come to mourn.

After all, the refrigeration technology of this era was limited, and the corpse could only be preserved for ten days on the premise of satisfying the public's admiration. Ten days later, the corpse will decompose, which is a great disrespect to the deceased.

A memorial service was held at the International Chapel, 53 Pétain Road. On the day of Liu Zhanen's memorial service, more than 2,000 well-known and unknown people from all walks of life in Shanghai were present. All teachers and students of Hujiang University wore black veils to attend the memorial service.

After the silence ended and the wreath was laid, Wang Liming took the stage to deliver a memorial speech. The eulogy is not long, one is to commemorate the deceased husband, and then to condemn the murderer to fight against the Japanese invaders. Then, Wang Liming said to everyone: "In order to commemorate my deceased husband, I, Wang Liming, will add a Liu character in front of my name today and change my name to Liu Wang Liming!" The funeral will be handed over to the International Red Cross Society in Shanghai for refugee relief efforts. ”

The crowd sighed. Although Liu Wang Liming has extensive knowledge and outstanding ability, he was a little unable to support it at this time, and was helped off the stage by everyone. Then, Qing Xiaoyi read out the condolence messages from all walks of life for Liu Wang Liming. Liu Zhan'en had a great influence among overseas Chinese and high-level Chinese intellectuals, and was assassinated and died tragically. The people hurt their kind, so there are many condolence electrodes. The Nationalist Government, the Council of Churches of China, the American Baptist Convention, the Southern Baptist Convention of the United States, Feng Yuxiang, Tao Xingzhi, Zou Taofen, Zheng Zhenduo, Luo Jialun, and countless other names of later generations appeared at Liu Zhanen's memorial service.

What everyone didn't know was that at the same time, Dai Li, the big boss of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, that is, the military commander, received an order from Chiang Kai-shek -- to exterminate the Zodiac Society with all his might!

No matter how many crimes the Zodiac has committed before, it has only targeted the middle and lower classes, but this time, it has really aroused public outrage! Every person in the upper echelons does not know whether the next moment, the bullet will come from behind. In the whole of Shanghai, there will be no one except the Japanese who will support the Zodiac Society. Not even trading and cooperating. At this time, it is the best time to destroy the Zodiac Society.

The order was quickly conveyed to Shanghai, and the entire military command system lurking in Shanghai spared no effort to operate.

***********

Liu Zhanen's memorial service began early in the morning and ended at noon. I accompanied Qing Xiaoyi for the rest of my life and stayed until the end of the memorial service. At noon, he left the International Chapel. When I went out, I met a man who covered half of his face with his hat. Only the chin is exposed. Seeing Yu Sheng go out, he slightly lifted the hat that covered half of his face, so that Yu Sheng could see his true face.

It was Chen Mo's subordinates who were disarmed in the tea shed for the rest of his life a few days ago. Yu Sheng knew that Chen Mo must have something to discuss, so he casually approached and heard this person whisper in his ear: "Mr. Yu, see you at the old place at one o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Yu Sheng didn't seem to hear anyone talking to him, and walked straight away. The man was not surprised, and secretly praised in his heart that he would not be surprised for the rest of his life. Then mingled with the crowd that had left the International Chapel and disappeared.

As for the old place, Yu Sheng and Chen Mo had only met once in that tea shed, and it could only be that tea shed. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Sheng arrived at the tea shed on time. Chen Mo was already waiting with the man who had spoken in the morning in a ventilated and unobtrusive place, drinking tea one by one. Seeing that Yu Sheng arrived on time, the man who summoned him took the initiative to leave, leaving only Yu Sheng and Chen Mo behind.

Yu Sheng took a sip of tea and asked Chen Mo, "What is Brother Chen looking for me for this time?" ”

"Brother Yu doesn't know yet, right? The day before yesterday, when the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee heard that Mr. Liu Zhan'en had been killed, he was furious, and it seemed that Mr. Liu Zhan'en and the chairman's wife were also old acquaintances in the United States and had helped the chairman a lot. Therefore, the Nationalist Government was expressly ordered to hold a public funeral for Mr. Liu Zhan'en. ”

"In addition, the death of Mr. Liu Zhan'en, the Zodiac Society has already committed public anger. The chairman of the committee has also clearly ordered Director Dai to go all out to kill the Zodiac Society! And the Zodiac Club is in Shanghai, so this errand naturally fell to our stationmaster Chen and me. ”

"However, my family knows my own business. In the territory of Shanghai Tang, our military command is deeply rooted and leafy, so we are naturally not afraid of the Zodiac Society, but after all, this Japanese lackey has the support of the Japanese, and it may be difficult to eradicate it at one time, so we can only ask for foreign help. Stationmaster Chen and I thought about it and felt that Brother Yu was a very good foreign aid, so Chen came to ask for help this time. ”

"Ask me for help? Brother Chen wasn't kidding, was he? I'm just a moviemaker, so it's okay for me to scold the Japanese, but I'm really not good at doing it myself! ”

"Brother Yu, don't be humble! I heard from the people in the patrol house that when Brother Yu drifted in the Yangtze River for more than ten hours before he arrived at Shanghai Beach, not only did he not freeze to death by the cold river water in winter, but as soon as he landed on the shore, he saved the patrol officer of the patrol house, Cartres. With both hands shouting, he carried Katres for nearly 100 meters. In other words, the weight of Patrol Officer Cattres was 260 pounds at the lightest! How did Brother Yu do it? ”

In addition, after the explosion of the New Asia Hotel, the Zodiac almost didn't turn over Shanghai Beach in order to find the murderer. Although no one has yet grabbed the hands and feet to prove who did it. However, in order to vent his anger, the Zodiac Society killed more than a dozen people who had only the slightest suspicion, and only one of them escaped. And when this person escaped from the heavy encirclement of the Zodiac, he showed an extremely clever Trace Fist technique. Although the Zodiac had firearms, they only caused the man a slight wound in the leg. I think this person is already at the level of a generation of martial arts masters! ”

"And a few days ago, there were thieves from the Zodiac Society in Brother Yu's house, and when there were only women and children in the house, the seven strong men of the Zodiac Society with kung fu were all killed. The corpse was sunk into the Huangpu River to feed the fish. Chen was not talented, and happened to pick up a corpse. After being identified, this person actually died under the fist of Lost Trace Fist. I don't know, in Brother Yu's family, which woman and child are actually a generation of martial arts masters? ”

Chen Mo said one piece of information after another, and sweated for the rest of his life. Although he has good kung fu, he rarely shows himself in front of people since he came to the beach. The only time he made a move was because Chen Tian broke into the villa. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of professional intelligence officers, some details that he never paid attention to were linked, but they actually pointed to the truth!

Yu Sheng said jerkily: "What does Brother Chen mean by this?" Is it to threaten Yu? ”

"Definitely! Brother Yu, don't get me wrong, we have found out that the person who escaped from the hands of the Zodiac Society, named Chen Tian, turned out to be the only descendant of Chen Zhen, a disciple of Huo Yuanjia. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child for nearly 30 years. We have also collected the information of Brother Yu in Nanjing, and originally only said that Brother Yu was a talent, but I didn't know that he was still a martial arts master. ”

"We are not looking for this information to embarrass Brother Yu, it's just that the military commander asks someone to help, if he doesn't know the details of the helper, and I don't know if this person is capable, wouldn't it become a joke? Of course, in order to show sincerity, these materials are only known to me and Stationmaster Chen, and they will be burned immediately after reading, without any copies. ”

"Stationmaster Chen and I know that martial arts are so strong that they are close to the realm of a generation of grandmasters, and it is not easy to find people who can be trusted, but in this bustling city, the attack power of a martial arts grandmaster with a firearm is terrifying. It is the best choice for stabbing. We also know that with Brother Yu's reputation today, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it himself. Therefore, we would like to ask Brother Yu or that Mr. Chen Tian to help us deal with the Zodiac Society. I don't know if Brother Yu can agree? ”
