The Nanjing side has already received a telegram. When the plane landed at Dajiaochang Airport, the military police blocked the entire airport, and the road leading to the city was also under martial law, Chairman Jiang was sitting in Nanchang to suppress bandits, and it was Mrs. Jiang Meiling who came to pick up the plane, seeing that her brother was safe and sound, Song Meiling took a long breath and shook hands with Chen Zikun: "Zikun, thank you." ”

"Yes, get in the car." Chen Zikun didn't say much, and accompanied the Song brothers and sisters to a black bulletproof car, and the vigorous guards jumped on the pedals, the head of the barge gun was wide open, and the three identical cars in front and behind drove towards the city under the escort of the motorcycle team, followed by ten trucks full of soldiers.

The car drove to a heavily guarded villa in downtown Nanjing, and Song Ziwen was closely protected, and he didn't even dare to see his family, because it was not clear who was the force that started and whether there were follow-up actions, and Minister Song couldn't show his head for the time being.

Song Ziwen's mental state was very poor, and he really wanted to see Tang Yulu for the last time, but Song Meiling resolutely refused to allow it, saying that Chairman Jiang was flying back from Jiangxi and was not allowed to go anywhere before that.

The door opened, and a person came in silently, wearing a black Mao suit on a hot day, his hair was meticulously carried back, and he was wearing the blue sky and white sun party emblem on his chest, and his voice was low: "Madam, Minister Song, Chairman Chen." He shook hands with Song Ziwen and said, "Mourn." ”

Song Meiling said: "This is Xu Enzeng from the Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, Section Chief Xu, and Lifu called and sent him to investigate the case. ”

Xu Enzeng said: "Minister Song, you are frightened, and you promise to arrest the murderer." ”

Song Ziwen was depressed, shook his head and said, "Don't ask me anything, my mind is very messy and I don't want to recall this incident." ”

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door, and a man dressed like Xu Enzeng came in, with a horse face and a smile, seeing everyone's solemn expressions, he immediately changed to a stern expression, took off his hat and said respectfully: "Madam, Minister Song, Chairman Chen, Section Chief Xu." He immediately reported to Chen Zikun: "The lowly position is Dai Li, who is the investigation and statistics team of the headquarters. ”

Xu Enzeng said: "Yunong, why are you here." ”

Dai Li said: "Chairman Jiang sent a telegram to send a lowly post to launch an internal investigation, and the person who leaked Minister Song's itinerary is likely to be an insider. ”

Xu Enzeng nodded solemnly, deeply convinced.

Song Ziwen suddenly became irritable: "I'm not the only one at the scene, you go and ask them, I can't think about it, my cheeky voice and smile hurt my bones when I think about it." ”

Xu Enzeng and Dai Li were embarrassed, and Song Meiling said: "Forget it, let my brother have a good rest, you can detect it as soon as possible." ”

The two of them could only retreat.

After driving away the irrelevant people, Song Ziwen said to Chen Zikun: "I just got married two months ago, and the newlywed Yan'er suffered this catastrophe, how can I face his wife, Uncle Tang has prejudices against me, and now that something like this has happened, the relationship between me and Tang Ying can no longer continue, I can't go to his funeral, you can help me put a stick of incense on my cheeks." ”

Chen Zikun nodded, patted Song Ziwen on the shoulder and comforted: "People can't be resurrected after death, the assassin accidentally hit the auxiliary car, he must come again, protect yourself, only those who sacrifice are valuable." ”

Song Ziwen had a string of tears rolling down, choked and couldn't speak, Chen Zikun silently withdrew, and Song Meiling was wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief in the corridor.

"Xiao Tang only got married in May, and his wife is the son-in-law of Tan Yanhong, a party veteran, and she will become a widow when she gets married, so how can people bear it."

Chen Zikun said: "I can only catch the murderer as soon as possible and avenge Secretary Tang." ”

Song Meiling said: "The murderer is not so easy to catch, Shanghai is not Nanjing, the Party Affairs Investigation Department has no law enforcement power, and you can't let go of your hands and feet when you get started, Zikun, you are familiar with the old men of the Green Gang, please come forward to help." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Definitely." ”

Song Meiling said: "You also pay attention to safety, this group of assassins is extraordinary, last month I was assassinated with Kai-shek in Lushan, the assassins hollowed out more than a dozen hams and hid pistols into it, if it weren't for the guard's alertness, I'm afraid that today we would have been separated by yin and yang." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Could it be the same group of people? ”

Song Meiling shook her head: "I don't know, there are many forces that want to assassinate Kai-shek, and it is possible for any party, but it is the people in the southwest who have made a lot of trouble recently, as well as Sun Ke and them." ”

Chen Zikun said: "I will fly back to Shanghai tomorrow to find out what happened." ”

Just as she was about to leave, Song Meiling shouted from behind: "Zikun." ”

Looking back, there was a pair of eyes containing affection: "Be careful." ”

The next day, Chen Zikun flew back to Shanghai, and before leaving, Song Ziwen handed him an envelope and asked him to hand it over to Tang Ying.

Stepping on the morning dew to the Daxiao field, there were several planes parked on the airport, one of which had already entered the runway, and seven men in tunics hurriedly boarded the plane, led by Xu Enzeng, who he had seen yesterday.

Suddenly, a car came speeding up, and two people jumped out of the car, one of whom was Dai Li, who ran over with his top hat in his hand: "Wait for me." ”

The propellers of the plane were already spinning, and Xu Enzeng poked his head out and said, "It's full, you can catch the next flight." Then he asked his men to close the hatch.

In the roar of the motor, the plane taxied on the runway and took off, disappearing into the sky, Dai Li turned around stupidly, and saw Chen Zikun standing next to the plane, and immediately put on a smiling face: "Chairman Chen......

Chen Zikun is a cheerful person, and without waiting for him to ask for help, he said: "Come on, there are empty seats anyway." ”

"Thank you so much, time is precious, if you are late, you will definitely be punished by the principal." Dai Li, wiping his sweat and gratefully, took his entourage and got on the plane.

Chen Zikun also got on the plane and sat in the back cabin with Dai Li, after the plane took off, there was a chat without a ride, the sound in the cabin was too loud, and the speech could not be heard clearly, but it can be basically guessed that the investigation and statistics team of the headquarters to which Dai Li belonged and the Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee were in a confrontational relationship, and the two overlapped business, often handling the same case, and each time the competition was very fierce, in the end, the Central Organization Department had greater power and more resources, and each time it had the upper hand.

The Shanghai-Nanjing route was very short, arriving two hours later, Chen Zikun's plane was more advanced, the speed was fast, and he even arrived in Shanghai before Xu Enzeng's plane.

"Yunong, I'm optimistic about you, work hard, don't let down Chairman Jiang's cultivation." Chen Zikun patted Dai Li's shoulder and encouraged.

"Thank you, Chairman Chen, for your encouragement." Dai Li's horse face was shortened with a smile.

The Anti-Smoking Law Enforcement Corps sent a car to pick them up, and when Chen Zikun saw that Dai Li and the others did not have a special car, he transferred a Ford car for them to use during their stay in Shanghai.

When Xu Enzeng's plane appeared in the sky, Dai Li had already driven into the city.

……

Chen Zikun did not immediately go to Tang's house to mourn, but went to Li Yaoting's mansion and called Xue Bin, the captain of the anti-smoking law enforcement team and the president of the Three Guns Association.

"There is such a vicious case in Zhabei, we can't sit idly by, today it's Song Ziwen and Tang Yu, tomorrow it could be me, it's you, everyone talk about it, who did this case?" Chan said.

Li Yaoting said: "It's definitely not done by the people in the Qing Gang, the more powerful ones, Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin, all have a good relationship with the government, and they are seeking money, and they will never assassinate the uncle for a little money, this kind of work is only accepted by hooligans who do not enter the stream, but these people have very poor organizational skills, and it is not easy to retreat in a place with dense military and police such as the railway station." ”

Xue Bin said: "The underground forces in Shanghai are not only the Qing Gang, but also the Japanese Black Dragon Society, the Korean government-in-exile, and various small gangs, such as Gu Zhuxuan, these people are often darker, more ruthless, and more unscrupulous than the local gangs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

Chen Zikun said: "Yaoting turned around and called Du Yuesheng and asked him to help check. ”

Li Yaoting immediately hung up the phone to Du Yuesheng and made an appointment to discuss in detail.

Chen Zikun thought about his social relations, and also called Cheng Ziqing of the French Concession Patrol House, asking him if he had any clues, and the other party swore that as long as there were any clues, he would immediately report to Chairman Chen, and added at the end: "This thing should not be done by ***, they have been staring at them very closely recently, and they have no time to do this case." ”

"Thanks, I'll invite you to dinner another day." Chen Zikun hung up the phone, thought about it, and excluded the Qing Gang and ***, then only the princes of Liangguang and Sun Ke would remain.

"Check, starting with firearms and smoke bombs, it is said that two smoke bombs were put during the assassination, this thing is not something that ordinary people can have." Chan said.

Xue Bin rubbed his hands and said: "Our brothers have been operating hard for more than six years since they entered Shanghai in the thirteenth year of the Republic of China. ”

After arranging the investigation of the case, Chen Zikun went to the Tang Mansion that night to offer condolences.

The Tang family is also a family in Shanghai, Tang's father is a famous doctor in Shanghai, his family is wealthy, and he has a good relationship with the political and business circles, the Tang Mansion is located in a garden house in the French Concession, and has set up a spiritual shed, and it is white everywhere, and the intellectual family is not crying like ordinary people, but there is a depressing and solemn atmosphere, no one cries, but the silence is more sad.

Chen Zikun specially changed into a black suit, bowed to the portrait of Tang Yinglu, offered incense, and the family replied, Tang's father was too sad and had fallen ill, only the surviving person, a young woman in black gauze in her twenties, and Tang Ying saluted the guests together.

"Sister-in-law, please mourn." Chen Zikun comforted Mrs. Tang twice, and then looked at Tang Ying, the girl's crying eyes were like peaches, pear blossoms brought rain, I felt pity.

sighed softly, turned around and went out, and a person walked opposite, with a black coat and a long shirt, a mustache, round-framed eyes, and a sense of anger exuded from his body.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Tiecheng, the mayor of Shanghai, and Yang Hu, the commander of the garrison, also came to the mourning hall, after the memorial service, everyone gathered together to greet each other, Chen Zikun saw that there was no man in the Tang family to preside over the overall situation, so he volunteered to take on, he was high-level, and his prestige was also high, under his auspices, the slightly chaotic condolences became orderly, and guards were also set up at the door, and the lively idlers and so on all declined.

There was an endless stream of mourners, until eleven o'clock in the middle of the night gradually scarce, Chen Zikun has been around the mourning hall, Mrs. Tang thanked again and again, Chen Zikun said: "Although I have only known Brother Rou for one day, but at first sight, it is my honor to keep his spirit, and it is also the trust of Brother Ziwen." ”

Tang Ying took a paper bag and handed it over, Chen Zikun opened it and saw that it was a 1,200 yuan banker ticket.

It is appropriate to talk about the heart of the deceased, but such a generous gift is a little strange.

"Who gave this to you?" Chan asked.

Tang Ying shook her head: "It's the person who follows you, I don't know him." ”

Mrs. Tang also shook her head: "I don't have this friend." ”

Chen Zikun took the Zhuang ticket and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I know who it is!" ”

"Who is it?" The two women wondered.

"It's the murderer!"
