Tao Chengzhang's death is like a bombshell dropped on the hearts of the Chinese, ordinary people only know that a big man died, and he was blown to the bones, for them at most it is just a little more talkative, after all, the miscellaneous taxes that should be paid will not be less at all, and it is at this time that they will not envy those powerful, it turns out that they are also at risk.

But for Chinese politicians, it is tantamount to stabbing a dagger in the heart, how deep the wound is, the Manchu Qing Dynasty overthrows, the Republic of China was established, although everyone knows in their hearts that there is still no major change in this world, but everyone still has a trace of hope, maybe it can really be realized to cook the constitution, so there are still many people vying for power in various places, but everyone still sticks to a trace of the bottom line, and there is no bayonet to see red.

But Tao Chengzhang's death made all the warmth come to naught, as Song Jiaoren, who had the same dream as Tao Chengzhang, the pain in his heart was particularly deep, he didn't think that the murderer behind the scenes was Yuan Shikai, but he didn't want to believe that Sun Wen would be the murderer, but the lesson from the past was not far away, Jiang Zhiqing and Wang Zhuqing teamed up to assassinate Tao Chengzhang, but he dodged it, but this time he didn't dodge, Song Jiaoren knew that if he couldn't punish the murderer and let the evildoer get the end he deserved, the cornerstone of the Ming Cook would be completely destroyed, When the time comes, everyone will use assassination to eliminate dissidents, and then China will never be at peace.

When Song Jiaoren was thinking about it, someone came to visit, and it was Juzheng who came.

"Dull Chu, I heard that Lao Yuan has appointed you as the case commissioner, I don't know what you think of this case?"

"There is only one criterion for me to handle cases, and if anyone violates the law, they must be brought to justice and judged, only in this way can we comfort the heroic spirits in heaven, maintain the fragile constitution, and avoid the division of China!"

Ju Zheng came to spy on Song Jiaoren's attitude on behalf of Sun Wen, as soon as he heard him say this, Ju Zheng's face changed, and he said slowly: "Dull Chu, in my opinion, Yuan Shikai is ambitious, just take this opportunity to let the world recognize his face, the Beiyang Group is all the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now he has betrayed the interests and rights of the country and is embarrassed by the foreigners, which is really a scourge of the country, please think twice!" ”

After Song Jiaoren heard this, the anger in his chest rose in an instant, and he stared at Ju Zheng fiercely: "The affairs of the law are the affairs of the law, and they cannot be confused with politics, and it is disrespectful to the dead to use this kind of thing as a tool of political struggle!" It is also a blasphemy against the revolution. ”

When Ju Zheng saw Song Jiaoren so angry, he knew that things were going to be bad, so he said: "Brother Blunt Chu, we are all revolutionary comrades, and we pursue the same ideals, do you just watch the revolutionary forces being hit?" ”

"I haven't tracked down who the murderer is, and you confessed so quickly?" Song Jiaoren sneered: "If this is the case, this kind of force is not a revolutionary force, it is a careerist who is a hundred times uglier than Yuan Shikai, I, Song Jiaoren, was born between heaven and earth, only a little righteousness in my heart, I will definitely not be with this kind of person!" ”

Ju Zheng became more and more embarrassed: "Dull Chu, you misunderstood, I think that now Yuan Shikai is powerful, and he wants to mobilize the army to the south, but I am afraid that even if he is the mastermind, it will be difficult to find out the truth, so wouldn't it be to sit back and watch the murderer get away with it?" ”

"Mr. Ju Zheng don't worry, I have hired a detective from France, and I have also found several experts in solving crimes, you can rest assured, I will never frame a good person, nor will I let go of a bad person!" Song Jiaoren's last sentence was full of anger, and Juzheng was disgraced by Song Jiaoren, so he had to get up and leave.

Just as Ju Zheng walked to the door, another person happened to walk in, and the two of them almost bumped into each other.

"Brother Yun Ji, why are you here?" It was Yu Peilun who came to find Song Jiaoren, since the incident of Han Yeping, he only felt that all his beliefs had collapsed, and he also borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, and Song Jiaoren took him in.

"Mr. Dull Chu, I want to take my leave!"

"Do you have any plans?"

Yu Peilun's face showed a trace of bitterness: "I'm going to go to Sichuan, find Qiao Yu, Tao Chengzhang's death is said to be done by Yuan Shikai, but I don't believe it, Tao Chengzhang has always advocated respecting the central government, strengthening centralization, and preventing splits, these are definitely in line with the interests of Lao Yuan, how could he do it, now it's just a thief shouting to catch a thief, I can't stand the filth of Nanjing, although Qiao Yu is not a good thing, but now he is leading the army to quell the rebellion in Tibetan Province and protect the country's territory, who cares if I am a big soldier, Sprinkle this blood on the snowy plateau, and I will not walk in the world in vain! ”

Song Jiaoren's face became more and more ugly, he and Yu Peilun were both idealists, and everyone relied on the pride in their chests to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although there was also a competition, but they never thought that they would fall to this step today, and it would be three points uglier than the Manchu officialdom.

"Yun Ji, I don't object to you going to Sichuan, I hope you don't get depressed, now that China has read books, there are not many people who have the ability, you don't live up to the good years!"

"Thank you Mr. Duchu for reminding me, although I have been drunk for most of the past six months, my heart is the clearest time, and I will not make mistakes again! I know what I want, I don't have anything to say before leaving, I just want to remind the dull junior brother, Tao Chengzhang has blocked their way and has been killed, and you are the same, they will not care about any comradeship, they will attack you, I hate only that people in the world are so confused now, and they regard a group of rats as virtuous! ”

Song Jiaoren arched his hand at Yu Peilun: "Thank you Yun Ji for reminding me, but when I joined the revolution, I didn't hesitate to take this surname, I just want to be able to use my own strength to find out the murderer, so that the people of the world can see that there is justice in this world, and there is nothing else to ask for!" I also have a guard named Luo Ying, he was originally from the overseas Hongmen, he is very skilled, and he is also enthusiastic, so let him follow me like this It's a bit of a waste of his talent, let him go to Sichuan with you too! ”

After Song Jiaoren finished explaining, Yu Peilun took Luo Ying and the two people to leave Nanjing, and went straight to Sichuan, after they left, Song Jiaoren's heart became more and more firm, and now there are two currents of thought all over the Chinese officialdom, both of which are a huge threat to Ming Cook, one is bureaucratic style, the other is gang habits, if you can't reverse the trend, the Republic of China will really become a bubble, and the case in front of you is the best way to educate the people and save the social atmosphere that is about to fall.

On the day Tao Chengzhang was killed, celebrities from all walks of life gathered at Nanjing Higher Normal School, Tao Chengzhang was blown up in full view, and then the assassin fled the scene under cover, and naturally many people witnessed it.

The French detective hired by Song Jiaoren is named Autrand, a veteran detective in his forties, experienced, and has lived in China for nearly ten years, after he took over, he started from all the eyewitnesses, and pursued all the way to find the murderer, and finally Autrand learned from a coachman that he had seen several people running towards the dock with guns, and after his own questioning, Autrand found that one of them had a physical appearance and characteristics very similar to the assassin.
