As soon as this statement came out. The young grandmother of the Tang family and Miss Tang were all frightened.

"Why did the murderer come to the house, they killed the cuff, do they want to kill us!" The young grandmother said sadly.

Tang Ying also said urgently: "Chairman Chen, you have to save us." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Don't worry, this is just my speculation, the murderer killed the wrong person and felt guilty in his heart, and I came to offer a big gift to apologize, of course, it is just an inference, and it may also be other friends of the heart, because other things have sent so much money, as long as I take this banker ticket to check the ins and outs, it will be clear." ”

That night, Chen Zikun called the patrol Fang Cheng Ziqing and asked him to send ten Chinese arresters to patrol near the Tang Mansion, and left the accompanying guards in the mourning hall as guards, in fact, he also understood that since the killer killed the wrong person, he would not continue to attack, but in order to appease the Tang family, he still did so.

When he left the Tang family, he gently put Song Ziwen's letter in front of Tang Ying.

The next day, Chen Zikun sent people to take the banker ticket to find clues, the financial industry in Shanghai is divided into two types: banks and money houses, banks are brought in by foreigners, money houses are Chinese their own things, credit is more important than life, bank checks and bounces, banks will also fail, but the bank's bills are extremely strong, money houses belong to the nature of unlimited companies, shareholders bear unlimited joint and several liability, so the reliability is very high.

The people who use the banker are also well-known people with status in the society, such as Du Yuesheng, even if his family runs a bank, he also carries some bankers with a denomination of one hundred taels, not for anything else, this is a symbol of status.

Zhuang ticket is an ordinary blank paper, covered with a long wooden seal of the bank, the content is completely handwritten, looks very simple, in fact, the degree of anti-counterfeiting is very high, the brush word dragon and phoenix dance, it is difficult to imitate, each bank ticket is independent, there is a stub, there is no possibility of counterfeiting.

In the past, the banker is used in silver two units, in recent years, in order to compete with the bank, it is gradually used as the unit, this banker is issued by the Huishang Fuxiang silver, the face value is 1,200 yuan, the face value is very high, there must be a record in the bank.

Xue Bin sent Su Qingyan to investigate the case, the military advisor is not used to the life of the army, or the pleasure of mixing the rivers and lakes, in fact, the shelf of the Three Guns Club was built by him, the nominal president of the Three Guns Club is Xue Bin, but the actual manipulator is the Soviet Military Division, of course, without the care of Chen Zikun, the big boss behind the scenes, in Shanghai, where there are more carps crossing the river than there are carps crossing the river, the loose association organization like the Three Guns Club has long been wiped out eight hundred times.

Fuxiang silver is located in a narrow alley in Nanshi, can only allow one person to pass, this is the silver number deliberately, to prevent theft and robbery of a way, the silver boss surnamed Hu, it is said that the red-top businessman Hu Xueyan is a distant relative, Hefei people, very polite, he thought that Su Qingyan was the boss who came to open an account, and warmly invited him to visit the silver vault.

The silver vault was filled with rectangular heavy silver nuggets, each of which was a thousand taels, and there were many horseshoe-shaped silver ingots, each with two hundred taels.

"Anhui people are opening accounts with us and using money." Boss Hu smiled lovely, and reported a few names, all of whom were good Anhui people in Shanghai.

Su Qingyan nodded and said, "Boss Hu, my brother came here today, in fact, for one thing. As he spoke, he took out the banker's ticket and put it on the table and pushed it over.

Boss Hu smiled: "It's easy to withdraw money, it's easy to do, come on, prepare 1,200 yuan for Boss Su." ”

Su Qingyan said: "It's not a withdrawal, I want to know, who issued this ticket, and whose hand did it go through?" ”

Boss Hu said: "This, I really don't disclose it, you are ...... Patrol room? ”

Su Qingyan said: "Brother is not from the patrol room, he is from the Three Guns Club, this ticket involves a case, the stakes are very high, please make it convenient for Boss Hu, and it is convenient for everyone." ”

Although the words are polite, but there is a faint threat, the Three Guns Club was only mixed in Zhabei at first, and now even the concession and Nanshi, Huxi have also infiltrated, the influence is very large, and it is said that there are very tough backers, the garrison headquarters and the police department do not dare to provoke them, let alone a small money bank boss.

Boss Hu hesitated, but still took out the account book to check it, and told Su Qingyan that the drawer was so-and-so, an Anhui businessman who did tea business, and as for how many times it changed hands in the middle, Qian Zhuang really couldn't help.

Su Qingyan thanked him and left.

When he walked away, Boss Hu called the personal servant, whispered a few words, the little guy went out from the back alley, and after confirming that no one was watching him several times, he entered an alley, entered a house, and whispered a few words to the people in the house.

The people in the house sent the little servant and went out to call a rickshaw and go straight to the French Concession.

Half an hour later, in a certain house on Bishop Yao Road in the French Concession, a man in his forties received visitors, and when he heard the words of the three-gun meeting, he couldn't help frowning.

……

The Anhui tea merchant who issued the ticket was not in Shanghai, and it was said that he went back to his hometown to receive the goods, and he would not come for a while and a half, and the clues were interrupted, and there was no progress in finding the guns and smoke popping out, and there were more guns on the beach in Shanghai, not 10,000 but 8,000, and no one could find out clearly, the smoke bombs were military supplies, and in recent years, there have been many wars around Shanghai, and there are many military supplies in the people, and there is no way to check them for a while.

The clues were all broken, which made Chen Zikun very depressed, the Three Guns Society was a Jianghu organization in the end, not a secret investigation agency, and it was unprofessional to do this, so he thought of Xu Enzeng and Dai Li, and called them to ask about the progress of the work.

Xu En once relied on being a member of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and did not buy Chen Zikun's account, under the pretext that it was confidential and did not leak the news, but Dai Li was very knowledgeable and told Chen Zikun that he could not find anything here, not that there were no clues, but that there were too many clues, and there were many people who knew Minister Song's itinerary, and every link could be leaked, and many people were foreigners, and the investigation team had no right to interrogate them, so it was difficult to carry out the work in short.

After three days in this way, it was difficult to store the body in the summer, and when Tang was buried, there was still no progress in the case, and Chiang Kai-shek, who rushed back to Nanjing from Jiangxi, issued a strict order to all departments to step up the investigation and solve the case within 10 days.

For a time, the atmosphere in Shanghai became tense, and the Detective Brigade of the Songhu Garrison Command, the Shanghai Police Department, and the two secret investigation organs from Nanjing all went crazy to arrest people, but the real culprit was still nowhere to be found.

Ten days passed quickly, and the murderer still had not been arrested, not even a clue.

On this day, Chen Zikun received an invitation from Du Yuesheng to drink tea and chat in a teahouse on the bank of the Huangpu River.

After some greetings, he went straight to the point, Du Yuesheng said: "Chairman Jiang sent these people to investigate the case, which is tantamount to chasing ducks to the shelves. ”

Chen Zikun said: "How do you say this? ”

Du Yuesheng said: "The water in Shanghai Beach is too deep, how can the detectives from Nanjing find out the cases that our local old fritters can't find, and now they have hired local bags to inquire about the case, but according to me, they still can't find out." ”

Chen Zikun was thorough at one point, and said: "It seems that there is a reason why I can't find out, the person who wants to kill Song Ziwen has a deep background." ”

Du Yuesheng smiled: "In fact, the background is not so important, mixing in the rivers and lakes, don't care how horizontal and multi-fold, it is nothing more than seeking wealth, but when you meet a master who does not want to die, no one can go around." ”

Chen Zikun gradually understood: "So, who is the biggest outlaw in Shanghai?" ”

Du Yuesheng said: "There is a person, even Zhang Xiaolin is so good at fighting, he has to walk around when he sees it, this person is very old, he was the commander of the Hefei Revolutionary Army in Xinhai, and the deputy ambassador of Anhui, and there is a group of killers from Anhui under him, who are good at using steel axes, and are not afraid of death, and the most important thing is that this person has always opposed Chairman Jiang. ”

Chen Zikun suddenly became enlightened, once the people in the rivers and lakes are involved in politics, they will definitely be in the vanguard and pawns, Anhui people, anti-Chiang, and gang leaders, these factors are combined and exposed.

"Mr. Du, thank you." Chen Zikun clenched his fists.

"Drink tea, drink tea." Du Yuesheng picked up the teacup, although he didn't even mention his name, the answer had already come out.

……

With Du Yuesheng's mention, the three guns will quickly find out the name of this person and the location of the entrenchment, this person's name is Wang Yaqiao, the word Jiuguang, gathering a group of Anhui coolies, known as the axe party, Wang Yaqiao is a heroic and righteous person, quite ancient, the most of his subordinates is as high as 3,000 people, and even the police department is afraid of him for three points.

It's a pity that this person's whereabouts are uncertain, and no one knows his whereabouts.

"Dig three feet into the ground and dig him out!" Chan gave the order.

"Do you want to notify the National Police Agency and the Songhu Command and ask them to help?" Su Qingyan asked.

"The more people who know, the easier it is for the news to leak out, so let's do it ourselves." Chan said.

Thanks to the underground organization of the Three Guns Society, otherwise even if it is an official investigation agency, it will have to be deflated in the magical land of Shanghai Beach, the patrol house of the public concession and the patrol house of the French Concession are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the ability to collect intelligence and investigate cases far exceeds that of their counterparts in the Chinese community, and when it comes to cases in the concession, the Chinese authorities have no right to enter the arrest, and can only entrust the patrol room to arrest and extradite, but it doesn't matter if it is a non-governmental organization like the Three Guns Society, it is just loaded in and arrested, and the big suitcase is loaded and smuggled out.

Relying on the pervasive Green Gangsters, the Three Guns Society finally got the exact information, and Wang Yaqiao was hiding in a villa on Bishop Yao Road in the French Concession.

Chen Zikun dispatched 200 good men in civilian clothes to enter the French Concession in batches to secretly arrest Wang Yaqiao, equipped with shell guns and daggers, and greeted Cheng Ziqing in advance, saying that the three guns would do something, and the patrol room should take care of it.

After the people were dispatched, Chen Zikun stayed in the office of the National Defense Construction Supervision Commission in Zhabei and waited for the good news, when suddenly Liu Ting came in and said that Miss Tang was looking for her.

"Please let her in." Chan said.

It was really Tang Ying who came in, dressed lightly, wearing white flowers, with a sad expression, a bloodless face, and the double blow of losing her brother and falling out of love made her close to collapse.

"General Chen, have you caught my brother's murderer?" Tang Ying asked in a hoarse voice.

Chen Zikun said: "It's about to be caught." ”

Liu Ting made a cup of tea and came in: "Miss Tang, please mourn." ”

Tang Ying raised her face: "I ......"

Downstairs, a few short-beaten men slowly came over, and the guard at the gate noticed that something was wrong, and was just about to stop drinking, when a sharp axe flew through the air and slashed right on the door of the head.

The black-clad and glasses man in the lead raised his right arm, and a fierce man with an axe rushed out of the alley.

The Shanghai office of the National Defense Construction Supervision Commission is a separate small western-style building, and a squad of guards is stationed downstairs, who is playing cards and chatting in the duty room at this time, and the rifle is still on the gun rack, and when the axe party rushes in, it is too late to take the gun, and the knife and axe are chopping indiscriminately, blood is flying, and the whole army is suddenly annihilated.

At the same time, a group of sturdy men, led by the glasses man, rushed straight to the stairs, and the wooden staircase made a loud thud under their trampling.

The screams and the sound of stairs reached Chen Zikun's office, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly pushed the heavy coffee table to the door, the door was kicked and shaken, and several sharp axes slashed through the door panel, and the thick oak door could not block the crazy attack.
