The Qing court also urgently sent a note to the concession side on this matter, requesting that personnel be sent to assist the concession patrol house in conducting an investigation, but the concession side sternly refused, and the Qing court was helpless.

It stands to reason that the concession side generally will not allow Qing court officials to enter the concession with armed personnel, unless it is to ask for political asylum, but the Enahai obviously did not ask for political asylum, but he has been going back and forth between Baoshan and Shanghai County these days, and the concession is the closest, if you want to make a detour, you have to go around a big circle, in order to travel between Baoshan and Shanghai County, he greeted the concession authorities in advance, and the concession authorities did not make it difficult when they saw that he was just passing by. Unexpectedly, this time he was killed in the northern area of the concession, and along with his eight heavily armed Qing soldiers, he was also killed, which caused a lot of sensation, and in the face of media pressure, the Concession Patrol Office also had to send more effective personnel to investigate.

The death of Enahai made Xiao Zhenlei very surprised, he didn't know who had such a great ability to kill Enahai and the eight Qing soldiers under him, and it was very dangerous to do it in the concession, the public concession patrol house is not faster than the Qing court's local arrest and servants, nor is it better than the French Concession Those who only know how to accept bribes, the public concession patrol house is an institution with a strong ability to solve cases.

Could it be that Chen Qimei's gang did it? There are still some capable people in the rivers and lakes, and it is not very difficult to assassinate a Qing court official with five [pins], and Enahai likes to be in the limelight in Shanghai, unlike Cai Naihuang and others who stay in the yamen if they have nothing to do, and the revolutionaries have no chance to kill him. And the fact that Ona Hai has to show up almost every day gives an opportunity to some people who want to assassinate him.

Xiao Zhenlei didn't care about the death of Enahai. He was just curious about who did it, so he made a call to Jin Jiuling. Jin Jiuling told him on the phone that after the investigation of the patrol room and the forensic examination, it was found that the killing of Onahai and the eight Qing soldiers were two pistols, and they were the same model of the Colt Duelist type of left and right pistols, the bullet was 45 caliber, the barrel length was 7.5 inches, this pistol was a cavalry-style standard pistol issued for the US Army, and there was also a model of artillery pistol with a barrel length of 5.5 inches, and the Colt Duelist revolvers of these two barrel lengths were military types. But Colt also produced a large number of civilian versions, with barrels ranging from 4.75 inches to 12 inches long.

Xiao Zhenlei has also dealt with arms dealers and black market arms dealers on the beach, and he knows that there are still many civilian versions of Colt revolvers on the market, but the military version is almost invisible, where did these two military versions of Colt revolvers come from? Not to mention Xiao Zhenlei, Mai Gaoyun, who is in charge of investigating the case in the Public Concession Patrol Office, wondered at this time, you must know that this kind of gun is even parked in Huang? None of the Marines on the U.S. Navy ships on the Pujiang River are dispensed, they are not available on the market in the Far East, and only the U.S. Consulate may have a few. Do you want to investigate the U.S. Consulate? Mai Gaoyun feels a headache when he thinks about it, not to mention whether people let him in to investigate, even if he lets him go in to investigate, people don't cooperate with you at all. This kind of investigation is even inconclusive.

Of course, McGowan also thought of a possibility, someone brought it when he came from the United States, and evaded the customs inspection on the way. And a few days ago, there happened to be a cruise ship coming from Los Angeles, and McGowan wanted to solve the case. On the one hand, he sent people to squat in front of the American consulate, and on the other hand, he investigated various hotels. See if there's anyone suspicious. If the investigation of this case is clear that the Americans did it, he will arrest the murderer, although he has no right to try, but he is the deputy inspector general of the Public Concession Police Department, he has the responsibility and obligation to arrest all the suspects, as for how the suspects are finally tried has nothing to do with him, he just did his duty.

Since there is no further news from the patrol room, Xiao Zhenlei cannot know more than the patrol room, although he wants to know who did it, but he will not take time to investigate this matter, the death of Enahai is a good thing for him, at least there is one less person in the Qing court who suspects that he is a revolutionary.

In addition to Xiao Zhenlei, the death of Enahai made Chen Qimei, Liu Fubiao and others very angry, you must know that this guy of Enahai has killed dozens of their brothers, and now Enahai has been killed by the killer they invited, they can also be regarded as avenging the brothers who were killed by Enahai, and they can also give an explanation to the families of those brothers, a major matter that has been hanging on their hearts has finally been resolved, and the joy is beyond words.

Chen Qimei was happy not only because she avenged the dead brothers, but also because the death of Enahai allowed him to come out again, so that he could have a greater space for activities and contribute to the revolutionary cause.

Liu Fubiao and Chen Qimei are happy for different reasons, although he is also happy because of the revenge of his brothers, but he is even more happy that he can ask Jack to kill Xiao Zhenlei next, Jack can single-handedly kill Enahai and eight Qing soldiers, which shows that this person is a killer with real skills, and he is definitely not one of those guys who looks terrible and is actually a waste.

As soon as he got that Enahai was killed by Jack, Liu Fubiao immediately rushed to Fan Gaotou's mansion and reported the matter to Fan Gaotou, and the report was very detailed.

After hearing this, Fan Gaotou also felt that this foreigner named Jack was indeed extraordinary, and he ordered: "In this case, then let Jack kill Xiao Zhenlei, you immediately find someone to get Xiao Zhenlei's photo, and bring it to him by the way when you send the money over tomorrow, and see how much it costs to kill Xiao Zhenlei, by the way, how much did it cost to kill Enahai?" ”

Liu Fubiao said: "A total of 10,000 US dollars, not including my brother in Citigroup who came out for me!" ”

"Ten thousand dollars?" Fan Gaotou felt a little painful after hearing this, and his brows furrowed, but he was quickly relieved, "It's a little expensive, but it's worth the money!" If Xiao Zhenlei can be killed, the old man's mind will be over."

The housekeeper next to him couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Xiao Zhenlei will die if he dies, it's a pity that Zhenhua Company's big family business is only afraid that it will fall into the hands of the government!" ”

After the housekeeper said this, Fan Gaotou also felt a pity, it was a family business of millions, Zhenhua Company was worth so much money but second, the key is that it is a hen that lays golden eggs, as long as it is properly managed, it can bring a steady stream of wealth, Fan Gaotou thought of this and couldn't help but say: "It's a pity, if the old man can master Zhenhua Company!" ”

Listening to Fan Gaotou's words, the housekeeper's eyes rolled a few times, and he suddenly had an idea: "Master, in fact, it's not that there is no way to get Zhenhua Company, it's just that you have to pay some price!" ”

"What?" When Fan Gaotou heard this, he immediately stood up excitedly and grabbed the butler's hand, "You, do you have a way?" Say it quickly, if you let the old man get Zhenhua Company, the old man will definitely reward you! ”

"Thank you, sir, listen to me slowly!" The housekeeper thanked him unhurriedly, and then said: "Master, what do you think, if Xiao Zhenlei dies, in the case that he has no heirs to inherit the incense and family business, the Zhenhua Company and other industries under his name will definitely be taken over by the government, Zhenhua Company in Baoshan, it should be taken over by the Baoshan County Ya, and Xiao Zhenlei still has two properties in the concession, an electric light company, this is estimated to be cheaper for the concession authorities, and in the gate?" There are also textile factories in the north, and there are many shops in the county, which have to belong to the Shanghai County Ya, the lord you can ask to see the Baoshan Ge County Order and the Shanghai County County Order Li Xiumei respectively, these two people are local lords, they can't and dare not blatantly take those industries as their own, the only way is to sell them to others, here is to say, let's just talk about Zhenhua Company, there are only a handful of people who have the financial resources to take Zhenhua Company down on the beach, Zhenhua Company thousands of workers want to eat, and the factory must not stop working, Otherwise, the workers will rebel and make trouble, in order to find someone to take over Zhenhua Company, the only way for the government is to sell it cheaply, Ge Shihong will definitely be painful, but this is also a helpless thing, and you can negotiate with Ge County Order, let him sell Zhenhua Company to you at a low price on the surface, in fact, secretly you and he each occupy a part of Zhenhua Company's shares, he does not come forward to operate, you or you send someone to operate, he has to share dividends, so that Zhenhua Company will not be sold cheaply, Ge Shihong actually got the biggest benefits, Some other industries located in Shanghai County, you can also negotiate with Li Xiumei according to this method, this method is beneficial to you and them, it is a win-win situation, I think they have no reason to refuse! ”

After listening to the housekeeper's words, Fan Gaotou couldn't help nodding frequently, thinking that this was indeed a good way, Ge Shihong and Li Xiumei were both county officials, and their identities determined that they could not blatantly take possession of the property belonging to Xiao Zhenlei as their own, they could only sell it to private individuals, and the money obtained must also be returned to the public, and the money that really came to them was still very small, but if these properties were sold to private individuals at a low price, and they actually secretly still occupied most of the shares of these industries, they had no reason not to use this method to cooperate with others.

However, Fan Gaotou thought of it again, and he frowned and asked, "Is it good for you to do this, but sir, I still have to pay a large sum of money to buy Zhenhua Company and those industries from the surface, right?" It's impossible for Ge Shihong and Li Xiumei to keep the sale price down to the point of outrageous, right? And secretly they still have the lion's share, no matter how you look at the master, I don't take much advantage! ”

"Hey, my lord!" The housekeeper was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "You don't want to think about it, could it be that Ge Shihong and Li Xiumei have been officials here all their lives?" There is always a time when they are transferred or resigned, maybe you buy those properties today, and they will be transferred away tomorrow, if you really can't see them taking the lion's share, you can buy them first, and then find a way to get rid of them, is it difficult for you to kill a county order? ”

Fan Gaotou was clicked by the housekeeper, he stood up excitedly and said: "Okay, they will leave sooner or later, if they don't leave, the old man will find a way to let them go back to their hometown, this matter is so decided, pay attention to confidentiality, and never leak the news."

"Yes, sir!" (To be continued......) R1292
