Chapter 105: Imprisonment

Xiao Zhenlei's action of sending Ma Xiaoshuang to put a large number of heads at the door of Fan Gaotou's mansion really frightened Fan Gaotou, Fan Gaotou couldn't afford to get sick because of this, he was old, and his health was already much worse, although Fan Gaotou had been mixed in the rivers and lakes for many years, where had he been so intimidated? And this is not just a matter of being frightened, but also a matter of losing face, Fan Gao is afraid, ashamed and angry.

Although Liu Fubiao, Pan Yuqing and others all expressed their opposition and disapproval of Fan Gaotou's attack on Li Chaowu's attack on Xiao's Mansion in advance, but the matter has already happened, and Fan Gaotou has also failed, but in their opinion, Xiao Zhenlei should not send someone to put so many heads at the door of Fan's mansion, as the saying goes, cutting off heads is just a nod to the ground, but what is the matter if you put people's heads at the door of other people's houses? This is killing someone and slapping the face, isn't it too much? Therefore, Liu Fubiao, Pan Yuqing, Huang Jingrong and others originally had a good impression of Xiao Zhenlei, but after this incident, they all turned to hate Xiao Zhenlei, but they didn't dare to repeat Fan Gaotou's mistakes, and they didn't dare to provoke Xiao Zhenlei lightly.

This incident soon spread throughout Shanghai, and well-informed people knew that Fan Gaotou and Xiao Zhenlei had a fight, and finally ended with Fan Gaotou's defeat and loss, Fan Gaotou's reputation fell sharply in Shanghai for a while, and Xiao Zhenlei's reputation was in full swing.

Xiao Mansion.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Song Shijie and Fan Zhiyong came back from the Baoshan construction site, they were really worried about the situation at home, and at the same time, Uncle Gen and Sister Tao came back, and the family became more lively again.

Xiao Zhenlei only told Song Shijie and Fan Zhiyong what happened last night, but Uncle Gen and Sister Tao and others didn't know about it, and after Goudan went to send Wang Yanan and Cheng Biyao back to school, he also picked up Wu's mother by the way.

Near noon, Xiao Zhenlei made a phone call to the construction site. Let the eagle take a moment to catch Lu Jiasheng and interrogate him to see if it was the assassin he had invited.

After the call, he was holding a newspaper with relish, which reported what happened in the Xiao Mansion last night, but the reporter wrote very vaguely. This is also because not many people have a detailed understanding of what happened last night, and the reporters are just conjectures and speculations.

At this moment, Song Shijie pushed the door in from outside with a somewhat panicked expression and said, "Sir, something happened, Mai Gaoyun, the deputy inspector general of the Central Patrol Room of the Public Concession, came over with a large team to patrol and arrest, and we couldn't stop it." He has a search warrant issued by Inspector General of Police Bruce! ”

Xiao Zhenlei stood up involuntarily when he heard this, his face sank, and he waved his hand: "He came once last night, and now he comes again?" Is it because of the matter of the head of the capital? Let's go, go out and have a look. I'm going to see what he's up to! ”

Saying that, the two walked out of the study, and when they came to the door of the house, Mai Gaoyun had already walked up the steps with the patrol room, Xiao Zhenlei clenched his fists and said: "Mr. Deputy Inspector General, if I remember correctly, you came with a large group of people last night, and you searched my house on the grounds of protecting the safety of me and my family, could it be that you are here to search again now?" ”

McGowan wears a crisp inspector general uniform with a large cap. walked up to Xiao Zhenlei and said solemnly: "Mr. Xiao, you are right, just three hours ago. Mitsui & Co.'s staff reported that when they went to work in the morning, they found Mitsui's manager, Mitsui Toshi, and Mitsubishi's manager, Mitsubishi & Co.'s manager, Jiro Suzuki, both killed in the company, and in addition to the two of them, four bodyguards were also killed. After investigating, we learned that the day before yesterday at the Licha Hotel announced in public that Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro wanted to buy you, and then you sent someone to throw them out of the hotel, and that our patrol room had reason to believe that their deaths were related to Mr. Xiao. At least you're very suspicious, and I'm here to search today. In addition to the search, I have one more thing to do. Jin Jiuling, show the search warrant to Mr. Xiao, lest he say that we don't follow the procedures in the patrol room! ”

Xiao Zhenlei was stunned after hearing this: "What did you say?" Mitsui Shou and Jiro Suzuki were killed? Do you suspect that I sent someone to do it? You're not kidding, are you? ”

Jin Jiuling, the Chinese detective who was following Mai Gaoyun's side, took out a folded search warrant from his chest pocket and shook it open in front of Xiao Zhenlei, and said: "Mr. Xiao, this is a search warrant issued by Inspector General Bruce, I'm sorry, brother, I am on official business, and if I have any offense, please ask Mr. Xiao Haihan, come here, let me go in and search!" ”

"Yes!" After hearing Jin Jiuling's order, the two teams of patrols ran into the western-style building and began to search it vigorously, and the western-style building was suddenly turned into a mess, and even Song Shijie, Fan Zhiyong and others were interrogated by the patrolmen.

Half an hour later, Jin Jiuling walked over and reported to Mai Gaoyun: "Sir, no suspicious items have been found!" ”

Mai Gaoyun also seemed to know that he couldn't find any useful clues, he turned to Xiao Zhenlei and said: "Mr. Xiao, although no useful clues have been found in your home, this cannot rule out your suspicion, after all, this case is related to the lives of the managers of two Japanese commercial houses, and the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai has made solemn representations to the Ministry of Industry Bureau, requiring us to do our best to solve the case and give an explanation to the Japanese side, so we have to be serious, now please come with us to patrol the house, We also need your help in investigating this case! ”

Xiao Zhenlei's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "Mr. Deputy Inspector General, you said that I am very suspicious of this case?" Why do you think so? Could it be that I sent someone to throw the two of them out that day and I was suspected of murder? If you want to talk about suspicion, it should be the suspicion that they want to kill me, right? Also, do you have any evidence? You must know that I am also a taxpayer in the concession, and you have no evidence to take me away for investigation, do you know that I have tens of thousands of taels of silver every minute, and if it is found out afterwards that I did not do it, can you afford these losses? ”

Mai Gaoyun didn't expect Xiao Zhenlei to be so difficult, when he used to handle the case, as long as it was a case involving Chinese, basically as long as he said it, the party would obediently follow him, but this Xiao Zhenlei is obviously different from other Chinese, is a complete thorn!

After his face changed several times, Mai Gaoyun took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Xiao, this case is a serious matter, there are some things that we have to do, and please Mr. Xiao understand our difficulties, and I also said just now, you are just suspicious, not that you did this case, we just ask you to go back to assist in the investigation, otherwise I will bring an arrest warrant instead of a search warrant today!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei didn't move, those patrols didn't dare to do anything to Xiao Zhenlei without an order, and Mai Gaoyun ordered in time, these patrols also had the courage to arrest people, the news of these patrols is well-informed, where did the people who attacked Xiao Mansion last night go? They rushed in and never went out again, there may be some terrible things in this Xiao Mansion, so it's better to make less trouble.

The two were deadlocked for two minutes before Xiao Zhenlei spoke: "Mr. Song, inform my personal lawyers, Mr. Fei Xindun and Mr. Qin Liankui, and tell them about this, I think they should know what to do!" ”

Song Shijie immediately agreed: "Okay, sir, I'll call right away!" ”

"Let's go, Mr. Deputy Inspector General!" Xiao Zhenlei turned around and walked out of the western-style building as he spoke, Mai Gaoyun looked at Xiao Zhenlei's back and shouted, "Jin Jiuling, close the team!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The news that Xiao Zhenlei was arrested in the central patrol room of the public concession because of the murder of Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro was like wings, and it soon spread all over Shanghai Tang.

In addition to Fan Gaotou, there is another person who is particularly happy, that is, Lu Jiasheng, this guy was miserable by Xiao Zhenlei, and he was always thinking about how to retaliate against him, the last Licha Hotel assassination case was the assassin he paid a high price for, and he originally wanted to blame Xu Baoshan for this, but unfortunately the assassination was not successful, and Xiao Zhenlei also noticed that something was wrong.

Qin Liankui and Fei Xindun immediately rushed over after receiving Song Shijie's call, and after learning that Xiao Zhenlei was taken away because of the death of Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro, Qin Liankui and Fei Xindun immediately had an urgent consultation, and Fei Xindun asked: "Lawyer Qin, what do you think we should do now?" The intervention of the Japanese consulate made it much more difficult for us to bail Mr. Xiao out, and Bruce and the Ministry of Industry were afraid that it would be difficult to resist the pressure of the Japanese consulate! ”

Qin Liankui took a puff of cigarette and said: "Anyway, what we should do now is to try our best to bail Mr. Xiao out first, there is no evidence in the patrol room, as long as Mr. Xiao comes out, other things will be talked about later!" As for how to bail Mr. Xiao out, I think that since the Japanese consulate has intervened, then we might as well find an opponent for them! ”

Fei Xindun was puzzled when he heard this: "What do you mean?" ”

What was the initial cause of this? It's Zhenhua's order, if it weren't for Zhenhua's order, I think Mr. Xiao might not have intersected with Mitsui Shou and Suzuki Jiro, and now who took the order? What do you think is the reason for the Japanese consulate meddling? Do they really want justice for Mitsui Shou and Jiro Suzuki? They may have meant this, but I think the main reason for their intervention is that the huge order, if Mr. Xiao is imprisoned for this, will Lihe & Co. still be able to get the order? What's more, the contract hasn't been signed yet! ”

Fei Xindun listened to Qin Liankui's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "Mr. Qin is clever, it is best to let the Germans deal with the Japanese!" (To be continued) R466
