Hu Yunxiang of the Admiralty was also assigned to the relevant defense duties this time. After the meeting, he took the initiative to walk up to Wang Maocai and said respectfully: "Commander Wang, my subordinates will be at your disposal." ”

Wang Maocai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you can help me inform the members attending today's meeting, we will have a meeting tomorrow morning in the conference room underground of the Ministry of National Defense." By the way, send someone to inform the representatives of the Japanese army. ”

"Yes." Before Hu Yunxiang could finish speaking, Wang Maocai left in a hurry. Hu Yunxiang saw that he didn't take the military hat he put on the table, so he got up and took it and shouted, "Commander Wang, your military hat." ”

Wang Maocai realized that he was a little flustered, he took the military hat and smiled: "There are some things today, I will talk to you in detail another day." ”

With that, he walked briskly forward.

Hu Yunxiang couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at his figure, now that such a defense minister is very reckless, how can he have any strategy to retreat from the enemy?

All this was seen by Zhou Fohai. He pondered in his heart, it was a little strange today, this Wang Maocai behaved very differently from usual, there must be something he didn't know. After going out, he said to his subordinates, "Go and keep an eye on Wang Maocai to see what he wants to do." ”

Hu Yunxiang didn't have time to take care of this, he had a close relationship with Nanjing in the past few days, and that Boss Han gave him an order to ask him to make an appointment with the senior officers of the Japanese Navy in the past two days. I am worried that I have no chance, but today I can go over in the name of Wang Maocai.

Wang Maocai noticed a few of Zhou Fohai's spies following behind him. But this was a trivial matter for him, and he talked to the driver and got rid of it.

Out of the conference room of the Executive Yuan, he went straight to Ye Jiqing. After Li Shiqun was poisoned, this woman became Wang Maocai's plaything, and for a time, he also reduced his dealings with her in order to avoid suspicion, but after killing Ding Mocun, he became even more unscrupulous.

It's not that he wants to renew his relationship with this woman, it's just that he has deposited a lot of money with this woman, and now he needs to take it away.

……

At night, the lights on the four streets are still bright. The breath of war doesn't seem to affect here, because the upcoming war has made more people indulge in this place of purple and gold.

A black Ford sedan drove in quickly, the tires of the car rolled over a puddle in a depression in the ground, splashing the water inside, and a drunk man passing by was sprayed, and couldn't help but point at the car and scold, but the Ford car did not slow down at all, and still honked the horn and went straight inside.

The car crunched and braked in front of an apartment, and then, Ah Xing, wearing a black trench coat and top hat, got out of the car and staggered upstairs.

After going upstairs, before Xiao Daiyu's old mothers could stop him, he hurriedly broke into Xiao Daiyu's apartment.

Walking into the house, he squeaked and closed the door, startling Xiao Daiyu, who was still wearing a nightgown. Xiao Daiyu said in shock: "Ah Xing, what are Nong going to do?" ”

"Don't say more, sister-in-law, hurry up and pack your things and come with me." Ah Xing said as he walked over and pulled Xiao Daiyu.

Xiao Daiyu was in a fog, she broke free of Ah Xing's hand, and said a little angrily: "Ah Xing, it's not good for the commander to see it, if you do this again, I'm really angry." ”

Ah Xing calmed down a little and said, "Hurry up and come with me, someone is going to kill you!" ”

"Kill me?" Xiao Daiyu is even more inexplicable, but the days she and Ah Xing have known each other are not short, both of them are sisters and brothers, looking at Ah Xing's expression, he naturally can't tease himself.

"No, I have to talk to the commander about this." As he spoke, Xiao Daiyu was about to grab the phone, but Ah Xing's eyes were quick, and he pressed the phone circlip, and he said to Xiao Daiyu word by word: "Sister, the person who wants to kill you is the commander!" ”

Xiao Daiyu was so surprised that the telephone receiver in her hand fell to the ground.

"Ah Xing, you wolf-hearted thing! The commander treats you well on weekdays, why are you framing him behind your back? Xiao Daiyu turned her head and slapped Ah Xing.

Ah Xing took a deep breath, he shook his head and said, "You are so stupid! ”

It was Xiao Daiyu's turn to be silent, she was naturally not a stupid girl with no brains. Compared with ordinary people, she has experienced a pair of fiery eyes. After being in Shanghai for so long, Xiao Daiyu is also used to seeing characters of all shapes, as for what Wang Maocai said to him "stay until old age", she didn't believe it, but she never thought that Wang Maocai would kill her.

"It doesn't make sense, Ah Xing, it's unreasonable for the commander to kill me. It doesn't make sense. Xiao Daiyu comforted herself like this repeatedly, but she still couldn't make up her mind in her heart.

"Hurry up, it'll be too late if you don't leave!" Ah Xing said anxiously.

Xiao Daiyu still didn't want to believe it, she was hesitating in her heart, Ah Xing in front of her was commensurate with her sister and brother on weekdays, and she couldn't see her feelings in her heart, but she didn't dare to cross half a step of Lei Chi, she knew that everything in front of her was given by Wang Maocai, if she left Wang Maocai, not only would she not have all this in front of her, but she might even die without a place to be buried.

"Where did you hear that?" Xiao Daiyu still didn't want to believe it in her heart.

"It's too late to explain. Let's go. Before Ah Xing finished speaking, a scream came from outside the house, and he pulled Xiao Daiyu to the door, only to see that Ah Qiang had already broken in with a gun.

Ah Xing held the gun in his hand, fastened the door, and pointed to the window outside, "Let's go, hurry down." ”

……

Cuong pushed the door and entered, the latch was not a problem for him. After kicking the door open, he walked in, saw that there was no one in the room, looked at the open window, and put away the pistol in his waist.

……

Ten minutes later, a fire broke out in an apartment on Sima Sima. Billowing smoke rose and burned for a long distance.

Because in wartime, all kinds of firefighting facilities are furnishings, and the fire extinguishing team is basically scattered, and the firefighting can only rely on the people around to carry the water themselves, until more than an hour later, when the apartment was almost burned, the fire was extinguished. However, the original ornate apartment is in ruins.

Some people recognize that this is the apartment of the famous gentleman Xiao Daiyu, Wang Maocai often comes to Sima Road, and most of them stay here with her. It can be said that she is the insider of Commander Wang Maocai.

"It's a pity that this fire has burned everything out."

"It's burned to ashes, and no one knows if there's a little Daiyu in it."

"I think this fire is burning so strangely. Who can say if it was put by someone? ”

"Don't talk nonsense......"

There was a circle of people pointing around, and all kinds of rumors spread immediately. Not long after, a number of sidecar motorcycles and trucks with Japanese military flags drove up, and a group of Japanese military police jumped out of them to disperse the surrounding people, and then they announced that they had taken over the scene.

After a while, Ouyang Huizi, who was dressed as a man, walked over, and she asked a forensic doctor in a white coat, "Mr. Takahashi, can you confirm the identity of the deceased?" ”

The forensic doctor named Takahashi took off his mask, stood up slowly, and said, "Yes, yes, but it will take time." ”

"So, how long will it take?" Keiko asked.

"It's hard to say because the deceased has been burned beyond recognition, and the body has shrunk a lot. The obvious markings on my body are basically gone, and I can't guarantee the final time. I'm really sorry. After Takahashi finished speaking, he bowed slightly, and then waved his hand, motioning for someone to carry the body away.

Ouyang Huizi also bowed slightly, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

After everyone was carried away, Ouyang Huizi's brows tightened. Half an hour ago, she learned about the situation, and unfortunately, Wang Maocai himself was also missing, and it was said that he was burned to death in it.

Ouyang Huizi naturally didn't want to believe it, she knew Wang Maocai's personality, and knew that this guy would not be stupid to this point. But Wang Maocai really disappeared.

If Wang Maocai was one of the people who was burned to death, then who did it? And if it wasn't Wang Maocai who burned to death, then where was Wang Maocai? And who will do this?

Many mysteries lay in her mind, but they were like a mess.

……

At this time, in a hutong alley in Shanghai, A Xing and Xiao Daiyu, who looked tired and frightened, settled in a small and dusty room.

Ah Xing wiped a bench in front of him with his sleeve and asked Xiao Daiyu to sit down. "Sister-in-law, come here and sit down. Rest assured, this is where I used to live, although it is a little dirty, but no one knows about it, at least for the time being. ”

Xiao Daiyu sat down in shock, and after turning around, she smiled and said, "Ah Xing, don't call me sister-in-law, call me sister." ”

Ah Xing scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"By the way, Ah Xing, how did you know that Wang Mao was going to kill me?" Xiao Daiyu was still a little puzzled.

Ah Xing said: "I heard their conversation. ”

"Talk?" Xiao Daiyu asked.

"Well, Wang Maocai asked me to send you a message earlier today, saying that I should bring his trench coat over. I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary at first. Later, when I couldn't find the car keys, I was about to go back and get them, and I overheard him talking to Cuong. ”

"He told Cuong that there was an adultery between us, and asked him to kill both of us, and then set fire to the apartment."

Xiao Daiyu was still puzzled after hearing this, and she asked, "Could it be that someone said something beside him?" ”

Ah Xing shook his head, "Of course not, he did this just under a pretense to avoid the Japanese." The real purpose was that he wanted to escape. ”

"Escape? Are you saying that Wang Maocai is ready to escape? Xiao Daiyu couldn't believe it.

"Yes, he ran away on his own. I think he's gone now. Ah Xing said.
