"Now that an agreement has been reached, there is no need for me to hide it any longer." Jiro Takahashi walked up to Tang Qianlin and said, "However, you have to tell me, what is your purpose?" ”

Tang Qianlin replied simply: "My purpose is to find out the truth. ”

Jiro Takahashi asked again, "What about after finding out the truth?" So what? Publicly? ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "It depends on what the truth is, whether there is any need to make it public, if not, I will continue to seal the secret, this is my duty, what about you?" ”

Takahashi Jiro said: "When you save me, I'll tell you." You already know enough about me, and as for where I met this crawler, I'll tell you when I get there. ”

Tang Qianlin looked at the Buddha statue: "You have to at least tell me, what did you find in this Buddha statue?" ”

Takahashi Jiro went to check the door of the carriage and made sure that it was closed, then he turned around and threw a crowbar to Tang Qianlin, motioning for him to stand on the leg of the Buddha statue: "See that gap?" Pry open. ”

Tang Qianlin and Takahashi Jiro used a crowbar to pry up the lid on the upper layer of the coffin of the Buddha statue coffin directly, and then the two worked together to push the coffin lid to the side.

The moment he pushed the lid of the coffin, Tang Qianlin was taken aback, because in the coffin of the human mound lay a beautiful woman with long hair wearing shaman robes, hanging all kinds of ornaments, and having a ruddy complexion like a living person.

Tang Qianlin was about to ask something, but he found that Jiro Takahashi beside him was more surprised than him, and he took a step back directly: "Why, how can it be ......like this?"

Tang Qianlin asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Jiro Takahashi stared at the coffin of the mound: "Inside, there is obviously a corpse lying inside, a dried corpse ......"

As soon as Takahashi Jiro said this, Tang Qianlin was shocked, he turned his head to look into the coffin, for fear that he was mistaken, don't say that there is a dry corpse lying in it, just say that no one believes it.

Tang Qianlin squatted next to the coffin, looked carefully at the lifelike female corpse inside, and asked for a long time: "Are you sure that when you first opened it, there was a dried corpse inside?" ”

"Sure, sure, we took pictures and used the camera to film everything that was opened." Takahashi Jiro swallowed his saliva, squatted down and looked at it carefully, "Mr. Tang, what the hell is going on?" ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I don't know, haven't you opened it along the way?" ”

Takahashi Jiro shook his head: "I know what you mean, but I personally escorted them along the way, and they almost never left my sight, so it is impossible for someone to replace the dried corpses inside." ”

Tang Qianlin took out his gloves and put them on, and carefully touched the back of the female corpse's hand, and after the back of the hand was touched by him, a small pitted depression immediately appeared, and it took a long time to slowly return to its original state.

At the same time, Tang Qianlin felt that something seemed to be squirming inside the female corpse's hand, and when it returned to its original state, it was obvious that the thing was turning around under the skin.

Tang Qianlin thought about it, and then reached out and touched the face of the female corpse, which was hard and not soft.

Tang Qianlin hesitated, pressed the position of the cheekbone of the female corpse's cheek with a slight force, then withdrew his hand and thought about it, and then reached out and slowly pressed all the way down from the female corpse's neck, all the way to the ankle.

Tang Qianlin got up and took off his gloves: "It shouldn't have been replaced, this is indeed a dried corpse made by special methods after death, which is the specimen you said." ”

"Dry corpse?" Takahashi Jiro stared at the beautiful woman in the coffin of the mound, "How can this be a dried corpse?" This was not the case with what I saw before. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Let me ask you, didn't you say before that you would transport this person's coffin to Xinjing for storage?" Why are you still following this train? ”

Takahashi Jiro said: "That was a pretense, deliberately confusing those anti-Japanese elements, but in fact the plan was to ship this thing directly to Dalian and then ship it back to Japan." Tell me, why do dried corpses become like living people? ”

Tang Qianlin took out his pocket watch and glanced at it: "If I'm not wrong, after half an hour, this female corpse will turn black, as if it has been burned, if it is really like that, it will be a big trouble, and things will be complicated." ”

Jiro Takahashi wondered: "What do you mean?" ”

Tang Qianlin leaned to the side: "Wait patiently for half an hour." ”

While Tang Qianlin and Takahashi Jiro were waiting in the carriage, Tang Zicheng, who was far away in Harbin, was led back to Liufu by He Chenxue.

Although it was cold, the two did not take the car, but walked back.

Tang Zicheng yawned all the way around, because without Tang Qianlin's company at night, the child slept very unsteadily, and it can be said that he had nightmares.

He Chenxue walked alone in front, and Tang Zicheng walked cautiously behind, because the ground was too slippery, and as a child who grew up in the south, he would fall if he didn't pay attention to it.

"Mother-" Tang Zicheng subconsciously shouted, "Take me." ”

He Chenxue stopped and stopped: "Manly man, do you still need someone to lead you when you walk?" Walk on your own, get up when you fall. ”

Tang Zicheng was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything, and just after taking two steps, He Chenxue stopped again and told him: "From now on, you are not allowed to call me mother, call me little aunt." ”

Tang Zicheng raised his eyes and looked at He Chenxue: "Why?" Aren't you my mother? ”

He Chenxue said expressionlessly: "Call me little aunt, do you understand?" If you call it wrong, you will suffer. ”

Tang Zicheng frowned: "Why?" ”

He Chenxue didn't explain anymore, but continued to walk forward, until she reached the gate of Liufu, she stopped and waited for Tang Zicheng, and then took the child's cold little hand, changed her smile and walked into the door.

The servant at the door saw that He Chenxue was back, and hurriedly greeted him: "Madame is back." ”

He Chenxue nodded slightly, and asked the servant to take off the mink coat: "What about the master?" ”

The servant replied, "The master is in the study." ”

"Study?" He Chenxue thought for a while, "Is there a guest visiting?" ”

The servant said, "Yes, Lord Ma is here." ”

He Chenxue sneered and said to herself, "Lord Ma? I really think of myself as a prince. ”

As he spoke, He Chenxue was about to go upstairs, stopped after walking two steps, and said to the servant: "This is the child of my relative, you take him to change into a set of clothes worn at home and get some hot food for him." ”

He Chenxue thought about it and said to Tang Zicheng: "What do you want to eat, just tell them, don't run around, I'll arrange a room for you later, do you understand?" ”

Tang Zicheng nodded slightly, and He Chenxue said again: "If you understand, answer yes, don't nod, you are not dumb." ”

Tang Zicheng was very unhappy in his heart, but he still endured it and said, "Yes, Xiao ...... Little aunt. ”

Hearing Tang Zicheng call her little aunt, He Chenxue finally had a smile on her face, but the moment she turned around and went upstairs, there was a faint pain in her heart.

He Chenxue went upstairs to the front of the study, stood there and listened quietly, and at the same time took the tray brought by the servant in his hand and motioned for himself to send it in.

In the study, Liu Mou was sitting there smoking a cigar, looking at Ma Yanqing with a smile and said, "Lord Ma, I have prepared the people and equipment you want, and you can use them whenever you want." ”

Ma Yanqing stood at the window with his hands behind his back: "Don't use it for the time being, you hide these people for the time being, don't let them show up, and I will naturally tell you when you need it." ”

Liu Mouzheng got up and walked up to Ma Yanqing: "This morning, I heard news that someone had ambushed the imperial army's train halfway. ”

Ma Yanqing looked sideways at Liu Mouzheng: "What?" Do you think I did it? ”

Liu Mouzheng said with a haha: "How come, I'm just chatting with you, I don't know who is so bold that he dares to ambush the imperial army's train." ”

Ma Yanqing said coldly: "The news of Master Liu is quite well-informed, what happened last night, I will know it today, it seems that you have a lot of friends in the Kwantung Army?" ”

"It's also a few friends, give some thin noodles, after all, such a big matter, we must spread the net to investigate, you know, our Baxiangmen is now also a part of the Security Bureau." Liu Mouzheng was still smiling, "Lord Ma, I think about it, I think that the letter of appointment you gave me is a bit too much for me." ”

Ma Yanqing frowned: "It's over?" What do you mean? Let's be outspoken. ”

Liu Mouzheng looked at the cigar in his hand: "I don't want to be a civil official, since I already have a relationship with the Security Bureau, you see, can I go to the Security Bureau?" ”

He Chenxue, who was outside the door, heard Liu Mouzheng's words, and involuntarily grabbed the tray in her hand, she didn't know what her husband was thinking, why did he want to go to the Security Bureau? When did this person start to be ambitious?

No, Liu Mouzheng is usually not like this.

Thinking of this, He Chenxue raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Liu Mou was sitting there and looked lazily and said, "Come in." ”

He Chenxue opened the door with the smile of a good wife and mother, and walked in with a tray: "Master, Lord Ma, drink some hot tea, warm up, it's cold enough today." ”

Ma Yanqing smiled: "No need, I still have something to do, next time, next time I will go to President He's place to drink coffee." ”

After speaking, Ma Yanqing smiled at Liu Mouzheng and walked straight out of the study.

When Ma Yanqing left, Liu Mouzheng returned to his usual appearance, and said with a long sigh: "These dignitaries and nobles are really hard to serve, I sometimes think, it would be nice if we were full, or you were, or I am, it wouldn't be like this." ”

He Chenxue brought Liu Mouzheng a cup of tea: "Master, Baxiangmen is now on its footing, we have everything, don't fight so hard." ”

Liu Mouzheng's face sank: "I'm not fighting, I'm greedy, if I'm not greedy, how can I live?" ”

He Chenxue didn't say anything when she heard this, but just smiled: "Master, by the way, my relatives have come to Manchuria, and they are in a hurry to go to Jiamusi, so they will let me take care of the child here and let me take care of it for two days." ”

Liu Mouzheng was not curious, but nodded and said, "Oh, okay, let's be treated." ”

He Chenxue nodded: "Master, then I'll go out first." ”

When He Chenxue was about to walk out of the door, Liu Mouzheng asked coldly: "What relatives?" Didn't you say you don't have any relatives in Kannai? ”

He Chenxue stopped and turned around and said, "Distant relatives, count them as my cousin, and the child has to call me little aunt." ”

"Oh, that's ......" Liu Mouzheng nodded, "Okay, distant relatives are also relatives, treat them well, and when your relatives come back, I will invite him to dinner and tell him to appreciate his face." ”

He Chenxue smiled: "Then I thank you on behalf of my cousin." ”

Liu Mouzheng grinned greatly: "Thank you, I don't have to let my wife's family see what a great person she married." ”

He Chenxue left with a smile, and after leaving the study, she put away her smile, she didn't understand how Liu Mouzheng, who originally had no pursuits, could suddenly become so greedy? As the head of the Baxiangmen, a person who holds half of the power of the underworld in Harbin, why does he want to seek an official position in the government? After getting the letter of appointment, you are not satisfied, and you want to work in the Security Bureau?

Someone must have encouraged him, who could it be? He Chenxue thought about all the people Liu Mouzheng knew, and none of them met the conditions she had speculated.

He Chenxue, who had questions, walked downstairs, but at the moment of going downstairs, he saw Ma Yanqing sitting on the sofa, hugging Tang Zicheng, who had changed his clothes, talking and laughing.
