Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Strange Death (Part I)

Tang Qianlin and the others waited outside the house for a long time, and saw a person who looked like a sheriff hurriedly walked out and said to a police officer at the door: "Hurry up, go to the hotel and invite Mr. Tang Qianlin Tang." ”

When Tang Qianlin heard this, he subconsciously raised his hand: "I'm here." ”

When the sheriff saw Tang Qianlin, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, Speaker Mo is invited." ”

Tang Qianlin nodded, and after glancing at the few people next to him, he crossed the blockade and entered the mansion, while the others were still stopped outside, and for some reason Tang Qianlin was allowed to enter alone.

Qian Sinian stared at the gate of the mansion, thought for a moment, and turned to leave.

After Qian Sinian left, Li Yunfan and Ye Da glanced at each other, and Ye Da then turned around and left, following Qian Sinian, wanting to know what he was going to do.

After the sheriff led Tang Qianlin into the mansion, the anxious Mo Di hurriedly walked out of the lobby and greeted him.

Tang Qianlin asked, "Mr. Mo, what's wrong?" ”

Mo Di said: "President An was killed. ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "Who is President An?" ”

Mo Di said: "An Guotao, president of Jiamusi Riman United Commercial Co., Ltd., is now the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Gongrong Village and the representative of Chinese in Gongrong Village. ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "Why is Mr. Mo looking for me?" ”

Mo Di said: "Of course it's an investigation. General Ishihara said that Mr. Tang is good at solving cases, and if there is trouble, you can also ask you for advice, and I also said at the time that there will be no trouble here, who knows, alas......"

Tang Qianlin said: "Isn't there a police officer in Gongrong Village?" It's inconvenient for me to come forward, right? ”

Mo Di said: "I can't hide it, because of special reasons, the police here are not professional, so I have to ask Mr. Tang for help." ”

Why did Kenji Ishihara come to me? Tang Qianlin pondered in his heart for a while, and then asked, "How did President An die?" Why did you conclude it was a homicide? ”

Mo Di said: "Mr. Tang, you can come and see with me." ”

Tang Qianlin followed Mo Di through the lobby to the backyard, where he saw four policemen standing guard around a closed hexagonal pavilion.

Mo Di pointed to the hexagonal pavilion and said, "This is it." ”

Mo Di motioned for the police to get out of the way and pushed open the door of the hexagonal pavilion with his own hands.

When the door was pushed open, the first thing Tang Qianlin saw was a pair of dangling feet, and after he walked in, he looked up and found a white-bearded old man hanging himself in the hexagonal pavilion.

Tang Qianlin looked at the deceased and asked, "This is President An?" ”

Mo Di nodded: "That's right." ”

There was only a table and a chair in the hexagonal pavilion, and there was nothing else in the hexagonal pavilion on which there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Tang Qianlin checked the window and found that the window had been designed to be unable to open since the hexagonal pavilion was built, and then turned to look at the door, it was obvious that the door had been knocked open, and the broken latch was still on the ground, and there were scattered sawdust next to it.

Mo Di looked at Tang Qianlin with expectant eyes on the side.

Tang Qianlin asked, "Who found the body first?" ”

Mo Di said: "It's President An's daughter, called An Ran." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Can you meet her?" Also, my friend named Li Yunfan has the ability to solve cases above me, and he is professional, can you invite him in? ”

Mo Di said: "Yes." ”

As he spoke, Mo Di instructed the police outside the door to invite Li Yunfan and An Ran to the Hexagonal Pavilion respectively.

Mo Di said again: "Miss An Ran is still in the hospital because she was frightened, so it is estimated that she will have to wait." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "It's okay, let's investigate the scene first." ”

Not long after, the police led Li Yunfan over, and Mo Di briefed him on the situation again.

After Li Yunfan listened, he checked the doors, windows and the furnishings in the house like Tang Qianlin before, and then looked at Tang Qianlin: "What do you think?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Judging from the scene, it was not him who killed, but who committed suicide. ”

Li Yunfan nodded and said, "I think so too, Mr. Mo, why do you conclude that he killed him?" ”

Mo Di said: "Look at my memory, I forgot to tell you, after President An suffered a stroke last year, the lower half of his body was paralyzed, and he needed to use a wheelchair on weekdays, so how did he tie the rope to the pavilion beam and then climb up to commit suicide?" Besides, if he commits suicide, there should be his footprints on the table, you see, the table is clean, isn't this what he killed? ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "I see." ”

Li Yunfan approached the shoes of the deceased An Guotao at this time and looked at them, then squatted on the ground again, wiped the ground with his hands, looked at his fingers and said: "Strange, this room is surprisingly clean, the soil on the ground was brought by us after we walked in, and the shoes of the deceased are also very clean." ”

Tang Qianlin observed the deceased's shoes and found that they were a new pair of shoes, the soles were very clean, and the ground was as Li Yunfan said, except for the soil they brought when they walked in, the rest was almost spotless, that is, even if the deceased was not paralyzed and intended to commit suicide, after stepping on the table, there would be no traces.

Tang Qianlin said: "He is in a wheelchair on weekdays, so the soles of his shoes are clean, which is not surprising." ”

Li Yunfan said: "I mean, this room is surprisingly clean, you see that there is no dust even in the corners, if the deceased is paralyzed in the lower half of his body, then this case is his homicide, but the doors and windows are closed, how did the murderer leave after the killing?" ”

Tang Qianlin turned around and asked Mo Di, "Why is President An in this pavilion?" Also, what about the time of his death? ”

Li Yunfan asked, "Do you have a doctor here?" We need a doctor. ”

Mo Di said: "The doctor is there, there is a medical skill that is not bad, let me call him." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Okay, we have to ask him to help us determine the time of death, and also, you call the servants and servants of President An's family or something, I have something to ask them." ”

At the same time in Harbin, Li Qingxiang had already come to the outside of Peach Blossom Lane according to what Yefeng said, and as usual, those gangsters rushed forward to introduce Li Qingxiang to the kiln and girls inside.

Li Qingxiang didn't pay attention to them, swaggered towards Peach Blossom Lane like a regular customer, walked to the kiln called "Peach Blossom Spring", looked up at the plaque, and walked in.

After entering, the old bustard greeted him and said, "Sir, welcome, is there a familiar girl?" ”

Li Qingxiang took out the banknote and handed it to the old bustard, which can be regarded as a reward, and it can be regarded as letting the old bustard say something that should be said, don't ask whether this girl is inconvenient or that girl is uncomfortable.

"I'm looking for Cui'er." Li Qingxiang didn't even look at the old bustard.

The old bustard put away the banknotes: "Okay, sir, come with me, you came just in time, Cui'er just came back from a long trip, and you are the first one today." ”

Li Qingxiang followed the old bustard to the corner room on the second floor, and after the door was pushed open, the old bustard said: "Cui'er, there are distinguished guests, and you are waiting for you." ”

After the old bustard finished speaking, he stood at the door with a smile: "Sir, you have a good time, you have something to call me." ”

Li Qingxiang took out two more bills: "It's okay, don't let people disturb me." ”

"Good, good!" The old bustard took the money and happily closed the door and left.

After the door was closed, the gauze curtain on the wooden bed next to him was lifted, and Li Qingxiang looked at Guan Beihe sitting there in surprise, and there was a woman who seemed to be asleep lying behind Guan Beihe.

Li Qingxiang looked at Guan Beihe and didn't react for a long time.

Guan Beihe said calmly: "Okay, don't look at it, I'm a shaman." ”

Li Qingxiang came back to his senses: "Guan Beihe, you turned out to be a shaman?" ”

Guan Beihe sat down: "If it is fake, this Cui'er is also my person, most of the time I meet with the contact person in Chongqing, it is here, it is safer, before meeting, I will stun Cui'er, so she will not know who I have met, sit down, Xiangye, let's talk." ”

Li Qingxiang still looked at Guan Beihe with surprised eyes: "I really didn't expect that the director of the Harbin Local Security Bureau, a flag man in an important position, would be one of our people. ”

Guan Beihe raised his hand and said: "Stop, I'm just your informant, I'm just providing you with some information, I'm not your person, it can be said that I'm just a businessman, when I see your military commanders, it's no different from seeing gold bars, I'm selling my life for money." ”

Li Qingxiang nodded: "Okay, I understand." ”

Guan Beihe said: "I asked Kunlun to meet you, and I also know that you are actually Kunlun." ”

Li Qingxiang asked, "Since you all know, why don't you attack me?" ”

Guan Beihe said: "I know that you are Kunlun, not from the Japanese, that is to say, the Japanese secret service has never mentioned the identity of you and your son in any public place, this is very strange, don't you think?" ”

Li Qingxiang nodded: "It's very strange, so how do you know?" ”

Guan Beihe said: "I first learned the identity of your son, and then turned around to investigate you, and found that your newspaper operator and the Japanese were in contact, I told Ye Feng about it, Ye Feng arranged for me to kill the newspaper operator, before killing him, he recruited everything, I only then knew your identity, that's all." ”

Li Qingxiang sighed: "So, the Japanese do know the identity of me and my son?" ”

Guan Beihe said: "Yes, I know your son's identity because there is a traitor within the Anti-Japanese Federation, and I know your identity because your newspaper operator has defected." However, so far, the Japanese have not taken any action against you, and I don't know why, maybe you have other secrets. ”

Li Qingxiang shook his head: "I don't have any other secrets on me, is it because I have no value?" ”

Guan Beihe denied: "Even if you have no value, you are very dangerous, even if the Japanese don't buy you, they will get rid of you, so, I think the problem is probably your son, but I don't know, who is the traitor within the Anti-Japanese Federation, before your son was exposed, the Japanese caught their important figure Secretary Zhu, and there was a traffic officer, but the traffic officer was dead, and now there is only Secretary Zhu left, in my opinion, either this traffic officer, or Secretary Zhu betrayed Li Yunfan." ”

Li Qingxiang pondered for a moment and asked, "That's the Communist Party's business, what does it have to do with me?" ”
