Chapter Thirty-Five: The Tree Moves the Wind
In the afternoon, No. 59 Huaide Street, Lu Shikun's residence.
Luo Shuangchen accompanied Lu Songmian from the Fifth Army Hospital to return here in a hurry. Lu Shikun's study is on the west side of the main hall of the reception, the room is messy, the books in the bookcase have been turned over, many of them have been thrown on the ground, and the antiques on the multi-treasure grid are also passive, there are broken porcelain pieces on the ground, the dark compartment under the mahogany desk has been opened, the safe hidden inside is ajar, and some bills are scattered inside, Zhan Tianxiong stood behind Lu Songmian with annoyance, "Miss, I was about to arrange for someone to cook for the master at home, when the Chamber of Commerce called, saying that someone from Shulan came to find the master, let me come over, I didn't dare to delay and go, and when I came back from the Chamber of Commerce, I found that something was wrong, usually at this time it was when the maid Qiuju was busy, I saw her lying there sleeping in the main hall, and then I found that the master's study entered the person, and then let Shanhe go to you, I'm sorry, Miss, I was careless. ”
Lu Songmian said while sorting out the sundries on the table, "Uncle Zhan, I don't blame you. This is premeditated, you can find Qiu Ju and ask her to help clean up the room, my father loves to be tidy the most, and I don't want him to see such a scene after he is discharged from the hospital. I don't know what his belongings are missing, only when he wakes up. ”
Zhan Tianxiong said: "Qiu Ju is frightened, she is afraid that you will scold her, so she will hide behind." ”
Lu Songmian said: "What do I scold her for, she grew up with me since she was a child, and she doesn't have any feelings, and she is not a person who has the intention to collude with outsiders to do bad things, you can call her." ”
Zhan Tianxiong responded and left.
"Brother Lu, what do you think of what happened at this scene? Now that my father is in a coma and hospitalized, you are my backbone, and I really don't know why my family has never been peaceful since my mother died. ”
Luo Shuangchen carefully looked around again, "Miss Song Mian, look at the books scattered on the ground, as well as the books in the bookcase, although they are very messy, which book do you see that there are traces of turning?" Besides, there are a few pieces of porcelain on the antique shelves that are priceless, how can the thieves who come let them go? Apparently he was not looking for money, but for what he thought was important, and as for the signs of chaos in the study, he wanted to hide it. As for whether there is anything in the safe that he wants, it is unknown at this time, and only when your father wakes up can he be confirmed. ”
Lu Songmian nodded, "Then do I still report the case?" ”
"I'm the police, what else do you report, I'll arrange someone to help you investigate. Which of those people in the Shuntian Department can do things? ”
This is Zhan Tianxiong coming in with Qiu Ju.
"Miss, blame me, I didn't look at my home." Qiu Ju's tears fell like rain.
"Silly girl, it's not your fault. Help Uncle Zhan clean up the house. ”
Qiu Ju choked up and said, "I was wiping the table in the living room, and for some reason, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep in a daze." ”
Lu Songmian said very understandingly: "It's okay, don't be afraid, it's not your fault." It was a man who poured incense into the house. ”
Luo Shuangchen asked Zhan Tianxiong: "Uncle Zhan, when you went to the General Chamber of Commerce, did you see anyone from Shu Lan?" ”
Zhan Tianxiong said: "After I arrived at the General Chamber of Commerce, the manager He over there was waiting for me on the first floor, he said that the person who came was a young man in his twenties, and he had something urgent to do, so he didn't wait for me, and left a piece of elk skin, saying that it was sent by Master Shulan Fan Zhongxian." I was still thinking about cooking for my lord at home, so I came back, and this is what I saw when I got home. ”
Luo Shuangchen said: "Obviously, this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." Miss Lu, who is that Fan Zhongxian? ”
Lu Songmian said while sorting out the things on the table, "I heard my father say that this Fan Zhongxian is a fur merchant, he specializes in the Far East, and he has been friends with my father for many years, as if he came to Changchun two years ago." Are you saying that this Fan Zhongxian conspired with others to come to my house to steal things? ”
Luo Shuangchen said: "At present, I don't know if anyone has succeeded? Obviously, the person who deceived Uncle Zhan in the past knows a lot about the situation in your family, and even knows the relationship between that Fan Zhongxian and your father. The suspicion is that this technique is very low-level, and there is also a possibility that the person who wants to get what he wants from your house is a little impatient. In this way, Chen Yun was injured first, I will arrange for someone else to go to Shulan to verify with that Master Fan, and then wait for your father to wake up and see if there is anything missing, if there is no important thing lost, it will be easy to do. If something important is stolen, we will find a way to track it down. ”
Lu Songmian said softly: "That's the only way." Then I'll help clean up at home, and then go to the hospital to accompany my father, you have to be busy beforehand. ”
"Okay, take care. I've got some business, and I need to get out there. After speaking, Luo Shuangchen shook hands with Zhan Tianxiong and walked straight to the door.
Luo Shuangchen thought, why is there so much Lu Shikun has been doing recently? Is it because he has made a big show and offended people? Or is there someone who is thinking about his inheritance?
Walking to the gate of Lu Mansion, Luo Shuangchen saw that it was almost evening and the weather was very good, so he said to Long Sihai: "You drive to Nalan Mansion and wait for me, there are only two streets from here to there, I'll take a stroll." ”
Long Sihai said uneasily: "Brother Lu, can you do it?" Shall I drive with you? ”
"Go, I'm not at ease, it's okay, go ahead, let the third brother prepare a good meal for me, I'm really hungry."
"Okay, then I'll go first, you have to get there early. Otherwise, the third master will scold me. With that, Sikai reluctantly drove away.
In early spring, the air in Xinjing is very fresh due to the good greenery. Walking on the streets, Luo Shuangchen's mood relaxed a lot, looking at this emerging city, there are many construction sites waiting to start, he knows that these are the offices of the major institutions built by the Japanese for Manchukuo, some have been completed ahead of schedule, some have progressed halfway, some roads have been repaired to half, and some roads have been through, this colonial city, can the people live freely? The people of the Northeast are really suffering from many disasters.
At this time, he heard someone shouting in the alley next to him: "Help! ----”
Luo Shuangchen hurriedly walked over to the mouth of the alley, and saw a group of people surrounding, and kept scolding, "I let you not pay back the money, and I won't solve your hatred if I kill you, Lao Tzu's business is to chase money!" I'm so tired that I'm going to kill you, give me a hard beating! ”
Luo Shuangchen couldn't see who the person who was beaten in the middle, but he knew that he had to take care of this matter, so he shouted, "Stop!" ”
At a glance, the outfits of these six or seven people showed that they were ruffians, led by a burly master, "What? Do you want to be nosy? Mr? In these years, it's good to be able to manage yourself, but you don't care about your master's affairs. ”
Luo Shuangchen suppressed his anger, looked at the person lying on the ground, his whole body was covered with dirt and shoe prints, his nose was bloody, and he was also a big man with a great body, with a heavy beard, lying motionless on the ground, "Why did you beat him?" ”
The scoundrel at the head said: "He owes us money for the casino for three months, and he hasn't paid it back. What's wrong, can't it? ”
Luo Shuangchen said: "Then you can't beat people?" Thinking of this, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, "Are these enough?" Hurry up and get out of here. Let him go, don't trouble him again in the future. ”
"Boy, if you deserve this money, the master will kindly let him go? It's not enough, donkey rolling, it's profitable, I want two little yellow croakers, you're not enough. Let's stay for a while. After speaking, he took the money in Luo Shuangchen's hand and threw it into the air.
Luo Shuangchen asked the man on the ground, "How much do you owe?" ”
The man sat up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "It's one hundred and sixty Manchurian yuan." Who knew three months would become so much? How can I have all that money? ”
The scoundrel at the head said, "Where did you go to gamble?" Pay back? This benevolent and righteous brother, you are less of a good person, let's go, we still have our way to deal with it. Otherwise, I'll clean up with you. ”
Luo Shuangchen was so angry that he grabbed the kid's collar with his right hand, "I don't think you know who your master and I are." Today I will let you know a little longer. As he spoke, his left hand turned into a fist and came to his lower abdomen with a "black tiger heart", and then his right hand took advantage of the situation and smashed his right elbow into the back of his heart, knocking him to the ground, stepping on his ass with his foot and saying, "Who are you coming?" Lao Tzu is from the police department, and if you have something to do to look for me, you will find trouble with him in the future, and Lao Tzu will not leave any of them. As he spoke, he took off the pistol from his armpit and pressed it against the scoundrel's lower back.
"Stop! ------ it's all mine, don't be so real, right? ”
Luo Shuangchen raised his eyes and looked, was it him?
