Zhang Lingkong's New World has been doing brisk business since it opened, and at first he was worried that Bai Yunfei would get in the way, but after the French consul Montpero intervened to mediate for them, the two sides were fine.

Zhang Lingkong continued to expand his business in Huangpu and was very busy opening up all aspects of the relationship, but today's newspaper gave him a headache, and the front page of the newspaper published the peachy news of Zhang Lingfeng and Lu Rulan. And not just one newspaper, almost all the influential newspapers in Huangpu published about it.

Zhang Ling's face was pale, and it happened that Zhang Lingfeng came to look for him for something, and as soon as he entered the door, Zhang Lingkong pointed at his nose and said angrily: "You did a good thing! ”

As soon as Zhang Lingfeng came in, he was scolded by him for having no head and no brain, naturally he was a little confused, because he couldn't figure out the situation, he didn't get angry: "Big brother, where did I recruit you, what kind of evil fire did you send early in the morning?"

Zhang Lingkong threw the newspaper at him: "You can see it clearly, what woman are you so good to touch, but you want to touch her?"

Zhang Lingfeng looked at the report above and laughed disdainfully: "What else do I think is a big deal, big brother, isn't it just a woman, the reporters in Huangpu are most interested in this kind of news, they can write how they want, and they don't catch rapes in bed, I don't care, why should you be angry." ”

Zhang Lingkong said angrily: "What did you say? Who is Lu Rulan? Who in the whole Huangpu doesn't know that she is the woman who opened the mountain to help Zhao Huchen, didn't you force Zhao Huchen to turn his face with us by doing this?"

Zhang Lingfeng sat down on the sofa: "It's just a woman, shouldn't he, Zhao Huchen, turn his face with us because of a woman?"

Zhang Lingkong said: "You, you, let me tell you what is good, you want women, there are so many beauties in my new world, you can choose at will, if you don't like these vulgar fans, there are so many famous ladies in Huangpu, with the reputation of our Zhang family, no one is allowed to look down on you, but you just look at Lu Rulan."

Zhang Lingfeng said: "Big brother, have you said enough? Have you scolded enough? It's not your turn to take care of my affairs." He threw the newspaper in his hand to the ground and turned away.

Zhang Lingkong shook his head, after all, he is Zhang Lingfeng's cousin, although what he said just now is for the sake of this brother, but people don't appreciate it, Zhang Lingfeng is young and romantic, and he has caused a lot of trouble in Manchuria, and now he still doesn't know how to restrain himself when he comes to Huangpu.

Zhang Lingkong thought twice and decided to take the initiative to make a phone call to Zhao Huchen, although his new world is open in the French Concession, but a lot of business is in the Public Concession, Zhao Huchen's status in the Public Concession is equivalent to Bai Yunfei in the French Concession, if he offends Zhao Huchen because of this matter, there will definitely be a lot of trouble, Zhang Lingkong does not want to encounter obstacles during business development.

Zhao Huchen also saw the newspaper, although he has reduced the frequency of meeting with Lu Rulan, it does not mean that he can be indifferent to this kind of thing, the whole Huangpu knows that Lu Rulan is his woman, and now because of the publicity of the newspaper, everyone knows that he was cuckolded by Zhang Lingfeng, which is unbearable, Zhao Huchen feels that he has become a joke in the eyes of others.

The housekeeper came to Zhao Huchen's side and said cautiously: "Master, the phone number of the Zhang Mansion." ”

Zhao Huchen hummed, walked over with a blushing face, picked up the phone, took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Hey!"

Zhang Lingkong's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Huchen, it's me, Zhang Lingkong." ”

Zhao Huchen said: "How did Mr. Zhang remember to call me?"

Zhang Lingkong said: "I haven't had tea with Brother Huchen for a few days, so I want to ask Brother Huchen to drink tea together, and by the way, I just came to play in the new world. ”

Obedient and obedient, Zhao Huchen, an old Jianghu who heard it, understood what Zhang Lingkong meant, and he said indifferently: "Maybe I'm old, but I'm not interested in these things, I'd rather stay at home, write, and read the newspaper, I haven't had time to read today's newspaper." ”

Zhang Lingkong said: "What's the newspaper to look at, most of the news in these years is fake. ”

"Not necessarily, sometimes what reporters write is true, and it may not be groundless. ”

Zhang Lingkong said: "Brother Huchen ......"

Zhao Huchen obviously didn't have the mood to continue to talk to him: "I'm sorry, I have a guest at home, let's talk about it later." ”

Zhang Lingkong heard a blind sound coming from the earpiece, and he realized that this time the matter might be more serious than expected, and Zhao Huchen was clearly angered.

Zhang Lingkong put down the phone and said to his subordinates: "Go, bring the young marshal, I have something important to talk to him." ”

Although Zhang Lingfeng collided with Zhang Lingkong, he is not a fool, he and Lu Rulan's peachy news is flying all over the sky, it is impossible for Zhao Huchen not to know, and it is impossible not to care, Zhang Lingfeng looks down on Zhao Huchen in his bones, thinking that Zhao Huchen is just a subordinate snake, but he also knows that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, after all, this is Huangpu, not Beiman, he is a young marshal in Beiman, but here others only regard him as a son.

Zhang Lingfeng decided to leave Huangpu for a period of time to avoid the limelight, he didn't say hello to Zhang Lingkong, and after going back, he packed his luggage. When he came to the parking lot, he found that the driver was not in the car, he shook his head, and opened the rear trunk of the car, after the rear trunk was unfolded, Zhang Lingfeng's face changed, and he saw a woman's corpse curled up in the tail box, the woman was covered in bruises, obviously suffered a lot of torture before her death, this woman was the courtesan Lu Rulan.

Zhang Lingfeng turned around and wanted to escape, but saw several masked men coming out from all around, and the muzzles of the guns in their hands were all aimed at him.

"Young marshal, please come with us. ”

Zhang Lingfeng was kidnapped in front of his mansion, Inspector Liu of the French Concession patrol room finally knew what it means to be in trouble, although he was lucky enough to avoid the first two troubles, but he didn't expect this trouble to come quickly, and it was bigger than before, it was still the French consul Montpero who gave him an order to solve the case within a time limit, and the case must be solved within three days.

Inspector Liu's first reaction this time was not to go to Cheng Yufei to assist in handling the case, but to visit Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong, because he understood that even if Cheng Yufei was willing to help him, even if the patrol police in the entire French Concession and even the entire Huangpu were dispatched, they might not be able to solve the case within three days.

There are not many people in the French Concession who can talk to the consul, and there are even fewer Chinese who can affect him, either Inspector Liu does not have this friendship with others, or it is impossible for others to come forward for themselves, Inspector Liu wants to come and go, and only Luo Lie is the most likely to help.

Luo Lie was also surprised by Inspector Liu's visit, but after listening to him explain the situation, he immediately understood the predicament faced by Inspector Liu.

Ye Qinghong had just come back from a morning run, said hello to Inspector Liu, and went upstairs first.

Inspector Liu said to Luo Lie: "Mr. Luo, I was originally not good at opening my mouth, but Mr. Consul only gave me three days, three days, where should I go to find someone? ”

Luo Lie said: "Kidnapping is usually purposeful, didn't they contact the Zhang family? As long as they make a request, they can find clues along the way." “

Inspector Liu smiled bitterly: "What clues are there, since Zhang Lingfeng was kidnapped, no kidnappers have taken the initiative to contact me at all, I'm afraid that people are not for money." ”

Luo Lie said: "It's not for money, but for what?"

Inspector Liu said, "Mr. Luo doesn't read the newspaper?"

Luo Lie has always paid attention to the daily news, of course he knows the recent scandal that has caused a sensation in Huangpu, and he also understands what Inspector Liu means, either for money or revenge, Zhang Lingfeng had an affair with Lu Rulan, and Lu Rulan has always been regarded as a forbidden person by Zhao Huchen, this peachy news has made Zhao Huchen a joke in the whole Huangpu, who is Zhao Huchen? The leader of the Kaishan Gang, the leading real power figure in the public concession, how could he swallow this breath.

Luo Lie took a sip of coffee and said, "I also know this news, but I can't believe some gossip." ”

Inspector Liu said: "This matter involves a wide range of things, so I have to be cautious, but Mr. Consul gave me a death order, limiting me to solve the case within three days, I really have no way at all, if this Zhang Shaoshuai is in the French Concession, I still have the ability to find him, but if he is transferred, even if I have the ability to pass through the sky, it is impossible to solve the case within three days." ”

He said with a smile: "So the main purpose of my coming here today is to ask Mr. Luo for help......"

"What do you want Luo Lie to do for you?" After Ye Qinghong bathed and changed clothes, she came down from the upper floor, and her whole face was radiant and beautiful.

Inspector Liu said with a smile on his face: "Miss Ye is good, I mean ......" He was worried that Ye Qinghong was not so easy to speak, so he looked at Luo Lie, hoping that Luo Lie could speak for him.

Luo Lie said: "Inspector Liu said, you are my friend, as long as we can help you, we will definitely do our best." ”

Inspector Liu heard him say this, so he told Ye Qinghong again the purpose of coming, Ye Qinghong said: "That's it, this matter has a great impact, and I don't dare to guarantee that I will be able to help you do it, but I can go to the consul to explain the actual situation on your behalf, and I hope he can give him a few more days." ”

Inspector Liu smiled: "As long as Miss Ye is willing to speak, I think Mr. Consul will definitely give this face." He got up and picked up his hat and said, "I won't delay the two of you, the case is urgent, and I have to follow up." ”

Luo Lie said: "I'll send you." ”

Luo Lie sent Inspector Liu out, and Inspector Liu said: "Mr. Luo stays, I hope to help you with this matter." ”

Luo Lie smiled: "Don't worry, by the way, Inspector Liu, how is my friend An Zhai's case?"

Inspector Liu understood in his heart when he asked, in fact, An Zhai's case is not a big case, after the case, Inspector Liu specifically consulted Cheng Yufei, through Cheng Yufei's analysis, he also understood who the mastermind of this matter was, but Inspector Liu was very smart and took a flexible approach to this case, which was actually shelved. He sighed deliberately and said, "There is no clue where to start." ”
