172. Heart-to-heart

Zhang Tongju, who is in charge of the public procuratorate and law in Tianjin, has a high position and great influence.

The assassination of such a person must be a big deal.

Chen Zhizhong thought about it again and again to make sure that there were no omissions, so he rested early as before.

But he lay in bed, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep.

That slap ruined his prestige, and Chen Zhizhong just wanted to wait for a result.

Counting the swinging sound of the clock, at 3 o'clock in the morning, a phone call came!

Chen Zhizhong suddenly got up: "This point is called, it seems that there is a lot of commotion."

Picking up the phone, it was the duty officer of the unit calling, and Chen Zhizhong was ready to hear any news.

But in the next second, his face changed, and he even exclaimed:

[The Izumo Concession was subjected to continuous shelling and suffered heavy casualties! ] Master Zhang unfortunately died!? 】

As soon as he heard the news, Chen Zhizhong thought that the "Killing Society" had launched an attack, and the turtle grandson surnamed Zhang was thundered.

But if you think about it, it's not right, how can it be so coincidental?

Moreover, the "Killing Society" mainly blows up bridges and railways in the occupied areas of the north, attacks settlements and so on, and is relatively peaceful in various treaty ports.

"What the hell is this girl doing?"

Chen Zhizhong hung up the phone and frowned.

At this time, his wife led some of her servants over with their clothes and waited for him to put them on.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go home in the past few days, you stare at An'er and Ping'er to complete your homework."

Chen Zhizhong left the house with a few words of advice, and hurried to the Yamen.

When I came to the place where Fan Shouyi exploded not long ago, the chief arrester of the 8 sub-bureaus, as well as the counselors and recorders of the general judgment yamen, and other large and small officials had gathered.

Everyone had different expressions on their faces, and several of Zhang Tong's cronies were like mourners.

But more people are not thinking it's a big deal to see the excitement, and they have exchanged their heads and ears:

"I heard that Lao Zhang was killed by a cannon while holding the Izumo girl~"

"It's really a ghost and a romance~"

"Alas, Lao Chen, your 1,000 taels of silver were delivered early."

Chen Zhizhong pretended to smile bitterly and said, "I knew that I would delay it all night......

At this time, seeing that everyone was together, a clerk sent a report about the attack.

Everyone took it and looked at it, and their faces suddenly changed:

"The Izumo Concession received three shells...... Ruined a brothel and hissed...... There is also Tsumon Shrine! and an armored convoy!"

"Civilian casualties have not yet been counted, and there will be no less than 500 ......"

Such heavy casualties in a country's concession must be enough news to sensational the whole world.

Everyone suddenly felt that Zhang Tong's death was nothing.

And Chen Zhizhong's mind is full of watts: so bold...... It can't really be done by Xiaocha, right?

Just when there was a lot of discussion, the second-in-command of the Yamen, Counselor Wang, shouted:

"Silence! The unfortunate death of Mr. Zhang this time is really suffocating......

The man wanted to pretend to be a little sad, but the smile on his face couldn't help it, so he forcibly tensed his expression and shouted:

"Gather your men at once, and the whole city will find the thief who fired the cannon before dawn!

The people took the order and left, talking as they went:

"The cannon will not have a range of more than 15 kilometers at most, that is, it will be fired in the city!"

"How bold! It won't take an hour to find out!"

Such a large-caliber cannon can be clearly heard within a radius of five kilometers once it is fired, and it is easy to find out.

When the time comes, the thieves will have to face the pursuit and interception of the masters of all parties!

……

A group of general arrests, the traffic chief hurriedly returned to his own place and summoned his subordinates to start work.

When Chen Zhizhong came to the Third Patrol Bureau, the staff on duty had already called everyone together, and Xiaocha also came.

"Now that you know everything, immediately search all over the jurisdiction to find out where the thieves fired."

"Obedience!"

A group of hunting leaders led their patrols and helpers rumbled out.

Chen Zhizhong and Xiaocha walked together, looking at each other's unusually calm expressions, and they already knew in their hearts.

"Did you really do it?"

"Hmm~"

「……」

Chen Zhizhong was speechless for a long time, and only when he came to a dark place without street lights did he say:

"I thought you would be a hero, and I would make a decision...... I can't help it."

Every time this girl is a big crime of raiding her family and exterminating her family, it is really difficult for ordinary people to resist.

Xiaocha said a little embarrassed, "Uncle Chen is worried."

Chen Zhizhong sighed: "It just so happened that the surname Zhang died, and there was a vacant seat in the yamen, and I was going to be an errand for a while. You take over my class and be the chief catcher."

There is a radish and a pit in the yamen, and there is really a lack of someone to give up a seat to be on top.

But Chen Zhizhong's move will inevitably reduce a lot of oil and water, and his status will also be greatly reduced.

Xiaocha hurriedly persuaded, "Uncle Chen, it's not easy for you to become the chief catcher......

"It's okay, that's fine." Chen Zhizhong said with a smile:

"My wife and children are involved, I don't dare to be promoted [for blood], and I can't be promoted, so it's better to be idle early and take care of the children."

Xiaocha knows that starting from washing the marrow, it is "playing with life" to be promoted.

For example, when he was happy before, he asked Lu Li to help look at his buttocks, and solved the problem easily.

But if you want to come by yourself, it is likely that one of you will accidentally practice and sit in a wheelchair for a year and a half.

The so-called courage and diligence, most people don't have this life, let alone the courage.

Xiaocha suddenly felt that it was good for Uncle Chen to go to an idle job, and if he had no contact in the future, he could also make his family a lot more stable.

The two walked for a while and came to the brightly lit road.

The patrol is knocking on the door from house to door to ask, tossing and turning for half a day to find nothing.

Chen Zhizhong said suddenly:

"There's another advantage for me to go to the yamen, it's well-informed over there, and you can know what is going on right away, just to help you keep an eye on the high-level and Izumo people."

Hearing this, Xiaocha was slightly stunned.

She thought that Chen Zhizhong would not have any more contact after he left, but now that is not the case.

Chen Zhizhong smiled and sighed: "I can't be a hero, but I still have the courage to run errands for heroes.

The three guns in the Izumo Concession are really relieving, and just before I left, I also destroyed the few yards surnamed Zhang that sold [Ice Soul San]."

As the so-called people take tea and cool, this revenge is justified.

The sky gradually brightened, and the Third Patrol Bureau found nothing.

The same is true of the other sub-bureaus, no matter which side of the east, west, north and south, there is no movement at all.

When the news came back, Counselor Wang immediately sat on the wax.

He still wants to take over as a general judge, this errand must be done!

So in the early morning, he personally led the team to expand the search area, but until the village more than 100 miles out of the city, no one heard the sound of cannons.

Counselor Wang's face was extremely bad: "This is far beyond the range of the cannon, even the Out-of-Body Realm cultivator can't let the cannonball fly so far...... Where the hell did the thief fire the cannon?"

Now let alone looking for someone, I can't even find the location of his eucalyptus, and the matter is completely deadlocked.

Chen Zhizhong nodded secretly: This hand is beautiful! Zhang Tong's death was suppressed by the events of the Izumo Concession, and the Izumo people could only come to the Governor's Yamen if they wanted to get angry.

Completely plucked it yourself, nothing ...... But then again, how did the sound of artillery cover up?
