Chapter IX Supporting Eyeliner

Cheng Shi naturally agreed to Lishan's invitation, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, please go first!"

"Yes!" Li Shan did not refuse, and took the lead to lead the two of them through the alley.

Cheng Shi had no choice now. He had to make friends with this kind of person. He came here alone to investigate the case today, so naturally he didn't want to take all the credit!

It's the person behind this case. His identity must be extraordinary, and there must be spies from the other party in the patrol room.

If the news that he had targeted the killer was revealed, Cheng Shi was afraid that the killer would be killed by the other party, so he went out alone to look for clues.

But after he waited for an hour at the gate of the public relations bureau, Cheng Shi also understood that it was up to him to look up the clues alone.

In three days, if he only relied on luck, he might not be able to find anything at all.

Just now, Cheng Shi saw the large number of people in Lishan's group, and his heart moved. He could think of a way to take advantage of them!

Moreover, if he wants to hang out in Shanghai for a long time, he will not have to deal with such people. This will also help him expand his network of contacts in Shanghai.

In this era, there are no cameras. If you want to quickly find clues to solve the case, you can only rely on people. It is necessary to cultivate your own informants!

Where a few people passed by, the surrounding houses were getting worse and worse, but the crowds were becoming more and more noisy. There were many food sellers in front, back and left.

When Cheng Shi came here, he always saw the prosperous areas of Shanghai, but he had not yet come to the place where ordinary people live.

Cheng Shi was looking around now, observing the lives of the people in the Republic of China. There were many stalls selling snacks on the road, and there were many customers.

The first thing I saw was what is called Chai'an Wonton. Some people were eating it with gusto, and some people had set up a small shed selling peanut nuts.

Then I saw my favorite tofu curd, as well as a relatively high-end snack at this time, the pork ribs rice cake!

One of the food stalls selling Camel Chaos had an advertisement for Shanghai Beach in the 8th year of the Republic of China on the wall behind it, with the word Rendan written on it. Cheng Shi guessed that it was a kind of medicine.

From these street snacks in Shanghai, Cheng Shi could tell that the lives of ordinary people in Shanghai during the Republic of China were still very rich, but their clothes were not rich.

Li Shan in front of Cheng Shi did not stop. Finally, he walked directly into a teahouse, and Cheng Shi followed suit.

Before entering, Cheng Shi saw the young man named Xiaomi out of the corner of his eye and gave a warning gesture to the food stall owner at the door!

Walking into this teahouse, it was also very lively. In the lobby on the first floor, there was a table set up facing the east, and a Chinese opera was being performed on it.

There were more than twenty tables around, but only a few tables were empty.

The middle of the second floor is empty, and you can also see the theater on the first floor from the second floor. There is a corridor around it, and along the corridor, there are boxes one after another.

As soon as the three of them entered the building, a waiter ran over to greet him and said, "Mr. Li, you are here. Please come inside!"

Soon the waiter led Cheng Shi and the others to an Eight Immortals table and placed three plates, namely fried melon seeds, steamed cakes and plums.

After asking several people about their needs, the waiter put a white cloth towel on his shoulders, shouted, and left.

After a while, a pot of good tea was served. Cheng Shi found that Xiaomi couldn't sit still at all. After sitting down, he kept looking around.

Lishan and Cheng Shi were drinking tea, both of them thinking about it, but in the end Lishan couldn't hold it back.

He was the first to ask: "This little brother, I wonder what you want to tell me?!"

Cheng Shi put on a calm look, sighed, and said with some embarrassment: "Hey, big brother, you have already caused a big trouble!"

Li Shan's expression tightened, then he relaxed quickly, and said with some confusion, "I don't know what the little brother said. Although I stopped Hartong's car, I didn't cause a big trouble!"

Xiaomi said from the side: "Yes, they were the ones who hit us first, and they couldn't possibly know us!"

After hearing this, Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Really, it must be that blocking the car was not your intention, you had no choice but to do so!

Mr. Li thought that you listened to the other party’s words and that you didn’t offend Director Hartung to death, so you thought it was no big deal?!”

Li Shan naturally understood, knowing that the other party might know something he didn't know, and asked tentatively: "Can you please give me some advice from Brother Cheng?!"

Cheng Shi continued: "The person who instigated you must also be a director of the public board of directors!"

When Li Shan looked at Cheng, he looked confident and understood that the other party already knew. He nodded and said: "Yes, I am very familiar with a Chinese manager in the public affairs office. He was the one who conveyed the other party's intention to me!"

Cheng Shi continued: "Mr. Li thought it was as simple as asking you to delay Hartung?!"

Li Shan said: "Of course I understand that if the other party asked me to delay Hartung, there will naturally be bigger things, but what does this have to do with us?!"

"That's true. I wonder if Mr. Li knows that a murder has occurred in the big world?!" Ling Chengshi continued.

Li Shan didn't understand why Cheng Shi suddenly changed the topic, but he still replied: "I know, this matter spread quickly, but does it have anything to do with our matter?!"

Cheng Shi put down the tea cup in his hand and continued: "Of course it is related! One of the deceased was the son of the director of the public board of directors.

And what you did today, based on my prediction, the public board of directors is brewing something big, and it's about to happen!

Moreover, the other directors must have known about the fact that you blocked Hartong today. Between them, I am afraid that you will inevitably suffer the consequences!"

When Xiaomi on the side heard this, he said anxiously: "In the worst case, we won't care about this!"

Cheng Shi sneered and said: "You don't care, Hartong also has to care. If you stop him today, he will soon find out that he has ulterior motives after he goes back.

You will naturally become the target of his investigation, and under the pressure of Hartung, you must listen to that director again.

The longer they fight, the more likely it is that you will become cannon fodder in the other side's struggle for power!"

Li Shan frowned when he heard this and said with some unconfidence: "We may not be investigated by him..."

A glimmer of light flashed across Cheng Shi's eyes, and an enigmatic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "How dare you guarantee that no one at the door of the Public Directorate knows any of you?!"

There was still a layer of doubt between Li Shan's brows. He couldn't guess what Cheng Shi was thinking right now, so he said, "I guess Brother Cheng is not just here to tell me that I'm going to be in trouble soon!"

Cheng Shi no longer pretended, but sat down towards Lishan and whispered.

"If you want to avoid being a fish in the pond, you have to let them get into trouble first and have no time to pay attention to you, a little fish..."
