At this time, the Third Branch was already on the verge of firing, so it had to find an excuse to apologize and forcefully sent Du Juan back to the main bureau. However, an accident occurred on the way and Du Juan was kidnapped.
Chief Shao, and the two seemingly stupid but possibly sinister police officers, could they be a criminal gang taking orders from someone?
Is the whistleblower the mastermind behind this?
Are the car robbers a group of them, or another group of people?
Lu Ming scribbled these on the paper, trying to find the key points in these links.
Currently, there is no trace of the Japanese in this route map, but the appearance of Ama Kawashima Yoshiko a few days ago made him have to think about it.
After Du Juan was kidnapped, Guo Songtao was also restless.
Originally, he might not pay attention to the situation of a grassroots party member like Du Juan, but Du Juan's identity is different. She is Lu Ming's lover.
Anyway, even if Lu Ming jumped into the Yellow River, it was not clear. Everyone recognized that the two were lovers, but the lovers rarely met each other, and basically did not date in private. It did not look like a normal lover's relationship.
When Du Juan applied to join the party, Guo Songtao investigated her according to organizational procedures. Apart from her life in the factory, Du Juan participated in trade union activities and had almost no space for private life.
Du Juan has been renting in the home of a mother and her son. Except for Lu Ming's occasional visits, she has never brought anyone back to her residence.
Despite this, many comrades still disagreed with Du Juan's application, thinking that she might be a spy of the Fuxing Society. At that time, Lu Ming was still holding a high position in the Fuxing Society and could be said to be the number one enemy of the underground party.
Because of this, Du Juan's application was referred to the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Underground Party for special study.
Guo Songtao and others believed that the people in the Fuxing Society were not so stupid. Even if they wanted to send people to infiltrate the underground party, they would not do it so blatantly. What's more, senior officials like Lu Ming would never let their lovers take the risk of infiltrating the party.
Underground party organization.
Based on everyone's opinions, Guo Songtao proposed to increase Du Juan's inspection period by one year out of caution. During the inspection period, she would be tested in all aspects.
In the end, Du Juan successfully passed all the inspection procedures and secretly joined the Communist Party a year later.
However, Du Juan was suddenly arrested and then hijacked by unknown gangsters, which caused countless question marks in Guo Songtao's mind.
Is this a trick played by the Kuomintang authorities? Why did Du Juan become their target?
Guo Songtao knew that Du Juan did not hold any secrets of the underground party. She only had one upper line, which was her introducer to join the party. She also had no development down line. She did not hold any position in the party and was just an ordinary party member.
Ordinarily, the Kuomintang authorities would not be interested in a little person like her. Even if her identity was exposed, they would not arrest her. They should use her as a bait and deliberately leave her out.
It seems unreasonable that the police station suddenly arrested an ordinary party member when the underground party in Shanghai did not take any action, but it has happened and must be faced.
No matter what, Du Juan is his comrade. Now that she is in trouble, she should find a way to rescue her.
After research, Guo Songtao and several leading comrades decided that the underground party's rescue activities for Du Juan would be officially launched.
The rescue mission was issued, but it had no goal. The two policemen who initially captured Du Juan are now being held in a cell at the police headquarters.
The robbers who kidnapped Du Juan never showed up again, and we have no idea where they hid Du Juan.
The streets and alleys of Shanghai were covered with missing person notices for Du Juan. This was a clue. They sent people to check these missing person notices, hoping that someone would leave a few words on these papers.
This kind of thing has happened before. Some witnesses were unwilling to report the crime publicly for fear of being involved in a lawsuit, but they wrote down what they saw, or what they suspected of seeing, on the missing person notice.
The underground party is investigating here, and Lu Ming is also investigating.
A few days have passed, but no new clues have been found in the Dujuan kidnapping case, and several clues that were originally searched have been interrupted.
It is said that this is a normal phenomenon. Investigating a case is a difficult process. Fighting wits and courage with the perpetrator requires an objective and calm mentality. Irritability and anxiety are the biggest enemies of the investigation.
But Lu Ming had lost his patience. He couldn't calm himself down, let alone look at the case objectively.
Every minute and every second before the case came to light was a kind of torture for him. He always thought about where Du Juan was and who was cruelly tortured by him. Ning Xiner's experience made him dare not be optimistic anymore.
Lu Ming handed over all the work at hand to Huang Yanning. He couldn't calm down to deal with work matters at all. He would mess up even the simplest things.
A few of them had arranged to meet once a day to summarize all kinds of information. Lu Ming was waiting for this moment every day, but was afraid that he would not get any valuable information at this time.
Zhang Ziyang couldn't do anything to him, so he jokingly persuaded him to go to Lingyin Temple and ask the eminent monk to figure it out. According to him, there might really be something evil in Lu Ming, otherwise why would all these strange things happen to him?
Lu Ming was originally a non-superstitious person, but at this moment he was still in a state of confusion. He thought it would be a good idea to go to the eminent monks of Lingyin Temple to crack it. Even if it was useless, there would be no harm. Sitting in the office would still be suffering anyway.
Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang drove to Lingyin Temple, with An Gonggen and his people protecting them from behind. Liu Qiwen also followed them, saying they wanted to take a good look at the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.
A group of people came to Lingyin Temple and spent a thousand yuan to find a "senior monk".
This "eminent monk" brought some middle-aged and young monks to perform rituals on Lu Ming, then drew several talismans on him, and finally asked him to prostrate himself in front of the Buddha statue and repent.
This operation left Zhang Ziyang and others dumbfounded, wondering if they had come to the wrong place.
Lingyin Temple is the most popular place in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that the eminent monks here can make a difference between life and death, not to mention simple spells such as getting rid of bad luck and evil spirits. However, they really can't understand the operations of this eminent monk.
Isn't this the ancestral tradition of Longhu Mountain? When did you come to Lingyin Temple?
When did Buddhists start drawing talismans? Is this to steal Zhang Zhenren's business?
Several people also bought some illuminated Buddha statues and hung them on their bodies, saying they could ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.
In fact, they didn't really believe these claims. They just regarded it as a trip to Lingyin Temple to buy souvenirs. Since the things were not expensive, they regarded it as burning incense for the Buddha.
The stationmaster of Hangzhou Station somehow found out that Lu Ming came to Lingyin Temple to pray for Buddha, so he quickly brought a few cadres to greet Lu Ming, and then invited Lu Ming and others to have dinner in the building outside the building.
During the meal, the stationmaster of Hangzhou Station heard about Lu Ming's intention to come and enthusiastically recommended to him a local fortune teller. It is said that this person can decide life and death with a decisive word. Many big shots from Nanjing and Shanghai came to Hangzhou and wanted to find this fortune teller.
A divine fortune teller calculated a hexagram.
"It's here anyway, so let's count it as a hexagram." Zhang Ziyang said with a smile.
"It's so impressive, I almost want to make a fortune for myself." Liu Qiwen said with a smile.
"Sister, what do you want to count? Your marriage? I don't think it's necessary. Isn't the right man already destined to be the right one? My concubine's life is gone." Zhang Ziyang teased her.
Liu Qiwen glared at Zhang Ziyang, but she felt happy in her heart. If she could really become Lu Ming's concubine, she would really have nothing to ask for.
Although it doesn't sound good to be someone's concubine, it doesn't sound right to be someone's concubine. The young marshal also has Miss Zhao Si, so why can't Lu Ming have her?
Lu Ming was always looking sad. The West Lake Vinegar Fish lost its old taste when he ate it, and the water shield soup tasted like plain water, with a rusty taste.
Of course he knew that this was a problem with his sense of taste, rather than a mistake by the chef outside the building. That was impossible.
In the afternoon, the group visited the West Lake first, kicked on the kneeling statue of Qin Hui, and then visited the statue of Yue Wumu. By dinner time, the stationmaster of Hangzhou Station had invited the fortune teller to the Louwailou Hotel
.
"This is our Road Chief. He wants to tell fortunes. Chief Qiu, you have to do your best," said the head of Hangzhou Station.
"No matter what the chief says, the customers are the parents of the little ones. I will do my best to tell fortunes for anyone."
Lu Ming looked at this man. He looked like a man in his forties, wearing a Taoist robe, with sharp eyes. He looked like an immortal.
However, he heard from the head of the Hangzhou Station that this guy had never become a monk at all, and he was not a Taoist priest. He just wanted to think of himself as a Taoist priest. However, his divination skills were really incredible and had been verified many times.
No matter who it is, as long as you ask him to make a fortune, the fortune will be two thousand yuan, no counter-offer.
Ordinary people really can't afford such expensive hexagram money, so his customers are basically from Nanjing, Shanghai and local big shots.
"Excuse me, is it this officer who wants to tell fortunes?" Taoist Qiu looked at Lu Ming and asked.
"It's me, I'm done." Lu Ming cupped his hands and said.
