After Lin Jiale and He Chao left, Deng Long carefully put away the terrifying photo, Li Kangkai lit a cigarette, and the two fell into silence.
"Deng Long, there are still three days after tonight. In three days, if this ghost mother A Fang is not caught, Zhonghetang will bloodbath the hospital. The situation is already very critical." Li Kangkai spit out a mouthful of blue smoke,
took a long sigh
"Don't your detective team and patrol room protect those in the hospital? I don't believe that Zhonghetang can cover the sky with one hand." Deng Long slammed the desk hard and stood up, very angry
"Yes! In Shanghai, Zhonghetang does not say that it covers the sky with one hand, but it is okay to cover half of the sky. The British and French concessions they rely on behind them, we Chinese can't control them at all. Do you know how many corpses there are in the Huangpu River every day? The dead corpses are
The gangs fought to death. Can we control them? We can't control them. If Zhonghetang really wants to be ruthless, even the father of the country can't control them." Li Kangkai took a long puff of cigarette and said loudly when he was on the beach.
The situation is really chaotic. Although it belongs to the National Government in name, this place is basically ruled by foreigners. Those gang bosses are not relying on foreigners to show off their power.
Deng Long frowned. What Li Kangkai said was that the current situation in Shanghai is so dark. The people are struggling to survive at the bottom of society. Shanghai is not only the most prosperous place in China, but also the biggest shame in China. The National Government has no regard for foreigners at all.
It is a complete compromise. The whole of Shanghai is controlled by foreigners. The most helpless thing is that some Chinese people do not want to make progress and rely on foreigners. Instead, they bully their compatriots. This is really chilling.
"Bang!" Deng Long slammed it on the desk, his whole body shaking with anger.
After a long while, Deng Long closed his eyes and took a long breath, "Brother Li, it's very late. Go to bed early! Don't think about those disturbing things."
"Well, we are still busy tomorrow. All in all, we will try our best! As long as we have a clear conscience!" Li Kangkai picked up the hat on the table, turned around and sighed.
After Li Kangkai left, Deng Long lay in bed unable to fall asleep for a long time. He was just a little detective at the bottom of society. No matter how hard he tried, he probably wouldn't have much effect on the current situation. Even the founding father, President Sun, was ignored by the warlords in Guangzhou.
, what can I do? Li Kangkai is right! Just have a clear conscience!
Thinking of this, Deng Long felt relieved, fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep...
"Ding..." Deng Long sat up from the bed, turned off the alarm clock, and a new day came again.
I just got up and had breakfast. When I returned to the detective station, He Chao was already waiting at the door. Deng Long smiled and said, "Xiao He, so early?"
"Well, Mr. Lin is urging me to go to my hometown in eastern Zhejiang immediately to check A Fang's information. Hey! Grandpa doesn't know what happened. He is just a servant and he didn't hesitate to quarrel with Mr. Lin." He Chao sighed and said
"What, Mr. He and Mr. Lin had a quarrel!" Deng Long asked in surprise.
"Yes, Mr. Lin was in a very bad mood after he went back last night. He got angry at A Fang and told her to go back to her hometown in eastern Zhejiang and get out of Shanghai." He Chao frowned and said
"If I hadn't grabbed Mr. Lin in time, he would have pointed at A Fang's nose and revealed A Fang's identity as a ghost mother," He Chao said nervously.
"Yes! If it comes out now, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous. He Chao, you did the right thing." Deng Long is most worried about this matter. If the ghost mother's identity is exposed, she might jump over the wall, and the Lin family will be in danger.
Lin Jiale must have been very frightened, so he lost his cool and almost made a mistake.
"Hey! When my grandpa heard Mr. Lin scolding A Fang, he immediately became furious. His face was very unhappy. I could see that grandpa was really angry. If it weren't for Mr. Lin being the master of the Lin Mansion, I'm afraid he would have taken action on the spot.
, I really don’t understand what this Afang has to do with the Lin family, why does grandpa defend her so much!" He Chao said helplessly, spreading his hands.
"He Chao, when you come here, do you want us to go to eastern Zhejiang to find out the details about A Fang?" Deng Long calmed down the atmosphere and said to He Chao with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Lin asked me to invite you to go to eastern Zhejiang. After all, you are a detective and have more experience in investigating A Fang's background," He Chao said
"I'm happy to help!" Deng Long waved his hand, "Then I'll set off immediately!" He Chao put on his sunglasses, regained his cold and solemn expression, opened the car door and walked in
Deng Long got into the big black RV and drove out of the city quickly toward eastern Zhejiang.
After leaving the city of Shanghai, the road toward eastern Zhejiang became increasingly difficult. When we entered the area of eastern Zhejiang, it was already a gravel road, and the car was bumping on it. Fortunately, Lin Jiale's car was modified by a foreigner.
Yes, the damping system is very good. Although the road is bumpy, there is not much reaction in the car.
He Chao introduced that this gravel road was specially built by the Lin family at a huge expense. Otherwise, there would be no way to go. They passed many steep and sharp turns along the way. If He Chao's driving skills were not very outstanding, I am afraid that the two of them would have lost their way.
The person had already fallen off the cliff. Even so, both of them were still covered in cold sweat.
After a few hours of bumpy driving, the car finally drove into a huge town. This town was very prosperous. The streets were crowded with people going to the market. He Chao frowned and kept honking his horn.
Everyone in the town shunned, and everyone in the town knew that this was the car of Lin Jiale, the patriarch of the Lin family. Lin Jiale only returns to his hometown in eastern Zhejiang once a year during the Qingming Festival. I wonder why he came back this time?
The car crossed the street and came to the entrance of a large ancestral hall. This large ancestral hall was extremely grand and made entirely of fine marble. It looked very smooth and majestic. Behind the large ancestral hall was a large building with mahogany and blue tiles. He Chao turned the car
Stopping at the entrance of the ancestral hall, he led Deng Long towards the largest building behind the ancestral hall. It was the home of Mr. Lin, the most prestigious uncle of the Lin family besides the patriarch.
When we arrived at Mr. Lin’s house, the old man’s house was so grand. The furniture was all made of fine mahogany and there was a big red carpet on the floor. Mr. Lin had a purple gold pipe in his mouth and a small purple clay teapot in his right hand. He was listening.
Gramophone, moving my head back and forth, squinting my eyes, so uncomfortable
"Mr. Lin!" He Chao bowed respectfully to say hello to Mr. Lin. In fact, Mr. Lin was not old, probably in his fifties. When he saw He Chao! Mr. Lin narrowed his eyes and said in surprise.
"Is it Xiao He? Jiale is back?" After saying that, he looked at Deng Long with his little eyes.
"Mr. Lin didn't come back. He asked me to check the information on the clan and want to know something about the situation," He Chao said calmly.
"Who is this?" Mr. Lin glanced at Deng Long and asked, "Oh, this is Detective Deng Long, Mr. Lin's friend." He Chao quickly explained
"If Jiale wants to see the clan's information, I will hand it over myself. But the problem is that you are not from the Lin clan, so I'm afraid I can't make the decision!" Mr. Lin narrowed his eyes, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, and he hesitated.
said
"Third Master, we are indeed told by Mr. Lin personally. This is a little greeting gift from Mr. Lin to you. Mr. Lin also said that he misses you and the fellow villagers very much, and specially prepared something for you." He Chao took it from his pocket.
A very huge lacquered gold red envelope was given to Mr. Lin instead.
The look on Mr. Lin's face suddenly lit up, and his whole person seemed to brighten up. He stroked his long hair on the back of his head, took the big gold red envelope, squeezed it with his hand and burst into laughter: "Jia Le is down.
To repay benevolence and righteousness, the support given to him by several clan uncles in the past will not be in vain."
Deng Long sneered from the bottom of his heart. This Third Master Lin was really an old fox. Fortunately, Lin Jiale had prepared a gift for He Chao in advance. Otherwise, the two of them might not have been able to get along just because of Lin Jiale, the patriarch of the clan who lived far away in Shanghai.
This old fox is at this level
After Mr. Lin collected the red envelope, he smiled and said to Deng Long and He Chao: "Since the patriarch has given orders, you two please come with me!" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the inner room.
