"Colonel...what do you mean? Why is there another ghost after everything is fine?"
"Director Wang, are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be stupid with me? Don't forget, the news that made me suspicious of Jin Shenghuo was only spread after he left Qiuzhuang. Huangque's code name is only
People in Qiuzhuang knew that since those five people entered Qiuzhuang, they only had the opportunity to contact the outside world on the night when I hosted a banquet for their families. But just now, Bai Xiaoqiu had just touched his forefoot.
Commander Zhang came to me with great fanfare early in the morning to ask for the bodies of Jin Shenghuo and Bai Xiaonian. Isn’t it suspicious? His information was too well-informed, right? From then on, I
I’ve been thinking, who told the secret?”
While speaking, Ryukawa Hihara's eyes never left Wang Tianxiang for a moment, and his face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water. Wang Tianxiang was immediately frightened to the point where he didn't even dare to breathe, so he could only follow his words.
She stopped and muttered in a low voice, "Yes, how could he know?"
However, Longchuan Feiyuan still said nothing and looked at him directly. Now Wang Tianxiang was completely panicked and asked tremblingly: "Sir...sir, sir, should you...should you?"
Are you doubting me? How could I possibly do that? Commander Zhang, he certainly doesn't dare to do anything to you, but it would be too easy to kill me. I want to hide this matter more than anyone else!
Maybe...maybe it's Section Chief Ming?"
"Chief Ming?"
"Yes, you see him disappearing all day long, and the dragon never seeing its end. Who knows if he secretly informed Commander Zhang while you were not paying attention?"
"That's it..." Ryukawa Hihara nodded and said, "Then I can tell you clearly that among all the people, anyone can tip off Commander Zhang, but only that Section Chief Ming can't, because the whole night
, he dissected the corpses of those people with me."
"Anatomy...?" Although Wang Tianxiang usually prides himself on being ruthless and ruthless, after hearing what Ryukawa Hihara said, he still had an instinctive physiological reaction and started retching.
Long Chuan Fei Principle patted him on the shoulder and continued: "Although such an incident made me very angry, it also reminded me that someone dared to leak information to the outside world under my nose, and let me
What’s more interesting is what that person did, what method did he use to do it?”
"Eating, food, garbage, and waste are all inspected by dedicated personnel, and then collected and sent to the back mountain for destruction. How did it get spread?"
"There must be something we have overlooked. From today on, all items transported out of Qiuzhuang are prohibited, including garbage, as well as the bodies of Bai Xiaonian and Jin Shenghuo."
"Yes! Let's do the humble job now!"
However, before Wang Tianxiang could get up, Longchuan Feiyuan put a hand on his shoulder and said in a warning tone: "Director Wang, this piece of paper cannot cover the fire after all. Your confidant is now
I think you should know better than me where the person is. Don’t think that without the telegram record, I can’t find out who sent the telegram. If there is another time, I will let you talk to Jin Shenghuo, Bai Xiaonian and the others.
Lying together, did I speak clearly enough?"
"Clear...clear! Clear...Colonel, your humble position can teach you a lesson from the sun and the moon, the center of the Japanese Imperial Army! Your humble position..."
"Okay, Director Wang, if you want to show your loyalty, words alone are not enough."
"Then... Colonel, what do you mean..."
"Just before you came here, I had already formulated a plan with Section Chief Ming. Since you are so eager to express your loyalty to the Empire of Japan to me, it is up to you to implement it."
With that said, Ryukawa Feihara waved to Wang Tianxiang to come closer, and then lowered his voice and whispered to him...
At the same time, in a cafe on Qinghefang Street.
As soon as Gu Minzhang, who was wearing casual clothes, stepped onto the second floor terrace of the coffee shop, Pan Hanqing's voice rang out, "Mr. Gu!"
Gu Minzhang first carefully observed the surroundings, then slowly walked to Pan Hanqing and sat down, and then asked straight to the point: "Mr. Pan suddenly invited me to meet here, what's the matter?"
"It's windy here and you can have an unobstructed view of all the scenery. Isn't it a perfect place to have a conversation?"
However, Gu Minzhang smiled after hearing this, "Having said that, Mr. Pan, don't forget that everything has two sides. As you said, this is indeed a good place for conversation, but it is also an excellent choice for setting up an ambush and assassination.
"
"Mr. Gu, are you afraid that I will be harmful to you?"
"No, I'm afraid that you will be used by others to make wedding dresses for others."
"Then Mr. Gu, you can rest assured. I can assure you that it is absolutely safe here."
"Of course I believe Qingdeng's guarantee, so let's get down to business and talk about business!" Gu Minzhang said while picking up the coffee in front of him.
"Jin Shenghuo is dead." After saying this, Pan Hanqing paused for a moment, and then continued to ask, "Is it related to Mr. Gu?"
"Why do you say that?" Gu Minzhang was stunned for a moment, then put down the cup in his hand and asked.
"Because no matter how well-informed you are, King Ship Gu, you will not be able to receive the news from Qiuzhuang in time. But when I told you this news, there was no movement in the coffee in your cup."
"Really?" Gu Minzhang chuckled and said slowly, "Chengji at the west intersection of Zuofang Street, two pieces of moldy tofu every day, am I right?"
Seeing that Pan Hanqing didn't speak, Gu Minzhang continued: "Mr. Pan told me this news. I don't think he wants to find out whether I killed the person, but he wants to know whether I have the ability to cooperate with your next actions, right?
So may I ask, did I pass your inspection?"
"Mr. Gu, please forgive me. I just monitored a call from Qiuzhuang this morning. They called the hospital and hoped that the hospital would transport enough formalin to soak four corpses. In other words, as of now, Qiuzhuang has
At least four people have died inside."
"No, not four, but five. According to the information I have, Bai Xiaonian's uncle was brought into Qiuzhuang by Wang Tianxiang's people three days ago, and earlier, Qian Huyi's second
My wife was also arrested by the police on the charge of killing her husband, and she should have entered Qiuzhuang as well."
"Well, I've heard about this too, but Mr. Gu, even so, including Jin Shenghuo and Bai Xiaonian, there are only four people. Why are you so sure that five people have died?"
Gu Minzhang didn't want to answer immediately, but deliberately lowered his voice and said to him: "This is not the place to talk, let's find another place!"
After saying that, Gu Minzhang took Pan Hanqing by car all the way to a villa manor built on the hillside less than 200 meters away from Qiuzhuang.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Gu also has an industry in a place like this!" Pan Hanqing stood on the second floor balcony of the villa, looking down at Qiuzhuang in the distance and said.
"Although it goes against the original intention of purchasing this property, it will help us with our next actions, won't it?"
"Mr. Gu, you are so humble. Not only is it helpful, it is even more powerful! Oh, by the way, you haven't told me yet, why do you say five people have died inside?"
Gu Minzhang smiled and said, "It's very simple, because just last night, a person successfully left Qiuzhuang."
"who is it?"
"One of Wang Tianxiang's confidants. Although he was born with a rough mind, there are some rough things but some are fine. Originally, Wang Tianxiang asked him to sneak out of Qiuzhuang to report the news to Commander Zhang, but he ran to Qiuzhuang as soon as possible after leaving Qiuzhuang.
I was seeking asylum. And from his mouth, I learned that Shen Lanqing, who was known as the leading figure in Shanghai literary circles, was also sent to Qiuzhuang by Wang Tianxiang, and it was precisely because of his death that he severely stimulated Wang Tianxiang, so
That's why he was sent to sneak out of Qiuzhuang to report the news."
"That's it." Pan Hanqing nodded suddenly after hearing this.
"Well, Mr. Pan, it's about my daughter's life and safety. Please tell me the truth. Is your next plan going to be a violent rescue?"
"In Shanghai and Hangzhou, you can hire many professional killers. In addition to being good at killing, they are also good at rescuing. As long as you... can afford to pay enough."
"It's too small to use an egg against a stone."
"Mr. Gu, don't forget, I was Xu Enzeng's most effective agent."
"I have no doubt about Mr. Pan's ability, but don't forget that our relatives are all in the hands of Longchuan Feiyuan. No matter how solid the plan is, it is nothing compared to a plan that scares the odds! Your plan is too risky.
"
"But Mr. Gu, as you just said, Longchuan Feiyuan has obviously fallen into madness, otherwise Wang Tianxiang would not be stimulated to be like this. I am afraid that the longer time passes, the more his killing tendencies will become
Seriously, if it gets to the point where it gets out of hand, I'm afraid he will go on a killing spree. If that happens..."
"Well, your worries are not unreasonable." Gu Minzhang said in agreement, "It is said that when the owner of Qiu Manor built Qiu Manor, he almost built the manor into a fortress without a military flag in order to prevent attacks.
From the strategic layout point of view, Qiuzhuang is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it is almost an impossible task to carry out the rescue quietly."
"Even the most strongly defended fortress will always have blind spots in its defense!"
However, Gu Minzhang just smiled and then led him to the study.
In the study, Miss Zhao was busy in front of a huge easel.
"How's it going, Miss Zhao, your work should be almost completed, right?"
"That's almost it, sir."
"Okay, then please show it to Mr. Pan."
"Okay, sir." After saying that, Miss Zhao obediently stepped back and moved Pan Hanqing to the easel.
It was a good thing that Pan Hanqing didn't look at it. When he saw the rigorously structured and richly detailed pictures above, he couldn't help but be surprised, "This is... the internal architectural structure diagram of Qiuzhuang? I didn't expect that Mr. Gu would have already
Having made preparations in this regard, it was really... it was really an eye-opener for Pan!"
"Mr. Pan is overrated. I just have a capable assistant. This Miss Zhao is a German architect and Mr. Ludwig's protégé. And like you, she has a photographic memory."
Hearing this, Pan Hanqing nodded suddenly, but then he frowned and asked: "I see, but... Ah, Mr. Gu, I don't mean to offend you, but you didn't seem to have entered the east building that night.
ah!"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Minzhang spoke, and Miss Zhao jumped in front of him and took the initiative to explain: "To be honest, my husband did not attend the dinner that night, but I went to the dinner on his behalf. That day
In the evening, I walked into Qiuzhuang and soon discovered one of its obvious features, which is the absolute symmetry in the architectural structure. There are not many architectural structures like this in the world, so even if I have never been to the East Building
, I can also draw the structure of the east building through the internal structure of the west building and a little processing based on the principle of mirroring. For me, this is not difficult."
"So that's it. Pan admires her so much, so I dare to ask Miss Zhao, under this kind of building structure, if I were Longchuan Feiyuan, I would put all five of them in the east building and put them in the second floor
The first layer of protection is set up at the entrance of the stairs, and the second layer of protection is set up at the door of the east building, which is here. Finally, on the roof of the third floor, I will set up three to five snipers, and then..."
Having said this, Pan Hanqing stopped talking.
It was only then that Gu Minzhang slowly said: "Did you find it? Mr. Pan, your analysis just now was very accurate. If I were Longchuan Feiyuan, I would arrange it this way. And an unexpected incident last night also indirectly proved that
informed our judgment.”
"What unexpected incident?"
"At around eight o'clock last night, intensive gunshots suddenly came from the direction of Qiuzhuang. Not long after, Wu Zhiguo, covered in blood, ran out of the east building and plunged into the west building. Obviously,
He managed to break through the two lines of defense inside the east building and at the door one after another before barely running out. But strangely, the sniper on the roof did not fire a shot. After he entered the west building, he immediately
Nearly a small group of Japanese soldiers appeared out of nowhere and surrounded all the entrances and exits of Qiuzhuang, including the west building. It was obviously a trap set by Ryukawa Hihara. This was just the surface.
Visible military strength, I would like to ask Mr. Pan, even if I am willing to pay to hire a killer, how many people do we need to hire to ensure that under this level of guard, Longchuan Feihara will not jump over the wall and carry out the rescue?
Woolen cloth?"
Before he finished speaking, Pan Hanqing said firmly: "No, there is a chance. However, before that, there is one more thing I must confirm. I hope Mr. Gu can help me."
