Just after Dr. Nahuo was forcibly taken away by Daisuke Misukawa, the entire private room fell into an eerie silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Junbao finally broke the silence, "Mr. Ming, I think you should explain?"
"Explain what?"
"For example, why did the Japanese suddenly show up and take Dr. Huo away by force?"
"Didn't Section Chief Shichuan make it very clear just now?"
"No, that guy only said why they wanted to arrest him, and what I care more about than that is why they suddenly appeared here."
"I don't know about this. Is it possible that they have been eyeing him for a long time and are just waiting for the right time to take action?"
"You're right, there is indeed such a possibility. However, in my opinion, there is another possibility, that is, someone let out the news in advance, and then the guy caught wind of it and rushed over in a hurry. Rather than arresting people, it was better to
It’s protection in disguise, what do you think?”
"Professor Chen doesn't think I'm the one who spread the news, right?"
Chen Junbao snorted and replied angrily: "Why, aren't you worthy of suspicion? Do you dare to say that you don't know the guy who was leading the charge just now?"
"Professor Chen, there has to be a 'motive' in everything. If I was going all out just to cover up the real culprit, then I could have chosen not to take a trip into this muddy water from the beginning and simply ignore the matter.
Isn’t it enough not to ask? Why do we have to do it like this?”
"Mr. Ming, you are right. Everything must have a 'motive'. If you turn a blind eye to Brother Xu's death and do nothing, how can you gain our trust? If you can't gain it,
Trust, how can you get close to those ancient books? So, your 'motive' is the ancient books that Brother Xu keeps, right or wrong?"
Not to mention, it was really hard for Li Qiang to answer this question, because Chen Junbao was right, he really came here for those ancient books.
But even so, Li Qiang still replied calmly: "Professor Chen, I don't deny the 'motive' you mentioned, but..."
"Stop it! Just admit it!" With that, Chen Junbao took out the key to the secret room and threw it back to Li Qiang, "You'd better take this key back! As for those ancient books, I won't bother you.
Worry!"
After saying that, Chen Junbao stood up angrily and walked away without looking back.
"Professor Chen! Professor Chen! Chen..."
"Okay, Haitang, stop shouting. Professor Chen has made up his mind, and you can't get him back." After saying that, Li Qiang turned to Mrs. Xu with an apologetic look, "I'm really sorry, Mrs. Xu, yes
I didn't think well enough to make things happen like this."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu shook her head and said firmly: "Mr. Ming doesn't have to be like this, and please don't blame Lao Chen. Since the incident in Dishan, the burden of protecting ancient books has fallen on his shoulders alone."
, it can be said that in his opinion, the safety of those ancient books is even more important than his own life, so..."
"I understand, but time waits for no one!"
"Why did Mr. Ming say this?"
"As Professor Chen said, the Japanese have been coveting these ancient books for a long time, but because of the British's face, they can only secretly adopt some shameful methods. Although these methods are vicious, they may be preventable as long as they are cautious, but if there is
One day, this place becomes the territory of the Japanese, and the consequences will be disastrous."
"It's extremely ridiculous!" As soon as Li Qiang said this, he didn't expect Chen Junbao to leave and come back, so he simply pushed the door open and said angrily.
Li Qiang couldn't help being stunned when he saw this, and then asked curiously: "Why did Professor Chen leave and come back?"
"Compared with this, please tell me first, why do you think Japan plans to go to war with Britain and will win the final victory?"
"Since the 27th year of the Republic of China, when the Japanese army captured Guangzhou, they began to blockade Hong Kong. The following year, they captured Hainan Island and cut off Hong Kong's connections with overseas. Another year later, the Japanese army captured the territory bordering Hong Kong.
Shenzhen, and then completed a complete blockade of Hong Kong. All ships entering and leaving must undergo strict inspections by the Japanese before being released. Although faced with the crisis, the British have begun to gradually strengthen Hong Kong's defense. But it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
After all, this place is too far away from the British mainland. Even if we include the Asan gang in India, their combat power is probably equivalent to that of the Beiyang Navy back then. How can we compete with the Japanese Navy?"
"Alarmist! If the Japanese wanted to fight, they would have fought long ago. Why wait until now?"
Not thinking about Li Qiang, he did not respond directly, but asked a seemingly unrelated question, "Professor Chen, I believe that not long ago, Sir Taylor, who has always been active in the financial world and is known as the 'Stock God', bought all the stocks he held in one breath.
You must have heard the news that all stocks were sold off, causing an earthquake in the stock market, right?"
"Of course I know about such a big thing. What do you want to say?"
However, Li Qiang continued to mind his own business and said: "Last week, Mr. Chen, who was hired as a professor of Sinology by Oxford University and awarded the title of researcher of the Royal Society, originally planned to fly to Chongqing with his family, but when he arrived at the airport, a senior official of the Chiang Kai-shek...
His relatives violently kicked him off the plane. He was so angry that he was immediately admitted to the hospital..."
"Hmph! When I mention this, I get very angry. Those bureaucrats in Chongqing are really too much!"
Li Qiang still did not answer his words, but handed the bunch of keys to Chen Junbao again, "Professor Chen, I think you should know now why this bunch of keys is in my hand, right?"
"No matter what you say, I will not hand over the ancient books to you, even if the Japanese come!" At this point, Chen Junbao paused, and then continued, "Okay, that's it.
So far. Now please answer me truthfully, how did you guess the cause of Brother Xu's death?"
The quarrel lasted for a long time, and it was because of this that Chen Junbao left and returned. Therefore, although Li Qiang was very depressed because he did not gain his trust, he still patiently told the truth.
"It's a coincidence that just before I came here, I met someone."
"who?"
"The younger brother of Luo Baolong, the leader of Tianhe Sheng, is Luo Baohu. Mrs. Xu, if I remember correctly, he was the one who brought people to make trouble in the library, right?"
"Yes, it's him!"
"So I took good care of him in my own way, and then learned that not long before Mr. Xu's accident, his eldest brother Luo Baolong had sent his confidants to buy a special poison on the black market, which was said to be able to kill people invisible, so I
Naturally, I thought of Mr. Xu's death, so I called Mrs. Xu in advance and asked her to bring the bag of Rendan."
"That's it. No wonder the Japanese got wind of it. It must be the good thing that Luo Baohu did!"
"Impossible! Just to prevent the news from leaking, I didn't let him go. He should still be locked in the warehouse at this moment."
"Then you'd better go back and take a closer look. Maybe they've already run away!"
Hearing this, Li Qiang could no longer sit still. He stood up and left without saying anything, and immediately returned to the dock warehouse.
"Sister Qinghe, brother-in-law! Why are you back so soon? Have you finished everything?"
As soon as they saw the two people coming back, Bai Yue'e, who had been left behind, immediately came up to them and greeted them with a smile, completely unaware of Li Qiang's ugly face, which was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
"Where are the people?"
"inside."
However, before he finished speaking, Li Qiang kicked the door lock open and walked in impatiently.
At this time, in the warehouse, Luo Baohu was still firmly tied to the chair, and he was sitting on it struggling. He was obviously frightened by the sound that Li Qiang made when he kicked the door.
Since the person is still there, it means it was not him who leaked the news, but if it wasn't him, then who could it be?
Thinking of this, Li Qiang turned to Bai Yue'e and asked: "Yue'e, has anyone left during the time we were out?"
"This...I didn't pay attention!"
Before he finished speaking, Abao's voice rang out, "There is one."
"who?"
"Aren. He said he wasn't feeling well, so I asked him to go back first."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang and Haitang glanced at each other subconsciously, and then reached an agreement. It must be this Aren who tipped off the news to the Japanese.
Abao was indeed Bai Yanchang's most capable subordinate. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong, so he quietly pulled Li Qiang aside and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Ming, look at your appearance, are you the one?"
What’s wrong with Ren?”
Li Qiang asked back: "According to your observation, does that guy do anything unusual in his daily life?"
"No, speaking of it, that Aren has been with Uncle Bai for some years. In terms of seniority, he is second only to me and Afa. If even he has problems, I'm afraid..."
"Although this is just my personal inference, it is always right to be cautious."
"Well, that's right. It seems that it's time for some rectification within the police station. By the way, Mr. Ming, what do you plan to do with the guy in the warehouse?"
"We'll lock him up for a few more days, but after the beating, Yue'e's anger has come out, so don't make it too difficult for him. I believe it won't be long before his brother, who is the boss, will come to Uncle Bai in person to plead for mercy.
.By then..."
"Gao! Mr. Ming is Mr. Ming. His methods are really impressive. I admire you!"
"Then I'll leave this to you. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
"Okay, walk slowly!"
Although it is not completely certain yet, it has to be said that the appearance of A Ren did give Li Qiang, who was still confused about the matter, a little clue.
However, when the two of them returned to the Royal Hotel, they unexpectedly saw the familiar and annoying smiling face of Daisuke Misukawa in the hotel lobby.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Ming is still a very busy man. It's really easy for me to wait!" Before Li Qiang could speak, Daifu Shichuan stepped forward and said.
"It's a sin, I have no virtue or ability. How dare you trouble Section Chief Shichuan to wait here in person? I wonder if Section Chief Shichuan has any advice?"
However, Misukawa Daisuke did not immediately explain his purpose. Instead, he looked around cautiously before continuing: "There are many people here, so let's talk somewhere else!"
"No problem!" With that said, Li Qiang motioned to Haitang to go back to the room first, and then took Daisuke Misukawa to the hotel cafe and found a quiet private room to sit down.
"Chief Shichuan, there are only two of us here now. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it." As soon as he sat down, Li Qiang went straight to the topic.
Daisuke Misukawa also asked straight to the point: "Mr. Ming, are you familiar with the former administrator of Feng Pingshan Library?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang couldn't help but be stunned, "The former administrator of Feng Pingshan Library? Who is it?"
"That's Xu Dishan, who suddenly died suddenly a few days ago! Doesn't Mr. Ming know that he is the former administrator of Feng Pingshan Library?"
"Don't tell me, I really don't know."
"Since we are not familiar with each other, why are you helping his family investigate the cause of Xu Dishan's death?" Daisuke Shichuan asked again.
Li Qiang shrugged, "I can't help it. Although I am not familiar with them, Professor Chen Junbao, Mr. Xu's good friend during his lifetime, had some friendship with my father-in-law, so he asked me to briefly understand the situation, but I didn't expect that.
My husband’s death turned out to have a hidden secret, and it also involved tear gas that was strictly controlled by the Japanese army, so I asked Xu’s family to cooperate and arrange the previous meeting.”
"I see, that's what I said!" Daisuke Shichuan nodded suddenly after hearing this, and then took out something and handed it to Li Qiang.
"This is……"
"Dr. Huo's confession, according to his confession, admitted that he had purchased a bottle of modified Adam's medicine on the black market and secretly added it to the medicine given to Xu Dishan."
"Is it really him!?" After Li Qiang took the confession and read it carefully, he couldn't help but said with a puzzled face, "But it stands to reason that he and Mr. Xu are not only old friends for many years, but also fellow townsmen, but
Why would he still kill him?"
"Mr. Ming, I won't hide it from you now. According to my guess, the person behind this matter is probably the same group of people who want to do harm to you, which is the Black Dragon Society!"
"Black Dragon Society?"
"Yes, as far as I know, the reason why the Black Dragon Society is targeting Xu Dishan is because of a rumor."
"What rumors?" As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang hurriedly asked knowingly.
"It is said that although Xu Dishan appears to be just an ordinary librarian, he secretly keeps a large number of precious ancient books, almost every one of which is priceless. This attracted the attention of the Black Dragon Society."
"Just because of an unconfirmed rumor...this Black Dragon Society is too..."
Hearing this, Daisuke Shikawa couldn't help but chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Ming can say this, it shows that you still don't know much about the Black Dragon Society. It is their usual style to make false claims and make rumors out of thin air. We have already seen this.
