Zhang Tongpan was in charge of the Tianjin Public Security Bureau and had a high position and great influence.
The assassination of such a person must be a huge event.
Chen Zhizhong calculated it over and over again to make sure there was nothing omitted, and then rested early as usual.
But he was tossing and turning in bed and couldn't sleep.
That slap in the face destroyed his prestige, and Chen Zhizhong just wanted to wait for the result.
Silently counting the sound of the clock, at 3 o'clock in the morning, a phone call came!
Chen Zhizhong stood up suddenly: "Come here at this time, it seems there will be a lot of noise."
When he picked up the phone, it was the person on duty from the unit calling. Chen Zhizhong was ready to hear any news.
But the next second, his expression still changed, and he even exclaimed:
[The Izumo Concession was bombarded continuously, causing heavy casualties! Mr. Zhang was unfortunately killed!?]
Upon hearing the news, Chen Zhizhong thought that the "Slaying Society" had launched an attack, and his grandson named Zhang was struck by lightning.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s wrong. How could it be such a coincidence?
Moreover, the "Slaying Society" mainly blew up bridges and railways in the occupied northern areas, attacked settlements, etc., and was relatively peaceful at various trading ports.
"What on earth did this girl do?"
Chen Zhizhong hung up the phone and frowned.
At this time, his wife led several servants over with clothes and helped him put them on.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go home these days. You keep an eye on An'er while Ping'er completes her homework."
Chen Zhizhong left the house after giving a few instructions and hurried to the Tongpan Yamen.
When we arrived at the place where Fan Shou had an explosion not long ago, eight chief arrests from the branch, as well as counselors from the general magistrate's office, recorders and other officials had gathered.
There were different expressions on everyone's faces, and several of Zhang Tongpan's close associates felt like they were mourning for their heirs.
But more people were just watching the fun and didn't mind it, and whispered to each other:
"I heard that Lao Zhang was killed by a cannon while holding Izumo, a girl~"
"It's so cool to be a ghost~"
"Oh, Lao Chen, you gave away your 1,000 taels of silver too early."
Chen Zhizhong said with a fake smile: "I knew it would take me one night..."
At this time, seeing everyone gathered, a clerk issued a report about the attack.
When everyone took it over and took a look, their expressions suddenly changed:
"The Izumo Concession was hit by three artillery shells... a brothel was destroyed, hiss... and the Tsumon Shrine! And an armored convoy!"
"The civilian casualties have not yet been counted, and they will not be less than 500..."
Such heavy casualties in a country's concession must be news that can shock the whole world.
Everyone suddenly felt that Zhang Tongpuan's death was nothing.
And Chen Zhizhong's mind was filled with thoughts: Such audacity...could it really be Xiaocha's doing?
While there was a lot of discussion, Counselor Wang, the second-in-command of the Tongpan Yamen, shouted:
"Silence! Mr. Zhang was unfortunately killed this time, which is really sad..."
This man wanted to pretend to be a little sad, but he couldn't hold back the smile on his face, so he forced his expression to tighten and shouted:
"You must summon your men immediately and search the whole city to find the culprit who fired the cannon before dawn!
"
Everyone followed the order and left, talking as they walked:
"The cannon's range cannot exceed 15 kilometers at most, which means it's a cannon fired in urban areas!"
"How bold! I can find it in less than an hour!"
Once a gun of such a large caliber is fired, it can be clearly heard within a radius of five kilometers and can be detected without any effort.
At that time, the thief will have to face masters from all sides to chase and intercept him!
…
A group of chief arresters and traffic commanders quickly returned to their fields and summoned their men to start work.
When Chen Zhizhong arrived at the Third Patrol Bureau, the staff on duty had already called everyone, and Xiaocha also came.
"You all know what happened. Immediately go to search everywhere in the jurisdiction to find the location where the thieves fired."
"I humbly obey my orders!"
A group of police chiefs led their men on patrol, and the gang was dispatched with a rumble.
Chen Zhizhong and Xiaocha walked together, looking at each other's unusually calm expression, he already knew what was going on.
"Did you really do it?"
"Hmm~"
"..."
Chen Zhizhong was speechless for a long time. When he came to a dark place without street lights, he said:
"I originally thought that you would be a hero and I would provide support...but I just can't handle it."
Every time this girl commits a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, it is really difficult for ordinary people to bear it.
Xiaocha said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Chen is worried."
Chen Zhizhong sighed: "It just so happened that the man named Zhang died, and a seat became available in the Tongjian Yamen. I will work as a casualty for a while. You can take over my team and be the chief arrester."
There is a carrot and a hole in the yamen, and there is a real need for someone to give up their seat to take over.
However, Chen Zhizhong's move will inevitably result in a lot less oil and water, and his status will also be greatly reduced.
Xiaocha quickly advised: "Uncle Chen, it took a lot of effort for you to become the chief arrester..."
"It's okay, this is good." Chen Zhizhong said with a smile:
"With my wife and children involved, I don't dare to be promoted, and I can't be promoted. It's better to take some time off as soon as possible and take care of the children."
Xiao Cha knew that starting from the marrow cleansing, promotion would be "risking one's life".
For example, when Huanhao was having sex before, he asked Lu Li to look at his buttocks and solved the problem easily and happily.
But if you do it by yourself, you may accidentally get sidetracked and end up sitting in a wheelchair for a year and a half.
The so-called courageous and diligent progress, most people do not have the fate, let alone the courage.
Xiaocha suddenly felt that it would be good for Uncle Chen to take a part-time job, and since he would no longer have any contact with him, it would also make his family more stable.
The two walked for a while and came to the brightly lit road.
The patrolmen were knocking on doors and asking questions, but after a long time they found nothing.
Chen Zhizhong suddenly said:
"There is another advantage to me going to the judge's office. They are well-informed there and will know immediately if there is any trouble. I can help you keep an eye on the higher-ups and the Izumo people."
Hearing this, Xiaocha was slightly startled.
She thought that there would be no more contact with Chen Zhizhong after he left, but now it turns out that is not the case.
Chen Zhizhong smiled and said with emotion: "I can't be a hero, but I still have the courage to run errands and report messages to heroes.
These three shots in the Izumo Concession really relieved my anger. Just before I left, I also eliminated those places selling [Bingposan] named Zhang."
As the saying goes, revenge is a matter of course.
The sky gradually became brighter, and the Third Patrol Bureau found nothing.
The same was true for other branches. No matter which side they were in, east, west, north or south, there was no movement at all.
When the news came back, Counselor Wang sat down immediately.
He also wants to take over as general judge. This job must be done well!
So in the early morning, he personally led the team to expand the search area, but no one heard the sound of cannons even in villages more than a hundred miles away from the city.
Counselor Wang's expression was extremely grim: "This is far beyond the range of the cannon. Even monks in the Out-of-body Realm can't make the cannonball fly so far... Where did the thief fire the cannon?"
Not to mention finding the person now, we can't even find the place where he committed the crime. The matter is completely deadlocked.
Chen Zhizhong nodded secretly: This is a good move! The death of Zhang Tongfan was suppressed by the Izumo Concession, and if the Izumo people wanted to get angry, they could only go to the Governor's Yamen.
I removed it completely and nothing happened... But then again, how did you cover up the sound of the cannon?
