Chen Baoxiang shuddered, and after thinking about it, he realized that "Bi Gong" was dead.
"My eldest brother Bi Gong died in Master Feng's yard. Coincidentally, he just told me that the gold was hidden in the west wing of Master Feng's old yard, and something like this happened..."
"How could this happen? He was fine when our family left."
"My brother died in the west wing of the old courtyard. The ground next to him was dug up. What killed him was a shovel, which directly chopped off the head. Boss Chen, you have been there all day today. What do you want?
Did you say that?"
This was like a bolt from the blue, and Chen Baoxiang was stunned.
He never expected that in this "Missing Slash", the first person to fall would be Bi Gong.
Bi Gong, Bi Jing is the planner. They are surrounded by elite soldiers and generals, commanding and dispatching, and taking full control. How could they die?
Chen Baoxiang stood there in a daze, being pushed and pushed, and then he came to the store and stood under the light.
"Tell me, who killed him?"
There was no anger or sadness on Bi Jing's face, only cold murderous intent.
He sat opposite Chen Baoxiang, staring at Chen Baoxiang's face without blinking.
Chen Baoxiang was out of breath, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous five-step weapon. He couldn't dodge or run away. He could only hold on and wait for the opponent's fatal blow.
"Uncle Bi came to the yard at ten o'clock in the evening, gave me the bounty from my Japanese friend, and praised me for a while. At that time, Master Feng was also there, and he went there after nine o'clock. Master Feng sent a truck to take our family of five back.
After drinking tea for a while. I swear, when the truck left the yard, Uncle Bi was fine, and the yard was full of his people..."
Everything Chen Baoxiang said is true and witnesses can be found.
If someone killed Bi Gong, it would have been after the truck left.
"Boss Chen, the doctor checked the body and found that he died between ten and eleven o'clock last night. Is it possible that he was attacked and died just after you and Mr. Feng left?"
Chen Baoxiang grimaced and shook his head repeatedly: "Master Feng and I got in the car and left together. Uncle Bi's men can testify."
Bi Jing couldn't ask anything, so he directly put seals on the front and back doors of the rice shop and took Chen Baoxiang to Master Feng's old yard.
Bi Gong's body was still lying in the west wing, covered with a white cloth.
Master Feng and more than a dozen of Bi Gong's subordinates were standing in the yard, each holding his hands and trembling.
Bi Jing has already asked all the confessions, and the time matches up. Master Feng and Chen Baoxiang did leave together in a truck, and there was no time to kill.
"I was sitting in the cab, right next to the driver. Boss Chen's family of five were in the car, and there was no one else in the car. When they arrived at the rice shop, Boss Chen and his family praised their Japanese friends for their honest work and how clean the shop was. I accepted it.
The eldest son of Boss Chen’s family was working as an apprentice. He was excited and chatted for a while. He was just about to go back to sleep when he was caught here.”
Mr. Feng has said this set of rhetoric more than a dozen times, and there is nothing questionable about the whole process.
At that moment, the only conclusion Bi Jing came to was - "Trucks were coming in and out frequently, and someone was keeping an eye on the yard. When Bi Gong was alone, he started killing people behind his back."
Bi Gong's death was only the first blow to Bi Jing. The disappearance of the gold buried in the west wing of the old courtyard was the second major blow.
He ordered people to dig open the west wing and dig out the two-foot-square and one-and-a-half-foot-high iron box below. It turned out to be empty.
Mr. Feng shouted, pushed away the guard, and rushed to the box.
"Impossible, the gold is in there, all in it, not a single piece is missing, it's all in it. Uncle Bi said that snipers were sent around to watch, eight groups, a total of thirty-two people. Let alone thieves, sparrows
Neither pigeons nor pigeons can come in, they are all under control. What is going on, Mr. Bi, this has nothing to do with me. I have sworn a long time ago that no matter how much gold Zhu Xiaotian wins, it all belongs to Mr. Bi. I am a gold
No beans left…”
Mr. Feng was extremely shocked. He turned the iron box over and knocked it a dozen times, but found nothing.
Chen Baoxiang couldn't imagine what happened in the yard after he and Mr. Feng left.
If there were snipers around, A Fei's entry into the hospital would definitely not be hidden from those people.
His heart just rose, and then fell, because Bi Jing said next: "Those people are all dead. The enemy acted very quickly. All thirty-two people had their throats cut with one knife. The killing method was very clever, just like a cook cutting a cow."
, a knife kills from the beginning to the end, the cutting position, the depth of the blade, and the length of the blade are exactly the same, even the Japanese forensic doctors were shocked."
Chen Baoxiang looked calm on the surface, but he was also shocked inside.
If it is an ordinary killer who kills three people in a row with a knife, the blade will become dull. He will either need to change the knife, or change the throat slitting to stabbing, or even use other weapons.
Only experienced butchers, who are extremely familiar with the structure of the human body, will only cut the meat without touching the bones, ensuring that the blade is always in a state of "no thickness and space".
He had seen a master in the slaughterhouse in Jinan City cut a cattle from head to tail with a small knife, and the bones and flesh were separated, but there was no sign of the knife curling.
At the moment, the attackers were killing Japanese soldiers armed with weapons, which was a hundred times harder than slaughtering a cow.
What's even more ingenious is that after killing thirty-two people, no one noticed, not even a single shooter.
Now that all the snipers are dead, no one knows about Ah Fei and Chen Baoxiang's meeting.
"It's wonderful. We met a real opponent this time. There is no such master in Jinan City, so we can only -"
Bi Jing stretched out his left hand, thought for a moment, moved his fingers one by one, and slowly read out four names: "Canghai, Tieshan, Yiyue, Qingtian."
Chen Baoxiang didn't agree in his heart, because as soon as You Canghai appeared, he was caught by Bi Gong and Bi Jing, and there was no chance to take action.
In his opinion, it is just a name in vain.
"Master Feng, I believe that you are a friend, not an enemy who tries to steal others. Then, you'd better remember this. I'll give you face and you don't need to ask the Luoyuan Mansion to intervene. Otherwise, Mingxinchi will be finished overnight.
.”
Mr. Feng bowed repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Bi, for knowing everything. I will always be a friend of the Japanese Imperial Army and wholeheartedly support the joint construction of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. This time, I have been taken care of by Mr. Bi, and I will be ruined and hurt in the future."
The knife and the spring repay each other."
Bi Jing waved his hands and circled around the boxes, muttering: "Li Qingtian, Li Qingtian..."
Chen Baoxiang stood aside, his head seemed empty.
He couldn't guess who killed Bi Gong and took away the gold, but he vaguely felt that this was a really big game.
The players are all very clever. One side makes the layout and the other side breaks the situation. You come and I go back and forth, it is difficult to distinguish.
On the surface, Wanhualou planned a decisive victory in Qianli and laid out a "three-pronged" strategy to bloom at three o'clock and defeat the Japanese invaders.
In fact, they had no chance to take action.
Bi Jing's empty city plan is full of traps and interlocking traps. As long as Wanhua Tower enters the game, it will be a dead end.
At the critical moment, some experts rushed to the Wanhua Tower to help, and they staged the scene of "stealing flowers under the leaves" before them. They killed Bi Gong and took the gold, leaving only an empty box here.
Ever since the arrest of You Canghai, Chen Baoxiang had always felt that the Eighth Front Army's "four killers" had a false reputation. They boasted that they were amazing, but in fact they were vulnerable to a single blow and were useless as soon as they arrived in Jinan.
He would rather come to be the master of the Sharpshooter Club or the master of the Confederate Army's assassination group.
Only this kind of people can slaughter the Japanese in Jinan and do a lot of inspiring and good deeds.
The boxes were still piled in the middle of the yard, with the "Unit 731" logo on them very eye-catching.
Chen Baoxiang became more and more numb. He felt that he had turned into an upright puppet, his whole body was stiff and motionless.
"Boss Chen, you are frightened, please go back."
Bi Jing smiled and waved, and someone pushed Chen Baoxiang out.
When we got to the street, it was getting slightly brighter, and a rooster from one of the houses crowed first, breaking the silence of thousands of families in Jinan City.
As soon as the cold wind blows, Chen Baoxiang's mind starts to move.
"It's possible that Master Feng stole such a large sum of gold. Bi Gong acted in a public way, and even before the banquet for the Japanese began, it was already known throughout the city. Master Feng concealed his cunning and made a secret plan to kill Bi Gong and steal the gold.
——Does he have such courage?"
In Chen Baoxiang's opinion, Mr. Feng is so unrighteous that he will do anything for gold.
Master Feng caught up from behind and ran away, panting.
"Chen...Boss Chen, wait, wait, let me take a step to talk!"
The two of them arrived at a nearby alley, where a steamed bun shop had just turned on the lights, and the first pot of steamed buns had not yet been steamed.
Master Feng took Chen Baoxiang's hand and sat down in the corner.
"There is something in Mr. Bi's words. He clearly doesn't believe me. Boss Chen, we were together last night and have never been apart, right?"
"Yes, we haven't left since we went back to Rice Shop from here."
"Oh, something evil happened this time. The gold, the box, and the shelter of your whole family... were all arranged by Uncle Bi. However, he lost his life. A basin of dirty water was all dumped on my head. You said it was unfair."
Not unjust?"
Chen Baoxiang couldn't answer the call. If he were Bi Jing, he would also suspect that Mr. Feng had done something.
Master Feng lowered his voice, bit Chen Baoxiang's ear and said: "Master Bi suspected that it was the work of the Eighth Front Army, and I think so too. This batch of gold belongs to others, and was thrown away in Jinan in vain. No one can swallow this sigh of relief. Since ancient times, wealth and silk have been important.
Human lives, Zhu Xiaotian is dead, Uncle Bi is dead, and the gold is gone. I am so fucking unlucky that I should not have been involved with Zhu Xiaotian and lost so many people... Do you know? Zhu Xiaotian borrowed troops, just to attack in the east and in the west.
As a result of his plan, all those people died——"
Master Feng slipped his words and stopped suddenly.
"Master Feng, if Mr. Bi doesn't pursue the case, this matter will be over, right?"
Mr. Feng was so anxious that he pulled his hair: "I can't read it, I can't read it! He just asked me to continue to investigate and see if any strangers among the guests in Mingxinchi talked about this matter. As long as there are clues, report to him immediately. He said
Now, You Canghai is locked up in the Luoyuan Mansion. There has been no movement from the Eighth Front Army, but news came from inside that Li Qingtian has been in Jinan for half a month."
Chen Baoxiang was not surprised. He had seen the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry. The Eighth Front Army had been active in Jinan City, so it was not a rare thing.
"Boss Chen, do you know? Senior officials of the General Staff of the Southern Army rated Li Qingtian as 'smart as a demon'. The Japanese military was also very afraid of Li Qingtian. Peiping once issued a wanted order for seven coastal provinces.
As long as Li Qingtian is captured, she will be immediately put on a ship and escorted to Tokyo. No one can talk to her, otherwise there will be big trouble."
The buns came out of the cage and were served steaming hot.
Chen Baoxiang stood there for half the night and was already hungry, so he picked up the steamed buns and ate them.
Mr. Feng sighed and didn't move his chopsticks.
"Boss Chen, I really envy you. You can eat and sleep, and you are not afraid of the sky falling. Compared with you, I am born to be worried and burdened."
Chen Baoxiang smiled bitterly: "No matter how many and difficult things are, we have to eat before we talk. People are iron and food is steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry. I am also worried that the neighbors know that I am a Japanese bitch. In the future, my children will
Getting a wife has become a hassle."
Mr. Feng slapped the table: "What the hell, what's wrong with the bitch? Jinan is in troubled times now. The Japanese give me money and food, so I'm happy to be a bitch. Chief Han boasts so much that when the Japanese come, they can run away."
Faster than anyone else. I want to be his lackey, but he deserves it too!"
