When Jiangzhou Kazuo breathed his last breath, Geng Chaozhong just jumped off the train from Peking to Daocheng.
The moist sea breeze blew by, and a stream of slightly salty air rushed into his ears and nose. Geng Chaozhong's spirit was suddenly lifted. He tightened the top hat on his head and waved, and a rickshaw stopped at the entrance of the train station.
"Sir, do you want to take a ride?" the rickshaw driver asked diligently.
Geng Chaozhong snorted the word "Hmm" and pointed in the direction of Sifang Road. His words came out in authentic Jiaoao Mandarin: "Go to Sifang Road."
Geng Chaozhong, who was sitting on the rickshaw, had a smile on his face.
The first words out of the rickshaw driver's mouth in Peiping are: "Sir, where are you going?"
In Shanghai, it was: "Boss Ala, where are you going?"
Only the rickshaw drivers in the island city are special and often call themselves "Mr."
This is not surprising, the culture of Peking is more dog-legged, the culture of Shanghai is more commercial, and the culture of the island city is more neutral "Mr."
The rickshaw ran fast and steadily. In less than half an hour, it stopped at the familiar intersection of Sifang Road. Geng Chaozhong smiled and threw a piece of ocean to the rickshaw driver. He jumped out of the car amidst the surprised voice of the driver's gratitude.
Geng Chaozhong stood in the middle of the intersection. On the left was the former Xinshengtai Shoe Store and now the Xinsheng Bath Club. On the right, straight ahead, was the familiar Sifang Road Police Station. Geng Chaozhong hesitated for a moment and walked to the right.
After walking about three to five hundred meters, a low European-style building appeared in front of the Sifang Road Police Station.
Geng Chaozhong did not go in, but walked to a nearby public phone booth and started making calls.
"Hey, pick me up from the Daocheng Police Station... Yes, I'm looking for your Deputy Director Wu, yes, yes, yes, Wu Zecheng is not on Longkou Road now? Okay, I'll try calling Sifang Road, thank you!
"
Then, the phone rang in the Sifang Road police station opposite. Geng Chaozhong was on the phone while paying attention to the figures in the office on the second floor.
"Yes, I'm looking for you, Director Wu. I'm his old friend. Yes, yes, my surname is Bai. Just call me Boss Bai. Okay, okay, thank you."
There was a brief calm in the microphone. After a while, a slightly trembling voice appeared in the microphone: "Boss Bai?"
"Brother Wu, it's me, Bai Zhantang." Geng Chaozhong replied.
"As expected, it's Brother Bai!" A hearty laugh came from the microphone, "I heard that you went to Nanyang. When did you come back? Have a meal together when you have time?"
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. I think it's better to do it today!" Geng Chaozhong also smiled.
"Okay, how about the old place, Baihuaju and Haitang Pavilion?" Wu Zecheng said.
"No problem, see you later." Geng Chaozhong hung up the phone.
In a moment, a man in plain clothes walked out of the Sifang Road Police Station opposite. It was Wu Zecheng. Geng Chaozhong didn't say much and followed from a distance.
Wu Zecheng left the police station and walked leisurely. Soon he arrived at Baihuaju not far away. It was evening and Baihuaju was the hottest time. There was a lot of people outside the gate, and the sound of strings and bamboo orchestras could be heard inside.
Lively scene.
Watching Wu Zecheng walk into Baihuaju, Geng Chaozhong did not go in. After waiting outside the door for half an hour, he slowly walked in and went straight to the door of Haitang Pavilion on the second floor.
"Brother Wu?" Geng Chaozhong knocked on the door.
The door opened, and Wu Zecheng appeared in front of Geng Chaozhong with a smile on his face. The two shook hands first, then hugged tightly, and then walked inside holding hands.
"Brother Geng, are you familiar with this place?" Wu Zecheng pointed to the room.
"Familiar." Geng Chaozhong looked around and couldn't help but smile.
Right here in Haitang Pavilion, I personally killed Zhang Haogu and Liu Yiban, and then blew them into pieces. Unexpectedly, they were now restored to their original state.
"You don't know, after this place was bombed, the boss invited monks and Taoists to perform rituals for three weeks before reopening. In addition, three people died. It was very unlucky. As a result, Baihuaju was always open. The year before last,
Things have improved a lot since I changed my boss. Brother Geng, you are guilty!" Wu Zecheng said with a smile.
"Haha, the judge is the one who decides the case. You are just a loser. You can't convict me." Geng Chaozhong also laughed.
The two looked at each other and smiled before sitting down separately.
"Come, drink this beer brewed by the Germans," Wu Zecheng poured a glass for Geng Chaozhong and then said, "You have been missing for more than three years. What evil spirit brought you back?"
"I don't want to hide anything from you. I have something to ask for." Geng Chaozhong picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Oh? Let me guess?" Wu Zecheng blinked.
"Okay!" Geng Chaozhong suddenly became interested.
"There is a problem with your identity. Someone is investigating you?" Wu Zecheng glanced at Geng Chaozhong.
"Smart! You can guess this. It seems that you have worked hard in the past few years." Geng Chaozhong's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zecheng actually revealed his purpose of coming. Judging from this meaning, he might already know something.
"In this one-third of an acre of land in this island city, I, Wu Zecheng, still have some weight," Wu Zecheng smiled proudly, "Don't worry, I have already taken care of the person investigating you."
"Oh? So fast? Kill them all?!" Geng Chaozhong stared, feeling both happy and scared.
I'm happy that nothing big happened, but I'm afraid that Wu Zecheng is ruthless and will kill Yun Wei as well?!
"Well, that's not the case, but if you come a little later, I might actually take action!" Wu Zecheng said with a smile.
"Well, that's good. What exactly happened?" Geng Chaozhong felt relieved.
"Actually, it was a coincidence. I overheard in the bureau that someone was asking for information about you and bought internal documents about you from the Archives Department. I paid attention at that time and quickly investigated, only to find out that there was someone there.
Two businessmen claiming to be from Peiping have been checking you here for a while. Then I took some time off and brought a group of brothers to arrest these two people! Now they are locked up in a secluded place.
I’m really worried and don’t know how to deal with it!”
"Don't deal with it yet," Geng Chaozhong quickly waved his hand, "find an excuse and let them go."
"Let go?" Wu Zecheng was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and said with a smile: "You kid, are you up to something again?"
Geng Chaozhong smiled and did not answer.
Yun Wei was the insider he arranged among the Japanese. If Jiangzhou Kazuo didn't find out anything, it would be better to silence him rashly, otherwise all his hard work would be in vain.
"Forget it, I won't ask," Wu Zecheng shook his hand, "But these two guys kept telling lies, saying that you have a cousin in Hebei named Geng Chaohui who came to the island city to recognize relatives. When I heard it, something didn't feel right, so I quickly
If you are locked up and how to deal with it specifically, you can tell me the regulations and I will give you the instructions right away."
"Where is he being held?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
"There is a small prison near the east beach. I usually do some private work. No one knows about it except a few of my brothers. Don't worry." Wu Zecheng said.
"Yeah." Geng Chaozhong nodded. Wu Zecheng is quite cautious and reliable in handling things, so there shouldn't be any big problem.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door. Then, there was a knock on the door. Wu Zecheng opened the door. A capable man with an anxious look on his face lay down in Wu Zecheng's ear and said a few words. Wu Zecheng
His expression suddenly changed. After giving a few simple instructions, he quickly walked back to Geng Chaozhong and whispered:
"Brother Geng, I'm sorry, something happened to those two people!"
