Opposite the cafe was a hardware grocery store. The man in the gray cloth jacket thought the car owner was in the grocery store, so he walked to the side of the cab of the car, squatted down and looked at the door of the grocery store, and used a screwdriver in his hand to pry the door open.
Hattori Mina followed Jiang Xinyu's gaze and looked over. She was very puzzled at first and said to herself: "Is he helping to clean the car?...Hey, Xinyu, he seems to be stealing the car!"
Jiang Xinyu had already walked out of the cafe and stood at the door and shouted: "Hey!"
Even a thief felt guilty. His hands in the short gray cloth coat trembled, and he quickly put away the screwdriver, stood up, turned around and kicked Jiang Xinyu, with an intimidating and threatening look in his eyes. He obviously did not recognize that the person calling him was the car owner.
Jiang Xinyu looked around and saw that there were two or three suspicious-looking people wandering around. He walked slowly over, looked at the short gray cloth jacket up and down, and said, "Qing Gang? Hongmen? Ax Gang?"
"It's none of your business, you know, don't meddle in other people's business!" The gray cloth short coat flashed the screwdriver in his pocket.
Jiang Xinyu pointed at the car and said with a smile, "This is my car."
The expression on the gray cloth short coat suddenly changed, and he turned around and left without saying a word.
Jiang Xinyu didn't stop him, because the other party didn't know him, and he obviously wasn't here for people, but for cars. If he dares to steal Japanese cars these days, even if he is a thief, he is still a thief.
However, Jiang Xinyu soon realized that he was wrong. This group of people did not look like ordinary gang members. The gray cloth short coat left first. The nearby people did not disperse in a hurry, but took turns to cover, and Lu continued to leave the scene.
Hattori Mina came out of the coffee, looked at the back of the gray cloth jacket, and said: "Are all thieves so fierce nowadays? It's like they want to rob openly."
"It's too cold outside, come in."
"You are the police, why don't you arrest him?"
"Nine out of ten people like this are members of the Youth Gang. If I arrest him today, if Yuan Wenkui posts a message tomorrow, the police station will have to release him."
"That's right..." Hattori Mina thought of her experience and said with lingering fear: "I really don't know why I condone these bad people!"
Jiang Xinyu didn't answer her, why could he indulge the bad guys? Naturally, it was to use them to suppress the people, so the invaders would allow the evil forces to grow bigger and bigger.
Hattori Mina is in a very comfortable mood. In a warm and comfortable environment, drinking fragrant hot coffee, with her beloved by her side, what a wonderful moment this is!
Because the Japanese and puppet authorities were very strict in censoring news, in order to survive, Yanjin Times, Yanjin Business Daily, Jinshi Newspaper, East Asia Monthly, etc. all made compromises, and current affairs commentary basically tilted towards the Japanese and puppet sides.
News has lost its independence and authenticity, and has become a mouthpiece for brainwashing. Sales have also plummeted. The Yanjin Times, which used to sell thousands of copies every day, can now only rely on personal advertising space to survive.
The fourth page of the newspaper actually had an entire page full of advertisements. Jiang Xinyu glanced at it, and a "Friend Search Notice" caught his attention.
——Looking for my close friend Ruo Bing. After seeing the notice, I must meet him at Jifangyuan Teahouse on Sunday noon. The signature is: Qingxia.
There are at least a dozen of this kind of missing person notices in newspapers. The contents are similar and there is nothing special. The only thing that reminds Jiang Xinyu is the name!
Lao Qiu, Qingxia, Lao Qing, Autumn vs. Summer!
Even if it was just a coincidence, Jiang Xinyu decided to give it a try when the time came. He also wrote down several other joint methods that were suspected to be left by Lao Qiu, and planned to try them one by one.
…………
Sunday, Jifangyuan Teahouse.
Jiang Xinyu has been to several places in the past two days, but has returned without success. He doesn't have high hopes today. After all, there are at least ten or twenty women named Qingxia in Yanjin. It is reasonable for people to advertise for friends.
among.
I walked into the teahouse, ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks, took out the copy of Yanjin Times, opened it to the personal ads section, spread it out on the table and browsed aimlessly.
Ten minutes later, footsteps were heard on the stairs, and someone slowly walked up to the teahouse. Jiang Xinyu did not look back. He still maintained his original sitting position, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
The man walked past Jiang Xinyu, paused, and said, "Hello, Officer Jiang.
"
"Forensic Doctor Xu, it's such a coincidence that we meet here." Jiang Xinyu looked up and saw that Doctor Xu was standing in front of him.
The clerk came over to say hello and said, "Mr. Xu, are you still doing the same thing?"
Forensic Doctor Xu smiled and said: "Yes, the same old thing... Hey, Dachunzi, bring tea to this table, I met an acquaintance."
"Okay, just wait a moment, we'll be here soon." The clerk Da Chunzi agreed to prepare Xu Forensic Doctor's "old tricks".
Jiang Xinyu said: "It seems that you are a regular customer."
Forensic Doctor Xu pulled up his chair and sat down, saying, "Yes, I often come here to drink tea. The jasmine tea from Jifangyuan is delicious and not expensive. It is most suitable for people like me."
Jiang Xinyu nodded and said, "I'm just passing by. I'll sit there for a while and then leave."
Forensic Doctor Xu glanced at the newspaper on the table, smiled and said, "Officer Jiang, the newspaper was from a few days ago."
"I bought a newspaper and forgot to read it. I kept throwing it in my car. I remembered it today and picked it up to kill time."
Forensic Doctor Xu looked around and said: "I have been suffering from insomnia recently. I heard that grinding seven qian of Bai Ziren, three qian of Polygala and six qian of Albizia Julibrissin into powder and decocting it once every morning and evening can cure insomnia. Officer Jiang
, have you ever heard of such a folk remedy?”
Jiang Xinyu was surprised and happy. He said calmly: "Where did you get this prescription?"
"My father has used this prescription before, but he told me that the medication varies from person to person, so I should consult a doctor."
The two people asked and answered each other, which was actually the secret code for Jiang Xinyu and Sun Shiming to contact each other!
Forensic Doctor Xu whispered: "Hello, Comrade Scabbard, I am Lao Qiu!"
Jiang Xinyu calmed down his inner excitement and said, "I can't believe it's you, Lao Qiu..."
No wonder the meeting place between Sun Shiming and Lao Qiu was on Qiaoxi Road, because the nearby Wufuli was the police station dormitory area, and Lao Qiu naturally lived there.
"Mr. Xu, your refreshments are here!" The waiter was carrying a tray with a pot of strong tea, a plate of melon seeds and a plate of dried dates.
Forensic Doctor Xu poured the dried dates into the teapot and said to Jiang Xinyu: "After drinking a pot of tea, eat the soaked dried dates to nourish the blood, nourish the stomach and strengthen the spleen!"
When the man walked away, Jiang Xinyu said: "So, you already knew that Chen Dasheng was killed, right?"
Forensic Doctor Xu sighed sadly and said: "Yes, there was no news about him suddenly. I guessed that something happened to him, but I didn't expect that he died at home. Alas..."
Jiang Xinyu said: "It can be basically concluded that because Lao Chen wanted to investigate Chang Hongling, the military commander killed someone and silenced him. I just don't understand. How did the military commander know that Lao Chen wanted to investigate Chang Hongling?"
