"Sir, what's the matter?" he asked, looking very excited.
"Our newspaper office has a reporter named Zhao Jinwen, right?" Li Xuehai asked gently.
"Yes, yes. He is always here, but today he is not here." He seemed a little regretful.
"What did you do?" Li Xuehai asked.
"Reporting on the National Day Convention! It's organized by the government!" At this time, his little eyes widened even more, staring at Li Xuehai, "Sir, I heard rumors that there seems to be something... it seems... there is something going on at the National Day Convention.
It’s something! But the place?”
"Yes! The Japanese bombed the venue, and I was investigating this matter!" Li Xuehai glared at him sharply.
"What do you mean? Does it have anything to do with us? Does it?" The editor suddenly panicked.
"Mr. Hu, when was the last time you saw Zhao Jinwen?"
"Yesterday afternoon, before get off work, I asked him to go home early to prepare for a report on the conference tomorrow."
"Never see you again?"
"Mohe. Speaking of which, he should be back at this time. What's the matter? It's hard for anything to happen to him!"
"Mr. Hu, do you know where he lives?"
"I know, I know, he lives in the alley behind, very close!" He thought for a while and then said: "Sir, if you want to go, I will lead the way. That's great."
23-19
The alley behind the newspaper office is undulating, narrow and winding, with dilapidated houses on both sides, mostly old thatched houses.
Editor Hu walked in front, looking back from time to time to glance at Li Xuehai and others behind him, even a little impatiently.
The house that Zhao Jinwen lives in is considered a good house in this area, it just has tiles.
When Editor Hu stepped forward and saw that the door was locked, he blinked in surprise and looked back at Li Xuehai.
Li Xuehai was not polite, he pried it open with a dagger. The scene in the room was basically the same as he had guessed!
Zhao Jinwen is dead! He was stabbed in the chest with a knife, curled up and fell to the ground. A large pool of blood on the ground had already solidified! This man who seemed to have been dead for many days showed no signs of life!
Li Xuehai searched Zhao Jinwen's body and found no ID as expected!
The person who planted the explosives in the venue stole his ID! But, it’s fucking weird! If Zhao Jinwen’s ID was stolen, it would be impossible to bring explosives into the venue! Who brought the explosives in!
While Li Xuehai was thinking about these questions, he walked around the room, looking around for clues!
But in such an old house, there are no traces at all! It’s like a killer came, killed someone with one knife, and then turned around and left without leaving any traces! This is even more strange! The murderer even locked the door!
Ten minutes later, the police from Xiaoshizi Police Station also arrived and began to search for clues everywhere in the house.
Only then did the nearby residents realize that something big had happened here! They gathered around and asked questions.
When the police officer leading the team heard that Li Xuehai said that he was from the Military Police of the Investigation Division, he was very polite and just asked him why he was looking for Zhao Jinwen! So, Li Xuehai briefly introduced to him what happened at the National Day Assembly! And the process of how he found this place.
!
The policeman leading the team had a weird look on his face. He kept shaking his head and whispered: "These Japanese are too abominable!"
Li Xuehai turned around and saw Editor Hu standing outside the door with a frightened face, and suddenly felt a little strange in his heart.
He walked up to Editor Hu and said softly: "Mr. Hu, I'm afraid you know something about this Zhao Jinwen, right?"
Editor Hu's little eyes were as big as a cow's egg at this moment, but they could still move quickly!
23-20
Li Xuehai took Editor Hu to Xiaoshizi Police Station, found an empty room, sat down, and stared at him.
"Mr. Hu, there are no outsiders here. If you know anything about this Zhao Jinwen, just tell me. I won't spread it!"
"This... this..." Editor Hu was quite hesitant, and his eyes were a little flustered.
"Mr. Hu, don't cause trouble for yourself! If you have anything to say, just say it!" Li Xuehai had already stared.
"Yes...that's it. A few days ago, there were always some random rumors outside, about the Chairman of the Generalissimo and so on, about Chu Dongping of the Military Commission and so on, and about the Sichuan Army and so on. Sir, I
You know, those are all... all nonsense! I... I definitely don't believe it! However, these articles are selling well, so I will relax a little and publish them when I can. Newspapers sell a lot.
I...we can make money!"
"Go on, make it clear!" Li Xuehai stared at him motionless.
"These articles were sent to me by someone. You know, we can't write them. Someone sent them to us!"
"who!"
"I don't know who he is! He is a young man, not that old. As soon as he comes, he comes to Zhao Jinwen and whispers with him. When that person leaves, Zhao Jinwen will give me a
Look at the manuscript. Sir, they are all articles of this type! I...I really have no other meaning, I just think these articles can increase sales!"
"go on!"
"Sir, I really don't know who this person is! But it's a coincidence. I...I live in Nanjimen, and one day when I was getting off work, when I was about to come in, I saw that young man coming in.
There is a door. I'm just guessing, he... he probably lives there, I... I really don't know!"
Li Xuehai stared at him and stood up slowly, "Mr. Hu, take me there now!"
23-21
At almost six o'clock that afternoon, Editor Hu finally led Li Xuehai and others to Nanji Gate.
When Li Xuehai arrived at Nanji Gate, he thought about the geographical location and surrounding environment on the map, and felt a little surprised.
To the west of Nanji Gate is the famous Eighteen Ladders. Go down from the Eighteen Ladders and cross Binjiang Road to Phoenix Terrace. Yang Qingshan’s Pier 4 is here! Go east from Nanji Gate and walk a short distance
, that is, the Military Commission!
The houses in this area are built on top of the mountains. When taking a boat to Chongqing, the first thing you see is a mountain of rubbish. It’s because of these dilapidated houses that are stacked on top of each other in a variety of ways.
Chongqing’s urban landscape has therefore become a mountain of garbage!
After exiting Nanji Gate and going up the mountain along the east side of Wengcheng from Xiubi Street, there are many chaotic small streets and alleys.
Editor Hu walked to Shuigou Alley and refused to go any further.
He pointed upward and said: "My house still has to walk a little further. That day, I just walked to the entrance of this alley and saw a young man. I wanted to see more, so I stopped here. Then what?
, I saw him enter the small house, which was a house with a crooked tree in front of the door. Sir, I don’t want to cause any trouble. Just go in and have a look. I... I want to go back.
It’s home!”
After that, Editor Hu quietly left and never dared to look back.
Li Xuehai walked quietly into Shuigou Alley. He walked to the crooked neck tree and noticed that there was a number on the door, which was No. 39, Shuigou Alley!
He walked out of the alley again, looked around, and negotiated with a couple at the alley to rent him a room for two yuan a day. The couple smiled from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly!
Yuan a day, good deal!
In this way, Li Xuehai established his surveillance point here!
The second thing he did was to find the phone number at the Xiubi Street post office and briefly introduce the entire situation to Jiang Yufeng.
Jiang Yufeng said on the phone: "Okay, I'll notify Xiao Qiao at the Yangtze Hotel!"
Li Xuehai smiled and said: "Sister, it's just you, is it okay?"
Jiang Yufeng shouted, "Brother, don't waste my time! I'm very fine! I'm going to die!"
23-22
In the evening of October 10th, Chen Zifeng and his brothers finished handling the matters on Ciqi Street and went directly to the Yangtze Hotel at the intersection!
Throughout the afternoon, the police station, the Civil Defense Commission, the Civil Affairs Bureau, as well as doctors and nurses from various hospitals, sent away the dead and injured in front of the hotel. The entire venue was also briefly cleaned.
The originally tall and wide rostrum was still tilted in front of the hotel, looking horrifying!
In the Yangtze Hotel, after a large number of injured officers were sent away, only the Chairman, the Military Command Department, the General Staff Headquarters and the officers from each theater were left.
In the afternoon, the chairman held a meeting in the lounge.
Although the meeting discussed the war situation in various theaters, everyone was a little shocked, as if they had not yet recovered from the big explosion in the morning!
Surprisingly, the Chairman was quite calm and calm, always looking at the senior officials reporting on the war situation with a smile.
The most horrified person was Director Lin Wei. He was directly responsible for the security of the conference! If such a big thing happened, he would bear the brunt of the responsibility! Several times he sought opportunities to review the situation with the Chairman, but he was rejected with a smile by the Chairman.
The Chairman said quite gently: "Wei Wen, you are busy with your business and I am busy with mine. Let's not disturb each other."
When Chen Zifeng arrived at the Yangtze Hotel, Qiao Yanfang ran over first and told him that Jiang Yufeng called and said that Li Xuehai had found clues at Nanji Gate and had set up a surveillance point. But I don't know what the final result will be!
Chen Zifeng thought for a while and said, "Take two brothers to see what's going on there!"
Qiao Yanfang left with her two brothers without saying a word.
At this time, a young officer ran over and said: "This is Captain Chen. Director Lin asked you to go to the small conference room upstairs. Go now. Director Lin said there is something important!"
23-23
Before Chen Zifeng went upstairs, he first saw Xiao Ancheng lying on the sofa. Leng Yue sat guarding him.
Xiao Ancheng also saw him, shook his hand at him, pointed to his ears, and shook his head again.
Leng Yue said: "He went to Qiujing Middle School at noon. The Japanese intercepted the phone number in the principal's office and took him into the woods outside! The Japanese placed explosives in the shabby thatched house and exploded behind him! He is now
Can't hear anything!"
Chen Zifeng frowned and gritted his teeth, but couldn't say anything! He could only wave to them and prepare to go upstairs!
Leng Yue held him silently, and after a moment of silence she said, "Zifeng, do you know who warned Liang Jinkai to pay attention to the Central Hospital? Or do you have any ideas?"
