It was still dark, and the Huangpu River was completely dark.
However, Kawakami's destination was very bright. There were many big lights on Shiliupu Pier. The large and small ships docked along the pier were also lit with lights of various colors, just like the stars in the sky.
A cabin had just docked, and the passengers were rushing onto the illuminated pier like a tide.
Kawakami's motorboat roared gently, and finally stopped in a relatively dark corner of Shiliupu Pier.
This is a cargo terminal, and there is almost no one at night. Kawakami and two of his men disembarked here.
It was particularly painful for Kawakami to watch his two men tying the ship's cables. The only ones he could use now were these two!
He had three other people, all of whom were seriously injured, and were being cared for on the "Chu Yun".
That bastard Takahashi wants me to cooperate with him! Why should I cooperate? You bastard!
A few minutes later, Kawakami and his two men, 20 meters apart, left the pier and walked onto the outer road.
It's a bit early now, and the early tram hasn't left yet. Taking a rickshaw is no different than walking.
So, he can only walk now. He has a lot of walking to do today.
What he is a little hesitant about now is the order in which to do today's tasks.
The first thing, of course, was to go to Yali Bar. He was sure that Qiu Jin would not still be in Yali Bar, but he still wanted to go.
He always wanted to go there to see it, not to mention it was on the way. There was nothing to hesitate about.
He was a little hesitant about the last two things.
Should he go to the Nanshi Police Station first? He has an informant there. It was this informant who passed on the situation of Eagle Division to him.
Perhaps, this informant knew something about Akitsu. This was his consideration.
But, damn it, Japan and China are at war now! It’s hard to say what the informant looked at him! He might be a bastard too! However, if you want to find out about Akitsu’s situation, you can only ask
This policeman!
After thinking about this clearly, he decided to go to the policeman first, and then go to see Boss Zhang. He might not be able to explain it to Boss Zhang if the time is short!
The teacher and Commander Hasegawa both said that the relocation of the factory was very important! Well, I understand now that it is indeed more important! Then it is important! I hope Boss Zhang can really find a way to trouble it!
Finally, he saw Yali Bar from a distance. The neon light on the lintel of Yali Bar was not on, and the lights in the windows were not on either. Therefore, he judged that Qiu Jin was definitely not inside!
He walked around to the back door of the bar. Although the back door was closed, it opened as soon as he pushed it. He walked slowly into the door, listening to the movement in the darkness. Soon, he passed through the even darker kitchen and arrived at the shop.
The light from the window shone into the shop, and the surrounding area was in a mess, just like the scene when he and the teacher left. It could be seen that no one had come to clean it in the past few days.
He twisted his fingers in the dark and made a soft sound. But there was still no movement at all. Finally, he went around Akitsu's small office, but there was no one there either. In this way, there was nothing he could do.
He left the bar, looked back at his men who were following him, and then continued walking forward.
At the intersection of Longtan Road, he first turned south and onto Minguo Road. After that, he turned west to Fangbang Road.
It was a long way. As he walked in a hurry, the sky gradually grew brighter and there were more pedestrians on the road.
Walking westward along Fangbang Road, when approaching Sipailou Road, this section of the road curves slightly to the north. If he still walks along Fangbang Road and then goes up Guangqi Road, it will be a little detoured.
In front is the Sijiao Vegetable Market. If he passes through the vegetable market, he can go directly to Guangqi Road. This is a shortcut.
So, he walked into the Sijiao Vegetable Market without thinking.
But at this time, there were already a lot of people in the vegetable market. Shanghainese people go out to buy vegetables in the morning.
At this time, in the vegetable market, everyone, regardless of gender or age, came here with a bamboo basket in their hands. Their eyes were extremely shrewd in searching the vegetable stalls nearby, assessing the quality and price of the vegetables or fish.
Shanghainese are the smartest people in the world when it comes to buying food, looking at the food, asking prices, and weighing portions!
The vegetable vendors shouted loudly, and people of all ages and age were rushing back and forth to buy vegetables.
Kawakami and his two men walked calmly through the vegetable stalls and pedestrians, and continued to move forward.
At this time, Kawakami noticed something strange. There seemed to be a person looking at him from the corner of his eye.
He turned his head casually and glanced at the man. When he saw the man's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked!
It was a woman, holding an empty basket in her hand, staring at him with a pair of big, frightened eyes.
God! What a ghost! She is Li Xiulan! Is she a human or a ghost! How can she still be alive! Absolutely impossible!
Kawakami just glanced at her casually, but his heart was already in a turmoil, and he was so surprised that he almost went crazy!
But that woman was Li Xiulan, and she was staring at him in horror with her mouth wide open!
The first premonition that came to Kawakami's mind was that this woman was going to scream!
Sure enough, Li Xiulan opened her mouth desperately, screamed so sharply, and pointed at him.
She screamed: "Murder! He's a murderer! He's a murderer!"
Kawakami also stared at her, but his steps slowed down. He was thinking about how she could still be alive, this unbelievable thing! At the same time, he was thinking about what he should do! The most direct feeling was to take out his pistol and shoot him
Kill her! Just do it!
However, according to the necessary steps to kill, the first step before shooting is to look at the escape route!
But as he glanced around, he realized he couldn't do that!
Everyone followed Li Xiulan's finger and looked in his direction. Some people looked at him, while others looked near him, as if they wanted to confirm who was the murderer. People behind him were rushing towards him, wanting to see what happened!
Therefore, he has no way out at this time!
Kawakami had no choice. He looked at Li Xiulan, then turned back and looked around, as if he was also looking for the murderer.
He quickened his pace and soon got into the crowd.
Under such circumstances, it is no longer appropriate for him to go to the Nanshi Police Station again. He must leave as soon as possible and go to Huaqian Road!
At this time, Li Xiulan's face was as white as snow and she was terrified. She wanted to catch up and continue to identify the murderer! But her whole body was shaking with fear, her legs were already as soft as noodles, and she almost collapsed on the ground!
Some people gathered around and looked at her in surprise.
At this time, she was even more frightened. If that person stabbed her again, she would never be able to escape!
She struggled to stand up, pushed away the people around her, and left in a hurry.
She has to go find Chief Guike as soon as possible! She doesn’t want to die! Only Chief Guike can protect her now! Even catch the murderer! God! She actually saw the person who killed her!
Kawakami finally passed through the Sijiao Vegetable Market. Instead of going to Guangqi Road, he returned to Fangbang Road and went to Zhang Mansion.
At this time, he had fallen into a state of confusion and panic.
The most fearful thing for a killer in the world is to face the people he killed before again!
The mixture of confusion and panic inevitably made him question himself: Who am I? Where am I? What have I done? Did I really kill that person? Did I kill her? Or I didn't kill her at all.
!Everything is just in a dream!
Kawakami had doubts about himself. Did I really kill her? Did I really cut her that way?
But, how could she be alive! There is no way she is alive! But she is alive! Still screaming at me!
That knife was so fatal! She would collapse within one minute! She would be unconscious within two minutes! Die within three minutes! Without exception! But Li Xiulan was alive! Was what I saw a ghost? He kept asking himself this.
Kawakami's situation did not ease until he entered Zhang's mansion and came face to face with Boss Zhang.
When Kawakami walked from Fangbang Road, he passed Baofu Lane. The Li Xiulan who screamed at him but was killed lived here! He was full of doubts at this time, so he didn't go to Li Xiulan's house to take a look.
If he went there, he would be even more surprised!
28-29
At this time, Liao Ruolan and Qin Yali, who lived in Li Xiulan's house, had already gotten up.
Liao Ruolan got up early. After she freshened up, she started cleaning. No one had lived here for many days, and there was dust everywhere.
According to Qin Yali's living habits, she doesn't get up until at least ten o'clock. She is a person who stays up late.
However, she heard that Miss Liao had already gotten up and was busy around the room, so she had to get up.
She is a natural agent, and she has already been full of questions about Miss Liao. How to find out the identity of Miss Liao has been lingering in her mind.
They greeted each other politely, made a simple breakfast together, and then sat at the small table to eat.
"Where are Miss Liao going today?" Qin Yali asked casually.
"I'd better go to Yadong Radio to see if I still have my job." Liao Ruolan said calmly.
"Oh, let me talk about it, why don't I also find a job?"
"If you have savings, you can open another bar near here." Liao Ruolan said casually.
"Where do I have that much money? It costs a lot of money to open a small shop! Forget it, forget it, I'll just take a look around and walk around." Qin Yali said calmly.
After breakfast, they went out together. Liao Ruolan waved to Qin Yali and walked north.
Qin Yali headed south, onto Fangbang Road. She could not have imagined that Kawakami had just walked past here a few minutes ago.
She made a circle, turned north again, and soon saw Miss Liao's elegant back. She followed her quietly, hoping to find something.
They all left the old north gate of Nanshi one after another. When they were about to reach Fourth Avenue, Qin Yali noticed that Miss Liao made a phone call. Then, she sat down in a small teahouse.
Qin Yali is a shrewd agent. She can tell at a glance that she is waiting for someone! She said she was going to the unit to take a look today, but now she is sitting in a small teahouse waiting for someone. The person she is waiting for must be interesting.
