They knew about the big trouble in Shanghai, but they didn't know that it started from such a small person!
They didn't even expect that Mr. Liu would use such concise language to tell the origin of the chaos!
Liu Richen continued: "This day is August 1st. I heard from Gui Longhai that Cui Gen had an uncle and brother named Cui Huai. Cui Huai thought that it was Bald Jin who insisted on dragging Cui Gen to collect protection money.
It led to the death of his brother. Therefore, the next day, while Bald Jin continued to collect protection fees on Zhumu Street, he gathered some people and killed Bald Jin. Gui Longhai said that Cui Huai was from Hongmen
.Master Liu Shan, this should be correct, right?"
Liu Yingui stared at him but said nothing.
He didn't expect that what he and Cui Huai had secretly discussed would be revealed clearly by this person!
Others could hear this and looked at Liu Richen in surprise, waiting for him to continue.
Liu Richen continued: "Another day later, that is, on the morning of August 3, the Qinggang and Hongmen fought in Yuyuan, and many people died! Because Mr. Du suspected that Bald Jin died and Mr. Lai was kidnapped.
The Hongmen side did it! So we must take revenge on the Hongmen! Master Liu Shan, is that right?"
Liu Yingui stared at him fiercely and said, "I don't know anything else! But I never kidnapped Mr. Lai!"
Liu Richen said: "Yes, you did not kidnap Mr. Lai. Those who kidnapped Mr. Lai were the Japanese! They just wanted to provoke a fight between the Qing Gang and the Hongmen! The result of this fight was that on August 4th, something more happened on Fengtian Road
A huge tragedy! Hall Master Chu of Hongmen Hongkou Hall and several of his men were ambushed by the Qing Gang! This incident was also instigated by the Japanese!"
At this time, Mr. Du asked: "Mr. Liu, you always say that it was the Japanese who started it. Do you have any basis for it?"
Liu Richen said: "Mr. Du, there is indeed evidence! On the night of July 29, Mr. Lai was kidnapped, and his bodyguard was stabbed and seriously injured! The person who treated the bodyguard's injury was Doctor Fu. Doctor Fu, this is it
?"
Fu Xuelan immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I noticed that the wound was very strange, so I remembered it."
Liu Richen continued: "After Cui Gen died, Gui Longhai did not dispose of his body, but kept it in the hospital for preservation. Later, Dr. Fu found the same incision on Cui Gen's body! Gui Longhai
After investigation, Bald Jin, Cui Gen and others used sticks and no daggers when they fought with the brothers in the butcher shop! When Cui Gen came out of the butcher shop, his head was bleeding. But Dr. Fu discovered that Cui Gen's head was bleeding.
The fatal wound was on the back. He was stabbed to death from behind! The wound on his back was the same as the wound on Mr. Lai’s bodyguard! It was stabbed by the same knife!"
After Liu Richen said these words, the living room was very quiet for a while, and everyone was surprised by what they heard.
There is no doubt that the fight between the Qing Gang and the Hongmen was secretly provoked by the Japanese!
After a moment, Liu Yingui suddenly said: "According to your opinion, I shouldn't settle these accounts! Right?"
Liu Richen said: "Gang fights have been going on since ancient times. There is nothing surprising. But for bloody fights caused by secret instigation, Master Liu, who should you settle this account with? Shouldn't you settle it with the Japanese?"
He looked at the people around him and said: "Master Liu Shan, Hongmen is not a small gang. Since its establishment, it has been under the banner of 'hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, eradicating violence and bringing peace to the good', and it has done some great things. Hongmen
Mr. Situ Meitang strongly supported Mr. Sun Yat-sen back then, right? In 1932, during the first Songhu Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai, both the Hongmen and the Qinggang strongly supported the 19th Route Army in resisting the Japanese! This is not true.
That’s right! In this year’s Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Hongmen and the Qinggang both supported the National Army’s resistance against Japan, so that’s right! Why can’t they continue to support the National Army’s Anti-Japanese War now?”
His few words got to the core of today's controversy. Everyone sat motionless, looking at him with heavy eyes, and thinking about what he said!
Mr. Lai stood up and said loudly: "Mr. Liu, what do you think we should do now that the Qinggang and Hongmen are celebrating a festival?"
Liu Richen also stood up, hugged his fists to Du Yuesen and Liu Yingui in front, and said: "Both gentlemen, they are both very important people in Shanghai. I suggest you two put aside their past grudges and fight the war together!"
At this time, Mr. Du also stood up, cupped his fists towards Liu Richen and said, "Mr. Liu, please teach me! I, Du, am willing to contribute to the Anti-Japanese War as Mr. Liu said!" After saying that, he looked back at Liu Yingui.
However, Liu Yingui still has some hesitation! It seems he doesn’t want to give in so easily!
Gong Binsheng hurriedly walked to him, grabbed his arm, shook it secretly, and whispered: "Master Liu Shan, you are also a senior Hongmen, you must have seen through these things, put aside the past grudges, and fight together, you must be willing!"
"
Liu Yingui looked into his eyes and naturally understood his intention, so he nodded vigorously and said, "Okay! I have no problem!"
At this time, Luo Jiang, Peng Shaoyong, and Fu Xuelan, who was sitting next to them, all breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
At this time, the calmest among everyone was Han Dan.
She saw the whole process, especially Liu Richen who appeared later, very carefully.
She was sure that she had remembered this person! The identity of this person surprised her.

Around this time, in the clinic on Wangyun Road, Takahashi looked at Xiao Ancheng, who was sitting across the table with his head lowered, with a gentle and elegant smile.
In fact, he was very anxious. Since yesterday afternoon, he had been looking for Mr. Inoue, but there was no trace!
What he got was that Luo Yushan had called Mr. Inoue. But now, Luo Yushan was nowhere to be found! Mr. Inoue's two subordinates were also nowhere to be found! It was so strange!
Will Mr. Inoue have any accidents? But he is a veteran agent, very experienced, and extremely cautious when encountering problems! How could he have an accident? He has no reason to hide!
Now, his men have two major tasks. One is to pay attention to all the whereabouts of the secret envoys sent by the Chinese Communist Party! The other is to find Mr. Inoue!
His mission at this time is to win over Xiao'an City!
He and Mr. Sato once studied Xiao Ancheng carefully!
They all agreed that such a student, a former soldier, impulsively joined the army, was pulled into the secret service team by his superiors, and became a telegraph operator. He cannot have firm beliefs, let alone a strong will! Just point out his
The prospect is enough to win him down!
Xiao Ancheng's appearance at this time made him even more confident.
He kept sitting with his head bowed. Takahashi could tell that Xiao Ancheng was avoiding his staring gaze!
The ten fingers of his hands were pressed together, shaking left or right. Takahashi believed that this small movement showed that he was indecisive!
In the past two days, he deliberately relaxed supervision and did not send anyone to monitor Xiao Ancheng. It would be easy for him to leave!
But he never left, living quietly and eating clean meals three times a day.
These all indicate that, at least out of survival instinct, he does not want to leave here!
Takahashi suppressed his anxiety and said softly: "Mr. Xiao, let's just assume that you leave here, where are you going? Do you have any relatives in Shanghai? Do you have any friends?"
Xiao Ancheng still sat with his fingers facing each other, his head bowed, without saying a word.
Takahashi added: "Or, will you return to your group and ask Luo Jiang or any other commander to treat you leniently? Will you go back?"
Xiao Ancheng still didn't speak, just sat with his head bowed, rubbing his hands back and forth.
Takahashi felt that it was necessary to tighten the rope and force it. He believed it would be effective!
He said softly: "Mr. Xiao, as far as I know, you have no relatives or friends in Shanghai. You only went to college in Shanghai for one year, and your only classmate and friend now is Chen Zifeng! Am I right?
In addition, it is impossible for you to return to the group! Luo Jiang and others, the lightest punishment for you is to be expelled from the military! They may even lock you up for a few more years! Then let you go home! If they deal with you more severely, they may not
That’s easy to explain. Do you understand these situations?”
Takahashi could see that although Xiao Ancheng was still sitting with his head bowed, the expression on his face had changed, and even his breathing became heavier. He was convinced that Xiao Ancheng's inner defense was about to collapse!
He said: "Mr. Xiao, in this case, is cooperation with us the only way out?"
He stared at Xiao Ancheng intently and continued to ask: "Please tell me, what is your current mission?"
He noticed that Xiao Ancheng's fingers no longer moved and his whole body remained motionless. Takahashi believed that this was Xiao Ancheng's last hesitation! He was about to speak!

This morning, when Qiao Yanfang was walking on the road, she was also thinking about her brother Xiao.
What worries her the most is what is Brother Xiao's current situation! Does he have food to eat? Does he have a place to sleep? Has he encountered difficulties? Or, has he encountered difficulties that are difficult to overcome!
She has always had a suspicion in her heart, what tricks did Chen Zifeng and Brother Xiao play!
But again, they didn’t know they were going to be examined until they arrived at Jiale Road! They didn’t have time to discuss it! The other side of this matter was that Chen Zifeng was not the one who betrayed his friends! She was sure of this!
So, how is Brother Xiao doing now? She really can't feel relieved!
Qiao Yanfang has two tasks today. One is to inform the people at the Wangyun Road Clinic surveillance point that there are not enough people today, so they cannot go back to rest.
She completed this task easily.
Yang Sanqiang said: "No problem, we will keep an eye on him for another day!"
Her second task was to observe the small hotel on Xueqian Street to see if there was any opportunity to ambush Kawakami!
She left the surveillance point at Wangyun Road Clinic and prepared to go to Xueqian Street.
From the intersection of Wangyun Road and Zhaojia Road, go north to Xueqian Street. It's very close. It only takes ten minutes to walk.
