Ten minutes later, Li Shiqun and another reporter hurried over and took pictures of Chen Zuyi's body with their cameras. The patrol officer responsible for maintaining order immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"We are reporters from the "Social News" magazine, why are we not allowed to take pictures?" Li Shiqun showed his press card.
Patrolman Annan didn't understand Chinese, so he simply ignored him and was not allowed to continue taking pictures anyway.
Li Shiqun stretched his neck and looked inside. He saw Xu Siqi talking to the French inspector, and quickly waved his hand and shouted: "Inspector Xu, Inspector Xu!"
Xu Siqi said a few words to the French inspector, and then walked over.
"Detective Xu, hello."
"Hello."
The two shook hands.
Li Shiqun asked: "Inspector Xu, you are the inspector of the British Concession, how did you get involved in the French Concession case?"
"A friend of mine lives here. I'm here as a guest today. I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."
Xu Siqi didn't explain too much. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Shiqun. He also lit one and said, "It seems that the reporters are well-informed. A murder has just occurred here. You will get the news soon."
"It was a coincidence today. My colleagues and I were going to the water and electricity company for an interview. When we heard shooting here, we knew something big had happened, so we hurried over to take a look." Li Shiqun explained.
He looked around and asked, "How did I hear that two people were killed at the scene, where was the other one?"
"Oh, the other one is not dead and has been sent to the hospital for rescue." Xu Siqi said casually.
"Which hospital?"
"I really didn't pay attention. It seems to be Guangci Hospital, right?"
"oh……"
"Editor Li, I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you for a moment."
"It doesn't matter, you are busy with your business."
Xu Siqi came to the French inspector, turned around and glanced at Gu Qingcheng, who was waiting outside the cordon, and said: "Mr. Inspector, I want to send my girlfriend home. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the chief arrest room to take notes. You
Is it okay to watch?”
Following Xu Siqi's gaze, the French inspector smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem. Inspector Xu, your girlfriend is very beautiful."
Xu Siqi smiled slightly: "Thank you."
The reason why he left the scene in a hurry was because he suddenly thought of a problem. He must meet with Fang Yongyan as soon as possible to determine Li Shiqun's true identity.
If what Shi Jiwei said is true, Li Shiqun should be one of his own.
Some time ago, as a representative of the Party Affairs Investigation Division, Li Shiqun participated in the process of destroying electrotype drawing films.
This incident is enough to prove this person’s status within the Party Affairs Investigation Department. Could such a person be a latent member of the Communist Party?
Now he can only guess what the truth is. Only when he meets Fang Yongyan will everything finally come to light.
Not long after Xu Siqi and Gu Qingcheng left, Liu Jianming drove back home. When he saw a large number of police officers gathered in front of his home, he had a premonition that something was not good.
Mrs. Liu came forward with Arong in her arms and said in a trembling voice: "Jianming, why are you back? Something big happened at home."
Liu Jianming said: "The car broke down on the road and was delayed for a while in the garage... What happened?"
Ah Rong flattened his mouth and said with sobs: "Uncle Shi bled a lot, and he even hit him with a gun..."
"Fortunately, that person restrained the murderer, otherwise Ah Rong would have almost had an accident. Jianming, you have to thank him properly." Mrs. Liu said with lingering fear.
The mother and son were talking to each other, and Liu Jianming was confused. He didn't see Chen Zuyi's body and didn't know the seriousness of the matter.
…………
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Xiafei Road, French Concession.
In front of the Gu Mansion, Gu Qingcheng took Xu Siqi's hand and said, "When you rushed over to catch the bad guys, you made me tremble with fear, and I still feel scared now..."
Xu Siqi said: "There is nothing I can do. If something like this happens, I will definitely rush forward. Otherwise, what is the use of the people paying to support us patrolmen?"
"That man has a gun in his hand, aren't you afraid?"
"I'm scared, but that man is more scared than me. His hands are shaking so much. If it were an experienced gunman, I wouldn't dare to rush forward."
"Actually, I'm quite conflicted sometimes. I don't want to see you doing dangerous things, but I also like to see you look like a man."
"Where is the man?" Xu Siqi looked around deliberately.
Gu Qingcheng smiled and said: "Far away in the world and right in front of us is this Xu Siqi who is sometimes serious and sometimes not."
"How could I not be serious?"
"I mean occasionally."
Xu Siqi defended and said: "Occasionally not. I have always been serious, especially in front of Miss Gu, Liu Xiahui, who is more affectionate than polite, and is willing to sit in her arms without being confused..."
"Okay, okay, the more you talk, the more inappropriate you become." Gu Qingcheng pretended to be angry and said.
After a slight pause, she glanced at the lights in Gu's mansion and said, "Siqi, do you want to go in and have a cup of coffee before leaving?"
Xu Siqi said: "It's very late, let's wait another day."
"Every time I say another day..."
Gu Qingcheng rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Siqi, tell the truth, are you afraid of meeting my family?"
Xu Siqi thought for a while: "Let me put it this way, my frivolous son-in-law is really a bit intimidating."
"Who knows you are a hairy son-in-law? Don't be shy." Gu Qingcheng bit her lower lip and looked at Xu Siqi with a mix of anger and joy.
"Since no one recognizes me, I can leave."
"Don't go..."
On a spring night when the moon was hidden and the stars were sparse, accompanied by a fiery enthusiasm, a breeze blew by and the tall plane trees rustled.
"I have to go now."
"Um."
"Good night."
"good night, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow?"
"Fool, I'm going to find you tomorrow, of course I'll say see you tomorrow."
"tomorrow……"
"Tomorrow is a public holiday."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"Unwillingly, I will disappear tomorrow!"
Gu Qingcheng turned around and ran into the gate of Gu's mansion. Xu Siqi stood there without moving.
After a while, Gu Qingcheng leaned out, smiled and waved: "See you tomorrow."
Before Xu Siqi could react, she immediately closed the door.
For women, if done properly, acting coquettishly is sometimes a way to manipulate men.
Back home, Mrs. Gu was sitting on the chair in the living room as usual, with tea and various snacks on the table, and Xiao Cui was waiting on her.
"Mother, I'm back."
"Went to Xue Huali Road today?"
"Um."
"I heard people say that someone was shooting on Xue Huali Road, and it seemed that someone was killed..."
"Mom, just follow me and don't worry. I'm back fine."
"Well, there is a saying that when a son travels a thousand miles, the mother worries, but when the mother travels a thousand miles, the son does not worry. You have been gone for so long and something happened over there. How can I not worry? In the future, if similar things happen again, I will give you something to worry about.
Make a phone call at home to make sure everything is safe."
"My daughter will obey her mother's orders." Gu Qingcheng was filled with happiness.
Mrs. Gu sighed: "You are like a child who will not grow up."
"I just want to be a little kid and stay with you forever."
"You'd better get married as soon as possible and never come to this door again. I'll just thank God." Mrs. Gu said harshly, but her eyes were filled with infinite doting.
Gu Qingcheng laughed and said: "Even if you get married, I will come back every day and you won't even chase me away."
These words made Mrs. Gu smile and her mood became more comfortable, and she said: "Xiao Cui, go and prepare bath water for the young lady. By the way, where did you put the second lady's letter?"
Xiaocui said: "In the eldest lady's room."
Gu Qingcheng's eyes widened: "Did you receive a letter from Linglong?"
