Chapter 685 He Seems to Know Everything

It was the Spring Festival, and although there were not many people in the palace, it was still lively.

Early in the morning, Wang Yan practiced martial arts and wrote couplets at home after breakfast. It should be posted not only in the prince's mansion, but also in other factories, schools, etc. He had been writing for several days.

Yu Manli, who had no family, naturally came to help with the work and helped Wang Yan who was driving the big spoon. She is the only one among the many women in Shanghai who has contact with Wang Yan who has entered the house and can celebrate the New Year together. Although she did not live completely in the prince's mansion, but lived by herself in an apartment outside, there was no doubt about her identity.

Of course, some people will also look down upon her. After all, women have been called for liberation, and she belongs to the progressive group of educated young people. Some people are still very contemptuous of her behavior. But it was also thanks to her vassalship of Wang Yan that she was now the person in charge of more than a dozen schools and had people around her.

The composition of these people is also very complicated. After all, there are already Red Party members. In addition, Manli herself is a member of the military command. There is also Wang Yan's brand behind her. People from the Kuomintang are also indispensable. There are also insidious Japanese planted Secret agent, spying.

Fortunately, Yu Manli hadn't lost her mind yet. She had received professional training and had never expressed any opinions. Her contacts with others were also very secretive. Otherwise, this bitch would have been captured long ago. After all, she is a well-known woman around Wang Yan, and she is the focus of attention.

During the Chinese New Year, there are always people who are happy and others who are worried. However, the workers under Wang Yan are very happy because this year’s New Year benefits are more and better than last year. Everyone received sealed and packaged instant noodles and drinks of various flavors, as well as rice, noodles, fish and meat, etc. In the past few days before the year before, the name of Boss Wang in Shanghai Tang was the most famous.

Of course, the main reason is that compared to the output value of a whole year, it really doesn't cost much. He himself runs a grain business, including rice, flour, grains, oils, etc. He transports rice, flour, grains, oil, etc. to the country with a fleet. For him, grain is very cheap. They even produce instant noodles and drinks themselves, which only cost tens of thousands of boxes for very little money.

What's more, the supply of materials is now insufficient, and it is a time for people to make large purchases before the year. Prices, which are already not low, will inevitably rise again. Even if the prices of the supplies he sells are slightly lower, the increased revenue is not comparable to the New Year benefits of tens of thousands of people.

Mr. Wang has always been a good boss who is committed to achieving common prosperity. He is very friendly to his employees, does not put a lot of pressure on him, and is willing to spend money. He is a decent person...

After lunch, dinner was prepared. Yu Manli, Qi Si, Uncle Wu, Aunt Liang, and the four men without family members responsible for the security of the prince's mansion, a total of nine people had dinner. This meal was not that easy to prepare.

There was nothing much to do during the Chinese New Year. Wang Yan and Na were busy making dumplings together in the evening, which was very lively.

They didn't have to wait until 12 o'clock to start eating. Instead, they started wrapping the food at around 8 o'clock. After wrapping, they went straight to the pot to cook.

While they were cooking dumplings and waiting for dinner, the phone rang in the hall. Qi Si trotted over to answer the phone. After listening to a few words, he hurried back to find Wang Yan who was playing poker: "Brother Yan, Inspector Liu on Xiafei Road. Telephone."

Yu Manli curled her lips: "Isn't he the New Year?"

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, then stood up and went over to pick up the phone: "Hey, Old Liu, why should you call me during the Chinese New Year?"

"Oh, Brother Yan, I also want to have my wife and kids warm up on the hot bed at home. The dumplings are all wrapped, and we're just waiting to eat them. Then there's trouble." Liu Yitong's voice came from the phone, "I just received the news. There was a gunfight at the Clay Western Restaurant on Xiafei Road, and Wang Furui was shot in the head. This Wang Furui was the president of the Chamber of Commerce who had defected to the Japanese. He also had a position in the maintenance committee. He was also Wang Manchun's uncle. I didn't know. What should I do? I have no choice but to call you and let you make an idea."

"I see, you just go out to celebrate the New Year with a grudge, and you have to make it difficult for me to celebrate the New Year. What does the death of Japanese people have to do with you? Of course, you should do whatever you need to do. Now you call me. , How can I pretend that I don’t know anything? Okay, I’ll go over and see what’s going on.”

After speaking, Wang Yan hung up the phone angrily. How could Liu Yitong be a waste? How could he really be unable to make up his mind? He just didn't want to face the Japanese and let him stand in front of them. Another point is that Wang Manchun is indeed involved. It would be relatively better for him to come forward and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Yu Manli asked curiously: "What's the matter? I'm calling you so late?"

"Just now, Wang Manchun's uncle was shot dead in a Western restaurant on Xiafei Road. Liu Yitong didn't want to get involved with the Japanese, so he pulled me out. It was Wang Manchun's uncle who died. He had some business dealings with me before. I have been called, so I can’t pretend not to know. I can only go and have a look. You don’t have to wait for me. I don’t know when I will be back.”

Yu Manli's eyes widened, and then she said nothing. Wang Furui was not a good person and had done many evil things. What's more, he was Wang Manchun's uncle. She died a good death and she was secretly happy in her heart. But she didn't say anything. She would be wrong if she spoke too much. There were also Wang Yan's men in the room, and they looked very sincere. No one knew what the real situation was.

Of course Wang Yan understood what Yu Manli was thinking. He smiled, said nothing more, turned around and went upstairs to change clothes.

Qi Si beside him went to his room to change into warm clothes without any instructions.

Soon, the car started, the dim halogen lights illuminated the road, and drove out of Wang Mansion. Driving on the empty street with few people, it arrived at Xiafei Road where the incident happened in a short while.

Comparatively speaking, there were many more people on Xiafei Road. After all, this is the gathering place of commercial and entertainment industries at this time. Although it is the New Year today, there are still many shops that are still open, and there are also many people who are not at home. At any time, there are people who do not take the New Year seriously, not to mention that today is a war era. It is difficult for the poor to live, and it is not so easy for the rich to live. There are always some people who live for the moment.

The gunfight at the Clay West Restaurant has spread, but people with rich experience are not afraid. There are even people who happened to pass by and looked at the group of patrolmen surrounding the door of the Western Restaurant and watched curiously from a distance.

This is because they know that it is over and there is no danger, so they have committed the cheap disease of doing good things. If it were a gunfight scene, they would definitely not have the intention to watch the excitement. This is Shanghai, where dozens of people die every day, and it's not normal...

It was under such circumstances that Qi Si drove the car to the door, and Liu Yitong, who arrived earlier, came over to open the door.

Wang Yan stepped on big leather shoes and got out of the car, looking at Liu Yitong who was laughing awkwardly: "Have they all been notified?"

"I called them as soon as possible, and they should be here in about ten minutes."

"You are just afraid that I will be idle. Let's go in and take a look at the situation."

Liu Yitong followed Wang Yan half a step behind and introduced: "We have conducted a preliminary investigation. When the gunfight broke out, people fled in all directions, and we didn't see their faces clearly at the moment, but we can be sure that there was one person downstairs and two people upstairs. These three people acted neatly, acted decisively, and had accurate shooting skills. Except for the guests who were dining, no one survived. The preliminary judgment is that they are members of the Military Control Commission."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows and did not comment. Because he knew very well that the people who acted were Mingtai, Guo Qiyu, and a woman who replaced Yu Manli.

He didn't get the exact news, but he knew very well that Wang Tianfeng would still play with Mingtai's behavior of being soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. So he would still find a woman with some tragic past to make Mingtai sympathize with her and be willing to work for the Military Control Commission.

Entering the store, all you see are messy tables and chairs, scattered dishes, wine and broken glass, which are caused by running away in panic. There are three people lying in a pool of blood on the first floor, all holding guns in their hands. Two of them were shot twice in the back, and one was shot twice in the chest. They should have heard the movement upstairs and pulled out their guns at the first time. Guo Qiyu sneaked in from behind and killed two of them. The remaining one only had time to turn around before he died.

After checking it out, Wang Yan tiptoed to avoid the pool of blood and walked over to go upstairs along the stairs.

The scene on the second floor was much more exciting than the first floor. There were bullet shells all over the floor, and the walls were full of bullet marks. There were seven or eight corpses lying in the corridor. In a room, there were five or six people trapped inside. They were basically shot two or three times. There was a bloody hole on each person's head, which was caused by the close-range shooting later.

Carefully avoiding the blood on the floor, I walked to a room at the end. There was a dead person sitting on the ground leaning against the door at the door, so I saved the door and went in directly.

There were also many corpses in it, six in total. In addition to the two with guns, there were three people in suits and leather shoes. They were the ones who were caught in the crossfire. The businessmen who were eating and talking with Wang Fuqiu at the same table all had fear on their faces.

As the protagonist, Wang Fuqiu was naturally the last corpse. The old man's death was very funny. He was huddled in a cabinet filled with tableware and was shot in the head. In addition to fear, his face was also a bit unbelievable, because Mingtai killed him.

Judging from the situation upstairs and downstairs, Mingtai's ability to act is very high. Perhaps it was because Huo Di rationalized his combat effectiveness, making the gunfight scene look very clean, reflecting the neat actions of Mingtai and others.

This is a very normal thing. After all, in the play, Mingtai, Yu Manli and others stood there and shot at the enemy at any time. The enemy's dense bullets could not hurt them within a distance of more than ten meters, but their bullets hit them one by one. If Mingtai does not rationalize his combat effectiveness, he will not survive more than three episodes.

As for him, who only learned some Western boxing and had a weak physique, he grew up rapidly to the current level after four or five months of military training. After all, he is the protagonist and has extraordinary talents, so it is understandable...

"These are all businessmen who have defected to the Japanese and followed Wang Fuqiu to cheer for her. Today they are here to discuss Wang Fuqiu's pursuit of a government position. These two are the guards that Wang Fuqiu has spent a lot of money to keep. They are still somewhat famous in the martial arts world of Shanghai. I didn't expect them to be killed so easily. One of them fired two shots and the other fired one shot."

Seeing Wang Yan standing in the room with his hands behind his back and looking at the body on the ground, Liu Yitong reported the identities of these people sensibly.

Wang Yan nodded: "These three military commanders are very capable. It seems that Chen Gongshu is still capable. He deserves his reputation."

"If you ask me, the best person to do their job is Pei Min. He is the real killer. He comes and goes without a trace and kills silently. It's not like now. There is such a big commotion. Brothers can't spend the New Year at home peacefully. They are causing trouble for us."

"It's to cause trouble for you. You are the one who caused my trouble."

Liu Yitong chuckled and changed the subject: "I noticed that you don't seem to care about the Youth Federation now? I told you, Du Yong still has some control over the Youth Federation, and I don't dare to do it. It’s too much, what do you think?”

"I'm just too lazy to pay attention to it, but there are a lot of secret moves, don't worry. As for what I think..." Wang Yan said with a smile, "I want to see if there are any new changes in the situation, you We are smart enough to know that if we capture the Youth League at this time, the Japanese will not give us a way out, regardless of offending others. The Youth League is too big, and if we don't cooperate, we will die. . So let’s let those old bones die. Let’s take advantage of the situation.”

"How long do we have to wait? Brother, I'm following you right now, but they don't want to see me anymore. Don't make it happen in the end. I will become a different person inside and outside, and my wife and children will be harmed."

"Don't worry. According to me, we will see the result in four or five years. Don't worry, don't be afraid of being late for a good meal. You are only two years older than me, and it's not like you can't afford to wait. What are you afraid of?" Wang Yan patted him. His shoulder, "Do what you should do. As long as I live, no one can touch you. If I die, it depends on whether your life is strong or not. Relax, at least for now, it's nothing." Big question."

"I hope so, I've boarded your pirate ship, what else can I do if I don't relax..."

"That's almost it. It's not like I didn't make money with you. These flowers are not as much as the living money you have in your hands. Don't be so picky. If you have money, you have to spend it. If you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death. Keep it. What are you doing?"

"I come from the countryside. I'm afraid of poverty, so I don't dare to be like you. My wife is pregnant again, so I don't have to save some money."

Just as Wang Yan was about to speak, there was a sound of footsteps, and a young man in his twenties ran in: "Mr. Wang, Detective, the people from No. 76 and the Extra High School Class are here."

Liu Yitong waved his hand and motioned for the men to step aside. He straightened his clothes and waited for them to come with Wang Yan.

Not long after, the sound of dense footsteps came. Minglou walked in first. Behind him was Ichiro Muramoto, the special agent of the Special High School Division whom he had not seen for a long time. After him, he was limping on a cane. Liang Zhongchun, and later Mingcheng, who was inseparable from Minglou, were all acquaintances. After them, came No. 76 and the special agents from the Special High School Division. As soon as they entered the house, they began to survey the scene, hoping to find any clues.

"Oh, Mr. Wang, why are you here? I'm sorry to have disturbed you so late." Minglou, who was the leader of the team, was the first to speak.

Ichiro Muramoto in the back bowed in greeting, Liang Zhongchun looked at Wang Yan with a smile on his face, and Mingcheng in the back bowed slightly to show respect.

Wang Yan sighed and said: "Director Wang's uncle died, and he died in the French Concession. I still have business dealings with this Wang Furui. Inspector Liu is my good brother, and he told me immediately, I should come over and take a look at this kind of thing, right?"

"It should be so, it should be so." Minglou nodded repeatedly, "When I received the call, I was about to go to dinner with Director Wang. She was supposed to come over, but because she had a good relationship with her uncle, I couldn’t accept it for a while and had no choice, so I had someone take her home.”

"It's normal. She has deep feelings for Wang Furui."

There is nothing embarrassing about two shameless people talking about the same woman in the eyes of others.

Minglou sighed, walked to Wang Furui and looked at the death scene, remaining silent.

Ichiro Muramoto knew that Wang Furui was a teacher at Minglou, so he did not disturb him. He looked at Liu Yitong and said, "Mr. Liu, can you please tell me what you have learned?"

Of course Liu Yitong couldn't say no. When he explained everything he was about to learn, he didn't want anything else but wanted these people to get out of here.

He is the detective here, but the handling of this case has to refer to the opinions of No. 76 and the people in the Special High School. It is really not a good feeling.

There is nothing that can be done about this. The Japanese are very powerful, so when it comes to such a trivial matter, when it comes to the foreign devils, they will probably leave it to the Japanese to figure it out and not bother to care about it. The arrogant French actually understood the situation, but it was just a bluff.

But it's not without its benefits, because someone collects the body, saving the house arrester a lot of work. As long as he was here to watch symbolically, it was fine, so Inspector Liu Yitong paid for it out of his own pocket. A group of people gathered in a nearby restaurant and ate hot dumplings, glutinous rice balls, etc., and even drank two cups of small drinks. liquor.

After the investigation was over, No. 76 called a car with the people from the Extra High School Course and took away all the bodies. Wang Yan was left with Minglou and Mingcheng waiting in the car.

Wang Yan didn't seem to know anything. He asked curiously: "Did you arrange it?"

"That's right." Minglou thought for a while, replied, and then asked, "It won't have any impact on you, right?"

"My business is always done, and I never lack so-called partners. What impact do you think it has on me? This earth will continue to turn around without anyone."

Wang Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "I remember that the third son of your Ming family went to university in Hong Kong, right?"

"Yeah, why are you talking about him?"

"I thought I saw him walking on the street with a woman a while ago. I didn't pay attention at the time, but today I suddenly thought of him. This is not the right time for him. Didn't you two brothers join the military? Or he didn't learn well. Are you back from school?"

Looking at Wang Yan's meaningful eyes, Ming Lou's heart skipped a beat, and he shook his head and smiled: "No, my brother, I know him best. He grew up in a honey pot, and he can't bear that hardship. It must be that this bad boy didn't study hard and ran back to Shanghai secretly. He was afraid that my eldest sister would teach him a lesson, so he fooled around outside. When I catch him, I will teach him a lesson. Mr. Wang, it's getting late. Today is the Spring Festival. Let's go back early. I'll go to you to wish you a happy new year tomorrow."

"Hey, we are so familiar with each other, what's the point of wishing you a happy new year? It's useless. Let's go quickly. This Liu Yitong didn't want to argue with the Japanese, so he dragged me here. The dumplings were already in the pot, and I'm still hungry now."

After scaring Ming Lou again, Wang Yan waved his hand, got into the car, and left.

Ming Lou was left alone in the cold wind, wondering, what's wrong with Wang Yan's brain, as if he knew everything?
