"Oh, really? You actually know this?"
When he woke up early in the morning and was still having breakfast, Meng Shaoyuan looked surprised when he heard Zhu Ciyi's words.
"Really, brother-in-law." Zhu Ciyi vowed: "My good friend Mr. Lu, the Lu family is famous in Changsha City. He told me personally that the boss of 'Fuyuan Trading' is a Japanese pretending to be Gan Haiyuan. Go there often.”
"Can't go wrong?"
"It will never go wrong." Zhu Ciyi said resolutely: "You are my brother-in-law, how could we deceive the whole family? If it is wrong, you can do whatever you want to me!"
Meng Shaoyuan praised: "Okay, I am lucky to have a brother-in-law like you!"
Zhu Ruichuan listened on the side with a proud smile on his face.
Meng Shaoyuan stood up: "My father-in-law, is there any other place to go out here that won't be discovered by the two people at the door?"
"Yes, yes."
Zhu Ruichuan said hurriedly: "There is a side door that is never opened. No one knows where to go."
"Brother-in-law, where are you going?" Zhu Ciyi asked quickly.
"I'm going to investigate the conclusive evidence of Gan Haiyuan's crime!" Meng Shaoyuan sneered.
"Xian son-in-law, you must be careful, these people are not easy to mess with." Zhu Ruichuan reminded nervously.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't seem to care at all: "Don't worry, I have the Shang Fang sword that Deputy Director Dai personally gave me. When necessary, I can also seek assistance from the army!"
Zhu Ruichuan was stunned when he heard this, and then felt very proud.
In the Qing Dynasty, only General Fuyuan had the Shangfang Sword. Yongzheng had it, Nian Gengyao had it, but no one else had heard of it.
Now, our virtuous son-in-law actually possesses Shang Fang’s sword!
…
Meng Shaoyuan did not investigate any evidence of Gan Haiyuan's crimes, but took Xiaozhong and Sophia directly to Changju.
"Boss Du, there is no need to greet you. I came to you today with something important, something important." Meng Shaoyuan said as soon as he saw Du Xunkui: "Also, help me find a map of Changsha. The more complete the better. .”
"Okay." Du Xunkui didn't hesitate at all: "I will give the employees a holiday immediately. It's just that the map of Changsha is hard to find, but I can draw it for you wherever you need to know."
"good!"
After Du Xunkui finished clearing the place, Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked: "Do you know a Japanese named Hirakawa Deyi?"
"I know you, why don't you know me?" Du Xunkui didn't even think about it: "Before the war between China and Japan, this man was a celebrity in Changsha. Basically everyone doing business in Changsha knew him. His gauze was all from Japan. Shipped from the mainland, the quality is good and the price is low, which makes our domestic gauze unable to fight back. After the war, this man disappeared. I heard that he appeared to be a Japanese businessman, but in fact he was a big spy chief."
Meng Shaoyuan took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, first took out one and lit it: "I want to find where this Pingchuan Deyi is hiding!"
"Uncle Meng also knows Pingchuan Deyi?"
"Never seen that before."
"Is there a source of information?"
"No, my only source of information is you!"
At this time, not only Du Xunkui, but also Xiao Zhong and Sophia were extremely curious.
He has never even met his opponent and has no news at all. Why would he find a stranger he has never met in Changsha?
"A person's personality and living habits will leave many clues. What I have to do is analyze." Meng Shaoyuan took a deep breath of cigarette: "He is the head of the secret service and must stay in Changsha to command, so , you can leave the suburbs alone.”
Du Xukui immediately drew a big circle on the paper.
"The Changsha fire made it much easier for me to find this person." Meng Shaoyuan mused: "Those who were burned to scorched earth, remove them... focus on recovery, remove them, that will only increase the possibility of his exposure... Residential areas, Get rid of it because it is inconvenient to communicate there...Remove restaurants, hotels and other places, they are the key investigation areas of our military command..."
He said something, and Du Xunkui drew a spot on the paper.
"Boss Du, what is Hirakawa Deyi's hobby?"
"Good wine, good food." Du Xunkui replied without hesitation: "He said it himself, you can't live without wine for a day, and you can't live up to your stomach... By the way, this person also loves to be clean. I remember... At a cocktail party, there were some stains on his clothes, and he immediately changed them. At that time, there were some shameless traitors who flattered him, saying that the quality of Japanese people was very high."
"Fine wine, delicious food, and mysophobia." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Then my judgment just now is correct. Places where civilians are concentrated in Changsha and places with few shops can all be removed. Not only is this inconsistent with his character, but it is also difficult to lurk . Hirakawa Deyi is not lurking alone, there must be many people around him. If he wants to buy daily necessities and needs to walk a long way, it will only increase the possibility of exposure, so he will definitely buy in batches nearby."
The Changsha fire really helped Meng Shaoyuan a lot.
Changsha is a big city. Although it is not as good as Shanghai, Qingdao, and Tianjin, it is still very prosperous, with all the necessary facilities and many lively places.
But this time the fire burned down many stores.
Du Xunkui drew on the paper: "So, there are still four places that meet your conditions. This place is already a little angry, and some shops have begun to reopen after simple repairs..."
"Find me a spot in these four places." Meng Shaoyuan put out the cigarette butt and lit another one: "This place has a relatively open terrain, making it easy to escape and monitor. There is a large flow of people, so if an emergency occurs, It is easy to hide yourself in the crowd and disappear. It is convenient to buy daily necessities, whether it is in batches or in large quantities at one time, it will not attract anyone's attention. And the most important thing is that there was no huge loss in the fire. …”
"Exhibition Hall of Chinese Products!"
Du Xunkui blurted out: "Uncle Meng, there is only one place in Changsha that meets your conditions, the Domestic Products Exhibition Hall!"
"Speak carefully!" Meng Shaoyuan immediately paid attention.
"In the 18th year of the Republic of China, the National Government promoted domestic products. In the 21st year of the Republic of China, the Domestic Products Exhibition Hall was officially opened to the public. On October 30 of the same year, after the Chairman and his wife visited the Domestic Products Exhibition Hall, the then Chairman of the Hunan Provincial Government, He Jian, also I took photos during the banquet on the sixth floor of the exhibition hall, so this domestic product exhibition hall is very famous." Du Xunkui talked eloquently.
The newly opened domestic products exhibition hall has a high floor and a large area. There are fans throughout the hall in summer and heating in winter, making it pleasant all year round. The first floor of the front building is a shopping mall, which is open for leasing, but the sale of domestic products is restricted.
The third floor displays famous domestic products from major cities across the country and specialties from various regions in the province for visitors and to serve merchants.
After the completion of the Domestic Products Exhibition Hall, it quickly became the largest domestic products shopping mall in Changsha and even the entire province. It caused a sensation in the entire province and had a great impact domestically. At that time, many people from inside and outside the province came to visit.
"This fire also damaged the domestic products exhibition hall." Du Xunkui continued: "The doors, windows, shelves, counters and display cabinets of the front building were burned out, and the spire and flagpole on the top floor were destroyed. However, because the main body is a reinforced concrete building, It has not been burned. However, in a short period of time, it has begun to fully open to the public. According to estimates, it will be restored to new condition in another ten days!
This is usually where Changsha people gather. Ordinary people can save a lot of money by coming here to buy daily necessities because the prices are cheap. Those who do small business also like to come here to purchase a batch, then ship it back and sell it at a higher price, making a lot of hard money, because no matter whether you buy more or less, no one will care. That is a normal thing. .
Also, in the 21st year of the Republic of China, the Chairman and his wife came to visit. In order to welcome them, He Jian specially ordered the road to be widened. How wide should the road be? Two trams and one car can run side by side. Moreover, it was equipped with a large number of facilities at that time. For example, the Changsha Fire Station was not far away. Therefore, this area suffered the least damage from the fire in Changsha. "
"Right here!" Meng Shaoyuan pinched out half of the cigarette: "Hirachuan Deyi must be hiding in this area!"
Du Xunkui asked cautiously: "Uncle Meng, even if he is hiding in this area, it is very big here, so it may not be easy to find him."
"Why do I have to find him?" Meng Shaoyuan suddenly smiled.
Du Xunkui was a little confused. Since he was not going to find it, why did he put so much effort into guessing where Pingchuan Deyi was hiding?
"Snatch the grass to scare the snake, scare the grass to scare the snake."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "Snakes are becoming more and more cunning. If you don't make some big noise, will the snakes be easily fooled? Xiaozhong, mobilize Li Zhifeng, now it's their turn to appear!"
"yes!"
Xiaozhong is also confused. What does Brother Meng want to do? Being able to capture the head of the Japanese secret service stationed in Changsha was a great achievement, but Brother Meng didn't seem to care.
"I want to capture Pingchuan Deyi like a dog." Meng Shaoyuan lit another cigarette: "But I have to lure out that big snake! Xiao Zhong, hurry up and do it."
"yes!"
As soon as Xiao Zhong left, Du Xunkui asked: "Uncle Meng, have you been to He Xiuming's house? Stationmaster He can be considered an acquaintance with me. It's a pity."
"I've been there." Meng Shaoyuan also sighed: "He was indirectly killed by Fan Yanqing and Yang Qiaoyue."
"Who? Fan Yanqing?" Du Xunkui asked.
Meng Shaoyuan nodded and gave a rough summary of his analysis of the He family: "Although He Xiuming was not directly killed by them, they can't escape their involvement."
"No way." Du Xunkui said unexpectedly: "He Xiuming died at 10 o'clock in the evening, but Fan Yanqing was not present at that time."
"What did you say?" Meng Shaoyuan was surprised: "Fan Yanqing wasn't there?"
"He must not be there." Du Xunkui said: "That day, he was playing mahjong at Boss Shan's place. I was also in the game played by Boss Shan. We didn't break up until twelve o'clock at night. We even ate. I won’t go back until midnight!”
There's something wrong here.
There was another man present in the He family at that time!
