The man was stunned on the spot, but did not run away again, but looked at Ma Xiaoguang with some sarcasm.
Whether this person is escaping or running long-distance, he is subject to physical limitations. Especially for such long-distance running, it is okay not to stop. Once he slows down, he will not be able to exert force again so quickly.
Moreover, the man in gray didn't seem to be planning to run away, he just looked at Ma Xiaoguang with a strange look.
"What's going on? Why are you chasing after me?" The man in gray suddenly asked Ma Xiaoguang, speaking in an authentic Chongqing dialect.
"You personally have a stomachache, and I know that it is a murder case..." Ma Xiaoguang also said in Chongqing dialect.
"I didn't kill anyone! When I went in, the foreigner was dead!" the man in gray said anxiously.
"Then what did you get?"
"Nothing! Huh? Who am I to tell you?"
"You'd better tell me, I'm a policeman, from Jinling..." Boss Ma took out the police ID he had prepared.
"I really didn't kill that person, and I didn't find anything. You guys came in while I was still looking for it." After seeing the certificate, the man in gray seemed to be in a much more stable mood.
"I believe you, but you have to be sincere and give me your font name, right?"
"I am Xie Qinghe, Dazu Iron Mountain Fort, the rivers and lakes..." The man in gray seemed to be more interested, and was about to start a section of the rivers and lakes.
"No need to talk nonsense, come with me and talk about today's events in detail."
Xie Qinghe, a man in gray clothes, followed Ma Xiaoguang, found a secluded place, and told the whole story of the suspected murder case.
It turns out that the Xie family of Tieshan Fort is a local wealthy family. A while ago, Xie Jinyu, the steward of the fort, received a letter from Jianghu, saying that there was a big secret in Teresa Catholic Church, which might even be related to the fate of the world, so Xie Jinyu sent him Xie Qinghe, who is more capable among the younger generation, came to Yudu to investigate the matter.
Xie Qinghe came to Chongqing and inquired in many places, and then learned from a Bao inquirer known as "Bai Xiao Scholar" that according to unreliable information - Archbishop Pan's personal servant Taylor of the Catholic Church might have something he wanted.
People in the world just do what they say. After receiving the news, Xie Qinghe immediately came to Taylor's place. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he saw Taylor lying in a pool of blood, dead.
"This is really what happened. I really didn't lie to you..." Xie Qinghe said to Boss Ma.
"It's not that I don't believe what you say. If you have red mouth and white teeth, you can talk nonsense. I will have a way to cure you. Take me to see that scholar you are talking about tomorrow." Boss Ma said fiercely.
"This man's dragon is hard to find, so it's difficult to find him!" Xie Qinghe muttered.
"Nonsense! That's why I asked you tomorrow, otherwise I would ask you to take me there today." Boss Ma shouted sternly.
The most luxurious place in Chongqing in the 1930s was near the General Chamber of Commerce. It was like Nanjing Road in Shanghai, with everything to eat, drink and have fun.
A gold-lettered sign in black lacquer and regular script hangs at the door of "You Lai Guan". This is a Japanese-style entertainment venue.
Don’t be surprised, there was even a Japanese concession in Chongqing a few years ago. However, the people of Chongqing fought resolutely after the lease expired in 1931 and failed to allow the Neon Kingdom to continue to occupy the concession, so the concession was taken back.
Therefore, there are more than one Japanese-style leisure places here, and "You Lai Guan" is just the one with the best business.
Today at noon, Boss Ma still dressed up as Master Senpo, Fatty still dressed up as Butler Fan, and brought the Xie family master captured yesterday to "come to the hotel again" to find out the news.
Entering the second door of "You Lai Pavilion" is the patio. The room on the right side of the patio is hung with a "Lv Feng" curtain, which is a Japanese bathroom. The main hall on the left side of the patio is a Japanese-style restaurant, which is full of Japanese dishes. The gramophone also plays this neon country tune. Upstairs is a Japanese-style guest room.
According to Xie Qinghe, he and the man found out that the last time they met was in this "Lai Lai Guan", and the man seemed to reveal that he was a regular visitor here, so the three of them decided to come here to find out.
This place was originally a place where dignitaries often came to have fun, and it was easy to get information. The inquisitors also developed a downline here, so it was easy to get information about "Scholar Baixiao" by asking the bartender.
The "Baixiao Scholar" is called Liu Jun. He comes here almost every now and then to drink and have fun, or to inquire about information, or mostly to sell information - he is actually the same person as Zhang Ruoqi from Jinling.
According to the bartender, Liu Jun just spent the night here yesterday and had a great time with the red brand Sayuri Yoshida and other neon country girls. I'm afraid he won't come back today.
After hearing this, before Young Master Senpo could speak, Butler Fan shouted: "Who is that... It doesn't matter, our Young Master Senpo is not short of money, call that Sayuri and the girl, and let our young master have fun."
After that, he took out a stack of French coins and slapped them on the table.
At this time, the legal currency has just come out, and the purchasing power is still very strong, basically equivalent to that of the ocean. The consumption here in Chongqing has not risen yet, and a girl only has less than 20 yuan. Looking at the stack of bills from Butler Fan, although it is not enough to book the whole place, But he was also a big spender, so the bartender immediately put on a smile and greeted him warmly, insisting that several guests experience the neon country style of Chongqing.
The bartender was busy looking for people and preparing drinks and dishes. He also complained that the uncles came a little early. They usually came at night, but there were some during the day, but not many. The girls were still catching up on their sleep.
"What? De Biao, you want me to make a mistake..." Master Senpo said quietly.
"Master, this is a matter of bringing glory to the country." Butler Fan said with a playful smile.
"Tch, you don't know. The girls here say they are from Neon Country, but in fact most of them are from Bangzi Country. Most of them have bow legs. Those legs are thicker than yours. Maybe they smell like a big lump when they talk... ...Do you believe it or not?" Master Senpo said angrily.
"Oh, as the saying goes, a scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out. You, Master Po, insist on asking for it, and you even know all this!" There are no guests here either, so I am no longer as restrained as when I was in the club.
"Hmph, your young master, I also know that this is not only a gold selling cave, but also an intelligence point..." Young Master Senpo sneered.
But he had to bring the topic back quickly, otherwise he would go further and further away. After returning home, the fat man’s mouth would still be full of gossip.
"There is a neon country intelligence agency in Chongqing called Jinzi Mansion. This new agency is their important intelligence point. Everyone should be careful later." Master Senpo said in a low voice.
Next, everyone consciously did not talk about work-related matters, but only talked about the customs, interesting stories and anecdotes of Chongqing.
"Three guests, long wait!" came the bartender's voice.
After two high-fives, a group of neon girls in kimonos filed in. Miraculously, a neon-style BGM sounded.
This is probably because someone is playing a gramophone in the dark - well, this person is going to cause trouble when he comes to the library again, so be careful.
The girls are all wearing kimonos of various colors, and at first glance they look a bit competitive.
"Who is Miss Sayuri?" Butler Fan asked aloud.
The fat man was getting more and more into the role, and before Master Senpo could ask any questions, he spoke first.
A girl wearing a white kimono with a little makeup on her face stood up. Her face was not painted as white as the neon country geisha, so her true face could not be seen clearly. She just used some rouge and traced her eyebrows. Here The dusty place seems a bit fresh and refined.
"Well, Miss Sayuri, stay, you, you and you... stay, and the rest will disperse." The fat man left a few that were pleasing to the eye, and let the big teapot take away the rest that were not so satisfactory.
"Well, that's right, De Biao, let's see the reward..." Master Senpo commanded proudly.
"Everyone sit down and let Master Senpo watch the reward." The fat man took out more than ten yuan and rewarded him.
"Thank you, Master Senpo..." The girls hurriedly thanked them, and their speeches almost went off the rails, almost with a Bangzi accent.
"Who is that... Miss Sayuri, come and talk." Master Senpo ordered.
Miss Sayuri walked up to Master Senpo with a low eyebrow, bowed slightly, and sat down gracefully.
"Hello, Master Senpo." His accent didn't sound too bad, and his Mandarin was very standard.
"Oh, you speak Chinese well, let's watch and enjoy!" Master Senpo was happy and ordered Butler Fan.
After drinking and chatting with the girls for a while, and seeing that the atmosphere was no longer so awkward, Master Senpo asked: "Young Master, I came from out of town. I guess the girls also saw it. When I first arrived, my eyes darkened. I want to find someone." A local snake asked about the story of Yudu. I heard that so-and-so... his name is Liu Jun, do any of you know him?"
"Young Master Senpo knows that we meet many guests every day. We call them whatever they say. How do we know the real name of the guest? The guest you mentioned may have given a false name." Miss Sayuri smiled. Di said to Master Senpo.
"Oh? Really? So Miss Sayuri also has a fake name?" Master Senpo also said with a smile.
"Master Senpo, you don't joke like this."
"Who are you kidding me? Honestly! Where is Sayuri?" Master Senpo suddenly turned his face and shouted, his expression completely different from before.
The girl had seen the scene before, but she didn't panic at all. She just picked up the glass and drank by herself.
With a "pop", Butler Fan shot a twenty-gun box cannon on the table. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the girls suddenly fell silent.
"Ma Dan, I'm sorry, tell me quickly!" the fat man said viciously.
"Mori...Master Moripo, this girl is Sayuri's sister Misako. Miss Sayuri is a little sick..." Another girl said timidly.
"Take us there!" Master Senpo's tone left no room for doubt or disagreement.
The girl who spoke and Misako led the three of them through two courtyards and came to a small building.
"Sister doesn't like others to disturb her..." Misako whispered.
Without saying anything to Misako, Boss Ma and the other three rushed straight to the second floor. Xie Qinghe couldn't hold himself back and kicked the door open with a bang.
The door was kicked open and a woman screamed.
When Boss Ma and Fatty went in to take a look, there was no indescribable scene. Although the real Sayuri girl was not neatly dressed, she did not reveal her beauty. But suddenly a man broke in, which would surprise everyone.
But he saw a figure flash by the window again. One person seemed to be quite skilled, and he disappeared in an instant.
"I said, Brother Xie, are all your friends from Bashu so agile?" Master Senpo said with a smile.
"What to do? This turtle has escaped!" Xie Qinghe said anxiously.
…
When Liu Jun was resting in Sayuri's room, he heard a familiar voice downstairs - who was it if it wasn't Xie Qinghe?
He had done something wrong, and naturally he had a ghost in his heart. He immediately turned over, put on his coat, and jumped off the second floor the moment the door was kicked open.
Fortunately, the second floor was not high. Even though my ankles hurt a little, I couldn't care less. It was only right to run away quickly.
"Boss Ma really has a clever plan!"
A strange mandarin sound suddenly sounded in Liu Jun's ears. When he looked closely, he saw that three foreigners had surrounded him. It was Lefu, Bu Wei and Andlu of Tianma Yangxing.
