Everyone in the Qin family had been prepared for Qin Laoqi's death, so the funeral process began as soon as the person died.
Qin Lang decided to send Jiang Rou back and come back himself.
The Qin family is holding a funeral, and Jiang Rou is a stranger to me. It is inappropriate for her to stay. It is not a big problem for her to come and visit before she dies.
If you die, if you stay, that's another matter.
"You don't have to send me off, I can go back by myself." Jiang Rou turned around and said to Qin Lang at the door of the Qin family's old house.
"I'm worried about you going back alone so late." Qin Lang said.
"If something like this happened to your family, you should stay and help." Jiang Rou said, "I can do it. Didn't you send someone to follow me all the time to protect my safety?"
"Xiaorou, I..."
"I know that you are worried about my safety, but I also hope that I can have a little private space. Besides, I am not a weak little woman." Jiang Rou said.
"Then I'll ask someone to drive you back." Qin Lang no longer insisted, but put the bank deposit certificate that Qin Laoqi had just given him into Jiang Rou's hand, "You keep this for me, I'll put it on my body. Not safe."
】
Jiang Rou gave a surprised look, but did not refuse. Qin Lang's status in the Qin family was awkward. If someone tried to get the money, he would not be able to resist it alone.
It was not that he was greedy for the money, but that the money contained a piece of her mother's heart left to him. How could he let outsiders take it away?
It is essential to be on guard against others. He knows best who the boss of the Qin family is.
"I'll keep it for you first." Jiang Rou put the voucher into the small leather bag she carried with her, turned around and got into the car.
Qin Lang warned the driver and watched the car leave before turning back to the Qin family's old house. At this time, the door of the old house had been hung with a white cloth.
…
"Eat slowly, you're probably starving. The Qin family is really like this. Even if someone dies, you can't just ignore the food, right?"
Zhou Sen was very dissatisfied.
If he were here, there would be no way he would allow Jiang Rou to go back with Qin Lang. Things are like this now. Fortunately, Qin Lang was able to carry them back and send them back.
If he left Jiang Rou in the Qin family's old house, he would have to beat Qin Lang.
It's against the rules and a complete bullying to go and watch someone's funeral before anything else has happened.
"Brother, Qin Lang's father was angry. He could have lived a little longer." Jiang Rou said.
Zhou Sen's expression became strange.
At this time, if Qin Laoqi can be angry, it may be related to his sealing of "Qunfang Building".
Is this old guy so angry?
Of course, it may not be related to the seizure of "Qunfang Building", so why should I take the responsibility on myself.
Besides, this is not your responsibility at all. It was Qin Xiong who provoked you first, so don't blame yourself for taking revenge.
However, once Qin Laoqi dies, I am afraid that I will not be able to be cruel to "Qunfang Tower". Although I am reasonable, people in the Qin family have died, and the concept of "the dead are the most important" is deeply ingrained.
Of course, Qin Laoqi has done many evil things and is not a good person, but Zhou Sen still wants to stay in the pseudo-police system, so he has to consider this.
The death of Qin Laoqi will definitely become a big event in Bingcheng.
Qin Lang had a falling out with Qin Laoqi and Qin Xiong, but he did not take the initiative to sever the relationship between father and son. It was Qin Laoqi who severed the relationship between father and son.
Now Qin Laoqi called him back before he died. He obviously wanted to recognize his son. Qin Xiong did not stop him, probably because he was afraid that the reputation of being "unfilial" would spread.
It also gave Qin Lang an excuse to come and cause trouble.
Qin Xiong is a person who wants to be a bitch and build a memorial arch at the same time. This is consistent with his usual disguise.
Qin Xiong has always had a good reputation, and his evil deeds are not obvious. Most people think that he is much gentler than Qin Laoqi, a ruthless old guy.
"Brother, tomorrow there will be a mourning hall in the Qin family's old house to accept condolences from people from all walks of life. Will you go?" Jiang Rou asked.
"You want to say that the dead are the most important. Qin Lao and the other seven are all dead, so there is no harm in going to express condolences, right?" Zhou Sen said.
"Brother, I know Qin Xiong has been against you many times, but Qin Lang's father..."
"There are some things you don't know. Qin Laoqi once had an idea for your sister-in-law and wanted to take her as his eighth concubine. Do you think I will still come to express my condolences?" Zhou Sen asked in return.
"Ah..." Jiang Rou was surprised. She really didn't know about this. No one had ever told her about it.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I don't know."
"It's no wonder if you don't know." Zhou Sen nodded, "If you want to express your condolences, I won't stop you, but you have to think carefully."
"Brother, I know." Jiang Rou nodded.
"It's getting late, go back and rest."
…
"Qin Laoqi is really dead?" After the child was one month old, the frequency of feeding at night became less frequent, and Bai Yulan also moved back to the small building upstairs.
The small living room outside was transformed into a baby room, and a single bed was arranged for the wet nurse Xiumei to sleep outside.
In this way, Bai Yulan could go out on her own to nurse at night without disturbing Zhou Sen's sleep. Naturally, she didn't have to separate anyone.
Even though he could sleep on the same bed, Zhou Sen still abided by the principle and did not touch Bai Yulan during the breastfeeding period. He could not leave her body with hidden diseases for the sake of a night of fun.
"This thing can't be true. Xiaorou has seen it with her own eyes. The news will come out early tomorrow morning. Let's see how exciting it is." Zhou Sen said.
"This old guy has done too many immoral things. It would be better if he died."
"Forget it, don't talk about him anymore, go to sleep." Zhou Sen turned over and hugged Bai Yulan. He had not slept with his wife in his arms for a long time, and he really missed her.
…
Wenchang Bridge, Su Zhai.
Su Wenqing also learned about Qin Laoqi's death, but it was already morning. Although he was mentally prepared, he was surprised to hear it suddenly.
Get out of the warm bed.
Su Wenqing put on a coat and came to the study, calling Su Xing over.
"Qin Laoqi finally died. This day has finally come. It's my turn in Ice City, Su Wenqing." Su Wenqing looked up to the sky and sighed. Although he was elected as the president of the Ice City General Chamber of Commerce, Qin Laoqi... The honorary president always puts pressure on him. Although Qin Laoqi no longer exercises the power of the president, it is not always comfortable to have such a person above him.
"Master, Master Qin Qi is gone, do you want to go and express condolences?" Su Xing reminded Su Wenqing.
"First confirm the authenticity of the news before making a decision." Su Wenqing said, "I have to go to the house to express my condolences, but when to go, you have to think carefully."
"I'll go check it out right away."
"Wait a minute, please help me make an appointment with Officer Zhou Sen. Tell him that I have something important to meet with him to discuss in detail. It will be at noon today. If he is not free, I can also do it in the evening."
"Where is the location?"
"I remember there is a good mutton restaurant on Haicheng Street. Let's make an appointment there." Su Wenqing thought for a moment and said.
"OK."
…
After agreeing to Ono's offer, Zhou Sen had to go to No. 3 Yiyuan Road to see how Zuo Tengying would react.
This was not something he considered.
In any case, as long as Ono was not letting people go, he had nothing to do. He couldn't come to rob people. Even if he wanted to rob people, he didn't know where to rob them.
"Thanks to Director Ono's reminder, the office conditions and protection conditions I can provide are limited. If these people go to my office now, I won't have that many manpower in a short time in terms of security, and I can't accommodate that many people."
"Well, what's your solution?"
"Well, I'll stay with Director Ono for the time being. I'll hurry up and renovate the office space on Youyi Road and try to move in as early as possible."
"How many more days do you need?"
"If we work day and night, it will take at least a month."
"Not one month, twenty days at most!" Wu Tengying glanced at Zhou Sen and said in a commanding tone.
"Yes, I will try my best to adjust and optimize the time to ensure that we can move in in twenty days." Zhou Sen nodded hurriedly.
"Well, you go ahead." Wu Tengying also knew that Zhou Sen couldn't force Ono to let go. He could force Ono to let go. But in this way, he would inevitably have a bad relationship with Ono. It's what he doesn't want to see.
Anyway, Zhou Sen's intelligence room won't achieve anything for a while. Moreover, the base camp also intends to sign a non-aggression treaty with the Soviet side, so there is no problem in suspending it.
Return to the Police Department from No. 3 Yiyuan Road.
"Brother Sen, Su Wenqing's housekeeper came to see you just now. Since you were not here, I sent him back." Anna was stationed in the intelligence room, and Yao Yumei became her part-time assistant at the police station.
"Didn't he say anything?"
"No, I didn't say anything when I saw you weren't here."
"Okay, I understand, go ahead and do your work." Zhou Sen estimated that Su Xing came to him because it was related to Qin Laoqi's death.
Su Wenqing wanted to see him to discuss what happened after Qin Laoqi's death.
Back in the office, he thought about it, picked up the phone on the table, and made a call to Su Wenqing.
"Okay, I understand. Let's meet at noon for a talk."
At noon, Wu En drove and Zhou Sen came to the Laoshengjia Mutton Restaurant on Haicheng Road that Su Wenqing had agreed to have.
Zhou Sen has not been to this store for a while. If it is summer, it is not suitable for eating mutton. It is autumn and there are only a few days, so I am too busy to take care of it.
Su Wenqing actually decided to host his guests here, which is enough to show that this guy is really serious.
However, I am also a little uneasy and kind-hearted.
"boss."
"Oh, Officer Zhou, you're here. President Su is waiting for you inside." Zhou Sen was a regular customer in the past, so the boss knew him when he saw him. Su Wenqing is a celebrity in Ice City, and it's hard not to recognize them. When I got up to eat at my own shop, the boss didn't even bother to greet me.
"Yeah." Zhou Sen nodded and went straight inside. Su Wenqing must have booked the best box.
Sure enough, the door to the best box inside opened, and Su Wenqing was sitting directly opposite the door. When he saw Zhou Sen entering, he immediately stood up to greet him.
"President Su, it's just the two of us, let's stop saying polite words." Zhou Sen took off his coat, hung it on the hanger at the door, walked over, sat down, and asked directly, "Come to me, what do you want? "
"Qin Laoqi is dead, do you know this?" Su Wenqing asked when he saw Su Xing coming in with him, pouted, and gestured for him to close the door.
"I know, how can I know about such a big thing? I heard about it when I arrived at the police station in the morning." Zhou Sen nodded. He did hear a lot of discussion when he arrived at the police station in the morning.
"Then what are you going to do next, go to express condolences?"
"Condolences, President Su, don't you know my relationship with the Qin family? I don't care if others go to express their condolences. I won't go," Zhou Sen said.
"Indeed, you and Qin Xiong are now at odds with each other. Although Qin Laoqi has no grudge against you, he does have a grudge against your boss Bai. There is no possibility of the two of you fighting for friendship. If you go to express your condolences, then She can only look for trouble." Su Wenqing nodded, "However, Qin Laoqi is the honorary president of the General Chamber of Commerce, and your boss Bai is now the vice president of the chamber of commerce. It is not convenient for her to go, so you can always Do you want to go there on her behalf?"
"I won't go." Zhou Sen still said the same thing. The death of Qin Laoqi at this moment has severely frustrated his plan to retaliate against Qin Xiong. He still ran over to express his condolences. Does he have such a big stomach and mood?
At Qunfang Tower, it would be difficult for him to press forward step by step, which would bring negative publicity to himself.
Moreover, once Qin Laoqi dies, will his relatives in Xinjing come to Bingcheng to attend his funeral? Once Jin Ronggui comes back, based on his prestige in the Bingcheng police circles, he will be under unprecedented pressure.
The seizure of Qunfang Building and its follow-up may go to waste. When the time comes, not even Shibuya Saburo will let him continue to work hard.
It was a good death for Qin Laoqi to die at this time.
But this time the Qin family's misfortunes may not come singly.
"How many days can you keep the Qunfang Building closed?" Su Wenqing asked.
"Why, what do you think, President Su?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Sen knew what Su Wenqing was thinking.
"Can you let me arrange for people to come in? I want to recruit some people?"
"Poaching people, President Su, you are taking advantage of others." Zhou Sen chuckled. Su Wenqing also had a romantic place under his name, but he couldn't do it in Qunfang Tower. Now that Qunfang Tower is facing the crisis of closure, it is just the right time to poach someone. opportunity, "I'm afraid your wishful thinking is wrong. If the top girl is a girl, she has signed a deep binding contract, and you can't dig her out."
"I won't move on the top one, but as for the ones below the top one, I know that several contracts are about to expire. If you come to our club, you will get good treatment." Su Wenqing said.
The three pillar industries of the Qin family are Fengyue, gambling and tobacco cream. This tobacco cream must be approved by the Japanese. Su Wenqing actually doesn’t want to compete with the Qin family. This thing damages moral integrity and earns money. Most of the money went to the Japanese.
Although the dangers of sex and gambling are not small, they are much less harmful than smoking cigarettes. Gambling shops are for money but not life. This cigarette cream is both money and life, and it is completely unscrupulous.
This is one of the reasons why Zhou Sen can't beat Qin Xiong to death with a stick. The Japanese don't care too much about gambling houses and Fengyue business. After all, the money earned is limited and cannot be controlled, but this big smoke cream is different. .
The Japanese control the source and production, but they only control the distribution channels. They also know that this thing is harmful to morality, so they don't do it themselves and leave it to the Chinese. Anyway, they will sell less, so how much money can they make? The number is within their control.
But in the opium ointment business, the Japanese made the majority of the profits, while distributors like the Qin family only made a hard-earned profit.
But for the Qin family, this business must be maintained even if it does not make money, because only by mastering this channel can they have a close relationship with the Japanese and obtain support and protection from other aspects.
"I can make it easier for you, but it's up to you how far you can go." Zhou Sen didn't mind if Su Wenqing poached Qin Xiong.
"Okay, let's eat first and chat while we eat."
