…
twilight.
Liu Benshan stood in front of the window, staring at the pedestrians on the street below.
It was difficult for him to choose between saving his brother-in-law and losing his job.
If my brother-in-law is gone, he is gone.
But if the defense map of Bingcheng is handed over to the Northeastern Army, failure to keep it complete will result in the loss of one's job, or even one's life in serious cases.
He thought for a few seconds, then walked to his desk and picked up the phone.
He dialed a familiar number.
Before the call was connected, Liu Benshan's expression suddenly became serious.
A woman's voice soon came over the phone: "Benshan, is that you, Benshan? How is my brother?"
"Have you found anyone else?"
The woman held the phone anxiously.
Recently.
She felt like she was running out of tears.
So far, I don’t know whether my brother is dead or alive.
Ouch!
Liu Benshan sighed and said in a deep voice: "Cuilan, I'm telling you, you must hold on..."
When he said "hold on", Liu Benshan deliberately increased his tone.
His mood suddenly became sad, "Commander, he was killed by those bastards from the Northeast Army."
…
boom!
Wang Cuilan was stunned.
She suddenly felt like her brain was in a blur, and the phone in her hand fell out of her hand and fell on the table with a bang.
"Cuilan."
"Are you okay Cuilan? I knew I shouldn't tell you this."
"Don't worry, the Locust Army will definitely make the decision for us. Everyone at the Bingcheng Police Department will not let go of the murderer of the commander!!"
…
"Daughter-in-law, wait for me, I'll go home right away."
Liu Benshan hung up the phone.
He rushed out of the room.
He bumped into Qin Tai who was about to enter the room to report work.
Liu Benshan adjusted his glasses and said, "There was a tip-off just now that the Northeast Army killed my brother-in-law. I want to go home now, and you will stay here to guard me."
He finished giving instructions to Qin Tai.
Instead, head straight for the stairs.
Seeing Liu Benshan's panic, Qin Tai lowered his head and looked at the telegram in his hand.
The header of the telegram read: Release Marshal Wang at a later date.
…
Qin Tai was a little confused.
After all, who is telling lies?
Liu Benshan returned to the room. He looked at the woman who fainted in front of the sofa in the living room, and stepped forward to help her, "Cuilan."
Wang Cuilan opened her eyes.
She stared at Liu Benshan with a pair of red pupils, "Is the Marshal really dead?"
Liu Benshan:...
He nodded heavily, then picked up Wang Cuilan, "Don't worry, I won't let the commander-in-chief die in vain, I will definitely make the Northeast Army pay the price!!"
…
Oil City front finger.
Ye Anran hung up the phone to the newspaper office in Oil City.
By the way, I sent a telegram to Dazhong Daily.
On the front page of the newspaper, it was announced that Marshal Wang, a pseudo-policeman from the Bingcheng Police Department, would be released.
Ma Jinhai sat aside.
He couldn't understand the operation.
Previously, he said that Liu Benshan would be given Bingcheng’s defense map in exchange.
Are you about to let the person go in a second?
"If I had known you were going to let him go, I wouldn't have bothered to get him back."
…
Ye Anran raised the corner of his mouth.
"When did I say let him go?"
"It's an announcement..."
Ma Jinhai: "..."
Isn’t it the same?
The next day.
The Ice City Police Department issued a reward announcement.
A reward of 10,000 yuan is offered for the capture of the murderer Ye Anran.
At the same time, they posted notices throughout the city regarding Ye Anran's crimes.
One of them pointed out that Ye Anran killed Wang Dashuai, a senior official of the Bingcheng Police Department, for no reason.
…
Ice City Gendarmerie.
With great sadness, Liu Benshan asked for leave from the military police commander Chishima Taro.
Chishima Taro looked at the black armband on Liu Benshan's arm.
He walked up to Liu Benshan and bowed deeply to him.
"Director Liu."
"You will always be a friend to our Empire."
"Please grief."
"I will take all the senior officers of the gendarmerie to attend Marshal Wang's funeral to express my highest respect to him."
Chishima Taro bowed deeply towards Liu Benshan again.
…
Liu Benshan's face was solemn, "Thank you, Colonel Qiandao."
"You can attend my brother-in-law's funeral. I believe that his spirit in heaven will be proud of you."
"Thanks."
…
Liu Benshan was very excited.
With the commander of the gendarmerie endorsing him, his status in Ice City could rise to a higher level.
The wealthy merchants in Bingcheng will all attend his brother-in-law's funeral.
At that time it will just be a gift.
It would be enough for him to have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Not only that.
My brother-in-law's funeral will be even more glorious.
Chishima Taro patted Liu Benshan on the shoulder and said, "Take care."
"Hai."
Liu Benshan left the military police headquarters after responding.
…
Back to the car.
Qin Tai, who was sitting in the cab, looked back at Liu Benshan and said, "Director, this is today's newspaper."
Liu Benshan snorted coldly: "Don't look at it, every day is just trivial nonsense."
Qin Tai glanced at the newspaper in his hand, "You'd better read it."
Just when Liu Benshan was about to lose his temper, he saw the Northeast Army's announcement on the recent release of the criminal Marshal Wang from the front page of the newspaper.
Suddenly.
Liu Benshan felt his scalp numb.
He looked up at Qin Tai, frowned and said, "Where did the newspaper come from?"
"Bought on the street."
…
Liu Benshan's face darkened, "If this newspaper gets into the hands of the Locust Army, you and I will both be finished!!"
"Go quickly, summon everyone in the police department, and buy up all the newspapers in Bingcheng for me."
…
Qin Tai was stunned.
He looked back at Liu Benshan and said, "Director, do you really want to hold a funeral for the Marshal?"
Liu Benshan's sinister eyes glared at Qin Tai, and he said in a deep voice: "Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
…
"Excuse me!"
Sudden.
The shouts of the newspaper boy came from outside the window.
Liu Benshan quickly opened the car door. He walked up to the newspaper seller and looked at the newspaper in his hand. "I bought them all."
He took out a dollar from his pocket and threw it to the child.
Take the newspaper and turn around and leave.
The newspaper seller looked at the man who turned around and left, "Sir, the money you gave me is not enough to buy a copy..."
"You're a person who rides in a big car, you won't even fool a child, right?"
…
Liu Benshan:...
He turned around and looked at the child who was asking for money, "One dollar can't buy you a few tattered newspapers?"
"Are you crazy?"
When he was about to open the car door, the child suddenly shouted loudly: "No, no, no, everyone, come and see, there are people here who buy newspapers without paying, no, no, no..."
…
People walking on the street and a group of people pulling rickshaws suddenly stopped.
It’s okay for the Japanese to bully the Chinese people.
Damn it!
Chinese people also bully Chinese people! !
Liu Benshan got into the car.
He looked at the growing crowd of people outside and said in a deep voice, "Go and give him the money."
Qin Tai: "Yes!"
He got out of the car and walked up to the newspaper seller, "Stop shouting. I'll give you the price."
…
The newspaper seller looked up at the man and said, "A newspaper costs 10 yuan. That gentleman just took away 100 copies..."
Qin Tai:......
"Little brat, I'll give you a chance, you can say it again!!"
He was furious.
Qin Tai pointed at the kid selling newspapers, "It's ten yuan a piece. Are you trying to steal money?!"
