Chapter 115: Let's close the case(1/2)
The next day is April 5th, Qingming Festival.
When they woke up early in the morning, Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing prepared sacrifices and paper money for visiting the grave, and had already made an appointment with Meng Hao to visit the grave together.
The mother of Meng Fanxing and Meng Hao has passed away for three years.
The family had breakfast early and went to the public cemetery with sacrifices and paper money.
Lu Xiyan's parents were buried together, next to the tombs of the mother of the Meng family, two brothers and sisters, but the tombstones of Lu Xiyan's parents looked newer.
According to the rules, weeds on the grave can be removed only on the day of visiting the grave on Qingming Festival.
Lu Xiyan, Meng Fanxing and Meng Hao worked hard for a long time and finally cleaned up the two graves.
Place wine, food, ingots, and candles.
Burn incense and worship!
"Dad, mom, my son is here to see you. Are you doing well underground?" Lu Xiyan knelt in front of his parents' grave with a thunderous sound.
"Son, I cannot be filial to my filial piety before I die. I can only be loyal to the country in the future. Don't worry, your two elders, you must repay the blood debt with blood. My son will definitely do everything possible to avenge you." Lu Xiyan had already thought about it. If you want to survive in this chaotic world, you have to fight.
Only by fighting can we have a future, not for ourselves, but also for future generations, for the country, and for the nation.
"Meimei, come here!"
Meng Fanxing heard the call and walked slowly over.
"Dad, mom, this is Meimei, the girl from Uncle Meng's family. She grew up together since childhood. Now she is engaged to her son and is your daughter-in-law." Lu Xiyan said, holding Meng Fanxing's hand.
Meng Fanxing's legs bent and he also knelt down.
"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, you have loved me since you were a child and love me as your own daughter. Don't worry, I will always be that plum blossom." Meng Fanxing kowtowed three times.
Meng Xiangsheng and Meng Hao and his son also made everything, and Meng Hao knelt down and kowtowed to his mother.
"Meimei, I'll go over and kowtow to Aunt Meng, too." Lu Xiyan helped Meng Fanxing stand up.
Lu Xiyan also knelt in front of Meng Yao's tombstone and kowtowed three times respectfully. Meng Fanxing could no longer suppress his emotions and cried out in a lost voice.
"Mom, it's my daughter who is unfilial..."
The mother died a lot because she ran away from home, and her son wanted to support her, but her parents were gone, not to mention that her daughter had a better relationship with her mother.
How sad is she feeling when she is back now and her mother is gone?
"Meimei, get up. Aunt Meng is aware of you. She will definitely be very happy to see you safely." Lu Xiyan helped Meng Fanxing up, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Brother An Zi, am I very unfilial?" Meng Fanxing said with tears in his eyes.
"Meimei, you can't say that. You are also for your ideals and beliefs. You didn't expect that Aunt Meng would be so depressed because of your run away from home, and she would die of depression." Lu Xiyan sighed.
"Sister, before leaving, mom told me that as long as you can go home, she won't blame you, and she also told me and dad not to blame you." Meng Hao persuaded from the side.
"Xiaohao, does mom really say that?"
"If you don't believe me, please ask your dad to go. When my mom is dying in the hospital, it's all my dad to be with me." Meng Hao said to Meng Xiangsheng.
Meng Xiangsheng's eyes were a little wet, he did not refute, and Meng Fanxing did not continue to ask.
In fact, Meng Fanxing's personality is very similar to Meng Xiangsheng in some aspects, but Meng Xiangsheng's stubbornness is reflected outside, while Meng Fanxing is in his bones.
"Let's go back, let's go back. Let's not open the fire today, find a restaurant to have a meal." Meng Xiangsheng said.
After returning from visiting the grave, Meng Fanxing returned to his home. Lu Xiyan thought there would be a rare afternoon.
But when he saw the Fiat 518 parked at the entrance of the pharmacy, Lu Xiyan knew that his idea of taking a break was ruined.
"Hi!"
"Doctor Lu?" Ma Xiaowu was almost asleep sitting in the car. He was suddenly frightened by the sound of knocking on the window. When he saw that it was Lu Xiyan, he was about to get off the car.
"Sit over and I'll drive." Lu Xiyan opened the door and ordered.
Ma Xiaowu quickly moved his butt and leaned towards the side.
"Where is the old Tangren?"
"In the Windsor Hotel." Ma Xiaowu said.
"He won't ask you to ask me to play mahjong, right?" Lu Xiyan turned his head and asked. Tang Jin had leisure, but he didn't have this time.
"The Inspector only told me to pick you up, I don't know the others." Ma Xiaowu smiled embarrassedly.
"Okay." Lu Xiyan couldn't help but feel speechless. No matter what it was, he must have gone there.
This Windsor hotel on Aidoya Road seems to be a safe base for Tang Jin. Otherwise, Tang Jin would not have chosen such a place to meet him.
"The Inspector has a long-term private room on the third floor."
"Is it the one we came to play mahjong last time?"
"Yes, Doctor Lu, I just found out..." Ma Xiaowu explained embarrassedly.
"It's okay, I can understand, I don't blame you." Lu Xiyan smiled. Tang Jin's identity is not that simple. It is normal for him to not let his subordinates know about it if he has a secret.
Dongdong...
The person who opened the door was Qi Huan. When he saw Lu Xiyan, he hurriedly welcomed the person in.
In addition to Tang Jin and Qi Huan, there was another person in the room, who was in a face. Lu Xiyan had never seen this person in the Central Police Station.
"Old Cao, get up and pick up customers!"
The man on the other side smiled and stood up and clasped his fists at Lu Xiyan, saying, "Hello Consultant Lu, Cao Bin, do errands under Detective Tang."
"Old Lu, Lao Cao is my best friend's inquiries. In the future, you need to inquire about any information, just look for him." Tang Jin smiled and introduced.
Lu Xiyan has come back to the point. Tang Jin wants to pull him into the group, otherwise how could he introduce such an important person under his command to him?
"Consultant Lu made a big splash in the French guild last night. George of Jardinet Foreign Company was bombarded by Mr. Thor for offending Consultant Lu, and he also deprived of the membership of the French guild." Cao Bin smiled.
"The news spread quite quickly..." Lu Xiyan smiled. So many people saw what happened in the French Guild Hall last night, which was not a secret. However, in different circles, information is not circulated to the outside world. Cao Bin could know so clearly, and obviously he is not an ordinary person.
"Brother Lu, come here, I will be my own brother from now on. Don't be so polite, sit down and talk." Tang Jin smiled and greeted him.
They all sat down on the sofa.
"Old Cao, say it."
"Yes, Inspector." Cao Bin nodded, "About the murder case of Lu Banlu's clever hand hardware and tools store, we issued a reward to the public based on the relevant characteristics of the suspect provided by consultant Lu and the forensic department. We received many relevant clues, and after detailed investigation and analysis, we finally found that a person was a major suspect in the crime."
Tang Jin and Qi Huan didn't speak, obviously they had heard Cao Bin say it a long time ago, so Lu Xiyan didn't know it yet. Cao Bin actually said these words to him.
"Who is it?"
"Lame A Qi, this man is about forty years old, has been a soldier, has injured his right foot and his ankle was pierced by a bullet, so he limped his right foot and has no right little finger. He was cut off by usury in the early years..."
"This person was originally watching the venue in the gambling halls such as Rongxing in western Shanghai, and there were dozens of people under his command. However, since noon at 30, the day before the incident, no one has seen them in those gambling halls and the big opium halls. At the same time, two of his confidants were missing. So, it is obvious that there is no silver here." Cao Bin said.
"Where are people, have you found them?"
"If you find it, you'll hide in the Toyota Stone Mill on Kisifel Road."
"The Japanese yarn mill?" Although Lu Xiyan had known the news for a long time, he still pretended to be "surprised".
"That's right, it's a yarn mill run by the Japanese. If this guy hadn't been unable to help but adjust the female worker in the yarn mill, I'm afraid she wouldn't have discovered it." Cao Bin explained.
"What are you waiting for? Catch people?"
"Consultant Lu, that's not in the French Concession, it's a place where three people are not in, and the power is complicated. Before our people have entered, they discovered it." Qi Huan said, "Besides, there is no direct evidence to support speculation now."
"Can we get in the Japanese yarn mill?" Tang Jin paused.
"What should I do? The case will not be solved?"
"That's why we invited Brother Lu, please come over and help us consult, to see if we can think of a solution, which can not only prevent crossing the line, but also catch people." Tang Jin said.
"Brother Tang, this arrest is your legal arrest. I will be responsible for technical support at most. Do you think too much of me?" Lu Xiyan shouted.
"Aren't these three cobblers? They are better than Zhuge Liang. The wisdom of three people is stronger than that of one person, and the four people are stronger than that of three. Brother Lu, please come here to help you advise." Tang Jin explained.
"What good can I do?" Lu Xiyan said, "Or, you can discuss with Ichiro Asano directly, let him come forward to coordinate, or ask the public concession to assist in arresting people?"
All four of them fell silent.
This person is really not easy to "catch". Just like the case written by Master Cai, I know who did it, but I just can't catch anyone. Until now, I don't know where the body is except for the head.
What can you do if the Japanese instruct and cover up behind their backs?
The same is true for the case of Lu Banlu Hardware and Tools. In order to provoke an internal fight between the Military Control Commission and the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group, the Japanese deliberately found someone to disguise themselves as the people of the Hutou Gang to take over the military control base.
As for the three "suspects" that Jin Jiu found, I am afraid that this was instructed by the Japanese, who deliberately poured dirty water on the "Iron Blood Anti-Trait Group".
Fortunately, this has become a joke.
"Inspector, I think this person would definitely not be able to catch him if he hides in the Toyota cotton mill. We have to find a way to lure him out." Qi Huan said.
"This is how it leads out?" Qi Huan's words make sense. It is almost impossible for the police officers in the French arresting house to go to the Toyota cotton mill to arrest people, but if they come out, it will be different and the difficulty will be much smaller.
"Why are there any relatives or affection outside Aqi at this foot of the slope?"
"This guy has no relatives in Shanghai. As for women, they are all dewy couples and have no feelings at all." Cao Bin said.
"Then this is difficult. If this guy kept hiding in the Toyota cotton mill, we would have no idea about him." Qi Huan said gritting his teeth.
