Chapter 41 "Thieves" are used to hit (middle) flying warehouse web

  "Afeng, why are you back so late?!" As Ichiyo Ito hurried to Consul General Oshima's office, Lin Aofeng walked into the villa. Hearing his younger brother-in-law's voice, Lin Aofeng smiled and said: "I just encountered something interesting on the way, so I was delayed!"

  "What's so fun about it?!" Cheng Zhihao muttered in puzzlement.

  "Ah!" Lin Aofeng walked to the side of Cheng Zhihao with a smile, telling him about what had happened in detail. After listening to Lin Aofeng's account, Cheng Zhihao sighed and said: "You little scoundrel, you really dare to take action!"

  Lin Aofeng was taken aback, blinking his eyes non-stop, and said: "What's there to be afraid of?! Is the little devil three-headed and six-armed, immune to swords and guns?!"

  Cheng Zhihao let out a bitter laugh and said: "Don't you fear revenge from those little Japanese?!"

  Lin Aofeng suddenly burst out laughing and asked, "Young uncle, do you know what it means to owe a lot of money?!" Seeing Cheng Zhihao looking stunned, Lin Aofeng explained, "I was already at odds with the Japanese when I was in Shanghai, let alone here in Germany, am I still afraid of them?!"

  "Cough!" Cheng Zhihao sighed and said with a defeated look, "Anyway, I can't control you. Since you've already made up your mind, just go ahead and do it boldly! But remember, do what you want to do, but don't leave any evidence behind!"

  Lin Ao Feng revealed a sly smile, reached out and hooked his arm around Cheng Zhi Hao's shoulder, saying: "Little uncle, I now find that you're becoming more and more cunning, with the potential of your grandfather."

  Cheng Zhihao tilted his head, looked at Lin Aofeng and said: "What kind of words are these?! I am originally your grandfather's son, it should be said that the blue comes out from the green and surpasses the green."

  "What is it that comes from the blue and surpasses the blue?!" Just as Cheng Zhihao and Lin Aofeng were chatting happily, Sito Meilan's voice came from behind them. Lin Aofeng turned around, laughing and calling out: "Auntie, you're not resting inside, why did you come out?!"

  Situ Meilan glared at Lin Ao Feng with a bad temper, then looked at her husband and said: "You still haven't answered me, what 'the blue comes out of the green and surpasses the green' means."

  Cheng Zhihao's mind turned and he said, "Just now Ah Feng was talking about our child. At three years old, one can see the future. Now they are so clever, in the future they will definitely not be ordinary. I say children resemble their mothers. Mothers are so clever, how could the children be inferior? They will surely surpass their parents."

  There isn't a woman in the world who doesn't like to be praised by others, especially by her own husband. At this moment, Si Tu Mei Lan's heart felt extremely pleased and sweet, but she still put on an unhappy face, glared at her husband and said: "Who knows what you two uncles are talking about? Don't think you can use flowery words to deceive me. For now, I'll let you off the hook, we'll settle this after dinner. I really admire you two, chatting outside for so long, aren't you hungry?"

  "Hungry! Hungry! Hungry! Of course I'm hungry!" Lin Aofeng said three "hungry" words in a row, then grinned at Cheng Zhihao and said: "Little brother-in-law, it seems your flattering skills are not up to par yet, you need more practice. I'll go in first, you communicate with sister-in-law some more, I won't disturb you!" After that, Lin Aofeng made a weird face at Sutu Meilan and ran in with three steps at once.

  "This kid!" Looking at Lin Ao Feng's back, Cheng Zhi Hao muttered in a bad tone and walked to his wife's side, saying: "Sorry, I made you worry!"

  Cui Mei Lan never thought that her husband would say such a thing at this time, and she was suddenly at a loss for what to do. She let out a helpless sigh and said: "Ever since you opened the pharmaceutical factory in America and started producing penicillin, I've been prepared for a day like today. As husband and wife, we are one body, why must you say such outsider words?"

  Cheng Zhihao gently stroked Situ Meilan's slightly plump body, gazing at the sunset on the horizon. He let out a soft sigh and said: "Having a wife like you, what more could I ask for? The most correct thing I've done in this lifetime is marrying you as my wife. If there's an afterlife, I'll definitely marry you again!"

  "Greedy ghost! You haven't even finished this life yet, and you're already thinking about the next one!" Xīu Měilán stretched out her slender fingers and tapped them on her husband's forehead, saying: "If you want me to marry you again in my next life, it depends on your performance in this life."

  Around 8 o'clock in the evening, Imai Ichiro and Yamaguchi Tamotsu arrived at the police station. They were led to a conference room by a female officer who was responsible for receiving them. After about half an hour, Bowers walked in from outside with a stack of files, looked around at Imai Ichiro and Yamaguchi Tamotsu, and said: "Sorry to keep you waiting."

  Imai Ichiro said calmly: "It doesn't matter! Can we take a look at those three corpses?!"

  Bao'er hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Alright! You wait for a while, I'll go make some arrangements." After that, Bao'er walked out of the conference room.

  "Vice-Consul, who do you think killed our people?!" Yamaguchi Yuzaburo suddenly asked.

  Imai Ichiro furrowed his brow and said: "I'm not sure either, let's take a look at the body first before making any judgments!"

  In the blink of an eye, a moment had passed. The female police officer who had just led them into the reception room walked back in from outside and said: "Gentlemen, Director Bao asked me to take you to the morgue, please follow me!"

  After walking for about twenty minutes, Imai Ichiro and Yamaguchi Tamotsu were taken to the morgue. Bowers, who had been waiting at the door, nodded to the policewoman to leave, then led Imai and Yamaguchi inside, lifting the white sheet that covered the three bodies. "The one on your side and the one in the middle died from having their necks twisted," he explained. "And the one closer to the back had his head shot from behind. We found a handgun made in your country at the scene - a Nambu Type 14. Through ballistic comparison, we confirmed that the bullet that killed the victim was fired from this gun."

  Imai Ichiro and Yamaguchi Tamotsu exchanged a glance, then Imai said: "Mr. Baur, these three people are all employees of our Japanese Consulate in Germany. I hope you can find the perpetrator as soon as possible and give us an explanation."

  "Bowen shrugged helplessly and said, 'We'll try to crack the case as soon as possible. As for when we can solve it and bring the culprit to justice, I'm not sure.'"

  "Excuse me, when can we take the body away?" Yamaguchi Yūzaburō suddenly asked.

  Bao Er hesitated for a moment and said: "Wait a minute, after you go out to do the formalities and pay the money, you can take it away at any time."

  "Yamaguchi-kun, wait here for a moment, I'll go pay now!" Saying so, Imai Ichirou looked at Boll. Boll smiled and said: "Please follow me."

  After Tokiwa and Imai Ichirō left, Yamaguchi Tamotsu took out a pair of thin rubber gloves for surgery from his pocket and began to bustle about.

  Thirty minutes later, Imai Ichiro returned alone to the morgue after paying the money and asked: "Yamaguchi-kun, is there any new discovery?!"

  Yamaguchi Tamotsu said calmly: "The Germans are very careful when examining the bodies, and there's basically no omissions. Let's go back!"

  Leaving the police station, Inoue Ichirō saw Yamaguchi Tamotsu staring blankly in the car and couldn't help but ask: "Yamaguchi-kun, what are you thinking about?!"

  Yamaguchi Tamotsu turned his head and looked at Imai Ichiro, saying: "I was just thinking about who killed the three of them. Nanbu-kun and I have just arrived from our hometown, and except for this afternoon, we've been together all the time, he didn't have any chance to make enemies with anyone."

  "Could it be that Minami-kun had a past grudge with someone?! Before Imai Ichirō's words fell, Yamaguchi Tamasaburō denied, "That's impossible. Perhaps..."

  "What is it?!" asked Imai Ichirō.

  Yamaguchi Tamotsu said: "I thought of a very terrible thing. It seems that we have all underestimated the power of that Chinese in Germany."

  "Are you saying that Nanbu and the others were killed by the Chinese?!". Imai Ichirō couldn't help but reveal a terrified expression. Yamaguchi Tamotsu, with an expressionless face, said: "I hope my judgment is wrong. However, whether or not Nanbu and the others were killed by the Chinese, for the sake of the penicillin formula, I cannot leave them behind. Vice-Consul, to avoid a long and sleepless night, I have decided to take action tomorrow evening. Can the weapons be provided in advance?"

  "No problem! Tomorrow at noon, come to the consulate to pick up your weapons." Inoue Ichirō promised with a serious expression.

  The next morning, Cheng Zhihao washed up and walked out of the room to the living room. As soon as he sat down, the servant brought tea over. Cheng Zhihao took the teacup and asked: "Where is Young Master Lin?"

  "The servant replied: 'Young Master Lin has gone out.'"

  "Has he left?!" Cheng Zhihao furrowed his brow and asked: "When did he leave?!"

  The servant replied: "It's been less than ten minutes. Young Master Lin seemed to be carrying a box when he left."

  "What's with the box?!" Cheng Zhihao muttered to himself, then came back to his senses and said: "You go down first!"

  "Yes!" The servant responded and left with the tray. Suddenly, a gleam of inspiration flashed through Cheng Zhihao's mind as he was drinking tea. He put down his teacup, took three steps in two strides up the stairs, entered Lin Ao Feng's room, opened the wardrobe, and found that the box containing the sniper rifle had disappeared.

  Cheng Zhihao involuntarily let out a cry of "It's bad!" and hastily left Lin Ao Feng's room, going downstairs to pick up the phone to make a call. Just then, the butler walked in front of Cheng Zhihao and said: "Master, Young Master Lin asked me to pass on a message to you when he left. He told you not to worry about him, he will be back soon."

  "I know!" Cheng Zhihao furrowed his brow slightly, put down the phone in his hand, and sat on the sofa in a daze.

  The car split in two, at a little past 8:00 am, Lin Ao-feng drove to the Japanese Consulate General in Germany and stopped the car diagonally opposite. Sitting in the car, Lin Ao-feng observed the surrounding terrain with the sniper rifle's scope and then drove the car behind the building opposite the Japanese Consulate General.

  He parked the car, and Lin Ao Feng walked into an unremarkable alley according to his memory from just now. He climbed up along the downspout of a building to the rooftop, found a suitable location, assembled the sniper rifle, and quietly waited for the target to appear.
