The First Volume: The Hollow Spirit Chapter 42: Tianfu Blood Case

  "I've got the newspaper! The latest news, the case of the French concession soldier being killed has new developments, the situation is confusing and unclear." Because he was delayed by two little rascals, Wang Yaizu left home too late, many people on the street were already busy. The newspaper boy was shouting loudly, only when they sold all the newspapers in their hands could they have a full meal.

  "Give me a newspaper." Wang Ya-zu now wanted to know how Anthony wrote articles in the newspaper, so he bought a copy of Shen Bao. Normally, Wang Ya-zu wouldn't buy newspapers, as there were always copies from that day in the office, from all the news agencies.

  Everything was published as proposed by Wang Yaowu, the first thing to be announced is that the killer of French soldiers is a professional killer; The second is that the wallet of the murdered French soldier was found behind the consulate in the concession. Of course, yesterday's actions will not be reported in the newspaper, and the Japanese side will not admit that the killed people are their spy members.

  It seems like there's nothing more to see, so Wang Yaoyu is about to put away the newspaper and head to work on his bike. Although Shi An'guo should be in a pretty good mood now, he's still the old stone, and even small mistakes can make him angry when he sees them, let alone that the person who escaped has not been caught yet, which must have caused Shi An'guo to lose an internal line.

  Wang Yaoyu put the newspaper in the bicycle basket, just about to pedal, a gust of wind blew over, blowing the newspaper, and in an instant of rapid page-turning, Wang Yaoyu's eyes flashed through the two words "Tianfu". Wang Yaoyu immediately put his feet back on the ground, picked up the newspaper again, and soon found a headline with four small black characters on one page: "Tianfu Blood Case"!

  Wang Ya-zu parked the car to one side and carefully examined its contents. The newspaper reported that a murder case had occurred at Tianfu Hotel yesterday, in which 17 innocent civilians, including the owner and his wife, were killed by Communist Party members who tried to hide their conspiracy during the arrest process. One of the victims was also pregnant, resulting in two deaths. The Shanghai Garrison Command and the Shanghai Municipal Government severely condemned this incident and warned all citizens not to harbor Communist Party members, lest they encounter danger. However, the newspaper did not mention how many Communist Party members were arrested or killed, clearly indicating that Shi An-guo was deliberately blocking the news, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

  After reading the report, Wang Ya-zu's first reaction was to mourn in silence for the 17 people who died, especially the pregnant woman. Wang Ya-zu did not believe that the 17 people who died were at fault. He knew his colleagues and the police department's methods all too well. However, there was nothing he could do to change this, nor could he stop it. If anyone was to blame, it would have to be the misfortune of the 17 people who happened to live in the Tianfu Hotel.

  Everyone in the office is in high spirits, having completed yesterday's task very well. Not a single person was missing from the office, which not only earned them merit but also possibly praise from the Nanjing side. This also dealt with Old Stone, so they don't have to be on tenterhooks anymore and can relax for a while. When the time comes, everyone will do what they need to do, and there's money to be made all over Shanghai.

  "Good morning, Deputy Director Wang." "Good morning, Deputy Director Wang." "Good morning, Deputy Director Wang."

  As Wang Ya-zu walked in, a large crowd of people were all greeting him. In a series of actions, Wang Ya-zu felt that his position within the company had risen again. But Wang Ya-zu was also clear that it was all temporary. The power to investigate the company is great, and with greater power comes greater interest; the greater the interest, the more intense the struggle becomes.

  "Hey, Maozi, what time did you guys move out yesterday? I don't understand many things, but the incident was reported, Tianfu Blood Case! This is too big of a deal!" Wang Yaoyu sat back in his own seat, Leyuxin was reciting Buddhist scriptures beside him, obviously to help the people who died yesterday ascend. Wang Yaoyu was really worried now, what if Leyuxin quit one day and left the investigation department?

  It's precisely because of Le Yuhxin, the deputy general manager who doesn't fight for anything and only helps others with documents and reports, that Wang Yaowu can be so relaxed. If one day Le Yuhxin really quits and leaves, someone must take over as the new deputy general manager. If it's someone sent from Nanjing, it won't be easy to cooperate; if it's promoting Tie Tou or Mao Zi from within the department, not only will the department be in chaos, but the person promoted will directly become a competitor to Wang Yaowu, posing a threat to him. Tie Tou and Mao Zi are currently just group leaders and don't pose an actual threat to Wang Yaowu, but if they're promoted to deputy general manager, the situation would be different.

  "At 11 o'clock in the morning, just before lunch, we made our move. At that time, the Communist Party members were having a meeting at the inn, and the owner and his wife were also Communist Party members, so we suspected those guys were too. To prevent any of them from escaping, we first sealed off the entire inn, then opened fire on the place where the Communist Party was holding its meeting. Those inside had guns, but unfortunately their firepower wasn't as strong as ours. The batch of guns you left behind last time, Vice-Branch Director Wang, were a huge help, especially those two submachine guns - it felt great to be shooting them. Of the ten borrowed police officers, only three suffered minor injuries. This operation, everyone inside was killed." Maozi said excitedly, gesturing with his hands.

  "Oh, that's good. But this time it seems like things have gone a bit too far, haven't they? Seventeen people in the inn, and one of them is even pregnant, isn't that a bit too cruel?" Wang Ya-zu himself had killed people, but he didn't like senseless slaughter of innocents.

  "No way, that was Shi Gu's order. In order not to let a single Communist suspect escape, Shi Gu said he couldn't determine how many Communist suspects were in the hotel, so they had to do it this way. That pregnant woman was still my doing, for which I went to the temple at night and donated 30 yuan of incense money, and also asked the old monk to recite the prayer for the dead three times. Anyway, now everything is being pushed onto the Communists, which is also a good propaganda."

  This is the status of 17 lives in people's eyes, very helpless. But if it were Wang Ya-zu himself, Wang Ya-zu thought he would also give such an order. The reason is also simple, that is, a suspected communist cannot be let go. If someone escapes, then the people in the investigation team will be in danger themselves.

  "Hey, Le Da Ge, you don't seem too happy? You also think this time it's a bit overboard?" Mao Zi said and left. Wang Yao Zu noticed that Le Yu Xin beside him was getting angry, his hands holding the Buddhist beads were trembling, and there was a faint wound on Le Yu Xin's forehead.

  "Killing or not killing, it's all in a split second. Originally, they could have been taken alive, but they all ended up dead." Leyu's heart seemed to not want to talk about this matter anymore, and with his bad mood, he continued reciting the Buddhist scriptures.

  However, Wang Yaowu was reminded by Le Yuxin. On the surface, Wang Yaowu said: "Lao Shitou is a military personnel, and some sacrifices for the greater good are acceptable to him. Moreover, there must be Communist Party members among those seventeen people, it's just that those innocent people who died are pitiful. In the end, everything was pushed onto the Communist Party, but it can also be said that those innocent people were killed by those Communist Party members. Anyway, I'll go find Lao Shitou first, there are some things to discuss with him. The trouble from the foreign side is not over yet."

  Wang Yaoyu stood up, and at this time Wang Yaoyu finally understood why Shi Anguo wanted to issue a kill order. On the one hand, it was to prevent any communist suspects from escaping; on the other hand, it was to leave no survivors, so that the people in the Garrison Command could obtain such accurate information, there must be an internal line of theirs planted in Tianfu Hotel, or even a traitor from that group of communist underground organizations. Shi Anguo wanted to cut off the internal line of the Garrison Command.

  "Old Stone, you're in a good mood. Looks like yesterday was a big harvest. When will there be rewards from the Nanjing side? The people in the stock have destroyed two underground organizations of the Communist Party in a short time." Wang Yaowu knocked on the door twice and went straight in, he still had to hand over the intelligence obtained from the Japanese spy to Shi Anguo yesterday.

  "Sit down first, close the door. There's something to talk about with you. I'm not happy at all now, but at least it has dealt a blow to the people on the side of the Security Command Center, and can barely make myself not headache."

  Shi Ankou's face turned serious again as he saw Wang Yaoyu enter. Wang Yaoyu, seeing Shi Ankou's reaction, really wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but unfortunately, he couldn't. Wang Yaoyu could only close the door and sit down in the position opposite Shi Ankou.

  "Ten Communist Party members were meeting, and this time another one escaped, with nine people using their lives to cover for the escape of one person. There was a secret passage in the hotel that others didn't know about, which I personally discovered after investigating. The Tianfu Hotel is now under the control of the Garrison Command, and I believe they will soon discover the secret passage as well. However, they won't be able to confirm whether someone escaped or not. But one thing I can confirm here is that the person who escaped must have been the leader of that group, a person with a special identity."

  After listening to Shi An Guo, Wang Yao Zu gently patted his own forehead with his hand. He really regretted coming so early to see Shi An Guo, he could have delayed the time by borrowing the foreigner's affairs and wandering around outside for a while, there was no need to come back and take over this troublesome matter at all.
