Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Chapter 348 Inspector He

Here in Shanghai, it’s not just the Japanese who read newspapers.

There was also Lu Feng sitting in the living room of the Ming family mansion.

Looking at the counterattack articles against the Japanese government in the newspapers, Lu Feng felt the urge to applaud.

He didn't expect that Wang Yaqiao just leaked a little bit of news, easily defused the Japanese's hypocrisy, and used the momentum to counterattack the opponent.

This time, although Wang Yaqiao did not kill anyone, he gave the Japanese a hard blow in the lungs of public opinion.

Lu Feng could already imagine how furious the Japanese would be after seeing these reports.

But speaking of it, only Wang Yaqiao could do this.

In the large number of film and television works about the Republic of China in later generations, there is no shortage of depictions of gang members, and most of them are portrayed as sentimental and patriotic.

So, do such gang members really exist in history?
The answer exists.

However, after two days of secret investigation, Lu Feng and Minglou found nothing.

In his early years, Wang Yaqiao, who was born into a poor family, joined the former Prime Minister and devoted himself to the cause of democratic revolution.

As for the matter about the batch of fighter jets in Sasaki Takasou's safe, because the "Liberty" had just departed from Osaka Port at this time, and there was still some time before it arrived in Shanghai, so there was no rush.

But after considering the anxious and angry attitude of the Japanese nowadays, Lu Feng still didn't say to meet Wang Yaqiao at this time.

Things will not develop so smoothly.

When the "December 128th Incident" occurred, Wang Yaqiao reorganized his "Axe Gang" into the "Iron-Blooded Anti-traitor Team", killing the Japanese and traitor lackeys with fear.

Later, he established the "Hometown Labor Association" in Shanghai and used the ax in his hand to fight for the legal rights and interests of the lower-level workers in Shanghai, hence the name "Axe Gang".

Although they found many lower-level workers who had been bribed by the Japanese, these people were obviously not the "Shouwu" who knew the factory situation very well.

If he really wanted to see him, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Besides, he still had things to deal with right now, and Yingzuo Jianzhao couldn't stop monitoring him, so he couldn't get away for a while.

Previously, Lu Feng learned from the documents in Sasaki Takasan's safe that the Japanese were trying to find out about the family's penicillin production factory.

In the past two days, Lu Feng had been working with Minglou to find this "Shouwu".

To be honest, Lu Feng actually wanted to meet the legendary assassin in person, and Lu Feng felt that he should be able to contact him.

Wang Yaqiao's current reputation was paved with the lives of those Japanese traitors.

However, the document did not mention the specific identity of the other party, but used the code name of a traditional Chinese medicine called "Shouwu".

Lu Feng concluded that Wang Yaqiao must have received help from the Red Party in this incident, otherwise he would not have been so restrained.

It's just that it doesn't have much to do with these people from the Qing Gang. The one who really did this was Wang Yaqiao's Ax Gang.

However, as the upper echelons of the government became more and more reactionary, the relationship between Wang Yaqiao and the government became extremely bad. Wang Yaqiao himself had to flee Shanghai, and the former "Axe Gang" disappeared.

Not long ago, Wang Yaqiao had given a public speech, expressing his support for the Red Party's political ideas.

As for Jianghu gangs such as the Qing Gang in Shanghai today, how can they still have the same sense of love for the country and the people that the Ax Gang had?
It's just a group of gangsters who are all capable of all kinds of evil and specialize in low-level activities.

Therefore, as long as he contacts Duan Haiping, meets Wang Yaqiao, and chats with him, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Later, as Wang Yaqiao grew in power, he was not dazzled by interests. Instead, he always adhered to his revolutionary stance and was active at the forefront of various struggles.

As for the upper-level managers of the factory, they are either old people from the Ming family or people sent from the Zhou family. They are all very reliable people.

If there is something wrong with these people, Minglou cannot accept it emotionally.

While Lu Feng arranged for manpower to monitor these people, he also proposed another idea. Could this "Shouwu" be someone who has a close connection with the factory but does not work in the factory?
Minglou was immediately inspired, and then took Lu Feng to the Ming family mansion, ready to ask the eldest sister about the specific situation.

This is also the reason why Lu Feng appeared in the Ming family mansion.

"Already asked clearly."

Minglou suddenly approached Lu Feng and spoke.

Hearing this, Lu Feng put down the newspaper and looked towards Minglou.

Minglou sat opposite Lu Feng and continued:
"I asked my eldest sister, and she said that in addition to our Ming family, Zhou family, Professor Ma, and Mr. Ma, among the shares in the penicillin production factory, there are also some dry shares."

Lu Feng nodded. The so-called dry stock means that there is no need to invest money, but only dividends. Most of these dry stocks are used to manage various relationship paths, both black and white.

"The eldest sister said that among the people who are responsible for dividend distribution, there are two main ones. One is from Zhonghetang, but Yu Zhonghe basically doesn't care about the factory."

"Is that the other one?"

Minglou nodded and said:
"Yes, the other one is Inspector He from the French Concession. According to the eldest sister, this Inspector He is very concerned about the factory and often asks her about various conditions in the factory."

"The surname is He, Polygonum multiflorum. It's really careless."

Lu Feng shook his head.

Minglou said with some doubt:

"It shouldn't be that simple, right? As far as I know, although Detective He's reputation is not very good, he won't defect to the Japanese so easily, right? He works for the French."

"Yes or no, we will know soon."

Lu Feng said with a smile.

As long as he knew who the suspect was, the investigation would be much easier for him.

At noon that day, the French Concession patrolled the house. It was just after lunch time, and it was during the lunch break. The patrol officers in the patrol room all looked lazy.

In the detective's room, He Guan was counting the "filial piety money" he had just received.

"Damn it, Mom, it's less than last month."

After scolding in a low voice, He Guan divided the money in his hand into four parts.

The largest share was for the French Inspector General, followed by Boss Huang, and then the Inspector.

Only the smallest portion can fall into He Guan's pocket.

Although for ordinary people, this is already a large amount of money, but for He Guan, who often handles large sums of money.

It feels so uncomfortable to have so much money but only a small part of it belongs to you.

It is precisely because of this that He Guan chose a special way of "making extra money".

"dong dong"

There was a knock on the door. He Guan cleared the table and said:

"Come in."

"Detective He, that boss Xiao is here, and he is probably here to do something for you again."

At the door, a patrolman spoke.

"I know, I'll be out right away."

With that said, He Guan locked the drawer and walked out of the patrol room.

Outside the patrol room, a man wearing a long gown and dressed as a businessman greeted He Guan enthusiastically.

"Detective He, I'm really sorry to trouble you again this time."

"Speak in another place."

"Oh, yes, yes."

While talking, the two walked to the alleyway behind the patrol house.

After scanning around to make sure that no one was paying attention, He Guan asked:
"Why did you come here again? Do you know that this will expose my identity?"

Boss Xiao said contemptuously:
"Detective He, so what if you are exposed? The worst thing you can do is serve the imperial army openly."

"Hmph, that's easy to say. Those of you who are capable can catch Wang Yaqiao first and then talk about it."

Upon hearing the words "Wang Yaqiao", Boss Xiao's face became a little ugly, but he quickly adjusted it and continued:
"Okay, I'm not here to argue with you. How's the investigation going about what you said last time?"

"Didn't I tell you that I would notify you if anything happens?"

"But it's been two days, haven't you found out yet?"

"No."

"What have you found out now?"

He Guan hesitated for a moment, but Boss Xiao knew there was something in stock when he saw it. He didn't hesitate, took out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into He Guan's hand.

He Guan weighed the thickness and then said:

"I have asked the servants of the Ming family, and they said that a relative from out of town did come to stay at home a few days ago. The person was injured and she was a woman."

Boss Xiao's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it should be her. The red party member who was injured that night was a woman."

He Guan shook his head and said:
"I'm not sure yet. I'm a female, so I can't check it carefully. If I make a mistake, the problem will be very troublesome."

Boss Xiao shook his head and said:
"Leave this matter to us. If we find out that the Ming family is related to the red parties who rob medicine, there will be no need for the Ming family to continue to exist."

Hearing the murderous intent in Boss Xiao's words, He Guan's back couldn't help but shrink.

"You have to promise not to involve me in this."

"He Sang, don't worry about this."

Boss Xiao patted He Guan on the shoulder, then turned and left.

There were clues about the robbery of medicines. He had to report such a major clue to his superiors as soon as possible.

Looking at the other person's retreating back, He Guan couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:

"Oh~ You can't blame me for this. Who told your Ming family to have to be involved in this kind of thing?"

"Oh, what does it have to do with?"

He Guan was so startled by the sudden questioning that he almost jumped up.

Then, a hand stretched out from behind and held him in place, unable to move.

"Detective He, can you talk to me carefully?"
