The Republic is so violent

Chapter 119: Night Revenant (2)
Ying Kuicheng was furious when he heard the words, jumped up and scolded: Damn, Song Jiaoren, if you become the prime minister and don't take care of your brothers at all, you are a traitor to the party. What's the use of keeping such a person, I will kill you now! For you... Before he finished speaking, Ying Kuicheng took out his pistol and aimed at Song Jiaoren and was about to shoot. The people at the banquet were horrified. .Ying Kuicheng's anger still persisted, and he continued to curse.

Song Jiaoren sat on the seat and said calmly: "There is no fear of death, and the ambition is invincible!"

This statement caused Song Jiaoren's death.

Also attending this reception is Song Jiaoren's secretary, the Japanese Kita Ikki, who will provide us with a special testimony.But before that, we must explain the nature of this conflict in detail.

What Chen Qimei asked Song Jiaoren was the most concerned question of the former Tongmenghui and the current Kuomintang members.Gein Song Jiaoren went north on this trip, and it was inevitable to win the election and enter the cabinet.His behavior proves that the path of political election is easier to approach power than violence, and this means: Song Jiaoren's departure from the violent.

And Song Jiaoren's answer that there is no party is even more clear.Once he wins the election and organizes a cabinet, he must aim at building the country—who has ever seen a cabinet prime minister causing turmoil in his seat?

Violence is not beneficial to the country, so Song Jiaoren's answer is like a blow to Chen Qimei, Ying Kuicheng and others.

As a result, Song Jiaoren quickly split with the violent elements in the party, and he was doomed to die.

06 Three important suspects

The last itinerary of Song Jiaoren’s life looked like this: he received a farewell from the party members at Yipinxiang Restaurant at 6:9 pm, left Yipinxiang Restaurant at 10:[-] pm, and arrived at Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Station by horse-drawn carriage at [-]:[-] pm. Huang Xing saw him off , Chen Qimei, Liao Zhongkai, Yu Youren and others.

They took a rest in the member reception room until 10:40, and then they marched towards the entrance of the train station. When they reached the ticket gate, three gunshots were heard suddenly, and they saw Song Jiaoren covering his chest, and said to Youren:
I was shot.

Everyone hurriedly sent Song Jiaoren to the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Hospital on the old target road, but the doctor slipped away. Song Jiaoren could only endure the severe pain of the gunshot wound, and said to Youren: I am in pain, and I will never be able to afford it.All books stored in Nanjing, Beijing and Tokyo will be donated to the Nanjing Library.I am a poor scholar, and my mother is still alive. If I die, I would like to ask Keqiang, Gong and other old people to take care of me.

He also said: You should still work hard to revolutionize, but fortunately don't let me suffer from unexpected events, cause you to shrink back, and give up the responsibility of the people.I want to reconcile the north and the south, and I have worked hard, but the mob will not forgive me, misunderstand my intentions, and kill me.

At 3 a.m. on March 22, Song Jiaoren, the founder of the Chinese Kuomintang, died at the age of 4.

When Song Jiaoren's posthumous telegram was sent to Yuan Shikai's table, Yuan Shikai was eating at the same table with Zhang Shizhao. When he saw the posthumous telegram, Yuan Shikai sighed and said: "It's a pity to be dull at the beginning. If I knew it earlier, why bother?"

Zhang Shizhao looked at the telegram, but it was only ten large characters:
Be sincere, be fair, and respect the Constitution.

Later, Yuan Shikai analyzed the murderer and believed that the murderer must be Huang Xing, a revolutionary tycoon.The reason was that Song Jiaoren wanted to seize the prime minister's cabinet, and Huang Xing was also determined to win it.According to the style of the revolutionaries, it was inevitable for Huang Xing to kill Song Jiaoren.Moreover, Yuan Shikai further analyzed: Huang Xing's killing of Song Jiaoren marked a major break between the two factions within the Kuomintang, and soon the two factions will have fierce conflicts. Please wait and see if you don't believe it.

Yuan Shikai suspected that Huang Xing did it, while the Prime Minister Zhao Bingjun suspected that he did it.

When the news of Song Jiaoren's assassination came, Zhao Bingjun was presiding over a cabinet meeting. Upon hearing the news:
Turned pale in shock, he immediately left his seat, walked around the long table several times, and said to himself, "If people say that I beat Song Jiaoren to death, wouldn't it be me selling out my friends? How can I be considered a person?" (See Zhang Guogan's "Beiyang Shuwen")
Yuan Shikai suspected that Huang Xing did it, and Yuan Shikai had his reasons.And Zhao Bingjun suspects that he did it himself, and he has his own reasons—Gein Song Jiaoren is gearing up to win Zhao Bingjun's current position, and Zhao Bingjun has been engaged in police work for a long time, and he is the earliest detective in China. As soon as the beneficiary finds the murderer, he finds himself, which is why he is so depressed and panicked.

But only Zhao Bingjun knew how worthless this rotten cabinet was, and how could Tang Shaoyi run away if it was valuable?How could the valuable Lu Zhengxiang hide?He, Zhao Bingjun, had no choice but to force the ducks to be put on the shelves, so he took care of the situation.What's more, when Song Jiaoren went north, he lived in Zhao Bingjun's home. The two cherished each other and became close friends long ago. Therefore, after Zhao Bingjun's analysis, he decisively ruled out the possibility of himself becoming the murderer.

And Song Jiaoren's secretary, the Japanese Bei Yihui, proposed a third possible murderer: Chen Qimei.

What evidence does Bei Yihui have?
This evidence was at the banquet before Song Jiaoren went to the train station. If everyone hadn't reacted quickly and stopped Ying Kuicheng in time, then Song Jiaoren would have been beaten to death at the banquet, and there was no chance to get to the train stand.What's more, killing Song Jiaoren is in the best interest of Chen Qimei and others - it is better to kill Song Jiaoren as soon as possible instead of making Song Jiaoren the prime minister and then making enemies of the current party members.

But the terrible thing is that Chen Qimei is responsible for the detection of this case. In this way, the murderer's direction has a decisive variable.

07 Don't tell anyone
In fact, no one gave Chen Qimei the right to pursue the murderer. From Bei Yihui's point of view, Chen Qimei himself was seriously suspected, and should be avoided, and a third party should be responsible for the detection.However, Lao Chen was originally a man of temperament, and he had powerful Jianghu brothers under his command. Coupled with the cobweb-like administrative system of the Kuomintang, with such strength, who else is qualified to act as an objective third party except Lao Chen?

In addition, Sun Wen, who is in Japan, also issued instructions regarding the pursuit of murderers:
Wen Dun's first death, I am extremely mourned!I hope that the party members will work together to investigate the cause of this matter in order to seek justice.

As a result, members of the Kuomintang all over China put down what they were doing and joined the mighty flow of people hunting down the murderer.At the time of the incident, someone witnessed the murderer. His body was very short, and he looked like a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing a black uniform (or Yunjun uniform). After falling to the ground, he fired two more shots on the ground, then jumped up and fled eastward along the iron fence of the station.Although it has been patrolled and chased, it is too late.

Just when I was at a loss, two down-and-out students from Sichuan came to the communication office of the Ministry of Communications of the Kuomintang and asked to meet the leader, saying that there was a confidential incident.Director Zhou Nanxin from the Communication Office came out to meet them. The two students said: They came to Shanghai to apply for the exam, and they stayed at the Luming Hotel on Sima Road. He came here to find a buyer for an old painting.Once Samurai Ying went to the room of the two of them, asked them to borrow money for no reason, and took out a photo, saying, this person is not good, he can be killed...

It is implied in the book that these two Sichuan students are also helping people, and they are one of the countless eyeliners arranged by Chen Qimei in Shanghai.Although they couldn't remember the appearance of the person in the photo, the Kuomintang immediately sent people to the hotel to arrest Samurai Ying.

The sent people squatted in Wu Shiying's room all night, but they didn't wait for Wu Shiying to come back. Everyone was impatient and decided to search first, but unexpectedly found a business card with the words "Ying Guixin" on it.

Ying Guixin is Ying Kuicheng.

The business card was presented to Chen Qimei, and Lao Chen immediately ordered: Report immediately to the patrol room. Ying Kuicheng is currently the director of the Jiangsu Marine Police Department.

In other words, it can be seen that Chen Qimei is innocent. If he is the person behind the scenes, is there any reason to hand him over to the police station?

But if you know how the unlucky Ying Kuicheng died, you won't think so.

So Chen Qimei sent his capable generals Wang Jigao, Zhou Nankai and Lu Huisheng, together with the inspector of the patrol room, Armstrong, to the brothel to arrest Ying Kuicheng.

When they arrived at the brothel, they heard that Ying Kuicheng was betting wildly in the upstairs wing, so they sent Zhou Nankai, who had a close relationship with Ying Kuicheng, up there.Zhou Nanxin said to Kui Cheng: Lao Ying, come here, I have something to do with you.Ying Kuicheng didn't doubt that he was there, so he went downstairs. The inspector downstairs, Armstrong, immediately grabbed Ying Kuicheng's hands, and the rest of them rushed up, lifted Ying Kuicheng, gagged his mouth, and stuffed it into the mouth. Car, escorted back to the arrest room.

Then gang brothers and detectives poured into Ying Kuicheng's home, including several concubines of Ying Kuicheng, and 17 people were detained.Then everyone began to search for evidence, and the search was miserable. They searched until midnight, but nothing was found.

Wu Shiying has not yet been brought to justice, and if no evidence can be found, it will be terrible.Is Ying Kuicheng a person who is easy to deal with?If you insist on fixing him without evidence, if he starts to go crazy, who can bear it?

At the critical moment, Chen Qimei issued an instruction: Zhou Nanxin, you have the closest relationship with Ying Kuicheng, and you have to take action in this matter.

So Zhou Nanxin rushed to Ying Kuicheng's house, and after entering, he approached Ying Kuicheng's aunts and wives, and said in a low voice: "Your lord asked me to come back to comfort you, don't worry, there are things to do!"I can explain it tomorrow, but there is a secret document that should be taken care of by adults, take it out quickly and give it to me in secret, so that I can do my best, hurry up!

Ying Kuicheng's aunts and wives were terrified. When they suddenly saw a friend at home, they immediately had a backbone, and hurriedly whispered to him: I tell you, the things are hidden in the mezzanine under the bedroom floor. Don't tell others.

It would be strange not to tell others, Lao Zhou turned his face and took out a lot of physical evidence from the mezzanine under the floor on the spot.

08 Who is the wife?
The so-called evidence recovered from Ying Kuicheng's house was the telegram exchange between Ying Kuicheng and Yuan Shikai's secretary and Zhao Fengchang's brother-in-law Hong Shuzu. Among them, there were mainly four telegrams that constituted the secret door of the case:

The first telegram was sent to Hong Shuzu by Ying Kuicheng: "There is a level of merit and reward, and Kui Xiang does not want it, but it is related to the overall situation. If you don't go to the bottom of the pot, if you don't go to the woods, there will be endless right and wrong. I am afraid that the overall situation will be disturbed." .

The second telegram was sent to Hong Shuzu by Cheng Ying Kui: The leader of the bandits in Liangshan is disturbing everywhere again, which is really dangerous.An emergency order has been issued, trying to suppress and arrest, begging for transfer and waiting for instructions.

The third telegram was Hong Shuzu's reply: cold electricity should be done immediately, and those who are afraid of empty words will laugh.

The fourth telegram was sent to Hong Shuzu by Ying Kuicheng after Song Jiaoren was murdered: The bandit leader is gone, and there are no casualties in our army.Consolation.

In several telegrams, both Mumu and Liangshan Bandit Chief refer to Song Jiaoren.With these few telegrams, it can already be determined [-]% that Ying Kuicheng is the murderer.

The next job is to bring back Samurai Ying to supplement the evidence.

The process of arresting Wu Shiying was the most funny. At that time, no one recognized Wu Shiying, and the two Sichuan students who were eyeliners were not there. Although 17 people were detained at Ying Kuicheng's house, are there any of them? Samurai Ying, if there is, how can he admit it?These are difficult problems to solve.

In desperation, a detective yelled at the 17 people: Which one is Samurai Ying, come out.

Among the 17 people present, there was a man and a woman. The woman was extremely beautiful, but she was Hu Feiyun, a famous Shanghai prostitute.She came to Kui Cheng's house together with a man, but they happened to be detained.At this time, when the detective asked, the man with Hu Feiyun stood up and said, "I am Samurai Ying, who is looking for me?"
At that time, everyone was stunned. Why is this Samurai Ying so overwhelmed?He agreed to call him, and was immediately arrested.

Wu Shiying, the murderer who assassinated Song Jiaoren, was finally caught.

What kind of person is he?Why did you want to assassinate Song Jiaoren?

Wu Shiying, whose real name is Wu Fuming, is from Shanxi. He studied in a school in Guizhou and served as a supervisor in the Second Battalion of the 74th Biao in Guangxi.His wife, born extremely beautiful, was accidentally seen by the superior, so the superior said to him: Xiao Wu, you are very good and capable, I am optimistic about you, and I am going to promote you.By the way, is your wife okay tonight?It's okay, let her come to my place, I have something to do with her.

So Wu Fuming was elated, and hurriedly sent his wife to the leadership office.After going there, he didn't see his wife coming back. Wu Fuming was very disturbed, so he went to look for it, but his superiors stared in surprise: Xiao Wu, you are crazy. This is obviously my wife. My guards can testify that she was with her last night. I slept together, we will continue to sleep in the future, you said that you are really interesting, it is unreasonable not to let the leader sleep with his wife.

Wu Fuming was in a hurry: Talk nonsense, she is my wife!

The leader asked calmly: Since she is your wife, why would she sleep in my bed?Since she is sleeping under my quilt, she is clearly my wife.Don't argue about this, it's settled!

Poor Wu Fuming, his wife was robbed just like that.The guards around the leader were all armed with live ammunition, staring at him covetously, even if he had an attack, it would be useless.

In desperation, Wu Fuming had no choice but to bow his head and go back.

After that, Wu Fuming no longer competed with the boss for his wife, but just practiced his marksmanship hard, and finally he developed a sharp spear, and he hit everything with a flick of his hand.

After practicing his marksmanship, Wu Fuming went to the leader who robbed his wife. Although he was separated by a thick guard, he flicked his hand, and a gunshot hit the leader's throat, killing one of the leaders on the spot.

Then Wu Fuming abandoned his job and fled to Shanghai. In order to avoid being pursued, he changed his name to Wu Shiying.

09 Oolong Witness
After being arrested, in the patrol room, Samurai Ying confessed: He did not know Song Jiaoren, nor did he know who Song Jiaoren was.But he had a friend surnamed Chen who invited him to join the Gongjin Association, and then the surnamed Chen told him, we want to establish a person who has a very important relationship with the future of China, and this person is an anarchist. Forty million compatriots, we must get rid of this person.

When Wu Shiying heard about this, he patted his chest wildly and said: For the sake of the [-] million compatriots, leave this matter to me, and I promise to make that anarchist die as hard as possible.

The friend surnamed Chen was overjoyed, so he told Samurai Ying that the anarchist was surnamed Song, and that he was leaving by train tonight.So they gave Samurai Ying a pistol, and called two assistants. The three rushed to the train station, and sure enough, they saw Song Jiaoren was about to pass through the ticket gate. Samurai Ying shot and killed him, and then fled back to Kuicheng's house.At this time, the person surnamed Chen was waiting at Ying Kuicheng's house, and said to Samurai Ying: Samurai Ying, you have done a good job, you are our hero, you are our hero, don't worry, I will definitely I will find a way to let you go abroad to study...

Looking at Wu Shiying's confession, the manipulator behind the scenes turned out to be a person surnamed Chen. Who is this person?

What is even more surprising is that this man surnamed Chen freely entered and exited Ying Kuicheng's house, as if entering a land without people. Isn't this a strange thing?

However, the patrol room didn't care to pursue this mysterious person surnamed Chen, as long as Ying Kuicheng made a confession, the case would be settled.But in response to Kuicheng's iron mouth and steel teeth, he refused to admit his account. At this time, the Kuomintang sent a witness in due course: antique merchant Wang Afa.

In court, there was a very interesting conversation between the witness Wang Afa and the suspect Ying Kuicheng.

Witness Wang Afa: I testify that this Ying Kuicheng is the murderer. I went to his house to sell ancient paintings that day. Ying Kuicheng took out a photo of Song Jiaoren and said to me, can you kill this man for me? If so , I will pay you 1000 yuan...

Ying Kuicheng: Look at this witness... There is something wrong with me. I have so many brothers under my command, and there are so many of them who want to kill me. If I look for a killer and find you, an antique seller, who will believe you?

Witness Wang Afa: It's useless if you don't admit it, anyway, you are the murderer.

Ying Kuicheng: You said you came to my house to sell paintings, so let me ask you, what kind of paintings are you selling?

Witness Wang Afa: It is Qiu Yingshi's landscape figures and Songzhu.

Ying Kuicheng: Hahaha, judge please pay attention, this false witness has revealed his secrets. Qiu Yingshi has never painted landscapes, let alone pine and bamboo.

Witness Wang Afa: Anyway, you are the murderer, and it's useless if you don't admit it.

Ying Kuicheng: Let me ask you again, you said you have been to my house, how many times have you been there?
Witness Wang Afa: I have been there twice, but the second time you were not at home and I did not see you.

Ying Kuicheng: So how many times have I entrusted you with a photo to kill someone?
Witness Wang Afa: You said it the second time.

Ying Kuicheng: Hey, didn't you just say that I was not at home when I went there for the second time?I'm not at home anymore, so how can I entrust you with a photo to kill someone?
Witness Wang Afa: Who knows what happened to you, anyway, you are the murderer.

Ying Kuicheng: I would like to ask the judge to pay attention to this so-called witness's statement, which is inconsistent and inconsistent with the plot. I think the court has already understood that I was wronged.

Judge: Now adjourn.

10 Bizarre Confessions

The witnesses who testified against Ying Kuicheng had their own problems in court.But the court doesn't care about this nosy business, the next one to appear is the murderer Samurai Ying.

In the court, there was a strange question and answer between Wu Shiying and the lawyer, which must be copied. Although the case became more complicated after copying it, if you don’t copy it, you will not be able to understand why the case will become complicated in the future. situation.

Lawyer: Did you kill Song Jiaoren?
