69, the whole city investigation
Zhenyuan nodded in agreement: "That makes sense! Why didn't we think of this at the time!"
Yuan Tong sighed: "That girl has beautiful features and outstanding appearance. Before she revealed her true colors, who would have thought that she had ulterior motives!"
Wei Dayong waited for them to finish their sighs, and then continued: "Secondly, if she is really a college student, well-informed and sensible, it must be easy to see that Liang Yilong was only targeting the three of us on the train and had nothing to do with her, so why would she follow her?
We jumped out of the car? She said she was so frightened that she jumped out of the car in panic. This reason is too far-fetched. The only reasonable explanation is that she knew our details, so she did everything possible to go with us."
"Stop it!"
Yuan Tong interrupted Wei Dayong: "Before meeting us, Mei Xue and we were strangers. How could she assume that we were coming to Hankou and also carry official documents with us?"
Wei Dayong nodded and said: "This is indeed a doubtful point. So I suspect that before getting on the bus, she already knew the origins of the three of us, and deliberately bought tickets at the same time as us to facilitate her later actions."
Although Wei Dayong still doesn't know how Mei Xue learned about their itinerary, there are various signs that Wei Dayong's analysis makes sense.
Mei Xue must have recognized the monk's compassion. As long as she jumps out of the car and pretends to be pitiful that she has lost her luggage, the other party will definitely not sit idly by and take her on the road.
After successfully sneaking into Hankou City, Mei Xue broke up with Wei Dayong and others. She thought that the chance of meeting Wei Dayong again in Hankou City with a population of hundreds of thousands was almost zero.
Unexpectedly, by coincidence, they met by chance on the road the next day, which led to the subsequent incident.
After listening to Wei Dayong's explanation of the incident, Master Yuantong felt that Mei Xue's identity was indeed very suspicious: "It's a pity that she ran away without forcing the truth. In this vast sea of people, it would be impossible to find her again."
It’s still difficult.”
Wei Dayong waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "No, no, no, I am sure to find her."
"How can it be possible to find a person who doesn't know where he is in such a huge city..."
Zhenyuan is deeply suspicious.
"The mountain man has his own clever plan!" Wei Dayong pretended to be mysterious.
Zhenyuan pestered him and kept begging him to tell him what the solution was.
Wei Dayong then said: "If the three of us alone are unfamiliar with the place, it is certainly impossible to find Mei Xue. But don't forget, the eldest brother I just became a sworn brother is the old man of the Qing Gang in Hankou. He must have many eyes and ears. Once he spreads his word,
If we find people within the city, things will be much easier to handle. We brought Mei Xue into Hankou City, and even if we dig three feet into the ground, we still have to eliminate this hidden danger."
Zhenyuan repeatedly said: "Yes, this woman actually used us as a cover. It's really disgusting. We must not let her off lightly!"
That's how it was settled.
It's just that Wu Tianhua went out to do something and wouldn't be back for a while. Wei Dayong could only wait no matter how anxious he was.
Taking advantage of this free period, Wei Dayong sat with his two senior brothers and recalled all the details about Mei Xue, including her appearance, figure, accent, hairstyle, clothing and other characteristics.
And express these contents in words to form written materials.
It's a pity that none of the three are good at painting, otherwise it would be even more perfect to paint a simulated portrait of Mei Xue.
Taking this material, Wei Dayong went to the accountant, Mr. Lin, and asked him to help him transcribe the words on the piece of paper onto a dozen pieces of paper, which would be useful.
After doing all this, Wu Tianhua finally returned to the trading company in the afternoon. Wei Dayong saw that his face was full of joy, and he thought that things had been handled more appropriately.
As expected, when he saw Wei Dayong, before he could speak, Wu Tianhua said with a smile: "Second brother, today is a smooth start. Several big guys in the guild promised to allocate 10,000 shi of food to me in emergency. Once the inventory is correct, everything will be transported to the train station before evening, combined with the shipment of 15,000 shi from us, and will be shipped to Zheng County tonight. I have ordered my capable men to set off with the train. , and also telegraphed to old friends in Zheng County to help. When the train arrives in Zheng County early tomorrow morning, we will arrange transportation to Dengfeng. Second brother, you don’t have to worry, they will handle the matter properly, so you can wait here with peace of mind, Dengfeng. After inspecting the goods, we will send a telegram and report back."
"Thank you for your hard work, brother."
Wei Dayong bowed and saluted.
Wu Tianhua's face was straight: "Do we brothers still need to be so polite?"
"This bow is not for me to be polite to you, but to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the tens of thousands of victims stranded in Dengfeng. If it weren't for this timely rain, I'm afraid the lives of those victims would have been unsustainable."
Wu Tianhua was about to say a few words of humility when he saw Wei Dayong's face suddenly turned serious: "Brother, since you have arranged the first batch of food, you might as well put it aside for the time being. There is a more urgent matter at the moment, and I can't do anything about it. I want to Please help me, brother."
Seeing Wei Dayong's solemn expression, Wu Tianhua knew that what the other party was going to say next must be of great importance, so he immediately replied: "But it doesn't matter."
Wei Dayong told the story of Mei Xue in detail, and finally concluded: "We all agree that this Mei Xue may be a spy of the Japanese, and it was the three of us who brought her into Hankou, so we have the responsibility to dig her out." The details. If she really has a problem, we must not sit idly by and ignore it."
Wu Tianhua listened to Wei Dayong's explanation of the cause and effect, thought about it a little, and thought that it was really possible. He immediately asked: "What does the wise brother mean..."
At this time, Wei Dayong could not care less about the ambiguity in his tone: "My idea is that if Mei Xue is really a spy, she will not leave Hankou in the short term. The Japanese attack on Wuhan will only last ten or eight days. She must have a heavy responsibility and cannot give up the mission easily. Secondly, although she exposed her suspicious identity in front of me, I am new here and have a dark eye on the local area, so she does not have to worry about being targeted by me again."
After a pause, Wei Dayong continued: "She never expected that the eldest brother has deep roots in Hankou and is very popular. It is not difficult to find a foreigner. Therefore, I would like to ask the eldest brother to use all kinds of connections. Especially the strength of the brothers in the gang to find out where Mei Xue will end up."
