"Thank you, brother!"

Wei Dayong added: "The name Mei Xue is most likely a pseudonym. When I was waiting for my elder brother to come back at noon, I had already taken the time to write out this person's origin and detailed appearance, and asked the accountant, Mr. Lin, to help me transcribe it.

There are dozens of copies. Brother can distribute these pieces of paper everywhere so that no fish will slip through the net during the investigation."

Wu Tianhua: "Okay, I will immediately send out a few groups of people to inform the leaders of all parties, and ask them to send more people to investigate together. In addition, I have familiar detectives in the police station, and I can also ask them to intervene.

It will achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

"Brother, wait a minute! When you send out your men, you must inform your subordinates. After discovering the suspicious person who is suspected of being Mei Xue, you only need to keep a close eye on them and don't act rashly. You tell them to notify us immediately to identify them, so as not to cause any trouble and alert the snake.

big."

Wu Tianhua's eyes narrowed: "Does the second brother mean to..."

"Exactly. I think there are a lot of spies in Hankou City. If we can follow the clues through Mei Xue and dig out the carrots and bring out the mud, wouldn't it be better than just catching a female spy?"

Wu Tianhua nodded frequently: "Second brother, you have thought very carefully. I will definitely pass on your request. Maybe we can catch all the spies lurking in Hankou. That would be a great achievement."

Don't be too late, just do it.

Wu Tianhua immediately wrote a dozen notes with the same content. Naturally, he did not disclose that this move was to catch spies, but pretended to be something else. He only said that Mei Xue was of great concern and that he must make every effort to trace her whereabouts and then monitor her.

, and at the same time sent someone to Tai Koo Pier to report the news. The first person to find her would be rewarded with a thousand dollars.

As a prominent figure in Hankou and a leader of the Qing Gang, he could of course assign people from various tribes below to run errands for him for free without spending a penny.

But Wu Tianhua did not do this.

He knew in his heart that as long as he gave the order, not only the direct troops would be dispatched in full force, but even the people from other factions would not dare to shirk the slightest word.

However, although those people may also act upon hearing the news, they are still doing things sincerely and superficially, so that is unknown.

Wu Tianhua firmly believed that a brave man would be rewarded, so he did not hesitate to offer a generous bounty to encourage everyone to work hard to find Mei Xue's whereabouts as soon as possible.

One thousand yuan in the ocean was undoubtedly a very attractive amount of money at that time, and many people would not be able to earn it in their lifetime.

The reward offered by Wu Tianhua is obviously higher than the usual price for finding someone, which shows his heroic spirit and skill.

Soon, the news that Wu Tianhua spent a lot of money to find a woman spread simultaneously among the underworld in Hankou City. As for the identity of this woman and her relationship with Wu Tianhua, no one cared about this. They only cared about whether they could

Lucky to get that bounty.

For a time, many people were gearing up to find Mei Xue first and claim the reward.

The entire gang organization in Hankou, overtly or covertly, is like a large machine running at full power, with every gear and every component running at full capacity.

Among them, some rushed to Henan University in the western suburbs to understand the situation as soon as possible, some went in and out of various hotels to check the registration books and asked the waiters, and of course there were also some who wandered aimlessly in the streets and alleys, hoping to hit a dead mouse.

News soon came from Henan University that the name Mei Xue was not included in the roster of current students.

Boss Hei, who ran there, felt that it was not easy to come all the way, so he ordered many of his disciples and disciples to inquire with the teachers and students at the school. The answers they received, without exception, were that they had never seen Wei Dayong in the school.

The person described on the piece of paper.

If it were just this group of people, there might be some omissions. However, within one day, three waves of people went to Henan University to conduct thorough investigations, and all results were in vain.

This very clear message was quickly fed back to "Wuji Food Store". After some deliberation, Wei Dayong and the others had already predicted this and did not feel disappointed. Instead, they further confirmed that Mei Xue's origins were fraudulent.

According to Wu Tianhua's estimate, the manpower he has directly mobilized is at least more than a thousand people, and the number of peripheral personnel indirectly recruited to join the investigation work is probably only a little more than three thousand.

It should be said that with such a huge manpower, it must not be difficult to find a foreigner in Hankou, a city with a population of hundreds of thousands.

This is because there are not many places where outsiders can stay, they are just hotels and inns, or even abandoned temples and old houses.

Even if she was staying in a private house, a stranger who suddenly appeared would be quite eye-catching to the neighbors. It would easily become the topic of gossip among the surrounding women, and it would be easy for others to remember their appearance and characteristics.

Based on the above points of view, both Wei Dayong and Wu Tianhua are optimistic about digging out the hiding place of Mei Xue in a short time.

But things backfired.

Until noon the next day, Wei Dayong still had not received any valuable clues.

People suspected of being Mei Xue were found in several places, but Wei Dayong and others rushed to identify them, but it was all a misunderstanding.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Dayong finally received the news that a person named Mei Xue had stayed at the Deming Hotel.

This Deming Hotel is the cream-yellow building that Wei Dayong and his friends saw when they first arrived in Hankou, not far from Dazhimen Railway Station. At that time, Mei Xue explained to the three of them that the word "Deming" came from

The literal translation of the English word "terminal".

Unexpectedly, after the two parties broke up, Mei Xue seemed to be walking towards Xunlimen, but in fact, as soon as Wei Dayong and others walked away, she turned back and checked into Deming Hotel.

The two silver dollars Master Yuantong gave her were certainly not enough for her to spend so much. She must have hidden bank drafts and other property on her body.

The reason why thousands of people from the Hankou underworld have searched almost all the nooks and crannies of Hankou City but cannot find any trace of Mei Xue is because the Deming Hotel is an industry run by the French.

The foreign boss has been in China for decades and has deep roots. He has close relations with senior officials in the Hubei Province. Therefore, even the officials from the Hankou County Government have to show courtesy to him, let alone those idle people from all walks of life. No one dares to do so.

Come looking for trouble.

This also made Deming Hotel become a neglected vacuum zone during the city-wide investigation.

I guess this was Mei Xue's cunningness, and she escaped the disaster.

As for Mei Xue's whereabouts being exposed, it was purely accidental.

There was a waiter named Liu at Deming Hotel, named Liu Dewang, who was the cousin of the "Red-haired Ghost", a gang member.

Yesterday, the "red-haired ghost" ran around all day and found nothing. He was so tired that his back ached. He spent the night drinking and having fun together. During this period, he also called his cousin Liu Dewang, the waiter.
