Although he didn't think the truth about Charlie Wilder's death could be found out, for safety reasons, Su Yan still asked Wu Yue to go to the capital and exchange three thousand pounds into US dollars.

Although the capital is close to Tianjin, it still took three days to go there and back, plus the time spent on doing things.

In three days, Charlie Wilder's case also made great progress.

Through Charlie Wilder's butler, Baker, and Shen Ting, we learned that there was at least 10,000 pounds stored in the safe in the mansion.

But when they opened the safe, they found it empty.

However, this discovery still cannot explain why Charlie Wilder committed suicide and confessed to committing suicide in public.

Later, Shen Ting got the inspiration when he heard several Chinese patrol officers discussing the matter.

"Looking at him, this Charlie Wilder seems to be really possessed by evil spirits."

"How to say?"

"Isn't it appropriate for our Inspector Shen to always say that solving a case depends on the motive? You said that Charlie Wilder publicly admitted the crime of opium trafficking and committed suicide. Which aspect will have the greatest impact? Isn't it those lawless opium merchants?

I heard that as soon as this incident came out, the opium dens in Tianjin Wei were unable to stock their products for several days.

It is said that because of the incident with Charlie Wilder, the foreign opium merchants were all on tenterhooks, worried that their gods would come to them and ask them to ask God for forgiveness, so they suspended supply."

"Hey, could it be that foreign gods are really here to bless us Chinese people?"

"Shit, if you ask me, he must be our Chinese god."

"I don't agree with what I'm saying. If our Chinese gods could show up, would we be bullied by foreign devils for so many years?"

"You don't understand this, right? The reason why the ghosts didn't appear before was because they were away. But after the sky was filled with splendor half a month ago, our Chinese gods came back.

Not to mention anything else, just in the north of the city, I heard that someone saw gods flying into the sky and dancing with swords that day."

After hearing this, Shen Ting stopped listening. Instead, he returned to the office and fell into deep thought.

Not to mention what the two police officers said behind the scenes, what they said before is very reasonable.

Judging from the motive of committing the crime, Charlie Wilder committed suicide in such a bizarre way, which indeed had a great deterrent effect on foreign opium merchants.

So, is it possible that this incident was caused by some strange person from China?

Shen Ting liked to investigate cases when he was young. In addition, his family was well-off and he got to know many people from all walks of life when he was young. There were indeed some strange people and strange things among them.

But it is unheard of to say that another person can be manipulated to commit suicide like a puppet.

However, if it was true that some strange people from China were doing chivalry and doing justice, he really didn't want to continue investigating this case.

Anyway, Baker has already thought of his excuse to the public, and it doesn't matter whether he finds out the truth or not.

There are too many unsolved cases these days, so what does one more case mean?

Thinking of this, Shen Ting laughed and was about to express his incompetence to his boss Karl and receive a scolding that would make his ears tingle.

Three stone streets.

Wuji Gym.

Wu Yue placed a bunch of U.S. dollars in front of Hao Xinyi and said: "This is 1,000 U.S. dollars. If it's not enough, you can come back and ask me for it. But whatever you buy or do as a favor, you'd better keep a record of it and give it to me—— This is the rule in the sect."

Looking at the dollars on the table, Hao Xinyi was a little surprised.

I wasn't surprised that Wu Yue could take out so much money, but I was surprised that Wu Yue took out US dollars.

After entering Wuji Gym for so many days, Hao Xinyi got to know Wu Yue somewhat.

He felt that the leader spoke and acted like an ancient person, and he didn't know much about certain things that only appeared in the Republic of China.

Therefore, Wu Yue was more surprised when he took out U.S. dollars than when he took out a box of gold and silver treasures.

However, Hao Xinyi had no intention of going into details. Instead, he put away the money and nodded: "Yes, I remember it."

After Hao Xinyi took the money and left, Wu Yue came to the courtyard.

Li Weiguo is no longer there, Wang Yuehua, Zhou Qing are practicing swordsmanship, and Li Shuwen is practicing spearmanship.

Seeing Wu Yue coming over, the three of them immediately stopped their efforts, cupped their hands together and said: "Master."

Wu Yue said "hmm" and nodded slightly.

Li Shuwen remembered that Hao Xinyi had left in a hurry just now without saying hello to the three of them. Forget it, he was always rude in front of Wu Yue, so he said: "Master, since Hao Xinyi is also a disciple of our Wuji Dao.

, you should learn some rules.

Those who have studied abroad have indeed learned some skills from foreigners, but they have also learned the bad habits of rudeness, which is not good."

Wu Yue had similar thoughts, so she nodded and said, "I know, I will remind him of this later."

After saying that, Wu Yue gave instructions to the three disciples and went out.

She was wandering on the street in disbelief when she heard a newsboy selling newspapers nearby.

"The newspaper is sold, the newspaper is sold! The truth about the mysterious suicide of the owner of Charlie Matheson is revealed!"

"Buy a newspaper and read it." Su Yan said via voice message.

Wu Yue nodded, immediately waved, and bought a newspaper from the newsboy.

Through Wu Yue's vision, Su Yan saw the contents of the newspaper.

I don’t know whether this newspaper received money from the British or was controlled. The description of the case was obviously biased towards the British, and the same was true for the results of the investigation of the police room announced.

According to information released by the patrol room, Charlie Wilder has always suffered from mental illness. This time he came to Tianjin because of a mental illness relapse. He climbed the cross on the church late at night and committed suicide by jumping off the building in public in the morning.

As for the 30,000 kilograms of opium sold in ten years mentioned by Charlie Wilder, it is completely false - the British Empire banned the opium trade thirty years ago, so it is impossible for Charlie Wilder to do such a thing as a citizen of the British Empire.

.

hehe.

Ghost letter.

Su Yan then asked Wu Yue to buy some other newspapers and periodicals.

Fortunately, at this time, many newspaper workers in China had conscience, and some were even unafraid of power.

These newspaper people used the case of Charlie Wilder to vigorously criticize the British concession authorities and the Beiyang government for their connivance with opium merchants. They suggested that the Beiyang government clear out all opium dens and even use Charlie Wilder as a clue to arrest other opium merchants.

Punish crimes according to law.

Needless to say, in the next two or three days, the Concession Patrol Office and the Tianjin Patrol Bureau launched a massive joint opium-suppression operation, supposedly sealing down opium dens.

This incident indeed applauds most ignorant Chinese people, but those who are truly knowledgeable know that the authorities are just showing off.

Today's opium dens are no longer open as blatantly as they were in the Qing Dynasty. Instead, they are hidden in other shops or in dark corners. Most people can't see them. Who knows whether they have been closed down or not?

At most, we will be closed for a few days. When the news passes, we will continue to do whatever we want.

However, Su Yan learned from Zhang Zhankui and others that the incident with Charlie Wilder had indeed frightened the foreign opium merchants. The timid ones stopped selling opium directly, while the bold ones did not dare to sell as unscrupulously as before.

Foreign religions are popular, so foreigners believe in ghosts and gods more than Chinese people.

The largest opium merchant in Tianjin died in such a bizarre way, which other opium merchants would not be afraid?

When you have done something wrong, you are most afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

When the matter reached this stage, Su Yan's goals of obtaining money and rectifying opium merchants were achieved. In order to avoid being exposed, he had no plans to act again in a short period of time.

However, he didn't look for trouble, trouble came to him.

To be precise, I found Wu Yue.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Wu Yuezheng was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing Qigong.

At her level, meditating and practicing Qi is also resting. Even if she still retains her daily sleeping habit, two or three hours of sleep is enough.

Su Yan is refining his spiritual consciousness - apart from this, he has no other skills to practice.

Therefore, when several men in black climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the martial arts hall, he noticed them immediately.
