The two bodyguards seemed to hear something going on inside and hurriedly rushed into the private room with their guns drawn. They saw only two men and women lying on the floor. A large pool of blood stained the room and the blood mixed with the fragrance of Babao duck into a strange smell.

There was also a window that had been pushed open and was swinging.

The two bodyguards ran to the window and looked down. The bustling Fuyou Road was full of moving figures.

There is still a trace of the murderer somewhere.

Chen Tianhua's carriage had just turned and entered Fuyou Road. He looked up and saw a commotion in front of the old hotel. Many people were rushing forward. There were two or three Qing patrol policemen wearing hats and blue cloth policemen.

They were in uniform, holding batons and blowing whistles and stormed into the old hotel.

"Husband, it seems something happened at the old hotel?" Xu Yunyuan looked out from the opened car curtain.

"Stop..." Chen Tianhua ordered.

He got off the car and went on foot to see what was going on there.

Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed past the car and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

His figure is very similar to that of a red stick named Lang Yikun who served under Zheng Jiang of Hongmen Zhongyi Hall.

You shouldn't be mistaken, Chen Tianhua frowned and thought.

…

Chunyang Lane, Weihai Road, Jing'an Temple.

This is a row-style Shikumen residence with a traditional Chinese archway at the entrance.

Walking deep into the lane, on the right side, there is a two-story brick-wood structure with red brick exterior walls and a sloping roof with a dormer window for easy viewing.

The main door is made of two solid black-painted wooden doors, which swing on a wooden axis and are often equipped with door knockers. The impact of the entrance and exit will echo in the Shikumen alley.

The door lintel is made of traditional bricks and blue tiles, the exterior wall details adopt the carvings of Western architecture, there is an overhanging balcony on the second floor, and the overall layout adopts the French row style.

There is a small patio at the entrance. Behind the patio is the living room. Behind the living room is a wooden escalator leading to the second floor. After that is another patio. The back patio is the stove and the back door.

Although this place is located in a busy city, it still has the advantage of having a high wall and a deep courtyard, which makes it quiet in the bustle. Moreover, the front and rear gates are connected in all directions, making it easy to evacuate in case of emergency.

Towards evening, an Oriental rickshaw stopped at the entrance of Chunyang Lane, and a tall and burly figure wearing a bamboo hat got out of the car.

The rickshaw driver took the money and ran away in a hurry.

There was a gentle autumn breeze at the entrance of the alley. He scanned left and right vigilantly and found nothing unusual. Then he wrapped himself in a gray gown and strode towards the depths of the alley.

Arriving at the solid black lacquered wooden door on the right, he clicked the knocker.

There was a sound of footsteps approaching, and the door opened with a creak, and a beautiful young woman in her 24s and 45s opened the door and welcomed her.

"Sir, you are finally back!"

He closed the door and took off his hat and smiled at her. Seeing that it was intact, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Every time he went out on an assassination mission, she would always be on tenterhooks until he came back safely. This kind of work was done with her head hanging on her belt.

"I said it's okay, don't worry about me so much." Lang Yikun hugged his woman affectionately.

"Come into the house quickly, the helmsman is waiting for you inside." The woman took Lang Yikun's hand and entered the house.

The helmsman the woman is talking about is Chen Qimei, the chief helmsman of the Shanghai Qinghong Gang who was founded recently.

Hongmen took the word loyalty and righteousness as its ruling ideology, and its purpose was to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Although Chen Qimei joined Xu Baoshan, the leader of the Youth Gang, and used her "big" status to control part of the Shanghai Youth Gang, the members within the Youth Gang were complex and various forces were infiltrating, making it difficult to completely control them.

The Shanghai branch of the Tongmenghui is nominally the president and governor-general of the Tongmenghui. But in fact, in order to avoid being pursued by the Imperial Military Counselor, he is no longer in Shanghai and travels back and forth to Tokyo, studying and inspecting in Western Europe. Therefore, the Shanghai branch of the Tongmenghui is actually

Chen Qimei will do it at the General Assembly.

Although the Tongmenghui and the Guangfuhui were merged into one, due to their different political opinions and political programs, the two sides seemed to be inseparable.

Shanghai is the birthplace of the Guangfuhui. It raised the anti-Qing banner earlier than the Tongmenghui, so its power is far greater than that of the Tongmenghui, which was established later.

The current leaders of the Liberation Association are Tao Chengzhang and Liu Yufang. Therefore, the anti-Qing forces in Shanghai and even the areas south of the Yangtze River are far from being swayed by Chen Qimei, which makes him very distressed.

Among the Qing Gang, there is Tao Chengzhang's subordinate brother Fan Degong. He is the "Wu" generation leader of the Qing Gang. He used to be the leader of the Guangfu Society assassination organization. This man has considerable influence in the Qing Gang.

In order to reverse the passive situation of the Tongmenghui in Shanghai and fight against Tao Chengzhang and others in the future, Chen Qimei decided to secretly establish the Qinghong Gang and recruit the Hongmen brothers to join.

His wife Liu Yufang did not know about this either.

Lang Yikun was originally a popular figure in Zheng Jiang's Loyalty Hall. Being attracted by Chen Qimei's money and beautiful women, he began to make moves. In addition, the development space of a county town in Changxing could not be compared with that of Shanghai, which is ten miles away. Therefore, he finally met Zheng Jiang.

Jiang bid farewell and joined Chen Qimei as the leader of the special operations team.

The special operations team is responsible for tracking, investigation, assassination, anti-rape and other tasks.

Lang Yikun is tall and strong. He can use two guns with perfect accuracy. He is good at fighting with daggers and knows boxing skills.

He was so talented and courageous that he could often go out alone and execute a Military Counselor's spy, a Qing court official, and of course a traitor in the Revolutionary Party without warning on the street, making the Military Counselor and the traitors of the Revolutionary Party fearful.

"Master, I met the eldest young master when I was evacuating after finishing my work today. He just got off a carriage, and next to him were two of his guards, riding tall horses."

"Chen Tianhua? He...did he recognize you?" Chen Qimei was shocked. The things Sun Wu complained about at the Hall of Fame in the morning were still vivid in her mind.

"I was wearing makeup and noticed that he glared at me. I don't know... but based on his skill, I should have guessed it." Lang Yikun carefully recalled the process and murmured: "He and Zheng Jiang are brothers. If he

If you have any doubts, just go to Changxing and ask."

"It's nothing to ask Zheng Jiang. The key is that the two people you killed were the daughter and son-in-law of Shanghai Daotai, and the sister and brother-in-law of Wang Qizheng, the general director of the Military Advisory Committee. This matter will definitely cause a sensation. If Chen Tianhua recognizes you, who knows?

Will I go to Wang Qizheng and sue you?" Chen Qimei was so anxious that she waved her hands and stamped her feet.

Chen Qimei had many considerations in killing Fei Xiaoliang and his wife.

First, Lang Yikun's special agent team accidentally discovered that Fei Xiaoliang had betrayed the Guangfuhui, and therefore betrayed the Tongmenghui, and had to eliminate the traitor.

The second is to attack Wang Qizheng, who is the Military Consultant, and at the same time, it also attacks Tao Chengzhang, igniting a fire between the two parties. It is best if Wang Qizheng and Tao Chengzhang fight each other, and he will benefit from it.

But now, if it is discovered that Lang Yikun is the murderer, he will become angry and both sides will target themselves. Wouldn't it be a waste of money?
