Five hundred and seventieth chapters Chuanglongtan
Seeing Zhang Tinglan paying attention to this book, Wang Yongjiang and Sun Liechen also focused on it, and they were immediately puzzled.
"I'm sorry, isn't this a Bible passed down from the West? Is this Liu San still a member of the church?" Sun Liechen couldn't help but asked in surprise.
Zhang Tinglan flipped through two pages, then put them into the hands of Wang Yongjiang and Sun Liechen, and they all started to look through them. Zhang Tinglan grabbed a few other books and flipped through them hastily, and found that they were all broken.
It was tattered, and some were simply damaged, but this Bible was clean and tidy, with no dirt on the pages.
"Mr. Minyuan, do you see any problem?"
Wang Yongjiang thought for a while and then said: "It is indeed a bit strange for an ordinary servant to hold a Christian classic, but I don't have a clue at the moment."
"All the books are very tattered, which shows that Liu San doesn't care at all, and there are no marks in the books. It can be seen that they are just for entertainment, and he throws them aside after reading them. Only this one is not only the best preserved, but also in the
There are also many text marks inside. Although the writing is not good, it can be seen that Liu San is very careful."
Wang Yongjiang looked through some pages and nodded: "Yes, as I said, it seems that Liu San is still a devout believer. Is this the reason why he poisoned him?"
Zhang Tinglan sighed and said with a wry smile: "I have always ignored one issue, and that is the Western religious aggression. In various unequal treaties in the past, the Western powers particularly emphasized the issue of free preaching. They value it so much, not only the spread of
Religion is so simple. In addition, various conflicts between religious people emerge in endlessly. The Boxer Rebellion also occurred because of conflicts with foreign religions. If strong ships and cannons are the swords in the hands of the great powers, then the church is a hidden weapon quenched with poison, and the potential harm is even greater.
big!"
Wang Yongjiang frowned and couldn't help but said: "Immodestly, do you suspect that Liu San was instructed by the church and then poisoned him?"
"I'm not sure yet, but I think this is a direction. First find out the relationship between Liu San and the church. I believe we will find clues."
Sun Liechen also said: "Zhu Yan's idea is correct. In addition to the Japanese, those who want to assassinate Fu Chen. Other powers may also be suspected, and they must be investigated carefully."
Zhang Tinglan immediately called Su Liangzhen, who was in charge of criminal investigation, Feng Yongshuang, commander of the military police, and Chang Yinhuai, chief of investigation.
Zhang Tinglan looked gloomy and said coldly: "I am very dissatisfied with your work. I will go immediately to investigate how Liu San joined the foreign religion. Find out the relationship between them and report to me immediately."
Zhang Tinglan rarely spoke harshly to his subordinates. But this time his father had a safety problem. He couldn't help but feel angry. Chang Yinhuai and others hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Commander, we will work hard to get it done!"
Chang Yinhuai continued: "Commander, we have drawn up a new security plan for the Commander's Mansion. We have learned the lesson from this time and must strictly control all food in the Commander's Mansion. Every ingredient must be registered.
, ensure the safety of the source, and no one is allowed to bring food in from outside."
Zhang Tinglan nodded: "It's easy to take precautions for the moment, but the hard part is to keep on guarding. You have to tighten your spirits and fill the holes in advance instead of thinking about it after the fact."
After Zhang Tinglan finished explaining, he strode away. Chang Yinhuai and others were left with sweat on their foreheads. They had to do what the commander told them quickly, otherwise their heads would be in danger!
They were all busy investigating, and Zhang Tinglan returned to Zhang Zuoxiang's ward. At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang was being served by Hua Futian and had fallen asleep. Zhang Tinglan silently exited the ward, and then hurriedly ran to the inner house.
Seeing that he had arrived at his own yard, Zhang Tinglan was still a little nervous. He tried to calm down and then walked in with big steps. There happened to be two doctors who had just exited the yard. When they saw Zhang Tinglan, they hurriedly said:
: "Commander, we have just checked that everything is fine, my wife, and her due date is within three to five days."
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, joy suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Thank you two doctors for your hard work. Please pay more attention to my wife's affairs."
While he was talking, a tall figure walked out of the room, wearing a beige skirt, elegant and gentle, showing off her exquisite curves. When she saw Zhang Tinglan, her face showed an expression of shyness and joy.
"Brother Lan, you finally came back and you didn't even know to check on Xinyao first. It's simply too much!"
"Sister Xianrui, do you dare to say this in front of the uncle? I don't believe he won't slap you."
When Sun Xianrui heard that Zhang Tinglan was holding her father Sun Liechen down, she suddenly bulged her cheeks, stuck out her small tongue, and made a face to Zhang Tinglan. Zhang Tinglan suddenly felt a flash in her eyes. When they met a few years ago,
, Sun Xianrui was still a sickly yellow-haired girl. In the past two years, she has completely grown into a grown-up girl. She is charming and shy, full of vitality, and her every move and smile is full of attraction.
But now is not the time to appreciate beautiful women, it is better to take a look at Zhou Xinyao as soon as possible. This is the key. Zhang Tinglan stepped into the room, followed closely by Sun Xianrui.
"Yao Yao, is our baby well behaved? Is he clamoring to come out and see his father?"
Zhou Xinyao, who was lying on the bed, glared at Zhang Tinglan fiercely: "I just know how to talk nonsense, and I don't even care who is here."
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he suddenly noticed that there was a young woman sitting next to Zhou Xinyao. It was Zhang Xueliang's wife Yu Fengzhi. When she saw Zhang Tinglan arriving, Yu Fengzhi hurriedly got up and said, "Bless you."
Zhang Tinglan also smiled and said: "It turns out that Feng Zhi is here. It just so happens that you should remind Yaoyao more. Even though she is also a doctor, if this happens to you, it is easy for anyone to lose their mind."
Zhou Xinyao took Yu Fengzhi's hand and said with a smile: "I'd like to say that Fengzhi has agreed to be our child's godmother. Of course he will try his best!"
"There's still me, count me in too." Sun Xianrui said angrily.
"You, it's good if you don't cause any trouble." Yu Fengzhi said with a smile: "How can it make sense for a young girl to become a godmother before she becomes a wife?"
Sun Xianrui's face turned red at these words, and he suddenly glanced at Zhang Tinglan secretly from the corner of his eyes. At this time, Zhang Tinglan's attention was entirely on Zhou Xinyao.
She has a big belly and has long lost the charm of the past. However, Zhang Tinglan still feels a little intoxicated. This is the person who will give birth to children and spend her life with her. She is full of attraction at all times.
.
As if feeling Zhang Tinglan's burning gaze, Zhou Xinyao's face turned slightly red, and she hurriedly changed the subject: "I'd like to ask, how is dad now? Has the murderer been found? I have been restless for the past two days, and I feel a sense of fear in my heart.
I don’t dare to eat anything for fear of causing some problems.”
"I have asked them to investigate. But there is no definite result yet."
"Brother Lan, you are so smart. My father always said that if you have it in your hands, nothing will be difficult. Haven't you found any clues yet?" Sun Xianrui asked with admiration.
Zhang Tinglan laughed: "I'm not a great detective, so I don't have any ability to solve cases, but now I have a little suspicion, it seems to be related to foreign religions."
Foreign religion! Upon hearing this, Yu Fengzhi immediately frowned. Zhang Xueliang is a person who likes new trends. He likes new things in the West and often associates with missionaries. He even took Yu Fengzhi to church several times. Therefore,
Hearing this, Yu Fengzhi instinctively felt a little uneasy.
"I'm sorry, is it true, or is it just your guess?" Zhou Xinyao couldn't help but ask from the side.
"It's still a guess for the time being, but I have a hunch that there must be something wrong with the church. It's just that this black cover has been lifted. I don't know how much more shady things will be pulled out."
Zhou Xinyao frowned, still a little doubtful: "I'd like to say that although those missionaries have the problem of bullying others, they have also done a lot of good things. They have built hospitals and schools, adopted old people and homeless children, and many ordinary people have
We can only survive because of their help. If we say that they would poison and assassinate military and political officials, it is really hard to accept!"
"Is there anything unacceptable? It's not surprising that those guys did anything bad!" Sun Xianrui suddenly said sternly as if he thought of something.
"Sister Xianrui, why did the missionary offend you again? Tell me and I will help you vent your anger?" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile, with a trace of disapproval on his face. He thought it was some kind of dispute of temper.
Sun Xianrui rolled his eyes at Zhang Tinglan, and then said: "I am not a child anymore. I am doing serious things. Brother Lan, I did find something wrong with the foreign church."
Sun Xianrui said solemnly: "During this period, more and more refugees have arrived in the three northeastern provinces. There are many homeless children. We have set up a reception center to adopt these children."
"This is a good thing and deserves praise!"
"Don't interrupt!" Sun Xianrui said: "We had no experience at first, so we went to a YMCA church to investigate how they adopted children, but I found that those children were all sallow and thin and in poor health. The nuns there
Tell us that these are children who have just been brought in and their bodies haven’t had time to recuperate yet, so they will increase nutrition to ensure the children’s health.”
"We didn't take it seriously. Instead, we rented a yard, which was twice the size of the church, and then took in all the homeless children. For about three months, a total of more than 200 beds were occupied.
was full, and there was no way to adopt children anymore. However, the church was still open to adoptions during this period. After actually starting this business, we felt a little doubt. Their scale was not as big as ours, but they had been doing it for so many years.
Don’t you think it’s strange to adopt children on a large scale without any problem of overcrowding?”
Listening to Sun Xianrui's words, not only Zhang Tinglan, but also Yu Fengzhi and Zhou Xinyao frowned. There was indeed something strange about this.
When Sun Xianrui saw everyone staring at him, he felt a little proud, and continued: "After investigation, we found many strange things. For example, the church has adopted so many children over the years, but we did not see an adult child.
They came out of the church, and the adoption cases they announced to the public were all from within the customs, and none of them were from Fengtian. Don’t we people in the three northeastern provinces have no love?”
Zhang Tinglan also felt that things were strange and asked hurriedly: "Xianrui, do you have any other investigation results?"
Sun Xianrui's face turned red: "I still want to investigate, but sister Xinyao is about to give birth, so I have to stay with her."
Zhang Tinglan suddenly stood up and walked around on the ground twice, his face becoming more and more solemn. Zhou Xinyao knew him very well, and when she saw Zhang Tinglan like this, she immediately guessed that something serious was going on.
"Idiot, are you worried about those children?"
"That's right, Xinyao, judging from what Xianrui said, those churches are probably acting as human traffickers. I have to investigate and completely lift this dark cover."
Zhou Xinyao nodded slightly: "I would like to ask you to investigate this matter carefully. Even if you pray for our baby who is about to be born, doing something to a child is the most intolerable crime in the world."
When Yu Fengzhi heard this, he also hurriedly said: "Han Qing believes in Christianity very much, and he also told me that he plans to be baptized in the future. If the church is really a place where filth and evil practices are hidden, this kind of religion is a deceptive thing. What do we believe in!"
"
Sun Xianrui grabbed Yu Fengzhi and said with a smile: "That's right, let's work together to uncover the shady story."
Two days later, Chang Yinhuai and the others hurriedly found Zhang Tinglan. Chang Yinhuai's face showed a hint of joy, and as soon as they met, he gave Zhang Tinglan a thumbs up.
"Commander, you are really good at knowing things. We have investigated and found out that Liu San was adopted by Lund Cathedral twelve years ago and stayed there for more than four years. After he came out, he did some odd jobs and then arrived at
At that time, he worked as a servant in the Marshal's Mansion, and later moved to our house."
Feng Yongshuang also said: "Liu San's situation is very simple. There is no motive for assassinating the old commander at all. If there is a problem, it can only be caused by the church."
"Have you investigated Lund Cathedral?"
"Investigated." Su Liangzhen also said: "This church was founded in 1893. It was originally established by a Russian missionary and a French missionary. Later it joined the YMCA. After years of development, it has become
It became the largest church in Fengtian and attracted many believers."
"Russians?" As soon as he heard this, Zhang Tinglan had an idea in his mind. Maybe his intuition was not wrong.
"This Lund Cathedral is indeed interesting. I plan to go and see it in person tomorrow."
"Commander, this may be a bit dangerous, so you better not take the risk."
"No." Zhang Tinglan waved his hand firmly: "The church has always been a den of disputes, and it is also protected by privileges. I still don't feel at ease if I don't go there in person. In short, you just need to arrange more people."
In the blink of an eye, another day passed, Zhang Tinglan changed into crisp casual clothes, and Sun Xianrui was already waiting in front of the door.
"Brother Lan, you are more handsome than a military uniform!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
