"Isn't Mr. Lin building a villa? The foundation has been laid, and the doors and windows need to be installed. As for me, because I have a little money, I want to make the doors and windows better, at least to prevent mosquitoes, which requires more expensive wood.
.However, because of the war, it was impossible to buy it on the market. I mentioned it to Captain Jinlu and asked her if she had any connections in this field. Captain Zhang told me that it was not available on the market, but the warehouse of the General Affairs Office of the Secret Service Department
There is one inside, which was torn down from a museum built by the Japanese.
To be honest, Lin is not short of money and would rather spend more money than take advantage of the government, let alone owe favors.
The hardest thing in this world is not making money, but returning favors.
So, I refused at that time.
But Captain Zhang said that Deputy Director Ye was in charge of the timber, and they were all his own, so there was no need to worry too much.
As for me, firstly, I saw that Captain Zhang was very enthusiastic, and secondly, I really couldn’t resist my selfish desires, so I agreed. So, Captain Zhang called and invited Deputy Director Ye here.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, Deputy Director Ye agreed very happily. He said that there are not only nanmu, but also red beech and agarwood, which are suitable for making doors and windows moth-proof.
As for me, selfishly, I asked Deputy Director Ye if he could sell it. He said it was just a few pieces of scrap wood, so he gave it to me directly.
Lin was not a person who took advantage of the situation and refused to agree to anything. In the end, he persuaded Deputy Director Ye to accept only 10,000 yuan.
Director Li, this is Lin's fault and he should not take advantage of the public. If someone makes a fuss about this matter, Lin is willing to take responsibility," Lin Chuang said.
"Oh, that's it."
Upon hearing this, Wu Sibao breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhang Jinlu is involved, so this is true.
Although Lin Chuang did not mention the box of "good longevity", Wu Sibao also understood that it must be used by Lin Chuang to repay the favor.
Wu Sibao pointed at Lin Ming and complained: "You, you have two dollars to burn? Just tell me no? Is Yao Xian an outsider? You still spend 10,000 yuan..."
When I said this, I suddenly felt that what I said was wrong, and I quickly stopped talking.
"I found a box of 'Haoshou' at the scene this morning. Was it you who gave it to Yaoxian?" Li Shiqun didn't want to be dismissed, so he asked.
"So be it." Lin Chuang replied.
"Count it?" Li Shiqun asked.
"Well. At that time, Deputy Director Ye did not accept any money, so he made a request to me, saying that he wanted a 'good longevity'. So, I asked someone to give him a box, and I also said that as long as he wanted a 'good longevity'
"If you don't close the door for a day, there will be water for him to drink, and he won't be able to stop it," Lin Chuang said.
Having said this, Li Shiqun had no doubts at all.
"Good longevity" was indeed a gift from Lin Ming, but it was Ye Yaoxian who took the initiative to ask for it.
The relationship between Lin Ming and Yao Xian was also very natural, without any deliberate elements in it.
He believed in his feelings. Lin Ming gave people the impression that he was a rich man, a little bit of a charlatan, but nothing else.
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to excuse you, but I have some official business. I'll take my leave." Li Shiqun changed his title and stood up to take his leave.
"No, no, no, that's not possible. Since Director Li is here, he must let Lin do his best. Lotus, book the best private room at Jinjiang Hotel. No, that's not right."
Lin Chuang enthusiastically tried to persuade him to stay. At the end of the sentence, he seemed to have remembered that Ye Yaoxian was dead. It was too inappropriate to hold a big banquet at this time. Even if it was the Qiong Yao Banquet in heaven, Li Shiqun would not attend.
"Director Li, I'm sorry, Lin is rude." Lin Chuang quickly expressed his apology.
This performance completely dispelled Li Shiqun's suspicion of him.
This reaction is very real and right.
Li Shiqun nodded and left with Mao Yiming.
Wu Sibao whispered to Lin Ming: "Go home for dinner tonight."
After saying this, he hurriedly chased after him.
Lin Chuang went to the stairs and watched Li Shiqun and others leave. He thought to himself: "Passed the test? Li Shiqun can smell different smells from 'good longevity'. This guy is really not simple. Think about it again and see if he can
Are there any loopholes?"
Back in the house, Lin Chuang sat on the sofa and went through the process of killing Ye Yaoxian again in his mind.
…
The crime process that Li Shiqun deduced was accurate.
Lin Chuang's first step was to arrange for Ji Laoliu to cause a small car accident.
This car accident cannot be too big. If it knocks Ye Yao into the hospital first, it will be completely meaningless.
Therefore, Ji Laoliu found an unlicensed car and only scratched Ye Yaoxian. When Ye Yaoxian was dodging, he accidentally fell into the bushes on the roadside and suffered some scratches on his face and neck, that's all.
And this is exactly the effect Lin Chuang wants.
Next, Ye Yaoxian and Tu Xiaosu followed Lin Chuang's idea step by step, while Lin Chuang sent Li Honglin to secretly follow Tu Xiaosu and see clearly the packaging of the red potion she bought.
The next day, Li Honglin disguised himself, went to a clinic in the French Concession, ordered a bottle of identical red potion, mixed it with poison, and then sneaked in to replace the potion bottle when Ye Yaoxian and Tu Xiaosu were not at home.
At 11:30 p.m., after Pan and his daughter left, Li Honglin felt that time was almost up, so he sneaked into Ye Yaoxian's room again, first tested Ye Yaoxian's breathing, and found that he had died, and then replaced the poison bottle.
Before leaving, he saw the fan humming. He didn't know what he thought, so he turned it off and quietly walked out of the door.
Doing these things is effortless for a habitual thief like Li Honglin.
At the same time, he followed Lin Chuang's instructions and wore gloves on his hands and shoe covers on his feet, leaving no trace at all.
As for that call, it was made by one of Zhao Yuanxiang's subordinates.
That subordinate did not live near Heiward Road, but lived on Old Target Road, which was separated by seven or eight blocks.
Because he was worried that taking a rickshaw was unsafe, Lin Chuang specifically asked Zhao Yuanxiang not to take a rickshaw but to take a tram instead. At the same time, he must be well disguised and all disguises should not be seen on the tram.
Even so, Lin Chuang was not at ease, fearing that someone would remember the other characteristics of that subordinate.
Therefore, early yesterday morning, we arranged for the subordinate to leave his residence and hide in the French Concession.
…
Lin Chuang went through it all over again and made sure there were no mistakes.
He believed that from the few clues left behind, even if Li Shiqun could deduce the method of committing the crime, he was just messing around in the Japanese Concession, and his power could not penetrate into the French Concession.
He was still uneasy, so he called Li Honglin and Ji Laoliu into the room and asked them to report the details of the operation to him from beginning to end.
When he heard that Li Honglin had turned off the fan, Lin Chuang was shocked: "Hong Lin, why didn't you tell me this detail earlier?"
"This, this, what...what is this? I don't think it's important, so I didn't...didn't say it." Li Honglin was confused by Lin Chuang's reaction and stammered.
"It doesn't matter? It matters a lot!" Lin Chuang said angrily.
