Chapter 380 [Applying Pressure] (1)

Luo Lie said: "I have some clues. An Zhai's disappearance case should be related to theft, and the previous arson case was the same."

Inspector Liu was a sensible person and nodded, "I will immediately list this as the focus of the investigation, contact all police stations in Huangpu to focus on investigating criminal incidents of theft."

Luo Lie said: "Then please Inspector Liu."

When Luo Lie returned home, Ye Qinghong had already called the French Consul Monpero. On the phone, Monpero promised to limit the date of investigation to seven days. This was the greatest favor Monpero could give. After all, Zhang Lingfeng was sensitive. If something happened to him in the French Concession, it would inevitably cause shock to the upper class of the French Concession, and even alarm the diplomatic level between countries.

Ye Qinghong put down the phone and said to Luo Lie: "I really don't understand you. Is that Inspector Liu worthy of your help?"

Luo Lie said: "He is quite kind, and he has to guide the wind for me when it comes to blind people."

Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "Insidious!"

Luo Lie sat down next to Ye Qinghong, picked up the coffee in front of him, and Ye Qinghong said, "It's cold, I'll change it to you."

Luo Lie shook his head and said, "Don't bother, who hijacked Zhang Lingfeng?"

Ye Qinghong said: "He has always regarded himself very high and self-proclaimed, but he is actually a child who never grows up. Although he is arrogant outside, he can't raise his head in front of his father Zhang Tongwu. Zhang Tongwu has been trying his best to cultivate him. But he is not good at it. He commanded several battles with Xu Beishan tribe in Manchuria, and they all ended in failure. Otherwise, Zhang Tongwu would not have let him come to Huangpu."

Luo Lie said: "Zhang Lingfeng is not a bad person at heart."

Ye Qinghong said: "That Zhang Lingkong is his cousin. The situation in the Zhang family in Manchuria is not good. Xu Beishan is growing with the support of the Japanese. Now most of the Pale Mountain is in his hands. The territory of Beiman City controlled by the Zhang family is shrinking, so they will transfer their property to Huangpu in advance. This is to pave the way for the future failure of Manchuria. If Zhang Lingfeng is successful, why should Zhang Tongwu hand over such a thing to his nephew?"

Luo Liedao: "The case is very complicated."

Ye Qinghong said: "When did you become interested in solving the case? Could it be that you were influenced by that beautiful goddess detective?"

Luo Lie looked at her and said, "How can I smell the jealousy?"

Ye Qinghong twisted his ear and whispered: "What do you think?"

Luo Lie pointed to the newspaper on the coffee table and said, "On the surface, Zhao Huchen is indeed the biggest suspicion. Zhang Lingfeng touched his woman. Zhao Huchen must also let out this tone for this face. Kidnapping and revenge are reasonable."

Ye Qinghong nodded. The police station may gain something when checking the police station according to this clue.

Luo Lie said: "But we can think of such an obvious thing, and others can think of it. Zhao Huchen is not a fool. Now the city is full of storms and everything happens to Zhang Lingfeng, the first suspect will be him. What do you think he will do that?"

Ye Qinghong said: "This kind of vicious character may be able to face difficulties."

Luo Liedao: "This possibility is not ruled out, but there are too many enemies in the Zhang family, as far as Xubeishan in Manchuria, and Bai Yunfei from the French Concession near it."

Ye Qinghong nodded and said, "These enemies may all take advantage of this incident."

Ye Qinghong said with some concern: "Do you think Zhang Lingfeng will be in danger? After all, he helped me." Not to mention anything else, in dealing with Xiao Tianxing, if it were not for Zhang Lingfeng's help, Ye Qinghong would have been difficult to achieve his goal smoothly. Although Ye Qinghong was very disgusted with Zhang Lingfeng's pursuit, she still regarded Zhang Lingfeng as a friend.

Luo Lie said: "This is the case, I'll talk to Bai Yunfei."

Ye Qinghong said: "Do you doubt Bai Yunfei?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "If he is ruled out, the scope of the search will be narrowed. Are you right?"

Bai Yunfei heard that Luo Lie was visiting and asked someone to invite him in. The housekeeper Chang Fu brought Luo Lie to Bai Yunfei. Bai Yunfei was fiddling with the set of tea he had just obtained, the best golden nanmu, which revealed golden patterns after being moistened by the tea. A set of exquisite tea sets from Ru Kiln were placed on it, complementing each other.

Bai Yunfei smiled and said, "Brother Luo, you are here just right. See how my tea set is like?"

Luo Lie said: "I am an amateur. Anyway, the things you Mr. Bai likes are rare treasures."

Bai Yunfei said, "This is not a treasure, and it cannot be compared with the things in the palace." He said something, and he was clearly thinking about the Emerald Nine Dragon Cup and the Dongshan Sutra. Like most people, Bai Yunfei believed that Luo Lie had transferred An Zhai out.

Luo Lie sat down opposite Bai Yunfei, patiently watching Bai Yunfei make tea slowly. Bai Yunfei's technique of making tea is very skillful. You can tell at a glance that he had conducted special research in this area. Luo Lie also thought of his past stage experience, and this clever technique should be quite related to his dramatic skills.

Bai Yunfei handed the soaked cup of Qi Hong to Luo Lie. Luo Lie sniffed the tea fragrance: "Mr. Bai likes black tea?"

Bai Yunfei said: "I am a lazy person. I just took out this tea set, and the black tea is opened faster."

Luo Lie said: "It seems that I am lucky, and I accidentally took the lead."

Bai Yunfei picked up the teacup, tasted the wine and said, "Brother Luo has always been lucky."

Luo Lie said: "It turns out that Mr. Bai has been looking at me like that."

Bai Yunfei said: "I always believe that how much success a person can achieve in this world is half of luck and half of his ability. Many times luck is more important than ability." Luo Lie said: "Mr. Bai's words are always so philosophical."

Bai Yunfei smiled and said, "It's just my idea, you may not agree with it."

Luo Lie said: "How is Mr. Bai's luck?"

Bai Yunfei said: "It's pretty good, but I always feel that God is unfair to me. Am I too greedy?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "If a person does not have greed, how can this society make progress? The entire history of mankind is actually written by greed."

Bai Yunfei said: "I agree with this. If we were content with the status quo from the beginning of our ancestors, how could we have developed today?"

Luo Lie took a mouthful of tea: "I like to drink black tea with white porcelain tea sets."

Bai Yunfei said: "Let me go back and I will give you a set of Dehua white porcelain."

Luo Lie's eyes swept to the newspaper beside him: "Mr. Bai is watching the news."

Bai Yunfei smiled and said, "I have only been concerned recently, and the news has made me particularly happy." Luo Lie said, "Can I share your happiness?" Bai Yunfei said, "Zhang Lingfeng was kidnapped. Do you think I should be happy?" He laughed loudly and stopped laughing and said, "Brother Luo, do you think this is retribution? Their Zhang family insisted on stepping onto the French Concession. Such a large public concession is not enough for them to tossing?"

Luo Lie said: "Mr. Bai is just what we are talking about. If outsiders hear it, what will we say?"

Bai Yunfei said, "What did you say? I'm afraid what they say? Could it be that someone else would suspect Zhang Lingfeng's disappearance on my head?"

Luo Lie said: "Everyone's mouth can ruin gold. Even if you haven't done it, one person says you did it, two people say you did it, one person spreads it, one person spreads it, and in the end you can't explain it clearly even if you have a mouth. Just like An Zhai's case, it was obviously kidnapped, but rumors everywhere were that I hid him. Who would tell me about this principle?"

Bai Yunfei said: "If a person cares too much about what others say, he will not be able to do great things. You and I are not like this."

Luo Lie said: "Mr. Bai, I am here today to ask you to do me a favor."

Bai Yunfei nodded and said, "As long as I don't ask me to help save Zhang Lingfeng, everything else is easy to say." He is a smart person, and Luo Lie blocked his request before he could speak.

Luo Lie laughed: "Mr. Bai is really amazing."

Bai Yunfei said, "We have known each other for many years, and we still know a little. Brother Luo, you are kind-hearted and can repay grudges with kindness, but I can't. I owe you a favor, but I don't owe Zhang Lingfeng, and you don't owe him. When I was in my house, if you hadn't saved him, he would have died at that time. But afterwards, he repaid his grudges and refused to testify for you. Don't tell me that you have forgotten this."

Luo Lie said: "He was not merciful and revenge, he did not see the situation at that time."

Bai Yunfei said: "Brother, what Zhang Lingfeng did was a taboo in the world. I could only promise that I would not add any harm. As for helping him, I would never do it."

Luo Lie said: "Then let's not mention this matter, I have one more thing."

Bai Yunfei couldn't help but be stunned. He realized that Luo Lie had a backup plan. He had just said that as long as he didn't ask him to help save Zhang Lingfeng, everything else would be easy to say. Now it was like he set a trap for himself and smiled bitterly: "Brother Luo, you are still powerful."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, don't worry, it's not too difficult. Recently, thefts have occurred in Yupu Wharf."

Bai Yunfei said: "Yupu Pier is located in the public concession..." After saying that, he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll help you solve this matter."

Luo Lie said: "I heard that it was the thief who stole the sect that caused trouble."

Bai Yunfei looked at Luo Lie and guessed his thoughts. In fact, Ye Qinghong took down Yupu Pier, which made many forces in the public concession jealous. Theft may not necessarily be theft. Luo Lie said so surely, and he meant...

Luo Lie said: "Can Mr. Bai help put some pressure on them?"

Bai Yunfei understood that Luo Lie wanted to use his own hands to suppress the thief. Bai Yunfei said, "We are friends. You finally spoke to me. I can't help but agree to this."
