Chapter 295 Death of Lu Ming
Chapter 295 Death of Lu Ming
Hong Zhiyou didn't need to think too much before shooting Lu Ming.
In this world, conscience is a must, and one dare not have a guilty conscience.
These two things are totally different.
Just like revolutionaries have conscience, so they are willing to shed blood and tears.
Similarly, bleeding means that you must use blades and guns to make the opponent fall first.
And conscience is insignificant in the face of bloody struggle.
If you want to earn more, climb higher, and live better, you are destined not to have too much conscience.
A big part of the reason for letting Lu Qiaoshan come back was the stationmaster's deep doubts about the red flags that were everywhere in "49".
The webmaster's statement about wanting to quit was fake, it was just a bait for Li and Lu.
In the officialdom, how many people can retire at the peak of their career?
What’s more, it is a lucrative government office like Jinhai Station.
But Hong Zhiyou knew that there was not much time left for Jinhai.
If possible, we only need to secretly help Mao Renfeng to take down Ma Hansan and Liu Yuzhu, and swallow up the property they transferred to Hong Kong Island before we can withdraw.
After all, you can earn less money, but you must protect your life.
Therefore, in Hong Zhiyou's eyes, Lu Qiaoshan and Li Ya gradually became useless pawns instead of being mutually restrained.
The reason why I didn't act in a hurry was because I was concerned about Old Wu's thoughts.
Although Old Wu expressed his concerns, he believed deep down that the National Army, with the support of the American planes and artillery and the Chairman's wisdom, would be the ultimate winner.
You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
Likewise, he was unable to convince Old Wu that the Nationalist Army would soon completely collapse.
Jinhai will be liberated on January 1 next year.
The days when Old Wu sat quietly in Jinhai, watching the fight between tigers and making some spare money were less than half a year in total.
Don't take action against Li and Lu.
But Hong Zhiyou didn't have so many concerns when it came to his eldest nephew Lu Ming.
"Old Zhou, be careful." Hong Zhiyou reminded.
"rest assured.
"Lin Tian has already stepped on it. I'll just go over and clear out the rats."
Zhou Yan waved his hand, carrying the gun box and disappeared into the night.
Hong Zhiyou looked at his watch and quickly returned to the car.
He drove to a nearby public telephone booth, put on black gloves, picked up the receiver and dialed the number of Qian Siming's residence:
"Hello.
"A thunderstorm is coming in five minutes, don't forget to collect the flowers."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, returned to the Mu Mansion, took Wanqiu to take a bath together, and studied new ways to play.
……
Zhou Yan walked like a night owl to the residential building opposite Qian Siming.
creak.
He pushed open a wooden door, climbed up the wooden stairs to the second floor, then opened a small door and went up to the small balcony in the attic.
Lin Tian, wearing a nightgown, was smoking.
"Old Zhou, you are so slow. I have been waiting for a long time." Lin Tian said.
"How is it?" Zhou Yan asked.
“That building has a good shooting position. I’ve seen that we can go around it from here.
“I have already pried open the attic door for you.
"There's a guy from the action team keeping watch on the second floor.
"You have to kill him first." Lin Tian said.
"Why don't you kill him?" Zhou Yan said dissatisfiedly.
“My sister-in-law believes in Buddhism.
"I was afraid that my hands would be covered in blood and bring bad luck to her.
"Besides, I have to keep my hands to touch my little sister's face. It's not worth killing these cats and dogs."
Lin Tian laughed dryly in a nonchalant manner.
Zhou Yan knew that the sister-in-law he was talking about was Hong Zhiyou's housekeeper Ji Qing.
"Get out of here."
He glared at Lin Tian and said.
"Yes." Lin Tian put out the cigarette and jumped lightly from the roof of the attic.
"Damn, Yan Zi Li San is really quite lively."
Zhou Yan stuck his head out to take a look down, then crouched down and crossed the narrow alleys between the houses and went straight into the attic of the shooting point.
Arrived at the second floor.
A member of the action team was standing by the window, watching with a teacup in hand.
Zhou Yan pulled out a sharp knife from his waist and reached over, holding his breath.
Swish.
He suddenly grabbed the man's neck.
Three swift strikes pierced the heart.
After the man stopped moving, he pulled the body aside and set up the sniper rifle at the window.
“Shit.
"I am a disciple of the Axe Gang, and I actually use this thing."
He aimed at the opposite window.
There is a pot of red roses there.
……
Opposite the old house.
Qian Siming put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Liu Shan who was cutting fruit:
"Liu Shan, go to the bookstore and buy me some books. Here is the list."
“Buy books?
"How about I go?"
Lu Ming, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and drinking tea, stood up and said.
"Teacher, I don't have any money on me." Liu Shan said.
"Oh.
"Unfortunately, I don't have much on me.
"When we arrived at Jinhai, the spies took away all the gifts we gave. Do you think this is enough?"
Qian Siming pretended to be embarrassed and searched his pocket, taking out a few French francs.
"Cao Fang, why don't you go." Liu Shan said to Lu Ming hurriedly after seeing it.
“Woo.
"My stomach feels a little uncomfortable, so you should go."
Lu Ming was not stupid. When he saw that he had to pay for the book himself, he quickly went to the bathroom.
"Professor Qian, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
A sneer appeared on Liu Shan's lips, and he quickly walked out with the list of books in his pocket.
After a while, Lu Ming pretended to be happy and walked out.
"Teacher, let me pour you a cup of tea." He tried to change the topic.
"Ah."
Qian Siming nodded.
After the tea was brewed and they chatted for a while, he said:
"Cao Fang, it's windy outside, is it going to rain?"
"Yeah." Lu Ming nodded.
"No wonder my knees have been hurting all day. By the way, I have a pot of flowers on the windowsill upstairs. Can you help me put it away?
"My legs hurt so I stopped moving."
Qian Siming suddenly remembered this and gave the order.
"Okay, teacher."
Lu Ming didn't doubt it and got up and went upstairs.
At the windowsill.
He reached out to take the pot of bright roses.
The flower is blood red, just like a rose.
very beautiful.
Just as his fingers touched the edge of the flowerpot, a bullet flew towards him accurately.
Woo!
The bullet pierced Lu Ming's forehead.
The huge impact force caused his body to fly backwards.
boom!
Lu Ming fell heavily on the wooden floor.
A huge bloody hole appeared between his eyebrows, and blood mixed with pulp ooted out.
"It hurts..."
Lu Ming's eyes rolled wide, his body twitched slightly a few times, and then he became motionless.
Qian Siming heard the noise downstairs and quickly ran upstairs.
As soon as I saw Lu Ming lying in a pool of blood, I knew that this guy was beyond saving.
“The struggle, this is the struggle.
“Without bloodshed and sacrifice, there will be no light.
"Think about Mr. Shouchang, Wen Yiduo, Li Gongpu..."
He quickly calmed his inner anxiety, took a few deep breaths, went back downstairs, and shouted outside:
"Someone, come quickly!"
……
Guilin Road.
Lu Qiaoshan covered his chest with his hands, closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa.
Not only did he fail to catch Chen Yan, but he also made Li Ya, the villain, feel disgusted. He was really holding his breath, and his chest was aching badly these days.
"Qiaoshan, if it doesn't work, go to the foreign hospital for a checkup tomorrow."
His wife Li Guifen brought over the prepared medicine soup.
“Check what?
“Everyone has some problems when they get older.
"Wu Jingzhong also has prostatitis and high blood pressure. Put it here, put it here."
Lu Qiaoshan said impatiently.
"You, why are there so many materials? Can you finish them all?" Li Guifen said.
"You're not going to check on the stationmaster and Chi You, are you?"
She took a look and frowned in surprise.
"necessary.
“Do you think they are good birds?
"Hong Zhiyou took the Cao Gang's account book, kept it in his hands, and asked Wu Jingzhong to beat me in person to threaten me.
"You are trying to take advantage of me." Lu Qiaoshan said coldly.
“Why are they like this?
"Haven't you always had a good relationship?" Li Guifen asked puzzledly.
“Childish and superficial.
“Why do you think Wu Jingzhong asked me to come back?
“It’s just that Li Ya was keeping a close eye on him, delaying their money-making efforts, so he pulled me back to fight.
“I was just taking advantage of the situation.
"Anyway, one of me and Li Ya must die. Besides, becoming the deputy station chief is also a good choice.
“Of course, I’m not a shit-eating kid like Marqui.
“Here is the evidence I organized and collected.
“Wu Jingzhong’s corruption, including evidence of collusion with the traitor Mu Liancheng.
“There are also Hong Zhiyou and Yu Zecheng who have dealings with Hongpiao.
“The most important one is this one from Liu Xiong.
"Liu Xiong was executed on the orders of Wu Jingzhong. Lao Wu told me this himself before he died because he was afraid of being silenced. This is the recording he made in front of me.
“When necessary, I will give this tape to Li Ya.
"Let him help me bite back at Old Dog Wu."
Lu Qiaoshan pointed to the tape on the table.
"Qiaoshan, if you keep fighting like this, I'm really scared.
"Stationmaster, Secretary Hong and Li Ya are not easy to mess with.
"Or let's not fight about it.
"Now that you're a high-ranking official with enough money to spend, isn't it good to live a stable life?" Li Guifen advised worriedly.
"Look, it's here again?
“If I don’t fight, others will. If I don’t fight, I won’t be rich. If I don’t fight, my son will have no future.
"Why is Hong Zhiyou so successful?
“Isn’t it Wu Jingzhong who is backing him up after all?
"Who does Lu Ming have? Who can he rely on?
"just me!
"If I don't fight, who will?"
Lu Qiaoshan said unhappily.
As he said this, he gulped down the medicine.
For the sake of his son, he must cooperate well. Every day he lives means a little more opportunity and future.
"I am only one step away from completely keeping an eye on this father-in-law and son-in-law."
He wiped his mouth and continued.
"Which step?" Li Guifen asked.
“Yu Zecheng!
"He is most likely Mount Emei, or the deep sea."
Lu Qiaoshan raised his index finger.
"You, didn't you say it was Li Ya? The evidence is conclusive." Li Guifen said.
"Li Ya is not.
"I have already arrested Lao Lang, who was reselling Shangbo's information, through the inspection team.
“Old Wolf, these materials are collected.
“I have arrested thirteen people along this line. Guess who the final source is?
"Xie Ruolin from the Party Communication Bureau.
“The ones who are close to Xie Ruolin are Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou.
"I have every reason to believe that this information was most likely compiled by Yu Zecheng himself and then sold on the black market by Xie Ruolin.
"The purpose is still the same, which is to let me bite Li Ya.
"I got the materials from Shang Bo, which are indeed very unfavorable to Li Ya.
“I want to believe it is, and that’s why.
"Similarly, they also took advantage of my hatred for Li Ya and wanted to use me. If I can't even see through this, then all my years in the Military Control Commission would have been in vain."
Lu Qiaoshan sneered and said, "Think about the fact that Li Ya found out about Chen Qiuping, and Gu Youniu turned against them, including the fact that Liu Xiong had been holding on to Mrs. Yu.
“The answer is already very obvious.
"Yu Zecheng is Mount Emei, or maybe the current deep sea."
He continued.
"Then doesn't that mean Ma Kui was... wrongly accused?" Li Guifen was stunned.
"certainly.
“Wu Jingzhong is an expert.
"He hooked me with a carrot, and I personally helped him send Ma Kui to his grave.
"Li Ya, Ma Kui, and Liu Xiong are essentially the same kind of people.
“So, Li Ya won’t be a red ticket.
“Only red voters would want and be willing to create and describe others as red voters.”
Lu Qiaoshan made a gesture, and Li Guifen understood and made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea to remove the bitterness.
"Then you should report it to Deputy Director Zheng or Wu Jingzhong immediately." Li Guifen said.
"madness.
"I've been talking for so long, why don't you understand?
"Wu Jingzhong, Yu Zecheng, and Hong Zhiyou are all in the same boat, but Li Ya and I are the real outsiders.
"Report it to him? I can still survive.
"Didn't Liu Xiong die because of investigating Yu Zecheng?
"We are still lacking some substantial evidence. We can't kill Yu Zecheng like Li Ya and Ma Kui did.
“But I already have some idea.
"Once Yu Zecheng is arrested, the crime of shielding Hong Piao and colluding with Hong Piao to extort and blackmail will be enough to get Wu Jingzhong fired.
"Don't worry, I've secured the position of stationmaster of Jinhai Station.
"There is no time to rush. First, we need to make merit for Lu Ming and get Li Ya away. Then we can take action against their iron triangle."
Lu Qiaoshan patted the intelligence information he had collected and said with a proud look on his face.
Just as he was talking, the phone rang.
He took a deep breath, glanced at Li Guifen and said, "I hope there is good news from Qian Siming and he has caught a big fish."
"Yes, that's for sure." Li Guifen nodded obediently in agreement.
"Hello, it's me." Lu Qiaoshan grabbed the receiver.
"Stationmaster?
"It's so late, do you need anything from me?
"what?
"You, say it again.
"I know...I know. I'll come right over."
Pfft!
As soon as he hung up the phone, Lu Qiaoshan's body swayed, his vision went dark, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Qiaoshan, Qiaoshan!
"What happened? Don't scare me."
Li Guifen quickly helped him up, tears streaming down her face out of fear.
"My son is gone..." Lu Qiaoshan's face was ashen and tears flowed from his eyes.
"Wha...what?
"Qiaoshan, you, don't scare me, Mingzi..."
Li Guifen was struck by lightning and was completely stunned.
“The station chief is already at the Army Hospital.
"Let's go.
"Go see my son for the last time."
Lu Qiaoshan wiped away his tears and cheered up.
Army Hospital Morgue.
Wu Jingzhong, Li Ya, Yu, Hong and others were already waiting in the corridor.
"Stationmaster Wu, my Lu Ming, he really..." Li Guifen asked crying.
"Qiaoshan, Guifen, let's go in and take a look."
Wu Jingzhong said sadly.
Someone immediately opened the door of the morgue.
Lu Qiaoshan stood at the door, trembling all over. His legs felt like they weighed a thousand pounds and he couldn't move.
He has been to this place several times.
Some of the people inside were sent away by him.
Some were given away by others.
But they were all just bystanders who felt sad and felt no pain.
I never dreamed that this day would come.
call!
He took a deep breath and walked in with heavy steps.
There was a body covered with a white cloth on the iron bed inside.
Lu Qiaoshan's hands were shaking, and he was swallowing his saliva nervously. "Oh my God, this is fake. It's not Lu Ming. It's not Lu Ming."
He muttered, and suddenly pulled away the white cloth.
On the iron bed, Lu Ming lay quietly, his eyes wide open, there was a bloody hole between his eyebrows, the exposed flesh was already purple, and the dried semen and bloodstains solidified around the wound were so shocking.
A vibrant young life.
It was all gone in vain.
"Ming...Mingzai."
Li Guifen burst into tears and threw herself on the corpse, crying.
“I told you long ago not to let Mingzi come to Jinhai, but you had to get him here.
"Mr. Lu, give me back my son.
“Give me back my son.
"Give me back my son, woooo!"
She cried and grabbed Lu Qiaoshan's collar and yelled at him.
Lu Qiaoshan closed his eyes and let the tears fall.
After a moment, he suddenly wiped away his tears, his eyes were bloodshot and revealed the ferocity of a wild beast.
This is for him.
Lu Ming’s death cannot be in vain, and his blood cannot be shed in vain.
This revenge must be avenged.
Can't be sad.
That will only make your enemies happy and yourself painful.
Can't fall down.
We must turn grief into strength, take revenge, tear the murderer into pieces and grind his bones to ash.
He knew the murderer was among the people outside.
Even several.
It doesn’t matter. These people must die and be buried with Lu Ming.
Lu Qiaoshan took a deep breath, lowered his head and walked out.
"Qiaoshan, I am deeply saddened by your loss.
"I have asked Captain Li to investigate and hunt down the murderer with all his strength, and he will definitely give you and Guifen an explanation.
"Captain Li, you have a lot of people under you, so be more careful."
While Wu Jingzhong was comforting Li Ya, he also gave instructions.
"Director Lu, my condolences.
"Don't worry, I have already notified the garrison to seal the city gates, and all the personnel involved in the operation have been deployed. As long as the murderer is still in the city, he will be caught sooner or later."
Li Ya raised his eyebrows and patted Lu Qiaoshan's shoulder with a sad face.
"Captain Li, thank you." Lu Qiaoshan raised his head, looked at Li Ya and smiled.
"It's my duty." Li Ya also nodded.
Yu Zecheng and Hong Zhiyou also expressed their grief.
"Qiaoshan, why don't you put Qian Siming aside for now and let Captain Li keep an eye on him for you.
"Have you dealt with Lu Ming's funeral first?"
Wu Jingzhong said again.
He didn't mean to disgust Lu Qiaoshan.
According to the rules of the Bureau of Secrets, Li Ya is usually in charge of operations and field work.
If Lu Qiaoshan hadn't been using the name of the inspection team, the job of protecting Qian Siming should have been Li Ya's.
"No.
"Let Sheng Xiang keep an eye on it first. In case any red-ticket items are caught, it will also comfort Lu Ming's spirit in heaven." Lu Qiaoshan said.
"Okay, let's do this." Wu Jingzhong nodded in agreement.
Li Ya curled his lips and didn't say anything.
"Let's go."
Wu Jingzhong glanced at the three of them, turned around and walked away with quick and decisive steps.
Got to the car.
Yu Zecheng was driving.
Wu Jingzhong and Hong Zhiyou sat in the back row.
“The situation in Jinhai is too complicated.
"Not everyone can handle this. Lu Qiaoshan was too careless."
He frowned and said lightly.
This plan was planned by Hong Zhi. The original intention was to fire a shot to scare Qian Siming and Lu Qiaoshan so as to break the "fishing" trap and allow Lu Qiaoshan to move quickly to find an opportunity.
But unexpectedly, Hong Zhi shot Lu Ming dead with one shot.
“Such people do not deserve sympathy.
“What is this called?
“Karma has always worked.
"His hands are stained with the blood of so many students, and this is what he deserves.
"No one will be spared by heaven."
Wu Jingzhong shook his head and sighed.
"Zhiyou, who do you think did it?" He turned and looked at Hong Zhiyou.
“Red ticket.
"Or Li Ya?
"Or maybe the party has connections with the bureau." Hong Zhiyou said.
"is it?"
Wu Jingzhong frowned in dissatisfaction:
“We have investigated the scene and found an American sniper rifle. This new type of sniper rifle is not something that everyone can get.
"Have you ever thought that someone might throw this basin of dirty water on you?"
"Li Ya has been very close to the Americans recently, and he got the Dragon Gang's account books related to opium smuggling from the Americans and asked his friends to pass them to Fu Zuoyi." Hong Zhiyou said lightly.
"That's Li Ya." Wu Jingzhong breathed a sigh of relief.
"He killed someone's son and took him to the Suppression Headquarters to file a complaint. Li Ya is really cruel." He folded his arms and continued.
"Yes.
"These two are jackals, teacher must be careful." Hong Zhiyou reminded secretly.
“Let them bite it first.
"Zhiyou, go get some flour from the US military tomorrow.
"I had a chat with Governor Li last time. The legal tender has reached 600 trillion yuan, and the higher authorities are going to continue to increase the printing of money.
“When the country was first liberated, legal tender was still usable.
“Now, in just three years, the money printing has increased more than a thousand times, and the money is just like paper.
“Some people even use low-denomination legal tender to make papermaking raw materials and still make a profit. This really shows us what money is not as good as paper.
"The money people had yesterday could buy a pound of rice, but today they can't even buy an egg.
“On the other hand, during the Red Ticket Movement, land reform was in full swing, and farmers were given land.
"When they were fighting, it was the common people who provided military aid. With just a piece of bread, a steamed bun, and a mouthful of porridge, they managed to raise the military force to nearly two million.
"As for us, what we consume every day is the Japanese-occupied property and American aid in the national treasury.
"Why.
“It’s not optimistic.
“My old classmates and friends are very panicked now. They asked me to get some supplies from Jinhai because they are afraid of running out of food and are eager to stock up.
"I have a list here. Please prepare a batch and ship it to them."
Wu Jingzhong took a list from his pocket and handed it to Hong Zhiyou.
"Teacher, the price..." Hong Zhiyou asked.
"Do you even need to ask?
"These people are not short of money, they are just worried about having no food," said Wu Jingzhong.
"Understood.
"I'll go shopping this afternoon." said Hong Zhiyou.
Arrived at No. 1 Changde Road.
Hong and Yu got out of the car to see him off.
Wu Jingzhong took two steps and then thought:
“By the way, Ma Hansan has been active in Jingling recently, campaigning for Li Zongren’s vice-presidential campaign.
"The Chairman is inclined towards Sun Ke and is now very angry with Ma Hansan.
"There are rumors that Mao Renfeng is collecting evidence of Ma Hansan's corruption and may soon take action.
"When you are free, meet his secretary.
"Let her persuade the emperor to speed up the transfer of property to Hong Kong.
"Otherwise, Mao Renfeng would have gotten it for nothing."
"Okay, teacher." Hong Zhiyou took the order.
"Also, the New Year is coming soon. Your wife, Ruirui, and the children want to come back. What do you think?" Wu Jingzhong rubbed his hands and looked at Hong and Yu. Obviously, he did not regard Yu Zecheng as an outsider.
"Teacher, it's the New Year and the whole family is reunited. It's nice to be back." Yu Zecheng said with a smile.
"I miss my child too. Why don't you come back?" Hong Zhi nodded and handed over the black hat.
“Then it’s settled.
"By the way, put the issue of second child on the agenda." Wu Jingzhong pointed at him, took the hat and put it on his head.
……
Three days later.
Lu Qiaoshan returned to the station and sipped his coffee haggardly.
"Brother Shan, we have a clue about the gun." Sheng Xiang walked in quickly and closed the door.
"Speak." Lu Qiaoshan said, holding a coffee cup.
"I had someone identify that gun, and it is indeed the latest American sniper rifle. Even in the Marine Corps, it is newly equipped and in short supply. It is not sold outside.
"I suspect that Hong Zhiyou was behind this."
Shengxiang Road.
"No, it's Li Ya." Lu Qiaoshan's eyes flashed and he said coldly.
