Story Six: "Detective" He Hongfei
It was a morning in the autumn of 1931, and when He Hongfei stepped into the gate of the police station, the sound of greeting never stopped. "Third brother, come back." "Third brother, what good things did you bring me back to Beiping?" "Captain He, are you in such a hurry?" Chat. He Hongfei nodded at the people and hurried to the Visiting Bureau. Pushing open the door of the deputy director's office, he opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that there was a murder?!" At this time, Director Wan, who was sitting at his desk reading the newspaper, slowly turned the newspaper over, and said to him without raising his head: "It is getting more and more unruly, and I will not knock on the door when I come in." He Hongfei hurriedly asked, "Old Wan, don't sell officials, is there any?" Seeing Deputy Director Wan, he shook his head while putting away the newspaper and said impatiently: "I really convinced you, do you have a dog nose or what?" There are homicides. However, the murderer was caught on the spot and the case was solved. He Hongfei said, "So simple? Deputy Director Wan said, "Not simply, why don't you still expect the murderer to get away with it?" It is that you do not stop, the case is in the hands of your apprentice Shan Wen. Go ask him! "Say it and kick him out." This is the protagonist of the story, He Hongfei, because he is the third oldest in the family, and people who are familiar with him are called He Laosan. He is currently the captain of the Tianjin Police Department and the detective brigade.
"When the crime occurred, it was the case reported by the old mother. The old mother's surname is Feng, and it has been 2 years since she came to the deceased's house. On the day of the crime, Mama Feng went to the East Pontoon Vegetable Market to buy vegetables and came back, and saw that the courtyard door was not closed, so she came to the living room from outside. As he walked, he shouted, "Is sir at home?" "As soon as I stepped into the living room, I saw that the man of the house was holding a dagger in his hand, and the hostess was lying in a pool of blood. At that time, he was frightened to "ah" and ran away after losing the things in his hand, shouting while running: "Killed, killed!" "I came out just in time to run into our patrol brothers." The patrol officer followed her in and grabbed the man who committed the crime. When the criminal was caught, the man was probably scared silly and did not resist. It wasn't until I got to the innings that I cried out for wrong! That's the whole thing. "There is human evidence, physical evidence, a very simple case." The single article briefly introduces the facts of the case, and finally does not forget to add a sentence.
"Is it really simple?" He Hongfei asked. "Master, you have all the human and physical evidence, isn't it simple?" Shan Wen asked in disbelief. When He Hongfei saw that he was not convinced, he dragged a chair and sat down, so he asked him: "Then what is the motive for the killing?" Shan Wen also sat down, picked up Feng's mother's record and handed it to He Hongfei and said, "Master, according to Feng's mother, a few days before the incident, I overheard Mr. and Mrs. Feng arguing!" The quarrel was quite fierce, and at that time the wife said to the husband: "It is not our family, where is your today." I'm going to talk to the old man about what you're doing, and see if you're still crazy. You ungrateful dog thing! "It is not difficult to see from the old mother's confession that the murderer must have done something to apologize to the woman, and he was afraid that the matter would be revealed." So kill people. He Hongfei took the transcript and looked at it carefully for a while, then asked, "Did the murderer admit it?" Shan Wen scratched his head and said a little weakly: "That's not true, the murderer was caught and began to cry out for justice." Ask him if he says anything. There is no confession from him. After listening to Shan Wen's answer, He Hongfei stood up and asked him to go with him. Shan Wen asked where to go? "Go to the crime scene!"
At No. 6, Jurongli, Guangxing Street, when He Hongfei saw this small western-style building, he couldn't help but ask: "What is this for, the house is good." Shan Wen introduced while walking, the owner of this house is called Wang Qingsen, who is a comprador. The deceased, Lin Guilan, was his wife. The house used to be japanese, named Koji Sakata. A few days ago, Sakata received a telegram from his father that he was seriously ill and hurried back to China. He sold the house to Wang Qingsen, and Wang Qingsen moved in. While they were talking, the two entered the courtyard. The front yard is not large, and there are two rooms on the first floor in addition to the living room, dining room, kitchen, and storage room. Shan Wen pointed to one of the rooms to the south and said that this was the old mother's bedroom. He Hongfei pointed to the north room and asked, "So this one?" ”。 Shan Wen said: "It is the mane, the mane returned to his hometown two days ago, and he has not returned." He Hongfei asked, "They still have a beard in their house, why didn't you say it earlier?" Shan Wen said: "She was not there at the time of the crime, and I didn't think it had much to do with the case, so I didn't say it." He Hongfei knocked on Shan Fei's head with his hand, "You think, it's what you think!" We must pay attention to every link, the truth is often hidden in the details. Why did she go back to her hometown? Shan Wen touched his head and whispered, "I didn't ask." He Hongfei just wanted to re-educate him for two sentences, when he suddenly heard a voice in the backyard. He sped to the backyard, only to see a figure coming out of the wall. He Hongfei shouted, "Stop! "Quickly climbed over the wall and chased up. Over the wall, I saw a medium-sized figure running toward the outside of the alley. Without saying a word, chase it straight. One runner after another, and soon came to the Japanese Concession. Seeing the man, he showed his papers to the military police guarding the outside of the lease, and entered the concession. Three danglings and two danglings are gone. He Hongfei stopped where he was, and at this time Shan Wen also caught up. He stopped and asked, "Why don't you chase?" He Hongfei pulled him aside, came to the side and whispered, "Running into the Japanese Concession, it's a Japanese!" Let's go back first and think about it in the long run. ”
The sudden appearance of the Japanese made He Hongfei believe even more that there was a problem in this case. Wang Qingsen was interrogated overnight that night. "What's your name?" What for? Why kill your wife? "It's three questions. Suddenly, Wang Qingsen panicked, and hurried to distinguish: "Sir, I was wronged, I did not kill anyone!" He Hongfei did not hurry to take out a cigarette from the cigarette box and light it himself. He took another stick and handed it to Wang Qingsen, who trembled and took the cigarette and inhaled it fiercely. Probably because it was too hasty, and I was choked by smoke and coughed continuously. When he eased up a bit, He Hongfei asked, "You said you didn't kill anyone, so why is the knife in your hand?" Wang Qingsen hurriedly argued: "Guilan was already lying in the living room when I went back, and I rushed up to pick her up and saw that she had a knife inserted in her chest, and I pulled it out in a hurry." At this time, Mama Feng was returning from outside and saw that I was holding a knife. She ran out shouting "Killed", probably because she had misunderstood. ”
"Then tell me about the day." He Hongfei asked. Wang Qingsen said slightly: "It was a Sunday, my company is fine, rest at home." As usual, we finished our breakfast. Guilan packed up a bit and went out with her bag. Oh, forgot to say. My wife is a devout Catholic who goes to The Church every Sunday for Mass. She went out the door with Mama Feng that day. Shortly after they left. I got a call from a post office saying there was a registered parcel and asked me to go to the post office to pick it up. I grabbed my coat and went out, remembering to lock it when I went out. I called a rickshaw and went to the post office on Rongxing Avenue, asked the driver to wait for me outside, and went into the post office to pick up the package. But it was also strange that there was no package for me in the post office. For this reason, I also had a fight with the manager on duty. I got out and got into the rickshaw and went home. When I came to the alley entrance, I had just paid the fare, and when I turned around, I was hit by a person in a trench coat and almost fell. I yelled at the person who hit me and scolded twice: Hurry up and reincarnate! Grab what to grab, walk without long eyes? The man muttered something I didn't hear clearly, bowed a little, and hurried away. I walked to the door, looked at the door and hid it, and thought that Mama Feng had returned. While shouting, Mama Feng came to the living room. Suddenly seeing Guilan lying on the ground, he went up and hugged her. The next thing I've already said. ”
Then, He Hongfei asked, "What is your usual relationship with your wife?" Wang Qingsen said: "Our relationship is very harmonious, and there are very few times when we have a red face." "Lie! Just two days before the accident, someone heard you arguing, and your wife scolded you for being ungrateful. Is there such a thing?! He Hongfei asked loudly. Wang Qingsen's face suddenly turned pale, and his voice trembled slightly, asking, "How do you know?" He Hongfei said, "Don't care how I know." You just did something sorry for your wife and watched it fall apart. The wife wants to withdraw her support for you. You were angry and killed her. Unfortunately, he was bumped into by Feng Mama and was caught. Isn't it!? "No, it's not. I really didn't kill my wife. "Wang Qingsen's whole body became excited." So you honestly explain what's going on!? He Hongfei asked. Okay, I said I said.... My wife and I quarreled because of Ah Xiang. Ah Xiang is Guilan's personal maid, every time I have a fight with Guilan, she comes to comfort me, once or twice, I actually found that I like her. It's just a good thing. Just a few days ago, Guilan found out, quarreled with me, and sent Ah Xiang back to her hometown. But I really didn't kill my wife! I've said it all, believe me! "The mood grew more and more agitated. Seeing this, He Hongfei confessed: "Bring the suspect back." He walked out of the interrogation room with Shan Wen. At this time, it was already dark, he Hongfei stretched out his loins, and instructed Shan Wen: "Pay close attention to implementing what the suspect said, the post office, the church, the rickshaw puller, and Ah Xiang in his hometown." Find out what's going on. Shan Wen responded and grasped the implementation.
Fast forward three days, after all aspects of the efforts finally got the news. Only to see Shan Wen running back from outside with a proud look. He Hongfei said, "Master, if this case is broken, you have to give me a big credit." You don't know what Tiring These Two Days Have Tired Me. "Before he could finish speaking, He Hongfei asked him about the result." First, the post office manager was found and confirmed that the suspect had been to the post office on the morning of the incident. In the words of the manager, I have never seen such an unreasonable person! Next, look for a rickshaw driver. It took a lot of trouble to find the coachman in the morning, and according to him, he did pull Wang Qingsen that day. Ah Xiang from his hometown also had news. After being interrogated by his brothers over there, Ah Xiang admitted that he was sent back to his hometown by his wife because he had an affair with Wang Qingsen. And after I went back, I never saw Wang Qingsen again. I went to church again, found Father Smith and a few parishioners and asked, Lin Guilan did not go to Mass that day! "She didn't go to Mass?" He Hongfei said. "Yes, a few parishioners said that Mrs. Wang would go every week, but she didn't go that day." "It turned out to be so," He Hongfei said thoughtfully.
"In this way, you find a few brothers to put on plain clothes and stand guard outside No. 6 Jurongli on Guangxing Street." What is the situation of attention observation? Report as soon as you have a situation. After commanding shan wen, He Hongfei turned and left. Shan Wen asked in the back, "Master, what are you going to do?" Only to hear He Hongfei answer: "Interrogate Wang Qingsen!" In the interrogation room, there were only two people, Wang Qingsen and He Hongfei. He Hongfei sat opposite Wang Qingsen and conveniently lit a cigarette and handed it to Wang Qingsen. "Tell me about this Sakata Hiroji, who do you usually associate with?"he Hongfei asked. "Most of the people who come here are doing business, and from time to time I can see people from the army." "National Army?" He Hongfei asked. "No, Japanese. It is close to the Japanese Concession, and Hiroji Sakata has many friends on loan. "Think about it again, what's different about the family when you get home that day?" Only to see Wang Qingsen's eyebrows locked in thinking about something, "No! Everything was the same as before. "When Sakata Hengji lived at No. 6 Jurongli, was there anything different from now?" It turned out that the Sakata family lived upstairs, and downstairs was his office. When I moved in, there were desks and chairs on the first floor and cabinets for documents, and I removed them and added new furniture. Only some of the original decorations I still have: a pair of vases from the late Qing Dynasty, a route map, a safe, an ancient clock. "What was in the safe?" He Hongfei asked. Wang Qingsen replied: "Originally, Sakata put the ledger bills, but he emptied them when he left. I think it can still be used and left. "Okay, that's it for today. When I got back, I remembered something and told the police officer. He Hongfei finished speaking, turned and left the interrogation room. Before leaving, he instructed the guard: "Give Mr. Wang a comfortable place and bring him some food." He came to me as soon as he had a situation. ”
Two more days passed, and on this day He Hongfei was reading the file in his office. Shan Wen came in from outside and said that there was something to report. Shan Wen said: "Recently, two people appeared near JurongLi No. 6, and I asked my brother to follow them. He Hongfei asked who was it? Shan Wen said the names of the two people: "Li Jichun and Zhang Bi." "It's them, it's them!" He Hongfei clapped his hands happily. (These two men were famous traitors at that time) called Shan Wen and brought a few brothers, and they once again came to No. 6 in Jurongli. Entering the house, He Hongfei went straight to the route map hanging on the first floor and reached out to take him off. Flip to the back and open the box. A series of actions are skillful and sharp, and the single text next to it is confused. Busy asking Master what he was looking for? But seeing He Hongfei's originally relaxed expression, he gradually became solemn. "Why not?". I picked up the vase on the table and looked at it. "Still not!" Just when the single text is confused. He Hongfei walked to the ancient bell, opened the bell lid and touched it inside. The frown that was locked tightly finally relaxed. I saw him take out a book from the ancient clock. "That's what you're looking for!" As he spoke, he looked over, and his brow, which had just stretched, tightened again! After a while, He Hongfei took the book into his arms. After two more words of instruction with Shan Wen, he went to the police department alone.
On November 8, 1931, a group of people launched a riot near Haiguang Temple. Under the cover of Japanese artillery fire, it approached the city. It is directed at the police agency, the Tianjin Municipal Government, and the Hebei Provincial Government. For a time, traffic in the city was cut off, shops were closed, and many innocent citizens died. But at this time, the Tianjin security team composed of the Northeast Army suddenly came out, giving the rioters a head-on blow. More than 60 people were killed and more than 300 arrested. The rioters fled back to the Japanese concession in a hurry. This uprising, organized by the Japanese, was thwarted.
In a tavern, two masters and apprentices sat around a table. Shan Wen looked at Master with a look of admiration and asked when Master had known about the Jurong Li No. 6 murder case, which was not a simple murder case. "From the time it was discovered that the hostess had appeared unexpectedly, in a place where it should not have been. It can be said that the whole case was an accident. In fact, these people are looking for something, they want to take advantage of the fact that there is no one at home to find something. They first figured out that the hostess went to Mass every Sunday, and then figured out the time when the maid was selling vegetables, and then turned the host away by phone. It was done seamlessly, but I did not expect that the unexpected return of the hostess broke this plan. Forced to kill the hostess. After saying this, He Hongfei took a sip from his wine glass.
Shan Wen asked again, "Then how did Master know that this was a Conspiracy of the Japanese?" He Hongfei picked up the chopsticks and knocked on Shan Wen's head. How are you getting stupid! You forgot where the people we were chasing went? Another one, you don't know who Li Jichun and Zhang Bi are! That day, Wang Qingsen met the murderer at the mouth of the hutong, and bowed when he finished speaking, except for the Japanese! At that time, I felt that there must be something important that attracted the Japanese to visit Jurongli No. 6 many times. It wasn't until that day that we found the book and read the contents that I understood. The Japanese used Hiroji Sakata's company to co-opt the scum in an attempt to get them to organize a riot to overthrow our government, and some of the money flowed in the book. Before Sakata Returned to China, he perhaps inadvertently or deliberately hid in the bell. The Japanese were anxious to get it back. Only then did there was the Jurong Li No. 6 murder case. God also has eyes, let us get this news, have prepared. I don't know how many people will die! Shan Wen also wanted to pat Master's ass again, but suddenly saw That Master become silent. I heard Master say, "Although I was lucky enough to avoid this time, the Japanese people will not die of self-forgetfulness, and they will still find trouble for us, and Tianjin will not be peaceful in the future." Before long, the Japanese organized many riots and added troops to Tianjin. The Nationalist government accepted the unreasonable demands of the Japanese army and on November 29 withdrew its troops stationed in Tianjin.
