The shooting at Bailey Company happened at noon, and the newspaper published a special edition half a day later. I have to say, newspapers publish news very quickly these days.

Just when it was about to get off work at noon today, several men in black rushed into Baili Company. Three people died in the melee between the two sides, one of whom was Wang Deli, the boss of Baili Company.

This was an action caused by a conflict of interest and involving gangs, and the target was Wang Deli of Baili Company.

The reporter who published this article is quite resourceful as he got the inside information from the police station.

Liu Yiyan said that Wang Deli deserved it. Who made him collude with the Japanese?

Han Xiaoxiao asked him, "How do you know it must be the Japanese? The thief who stole from the pharmaceutical factory you beat up last time has already confessed that he is from the Military Control Commission!"

Su Bai watched the two arguing thoughtfully for a few minutes, then asked Liu Yiyan to go back downstairs.

"Miss Lan, do you think there is something wrong here?" Han Xiaoxiao noticed something strange from Su Bai's expression.

"I don't know. Whether Wang Deli should die or not has nothing to do with us. Come on, send a message."

After all, she was specially trained in the telecommunications class. Although Han Xiaoxiao's sending speed was slightly slower than Wan Qili's, it was entirely because she hadn't used a radio for a long time and was no longer familiar with it.

After calling the radio station of Zhou Beiwang's independent camp, he was not in the camp headquarters and did not come back until more than half an hour later.

Su Bai didn't have anything to do when he went to see Zhou Beiwang. He just felt that talking to him for a few words would make him feel more at ease. Although he had calculated countless times before that if Bi Yuming had any news back, it would most likely be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and the possibility of today was not high, but after waiting for a whole day without any news, Su Bai was still a little uneasy.

Zhou Beiwang was not in a good mood either, which could be seen from the content of the message he sent.

He was worried about the war. The Japanese army was moving south along the railway line, and the First and Second Armies were fighting a decisive battle in Zhuozhou and Baoding. However, as a person who had studied in Japan, he was well aware of the huge gap in equipment between the two sides.

Although Chairman Han had not incorporated his independent battalion into his Third Army, once the situation in Baoding was tight, the Third Army could be called up to reinforce it at any time. Even if his independent battalion did not need to go to Hebei for reinforcement, it was unlikely to stay in Longxing.

Su Bai understood the deep regret in his words and regretted not being able to transfer to Nanjing earlier through connections.

Zhou Beiwang was not afraid of fighting, he just wanted to be closer to Su Bai.

Regarding Su Bai's idea of ​​building a pharmaceutical factory in Chongqing, he shared a similar view with Bi Yuming, believing that the Nationalist government might not necessarily choose Chongqing as the location for the pharmaceutical factory.

Everything was fine at the Kong Mansion. Zhou Beiwang sent Qian Rufei to the Li Mansion every few days to inquire about the situation. The business in Linhua was good, and Kong Man and Kong Yun's carriages traveled frequently between Longxing and Linhua.

Since going to Linhua, the Sixth Aunt has rarely returned to Longxing. During the day, she sells goods in the store, and at night... I heard that she has been living with Huang Wenchang.

Almost all of Kong Chen and Kong Li's troops went into the mountains, leaving only one company in each of the three counties. Moreover, they were all understaffed companies. For example, the company headed by Bai Ying had only seventy or eighty people.

This is also for the provincial government to see.

Speaking of this, Su Bai asked Zhou Beiwang about the Kongli Iron Mine.

The provincial government gave Zhou Beiwang a task, to secretly monitor where Kong Li's ore was transported, with a focus on places other than the ironworks.

After Zhou Beiwang repaired the fortifications at Xishankou, although Kongli's iron ore was transported out of Xishan from outside Xishankou, he could clearly see from his vantage point that all of Kongli's ore was transported to Linhua's ironworks and not transported elsewhere as the provincial government suspected.

The provincial government did not tell Zhou Beiwang what other mines there were besides iron ore, and Zhou Beiwang was unable to find out.

The Xishan area is heavily guarded. I don’t know why Kong Li sent so many soldiers in there. It’s very mysterious.

Xu Laohei from the West Mountain and Yang Huasen from the North Mountain seemed to have disappeared, and there was no movement at all. However, Zhou Beiwang knew that people from the Kong Mansion were delivering food to Yang Huasen on the mountain every few days and had never stopped.

Zhou Beiwang believed that excessive peace was a precursor to a crisis. He always felt that something was about to happen.

It turns out that not only women have a sixth sense, men have it too.

Zhou Beiwang finally asked Su Bai: "Will you go back to Longxing before the pharmaceutical factory is built?"

Su Bai disappointed him, knowing that he hoped to see him again. As a soldier, he might go to the battlefield at any time, but Su Bai also knew that once Bi Yuming got the news and started building a pharmaceutical factory, he would be forced to leave in a short period of time.

After turning off the radio, Su Bai told Han Xiaoxiao to call Han Charlie and ask him to contact Guangci Hospital for a follow-up examination.

"I think your illness should be almost cured after a few more days of medication."

"Miss Lan, are you leaving Shanghai?"

"Didn't you send all the contents of the telegram? I'm afraid it's not up to me to decide whether to leave Shanghai, when to leave, and where to go."

"Take me with you!"

Su Bai looked at her and didn't answer immediately: "Call your brother first."

After a while, Han Xiaoxiao came back. In addition to telling Han Charlie about contacting Guangci Hospital tomorrow, she also asked about the gunfight that took place at Baili Company at noon today.

Since Baili Company was not within the jurisdiction of Han Charlie's police station, he was not very familiar with the specific situation. He only knew that when the gunfight occurred, several patrolmen were preparing to eat at a nearby restaurant. After hearing the gunshots, they quickly rushed to the scene and arrested an injured criminal.

Moreover, she is still a woman.

According to the criminal, she did the job for money.

The police concluded that the gang had hired someone to commit the crime, and the news in the newspaper was correct.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed." Su Bai looked at the watch and it was already twelve o'clock.

It takes a long time to communicate with Zhou Beiwang every time.

When Han Xiaoxiao was leaving, Su Bai told her that as long as the pharmaceutical factory was built and Han Xiaoxiao was willing to go, she could go with her.

Su Bai thought that since the national government was providing funds and manpower to build the pharmaceutical factory, there would be no safety concerns, so he took Han Xiaoxiao with him so that he would have one more person of his own.

In addition, he had to take the more than 20 people from Longxing to the pharmaceutical factory, which required Xu Tianyi or Chang Shunbao to go back to Longxing.

……

Early in the morning, someone knocked loudly on the gate, shouting, "Extra, Extra!"

Even the newsboy knew that this family had a special edition and would not leave until he sold one to them when he passed by.

Su Bai opened the window on the second floor and saw that Xu Tianyi had already opened the gate. The newsboy handed the newspaper to Xu Tianyi and started telling him something.

When the shooting occurred at the Baili Company yesterday, the owner of a photo studio across the street happened to take several photos with his camera. The clearest one was the photo of the female assassin captured by the police after they arrived.

The boss developed the photos and sent them to the newspaper last night. Therefore, the photos were not published in yesterday's newspaper, but were published in the first special edition this morning.

Xu Tianyi took the newspaper back to the house and hurried up to the second floor. He held the newspaper in front of Su Bai and asked, "Who is this?"

Su Bai took a look: Wan Qili!
