Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

Why would Wan Qili try to assassinate Wang Deli?

No, her target was not Wang Deli, but Wang Shuan. Su Bai immediately made a judgment that Wang Deli was just a scapegoat.

It is also possible that both of them were her targets, but she did not kill Wang Shuan, or Wang Shuan was not at the scene at the time.

Is she a professional killer?

Someone hired her?

No matter how I listen to it, it doesn't sound like the truth.

At this time, Han Xiaoxiao also came over, took the newspaper and looked at it, and immediately cried out: "Wan Qili!"

"Do you know her?" Su Bai asked.

After Han Xiaoxiao's identification, the identity of Wan Qili, which had always been in Su Bai's mind, was basically clear. She was a member of the Military Control Commission!

She told Su Bai that she learned how to send telegrams by attending a telecommunications training class organized by some business owners in Shanghai and taught by hired teachers. This was a lie.

The reason why Han Xiaoxiao knew her was because she had studied with her in the Military Control Commission’s telecommunications special training class two years ago.

Like Han Xiaoxiao, Wan Qili was one of the best students in the special training class at that time, and most of the students in this special training class eventually successfully entered the Military Control Commission.

In this case, the various events and questions that happened before might have another or several different explanations.

"Will someone like Wan Qili be sentenced? If so, where will she serve her sentence?" Su Bai asked Han Xiaoxiao.

"He will serve his sentence in the Second Special District Prison." Han Xiaoxiao didn't know much. She only knew that this prison in the French Concession was called Jiangsu Shanghai Second Special District Prison. Jiangsu Shanghai was just a name. This prison was in the French Concession.

The famous largest prison in the Far East, the Tilanqiao Prison as people call it, was built by the Municipal Council of the International Settlement. Since the Tilanqiao Prison was jointly built by the United States, Britain and France, although it was not located in the French Concession, some special prisoners would also be imprisoned there.

Han Xiaoxiao got this information from Han Charlie. Han Charlie dealt with cases all day long and would chat about this from time to time after dinner, so Han Xiaoxiao naturally knew about it.

Only then did Han Xiaoxiao realize that Wan Qili had been following Su Bai all along. She immediately thought that as a member of the Military Control Commission, Wan Qili was not free to move around, and that she must have been assigned by her superiors to stay with Su Bai for such a long time.

"Did 100% of the people in your training class eventually join the Military Control Commission?" After getting a negative answer from Han Xiaoxiao, Xu Tianyi thought that Wan Qili was one of the few people that Han Xiaoxiao mentioned who failed to join the Military Control Commission.

"It's possible, but I think..." Han Xiaoxiao believed that Su Bai's medicine was so important that Wan Qili was very likely ordered to lurk beside Su Bai just to get the medicine from Su Bai.

"To get medicine? Then why didn't she take any medicine in Longxing and didn't even mention it?" Xu Tianyi asked Han Xiaoxiao.

"Stop arguing, eat breakfast quickly, and go to the pharmaceutical factory right after breakfast!" Su Bai's first priority in her mind was to go to the pharmaceutical factory and wait for news from Bi Yuming. Today was August 8th, and according to her calculations, it was the day when she was most likely to get news from Bi Yuming.

As for Wan Qili's matter, since she has never told me the truth, why should I worry about it?

Besides, he couldn't help her. The police station where Charlie Han was located was the Pétain Road Police Station, and Wan Qili was arrested by the Central Police Station in the French Concession. It was impossible to transfer her to the Pétain Road Police Station for handling.

When she arrived at the pharmaceutical factory today, Zi Yan simply did not enter the office and stayed directly at the gate of the pharmaceutical factory waiting for Bi Yuming or the person he sent to show up.

Su Bai sat in the factory director's office, appearing calm but anxious inside, reading a newspaper over and over again countless times.

Before Bi Yuming arrived, he received a call from Manager Wan.

Su Bai hadn't seen him for a while, so she didn't expect him to call her. As soon as she answered the phone, he recognized her: "Miss Lan, you're back from Nanjing? Oh, you're finally back!"

Su Bai suspected that he was acting for him. If Wan Qili was a member of the Military Control Commission, even if she didn't know whether his trip to Nanjing was true or not, she should at least know that he had returned to Shanghai, right?

"Oh, I've only been back for two days. There have been so many things going on at the pharmaceutical factory that I haven't had time to visit you yet."

Manager Wan was quite straightforward and directly asked Su Bai to save Wan Qili.

Since he was the one who bribed Mr. Martin the first time, he thought that by asking Mr. Martin for some face, he could spend some money to get Wan Qili out.

I have heard of this kind of thing many times in the concession, and I thought I was very confident, but I didn't expect to be directly rejected by Mr. Martin.

"Ms. Lan, I know your relationship with the Municipal Council. You can't just ignore this matter!" Shopkeeper Wan cried, "Lili was injured when she was captured by them. They didn't even allow her to visit. I'm worried about her..."

"When did Lili return to Shanghai, and why did the police station want to arrest her?" Su Bai asked him in a pretentious manner.

"Didn't you read today's newspaper?"

Su Bai couldn't pretend any longer. After all, Shopkeeper Wan had helped him a lot, and he was still helping Kong Man and Kong Yun purchase goods. So he had to say to him, "Shopkeeper Wan, don't worry. I'll make a phone call to find out the situation."

After hanging up the phone with Manager Wan, Su Bai called Han Charlie and asked about Wan Qili's situation and how to get her out first.

Han Charlie disagreed. Like Manager Wan, this kind of thing happened too often in the concession. There were frequent fights between gangs and deaths were common. In the past few years, things were handled according to the law, but in the past one or two years, everything has become completely about money, as if the world was coming to an end. Everyone from top to bottom was desperately trying to make money, and as long as some money was spent, people could be released.

He promised Su Bai that if he gave a gold bar to the Inspector General of the Central Police Station, he would be able to rescue Wan Qili.

"Well, I have something to do at the pharmaceutical factory and I can't leave. Inspector Han, please take the trouble to come to my place to get the money."

“Okay, okay, I’ll be right there…” Charlie Han said and stopped, as if he was talking to someone next to him.

After dozens of seconds, he told Su Bai that he had to go to the Municipal Council first. Someone from the Municipal Council asked him to go there immediately, and he rushed there without waiting for a moment, as if there was something urgent.

He told Su Bai that after coming out of the Municipal Council, they would go straight to the Central Police Station. He would pay for it first and they would talk about it later.

“Don’t worry, wait for my news!” Han Charlie hung up the phone.

"Do you really want to save Wan Qili?" Xu Tianyi asked Su Bai.

"Of course I have to save her. Shopkeeper Wan has spoken, so how can I not help? Besides, no matter what, Wan Qili and I have been together day and night for so many days, I can't just ignore her out of emotion and reason."

"Then we have to let her explain everything clearly when she comes back!" Xu Tianyi said again.

It doesn't matter to Su Bai whether he can explain it clearly or not. As long as Bi Yuming comes, many of his previous troubles can be put aside.

The only thing is that I feel a little guilty about Zhou Beiwang.

About an hour later, Han Charlie called and told Su Bai that Wan Qili’s matter...might have gotten out of hand.
