Chapter 149: Dog traitor, I'll kill you sooner or later!

Looking at his own little treasury, Chen Yongren no longer concealed his emotions, his smile extremely bright.

Little money, so much little money.

Roughly speaking, his assets even exceeded those of some tycoons on the Shanghai Bund.

But Chen Yongren was not satisfied with that.

The little devils were preparing to make some kind of deal with those traitors of the Green Gang.

Chen Yongren had looked over the transaction list; it was all sorts of scarce military supplies, even medicine.

Not robbing them would be simply inexcusable.

Life experience told Chen Yongren.

To get rich, one still has to kill and loot.

The next day.

Chen Yongren had just arrived at the police station when he received a call from the Auspicious Prosperity Building reporting a corpse.

"Brothers, let's go, we've got a big case!" Chen Yongren immediately led his men to the Auspicious Prosperity Building.

Seeing Meng Youde's corpse lying on the bed, Zhang Haifeng's eyelids twitched twice, and he quickly concealed his emotions.

Outwardly calm, but inside a storm had erupted.

"Meng Youde is dead?"

"Our people acted pretty quickly."

"Too bad, just strangling his throat made him die too easily."

Zhang Haifeng pretended to examine the scene.

"Secure the scene, no outsiders allowed!" Chen Yongren shouted, put on white gloves, and examined the corpse, saying: "This guy was strangled to death by someone."

"Ren Ge, no cash found inside." Zhang Haifeng stepped forward to report: "Could it be another robbery-murder?"

"First confirm the victim's identity." Chen Yongren pretended to search him, felt around, pulled out a small notebook, and opened it.

Although he already knew the identity, Chen Yongren still put on a look of great surprise.

"Ren Ge, what do you see?" Zhang Haifeng played along, looking at the notebook's contents, his face suddenly changed.

Their acting aroused Huang Qifa's keen interest.

"Ren Ge, Haifeng, what do you see?" Huang Qifa leaned in, looking at the documents in Chen Yongren's hand, and was instantly stunned.

Military Intelligence Bureau?

Captain Meng Youde?

"How could a Military Intelligence Bureau person die here?"

"Could this person be a traitor?"

"Did a Military Intelligence Bureau agent lurking in Songhu come here to eradicate traitors?"

"Or did an insider turn traitor and kill their own?"

Huang Qifa was also a veteran agent; after a little thought, he almost guessed the correct answer.

"We'll have to be even more careful from now on."

"We must never let the Military Intelligence Bureau discover our whereabouts."

No, I've already found out—it's not that I helped you, you'd be dead already. Chen Yongren immediately put away the documents and solemnly said: "Songhu has seen National Government agents; this is no small matter."

"Haifeng, seal the scene immediately—no, seal the Auspicious Prosperity Building immediately, forbid anyone from entering or leaving, and quickly report this to Director Fujihara!"

"Quick!"

"Yes!" Zhang Haifeng stood straight and ran out quickly.

……

Songhu Special Agency.

Fujihara Jinta was in a bad mood; yesterday he received a call that Military Intelligence Bureau personnel would come with secret documents to defect.

But even now, he still couldn't see where the defectors were.

Fujihara Jinta was even preparing to hold a press conference to promote this and boost his reputation.

Take a look.

A National Government agent, or a captain, had come specially to defect to me.

And you.

Yugong He Ren.

What are you, anyway?

Just as Fujihara Jinta was wondering where Meng Youde had run off to, the desk phone suddenly rang.

Fujihara Jinta waved his hand impatiently.

Gaoliu Xiuji stepped forward, picked up the phone, after hearing a few words his expression instantly changed, he covered the mouthpiece and said:

"Director, we've found Meng Youde."

"What?" Fujihara Jinta jumped up excitedly: "Where is he?"

Gaoliu Xiuji's expression was bitter: "He's already dead; Chen Sang is guarding the scene."

"What? He died?" Fujihara Jinta's tone suddenly rose several degrees.

Just yesterday he got the call, and today the person is dead?

Fujihara Jinta and Gaoliu Xiuji hurried to the Auspicious Prosperity Building.

"Major His Excellency, Director Gaoliu!" Seeing the two approach, Chen Yongren stood at attention and bowed.

In a sense, they were also fellow travelers; it's just that he had reached a place they could never attain in their lifetimes.

Occasionally they could also exchange experiences on the path of exploration.

"The corpse is inside; I've already had people seal off the Ruixiang Building." Chen Yongren handed over a document, saying: "This is that guy's ID."

Gao Liu Xiuji took the document, his expression instantly turned grim, and he passed it to Teng Yuan Jintai.

The three quickly walked into the room.

"Still a step too late." Teng Yuan Jintai gritted his teeth.

"If it's late, then it's correct; if it weren't late, the one dying now would be me." Chen Yongren said: "Major His Excellency, I have examined his corpse; his neck was strangled."

Teng Yuan Jintai had a cold expression, just about to continue asking.

Before he could speak, Chen Yongren added: "I've already asked the boss; he came alone, and the register shows only one person."

"After buying two bottles of wine, he returned to his room, without contacting anyone in the meantime."

Saying this, Chen Yongren waved his hand.

Zhang Haifeng immediately stepped forward and handed over a folder.

"Major His Excellency, Director Gao Liu, this is the interrogation record of the guests who stayed and dined here yesterday."

"Oh?" Teng Yuan Jintai's eyes lit up.

Having taken the folder, he examined it carefully.

From the guests' check-in times, to whether they had seen Meng Youde, and the last time anyone saw him, everything was recorded in the register.

Chen Sang's performance is really not bad.

From the moment he entered until now, he has simply given them too many surprises, having considered every detail, saving them considerable time.

This guy.

Indeed, he's a talent!

"Meng Youde has a wound on his shoulder; judging from the blood‑stained cotton on the ground, he bought the wine not to drink but to disinfect the wound." Chen Yongren continued.

"Combined with the smell of alcohol on his shoulder and the sutured wound, this conclusion basically holds."

"Besides that, I also found traces of having been bound on his body."

"His killer likely sneaked into the room secretly, first subdued him, then twisted his neck."

"But I ordered a thorough search of the room, and aside from this document, nothing else was found."

"I have already sent people to investigate nearby shops to see if any suspicious persons have appeared in the vicinity."

Saying this, Chen Yongren slightly bowed his head: "Major His Excellency, please forgive my inadequacy; I failed to obtain any useful results."

"It's fine, Chen Sang, you've worked hard." Teng Yuan Jintai waved his hand.

He didn't even know about this, yet Chen Yongren could consider these matters at once and act on them—that's already quite good.

As for Meng Youde?

Teng Yuan Jintai couldn't be bothered to glance at him again.

He now is just a corpse with no value whatsoever.

Although Chen Yongren had already searched once, for caution's sake Teng Yuan Jintai still sent people to search Meng Youde's lodgings again.

Afterwards, the two old devils left.

Chen Yongren gave them a slight bow.

"Dog traitor, I'll kill you sooner or later."
