Crow of the Pretender
Chapter 20
In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of December, and the aftermath of the bombing of the "Sakura" was still lingering, and all parties in Shanghai gradually calmed down in the past half month.But everyone knows that this is just a short truce.
"Extra! Extra!" The crisp voice of the boy selling newspapers walked through the streets, "Kids! Get a copy!" Pedestrians walking on the road stopped the newsboy and bought a newspaper.
Xiaotong took the money and jumped away happily for the first money he earned today, while passers-by opened the newspaper to see what's new today.
"There was a car accident between a couple that caused gasoline to leak, but there was no explosion at all... Citizens should drive carefully..."
Passers-by looked at a piece of news that took up a lot of space in the newspaper, "It's really unfortunate, let's read other things."
At noon, Wang Manchun was invited by Minglou to have lunch at a western restaurant. With some time left after the meal, the two took a leisurely walk on the street arm in arm which was rare.
The streets are bustling with pedestrians. In addition to shops, there are also tea stalls, coffee shops, tailor shops, and dress shops. The business style combining Chinese and Western is the most unique product of this era in Shanghai, the magic capital.
Walking on the street, Wang Manchun suddenly remembered that when she was a teenager, she also held hands with Minglou, ate snacks, and looked at the dazzling array of novelties at the stalls.
"Brother, there is a wonton stall in front of us, let's go there!" Wang Manchun said coquettishly, holding Minglou's arm.
"Didn't you just eat? Are you not full?" Minglou laughed.
Wang Manchun said: "Oh, I'm not very interested in those western restaurants. I still like to eat a bowl of hot food at those small wonton and Yangchun noodle stalls on the street like the two of us before!"
"It's the same as before!" Ming Lou sighed softly, but it's a pity that they can't go back to the past, "Okay, listen to you."
The owner of the wonton stall saw Minglou and Wang Manchun sitting down, and greeted them with a smile.Seeing that Minglou was wearing a suit, the boss took another look at Wang Manchun, and only came over to eat wontons as if it was a young man from some family who wanted to please a girl.
Fortunately, Wang Manchun didn't wear the No. 76 navy uniform today.Otherwise, the owner of the wonton stall would be too frightened to continue doing business.
"Boss, have a bowl of wontons!" Wang Manchun said, then turned to ask Minglou, "Brother, would you like a bowl?"
Minglou hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Then I'll have a bowl too, and accompany you."
"Okay, the boss has two bowls! One bowl doesn't need coriander!" Wang Manchun was naturally happy, and turned to shout to the boss again.
"okay!"
Wang Manchun turned her head with a smile on her lips, and saw Minglou looking at her gently: "You... still remember that I don't like coriander."
"Of course, I remember everything about Senior Brother."
Minglou's heart froze suddenly, but it was only for a moment, and soon he regained his calmness and couldn't be more calm.
They are already running in opposite directions, there is no possibility, and it is absolutely impossible...
The wontons were quickly served on the table, and Minglou ate the chaos silently. While eating, Wang Manchun glanced at Minglou from time to time, full of sweetness as if he had returned to the past.
"Hey, have you read today's newspaper? Yesterday, a couple were hit by a car. The car was damaged and the oil leaked. It turned out that both of them were fine. It was quite dangerous."
The voice of a man chatting with his companions on the next table came, "Didn't you say that the car will explode if it leaks oil?"
Wang Manchun ate wontons and didn't pay much attention to these small market news.
"Didn't you read the newspaper saying that the car wouldn't explode if it leaked oil! Unless someone took something with fire and lit it."
"Eh? Let's put it this way, what happened to the car explosion that I read in the newspapers before? Could it be all fake?"
"You can't say that...the newspaper said, what are the conditions for this, alas, I can't explain it to you, anyway, it's fun to listen to it."
The guests at the next table chatted a few more words, but Wang Manchun didn't listen.
"Manchun? Manchun?"
As soon as Wang Manchun raised his head, he looked at Shangminglou with worried eyes: "Why, what's wrong, Senior Brother?"
"I should be asking you what's the matter? Why are you still in a daze? Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while. It's almost time, and we should go back." Minglou said.
Wang Manchun nodded absently, wiped his mouth and stood up: "I'm fine, let's go, senior brother."
Minglou didn't say anything, but looked suspiciously at the guests at the next table before leaving.
After Wang Manchun and Minglou left, the two guests looked at each other, ate a few mouthfuls of chaos in the bowl, left the money and left in a hurry.
Wang Manchun returned to the office at No. 76. The words of the two people at the wonton stand just now reminded Wang Manchun of the car accident that killed both her parents and the explosion caused by the car crash.
She seemed to think of something suddenly, and strode out of the office. After seeing Wang Manchun, one of her subordinates greeted him flatteringly: "Oh, Director Wang, you..."
"Is there today's newspaper?"
"what?"
"I said, is there today's newspaper!" Wang Manchun asked impatiently.
"Yes! Yes!" The subordinate hurriedly took out today's newspaper from the messy table, "Director Wang, here you are."
Wang Manchun grabbed the newspaper, turned around and went back to the office.The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: What a woman's heart, a sea needle!
In the office, Wang Manchun found the news about the car accident mentioned by the two guests from the newspaper, with a photo attached to it.
"A car's oil spill will not directly cause an explosion, unless it encounters an open flame or other igniters." Wang Manchun felt chills when he saw the end.
In the parent's car accident back then, the reason why the car exploded was the reason given by the police at that time because of the oil leak.
But Wang Manchun was only seven or eight years old at the time, and he only knew that something happened to his parents and they would never come back.The cause of the accident was later known to her from her uncle.
But if according to what the newspaper said, the car would not explode just because of an oil leak, then... the car accident back then was probably planned by someone who wanted to harm their family!
The corners of Wang Manchun's eyes were red, and the newspaper in her hand was tightly held in her hands. The death of her parents was a pain in Wang Manchun's heart. She always thought that if her parents hadn't died young, she would not have been as humiliated by Der Spiegel back then!
No matter how good her uncle treats her, they are not her biological parents after all.Moreover, that incident made Wang Fuqu know that he was wrong, and until now he has shunned Ding Jing himself.
So back then, Wang Manchun knelt in the rain and cried for a whole day, and Wang Fuqu only brought Wang Manchun back to Wang's house after she passed out.
However, nearly 20 years have passed since this incident, and Wang Manchun felt very at a loss, not knowing where to start the investigation.
In fact, Wang Manchun is not a person who is good at using his brain.So most of the time she treated prisoners by torture to extract confessions.
Wang Manchun thought about it, and she felt that she needed someone to help her sort out this matter, and this person was none other than Minglou.
After dinner, Minglou and Mingcheng went to the study.
"Wang Manchun came to me today and talked about her parents' car accident," Minglou said.
Mingcheng poured two glasses of red wine: "Is she suspicious of the car accident?"
"Yes..." Minglou took the wine Mingcheng handed over, "It should be because of the two customers at the wonton stall today."
"Wonton stand?"
Minglou and Mingcheng talked about what happened at noon today.
"Those two guests..."
"It should be the person arranged by Black Crow."
Mingcheng frowned: "Brother, I always feel that this black crow intends to test your identity."
"He's just testing me." Minglou narrowed his eyes, "He's playing chess with Wang Manchun, but he also has the intention of testing me. He must know the relationship between me and Wang Manchun. I want to borrow Wang Manchun's hand to see What was my reaction.
But if I can't bear to miss my old feelings, maybe I will show my feet.Even if I ignore it, as long as Wang Manchun finds me, the black crow will be able to connect up and down through the clues they deliberately sent, and it is not impossible to analyze our actions in it with the ability of the black crow. "
"Then do you want to investigate for Wang Manchun?" Mingcheng asked.
"Investigate. Of course investigate." Minglou said, "However, she still needs to find out this kind of thing, so she will be more convinced. Presumably there should be clues, Black Crow and the others have already prepared. We just need a little If you cooperate, you won’t show up if you can’t.”
"Understood, brother."

It was still Bo Ning and Ming Tai who met alone.
"At the time, I had almost done the investigation of the car accident of the Wangs. As expected, there was indeed something wrong with their car accident. The car accident happened in Zhabei District at that time. After the investigation was over, a patrolman named Xue Gui in Zhabei District was suddenly promoted and became the inspector of Zhabei District, and he seemed to have made a fortune."
"What about him now?"
Mingtai curled up his mouth and showed a sarcasm smile: "That's where the problem lies. The inspector named Xue Gui died in the line of duty only three months ago."
"Heh, dying in the line of duty, that's a good thing to say!" Bai Ning sneered, "He's also a man who earns money but doesn't spend his life. If this matter really has something to do with him, there's no way Wang Fuqi will let him go. "
Mingtai nodded: "Indeed. On the surface, it was said that Xue Gui was stabbed by the murderer when he was catching the murderer, but... I think it might be Wang Fuqu who killed the murderer. After all, after three months, Wang Fuqu has already mastered the entire Wang's company and connections."
"Did Wang Manchun make any moves?" Bo Ning asked.
"It should be soon. The brothers sent yesterday have already contacted Wang Manchun. With her personality, she may go back to discuss with my elder brother. It will be up to them to check what they will do."
Mingtai replied, "But no matter what it is, I've already prepared the evidence and clues, just waiting for them to take the bait."
"Good job." Bo Ning praised Mingtai appreciatively.
"but……"
"What? What's the problem?" Bo Ning raised his eyebrows.
Mingtai scratched his head and asked: "Brother, what if the result of their arrival is really different from our speculation?"
"We are the ones who fish, so we have the final say on what kind of bait to cast." Bai Ning smiled half-smile, "If there is such an event, even if Wang Fuqu did not do it, when he dies and cannot open his mouth, then naturally It's what we say."
The author has something to say:
I don't know if elder brother likes coriander, anyway, Mr. Qi doesn't like it.
Qi Jun is a little stuck, and I've been a little busy recently, so there will be fewer updates, sorry everyone!
