The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 104 The Hong Shun Tang case happened

Hearing that it was not related to Chen Zhengwei, Michael finally felt relieved.

"Hong Shun Tang, the biggest gang in Chinatown! The congressman's disappearance case is related to them? They don't have the guts to do that, do they?"

"The biggest gang? How many people are there?"

"I don't know, no less than a few hundred, maybe more. You know, they all look the same." Michael shrugged. Since he couldn't speak the language, his understanding of the situation in Chinatown was very limited.

As for those Chinese people, he could only recognize Chen Zhengwei and a few important figures under him.

"Hundreds? We can only know if they did it after checking. Ask someone to go to Chinatown!" Sheriff Evans directly called a dozen detectives and members of Michael's team to go straight to Chinatown.

When passing by the square, I randomly grabbed two brokers and asked, "Do you understand English?"

"You've been conscripted!"

……

"This is where the Chinese workers find jobs! It's the busiest here during the day!" Chen Zhengwei raised his chin towards the front.

Next to him was Lin Changning, who was wearing a moon-white jacket that only reached his elbows and long trousers underneath.

Lin Changning's appearance here attracted a lot of people's attention.

Just seeing Chen Zhengwei and the people behind him, no one dared to approach.

"Recruiting people to build roads! Build the road in Chinatown, 12 hours, 55 minutes a day, two meals provided!" A voice sounded in the distance.

“Building a road in Chinatown?”

"What's there to build in Chinatown? If some wealthy person gets rich, he might as well go back and buy some land with the money."

Some young men in coarse clothes started to whisper to each other and then surrounded them.

Although it feels strange and the pay is not much, working in Chinatown is much better than going outside and being looked down upon by foreigners.

"There are still people repairing roads in Chinatown?" Lin Changning was a little surprised when he heard it from a distance.

Although she seldom went out these days, she had some idea of what Chinatown was.

"Who else could it be except me, a great philanthropist?" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"You?" Lin Changning turned his head and asked in surprise.

She really couldn't figure out what the relationship was between Chen Zhengwei and road construction.

Although she had never asked, she knew what Chen Zhengwei did. This kind of person builds roads?

"Why, not alike?" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

"Not like it!" Lin Changning said bluntly.

"There are many differences. Do you think I fight and kill people every day? Opium dens harm people, so I closed them all. Those kidnapped prostitutes are living a life worse than death here, so I give them freedom, allowing them to come and go as they please!"

"I am simply the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva! If you don't believe me, just ask anyone in Chinatown!" Chen Zhengwei was quite proud of what he had done.

Who dares to say that he is not a good person?

Lin Changning stared at Chen Zhengwei for a long time before turning his head away.

She suddenly understood why Lin Mingsheng accepted Chen Zhengwei.

"Hey, is that Michael?" Chen Zhengwei suddenly stopped and looked into the distance, only to see a group of people crossing the square and heading straight for Hong Shun Tang's territory.

Chen Zhengwei's eyes turned and he knew that Hong Shuntang's murder of the legislator had been exposed.

He waved behind him and called his men, gloating, "It looks like Hong Shun Tang is going to be in trouble. Go and see what's going on!"

"Maybe I'll buy two strings of firecrackers to celebrate!"

I thought it would be best if the Investigation Bureau and Hong Shun Tang could come into direct conflict, although the possibility is unlikely.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s not easy for Hong Shuntang to wash off the shit on himself.

……

"Master Quan, why haven't those foreigners made any move yet? There has been no movement for several days!" Master Quan was having breakfast tea when Abao complained not far away.

That day, Lord Quan said that Xin Ningzi was about to be in trouble, but for several days, there was no news at all.

"That day, Xin Ningzi tore off our faces and stepped on them twice. The other gangs were watching. We didn't make any moves, and the other gangs started to spread rumors! They said... we were afraid of Xin Ningzi."

"Why are you in such a hurry? He is barefoot and can do whatever he wants. We are wearing shoes and have long been used to that! Wait a minute!" Lord Quan said slowly.

There are foreigners who try to suppress them, and I will take action myself when the situation is almost the same.

Why bother rushing over and fighting Xin Ningzi to the death now?

As for those rumors, they will naturally disappear in time.

He has been standing firm in Chinatown for so many years, seeing all kinds of people coming and going, but in the end, isn't he still the one sitting here?
Even so, he was somewhat surprised that Davis hadn't made a move yet. What was he waiting for?
With the sound of hurried footsteps, the wooden stairs creaked, and a thug ran up quickly:

"Master Quan, someone from the Investigation Bureau is here and wants to see you!"

"See me?" Mr. Quan looked surprised. What did the people from the Investigation Bureau want to see him for?
"How many people? Where are they?" asked Mr. Quan.

"There are more than 20 people. Except for the Copper Button who is usually in charge of Chinatown, the others are all agents! They are now asking for news about Lord Quan on the street!" The henchman said quickly.

"Let's go and meet him!" Mr. Quan said with a frown.

He felt like something was wrong.

Lord Quan brought his men to the street, only to see a row of Hong Shun Tang henchmen squatting on the roadside, with many copper buttons and agents guarding them.

"Officer, what are you doing here?" Mr. Quan stepped forward and asked, while looking at Michael deeply. He knew that Michael and Chen Zhengwei were in the same group.

"Did you meet Congressman Davis four days ago?" Evans directly took out the portrait of Congressman Davis.

Lord Quan's heart was pounding, and it was as if a thunderbolt had passed through his mind. He roughly guessed what had happened.

"Four days ago, Mr. Davis attended a ceremony held by our Chinese people as a guest. Then he left! What happened?"

"I'm asking you, not you! Chinaman! According to the evidence we have, he has never left Chinatown! Someone saw his carriage enter Chinatown, but no one saw his carriage leave!" Evans looked at Lord Quan coldly.

"No, he left, but the carriage he was sitting in was not his own!" Lord Quan immediately realized that he was in trouble.

"Why? Why did he come in his own carriage and leave in another carriage?" Evans asked step by step.

"How do you know Congressman Davis? Why was he here that day? Just to be a spectator? Do you have business dealings with Congressman Davis? What business?"

As the questioning continued, more and more about what happened that day were revealed.

Apart from the box of money, Mr. Quan knew that this matter involved other congressmen behind Davis and could not tell anyone.

However, the ambiguity on certain key points made Evans feel that the other party was hiding a lot of things.

Later, the carriage and the coachman's clothes were also found, leaving Davis and the coachman as the only missing persons.

"Take them back!" Evans gave the order bluntly. No matter whether Hong Shuntang did it or not, he had to catch them first. After all, he was the biggest suspect now, and all the evidence pointed to him.

Although Hong Shun Tang had hundreds of members, Evans did not take them seriously at all.

When Mr. Quan heard this, his expression changed slightly.

Seeing those foreigners holding ropes to tie up Lord Quan, the axemen of Hong Shun Tang who were gathering more and more around them changed their expressions and started to make a commotion.

"Are they going to arrest Lord Quan?"

"Why did those ghosts arrest Mr. Quan?"

"I don't think they want to leave Chinatown!"

"Get your men to be quiet, or I will be rude!" The men led by Evans and Michael pulled out their guns and looked at the Hong Shun Tang thugs around them with vigilance.

"Shut up!" Lord Quan raised his hand to quiet everyone down.

"Master Quan, you can't go with them. What if those ghost guys play tricks on you?"

"Yes, Lord Quan, there are only about twenty of them, let's fight them!"

"I told you to shut up!" Mr. Quan said angrily.

Then Lord Quan walked up to Evans and said, suppressing his anger:

"First, I know who did this. The officer next to you is very familiar with that person."

He still couldn't believe that Chen Zhengwei was so bold, but he was the only one who could do this. But thinking about the manure splashed on the carriage before, it was obviously planned.

"Second, I can go with you, but you have to guarantee my safety!"

When Mr. Quan learned of Davis' death, he realized a very serious problem.

After losing the link with Davis, the connection between himself and the people behind Davis was cut off!
Although I know the names of the two people, it is difficult for me to re-establish contact with them, so the only way is to let them come to find me.

And this opportunity can only be found in the Investigation Bureau.

"Abao, keep an eye on Xin Ningzi! If he makes any move..." Lord Quan turned to Abao with a cold face, his eyes full of murderous intent.

He was really going to be pissed off.

　I took cold medicine in the afternoon and overslept.

　　I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and have to take a few hours’ drive home, so I may not be able to get up until midnight.

　　I'll try my best to update!
