Chapter 172.
It was nearly eight thirty in the evening when he arrived at the Central Hotel.
Cheng Mo originally planned to open a normal room, but Lu Jiajun arranged a suite, the facilities of the suite are naturally much better, of course, the price is not cheap.
Cheng Mo didn’t say anything, it’s not like he couldn’t afford it.
“Ah Mo, why are you living in a hotel for a good reason?” Su Mo’er greeted him and asked with some lack of understanding.
“I just took over a case, it’s a bit tricky, I’m afraid I can’t get to and from work on time, and I don’t trust you to go home alone at night, living in a hotel, it’s also close to me, I’m relieved.” Cheng Mo sat down and prepared to eat.
“What case?”
“A Japanese expatriate was killed.”
“It’s ……”
Cheng Mo hurriedly shook his head at Su Moer, there are times when one needs to be cautious, a lot of it is the trouble one incurs by not being cautious.
“I think we need to find a house in the East District, Seymour Road is too far, it’s not convenient for both of us to go to work.” Cheng Mo said.
“All the good houses in the East District are very expensive, our burden is not small, although Seymour Road is a bit far, but we have a car, it’s not a big problem.” Su Moer said.
“Well, I don’t have a case every day, there’s no need to do that, if I really have a case, just like now, it’s not a big deal to get a room and stay in a hotel.” Cheng Mo nodded, “Right, have you eaten?”
“You didn’t come back, I can’t eat ……”
“Don’t wait for me next time, come on, sit down and hurry to eat.” Cheng Mo hurriedly pressed Su Moer onto the stool, “Eat at the right time in the future, if you are starving, I am heartbroken.”
After eating, Cheng Mo carefully checked to make sure that there was no eavesdropping equipment installed in the suite, nevertheless, in other people’s place, he still maintained the usual caution, and would not chat about any work matters.
Just chatting with Su Moer about some emotional topics, either directly to do things, young people, the fire is strong.
“Uncle Cheng, are you still staying tonight?” Early the next morning, Lu Jiajun personally pushed a small food cart in to send breakfast to Cheng Mo and Su Moer.
“Jiajun, you still need to come here personally for something like delivering food!” Cheng Mo inserted his gun into his holster and walked out from the bathroom, greeting him.
“I had to personally come over to greet you when you came, but of course, I also came over to deliver the food on purpose.” Lu Jiajun smiled faintly.
As Su Mo’er came out from within the room, Lu Jiajun hurriedly lowered his head and called out, “Auntie.”
Being called “Auntie” by Lu Jiajun, who was almost the same age as herself, Su Mo’er was still a little unnatural, and vaguely agreed.
“I don’t know what Uncle and Auntie Ta love, so I took the liberty of matching you with some.” Lu Jiajun said, “If you two don’t like it, I’ll change it again.”
Cheng Mo took a look at the style of breakfast, milk, bacon and fried eggs, sandwiches, all western style, he laughed and said, “Although your aunt and I have studied in foreign countries, but these foreign things are eaten fast vomit, in the future, breakfast, Chinese will be fine, the list will be fine, I do not have so much preoccupation.”
“Yes, Manager Lu, I usually don’t eat these at home, the most I eat in the morning is still thin rice and steamed bread.” Su Moer said, “One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, our intestines are really not accustomed to western food, occasionally eat okay, eat more regurgitation.”
“Then I will immediately change it for you and auntie?”
“No need, it’s not bad to change your tastes once in a while, it’s a waste to change it around.”
“Yes, I remember, Auntie will call me Jiajun directly from now on, calling Manager Lu is too familiar.” Lu Jiajun busily said, “I won’t bother Uncle Cheng and Auntie to dine, call me anytime if there’s anything.”
“Ah Mo, this Lu manager ……” Lu Jiajun closed the door and left, Su Moer sent out a question.
“Lu Liankui’s son, he came to our wedding, you should have seen it.” Cheng Mo explained.
“I saw so many people that day, which I remember.” Su Moer snapped.
Cheng Mo didn’t say anything, is it too much to make such a harsh request on an occasion like a wedding.
But as a good intelligence agent, one should always remember the people they have met, even if they have only met once, they can recognize them when they meet again in the future.
Of course, most people can’t do that, and many of those in intelligence work are normal people, so it’s inevitable that they will make mistakes.
If agents do not make mistakes, then the world would not have so many thrilling stories, because no one makes mistakes, then these things will not be known.
Not to mention Su Mo’er, it was him, the guests on the wedding day, he didn’t remember all of them, after all, he was in a hurry, he wasn’t a god.
“After breakfast, I’ll send you to work.”
“No need, this place is very close to the hospital, I’ll just call a yellow cab.” Su Moer said as she took a sip of milk.
“That’s fine.” Cheng Mo nodded, “Wait for my call.”
As soon as Cheng Mo arrived at the capture room, Lu Le came in holding a bunch of newspapers.
“Chief, take a look, today’s newspaper, it’s all about the case of Nojiri’s murder, a lot of it is even on the front page, it seems like you’re really letting you hit the nail on the head, some people are trying to make things happen by using this case!” Lu Le said.
“What are they saying?” Cheng Mo made himself a cup of tea and asked.
“It’s nothing more than criticism of the law and order issues within the Concession, as well as the corruption and inaction within the Patrol Office and so on.” “What’s the reaction of the securities and stock market?”
“The market hasn’t opened yet, so I guess it will have an impact, but with people dying every day in the Concession, there shouldn’t be much fluctuation.”
“What if someone is secretly messing things up?”
“The stock market is red hot right now, as long as there’s a new stock issue, it’s a head rush.” Lu Le said.
Although Cheng Mo didn’t know much about finance, the securities and stock market in the Concession Orphanage had always been bullish before the Concession was forcibly taken over by the Japanese, because, the Concession attracted a lot of tourist capitals to escape the risk of being raided by the Japanese invaders, so the stock market had a monstrous boom for two or three years.
Basically, as long as you can pull out before the outbreak of Pearl Harbor, even if you can’t make money, you can’t lose much.
But speculation in the stock market is very risky, the water is also deep, and the stock market of the isolated island of the system is not sound, so Cheng Mo has not considered from the stock market to earn money.
On the contrary, his sister Cheng Hua has several stocks in the stock market, should have earned a lot.
But the stock market is a game of drums and flowers, with the confidence of investors, see the trend of the long-term bull market should not be a problem, but if it is focused on which a stock, it is not good to say.
For example, “Su Moer” kidnapping case, Yongan Department Store’s stock fell for three consecutive days, some people took the opportunity to short, and lost a lot of money.
Nojiri this case involves the Tong Yuan foreign trade company, he is a foreign trade company, no physical factories, not listed on the stock market, should not have much impact on the stock market and the securities market.
Public opinion, Cheng Mo can see that the Japanese, if not slow to react, will certainly be in Nojiri’s death.
Judging from the overwhelming reports, they were already doing it.
And what was left for them to be able to do something about was, the securities and stock market, the business environment was able to affect stock market trading.
If they came prepared, it would be troublesome, if the stock market didn’t move much, it would still be a good thing.
“Old Xu is here, come with me to the funeral parlor.”
“Isn’t the coroner’s autopsy report out, is there still a need to go see it in person?”
“Of course I have to go, I’m the person in charge of this case, I haven’t even seen the dead body, how can I do the case?” Cheng Mo said, “In addition, notify everyone that at three o’clock in the afternoon, summarize the news and analysis of the case.”
“Yes.”
The inspector’s office were all renting the cold storage of the funeral parlor for storing the bodies that needed autopsies, while the forensic team was also working at the funeral parlor.
In fact, the work of the forensic pathologist is quite busy, not only some homicide cases need autopsy, but also accept the society’s autopsy commission, the population of the Concession Area by the impact of the war, the rapid increase in the number of deaths has also increased geometrically, the forensic pathologist of the arresting officer’s office in addition to the work of a little more tiring, need to work with the corpse all day long, in fact, the income is very high.
Funeral parlor cold storage.
Led by Dr. He, Cheng Mo entered with Xu Qinghe and pulled out Nojiri’s body from the freezer.
After the autopsy, the body is stitched and then cleaned and stored, according to the regulations, if the autopsy does not have any different questions, it will be sent back to the family to be claimed, whether it is cremated or buried, it is all at the family’s discretion.
But if the case can not end within a short period of time, or the case is complex, the body can only be temporarily stored in the funeral home cold storage, the longest can not be more than three months, after all, the inspector’s office is to give money.
Cheng Mo has seen a lot of corpses, people who have gone to war, the dead body is too common, broken head, broken feet, intestines are out, half of the body is gone, he has seen, now, let him go to be a forensic pathologist, that is really without blinking an eye.
If he hadn’t come to this era before, he wouldn’t have dared.
“Cheng Tan, you see, the deceased fatal injury is this neck knife, fast and accurate, look at this wound, directly separated the neck artery, until the trachea, the deceased even the opportunity to send out a cry are not.” Medical examiner He pointed to the wound on Nojiri’s neck and said.
Cheng Mo carefully observed it, it was indeed true, one could see the soft tissue where the trachea was cut open, this cut was really fast and vicious.
“Forensic doctor He, what kind of knife could have formed such a wound?” Cheng Mo asked.
“I don’t know, but it’s certain that the knife wouldn’t be too long, it’s very sharp, and judging from the depth of the wound cut, it should be from the top to the bottom of a knife like this.” He forensic doctor compared to the wound to Cheng Mo came a movement demonstration.
“Than a dagger type?”
“Possibly, but daggers are generally used to stab, if it is cut, it seems not too smooth ……” said medical examiner He.
“Do you have a dagger on your side, Medical Examiner He?”
“No, how can I have this thing here?”
“Scalpel, do you have a scalpel?”
“This I have.” Forensic doctor He took a scalpel and handed it to Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo made a gesture of holding the knife in his backhand and then made a stroke in front of Forensic Doctor He, scaring him into shivering.
“Medical Examiner He, just now if I was holding a dagger in my hand, do you think, could I form such a wound?”
“I don’t know, I’ll have to do an experiment.”
“Okay, then let’s do the experiment.” Cheng Mo nodded, there was no murder weapon left at the scene, if it wasn’t the first crime scene, then where was the first crime scene?
