Chapter 540

鈥淚’ll go first. You can have the hotel breakfast by yourself.鈥� Early in the morning, Cheng Mo got dressed in the clothes he had prepared long ago.

The clothes he wore when he killed someone last night would be taken away by Chiyoko to be destroyed.

This was the tacit understanding between the two of them.

鈥淢m,鈥� Chiyoko vaguely responded. After last night, she estimated that there would be no chance for several months.

Once Su Mo’er went into labor and gave birth, there was no way that Cheng Mo would be able to stay with her. Of course, they would meet for sure.

So, she timed it perfectly, hoping that this time, she would be given a chance.

In order to get pregnant, she would not get out of bed, and would not leave until noon.

Back at home, Cheng Mo accompanied Su Mo to eat breakfast.

Su Mo knew what happened last night. She was not a very generous woman, but she also understood that Cheng Mo needed someone who could provide him with an alibi at a critical moment, and this person was still someone that No. 76 could not suspect or shake.

She could do it, but a husband and wife can hide their secrets from each other. If No. 76 suspects anything, she will investigate and will definitely not believe her.

鈥淢o’er, your due date is almost here. Why don’t we just go straight to the hospital?鈥� Cheng Mo said, 鈥淎nyway, with our family’s condition, we can arrange a delivery room directly. Xiaoyu can stay with you there during the day, and I can go over there at night.鈥�

“A single-room delivery room is not cheap. Even if I was a doctor at the hospital, I don’t think it would be much cheaper. Is this really necessary?鈥�

鈥淵es, you’re having your first child, which is the most important thing. Also, this confinement period is very important, and I want to hire a special postpartum care nanny to take care of you.鈥�

鈥漈here’s no need to hire someone special, just let my mom come,鈥� Su Mo said, looking up at Cheng Mo.

Her mother was not old, and she would be just the right age to come and help with the confinement period. After all, the Cheng family only had one sister who had no experience with childbirth.

鈥漁ur house is so small, how would your mom fit in if she came?鈥� Cheng Mo asked, and there was something else he didn’t say, and that was the radio in the bedroom, which needed to be contacted within the specified time.

鈥淲hy don’t I go home and have my confinement there?鈥�

鈥淭here’s no reason to go to your parents’ home for confinement. My sister would scold me to death if she knew about this.鈥� Cheng Mo shook his head and rejected the proposal.

鈥淪o what do we do?鈥�

鈥淲hy don’t we find another place to live?鈥� Cheng Mo had also thought about it for a long time. In fact, they had lived here for a long time and were really used to it, and they didn’t want to move.

Not only is it comfortable, but the neighbors are also very nice. Most importantly, it is close to the Old Zhabei Police Station where he works.

鈥淪o where do you want to move to? Any ideas?鈥�

鈥淭here are quite a few single-family villas on Yuyuan Road. We can afford to buy one now. I’ll ask my sister to help me look for one. Our family will definitely grow in the future, and it’s not realistic to keep renting,鈥� Cheng Mo said.

“Buying a house will cost a lot of money. Can our family afford that kind of capital?鈥� Su Mo asked, knowing that Cheng Mo owned many properties and was very wealthy, but some money could not be spent at will, and a shortage of funds would trigger a chain effect.

鈥淒on’t worry, I’ll ask my sister to withdraw some funds from the stock market. Investing in real estate now is also a sure-fire way to make money,鈥� Cheng Mo said. 鈥淚n fact, I’d rather design it myself and find a company to build it, but the cycle is too long. I don’t have the time or energy for that right now, so I might as well just buy something ready-made.鈥�

鈥淥kay, but if I buy now, won’t it be too late?鈥�

鈥滻t’s not too late. Some houses can be ready for you to move in tomorrow if you buy today. As long as you have the money, everything can be done for you,鈥� Cheng Mo said.

鈥漈hen you decide.鈥� 鈥業 should have thought of this a long time ago, but I got so busy that I forgot about it and kept putting it off,鈥� Cheng Mo said. 鈥滻n the future, when I’m not busy, I must build a house of our own, just the two of us.鈥�

鈥淵ou’re just trying to butter me up.鈥�

鈥滵on’t worry, you’ll definitely get to see this pie.鈥� Cheng Mo stuffed an egg into his mouth and got up, saying, 鈥業’ll go to work first, and I’ll contact the hospital later. In the next couple of days, we’ll be living in the hospital.鈥�

鈥滻 know, you go ahead.鈥�

鈥漌hy are you concerned about missing persons?鈥� Political Affairs Unit Chief Robson was a little surprised when he saw the report Cheng Mo handed him.

鈥淲ith so many people going missing recently, don’t you think there’s something strange about it?鈥� Cheng Mo said, 鈥楬ave you noticed that there are also some Westerners among them, especially Jews and Russians, and the number and proportion of missing people is on the rise.鈥�

鈥滲ut what does that mean?鈥� Roberson said, 鈥漇hanghai is the city of adventure, and they are naturally prepared to take risks when they come here. Maybe they left for some reason, or they don’t want people to know where they went?鈥�

鈥淢r. Robson, actually, I have a guess. These people may have gone to a terrible place. They may be held captive.鈥�

鈥漌hat are you trying to say?鈥�

鈥滻 know the Japanese have stationed a special unit in Jinling. It’s called the ‘Water Supply and Epidemic Prevention’ unit, but in fact, it’s a unit dedicated to researching and manufacturing biochemical weapons. Researching biochemical weapons requires a large number of live subjects for experimentation, and animal experiments cannot fully achieve the desired results. They secretly use live people for experimentation.鈥�

鈥淥h, my God, Cheng, is what you’re saying true?鈥� Robert was shocked to hear this.

鈥滻 don’t have any conclusive evidence, but I’ve learned from relevant sources that all the villagers in some villages near Jinling suddenly disappeared overnight. Some people saw the Japanese secretly transporting bodies at night, digging pits to burn and bury them. These things have been circulating in Jinling for some time. Someone once saw a corpse with a Western face, and the death was extremely cruel.鈥�

鈥淚f someone is really helping the Japanese find people to experiment on, then there’s a lot of water under the bridge. If you investigate, I’m afraid you won’t get anywhere.鈥�

鈥淵es, there are great risks involved, but if we turn a blind eye, how can the people in the concession support our Industrial Department, the police station, and the expatriates living in the concession? Their safety will also not be guaranteed, especially those who have gone through great hardships and crossed the ocean to get a respite.鈥� Cheng Mo said.

鈥漈his is a big deal. You should not start an investigation rashly. I need to discuss it with the higher-ups,鈥� said Robert, after some consideration.

鈥淥kay, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible.鈥�

Back at the Laozha Police Station, he saw Qin Chi pacing back and forth outside his office door. He went up to him and said, 鈥楺in Chi, what’s going on? You’re here and you’re not going in?鈥�

鈥滳hief Cheng, something’s happened, something big!鈥�

鈥滶very time you come to me for a report, you all have the same expression and the same words: either something’s happened or something big has happened.鈥� Cheng Mo said with a smile, 鈥滸o on, what’s the big deal this time?鈥�

鈥淢r. Cheng, Wu Sibao is dead.鈥�

鈥漌ho?鈥� Cheng Mo exclaimed, his face showing the perfect expression of shock and surprise.

His acting was three times better than the actors in his own company.

鈥漌u Sibao, Wu Sibao from No. 76, the devil of Shanghai West, was killed last night!鈥� Qin Chi exclaimed.
