The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 172 Public Opinion

It was already nearly 8:30 in the evening when we arrived at the Central Hotel.

Cheng Mo originally planned to get a regular room, but Lu Jiajun arranged a suite. The facilities in the suite were naturally much better, and of course the price was not cheap.

Cheng Mo didn't say anything. It wasn't like he couldn't afford to live there.

"Ah Mo, why are you staying in a hotel now?" Su Mor'er came up to him and asked, not quite understanding.

"I just took over a case. It's a bit tricky. I'm afraid I won't be able to get to and from get off work on time. I'm not worried about you going home alone at night and staying in a hotel close to me. I don't worry about it." Cheng Mo sat down and prepared to eat.

"What case?"

"A Japanese expatriate was killed."

"Yes……"

Cheng Mo quickly shook his head at Su Mo'er. Sometimes, you need to be more cautious. Many disasters are caused by your own carelessness.

"I think we have to find a house in the East District. Seymour Road is too far and it's inconvenient for both of us to go to work," Cheng Mo said.

"Yes, I remember it. From now on, Auntie can just call me Jiajun. Calling Manager Lu is too offensive." Lu Jiajun said hurriedly, "I won't disturb Uncle Cheng and Auntie's meal. Call me anytime if you need anything. "

"If you didn't come back, I couldn't eat..."

"I met so many people that day, how can I remember them?" Su Morer said sarcastically.

"Uncle Cheng, are you still staying tonight?" Early the next morning, Lu Jiajun personally pushed the small dining cart in to deliver breakfast to Cheng Mo and Su Morer.

"You're here, I'm not allowed to come over in person to greet you. Of course, I'm here to deliver the food." Lu Jiajun smiled slightly.

"Jiajun, you have to come in person to deliver food!" Cheng Mo put his gun into the holster, walked out of the bathroom, and said hello.

Just talk about some emotional topics with Su Moer, or just do things directly. Young people are full of firepower.

After eating, Cheng Mo checked carefully and made sure that there was no eavesdropping equipment installed in the suite. Despite this, he remained cautious as always and would not talk about any work-related matters in other people's places.

"Ah Mo, this manager Lu..." Su Moer asked as Lu Jiajun closed the door and left.

"I don't know what Uncle Da and Auntie like, so I decided on my own and matched some for you." Lu Jiajun said, "If you two don't like it, I will change it."

When Su Mo'er came out of the room, Lu Jiajun quickly lowered his head and called, "Auntie."

When Lu Jiajun, who was about the same age as herself, called her "Aunt," Su Moer felt a little unnatural and agreed vaguely.

"Don't wait for me next time, come on, sit down, and eat quickly." Cheng Mo quickly pushed Su Mo'er onto the stool, "I'll eat when the time comes. I feel bad for being hungry."

"The good houses in the East District are very expensive, and our burden is not small. Although Seymour Road is a little far, we have a car, so it won't be a big problem." Su Morer said.

"Yes, Manager Lu, I usually don't eat these at home. What I eat the most in the morning is porridge and steamed buns." Su Mo'er said, "A person is nourished by the soil and water. Our stomachs are really not used to Western food. We eat it occasionally." It’s okay, but I feel nauseated after eating too much.”

……

"Then I'll change it for you and aunt right away?"

"Lu Liankui's son, he came to our wedding. You should have seen him." Cheng Mo explained.

"Well, I don't have cases every day, and there's no need to do this. If there is a case like this, it's okay to rent a room and stay in a hotel." Cheng Mo nodded, "By the way, have you eaten?"

"No, it's good to change the taste occasionally. It's a waste to change it."

Cheng Mo looked at the breakfast style, including milk, bacon, fried eggs, and sandwiches, all of which were Western-style. He chuckled and said, "Although your aunt and I have both studied abroad, we eat all these foreign things quickly." I'm going to throw up. From now on, for breakfast, just Chinese style or a list will be fine. I'm not that particular."

Cheng Mo didn't say anything. It was too much to make such strict requirements on an occasion like a wedding.

But as an excellent intelligence agent, you should always remember the people you have met. Even if you only meet them once, you will be able to recognize them when you meet again in the future.

Of course, most people are unable to do this, and many people engaged in intelligence work are normal people, so they will inevitably make mistakes.

If agents didn't make mistakes, there wouldn't be so many thrilling stories in the world, because no one would make mistakes, so these things wouldn't be known.

Not to mention Su Mo'er, even he didn't remember all the guests on the wedding day. After all, he was in a hurry and he was not a god.

"After breakfast, I'll take you to work."

"No, it's very close to the hospital. I can just call a rickshaw." Su Mo'er said after taking a sip of milk.

"Okay." Cheng Mo nodded, "Wait for my call."

……

As soon as Cheng Mo arrived at the arresting room, Lu Le came in with a pile of newspapers.

"Boss, look at it. Today's newspapers are all about Nojiri's murder case. Many of them are even on the front page. It seems that you are really right. Someone wants to use this case to cause trouble!" Lu Le said.

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Mo asked, making himself a cup of tea.

"It's nothing more than criticism of the security issues in the concession, as well as corruption and inaction within the patrol house, etc." "How did the securities and stock markets react?"

"The market hasn't opened yet, so it's expected to have some impact, but people are dying in the concession every day, so there shouldn't be much fluctuation."

"What if someone is doing something secretly?"

"The stock market is booming now. As long as there are new shares issued, it will be a rush." ​​Lu Le said.

Although Cheng Mo didn't know much about finance, the securities and stock markets of the concession island had always been a bull market before the concession was forcibly taken over by the Japanese invaders. Because the concession attracted a lot of hot money to avoid the risk of being plundered by the Japanese invaders, there were two or three stocks in the stock market. years of abnormal prosperity.

Basically, as long as you can get out before the Pearl Harbor incident breaks out, you won't lose much even if you don't make any money.

However, stock trading is very risky, the water is deep, and the stock market systems in the isolated island are not perfect, so Cheng Mo has not considered making money from the stock market.

On the other hand, my sister Cheng Hua owns several stocks in the stock market and should have made a lot of money.

But the stock market is a game of beating the drum and spreading flowers, which is related to the confidence of investors. There should be no problem in looking at the trend of a long-term bull market, but if it is concentrated on which stock, it is difficult to say.

For example, in the "Su Mo'er" kidnapping case, Yong'an Department Store's stock price fell for three consecutive days. Some people took the opportunity to short-sell the stock and lost a lot of money.

Nojiri's case involves Tongyuan Yang Co., a company engaged in foreign trade. It does not have a physical factory and has not issued shares on the market. It should not have much impact on the stock market and securities market.

In terms of public opinion, Cheng Mo could see that if the Japanese were not slow to react, they would definitely make a fuss about Nojiri's death.

Judging from the overwhelming reports, they are already doing it.

The only thing they can do trouble with is the securities and stock markets. The business environment can affect stock market transactions.

If they come prepared, it will be very troublesome. If there is not much movement in the stock market, it is still a good thing.

"Lao Xu is here. Come with me to the funeral parlor."

"Hasn't the forensic autopsy report been released? Is it still necessary to see it in person?"

"Of course I have to go. I, the person in charge of the case, have never even seen the body of the deceased. How can I handle the case?" Cheng Mo said, "In addition, inform everyone at three o'clock in the afternoon to summarize the information and case analysis."

"Yes."

The patrol house rents the cold storage of the funeral home to store bodies requiring autopsy, and the forensic team also works in the funeral home.

In fact, the work of forensic doctors is quite busy. Not only do some homicide cases require autopsies, but they also accept autopsy commissions from the society. The population of the concession has increased rapidly due to the war, and the number of deaths has also increased exponentially. In addition to being tired from work, forensic doctors who arrest houses Well, besides having to deal with corpses all day long, the income is actually very high.

Funeral home cold storage.

Under the leadership of forensic doctor He, Cheng Mo and Xu Qinghe entered together and pulled Nojiri's body out of the freezer.

After the autopsy, the sutures are cleaned and stored. According to regulations, if there are no objections from the autopsy, the body must be returned to the family for them to take away. Whether it is cremated or buried is up to the family.

However, if the case cannot be concluded in a short period of time, or the case is complicated, the body can only be temporarily stored in the cold storage of the funeral home, which cannot exceed three months at most. After all, the patrol room has to be paid.

Cheng Mo has seen a lot of corpses. For people who have been on the battlefield, dead corpses are too common. They have severed heads, severed legs, intestines, and half of the body. He has seen them all. Now, let him be the one. Forensic doctor, that is really unblinking.

If it hadn't been before this era, I wouldn't have dared to do it.

"Detective Cheng, look, the fatal wound to the deceased was a stab wound to the neck. Quick and precise. Look at the wound. It directly cut off the arteries in the neck and even the trachea. The deceased didn't even have a chance to cry out." Forensic Doctor He pointed at Nojiri Said the wound on the neck.

Cheng Mo looked carefully and found that it was indeed the case. He could see the soft tissue where the trachea had been cut. The knife was really fast and hard.

"Forensic doctor He, what kind of knife could have caused such a wound?" Cheng Mo asked.

"I don't know, but I'm sure that this knife won't be too long and is very sharp. Judging from the depth of the cut, it should be from top to bottom." Forensic Doctor He made a move to Cheng Mo based on the wound. Demonstrated it.

"Is it something like a dagger?"

"It's possible, but daggers are usually used for stabbing. If they are used for cutting, it seems not very convenient..." Doctor He said.

"Doctor He, do you have a dagger here?"

"No, why do I have this thing here?"

"Scalpel, do you have a scalpel?"

"I have this." Forensic Doctor He took a scalpel and handed it to Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo made a gesture of holding the knife with his backhand, and then swung it in front of Forensic He, which made Dr. He tremble.

"Forensic Doctor He, if I had held a dagger in my hand just now, do you think it could have caused such a wound?"

"I don't know, I have to do an experiment."

"Okay, 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?
