Chapter 102 Two died
"We're brothers, your business is my business, no need to be polite. Today I'll have your sister-in-law prepare some good dishes, and we'll head back in a bit."
Lu Mingxuan laughed heartily, then picked up the phone to call home and told his wife to buy some fancy dishes.
This isn't an ordinary family meal; the dishes need to be plentiful. Lu Mingxuan needs to maintain a good relationship with Su Yuncheng.
"Yun Cheng, speak, what is it?"
Not long after, Lu Mingxuan took Su Yuncheng home and asked her directly in the car.
This is the quietest place, and you don't have to worry about being overheard. At least when you get home, you'll have your wife and kids.
"I would like to ask you to arrange for someone to work for the Central Police Station."
Su Yuncheng said directly that there was no need to be so polite with Lu Mingxuan. Apart from his relationship with Dilang, Lu Mingxuan was also his secret subordinate.
Lu Mingxuan was under Shen Mozhou's command, and Shen Mozhou listened to him.
If Lu Mingxuan was a direct subordinate of the Special Service Department, then Su Yuncheng was his superior's superior.
"The Central Police Station?"
Lu Mingxuan was a little surprised and asked in confusion, "How about the Xiafei Road Police Station? It's easier to come here."
Lu Mingxuan is the chief inspector of the Xiafei Road Police Station. Although there are French people supervising him, it is not a big problem to place an ordinary police officer there.
"Let's go to the Central Police Station; it's more convenient there."
Su Yuncheng shook his head slightly, thought for a moment, and then Lu Mingxuan nodded: "Okay, let's go to the Central Police Station then."
Su Yuncheng didn't say anything, so he couldn't ask too many questions. Getting into the Central Police Station wasn't a big problem, it just cost a bit more money.
Normally, to get into the police station, you need at least a hundred dollars, and that's the minimum, and you also need connections.
It doesn't matter, even three hundred dollars is hard to come by.
If it were Xiafei Road, Lu Mingxuan could get the fee halved, and he wouldn't have to pay his share.
"Thank you, Brother Lu. Just tell me how much it costs; I don't need to pay for it."
Su Yuncheng replied, and Lu Mingxuan glanced at him before smiling again: "Okay, I'll tell you later."
Originally, Lu Mingxuan did intend to pay for Su Yuncheng's expenses himself, since it wouldn't be much anyway.
Since Su Yuncheng wasn't paying for it himself, he could save that money.
Su Yuncheng doesn't actually have to pay for it himself; the money will come from the customer's pocket and will be charged to Horiuchi Sousuke.
This kid is absolutely willing; he couldn't be happier if Su Yuncheng could get involved in his business and help him protect it.
The dinner was indeed plentiful, and Lu Mingxuan drank quite a bit.
The next morning, Su Yuncheng arrived at the newspaper office early. He hadn't dreamed about the future lately, wondering if it was because the things he was dealing with recently were so mundane that they couldn't trigger his dreams.
Su Yuncheng still hasn't figured out how such a realistic dream came about.
"Editor-in-chief, our informant called. There's been a robbery on Gongguan Road. We're on our way."
In the morning, Huang Chuanming suddenly came in. His newspaper had received a call that a robbery had occurred in the French Concession.
People care a lot about this kind of news, and writing it well can increase sales.
"I'll go with you."
Su Yuncheng immediately got up. He didn't have much to do at the newspaper office today, so he decided to go and check out the scene.
"it is good."
Huang Chuanming immediately nodded. After the number of staff at the newspaper increased, Su Yuncheng made another phone call, specifically asking someone to provide news leads.
Providing good news leads will be rewarded handsomely.
The newspaper staff went out of their way to recruit a new group of informants, asking them to proactively provide news leads.
Since the informant specifically called, this robbery must be no small matter.
They know what kind of news leads are important and can be rewarded.
"What did the informant say?"
Once in the car, Su Yuncheng asked, "There are four people going this time, and we brought two cameras. One car should be enough."
Shanghai is so big, with so many people, and every day there are all sorts of robberies. However, most of the cases are small, and many of them go unnoticed by others.
For example, being stopped in a remote place and having all the money on you stolen.
Or some students might be charged a few cents.
This isn't news; informants wouldn't waste a few cents calling them about something like this.
Newspapers won't pay them if there's no news of value.
"The informant said there were four or five robbers, carrying knives, and one of them had a gun, but he didn't fire it. They robbed a silk shop."
Four people, and they were armed; this case is indeed significant.
Gongguan Road falls under the jurisdiction of the Old North Gate Police Station, also known as the Mailan Police Station. This police station is equally important, and Su Yuncheng plans to bring Youtiao here.
Although the police are also at the bottom of the hierarchy, they are well-informed and have contact with a lot of people.
Once you get into the police station, you'll be able to help Su Yuncheng more in the future.
As for Noodles, his personality is not suitable for working in the police station, and Su Yuncheng will arrange for him to work elsewhere in the future.
"They must be ruthless bandits from outside; they can't escape."
Su Yuncheng nodded slightly. Shanghai is a complex place with many powerful forces, and the Green Gang has members in all the bustling areas.
Many shops paid them protection money; most people wouldn't dare to do that.
Only newly arrived bandits who think they are capable would dare to commit such atrocities. However, once they do it, the Green Gang will be more eager to find them than the police.
The Green Gang wielded immense power in Shanghai, and no matter how well they hid, they couldn't escape the Green Gang's search.
"It's fortunate they didn't fire; I don't know if anyone was injured."
As Huang Chuanming drove, he said that he was now a very skilled driver, and his skills were much better than before.
You'll find out when you get there.
Su Yuncheng said calmly, "The outside bandits don't have many scruples. Although they didn't fire their guns, they would really dare to kill if someone stopped them."
The newspaper office wasn't far from Gongguan Road, and their car arrived shortly afterward.
Police officers have already dispersed the crowd at the scene.
"Editor-in-chief, I'm going to find out from my informant."
Huang Chuanming took the initiative to meet with the informant, who wanted a higher fee for the leads. They paid more attention to things than ordinary people.
One person went to interview the public, while Su Yuncheng brought another person to the police station.
"Captain Yang, excuse me."
Su Yuncheng knew their police captain; he had met all the police captains in the entire French Concession.
"It's Editor-in-Chief Su, you've arrived so quickly."
Captain Yang, who was in his thirties and not very tall, greeted Su Yuncheng with a smile.
Su Yuncheng extended his hand and shook hands with Captain Yang, and the three silver dollars were handed to Captain Yang.
"They must be from out of town. We don't know exactly who they are. They ran west, and Da Tou has already led his men to chase after them."
"Money makes things easier," Captain Yang said proactively. "Da Tou is the head of the Green Gang in this area. The shop that was robbed is under his protection. He has to step in after something like this happened."
If you collect protection money but don't stand up for others, your prestige will decline, and your subordinates and merchants will no longer obey you.
"Thank you, Captain Yang. Is anyone injured?"
"The injuries were minor; two people died."
Captain Yang lowered his voice and sighed. Su Yuncheng was slightly taken aback. People died without firing a shot. These people killed people directly with knives?
