Chapter 6 Unpredictable
After hearing this, Cheng Shi did not answer Cheng Guang's question, but spoke.
"It's okay here for now. I'll go out for a walk first, and then go back to the patrol room!"
Cheng Guang looked at his son who was a little different from before. He didn't say any words of instruction, but nodded in agreement with what he said.
Cheng Shi turned around and left the theater, came outside the gate of the big world, and looked at the overly beautiful sky!
There were white clouds of different shapes floating in the sky, and the noisy sounds of people coming and going around.
Cheng Shi also finally confirmed that what just happened was not that he was dreaming, but a real change in time and space!
It took him back to the Shanghai Bund French Concession in the 1920s!
Coming to this era, which he could only see on TV and in books, was an era of great changes!
However, he doesn't want to worry too much about the events of this era, nor does he want to change history. It's not that he doesn't have that idea!
But he thinks that he has no ability, and he has some thoughts of escaping in his heart!
He is afraid, afraid that he will see the humiliation and helplessness of China in this era, and he is also afraid of death, especially a person like him who has died once!
As a former modern person, it is natural for Cheng Shi to use the word selfish!
Yes, he is very selfish. This is not just him, but a common problem among modern people, and no one has ever denied this!
Many modern people now think that as long as their loved ones live without worries, what does the life and death of other people have to do with me?!
Therefore, Cheng Shi had no idea that I would work hard to liberate New China!
Moreover, he knew that a new China would emerge, and he had no desire to fight to the death!
However, this does not mean that he has to wait for death here. Now that he has come here, he has become a patrolman and a detective.
Given the changing situation in Shanghai in this era, if he can make good use of this status, he will surely be able to become famous.
And he has always liked watching mystery novels and crime-solving TV series, and his dream is to be able to actually investigate cases.
He can't do it in modern society, but when he comes to this world, he has the possibility to do it. How could he not fulfill his dream!
He immediately started to inquire about the news on the street, and he soon found out that it was January 13, the ninth year of the Republic of China, that is, 1920.
His father's name is Cheng Guang. He already knows about it, but he hasn't learned about the others yet. In order to have a stable life in the future, he naturally has to learn more about it!
His name was the same as in his previous life, Cheng Shi. Perhaps it was God's will that he was still called by the name in his previous life.
He also learned that his father's name was Cheng Guang. The 45-year-old man learned from a friend and became a second-level detective in the French Concession in 15 years.
At least in this life, Cheng Shi could have no worries about food and clothing due to his status as Inspector Cheng Guang. Moreover, he was an only son, so he did not have to worry about family property competition among brothers.
Cheng Shi naturally didn't know Cheng Guang in his previous life, although he had some knowledge about the Republic of China period.
However, that is only limited to some famous people in history, such as Shanghai gangsters Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin.
Although he knew the names of these three people, he only knew a few of them because of his identity as Detective Huang Huangrong.
Cheng Shi knew Huang Huangrong best. After all, Huang Huangrong had solved several major cases. Cheng Shi probably knew his life.
After the modernization of China, the Internet has become very convenient. However, except for college students in the history department and people or things that they are interested in, who will seriously read the modern history of China?!
Who still seriously remembers famous events in history?! Nowadays, with the Internet, you can directly search for anything on the Internet, but how many people seriously remember it?!
During the Republic of China, Shanghai was a beautiful and money-worshiping world. It was too difficult to get ahead in the dark old society and the ever-changing Shanghai!
Fortunately, when Cheng Shi came here, he didn't have everything. With the detective father and the modern knowledge in his mind, it wasn't impossible for him to get ahead!
Cheng Shi learned some things outside, and then returned to the patrol room. As soon as he reached the door, a patrol officer ran over.
He said a little anxiously: "You are back, Inspector Cheng asked you to see him immediately when you come back!"
Cheng Shi was a little confused, but he still followed Cheng Guang. When Cheng Guang saw Cheng, he immediately spoke.
"Oh, I shouldn't have let you leave just now. Our time is too precious. I didn't expect that guy from Hongzhou to not explain to us. He only wants to explain to you!"
After Cheng Shi heard this, he was not surprised, but smiled and said: "I knew he would be like this, let me talk to him alone!"
Cheng Guang said in surprise: "You already knew this, what's going on?!"
Cheng Shi replied directly: "It's nothing. It's not the time to talk about it now. I'll explain it to you when the murderer is found!"
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news and give them a separate room!" Cheng Guang did not continue to ask, but directed his men to give Cheng Shi a safe room!
As soon as Cheng Shi entered the arranged room, Hongzhou's eyes lit up and he said, "You are finally here!"
Cheng Shi reached back and locked the door, slowly sat on the chair opposite Hongzhou, and then threw the other person a cigarette he had just bought.
After Cheng Shi lit it for him, he said, "Okay, it's just the two of us here. Tell me everything you know!"
After Hongzhou took a deep breath from the cigarette, he slowly exhaled the smoke, and then said: "Okay, I will describe the appearance of the killer to you, and I will give you the credit for this!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said: "It's not you who gave me the credit, and you want to save your own life now!
Why do you think I didn’t tell the truth to Boss Huang? It’s naturally because you are also a victim.”
When Hongzhou heard this, his voice became hoarse and he said: "Anyway, I didn't kill anyone!"
Cheng Shi took a puff of cigarette and said mockingly: "Indeed, you just helped hold down Miss Huang's erratic legs!"
When Hongzhou heard this, he said anxiously: "I don't...I..."
Cheng Shi directly interrupted the other party's sophistry and said: "If you hadn't, after you lured Miss Huang into the compartment, you should have left quickly instead of continuing to stay in the compartment!
Originally, Miss Huang should not have discovered that Mr. Leon had been killed, because the other party recognized you!
Therefore, you may be exposed afterwards and become murderous, even though you did not directly strangle Ms. Huang to death!
However, because of this mistake of yours, Miss Huang was finally killed. Think about it, even though you did not take action!
But it was your thoughts that led to her death. If Huang Chujiu knew about this, would you still be alive?"
After hearing this, Hongzhou lost his last bit of luck and slumped down on his chair. It took him a long time to speak.
"What do you want from me? Do you want money?!"
Cheng Shi shook his head and said, "I want to know everything about this matter. I don't believe it. You didn't investigate at all after you were blackmailed by the other party!"
