Chapter 1062: Arrest
On the morning of Wuhan on July 26, 12th year of the Republic of China, the scorching sunlight poisoned the city on the Yangtze River. Wuhan, as the city that overthrew the Qing Empire, had a very high status in the hearts of the Chinese people. When deciding on the capital, many people even supported Wuhan as the capital of China.
July in Wuhan is uncomfortable, hot and humid, so people in Wuhan love to eat spicy food. Eating spicy food can effectively resist the invasion of dampness and poison. The people in Wuhan are also very popular, just like this city.
Zhou Qi, the Democratic Party official who likes to eat chili peppers, said goodbye to his wife and children after breakfast, slowly opened the door, and saw a row of police officers standing at his door.
"You guys are..."
Before he could speak, several patrolmen rushed up and held him down. His wife screamed, and the neighbors around him looked at him in panic and dared not say a word.
At this time, a young man in a suit shouted to his neighbors: "Please rest assured, we are from the Independent Commission Against Corruption of the Republic of China. We are a department specializing in investigating corrupt officials. It is confirmed that Zhou Qi used inferior cement as a substitute when he was building public facilities in the municipal government. He specially approved arrests. Please don't panic." He said to Zhou Qi's wife, "Please stay at home and don't go out. We want to investigate in detail how much property in your family is inconsistent with his income. You have been banned, but please don't worry, we will not hurt the innocent."
The neighbors around him said in anger: "I didn't expect that the person who lives here was a black-hearted official, and he deserved to be arrested!"
"Yes. How can this kid be the best for inferior products?"
"What did this official do you think of as the inferior one? "
The man in the black suit said with a heartache: "Yangtze River Bed! Everyone, everyone! It is the Yangtze River flood control Bed!"
"Ah? It's so shameless!"
"Shoot! Shoot him!"
"Official, let me beat him first!"
"Not killing is not enough to calm public anger!"
Zhou Qi's wife was scared to death long ago, and several angry old men from Wuhan immediately ran to their homes with vegetable leaves to smash Zhou Qi. The young man in black suit immediately stopped everyone and said, "Everyone, please don't hurt the suspect. We are from the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Please cooperate. If he is injured, there will be an excuse to go to the hospital and not cooperate with our investigation."
"It's cheaper for him! Hum!"
"Official, don't spare him!"
"Official, when will we kill him? Let's go and see the fun!"
"Yes, when did you kill him?"
Guangzhou Democratic Party welcomes a wave of police officers at its headquarters in Guangzhou. These police officers were all transferred from Guangxi. Under the leadership of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Office and the Director of the Guangdong Provincial Police, the Democratic Party headquarters building was surrounded and blocked. A man shouted in Cantonese: "Democratic Party members unpacked the contract. Ai Qingke, Long Yangwei, Guo Yi, are suspected of trafficking women. Now ask the Democratic Party to escort these four people out, don't do unnecessary resistance, ** anti-human! We have reason to believe that in order to raise funds, the Democratic Party headquarters is related to the recent disappearance of a girl in Guangzhou. Please don't do unnecessary resistance!"
"Ah? It turns out that the girl's disappearance was done by people from the Democratic Party!" The aunt and aunt around him immediately said.
"So they actually did that."
"No wonder I've always heard the screams of women in the headquarters building of the Democratic Party recently!"
"Did you hear it too?"
"Yes, I heard it too. I thought it was an hallucination."
"The Democratic Party is really hateful."
"Party is really not a good thing. You can even do the robbery of a girl in the street!"
"Framed!" The Democratic Party member unpacked the bag and said angrily, "The naked frame-up, we have to fight back, we have to fight back!" He shouted loudly, and other Democratic Party members around him also looked indignant, "This is political revenge, political frame-up!"
Ai Qingke immediately shouted: "We are going to call the President of Beijing and send a telegram. The warlords are starting to attack us, and the warlords are starting to persecute us politically. Wang Maoru is a liar. He lied to us three years ago, but now he is finally going to make up his mind to eradicate us!"
"We want to fight with them and launch an armed uprising!" Long Yangwei took out two pistols and said, "Everyone, our Democratic Party is not afraid of the Qing government, the Beiyang government, and even more so, Wang Maoru's national defense military government!"
"Fight!"
"We're going to fight!"
The Guangzhou headquarters of the Democratic Party was excited, but suddenly there was a gunshot outside. Everyone jumped and thought the police were going to attack, but found a group of men in black shooting with the police. Several big cars rushed in, and a bald man in black face shouted: "Brothers of the Democratic Party, we are from the Black Dragon Gang. Thank you for selling it to us girls. We have rescued you now! Don't worry, our children in the world are the most loyal!"
The Democratic Party members in the building looked at each other, "What's the matter? The Black Dragon Gang?"
At this time, another team of people came over and shouted: "The Japanese New Overseas Chinese Association helps the Japanese government's good friend Democratic Party, the Japanese New Overseas Chinese Association do business, get out of the Chinese people!"
"The Zhaoqing Tiger Gang helps the Democratic Party! Who dares to stop it!"
...
More than a dozen people emerged from somewhere, threatening to help the Democratic Party and oppose the police. Bullets and gunfire sounds, scaring the people around them scattered and fled. The agents and police officers of the Independent Commission Against Corruption were "defeated" and were defeated. Some Chinese and foreign journalists took photos as the biggest incident at this time. The Democratic Party members didn't know what was going on, so they were taken away by these "enthusiastic" helpers. They all said that they had to go to the British Concession or French Concession in Guangzhou. At this moment, Guangzhou was unsafe and they had to hide in the British Concession.
However, there are several sober and firm demanding that they cannot leave, and they must be here to prove their innocence. Long Yangwei said laughing and crying: "This matter is a political persecution, and it is not tolerated to you and I. After going to the police department, you and I were also scolded! Don't be stupid, they will not care about the truth of the matter. They only need our Democratic Party to fall!"
Others thought it was true. If they didn't leave, not to mention that their reputation would be gone, even their lives would be gone. When would they not leave?
So after a brief discussion, it was decided to evacuate the headquarters of the Democratic Party with these "helpers". However, shortly after the evacuation, Zhao Zengfu, commander of the Guangdong-Guangzhou Military Region of the National Defense Forces, ordered the army to enter Guangzhou City and implement all martial law in Guangdong-Guangzhou City. It also intercepted most of the Democratic Party members who retreated to the British and French Concessions, while a small number of people fled into the Japanese Concessions. This further aroused the dissatisfaction of the people in Guangzhou City. The Sino-Japanese hatred between China and Japan had long made everyone very sensitive to Japan. These people's escape into the Japanese Concessions made people believe that the Democratic Party must have treason for the country.
In Shanghai, many citizens get up in the morning and receive free newspapers. Shanghai is called New York in the East by foreigners, and its literacy rate is also higher than that of other parts of the country. Especially after the emergence of simplified Chinese characters, the illiteracy rate in Shanghai has greatly decreased. As Shanghai's economy strengthens, more and more people from Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi have flocked to Shanghai, a large county town.
It is precisely because there are many strangers coming in that public security in Shanghai have always been a problem, which is why there are gang-born police officers and detectives from various concessions. However, today the public security in Shanghai is beyond people's imagination, and all the gangs have been hidden. Three thousand police officers transferred from Henan entered Shanghai. Under the leadership of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the cooperation of the Qing Gang spies, one by one, the Democratic Party officials were caught.
When people saw the newspaper, they suddenly discovered that the Ministry of Justice had decided to carry out a major purge of corrupt officials across the country within the ten days from July 25 to August 5, so that the Republic of China would be rejuvenated and keep the corruption away from China. The subsequent arrest in Shanghai also confirmed the news in the newspaper.
A large-scale arrest, a large-scale arrest of corrupt officials!
The people of Shanghai immediately gave up firecrackers happily, and the guns destroyed these corrupt officials.
Dai Chunfeng and Du Yuesheng sat on the top floor of Shanghai World, watching the police on the street detaining corruption criminals into the car and eating melon seeds leisurely. An agent of the Investigation Department walked to Dai Chunfeng's ear and said something. Dai Chunfeng nodded with satisfaction, bowed his hands to Du Yuesheng to express his gratitude, and left with a smile.
