At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang met Major Huang Yanning in the lobby of Huamao Hotel.

The person who came was a young officer, wearing the uniform of the National Revolutionary Army and leather boots with spurs on his feet. The uniform was neat and the boots were well polished. He did not carry a riding whip in his hand, but he wore a pistol in his left waist.

He came by car with a special license plate made by the Shanghai Garrison Headquarters.

Seeing Lu Ming and Zhang Ziyang together, he quickly walked over and said with a smile, "Excuse me, sir, is it Lu Ming?"

Lu Ming glanced around, but there was no movement, then nodded and said, "I am Lu Ming."

"Your Majesty, Huang Yanning, works in the Garrison Headquarters. It's the first time we met, and I hope you will take care of me in the future." Huang Yanning said very politely.

"I don't dare to take care of you. Adjutant Huang is a high-ranking official of the garrison headquarters. I will inevitably ask you to take care of me in the future." Lu Ming made up his mind, never mentioning Sheng Youde, let's see what he has to say.

"Mr. Lu is a talented student who studied in the United States, and who knows the famous detective in Shanghai." Huang Yanning said generously.

"I said, can the two of you stop being polite to each other and talk to each other quickly if you have something to do?" Zhang Ziyang said coldly.

I don't know if it was because Huang Yanning gave him a little cold shoulder, but Zhang Ziyang felt a little upset.

"Inspector Zhang, I'm sorry, there is something I have to talk to Mr. Lu alone." Huang Yanning smiled apologetically at Zhang Ziyang.

"Okay, I'll open a single room in the hotel." Zhang Ziyang smiled.

"No, the soundproofing of the single room in the hotel is not good, and the partition has ears. Let's talk outside. It's better to talk in my car." Huang Yanning smiled at Lu Ming.

"Well, let's go then." Lu Ming had no objection.

"Then get in my car and say, it's the same." Zhang Ziyang said first.

Although it was impossible for Huang Yanning to play tricks in the car, Zhang Ziyang was used to taking the initiative. Police officers probably have this occupational disease.

The relationship between the local Shanghai police and the police headquarters has not been very harmonious, and the conflict has a long history.

Almost all of the soldiers in the iron-clad barracks of the Garrison Command are outsiders, and the local police are all sitters.

One is the police, the other is the military police, the two are not of the same nature.

However, the people in the security command are much more powerful than the bitter police, so the police often have to make a good mouth.

Not only did Huang Yanning not object, but he took advantage of the situation and made a gesture of invitation, and the two got into the back seat of Zhang Ziyang's semi-old Ford one by one.

"Mr. Lu, I have met Ms. Yuan Ziyuan. She is in a very dangerous situation." Seeing that Zhang Ziyang was far away from the car and could not hear their conversation, Huang Yanning spoke frankly and honestly.

"You saw Ziyuan, where is she now?" Lu Ming suddenly became nervous, and Sheng Youde didn't tell him the specific situation of Ziyuan.

"Don't worry, it's a long story. She fell into the hands of the Japanese, you have to find a way to save her quickly." Huang Yanning said with emotion.

"Then make a long story short."

"That's right, I met Miss Yuan Ziyuan a few months ago on the steamer Kyo no Maru sailing on the canal."

"Kyo no Maru? Isn't that a Japanese-funded shipping company's ship? Why did Yuan Ziyuan get on that ship? So did Adjutant Huang. How did he get on that ship?" Lu Ming was stunned.

"I don't know why Ms. Yuan got on that boat. I'm going to Jining to pay a visit to an old official. He is my benefactor, and my mother's [-]th birthday. Then I have to take the train to Beiping via Jinan for business. Jining... ..." Huang Yanning had an expression of accepting the censorship seriously.

"Okay, I see. I want to know what Yuan Ziyuan told you?" Lu Ming hurriedly asked.

"Actually, I didn't say anything at first, just getting to know each other. I had never met Ms. Yuan before, but I knew her name as soon as she said her name. Chairman Sheng Youde and our commander are old friends. I went there as soon as I returned to Shanghai. Met with President Sheng...Miss Yuan is his prospective niece and daughter-in-law. I'm not wrong." Huang Yanning laughed.

Lu Ming listened patiently, while Huang Yanning was still circling around, seeing Lu Ming frowned and hurried on.

"At that time, Ms. Yuan just said that something happened at home, so she wanted to go out to relax, bought a ticket and boarded this boat, and planned to go ashore to enjoy the scenery when she stopped along the way. Although she said so, I could feel her Not telling the truth, and she kept looking around while talking to me, as if she was afraid someone was watching her."

"Then is there anyone watching her?" Lu Ming asked.

"Yes, Miss Yuan pointed my eyes on purpose when I was observing. I saw a few people wandering around, as if they were watching Miss Yuan. I thought she was having some trouble with her family. A beautiful woman like her went out alone Some bad guys might be targeting me. I told Ms. Yuan not to be afraid, I will protect her. I was accompanied by two guards, and all three of us were wearing guns. Maybe it was because of this that Ms. Yuan asked me for help. Right." Huang Yanning said with a wry smile.

"She is already under your protection, how could something happen? The three of you are regular soldiers, and you all carry guns." Lu Ming didn't understand.

"Yes, two guards took turns guarding the door of Ms. Yuan's cabin two nights ago. During the day, I brought a guard to protect her. But on the third night, Ms. Yuan suddenly came to me and told me that she had a There is something very important that I need to help her with."

"It's something very important." Lu Ming pricked up his ears.

"It's actually three letters. She handed me three letters and told me that if something happens to her, she must find a way to send them out for her, and send them at different times, not at the same time."

"These three letters?" Lu Ming took out three letters from his inner pocket.

Lu Ming estimated that he would discuss these three letters when meeting Huang Yanning, so he carried them close to his body.

"Yes, it's these three letters. I don't know what these three letters represent, but judging by Miss Yuan's meaning, it is more important than her life. I stayed in Beiping for half a year because of a special mission, so I had to ask According to her request, the letter was sent out at different times." Huang Yanning said calmly.

"She was wrong, nothing in this world is more important than her life." Lu Ming said with some pain.

"Well, Mr. Lu is right. Now that the three letters are with you, I feel relieved." Huang Yanning said indifferently.

"What else did Yuan Ziyuan tell you?" Lu Ming asked again.

"She told me at the time that if something happened to her, don't worry about it, just make sure that these letters are sent safely, and after returning to Shanghai, she will find a chance to tell Lu about the situation. gentlemen."

Compared with Lu Ming, Huang Yanning actually believed in Sheng Youde more, he was a god after all, so he met Sheng Youde first after returning to Shanghai.When we met today, he really didn't see anything unusual about Lu Ming.

But the person involved, Yuan Ziyuan, told him very clearly that he had to report the situation to Lu Ming. After two days of consideration, he decided to meet this so-called Shanghai Bund detective.

"Then is Ziyuan alive now or..." Lu Ming took a long breath and asked, and then he was seized by a sense of fear. He was very afraid that Huang Yanning would tell him some unfortunate news.

Just now Huang Yanning said that Yuan Ziyuan is in danger, which means that Ziyuan is still alive, but so much time has passed, who knows what will happen during this time?

This Huang Yanning is really stable, no matter what, he should pass on the news sooner.
