Since the war, some people with some social status or some savings have considered Kowloon Tong as their first choice for settling down.

When choosing a residence in Hong Kong, the first choice is of course the top of Victoria Peak, which is adjacent to the Governor's House. Unfortunately, Chinese people are not qualified to live on the top of the mountain. Several villas with excellent views are occupied by ghosts, so they can only retreat.

The second best option is to choose Mid-levels of Taipingshan. Many wealthy Chinese may not live in Mid-levels of Taipingshan, but they will definitely have a villa there to prove their identity.

Beyond the mid-levels, there are more choices. Rich people who don’t live in villas in the Mid-Levels area of ​​Victoria Peak mostly occupy other mountaintops in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and other places, such as Mount Goffu, Mount Katoli, etc. to enjoy the panoramic views.

Those with small mountain scenery and slightly worse ones are located in the Western District and Wan Chai area of ​​Hong Kong Island, such as some small and medium-sized factory owners, a well-known detective, a well-known Chinese manager of a foreign company, etc., and even worse ones are Ma Jingui.

Kowloon Tong where he settled at that time.

Although many villas and houses have been built here, it is close to Kowloon City, and many wealthy Chinese do not bother to live next to the poor. However, after World War II, the situation stabilized, and a large number of ghosts fled back to Britain before the war and returned to Hong Kong after the war.

, but found that Kowloon Tong is a good place because it is close to the suburbs, with greenery and a quiet environment. A large number of British people have moved into villas and houses in this area of ​​Kowloon Tong, thinking that the air here is fresh, away from the hustle and bustle, and they can enjoy life.

Driven by the ghost guys, a large number of Chinese compradors, Chinese detectives, and Chinese businessmen also poured in, successfully turning Kowloon Tong into a new luxury residential area.

Ma Jingui can live in a single-family house in Kowloon Tong not because he had consciously wanted to spend a lot of money to buy a villa and live next to his boss in order to advance in the police force. Of course, even if he thought so, he would not

He couldn't come up with the money, but he bought this bungalow before the ghost guys returned to Hong Kong after the war and before Kowloon Tong became a new luxury area. The price at that time was higher than it is now.

It's much cheaper, otherwise Ma Jingui's income as a detective, which is most suitable for his net worth, should be to buy a tenement house on Hong Kong Island to live in and rent out at the same time.

There are three things that Ma Jingui must show off to everyone: first, he has the powerful man Sheng Sihai as his boss, second, he has a high-ranking ghost official as his neighbor in Kowloon Tong, and third, he has a major staff officer of the Kuomintang as his son.

Although people in the world say that Ma Jingui is timid, greedy for money, drunk, and notoriously irresponsible, when seeing Ma Jingui, whether colleagues or people in the world, they still have to politely call him brother, or at most tease him behind his back, what can Ma Jingui do?

Today, it all depends on helping Sheng Sihai pimp him back then.

Normally, Ma Jingui would have gone to bed early. In the past two years, the Kuomintang's retreat and mainland Chinese people fleeing the war have poured into Hong Kong. Various cases handled by the police have piled up, even if they suppressed some unimportant cases.

, but there are still a large number of cases that give bosses headaches waiting to be solved. Often, bosses have headaches because they are robbed at well-known Chinese merchants, or the wife of a certain boss official was robbed of her jewelry when she was on the street. In short, the main problem is that

There are strong backgrounds behind them. If the ghost guy can't handle it, he will naturally urge his Chinese detectives. Therefore, when Ma Jingui goes home every day and can lie on the bed, he will never sit down and rest.

But today Ma Jingui was out of character. The family's old servant, Suzhou Guy, saw his master pacing in the living room, and more than half a pack of cigarettes had fallen off the coffee table.

"Is it because the three ladies are all inconvenient tonight?" The Suzhou guy rubbed his chin, watched Ma Jingui pace in the corner of the living room, and muttered to himself.

Then he gave up the idea. It was impossible for the three ladies to menstruate in one day. Could it be that the master was worried about official matters in the police force? It was impossible. He knew the master too well. He would be lazy if he could, and he would never do it.

Because of the headache of official work, in his words, the salary given by Gui Lao is not worth the headache of helping him. If he can go to the embassy every day to report, he is already worthy of the salary.

After thinking for a while, the Suzhou man's eyes suddenly lit up. He figured out why Ma Jingui was troubled, so he picked up the ginseng tea and took a few steps closer to Ma Jingui: "Master, have you fallen in love with another woman? I will help you quietly."

Will you arrange the vehicle? Can I help you explain a few words in front of the ladies?"

"Go away~" Ma Jingui cursed angrily when he heard his servants running over to help him solve problems: "I am an upright person, the kind of person who looks for flowers and asks for advice..."

He stopped mid-sentence. The Suzhou guy had been with him for many years, and it was all because of this bitch that his two-bedroom concubine could get in. It seemed unnecessary to say that he was a gentleman in front of him.

"Sir, I have a headache because of Brother Sheng's family affairs. It's already late at night. I don't know how A Xie is doing." Ma Jingui took a sip of the tea handed over by the Suzhou guy: "If you really make He Sheng Tang's faucet, you will only know how to do it."

It hurt him."

It turned out that he was upset about the Sheng family. After hearing this, the Suzhou guy looked clear. The Sheng family and the Ma family were close friends. Sheng Sihai and Ma Jingui even entrusted their wives and children to worship their mother.

Friendship, in this world, if Ma Jingui can still be upset about an outsider's affairs, then only the Sheng family will be left.

"Isn't it a good thing for the third young master of the Sheng family to be the leader? Every son inherits his father's legacy." The Suzhou man said from the side: "Besides, I still have you to take care of me. Are you afraid that the third young master will not be able to secure this position?"

Ma Jingui spit out a piece of ginseng and said in an impatient tone: "What do you know? A Xie is a scholar and has a great future. How could he get involved in this pool of dirty water? If I can protect myself, why am I still walking around the house?

"

On the road leading to his villa outside, two car lights were on. Ma Jingui looked out through the living room window:

"A Kun is back, open the door, and let Sister Chun go to the kitchen to help A Kun prepare some food." Ma Jingui thought it was his son Ma Kun coming back late at night, so he said to the Suzhou guy.

The Suzhou man agreed, walked out of the living room, and trotted towards the door of the villa. But after he saw the car outside clearly, he trotted into the living room again and said to Ma Jingui: "Master, it's not the young master's car outside. The person who came said it was the Sheng family's car."

Third Young Master, you..."

Before the Suzhou guy could continue to croak, Ma Jingui put down his tea cup and rushed out of the living room, walked through the courtyard of the villa and stood at the door. Sure enough, Sheng Jiashu was standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile.

Ma Jingui opened the door himself: "A crab, you..."

"Uncle Gui, I brought you a late-night snack to have a drink with you." Sheng Jiashu raised the late-night snack he bought in his hand and said to Ma Jingui.

"Come in, come in." Ma Jingui put his arm around Sheng Jiashu's shoulders and walked towards the living room with him.

Just as he turned around, a car hurriedly drove over from a distance and parked directly behind Sheng Jiashu's Ford. Before the car could stop, the driver jumped out of the car and shouted at Ma Jingui at the top of his lungs:
Chapter completed!
