Two days later, Taifeng Auto Transport Company received another order. The other end of the phone said that an engineer was going to work by car and asked them to send someone to deliver it.
The people from Taifeng Auto Transport Company did not hesitate and immediately sent someone to drive there.
As a result, the next day, people found the driver's body dumped on the side of Xinjibang Road. The cause of death was a cut throat and a bayonet penetrating the meninges.
In less than a week, almost ten drivers were killed, and the common feature of these murdered drivers was that their customers were all directly or indirectly connected to the Japanese.
Even the driver was fatally injured, and the weapons used by the murderers were mostly Japanese military equipment.
In addition to this incident, some people secretly added fuel to the flames, so it was quickly publicized in Shanghai.
Considering that the Japanese have been assassinating and arresting people with lofty ideals in resisting Japan in various places in Shanghai, such speculations gradually appeared among the crowd.
That is, after the Japanese hired these taxi drivers, in order to cover up their secrets, they killed these taxi drivers.
Of course, in addition to this, there are other theories, and each one is more outrageous and exaggerated than the last. Of course, these theories are also constantly stimulating the hearts of the Chinese people.
In response, drivers from several car transport companies were also filled with outrage.
They ignored the advice of the boss of the automobile transportation company and went on strike directly in Hongkou District.
Although you can earn more money by soliciting customers in Hongkou District, you have a life to make money, but you have no life to spend it!
Moreover, the labor-management relationship between taxi drivers and car transport companies has always been unequal, and in many cases they are even in a weak position.
The reason is also very simple, because they are illiterate, so when signing contract terms with automobile transportation companies, they often suffer a big loss because they are not familiar with the relevant terms and systems.
So if it wasn't for the food they needed to keep themselves and their families alive, they would have given up long ago.
Therefore, what happened this time can be regarded as arousing the emotions of the drivers of these car transportation companies. For a while, everyone was filled with indignation.
Later, with the help of some drivers, these people published a "Declaration of All Business Travel Drivers Rejecting Driving in the Occupied Areas" in the Translation Newspaper.
"The enemy has systematically killed our compatriots... In the past ten days, nearly a dozen car drivers have been brutally killed, which is unspeakable. All our drivers refuse to drive to enemy areas... We hope that our compatriots from all walks of life will provide sympathy and assistance!"
"
With the appearance of this announcement and the fanning of the flames by thoughtful people, in an instant, the entire city of Shanghai seemed to be like a pile of dry wood and a blazing fire. It only took a few sparks to burn into a raging fire.
"What do you think of this recent incident?" Li Wei looked at the newspaper in front of him, and then asked Yang Zhenggang.
After hearing Li Wei's inquiry, Yang Zhenggang also lowered his head slightly and began to think.
"Sir, I think the Japanese are starting to take action." After a while, Yang Zheng just raised his head and replied to Li Wei.
"Oh, what should I say?" Li Wei also continued to ask.
"First of all, what happened this time is very strange. For more than a year, these transportation company car drivers who have worked for the Japanese have been treated unfairly in some cases, but most of the time they are still safe.
.”
"And there were no deaths, but suddenly, nearly ten people died. This was very sudden and strange."
"But after taking into account some recent actions of the Japanese, it is not difficult to conclude that this may be a Japanese conspiracy."
"And judging from the current situation, some people are deliberately sowing discord, exaggerating the seriousness of this matter, and even constantly irritating everyone, as if they want to provoke hatred between Chinese and Japanese, so
It is said that some people are already secretly planning to hold demonstrations in Shanghai."
"The second thing is Japan. Although the Japanese have held a press conference since the driver was found dead and said they would catch the murderer soon, so many days have passed and the Japanese police seem to have nothing to do with this matter.
The progress is average, which is a bit intriguing." Yang Zhenggang thought for a moment, and then replied softly.
After listening to Yang Zhenggang's words, Li Wei nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Yang Zhenggang's analysis.
The murder of the driver this time should be a Japanese conspiracy. As for the purpose, no need to guess, it must be against Chinese agents.
But before Li Wei could speak, Yang Zhenggang raised his doubts: "But if the Japanese do this, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It is definitely not that simple. How could they be fooled? If no one is fooled.
, then aren’t the Japanese using this stage in vain?”
Seeing Yang Zhenggang like this, Li Wei also smiled slightly. Li Wei had always been quite satisfied with Yang Zhenggang's abilities.
But sometimes, Yang Zhenggang is still limited by some thinking. Of course, not only Yang Zhenggang, many people will have this problem.
"Some things are not viewed this way. Haven't you seen that the people in Shanghai have been ignited by this incident?"
"Sometimes, public opinion is very important, so even if they know that there is a huge fire pit ahead, many people will still jump in the face of such huge public opinion."
"I don't think it will take long before the headquarters may send us a telegram. After all, at this time, both the Chairman and the Red Party are secretly fighting for public opinion!"
"So for this thing, the Chairman will not care about the lives of little people like us." Li Wei said to Yang Zhenggang with some regret.
"Furthermore, these car transport companies in Hongkou District have been targeted by some secret services after signing contracts with the Japanese. So at this time, among the several car transport companies, there must be Zhongtong
, our military commander may be from the Red Party.”
"So no matter what, someone will definitely jump in this time." Before Yang Zhenggang could speak, Li Wei continued, his words full of sighs.
