Chapter 1517 Good news, bad news (please vote for me)
Cheng Qianfan stood at the window and watched the car in which Umezu Sakami lived left the yard of the central patrol house.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Fan." After Li Hao came in, he closed the door.
"The boss called and asked us to find a way to figure out the military trends of the Japanese Eleventh Army." Li Hao said, "However, the boss also said, pay attention to safety."
"I know." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
The task of Dai Chunfeng Dian Ling is very difficult.
With his status and level, it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to contact Gangcun. Therefore, his only way to break the situation is to start with Ping Chongyang.
However, originally Sakamoto Yoshino and Taira Chongyang were old classmates, which was a relationship that could be exploited. Unfortunately, the relationship between the two was not good. It was not easy to hook up with Ping Chongyang through Sakamoto Yoshino, but it had to be easy.
planned.
Fortunately, Boss Dai's telegram was to 'find a way' and not 'at all costs'. For Dai Chunfeng, who was always strict, he was already very tolerant.
"Also, the little Taoist priest has recovered from his injuries." Li Hao said.
"Yes, two good news early in the morning." Cheng Qianfan nodded happily.
The little Taoist priest could be said to have narrowly escaped death this time, as the situation was extremely dangerous.
"The little Taoist priest has already exposed himself to the enemy and is not suitable to stay in Shanghai." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "Pass my order to transfer Captain Zhuo Yun to the Rangers as deputy captain and captain of the second detachment."
"yes."
…
Bang bang bang.
There was a knock on the door.
Li Hao opened the door and saw Su Zhe standing at the door.
"Vice President Cheng, President Jin, please come over here." Su Zhe glanced at the two of them and said calmly.
"Got it." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Su Zhe and said, "Go back and tell Mr. Jin that I will be there after I finish handling the matter at hand."
"Vice President Cheng, President Jin, please come over now." Su Zhe said.
"Assistant Su, if your ears don't work, just stand up and listen!" Li Hao glared at Su Zhe, "Didn't you hear Brother Fan say you'll be there in a while?"
Su Zhe glanced at Li Hao, and he picked his ear with his right little finger, "Strange, where did the dog barking come from?"
"What did you say?" Li Hao was furious and was about to rush over and teach Su Zhe a lesson.
"That's enough." Cheng Qianfan slapped the table.
Li Hao immediately stood still, put away his fists, and stared at Su Zhe unkindly.
Cheng Qianfan picked up his police hat and walked past Su Zhe. He looked at Su Zhe coldly and said, "Assistant Su, I have something to go to Squad Leader Pete of the investigation team. You go back and tell Mr. Jin that I will
It will pass."
Hearing that Cheng Qianfan was using the Political Department's investigation team to pressure Jin Kemu, Su Zhe snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Cheng Qianfan turned his head and glanced at Haozi. Seeing that Haozi was suppressing a smile, he glared coldly. Haozi quickly stopped his smile and looked serious.
…
Seeing Cheng Qianfan coming in, Peter immediately asked eagerly, "Is that Japanese gone?"
"When the Japanese dwarf saw the cargo list, his reaction must have been wonderful."
"Are you mad?" Pete kept asking with a look of excitement and anticipation on his face.
"You seem very excited?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at Pete, "Does Squad Leader Pete hate the Japanese so much?"
"It's not like I don't like Japanese people for a day or two, and it's not like you don't know it." Peter said, "Tell me quickly, are the Japanese scared? Are they angry?"
"As you wish, Sagami Umetsuzumi was frightened. He was very angry and said that you were blackmailing." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said.
"Hahaha." Pete laughed happily.
"I don't know if our luck is too good or too bad." Cheng Qianfan sat on the sofa, picked up Peter's cigarette case, popped out a cigarette, lit it, and took a slow drag.
"What do you mean?" Pete asked.
"A bad news." Cheng Qianfan said.
"kindness?"
"The warehouse of the Military Police Headquarters caught fire last night." Cheng Qianfan said.
"What?" Peter was shocked, "What about our goods?"
"There is another good news." Cheng Qianfan said, "The batch of goods we seized by the gendarmerie happened to be in the warehouse that caught fire, and all the goods were burned."
"PUTIN!" Pete's expression changed, "What kind of good news is this? Our goods were burned, and you actually said this is good..."
As he said that, Peter was stunned, and he looked straight at Cheng Qianfan.
Then, Peter came to his senses and couldn't help laughing, "It's burning well, it's burning well, it's really good news."
…
"I told Umezu Sagami." Cheng Qianfan chuckled and said, "They were lucky enough to get the cargo list before you learned that the goods were burned. Otherwise, with the greed of squad leader Pete, that would not be the case.
It’s a matter of two hundred thousand silver dollars.”
"Who are you calling greedy?" Pete was not happy when he heard this. He shouted, and then Pete rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, you are right."
He said to Cheng Qianfan, "What if I make a new cargo list and say that our goods are worth 300,000 silver dollars?"
"Don't be too greedy, be careful of getting shot." Cheng Qianfan glared at Peter and said, "Also, this is your goods, don't make any mistake about it."
"It's a pity, it's a pity." Peter shook his head and sighed, "It would be a pity, it would be a pity if we knew earlier that there was a fire in their warehouse."
"Okay, I'm here to tell you this. As for how to negotiate with the Japanese military police and claim compensation from them, it's up to you." Cheng Qianfan picked up the police hat placed on the table and said, "Jin
Always look for me, I'll come over."
"You ordered the sealing of Zhang Xiaolin's gambling stall and salt shop. There have been constant calls in the past two days, and the authorities are also having a headache." Peter reminded.
"Got it." Cheng Qianfan nodded, knowing that Peter was reminding him of the possible reason why Jin Kemu was looking for him.
…
"Uncle Jin, are you looking for me?" Cheng Qianfan Shiran entered Jin Kemu's office. He picked up a snuff bottle on Jin Kemu's desk and looked at it with interest.
"Director Sarat called me personally." Jin Kemu glanced at Cheng Qianfan and said, "I'm also under a lot of pressure. I'll let him go soon."
"It seems that President Jin is really under a lot of pressure." Cheng Qianfan put down the snuff bottle and raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth, "Is this still my Uncle Jin who hates tablet pressing?"
The problem of tableting flooding in Shanghai can be said to be long-standing and deep-rooted.
"Shanghai Salt Hall is the best in the world, with elegant and clean decoration, tea bowls, and lamp trays, all of which are exquisite. Mianyun Pavilion is the most outstanding, with its hanging windows and extremely fine carvings. It is like the integrity of the south, and the integrity of the north is better than the openness.
, live happily and drunkenly, eternally prosperous with wine and food... At midnight, the two markets come with the same tide at the same time. The smoke is popular, and it is as misty as fog... The smoke is like miasma, poisonous like snakes, killing people like hemp..."
This is a passage written by Ge Yuanxu in the Qing Dynasty in "Miscellaneous Notes on Travels to Shanghai".
The word "Jia Tianxia" is very shocking. As the most prosperous metropolis in the Far East, it is actually famous for its salt museum.
The Salt House has even become a symbol of the most high-end places in Shanghai. The interior decoration of the restaurant is exquisite, the business space is spacious, and the food and wine are excellent. Each Salt House has its own characteristics.
…
In April of the 14th year of the Republic of China, the French Concession negotiated with Du Yongsheng. The French proposed that the other party pay 35,000 yuan in "hush money" and allow them to open five tableting shops and one warehouse.
Payment will be made after trial opening.
In early June, the two parties reached an agreement. Du Yongsheng promised to pay the French side a one-time payment of 140,000 yuan after three months of operation, and then pay 80,000 yuan per month. A box of pressed tablets would cost 250 yuan from unloading to the warehouse.
, the monthly payment for a salt shop is 500 yuan.
From then on, the plate number of Sanxin Company's tablet truck was handed over to the French Concession Patrol Room in advance, and the French Concession Patrol Room was controlled by Huang Jingrong.
The police chief of the French Concession Patrol Room can receive a 2% rebate on his monthly tableting profits.
At the same time, Du Yongsheng became Director Hua of the Public Board of Directors.
In this way, Du Yongsheng achieved a "win-win" with the French Concession and the public concession authorities.
Over time, the police system in the concession was gradually infiltrated by the film business.
In the 20th year of the Republic of China, the new consul of the French Concession was dissatisfied with the 300,000 yuan "subsidy" provided by his predecessors such as Du Yongsheng, Huang Jingrong, Zhang Xiaolin, etc., demanded an increase in profits, and threatened to crack down on drugs.
Under this situation, the Qinggang took another approach. Wu Tieyi, the special mayor of Shanghai, allowed Sanxin Company to move into the Chinese border.
The following year, under the protection of the Ministry of Finance, Sanxin Company reopened in another form in Taiping Lane, Nanshi, paying 200,000 yuan a month to the local and central governments.
The Anti-Smoking Bureau of the Nanjing Government handed over the seized pressed tablets to Du Yongsheng for purification into morphine, heroin and red pills. Therefore, the national government could earn a profit of US$50,000 per day, and this amount of money directly turned into the military expenditure of the national government to suppress the red pills.
, turned into aircraft cannons and bullets.
Du Yongsheng even later became a member of the Shanghai Anti-Smoking Committee.
Many core gang members of the Youth Gang have also entered the anti-smoking management circle.
The ban on smoking in Shanghai has become a joke.
In fact, the French Concession officially prohibits tablet trading. However, there are policies and countermeasures. Du Yongsheng left Hong Kong Island, Huang Jingrong thanked the guests behind closed doors, and Zhang Xiaolin defected to the Japanese, wantonly expanding his power, and through bribery
The senior police officer and director of the French Concession Authority opened another salt shop in the French Concession in the name of "TCM health care".
Director Sarat was one of Zhang Xiaolin's patrons at the top of the French Concession authorities. According to Cheng Qianfan's secret investigation, this person could receive about 5,000 silver dollars in benefits from Zhang Xiaolin every month.
The most important thing is that Zhang Xiaolin's aggressive expansion of salt dens in Shanghai received strong support from the Japanese. The Japanese and Zhang Xiaolin shared the accounts, which not only made them a lot of money, but also allowed them to press tablets and abuse the Chinese people.
Jin Kemu, who has patriotic sentiments, has always hated this.
…
"Don't be so weird." Jin Kemu glared at Cheng Qianfan, "Let him go if you ask him to."
"Okay, Uncle Jin, you have spoken, I will let him go, let him go." Cheng Qianfan chuckled.
Seeing that Cheng Qianfan understood what he meant, Jin Kemu said angrily, "Young people are restless and use their brains to do things."
"Yes, yes, yes." Cheng Qianfan stepped forward and squeezed Jin Kemu's shoulders, "You are a scheming and cunning old man. Qianfan still has plenty to learn."
"You bastard." Jin Kemu scolded angrily.
…
"Chief, this is the confession of the guards who were on duty that night, Takahashi Kiyono, Kita Kintaro, Bando Kazuya, and Nagasaka Kazuo." Shinichiro Suganuma, chief of the Detective Section of the Military Police Headquarters Inspection Office, handed a stack of documents to Kenjiro Kitani.
.
"Is there anything unusual?" Kenjiro Kitani asked.
"Nothing unusual has been found yet." Shinichiro Suganuma said, "The guards on duty at the warehouse are not open to the outside world. The fire came from inside the warehouse. Objectively speaking, the guards are fulfilling their duties and have not found any problems."
"But-" Shinichiro Suganuma said thoughtfully.
"But what?" Kenjiro Kitani asked immediately.
"There is a situation." Shinichiro Suganuma said, "Yoshiki Sugimoto was supposed to be on duty that night. Because he was feeling unwell, he asked Sergeant Takahashi Kiyono to take over."
"Not feeling well?" Kenjiro Kitani frowned, "Have you checked this situation with Sugimoto Yoshiki?"
"Hai." Shinichiro Suganuma nodded, "I have already interrogated Sugimoto Yoshiki. According to Sugimoto Yoshiki, he had an upset stomach and diarrhea last night. In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Takahashi Kiyoshi to be on duty."
"Diarrhea?" Kenjiro Kitani said thoughtfully, "Why is it such a coincidence? Sugimoto Yoshiki hired someone to take over, and then the warehouse caught fire that night?"
"Does the room chief suspect Sugimoto Yoshiki?" Shinichiro Suganuma asked.
"No, I suspect everyone involved." Kenjiro Kitani said, "Sugimoto Yoshiki is not feeling well. Did he take any medicine? Did he go to the medical room for treatment? These situations must continue to be investigated and every detail must be implemented."
"Hai."
"Also, Kiyono Takahashi, who is filling in for Sugimoto Yoshiki." Kenjiro Kitani said thoughtfully, "We also need to investigate carefully and investigate his usual relationship with Sugimoto Yoshiki. Why doesn't Sugimoto Yoshiki find someone else to fill in for him?
Are you looking for Kiyono Takahashi to take over?"
"Hai." Shinichiro Suganuma nodded, and then asked doubtfully, "Does the room chief suspect that there is something wrong with our soldiers?"
"Whether there is a problem or not, we will know after checking." Kenjiro Kitani shook his head, "If we check clearly, it will also be a kind of protection for these soldiers."
He said with a serious expression, "There was a fire in the warehouse, and it was an unexpected fire. The matter is very serious. We must first conduct a self-examination. Only by eliminating possible internal problems can the military police avoid greater trouble."
"Hai."
…
"Has Sanami-kun come back?" Kenjiro Kitani asked, "Didn't he go to Cheng Qianfan from the French Concession to get the cargo list?"
"Not yet." Shinichiro Suganuma shook his head and said.
At this time, the guard came in and reported, "Chief, Lieutenant Colonel Umezu Umezu is back. He has something to report to you."
"円西." A smile appeared on Kitani Kenjiro's face. He stretched his body and leaned back on the chair. "Sagami-kun was eager to see me as soon as he came back. It seems that Sangami-kun has made a new discovery.
.”
"Finally there is good news." He said with a smile, "Please come in, Mr. Sasami."
