Chapter 112 Greedy by nature

Meng Shaoyuan sat there calmly and waited.

Almost half an hour has passed.

Meng Shaoyuan was not in a hurry at all.

Many times, waiting is also a virtue.

Forty-five minutes later, Daniel’s assistant finally showed up:

"Mr. Police Commissioner, I can see you now."

"Thanks."

Meng Shaoyuan stood up with a smile and carried a bag.

In the office, Daniel was looking at a document. When Meng Shaoyuan came in, he didn't even look at it.

After deliberately leaving Meng Shaoyuan alone for a few minutes, Daniel finally raised his head: "Charles, I'm glad to see you again. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

If he were not a relative of Mrs. Rose, he would not even receive him.

"Thank you, Mr. Police Commissioner." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I'm here to talk to you about some of the history of China and Shanghai."

"What?"

Daniel wondered if he had heard wrongly.

Did he come to talk to me about the history of China and Shanghai?

Is he crazy?

Or does he have other purposes?

Meng Shaoyuan sat down by himself: "Look, back then, the British Empire used warships and cannons to open the door of China's isolation. Then, in addition to the advanced Western civilization, there was another thing that poured into China, opium.

This is really disgusting. In Shanghai, there are also many opium smokers, youth gang bosses, business celebrities, and prostitutes in brothels, all like this.

The Nationalist Government has already banned smoking, but there are always people doing it secretly. In Shanghai, the biggest opium dealer is called You Xianghong. Mr. Police Commissioner, have you heard of this person?"

Daniel's right hand was clenched into a fist. After hearing the name, his thumb moved involuntarily.

Meng Shaoyuan carefully observed his every move: "You Xianghong controls the opium supply in Shanghai, Wuhan, and even Nanjing, but he cannot do this if no one cooperates with him. Mr. Commissioner of Police

, who do you think he is cooperating with?"

"I don't know, and I don't care." Daniel's brows furrowed: "What exactly do you want to say, Charles Meng?"

"But I am very concerned, Mr. Police Commissioner." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "The person who provides him with protection is you, right?"

Daniel was immediately furious: "What nonsense are you talking about! How could I, the police commissioner, cooperate with an opium dealer!"

"Don't be excited." Meng Shaoyuan kept his smile: "Not only do you provide protection for You Xianghong, but you also have shares. You settle accounts every four months, and You Xianghong personally delivers the money to your home.

However, the last payment was delayed. Why? Did You Xianghong default on the payment? No, he wanted to mobilize funds to do a big business.

And after careful consideration, you agreed to settle the payments for the two settlement periods together at the end of this year. That's a lot of money. That batch of goods will pass through Nanjing in two days.

.You said, if the ship carrying the cargo was suddenly inspected, would you feel distressed, Mr. Commissioner of Police?"

Sweat suddenly broke out on Daniel's forehead.

Of course he would be distressed, and terribly distressed.

Once the ship is inspected, it means that your investment will be wiped out immediately.

That's a huge sum of money.

How did "Charles" know this?

No, who is this young man?

"Who are you? What is your true identity?" Daniel asked quickly.

"I am a spy, serving the National Government." Meng Shaoyuan did not hide his identity at all: "Inspecting smuggling and opium is also one of my tasks. I will notify Nanjing and seize the ship immediately. You can

What should we do, Mr. Police Commissioner?

You have no way to intervene publicly. After all, this is Nanjing, not the Shanghai Public Concession. It is beyond the reach of your hands. Moreover, your identity does not allow you to do so. A dignified police commissioner actually

Colluding with opium traffickers will cause an uproar. Don't forget, my public identity is that of a journalist."

Reporter of "Chinese Business Daily".

If the scandal about the Commissioner of Police is published in the newspapers, it will definitely cause an uproar in the concession.

Amid the wave of protests, the Ministry of Industry may even remove Daniel from his post because he cannot withstand the pressure.

Even if he could still sit in this position, his reputation would be destroyed.

What worries Daniel the most is his money.

He would rather be dismissed than lose such a large amount of money.

That will drive him crazy.

Although it was unclear whether the other party had the ability to seize the ship, Daniel was absolutely unwilling to take risks: "You need me to do something for you, Charles."

He was a smart man, and he quickly guessed that the reason why Meng Shaoyuan told him this must have a purpose.

"I want to kill a few people." Meng Shaoyuan said nonchalantly: "The first one is Yin Kesheng."

"What? Killing? In the public concession?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Police Commissioner, let me show you something first." Meng Shaoyuan moved the stool and sat across from Daniel's desk. He sat down again, opened the bag, took out a check and put it on the table.

On the desk:

"Five thousand pounds is just an ordinary revenge case. Yin Kesheng had an enemy, the Taihu gangster Xue Sanqiang. It was Xue Sanqiang who came to the public concession to seek revenge and killed Yin Kesheng. At the murder scene, you will find sufficient evidence

.Then, how to capture Yin Kesheng is what the National Government needs to arrest."

Five thousand pounds! That’s equivalent to fifty-four thousand oceans!

Daniel's eyes were fixed on the check.

But once I accept this check...

"The death of a Chinese will not cause any ripples in the concession." Meng Shaoyuan was confident: "I heard that Yin Kesheng's relative Fei Xijiang was working in the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. I told him the results of the investigation. If he wanted to take revenge, he would be very worried.

You can go to Xue Sanqiang. Or are you prepared to stand up for a Chinese, a gangster leader?"

Daniel accepted the check: "So, where is the ship?"

"What kind of ship?" Meng Shaoyuan looked surprised: "I have never known any kind of ship."

A smile flashed across Daniel's face: "A Taihu gangster actually ran into the public concession, and we didn't know anything about it. As the police chief, I still failed in my duty."

Meng Shaoyuan also laughed.

A miser will never allow any loss of his property. And a miser must also be a greedy guy.

Opium dealer? You'll deal with it later. For now, do what you need to do.

"Then, it's the second thing." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I need you to transfer most of the patrol officers from the daily arrest room the day after tomorrow. You need to give me at least three hours."
