Dai Li spent a long time in his office thinking about where to get the money, but he still couldn't figure out a way.
The commissioner insisted that he get to the bottom of this case, but there was no way to investigate the case. Kang Ze was guaranteed by the commissioner, and no one would believe Kang Ze.
He also checked every detail of Lu Ming. Although there were doubts, there was no conclusive evidence, but the committee member still relied on his own intuition to feel that there was something wrong with Lu Ming.
There are indeed problems with too many coincidences, but each coincidence has enough reasons to show that Lu Ming has no problems.
The key point is that the United States has spoken again. Continuing to investigate Lu Ming is tantamount to putting a rope on itself. This kind of thing cannot be done under any circumstances.
If you continue to investigate and still fail to find the problem, you will become a rat in the bellows and suffer from both sides. If you don't do well, you will be abandoned like a broken shoe.
Dai Li racked his brains and felt that there was still a coincidence worth exploring, which was Caobang.
No matter whether he can dig something out of Caobang, at least he won't be hurt.
Last time, the Cao Gang secretly sold a shipload of arms to the Communist Party. Because the incident involved Sheng Youde, Zhang Wenbai and the German advisory group, the incident was ignored.
The arms transported to the Jiangxi battlefield this time were Caobang's ships, and this batch of arms happened to fall into the hands of the Communist army.
In addition, the grain and other items transported to the Communist base areas were also transported by Caobang ships. This seems to be a good explanation of the problem.
But what the Caobang does is shipping. As long as bulk items are transported, everyone has to go to the Caobang, just like whoever wants to buy drugs has to go to the Qinghong Gang.
It seems that Caobang is a soft persimmon who can be manipulated casually, but Dai Li, who is well aware of the dangers of the world, knows that things are not that simple.
If the Cao Gang didn't have a deep background, they would have been wiped out by the Qinghong Gang long ago. In addition, the relationship between the Cao Gang and Lu Ming is too deep. Taking action against the Cao Gang will definitely offend Lu Ming.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Dai Li really didn't want to offend Lu Ming. After all, Lu Ming is the God of Wealth. Who can have trouble with the God of Wealth?
He thought about it again and again, but finally couldn't make up his mind and had no choice but to come to He Zhonghan.
"Sir He, do you think the commissioner really has doubts about Lu Ming, or do you want to temper him?" Dai Li asked.
"I think what the committee means is that if there is any suspicion, investigate it to the end. If there is no suspicion, then it is a test. I think so too. We still need to investigate, but we can't investigate without purpose." He Zhonghan was ambiguous.
road.
Dai Li smiled bitterly. What he fears most is dealing with these high-level people. They will not give you a definite answer at all.
Although some people now think that he has infiltrated the top management, he himself knows that he is not a high-level person at all, he is just a thug at best.
"I want to check it from Caobang, but I don't know if it's feasible?" Dai Li asked tentatively.
"Caogang? Is Caogang suspected of collaborating with others? Yunong, you are avoiding the important and taking the easy." He Zhonghan said with a smile.
Of course, He Zhonghan's intention was not to ask him to give up the Cao Gang and investigate Lu Ming, but to suggest that he should quickly establish the fact that Lu Ming was not suspected and end this ridiculous case.
In He Zhonghan's opinion, the committee member wanted to find a scapegoat because he suffered too much loss this time, so he wanted to find a scapegoat. However, using Lu Ming as a scapegoat would also cause trouble for himself.
This account cannot be paid, of course the committee members are so high up that they cannot feel the difficulties of those below.
Of course He Zhonghan knew about the last time Caobang sold a shipload of arms to the Communist Party, and didn't pay much attention to it.
In his opinion, both the Cao Gang and the Qinghong Gang are actually businessmen. Fighting and killing in the arena are just for profit. Profit-seeking is their foundation. As long as they have enough profits, they can even kill their own father.
Sold.
In order to make money, businessmen don't care who they sell things to. To say that these gangs are all in common is to look down on them.
In He Zhonghan's view, these gangs are the least likely to be communists, because the Communist Party simply looks down upon these gang members and even hates them.
There are quite a few people who are communists in the party, the military, and at the top levels of the government, and it can be said that it is impossible to find out. But the only people who are not doubtful are the people in the gangs, and there is no way they are communists.
Dai Li originally meant this, so he never took action against the Caobang, but now he really can't find any other way to go.
"I'm talking to Yu Nong, you don't want to use Caogang to beat Lu Ming, do you? If that's the case, it's not impossible, but you have to have a good sense of proportion. Don't go too far, don't go too far. You have to leave a good future for yourself.
Road." He Zhonghan ordered.
"I know, I know." Dai Li nodded.
He Zhonghan sighed. Although he didn't say much, the meaning was complicated.
He is now nominally the president of the Fuxing Society. In fact, he has basically left the affairs of the Fuxing Society behind. Dai Li is in charge. He is more of an adviser to the committee members and provides advice.
He asked Liu Cuicui to tell Lu Ming through Liu Qiwen, and quickly asked Sheng Youde to help him get back. In fact, he was giving the committee a step down.
He felt that the current committee was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off. If there was no way to get off the case, the case would be closed in such a hurry, and he would be embarrassed, and he might suffer all kinds of ridicule from Mr. Wang and others in the future.
The biggest trouble is Sheng Youde. If Sheng Gong turns his back, gives up on finances, and fails to cooperate with Mr. Jiang, those local warlords will definitely cause trouble again.
He has been with leaders for many years and knows that what leaders value most is not principles, but face.
The government of the Republic of China was too fragile and could not withstand any storms. Mr. Chiang had already stepped down once during the "September 18th Incident". If there was another turmoil, all the hard-earned achievements would be wiped out.
Although the Communist troops have regained their breath in the base area, they are not enough to compete with the strength of the national army. Given time, they can still be wiped out in one fell swoop.
But there are still Japanese people. In any case, what Lu Ming hijacked was the Japanese army's arsenal, which should be regarded as a contribution to the Republic of China government.
The meritorious service is clear, but the fault is unsubstantiated.
On this issue, He Zhonghan and Mr. Wenbai have the same view. After investigation and imprisonment, people must be released when they should be released.
As for whether Lu Ming was a communist, He Zhonghan didn't think about it at all, because it was too ridiculous and ridiculous. In his opinion, even if he was a communist one day, Lu Ming wouldn't.
"By the way, if you want to attack the Caogang, you have to inform Boss Du and Boss Huang in advance to avoid any misunderstanding." He Zhonghan said.
"I understand." Dai Li nodded.
He understands what He Zhonghan said. Although the Qinghong Gang and the Cao Gang cannot be dealt with, they are both Jianghu people. If the government takes action against the Cao Gang, the Qinghong Gang will doubt whether the government wants to get rid of the gangs in Shanghai. It is inevitable that there will be
Misunderstand.
People in the Jianghu are like this. They can fight to the death among themselves, but when they encounter external forces, especially pressure from the government, they will immediately unite. This is also a tradition they have formed since the Qing Dynasty. What they are afraid of is being
The government was divided and disintegrated and eliminated one by one.
"Don't rush to take action. I'll report it to the committee first. It won't be too late before you get the committee's approval."
He Zhonghan thought about it and still felt that Dai Li's idea was a bit risky, but he couldn't stop it. After all, Dai Li was commissioned to directly direct the investigation of the case.
But He Zhonghan didn't know that Dai Li was a ruthless guy.
The reason why Dai Li won the favor of the principal was precisely because of his meticulousness and meticulousness.
Dai Li's research on the principal's psychology and personality can be described as meticulous and thorough.
When the principal issues orders in the army, he always uses "warrants" to communicate and announce them. However, not only do he seldom issue orders for spy work, but he is also careful not to leave any traces to avoid telling the truth.
Dai Li had already figured out the principal's psychology, so he never used official documents and only made oral reports. He also only took notes of the principal's instructions in his head and heart without writing them down.
The principal was very satisfied with the method adopted by Dai Li, a smart student, to leave no trace.
It was precisely because of Dai Li's special talent in gathering intelligence that he finally stood out from the Huangpu Department and became the principal's confidant.
From the bottom of his heart, He Zhonghan despised Dai Li's actions, but when appointing people, he could only watch and not speak.
He Zhonghan had a bad feeling about the current matter, and was worried that Lu Ming would be impulsive and fall into the trap of the wily Dai Li.
