Lu Ming drank beer, chewed the peanuts in his mouth, and was silent.
"This matter is a bit strange, Detective Lu, what do you think about it? Do you have any idea?" Zhang Ziyang asked.
"Judging from the current situation, most of them were done by the Japanese. The problem is that we don't have any evidence. If we want to negotiate with the Japanese, we must first confirm that it was them." Lu Ming put down the peanuts in his hands and said.
"That's right. It's baseless. What you tell others will definitely not be acknowledged by the Japanese," Zhang Ziyang said.
"How about we also kidnap a few Japanese, preferably the sons or daughters of important Japanese people, and see what they do?" Lu Ming suddenly said this.
"Hey, when did you become so nasty? If you want to tie someone up, it's an important figure in Japan. Why would you tie up someone else's son or daughter?" Zhang Ziyang teased.
"You don't understand. For the Japanese, there is no one they cannot abandon. Even if you tie up the Consul General of the Japanese Consulate, they may not care. But if something happens to the son or daughter of an important person, it will be different.
Well, you have to use gangster methods to deal with gangsters, and gentleman methods will not have any effect." Lu Ming said in annoyance.
"There are no such partners in Shanghai for the children of important figures in Japan?" Zhang Ziyang said with a frown.
"That's what I said. It's just an idea, and I may not necessarily use this trick. In addition, I have to find ways to continue to investigate the situation. It is best to find evidence, so that we can fundamentally change from being passive to being proactive." Lu Ming said.
"Well, it seems that this is the only way it can be. I hope Miss Ning will be auspicious and won't suffer much." Zhang Ziyang tilted his neck and drank half a glass of beer.
"Are you busy lately? There's nothing important on your hands, right?" Lu Ming asked.
"I'm busy, but it's just messy things that can be pushed aside." Zhang Ziyang poured himself a glass of beer.
"Well, you go back and file a case on Miss Ning's disappearance, and I will file a case at the Fuxing Society, and then we will jointly handle the case."
Lu Ming believes that it is more appropriate to handle this case in the name of official business. Since we have this power, why not use it? No matter where we go, those who handle cases are always confident.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Zhang Ziyang readily agreed. This was also a good thing for him. Once the case was filed, he could openly investigate the case and use the police. This is the responsibility of the police department.
The two of them drank until the evening, and then Lu Ming went upstairs to find Liu Qiwen for dinner. By the way, he called Sheng Youde and agreed to report the situation in the evening.
After dinner, Lu Ming drove to Liuyuan and came to Sheng Youde's office. Sheng Muyi was also waiting for him.
The most well-informed person in Shanghai is of course Du Yuesheng, but that is a big matter. When it comes to small matters, Du Yuesheng cannot compare to Sheng Youde.
The stores of Sheng's Industry are located in every corner of Shanghai. As long as Sheng Youde wants to inquire about it, no hint of the matter will escape his ears.
Lu Ming told the story of Ning Xiner's disappearance, also wanting to hear Sheng Youde's opinion or see if he could get any information from him.
Sheng Youde apologized and told Lu Ming that he knew about this matter, but he didn't know the details and didn't deliberately inquire about it.
"I'm not God, and I can't be omniscient or omnipotent, but I feel that there is someone behind this matter, and the person behind it is not good. You must be careful." Sheng Youde thought deeply.
"I heard that the Japanese attacked you on your way back? Are you okay?" Sheng Muyi asked impatiently.
"Well, Ozawa Seigoro of Mantetsu led his men to ambush me. The situation was very critical at the time, but luckily I was fooled into leaving." Lu Ming said.
"Ozawa Seigoro? Is he Seishiro's younger brother?" Sheng Youde pondered.
"Yes, Shiro was imprisoned by me for more than half a year. After he was released, he committed suicide. Now his brother comes to me and wants to avenge his brother." Lu Ming said.
"He was deceived by you. Is it such a simple thing?" Sheng Youde asked puzzledly.
"Didn't I have a classmate in the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, Muto, who is now a general, so I used a banner as a tiger skin to scare him away." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"I have told the Japanese headquarters of Manchuria Railway several times to ask them to prohibit their subordinates from misbehaving. Where does Ozawa have the courage to violate the ban at the highest level of Manchurian Railway?" Sheng Youde couldn't help but said angrily.
"Maybe he thought he was from the General Staff Headquarters and was superior to others. He didn't care about Manchuria's ban. But when he heard that my classmate Muto was working at the top of the General Staff Headquarters, he suddenly backed down. Maybe he was afraid." Lu Ming guessed.
"Well, that should be it, otherwise how could he let go. He will definitely confirm your identity with Muto before making the next step." Sheng Youde nodded.
"Old man, can you contact the senior management of the Japanese Manchurian Railway Headquarters and force Ozawa to release him first? I guess Ning Xiner was kidnapped by them," Lu Ming said.
"It is not impossible to force them to release the person, but if you have evidence that the person is in their hands, I will send a telegram to them immediately," Sheng Youde said.
"I have evidence that they ambushed me and killed two of my brothers. I don't have to pursue this matter, but Miss Ning must put back every hair she has." Lu Ming said.
"I have to ask them to give me an explanation for your ambush. Why did they change their plans? I also have to warn them that such a thing will never happen again. I can only ask you a question about Miss Ning's disappearance.
Q. "Sheng Youde has always been very rigorous in his work.
When Lu Ming heard what Sheng Youde said, he couldn't say anything else, so he had to wait until he sent the telegram to see what happened.
Lu Ming then asked about the anti-short selling of Sheng's stocks.
Speaking of this, Sheng Youde smiled and raised his chin, meaning that he had to ask Sheng Muyi.
Sheng Muyi took over the conversation, opened up the chat box, and started talking eloquently. By the end of the sentence, she was so excited.
This counter-short sell was directed by Sheng Muyi personally, and Sheng Youde was just her backer. This counter-short sell was carried out very beautifully. The Japanese consortium lost miserably, and several small banks in China went bankrupt. Only a few banks in Europe and the United States went bankrupt.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the consortium exited the market early and suffered relatively small losses.
"We easily made millions from this battle, and this is still in the domestic financial market." Sheng Muyi said with a smile.
"What about adding it all up?" Lu Ming asked.
Sheng Muyi smiled and pointed at Sheng Youde and said, "Then only father knows."
Sheng Youde turned his palms and said with a smile: "You don't need to ask about this. In the past half month, I have made back almost half of the money I lent to Chiang Kai-shek. If they want to give it to me, I can only accept it."
Lu Ming opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it.
He didn't know how much wealth the Sheng family had originally, but it was even more unimaginable now.
The Sheng family's financial empire has reached another level, which means that Sheng Youde's backing has become stronger, and it is no longer a problem for him to make minor mistakes that are not painful or itchy.
When Lu Ming thought of this, he felt happy. He was not happy about the increase in asset value, but happy about having greater freedom.
Being a monster or something gives you more confidence.
Lu Ming said goodbye to Sheng Youde and came out, but Sheng Muyi had to see him off.
Walking to the gate of Liuyuan, Lu Ming asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"
"Tell me when I get in your car?" Sheng Muyi looked around and asked.
The two got into Lu Ming's car, and then Mu Yi asked: "How is the Communist Party you arrested doing now?"
Lu Ming looked at Mu Yi's beautiful face in the dim light of the car and asked, "Mu Yi, tell me the truth, are you one of theirs?"
"No, really not. I wanted to participate, but they don't want me." To Lu Ming, Sheng Muyi didn't want to lie anymore, she would tell him sooner or later.
"Sister, let me beg you. If you sympathize with the Communist Party and want to help them do something, I have no objection, but you must not join the Communist Party. This is the bottom line, do you understand?"
"When are you going to teach me a lesson? Do you want to rebel?" Sheng Muyi got angry and grabbed Lu Ming's ear.
"Sister, please be gentle, your ears are about to fall off." Lu Ming repeatedly cried out in pain.
"Humph, let's see if you still dare." Sheng Muyi let go of her hand and said what she meant.
"No, what I said is true. This is a matter of principle. Like last time we helped the Lao Communist Party transport some food and so on, it was fine, but we absolutely cannot join their organization. This is a line that cannot be crossed. Once crossed,
If you go over, you can't go back." Lu Ming said anxiously.
"Don't worry about me. I wanted to join them for a while, and I applied. They ignored me, so they probably don't believe me. But I think they are doing serious things, so I should support them." Sheng Muyi said seriously.
"Then you are asking about the Communist Party now because they are looking for you?" Lu Ming asked.
"Yes, their people came to me and asked me to help find out the news. You don't know, when I went to Hong Kong alone, I almost fell into the hands of the Japanese. It was the Communists who saved me.
, I just want to repay their kindness now." Sheng Muyi explained.
