Lu Ming repeatedly persuaded Ning Zetao. He believed that this matter was most likely done by the Japanese. The Japanese captured Ning Xiner to force him to return to Shanghai from Nanjing and then ambush him on the way. In addition, they wanted to investigate the arms theft case.
The whole story.
Ning Xiner was not directly involved in the arms hijacking and did not know the details at all. She could not tell anything even if she wanted to, so the Japanese could not get any valuable information from her.
Lu Ming judged based on this that the possibility of Ning Xiner being killed was extremely low. After a professional interrogation, she would definitely be released after being detained for a while.
At this moment, he thought it was best for the Japanese to kidnap Ning Xiner. If Dai Li took action, things would be in trouble.
Although the Japanese are cruel and tyrannical, Japanese agents work very professionally and professionally. All they do is complete their tasks. Other than that, they generally do not mess around.
This is of course Lu Ming's best wish, but when Ziyuan was kidnapped by the Japanese and was not tortured in any way, this also gave Lu Ming's idea a fulcrum.
Lu Ming still admires Japanese agents a little, and admires their professional skills and professionalism. He hopes that the agents he will train in the future will also be world-class spies.
Of course, Ozawa Seigoro and Yu Ying'er ambushed him on the highway, which was a bit unprofessional, but that was also because of Ozawa Seishiro, so Lu Ming could still understand.
However, he understood that he still wanted to take this tone, so he asked An Gonggen to lead an action team to keep an eye on the exits of the Japanese Concession, and take retaliatory actions as soon as the Manchurian Railway agents appeared.
In Nanjing, he was restricted by various reasons and could not move freely. When he returned to Shanghai, he was like a dragon returning to the sea, able to fly freely.
Of course, Lu Ming didn't know the secret agreement between Dai Li and Japan. The intelligence agencies of China and Japan were not allowed to carry out activities such as assassinations and kidnappings. The guns were unanimously aimed at the Communist Party of China and the Communist Party of Korea.
.
What kind of agreement is this? Even if Lu Ming knew about it, he would never abide by such rules.
What is incredible is that after returning to Shanghai, Seigoro Ozawa and Yu Ying'er actually became honest and hunkered down in the Japanese Concession.
Although Yoshiko Kawashima appeared occasionally, she always came and went without a trace, leaving An Gonggen unable to find a chance to make a move.
Lu Ming called Zhang Ziyang to ask him out because he wanted to get some information or even some doubts from him.
Zhang Ziyang searched for traces of Ning Xiner's disappearance through all the informants in the Shanghai Police Headquarters. There was already a lot of movement, but he still found nothing.
"Lu Ming, do you think Miss Ning will run away mysteriously like Miss Shanda did? Otherwise, why won't there be any signs at all?" Zhang Ziyang said with a bitter smile.
This time, the two of them were sitting in a private room in the Eight Bowls next to Wanguo Apartment, drinking wine.
There were not many guests at the Eight Big Bowls in the heavy rain. This kind of weather is more suitable for drinking old wine at home to remove dampness.
But the two of them drank beer and ate a large plate of drunken shrimp, just to relieve their boredom.
Both of them had finished lunch, and now they just wanted to drink.
"No, the situation is different. Miss Ning has absolutely no reason to run away." Lu Ming said clearly.
"It's hard to say, maybe she eloped with some man, but I remember that Miss Ning had a sweetheart at Paramount." Zhang Ziyang said.
"You mean that dance partner? That guy has disappeared a long time ago. He may have left Shanghai to go somewhere else." Lu Ming said.
In the past, Ning Xiner had a professional dancer as her dance partner at Paramount. She was just a dance partner. Before she had time to develop a personal relationship, during the ambiguous period, the man suddenly disappeared.
This kind of thing is very common in Shanghai. Shanghai is a place where people come and go. Someone will suddenly appear and someone will disappear suddenly.
"Do you insist that this thing was done by the Japanese?" Zhang Ziyang asked.
"I don't think so. In fact, it was them who did it. Otherwise, let's make a bet." Lu Ming said anxiously.
"Bet? Forget it, I never bet on a case." Zhang Ziyang said in a professional manner.
Lu Ming smiled, Zhang Ziyang didn't dare to bet with him. Ever since they were young, Zhang Ziyang always lost nine out of ten bets. Later, he simply refused to bet with Lu Ming.
Of course they don't bet money, but they lose too much and lose face.
"If this is really the case, it will be difficult to handle. As you know, there are too many ways to make a person disappear suddenly in Shanghai, and it is impossible to find out. Caobang should be aware of this kind of thing." Zhang Ziyang said sadly.
Lu Ming nodded. The Caobang's usual method was to anesthetize a person, then quietly put him in a sack, tie him with stones, and sink him into the Huangpu River to feed the fish.
Is this retribution coming?
But when it comes to retribution, it should be retribution to Ning Zetao, not Ning Xiner.
However, Ning Xiner suffered physical pain, while Ning Zetao suffered mental torture. This can be regarded as retribution.
"It's a deadlock right now, what are you going to do next?" Zhang Ziyang asked.
"I also want to kidnap one of them and create an objective reciprocal relationship. I won't take the initiative to find them. I will just wait for them to come and talk to me. Everyone exchanges the hostages tacitly and pretends that it never happened.
This matter." Lu Ming expressed his thoughts.
"This is indeed a good idea, but who should be kidnapped? You can't kidnap an unknown and hopeless person. They won't pay attention to it." Zhang Ziyang scratched his head.
"No matter what, we have to kidnap an important person to create some repercussions in society and put a certain amount of pressure on them." Lu Ming said thoughtfully.
"Do you have a goal?" Zhang Ziyang asked.
"Yes, Yoshiko Kawashima."
"Kawashima Yoshiko? Sounds familiar. Is this person important?"
Zhang Ziyang is not very familiar with Kawashima Yoshiko and has only heard a few things about her, but he cannot judge whether Kawashima Yoshiko is of sufficient importance.
"This woman was originally a princess of the Qing Dynasty. After being adopted by the Japanese, she became a traitor. My kidnapping of her has a double meaning. On the one hand, she is used as a hostage, and on the other hand, it is also a wake-up call for the traitors." Lu Ming had already known this.
A complete set of ideas.
"It's better to kidnap someone from the Japanese consulate. They can't care less, right?"
Zhang Ziyang was worried that a Chinese woman might not attract the attention of Japan, so he had a sudden idea.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said: "No, kidnapping diplomats will arouse international public opinion and have a negative impact, so we should focus on the other party's intelligence personnel."
"Well, it makes sense for you to think so. The objects we kidnap must not only be valuable, but also not cause trouble to ourselves." Zhang Ziyang smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, how is the information you mentioned about the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee of the Underground Party going?" Lu Ming suddenly remembered this matter.
It's okay that he didn't mention it. As soon as he mentioned it, Zhang Ziyang suddenly became excited and cursed: "It's not that you guys from the Fuxing Society are unethical. It was clearly the case that I discovered first, but they overran it. I also did it for
If I wait until you come back to take action, it will be too late."
"Are you saying that you first targeted Hou Liang and was later snatched away by Fuxing Society?" Lu Ming said in surprise.
"No, I didn't know about the traffic officer before, but I found out the contact point of the underground party first, as well as the hiding places of several other underground parties. As soon as your people caught Hou Liang, the grocery store and
Several other contact points were immediately closed, so I was trying to catch the moon in vain." Zhang Ziyang said unwillingly.
"That's okay. Even if you catch someone in this kind of case, you still have to hand it over to Shanghai Station. Your police station won't take over this kind of case. At most, you can only get a reward of several hundred oceans." Lu.
Ming comforted.
"I know, the reward money is secondary, the main thing is to show my face. At least it can let the Nanjing Police Headquarters know the existence of Zhang Ziyang, but in the end, it's all gone." Zhang Ziyang was so angry that he slapped his thigh.
.
The Shanghai Police Department currently has a vacant deputy inspector general's position, enjoying the treatment of deputy director. Several detectives, including Zhang Ziyang, are coveting this position.
"Then all other clues have been lost?" Lu Ming continued to ask without realizing it.
"It's all over. You've just blown the grass off and alerted the snake. The Communist Party is not a fool. It has been exposed. How can it wait for the police to catch them? They all ran away." Zhang Ziyang said angrily.
On the issue of arresting the Communist Party, the Fuxing Society still prides itself on being the boss. It does not take others seriously and is unwilling to listen to the opinions of the local police station. The main reason is that it is afraid that the police will leak the news.
