Lu Ming was not only born well, but also had no choice in terms of family background and personal appearance. The key was his good luck. Whenever he encountered a big event or even a turning point in his fate, the God of Luck would patronize him.
In the midst of anxiety, An Gonggen called, and Lu Ming looked at the time and it was only half past eight in the morning.
"Master Lu, we succeeded, two fish were caught in the net."
"Are they all live fish?" Lu Ming asked hurriedly.
"He was jumping around so much. He got hooked and tried to break free. How could it be that easy? He was subdued in just a few clicks." An Gonggen said proudly.
"Okay, transfer them immediately. Don't let them escape. We will interrogate them when we get there. We must get their confessions," Lu Ming said.
"Don't worry, we are already on the way. I stopped and called you halfway." An Gonggen said.
"Okay, let's contact you after we get to the safe place." Lu Ming ordered.
After putting down the phone, Lu Ming felt relieved for a while. He finally got back the game and was a big step closer to rescuing Ning Xiner.
"What's the good news?" Liu Qiwen didn't understand what was going on, but she understood a little bit when she saw Lu Ming's face.
"Good news, great news." Lu Ming almost jumped up.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Ming came in shouting, and Dai Li hurriedly walked in and said: "Sir Lu, the Japanese just said that two of their nationals were kidnapped and asked us to help find them."
"There's no need to look for him. Tell them that I captured him." Lu Ming said calmly.
"Ah, you, this is..."
"It's nothing, this is that, yes, these two people are not ordinary Japanese expatriates, they are the important criminals who kidnapped Ning Xiner." Lu Ming said with a cold face.
"Sir Lu, how can you be so sure that there won't be any misunderstanding?" Dai Li's heart suddenly tightened.
"Yunong, of course I won't arrest Japanese people randomly. This is not a child's play. I won't do it without real evidence. If you don't believe me, you can ask them what these two people do.
" Lu Ming said.
"Then... what evidence do you have?"
"Hey, of course there is irrefutable proof." Lu Ming turned his wrist and said calmly.
Lu Ming asked the anxious Dai Li to sit down, and then told him about Yu Ying'er, an agent from Manchuria, and two people from the Black Dragon Society who went to Paramount to apply for jobs.
"Do you think this is evidence? Especially Yu Ying'er, the dignified leader of the Manchuria Railway Action Team, actually went to Paramount to apply for an ordinary staff position a week before Ning Xiner disappeared. Is this normal?"
Lu Ming stared into Dai Li's eyes and said.
"Oh, there's another matter. We should check it carefully. Why did she apply for the job?" Dai Li said a little embarrassed.
"The key is that Ning Xiner left Paramount the day after she disappeared without saying goodbye. The other three Japanese also went to Paramount ten days before Ning Xiner disappeared.
Those who applied for the job left one after another within a week after Ning Xiner disappeared," Lu Ming said.
"This is indeed a serious suspicion, but strictly speaking, this can only be regarded as indirect evidence." Dai Li said.
Dai Li said things he didn't mean, but he kept complaining in his heart. In fact, he didn't know that Yu Ying'er and others went to Paramount to apply for jobs. If he had known, he would have made a more thorough plan for them.
When Dai Li cooperated with the Japanese, he only entrusted the kidnapping of Ning Xiner to the Manchurian Railway Action Group. He didn't want to ask what the Japanese would do, because he was afraid of getting into trouble.
Even so, he was still worried. On the day of the operation, he paid special attention to his men to help clear away any traces that might be left at the scene.
"Of course it's indirect evidence, but it's also evidence, right? It's easy to get direct evidence. I'll treat them the same way I treated them. I can also kidnap them. Wait until I get the confessions from them. That's it.
It’s irrefutable.” Lu Ming said decisively.
Dai Li was in a state of confusion for a moment. He had just received a call from the Japanese military attache, saying that two Japanese expatriates were publicly kidnapped on the street.
Dai Li's intuition was that this matter was most likely related to Lu Ming, but he didn't expect that he actually kidnapped these two people.
Dai Li really wanted to spit on the ground, the Japanese are such idiots!
The Japanese are really too arrogant. First, they think that others cannot find out what they do. Second, they think that the Chinese police would not dare to take action against them without irrefutable evidence.
But don’t you know who you kidnapped? Shouldn’t those who are direct action personnel like this first return to Japan to avoid the limelight? How dare you wander around on the streets casually?
"Then I'll hold off the Japanese first, don't rush to answer them, and then contact them after getting a confession?" Dai Li asked.
"No, Chief Dai, this is not a lie. I want to be real with them. You can reply directly to them. I am the one who captured the person. At the same time, tell them to put Ning Xiner back immediately and I will not pursue this case.
If the matter is over, we can turn it into a big thing and make it into a small thing." Lu Ming said.
"Okay." Dai Li couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and left.
He walked to the door, suddenly stopped and said: "Sir Lu, since you have caught the person, it is best to bring him back to our place for detention. The Japanese dare not break in and rob the person. If it is in an unsafe place, they may
Steal people.”
"Don't worry, he has been imprisoned in a place where the Japanese can't find him." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good." Dai Li walked away in a daze.
That morning, people from the Japanese Manchurian Railway, people from the Black Dragon Society, and the Japanese military police ran around everywhere, trying to find clues about the missing persons, but unfortunately they couldn't even find their shadows. It wasn't until noon that they were notified and all of them withdrew.
After they returned, they found out that the person was taken away by the Shanghai Station of the Fuxing Society.
Although this was Lu Ming's personal behavior, the outside world did not see it that way. Lu Ming represented the Fuxing Society, so the debt naturally fell on the Fuxing Society.
At noon, the Consul General and Military Attache of the Japanese Consulate arrived at the Fuxingshe Building. Dai Li and Lu Ming greeted them at the door. In any case, etiquette should be followed, and they were informed before arriving.
The two Japanese got out of the car with serious expressions, but they did not lose their minds and maintained basic etiquette.
Dai Li and Lu Ming invited the consul general and military attache to sit down in the conference room, and were given tea and cigarettes.
"Mr. Dai, Mr. Lu, what authority do you have to arrest our overseas Chinese? I have lodged a serious protest with your Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked you to release them immediately and unconditionally," the Consul General said forcefully.
"Mr. Consul General, Changgui Yingzi and Kawaki Rin are not ordinary Japanese expatriates, but important criminals who kidnapped our citizen Ning Xiner. We have legal basis for arresting him." Lu Ming also said in a tough tone.
"What evidence do you have? Please show it to me." The military attaché stood up and asked.
"Of course we have evidence, and it is ironclad evidence. However, as the criminals have not all been arrested, the evidence is still confidential and cannot be made public. I'm sorry, but I need you to wait patiently." Lu Ming also stood up and looked directly at him.
The military attache got angry.
Dai Li and the Japanese Consul General looked at each other, and each pulled the person on their side to sit down again.
"Then hand over the people and evidence to us and let our Japanese court try them. Please believe us, if they really committed a crime, our court will not sentence them lightly," the Consul General said.
"The crimes they committed on the ground in China must of course be tried by Chinese courts. This is China's sovereignty." Lu Ming did not give in at all.
"Mr. Lu, this is a very bad diplomatic incident that is likely to affect the normal relations between China and Japan. I hope you can think about it and Nanjing will teach you how to do it," the Consul General said.
"Normal relations between the two countries? Ever since the Kwantung Army forcibly occupied Northeast China and Inner Mongolia, causing the fall of our land, there has been no normal relations between our two countries since then. If your country still hopes to have normal relations between China and Japan, then first
Return the sovereignty of Northeast China and Inner Mongolia to us." Lu Ming said loudly.
The Consul General and Military Attaché opened their mouths, not knowing what to say for a moment. Lu Ming's punch hit their weak spots.
Since the Kwantung Army launched the September 18th Incident, China and Japan have been in a state of war. However, China was too weak to launch a direct attack, and the Japanese did not expand the war for various reasons.
Although China and Japan maintain a superficial state of peace, in fact the countdown to the outbreak of all-out war has begun.
