Hosokawa Akiyasu took the long telegram sent by Tomio Arai and read it carefully several times.
After reading it for the last time, he put down the message with melancholy on his face.
"Here, prepare the car."
Hosokawa Akiyasu shouted, and soon he arrived at a cemetery, which was the cemetery of Hosokawa Tomotaka's mother.
He really liked this woman, and loved Tomotaka Hosokawa very much, but who asked him to marry a royal woman? His wife was jealous and could only keep them outside.
He understood that Ji Hyo had not forgiven him and was unwilling to return to the country.
Fortunately, he knew that Hosokawa Tomotaka was currently safe, as long as he lived a good life. He owed this mother and son a lot over the years.
In Shanghai, Chu Lingyun returned to the Japanese Concession in the morning and met several friends he had met before.
In fact, his relationship with these people is not that close. He only got along with them briefly before, and they haven't seen each other for such a long time. There is no danger of being a gangster in front of them.
In the afternoon, he went to Ruibing Company.
The office building of Ruibing Company is in a seven-story building, three of which belong to them.
This scale is not small in the public concession.
The arrival of Hosokawa Tomotaka made the general manager Yamato Keisuke very happy. Now many people know that Konoe Hosokawa is a family member. The young master of the Hosokawa family, Hosokawa Tomotaka, came to their company in person and expressed this attitude.
Yamato Keisuke kept introducing the company, and Chu Lingyun listened attentively.
Ruibing Company has a wide range of business, not only purchasing a lot of European goods, but also selling many Japanese products.
"This is our warehouse. It is very large and contains a lot of good things. If there is a war, this place can be turned into a logistics place for the imperial warriors at any time."
Over in the warehouse, Yamato Keisuke said proudly.
There are no outsiders here, and he dares to say anything. The old man still has illusions about war, thinking that Japan will not go to war with China, or will not start a war so early.
But many people at the top level in Japan understand that China and Japan will definitely have a war.
It's just that how to start a war has not yet been unified.
Some people insist on completely digesting the three eastern provinces and then slowly swallowing up the entire China, just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty did in the past, thereby completely occupying this vast land of China and providing more resources to Japan.
There is also a group of people who are eager for quick success and instant benefits, and believe that China is very weak and can be defeated at once. Although there are two voices in Japan, the goals are the same.
That is to fully occupy China.
"You did a very good job."
Chu Lingyun said with a smile, but secretly felt cold in his heart. These Japanese people are determined to destroy China and have been prepared for it for a long time.
"This warehouse stores..."
"This warehouse is for medicines. There are all kinds of medicines that are currently in short supply."
Yamato Keisuke introduced it proudly, while Chu Lingyun secretly took note of every place here, especially the place where medicines are stored, and the style of Ah Diping's outer packaging box.
Their warehouse is in a remote location, but it is built by the river, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is guarded by twenty guards and a machine gun.
If you are a petty thief, you will never dare to come here.
The protection is very strict. If ordinary people want to build a warehouse, it is impossible.
Before coming here, Chu Lingyun had thought that Ruibing Company would never be able to sell it in a normal commercial purchase, even if he used Hosokawa Tomotaka's identity as a middleman.
These are said to be the company's things, but in fact they are reserves for the war.
Since it is a reserve, it is naturally impossible to sell it.
If they don't want to sell it, then they will use other methods to obtain it. The location of the warehouse is very remote, but it is a favorable condition. If thieves don't dare to attack here, it doesn't mean that Chu Lingyun doesn't.
Twenty guards is a lot, but as long as you understand their location and patterns, it is not difficult to deal with them.
The hard part is how to evacuate quickly after you have succeeded.
"Thank you, Mr. Yamato. Your company has done a great job."
After the visit, after taking down all the necessary details, Chu Lingyun said with a smile, Yamato Keisuke was very happy to be praised: "Two days later, a shipment from the German Combat Company will arrive at the port, containing a large amount of medicines we purchased, and our reserves
It will become more abundant."
Yamato Keisuke is showing off, these are his achievements.
Chu Lingyun was moved in her heart and said deliberately: "Mr. Yamato, you are really great, but there are so many expensive drugs, no one wants to take them?"
"Why don't we have it? The Chinese want it, but Combau will not give it to them. This is our product."
Yamato Keisuke was very proud. He knew that a disease had appeared in southern China and was in urgent need of this batch of medicine. The Chinese approached him, but he refused.
The more Chinese people die, the better, which can reduce the resistance of the empire to occupying China.
"Then you must pay attention."
Chu Lingyun said with a smile. Yamato Keisuke never thought that the person in front of him was a fake, and continued: "Of course, I will send ten guards to pick up the goods to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Ten guards?
There are only four guards in the Ruibing Company building. If ten people are to be dispatched, they must be mobilized from the warehouse. In this case, two nights later, there will be only ten guards left in the warehouse.
This is very useful information and a very good opportunity.
Back at the hotel, Chu Lingyun entered the room alone and mapped out the topography of the warehouse, marking the locations of guard patrols and light and dark sentries.
After finishing the painting, I read it several times, then tore the paper into pieces, soaked it in water and turned it into a paste, and flushed it into the sewer.
He couldn't keep this piece of paper, just keep it in his mind.
"Master, your Excellency has sent a telegram, hoping you can come home."
Not long after returning, Tomio Arai came to the room again and tried his best to persuade me.
Chu Lingyun's face instantly drooped, and he said lightly: "I'm living a good life without him."
This is a normal behavior for Hosokawa Tomotaka, not only now but also in the past.
He had resentment towards his father in his heart, otherwise he would not have left Japan after his mother passed away and came to China alone.
Tomio Arai was not surprised: "I understand, but China is too dangerous. War may break out at any time in the future, and Miss Hezi does not want you to be in danger."
Hezi is the name of Hosokawa Tomotaka's mother. When Tomio Arai said it, Chu Lingyun immediately became angry.
"I know China very well and there is no danger. Uncle Arai, I hope you won't say anything like this again in the future."
Chu Lingyun's tone was cold, and Tomio Arai could no longer persuade him, so he sighed and left.
The only person in the family who can communicate normally with the young master is Mizuo Nakano, but unfortunately he has passed away.
The young master still has the same temperament as before and does not want to recognize his father.
After Tomio Arai left, Chu Lingyun immediately returned to the room, picked up the paper, and wrote a message in Japanese.
He received Tomotaka Hosokawa's memory and used Tomotaka Hosokawa's handwriting.
If someone takes it for appraisal, don't expect to find out it's fake.
Tomio Arai's persuasion just now gave him the opportunity to leave.
Hosokawa Tomotaka's rebellious character gave Chu Lingyun great convenience. Even if he left secretly, these people would not suspect him. They only thought that he still had not forgiven his father and was running away for fear of being forcibly sent back to the country.
"Master, Master?"
In the afternoon, Arai Tomio knocked on Chu Lingyun's door. When there was no response, he suddenly felt bad and asked the hotel staff to open the door. There was no sign of Hosokawa Tomotaka inside.
There was only one letter left on the table, and Tomio Arai immediately picked it up and read it.
"The young master didn't want to return to China, so he ran away again."
Tomio Arai looked helpless. The letter was written to him, thanking him for taking care of him, and saying that he did not want to go back now and was only willing to stay in China.
The young master he had just found disappeared again, and Tomio Arai didn't know how to explain it to Lord Hosokawa.
Fortunately, the young master is safe, but he is ill and his voice has become hoarse.
After leaving the public concession, Chu Lingyun immediately found a deserted place to change her appearance and returned to the hotel that was first opened.
Not long after, he appeared in his company with great swagger.
The company has a radio station and the phone is not safe. He wants to use the radio to tell Chen Mutu about the situation and ask him to send someone over.
"Section Chief, why are you here?"
Loach, who was notified at the same time, immediately came to see Chu Lingyun.
"How's the check going?"
Chu Lingyun asked, and Loach immediately replied: "I found some. Ruibing Company has a large warehouse. They store a lot of things there, but the warehouse is very strictly guarded. I found a porter who had entered the warehouse.
, and asked him to draw a map of the situation in the warehouse. Unfortunately, he was not allowed to move around when moving things. He had to leave after unloading the goods. There is no complete topographic map of the warehouse yet. "
After Ni Loach arrived in Shanghai, he received a new order from Chu Lingyun, asking him to find out where Ah Diping from Ruibing Company was placed.
Ah Diping is a medicine, and Ruibing Company has a large quantity of it, so it must be kept in the warehouse.
He focused his investigation on Ruibing Company's warehouse. His time was limited and not much could be found.
Even so, Loach has done a good job by finding out so many in such a short period of time.
"Very good. The investigation of the warehouse is suspended. I will find someone to do it. You should go and find out who are the desperadoes in Shanghai right away. People who dare to fight for money and dare to do things."
Chu Lingyun ordered that the medicines were in the warehouse, and the German goods would arrive tomorrow night, including the warehouse and German goods. Chu Lingyun planned to swallow them all.
Leave it to the Japanese, and then it will be the Japanese who will be saved by these medicines.
But he can't do this kind of thing. Once caught alive by the enemy, they will cause a lot of trouble.
They can't do it, but there are people who can, and that's the gangster disciples.
As long as people dare to fight for money, like Tianjin's Black Knife, they even dare to kill people from the Military Intelligence Department for money.
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. As long as you pay enough, it is not difficult to find such a man in Shanghai.
"yes."
Loach took the order and left, while Chu Lingyun drew another picture. This time the picture did not need to be burned.
"Mr. Thomas, thank you for taking care of me last time."
In the office of the Director of the Police Division of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, Chu Lingyun sat in front of Thomas and said with a smile.
He was talking about Xi'an. Thomas helped to say hello at that time. The American consul in Xi'an took good care of Chu Lingyun.
At that time, Chu Lingyun was actually free, but there were not many places he could go, but there was absolutely no problem if he wanted to leave.
So after Virgo comes out, I will ask him why he didn't leave when he had the chance.
Knowing the result and knowing that there is no danger, it would be foolish for Chu Lingyun to leave.
"Mr. Chu, we are friends."
Thomas smiled and said that last time Chu Lingyun gave him more money and gave him so much, all he did was just a little effort.
He liked this kind of thing very much, and wished that Chu Lingyun would encounter this kind of situation more times.
"I hope the patrol room will be quiet tomorrow night."
Chu Lingyun took out an envelope, and Thomas' eyes suddenly lit up.
Just by touching the thickness of the envelope, he knew it contained at least five thousand dollars.
"Don't worry, it will be quiet tomorrow night."
After getting rid of Thomas, the next step is to take action. They are not the ones grabbing the goods, but they must receive the goods. Chen Mutu needs this goods urgently. Chen Shouquan will arrive with people tonight, and Chu Lingyun will prepare vehicles for them in advance.
It's not difficult to find a car. Chen Shouquan brought a lot of people, some of whom were drivers, so he could drive away.
As long as they run out, the Japanese can do nothing even if they know that their belongings have been robbed.
"Section Chief, I found someone. Several groups are willing to do it. I selected two groups, one group has more than 30 people, and the other group has more than 20 people. But they offer a high price."
Before Chen Shouquan arrived, Loach came back first.
"Money is not an issue, as long as they dare to do it."
Chu Lingyun waved his hand. He would advance the money first and then go back to Chen Mutu for reimbursement. Chen Mutu had made a lot of money using sulfa during this period, so he was not short of money.
What's more, A'Deping is not cheap, and the goods stolen are of high value.
"It's 50,000 yuan in total. We need to give them a deposit of 20,000 yuan first. They don't want legal currency, they just want gold bars or oceans."
Loach said, fifty thousand yuan is indeed a lot. These desperadoes know what they are doing and the price they charge is very high.
"Promise them."
Chu Lingyun nodded and not only gave them money, but also gave them sufficient weapons. There was only one requirement: grab what they needed as soon as possible and send it to the designated place.
Fifty thousand oceans is not enough for normal purchases.
If you can really grab it, it will help Chen Tumu save money.
"Okay, I'll get back to them right away."
Ni Loach left in a hurry. Chen Shouquan came to Shanghai in the evening and received a message from Chu Lingyun. Chen Mutu was overjoyed. He found the right one to find Chu Lingyun and found a solution so quickly.
Now he wants people to give people and money to give money.
Chen Shouquan brought Chen Mutu's guard company with him, as well as sufficient weapons and equipment, including grenades, machine guns, and even mortars.
"Why bring a cannon? You can't use it?"
Seeing the weapons and equipment they brought, Chu Lingyun's eyes widened, and he thought they were coming to fight.
"Didn't you say that after you find out where the medicine is, let us grab it? Wouldn't it be easier if you have the cannon?"
Chen Shouquan asked in confusion, and Chu Lingyun shook his head helplessly: "I hired people to grab the medicine. You don't need to go there. You are only responsible for receiving the goods. But since you brought them, you will put them away later."
The people on the underworld have very dark hearts. If they know the value of the things being robbed, they may increase the price temporarily, and mortars can come in handy.
With the guns around, these gangsters dare not make any move.
"Did you hire someone? Who?"
Chen Shouquan asked in confusion. He thought he was going to rob it himself.
"A group of hired desperadoes are more suitable to come forward. Even if they are caught, it doesn't matter. The Japanese will not be able to blame us."
Chu Lingyun explained with a smile that there is no absolute safety in operations, and Chen Mutu's people must not fall into the hands of the Japanese.
Spending a little more money and hiring someone to do it can greatly reduce their risks.
