In the Hongkou Hotel, facing Akagi Shigeyuki's ill-intentioned question, Li Qiang simply pretended to be stupid and asked the question knowingly.
Of course Akagi Shigeyuki knew in his heart that Li Qiang was deliberately pretending to be stupid, but he did not expose it immediately. Instead, he continued to "kindly" remind him: "That's the adjutant next to me, Kobayashi Genzo."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang's expression suddenly changed, and then he stood up from his seat and asked in surprise: "Who?"
"Kobayashi Genzo." Although he was a little confused by Li Qiang's exaggerated reaction, Akagi Shigeyuki still cooperated and repeated his adjutant's name.
After a brief moment of surprise, Li Qiang suddenly came back to his senses, and then said, "Sir, wait a moment, I'll make a call!" and quickly walked towards the door.
"Jiang Qiang, you..."
When Fujita Yoshimasa saw this, he was about to speak to stop him, but was stopped by Akagi Shigeyuki's eyes, so he had to forcefully swallow back the words that were about to reach his lips.
It wasn't long before Li Qiang came back, and Fujita Yoshimasa couldn't help but ask: "Aqiang-kun, who did you call just now?"
Li Qiang didn't want to think about it, but he replied somewhat nonchalantly: "I wonder if Chief Fujita still has any impression of the Sino-French pharmacy under his humble name?"
"Of course. But when it comes to that pharmacy, the person you really want to thank is not me, but the Baron. If it hadn't been for the mediation of the Baron, that pharmacy might not have been able to get a business license even now!"
Li Qiang knew that the "Baron" mentioned by Fujita Yoshimasa was none other than Shigeyuki Akagi's brother, Chiyuki Akagi! This man was not only the special deputy director of the Police Department of the Public Settlement Bureau of Industry and Commerce, but also a senior official in Japan.
A high-ranking second-class official in the empire, ranked fourth among the four ranks, is equivalent to a "baron" in the nobility. His military rank is equivalent to that of a lieutenant general, and he can enjoy the treatment of aristocrats. Therefore, compared with the so-called third person in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, Akagi Chizuki
Usually I prefer the title "Lord Baron".
However, Li Qiang keenly noticed the flash of slight expression on Akagi Shigeyuki's face when he heard Fujita Yoshimasa mentioning his own brother. It was a kind of disdain mixed with envy and jealousy.
Li Qiang couldn't help but think to himself: It seems that the relationship between the two brothers is not as close as the rumors say!
Thinking of this, Li Qiang hurriedly said: "What Chief Fujita said is absolutely true. If there is a chance, I will definitely express my gratitude to 'Lord Baron' in person."
As he spoke, Li Qiang suddenly changed the subject, "But now that things have happened, I can't say anything. The two officers can tell you the truth. The pharmacy is just a cover. In fact, it is a low-level job in the law."
A secret stronghold set up in the concession, but when I took over the pharmacy, it was not to collect information about the concession, but..."
Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door, and then Takagi's voice rang out, "Report, there is a Chinese named Tielin outside asking to see you!"
After hearing this, Fujita Yoshimasa first glanced at Li Qiang with squinted eyes, then cleared his throat and said to Takagi outside the door: "Bring him in!"
Soon, Takagi brought people in.
What surprised Fujita Yoshimasa was that the person who followed Takagi in was not one person, but two people!
However, what confused Fujita Yoshimasa even more was that as soon as the guy walking at the end saw Akagi Shigeyuki, he immediately fell to his knees and crawled in front of him, with runny nose and excited tears.
He said: "Sir Akagi!? Is it really you? Sir Akagi..."
Akagi Shigeichi, who was already very good-looking, was furious when he saw that guy's worthless look. Then he suddenly sank his face and scolded sternly: "Asshole! Look at you now.
This looks like a disgrace to our imperial soldiers!"
After scolding, Akagi Shigeyuki turned to Li Qiang and asked: "Aqiang-kun, no matter how bad Xiaolin-kun is, he is still a soldier of the empire. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."
Li Qiang said surprisingly, "It's very simple, because I suspect that he is a member of the God of Wealth Group."
"The God of Wealth Team? How is this possible?" Akagi Shigeyuki clearly did not believe what Li Qiang said and flatly denied it.
Li Qiang just smiled and asked: "How is this impossible? Don't forget, the person who planned the assassination of Mr. Matsuoka was Major Nakai, who was usually the most trusted by Mr. Matsuoka. Their family is famous in Japan.
Didn’t the martial arts family still join the God of Wealth Group and plan and implement the plan to assassinate Mr. Matsuoka?”
"This..." As the saying goes, facts speak louder than words. In the face of the iron-clad facts, no matter how hard Akagi Shigeyuki tries to protect his shortcomings, he can't find any reason to refute. He can only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, even if
So, what basis do you have for saying that he is a member of the God of Wealth Group?"
"Well... I think it's better to let him speak for himself!" After saying that, Li Qiang turned to Xiao Lin Yuan San and said, "Xiao Lin, please answer me loudly in front of the two officers, you
Where was I caught?"
"I..." As soon as these words came out, Kobayashi Genzo was speechless for a moment. He subconsciously glanced at Shigeru Akagi and then hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
At this time, even Fujita Yoshimasa couldn't help but frown, while Akagi Shigeyuki on the side quickly coughed and said in a deep voice: "Xiaolin-kun, Aqiang-kun is asking you something, why don't you answer?"
"I...Sir Akagi..."
Li Qiang was not embarrassed when he saw this, but said to himself: "Okay, since Mr. Xiao Lin doesn't want to speak, I won't force him. To be honest, I was arresting him in the underground black market of Paramount."
When I saw him, I originally thought he was just an ordinary intelligence dealer, but I never expected that this guy turned out to be Mr. Matsuoka’s secret agent! And his purpose of going to the black market was to report the secret to Mr. Matsuoka.
The information was sold at a high price! I would like to ask you two officers, is such a bold act not worthy of suspicion?"
Before he finished speaking, Akagi Shigeyuki couldn't help but snorted and defended: "Aqiang-kun, even if he really went to the black market, we can't conclude that he is selling out information, right?"
"Yes, this alone is not enough to support the judgment of a humble position. However, not long ago, Mr. Zhou's spies placed within the military command have returned safely, and they have also brought back a lot of confidential information, including the God of Wealth Team through the black market
Pass the top secret information back to Chongqing that should be reported to Mr. Matsuoka as soon as possible!"
"How unreasonable!" As soon as he said this, Akagi Shigeyuki slammed the table and asked angrily, "Major Kobayashi, is what Aqiang-kun said the truth?"
Seeing Akagi Shigeyuki, who was so angry that he even changed his name, Kobayashi Genzo could no longer stand, his legs went weak and he knelt down, almost crying, he explained: "Sir Akagi
,You...you listen to my explanation, I..."
"That's enough!" Without waiting for Kobayashi Genzo to explain, Akagi Shigeyuki raised his hand to interrupt him and said mercilessly, "If you have anything to say, just go to the military court and say it!"
"Wait!" Before he finished speaking, Fujita Yoshimasa on the side finally couldn't help but said, "Aqiang-kun, if Major Kobayashi is Mr. Matsuoka's secret sect, you can hand him over to us directly.
But you didn't do that. Instead, you told a big lie and pretended to be a secret sect to deceive us for so long. What are your intentions?"
"Well..." Having said this, Li Qiang winked at Tielin, who immediately understood and took out a folder from his briefcase and handed it to Fujita Yoshimasa.
It was okay for Fujita Yoshimasa not to read it. When he saw the content inside, his eyes widened with pride and he said with surprise: "This... this is..."
"This is a record of all the messages exchanged between me and Mr. Matsuoka while I was pretending to be a secret sect. To be honest, I contacted Mr. Matsuoka as soon as I learned that he was a secret sect of Mr. Matsuoka. And
Everything I did after that was entirely under the instruction of Mr. Matsuoka."
As soon as these words came out, not only Fujita Yoshimasa, but even Akagi Shigeyuki on the side was completely shocked. Who would have thought that
Li Qiang, who was just a small patrol captain at the time, was able to get in touch with a big shot like Yosuke Matsuoka in Japan in such a short period of time, and gain such great trust.
I don't know how long it took before Fujita Yoshimasa finally recovered from the huge shock and tentatively said to Li Qiang: "Aqiang-kun, now that the words have been spoken, can you leave Major Kobayashi to us? You
Don’t worry, we will handle this matter impartially and will never be selfish.”
Li Qiang also nodded simply and said: "Of course, but this guy is very tough. No matter how I interrogated him, he never admitted that he was a member of the God of Wealth Team. The two officers need to work harder."
"Don't worry, if he is really a member of the God of Wealth Group, we have plenty of ways to get him to talk."
"In that case, I will wait for the good news from the two officers!"
"Easy to say! Easy to say!"
…
At the same time, in the government office, in the office in Minglou.
Ah Cheng picked up the dedicated phone on his desk and dialed a phone number, "Hello? Is this the Nanjing switchboard? Please pick me up at the Central Hotel...Central Hotel? Please help me get through to Chief Minglou Ming's room."
There was not much time, and the call was connected. However, after the call was connected, Cheng did not speak immediately. Instead, he raised his wrist and started timing. The person on the other end also cooperated very cooperatively and did not hang up the phone, but waited quietly.
Three minutes later, Minglou's voice rang from the other side of the phone, "It's almost done, let's talk!"
"I just received the news that Shigeyuki Akagi, senior advisor to the Manchurian Railway Police Department, has secretly arrived in Shanghai."
"It seems that this guy's movements are much faster than we thought! Is there any movement on the Aqiang side?"
"Just now, Fujita Yoshimasa sent someone to invite him to the Hongkou Hotel for a banquet, probably just to welcome Akagi Shigeyuki."
"I didn't expect that guy to attach great importance to A Qiang, but it's no wonder. After all, we are old acquaintances in Mantie." Speaking of this, Minglou paused for a moment, and then continued, "I'm over there with A Qiang.
Don’t worry, I believe he should be able to handle it with his abilities, but... have you got the things from your side?"
As soon as these words came out, Cheng couldn't help but subconsciously touched the watch in his pocket, and replied truthfully: "I got it! With this watch, our young master will really have a hard time arguing this time.
!”
Hearing this, Minglou opposite could not help but be silent for a moment, but soon he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Then take action!"
"now?"
"Yes, now!" At this point, Minglou took a deep breath and said word by word, "The 'death knell' has sounded!"
"Okay, I understand." After a long silence, Acheng finally said.
"By the way, where is Nightingale? How is the situation?"
"All the important clues have been thrown out. This information will lead Wang Manchun to change his target from 'Venomous Bee' to 'Venomous Scorpion', and then find out Mingtai's true identity. We are now equivalent to betraying him!
"
"Well, where are those reports? Are they ready?"
"You're ready, but brother, do you really want to do this? Isn't there a better way?"
Hearing this, Minglou couldn't help but sigh heavily, "If there was a better way, I wouldn't do this! I hope Mingtai and eldest sister can forgive me for this selfish decision by then!"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng simply calmed down the tangled emotions in his heart, and then with a determined look on his face, he left the office, walked out of the gate of the government office, and drove straight to the south of the city...
As dusk fell, Ming's Flour Factory, which had been busy all day, finally returned to peace, but the lights in the factory director's office were still bright.
In the room, Guo Qiyun was holding a mission briefing and said to Mingtai and Yu Manli who were sitting opposite: "The 'Venomous Bee' has an order, and the special 'Venomous Scorpion' team must sanction the big guns within a week.
Traitor Zhang Nixiaolin!"
As soon as these words came out, Mingtai couldn't help but frown. You must know that Zhang Xiaolin, one of the three tycoons of the Green Gang who once ran rampant in Shanghai, although his strength has been greatly reduced after the Japanese occupied Shanghai, he relied on his former prestige and reputation.
With the intimidating name of president of the "New Asia Peace Promotion Association", my life was like a fish in water, and I was very nourished.
Especially after the assassination of Ji Yunqing, the leader of the Green Gang, Zhang Xiaolin not only took over all of Ji Yunqing's original subordinates and business without any effort, but also became No. 76's only social backer, and for a time he was unparalleled.
To successfully assassinate such a powerful traitor within a week is no less difficult than the previous attack on the labor camp and rescue the prisoners of war. Is the teacher forcing himself to join forces with the Red Party again?
