The next day, the bandit suppression headquarters.
"Knock knock knock..."
"Come in!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang opened the door and walked in. He respectfully said to Longchuan Feiyuan who was sitting behind the desk: "Ming Qiang, the new secretary of the Secretariat of the Confidential Division, reports to Director Longchuan."
Long Chuan Fei Principle was stunned at first, and then replied with a half-smile: "Chief Ming, so many days have passed and you haven't appeared in public. I thought you didn't dare to come back!"
"Why not?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will convict you of being a member of the Red Party?"
"Director Longchuan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything random! You want to convict me? Yes, where is the evidence?"
"Li Ningyu is still alive, this is proof!"
"Director Longchuan, if I remember correctly, you said personally in Qiuzhuang that Li Ningyu had committed suicide out of fear of crime, and you also left a farewell letter to Captain Gu. Now you say that Li Ningyu is not dead. How on earth can you say that Li Ningyu is not dead?
Is the sentence true?"
"You!" Longchuan Feiyuan was stunned by Li Qiang and was speechless for a while. After a long while, he suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you want?"
"It's very simple. Help me get three ferry tickets to the United States."
"Do you think I will agree?" Ryukawa Hihara said every word with a gloomy face.
"Then it depends on Director Longchuan whether you want Qiuzhuang's treasure."
As soon as these words came out, Ryukawa Hihara immediately became energetic and quickly asked: "What do you mean by this?"
"To tell you the truth, what Colonel Kuroto was robbed was just some food and supplies. The real treasure has already been packaged by me. If you agree to my conditions, I will tell you where the real treasure is.
How about it?"
"How do I know if what you say is true or false?"
"Even if the treasure is fake, you have nothing to lose, right? But if the Marquis of the Eagle's Nest knows that you not only failed to complete the task he assigned you, but also exposed your true intentions, I don't think it will only be you.
, even your son Zhengnan, who is fostered in his home, will probably be implicated, right?"
"You!" Longchuan Feiyuan's pupils shrank suddenly after hearing this, and when he looked at Li Qiang again, his eyes were full of fear, "What day is the ticket?"
"Of course the sooner the better!"
"Okay, wait for my news."
I have to say that Ryukawa Hihara was very efficient in handling matters. It only took half a day to get the ferry tickets.
"Here! Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, we will be at the Shanghai Customs Terminal. We will not wait if you are late!" As soon as Li Qiang entered the office, Longchuan Feihara gave him three ferry tickets and said angrily, "You can tell me now
, where did you hide the treasure?"
Li Qiang simply took out the key to the safe from his arms and handed it to Longchuan Feiyuan.
"So simple? Aren't you afraid that I will regret it?"
"I think people like Director Longchuan wouldn't do such stupid things, right? But I still want to remind you, don't do stupid things, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."
"What, are you threatening me?"
"It's not a threat, just a piece of advice." After saying that, Li Qiang turned around and left the office.
However, as soon as he left, Ryukawa Hihara chuckled, grabbed the key and threw it into the fire of the fireplace...
After getting off work, Ryukawa Hihara left the headquarters and immediately came to Tetsuo Washio's temporary residence without stopping to report on his latest investigation progress.
"... The syringe left in the car was tested to contain morphine, so the student speculated that the driver should be a drug addict. He became addicted to drugs while driving, so he injected himself with morphine while driving and accidentally hit the car.
I got into the teacher's car, but I did a great thing."
"Hmm..." After hearing this, Tetsuo Washo thought for a moment, and then asked, "That's it?"
"Teacher, the clues left by the driver are very limited. It will take time to find out his identity."
"Ryuukawa-kun, it's really difficult for you to investigate the case clearly in such a short period of time." At this point, Tetsuo Washio suddenly changed the subject, "But I don't know why, I suddenly thought of you.
My father is a talented Noh drama master. Whether he is a goddess or a prostitute, he plays the role so vividly, both physically and spiritually. By the way, how is your investigation of the Qiuzhuang treasure?"
"This...students have sent extra manpower to investigate, but they are still..."
Just as he was speaking, Ryukawa Hihara's words were interrupted by a sudden phone ringing.
Washio Tetsuo first made a silent gesture to Ryukawa Hibara, and then walked to the phone and picked up the receiver.
"Hello? It's me, Washo Tetsuo... Oh, it's Mr. Gu! Is there something wrong... Ah, that's so exciting... Okay, please!"
After hanging up the phone, Washio Tetsuo couldn't help but mutter to himself: "He is indeed a shipping king! Once there is a profit, he can move faster than American ships!"
After hearing this, Longchuan Feiyuan quickly interjected: "So, Gu Minzhang has found Guzhou?"
"He only found out about the financial anomalies of a few senior officials of the Nanjing government. Whether it is related to Gu Zhou is up to me to judge, but the meeting place he proposed is very interesting."
"Where?" Ryukawa Hihara asked subconsciously.
Jiuchao Tefu smiled mysteriously, "A place you are very familiar with, Qiuzhuang! Remember, don't be late at eight o'clock in the evening!"
"Yes, I understand, teacher."
As night fell, Longchuan Feiyuan was able to arrive at Qiuzhuang by car before the appointed time. Although the fire some time ago had burned the entire Qiuzhuang beyond recognition, the two main buildings, which were mirror images of each other, still held on tenaciously.
Standing in the middle of Qiuzhuang, it seems to be silently accusing something.
As soon as he got off the car, Ryukawa Hihara frowned, pointed at the door of the east building and asked the guard standing at the door: "What's going on? Who broke the seal on the door?"
The guard quickly stood at attention and replied: "The Marquis arrived an hour ago."
After hearing this, Ryukawa Hihara immediately lowered his head and glanced at his watch. After repeatedly confirming that he was not late, he continued to ask: "An hour ago?"
"Yes!"
After receiving a positive reply from the guard, Ryukawa Hihara's heart suddenly "thumped", and then he had an inexplicable bad premonition.
But even so, Longchuan Feiyuan could only push the door open and walk in.
However, just as he walked into the east building hall, he saw a scene that was extremely familiar to him. The same environment layout, the same piano music, the same people talking and laughing with each other. In a trance, Jin Shenghuo and Bai Xiaonian actually
It was as if they had come to life, standing vividly in front of him one by one.
"Colonel, you're late!" Just when Longchuan Feiyuan could no longer distinguish between illusion and reality, Gu Xiaomeng's words suddenly brought him back to reality, and then he saw clearly the people sitting at the dining table.
Where are Jin Shenghuo, Bai Xiaonian and the others, they are clearly Jiuchao Tiefu, Gu Minzhang, Commander Zhang and Gu Xiaomeng!
Although he was a little surprised, Ryukawa Hihara quickly returned to normal. He bowed and saluted Gushiro Tetsuo and said, "Teacher, the student is late, please forgive me. But the notice I received was indeed at eight o'clock.
See you soon."
Washo Tetsuo smiled and said, "Haha, don't blame others, I delayed the time by an hour on purpose."
"I see... But teacher, today we are here to summarize and investigate Dai Li's spies Guzhou. With such a large number of people, students are worried that secrets will be leaked!"
"Ryuukawa-kun! You are still worrying too much like you were ten years ago." Tetsuo Washo said in a deep voice, "If everyone here is the subject of the investigation, the secret will not be leaked. Sit down!"
"Oh?" Ryukawa Hihara immediately became energetic after hearing this, "It seems that there will be another Qiuzhuang ghost hunt tonight! It's a pity that there are a few fewer people than that night."
However, before he finished speaking, a magnetic voice rang out, "Don't worry, Director Longchuan, since Qiuzhuang is here to catch ghosts, no one will be missing!"
After saying that, the man stopped playing the piano and walked slowly to the table and sat down.
When he saw that person, Longchuan Feiyuan was startled for a moment, but soon he smiled and said: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Lao Gui's brother. It turns out that you are also suspected of being a spy for Dai Li. It's really
It’s so interesting.”
"Really? The more interesting thing is behind you!"
Hearing this, Ryukawa Hihara couldn't help but look back and saw Wang Tianxiang turning out from behind the screen with a smirk on his face and sitting down at the dining table in a decent manner.
This time, Ryukawa Hihara was stunned, and he quickly glanced at Tetsuo Tatsuo who was sitting on the main seat.
However, before he could ask, Gu Minzhang was ahead of him and said to Jiuchao Tiefu: "Your Excellency, Marquis, can we start?"
"Okay, please!"
"In the past few days, I have investigated all the accounts of important officials of the Nanjing National Government, and found that the most suspicious ones are among you."
"So, Guzhou's suspect has been identified?" Ryukawa Hihara asked with interest, "Mr. Gu, I have to say that your ability and efficiency are as high as a myth!"
Gu Minzhang smiled and said, "Haha, actually, even if His Excellency the Marquis has not entrusted me to investigate the discrepancies in the financial transactions of senior officials of Jiming Temple, as the vice-chairman of the National Economic Committee, I cannot have any control over the accounts and treasury of the Gonggun princes.
I know nothing! There was Deng Tong in the Han Dynasty and Shi Chong in the Jin Dynasty. In fact, in the Republic of China, there are many rich and powerful thieves like this. Please think about it, if Dai Li wants to use money to buy these people
Man, how high will the price be?"
Before he finished speaking, Commander Zhang on the side shook the red wine glass with his hand and said: "One car owned by Minister Zhou's brother-in-law is enough to cover the expenses of the entire Juntong Yamen for a year!"
"So what? The military commander has no money, and Boss Dai has no money. Vice President Gu just said that there are rich national thieves everywhere, including Nanjing and Chongqing!" Longchuan Feiyuan retorted with a look of disdain.
.
"But Boss Dai will never use his own money to do things for his party and state. I think Commander Zhang should be deeply aware of this, right?"
"Yeah, I think when I was in Wuhan, the brothers had already lost their wages. They started saying that the Japanese had a tight blockade and money couldn't come in. Later, they asked us to raise funds on the spot! At that time, Wuhan was already a Japanese
It belongs to people, and it is not the territory of the military. Where can we raise funds? Because of this, we suddenly changed our minds and simply switched to Chairman Wang. Anyway, just one sentence, you let Dai Li use his own money to do things for the party and the state.
, it’s like forcing a rooster to lay eggs!”
"So, the money to bribe high-ranking enemy officials can only come from the treasury!" Gu Minzhang said and took out an account book, "This is the Chongqing government's financial ledger since the capital was moved. Director Longchuan,
Please be sure to take a look for yourself. In the 28th year of the Republic of China, the Chongqing government's final fiscal revenue account was 2.406 billion French currency. The final expenditure account was 2.796 billion French currency, and the deficit rate was
Sixteen percent. In the 29th year of the Republic of China, the final account of revenue was 4.176 billion French currency, the final account of expenditure was 6.207 billion French currency, and the deficit rate was as high as 49.6%.
Third, if you add in the currency depreciation caused by the issuance of additional currency, then its deficit rate will double. It can be seen that Chongqing's finances are already riddled with holes.
The cost of water conservancy, transportation, and the money for repairs and reconstruction after being bombed are much more important than buying Chairman Wang's brave generals. I believe that with the current financial resources of Chongqing, it is impossible to support such an orphan.
Zhou, went to Nanjing to bribe high-ranking officials with money."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Ryukawa Hihara immediately asked: "Mr. Gu, is this your conclusion?"
"May I ask what Director Longchuan has to say?"
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I just have a question, and I would like to ask Mr. Gu to clarify it for me."
"Director Longchuan, please speak."
"According to Mr. Gu's judgment just now, Chongqing cannot afford to support Guzhou. So today, do you want to use these account books to tell the Marquis that Guzhou does not exist at all? But have you ever thought about it, if this Guzhou
He is a wealthy national thief himself, so he doesn’t need support from Chongqing at all?”
Hearing this, Gu Minzhang's face suddenly sank, and he said angrily: "Director Longchuan, what do you mean by this?"
"I'm just stating the facts. Just imagine, if that lone boat was as wealthy as you, Mr. Gu, wouldn't your previous inference be self-defeating?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Jiuchao Tiefu, all looked at Gu Minzhang, and even Gu Xiaomeng couldn't help but sweat for him secretly.
However, Gu Minzhang just smiled calmly and replied calmly: "Yes, I admit that the possibility that Director Longchuan just said does exist, but if you want to win over the senior officials in Nanjing, besides money, there are other factors
s method."
Long Chuan Fei Principle replied as if he had a chance to win: "Oh? Really? I'd like to hear the details."
