There is a single room outside Chen Mingxiang's office. There is a special secretary responsible for receiving guests. Not everyone can see him at will. The inside is divided into three rooms.
Entering the door is a business living room with imported Western-style sofas and coffee tables, a large crystal chandelier on the top, and a thick carpet on the floor.
There are cigar boxes, cigar cutters, lighters and ashtrays on the coffee table, as well as flowers for decoration. There are wine cabinets and cigarette cabinets on one corner of the wall. There are goblets and more than a dozen bottles of red wine in the wine cabinet. On the other corner are
A gramophone with a big speaker was playing.
On the left side of the living room is the office space, with curtains on the windows, a desk and chairs, a file cabinet, a safe, and a radio. There is a pair of rattan chairs opposite the desk, and there are bonsai and several potted flowers in the corner.
To the right of the living room is a tea room with a root-carved tea table and several root-carved round stools. There are purple sand tea sets and tea buckets on the tea table, and landscape paintings and calligraphy are hung on the walls.
"Isn't today my best opportunity? The Flower of the Empire comes to the door. Should I express something?" Chen Mingxiang reached out and took the document bag and threw it aside, then put his arm around her waist.
"Mingxiang, I think you can only be stubborn. Even if I dare to deliver it to your door, do you dare to ask for it?" Nanzo Yunzi kissed Chen Mingxiang's forehead gently and stretched out his hand to push him away.
She didn't show any concern at all. She opened the wine cabinet and took out the red wine, poured a glass for each of them, and then sat on the sofa.
Both of them knew what was going on with each other. Chen Mingxiang knew that Nan Zao Yunzi, the flower of the empire, was full of thorns, which might make him bleed. Nan Zao Yunzi knew that Chen Mingxiang was not something she could control, and they could not control each other.
It's just a game.
"Baling and Yancheng in Hunan Province, Qiaocheng in Anhui Province, and Yuzhang in Gansu Province are thousands of miles apart. I'm a little confused." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"If anyone can see it, I am not qualified to be an agent of the empire. Just tell me if I can send it to you!" Nanzo Yunzi said.
Xiang Province has always been a worry for the Japanese army. The Second Battle of Tanzhou launched some time ago did not take advantage. This must be the key point, and Yancheng is not far from the territory of Gui Province.
Qiaocheng in Anhui Province is very close to Henan Province, almost at the junction of the two provinces. You can enter Henan Province from the northwest, not to mention Yuzhang, the core city of Gan Province.
These places are transit points. There is no doubt that Japanese agents must arrive at these places and then go to their lurking destination.
"Since Miss Yunzi has a need, I have to do it even if I can't do it. You are a woman who wants to please her own beauty, so I am a scholar who will die for my confidant!" Chen Mingxiang said.
Nanzo Yunzi got up and went to the gramophone, took out a record from the cabinet, and within a few seconds, a sweet symphony sounded in the office.
A man and a woman dancing gracefully to the sound of music, it looks romantic and sweet no matter how you look at it, but only you know what you are thinking about.
"Jingle Bell!"
Chen Mingxiang hurriedly pushed away the overly enthusiastic Nanzo Yunzi, feeling a little strange in his heart that this Japanese female spy was deliberately playing with fire today!
"Your Excellency Okachi, I am Chen Mingxiang. What did you say? The armored vehicle transporting gold from Jianghai Customs to Zhengjin Bank was robbed? It was broad daylight. Who dared to have such courage to rob an armored vehicle escorted by the imperial army?
?" Chen Mingxiang was stunned.
Okaki Katsuo called him angrily and told him the shocking news that the armored vehicle sent by Zhengjin Bank to Jianghai Customs to transport gold had been snatched away.
Jiangguan Customs was the most important customs during the Republic of China. Before the break with the British, the British still controlled part of the revenue. However, as the public concession was occupied, the Japanese army expelled the British from Jiangguan and completely occupied Jiangguan.
Normally, Jianghai Customs and Japan's Zhengjin Bank are both located on the Bund, so they are very close to each other. It would not be troublesome to drive there in a straight line.
However, this batch of gold belongs to Jianghai Customs and is equivalent to China's property. It is nominally under the control of the Jinling Government's Ministry of Finance. If Japan wants to transport the gold away, it is a typical theft, which will trigger public condemnation and cause adverse effects.
.
Japan has a very strange mentality. While killing and looting in occupied areas, it turns a blind eye and tries to cover up its banditry.
Loading gold into an armored vehicle at the main gate of Jianghai Customs in broad daylight is not allowed. It is too conspicuous and will inevitably be seen by others, causing unnecessary trouble.
This time, the Japanese loaded a batch of gold into an armored vehicle at the back door of Jiangguan Customs, and then secretly transported it out of Jiangguan. They thought they had done it very cleverly.
But in this case, the transportation route will change, from going straight to going in a circle, starting from Zhongshandong all the way to Sichuan Road, turning north to Hankou Road, and then turning east to Zhengjin Bank on the Bund.
When the armored car set off from Jianghaiguan, there was a phone call to Zhengjin Bank, but even if the road conditions were not good, it would only take half an hour at most. Who would have thought that Zhengjin Bank would know that something big had happened before it even arrived after an hour?
, hurriedly called the Military Police Command, Marine Corps Command and the Police Department.
"This matter is a top secret of the empire. You don't know that for this transportation of gold, in order to worry that public opinion would be unfavorable to the empire, no imperial troops were sent to escort it. There was only one driver."
"Zhengjin Bank and the Military Police Headquarters also considered that no one would dare to commit any crime against the armored vehicle in broad daylight, but they all thought wrong. Someone took advantage of this mistake and robbed the armored vehicle. So far, no one has
I found it!" Okaki Katsuo said.
There was only one driver driving an armored car filled with gold, and no military police were sent. I was paralyzed because I didn’t know about it in advance. If I had known about it, I would have snatched it!
You deserve it, you bunch of heartless beasts rob China of its wealth!
But the question now is, who is so smart? Is it someone from the military command who did it?
Chen Mingxiang did not dare to neglect. The incident happened in the concession area, and he was about to become an "important" official in the Ministry of Industry Bureau. He dragged Nan Zao Yunzi out of the office and hurried to the Ministry of Industry Bureau.
Sirens were blaring along the way, and military police, police and Marines were everywhere. Motorcycles, trucks, cars, and armored vehicles were all dispatched. For the sake of gold, the Japanese did not care about the impact of public opinion. Gold must be the most important!
"Miss Yunzi is also here. The police who participated in the search just now reported that they found the armored vehicle transporting gold. The driver and the vehicle were all on the riverside near Waibaidu Bridge."
"However, the soldiers of our empire have been killed and the gold has been robbed. This is simply a shame for the empire!" Okaki Katsuo said furiously, slamming the coffee table in front of him.
The Bund is an area as big as the palm of your hand, so it doesn't take much effort to find it with so many people. The key is that there are many witnesses who saw the armored vehicle.
