With the occurrence of the bank robbery, there was a storm in the rental house. The consulates of various countries tried their best to find the whereabouts of the robbed property. However, the Japanese were well prepared. How could they easily find out where the property was?
, so after a whole night of investigation, there was no progress in the case.
On the night when the case occurred, Zhang Hao caught two people outside the Tianjin City Hall, and also collected nearly 100 kilograms of gold bars on the spot. After learning that the two people were caught, and that they were stolen goods
After everything was obtained, Li Yunsheng smiled with satisfaction. He did not interrogate the arrested people, but simply asked Zhang Hao to take good care of the people and the gold.
Not long after, Liu Gang also sent someone back to inform Li Yunsheng that the bank robbers went to the Japanese warehouse in the French Concession and hid the property in the warehouse. When he heard that the Army also hid the looted property in the warehouse, Li Yunsheng curled his lips in disdain,
I thought that these Japanese people all had the same moral character. They openly hid their belongings in their own warehouses just because no one dared to search their warehouses easily. It was really arrogant. Now that he knew the whereabouts of the robbed property, Li Yunsheng began to
Pay attention to the progress of things.
Early the next morning, in the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Public Settlement, the consuls from various countries who had been busy all night gathered together again. Robert said in a low tone: "I have been checking all night, but there is no result. Now the matter has spread to the country.
"The superiors have already called to inquire about this matter and asked us to solve the case within a time limit. Let's talk about what to do now."
The consuls of other countries also frowned. After all, one night had passed, the matter had spread, and everyone here was also under a lot of pressure. At this time, Japanese Consul Suzuki Koichi said: "
My people have found some clues, and now I can introduce them to the consuls."
When the French consul heard that there was a clue, he quickly asked: "Mr. Suzuki, what clue is it?" Philip was the most anxious one now. The security of the public concession was responsible for the security of the public concession. The British, American and Italian consuls were responsible for the security of the French concession.
He is the only one responsible for the security, and there is no one who can share the responsibility. Moreover, his term of office is coming soon. If this matter cannot be resolved, he will not be able to reap the benefits when he returns home, so he is now eager to solve the case.
After listening to Philip's words, Suzuki Koichi said calmly: "The clue was discovered by my assistant military attache, Taro Yamaguchi. Now let him tell you about it." Then he motioned to Taro Yamaguchi beside him to speak.
Yamaguchi Taro stood up quickly, bowed to the consuls of various countries, and then said solemnly: "After the big bank robbery last night, we were sure that those who could do it must have great power in Tianjin.
people, so we put the direction of solving the case on the garrison of various countries. I would like to apologize to all the consuls for investigating your garrison privately without your permission."
Now everyone was focused on the case, and no one cared about this little thing, so they motioned for Yamaguchi Taro to continue.
Taro Yamaguchi did not continue to talk nonsense and said directly: "After checking the garrisons of various countries, we did not find any problems, but I also thought that there is a huge force in Tianjin, that is, the Chinese, so I sent someone to check
, let’s see if the Chinese did anything unusual last night. Sure enough, we found someone transporting a large amount of items to the Tianjin Municipal Government. However, when we found out, it was already a little late. No witnesses were caught. Now we can only ask the consuls of various countries.
Come with us to search the Tianjin Municipal Government, and you should gain something."
As soon as Taro Yamaguchi finished speaking, Robert frowned and asked: "Are you sure it was the Chinese who did it? They have such courage to send troops to rob banks in various countries." Since the Chinese government has always been weak externally, and at this time
Chinese people are somewhat afraid of foreigners, so Robert did not believe that the Chinese would do it.
Taro Yamaguchi quickly said: "Of course ordinary Chinese people don't dare, but Mr. Consul, don't forget that there are many various forces in China, and some warlords dare to go against their central government. It's not necessarily true that there are a few bold guys.
, and North China is a place with many warlords. Maybe someone will attack banks in various countries. After all, huge benefits can be obtained in this way."
Robert thought in his mind that even if there were one or two brainless people who were bold enough to attack the bank, they could send hundreds of people to rob the bank. They were definitely not ordinary people. Would such people be brainless? So he attacked Taro Yamaguchi.
I was still very doubtful. Just when I was about to say something, French Consul Philippe spoke up and said in a calm tone: "Since your people discovered that someone was transporting stolen goods to the Tianjin Municipal Government, let's go and search. Why guess here?"
”.
Although Philip did not think that the Chinese would be so bold as to rob banks in various countries, he would not give up as long as there were some clues. The consuls of other countries also agreed and did not hesitate to search the Tianjin Municipal Government.
, treating it as the same thing and blatantly trampling on China's sovereignty.
When Robert saw that everyone agreed with this opinion, he stopped talking and ordered his men to call the Tianjin Municipal Government and inform the city government staff that the consuls from various countries were going to search there. Then he followed the consuls from various countries and led them
A large number of police officers went to the Tianjin Municipal Government.
The mayor of Tianjin was shocked when he received a call from the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau. The bank robbery had caused a storm in the city. Most people in the city government knew the news, and the mayor was no exception. But what happened
But it happened within the concession, so it didn't need to be dealt with by the Tianjin authorities. The mayor didn't take the matter to heart. However, he didn't expect that the Tianjin Municipal Government would find out about this case, so he reported it to the Nanjing authorities.
Find a way to deal with this.
At about 9:30 in the morning, the consuls from various countries came to the Tianjin Municipal Government with a large number of police officers. Several consuls went directly to the mayor's office. Japanese Consul Suzuki Koichi was the first to speak, demanding a search of the city government. His attitude was very serious.
tough.
Although the mayor of Tianjin at this time was a smooth person, he did not dare to easily agree to the consuls from various countries who wanted to search the city government. After all, this was too embarrassing and an act of extreme loss of sovereignty, and it could not be explained to the Chinese people.
, once he did this, I was afraid that he would not be far away from stepping down, and he would probably have to bear the reputation of being a traitor, so the matter became a stalemate.
However, as the Nanjing government received the news, and consuls from various countries also informed the embassy in Nanjing of the matter, the matter became more and more serious. At noon, Li Yunsheng received a telegram from the headquarters, and the director personally issued an order for Li Yunsheng to
Find out the truth within Tianzhi and give an explanation to all countries.
Seeing the telegram sent by Virgo, Li Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't learned about the Japanese conspiracy in advance, Wuluan would not have been able to solve the case within two days. Virgo must have been under pressure, so he gave himself a death order.
, but now the time is almost up. Li Yunsheng has received news that the consuls from various countries have arrived at the city hall, and now it is time for him to appear, so he found Zhang Hao and said confidently to him: "Take you and arrest them."
People and gold bars, let’s go to the city hall and solve the problem for Mr. Mayor.”
Zhang Hao now knew what happened, and he couldn't help but be surprised by Li Yunsheng's source of information. The Japanese were able to learn the news in advance through such a secretive move, so he said with a smile: "The webmaster is not just helping the mayor solve problems.
Well, are we still going to cause trouble for the Japanese?"
Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "The Japanese have set up such a big stage and want to sing a good show, but the protagonist in our hands is not here, how can he sing the show?" After saying that, he took Zhang Hao and a few of his men.
to the city government.
At this time, the Tianjin Municipal Government and the mayor finally couldn't stand the pressure from all parties and finally agreed to let the consuls from various countries search the municipal government. However, after the search was completed, nothing was found. The French Consul Philippe asked the Japanese Consul: "Mr. Suzuki, what are you doing?"
People said they saw someone hiding stolen goods in the city hall, but why can’t they find it now?”
Suzuki Koichi didn't know what to say. After all, he only knew about the plan and cooperated with the military's actions. He didn't know how things would work, so he looked at Yamaguchi Taro next to him.
When Yamaguchi Taro saw Suzuki Hikari thinking about himself, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated. As soon as he entered the city hall, he was looking for hidden clues, but he couldn't find anyone, so he guessed that something might have happened unexpectedly, but the consuls from various countries had already arrived, and he had to wait until he was ready.
So I searched the city hall and found nothing. Now I had to stand up and explain, saying in a gentle tone: "Mr. Consul, please don't be anxious. Maybe the stolen goods have been transferred. After all, Tianjin is such a big place and things happen."
All night, they had enough time to move the stolen goods."
Even if there was an accident, Yamaguchi Taro still blamed the Chinese people. He thought that the worst he could do was to find a way to frame the blame and create more evidence. Although this would not be as good as searching for stolen goods in the city hall to make people believe it, but
There is no other way now.
At this time, the mayor of Tianjin said: "Mr. Yamaguchi, don't talk nonsense. You said that the bank robbery was done by the Chinese. You also said that there was dirt here. You insisted on coming in to search and blatantly trampled on China's sovereignty. The search has been completed now."
, there is no result, how are you going to explain to me?" The mayor of Tianjin saw that Taro Yamaguchi was still holding on to the Chinese, so he quickly opened his mouth to hold him accountable.
Taro Yamaguchi said disdainfully: "Explain, what explanation do you want? My people will not misunderstand, nor will they lie to others. After all, our bank in the Japanese Concession was also robbed, and we will not joke about such things, but in Tianjin, we can
You Chinese people are the most likely to do this kind of thing." Regarding the Chinese, the Japanese have always been arrogant and domineering, relying on the strength of their country and being unreasonable at all.
The mayor of Tianjin was so angry that he could not speak. He thought that this was the end of a poor and weak country, but he did not dare to offend the Japanese too much for fear of making the matter worse. He just looked at the consuls of other countries and hoped that
Some of them could say a few words of justice, but the consuls of the other countries were not willing to offend the Japanese, so they all watched the fun in silence.
Seeing this, the mayor of Tianjin had no choice but to say: "Well, you can do whatever you want. We didn't do it anyway, and it can't be true if it's fake."
Taro Yamaguchi said arrogantly: "Don't worry, Mr. Mayor, I will definitely find evidence and solve the case as soon as possible."
