Inoue smiled slightly. This was exactly the result he wanted.
He sighed and said softly: "The thing is like this. China and Japan have been in conflict recently. Mr. Du must know some of the reasons. I am sorry that there is nothing I can do about it."
He paused and then said: "This confrontation caused a small accident. A person from our country was detained by your country's military. I don't know what the misunderstanding was, but the result was indeed
Such a result."
Mr. Du looked at him coldly. Unexpectedly, the Japanese did not talk about the current situation, Yangliu Street, or the future of Shanghai, but said that a Japanese was detained by the national army! He came to see him for such a thing.
What am I doing!
He looked at Inoue calmly, with a sneer on his lips.
Inoue Hiaki was a smart man and had already seen Mr. Du's thoughts. But he remained calm and continued: "Originally, this matter was negotiated by the diplomatic departments of both parties, and there might be a better result. But, I am not a friend.
My friend, they were worried that the diplomatic channel would take too long, so they inappropriately detained a person from your country’s military. They wanted to exchange it with your country’s military, one by one. Mr. Du, that’s what happened.”
Mr. Du was a little surprised, he didn't expect such a thing.
He understood that things might not be that simple. He guessed that those detained by both sides might be agents of the other side, and they might even hold some secrets! However, he was still a little surprised!
He still had those doubts in his heart, why would he ask me for such a thing?
Thinking of this, he said: "Since it is an exchange between two parties, it is just an exchange. What does it have to do with me?"
Inoue smiled slightly, spread his hands and said: "Mr. Du, the problem is that the misunderstanding between your country and Japan is quite deep, and there is even no trust at all. In this way, one-on-one exchanges between the two parties may not be possible.
It will go well. Another point, let me tell you frankly, my friend who is not a friend is very worried that your country's military will use some means to embarrass you, which will be even worse. Mr. Du, do you think this is the case?
"
Mr. Du understands that the two parties do not trust each other, so if they want to exchange, it may be difficult to succeed!
"So, what do you want me to do?" he asked tentatively.
"We hope that you will provide a guarantee for this exchange to ensure that this exchange can go smoothly!"
After Inoue finished speaking, he stared at him motionless, trying to see what he was thinking.
Mr. Du finally understood that the Japanese wanted to exchange, but were afraid of losing his wife and losing their troops, so they had to move him out as a guarantee!
He smiled and said: "Mr. Inoue, I can't do anything about this kind of thing. Whether the government or the military will listen to me is another matter. In case, you guys also come up with a small trick to get you into a trap, I'll take it.
What should I do in the middle? Aren't you going to invite me into the urn today?"
Inoue laughed for a while, and then said hurriedly: "My friend who is not a friend has repeatedly assured me that they will never do such a thing! They really want to exchange. Mr. Du's reputation is unique in Shanghai
Second, we can trust you. We believe that you still have great influence even in the government and the military!"
Mr. Du is a cautious person. He thought of the three points that Dr. Fu said that Inoue wanted to discuss with him. Now, Inoue never mentioned those three points, but repeatedly talked about the exchange. It seems that this exchange
, more important than those three points!
So, he asked calmly: "Can you tell me who the friend you mentioned who is not a friend is? I think this person is quite interesting."
Inoue stared at him calmly and said softly: "He is a noble prince of the Japanese royal family and serves in the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters. He can decide everything! I mean everything between Japan and China!"
This situation surprised Mr. Du. From what Inoue said, it seems that Prince Chunbo can decide the possible war between China and Japan! This is more serious.
He didn't speak for a while, carefully thinking about the situation in front of him.
Inoue once sent a message to him through Dr. Fu, saying that he wanted to talk about three points, namely: the current situation, Willow Street, and Shanghai in the future. If you remove the branches, these three points are actually talking about war! And that Prince Chunbo
Can decide everything! Could he decide the war? The war in Shanghai?
He couldn't help but think that this matter was too sensitive, and it was difficult for him to grasp what was good and what was bad.
But one thing is, as long as it is beneficial to the Japanese, it is the last thing he wants to do! This is his bottom line!
Thinking of this, he said softly: "Mr. Inoue, I don't know who this prince is, and he has nothing to do with me. I still said what I just said to you, the government or the army will not listen to me, a civilian businessman.
.I cannot overestimate my capabilities and agree to what you said. Mr. Inoue, I am really sorry."
As he said this, he stood up, which meant that today's meeting was over.
Inoue also stood up, but still wanted to make one last effort.
He said: "Mr. Du, what I also want to say is that no matter what happens in the future, we hope to cooperate with Mr. Du, and we hope that Mr. Du will not miss this opportunity!"
Mr. Du stared at him coldly and said: "Maybe this is what you once said, the current situation! Or Shanghai in the future? I'm sorry, I can't help you. You'd better hire someone else."
Inoue was very angry. First, he had promised Takahashi that he would be able to convince Mr. Du Yuesendu! Unexpectedly, now he hit a soft nail. Second, a Chinese dared to reject the Empire of Japan.
The request is simply unreasonable! It is even more unacceptable!
He wanted to say a few harsh words, or even humiliate him. But when he thought that the fact of rescuing Takaji Naoki was too important, he could only bear it!
Inoue Hizaki took the car back to his office at Tong Yuan Yang Co. in the Hartung Building and yelled at Takahashi: "That guy named Du is very unreasonable! How dare he refuse my suggestion! If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely do it."
You’re welcome to him!”
Knowing that Inoue had failed, Takahashi said nothing more. He said goodbye to Mr. Inoue and took a car directly to Yali Bar.
He understood that he could only rely on those guys from the Navy to rescue Takaji Naoki!
Both he and Inoue were uncomfortable with this, but there was no other way! He had no choice but to go find them!
16-9
Takahashi arrived at Yali Bar and went directly to Akitsu's small office.
Kawakami was not there, and Akijin looked at him calmly with a faint smile on his face.
Takahashi asked as humbly as possible: "I'm sorry, Miss Akitsu, isn't Kawakami-kun here?"
Qiu Jin smiled and said, "Sorry, he went to Zhang Mansion."
Takahashi asked a little angrily: "Zhang Mansion? What is he doing there?"
Akitsu poured him a glass of water and said, "Mr. Takahashi, why are you so angry? Is there anything that's bothering you?"
"Please answer my question first! Why did Kawakami go to Zhang Mansion!"
"Mr. Takahashi, I want to ask you to be polite first!"
Takahashi also felt that his words were a bit harsh, so he quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Akitsu, please tell me."
Akijin nodded to him with a smile and said: "Wang Changchun sat here all day yesterday, don't you understand? Boss Zhang may be willing to cooperate with us! For the next step, Kawakami must go there! It will be indispensable to control Shanghai in the future.
Such a person! Mr. Takahashi, I would like to ask, have Mr. Inoue and Boss Du reached an agreement?"
This was the thing that annoyed Takahashi the most. He had to say: "That Du, if you don't drink the toast, you will have to drink as a fine! He refused to guarantee the exchange! He is full of hostility to our great Japan! Let's not talk about him for now! Kawakami
If I'm not here, what should I do about the exchange?"
Qiu Jin sneered and said: "Are you always so clueless? Let me tell you, what to do next, we have already arranged it for you! We can definitely accomplish this! However, you have to cooperate!"
Takahashi stared at her. He really saw that she was a very shrewd woman. He wanted to see how they arranged it and how he wanted to cooperate!
Qiu Jin stared at him, reached for the phone, and dialed a number.
She said into the phone: "You go, now."
Then, she dialed another number. But after listening for a long time, the phone was busy.
She threw down the phone and said angrily: "He seems to be busy, calling someone."
Takahashi asked: "Who are you calling?"
Qiu Jin glanced at him, "Gui Longhai! That policeman! Didn't I tell you last night?"
Now, Takahashi had to consider asking the little policeman to guarantee the exchange! He didn't believe that the Navy guys could make this happen!
16-10
At this time, in the Nanshi Police Station, Gui Longhai had just received the terrifying news that Chu Jinbao, the leader of Hongmen Hongkou Mountain Hall, and his bodyguards were ambushed and were all beaten to death on Fengtian Road!
He felt with horror that the fight between the Qing Gang and the Hongmen had reached a very serious stage!
Hongkou Shantang is the main hall of Hongmen in Shanghai and has huge power. Now that the hall leader has been killed, it can be seen how far the hatred between the two parties has reached! Next, there will definitely be more serious cases!
God! God! He was both horrified and amazed in his heart!
Fengtian Road is in the North District of the Public Settlement and is under the jurisdiction of the Jiaxing Road Police Department. The inspector of the Jiaxing Road Police Department is a Chinese named Yan Weishan, and he is a very righteous man.
Gui Longhai still had some friendship with him, so he called him in a hurry. After calling him for a long time, he finally got through.
Yan Weishan said: "Brother Gui, I just came back from the scene. It's incredible. It's really incredible this time! Seven or eight people died, and there were corpses and blood stains everywhere! The reporters were even more crazy, rushing into the scene with all their strength.
, I can’t even stop it!”
Gui Longhai couldn't help but think that tomorrow's newspapers would not know how to exaggerate it!
He said: "Brother, you must control it! Otherwise it will be worse!"
