21 Arson is an internal strife among the Chinese
The night passed quickly.
The next day, Shanghai Beach was quiet and peaceful.
Most of the people involved in the relief efforts were still asleep, and the early risers were talking because they didn't know the truth.
Looking down on the world after the rain, no one except their loved ones grieved for the innocent victims.
For them, the tragedy of another family is just a talking point.
Favoli stormed the British consulate early in the morning and threw a copy of Melo's detailed collation in front of Bane.
"I want an explanation, Mr. Bane."
There are detailed records of the telephone exchange on the materials:
At 10:11 p.m. and 10:22 p.m. on July 27, 1903, the telephone number 777 called the Fire Administration Office at 119 of the Public Concession, but no one answered.
However, 119 made several calls at 10:05 p.m., 10:31 p.m., 10:45 p.m., and 11:07 p.m.
If the call logs only make Devimen deliberately not answering the phone, then the photos are another clear proof.
"This is the scene that my friend took Charlie's friend to shoot at the door of the fire office, and you can still see the fire from the backlight."
After Fei Volli finished speaking, he took out another confession: "In addition, this is the confession of the four arsonists who were arrested. ”
"I'll arrange for someone to arrest me." Bane said helplessly, his face already stomped on the ground for Favoli.
But at that moment, Favoli said, "Mr. Bane, you know why I came to you and offered this. ”
“。。。。。”
"There's one such idiot who is a problem for the whole of Shanghai, and he's also colluding with Baochang. I'll leave these things to you first, and as for what you're going to do, I'll wait for your call. With that, Fei Volli got up and took his leave.
He revealed that it was only for Devemon personally, and handed him the handle of the knife.
But Bane knew that the initiative in this matter was actually still in the hands of the other party.
Especially the sentence that the other party said "Deweimen colluded with Baochang".
The meaning of Fei Voli is already obvious, you must help me take out Bao Chang.
This French bastard is really enough, the question is am I doing something wrong?
But Bain had absolutely no way to defend himself against threats and demands from the French Concession.
Because once this matter is exposed, it will not only be Deweimen who will be ashamed, but the entire British Far East management will become a laughing stock.
His reputation will also be ruined.
And he thinks that Fivoli must have other tricks.
Sure enough, not long after Fervoli left, the American-Today newspaper he read published a report on the great deeds of the consul of the French Concession who personally put out the fires and arrested the arsonists.
Looking at the figure of Han Charlie in the photo in the newspaper, Bane rubbed his eyebrows and picked up the phone: "Pick me up Mr. Hartung." ”
But at this moment, something happened again in the Public Concession.
When Jason gets up and tries to get the car, he finds two skinny greenskins standing outside 777.
Seeing that it was Uncle Yang, the two green skins nodded their heads, and one of them actually said to him in pidgin English: "Sir, Mr. Charlie's, car?" ”
"Yes."
"I..." When he was exhausted, he posed as a bodyguard, meaning that he had found the car and immediately guarded it with his brothers.
Jason laughed and said that he understood, and Qingpi continued to gesture that they didn't smash the glass.
Then they insisted on not tipping Jason, and said majestically that it was all as it should be.
Jason looked at the dew on their heads with both helplessness and pride, and he knew that it was the magic of the license plate owner.
Then he pulled the door open to get into the car, but at that moment he accidentally saw the two men exchange glances in the mirror and put his hand in his arms.
Jason in the past, must die.
Because he has no experience.
Jason, who has been following Charlie Han for a long time, don't be too old now.
He didn't even think about it, and then he ran without looking back and shouted, "Help, help." ”
Because the two green skins had knives in their hands.
Anyway, the two goods were also stunned, damn it, this foreign devil reacted so quickly?
Again, Jason ran the corner, but he actually came back, this time he was followed by two foreigners, one was Foreman and the other was Kesper.
After returning in the early morning, they slept in Meifeng, and when they got up, they were ready to ask Jason to go to Charlie's house together.
They were on a road directly across from Meifeng, and by the time they arrived at Jason's house, Jason had already come out.
Just as they wondered where Jason was going, they heard shouts, and Casper and Foreman rushed at once.
So the scene soon became three foreigners chasing two green skins, no matter how these two green skins threatened, these three foreigners anyway, you advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance.
It is said that the physical fitness of foreigners in this year is much better than that of ordinary Chinese.
The two green skins that were wrapped around them collapsed, and finally they all gasped like dogs, and they were easily stopped by the patrol who rushed to hear the news.
Now Jason can't care about looking for Charlie, he is staring at this case, because he is sure that the other party is targeting him, and he must dig out the instigator behind it.
The incident soon alarmed the American Consul George.
It is simply intolerable that a U.S. citizen was almost killed by the green skin of Shanghai Tang.
With the strong participation of the U.S. Consulate, the two Qingpi quickly explained that they were instructed to do so by Li Moping, the Chinese arrester of the Laozha Patrol House.
But when the Americans called and asked for Li Moping to be detained, Li Moping had already died in the wilderness!
At this time, the British and American sides in the public concession were mixed together again.
And this Li Moping is the one who arranged for Qingpi to go to the French Concession to set fires.
Immediately afterwards, Judge Guan Zhizhi, who had already taken over the four arsonists, also sent a note to the British side, requesting that Li Moping be handed over.
He's dead? Move the body when you die!
According to the regulations of the Concession, all crimes committed by Chinese people are jointly interrogated by the Public Trial Hall.
So his request was justified.
Under the pressure of several parties, the British side was suddenly anxious.
Deweimen disagreed, and took a tough bite back: "The arson is nothing more than Chinese infighting." As for why they didn't put out the fire, the reason is simple. The Board of Directors should have its own firefighting team, and it has not yet paid enough for the year, but you agree with Mr. Bain. In this case, the Fire Administration Department is not obliged to rescue him, not to mention that I did not receive a phone call. ”
Bain did agree to Dwemen's request for increased funding for the fire administration.
Because it's a good thing for the Ministry of Industry.
But the problem is, he didn't know that so much was going to happen later.
Devemon's words were tantamount to kidnapping him, and Bane was almost angry, and roared, "Do you think everyone is a fool? The four arsonists were instructed by Li Moping, but by whom was Li Moping instigated? ”
"Who?" Devimon sneered and asked, "That bastard died in the wilderness by himself." The Chinese can completely whip his corpse! I don't understand why you're questioning me about this. ”
