Chapter 234: Contradictions between Japan and France
Kuroki Asada? What does he do, you ask? ”
As soon as he heard Meng Shaoyuan mention Heimu Matian, He Guangtao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This person has just been transferred, and the original director of the Municipal Administration Department of the Concession is called Ichikawa Youzhen. Why did Wild Sands Literature Network let Kuroki replace him? There's an inside story here.
Since the Nationalist Government took back the British and German concessions in Hankow and established the first and third special zones, the Hankou Concession has actually evolved into a dispute between France and France.
That person has been quietly expanding the concession, which inevitably touches the interests of the French, so don't look at these powers, Pingli always says it so nicely, but once it violates his own interests, then no one will want to let it.
In December last year, I remember that it was just after the Christmas of the foreigners, and there was a French couple named Alfonso, who came to Hankow to play, and after entering the concession, they disappeared. It just so happened that at that time, the French and myself, because of the entanglement of interests left in Hualou Street in the British Concession before, criticized and criticized no one. The French took advantage of this opportunity to attack.
They said that Alfonso and his wife had disappeared in the concession, so the concession must give an explanation and ensure the safety of Alfonso and his wife. As for me, I just promised to do my best to solve the case, but there has been no substantial progress for a long time.
In the end, the French couldn't wait, they quietly sent their detectives into the concession to investigate, and in the end, guess who? Former director of the Concession Municipal Division, Yuma Ichikawa.
Specifically, it's such a thing, Alfonso and his wife went to a restaurant they opened to eat, and there was a dispute because of the language barrier.
Alfonso is tall and tall, but Ichikawa has a real wife and brother who was beaten, where is he willing to be willing? secretly found a few ronin, caught up with Alfonso, and wanted to beat him out of anger, but who would have thought that a ronin didn't know the severity and actually stabbed Alfonso to death.
This incident made a big fuss, and Ichikawa Youzhen's wife and brother didn't stop doing anything, so they simply killed Alfonso's wife and buried the body......"
Meng Shaoyuan listened with relish: "How did that detective know this?" ”
"This inspector has some doorways, called Nasri, very nationalistic, he followed the route before the disappearance of Alfonso and his wife, slowly found clues, and then found a ronin, about a lot of money, let him tell the truth." He Guangtao took a sip of wine and continued:
"Although he knew what happened, and even found the bodies of Alfonso and his wife under the guidance of the ronin, he refused to admit that the incident had anything to do with them. The Benronin who provided the report also disappeared immediately, probably because he was killed, right?
You wouldn't think there's anything more than that, Nasri had the reports sent back, and then when he was about to collect them further, he disappeared too.
This time, the French were really anxious, and started a diplomatic lawsuit with their side, demanding that the murderer be severely punished and ensure the safety of their detective. I am the most protective of my shortcomings, so I insisted on a little bit and came up with evidence.
Within a few days, the government found an excuse to transfer Ichikawa Yuma back to the country, and sent Kuroki Asada to take his place. As for Alfonso's case, as well as Nasri's whereabouts, it has been up in the air. The French Concession, for this, simply became an enemy. ”
Meng Shaoyuan listened very carefully.
Seems like it can be utilized?
The great powers are always full of contradictions, and even if they collude together, it is only for the sake of interests.
"Nasri may not be dead." Meng Shaoyuan muttered to himself.
"Wouldn't it? Have all been missing for a few months and are still alive? He Guangtao looked a little unconvinced.
"After all, he is a detective, and I want to kill him, once it is exposed, the impact will be too great." Meng Shaoyuan muttered there: "Of course, this is just my guess. Guangtao, have we interfered in this matter? ”
"What are we meddling in?" He Guangtao disagreed: "These French people themselves are not good people, and we wish they would fight immediately." However, Stationmaster Zhou also asked us to do some investigations, and I also have a list of people involved in this matter, not to help the French solve the case, but to see if there is anything we can use. ”
Not to mention, none of these agents of the Lixing Society are simple.
We all know that "sandpiper and mussels compete for fishermen's profits".
"Guangtao, I have to ask to see something." Meng Shaoyuan almost had a plan in his heart: "Can you give me the information and list you have in your hand?" ”
"Of course there is no problem." He Guangtao didn't have time to think: "I'll send it to you tomorrow." ”
"Not tomorrow." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly said: "After drinking the wine in a while, I'll follow you to get it." ”
He Guangtao responded.
Looking at his appearance, I couldn't help it: "Shao Yuan, we are classmates and good friends, so if there are some things that shouldn't be asked, I can't stop asking." When you came to Wuhan this time, you didn't notify our stationmaster, so you sent me to the ward. I asked about Hei Mu Ma Tian again, and I also want relevant information, is your mission this time related to Hei Mu Ma Tian? ”
"Guangtao, I'm here for private this time." Meng Shaoyuan did not answer positively: "I will also meet you, what about you, don't tell anyone, there are some things, the fewer people who know, the better." ”
He Guangtao was shocked.
Meng Shaoyuan was secretly reminding him not to talk too much.
Since he saw Meng Shaoyuan, he has endured this doubt until now, and he has not said it, he chatted with him just now, and he was interested, so he asked more. But this is a big taboo for the Lixing Society.
I haven't seen it for a while, Meng Shaoyuan has changed a little, and he has faintly become an official.
Meng Shaoyuan was promoted to the deputy section chief of the headquarters, and he was far from his share, and the less he knew about some of his things, the safer he was.
"Shaoyuan, thank you for the reminder." He Guangtao perked up: "I'm a person who talks a lot, don't worry, you haven't been to Wuhan, and I haven't seen you." The signature on that document was signed by me when I went to Nanjing and pegged you to sign it. ”
"Guangtao, thank you." Meng Shaoyuan arched his hand: "Do you think I look like an official?" The tone of voice is also different from when I was in school? But I said from the bottom of my heart, I have never forgotten our brothers, but sometimes, the task is there, and I have no choice. Brother Guangtao, forgive me. ”
"Shaoyuan, when you say this, you will see the outside." He Guangtao said: "When you were in school, although you were the youngest, you had the most ideas, and we were all willing to listen to you. After graduation, your development is the fastest, and the time I saw Rong Yang, I also told him that the luckiest thing for us is to know you, and the faster you are promoted, the better it will be for us. In the future, I will have to ask for your support. ”
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Don't worry about this, as long as I, Meng Shaoyuan, can help, if you open your mouth, I will definitely not shirk my responsibility." Guangtao, after drinking this glass of wine, let's get the information together. ”
