Chapter 112: Greed
Meng Shaoyuan sat there calmly and waited.
It's been almost half an hour.
Meng Shaoyuan was not in a hurry at all.
Many times, waiting is also a virtue.
Forty-five minutes later, Daniel's assistant finally appeared:
"Mr. Commissioner of Police can see you now."
"Thank you."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and stood up with a bag.
In the office, Daniel was looking at a document, and Meng Shaoyuan came in, but he didn't even look at it.
After deliberately drying Meng Shaoyuan for a few minutes, Daniel raised his head: "Charles, it's a pleasure to see you again." Is there anything I can help you with? ”
If he wasn't a relative of Madame Rose, he wouldn't even have met him.
"Thank you, Mr. Commissioner of Police." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I'm here to talk to you about China and some of Shanghai's history. ”
"What?"
Daniel wondered if he had misheard.
He came to talk to himself about the history of China and Shanghai?
Is he crazy?
Or does he have some other purpose?
Meng Shaoyuan sat down by himself: "Look, back then, the British Empire used warships and artillery to open the door of China's seclusion, and then, in addition to the advanced civilization of the West, there was another thing pouring into China, opium.
This is really disgusting. In Shanghai, there are also many opium smokers, green gang bosses, business celebrities, and prostitutes in brothels.
The Nationalist Government has long banned smoking, but there are always people who are doing it secretly. In Shanghai, the biggest opium dealer is called You Xianghong, Mr. Police Commissioner, have you heard of this person? ”
Daniel's right hand, which was clenched into a fist, moved his thumb involuntarily when he heard the name.
Meng Shaoyuan carefully observed his every move: "You Xianghong controls the supply of opium in Shanghai, Wuhan, and even Nanjing, but he would not have been able to do this without his cooperation. Mr. Commissioner of Police, guess who he is working with? ”
"I don't know, and I don't care." Daniel's brow locked, "What the hell are you trying to say, Charles Meng?" ”
"But I care, Mr. Commissioner." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "The person who provided him with protection was you, right?" ”
Daniel was furious: "What nonsense are you talking there! How could I, the Commissioner of Police, work with an opium dealer! ”
"Don't get excited." Meng Shaoyuan kept his smile: "You not only provide protection for You Xianghong, but also have shares. You settle the accounts every four months, and You Xianghong personally delivers the money to your home. However, the last account was delayed, why? Is You Xianghong a debtor? No, he's going to mobilize money and do a big business.
And after careful consideration, you also agreed, and put the two settlement periods together at the end of this year, which is a lot of money. The shipment will pass through Nanjing in two days. You say, if the ship carrying the goods is suddenly checked, will you feel distressed, Mr. Police? ”
Sweat poured out of Daniel's forehead.
Of course he will be distressed, and it will be distressed.
Once that ship is investigated, it means that his investment is suddenly in vain.
That's a lot of money.
How did "Charles" know this?
No, who the hell is this young man?
"Who are you? What is your real identity? Daniel hurriedly asked.
"I am a spy in the service of the national government." Meng Shaoyuan did not hide his identity at all: "Inspecting smuggling and opium is also one of my tasks. I will inform the Nanking authorities and immediately seize the boat. What can you do, Mr. Commissioner of Police?
You can't openly intervene, after all, it's Nanjing, not the Shanghai Public Concession, which is beyond the reach of your hands. Moreover, your identity does not allow you to do this, and it will cause an uproar for a dignified police commissioner to collude with opium dealers. Don't forget, my public identity is a journalist. ”
Reporter of "Huashang Daily".
If the scandal of the Commissioner of Police were to be published in the newspapers, it would definitely cause an uproar in the concession.
Under the wave of protests, the Ministry of Industry may even remove Daniel from his post because he can't bear the pressure.
Even if he could still sit in this position, his reputation would be destroyed.
Daniel's biggest concern is his money.
He would rather be removed from office than lose that large sum of money.
That's going to drive him crazy.
Although it is unclear whether the other party is capable of impounding the ship, Daniel is definitely not willing to take the risk: "You need me to do something for you, Charles. ”
He was a smart man, and he quickly guessed that the reason why Meng Shaoyuan said this to himself must have a purpose.
"I'm going to kill a few people." Meng Shaoyuan said casually: "The first one is Yin Kesheng. ”
"What? Homicide? In the Public Concession? ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Chief of Police, I'll show you something first." Meng Shaoyuan picked up a stool, sat down opposite Daniel's desk, sat down again, opened the bag, took out a check from it and put it on the desk:
"Five thousand pounds, just an ordinary revenge case. Yin Kesheng has an enemy, the Taihu Lake bandit Xue Sangun, it was Xue Sangun who came to the public concession to seek revenge and killed Yin Kesheng. At the scene of the murder, you will find ample evidence. Then, how to arrest Yin Kesheng, that is what the national government needs to want. ”
Five thousand pounds! That's 54,000 oceans!
Daniel's eyes were fixed on the check.
But once you accept the check......
"The death of a Chinese will not cause any waves in the concession." Meng Shaoyuan was confident: "I heard that Yin Kesheng's relative Fei Xijiang is working in the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and told him the results of the investigation, if he wants to take revenge, he can go to Xue Sangun." Or are you ready to stand out for a Chinese, a rogue leader? ”
Daniel accepted the check: "So, what about the ship?" ”
"What ship?" Meng Shaoyuan looked surprised: "I never knew what a ship was. ”
A smile flashed on Daniel's face: "A Taihu bandit actually ran to the public concession, and we didn't know it at all, I, the police commissioner, was still derelict in my duties." ”
Meng Shaoyuan also smiled.
A miser will never allow any loss of his property. And a miser must also be a greedy guy.
Opium dealers? Take your time and clean up, and do what needs to be done now.
"Well, that's the second thing." Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "I need you to transfer most of the patrols in the daily capture room the morning after tomorrow, and you need to give me at least three hours." ”
"What? It's impossible, I can't do it, I can't do it anyway! ”
