Chapter 682: Human Favor
Jonathan didn't hide the surprise in the chaos, he gave the order, and told Henry and several other bigwigs who were also waiting for the results, and showed those confessions to everyone.
"They should be hanged!!"
Henry roared angrily.
"No...... They are to be handed over to ...... Advance Army...... Pacify the anger of the advance army...... Avoid further escalation...... We've messed up enough......"
Shi Molai, who was unwilling to go back to rest and recuperate, insisted on getting together with the bigwigs to discuss countermeasures, said professionally.
"Yes."
George agreed: "The advance army cannot be trusted by the confession alone, and if they do not deal with it personally, they will not believe our words if they can't see these people involved in the case, what needs to be done now is to control the people related to the trading houses, including domestic ones, and then hand over these people to the advance army, and they will deal with it personally, so as to solve the crisis of the concession being trapped." ”
The French ambassador said: "Ambassador George is right, at present, we have to report this matter to the domestic power generation, control the people related to Baoshun and Huisi Firm, find the root knot, and avoid the recurrence of this kind of event that may cause a crisis, and at the same time, we should not be optimistic, William here belongs to the Americans, but Baoshun and Wisdom Firm are British, we have to see if the advance army will mistakenly think that this is the act of a political axe, if so, it will provoke a war, I think you don't want to see this situation appear." ”
The moment his words fell, everyone returned to their current reality.
Indeed, it was inevitable that the advance army would be angry with Japan, and the assassins were Japanese. The Americans and the British were involved, and the bank was robbed, and banknotes and fragments were found in the vaults of HSBC, Citigroup and Chubb banks. These are all closely related to the concession, they did not have information about the bank robbery during the interrogation, Baoshun and Hui Si and William personally, they did not know that there were banknotes in the secret room of Ludao, and these Japanese also participated in the bank robbery.
William was even more confused, his confession did not contain information about the four dead Americans. He didn't know that there were Americans in Ludao, and he didn't know about the robbery of Ludao's bank.
Of course, no one will believe that they don't know what to do, but the other party will not admit it, which means that they will not be able to find the accomplices who robbed the bank for the time being, and they will not be able to recover those large sums of gold and silver. Or maybe they really didn't know about the robbery of the bank, but they were involved in the assassination of Dong Ku, which was enough to kill them a hundred times.
And before Dong Ku wakes up, will the advance army be angry with Britain and the United States? Will it once be an excuse to get into trouble with the United States and Britain in the concession? They have made bold statements more than once. It is their enemies who help the Japanese, and they will not stop fighting.
Although they all have oil, rubber and mineral businesses, as well as weapons and ammunition, they have traded with Japan and are still continuing, but after all, they are conducted in secret and secretly, and there is no such record in the public. Not to mention that the advance army will take advantage of the topic, it is still possible to ask for an explanation normally.
Everyone didn't squeak when they thought about this layer. They didn't know if the advance force would really anger the British and Americans in the concession.
Jonathan thought for a moment and said, "We are all familiar with Dong Ku's adjutant and two guards. Do you send someone to tell them the news first, and then see if you can tax Adjutant Zuo. Does this mean that this root has nothing to do with the respective countries, but is only an individual act? ”
Shi Molai took a few breaths and said: "If you go, there are people who can talk to Adjutant Zuo at present, but the relationship is not close, I don't know who Lu Dao is...... Willing to bear this talk...... What about the responsibility to go to the left adjutant? ”
Count people, you look at me, I look at you. No one spoke for half a while.
The robbery of the bank in the concession was originally a catastrophe, and it will be difficult to control everyone's speculation tomorrow whether the news is blocked or not. After all, there are not one or two people living near the bank, but quite a few people, which will inevitably cause speculation. And if the advance army does not pursue it, then they will be much less pressured, and there will be a way to solve these difficulties, or find the looted property of the bank and quell the riots.
"I'll try it."
In the silence, a voice abruptly emerged.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at it, and they couldn't help but laugh in their hearts.
It was the Italian military attache Colonel Field, who spoke, and he went, and the crowd was not optimistic.
Henry thought for a while and said, "Okay, then General Field will go, and Jonathan, as the chief director of the Ministry of Industry of the concession, will also go, so as to show respect, and there will be many people to mediate." ”
"Okay, then I'll follow, Phil's general is the master." Qian Asen said slickly.
Field didn't pay any attention to the twists and turns, he took the confessions from the bigwigs, saluted, and turned to his jeep.
Jonathan also patted the dust on his body, tidied up his appearance, got into his car, and ran behind Field towards the concession intersection.
After the two headlights disappeared, Henry and the others turned their attention to Citibank, waiting for the cleanup to be completed, and knowing the specific loss, whether the bank's property was blown up or robbed.
Field and Jonathan quickly rushed to the gate of the concession, and more than twenty meters away, Field shouted: "The soldiers on the other side are troublesome to pass on a message, I am the Italian military attache in Shanghai, Field, we have caught the murderer who attacked General Dong Ku, I hope to meet with Adjutant Zuo and talk about this matter face to face." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure stood up in the bunker opposite and asked, "You said you caught the murderer?" ”
"Yes, we just caught it not long ago, and it is confirmed that it is the murderer of General Dong, please inform Adjutant Zuo, and we will meet and talk in detail."
Field's voice fell, and the figure standing up opposite said loudly, "Okay, General Field, you wait a minute. ”
Hearing that the other party's tone was respectful, Field and Jonathan both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The wait was tormenting, and for five or six minutes, they stood there anxiously, waiting for the result of the message.
Fortunately, they didn't wait long before the roar of the engine could be heard in the sky.
After a total of ten minutes' drive, Adjutant Zuo seemed to be a hobby and seemed to be playing music, and he arrived again by helicopter.
"General Field, Mr. Jonathan......"
Adjutant Left crossed the defensive line and stretched out his hand to see the two of them one by one.
Field didn't say hello, and said straight to the point: "Adjutant Left." I am very anxious about the attack on General Dong, but we must catch the murderer and even the people behind the scenes. We are friends, forever friends, and today, we caught the murderer of General Dong. And the people who support them behind the scenes, fortunately, there is no state involved, it's just a personal act, you see, this is a confession. ”
Without hesitation, Adjutant Zuo took the thick stack of confessions, and roughly flipped through them and asked, "General Field, where are these people now?" ”
"Let's talk to Mr. Jonathan, it's all the credit of his men's patrol houses to crack these nests." Field rolled out Jonathan sideways. Stand on one side.
Jonathan stepped forward and said: "Adjutant Zuo, according to the clues, we have found the location where the attacker is hiding, and controlled all the people involved, but the attacker, those Japanese were all killed in the capture, and the bodies on the dock have also been confirmed." All of them are Japanese. Those who participated, and hid these Japanese, were controlled in their respective residences. We raided the interrogation, and we haven't had time to catch the patrol room, so let's come and inform your army first, and see how Adjutant Zuo handles these people. ”
Zuo Boyang groaned slightly and asked, "It's all under control?" ”
"Yes, Adjutant Left, all those involved are in control."
"Then is it convenient for me to bring people in and take them out of the concession?"
"Bringing people ......"
Jonathan hesitated.
Field picked up the conversation next to him and said, "Adjutant Left." How many people are you going to take to suppress these people, or ......"
"I don't bring much, I know that it is inconvenient to enter and exit the concession, I only bring five people to go, and the rest is still bothered by Mr. Jonathan to assist."
"Five ......"
Jonathan groaned. Nodding his head, "Okay, can you leave now?" ”
"Let's go now."
Zuo Boyang waved his hand and said.
With his gesture, a figure rushed out from behind the bunker, and when he got closer, he snapped upright: "Shanghai Garrison Division, three regiments and three battalions, one company, two platoon commanders Han Yue reports, Adjutant Zuo, please instruct!" ”
Zuo Boyang turned his head to look at the soldier who was speaking, turned back and said, "Drive a jeep and take four people into the concession with me, with a portable weapon." ”
"Yes!"
Han Yue experienced it again, turned his head and ran back in a standard posture, and soon, the bunker was moved out of a gap, and an American-made jeep drove over.
"Let's go, General Phil, Mr. Jonathan."
Zuo Boyang said as he got into the car.
With only five people, Field and Jonathan both breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to the car, Jonathan took the lead, Zuo Boyang was in the center, and behind the Field Palace, the three cars left the concession intersection at a gallop and roared into the concession.
Looking at the vigilant figure along the way, Zuo Boyang did not have a trace of expression on his face, until he arrived at Baoshun Commercial Bank, he did not have Zhuo Zheng Pan, just stared ahead.
After getting out of the car, Inspector Qiao was already waiting at the door, asking the police to get out of the way, leading Jonathan and the others into Baoshun Trading House.
Zuo Boyang was stunned when he saw several people covered in blood, turned his head to look at Jonathan, then at Field, and at the last moment, his eyes fell on Inspector Qiao.
Zuo Boyang's change made Jonathan and Field's hearts slip up, although Field said at the beginning that it was not linked to the country and was a personal act, but it did not say that these people were British.
Zuo Boyang's eyes turned around, and he paused for a few seconds, and asked in the midst of everyone's anxiety: "Are you Inspector Qiao?" ”
"Yes sir!"
Inspector Joe replied in a formal manner.
"Okay, the advance team has written down your favor, and there will be a reward when you turn back."
"No, no, no......"
Adjutant Zuo's sentence to the advance army was obviously frightened by Inspector Qiao, and it seemed that the person who came from Lu Dao was the advance army.
Zuo Boyang waved his hand to interrupt Inspector Qiao's prevarication and asked, "Inspector Qiao, are all the participants here in Baoshun Commercial Bank here?" ”
"It's all here, none of them have run, and they haven't even caught any more businesses, and those who know are here."
Inspector Qiao said in a regular manner, and his acting skills were quite good.
Zuo Boyang didn't look at Jonathan and Field again, and ordered loudly: "Platoon Commander Han, these are all accomplices and participants in the assassination of the captain, shoot them on the spot!" ”
"Yes!"
Han Yue shouted the order, and with a wave of his hand, the four soldiers stepped forward, and under the surprised gaze of Field and Jonathan, they shot the heads of the paralyzed Britons one by one, and Han Yue checked them one by one after the execution. Only then did he report: "Report to Adjutant Zuo, a total of eleven people, all killed!" ”
"Good! Get in! ”
Adjutant Left waved his hand and ordered.
After Han Yue took the people out of Baoshun to get into the car, Zuo Boyang turned his head to look at Jonathan and Field and said, "General Field, Mr. Jonathan, since you have already been interrogated." Zuo doesn't bother, but I don't know if it's inappropriate for Zuo to do this? ”
"I didn't ...... Didn't ......."
Although Field and Jonathan felt that Zuo Boyang was a little strong, they didn't say anything, taking away and killing were their business, but it just depended on whether there were any requirements and conditions in the follow-up, and that was the important thing.
"Alright, let's go to Huisi."
Zuo Boyang didn't ramble anymore. The first to leave the room, leaving behind a team of wide-eyed policemen, let the nervous moths I recognize and Jonathan, and walked out of Baoshun first.
Field and Jonathan looked at each other, not knowing what would happen to them after Zuo Boyang killed these people, but it was useless to think about anything at this time, and they delayed for a short time. Jonathan gave Inspector Joe an order to clean up the mess while following Field out of the Baoshun Trading Company.
Ten minutes. The group rushed to Hui Si Yang Company, and Zuo Boyang also saw the bloody Englishman there.
At this time, he didn't say anything more, asked the detective who handled the case, and knew who the participants were, and after being accomplice, he waved his hand and ordered. All of them were killed, and they also left a sentence to return the favor of the detective who handled the case here, and without stopping at all, they went straight to William's home.
In addition to William's family, he also had two bank colleagues in the same case, who were also beaten bloody. Collapsed on the ground and did not move.
Zuo Boyang still recovered and ordered to be killed, and he didn't even look at the corpses that were carried out and placed in the courtyard outside, as if he had come to carry out the execution.
After everyone was killed, Field and Jonathan saw Zuo Boyang turn around, and knew what the outcome of the matter would be, and it would be time to reveal.
Sure enough, Zuo Boyang looked at the person who came and smiled and said, "General Phil, we will always be friends, and so will Mr. Jonathan." ”
After a pause, in the gaze of the two of them, Zuo Boyang continued: "Since they are participants and the mastermind is Japanese, then Zuo will not be brought back for interrogation, and avoiding bringing them back will affect our friendship, but these people are destined not to live, otherwise Zuo will not be able to explain to the captain or the soldiers, but it is a bit abrupt, and I hope you two will forgive me." ”
"It's okay...... No problem......"
The two of them didn't know what the outcome of the road was, and they didn't know what the stubble was, so they continued to wait for Zuo Boyang's next words to see if the crisis could be resolved.
Zuo Boyang took a deep breath and said with a smile: "The Japanese, my advance army is already immortal, no matter what the captain is, the advance army is destined to destroy the Japanese, as for these, their death should be regarded as atonement, and I hope that the two of you will help clean up the aftermath, don't affect the friendship between the captain and you because of some shrimp." ”
At the moment when the two of them came to pick it up and smiled, obviously getting the signal of ice release, Zuo Boyang continued: "Zuo is grateful for everything you have done for the captain, thank you for everything you have done for the advance army, Zuo has written down this matter, the advance army has made a few hits, and there will be a report in the future, the blockade of the concession in the past two days has caused the same and I hope that the two will mediate, so as not to affect our right wing, I believe everyone can understand." ”
As he spoke, Zuo Boyang raised his hand and saluted for the first time to show his gratitude.
"No, no...... You're too polite Adjutant Left, this is our ......"
The two of them were a little flattered, and things passed so simply before they got to the ground first.
Zuo Boyang put down his hand and said: "Then I won't bother and do it, there are still many things that need to be dealt with by you, so I will leave and remove the blockade outside the concession by the way." ”
Zuo Boyang's voice fell, but Jonathan hurriedly said: "Adjutant Zuo, don't withdraw the troops for the time being, didn't General Smolley tell you, there is something going on in the concession at present, I don't know if Adjutant Zuo Dao can temporarily not remove the army blocking the concession." ”
"This ...... Is it appropriate? ”
Zuo Boyang looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"Suitable, suitable, as long as Adjutant Zuo doesn't mind, it should be fortified outside the concession, you see, ......"
"Good!"
Jonathan's voice fell, and Zuo Boyang said boldly: "Then Zuo will do the concession a favor, but this time he will let go of the opening, and the personnel who will be released on the other side of the passage, Zuo will not intercept it, let him leave the concession, is this good?" ”
Field understood what Jonathan meant, pondered for a moment and said: "Adjutant Zuo, I think Mr. Jonathan means to continue to maintain the existing blockade and not let anyone or anything leave the concession, I believe that the concession will give you and the advance army an explanation, you see, whether I have made it clear." ”
"That's right...... Good! The stables do this, we are friends, what do you need to say about this little thing, with a gesture, then I will not revoke the lockdown order and continue to maintain the status quo. (To be continued......)
