Colonel Shimizu and Masago Yoshimoto flushed with excitement, and the film was developed. The content was the film of the foreign minister's visit to Germany. They could finally explain it to the superiors.
As for the other film, if they can't find it on Nishizono Jiro, then they will go to the consulate to get Wilson back.
Shi Hashimoto of the investigation team said that the murderer of Jiro Nishizono was most likely that bastard British agent Wilson. Well, if he doesn't confess, he will be chopped into pieces.
"The investigation team of your special high school class is very capable, especially Hashimoto Shi. Let's reward him after this incident." Colonel Shimizu was in a good mood and gave Yoshimoto Masago some suggestions.
"Shimizu-kun is right, I will definitely reward the investigation team and Hashimoto Shi." Yoshimoto Shogo's eyes narrowed as he smiled. His subordinates will be proud of him.
An hour later, the forensic doctor came over and reported that there was no other film on Jiro Nishizono.
After getting the answer, Colonel Shimizu called the consulate without saying a word and asked them to send Wilson back immediately. He also warned the consulate extremely sternly that if the other film could not be found, the consulate would be fully responsible for the matter.
The people at the consulate were in trouble. Their original intention was to use Wilson to negotiate terms with the British. Now it's better to get back a big thunder. You must know that Wilson left the Baisheng Hotel. God knows whether he took another piece of film. Put it in your stomach, didn’t you see that the Russian Yaroslav did that?
…
Liu Changchuan's heart beat faster and he flew up with excitement. He had already learned from Xiaozhe Zheng's Second Division that the film on Nishizono Jiro's body was not the film from Jinling, and he was completely relieved.
"Xiao Zhejun, do you think it is necessary for us to continue investigating in the hotel?" Liu Changchuan and Xiao Zhe Zhenger were sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor chatting.
"Of course we have to investigate, but it's just a question of whether the consulate will hand over Wilson." Xiaozhe Zhenger handed Liu Changchuan a cigarette and shook his head.
"That's it. The consulate shouldn't be so overbearing. If they don't hand over Wilson, they will bear full responsibility for the loss of the film."
"We don't have Wilson and there's no need, and there's no point in continuing to investigate in the hotel."
Liu Changchuan couldn't understand the consulate's thinking. If they really didn't hand over Wilson, it would be a good thing. At least the hotel guests and service staff could save their lives.
Once it is confirmed that the film is in Wilson's place, unless the dispatched army or a big figure in the May agency orders the killing of hotel personnel to keep the secret.
Otherwise, neither Masago Yoshimoto nor Colonel Shimizu would dare to go on a killing spree. It's not that they have compassion in their hearts. The main reason is that this is Shanghai, a city with many concessions. Once this matter spreads, the local big shots will do it for the sake of face and for the sake of being a powerful country in the world. He will definitely refuse to acknowledge his reputation, but someone will definitely be found internally to take the blame.
Liu Changchuan's idea was absolutely correct. Masago Yoshimoto and Colonel Shimizu had originally intended to request orders from the dispatched troops once they could not find the film, secretly disposed of the hotel staff, and accidentally caused a fire. However, the film was found and all the blame was passed on to the British agents. Wilson immediately reassured them that they did not have to worry about being responsible for the incident, and the scapegoat turned to the consulate.
…
At noon on the second day, the consulate still couldn't bear the pressure. Of course, it wanted to get rid of Wilson and send him back to the Baisheng Hotel.
Everyone in the conference room, including several big bosses, was in a good mood.
Masago Yoshimoto smiled and drank a cup of tea and called Liu Changchuan to him: "Liu Sang, you know English. Let's have a good talk with Wilson later and ask him to talk about the other film."
Colonel Qingshui lit a cigarette and tapped the table. He looked at Liu Changchuan with a deep look and asked, "Liu Sang, one film has been found. Where do you think Wilson put the other film?"
"Ah this?"
Liu Changchuan secretly glanced at the expressions of Masago Yoshimoto and Colonel Shimizu, and tentatively replied: "Your Majesty Colonel, I think Wilson must have put the film in his body and taken it out. If nothing goes wrong, the consulate in Shanghai should have his contact person. , the consulate may... have a mole, right?"
"Liu Sang, you are a smart man. I believe you will get the whereabouts of the film from Wilson." Colonel Shimizu laughed.
He likes smart people. The matter of the film is already clear. They are unable to find the other film. They must put the blame on the consulate in Shanghai and put an end to the missing film incident.
…
In the interrogation room, Wilson chuckled when he saw Liu Changchuan. This was the second time he saw this unfamiliar acquaintance in the interrogation room.
"Mr. Wilson, I believe you should already know the inside story at the consulate. There is no need to sentence you. Of course, the premise is that you recount the process of taking the film again. For example, how did you get the film from the cleaner? This makes me very curious." Liu Changchuan was very direct, and Wilson had no choice. If he didn't confess, he would be beaten to death.
Wilson felt extremely complicated and regretful. He shouldn't have killed the people in the special high school class. Even if he did, he shouldn't have put the gun on the fifth floor, which immediately made the Japanese suspect him. What's the use.
"Mr. Liu, I will be honest, but I also have a request. No, it should be said to be a request. I want to see someone from the British Consulate in Shanghai." Wilson looked at Liu Changchuan expectantly.
"I promise you." Liu Changchuan signaled to Wilson that he could speak.
Wilson looked up at the gray and blood-stained ceiling and said with a depressed expression: "I personally came down from the 5th floor to meet the janitor for the film. I was prepared to save some time. The janitor and I each took a piece of film."
"I didn't expect that the cleaner died, and his film was missing. As for the film in my hand... Mr. Liu, you have already investigated clearly, so I don't need to say more."
Wilson's words made Liu Changchuan finally understand the whole process of the loss of film in the consulate. The cleaner and Wilson each held a piece of film. The Russian Yaroslav killed the cleaner and gave the film in his hand to Xu Ping, and Xu Ping The film was safe and was actually placed in his room. What a coincidence and great luck.
As for the film in Wilson's hand, needless to say, Shiichi Hashimoto solved the case directly through reasoning and obtained the film related to the foreign minister's visit to Germany.
But the problem is that they don't know that the film is in their hands. In addition, Masago Yoshimoto and Colonel Shimizu obviously don't want to continue looking for the film because of the pressure from the dispatched troops, and they may be exhausted!
Therefore, Wilson had to take the blame to the consulate and admit that both films were taken away by him. This was also Colonel Shimizu's intention to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
