In front of everyone, a magical magic happened.
Transform into a living person!
The entire dock was surrounded by Japanese Marines, military police, and spies.
It is inevitable to sneak in one or two military commanders.
But kidnapping Roligani and his wife in front of so many people?
How can it be!
But the problem is, this kind of thing happened.
Roligani and his wife disappeared.
Also missing was Mr. Medgen, one of the members of the visiting delegation.
How did they disappear?
How did the military agents kidnap them?
There's no way of knowing.
However, Matsudaira Tetsuhiro's anger was completely difficult to express in words.
"Trash, it's all trash!"
There he roared: "Do you know the importance of this visiting delegation? Do you know the influence of General Roligani in Italy? It's terrible, it's terrible!"
"Please calm down, Lord Matsudaira."
Minister Tani looked at Kenji Doihara: "Your Excellency Doihara, what is going on?"
Kenji Doihara was also completely confused: "I don't know, but I can be sure that even if the military agents kidnapped Mr. and Mrs. Roligani, they must still be in the Japanese-controlled area!"
"So, what are you waiting for?"
…
A car was speeding there.
At this moment, the Japanese had discovered that Roligani and his wife were missing.
It took some time from the chaos on the dock to when they discovered that Roligani was missing.
This period of time can be used to evacuate.
In front of the car, an American flag hangs.
The car of the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai!
…
"asshole!"
Kenji Doihara finally couldn't help but get angry: "Who can tell me how people are kidnapped?"
No one can answer.
Unless the military commander really has a magician.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Agency."
It was Koichi Hahara who spoke first: "I carefully checked the environment of the dock at that time. It was an area completely controlled by us. The distance from welcoming the delegation to welcoming the crowd was twenty meters. Therefore, the man who committed suicide with a grenade was The attacker only ran a short distance before being shot dead.
I asked many people present at the time. As soon as the suicide man rushed out, he threw the grenade before he was shot to death. Judging from the position where he threw it, he chose it well. The resulting explosion and the ensuing chaos allowed our people to form a blind spot for observation in a short period of time. If you want to kidnap, there is only such a short chance.
The closest people to the delegation, apart from us, are the reporters. My assumption is that the Chinese kidnapped Roligani, his wife, and the British man named Medgen. There must be people from the military command among the reporters. They assisted in the kidnapping case, and then when we appeared to observe In a blind spot, he blended into the chaotic crowd and disappeared.
Of course, to do this, there must be a prerequisite, that is, the three kidnapped people did not struggle at all! "
Doihara Kenji finally calmed down.
Without any struggle, just let yourself be kidnapped?
This is not impossible.
"You mean, Roligani is very cooperative with the kidnappers?"
Doihara Kenji murmured.
"There is only one possibility." Koichi Hahara said: "Three people, a large number of people, any struggle and resistance will make it impossible for the kidnappers to succeed in such a short period of time. It is a fleeting opportunity."
"Absurd, so ridiculous."
Kenji Doihara said repeatedly: "Roligani and his wife have never been to China. It is the first time for the delegation to come to Shanghai. Will they cooperate with the kidnappers? Take the initiative to be kidnapped? What do you think you think?" Is it credible? Could someone from the military command go to Italy and ask them to cooperate in a kidnapping?"
"Then there is no way to explain the kidnapping."
Hahara Koichi was also thinking hard there: "Reporters, in addition to reporters from Japanese newspapers, many are reporters from foreign newspapers. They were invited by us. The military commander bribed one of them... I think only the ones who can do this are Meng Shaoyuan must have such ability..."
It's amazing.
If his assumption was correct, how did Meng Shaoyuan convince Roligani, Qiaobrina, and Medgen to voluntarily be kidnapped?
He has never seen Roligani at all.
etc.
There is one person who may be the most suspicious.
Hahara Koichi said to himself:
"Madigan!"
"What did you say?"
"To successfully plan this incident, a key figure is needed. Could it be Medgen? Otherwise, why would he be kidnapped together with Roli Garni and Jobrina?"
…
"This is the U.S. Consulate's car, and this is my ID."
The Japanese lieutenant carefully checked the document: "Who is in the car?"
"The American Consul and his wife."
"Okay, you can leave."
The driver stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
"Lieutenant, phone."
The lieutenant took the call: "What? Stop all vehicles? Double check? Okay, I get it."
He put down the phone and yelled, "Stop that car."
That's too late.
The U.S. Consulate's car has roared into the public concession...
…
"Check, investigate Medgen's identity immediately. The problem must lie with this person!"
…
Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of tea.
"The man who committed suicide, named Feng Zhicai, was terminally ill and could not live long, so he committed suicide voluntarily and caused chaos in the dock. His family could get a large sum of money."
"Oh, take good care of his family."
"yes."
Just as he was talking, the door opened and Wu Jingyi walked in: "The guests are all here."
"good!"
Three people walked in.
Head of the international visiting delegation, retired Italian general Roligani.
His wife, Jobrina.
And that Englishman Madgan.
"Mr. Roligani, welcome."
Meng Shaoyuan stood up with a smile: "I don't know Latin, I can only speak English."
Qiao Brina spoke English very well and acted as a temporary translator: "Sir, my husband said, are you Mr. Meng Shaoyuan? You are really a bold person."
"On behalf of Shanghai and the National Government, I would like to extend a warm welcome to Mr. General and his wife for their friendly visit to Shanghai." Meng Shaoyuan shook hands with Roligani, and then kissed the back of Qiaobrina's hand:
"Ma'am, your beauty is truly astonishing."
"Thank you for the compliment, Meng. Ah, I heard that everyone calls you Charles?"
"Yes, Charles Meng, you can also call me Charles. I hope you and your husband can leave a pleasant memory in Shanghai."
After Meng Shaoyuan finished speaking, he looked at Medgen.
Medgen was smiling back at him.
Meng Shaoyuan stepped forward and gave him a big hug.
"I miss you, Meng." Madgen said while hugging.
"I think you miss my money?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "Thank you, my dearest Daniel!"
