"I know you won't remember it wrong. From the moment I saw this box, I knew it was not a real account book."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "You don't even think about it, how can those people take such an important account book out of Chongqing smoothly for you?"
those people?
What those people?
Meng Shaoyuan ignored whether they could understand: "In the letter that the mysterious man gave you, he also specifically told you to bring your account book. Life-saving charm? I think that is your life-saving charm!"
"This, what does this mean?"
Han Zhengda was completely confused.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't answer him at all: "You said you have a good memory?"
"Yes."
"How many years of accounts can you remember?"
"More than half." Han Zhengda hesitated for a moment: "Maybe I can't remember the specific time and the amount of money each person received, but the specific transaction volume and transaction method are all in my mind."
"What about the last year?"
"Then I remember it more clearly." Han Zhengda's answer was very sure: "I remember more than 90% of it clearly."
"Write everything down for you, as much as you can remember!" Meng Shaoyuan's expression suddenly became extremely serious: "Don't hide anything. If I find out that you are deceiving me, I guarantee that you will regret why you are living in this world!"
…
"What's going on?" Wu Jingyi asked.
"Someone deliberately let them go." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Not only did they let them go, but they also decided to deal with them in Shanghai."
"how do you know?"
"Do you remember that telegram?"
"Just checking, Han Zhengda, deputy director of the Commercial Department of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, has absconded, and his destination may be Shanghai or Hong Kong! As soon as the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau discovers it, he will immediately arrest him, interrogate him on the spot, and find out the whereabouts of the Ministry of Economic Affairs' account books!"
This is the entire content of that telegram!
"The key point of this sentence is two sentences, interrogation on the spot!" Meng Shaoyuan said thoughtfully: "Interrogating what? A major parity case? A deputy director of the Department of Commerce, what can we interrogate? We in Shanghai District have never been involved in a major parity case. You don’t know the specific situation and the inside story, so you don’t immediately escort him back to Chongqing, but instead have to interrogate him on the spot in Shanghai?”
Wu Jingyi somewhat understood.
"Check the whereabouts of the Ministry of Economic Affairs' account books. What are you looking for?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "Why are these account books always in Han Zhengda's hands? During the period when he was detained and released on bail, the Ministry of Economic Affairs' account books never existed. Got caught? I don't believe that Han Zhengda can bring out so many account books safely!"
"I understand." Wu Jingyi suddenly said: "The telegram never stated that Han Zhengda was to be escorted back to Chongqing! This is to..."
At this point, she paused before saying: "This is to keep Han Zhengda in Shanghai!"
"What you said is too vague. You want us to deal with Han Zhengda and his wife directly in Shanghai." Meng Shaoyuan said solemnly:
"This was a trap from beginning to end. I was originally wondering how Han Zhengda and his wife could leave Chongqing so easily under the surveillance of the military commander? Our people deliberately let them go.
The money and route were all arranged for them. When they arrived in Shanghai, based on their experience, it would be too easy for us to catch them. So, from the first minute they decided to escape, they were already dead! "
"The one who can do this." Wu Jingyi couldn't help but lower her voice: "Only Dai..."
She didn't dare to say any more.
"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan helped her speak out: "Other than Mr. Dai, no one else can or dares to do this. Mr. Dai knows that I will understand the meaning of the telegram and will leave Han Zhengda and his wife in Shanghai. Yes Stay in Shanghai forever.
Before that, Mr. Dai had already found Han Zhengda's account books and exchanged a batch of fake ones. There are so many ledgers that are exactly the same in appearance, and the contents inside are also similar, except that the core time and quantity are forged.
Who else but our military commanders can accomplish this in the shortest time? Han Zhengda would not carefully check these account books on his way to escape. This is a common problem among people! The more familiar something is, the less likely it is to examine it carefully! "
Wu Jingyi asked again: "But why did Mr. Dai do this?"
"Two reasons, I guess."
Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze: "Han Zhengda knows too many inside stories, and they are all evidence of government officials' corruption in the parity case. He can no longer live in this world.
Some high-level figures wanted Mr. Dai to take Han Zhengda's life, but Mr. Dai knew the stakes. If you kill him, all the blame will be placed on Mr. Dai, and he will become the target of public criticism.
Han Zhengda also has a backer. Minister of Economic Affairs Weng Wenhao is not an ordinary person. He is in charge of the important economic lifeline of the National Government. Even the chairman of the committee is polite to him. "
On December 30 last year, Weng Wenhao was so angry that he decided to resign from all his posts and resign from his post because all his major subordinates "lost their freedom" and had "nothing to do". From the next two days, I will no longer go to the Ministry of Economic Affairs to work.
At the same time, he also stopped attending regular meetings of the Executive Yuan in protest.
That evening, Weng Wenhao went to see Kong Xiangxi again and reported his resignation.
On the 31st, Weng Wenhao wrote another letter to the chairman of the committee, requesting to resign, and petitioning to release subordinates from the Fair Price Purchase and Sales Office and other departments first, and to dispatch managers from the Ministry of Economic Affairs to participate in the inspection of the Fair Price Fund.
Under Weng Wenhao's insistence, the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress could only order that except for Zhang Yuanshan and Shou Moqing's "temporary release," the other eight people could be released.
On January 5, 1941, Weng Wenhao met with the Chairman and submitted his resignation in person.
But the chairman of the committee told him that you have always been "fair and honest, and have a good reputation" and cannot be allowed to resign.
Weng Wenhao was helpless and had no choice but to return to the Ministry of Economic Affairs and continue working.
The Chairman knows that the Ministry of Economic Affairs cannot do without Weng Wenhao!
"If you kill Han Zhengda, Weng Wenhao will never be able to pass that test!"
Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "If Weng Wenhao persists in this matter, even the chairman of the committee will not be able to speak for Mr. Dai. At the same time, the investigation of the parity case will become more complicated because of Han Zhengda's death.
Mr. Dai knew this very well. On the other hand, someone was putting pressure on him to get rid of Han Zhengda and destroy all the evidence in the big case of parity. There is someone on the other side who wants to save Han Zhengda from death. What should we do? Han Zhengda can only die in Shanghai! "
Wu Jingyi was frightened when she heard this.
Han Zhengda died in Shanghai and had nothing to do with Dai Li. Moreover, Han Zhengda "fleeed in fear of crime." It is understandable that the military commander in Shanghai did not know the truth and "accidentally" killed him.
"What's more?"
"One more thing, which is even more terrifying, is that all the real ledgers are now in the hands of Mr. Dai!"
