Curiosity, good things, and gossip are common problems among people. Not only Chinese people like these, but people all over the world like them.
There has been some rumors in the consulate recently. It is said that the new consul Hideto Hirokawa is a nobleman with a great background. This statement was recognized by many Japanese in the consulate.
After all, there are traces for everything. Nobles are in the minority after all, and most people in the consulate have gone up step by step. Some of them came to China to study and work in the early years, some of them were officers who changed careers, and some were dispatched from the mainland. Other related households, because they did not have strong backgrounds, were also assigned to work at the bottom level to shorten the time for promotion. A few idiots with strong backgrounds are just dawdling.
Although Hiroyuki Hideto has experience, he has no level. When leading some attachés, he did not actually demonstrate his ability to be a consul. Arrogance when interacting with other people can be felt by everyone. Such people are very familiar to the consulate personnel. Because those idiots who were dawdling in the past were like this when they first came here.
The most important thing is Eiichi Iwai's good attitude towards Hideto Hirokawa. Japan is also very hierarchical. Without other backgrounds, it is difficult to get a good face in front of Shangguan. Therefore, it is worth pondering why Eiichi Iwai, who is ranked high among all senior Japanese officials in Shanghai and even in China, treats Hirokawa Hideto differently.
So gradually, various rumors accompanying Hideto Hiroyuki became popular and became the hottest topic in the consulate recently.
Eiichi Iwai naturally knew about these rumors. He specially called Nobuya Fujiwara over to give him some advice, telling him to keep a low profile, be friendly to colleagues, and humbly learn and ask for advice on things he didn’t understand.
Of course Fujiwara Shinya also listened, but it was of no use as the news had already dissipated. He was very cautious at first, because Wang Yan reminded him before, and Iwai Eiichi also said similar things, and he was also afraid of being killed. After all, he was born in the Fujiwara clan. If he had no ambition, he would at least be happy for the rest of his life.
However, after he was careful for a while and found nothing unusual, and no one wanted to harm him, he relaxed his vigilance, and the scope of his activities began to expand, no longer limited to Hongkou.
The most prosperous areas in Shanghai are the Public Concession and the French Concession. This area has been developed for many years and has become more complete. If you want to eat, drink, whore, gamble, and smoke, you will definitely find a place. The same is true. Depending on the conduct of the Kuomintang, even if a full-scale war had not started and Japan had not occupied Shanghai, the Great Shanghai Plan that the Kuomintang wanted to implement would still be impossible to achieve.
This is a day in mid-December, and the Shanxi Incident has not yet come to an end. Walking on the street, you will hear people discussing and cursing the Kuomintang from time to time.
Wearing a well-fitting suit, gold-rimmed glasses, a windbreaker, and a hat on his head, Fujiwara Shinya looks more mature, like a talent who has returned from the West. Xiaohe walked out of the apartment.
He has been in a good mood recently and has nothing to worry about. If he had to say something, it was that everyone in the consulate was guessing what his background was, and even his reputation had spread outside, which made him very irritated. But he is still good at work. His subordinates and other staff members he needs to interact with all recognize his work ability, which gives him a sense of accomplishment. How can you not relax and celebrate when you have a sense of accomplishment?
Although he came to China three years ago, he has been traveling around. At this time, China was very poor and there were only a few big cities. Although he had good food and drink, and was protected by his men, the environment was not good, and it was not as prosperous as Shanghai Beach.
He originally liked women very much, but the last night when Eiichi Iwai organized a welcome and introduced him to others, he saw Wang Yan's power, which cast a shadow on his heart. As a result, when he reached a critical moment, he remembered the sound coming from next door that night, and compared it with himself. The gap was too big, which made him lose his sexual interest, at least recently.
So recently he has become obsessed with gambling, and he has no shortage of money. After all, where is his identity, and for people like them, the most indispensable thing is money. After the welcome party that night, all the participating Chinese people, including Wang Yan, gave him some money afterwards. Only Wang Yan gave him a lot of fine Western wine.
He had already made an appointment with his new Japanese friend, the son of an army lieutenant general who was garrisoning Shanghai. They made an appointment to go gambling in the public concession. He doesn't care about winning or losing, he just likes the excitement of an undecided outcome. After all, how much money can you lose? Even if he loses nothing, he can get back double the amount on the same day, and still risk his life.
He got into the car driven by his subordinates and met up with his new friends who had been waiting for him on the way. The two cars crossed the Suzhou River one after another and entered the public concession.
Just at this moment, the tram dinged and passed on the track. The two cars parked there one behind the other, waiting for the tram to pass.
It was also at this time that among the crowd walking on the street, eight tightly covered people walked out of the crowd from the left and right sides of the car.
As they walked, they opened their coats, revealing black firearms hidden in their clothes.
Fujiwara Shinya had been sitting in the car looking bored at the crowd outside. He watched helplessly as those damn Chinese took out their guns and pointed the black muzzles at him in the car window.
His mind went blank and he didn't know what to do. But at the same time, great fear arose in his heart, causing him to lose control of his body in an instant. As soon as the bladder was loosened, a stream of hot water came out.
But he hasn't felt the heat between his legs yet because it's too late. In his eyes, the black hole of the gun aimed at him had begun to spit out tongues of fire.
He saw in a trance that a bullet spun out of the chamber, penetrated the glass of the car window, and headed straight for him. During his short but evil-ridden last period, his consciousness seemed to return to the woman who impressed him so much three years ago, holding a submachine gun and a wanton smile on her face as she looked at her suddenly. He shot him, leaving bloody holes all over his body...
There were six people in the two cars, and the eight gunmen fired bullets at various angles in two directions. The six unsuspecting Japanese were immediately beaten into pieces. It wasn't over yet. Two more people took out two grenades and threw them through the smashed car window. After two explosions, the battle ended completely.
When the first shot rang out, the crowd, who had extensive experience in street gunfights to save their lives, had already shouted and fled in all directions. Only when they were far away from the scene did they hide, hide in the corner, and peek out secretly.
The eight gunmen confirmed that all the people in the car were dead. They hid their guns in their clothes, hunched their backs slightly, trotted in all directions, ran into the crowd of spectators, and disappeared.
After a while, with the sound of a whistle, the patrolman from the public concession ran over...
"Mr. Iwai, I heard that Mr. Fujiwara was killed in the public concession in the morning. I came here to see you. What a pity. I used to say that I would go with Mr. Fujiwara to have fun. Unexpectedly, it has only been more than half a month. Missing, something like this happened. It’s really..."
In the Iwai Mansion, Wang Yan said this to the expressionless Iwai Eiichi as if he was really sorry.
Minglou, who stayed aside, tried his best to reduce his presence and quietly watched Wang Yan's performance. He used to be a little complacent. After all, he was wandering among many forces, stealing information, and secretly leading. With the development of some things, I feel a sense of accomplishment. But since Wang Yan found out, he corrected his mentality and became more cautious.
Now watching Wang Yan perform in front of him, he had to admit that in terms of acting, even a professional undercover agent like him couldn't compare. If he hadn't known that it was Wang Yan who suggested killing Fujiwara Shinya, and if he hadn't known that it was him who secretly spread the identity of Fujiwara Shinya and provided information to Chen Gongshu, he would not have doubted that this matter had anything to do with Wang Yan.
Minglou couldn't see it, and neither could Eiichi Iwai. He was very confident and could identify the regret in Wang Yan's eyes. He never doubted Wang Yan's loyalty to the Japanese, because he was certain that Wang Yan had no loyalty to their Japanese Empire. After all, no one can be loyal to those who invade their homeland. He knew, however, that the reason why Wang Yan did not leave China was that it was difficult to leave his homeland and he did not want to leave Shanghai.
But he was also convinced that Wang Yan would not cause trouble for himself. It was too late to hide and he wished he could stay eight hundred meters away from the Japanese. The reason for coming today is probably because I was afraid that he would think too much, so I came here to express my gratitude.
So he waved his hand: "Wang Sang, we have known each other for almost a year, how could I not know who you are. Put your heart in my heart, I will not think that you want to harm Fujiwara. You are Shanghai Tang There are local snakes out there who know more about something than we do, tell us what you know.”
Wang Yan nodded: "The first time I heard the news, I called the police station where the incident occurred. The detective there told me that they were eight well-trained killers who acted swiftly. Using American submachine guns, they attacked Mr. Fujiwara in the car and another person who accompanied Mr. Fujiwara out for fun. They poured out all the bullets in a short period of time and finally threw two American-made grenades. They were onlookers when they first visited No one has seen the killer's face, let alone their whereabouts.
With such equipment and such well-trained operators, I think there is a high probability that it was made by people from the Shanghai Military Station. The Red Party is relatively poor and they do not have such weapons. Moreover, Chen Gongshu, the new operations section chief of the Military Reunion Shanghai Station, has been in Shanghai for several months and has achieved nothing except killing a Chinese inspector general of the French Concession Political Department. Dai Yunong was probably dissatisfied, forcing Chen Gongshu to take action.
I have heard before that there is some criticism about Mr. Fujiwara's identity in the consulate. It may be that Chen Gongshu heard the news, so he finally chose Mr. Fujiwara as his target. In Chinese terms, regardless of whether there is grass or not, first take a rake and kill Mr. Fujiwara to see the reaction.
Mr. Iwai, Mr. Fujiwara is a member of the Fujiwara clan. Now that something has happened to him under your hands, they will not..."
He talked about a lot of things that the Japanese had already known, but he basically didn't say anything, but he showed his concern for the matter very well. Finally, he asked about the impact of this matter on Eiichi Iwai, and even expressed his concern for Eiichi Iwai. With the worried expression on his face and the worry in his eyes, who would doubt that he was inciting the military commander to assassinate Fujiwara Nobuya.
Eiichi Iwai shook his head, but couldn't help but sigh: "There will always be some trouble, and there is nothing we can do about it. Nobuya, after all, he is still too young. I have repeatedly told him to keep a low profile. , to be humble, maybe it was because he had lived a wealthy life for so long that he was unable to open his eyes and look down. His death was not due to others, but to his arrogance."
He was really worried, and this was an unforeseen disaster. It is true that his status is very high, and it is true that the Fujiwara clan is not as prosperous as it used to be, but that does not mean that he can disrespect the Fujiwara clan. People have just absorbed experience and lessons and are better at hiding them.
Although I wouldn't blame him too much, Fujiwara Nobuya died at his hands. Not to mention other revenge, at least he had lost the Fujiwara family's friendship.
Without dwelling on this topic, he raised his head with fierce eyes: "You are right, it was the people from the military command who did it. Before you came, I told them to use greater force to attack people from both parties. .”
Seeing Wang Yan lowering his head and staring at the floor without speaking, he waved his hand unhappily: "Okay, Wang Sang, I already know your intention. You and Ming Sang can leave first. Ming Sang, don't forget I have fulfilled the tasks assigned to me, and within this period of time, I want to see results.”
Minglou stood up and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Iwai, then Minglou will go back to work."
Wang Yan also responded, and the two left the Iwai Mansion together.
"Mr. Wang is really good at acting. If I hadn't known about it in advance, I would never have thought that this matter had anything to do with you. In fact, it's the same. Eiichi Iwai has no doubts about you at all. It's amazing, it's amazing."
"Is life like a play? If you don't have good acting skills, how can you survive in the world?"
"But from what I saw just now, Iwai Eiichi's reaction didn't seem to have a big impact on him?"
"He has reached this position, and Fujiwara has not been so domineering. The impact on him is not now, but in the future. As far as I know, he will be the next consul general. But after what happened this time, As long as Fujiwara makes a little effort, he will be the deputy consul general for who knows how many years. He may even be transferred out of Shanghai and transferred to other poor and poor places. These are all unknown. How specific, It still depends on whether Eiichi Iwai’s energy is enough.”
"It's better for him to leave. This man gives me a terrible feeling. Do you know what he wants to do? He is studying how to castrate the Chinese people ideologically."
"It's a very good idea. It's up to you whether it can be implemented. As far as I know, the Red Party has more hard bones, but there are also soft bones. I hope you are a strong person, but don't let me down." Wang Yan didn't want to tell Ming Lou was discussing what was going on here. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's not good for us to talk here for too long. We'll contact you later if we have anything to do."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, walk slowly."
Minglou went to close the rear door for Wang Yan, smiled and waved goodbye. He knew what Wang Yan meant, which was to release goodwill in response to his revealing his identity. The current situation is that Wang Yan knows that he is the military commander and a member of the Red Party. He knows that it was Wang Yan who encouraged the military commander to kill Fujiwara Nobuya. Although this cannot be regarded as a handle, even if one day he is arrested and confesses, it will not cause substantial harm to Wang Yan, but it will make the Japanese cast suspicious eyes on Wang Yan.
For people like Wang Yan, once they are suspected by the Japanese, they are basically close to death. Because you have to be careful in everything you do, you can't let go of anything, and you have to deal with being framed by others. If you can escape for a while, you will never escape.
He felt that Wang Yan was probably too lazy to do it this time and asked him to do it for him. After all, with Wang Yan's strength, he couldn't stand Fujiwara Shinya, so he could just find someone to kill Fujiwara Shinya and pretend it was a military unification operation. Anyway, the agents of the two parties have taken a lot of blame in Shanghai, so there is no problem at all. So just because I was too lazy to do it, and because I wanted to give him some response, I gave him the best of both worlds. The city was too deep for him to see through...
In fact, Minglou thought very correctly. Wang Yan just didn't want to take action, so he just relied on the military commander to do it. If he took action, he would not be able to send his men out, he would have to do it himself. And his assassination style is very distinctive, that is, killing people silently at night, so Rite will naturally think that it was him who did it. To turn around and target them would be very bad for the Red Party.
Although the enemy agents have never relaxed their actions against the Shanghai underground party, when this incident happened, there was always a primary target. At this time, even if the two parties are truly inseparable and working together, they will always be divided between you and me. Therefore, in comparison, it is better to let enemy agents target the army. This has nothing to do with anything else, it is just a matter of camp.
What's more, the Shanxi Incident has not yet concluded, and the two parties are still fighting...
However, regarding the Shanxi Incident, he received a commendation from his superiors when he contacted him by phone two days ago. At the same time, Li Zhaonian also gave him a reply. He said that he had found out the cause of the previous incident in detail, severely criticized Li Zhaonian, and asked him to relax and continue his good work. He did not mention other things, such as his subordinate Gu Yongcheng.
This is of course normal. Although they are all secret fronts, after all, the job responsibilities are different. Where can we expose our comrades casually? This is to protect each other.
He is very important in his own right, and Gu Yongcheng should be able to recruit a group of people. If they inform each other of their identities, if they are arrested or fail to hold on, it will harm both parties and destroy the organization's plan.
If we don't expose it now, when Gu Yongcheng really has an accident, as he said, Wang Yan doesn't know anything, so he just throws him away...
Fujiwara Shinya's death did not have a major impact on the situation. It just made the Japanese feel disgusted. The only one who suffered losses was Iwai Eiichi.
Wang Yan returned to his original stable life.
His current basic level has come to an end and there is no way for him to develop further.
In the patrol room, he, the chief inspector, was already the highest a Chinese could achieve. All that was left was to win over other detectives, unify their attitude, establish their right to speak, and become the de facto chief Chinese inspector.
At the Youth League, he couldn't move. It wasn't time to move yet, and he was still secretly poking and infiltrating.
In terms of business, China is only so big and can only absorb so much goods. In addition, the current situation in the East and the West is not very good, and it has become saturated. The only thing that helped him achieve a breakthrough was penicillin. These were war necessities, and he sold them to the Soviet Union and Germany. At present, other countries have not yet developed it, so it is very easy and enjoyable to make money.
At this point, what else could he do if he didn't enjoy it every day? He just wants to keep a low profile, not to let the Japanese study him without any problems, and to keep the fight away, which is good.
The struggle was far away from him, but it was always going on.
In January, a special train carrying an inspection delegation of Japanese military officers was bombed, killing everyone on the train.
On the night of the Spring Festival in February, a gunfight broke out in a Western restaurant on Xiafei Road in the French Concession...
