George, the boss of Fort London Company, and several shareholders were kidnapped overnight. The news spread throughout the concession early in the morning. By the time Tangcheng received the call from Hans, it was said that the news had spread even to the Chinese District. "Don, you know what! That bastard George is in bad luck now! I don't know who it was. Last night, he went to the place where George and the others usually gathered, and kidnapped George and several shareholders of his company. I heard Said the safe that George hid in that house was also opened.”
Hans was so well-informed that Tang Cheng was secretly shocked. How come Hans even knew about the safe. "How do you think I knew about the safe? That was said by a shareholder of the London Fort Company himself. I had an inside line in the patrol room in the concession, so naturally I knew about it right away." Hans, who was asked by Tang Cheng, said on the phone The other end chuckled repeatedly, laughing and saying that George, the damn fat man, was bleeding profusely now.
Tang Cheng sneaked back to his residence last night and fell asleep immediately without carefully counting the money and belongings he got from George. When he received a call from Hans, he felt a little itchy in his heart. But because of Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jiang, he suppressed the impulse in his heart and just had the patience to play cards with them for fun. What happened last night was only heard by more people, and the actual inside story was only spread within a small area, including the Special High-tech Section and the Intelligence Division.
Bai Zhanshan knew about this because the drug warehouse belonged to the London Fort Company, and Tecko was paying attention to this matter only because Tegoko was planning to cooperate with the London Fort Company. "Your Excellency Major, according to our investigation, this London Fort Company has been secretly engaged in the business of buying and selling tobacco and arms. India is a colony of the British. When buying and selling Indian tobacco, the British have an advantage that no one else can match. Especially this London company. The Fort Company has a very close interest relationship with the senior British military officials stationed in India."
While Tang Cheng was accompanying Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jiang to play cards and have fun with each other, Te High-Tech was already secretly investigating what happened last night. The person in charge of the matter was a major named Nakamura Eiji. Eiji Nakamura is half a China expert. Before being transferred to Shanghai, he was responsible for clearing out Soviet Communist spies in Manchuria. He can be regarded as an outstanding counter-espionage talent. When he first came to Shanghai and was entrusted with important tasks, Nakamura Eiji was not as excited as others imagined.
"Kono-kun, please let the London Castle Company matters go for a while. How did you go about the things I asked you to do?" Nakamura Eiji, who had a knife-like face, looked like he would not let strangers in. He looked at He is very difficult to get along with, but towards the people close to him, Nakamura Eiji looks very kind. The muscular man called Kono-kun by Eiji Nakamura was named Koichi Kono. After Nakamura Eiji was transferred to Shanghai, he was assigned an assistant by the Shanghai Headquarters of THT. This man knew the situation in the Shanghai Concession very well.
On the second day after Nakamura Eiji was transferred to Shangga, he gave Konoichi a task. Nakamura Eiji, who had served in Manchuria for many years, was familiar with the effect of using China to control China, so he asked Konoichi, who was familiar with the situation in Shanghai, to contact him secretly. Green Gang. Borrowing the Green Gang's all-pervasive network in Shanghai to help him investigate the anti-Japanese forces and intelligence network in Shanghai was a plan that Nakamura Eiji made after careful consideration on the ship to Shanghai.
"Your Excellency, Major, I have sent a greeting card according to the rules of the Qing Gang, but there has been no response from the Qing Gang. I'm afraid they don't want to have a relationship with us." Kono Kyouichi's face looked a little ugly. Although Japan's sphere of influence in Shanghai is expanding day by day, the Qinggang is the local snake in Shanghai. Let alone the Japanese, the Qinggang will not even take the Concession Industry Bureau seriously.
Kono Koichi's hesitation made Nakamura Eiji realize that there must be something he couldn't say, so his assistant was acting like this. "Kono-kun, if you have anything to say, please just say it. I am not a person who likes to be arbitrary." Nakamura Eiji's pleasant appearance made Kono Koichi feel his scalp numb. Before Nakamura Eiji was transferred to Shanghai, he was Those things done by Manchuria have long been reported to Shanghai by people from the Manchuria Headquarters of THT.
Koichi Kono knew that Nakamura Eiji's temperament was not as harmless as his appearance, but facing Nakamura Eiji's inquiring eyes, he could only grit his teeth and tell the truth. "So that's it! When I was in Manchuria, I also came into contact with the so-called Jianghu people, but this kind of Jianghu power has no market in Manchuria. Kono-kun, you don't have to worry, since the Qing Gang has not responded yet, then Let’s put this matter aside for now, let’s go to Jiangdong tomorrow.”
Kono Koichi was originally worried that Nakamura Eiji would get into trouble with the Green Gang because of this matter. Suddenly, when Nakamura Eiji said that contacting the Green Gang would be put on hold for the time being, Kono Koichi couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Nakamura Eiji asked to go to Kodong just to take a look at the pharmaceutical warehouse. Nakamura Eiji naturally knew about the pharmaceutical warehouse. Tekko was set up here. According to his habit, if he wants to find out the truth, he must take a look at the drug warehouse.
Ttech has launched an investigation into the drug warehouse and George's affairs, and Bai Zhanshan has also launched an investigation. However, Bai Zhanshan is investigating the property that George and others were rumored to have been robbed last night. "Tell Men San's men to be careful. Not to mention that man took away so many gold bars and oceans, let's talk about the gold watches, lighters and other small items he got from those British people. Maybe I’ll use it in exchange for money.”
Bai Zhanshan suffered a loss in the operation of the drug warehouse and was severely reprimanded by the Nanjing headquarters. If the director and one of his backers had not come forward to speak, Bai Zhanshan might have been transferred back to Nanjing. But what happened that night finally showed Bai Zhanshan a clear path. Since the British businessman named George could get a batch of medicines from India, he would definitely be able to get a second batch of medicines.
Bai Zhanshan never expected that he would notice that the British businessman named George had been robbed last night, and according to insiders in the patrol room, the property robbed of this guy last night was not Not much. Bai Zhanshan was transferred to Shanghai, not only to take over Zhang Jianghe's position as special commissioner to rectify the Shanghai station, but he also had a secret mission assigned by the Nanjing headquarters, and this secret mission was very expensive.
Bai Zhanshan now needs a lot of money to support his secret mission, because this mission was obtained by his self-recommendation to the director. If the mission cannot be completed, he may never get the chance to be promoted. Black market smuggling may not be the best way to obtain money, but it is still better than dumping smoke and dust. Bai Zhanshan does a lot of shameful things in private, but he hates the trade of tobacco and dust.
George, who had been robbed of a large amount of money, had secretly offered a reward. As long as he found the masked man who robbed him, he would give half of the money robbed by the masked man as a reward. What Bai Zhanshan valued was naturally not the reward offered by George. What he valued was the ability to get in touch with the British businessman named George, and then connect with him to participate in the black market smuggling business, thereby obtaining the money he needed.
Bai Zhanshan thought that his idea was good, but he didn't know that once George's reward was issued, many forces, including Tigao Ke and the Qing Gang, had the same idea as him. After all, a businessman who can obtain large quantities of foreign medicines is, in a sense, a walking money printing machine. The entire Shanghai Concession was in an uproar because of George's incident. Even Hans, who had been watching the joke, was a little tempted. When he called Tangcheng, he resented the fat man George a little more.
"Hans, your idea is wrong! I want to remind you that according to our Chinese martial arts community, you are a little obsessed now. This is not good, and it is not good for your mind, body and health. I think , you should find a girlfriend!" Tang Cheng, who was harassed by Hans's daily phone calls, ignored Hans's impatient complaints on the other end of the phone and just held the phone between his neck while playing cards with Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jianghe , while making fun of Hans.
Tang Cheng had informed Zhang Jianghe about his relationship with Hans, but Zhang Jianghe only knew that Tang Cheng was doing black market business with the foreigner named Hans, but he didn't know that Tang Cheng was secretly helping Hans eliminate his rivals. . "Tang, we are friends, you can't do this to me, this is not the way friends get along!" Hans on the other end of the phone complained as usual when he heard Tang Cheng say that he needed a girlfriend.
"Okay, I take back what I just said, but I want to remind you that I'm very busy right now. If you don't tell me why you're calling, I'm going to hang up!" Tang Cheng was distracted for a moment. Zhou Hongzhuang, who was sitting in his lower hand position, played out two single cards. Zhang Jianghe, who was sitting in his upper hand position, only had four cards left at this moment, while Tang Cheng himself still had a hand of miscellaneous cards.
As if he realized that Tang Cheng was not joking, Hans on the other end of the phone paused briefly, then lowered his voice and told Tang Cheng about another matter. "I have some clues about what you asked me to inquire about last time. One of my informants met that person in a casino in the French Concession. Guess what? The person you are looking for is actually following Some people from the Youth Gang had private contacts."
The person Tangcheng entrusted Hans to find was the intelligence service traitor named Yuan Cheng. This person was originally a middle-level officer in charge of general logistics at the Shanghai Station of the intelligence service. However, he did not want to be exposed for embezzling funds, so he went directly to seek refuge. High-tech. Tang Cheng hated the Japanese, and he hated traitors like Yuan Cheng even more. If he could kill Yuan Cheng before leaving Shanghai, Tang Cheng felt that his trip to Shanghai would come to a successful conclusion.
