Chapter 22 Want to add a crime
It was deep in the night and the snow was as sharp as the snow.
No. 13, Nanhutong, Jilin Road, Yu Zhishan’s mansion is brightly lit.
Wang Zhiyou, director of the Propaganda Bureau of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Nalan Songhan, deputy director of the Reserve Department, and deputy chief of the Police Department, Lu Li (Luo Shuangchen), the head of the Security Department, sat in the main hall and listened to Yu Zhishan's speech.
"Fuck, Luo Weixian is just a bucket of food. He doesn't know anything. Lu Shikun has been with me for many years, and we need his help in many things in the future. Now that Chen Gong targets him, not only covets his property, but also sees that he is close to me, Yu, and the Japanese are not at ease. Our troops in Anton, Shulan, Mudanjiang and other places do not secretly provide support. Can you support me with the military expenditure of Manchukuo? Damn, I am now holding on to it now.
The traitor is a traitor who is doing the ethics of a wise woman. What's the matter? In this way, I think Fu Nian and Li San, you should be calm and don't be anxious. Our Ministry of Military Affairs is too direct to inquiries and will not interfere. I think Han Sheng's injury is not too serious. Tomorrow morning, Han Sheng, you go directly to the police department to work. You will understand some situations first, and then hold Luo Weixian hostage to deal with it. No matter what, the director can still interfere with his affairs. The difficulty lies in Toyotomi who has not had much contact with me, and I don't know what the bottom line is."
Wang Zhiyou said: "Master Yu Ge, I think this matter would not be a big deal. If Chen Gong had no evidence, he would not dare to touch President Lu. Even with relevant evidence, he could not ignore Lao Lu's face in Lu's place, and it would be impossible to kill him casually. What we should do most is that this matter must be known to Lu's name. If Toyotomi and Chen Gong took chicken feathers as command arrows and turned things wrong, it would be difficult to end. In the eyes of the Japanese, it doesn't matter who dies. They just need to support the people who do things for them, and there is no friendship. You can call Haruka Ryukawa now and mention this matter, saying that the Reserve Department needs to find Lao Lu, but now it is kidnapped by the Police Department. What should I do? Listen to Haruka Ryukawa's words."
Nalan said: "I think it's OK. Xing'annan and Xing'anbei garrison military uniforms and fabrics have not been purchased yet. You can speak with this."
Old Yu sighed and said, "It's better to be intimate, and I'm not afraid that Zheng Xiaoxu will not be happy, so I'll call you now." As he said, he picked up the phone and said majestically: "Come to me General Rikiraki Rikiraki, and the Military and Political Department Yu Zhishan has a report on important matters." After a while, the phone was answered, and Yu Zhishan stood up unconsciously, "Report to General Rikiraki Rikiraki, and the Military and Political Department Yu Zhishan reported to you and disturbed you. There was such an urgent matter, I asked Luo Weixian, the Police Department, and he said he didn't know that there are many shortages of uniforms and fabrics in the Xing'an South and Xing'an North Police Army.
And at present, the Ministry of Military Affairs does not need to get the money, and the Jichang Chamber of Commerce will advance payment. I was about to arrange this matter. Just tonight, Chen Gong from the Operation Team of the Police Department took President Lu of the Jichang Chamber of Commerce. In theory, I have no right to inquire about local security matters, but the money for these fabrics is not a small amount, and the Ministry of Finance cannot afford this money. What should I do? That Lu Shikun is a good person who is pro-Japanese and is doing business every time and has a good relationship with me, but now the servant asked Chen Gong to take it away. I have to do it? I was helpless, so I called you this time."
He heard the other end of the phone call and said, "Lu Sang, I am the role model of Japanese and Manchuria kindness that I have built up. I always tell my subordinates that the key to governing Manchuria is to win people's hearts, and it is not possible to rely on killing. I really haven't heard of this. I'll ask you back. Don't worry, I won't nod, no one dares to touch him, whether it's the chrysanthemum or the police department."
"Okay, then I'll bother General." The other party hung up the phone. Yu Zhishan breathed a sigh of relief. At least, no one dared to take Lao Lu's life tonight. The situation tomorrow depends on the development of the situation. We will keep in touch at any time."
Wang Zhiyou said: "That's easy. We'll go back first, you can rest."
Nalan and Luo Shuangchen both stood up and saluted Yu Zhishan. Yu Zhishan waved his hand, "Don't be polite to your family. Han Sheng should wear more clothes when he comes out at night, and the wound is not healed. Fu Nian, you have to take good care of him. I have too many business and can't take care of the places I can't see. You can share the burden for me."
Luo Shuangchen said: "Take care too. I am strong and have nothing to do. Then I will go to work tomorrow. I will see you when I have time."
Yu Zhishan said with a stern face: "I'm still here to come home. You have to go home often. You're just a little brat."
The three of them left Yu Zhishan's mansion and all got into Nalan's car.
Wang Zhiyou said: "Third Master, it's not like outsiders to call you like this. We're so hungry in the middle of the night, what should I do?"
Nalan said: "What else do you do? Let's go to the courtyard No. 67, Wannianli, where it is quiet, and Han Sheng can drink some wine. Let's have three of us who will get drunk before we can stop."
Luo Shuangchen said: "I think it's OK. I feel uncomfortable staying in the hospital."
Nalan said to Lu Liujin who was driving: "Boy, go to the courtyard No. 67, Wannianli. If there is no alcohol there, you can go back to our mansion to get it. Third Master, I want to drink today. The fucking Chen Cong dares to talk to me like that, so I have to clean up him."
Lu Liujin said: "Third Master, he won't let you feel comfortable. It's not easy to deal with him. Let's look back at us guys and I, a few of us, have a solution. Don't forget that No. 67 is hidden in ten thousand years. It's enough for him to feel uncomfortable if he is thinking of a way. Is it okay? Master Lu?"
Luo Shuangchen said: "You brothers are just like you guys. They all have unique skills and are extremely loyal and brave. They should vent their anger for the third brother. In addition, since I arrived in Xinjing, I have been working hard on my third brother and Li, so I have to thank you very much. Let's not return without getting drunk."
Nalan said again: "Liujin, I called my wife and told her that I would not go back tonight, so that she would not have to worry about it. Don't let Song Mian know about President Lu. If a woman knows too much, it will make things worse."
"Okay, Master Third."
Wang Zhiyou joked, "Did that Miss Lu make Han excited? I heard from the third master that a hero saves beauty in a thrilling way?"
Nalan said: "We can't say it well. Miss Lu fell in love with her at first sight, but she just didn't know what Han Sheng was thinking. We don't understand the young people's affairs."
Luo Shuangchen said: "Two brothers, don't make fun of me. Lao Lu doesn't take us seriously at all. What I want is dignity. If I don't take me seriously, I can't be looked down upon. How good is it to be alone? How good is it to have brothers and brothers together and be willing to revenge?"
The three of them laughed and the car drove into the courtyard No. 67, Wannianli. With the sound of the car flute, Gu Dalong hit the gate of the courtyard and entered the courtyard. He heard that Nalan and Luo Shuangchen had returned, and both rushed out of the room and came to the hall together. Seeing that Luo Shuangchen had suffered much better physical injuries, they were all very happy. On that night in the Manchu Iron Warehouse, Luo Shuangchen moved them with his actions and conquered them.
Luo Shuangchen felt embarrassed to be like a master when she saw Nalan, and Nalan didn't care about this. "Old Gu, are there any food at home? Arrange two tables of wine and food for us. General Wang and Han Sheng, let's have some drinks with the children. I haven't been together for many days, and I miss everyone very much."
Gu Dalong said: "There are some in the kitchen. These young men are just growing up. I will prepare more food. Otherwise, what if they are hungry? Let my wife arrange it immediately, and you can wait."
"The geek, the world's monster" Meng Gafa said happily: "I'll go and help Uncle Gu and Aunt."
Half an hour later, Gu Dalong and his wife arranged two tables of wine and food in the main hall. Nalan, Wang Zhiyou, Luo Shuangchen, Lu Liujin, Long Sihai and more than ten brothers sat in two tables, drinking and talking, communicating friendship, the atmosphere was warm and laughing, and there was no need to explain in detail.
In the snowy night of the courtyard No. 67, the scene was as generous and chivalrous as the waters of Liangshan. Even Wang Zhiyou felt that he was back in the 5th Legion of the People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army in Northeast China. Even though things changed, their original intentions were hard to change. He also had blood and a man's feelings for his country.
No one wants his life to be rewritten like this.
In a room on the second floor of the north of Yamato Hotel, the lights were bright, and Lu Shikun sat upright, closing his eyes to rest.
This Yahe Hotel is located at No. 80 Datong Street, southeast corner of Datong Plaza in New Beijing. It is built and operated by Manchuria Railway, with brick-concrete structure and Art Nouveau architectural style. The building is divided into two parts: North and South Building. The north and South Building are two floors, with a horseshoe-shaped plane; the south building is three floors, with a "t" shape. The north and south buildings are connected, with a total area of 15,000 square meters and a building area of 7,746 square meters. It was trial operation in October 1909 and officially opened on March 9, 1910. It was the only building in Xinjing area with full tap water, electricity supply, heating supply, drainage and sanitation equipment.
No matter how superior the environment is, it is difficult for Lu Shikun to sleep. He is concerned about his brothers. He is worried about Zhou Jiuting, who is still underground in the Shuangde Arsenal, is worried about the situation of Hu Futou and Zhou Xiaotian, and is worried about whether the brothers in the Chamber of Commerce know that something happened to him and whether they can remain calm. He knows that Chen Gong must give up as soon as possible and must not give the other party an excuse to hinder the other party. The guards outside the door snored. Whether they slept or distracted, they could not escape easily. He would see what Chen Gong had mastered and dare to catch him.
Before we knew it, it was already dawn.
Lu Shikun took out a wet towel from the bathroom and was wiping his face. Chen Gong pushed the door from outside and walked in. The person behind him hugged two red sandalwood boxes and then came in and placed it on the coffee table.
Chen Gong sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, fiddled with a pistol in his hand, "Tell me, President Lu, do you know these two wooden boxes?"
Obviously, Lu Shikun understood that these were the two Go players given to Suzuki Cong-2. One was soaked with venom on the piece, and the other was the non-venom that was put into Suzuki's house. He said indifferently: "Captain Chen, when did you become a dealer for merchandise? What is this? What does it have to do with me?"
Chen Gong put on white gloves and opened two wooden boxes, which were two porcelain jars in dark green and white. The porcelain jars contained green and white Go pieces. "President Lu, don't you recognize this?"
Lu Shikun said frankly: "I understand that this is made by the Japanese Go master Yan Jinjun, who took Chinese Hotan jade as the base material and ground it. The porcelain jar was fired by the descendants of the Japanese porcelain master Ohanoi Jigyu family. It produces a total of six pairs. It is the best product in the Go world today. Not to mention priceless, it is a treasure in the eyes of collectors."
Chen Gong refused to give in, "It would be easy to see that President Lu really recognizes this thing. Do you know this brand?" As he said that, he took out a three-inch-long square wooden sign from his pocket and handed it to Lu Shikun.
When Lu Shikun saw that there was nothing special about this wooden sign. The front of the hand is engraved with the words "Chuanhe" in the official script, and the back is engraved with "011 Lu". After reading it, he placed it on the coffee table, "I don't know what this is, I have never seen it before."
Chen Gong was obviously very confident, "President Lu, I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Come and bring Chuanhe's shopkeeper in."
Immediately afterwards, the entourage brought a thin man in his fifties, wearing a cotton robe and a melon-skin hat, and was blinded. "The villain has met Captain Chen."
Chen Gong said arrogantly: "Do you know this wooden sign from your bathtub? Do you know this person?"
The shopkeeper said, "It's our family. This is the key to the cabinet door for customers to store toiletries. I know this person, President Lu, who often goes to my Guangfu Road Sichuan and the bathhouse to take a bath."
Lu Shikun was very angry, "What? What does this have to do with me? Guangfu Luchuan and the bathhouse? I have never been there."
Chen Gong said: "President Lu, you have to let me make it clear. When my man searched Suzuki's house recently, he found this wooden card next to him when he searched for this non-toxic Go. And the shopkeeper also said that you often go to Kawaka, how do you explain?"
Lu Shikun was very experienced, "In this way, let's put this Go business aside for the time being. I'll ask this so-called shopkeeper first, I'll ask you, what clothes do I wear every time I go to your place?"
The shopkeeper said, "There are so many of them, sometimes they wear suits and sometimes they wear robes, not necessarily! How can I remember the young one?"
Lu Shikun said angrily: "You are lying! My Lu Shikun's family background is of a large number in Changchun area. How can I go to your unknown bathhouse? Captain Chen, you can go to Chang Jifang, the owner of Pan Asia Metropolis, to verify that at the 'Chunjiang Green' Bathroom on the fourth floor of the Metropolis, there is my own special bath scrubber, masseur, and a dedicated bathroom and lounge. How can I go to your place? I have lost my identity, can I do it? Besides, I have a habit for many years that I must wear a Chinese-style double-breasted jacket and a fur cloak in the cold season. How could you see me? Nonsense, is it that someone forced you to say it? There are so many people in Xinjing surname Lu, will you find me any things in the future if you have the surname Lu?"
The shopkeeper was speechless when asked.
Chen Gong knew that he was in the wrong, "Go down, take it down. Something that is useless. That... President Lu, how do you explain this Go?"
Lu Shikun was even more reluctant, "How many people can get such a valuable Go game? You can find a good thing to frame it. Captain Chen is really unreasonable."
Chen Gong said, "What's unreasonable? Listen to me. You got Go, soaked poinsettia venom, and gave it to Suzuki Congji. He was a chess snail, which made him stay in the hospital. Then, you pretended to visit the hospital and someone secretly executed Suzuki in the evening. You were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you used the same Go to Suzuki's house to exchange the poisonous ones, and then threw the poisonous ones on the street. It happened to be picked up by He Jinshan, the owner of Sheng and Tai pawnshop. When he met the Taijun people checked the night, he handed out this go. You were the culprit for executing Suzuki and destroying the corpse. These two gos are exactly the same. How do you explain it?"
Lu Shikun asked, "Why do you have to believe that it was the Go I gave? My relationship with Suzuki is OK. We have quarreled in the Central Bank, but it is also because of trivial matters at work? I visited him, which was allowed by General Ryukari Takashi. If you don't believe me, you can ask."
Chen Gong thought to himself, how else did I ask? The reason why I asked you to sleep well in the Yamato Hotel was because Ryuki Ryu called Toyotomi and said that there was no conclusive evidence and he could not touch a hair of Lu Shikun. But he was very unwilling to give up and shouted out: "Bring that Qiao Sen in."
After a while, a medium-sized young man came in, with a handsome face and a dazzling look. "The villain Qiao Sen has met Mr. Lu and Captain Chen."
Chen Cong seemed to be sure to win this time, "Jo Sen, I ask you, do you recognize these two go pieces on the coffee table?"
Qiao Sen said: "The villain dares not say hesitation. He recognizes that Mr. Lu has two such go games."
Chen Gong said: "How is it? President Lu, your colleagues in the Central Bank say that you have such Go, what else do you say?"
Lu Shikun said: "Jiaosen, please make it clear. I have such a style of Go. Does it have anything to do with the one on the table?"
Qiao Sen said: "The villain has been working in the reception room on the first floor of the building. Once, Mr. Fan Daoqi from Huanya Co., Ltd. sent you two such styles of rosewood boxes, saying that they were given to you. At that time, you didn't come to work in the bank and I collected it on your behalf. Later, when you came to work, the villain sent it to your office. You know this."
Chen Gong waved his hand and someone came to take Qiao Sen down.
Chen Gong said: "What am I talking about? These two go games, what else do you say?"
Lu Shikun laughed, "There are so many things in the world. I said that at that time, this Go game was made in total and that Fan Daoqi gave me two. It was true, but these two pairs were not mine, mine was in the Central Bank office."
Chen Cong argued again: "You still don't admit it, okay, wait, I'll send someone to search to see if you have it?"
Lu Shikun stood up and raised his hand to stop him, "No, I must go find him personally. If you go, hide him after you find him. Wouldn't I be unable to explain it? I'll take you to find him."
Chen Gong thought about it, so he stood up and asked his subordinates to follow him, and took Lu Shikun out of the Yamato Hotel. At the door, six men in black stood there with bicycles. Lu Shikun knew that this was Qingfengtang's brothers were worried about him.
They took a car to the Yongheng Guanqianyin No., Jilin, which was the first place where the puppet Manchukuo Central Bank worked. The new office building was completed in August 1938 in the northwest of Datong Plaza.
After entering the building, people greeted Lu Shikun from time to time in the corridor. When they came to the office door on the west side of the second floor, Lu Shikun took out the key and opened the room, saying frankly: "Captain Chen can sit there casually."
I saw that the interior was clean and dust-free, with a large solid wood desk, a set of European sofas, and two pots of molans that made the interior look elegant and fresh.
Lu Shikun walked to the bookcase next to the high-back chair, opened the lower cabinet door, and found that it was empty inside. He couldn't help but be surprised, "Why is it gone? Who took these two pairs of Go away?"
Chen Gong laughed and said, "President Lu, stop pretending, okay? I can just ask you to stay in the Yamato Hotel and accompany you to the central bank for a walk. How many such expensive things can you have? Playing back and forth for the fourth pair? Okay, I can't explain this clearly, so just go to see Toyotomi Tatsugu. When you get there, you will be punished and you won't act."
Lu Shikun was obviously very annoyed, "How brave are you? You dare to touch me? I have been holding back this to me at your level. Don't make me angry. If you create any evidence or physical evidence, you want to put a shit basin on my head. You are still a little tender!" As he said that, he smashed the teacup on the table to the bloody red floor.
Chen Gong said: "President Lu, even if the wooden sign is not yours, as long as you put your two pairs of Go here, I will put you out and take it out? Where can I find it? I am hypocritical and pretend to be a master when I die."
As the two were talking, a woman wearing a light green cheongsam with orchid embroidered with orchids came in from outside the door. She had long hair, a pretty face and a tall figure. "Mr. Lu, what's wrong? Who made you angry again?"
When Lu Shikun saw that it was Qin Jingxian from the Administrative Department of the Central Bank, "Jingxian, nothing is wrong."
Qin Jingxian quickly found a broom from the door and swept the pieces of teacup on the ground.
Lu Shikun asked, "Jingxian, who has entered my office recently?"
Qin Jingxian said: "No, I come here to clean up the sanitation here when I have time. No one has ever come in."
Lu Shikun asked: "Then do you see there are two red sandalwood boxes in my cabinet?"
Qin Jingxian said: "Yes, it's in my office. That day, I cleaned the house and saw that there was dust on it, so I took it to my office and wiped it carefully. I'll get it now." As he said that, he ran out in high heels.
At this time, Chen Gong's face was red and uncomfortable. Lu Shikun's heart fell to his bottom and he stared at Chen Gong with his angry eyes.
After a while, Qin Jingxian came in with two rosewood boxes and placed them on the desk.
Lu Shikun opened the wooden box and saw that the porcelain jar and chess pieces inside were intact. He clamped a piece with his finger and said to Chen Gong, "Captain Chen, these are the two go pieces that Qiao Sen collected for me. What else do you have to say? If you want to frame me, you think lightly. In the afternoon, I will directly look for General Rikikari. I will ignore him. I want to ask me, the deputy agent of the Central Bank, if I am uncomfortable, I will stop doing it. In the future, the head of the Chrysanthemum Department, and the operation team of the secret service department, always causing trouble for me. I can't worry.
I tell you, the current Chief Yu of the Ministry of Military Affairs is about to discuss the procurement of military uniforms and fabrics. Director Nalan, you have also seen it. He is the emperor's cousin and my friend. You will learn to be a person with your tail in the future. Do you know? If I can't work normally in the Central Bank, or work in the General Chamber of Commerce, or drink in the Metropolis and Taibaiju, then there will be more people looking for you to ask for people. Maybe Zhang Jinghui will also ask for people, and you will make a fortune in Xinjing. Think about it carefully, boy, you are still young."
Chen Gong knew he was speechless, and he was afraid of making enemies from all sides and making them unfavorable, so he hurriedly said, "President Lu, forgive me, I am not good at doing things well, you should take responsibility, I will say goodbye." After that, he took his subordinates away in a hurry.
Lu Shikun picked up the phone on the table and said, "Please pick me up with Director Nalan, the Reserve Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs... Brother Fu Nian, I am in the Central Bank's office. I'm worried about it. I stayed in the Yamato Hotel for a whole night last night. I haven't eaten yet. Why didn't I be shocked at Taibaiju?...Okay, let's see Taibaiju in a while."
Lu Shikun said to Qin Jingxian: "Jingxian, I don't come here often. You don't have to work hard to clean it all the time. Is the work going well? Are there any difficulties in life?"
"Mr. Lu, I'm fine. I know you love to clean. I'll clean it up if I'm fine. I scared me just now. You have to be careful. There are many bad people now. You have to take good care of yourself. Don't always lose your temper. You are not young and you're so angry that you hurt your body. Since you rescued me from Harbin three years ago, I'm content now. It's pretty good, don't worry about it." Her eyes looked at Lu Shikun with concern, considerate and hope.
Lu Shikun naturally knew her feelings, but he was always someone who did not want to repay her kindness. He just smiled slightly, "I'm fine, you take good care of yourself, go to the house if you have time, and I have to leave first. In addition, you call home later and ask Shanhe to go to Taibaiju to find me, and then tell Tianxiong that I'm safe and don't have to worry about it." As he said that, he tidied up his coat, walked downstairs, and saw the six men in black standing outside. Lu Shikun waved to them, and one of them called a rickshaw and got in the car by himself. The six people followed him and rushed towards Taibaiju.
Behind the upstairs window, Qin Jingxian had tears in her eyes, watching Lu Shikun disappear in the wind and snow.
Chapter completed!
