Chapter 266: Dialogue
Li Ran and his shipwives entered the office building, and the destroyers were responsible for cleaning up the mess outside.
Accompanied by Bismarck and others, he went to the second floor, and although the office building was not decorated, there was a conference room, and there was also a rectangular negotiation table for meetings.
Li Ran sat down on the main seat, then Bismarck sat first on the left, Bismarck sat first on the right, and Richelieu was in charge of the record of negotiations on this matter, standing behind Li Ran.
Richelieu, after all, was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and she sometimes had to take on the duties of clerk when the secretary ship was not present.
"Negotiation? or what? Whatever it is, let's get started. Li Ran probably knew Hipper's intentions, but he really didn't have the leisure to explore the assassination case at this time, even if this case had nothing to do with the Four Seas Trading Company, it had nothing to do with him.
It's just that in Bai Nuoyan's matter, there is always a trace of guilt in it.
"Well, let's get started. Richelieu also felt a little embarrassed, she didn't know much about what happened to Li Ran and the two shipwives before, and usually the port area didn't have much time to pay attention to the past, everyone was busy training and busy with their own things, but as a clerk, she still announced the start.
"You two, I can explain your intentions. ”
Li Ran said, looking at Prince Eugen who was sitting next to Bismarck with some worry.
Noticing Li Ran's gaze, Prince Eugen raised her head, she was a little worried, since she came to the port area, she had heard about her two sisters, and she would pay more or less attention to it.
After all, this is the memory that carries after inheriting the soul of the warship.
Moreover, she also rejected the invitation of her sisters, and the current situation, she feels that it is difficult to do.
After all, she has nothing to do with this matter, but it is related, after all, sitting opposite the Admiral are her two nominal sisters.
Prince Eugen also wanted to help his sister, and looked at the Admiral's gaze, and there was a look of help in her eyes.
Li Ran sighed, he knew that Prince Eugen also wanted him to listen, not to mention that he didn't intend to close the door to communication.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have just put Leipzig and Emden in charge of spying on them.
Blücher heard what Li Ran said, and then subconsciously glanced at his sister, and also at his third sister, and found that Prince Eugen had been giving him a look.
The atmosphere was awkward.
Blucher sighed, then lightly touched Hipper's hand with his elbow, and then reminded:
"Sister, you are talking, the atmosphere is very embarrassing. ”
Hippert didn't know why she suddenly felt like she wanted to retreat, but thinking of Bai Nuoyan's appearance of gritting her teeth all the time to support, she hesitated for a long time, and then said:
"Major General Li, this time I came here not to mean the Admiral, but just a decision made by me personally. ”
"Hmm. Li Ran was expressionless, and lightly tapped the table with his fingers.
Hipperle felt that she had forgotten all the words she had thought of, her head was blank on one side, and everyone in the conference room did not squint, obviously not looking at her, but she still felt very worried, and was silent for a while, and then took a deep breath:
"That's right, I know that a lot of unpleasant things happened to Major General Li before, and I also know that the Four Seas Commercial Bank has done a bit too much unilaterally, but I am here this time from the position of Bai Nuoyan's secretary ship, and I hope that Major General Li will understand. ”
Li Ran nodded and motioned for Hippert to continue.
"To tell you the truth, the Admiral has already broken with the family, and before the Four Seas Commercial Bank went bankrupt, in fact, most of the assets had been transferred to the Admiral's name, and the price paid by the Bai family was ......."
"What happened to the white madness?" Li Ran was keenly aware of the deep meaning of Hipper's words, and he had a sense of foreboding.
Hipper's body trembled slightly, she regretted it a little, against the will of the Admiral, but this matter has to be said, although the Four Seas Trading Company was abandoned, but the Admiral is now in a very dangerous situation, she took a deep breath, and then tried to calm the sadness in her heart:
"That's right, Master Bai has been killed, not long after Major General Li's assassination, although the admiral kept calling me needless to say, but, because of the misunderstanding, if there is a gap between the two admirals, I think it will have a bad impact on the admirals of the Far East Theater and the Nanyang Theater?"
"So serious?" Li Ran frowned, and then a little strange:
"It's just that the matter between me and Bai Nuoyan should have nothing to do with the two war zones, right?"
Blucher sighed, then interjected:
"Major General Li is wrong, do you know that there are already bad rumors in the seven war zones now?"
Li Ran frowned, Helena was in charge of the intelligence, he looked at her with puzzled eyes, and motioned for her to explain.
Helena was stunned, but she still stood up from where Rodney had started, and said:
"There are bad rumors, but it just says that there is any entanglement between the youngest major general in the Pacific Theater and the genius girl in the Far East Theater, but it is all chasing after the wind, and Chen Yao, the governor of the Far East, has also clarified it in person. ”
"It's true, but the rumors I'm talking about are not these, but more serious. Hipper's tone was a little solemn, she took out a stack of papers from the ship's space, and said:
"These are the financial inputs and external contacts of some branches of the Sihai Commercial Bank before Master Bai was killed, and this is where the problem lies. ”
"Could it be that someone is greedy for ink?" Li Ran hated this kind of thing, but he was a little strange:
"Isn't the headquarters of the Four Seas Trading House in the Atlantic Theater?"
"Originally, yes, but Major General Li actually knew that during the trip to Qiyun City, most of the assets of the commercial bank were not actually transferred, and after Major General Li left, he started this originally normal work in full swing, and problems occurred at that time. ”
"Do you mean that Bai Lunac had already realized that there was a crisis in the Four Seas Commercial Bank at that time?" Li Ran frowned, he felt that it was impossible for a huge trading house to go bankrupt overnight, not to mention that Bai Nuoyan said that the Four Seas Commercial Bank was the only remaining fruit after the rupture of the Four Seas Business Alliance.
Emaciated camels are bigger than horses.
Even if bankruptcy happens, it must be that problems accumulate to a certain extent, such as the rupture of the capital chain, such as the decline in asset value.
"That's right, the reason why Master Bai chose to travel to Qiyun City was actually because of the Admiral, and the reason why he unilaterally tore up the agreement with Major General Li was a sign that the board of directors of the commercial bank had broken at that time. ”
"You mean, the madman didn't want me to have anything to do with the Four Seas Trading House that was about to split?"
"Well, I know that Major General Li will not believe it, and I don't believe what happened behind the peony stone, which undoubtedly proves my guess. ”
"Are you saying that because he realized that something was about to happen to the Four Seas Commercial Bank, he chose to open a branch in the Far Eastern Theater for the purpose of transferring assets?"
"For the sake of the Admiral, Major General Li also knows that after becoming a Admiral, he needs all kinds of funds and resources, and Master Bai has already had the idea of retiring, but before this, a father only wants to make the last effort for his daughter, can Major General Li understand?"
Hippert said, and then found some bills in the file with anomalies marked in red.
"The part marked with these red handwriting is the abnormal capital flow before the bankruptcy of the headquarters of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, from the white master to Qiyun City, there have been abnormal situations in various branches have been transmitted to the ears of the old man, but at that time, because I didn't want the admiral's mood to be ruined, but at that time I heard that Major General Li and the admiral had a written agreement, so I could only implement the plan in advance. ”
"What do you mean, because of me, that brought the asset transfer plan forward?"
"Well, I also found out later, but when I knew, sixty percent of the assets were transferred, and Master Bai was killed, and the Four Seas Commercial Bank fell apart because of the death of the master, but the admiral had my protection, so those people didn't dare to ask for the assets back. ”
"You mean, now the Four Seas Comptoir is gone?"
"That's not true, it's just that it was merged, and now the Bai family is only supported by the admiral, and now there is the protection of the town guard, although the Bai family's people are not in danger of life, but at that time, there were rumors that Major General Li was assassinated. ”
"I see. Li Ran thought about it, but obviously didn't feel that there was any problem with the enemy, after all, this kind of business house has a council, which proves that antiques are not only the Bai family, but also their private affairs if they split, he didn't understand what it had to do with himself, so he asked:
"However, I am afraid that this is not enough to convince me, I can't just believe your testimony, after all, it was I who was assassinated, and I still can't believe the testimony of the suspect. ”
"I know. Hipper sighed, then continued:
"It was only in this month that I did my research and found that the bankruptcy was all caused by an organization. ”
Hippert thought that Li Ran would show a surprised or inquiring look, but she was surprisingly calm, she was stunned, and then continued:
"Isn't Major General Li curious?"
Li Ran sighed, and then motioned for Helena to speak.
Helena looked at Li Ran's eyes, got up again, and then nodded politely to Hipper, and then said:
"The footprint of the activities of the dark blue light, the active areas are in the Far Eastern Theater and the South Sea Theater, and the other theaters have not been investigated in depth for the time being, but it is already certain that the activity area of this organization may cover the seven major theaters, and the bankruptcy of the Four Seas Commercial Bank has also been hinted, and the cause should be that a certain director colluded with the organization, but there are too few clues, and it was originally just my speculation, but it was confirmed by Miss Hipper, Admiral, my information should not be wrong. ”
"That's amazing. Blücher was a little surprised, she had never been good at this kind of intelligence processing, but when she was in the gendarmerie, she also knew how troublesome intelligence work was, and Helena was able to sort out the clues of the dark blue light by herself, although it was a small number, but it was already very accurate.
"Miss Helena, did you start investigating a long time ago?" Hipper, too, was surprised.
"No, I just went on a trip to the Far Eastern Theater and the Nanyang Theater this month, and I met the help of nobles, so I used a lot of channels that I can't usually use, and collected some trivial information. ”
"I have to say that Miss Helena's information is very accurate. Hipper, too, sighed and said:
"Now it can be confirmed that the dark blue light is inseparable from the bankruptcy of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and even the murder of Master Bai, but the dark blue light is too hidden, so this is just speculation. ”
Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since Helena's intelligence was not wrong, then the suspicion of Bai Nuoyan could be ruled out, he sighed, and then said:
"What else?"
Hipper was stunned, not only her, but everyone was dumbfounded by Li Ran's cold attitude, and she said in a daze:
"No, that's all I want to say. ”
Li Ran pretended to be calm and said:
"At the end of the conversation, I know that Miss Bai has nothing to do with my stabbing case, so let's talk about it today. ”
That's all?
Blücher was a little angry, she stood up angrily, and wanted to ask why the beauty was so stingy, but saw Hipper shake his head, and Prince Eugen also shook his head.
She calmed down.
"Excuse me. Hipper politely got up and walked out of the conference room.
Blucher followed.
Before leaving, Li Ran said to Prince Eugen:
"Eugen, go and see off your two sisters. ”
Prince Eugen was stunned for a moment, then looked at everyone with encouraging looks, she nodded busily, and then got up and followed.
Prince Eugen left the conference room, Li Ran looked at everyone staring at him, he sighed, it seemed that he still had to explain.
