Chapter 516: Disappearance Investigation II (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Hearing Takeshita Shinya's words, Imai Yushi also felt that it was very reasonable and agreed that if Cui Guangqi had the intention to defect and leave Shanghai, he really didn't need to spend this money.
As for the fact that Shinya Takeshita received a bribe of 5,000 yen from Cui Guangqi, Imai Yushi did not care, to be honest, there are many places within the jurisdiction of the Detective Department that can be manipulated and reaped a lot of benefits.
For this, Sagawa Taro and Imai Yushi are not unaware of this, their experience and experience are sufficient, and the following tricks can be said to be clear.
There is an old Chinese saying that when the water is clear, there is no fish, Imai Yushi knows very well that there is no real incorruptible yamen in this world, not to mention the environment of corruption and corruption in China's officialdom, the habits of officialdom are like this, even the Japanese themselves cannot be honest and self-disciplined, and they are even more so, they have great power in their hands, and they only need to stretch out their hands lightly, they can earn a lot of wealth, and a few people can endure it.
Even Imai Yushi's most respected old boss, the former head of the special high school section Kawamoto Kurashi who had the grace of knowing him, was not clean in this regard, and in order to buy a white porcelain bottle, they didn't blink an eye, and threw out 11,000 dollars casually, is it really their own salary? Of course not, the source of their money can't be clearly explained, it's just a trick and a robbery.
So Sagawa Taro also acquiesced in this kind of thing, these benefits are also a means to win over these Chinese who are willing to serve the Japanese, when Takeshita Shinya was assigned this liaison officer position, it was considered that this is a good errand, which can not only allow Takeshita Shinya to stay up with some qualifications, but also allow him to collect some benefits, so Wen Hao and Cui Guangqi sent some bribes to Takeshita Shinya, Imai Yushi did not feel that there was anything wrong.
"What Takeshita-kun said makes sense, this is indeed a basis for judgment, well done, Takeshita-kun, your mind is very clear, you have to work harder in the future, you remember, the most important thing for a good agent is not the gun in his hand, but his mind!" Imai Yushi nodded to Shinya Takeshita with satisfaction.
This scene really surprised Wen Hao on the side, and couldn't help but look at Takeshita Shinya even more, he knew that Shinya Takeshita also had a deep background in the special high school class, but he didn't expect that Imai Yushi knew that Takeshita Shinya received a bribe from Cui Guangqi, not only did not have the slightest meaning of reprimand, but encouraged him warmly and comforted, you must know that Imai Yushi's position is still above Takeshita Shinya's teacher Akita Akihito, there is no need to give Akita Akihito face, it can be seen from this, Shinya Takeshita's background is definitely not as simple as he said before, and it is likely to be related to the Mr. Hitoshi Ohtani who was rescued by Shinya Takeshita before.,It is said that that is a big man with a very high status.,It seems that in the future, I must double down on the liaison officer Takeshita.,Correct your attitude.。
Imai Yushi turned to Wen Hao at this time and asked, "Where is Cui Guangqi's residence?" ”
Wen Hao hurriedly replied: "After Deputy Director Cui joined the Detective Department, I originally arranged a residence for him in the dormitory area, but he was very cautious and never went, he rested in his own office every night, and there were two action team guards by his side!" ”
"So cautious?" Imai Yushi couldn't help but be a little surprised, he knew that Cui Guangqi was afraid of death, but he didn't expect him to be so careful, "Let's go to his office and have a look!" ”
Wen Hao hurriedly led the way in front, and the group soon came to Cui Guangqi's office again, the door was locked, only Cui Guangqi had the key, and his subordinates did not dare to enter the boss's office rashly because they were not sure of Cui Guangqi's whereabouts, so they did not pick the lock.
Wen Hao also wanted to avoid suspicion, he and Cui Guangqi didn't deal with each other in the first place, and they were quite suspicious of each other, so he simply waited for the Japanese to investigate, so he didn't go into this office.
"Pick the lock!"
Hearing Imai Yushi's order, Wen Hao hurriedly gave orders to the agents behind him.
With the order of the director, the door lock was quickly picked, and Imai Yushi motioned for everyone to step back, and he entered the office by himself.
This is the second time Imai Yushi has been here, and he has just visited this place a few days ago because of the Deng Yuankai assassination case, so he still has an impression of the layout of this office.
Imai Yushi looked around left and right, and then began to search step by step, his experience is naturally extremely rich, and he is naturally not a problem for such a routine search, and after a short time, he searched the office again, and found two pistols under Cui Guangqi's desk and chair.
Finally, he set his eyes on a row of bookcases in the northeast corner of the room, he came to the front of the bookcase and looked at it carefully, and soon found the problem, and with a strong push of his hand, the bookcase was easily removed in its entirety, revealing the safe behind it.
Imai Yushi didn't delay much, turned his head to Wen Hao at the door and ordered directly: "Open it immediately." ”
"Hey!" Wen Hao hurriedly agreed, and soon several of his agents stepped forward with tools and used violent means to open the safe.
Waving his hand to let everyone retreat, Imai Yushi stepped forward to check carefully, only to see that there were some document bags inside, as well as neat stacks of more than a dozen banknotes and four gold bars.
Don't look at Cui Guangqi's short tenure, but the scope of the Detective Department's jurisdiction is very large, the oil and water are very rich, and Cui Guangqi's means of making money are ruthless enough, and he quickly accumulated a lot of wealth.
Imai Yushi nodded secretly, it seems that what Shinya Takeshita said is not wrong, if Cui Guangqi is a sincere defector, how can he not take so much money away, where can he escape without money.
Needless to say, Cui Guangqi must be more than lucky.
As for the documents in the document bag, they were all some confidential documents of the Detective Department, as well as the investigation documents of the commercial companies in the jurisdiction, and it can be seen from the content that Cui Guangqi still put a lot of effort into extorting money from these merchants.
Soon a document caught the attention of Imai Yushi, this is a trading house smuggling channel investigation report, this investigation report shows that the trading house named Chenguang, has been engaged in the business of smuggling electrical materials, the owner Zhen Xu is a Zhejiang businessman, the background is unknown, he bought goods from the French Concession, and then smuggled to southern and northern Jiangsu, from which to obtain huge profits.
Imai Yushi attaches great importance to this document, this is not a trivial matter, if it is just the smuggling of electrical materials, Shanghai's population is large, the business is developed, the power equipment is complete, these smuggled electrical materials consumption accounts for the urban area of Shanghai, then it is good to say, but if smuggled to southern and northern Jiangsu, then the consequences will be more serious, there is the Wuhan government's loyal National Salvation Army and the Red Party's New Fourth Army activities range, needless to say, the whereabouts of these electrical materials are transmitted to the Chinese military.
At this time, due to backward technology and low production capacity, the Chinese government is unable to produce all kinds of electrical appliances by itself, and it is completely dependent on imports of electrical materials, such as wires and cables used for communication, high-power radios, as well as vacuum tubes, special batteries and antennas, signal amplifiers, etc., which need to be imported from abroad. A radio station has to be stopped because of a small component damage, resulting in great waste, so the Chinese government has always had a very large demand for electrical materials.
However, since the full-scale war between China and Japan, the Japanese have strengthened the economic blockade of the Chinese government, and the import channels have almost all been cut off, and now only the French area of Guangzhou can purchase these electrical materials, but it is only a drop in the bucket, so the Chinese government has used all the electrical materials that can be collected for military purposes, and the purchase price has also soared, and the huge profits are not under the smuggling of drugs, which prompted some businessmen to take risks and begin to get involved in the trade of smuggled electrical materials. That's what the Chenguang Trading House does.
At present, in the urban area of Shanghai, because the Japanese restrictions on search are very strict, there is no source of smuggled goods, so the source of smuggled goods is in the French Concession and the Public Concession, because there are merchants from various powers, they rely on their respective backgrounds, use all kinds of diplomatic privileges, bribery and other means to evade the inspection of the Wusongkou Customs set up by the Japanese, and transport these goods into the Shanghai Concession to make huge profits, Ning Zhiheng's Fujiwara Club is one of them.
The concession area is located in the middle of the downtown area of Shanghai, surrounded by the Japanese-occupied downtown area, like an isolated island.
If you want to transport smuggled goods to areas outside Shanghai to obtain greater profits, you must pass through the occupied areas of the Japanese, and if the Japanese want to cut off these transportation lines, the force invested will be very large, which is one of the reasons why the Special High Division set up a special agent detection department.
Imai Yushi carefully read this document, nodded secretly in his heart, and had to admit that Cui Guangqi's ability was very outstanding, and he even sent his agents to infiltrate the French Concession to investigate, and found out that the predecessor of Chenguang Trading House was the Brown Trading House opened by British businessmen, which was a large-scale trading house, with the support of the British Consulate behind him, specializing in smuggling business.
Of course, Cui Guangqi did this work hard, naturally not to cut off this smuggling channel and ask the Japanese for credit, but to trace the clues from this Brown trading company to the other subordinates of the Brown trading company, and then extort money, or simply intercept the goods and sell them himself, in short, everything is profitable.
This matter must be investigated, but for now, we must first find the truth about Cui Guangqi's disappearance.
