Chapter 388: I Want an Explanation
Li Yixin replied with some seriousness: "I came to see you in the special high class this time, but it has nothing to do with the 'Wind and Rain Plan', but because of another matter. ”
Shinnosuke Murakami was a little strange, and he continued to ask, "Oh? What is it that makes you have to meet me in a hurry? ”
"That's right, I just got a report from Qu Zhonghan, deputy chief of the First Section of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department, that a businessman actually refused to be inspected by our Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department when he arrived at the Shicheng Railway Station this morning, and forcibly broke through. And when our people stopped him, he also had the military police of the imperial army beat Qu Zhonghan. It was an accident, and I don't know what kind of businessman had the power to ignore and undermine the policy of controlling the circulation of goods established by the Japanese Empire. In this way, how should our Anti-Smuggling Investigation Division carry out its work in the future? This makes us a little confused, so I hurried to you to ask you, what should we do if our Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department encounters such a situation? Li Yixin said unhurriedly.
After hearing what Li Yixin said, Shinnosuke Murakami knew that Li Yixin had come to him to explain. Although Li Yixin's words are very high-sounding, the implication is to give him an explanation.
Shinnosuke Murakami had a headache, because the businessman Li Yixin was talking to was also talking to him in this office just ten minutes ago.
And this man named Masao Kobayashi was not actually a real businessman, but a captain officer of the 'Matsu Agency' newly established by the War Department in Shanghai. This man was a Chinese expert, fluent in Chinese, and had been operating in Shanghai under the guise of a Chinese businessman long before the war of aggression against China began.
In order to crack down on the economy of the Chongqing government-controlled areas, which are still struggling to support, the 'pine organs' have drawn up a top-secret plan to deliberately and purposefully throw these counterfeit banknotes into businessmen who conduct commercial transactions between the Sino-Japanese controlled areas, hoping that these people will bring these counterfeit banknotes back to the areas controlled by the Chongqing government.
This plan is a top-secret plan with a very high level of secrecy, so it was not until yesterday that Yukio Fujita received an order from the East China Dispatch Command, asking for absolute cooperation with this top-secret plan of the 'Matsu Agency'.
Fujita Yukio thought about it and decided to use these counterfeit banknotes in the transaction of the 'Wind and Rain Project' that is currently underway, and the specific person who carried it out was Shinnosuke Murakami.
This was the morning when Shinnosuke Murakami forcibly demanded that Li Yixin must use fiat currency change to settle the transaction of the second batch of tobacco and soil of the Xinglong firm, and those fiat currency change were the counterfeit notes brought by Kobayashi Masao.
Because the plan of the counterfeit banknotes is very secretive, Shinnosuke Murakami did not intend to tell Li Yixin the real reason at the beginning, and tried to unknowingly let He Guangzong bring these counterfeit banknotes back.
However, when Kobayashi Masao arrived in the morning, there was a conflict with the personnel of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department at the train station to inspect the incoming and outgoing materials, after all, the counterfeit banknotes he was carrying must not be exposed in broad daylight, so Kobayashi Masao could only choose to go directly to the customs.
Shinnosuke Murakami also knows that Li Yixin is justified in this matter. In order to keep the secret of the counterfeit banknotes, Shinnosuke Murakami will definitely not tell Li Yixin the truth.
Therefore, the expression on Shinnosuke Murakami's face also became serious, and he said, "Nani? How did I not know that such a thing happened? Li Sang, you are right, no matter who you are, as long as you break the regulations of the imperial army's material control, you will not be allowed. In this way, Li Sang, please give me a little time, let me investigate this matter carefully, in a word, I will give you and your subordinates an explanation, please rest assured. ”
Shinnosuke Murakami has a headache at this time, Li Yixin is now running to explain the truth but he can't explain the truth, so he uses delaying tactics until he comes up with a reasonable explanation or Li Yixin forgets about it.
Regarding Shinnosuke Murakami's statement, Li Yixin knew that the other party was perfunctory, but he was also a little helpless.
However, judging from some details of the clash that took place at the railway station checkpoint in the morning, Li Yixin guessed that this businessman would definitely not be a Chinese businessman, but a Japanese, and he did not know whether this Japanese was a real businessman.
Li Yixin is more inclined to judge that this person should be a Japanese with a special mission, and it is likely that he is not a businessman, and the identity of a businessman is just a cover identity for this person.
In order to continue to inquire about the news, he thought for a while and continued: "I believe that Murakami-kun will definitely investigate the background of that businessman. According to Qu Zhonghan's report, this businessman was able to talk to the military police at the railway station, and these imperial military police still obeyed his orders. I can't help but wonder how a merchant who is still a Chinese merchant can have such great ability to command the gendarmes of the imperial army. I suggest that it is more convenient for Murakami-kun to start his investigation from this aspect, after all, even I can't command the Imperial Army gendarmerie. ”
Seeing Li Yixin's desire to seek the truth step by step, Shinnosuke Murayama couldn't help but scold Masao Kobayashi in his heart for doing things too high-profile, which made people see that he had a connection with the Japanese Empire, so there was now trouble.
Murakami Shinnosuke thought so in his heart, but continued in his mouth: "Li San, since the military police of the Imperial Army are involved in this matter, it shouldn't be too troublesome to investigate, so be it that this matter is like this, it should be solved soon." ”
Shinnosuke Murakami has already said this, and Li Yixin can only echo: "Murakami-kun is really very capable, I believe that he will be able to investigate the truth." So, this matter is please! ”
Shinnosuke Murakami showed a smile at this time and nodded: "Don't worry, Li San, there will be an investigation." In addition, I would like to hear how you plan to carry out the 'Wind and Rain Plan' in the future. His Excellency Dazuo has always attached great importance to this plan, and I also ask Li Sang not to disappoint His Excellency Dazuo. ”
Li Yixin showed a helpless expression and said: "It's still that problem, it's the same as the old change money that Murakami told me on the phone in the morning to use old change to pay for the second batch of cigarettes. I am very worried that the Hing Leong firm will not accept such a transaction, and that the progress of the 'Wind and Rain Project' will probably be hindered, so I still have to suggest that I either exchange it for the current ocean and gold or buy a batch of silk stockings back. ”
