Chapter 21: Mitsui's Death

In the face of Mitsui's threat, Fang Hong gradually fought back without showing weakness: "Please note that this is the French Concession, and next door is the Mailan Fishing House, not your Japanese barracks, so this is not the world of you Japanese." And is it possible to buy and sell forcibly on your Japanese territory? Could this be the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity that you advertise?! ”

Mitsui, who was speechless by Fang Hongji's questioning this round, could only point at Fang Hong's gradual hatred and said: "You, you, don't worry, sooner or later, one day I will let you beg me to accept your broken prescription." After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

Although Fang Hong's righteousness and fearlessness in front of Mitsui just now were awe-inspiring and fearless, as soon as Mitsui left, his face was immediately full of sadness, because since the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, it had wantonly invaded and plundered the Chinese merchant factories and enterprises outside the concession. According to incomplete statistics, from November 1937 to February 1940, the Japanese army plundered 98 Chinese-funded factories by means of "military management" and "commissioned management", and the remaining 66 were "Sino-Japanese joint ventures", 31 were "leased", and 16 were "acquired". In short, basically all the factories of a small scale in the occupied areas fell into the hands of the Japanese.

This is also Fang Hongji's clinic is in the French Concession, so the Japanese businessman's food appearance is a little better, if this is changed to the occupied area, maybe he will directly bring the soldiers to coerce and rob it. But even so, the consequences of offending Japanese businessmen are quite serious, you must know that almost all the businessmen who came to seize business just after the fall of Shanghai have a military background or even are the spokesmen of the military.

Although Fang Hongjian is now staying in the French Concession, it is impossible for him to stay in the French Concession for the rest of his life, and in 1941 the French Concession will no longer exist, so Mitsui's threat is real, how to deal with it, Fang Hongjian has not thought of any good way for the time being.

Just when Fang Hong was gradually worried about this matter and couldn't sleep all night, an unexpected murder solved this headache for him!

Early the next morning, Fang Hongjian was just asleep in a daze when he was woken up by a knock on the door, Fang Hongjian was wearing pajamas and complained while opening the door in a daze: "What are you doing?" It's not time to open the door yet......"

But when he saw a few uniformed patrolmen standing outside the door, especially the tall, righteous and awe-inspiring patrolman with two mustaches, wasn't it the famous iron boy, so he immediately swallowed the following words, and asked with some puzzlement: "Are you going to see a doctor or have business?" ”

Tie Gongzi first glanced him up and down, and then asked in a deep voice: "I'm Tie Lin, the patrol of the Mailan Capture House, you are Doctor Fang Hong, right?" ”

Fang Hongjian nodded inexplicably and replied, "That's right, I'm Fang Hongji." ”

"Then let me ask you, did a Japanese businessman named Mitsui come to you yesterday?" Tie Lin asked.

"Yes, I did." Fang Hong gradually continued to nod.

"You are said to have had an argument?"

Fang Hongjian hurriedly explained: "He wanted to forcibly buy my unique prescription, and if I refused to sell it, he threatened me, so I quarreled a few words." But it's not illegal to quarrel, right? ”

Tie Lin's eyes widened: "It's true that it's not illegal to quarrel, but it's illegal to kill someone!" To tell you the truth, this Mitsui died last night! ”

Hearing the news of Mitsui's death, Fang Hongji's heart was relieved at first, and he said that he didn't have to worry about the conflict with the Japanese army because he didn't sell Mitsui's prescription, but then he thought, hey, this Mitsui won't be the Mitsui in "Red", right? After thinking about it carefully, it's really the same, isn't Mitsui in "Red" just because he grabbed that batch of drugs with the Seventh Master and was killed by the Eighth Sect sent by the Seventh Master? It seems that this Mitsui is a Japanese businessman specializing in the pharmaceutical business, so it is logical to set his eyes on my penicillin.

Just when Fang Hong was gradually thinking about whether he should point out the direction of Tie Lin's detection, he suddenly looked up and saw Tie Lin's eyes staring at him, when he thought of the current scene, he suddenly felt a little bad, so he asked, "You, aren't you suspecting that the murderer is me?" ”

Tie Lin nodded and replied, "That's right, I'm suspicious of you, because you were the only one who had a conflict with Mr. Mitsui yesterday." ”

"This、That's too unreasonable, I、I just had a few words with this Mitsui yesterday.,How can it be to the extent of murder? And do you think I'm a powerless one, like an opponent of Mitsui's five big and three thick guys? If I really want to fight, it's almost the same if he kills me! Furthermore, why is it only the one who clashed yesterday who is suspicious? Is there no suspicion that there was a conflict the day before yesterday or last month? Fang Hong gradually defended himself like a machine gun.

Tie Lin was somewhat surprised by Fang Hong's quick reaction: "Mr. Fang's reaction is very fast, but I didn't say that you are a criminal, and you are not the only suspect, everyone who has had a holiday with Mitsui is a suspect, and they have to go through our investigation to clear the suspicion, Mr. Fang, you should have no opinion on this, right?" ”

"Naturally, I don't have a problem with this." Fang Hongjian replied helplessly, and then urged: "So please also ask Hong Patrol to investigate as soon as possible, so as to clear my suspicion." ”

"This is natural, after all, this is our duty, but this requires your cooperation, Mr. Fang."

"And how do you need me to cooperate?"

"Follow us to the patrol room to explain all the details of your conversation and contact with Mitsui yesterday, and then you are not allowed to leave the French Concession without authorization during the investigation, and cooperate with our investigation at any time."

Originally, Fang Hongjian was going to instruct Tie Lin on how to solve this case, but when he thought about his current identity as a suspect, he felt that it was better not to make trouble for himself, anyway, Mr. Xu would be able to solve the case tonight, so why should he take this risk? It's better to rest for a day in peace.

Sure enough, the next day, the patrol leader came over and informed him: "Mr. Fang, the murder case of the Japanese businessman yesterday has been solved, and the murderer has also been arrested by us, so you can move freely in the future, and you don't need to cooperate with the investigation of our patrol room." ”

Fang Hongjian naturally knew how this case was solved, but in order to confirm the conjecture in his heart, he still handed a good cigarette to the big head, made a pot of tea, and then first praised: "Oh, Mr. Patrol, your detection efficiency is really high, with such a powerful patrol as a guarantee, we ordinary people can feel much more at ease." ”

Taking advantage of the smug face of this patrolman, Fang Hong gradually asked curiously: "Mr. Patrolman, can you tell me how this case was solved?" ”
