Mitsui & Co.

The obese Mitsui Fukushi knelt on the mat and looked at the portrait of his younger brother Mitsui Shou, the secretary stood next to him, the secretary was originally Mitsui Shou's secretary, and now he has become his secretary, since Mitsui Shou died, the Japanese Mitsui Foundation had to reappoint a person to replace Mitsui Shou's work in Shanghai Mitsui Foreign Company, so Mitsui Shou's brother Mitsui Fukushi was sent over.

After a long time, Mitsui Shoufu got up and asked, "Has the murderer of my brother been found?" ”

The secretary bent down and bowed his head: "Mr. Mitsui, not yet, so far, there are no clues in the patrol room of the public concession, this is the case file that I managed to get from the patrol room!" As he spoke, he opened the briefcase in his hand, took out a brown paper bag and handed it over.

Mitsui Fu took the bag and opened it, took out a stack of Wen Jiàn and looked at it, and the secretary introduced it on a plate: "Sir, according to the examination of the coroner of the patrol room, Mr. Mitsui Shou was killed by someone who cut his throat with a sharp weapon, including Mitsubishi Yoko's Suzuki Jiro and the four ronin samurai all died in the same method, the murderer's methods were very cruel, fast and ruthless, basically a fatal blow, and the coroner also came to an almost unbelievable conclusion that the four samurai died with the same knife, Mr. Mitsui Kotoshi and Mr. Jiro Suzuki also died from the same knife! ”

Mitsui Fuku didn't look very fast, he frowned and raised his head after listening to the secretary's introduction, "Died from the same knife?" What do you mean? ”

The secretary swallowed his saliva and explained: "It means that if you kill four samurai, the murderer only makes one move, and if you kill two gentlemen, the murderer also only makes one move!" ”

Hearing this explanation, Mitsui Fu's pupils suddenly shrank, and the cold glint in his eyes flickered, and only after a few seconds did he say in a voice: "Understood." The murderer is an extremely skilled man! This person is not only skillful, but also unhesitating, ruthless, and unusually ruthless, with this kind of skill, and using this method to kill, in addition to professional killers, there are only agents! ”

The secretary agrees with Mitsui's inference. He nodded: "Yes, sir! ”

Mitsui Fu pondered for a moment, looked at the portrait of Mitsui Shou and asked, "It is said that my brother had a conflict with Xiao Zhenlei of Zhenhua Company before he died?" ”

"Hayi!" The secretary said, and then recounted the cause and effect of the incident in detail.

After listening to this, Mitsui Fu asked, "Do you think it is possible that my brother was killed by Xiao Zhenlei, or that he sent someone to kill him?" ”

"I've thought about this before!" The secretary said as he reached out and held the frame of his glasses, "Logically. It is unlikely that Xiao Zhenlei killed people or sent someone to kill him, because he had no motive for killing Mr. Mitsui Shou and Mr. Suzuki Jiro, and even if there was a conflict between them, this contradiction was not enough for him to commit murder, after all, Mr. Mitsui Shou and Mr. Suzuki Jiro did not cause damage to his interests. He had no reason to kill them, unless he was crazy and could kill for no reason, in fact he wasn't, you can continue to look at the case file, the patrol room found some torture instruments at the scene of their death, which were used for execution, and there were still some blood stains on the torture instruments. However, there were no traces of torture on the bodies of the two gentlemen and the four samurai, and the patrol room deduced that there were two possibilities, one was that the two gentlemen and the four samurai had kidnapped the murderer. The murderer had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and at the last moment he broke free from the torture instrument and killed four samurai and then two gentlemen, the second possibility is that the two gentlemen kidnapped someone, and when the murderer was executing the man, the murderer broke in, killed them and rescued the kidnapped person. The conclusion of the patrol house is more inclined to the first possibility, because if it is the second case. The murderer could not have forced the two gentlemen into a corner and killed them and let the four samurai alone, he had to deal with the four samurai first. Then you can deal with the two gentlemen, it is clear that this second type may not be logical, and in addition to the two gentlemen and the four samurai, there are only traces of another person at the scene, there is no trace of the other second person, and no traces have been found to be cleaned up, and the traces of the other person are obviously left by the murderer, and according to the traces left by the murderer found at the scene by the patrol room, she is a woman".

"Woman? Hmph, I knew that he would die at the hands of a woman sooner or later, and as I expected! Mitsui Fu snorted coldly, and after scolding, he continued to read the case file, which showed that the patrol room immediately investigated some of the last women that the six deceased had contacted before death after speculating that the murderer was a woman, and these women were also called by the patrol room one by one to assist in the investigation, but unfortunately, according to the investigation, those women were just ordinary people, and there was alibi evidence at the time of the incident.

After finding this, the clues of the patrol room were broken, because on the day of the incident, Mitsui Shou gave the entire foreign bank a day off, because no one went to work, so there were no witnesses, so there was no way to know the identity of the murderer, and the traces left at the scene were not enough for the patrol room to find out the identity of the murderer.

After reading the case file, Mitsui Fu closed his eyes and pondered, and only after a long time did he open his eyes and return the case file to the secretary and instructed: "The matter of the case, you still have to continue to urge the patrol room to investigate, and if there are any clues or progress, you must immediately report to me!" ”

The secretary bowed his head and said, "Hayi! ”

"And!" Mitsui Fu continued: "Although it is unlikely that my brother's death was done by Xiao Zhenlei, but he exposed our Mitsui & Co.'s bribery of him in public at the bidding meeting, and defrauded my brother of his money, this is against our Mitsui & Co., and against our Great Japanese Empire, his behavior disgraced Mitsui & Co., and disgraced the Mitsui family, I can't just let him go, I want to make his life difficult, do you know his situation?" Who else is in his family? ”

The secretary said: "Sir, I have already sent someone to check his details, his family all starved to death during a famine a few years ago, and he is the only one left, but he is now in a hot fight with two women, and the relationship should be not ordinary!" ”

Mitsui Shou was a little skeptical when he heard this: "Oh? Famine and starvation? So his family is poor? If that's the case, then where did he get the money to start Zhenhua Company? ”

The secretary immediately said: "This is also something that almost all the people in the Ten Mile Ocean Field don't understand, how can a poor boy suddenly be so rich, even if he is Yan Laojiu's sworn brother, Yan Laojiu can't give him such a big support, right?" All of this has always been a mystery to everyone! ”

"There must be a story in this!" Mitsui Fu came to this conclusion, and remembered that the secretary said that Xiao Zhenlei had two good women, so he asked, "What's the matter with those two women?" You talk about it".

"Hayi!" The secretary agreed, and then said: "The two women are students of Aurora College, one is named Wang Yanan, eighteen years old, the family lives in other places, the family is a rich man in the countryside, there are some fields, and the other is called Cheng Baguio, the home is here on the beach, her father is called Cheng Yusheng, opened a Yusheng textile factory, the factory has hundreds of female workers, we Mitsui Foreign Company still has 30% of the shares in their factory, a few months ago, Cheng Yusheng made a mistake in decision-making, Hoarded a large number of yarn ready to produce cotton cloth in large quantities, but who knows that the cotton cloth market is affected by the international market, extremely sluggish, so Yusheng prevents a large number of cotton cloth produced by the factory from being hoarded in the warehouse and cannot be sold, resulting in a shortage of funds in Yusheng Textile Factory, and even the salaries of the female workers in the factory have not been paid for several months. When Mr. Mitsui Shou was alive, he also purchased a batch of cotton cloth from Yusheng Textile Factory every month to relieve their financial pressure, so as not to let Yusheng Textile Factory go bankrupt, even so, Yusheng Textile Factory is not far from the time of closure, and now the feelings of female workers in the factory are very unstable, and they may break out at any time! ”

"Oh? Is there such a relationship? The secretary's words made Mitsui Fu's eyes light up, and he instantly had a plan in his mind that made Xiao Zhenlei's face ugly, and asked, "Let me ask you, how big is the Yusheng Textile Factory?" How much is the asset? ”

The secretary said: "There are about 500 female workers, and there are 300 textile machines, and now the assets should not exceed 100,000 taels!" ”

Mitsui Fu thought about it, and said with a sneer on his face: "Give you a task, you find someone to release the news, just say that Cheng Yusheng, the owner of Yusheng Textile Factory, has no money, and the factory is about to be unable to hold on, and he is going to sell the factory cheaply and run away!" ”

After hearing this, the secretary frowned and said, "Sir, in this way, those hundreds of female workers will definitely get the news, and they will definitely make trouble, and it is very possible to make trouble to the public office!" ”

Mitsui Fu said coldly: "I just want them to go to the trial to make trouble, isn't his daughter Cheng Biyao on good terms with Xiao Zhenlei?" I just don't let Xiao Zhenlei get his wish, I want to force Cheng Yusheng to marry his daughter to me, so that Xiao Zhenlei can only stare dryly, if Cheng Yusheng wants to bring the textile factory back to life, someone must eat the cotton cloth hoarded in his warehouse, who dares to buy his cotton cloth at this time? Only I dare, if he doesn't marry his daughter to me and don't transfer a part of the equity to me, how do I think he can get through this difficult time? There is a huge pressure from the public prosecutor, and there are female workers making trouble, and he can only beg me if he wants to get out of this crisis! ”

The secretary clarified Mitsui Fu's thoughts, nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, but there are two problems here, first, others dare not buy Cheng Yusheng's cotton cloth, why do you want to buy it?" Aren't you afraid that the capital chain will be broken? Now these things are scrap when pressed on the hands, and it will be hot soon, and no one will buy cotton cloth! Second, you ignore one person, Xiao Zhenlei, he is a rich man, can't he inject capital into Cheng Yusheng's factory? Or maybe he spent some money to buy the cotton cloth of Cheng Yusheng Textile Factory, although this batch of cotton cloth is useless, but he can please his father-in-law, what is it to lose some money?
