Chapter 88: The Upper Echelons of the Concession Clash of Arms

The two British patrol officers were both police officers at the rank of inspector, and they were standing far away when the accident happened just now, but they all heard what Captain Watt said just now, and after thinking about it for a while, they replied that Captain Watt's account was correct, and this was the case.

This made Iwai Eichi angry, but seeing that Akagi was still confused, and the six days of capture were too seriously injured, and he was about to die if he didn't just bleed, he could only nod his head and agree with this conclusion, but asked for immediate treatment of the injured day catcher. Seeing that the people around him were not willing to help, he could only let his secretary and driver go to bandage the six days to stop the bleeding, and he walked to Akagi himself, wanting to hear what he said, but the other party's face was swollen and several teeth were lost, and he couldn't speak at this time! He could only think about taking him and the six days back first and sending him to the hospital for treatment......

Taking advantage of this time, Sheehan called Li Junhao, plus Colonel Hobbs, the military attachΓ©, and after the three talked in a low voice for a while, both agreed with Li Junhao's suggestion and unified their thoughts. Then seeing Iwai's movements, Sheehan immediately stopped him and said, "Mr. Iwai, you can't take these people away!" They are suspected of assassinating our American diplomats, and we must investigate clearly before deciding what to do! Hobbs waved his hand directly, and a team of marines with submachine guns forced up, and no one was allowed to go!

Iwai Eiichi scolded angrily in his heart: It's really a baga! Now it's my own side that has suffered a big loss, and you want to detain our people? But the current situation is stronger than people, and the United States is not something that they Japan can offend now, so they can only suppress their anger, take two steps forward, and say in a low voice: "Mr. Sheehan, what do you want?" ”

"Not good! Our diplomat was chosen to assassinate, and then you Japanese came to rob the murderer, and you must give us an account! Don't tell me that these killers are not Japanese! Sheehan said disdainfully, "If you dare to say no, I'll have the captive and the three corpses stripped naked right now to see if they're all dressed...... Oh, what's it called? Come to think of it...... Crotch! ”

"You ......" Iwai Eiichi was so angry that he almost turned his back on it, and cursed in his heart: Damn Yankee, you actually insulted the underwear habits of our Yamato nation! It's so hateful! But he didn't dare to curse, nor did he dare to really let the Americans inspect the prisoners and corpses - although he didn't know, he also believed in his heart that these killers were Japanese, but he still didn't know which agency sent them? Thinking of this, he was even more angry, these damn red deer, without their consent, carried out assassination activities in the concession, it is really hateful! What's more: the assassination attempt failed! Embarrassing yourself and wiping their butts!

After gritting his teeth three times and scolding his mother three times in his heart, Iwai Eiichi rubbed his somewhat numb cheeks, returned to a relatively calm posture, and said: "Okay, I admit that in this matter, our Japanese side has not done a good enough job, and we will definitely seriously consider the reasonable demands put forward by the United States......

"Don't think about it!" Sheen waved his hand and said, "We ask you to immediately withdraw from the board of directors of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the police department, this is the minimum requirement!" Seeing Iwai's face change greatly, he continued: "Since the end of 1937, your Japanese side has divided and occupied the eastern and northern areas of the public concession, and has created a Japanese concession that is not recognized by the public law of all countries. ”

"Impossible!" Iwai Eiichi immediately said angrily, how dare he agree to this condition, since the end of World War I, Japan has replaced Germany and occupied a place on the board of directors of the General Administration of Industry; A few years ago, after a series of bribery, inducement, coercion and other means, it was arranged for Akagi to enter the police department as deputy director, and gradually brought in hundreds of Japanese patrols, these are the dependents of their future control of the entire concession, who dares to say give up?

"Then there is no way, let's report this matter separately and wait for the order of the superiors!" After Sheehan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Ah...... Mr. Sheehan, please wait a minute! Iwai Eichi hurriedly stopped, "Mr. Sheehan, please take a moment. As you know, I am only the Deputy Consul General and cannot decide on this matter, so please allow me to discuss it with my superiors. Please! As he spoke, it was a ninety-degree bow. This is a common way for little devils, it seems to be polite and thoughtful, but in fact, as long as it is restrained or hurts its feet, it will be pitiful, but when it turns its head, once it eases up, it will return to its arrogant and domineering appearance.

"In that case, I will give you a day, and by this time tomorrow, you must give me a clear answer." Sheehan said, "However, in this case, we will take these four killers away!" ”

"This ...... Mr. Sheehan, this is a violent case in the concession, and I think it should be handled by the police department......" Saying this, Iwai Eiichi asked for help from Dong Mason, the deputy general manager of the Ministry of Industry Bureau next to him.

After Mason arrived at the scene, he was ignored and still felt a little surprised, and when he saw Iwai's eyes, he also felt that he should show his attitude, so he stepped forward and said: "Mr. Sheehan, I think what Director Iwai said is still reasonable, it is better for the case in the concession to be handled by the police department, after all, your consulate general is not a law enforcement agency......"

Commissioner of Police Tress, who came over with him, also said: "Please rest assured Mr. Sheehan, our police department will definitely investigate the case and give you an explanation......"

It is difficult for Weber, the deputy director of the American Division, to speak, although he is employed by the Ministry of Industry, but as an American, he still has to be led by the Consulate General, and now that things are developing to this point, it is difficult to intervene with his position.

Sheehan hesitated a little, the Consulate General is indeed not a place to investigate the case, and it doesn't seem good to bring back three dead people and a seriously injured killer......

At this time, Colonel Hobbes, the military attache of the Consulate General, came over and said: "Since this is the case, then we have three requirements: first, the deputy director of the case, Officer Webb, is fully responsible, and no one else is allowed to interfere; second, because he was suspected of being Japanese, the Japanese deputy director had to be suspended until the case was clarified; Third, the six Japanese arresters who were suspected of attacking our personnel with guns just now were dismissed from their posts and detained, and handed over to Deputy Director Weber for trial. ”

"This ...... All right! "Iwai Eiichi compromised, Akagi Kiyuki can't go to work now, six days of fishing is nothing......
