The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 170: Visitors from the Japanese Consulate

"Boss, a person claiming to be the Japanese Consulate is waiting for you in the conference room." As soon as he returned to the Laozha prison, Lei Gang, who was staying at the prison, came up to him.

"What time is it now? Are the guards off work?" Cheng Mo said in surprise and looked at his watch. It was already 7:30 pm.

If it weren't for the case, he would have gone back from get off work long ago.

"Okay, invite someone to my office. You can go back after get off work." Cheng Mo waved his hand and gave an order. Although the case is urgent, he can't let his men work day and night. There are no clues about the murderer yet. , you still have to rest when you should.

There's no need to stay up all night in the trap room.

Cheng Mo had already asked Su Mo'er to book a room at the Central Hotel. In the past few days, because of the case, he probably couldn't take care of his regular commute. Su Mo'er was alone at home, and she didn't feel at ease. She might as well have stayed in a hotel. Safety.

Besides, the Central Hotel is owned by Lu Liankui, and with Lu Jiajun taking care of her, there is no problem with Su Moer's safety. It's just a matter of changing clothes in the summer.

This is not difficult to solve. One of him and Su Mo'er are a patrol officer, and the other is a doctor. Their professions are quite special. Overtime and night shifts are common, so they have spare changes of clothes whether they are in the hospital or the patrol room.

Even if they buy it now, they don't lack the money.

Of course, he could also ask Tang Tao to take Su Morer home, but during the wedding period, it was the time when the honey was mixed with oil, so it was better not to separate.

"Secretary Takeshita, you're welcome, please sit down." Although he was disgusted, Cheng Mo was still extremely polite and asked Takeshita to sit down.

The Central Hotel is close, and the conditions are much better than those in the prison. If you need anything, you can contact him with just one phone call. Even if he rents a room and stays there for ten and a half months, can Lu Liankui still kill him?

"Detective Cheng, excuse me."

"Inspector Cheng, I'm here for the murder of a resident of the Japanese Empire in the concession." Takeshita said.

"The first is to understand the case, and the second is to hope that Detective Cheng can solve the case as soon as possible and give justice to the deceased so that the deceased can rest in peace as soon as possible." Takeshita said.

"It is natural to solve the case as soon as possible. As for the facts of the case, the case is in the investigation stage. We are not allowed to disclose this to avoid causing unnecessary rumors." Cheng Mo directly refused to disclose the facts of the case, although he also knew that the Japanese had many ways To understand, but it is impossible to know from his side. At the same time, he also issued an injunction to his subordinates. Except for inquiries from superiors, they are not allowed to disclose the facts of the case to people who have nothing to do with the case.

"Who told Takeshita's secretary that Mr. Nojiri was assassinated? You knew it first even before the patrol room has found out the results?" Cheng Mo's eyes flashed with sharpness, he looked directly at Takeshita and asked.

"Thank you."

"Is Secretary Takeshita here to learn about the case, or does he have another purpose?"

When the person arrived, Cheng Mo looked up and saw that it was an old acquaintance, Takeshita, the second secretary of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai.

He did not want the pressure of public opinion outside the case to interfere with the investigation of the case, especially since this case involved the Japanese secret service in China. The case was highly sensitive and could easily be misled.

Out of politeness, Cheng Mo poured him a glass of water: "Secretary Takeshita is here this time. Why?"

"Inspector Cheng, a resident of the Japanese Empire was assassinated, and the consulate has the right to know the truth of the case!" Takeshita was slightly angry.

"My guess is that in the past six months, many overseas Chinese from our empire have been attacked and harassed in the concession. I am just basing this guess on this."

"Then are there any examples of Japanese nationals being assassinated and killed in the concession?"

"This..." Takeshita was suddenly asked. "Secretary Takeshita, please don't say things that are fabricated out of thin air. You are a diplomat. A diplomat's words should be rigorous and objective, and not random speculation. This will cause unnecessary consequences." Cheng Mo taught him a lesson directly. Get up the bamboo and come down.

"Inspector Cheng, I would like to know how far the case has progressed, okay?" Takeshita gritted his teeth and continued to ask.

"Regarding the progress of the investigation of the case, we will disclose it to the victim's family or to the public as appropriate. Secretary Takeshita will naturally know about it by then. But now, I can only have no comment." Cheng Mo knew what Takeshita wanted to do, and it was nothing more than I want to use myself to make a fuss.

It is conceivable that newspapers tomorrow morning, especially newspapers controlled by the Japanese and puppets, will definitely report on this case.

Some so-called inside information will even be released...

Whether he saw Takeshita today or not, he might be taken advantage of, and he would be in the eye of a storm of public opinion next.

There is no way to stop this. No matter who investigates this case, he will be the one in the eye of the storm of public opinion.

It is foreseeable that the Japanese will use the death of "Nojiri" to publicize that the concession is detrimental to the protection of Japanese expatriates, and then direct it to crack down on "anti-Japanese" and patriots, and then gain more convenience in activities in the concession and even law enforcement.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information from Cheng Mo, Takeshita could only leave in anger.

Cheng Mo looked at Takeshita's leaving figure, his face quickly darkened before he came back. A little irritated, he took out the cigarette case and found that there was only one cigarette left in it. He took it out, lit it and took two puffs, quickly adjusted his mentality and thoughts, and then grabbed Pick up the telephone on the table and dial a number.

"Mr. Tony, this is Cheng Mo. I have a situation to report to you." Cheng Mo made this call directly to Deputy Director Tony Kaiziwei. He has this power. He is from the Far East Team of the British Secret Service. Members, reporting directly to Tony Kaiziwei does not count as overstepping.

He told Tony Kaiziwei his concerns on the phone and hoped that preparations could be made early for the construction layout.

Tony Kaiziwei praised Cheng Mo's honesty and loyalty on the phone and encouraged him to continue investigating the case without any worries. He would always support him.

Although the British are not reliable, at least for now they will not let the Japanese do whatever they want. In addition to being shameless, the leaders of the great powers also have to face political pressure from domestic opponents. It is difficult to do anything. Even small things can make a comeback in the country.

Even if you are a strong person, you still have to maintain your face. If people can see through it, why are you having fun?

Besides, the Japanese are not as powerful as they advertised. The Chinese have been beaten like this, haven't they not surrendered yet?

On the contrary, they themselves can't bear it. Japan is a resource-poor country, and wars only focus on resources and industrial capabilities.

Japan has industrial capabilities, but they do not have production raw materials and resources. If they did not import raw materials such as oil, rubber, and scrap steel from Europe and the United States, would they still be able to continuously produce weapons and ammunition?

If you can't win quickly, you will get stuck in the quagmire.

Of course, only a few people can see this after all, and the vast majority of people do not have this command. And even in this situation, no one can be sure of the progress of the war. The British mentality now belongs to the ostrich Type.

As long as my interests are not damaged, I can last as long as I want. The interests of the Far East are extremely important to his current domestic collapse of the economy.

If blood cannot be drawn from overseas to replenish the country, the country will collapse immediately.

War, in fact, is sometimes a two-way choice, it just depends on who is the final winner.
