Lost and Spy

Chapter 235 Conflict between Japan and France
"Kuroki Mata? What did you ask him to do?"

When Meng Shaoyuan mentioned Kuroki Mata, He Guangtao was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "This person was transferred not long ago. The original director of the Japanese Concession Municipal Office was called Ichikawa Yuma. Why did Kuroki replace him? There is another inside story.

Since the national government took back the British Concession in Hankou and the German Concession, and established the first and third special zones, the Hankou Concession has actually evolved into a dispute between France and Japan.

The Japanese have been quietly expanding the concession, which inevitably touched the interests of the French, so don't look at these great powers, they always talk so nicely on weekdays, but once their own interests are violated, who will Don't even want to.

In December last year, I remember that it was just after the foreigner’s Christmas. There was a French couple named Alfonso who came to Hankou to play and disappeared after entering the Japanese Concession.Coincidentally, at that time, the French and the Japanese were entangled with each other because of the interests left over from Hualou Street in the British Concession.The French took this opportunity to attack.

They said that Alfonso and his wife disappeared in the Japanese Concession, so the Japanese Concession must give an explanation and ensure the safety of Alfonso and his wife.As for the Japanese, they only promised to try their best to solve the case, but there has been no real progress.

In the end, the French couldn't wait any longer. They quietly sent their own inspectors to the Japanese Concession to investigate. Who did you guess found in the end?Yuma Ichikawa, former director of the Municipal Affairs Office of the Japanese Concession.

Specifically, it is such a thing, Alfonso and his wife went to eat at a restaurant owned by a Japanese, and a dispute arose because of the language barrier. And Alfonso shook hands.

Alfonso is tall and big, but Ichikawa Yuma's wife and brother were beaten up, how could he be reconciled?They secretly found a few rogues, caught up with Alfonso, and originally wanted to beat him up to vent their anger, but who would have thought that a rogue would stab Alfonso to death without knowing the severity.

This matter became serious, and Ichikawa Yuzhen's wife and brother did nothing but kill Alfonso's wife and buried the body..."

Meng Shaoyuan listened with gusto: "How did the inspector know this?"

"This detective has some skills, his name is Nasri, and he is very French. He followed the route of Alfonso and his wife before they disappeared, slowly found clues, and then found a wanderer. He probably paid a lot of money. Let him tell the truth." He Guangtao continued after taking a sip of wine:

"Although I knew what happened, and even found the bodies of Alfonso and his wife under the guidance of that ronin, the Japanese side, especially Ichikawa Yuma, refused to admit that this matter was related to them. The Japanese ronin who provided the information immediately He also disappeared, maybe he was silenced?
You can't even think of something more extreme. Nasri asked people to send the information back, and when he was about to collect further information, he also disappeared.

This time the French were really anxious, and they filed a diplomatic lawsuit with the Japanese side, demanding that the murderer be severely punished to ensure the safety of their detectives.The Japanese are the most defensive, so they insisted on one point and presented evidence.

A few days later, the Japanese government found an excuse to transfer Ichikawa Yuma back to the country, and sent Kuroki Asada to take his place.As for the Alfonso case and the whereabouts of Nasri, it has always been pending.For this reason, the Japanese-French Concession has almost become an enemy. "

Meng Shaoyuan listened very carefully.

Seems like it could be used?
The great powers are always full of contradictions, and even colluding together is nothing more than a relationship of interest.

"Nasri may not be dead." Meng Shaoyuan said to himself.

"No way? You've been missing for several months, are you still alive?" He Guangtao looked a little unbelieving.

"After all, he is a detective. The Japanese want to kill him. Once it is exposed, the impact will be too great." Meng Shaoyuan pondered there: "Of course, this is just my guess. Guangtao, let's intervene in the matter of Lixingshe No?"

"Why should we intervene?" He Guangtao disagreed: "None of these French and Japanese is a good person. We hope they will fight immediately. However, the station master Zhou also asked us to do some investigations, and I have the knowledge I made a list of some people involved in this matter, not to help the French solve the case, but just to see if there is anything we can use."

Needless to say, none of these Lixingshe spies is simple.

We all know that "the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit".

"Guangtao, I need to see something." Meng Shaoyuan almost had a plan in his mind: "Can you give me the information and list you have in hand?"

"Of course there is no problem." He Guangtao didn't have time to think: "I will send it to you tomorrow."

"Don't do it tomorrow." Meng Shaoyuan said hastily, "I'll follow you to get the wine after I finish drinking."

He Guangtao complied.

Seeing his appearance, I couldn't help it: "Shao Yuan, we are classmates and good friends, so I have to ask some things that shouldn't be asked. You came to Wuhan this time, and you didn't inform our webmaster. I just joined me. I asked about Heimu Matian again, and I need relevant information. Is the mission you came this time related to Heimu Matian?"

"Guangtao, I'm here in a private capacity this time." Meng Shaoyuan didn't answer directly: "I'll just meet you, and you, don't tell anyone. Some things, the less people know, the better."

He Guangtao was shocked.

Meng Shaoyuan was secretly reminding him not to talk too much.

Ever since he met Meng Shaoyuan, he has endured this doubt until now, and he has not said it. He chatted with him just now and got interested in the conversation, so he asked more.But this violated the taboo of Lixing Society.

I haven't seen him for a while, but Meng Shaoyuan has changed a little bit, and he has a faint official authority on him.

Meng Shaoyuan was promoted to the deputy section chief of the headquarters, and his identity was far from him. The less he knew about some things, the safer he was for himself.

"Shaoyuan, thank you for your reminder." He Guangtao cheered up: "I am a talkative person, don't worry, you have never been to Wuhan, and I have never seen you. The signature on that document is mine. I went to Nanjing to pester you to sign it."

"Guang Tao, thank you very much." Meng Shaoyuan cupped his hands: "Do you think I look like an official? The tone of my speech is also different from when I was in school? But let me say something from the bottom of my heart. I have never forgotten our brotherhood, but sometimes, there are tasks and we have to. Brother Guangtao forgive me."

"Shaoyuan, it's a shame to say that." He Guangtao said: "When you were in school, although you were the youngest, you had the most ideas, and we were all willing to listen to you. After graduation, your development is also very important The fastest, when I met Rong Yang that time, I told him that the luckiest thing for us is to know you, and the faster you get promoted, the better for us. In the future, we must have your support.”

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Don't worry about this, as long as I, Meng Shaoyuan, can help, I will never shirk my responsibility. Guangtao, after drinking this glass of wine, let's go get the materials together."
