my wife is a consul

There are three bridges across the Heijiang River in the five provinces of the south of the Yangtze River, one of which is a railway and highway bridge with a total length of 5.4 kilometers. The north of the bridge is Xin'an City, Nanping Road, Longbei Province, and the south of the bridge is Heishan City, Jiangning Province. area.

Because the South Bridge and North Bridge belong to different federations, Jiangning and Heishan belong to the Kingdom of Gryffinni, and Longbei and Nanping Road belong to the four northern provinces, so there are also border inspections similar to customs.

Because the bridge was built by the Kingdom of Gryffinni, the border checkpoints of both sides are located in Xin'an City to the north of the bridge.

The south of Xin'an Railway Station, which is near the bridge, belongs to the Kingdom area.

Those who take the road bridge must be checked here, even railway passengers, they have to get off here, and board the train again after passing the Kingdom border inspection, although it is the same train.

Thanks to this, Xin'an City is also the most prosperous city on Nanping Road in Longbei.

The small area from the frontier inspection to the bridge at the southern end of the Xin'an Railway Station belongs to the Kingdom area, but it is a leased area of ​​the frontier inspection, and needs to pay a certain fee to the Longbei Province every year.

Although this area is small, it is the most prosperous area in Xin'an City. The buildings and buildings are obviously different. There is even a ten-story glass curtain building standing on the bank of the Heijiang River, called "Scherfer Building". , was built by the steel magnate Scherfer's family, and all the imperial companies that have business in the north, including some Japanese companies, use this place as a springboard for their headquarters.

In fact, there are more companies that are keen to invest in the four provinces of the Northern Territory than those from Grefenni and Dongying.

Recently, the atmosphere in Xin'an City has become a little weird. Martial law was suddenly imposed in the northern urban area.

In the southern concession area, an infantry company of the Second Infantry Regiment of the Black Mountain Brigade was stationed.

……

Linjiang Road in the concession is all Dongying-style buildings, and most of them live in Dongying businessmen.

The Mei Mansion at No. 21 Linjiang Road seems to be just an ordinary place among these Dongying buildings.

But at this moment, Lu Ming's desk was scattered with photos from various angles of the Mei Mansion, as well as people who had recently entered and left the Mei Mansion.

This is a five-story building very close to Dongying Street, Linjiang Road.

It was originally the property of the Yellow River Trading Company, but it is now sold to the Intelligence Section of the Inspectorate of the Black Mountain Brigade.

The intelligence department has just been established, and the head of the section is concurrently held by Lu Gaoyi, the captain of the gendarmerie.

Standing on the fifth floor here, from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can overlook the street view of Dongying Street.

The study where Lu Ming lives is the fifth floor of this building.

The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were slightly opened, and Lu Ming stood in front of the window, looking at the cherry blossoms on Dongying Street and the exotic atmosphere of the wooden house in the distance.

Standing beside Lu Ming was Zhao Desheng. He was wearing an olive green officer's uniform and standing straight.

Now he is the captain's staff of the intelligence department.

Once a person betrays his previous beliefs, many unknowable changes may occur. Zhao Desheng has the kind of personality that is distorted. When he grabs his former companions, he is merciless. He became extremely ferocious, more cruel and ruthless than anyone else.

In fact, Lu Ming is not disgusted with the concept of "North-South Alliance for Peace and Co-prosperity".

Generally speaking, it is a belief that the north and the south should integrate and jointly overthrow the imperial rule.

But the manipulator behind it is too complicated, with the support of Jiangbei warlord Gao Baoshan, and even received secret funding from the Dongying people. …

From the list given by Zhao Desheng, they were arrested quickly and interrogated in surprise, following the clues.

But he didn't want to catch an important person in the organization whose status was much higher than Zhao Desheng.

He is a very famous squire in Jinkang County.

He explained that the Mei Mansion at No. 21 Linjiang Road here is an intelligence organization of Dongying people, and it supports the "North-South Alliance" in various ways, including the training of armed personnel.

Of course, the squire didn't know which Japanese power organization the Mei Mansion was, and he wasn't qualified enough to really get in touch with the Mei Mansion.

He just casually mentioned a few words while listening to an important leader in the alliance. That leader lived in Jiangbei for a long time, and he would never come to Jiangnan now.

Obviously, the organization has no sense of strict confidentiality, let alone relevant regulations, so such confidential matters can be used as talking points.

It involved the people of Dongying, and according to the extremely rich war history full of various schemes in his previous life, Lu Ming also faintly smelled the conspiracy in it.

Therefore, since the Brigade Headquarters didn't have any matters that he had to deal with at the moment, he simply came to the Xin'an Concession in person to supervise the case.

Lu Gaoyi also personally went out to investigate the case.

Looking at the people who came and went in and out of the Mei Mansion these days, nothing can be seen.

"Desheng, do you still think that the prospect of the organization you were in before, even if the idea has been realized, is the prospect still as good as you imagined?" Lu Ming looked at Zhao Desheng, who was respectful to the side.

Zhao Desheng gritted his teeth, "It's all a lie, and many of my good brothers died because of it!" It seems that he hated this organization no more.

There was a knock on the study door, and Heitou came in with a fax in his hand.

Seeing that Lu Ming didn't say anything, Zhao Desheng stood at attention, "Appointed seat, I will resign from my humble position!"

Lu Ming nodded, and took the fax from Heitou.

It was Chen Rongfu, director of the Nanping Secrecy Bureau, who personally sent a telegram to the External Liaison Department of the Montenegro Military Control Commission. The words were polite, asking those detained subordinates if they could be released?It is said that the misunderstanding caused by the different customs between the North and the South should not damage the trust between the North and South Commissions for such a trivial matter.

This Chen Rongfu is a demon with bloody hands, in Nanping, the kind that children dare not cry at night when his name is really mentioned.

"It's better to call the Liaison Department to deal with it in Mandarin!" Lu Ming waved his hand, and the blackhead nodded.

Just as Heitou went out, there was another knock on the study door, and Yuluan went to open the door.

It was Lu Gaoyi who came, looking a little excited.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "What new clues have you found?"

"Yes, yes, Daddy is wise!" Lu Gaoyi opened the folder in his hand and handed it to Lu Ming.

Inside is a photo of a young Japanese man, with his hair standing up like a samurai, a very typical Japanese young man learning kendo.

"Oh? It's a photo of Asaba Nagamasa when he was young." Lu Ming smiled.

The owner of Mei Mansion is Asaba Nagamasa, an old man in his 70s with a mysterious origin.

I have seen a lot of photos of this old man from various angles recently, and I can recognize him at a glance because of the photos of him when he was young.

The paper under the folder photo is densely recorded Asaba Nagamasa's resume.

From going to school to doing business later, the information is recorded in great detail.

Today, Asaba Nagamasa is the royal merchant of Kato Nineteen, the lord of Baqi Road in the Yingzhou Kingdom.

Yakido, the Kato family?

Lu Ming frowned slightly. Kato Shoichi, who committed suicide by caesarean section, was a member of the Kato family. According to his seniority, he was Kato Nineteen's cousin.

After thinking about it, he asked, "How did you find out this guy's identity?"

Although the so-called Lord Kato's royal businessman, it is not necessarily true that his sponsorship of the "North-South Alliance" is doing things for Kato Nineteen, but at the very least, he has found some kind of breakthrough.
