The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 179 The "Blue Shirt Club" Debate

"Boss, what do the Japanese want to do?"

Xu Qinghe and others also came to work. They all entered Cheng Mo's office together. Today is the last day to solve the case within a deadline.

If you can't solve the case, although it won't become a joke, you will definitely be criticized and looked down upon.

"Kitaro Miyamoto said that Taro Nojiri was killed by the killer of the Blue Clothes Club." Cheng Mo said.

"The killers of the Blue Clothes Club. Although the people of the Blue Clothes Club are not good people, the most they kill are traitors. How could they attack ordinary Japanese expatriates?"

"Xu Qinghe, don't forget who Taro Nojiri works for." Lin Huarong reminded.

"Tongyuan Yangxing, that mysterious Japanese Black Dragon Society leader Inoue Hiaki?" Xu Qinghe said "Ouch".

"Behind the Zodiac Society is Inoue Hiaki, but his whereabouts are mysterious and we have no substantial evidence, so there is nothing we can do against him." Lin Huarong spread his hands.

"Does Taro Nojiri have any dealings with those people from the Zodiac Society?" Cheng Mo asked.

"The boss is right. The Japanese say the murderer is from the Blue Clothes Club, so do we have to listen to them?" Xu Qinghe said, "It is not the Japanese's turn to intervene in the concession matter."

"Detective Cheng, I think the Japanese speculation is not necessarily unreasonable. The Tongyuan Foreign Company is behind the scenes of smuggling opium. It may have something to do with the Blue Clothes Club. Maybe Taro Nojiri is Is the key player in their opium smuggling link not the 'Blue Shirt Club' but Boss Du's Heng Club?" Lin Huarong analyzed, "In Shanghai, the only one who dares to directly challenge the Japanese is Boss Du. The others don’t have the guts.”

"According to the agreement reached between the concession and Japan, any anti-Japanese activities and anti-Japanese and communist propaganda are not allowed in the concession. This is our job. If the Blue Clothes Club acts recklessly in the concession and destroys the stability and harmony of the concession society, so will we. We need to arrest people." Cheng Mo said, "But when we solve cases and arrest people, we must base our efforts on facts. We cannot convict or arrest people randomly without evidence."

Of course Cheng Mo knew that although Boss Du had done many bad things, he had not lost his national integrity and was much better than the other "reckless" ones.

Zhang Xiaolin, he is very ambitious, and the Japanese also intend to find him, and they have many contacts with him in private.

"This cannot be counted unless we have substantial evidence that he was with the Zodiac Society personnel and went to take a bath in the gang hall. This is normal consumption."

Huang Mazi was old, didn't want to cause trouble, and was reluctant to part with millions of dollars in property, so he hid in the French Concession and started an apartment, which was a wise way of protecting himself.

"We have just banned the activities of the Zodiac Society in the concession and wanted to arrest Chang Yuqing, the president of the Zodiac Society, and others. They secretly protected Chang Yuqing so that we could not catch him. Now they want to use us to suppress and crack down. 'Blue Clothes Club', this wishful thinking is very loud."

"He has been to the Grand View Garden Bath several times, does it count?"

Boss Du is not a reckless man, and the people below him do not dare to go beyond him and have their own way. Besides, although Boss Du is not in Shanghai, he can still control the situation in Shanghai.

Even if the people in Hengshe knew that Tongyuan Foreign Company was a secret service agency, they would not attack an employee without warning.

And Taro Nojiri is just one of the many customer specialists of Tongyuan Matheson Co., and he is not conspicuous. If he were conspicuous, Inoue Hiaki would not let him be responsible for the liaison in the "dog team".

The "dog team" is only responsible for information gathering, tracking and surveillance. This is only indirect evil and is difficult to detect. As for competition in the tobacco and soil business, it does exist, but if it doesn’t reach that point, what’s the use of killing a middleman? It's better to just grab the other party's warehouse directly.

Isn't that what they did before, but now they are living more and more, giving up the areas they are good at?

In short, killing for profit is not justified in revenge.

Commemorating the first anniversary of the Battle of Songhu in revenge killings may sound reasonable, but it cannot withstand scrutiny. China is in a weak position in international public opinion. Even if there is a large amount of irrefutable evidence, Europe and the United States will choose to do so in order to safeguard their own interests. Turn a blind eye, since the person who died was not a Westerner anyway.

The assassination of Japanese expatriates is simply to give the Japanese a reason to kill one person, and the other party will describe it as killing ten or a hundred. When the time comes, all the Japanese who died normally will be blamed on the Chinese. This matter Don't think that they can't do it and fake it. This is an important part of their "craftsman" spirit.

"Let's not make random guesses here. The investigation must be based on facts. As long as evidence is found, it cannot be true or false. No matter whether it is the work of the 'Blue Clothes Society' or not, there is no way to investigate." Cheng Mo said, "The key points are the murder weapon and the blood-spattered murder clothes. If you can find the same two, there will be a breakthrough in the case."

"But now there are no clues in the search for the murder weapon and murder clothes, so how can we search for them?" Lin Huarong spread his hands and said.

"In fact, after receiving the alarm, Dacheng Detective searched the one kilometer surrounding area with the crime scene as the center point, but found nothing. The murder weapon was obviously taken away by the murderer." Xu Qinghe said, "After that, they Police dogs were also used, but they were not found.”

"The murderer obviously knew the patrol room's case-handling methods. This is enough to show that he is not an ordinary person. Ordinary people do not have such careful thoughts and are able to leave no trace at the scene."

"Did Cheng Tan use a police dog?" Cheng Mo asked.

"Well, I borrowed one from the police dog team to find the murder weapon. Before I could find it, the case was handed over and our leader took over." Xu Qinghe said.

"The murderer had blood spattered on his body and smelled of blood. Seven or eight hours had passed since the crime occurred, but it was early in the morning, so the smell should have been preserved. Even if the police dog could not find the murder weapon, it could at least determine the murderer's route... …”

"Old Xu, go and invite Dacheng Tan over."

"Yes."

A moment later, Inspector Cheng Peisheng arrived. Originally, he had been hiding on the side, preparing to watch Cheng Mo's jokes.

As the case progressed, people from the Japanese consulate came, and then the deputy director of Japanese citizenship, Akagi Kiyoshito, sent his close subordinates over.

It was obviously because he put pressure on Cheng Mo about this case that he realized that this case was probably not as simple as it seemed.

This case was a hot potato. If it was still in his hands, all the pressure would have been put on him. Now that he had nothing to do, Cheng Mo had to bear all the burden.

I'm glad, but also a little proud. This is the consequence of being young and energetic. Who made you want to steal a case and make meritorious service? Now that you're fine, in the end, you still have to come and beg yourself.

If I had known it earlier, why bother?
