Chapter 667: Dancing on the Wire
"Sir, there is one more thing that I forgot to report to you just now." Before leaving the silk shop, Guo Hanjie suddenly caught up with him and said.
"What's the matter?"
"Didn't Wu Sibao snatch Zhang Xiaolin's ten boxes of tobacco? He is already quietly looking for a buyer to ship the goods." Guo Hanjie whispered.
"This guy remembers to eat and not beat him. He wants to die when the goods are shipped at this time?" Lu Xiyan still felt that he had overestimated the IQ of some people.
"After we beat Wu Sibao hard, his wealth shrank a lot and he was short of money. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to make Zhang Xiaolin's idea. Besides, he has learned his intelligence this time and is looking for opium merchants from other places." Guo Hanjie said.
"Did Ji Yunqing know that Wu Sibao robbed Zhang Xiaolin's goods?"
"It shouldn't be known yet. Last time, Ji Yunqing asked Wu Sibao to bear the losses alone because of your affairs. However, Lin Shiqun came forward to supplement Wu Sibao. Therefore, Wu Sibao is very likely to conceal this matter from Ji Yunqing." Guo Hanjie said.
"What about Lin Shiqun?"
"I don't know this. Although Wu Sibao and Lin Shiqun have a good relationship, they are not yet that level. There are rumors that Wu Sibao's wife has an affair with Lin Shiqun, which makes Lin Shiqun's wife Ye Yurou jealous. On No. 76, Lin Shiqun is forbidden to meet Yu Aizhen alone." Guo Hanjie smiled.
"Where did you hear these gossip news?"
"Feiu has a situation report every week. No matter whether the news is true or false, he will write down everything he hears and hand over it." Guo Hanjie explained.
"Okay, let the little bee stare at Wu Sibao. Ji Yunqing knew too early about what Wu Sibao did behind his back." Lu Xiyan ordered.
"Do you want to send someone to disguise yourself as a local businessman to contact Wu Sibao and touch his bottom?" Guo Hanjie asked.
"Yes, but you must not reveal it." Lu Xiyan reminded.
...
Jiangwan, East Asian Botanical Research Institute.
"Sir, my subordinate is back."
"Kishita, everything has been solved." Hattori Kazuno nodded slightly and asked expressionlessly.
"Hay, that man is a cleaning handyman in the church, and he is just a mute. I tricked him from home to an outsider's cemetery and solved it with one knife, but..."
"But what?"
"But just when I was about to bury the body, someone passed by, so I had to hide the body in the grass and leave." Kishita said.
"Didn't you go back?"
"It was dark at that time and I was not familiar with the terrain there, so I came back first." Kinoshita lowered his head and said, "Please rest assured that the place where I hid people is very secret. Even if it was not buried, in such a hot day, the body would rot in a few days. At that time, even if it was discovered, no one would recognize it."
"Well, this is the best." Hattori Kazuno snorted coldly.
"The captain of the service, Miss Huiko (the pseudonym of Shizuka Fujimoto) asked you to go to his office." A young military officer knocked on the door of a man in the service and reported.
"I understand." After wiping the Taidao, Ichinobu suddenly put the knife in the sheath and placed the knife on the knife holder.
"Miss Huiko." Hattori Kazuna walked into Shizuka Fujimoto's office, bent down slightly, and called him respectfully.
"Hatbet is here, I will move to the French Concession tomorrow. The institute will be held by Chief Tanaka. Of course, I will come back from time to time. From now on, your task is to protect the institute." Fujimoto Shizuka said solemnly.
"Miss Keiko, the special attack team of the Hattori family is not a nanny. Our responsibility is to attack and kill enemies on the battlefield. This is the real value of a samurai, so please forgive me for not accepting this task." Hattori Kazuno refused Fujimoto Shizuka's arrangement without hesitation.
"If you don't want to, I can go and tell the general of Hattori to where you came from and where you went." Fujimoto Shizuka had to know that Hattori Kazuo was in command like this, so she had known that she would not ask the special attack team to the top.
"Miss Huizi, what does this mean?"
"I don't need someone who disobeys the order here. Since you don't want to be this security captain, I can only change someone who wants to." Fujimoto Shizuka glanced at Hattori Kazuna and said.
"Miss Huizi, Hattori is not your slave. Come and go when you call me."
"Ichino Hatto, you are also a soldier. You should understand the principle that military orders are as good as a mountain. I am your commander. It would be fine if you don't obey my orders. Do you still want to disobey?" said Shizuka Fujimoto.
"Miss Huizi, except Hattori, I'm afraid no one can help you find out who collected cholera species specimens behind the scenes. Once someone conducts in-depth research on species specimens, you will find that this time the epidemic is man-made and will also expose the secret that the empire is secretly studying biological weapons. At that time, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"Just you?"
"Yes, I have traced some clues. In the past six months, Shanghai's medical device companies have imported research equipment from Europe, and there are 17 institutions and universities for bacterial culture and research. Recently, there are three agars used for the large number of imported bacterial cultures, including the School of Medicine of Zhendan University, the Pasteur Institute, and the Meng'an Company." Hattori Kazuna said.
Fujimoto Shizuka showed a little surprise.
"I'm surprised, Zhendan University School of Medicine uses a lot of agar as a medical research. This is normal. Shanghai Pasteur Institute is the only company in Shanghai that produces and manufactures cholera vaccines. They need to use a large amount of agar to cultivate bacterial strains. This is also normal. Only Meng'an Company, who imports agar at this time, does it feel strange?"
"Do you suspect that Meng'an Company collects cholera species specimens and then conducts research?" Fujimoto Shizuka asked.
"Isn't it?"
"Your guess is unfounded. As far as I know, Meng'an Company was founded by Dr. Lu Xiyan. He went to the quarantine area of Meilong Town with me. If he wants to collect cholera specimens for research, he can do it openly and there is no need to collect it secretly." Fujimoto Shizuka refuted.
"Yes, he can indeed openly collect bacterial specimens for research, but what if he doesn't want you to know that he does this?"
"This is just your guess. Maybe Meng'an's purchasing agar and scientific research equipment is another purpose?"
"It has another purpose, don't tell me, are they trying to develop new drugs?"
"It's hard to say. Dr. Lu is a student of Professor Daniel, and Professor Daniel has made great achievements in bacterial pharmacy." Fujimoto Shizuka said, "Maybe he is stimulated by this "cholera epidemic", Lu Xiyan wants to develop a new drug to fight cholera."
"Anyway, I don't believe that at this time, a company that is only engaged in drug trading will suddenly want to do research and development. It's ridiculous. Do Chinese people have the ability to develop new drugs?" Hattori Kazuno sneered, revealing his disdain.
Yes, can Lu Xiyan develop new drugs with his own strength? Fujimoto Shizuka also expressed serious doubts.
The development of new drugs is the patent of Europeans and Americans. I haven’t heard that Chinese people have the ability to develop a new drug. It’s not that they look down on the Chinese, but that they have no conditions in China.
If it is in Japan, there may be some hope.
"Then why did you act recklessly and send someone to assassinate Dr. Lu Xiyan?" Fujimoto Shizuka asked.
"I didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to bring him back. I know you are very interested in this Chinese man named Lu. If you want him to use it for you, you don't have to be so troublesome..."
"Idiot, what I want is not only for my use, but also for the hearts of the people."
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Hattori's eyes. He hated others saying that he was "stupid", especially Shizuka Fujimoto, the woman he liked.
"Hatbet, I hope that after you think clearly, if you want to stay, you can give me a good look at the institute."
In the end, Hattori Kazuna bowed seriously.
If he was driven back to Manchuria by Shizuka Fujimoto, then he would probably become a big joke for Hattori, which he would never accept.
...
"You are dancing on the steel wire, no, your plan is too risky, and there are too many uncontrollable places." Hu Yunzhi immediately expressed his objection after hearing Lu Xiyan's plan to provoke an internal fight between Ji Yunqing and Zhang Xiaolin.
"I know that this plan has many variables, but for now, it is still within my vision and control. If they can fight for both sides, it will only have benefits and no harm for us." Lu Xiyan said seriously.
"These two people are old and they are not stupid. Once they wake up, you will be in trouble." Hu Yunzhi's way.
"I know, but I was originally in opposition to them. Even if I know, they just hated me even more." Lu Xiyan explained, "If they fight in the internal battle and consume each other's strength, this will only benefit and not harm the anti-Japanese forces in the concession."
"This game of chess is too thrilling. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces."
"The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us now. If people like Ji Yunqing and Zhang Xiaolin gain power, then our great anti-Japanese cause will be a disaster. As long as these two people fall, the gang power in the concession will be loose, which will help us divide, attract and absorb and exploit it." Lu Xiyan said, "The Military Control Commission has issued a sanction order to Zhang Xiaolin. Even if I don't take action, the Military Control Commission will not let him go."
"But, will you be exposed if you rush forward like this?"
"No, I don't fight for power or profit in front of Tang Jin. I provoke the 'smoking ban', which is completely passive. If Zhang Xiaolin doesn't move my family, I won't be full and over. I will go against him, Zhang Xiaolin. At least many people think so." Lu Xiyan said, "Isn't it written in the newspaper? I'm furious for the beauty. Even the scandals I had with my students were written like this."
"To be honest, you and that Wu Jinyun..."
"Comrade Lao Hu, why don't you even believe me? I gave the full power of this matter to Meimei. Jin Yun escaped from marriage and returned to Shanghai. They were all the people Meimei went to the dock to pick her up. I haven't even seen her yet." Lu Xiyan said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I'm wrong. Who has made you so many rumors now? You have a slight slight word. Not to mention others, even I sometimes feel a little suspicious." Hu Yunzhi smiled embarrassedly, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Wang Zhaoming has returned to Shanghai and has moved to a new home. I heard that he was angry with Wang Kemin in Peking?" Lu Xiyan asked seriously as soon as he thugs.
"The Japanese have repented, and most of the conditions they had agreed to have been abolished. Wang Kemin is qualified and looks down on Wang Zhaoming. These two people can't pee in a pot. However, Marshal Wu was not bewitched by the Japanese this time and did not give Wang Zhaoming any face." Hu Yun's way.
