Chapter 200 Watertight
"It's Chen Yang again." At the consulate in Shanghai, Kuroda Yusuke looked at the documents urgently sent by the Special High Police with a gloomy face.
Inukai Ken quickly contacted the new government in Nanjing. Liang Hongzhi learned that Zhou Yuanyi had been killed, and that the other party thought that he had sent someone to do it. He immediately cried out that it was injustice.
Inukai Ken comforted him with a few words and asked Liang Hongzhi why Zhou Yuanyi suddenly came to Shanghai.
Liang Hongzhi was hesitant and couldn't explain it clearly. In fact, he knew in his heart that it was just to hide the money in his hand.
But if the people at the consulate in Shanghai knew about this money, it is very likely that they would not get any benefit at all.
Therefore, Liang Hongzhi could only shirk responsibility, and at the same time immediately sent people to arrest Zhou Yuanyi's family.
"Kuroda-kun, Zhou Yuanyi's death is a bit strange." Inukai Ken pondered for a moment and said, "We checked the time when he arrived in Shanghai, and from the information provided to us by He Yuehua."
"We can confirm that he went directly to Plum Blossom Tower as soon as he got off the train."
"Besides, the incident happened the day after meeting Chen Yang. Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence?"
"Coincidence, what coincidence?" Kuroda Yusuke asked, "Are you saying that Chen Yang did it?"
"What is the purpose?"
Inukai Ken stroked his chin and said, "It's hard to say. On the surface, the two of them don't seem to have any connection. I wonder if there is something else that we don't know about?"
"Go check it out. By the way, say hello to the lady first."
"I'm afraid my wife will be unhappy if she knows you are investigating Chen Yang."
Inukai Ken was stunned for a moment and asked, "Madam is back? When did it happen?"
Kuroda Yusuke said: "According to the telegram we received yesterday, she had an urgent mission. In order not to delay the mission, she took a military plane directly to Peking, and then transferred from Peking to Shanghai."
"It should arrive this afternoon."
"Then should we continue investigating?" Inukai Ken was also a little hesitant.
"As a rule, we have to ask questions." Kuroda Yusuke frowned and said, "Let's start with the outside investigation. If we can confirm that it has nothing to do with Chen Yang, that's the best. If we can't find any evidence that can fully prove the other party's purpose, we still have to ask questions."
"Okay then," Inukai Ken nodded and said, "I'll take some people to the French Concession to ask the police."
In the French Concession, Inukai Ken and his three men tracked down Zhou Yuanyi from the police station and soon determined that Zhou Yuanyi's destination was the law firm of Mr. He in the French Concession.
After finding out the route, Ken Inukai immediately led his men to He's Law Firm...
"Hello, Lawyer He." Inukai Ken and several of his men broke into the office where He Shijie was.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ken Inukai, and I am the military attaché of the Chinese Consulate in Shanghai."
"At noon today, a murder occurred on Jinxian Road in the French Concession,"
"The victim's name is Zhou Yuanyi. Do you have any impression of him?"
He Shijie frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Oh, I remember this person. He is the commissioner of the Ministry of Finance in Jinling."
"I came here today to inquire about some business cooperation matters,"
Inuyang Jian's expression changed slightly, and he asked hurriedly: "Lawyer He, I wonder if you can tell us the details."
He Shijie nodded and said, "Assistant Wu, go get the information that Mr. Zhou read this morning."
Assistant Wu responded and hurried out to look for information.
He Shijie smiled and said, "My law firm has quite a lot of business, some of which are collaborations with some big shots."
"Some things cannot be said openly, but since you asked, I can reveal a little bit."
"This Mr. Zhou wants to buy some shares of Huazhong Oil Company with his own funds."
"However, after reading all the information, he thought the company's profitability was worrying, so he didn't decide to invest in the end."
"Of course, this is the customer's personal wish, and we can't force them to buy or sell."
"Besides, to put it bluntly, whether the company makes money or not has little to do with my law firm."
"We are paid for legal matters. Whether we can make a profit or how much money we can earn is not within the scope of our business."
"You can take a look at the information, but you can't take it away. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself."
Oil company? Does this have anything to do with Chen Yang?
"Mr. Inukai, these are the documents," Assistant Wu quickly brought over a pile of information.
Inukai Ken took the information from Assistant Wu with both hands and opened the first page.
Sure enough, just as they guessed, the person in charge of this oil company was Chen Yang.
The main business is petroleum processing and refining in oil factories, and another part is oil field development.
The total investment is three million US dollars.
I read a bunch of information for a long time...
As the adopted son of former Japanese Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi, Inukai Ken also learned about finance.
Judging from the profit data in the information alone, this rate of return on investment does not meet the general profit standards.
It is even possible that it is in a loss-making state...
I don't know why Chen Yang spent millions of dollars to build such an oil field. Is he just losing money? Or does he have other purposes?
"It seems that Mr. Zhou's judgment is indeed correct. This company is indeed not profitable." After reading all the information, Inukai Tsuyoshi came to a conclusion that was similar to Zhou Yuanyi's first reaction.
"So," He Shijie spread his hands and said, "He finally decided to think about it, and then left."
Inukai Ken nodded to show his understanding.
Zhou Yuanyi is a financial specialist and he must understand this, so his decision not to invest seems understandable.
"Mr. He, thank you for your cooperation." Inuyang Jian stood up and said, "I won't bother you anymore."
"Of course I am. I am also happy to cooperate with the Empire." He Shijie smiled and said, "Assistant Wu, please send Mr. Inukai off."
Watching Inukai Ken and his group slowly disappear, He Shijie's smile faded and he hurriedly made a phone call.
Shanghai, Plum Blossom Tower.
"Don't worry, Lawyer He, just do your job. You won't be implicated." Chen Yang comforted the other party with a smile and hung up the phone.
After taking a sip of coffee, Chen Yang was in a good mood.
The Military Control Commission killed Zhou Yuanyi, took his money, and completed the task assigned by Zheng Jiemin.
Kill three birds with one stone. This business is promising.
The 800,000 US dollars Zhou Yuanyi had on him was different from the money donated by the Zhi Gong Tang in the United States last time.
The donations to the Zhigongtang were saved by tens of millions of people through tightening their belts and cutting back on food, and used by the government to purchase weapons to fight against the Japanese.
The money Zhou Yuanyi embezzled was all money that Americans used to support the Nationalist government.
Chen Yang felt no psychological pressure at all when he took the money.
About an hour later, Secretary He Yuehua came in hurriedly.
"Sir, Commander Inukai from the Consulate in Shanghai wants to see you, please."
Chen Yang raised his head and said coldly: "No."
