Chapter 22: Pier

Party Affairs Investigation Department, Songhu Office.

Jin Lin wandered outside for a long time before slowly returning to his superior, Ding Mochuan.

Ding Mochuan was the director of the Songhu Office of the Party Affairs Investigation Department. He was the highest-ranking official of the Party Affairs Investigation Department in the Songhu area. He was also one of the backbones of the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

Jin Lin simply reported the situation to Ding Muchuan.

'You mean to say that no one can crack this case?' Ding Muchuan frowned.

'Director Ding, that's for sure. Think about it, how many people would dare to attack the Kong family and have the ability to do so?' Jin Lin replied, 'How dare Dai seriously investigate?'

'How many people went over there?'

'Just two. The most senior one was a team leader. Even the team leader, Li Boqi, wasn't there.'

'Li Boqi didn't go?'

'No.'

'It seems...'

Ding Muchuan nodded thoughtfully.

They're all old foxes!

Li Boqi didn't show up, but he sent two lackeys.

If you say he doesn't take it seriously, I already sent someone. If you say he does, the team leader didn't even come.

It's obvious that he wants to see what happens first.

After all, in the country, there are only a few people who dare to touch the Kong family.

If you don't see what's going on and recklessly reach in, you might offend another family. There's a lot of water under the bridge here.

'Fine, you continue with those Red Party cases!'

'Yes!'

'Now that the Red Party in the Songhu area has lost contact with their central command, it's the perfect opportunity to go after them. We mustn't miss this chance. In particular, we mustn't let go of the investigation into the person codenamed [Creeper]. This person is definitely a very important member of the Red Party organisation. If we catch him, we can dig up a bunch of Red Party members.'

'Understood!'

Jin Lin bowed to show his agreement.

A thought flashed through his mind without him having to think about it.

It would naturally be best to catch Creeper. If he couldn't be caught, then Cao Mengqi would be framed.

As long as Cao Mengqi was convicted, he would be dead.

'Ding-dong!'

'Ding-dong!'

Suddenly the phone rang.

Ding Mochuan picked up the phone. He answered. His face was unsettled.

He slowly put down the phone and looked at Jin Lin.

Jin Lin: ?

"Director...'

'The case has been solved. The robbers were killed. The drugs were recovered. The culprits have been exposed.'

'What?'

Jin Lin was stunned.

...

Wusongkou. Tianzi Wharf.

Everyone from Team 8 was here, except for the injured Cao Mengqi.

Oh, no. Not all the police academy students were here.

Wusongkou Wharf had been sealed off by the military police. No one was allowed in or out.

A cruise ship from across the ocean was also required to anchor at the pier.

'An American ship...'

'The Americans helped with the printing and transportation of the currency...'

'The Americans need to hand the currency over to the Ministry of Finance in person, sign for it, and it will be considered complete...'

'But now, before the currency was even received, it was discovered that a box was missing. So, the Americans are also in a hurry. They have already requested the concessionary authorities to seal off the concession. No one is allowed in or out.'

'So, this incident has had a huge impact. Although it's only a tin box that's been lost...'

'Once the concession authorities become involved, the matter will be leaked. This will not be conducive to the stable replacement of legal tender...'

Li Boqi gave a brief introduction to the situation.

Zhang Yong nodded. He understood. But there didn't seem to be much he could do.

Apart from identifying the hidden Japanese. His other abilities could all be improved. But he had already checked just now. There were no Japanese on this cruise ship.

It was neither normal nor abnormal.

What is normal is that there are no hidden Japanese.

What is abnormal is that there is not a single Japanese person. It seems like a very coincidental situation.

Could it be that there is not a single Japanese person on this ocean liner that departed from San Francisco, USA, bound for the glamorous Shanghai?

'There are no Japanese people on the ship...'

'Are you sure?'

'Yes.'

'Then it wasn't the Japanese...'

'Maybe...'

Zhang Yong replied casually.

ADVERTISEMENT

Suddenly, he noticed several red dots appear nearby. He subconsciously turned his head. He saw several Japanese people appear.

They weren't hiding their identities. They were Japanese. And they seemed to be very important.

'Fumio Kishida,' Li Boqi also noticed, "he is the military attaché of the Japanese consulate. He has the rank of major. All kinds of circumstances indicate that this guy has sent a large number of Japanese spies to lurk in the Songhu area. The Japanese spies we caught may have been planted by him.'

'What is he doing here?" Zhang Yong didn't understand.

'The Japanese are used to being arrogant and overbearing in Songhu. They came to show off to us.'

'Could it be that they stole the legal tender?'

'If Fumio Kishida hadn't shown up, I wouldn't be sure. But Fumio Kishida did show up, so I can be 100% sure that they did it.'

'So, they still dare to come before us and strut around?'

'Because they think we won't be able to see through them. Even if we do, there's nothing we can do about them.'

'These sons of bitches,'

Zhang Yong cursed angrily.

The Japanese invaders in Songhu were indeed very arrogant.

Whether they were in the open or in the shadows, they didn't take the Chinese people seriously.

Since the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders had become more and more aggressive.

During the First Two-Eight War, although the 19th Route Army fought well, due to the weakness of some people, they did not preserve the fruits of victory. Instead, the Japanese became more and more aggressive.

Not only did they station marines in Hongkou, they also demarcated the Japanese concession. This resulted in a de facto occupied zone.

Many Japanese clamoured to turn the Songhu area into a second Manchuria. As a result, more and more Japanese came to Songhu.

Many Japanese riffraff, rascals, disgraced samurai, ronin, geisha and the like emerged one after the other, turning the huge Songhu area into a mess.

On the surface, the National Government dared not offend them for fear of causing unnecessary diplomatic disputes.

The military and police generally did not dare to inspect or intercept the Japanese, who were running around and acting arrogantly.

For example, at the moment,

The port and docks are clearly under lockdown.

However, Kishida Fumio can just stroll in. And he's carrying a weapon.

Behind him are four other Japanese. They're dressed as ronin. All in black robes. The swords they're carrying are clearly visible.

They're arrogant as hell.

'Baka!'

'Get out of the way!'

'Get out of the way!'

Kishida Fumio comes forward menacingly.

The soldiers and police around him pretend not to see.

Li Boqi stepped forward.

'Get lost...'

'Ah...'

The sound suddenly stopped.

Then it turned into a scream.

But it was Li Boqi who punched the other person in the stomach.

Kishida Fumio screamed in pain. His body reflexively hunched over. Then he was hit again by a knee from Li Boqi, and his stomach took another blow.

Zhang Yong: !!!

Wow! Awesome! Li Boqi really dared to!

Without a word, he struck. He knocked this Kishida Fumio to the ground.

'Baka!'

'Die, die!'

The other Japanese ronin drew their swords. They charged menacingly.

Zhang Yong waved his hand without thinking.

'Get the weapons!'

He grabbed a pole and charged.

There were all kinds of cold weapons on the dock. Poles, sticks, machetes...

'Boom!'

Zhang Yong rushed up and hit him with a pole on the head.

The Japanese ronin in front of him was very fierce, raising his katana and menacingly trying to slash down.

Suddenly there was a scream. His body was swept aside heavily.

But Zhang Yong had hit him with a pole across the waist.

Damn it. So what if you're holding a sword?

I've broken your waist!

'Ah!'

'Ah!'

Screams of pain sounded one after the other.

But the other Japanese were also getting beaten up. They were beaten to the point where they could no longer take care of themselves.

The team leader even got involved personally. How could anyone else be lenient?

As long as they didn't beat them to death, no one had anything to fear.

Even if they did die, they deserved it!
