Lost and Spy

Chapter 1117 Catch the Murderer
Fenghui Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. seeks to go public and issue stocks, and has entrusted Xinsheng Securities with full authority to handle it!
Well-informed reporters quickly dug up the news.

Backed by European and American investors, it is preparing to issue shares.

This is undoubtedly a positive stimulus for the Shanghai stock market.

More people's eyes began to turn to this previously unknown small company:
Fenghui wool spinning!

And at this moment, a case shocked the whole of Shanghai:
On the afternoon of July 1939, 7, Philip, an Englishman, who was the head of the Industrial Bureau of the Shanghai International Settlement, was assassinated by three killers on his way to get off work.

The killer fired a total of eight shots.

Fortunately, Philip was hiding in the car at the time, and the killer missed in a hurry, and the patrol arrived in time, so Philip was not hurt.

But the assassination was extremely bad.

This is the first time a British person has been assassinated in the International Settlement since the Sino-Japanese War.

And the identity of this person is quite unusual:
General Office of the Public Concession Industry Bureau.

The Bureau of the Ministry of Industry immediately launched a comprehensive investigation.

The military command, the Japanese side, the intelligence headquarters, and No. 76 all denied that the assassination had anything to do with them.

For this reason, the police department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce issued a reward of up to 5 yuan!

……

China Air Club.

This is a small casino, and it is said that there is British capital in it.

After 7 o'clock in the evening, it is the time when the casino starts to be lively.

As the person in charge of the casino, John Zhu controls every move of the entire casino.

John Zhu is a Chinese.

His natal name is Zhu Guigen. He spent many years in Shanghai and learned a few words of foreign language. Later, by chance, he was appreciated by a foreigner and became the foundation of the other party. So he changed himself a very foreign name:

John Zhu!
He patrolled around the casino as usual, and was about to go back to the office to take a rest, when he suddenly saw three young people entering the casino.

They played Russian roulette.

Zhu Yuehan immediately paid attention.

He also received a report from the police.

According to the memories of Philip himself and the police officers afterwards, there were three killers in total, and they were not very big at any time.

three people?
young?
Zhu Yuehan called over to the spectators: "Send a smart one, pretend to be a gambler, sit next to them, listen to what they are saying, don't let them find out."

……

"Meng."

Sinclair brought a glass of wine to Meng Shaoyuan: "Is your operation really feasible?"

"My method always works." Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of his wine and looked at the time: "It's almost 8 o'clock, I think the call you were waiting for should be coming soon."

As soon as the voice fell, the phone rang.

Sinclair hurriedly picked up the phone, and listened for a while: "Okay, immediately send someone to the China Air Club, arrest them, and let no one escape!"

Turning around, he had a smile on his face: "One of the important reasons I like to be friends with you is that you can always come up with some incredible ways to help us get out of difficulties."

"Friends are always the most important thing to me."

Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "My friends are in trouble, and I am willing to extend my hands to help them. I think that after tomorrow, the pressure faced by the Ministry of Industry will naturally be eliminated."

"Cheers, dear friend, to our friendship."

"For friendship, Mr. Commissioner of Police, and for the common good!"

……

On the night of July 1939, 7, at the CAFC Club, relying on the tip-off from the casino staff, the patrol room secretly arrested three gamblers.

It was rumored that these three gamblers were the three killers who planned to assassinate Mr. Philip!
……

On July 7, the puppet Shanghai Special City Government.

Pseudo-mayor Fu Xiaoan walked into his office at 9 o'clock as usual.

Just as the purse was put away, his secretary walked in: "Mayor Fu, the Ministry of Industry Bureau called, please take your time to go to the Ministry of Industry Bureau immediately, they have something important to discuss with you."

"Oh, really?"

Fu Xiaoan took it easy: "Who is calling?"

"President Moyes of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce."

"Finally willing to call in person?" Fu Xiaoan sneered: "These people are usually domineering. I asked them to call out the police power several times, but they didn't want to. Now that Philip's assassination makes them afraid? By the way, check Who did this happen?"

"No, it's not like Intelligence Headquarters or Number 76 did it."

"Is it the military command?"

Fu Xiaoan said something to himself, and then denied his own thoughts: "No, what is the military commander doing to assassinate the people of the Ministry of Industry? It's strange."

"Then where is the Ministry of Industry?"

"Go, of course."

Fu Xiaoan did not hesitate: "Prepare a car for me and call Wu Maiting, his foreign language is good. By the way, we must strengthen the security force, those people in the military command are all a bunch of lunatics!"

……

Meng Shaoyuan took a bunch of bananas and sat in the corner of the conference room.

I used to like to eat sesame bananas, but I can't buy them in this era.

"Why are you so obsessed with eating bananas?" Wu Jingyi who was sitting on the side frowned.

"Reduce smoking." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette.

Wu Jingyi shook her head.

Moyes, the president of the Ministry of Industry, and the police commissioner all walked into the conference room.

It was as if they hadn't seen Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi at all.

……

This was the first time Meng Shaoyuan met Fu Xiaoan, the famous traitor.

This guy, wearing round glasses, doesn't look like a Chinese at all, he looks like a Japanese.

A well-known sycophant, a fool on the wall.

The person who came with him was Wu Maiting, his fake foreign secretary.

"You said, how about I give him a shot now?"

Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice.

Wu Jingyi sneered: "In that case, we will lose the support of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce."

……

"Mr. Fu, hello."

Moyes shook his hand politely.

"In comparison, I prefer the title of Mayor Fu."

No matter where Fu Xiaoan goes, he likes to put his title of "mayor" right.

"Mr. Fu, we are here today to discuss something important."

Moyes still insisted on his title: "I don't know if Mayor Fu has heard about the assassination of our chief executive, Mr. Philip?"

"Yes, I've heard that and I'm shocked, sorry and outraged."

Fu Xiaoan said three "very" words in a row: "I also hope that the murderer can be arrested as soon as possible."

"We've caught the murderer."

Sinclair said lightly.

"Oh, really?"

Fu Xiaoan was startled.

When did the police force become so efficient?
But what does this have to do with me?
Fu Xiaoan didn't care at all, but just politely perfunctory: "Then, I think I should congratulate you, Mr. Philip will be very happy to know."

"Yes, he will be delighted."

Sinclair asked unhurriedly:

"Mr. Fu, what role did you play in this horrific assassination?"
