Chapter 53 Between the Cracks

Zhu Nanjiang was thinking about showing Tian Dongbao a little color, but before he could think of a perfect solution, Zhongzuo Suzuki, who had been to the He mansion half a month ago but had the door closed, came to the door again.

"A few days ago, I heard from my subordinates that I saw you in Zhabei District. I think you have recovered, so I came here to visit you."

Zhu Nanjiang expected that the other party had placed an eyeliner around him, and it was rare for news of the concession to reach the other party's ears.But now that he can no longer continue to pretend to be sick and sleep, no one will even know when he sleeps like this.

"Recently, I feel a little more comfortable. It's really time for you to come."

"I naturally look forward to wishing Mr. a speedy recovery in order to conspire with great things."

This Suzuki Lieutenant probably has learned Chinese specially, and his words are polite and easy to understand, but the disadvantage is that it makes it difficult for people to pretend to be stupid.

Zhu Nanjiang didn't intend to pretend to be stupid, and after a few simple greetings, he pointedly said, "I went to Zhabei because the house was confiscated. You Japanese are very domineering?"

"Oh? What house?" Suzuki frowned, and the doubt on his face didn't seem to be feigned. "Who did it? I don't know anything about it."

"Ha, you don't know, and I don't even know..." Zhu Nanjiang took out a cigarette from the chimney and smiled bitterly, "You keep saying that you respect me, but you don't respect me at all for what you do .Today the house is ransacked, but tomorrow is it time to smash the car and throw the bomb?"

"Mr. Zhu, please don't say that! There must be some misunderstanding."

"It's best if it's a misunderstanding. I'm the most afraid of enmity. Ordinary petty enmity is fine. I can't afford to offend the imperial army."

"I wish you rest assured, sir! I will investigate right away and help you get the house back."

"Then thank you sir."

Zhongzuo Suzuki saw Zhu Nanjiang's friendly attitude today and was easy to talk, so he hit the iron while it was hot: "Well, how do you think about what you said last time?"

"Oh, in fact, there was a Mr. Matsui who came to see me a while ago... Your departments are quite separated from each other. I really don't know what I can do."

"Matsui Jun? I know him. Vice Consul Iwaizumi told him to come to you, right?"

"I don't know."

"Mr. Zhu, with all due respect, it is really overkill for a talent like you to go to the Ministry of Culture." Zhongzuo Suzuki seemed a little anxious, "With your ability and qualifications, you are completely qualified for the post of police chief. I think you should also I am more willing to do this job. The Ministry of Culture is actually not very different from the Ministry of Education. Even if you enter the police station, you can also serve as a consultant in the future."

"I have to think about it again. Recently, I have been very troubled by the house problem, so I really can't think about it that much."

"I believe the house problem will be resolved soon. As for my proposal, please consider it carefully. Consul Yoshimura will invite friends from China and Japan to have dinner at the Garden Hotel next month. It would be great if Mr. Zhu could show his respect." gone."

After seeing off Zhongzuo Suzuki, Zhu Nanjiang sat on the sofa alone in a daze.

This world is really different.He watched helplessly as his house was robbed by the miscellaneous, but the Japanese could help him get it back with just a word.Of course, the prerequisite for coming back is that he is willing to be a "friend" with the other party.

But what happened to Tian Dongbao?He can bring armed men to rob the house, but he seems to have to obey the orders of Lieutenant Suzuki.What is his status in the puppet government?If I really become the police chief, can I suppress him?

He also didn't know exactly what the relationship between the Ministry of Culture and the police station was.But one thing Suzuki said was right, he did prefer the police station to the former, because working in the police station can touch a knife and a gun.

From a weak boy to Inspector Zhu, who is feared by everyone, he survived all the way by relying on power and violence. Only the police uniform can give him a sense of security.After taking off this police uniform, he is actually no different from a gangster on the street, and now the situation is no longer surviving by brute force alone.

Zhu Nanjiang was in the middle of thinking about it and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat from his own thoughts.

Although he doesn't understand the basic principles, he also knows that this traitor cannot be casually. Once he has anything to do with the Japanese, he will be a sinner through the ages and will be infamous for thousands of years.

When he first became the police inspector, he remembered that he had obviously done nothing serious, but he was already scolded bloody for helping the Chinese arrest the Chinese.Later, he listened to Song Chenggeng's words and secretly helped several revolutionaries, and risked being discovered by the labor board to make things easier for Yu Shankun, but because no one knew about it, he was still scolded.Well now, the Japanese threw an olive branch at him.If he catches it, when the newspaper is broadcast on the loudspeaker, he is afraid that he will be sprayed into dice by spit stars!

Looking back on the past ten years, Song Chenggeng did no less bad things than him, but they all did it secretly. Yu Shankun did many good things, some of them were overt and some of them secretly.He was the only one who was doing bad things openly and doing good things secretly, and in the end, not only did he not get a good word, but he also got a bad name in exchange, which is not worth it!

Zhu Nanjiang is not afraid of being scolded, nor does he want to be a hero, but he has to pay attention to the cost and reward in everything.If being a villain can be exchanged for money and power, he will do evil without hesitation.If doing good deeds can bring his brother praise and affection, he will do good deeds without being stingy.It was also out of this psychology that he initially sheltered the workers who were wanted by the patrol house.

Later, Yu Shankun found him.He found that as long as he took a little risk to do some so-called good deeds, he could be respected. In a sense, he was "on an equal footing" with a big boss like Yu Shankun, so he was willing to serve as an informant for him for three or four years.

But things are very different now.In order to get back the house and control Tian Dongbao, he went to work for the puppet government. Is such a deal really worth it?

The crime of "traitor" is too big and too heavy for him to bear.But it is not his style to hide in the concession and be a coward, watching the enemy devour the property he has bought with his blood and sweat bit by bit.Right now it's just a house, who knows what the other party will do in the future?

As Xue Conghuai said, the concession may not be absolutely safe.

Because Zhu Nanjiang still couldn't figure out whether the deal was worthwhile, and he didn't know what the Ministry of Culture was, after much deliberation, he finally called Song Chenggeng.

At least so far, the other party is trustworthy.

He didn't mention Tian Dongbao, but only said that several Japanese came to invite him to be an official in the puppet government. After hearing this, Song Chenggeng fell into a long silence.

"Mr. Song, do you know what that intelligence agency is? From what Suzuki Zhongzuo said, he seems to look down on the people there."

"Xiaozhu, you may not know much about the situation in Japan. The city government is now controlled by the military department. Lieutenant Suzuki and other advisers are all active-duty soldiers. But the consulate is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, although it is related to the military department. Partnership but not part of a system."

"I know it's an independent agency, but what's bigger than a police department?"

"If you want to say who has more power, it must be the military department. Whoever has the military power has the final say at a critical moment." Song Chenggeng heard his implication, and said in a deep voice: "Have you decided to accept the appointment?"

Zhu Nanjiang paused for a moment, and did not answer the question directly: "I offended a few people before, and now they are doing things for the Japanese, trying to find a way to get me."

"The Frenchman only cares about self-protection now, and won't want to meddle in the Chinese people's business. Be careful not to make any noise."

"I certainly don't expect the French to back me up."

"then you……"

"I know you want to persuade me to think twice, but I really don't have any ideas. In your opinion, is there any way to make good relations with the Japanese and avoid these errands?"

"Xiao Zhu..." Song Chenggeng hesitated for a moment and said, "You know that I have not only been helping the board of directors these years."

Zhu Nanjiang was stunned for a moment, and then realized what he was talking about.Song Chenggeng used his position to let go of several political prisoners. He knew it. Besides, the other party seemed to have connections with the Military Control Bureau.

——People always have to leave a way out for themselves.

Everyone has their own way of living, and this is Song Chenggeng's way of living, so he never asks, nor does he delve into it.In the same way, the contact between him and Yu Shankun was not known to the other party, maybe knew some, but never interfered.

So now, is he persuading himself to cooperate with the Japanese to save the way out?

"Mr. Song, you also know that I'm not a very patient person. If they bully people too much, I can't be whipped and still laugh with them."

"You have worked in the police station for more than ten years. You have courage and experience, and you are close to the gang members. It is natural for the Japanese to want to win you over."

"The military department is still being polite to me now..."

"They need you to strengthen law and order, and we also need someone to provide high-level information."
