Chapter 801, the truth
? Fei Xinqing must have something to do when he came to Shanghai.
The problem is that Zhang Yong cannot ask so directly. Otherwise, the other party may instinctively resist answering.
Even if you have a concussion, there is a sense of resistance deep in your mind.
A roundabout strategy must be adopted. Sidetracking.
?This guy seems to be really not sane. Requires constant thread pulling.
“You disembarked at Wusongkou Pier?”
“Jinling…”
“Jinling?”
Zhang Yong was secretly surprised.
?This guy actually landed in Jinling?
No, it may not be landing. Probably came by train. Tianjin Wei has a direct train to Jinling.
?The famous Jin-Pu Railway artery runs from Tianjin to Jinling.
“Train? Ship?”
"train…"
“Are there many people on the train? Where have the people around you gone?”
"people…"
?Fei Xinqing hesitated for a long time.
Obviously, he couldn''t remember this question.
Zhang Yong had no choice but to give up. Change the question.
"where are you going?"
"go…"
?Fei Xinqing fell into painful thinking again.
Obviously, he couldn''t answer this question.
When he thought about the pain, he reached out to touch the back of his head.
Zhang Yong:…
Repented. Should have known. Be gentle.
However, he has never been soft on male targets. What if I didn''t get knocked unconscious?
Once the target fights back, he may be the one who dies.
Safety first…
“Eat...” Zhang Yong motioned to the other party to eat something.
A variety of food has been placed in front of Fei Xinqing.
There are the most classic foods of polar bears: borscht, red sausage, pancakes, waffles…
It''s very possible that Fei Xinqing didn''t want it himself. It was the waiter who saw that he didn''t respond, so he served it directly.
, the finished bird. Fei Xinqing might have really been disabled by himself.
Everything you say to him now is in vain.
“Eat, eat, eat…” Fei Xinqing murmured to himself.
Zhang Yong immersed himself in hard work.
Get ready to run away after eating.
Since Fei Xinqing is stupid, it is useless for the time being.
"Yosuke Yamaguchi..." Suddenly, a word came out of Fei Xinqing''s mouth. Zhang Yong immediately raised his head.
?What is this guy talking about?
Yosuke Yamaguchi?
Did you hear it wrong?
It seems not.
?Fei Xinqing did mention the name of Yosuke Yamaguchi. It seems that this guy is related to Yamaguchi Yosuke.
It just so happened that Yosuke Yamaguchi worked at the Bank of Communications. He and Fei Xinqing were traveling together.
“He’s not here…” Zhang Yong responded casually.
“Look for him…” Fei Xinqing tried his best to express.
Zhang Yong shook his head.
Too lazy to elaborate with the other party. It’s hard to explain.
Where Yamaguchi Yosuke is now, Zhang Yong himself doesn’t know. Where to find it?
?Besides, what was he doing to find Yosuke Yamaguchi?
?Want to get shot?
Now, Yosuke Yamaguchi has a sniper rifle in his hand. With the help of the scope, it can kill people at 500 meters.
?Thinking of this, Zhang Yong couldn''t help but observe the map. I was afraid that Japanese invaders would ambush me.
Fortunately not. There was no possibility of being sniped at his location. All shooting angles are blocked by buildings.
“Key…” Fei Xinqing groped around on his body.
Then he took out a key.
Dark yellow. Seems like brass?
It’s been a few years. The brass isn''t as shiny anymore either.
Zhang Yong brought it over. Watch carefully. Didn''t see anything.
Perhaps the key to the safe? It''s definitely not an ordinary door. The question is, where is the safe?
“HSBC?” Zhang Yong asked tentatively.
“Citi...” This time, Fei Xinqing answered very quickly.
Zhang Yong subconsciously wanted to draw a gun.
I thought it was this guy who had regained consciousness. The true colors are revealed.
Fortunately, I restrained myself quickly. It was found that Fei Xinqing was not abnormal. The judgment may be that the memory is very deep, so the response is faster.
??Okay, Citibank safe deposit box keys. That''s the beginning.
Changing to another bank, there is no way to operate in secret. However, Gu Xiaoru is inside Citibank!
Okay, give Gu Xiaoru a call first. See if she is there.
If you are there, take Fei Xinqing there directly. Then extract the safe.
If it were really a safe, what would be inside?
?Looking forward to it...
Stand up and make a phone call.
Call Citibank. As it happens, Citibank is not far away.
“Hello, I’m looking for Gu Xiaoru.”
"Hold on."
“Shaolong, what do you want from me?”
“Are you at work?”
“Come on!”
“Oh, I’ll come find you in a moment.”
“I’m asking for leave…”
“I mean I have official business to see you.”
“I thought…”
?Gu Xiaoru giggled.
Zhang Yong:…
?It felt like her smile contained some kind of teasing flavor. She also turned bad. But he likes it!
“Business!”
“I also said I would like to thank you very much!”
“What do you want to thank me for?”
“I’ve been promoted!”
"Congratulations."
“It’s all your fault.”
"I?"
“I secured an investment of 150,000 US dollars and was promoted. Now I am at the foreman level.”
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
It turns out that in this era, banks are already tasked with collecting deposits!
Promotion and salary increase are all linked to attracting deposits.
Sure enough, American imperialism is really a hundred years ahead of us...
It’s okay, in the future, I will find a way to continuously attract deposits for Gu Xiaoru, and continue to get promoted and get salary increases.
“How many dollars does it cost to move up the ranks?”
“Fifty thousand.”
“The price is clearly marked?”
“Absolutely. Half a million can definitely get you a promotion.”
“Okay. I’ll try my best.”
Zhang Yong immediately cheered up. Quite confident.
?It seems that half a million dollars is not a lot. As long as you work hard, you can still get it.
Hei Dao Longzhang has three hundred thousand dollars. Find a way to get it, and you''ll have the bulk of it. The rest is earned bit by bit. The source still depends on selling information.
Judging from the current situation, the Thunderstorm plan he launched has indeed attracted some international spies to take the bait. But the portion is not enough. Gotta work harder.
? ? Quietly inspect the twenty drawings in the space.
Perhaps, if necessary, you can release five cards?
Continue to ferment?
Hang up the phone.
return. Seeing that Fei Xinqing was still thinking hard.
He looked very unhappy. Obviously, the harder you think, the more painful you feel. The whole person is very haggard.
“Boss Fei, let’s go to the bank.” Zhang Yong helped him up.
“Bank…” Fei Xinqing was confused.
“We have a mission to go to the bank.” Zhang Yong helped him make up his mind.
Since this guy can''t remember much. Then just order him to do things directly. See how he reacts.
As a result, Fei Xinqing''s reaction was more obedient than Zhang Yong imagined.
“Okay…” Fei Xinqing replied.
No resistance.
No doubt.
As if he were a tool man without his own consciousness. Do whatever others call you.
For a time, Zhang Yong thought of countless possibilities. This guy is the boss of Sihai Bank! I definitely know a lot of people and things. If you could dig it out bit by bit...
Pull out all the money in Bank No. 4...
right!
?Those are all ill-gotten gains.
It is impossible for serious people to keep their wealth in underground banks.
Only money that is shady or has special functions will be traded in underground banks. Confiscation is definitely correct.
It’s exciting!
Are there any such underground banks in Shanghai?
Absolutely!
Definitely more developed than Tianjin Wei!
The reason why I didn’t meet him before was because I didn’t find a suitable guide.
Now, there is a guide. It’s Fei Xinqing. He must know something about his colleagues here in Shanghai. As long as he reveals some information, he can follow the clues and destroy them all.
"This way."
"good…"
“Get in the car!”
"good…"
Zhang Yong drove him all the way.
As expected, Fei Xinqing showed no resistance.
On the contrary, he seemed to be freed from painful thoughts.
You don’t have to think for yourself anymore.
Just follow Zhang Yong’s instructions.
Feeling so relaxed.
?Take a car and arrive at the door of Citibank.
Stop slowly.
"get off."
"good…"
“Follow me.”
"good…"
?Fei Xinqing followed Zhang Yong mechanically.
Two people entered the lobby of Citibank. Zhang Yong saw Gu Xiaoru at a glance.
Eh?
?She seems not to be at the counter anymore?
?She is now wearing a small suit and wandering in the lobby!
Others seemed to be much more enthusiastic towards her. Everyone passing by said hello to her. Just like a little peacock.
?Hmm, is this the legendary promotion and salary increase?
?Only $150,000?
Oh, in 1936, $150,000 was a lot!
An airplane only costs about US$10,000. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars can buy fifteen airplanes.
From this perspective, US$150,000 at this moment may be equivalent to more than US$15 million in future generations. It is indeed a large amount.
“Are you here? What business do you want to do?”
“Look at this key.”
"Here''s the key to our safe." "Yes. I''m going to lift the safe out."
“Where’s the number?”
“What number?”
“The number of the safe. Or the name of the person. Otherwise, the key cannot match it.”
“Person’s name. Yosuke Yamaguchi.”
“Okay. I’ll check it out.”
Gu Xiaoru turned around and left.
Zhang Yong secretly prayed to God for blessing.
You must be able to find it!
If it’s not Yosuke Yamaguchi, that would be troublesome.
result…
Gu Xiaoru came back soon.
Shaking his head. It means that there is no such person as Yamaguchi Yosuke.
Zhang Yong frowned.
If it’s not Yosuke Yamaguchi, whose name could it be?
Mori Rabbit Pill?
Fei Xinqing?
still…
Told all his guesses.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely not agree to such chaos.
But with Gu Xiaoru’s help, it will be no problem. Sure enough, there are people in the court who are easy to get things done. It is convenient to have Gu Xiaoru help.
“I found one from Fei Xinqing.” Sure enough, Gu Xiaoru came back soon.
“That’s him.” Zhang Yong nodded.
The result is very good.
It turned out to be Fei Xinqing. He happened to be there himself.
At the same time, I feel doubtful in my heart. What is the relationship between Yosuke Yamaguchi and Fei Xinqing? Could it be that Fei Xinqing is also a member of the Tuyao Society?
“Extract it now?”
"right."
“Is Fei Xinqing himself here?”
“He is.”
“Okay. Come with me!”
"good!"
Zhang Yong took Fei Xinqing into the VIP room at the back.
Here, someone checks fingerprints.
It is not the fingerprint verification of later generations. Someone was checking with a magnifying glass.
At this level, you must come in person.
Must press fingerprints on site. Then take it in and check.
The fingerprints must match before the safe can be accessed.
The safe that Zhang Yong extracted last time did not leave any fingerprints. So no need to check.
But Fei Xinqing’s safe left fingerprints.
Fortunately, Fei Xinqing himself was brought here.
Although he was a bit confused, the fingerprints were definitely correct.
Press fingerprints.
Someone went in with fingerprints to check.
Zhang Yong observed his surroundings silently. See hidden armed guards.
Using force here is obviously not possible.
A few minutes later, the fingerprint verification was completed.
pass.
You can continue to go inside.
But you can only enter in person.
Zhang Yong must stay outside.
Fortunately, with Gu Xiaoru’s help, there was no surprise.
?Ten minutes later, Gu Xiaoru came out carrying the safe. Later he followed Fei Xinqing, who was still confused.
Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief. No problem.
Immediately disappointed.
The map shows no gold markers. Explain that there are no gold bars inside.
well…
"for you."
"Thanks!"
Zhang Yong carried the safe into the enclosed space and closed the curtains.
Can’t wait to open the safe. I hope there are banknotes in it.
?However, once again I was disappointed.
There are no banknotes in it. No cash either.
Not even an ocean. Just lumps of black metal.
Eh?
What''s this?
Suddenly I remembered, this is a tungsten block!
? Could it be that the gold is hidden in the tungsten block? It seems like last time? Can''t recognize the map?
Unfortunately, there are no tools around. The tungsten block cannot be broken open.
Tungsten block is actually very hard. Later tungsten alloy warheads are a common type of armor-piercing projectiles.
Take out all the tungsten blocks for the time being. Place it well.
I found a small notebook underneath.
Pick it up. Open. There are some names in it. Chinese. Chinese.
Some names have been crossed.
Eh?
This is…
Suddenly woke up.
?These are the officers who were killed at the Songhu Garrison Command!
That’s right, it’s them.
There are several names that Zhang Yong remembers.
Matt.
Someone actually recorded it?
The small notebook has about thirty pages. There are almost thirty names per page.
More than 900 in total?
faint!
More than 900!
??Are they all targets of assassination by the Japanese invaders?
So, the murder was planned? Is it organized? Is someone secretly directing it?
However, the problem still exists. Can''t figure it out.
??What can be the use of assassinating an ordinary officer this time?
Unless you are practicing…
etc!
Suddenly I remembered something.
Practice?
Are they spy killers in training?
They chose these goals because they wanted to prove their strength?
Perhaps it’s an assessment or something?
Frowning.
Feeling that I may have thought wrong.
However, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. Maybe this is the truth?
Even, think a little more divergently. The spy might be training a killer. In other words, Yosuke Yamaguchi is training killers. Or maybe he himself is accumulating assassination experience.
To name a few.
Any situation is possible.
So, the people on these lists became victims.
??If it was Yosuke Yamaguchi who committed the murder, it could also put pressure on the Japanese secret service. Make them a target.
You must know that Yamaguchi Yosuke is from Yongren''s side. He wanted to cause trouble for Hirohito.
?Thinking about it this way, Yamaguchi Yosuke’s motivations are normal.
Matt. Regret it. He actually let this guy run away. Unexpectedly, he committed many crimes.
no. We must find a way to catch this guy back.
Put the list away. Suddenly another thing occurred to me. Why is the list here?
?Has Fei Xinqing been to Shanghai before?
Wrong…
?Come out and ask Gu Xiaoru, "When was the last time someone took out the safe?"
Gu Xiaoru replied: "There are three people who can withdraw from this safe. One is named Chen Yang, one is named Li Bin. The other is named Fei Xinqing. All three of them have fingerprints."
Zhang Yong:? ? ?
Three people?
?One of them may be Yamaguchi Yosuke’s pseudonym?
But, why is there another one? Who is the third person?
“The last extraction was three days ago.” Gu Xiaoru continued to answer, “Li Bin came to extract it.”
“Three days ago…” Zhang Yong counted the time silently.
?Then it can’t be Yosuke Yamaguchi.
Because he had been exposed by that time.
He should not dare to come to Citibank in person. To avoid being discovered.
So, this Li Bin is not Yosuke Yamaguchi. It should be the third insider. So, who could he be?
Can’t figure it out…
never mind. Too lazy to think about it.
??Anyway, it was a mistake. Maybe it will be decrypted again sometime.
?No, so many officers have been killed before, it feels like it’s an unsolved case. But over time, the outlines gradually emerged.
Spy killers in training. Or Yamaguchi Yosuke is training.
Not only training in killing, but also in torture techniques. Therefore, there were signs of torture on the deceased.
It should be like this…
The truth is actually not that complicated.
What is even more frightening is that this Yamaguchi Yosuke has big plans.
Very crazy.
Very cold.
It is conceivable that if Yongren came to power, he might be more radical than Hirohito. Even crazier.
People like Yamashita Fengwen have always been young men in the Japanese army.
Other Japanese officers had a very strong desire to invade. However, they may only have eyes on China.
However, Yamashita Fengfumi and others may have already attempted to occupy Asia.
They are more greedy than the older generation of aggressive maniacs.
?They couldn''t wait to launch the February 26th Mutiny, just to launch an unbridled invasion.
In fact, after the mutiny, their goal was indeed achieved.
July next year will be the Marco Polo Bridge Incident...
Leave Citibank.
Zhang Yong called the Songhu Garrison Headquarters. Find Zhou Yang.
“Shaolong, what’s going on?”
"I found a list. It was kept by the Japanese invaders. It has the names of the officers who were assassinated."
"Where are you?"
“Citibank.”
"Wait for me at the exit of the concession. I will go there immediately."
"good."
Zhang Yong nodded in agreement.
?Then it felt a little strange. Can''t he come in?
Before, Zhou Yang could bring people into the concession. It seems that there is no need to wait at the entrance of the concession.
Get in the car.
Come to the exit of the concession.
Sure enough, Zhou Yang arrived soon. With a company.
Li Yuanqing is also here. Stop Zhou Yang politely.
There are French soldiers stationed behind the concession entrance. There were almost fifty people.
?There are even fortifications made of sandbags.
Zhang Yong handed over the small book and asked at the same time: "Can you still enter the concession?"
"It''s no longer possible." Zhou Yang said angrily, "The Japanese are secretly causing trouble. They don''t know how to trick the public board of directors into coming forward, and jointly with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau to ban us from entering the concession."
“That’s it.” Zhang Yong immediately thought of Yingzuo Zhenzhao.
?This guy is indeed a silent dog. Hiding behind and biting people.
At present, the Songhu Garrison Command is restricted from entering and exiting the concession. The next step is probably to restrict military unification or something like that.
In other words, it will not be so easy for Chinese people to enter the concession in the future.
“Not good.” Zhou Yang suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
Zhang Yong:? ? ?
Something happened again?
Halo, please don’t!
I really don’t want anything to happen to me now!
