Chapter 446 Who is the leader? (2 chapters in 1)
Just as Lin Ze said before, with Xu Qiao's small body, he couldn't put up any resistance at all. He was pinned down and tied up tightly by the military police in no time.
Xu Qiao was afraid that these bastards would hit him hard. With his old arms and legs, how could he withstand it?
So he did not struggle, but just shouted, "Lin Shengmin! Lin Ze! How dare you! "
Lin Ze said coldly: "Yeah, think about it, how dare I do that?"
After saying this, Xu Qiao stopped talking immediately.
He was taken to the interrogation room obediently.
Only when he sat on the interrogation chair did Xu Qiao recover a little and said bitterly: "Shengmin, I admit defeat. Give me a cigarette."
Lin Ze handed him a cigarette and lit it for him himself.
Xu Qiao took a deep puff and said, "I lost. I don't understand why the Japanese listen to you so much? You are useful, but am I not?"
"Director Xu, I'm here to arrest you, not to answer your questions. If you want to cooperate, then cooperate well. I'm still waiting to raid your house."
Xu Qiao took another puff of cigarette, remained silent for a long while, and laughed at himself, "What's the point of me cooperating or not? Among all of us, who is clean? It's just a question of whether we want to do it, not a question of whether we can do it. Since you arrested me, you must have made other preparations, right? I'm in trouble, but, Lin Shengmin, my family has some property, but most of it is in the foreign company. Even if you can take it away, it will take some effort. You promise me not to touch my family. I will give you all the money. Bring me the bills and I will sign and seal it."
..............
It took Lin Ze three full days to finish Xu Qiao's case. A large number of deposit certificates were converted into bearer bills and deposited in several banks and ocean companies in several parts. The amount of money was as high as more than 700,000 oceans. After deducting the various procedures and fees in the middle, there was more than 600,000 left.
After dividing the profits among Naoto Matsuzaki and Ransuke Kitahara, Lin Ze still had more than 400,000 yuan left.
Coupled with the fact that you get a lot of rewards, you can say that you have become rich overnight.
It’s still about making money by confiscating houses!
Military Police Headquarters, Kitahara Ransuke's office.
Kitahara was in a good mood today. After Xu Qiao was arrested, Gao Shengping began to take charge of the work. It can be said that the Beijing Police Department was completely incorporated into Kitahara Ranjie's sphere of influence, laying a solid foundation for his promotion in the future.
In addition to this, he also made a windfall. He had previously spent a lot of money on gifts for Terauchi Juichi. This time, not only did he get his money back, but his small treasury also expanded.
Of course, there have been new breakthroughs in the case of Tomoko Shimouchi. With the help of various means, Daiki Aijima finally admitted that he had leaked some information intentionally or unintentionally during his relationship with Tomoko Shimouchi. Because this guy did violate the regulations and took some important documents out of the front headquarters, the higher-ups accepted this statement and have begun to look for a new chief of staff for the Second Army. Obviously, Chief of Staff Yamashita has given up on Daiki Aijima.
"Mr. Lin, you've been working hard lately. Come sit down and have a cup of tea."
Lin Ze took the teacup and leaned forward. "Kitahara-kun, does this close the case?"
Kitahara Ransuke lit a cigarette. "That's the theory, but there's still some work to be done. The higher-ups are being cautious this time. Since it's been confirmed that Aijima Daiki has problems, they're going to arrange a new chief of staff. The general means that the secret service department will conduct a strict review of the candidates to prevent things like Aijima Daiki from happening again."
As he said this, he also sat down on the sofa.
"To be honest, Lin-san, I still have a lot of questions in my mind. I always feel that this Shimoeko has other purposes. We don't need to be shy when we talk among ourselves. Judging from what Aijima Daiki confessed, is it worth it for Shimoeko to risk her life? This question has troubled us for many days. Have we fallen into a trap?"
Not to mention Kitahara Ransuke, even Lin Ze is a little confused now.
Now that the matter is about to end, what exactly does Tomoko Shimouchi want to do?
What is her purpose in doing this?
The two of them pondered for a long time but could not come up with anything. Finally, Kitahara Ransuke put out his cigarette and said, "Forget it. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Anyway, this is the business of the front army headquarters. If Major General Matsuzaki hadn't insisted on letting us take charge this time, I wouldn't want to get involved in this mess. By the way, I heard that there are three candidates. If Major General Matsuzaki still wants us to review them, then you, me, and Captain Aburatsu will each be responsible for one person."
Lin Ze's heart moved.
Yes, this matter started with Shimouchi Tomoko being exposed and arrested, and ended with Xu Qiao and Aijima Daiki being arrested. In this process, there was no profit at all. It was impossible to obtain any useful intelligence, and it was impossible to prove the reliability of anyone.
But what if Tomoko Shimouchi, or the headquarters’ purpose, is not this case itself at all?
Tomoko Shimouchi herself is a discarded pawn. Is the headquarters using this discarded pawn to plan for what's next?
So........
Is one of those three candidates from the headquarters?
When Lin Ze thought of this, he found it a little bit unbelievable.
No, if the headquarters had this ability, would the Beiping Station have had such a miserable time in the past two years?
"Kitahara-kun, let's go interrogate the people at the front headquarters. This..."
Kitahara Ranjie was in high spirits and waved his hand, "Don't worry, it's not the same as before! Our case this time has made the General Staff very afraid, they dare not say anything. As for the Secret Service Department, Major General Matsuzaki is very dissatisfied with the ability of the Secret Service Department. Relatively speaking, he still relies more on us. Lin San, good days are coming, and the power of our Military Police Headquarters will become greater and greater!"
........................
After leaving the gendarmerie headquarters, Lin Ze asked Niu Saner to take him to the restaurant.
I made an appointment with Lao Gao today to have a small gathering at a restaurant.
When the car arrived, we found that Gao Shengping, Saito, Jiao Zhenguo and others were all at the door.
Then Lao Gao did something amazing. He jogged forward before the car stopped. He opened the door and stepped aside to make room for the car. His fat face was filled with a smile. "Shengmin, you're here?"
Lin Ze got out of the car, without any panic or exaggerated movements or expressions, and smiled faintly, "Director, how can this be possible?"
Gao Shengping also returned to his normal smile, bent down slightly, and said nothing more.
Lin Ze tightened his coat and walked quickly inside.
"Saito-kun, old Jiao."
Saito stood up straight and leaned forward slightly, "Lin-san, you're here!"
Jiao Zhenguo also lowered his head and said, "Director Lin, please come in."
Lin Ze strode into the restaurant through the dedicated passage.
Following behind him were Saito, the director of the Public Security Department of the Peking Gendarmerie Headquarters, Gao Shengping, the deputy director of the Beijing Police Department, and Jiao Zhenguo, the captain of the detective team.
Even though Saito spends his days eating, drinking, gambling, and smoking, he has managed to get to this point with a clear mind.
Don't say that Mr. Lin was able to make it big thanks to Kitahara Ransuke. There are at least eighty people in the military police headquarters who come into contact with Kitahara Ransuke every day. How come you didn't make it big?
And now everyone can see clearly that Lin Sang is not the kind of person who only knows how to flatter others. He has real ability. Didn’t you see Kitahara Ransuke’s attitude towards Lin Sang?
The word "dependence" is just a cover-up. Kitahara Ransuke is almost suffering from Lin Ze dependence!
Anyone who knows a bit knows that Kitahara Ransuke was internally appointed to succeed the gendarmerie commander. How much credit does Hayashi have for this?
And when Xu Qiao was taken down, Lao Gao was on the verge of successfully taking the position, and this kind of credit became concrete.
What kind of power is needed to be able to influence personnel arrangements at this level?
I can only say that this guy is so terrifying!
People are not fools. When Lin Ze's ability is slightly higher than theirs, they may feel jealous. But when Lin Ze's performance is already amazing, they only have one thought in their minds.
It’s too late, get in the car!
Hold on to Lin Sang's thighs tightly, and let's all get promoted and make money together!
In the restaurant's small private room, the food and drinks have been prepared.
Gao Shengping asked Lin Ze to sit in the main seat, but Lin Ze refused firmly, "Brother, do you still care about this between you and me?"
Gao Shengping was seated in the main seat, Lin Ze sat on his right, Saito sat on the other side, and the little guy Jiao Zhenguo sat at the bottom, without any resentment.
Lin Ze saved Jiao Zhenguo's life, so why should he be so arrogant?
At this point, it doesn’t matter where the main seat is. Wherever Lin Ze sits, that is the main seat!
Gao Shengping personally filled the glass and handed it to Lin Ze first, then raised his own glass and said, "Shengmin, Saito-kun, Zhenguo, let's not talk about anything else. I'll make it clear that from now on, Shengmin's affairs are my own affairs. As long as he says a word, no matter whether it's money or people, I won't say a word! I'll drink it!"
Lao Gao was truly moved. He had not expected that this step would be taken in this way.
Looking back over the past few decades, how many years have I been someone else's grandson?
I have been giving away money and women, and have come this far step by step. I didn’t expect that this last step would be so smooth!
This is all thanks to Brother Shengmin!
Saito was not to be outdone and picked up the wine glass. "Gao-san, don't drink by yourself. I'll accompany you. Lin-san, we have been together for two years and have become like brothers. Although my Public Security Department is not very strong, it can still do a lot of things. If you have something to say, just tell me. It's all in the wine. I'll drink it!"
This grandson has really integrated into the society and has a lot of little words to say.
Jiao Zhenguo also raised his glass, "Me too!"
We had a great time drinking and chatting until about ten o'clock in the evening, when everyone went their separate ways.
Before leaving, Gao Shengping drunkenly held Lin Ze's hand and said many heartfelt words.
He is not stupid, he is just in charge of the work now. Although this is a done deal, over the years, how many so-called done deals has he seen that were not accomplished in the end?
......................
Lao Gao did drink a lot today. When he got home, he was staggering. It was rare for his sister-in-law to come out to pick him up.
He supported Lao Gao back to the main room, asked him to sit on the armchair, and handed him a cup of tea.
This change in attitude is not because of how well Lao Gao has performed recently, but because Lao Gao is about to be promoted.
Being the wife of the deputy director, how could it be more glorious than being the wife of the director?
There are also different levels and a chain of contempt in the circle of wives. In the past, when several wives got together to play mahjong, Director Xu’s wife always won more and lost less. Is it because she is good at playing mahjong?
When my sister-in-law thought of the wave after wave of nice words that Director Xu's wife said when she was present, she couldn't help but feel excited. She clenched her handkerchief tightly in both hands, and even trembled slightly.
From now on, those nice words, the money that was deliberately spent, and the jewellery that was sent to you, are all mine!
Thinking of this, he poked the drunk Gao Shengping with his hand and said, "Old Gao, drink more tea. Can I wash your feet?"
Lao Gao was fascinated by her eyes but not her heart. Hearing this, he looked up at his charming wife. At this point in his life, women were no longer a hindrance to him. No matter how beautiful a woman was, she might be worth his consideration, but she would not become a source of worry for him. Similarly, whether his wife was good or bad to him, enthusiastic or indifferent, it would not affect his mood too much.
Lao Gao understands one thing: if you really meet someone whose heart is tied to you and who is willing to give up everything to be good to you, you would rather die than let that person down.
As for the others, no matter they are a couple who are married for profit like his wife, or a socialite who plays for fun, as long as you have rice in your hands, the chickens will follow you.
The sister-in-law brought the water for washing feet. Lao Gao lifted her legs and asked her to take off her leather shoes and remove her socks.
"Lao Gao, is this matter settled?"
Lao Gao opened the small drawer on the table beside him, took out a cigar, cut it leisurely, and lit it with a long match. After he exhaled a puff of smoke, he said with a big tongue: "What do you mean by done? You women, stay out of the field. Do you think this is your brother's job as a patrol captain? This is the director of the hall! This is the governor of the Nine Gates! If it were in the previous dynasty, this would be a military officer of the first rank. If you have the opportunity to get involved in this life, you will be very lucky!"
My sister-in-law lowered her head and curled her lips, thinking to herself, "Old Gao, why are you so arrogant? Isn't this Lin Shengmin's credit?"
Thinking of her younger brother Shengmin, the sister-in-law became greedy again. She said that she was restless because of what she couldn't get. How could Shengmin be so unromantic?
"Lao Gao, Shengmin has helped so much, shouldn't we show our appreciation?"
Gao Shengping snorted coldly, "I told you that you don't understand, yet you still get involved. What does such a great favor mean? Give money or women, or send you over? For something like this, those things are not enough to express it. Even if I am tied to Shengmin in the future, you didn't see the scene today. I am convinced, convinced from the bottom of my heart. This is the faction, this is the mountain, and Lin Shengmin is the leader, do you understand?"
When the sister-in-law heard Gao Shengping say "otherwise I'll send you over there", her heart began to pound. Later, when she heard Gao Shengping describe today's scene, she began to imagine Lin Ze's heroic figure, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
After washing Gao Shengping clean, he went to the bedroom.
Lao Gao was in a good mood today, his skills had greatly improved, and he chatted for about ten minutes before taking a break.
