Chapter 212 [Autumn Cicada 29]
That night, the military ship exploded in Shanghai and all the cargo was engulfed in flames.
Sato Daizo was very angry when he received the call in the middle of the night, and he quickly called Miyamoto Sorano.
Sato Daizo asked Miyamoto Sorano to investigate the matter.
Miyamoto Sorano asked Kojima to find Blue Leopard and also asked him to capture some laborers from the clothing factory.
At this time, Lin Xiaozhuang found out that the person behind Blue Leopard was Tao Zongbo, and quickly told Ye Chong about it.
When Ji Cheng learned that the workers in the clothing factory had been arrested, he went to Sato Daizo to question him.
Chi Cheng said, "General Sato, why did you take the workers of the clothing factory away for interrogation? Don't forget that the clothing factory is to bring us greater benefits."
However, Sato Daizo had already changed his attitude and was eager to take advantage of this opportunity to reduce the number of workers in the clothing factory.
Sato Daizo said hypocritically, "Mr. Chi, this is not nice to hear. I just wanted to find the culprit. All the goods were burned for no reason."
Chi Cheng said, "I hope General Sato can promise me that there will be no oppression and military control in the clothing factory."
Sato Daizo said with difficulty, "It's not impossible. I have one condition. If you can agree to it, Mr. Chi, I can agree to your request."
"What conditions?" Chi Cheng hated Sato Daizo for taking advantage of others.
"I heard that Mr. Chi was selling Chi Mansion some time ago, but I don't know if you have sold your Chi Mansion?" said Sato Daizo.
"Not really." Chi Cheng already knew Sato Daizo's purpose.
"To be honest, I really like Mr. Chi's house, but I don't know if Mr. Chi can give it up." said Sato Daizo.
Ji Cheng knew that Sato Daizo was trying to get something for nothing and get a house for free without spending a penny.
"Then I wonder how much General Sato offered?" Chi Cheng pretended not to understand what Sato Daizo meant and acted stupid.
Seeing that Chi Cheng was not interested, Sato Daizo said, "Mr. Chi, talking about money hurts our feelings. Besides, I'm a little tight on money recently and can't come up with that much money. How about this figure?"
Sato Daizo held up five fingers.
Chi Cheng said, "General Sato is indeed very generous. He actually offered 500 small yellow croakers. Thank you very much, General Sato. I wonder when General Sato is going to hand over the house. I am ready at any time. As long as General Sato prepares the money, I will hand over the house to you at any time."
Sato Daizo was choked. That was not what he meant at all. He only wanted to give five hundred dollars, which was considered a lot. However, after Chi Cheng lifted him up, it became five hundred small yellow croakers.
Sato Daizo was not willing to give the five hundred small yellow croakers, so he said shamelessly, "Mr. Chi, you misunderstood. I said fifty dollars, which is all I have at the moment. Anyway, your house is already there, and you have to sell it anyway. It doesn't matter who you sell it to, you might as well sell it to me, and I'm giving you a sincere price."
Chi Cheng was shocked by Sato Daizo's shamelessness. What kind of shamelessness could someone have to say such a thing? It was simply shameless. What was the difference between this and robbery? Fifty dollars was like giving money to a beggar. Who could buy a small villa with fifty dollars?
"The price is too low, General Sato. I also have to support a family. You only paid fifty dollars for a villa as big as mine. This is a loss-making deal for me." Chi Cheng said.
Sato Daizo suddenly became a little unhappy and said, "I think it's fair. Mr. Chi can think about the deal between us carefully."
Ji Cheng said he would think about it carefully.
Miyamoto Sorano found out that someone was buying a batch of white phosphorus at a high price on the black market, but he couldn't find out who bought it because all the clues were erased by Youyou.
So, Miyamoto Sorano told Sato Daizo what he had found out.
Sato Daizo sent someone to invite Chi Cheng to come for a confrontation.
Sato Daizo said to Chi Cheng, "I wonder if Mr. Chi can explain to me the bombing of the military ship?"
Chi Cheng pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "I didn't know. The military ship blew up my supplies. I am the victim, okay?"
Miyamoto Sono said, "Mr. Chi, I found out that someone is buying white phosphorus at a high price on the black market. I wonder if Mr. Chi knows anything about this white phosphorus?"
"White phosphorus? What is that?" Chi Cheng said curiously.
"White phosphorus is a white or light yellow translucent solid with a soft texture. It is brittle when cold and produces green phosphorescence and white smoke in the dark when exposed to air," said Miyamoto Sorano.
"What does that have to do with the bombing of the warship?" Chi Cheng asked in confusion.
"I suspect that the destruction of the warship was caused by white phosphorus," said Miyamoto Sorano.
"Mr. Miyamoto, do you have any evidence? Are you so sure that the destruction of the warship was caused by white phosphorus?" Chi Cheng asked.
"Yes, I am very sure. There was someone in the black market who was buying white phosphorus at a high price, and then the military ship was blown up. I find it hard to doubt that it was not the same person who committed the crime." Miyamoto Sorano said.
"Did the Miyamoto army find out who was buying white phosphorus at a high price?" Chi Cheng asked.
"No, but I believe the murderer behind this will definitely reveal himself." Miyamoto Sorano said.
Chi Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Miyamoto Sorano didn't find anything on Tang Feng at all, which meant that someone helped him clean up the mess. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Tang Feng to be found by himself.
Miyamoto Sorano always felt that this matter was related to Ji Cheng, but he had no evidence and could not convict Ji Cheng at all.
In order to divert Sato Daizo's attention, Ye Chong framed Tao Zongbo and went to Sato Daizo to tell him that Tao Zongbo was actually a Communist and that he had used the name of the Military Control Commission to put the blame on Chi Cheng for the white phosphorus incident.
When Sato Daizo learned about this, he immediately ordered the arrest of Tao Zongbo.
Miyamoto Sono also found Tao Zongbo. He angrily asked, "Why did you give me false information? What is your intention?"
Tao Zongbo was very puzzled, because he didn't know why the information was false, so he had to beg for mercy, "Miyamoto-kun, I don't know why the information is false either."
Miyamoto Sorano did not believe what Tao Zongbo said, and Tao Zongbo also realized that Miyamoto Sorano would not believe him, so Tao Zongbo planned to escape. Seeing this, Miyamoto Sorano shot and killed Tao Zongbo, thinking that Tao Zongbo was fleeing for fear of crime.
Miyamoto Sorano did not expect that this scene was seen by Sato Daizo and Ye Chong who came with their people.
After seeing Sato Daizo, Miyamoto Sono explained, "General Sato, this operation failed because Tao Zongbo gave me false information."
Sato Daizo was very angry and didn't know whether he should believe Miyamoto Sono or not. He said directly, "Miyamoto, don't worry about this matter. When you go back, write a report for me and give it to Ye Chong. The follow-up will be left to Ye Chong."
Miyamoto Sorano was very dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to agree.
After Miyamoto Sorano finished writing the report, he handed it to Ye Chong. Then Sato Daizo took Ye Chong to report to Kiyozumi Ueno.
Kiyozumi Ueno said that he would handle Miyamoto Sorano's matter personally.
After that, Miyamoto Sorano was suspended from his post. Miyamoto Sorano was very dissatisfied with Sato Daizo, thinking that Sato Daizo was killing him. When there were benefits, all the credit was his, and when there were no benefits, all the responsibilities were his. He clearly did nothing wrong and it must have been Ye Chong who framed him, but no one was willing to believe him.
Sato Daizo understood that Kiyozumi Ueno had another purpose in coming here, perhaps for Qiu Chan.
The Japanese wanted to build a shipyard and decided to let Chi Cheng manage the new transportation company.
