Chapter 576 Your Hand Is Too Long
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Joint Transport Department.
After receiving the news that the supplies had been successfully delivered, Yoshisaburo Yamamoto's tense nerves relaxed instantly.
At this time, the long-lost sleepiness unknowingly invaded his body.
For three consecutive days, he hardly slept in order to transport more than 300 tons of supplies. Now that all the supplies have been successfully handed over, he can finally put his mind at ease.
In addition to joy, there is a stronger sense of tiredness.
Hisasaku Furukawa also understood his thoughts. Without having time to arrange the bed, Yamamoto Yoshisaburo fell asleep on the sofa with his clothes on.
Just when Yoshisaburo Yamamoto was sleeping soundly, the office door was suddenly kicked open by gravity.
A group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and with the word "spy" written on their armbands appeared at the door.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?" When Hisasaku Furukawa saw this group of people appear, a bad look flashed in his eyes.
"Assistant Furukawa, I'm Kai Shuichiro from the Special Branch of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. We have received an order from Staff Officer Abe Mitsuhiro of the General Staff Department to ask Chief Yamamoto to go to the Chinese Expeditionary Force to investigate an accident."
Furukawa Hisasaku was stunned for a moment and said in a deep voice: "What accident? Why didn't we receive any news?"
Kai Shuichiro said in a deep voice: "The material transport train managed by the Vertical Section had an accident on the way from Zhengzhou to Yichang because it had to avoid the train of the Joint Transportation Department."
"All 4,000 boxes of supplies on the train were burned. According to the information submitted by the Vertical Word Section, the cause of the accident was that your joint transportation department changed the train schedule from Wuhan to Zhengzhou."
"Your department needs to take full responsibility. Now, Mr. Nishio wants to hear Minister Yamamoto's explanation in person."
"Ah..." Hisasaku Furukawa's face turned pale in an instant...
At night, Tsukiya.
During the day, four thousand boxes of supplies in the logistics department were burned to ashes in a fire.
At night, a group of officials from the logistics department were drinking and celebrating with Yue Longsha and the girl. The lame reason behind this is probably only known to the parties involved.
As the protagonist of the banquet, Chen Yang was forced to drink a lot of wine amidst compliments.
This shipment of 4,000 boxes of supplies included not only food but also a number of scarce materials. The most valuable items were the sixty boxes of "medicines" provided by the Hangzhou Garrison Command. The market value of all the materials was at least one million yen.
Not to mention anything else, these sixty boxes of medicine would cost at least four or five hundred thousand yen.
Although everyone in the logistics department was desperately trying to make money, this was a huge deal worth nearly one million yuan, which they rarely encountered.
"Mr. Sato, I have asked Mr. Matsushima from the business department of the Imperial Bank to prepare your profits. I have to go to the headquarters tomorrow to accept the inquiry of Mr. Nishio, so I will leave first today," Chen Yang's face turned red from drinking, but he still did not forget the purpose of coming to drink today.
Sato Fumitai took a look at the number above and his old face smiled like a morning glory.
"Mr. Chen, you go first. I'll take care of everything here." Yoshikawa Masao said with a burp, "Don't worry, I will send Mr. Sato back safely."
Chen Yang stood up and bowed to the people, saying, "Enjoy your meal, everyone. I'll be leaving first. Bye."
After opening the door of the private room, Sakurako Kawada, who was waiting at the door, immediately came forward.
"Have some tea with me to sober you up." Chen Yang did not leave in a hurry, but gave an instruction to Sakurako Kawada.
Sakurako Kawada was a little surprised, but more delighted.
In a quiet private room on the third floor of Yue Longsha, Kawada Sakurako carefully helped Chen Yang make tea with tea sets.
Under the roasting charcoal fire, white steam soon came out of the teapot on the small stove, followed by a popping sound of bubbles.
Sakurako Kawada picked up the hot water, heated the cup, and made tea. The whole set of movements was smooth and pleasing to the eye.
He filled a cup of tea and brought it to Chen Yang. Chen Yang took the tea, sniffed it gently, and then took a sip carefully.
"Well, not bad, good tea, good craftsmanship."
Kawada Sakurako's face lit up and she said, "Boss, if you like, I can learn more."
Chen Yang drank up the tea in the cup, put it down, stared at Kawada Sakurako and said, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Sakurako Kawada was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, somewhat puzzled.
Chen Yang said slowly: "Actually, I don't really like tea."
"Because I always think that making tea is a very troublesome thing."
"And..." Chen Yang grabbed Kawada Sakurako's hand, pressed it hard on the teapot, and said lightly: "If you stretch your hand too far, you will get burned."
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Three seconds later, Chen Yang let go of his hand. Kawada Sakurako ignored the pain in her wrist and looked terrified.
"Now, do you have anything to say to me?"
Kawada Sakurako quickly knelt down, pressed her forehead to the ground and said, "I'm sorry, boss. I know I was wrong."
"I shouldn't have gone to find those two naval officers, but I just wanted to avenge Junko. She was my best sister, and it was Yamamoto who killed her."
Chen Yang stood up and half-knelt in front of Kawada Sakurako. He gently pinched her chin with his right hand and said, "You finally told the truth. I told you, never underestimate anyone."
"I know you are very smart. You plan to have two naval officers take action on Yamamoto Yoshisaburo on his way back to his country, and then throw him into the sea to destroy his body."
"But don't forget that Yamamoto Yoshisaburo is a director of the Black Dragon Society. Do you really think that he is someone that two low-level officers can easily touch?"
"Besides, these two loudmouthed naval officers just came back from Tsukitasa and bragged to everyone that you arranged for Kyoko and Mikako to accompany them in order to get them some work."
"They were also promised that they would be eligible to go to the second floor."
"If Okita Keiji hadn't promptly locked them up in the Navy Special Affairs Investigation Office's confinement room on the pretext of being drunk and causing trouble, the news that you wanted to kill Yamamoto Yoshisaburo would probably have been known to the entire Shanghai intelligence agency."
"Boss, I'm sorry." Sakurako Kawada's face was full of horror. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.
"Get up." Chen Yang said calmly, "But you can rest assured. I have already informed His Excellency Guang Ben that after half a month of confinement, the two naval officers will be transferred to Southeast Asia to ensure that they will not appear in Shanghai. Everyone thinks that they are just two drunk people talking nonsense, and no one will know about your affairs."
Kawada Sakurako finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still did not stand up. Instead, she knelt respectfully in front of Chen Yang: "Boss, I know I don't have your means and abilities, but I only ask you for one thing, help me kill Yamamoto, as long as you agree, you can ask me to do anything."
Chen Yang was silent for a long time, then he looked at Kawada Sakurako and said slowly: "Do you remember what I said? Shanghai has good feng shui. Since Yamamoto wants to stay, he should not leave."
