Chapter 170.

“Chief, a man claiming to be from the Japanese consulate is waiting for you in the conference room.” Just after returning to the Old Gate Capture Room, Lei Gang, who stayed behind to guard the room, greeted him.

“What time is it, the arrest room is off duty?” Cheng Mo gave a surprised cry and looked at his watch, it was 7:30pm.

If it wasn’t for the case, he would have gotten off work and gone back a long time ago.

“Alright, invite the person to my office, you can go back from work.” Cheng Mo waved his hand and commanded, although the case is urgent, but also can’t let his men work day and night ah, now there are no clues to the murderer, the rest or have to rest.

In the arrest room to stay up all night is not that necessary.

Cheng Mo are a step ahead to let Su Moer go to the Central Hotel booked a room, these days for the case, he estimated that he could not care about the normal commute, Su Moer alone at home, she is not assured that it is better to live in the hotel to the security.

Moreover, the central hotel is Lu Liankui open, Lu Jiajun care, Su Moer’s safety is not a problem, is only a big summer clothing change problem.

This is not difficult to solve, he and Su Moer is an inspector, one is a doctor, the occupation is more special, overtime and night shift is a common thing, so whether in the hospital or in the inspector’s office have a spare change of clothes.

Even if they bought them now, they didn’t lack the money.

Of course, he could have asked Tang Tao to pick up Su Mo’er and take her home, but during the newlywed period, it was the time for honey, so it was better not to separate.

The Central Hotel is close, better than the conditions of the trap room, something a phone call can contact, open a room, even if you live for ten days and a half months, Lu Liankui can still rip him off?

People, Cheng Mo looked up, actually is an old acquaintance, the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, second secretary Takeshita.

“Inspector Cheng, excuse me.”

“Secretary Takeshita is polite, please have a seat.” Although disgusted, Cheng Mo still acted extremely polite and greeted Takeshita as he sat down.

“Thank you.”

Out of politeness, Cheng Mo poured him a glass of water, “What is Secretary Takeshita here for this time?”

“Inspector Cheng, I am here for the case of our Great Japanese Empire expatriates who were killed in the concession.” Takeshita spoke.

“Is Secretary Takeshita here to learn about the case, or is there another purpose?”

“One is to understand the case, and the other is to hope that Inspector Cheng can solve the case as soon as possible and return justice to the deceased, so that the deceased can rest in peace sooner.” Takeshita said.

“Solving the case as soon as possible, this is natural, as for the facts of the case, the case is in the investigation stage, this we are not allowed to disclose to the public, so as not to cause unnecessary rumors.” Cheng Mo directly refused to disclose the case, although he also knew that the Japanese had ways to find out, but it was impossible to know from his side, at the same time, he also gave an injunction to his own men, except for inquiries from their superiors, they were not allowed to disclose the case to those who had nothing to do with the case and so on.

He didn’t want to be interfered with the investigation of the case by the pressure of public opinion outside of the case, especially since the case involved the Japanese secret service in China, the case was highly sensitive and could easily be taken off course and wrapped up.

“Inspector Cheng, my Great Japanese Empire expatriate was assassinated, the consulate has the right to know the truth of the case!” Takeshita was slightly enraged.

“Who was it that told Secretary Takeshita that Mr. Nojiri was assassinated, and before the inspectorate even investigated the results, you knew about it first?” Cheng Mo’s eyes were instantly sharp, looking straight at Takeshita with a questioning cry.

“Guessing, in the last six months, there have been many incidents of attacks and harassment of our Imperial expatriates within the Concession, I’m just basing my guess on that.”

“Then may I ask if there have been any instances of Japanese expatriates being assassinated and killed in the Concession?”

“This ……” Takeshita was instantly stumped by the question. “Secretary Takeshita, please don’t say anything out of thin air, you are a diplomat, a diplomat’s words should be rigorous and objective, rather than random speculation, which can cause unnecessary consequences.” Cheng Mo directly lectured up bamboo down.

“Inspector Cheng, then it’s always fine for me to find out how far the case has progressed, right?” Takeshita clenched his teeth and continued to ask.

“Regarding the progress of the investigation of the case, we will disclose it to the victim’s family or to the public as appropriate, Secretary Takeshita will naturally know at that time, and right now, I can only have no comment.” Cheng Mo knew what Takeshita was trying to do, it was nothing more than trying to use himself to make a statement.

It was conceivable that tomorrow morning’s newspapers, especially those controlled by the Japanese and the hypocrites, would definitely report on this case.

It will even release some so-called insider information ……

He might be exploited if he saw or didn’t see Takeshita today, and next he would be in the eye of a storm of public opinion.

There was no way to stop this, no matter who came to investigate this case, then he would be the one in the eye of the storm of public opinion.

It is foreseeable that the Japanese will use the death of “Nojiri” to publicize that the concession is unfavorable to the protection of Japanese expatriates, and then lead to the head of the fight against “anti-Japanese” and patriots, and then get more activities in the concession and even law enforcement facilities.

Seeing that he could not get any information from Cheng Mo’s side, Takeshita could only leave unhappily.

Cheng Mo looked at the back of Bamboo Shimo’s departure, his face quickly gloomy only, some annoyed, he took out his cigarette case, found that there is only one cigarette left inside, took it out, lit it up and smoked a couple of puffs, quickly adjusted his mindset and thoughts, and then grabbed the telephone on the table and dialed a number.

“Mr. Tony, this is Cheng Mo, there’s a situation I need to report to you.” Cheng Mo made this call directly to Tony Kai Ziwei’s Vice President Director, he had this authority, he was a member of the British Secret Service’s Far East team, reporting directly to Tony Kai Ziwei was not considered overstepping his rank.

He told Tony Kaiser on the phone about his concerns and hoped that early preparations would be made for the industrial layout.

Tony Kaiser appreciated Cheng Mo’s honesty and loyalty on the phone and encouraged him to continue to investigate the case without any worries, he would always support him.

Although the British are not reliable, but at least at the moment the British will not let the Japanese any request with it, the powers in power in addition to the face, but also to face the domestic opponents of the political pressure, get it wrong, a small thing can make their own domestic overturn.

Even if they were strong, they still had to maintain a bit of face, and they were seen through, so what’s the point of playing?

Moreover, the Japanese are not as powerful as they advertised, the Chinese have fought like this, not yet surrendered?

On the contrary, they themselves are a little overwhelmed, Japan is a resource-poor country, fighting a war, fighting is the resources and industrial capacity.

Japan is an industrial capacity, but they do not have the raw materials and resources to produce ah, if not from Europe and the United States imports of oil, rubber, and scrap iron and steel and other raw materials, they can still produce a steady stream of weapons and ammunition? Can not win quickly, they are in the quagmire.

Of course, can see this after all only a few people, the vast majority of people do not have this command, and even if this is the case, the progress of the war also no one can say accurate, the British mentality is now belong to the ostrich type.

As long as my interests are not damaged, I can hold out for as long as I can. The interests of the Far East are extremely important to his currently collapsed domestic economy.

Can’t suck blood from overseas to supplement to the domestic, the domestic immediately have to collapse.

War, in fact, is sometimes a choice in both directions, depending on who is the final winner.
