Chapter 435
Matsu Yamamoto came to China as an ordinary Japanese businessman. He was not an ordinary businessman, but a cultural businessman. He set up a publishing house and brought his business card to visit all over the world, of course, he also came to Su Chunjun’s side to hand over his business card.
Originally, an ordinary businessman does not need to be received by Su Chunjun, the head of a city.
But this is a Japanese businessman.
Su Chunjun pinched his nose and invited this Japanese businessman to come in for a cup of tea, and soon sent him away.
But after that he had someone follow this Japanese culture businessman.
Su Chunjun: “See where he lands and who visits him.”
Cultural merchants, to put it nicely, are actually relic dealers.
Zhu Yuyan is most familiar with this kind of cultural merchants, because she has really seen a lot of signboards under the banner of cultural exchanges, but all they do is to acquire cultural relics.
Of course, now not called cultural relics, called baby.
Early in the Manchu has not fallen before, foreign businessmen began to pursue China’s silk and porcelain, when the French culture prevails in the Western world, the beauty of the French court are fashionable to take the Chinese small fan, with Chinese porcelain, Chinese porcelain paintings at that time in France is also very popular, such as snuff bottles, in the French court is highly sought after.
Now the Manchu Qing dynasty fell, the palace treasures have fallen out, scattered to the folk everywhere.
Cultural merchants with paper printed U.S. dollars, pounds, francs, in exchange for these real money.
But when the real gold and silver can’t be exchanged for rice and grain, the U.S. banknotes and pounds that can buy grain are much more valuable.
Although Zhu Yuyan hated these artifact dealers, there was actually nothing she could do.
She had heard about this man even if she had, and didn’t take it to heart. After all, Yamamoto is a big name in Japan, she at most felt that this last name is quite bad, but also did not immediately associated with the mountain itself up.
Can not drive this Yamamoto pine again, this time is named to write Zhu Yuyan.
Zhu Yuyan also give the Japanese a face, met him, invited him in to drink tea, not three words she heard that this man has a problem.
She could tell within three words that this man had a problem — really, this man didn’t take her seriously either.
How can I put it? Sometimes a con man’s tactics make you wonder if he’s too clueless to come out and con people.
Yamamoto Matsuri: “Doesn’t Mrs. So long for us in Japan?”
Yamamoto Matsuri: “Japan is a powerful country, Mrs. So must really yearn for the happy life of a Japanese woman.”
Yamamotsu: “When Mrs. Su arrives in Japan, she should learn from Japanese women. Japanese women have the best virtues in this world, and Japanese men are the happiest men in this world. Mr. Su is very popular with women. If he had a Japanese wife, he would be even happier. If Mrs. Su doesn’t want to be left alone, she must learn from Japanese women.”
Look, is this someone with a brain in his head?
Zhu Yuyan really didn’t understand where on earth this Yamamoto Matsu could tell that she was someone who would accept this kind of talk?
Did she look stupid!
She had seen so many Japanese people, and other than Suzuki Yoshiko, there was no other Japanese person who was this stupid. But Suzuki Yoshiko was limited by her family’s education and social status, this Yamamoto Matsu was a man, and in a country like Japan, he was a race of people at the top of the food chain, so how did he also develop such an arrogant temper?
Zhu Yuyan froze for a moment, put down her teacup and said, “Thank you for your golden words. I will seriously consider it.”
Then she sent this Yamamoto Matsu out.
— because she couldn’t decide whether this person was really stupid or had set up a trap for her to drill.
She told Su Chunjun about her conversation with Yamamotsu and asked him, “Do you think this person is really stupid, or is he setting a trap for me?”
The two men had eight hundred heart eyes combined, but for a moment they were also in a daze.
If Zhu Yuyan was a person who thought about everything three times more, Su Chunjun was three hundred times more mindful than her.
So Su Chunjun didn’t even think in the direction of Yamamoto Matsu being stupid himself.
Su Chunjun said grimly, “Otherwise, let’s bring him back for some interrogation.”
Zhu Yuyan shook her head, “Not good. He’s been running around and bumping into people for a while now, so I guess he’s already collected a lot of things in his hands. There must be quite a few people watching him, so let’s find someone to do a play.”
Money could make the devil turn.
The Japanese power had not only intruded into places like the political organs, but even among the street ruffians, there were Japanese eyes and ears. Because the Japanese have been facing the Chinese with conscription – yes, conscription of Japanese soldiers.
Generally the little people refused to go, knowing that to become a soldier now was to send to death.
However, when people who can’t survive don’t have a choice, there are those who can only crash in and give it a try. This is the same as the American ship to the New World, when the Japanese soldiers are the same as taking the money of the family as a way to buy their own life. And there is another advantage of being a Japanese soldier, that is, the family will get a certificate, framed and hung in the center of the family’s hall, the Japanese will be much more polite when they come to the door to search.
After the invasion of Japanese forces, the street fights became more intense.
Of course, Su Chunjun is also responsible for this, as he has been secretly funding several of these forces to fight against the Japanese.
In the past, when the two of them didn’t talk it out, he hid it from her. Later on, the two of them have been unspoken, so he did not hide it anymore. Zhu Yuyan also knew.
Once the two discussed, they found a gang and asked them to rob Yamamoto Matsu.
Yamamoto pine is really quite rich, after coming to buy a small two-story building, hung a signboard, but also invited the Japanese staff to watch the door and receive some guests, to acquire some cultural relics.
After the gang had stepped on the spot, they knew that this business can be done, after all, they have a backer behind them, Mr. Su ah, with Mr. Su as a backer means that even if they are arrested by the police team to go in, turn around and come out in one piece.
What’s wrong with that?
With Mr. Su behind them, these gangsters didn’t cover their tracks too much, and directly broke in with their men, wanting to rob Yamamoto Matsu away.
As a result, except for a Japanese woman secretary on the first floor, there was no one upstairs or downstairs!
The gangsters took a look, bad, this is the leakage of information ah.
Retreat!
The gangsters ran away.
Other Japanese on the road called the police.
Not the Chinese police force, but the Japanese security office.
Japan already has its own security forces in the city. Sometimes when they patrol the same street as the police force, each side goes its own way.
When the Japanese reported the police station, the Japanese military police came over to investigate.
Su Chunjun’s side got the news from the gangs that the news had leaked out and Yamamoto had run away, so he pacified the gangs not to be anxious, there would be another chance later and sent the people away.
Then sit and wait for the Japanese military police to question, after all, Chinese gangs ran into the Japanese company to go well, the Japanese side will certainly come to question.
Left wait not, right wait not.
Instead, they waited for Yamamoto’s side of the people.
Yamamoto sent a woman over, a Japanese maid, only speaks Japanese, not a word of Chinese.
Zhu Yuyan came out to receive the maid, thinking that Yamamoto had some new tricks, only to hear that Yamamoto wanted her to help find a person.
That person, called Yamamoto Matsu.
Zhu Yuyan: “……”
So you guys are really family.
What happens next is even more bizarre.
This Yamamoto Matsu, he was kidnapped and has been kidnapped for days.
Yamamoto’s side never knew, because the Japanese woman secretary in the company, she was the inside man.
She, in conjunction with her boyfriend, and the boyfriend’s Japanese gang, kidnapped Yamamoto Matsu, wanting money.
If it were before, Yamamoto wouldn’t have had to come begging to the Chinese, but he’s now left his former position and can’t make a dent in Japan. Not only does the security office not listen to him, but he can’t find the Japanese gang of daring kidnappers.
Zhu Yuyan sent the maid away and went to find Su Chunjun in a very complicated way.
Whether or not to save Yamamoto Matsu was a secondary issue, and even whether or not to earn Yamamoto’s trust was not the focus now.
The focus now is that they can take this opportunity to hit the Japanese forces on the street hard.
–You see, we are fighting the Japanese gangs in order to find Yamamoto Matsu, who was kidnapped by the Japanese, this is not a declaration of war, we are trying to help a Japanese, this is the spirit of internationalism.
The reason is there.
Fighting up to get off the hook is also convenient.
But Zhu Yuyan raised a question: “We are not now planning to escape, and then fight with the Japanese, Yamamoto will not suspect us again, right?”
The couple with eight hundred heart eyes suspected that this was a set up, a set up against the two of them, a trap for Yamamoto to doubt if they really wanted to escape.
And so, even though Su Chunjun was eager to strike a blow against the Japanese forces on the streets, he had to hold back and grind a bit.
Days after days, Yamamoto couldn’t wait!
This was his eldest son that he had used great effort to secure!
Yamamoto invited Zhu Yuyan over, confessed his father-son relationship with Yamamoto Matsu, and seriously asked her to rescue his son. As an old father, Yamamoto even shed tears in front of her.
–Zhu Yuyan is even more skeptical that this is a setup!
Then Su Chunjun began to look for people for three days, fishing and fishing for two days, fighting with the Japanese on the street every now and then.
Slowly and surely, he was able to put together all the pieces of the puzzle.
For example, the so-called Japanese gang may only have three or four people, including the Japanese woman secretary.
They were totally motivated by the sight of money.
Since Japanese businessmen still like to hire Japanese people to work after they come to China, this kind of thing is actually commonplace on the streets of Japan. Because the Japanese ordinary people are not much opportunity for education, the Japanese side in the Meiji Restoration before, the people even household yellow book are not, so kill a person, destroy a door, are very normal, because there will be no one to manage ah.
The reason why the Japanese did not destroy the country, because the Japanese rich are large landlords, in addition to the rich are all poor households, is really robbed, there is not much money, the family can have a urn of rice are rich, is poor to this point.
So, Yamamoto Matsu had just hired the men, the Japanese woman secretary who came to work sent his message back, and those men quickly decided to help rob the money. They waited so long to find out where Yamamoto Matsu had put the money, and when they did, they kidnapped Yamamoto Matsu.
Why, then, did Yamamoto Matsu’s own father, Yamamoto, not receive word that the kidnappers wanted the money.
Because, according to the rescued Yamamoto Matsu himself said, he in order not to reveal his own father is Yamamoto, deliberately did not say to the kidnappers here locally there are his relatives, so the kidnappers took his token, ran back to Japan to ask for money to go.
Yamamoto Matsu was actually locked up in the home of the Japanese woman’s secretary.
Because the Japanese woman’s secretary was caught by Yamamoto to interrogate, Yamamoto Matsu was locked up for many days without food, only a tank of water to drink, has almost starved to death.
Why was the Japanese woman not interrogated about Yamamoto’s location?
-Because the interrogator only asked for information about her accomplices and then put her aside and left her alone.
Zhu Yuyan heard this and still suspected that this was not true: “They really only interrogated this woman about her accomplices and asked nothing else? Really?” They didn’t even ask one more question, “Where did you lock up Yamamoto Matsu?” Really?
Su Chunjun: “That’s what I was told.”
Zhu Yuyan: “…… False, right? Is it false information?”
Su Chunjun: “I don’t know, that person in charge of the interrogation has already committed harakiri.”
Zhu Yuyan thought, “Precisely because of the hara-kiri, it looks even more like there’s something wrong with it.
