Chapter 867: The Deputy Mayor Was Assassinated
Lin Tianbao nodded and said, "I'll go see Mogeev right away. By the way, Boss, there's something else I want to tell you."
"I found some news, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Chen Yang glanced at Lin Tianbao and asked in a friendly voice: "What news?"
Lin Tianbao said slowly: "When I was discussing the contract with Rogers, he accidentally let it slip."
"What the Soviets need is 5,000 boxes of penicillin."
"But we only have 4,000 boxes. I can't imagine where they are going to find the remaining 1,000 boxes."
"So that's it." Chen Yang blurted out without even thinking: "Dabao, have you forgotten that when Cohen was about to make a deal with Mogayev, someone came out to mess things up?"
"Cohen wanted to buy it back at a low price, but the other party raised the price as soon as he sold it, causing the price of penicillin to continue to rise."
Lin Tianbao asked in surprise: "Boss, are you talking about Dong Fang's group?"
"No way, they want to sell their goods to the Jews?"
Chen Yang felt it was unlikely to sell the goods in his hands to the Jews.
If the Jews were going to get their goods, they would definitely contact them first.
At this time, everyone was paying attention to the situation of the medicines, and the Japanese were trying their best to investigate those who were hoarding penicillin.
Sanders came to China for medicines. If they are willing to take over, Dong Fang would be willing to let go even at a loss.
But there has been no news, which proves that they are not going to buy it.
Chen Yang patted his head and instantly realized why Shimazu Yoshio came to Shanghai. It turned out that these Jews not only wanted the penicillin in his hand, but also planned to deal with Dong Fang as well.
Just because this guy raised the price of penicillin and ruined their business? Is this a revenge?
Thinking of this, Chen Yang sneered and said, "Selling? That costs money, it's not as easy as robbing."
Lin Tianbao was surprised and asked, "Boss, are you saying that those Jews are planning to rob Dong Fang's goods?"
"No way, where do they get the courage? Dong Fang has Minister Song behind him. The Kong family seems to be involved in this incident. Do these outsiders want to rebel?"
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Some things don't need to be done by yourself. Dabao, you still think these Jews are too simple."
"If you knew how vicious and unscrupulous their methods were, you would understand that no matter what method I use to deal with them, it would not be excessive."
"Okay, you should go back early and put the medicine issue aside for now."
Lin Tianbao nodded and said, "What about Mogeev?"
Chen Yang said calmly: "Let the Jews take the medicine away first, and then we can take action after the payment and goods are settled."
"We have to watch them take the bait."
Before Lin Tianbao could say anything, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.
The head of the Mei Agency, Qingqi Qingyin, pushed open the door of his office and said breathlessly, "Mr. Chen, something happened."
"Shanghai Vice Mayor Lu Bingyuan was assassinated by a KMT assassin while dining at the Holiday Inn Brande in Hongkou District."
"One bullet hit his head and he died instantly."
"The people at number 76 have been notified. Please come with me."
Chen Yang was surprised because Lu Bingyuan was one of the two deputy mayors of Shanghai.
The power structure of the Shanghai Stock Exchange still continues the previous structure.
The current mayor is Minister Zhou, who is specially appointed from Jinling, and there are two deputy mayors under him.
One is Tian Maochun and the other is Lu Bingyuan.
Lu Bingyuan is in charge of the people's livelihood and economy, which is the affairs of the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Industry Bureau.
This person is a member of the Central Executive Committee and a die-hard traitor. Although he cannot be said to be a disaster to the country and the people, he is definitely not a good person.
Chen Yang was just wondering, the Shanghai Military Control Commission rarely carried out assassination operations, so why did they suddenly attack Lu Bingyuan? Did something happen?
"Qingqi-kun, please wait a moment. Give me a few minutes to arrange the work. It will be quick." Chen Yang did not think too long. He gave Qingqi Qingyin an apologetic smile, then used the internal phone to call the General Affairs Department and explained some work matters to Higashino Daiki.
Everything was arranged, Chen Yang stood up, picked up the suit on the hanger and said: "Let's go."
Banquet hall on the second floor of Brand Holiday Hotel, Hongkou District, Shanghai.
When Chen Yang and others arrived, martial law had already been put in place.
The first to arrive was Genichirō Otani from the Special Higher Police. The Special Higher Police is a police department and was the first to receive a call after the murder.
However, due to Lu Bingyuan's identity, he was not only the deputy mayor but also one of the senior members of the Central Executive Committee. The Mei Agency, which was responsible for Jinling intelligence, and the No. 76 agency, a subordinate agency of the Jinling Intelligence Agency's Special Committee, also sent people to the scene.
As the deputy director of the Special Affairs Committee, Chen Yang naturally had no choice but to take responsibility if anything happened to the officials appointed by Nanjing.
"Mr. Otani, long time no see." Chen Yang and Haruki Keiin walked into the banquet hall one after another. Chen Yang saw Otani Genichiro who was talking to Koizumi Kenichi at a glance.
"Minister Chen, such a murder case actually alarmed you?" Without waiting for Otani Genichiro to speak, Koizumi Kenichi greeted Chen Yang first.
A few years ago, when Chen Yang was still a small vendor, Koizumi Kenichi was the head of the Information Investigation Section of the Special High Section. So many years have passed, and he is still a lieutenant colonel and still the head of the section.
On the other hand, Higashino Daiki, who followed Chen Yang, had already grown from a small lieutenant in the logistics department to a colonel.
"Mr. Koizumi, did you find anything?" Chen Yang walked to the middle of the banquet hall and asked casually while looking at the corpse lying on the ground.
Koizumi Kenichi opened the report in his hand and said, "Minister Chen, it has been confirmed that the deceased is Lu Bingyuan, the deputy mayor of Shanghai."
"The wound was on the left temple. The gunman was shot at close range and killed him with one shot."
Chen Yang took the gloves handed to him by Qingqi Qingyin, squatted down, gently opened Lu Bingyuan's head, looked at the wound on the left side and said: "The murderer is very professional."
"He was shot dead at close range. It was obvious that he was well prepared."
"Did anyone see clearly what the murderer looked like?"
Otani Genichirō said in a deep voice: "I have asked someone to find out. The person dining with Lu Bingyuan is his lover, Miss He."
"Because the incident happened suddenly, Miss He did not see the murderer's face clearly. She only saw that he was wearing a black coat and a hat."
"He is about 1.7 meters tall, with an average build, not fat or thin, nothing special."
"According to our deduction, it is very likely that he was a killer from the Military Control Commission."
"Military Control Commission assassin? The appearance you described does look like a professional assassin, ordinary and calm." Chen Yang nodded slightly, stood up and took off his gloves, threw them to the guard beside him and said, "Assassinating the deputy mayor of Shanghai openly, it seems that the Military Control Commission has something big to do again."
"Otani-kun, you guys have some work to do."
