"Director Kitani." Umezumi Saeaki saluted Kenjiro Kitani.
"It seems that Mr. Sakami has made an important discovery." Kenjiro Kitani nodded slightly. Seeing the serious expression of Mr. Sakami Umezumi, he subconsciously thought that Mr. Sakami Umezumi had discovered the problem from the cargo list.
"It is indeed a major discovery." Saegi Umezumi said with a wry smile, "But I'm afraid it's not a good thing for us."
As he spoke, he took out a folded cargo list from his pocket and handed it to Kenjiro Kitani with both hands.
"Huh?" The smile on Kenjiro Kitani's face disappeared. He took the cargo list from Umezu Sae and looked down at it.
Seeing the densely written list, Kitani Kenjiro couldn't help but frown. He looked at it and said, "So, this batch of goods is mainly red wine, perfume, women's handbags, women's fashion, and men's suits..."
Kitani Kenjiro turned the page and continued reading, "There are also some cloth and food... What?"
His eyes suddenly widened, "It's worth two hundred thousand silver dollars!"
Kitani Kenjiro looked at Sakami Umezumi with a scrutinizing look, "Sakami-kun, are you sure there is nothing wrong with what is written here?"
"It is indeed two hundred thousand silver dollars." Saegi Umezumi said, "To be exact, the other party thinks that their goods are worth that much."
"Ridiculous!" Kitani Kenjiro's face darkened. "It's just some red wine, perfume, and handbags. How dare you say it's worth two hundred thousand silver dollars?!"
Hearing that Kenjiro Kitani, a colonel, was as "unsophisticated" as himself, Sajo Umezumi felt inexplicably better.
……
Kitani Kenjiro slammed the cargo list on the table and snorted, "Now that Mr. Cheng knows that the cargo has been burned, is he planning to take this opportunity to blackmail the Empire?"
"That batch of goods was not from Cheng Qianfan's Jiujiu Trading." Saeki Umezumi said, "The cargo list was not provided by Cheng Qianfan either."
"What do you mean?" Kitani Kenjiro frowned and asked, "Didn't you go to see Cheng Qianfan?"
"I did go to meet Cheng Qianfan, but according to Cheng Qianfan, that batch of goods did not belong to Jiujiu Trading, but to Manion Trading Company. Jiujiu Trading was only responsible for transportation." said Saeki Umezumi.
"Please be more careful." Kitani Kenjiro said with a serious face.
Umezumi Saeue explained the situation in detail to Kenjiro Kitani.
"So, this batch of goods belongs to Pete from the French Concession Police Station, and the Manion Company has nothing to do with Cheng Qianfan." Kitani Kenjiro asked in a deep voice, "Did Pete also take out this list of goods?"
"Yes."
"Have the French been blinded by greed?" Kitani Kenjiro laughed in anger, "How dare they say these useless goods are worth 200,000 silver dollars."
"According to them, these red wines are all top-quality French wines and were the favorites of Emperor Napoleon back then. The perfumes are also top-quality perfumes, and the handbags are even more so..." said Umezumi Saeaki.
"Sagami-kun." Kitani Kenjiro interrupted Sagami Umezumi and asked, "What is the mission given to you by the commander?"
"We are investigating the warehouse fire case," said Umezumi Saejo, "and studying whether the seized materials are suspicious."
"Is this batch of supplies suspicious?" asked Kenjiro Kitani.
"Nothing has been found yet." Saejo Umezumi shook his head. "Although the cargo list provided by the French is suspected of blackmailing the Empire, the cargo itself has not been found to be suspicious."
He looked at Kitani Kenjiro and said, "However, this batch of goods was the only material transported into the warehouse yesterday. After carefully studying this strange fire, I still think that there is something wrong with this batch of seized goods. In other words, even if there is nothing wrong with the goods themselves, something must have happened during the time when the goods were transported into the warehouse."
"You mean, it's either the goods themselves or the people who entered the warehouse in the first place?" Kitani Kenjiro asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, Director Kitani." Umezumi Sakami nodded.
"Very good, this may be a possible direction for investigation." Kitani Kenjiro said, "Please continue your investigation."
"Hello." Saijo Umezumi said. He hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "What about this list of goods..."
"Sagami-kun, do your own thing." Kitani Kenjiro looked deeply at Sagami Umezumi. He also wanted to make friends with this young officer who was highly appreciated by the commander. "Do your job. Just do whatever the commander asks you to do."
"Yes." Saegi Umezumi was originally a smart man, but he was frightened by the amount of 200,000 silver dollars on the cargo list and lost his composure. Now, after being pointed out by Kitani Kenjiro, he immediately understood.
Kitani Kenjiro smiled and nodded, "Sagami-kun, please go and get busy."
"Sakami, take your leave." Sakami Umezumi saluted Kenjiro Kitani and prepared to leave.
……
"Sagami-kun." Kitani Kenjiro suddenly called out to Sagami Umezu, "Are you sure that when Peter gave you this list of goods, he didn't know about the fire in the warehouse and the burning of the goods?"
"That's for sure." Saeki Umezumi thought about it carefully, recalled every detail, then nodded and said.
"In other words, putting aside the price itself, the goods on the list are correct?" Kitani Kenjiro asked again.
"From the current perspective, it should be accurate," said Umezumi Saeaki.
Unless Pete, the squad leader of the Political Department of the French Concession Police Station, had received advance notice that the gendarmerie warehouse had caught fire and their goods had been burned, leaving no evidence, otherwise, the French would not have needed to make a false manifest of goods. After all, the goods were in the warehouse, and the truth would be known by checking the two.
This cannot be faked.
Therefore, the inventory list itself should be accurate.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Sakami." Kenjiro Kitani nodded and said.
Umezumi Saeaki saluted Kenjiro Kitani again and left the office.
After Umezumi Sakami left, Kenjiro Kitani opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper, and couldn't help frowning.
This is a list of supplies compiled by the gendarmerie themselves based on the confessions of the soldiers who were arranged by Kamijiro Kamijiro to transport the seized supplies yesterday, combined with Kamijiro Kamijiro's confession.
Kenjiro Kitani placed this piece of paper together with the four pages of paper brought back by Umezumi Sakami on his desk. His expression changed repeatedly, and finally became gloomy and uncertain, and the anger in his eyes became more and more intense.
Kitani Kenjiro picked up the phone. "My name is Kitani Kenjiro. I would like to see the Commander immediately."
"Director Kitani, I'm Atsuto Kawada." Kawada Atsuto said, "Your Excellency the Commander will be available in three quarters of an hour. I will reserve it for you."
"Thank you for your hard work." Kenjiro Kitani thanked him politely and hung up the phone.
……
Just when Kenjiro Kitani went to meet the military police commander Junichiro Ikeuchi.
The inspection room and temporary detention room of the gendarmerie.
Jiichiro Kamii, the captain of the second battalion of the gendarmerie's security room, lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
He felt that he was so unlucky.
The fire in the warehouse was something that no one could have predicted, but now he, the unlucky guy, has to take the responsibility for it.
Just at this time, he heard the sound of footsteps.
Jiichiro Kamie sat up from the bed and looked towards the door.
The door was not opened, but the surveillance window on the wall was opened, and a head appeared there.
"Kamigo Jiichiro." said a hoarse voice.
"Who wants to interrogate me again?" Jiichiro Kamii said weakly. From last night till now, he has been interrogated at least four times by three groups of people.
"Colonel Moriguchi sent me," the man said.
Hearing this, Jiichiro Kamie felt as if he had been injected with morphine and immediately became energetic.
He immediately got down from the bed and went to the small window.
"What did Colonel Moriguchi say?" he asked anxiously, "Colonel Moriguchi, please rescue me this time."
"Colonel Moriguchi is very angry," the man said. "He is very angry that you set fire to the warehouse. The colonel is very angry about your unauthorized actions."
Jiichiro Kamie opened his mouth wide: What?!
"Burning the warehouse may seem like a permanent solution, but it is actually a very stupid act. This will only make the commander, who originally hadn't noticed the warehouse, immediately turn his attention here."
"Stupid, smart-aleck clown."
The man said, he glanced at Jiichiro Kamii, "This is what Colonel Moriguchi said, I am just repeating what the Colonel said."
