Pang Dali was beaten black and blue by Sakai Sakurako and was carried to the next room to rest, guarded by Wang Heping.
Liang Xiao rested in his room for a few hours.
The sky was bright.
Zhu Ming brought two large boxes to Liang Xiao early in the morning.
One box was filled with gold bars and coins, while the other box was filled with antiques and calligraphy.
Zhu Ming was the chief of operations at the Shanghai station. He had a lot of power. He usually gave him a lot of gifts, and this was not even considered some special income.
"Brother Liang, 200 small yellow croakers and 100,000 Dharma coins. This is for Brother Liang. Please bring these antique calligraphy and paintings to the headquarters.”Zhu Ming laughed.
During the Republic of China, small yellow croakers were gold bars. They weighed one tael and were much cheaper than large yellow croakers.
There were a total of 200 small yellow croakers. They were golden and dazzling.
The so-called gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times.
In this turbulent era, from high officials and nobles to ordinary people, only with gold bars in their hands could they feel at ease.
Ordinary people could not afford big yellow croakers, so some merchants made small yellow croakers.
In Shanghai, small yellow croakers were very popular.
Liang Xiao was not surprised that Zhu Ming took out 200 small yellow croakers at once.
"Brother Zhu, if this matter had happened yesterday, I would still have a way to mediate for you. However, something happened last night.”Liang Xiao patted Zhu Ming's shoulder.
"What happened last night? What happened?" Zhu Ming asked in surprise.”
"You really don't know? Didn't your subordinate tell you?”Liang Xiao pretended to be surprised.
"I don't know anything." Zhu Ming shook his head blankly.
"Brother Zhu, you better be mentally prepared." Liang Xiao sighed.”
Zhu Ming had a bad feeling and asked,""What exactly happened?"
"You have a man named Pang Dali under you. He is a spy planted by the Japanese in Shanghai Station. He was the one who shot Yamada Yuichi in the head last night.”Liang Xiao said.
"What?" Zhu Ming was shocked.
"After his identity was exposed, he tried to shoot me but was stopped by your men.”Liang Xiao said.
"This bastard." Zhu Ming gritted his teeth in anger.
"Brother Zhu, now is not the time to be angry. I didn't report this to the headquarters last night because I wanted to buy you some time so that you could be prepared. Otherwise, with the boss's temper, you wouldn't be able to explain yourself even if you were covered in mouths.”Liang Xiao said indifferently.
Zhu Ming naturally knew how much this matter affected him.
There was a spy planted by the Japanese under him. As a direct officer, he could not escape responsibility.
Moreover, he was from the station chief's department, which also belonged to the Guangdong department.
Although there were many factions within the commander, the power was still in the hands of the minister.
The Guangdong branch had been suppressed and ostracized by the Prime Minister for the past few years. They were already struggling to survive in the cracks. Now that something like this had happened to him, with the Prime Minister's methods, he would definitely use this opportunity to reshuffle the Shanghai branch. The backing behind him would definitely not go against the Prime Minister, who had the power, for a small figure like him.
The more Zhu Ming thought about it, the more shocked he became. If this matter was not handled properly, he would become a chess piece in the game between the two forces.
"Brother Liang, please be magnanimous. I really didn't know that I had such a traitor under me.”Zhu Ming hurriedly pleaded.
Liang Xiao laughed coldly in his heart, but on the surface, he comforted,"Brother Zhu, you don't have to be too pessimistic. In the end, this matter has nothing to do with you. At most, you're just a poor supervisor.”
Zhu Ming rolled his eyes. Liang Xiao was saying this without any hesitation. It was not a small matter to monitor the situation. If it was light, he would lose his official position. If it was serious, he would be secretly executed as a spy.
"Brother Liang, I hope you can help me hide this for a while so that I can think of a countermeasure.”Zhu Ming said.
Liang Xiao was displeased." I'm taking the risk to hide this from you. If the Prime Minister finds out, he'll scold me."”
Zhu Ming hurriedly said," Brother Liang, you've troubled yourself. I will definitely not forget your great kindness. Please help me hide it for a while longer. I will definitely thank you heavily."”
Liang Xiao was waiting for this sentence.
He stretched out five fingers and said,"Five hundred small yellow croakers."”
Zhu Ming's expression changed, thinking that this guy was too black-hearted. He actually asked for 500 small yellow croakers.
However, at this time, he could not care so much. As long as he could keep his life and official position, even if he had to go bankrupt, it was not a big deal.
"A gentleman's word is a promise." Zhu Ming hurriedly said.
"I won't go back on my word, but you have to be quick. I can't delay it for long.”Liang Xiao said.
"I will try my best."
Zhu Ming wanted to quickly tell the station chief about this matter and ask him to mention it to Deputy Director Li. At this time, only the big shots of the Guangdong faction could save him.
Liang Xiao smiled and consoled Zhu Ming before ignoring him.
Zhu Ming went in to vent his anger and hurriedly left the safe spot. He must have gone to find some connections.
However, this matter had nothing to do with him. If it wasn't for Little Yellow Fish, he wouldn't care about Zhu Ming's fate.
He called Wang Heping over and asked him to bring Pang Dali over.
After resting for a few hours, his mind was back to normal. It was time for him to read the memory of the enormous force.
Pang Dali had been beaten up by Zhu Ming, and his face had been beaten into a pig's head. Blood was flowing out of his head, and he looked extremely terrifying.
"Pang Dali, who's your superior?”
When he asked, he pressed his palm on Pang Dali's back.
An unfamiliar memory flowed into his mind.
"Ono Yoshio, male, Special Higher Police intelligence officer, alias Gu Wande, owner of De Zhuang Restaurant.”
" Pang Dali rarely went to find Ono Yoshio. His method of transmitting information was very simple. On the first and fifteenth of every month, he would place the information in a crack in the wall on the west side of the De Zhuang Hotel and cover the traces with bricks.”
"If Ono Yoshio had given him an order, he would have sent someone to invite Pang Dali to the De Zhuang Restaurant in the name of selling cigarettes.”
"Pang Dali can't take the initiative to see Ono Yoshio unless there's an emergency.”
"In the past half a year, Pang Dali had sold information in exchange for a large fortune.”
………
After receiving Pang Dali's memories.
Liang Xiao rubbed his swollen head. This Pang Dali was really harmful. Not only did he work as a spy for the Japanese, but he also sold intelligence to earn black money. He even did not let go of things like kidnapping and extortion.
It wouldn't be too much to kill someone like him a hundred times.
At the moment, the most important thing was to quickly dig out the other two members of the Cherry Blossom Group and find out the list of people they had instigated. Then, they would quickly arrest these traitors and minimize the losses. Otherwise, who knew how much information these scum would pass to their Japanese master.
As for Ono Yoshio, Pang Dali's superior, he should not alert the enemy for now. As long as the news of Pang Dali's arrest did not spread, he would not leave Tokujo Hotel.
This was a shocking case. The forces behind it were complicated. He could not take it down alone.
He thought about it again and again and decided to send the details of the case to the magistrate.
Of course, he only mentioned the case of the Sakura Team and did not mention anything about Pang Dali's case.
