Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 94 I'll give you some trouble

"A few days ago, Mr. Okamura sent me another telegram, asking me to help him calculate how many customers your pharmacy has every day, how many people go out with medicine, how many go out empty-handed, and how many people come back to buy medicine again!"

"There's such a thing? Why didn't Uncle Okamura tell me?"

"So we are really like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. We are all family. According to Mr. Okamura, I can help you calculate the purchasing power of Shanghai to prevent you from blindly expanding and opening branches and losing money in business. But I am embarrassed to say it directly for fear that you will think too much." Yang Dengying switched to Chinese and replied.

"You sent the people outside the pharmacy. That's a bit of a stretch, but then why did you also arrange for someone to follow me, the owner of the pharmacy, whenever I go out?"

"Your boss is Chinese, after all. Mr. Okamura is worried that you might not be able to judge people well and hire the wrong people, so he wants you to help him inspect and test them as well!"

Damn, here's the point! The flood flushed the Dragon King Temple? It flushed your ass! The old man was really evil! Fortunately, by some strange coincidence, Lao Zhou came back and found out, otherwise Lao Zhao would have been exposed!
You're a fucking traitor! I'm going to kill you!
The truth is out, but Chen Jiehua can't do anything to him on the surface. He is a good friend of Okamura Yasuji, and if you really think about it, he is still your elder!

This traitor is no simple matter! He graduated from Imperial Waseda University and is currently a special correspondent for the Ko Party's Party Affairs Investigation Division in Shanghai! He's quite a troublesome person!

I haven't heard of this person's name. He shouldn't be a big shot. We need to find a way to kill him as soon as possible, otherwise he will become too powerful to be eliminated later and our comrades in the organization will suffer great losses.

Having said that, Qingmu Qiao no longer had any intention of continuing to ask questions or communicate.

"Mr. Yang, you can take your people with you. Please also take back all your people and keep them under control. The shopkeeper I'm using is a graduate of the Imperial Army Officer Academy. I went to the academy to personally verify his identity when I returned to Tokyo this time."

"Alright, I'll take him away. Thank you, Mr. Aoki, for your generosity. But I still have to mention that Mr. Okamura is really doing this for your own good. He's worried you'll get scammed. Please don't mind!"

"It's okay, don't worry, Mr. Yang. I will explain everything between my uncle and me to him."

After Chen Jiehua and Mio left Watanabe Watanabe's secret building, they drove back to the pharmacy and explained to Zhao Shiyu that the crisis was temporarily resolved.

"But those few spots you gave me are still useless. Don't get involved in organizing activities and finding venues. Report to the organization. For now, just be quiet and be a good shopkeeper here. When you have time, find a way to go to Jinling as soon as possible to bring Chen Lanfeng over."

After Chen Jiehua finished communicating with Lao Zhao, he drove back home, but Lao Zhou had not returned yet.

"Mio, help me analyze this. What exactly is Okamura Neiji's motive? It always seems so strange! He went to such great lengths to remotely control the special envoys from the Guo Party's Party Affairs Investigation Section in Shanghai to monitor our pharmacy!"

"And calculate the customer flow of the big pharmacy! You can come to me directly to calculate the customer flow and look at the store's account books!"

"Or wouldn't it be more convenient to just remotely calculate the Japanese? Using someone from the Republic of China? Even if Yang Dengying graduated from Waseda University, he's still a Republic of China citizen, right? If he can doubt someone who graduated from the Imperial Army Academy, why can't he doubt him?"

"It doesn't make sense! This logic doesn't make sense!"

"Aoki, based on what you said, Mio also thinks Uncle Okamura's behavior is a bit strange. Unless, he's calculating customer flow to get what he believes to be the real data, and he's afraid we'll give him false data? Afraid we're playing dirty with the accounts and embezzling sales revenue?"

"Is the headquarters so short of money? Using the most primitive method to measure the sales of a large pharmacy, I always feel that it is not that simple."

"If you can't figure it out, you can think about it slowly. The most important thing right now is to take over the East Asia Common Culture College. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has managed this resource for decades, so don't let it go to waste." At night, when Lao Zhou hadn't returned yet, Chen Jiehua took advantage of the darkness and lack of moonlight to sneak into the alley behind the British Concession Police Station and threw the bodies of the Japanese ronin in the space against the wall.

The next day, Chen Jiehua put on his military uniform and came to the pharmacy with Fujiwara Mio. He saw Zhao Shiyu and Zhou Yongsu were there. Zhou Yongsu had been hired as the shopkeeper of the new store and was discussing the opening of the store with Zhao.

When the two drove to the consulate general, they happened to meet Watanabe Watanabe who was going out with a large group of people!

"Watanabe-kun! What are you doing with so many people?"

"Mr. Aoki, I just received a tip-off that the body of an important ronin from our country was found last night in the alley behind the British Concession Police Station after disappearing for over ten days!"

"What? The missing ronin? Is it Togo Naotada?"

"Aoki-kun also knows Togo Naotada? Oh, Aoki-kun is also from Kagoshima."

"I don't know him, but the Togo family has some connections with the navy, and they're considered retainers of my uncle's family. When I returned to Tokyo this time, Nagata-senpai from the headquarters mentioned them."

"According to the plan, the wanderers in Shanghai are also under my jurisdiction. It seems I have no choice but to change my itinerary and go along to see it all!"

Chen Jiehua successfully broke in and drove with Watanabe Watanabe towards the British Concession Police Station.

The vehicle arrived and stopped by the roadside. There were already many people gathered at the entrance of the alley to watch the excitement. Watanabe led his men in, shouting all the way. A scout saw that there were three Japanese cars and a colonel among them!
Bao Tan was startled and thought, "Oh my god, this is trouble!" He quickly came up to greet them.

Watanabe was doing a routine inspection of the body and asking about the situation. Detective Bao didn't speak Japanese, so he could only explain in Chinese, "After preliminary investigation, the body of this ronin suddenly appeared here last night. It was discovered by the night patrol and reported to the police station in a timely manner."

"Our experts have determined that he suffered two gunshot wounds, one to the heart being fatal. The preliminary time of death is estimated to be around 10 pm last night!"

"But strangely enough, after investigation, neither the surrounding residents nor the police officers on duty heard any gunshots last night!"

"We also investigated the scene and found no signs of a struggle."

"No signs of a struggle? You mean someone killed him somewhere else and brought him here? Have you investigated? Did anyone see or hear a car coming here last night? Or are you trying to shirk responsibility?!"

Bao Tan heard the colonel behind him questioning him in fluent Chinese, and he was very aggressive! He really came with bad intentions! This person appeared here inexplicably. Even if he wanted to prove that someone was framing him, he had to provide evidence!

The key to this strange thing is this! When the night patrol passed by at around 9 o'clock, there was no body. But when he came back at around 11 o'clock, he found the body! But there was not even a trace of car wheels on the street!

"This..." Detective Bao hesitated and didn't dare to respond.

"This is Colonel Aoki, the latest order from our headquarters. All the ronin in Shanghai are under the unified management and command of Colonel Aoki."
