Chapter 1093 What is a Hat Master?
Wen San'er went outside, got the cart, and hurriedly rushed to the Lin residence.
They were stopped by the auxiliary management bureau staff who were on duty from a distance.
Wen San'er, panting heavily, stammered, "Boss... Boss, it's me... it's me, Wen San'er. You... you see this car, Director Niu gave it to me. Do you remember? I came here to take Master Lin to stroll around Tianqiao before!"
The people from the auxiliary management bureau vaguely remembered him. "You're here for something?"
"I have urgent business with Director Niu!"
The person from the auxiliary management bureau shook his head, "Director Niu is not here."
"Could I make a phone call to Director Niu?"
The staff member said awkwardly, "As you know, I'm just a guard..."
Wen San'er got anxious. "Let me tell you the truth! Someone wants to harm Master Lin, and it's happening tomorrow. If we don't inform Director Niu soon, we'll be in big trouble!"
The staff member immediately became serious.
"Go to the gatehouse and wait for me. I'll report to my superiors!"
About twenty minutes later, the news was reported to the higher-ups of the Beiping Assistant Administration Bureau, and then they notified Yu Xuecheng, who had replaced Wang Xiaoshou as the detective captain.
In fact, Niu San'er's intelligence network in Beiping had already noticed the anomaly and had begun to gather more information to form a briefing.
However, this was the first time they had received information as directly and explicitly as Wen San'er's, stating that someone wanted to harm Master Lin.
Yu Xuecheng rushed to the entrance of the Lin residence and met Wen San'er.
"Hello, Wen San'er, I am Yu Xuecheng, the captain of the Beiping Detective Team. Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"
...........
Tianjin, Lin Mansion.
Niu San'er has been very busy these past few days. As the year draws to a close, Lin Ze has not only not had any free time, but his schedule is actually very tight.
In addition to visiting and extending greetings at the port construction site, Lin Ze also made sure to visit places such as the Chamber of Commerce, the Police Headquarters, and the Assistant Management Bureau.
Not only do they have to leave, but they also have to bring genuine goods with them, and Niu San'er has to arrange all of this.
Niu San'er hasn't been sleeping well these past two days, not only because he's been busy, but also because of a piece of intelligence that's been getting on his nerves.
Moriyama Toshiki, a leader of the Black Dragon Society in Shanghai, recently arrived in Beiping.
The Black Dragon Society has been established for a long time, several decades now. It has always been a semi-official, semi-private organization. Its first president was Ryohei Uchida, a leading figure of Japanese nationalism on the Japanese side. The so-called Manchuria-Mongolia Plan of the Japanese was proposed by him. It can be said that the Japanese's unscrupulous pursuit of land outside the Great Wall over the past few decades was largely due to his promotion.
Another important figure in the Black Dragon Society is the infamous spy chief, Toyama Mitsuru.
According to some of the Black Dragon Society's previous activities, this organization adheres to extremely extreme Japanese nationalism and is extremely xenophobic. The Black Dragon Society strongly resisted the military's practice of accepting locals into the army from places like Manchuria, Annam, and Korea, and even granting them the highest rank of colonel. They also mobilized their connections to create quite a stir in the Japanese government and public.
Previously, the Black Dragon Society's main areas of activity were outside the Great Wall and Shanghai. Why did they send people to North China?
Just as Niu San'er was deep in thought, the head chef from the kitchen came to ask for instructions, "Director Niu, as per your arrangement, the menu has been adjusted a bit and is now ready. What time would you like to set for the New Year's Eve dinner?"
Niu San'er smiled habitually, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll ask Master Lin for permission and then tell you. Let's prepare according to the seven o'clock time."
Just then, the phone rang, and the head chef quickly stepped out.
Niu San'er answered the phone.
"Director Niu, this is Yu Xuecheng. I have an important matter to report to you. A rickshaw driver named Wen San'er just reported some important information..."
After listening, Niu San'er calmly said, "I understand, Captain Yu. Be on high alert, but don't alert them. Await Master Lin's orders."
After hanging up the phone, Niu San'er went to the study to find Lin Ze.
He genuinely wanted Lin Ze to rest, but he couldn't leave this unreported.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Come in!"
Lin Ze held a storybook, reading it with great interest.
What do you mean, "I just love you, my dear Bai..."? What do you mean, "starting a fire from across a mountain..."?
Seeing Niu San'er enter, Lin Ze put down his storybook. Judging from Niu San'er's expression, he knew something was wrong.
"what's up?"
"Sir, not long ago, the Beiping authorities reported that Moriyama Toshiki of the Black Dragon Society went to Beiping. I initially thought he was going to visit someone in the Army, but now it seems he's probably here for you. Wen San'er was drinking at Erhunpu today when he happened to run into two local thugs. They said that Moriyama Toshiki has arranged for a large number of ronin to cause trouble tomorrow, and has also hired many ruffians to show their support. They want to provoke a conflict with the Assistant Administration Bureau."
Lin Ze quickly realized what was going on.
The Black Dragon Society, those beasts, want to invade and enslave, and they resolutely refuse to allow Chinese people to hold high-ranking positions.
For example, they strongly opposed the Jinling Reform Office, believing that it should not be given so much power, but rather that the power should be placed in the hands of the highest advisor, following the Manchu model.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze suddenly asked, "Shibayama Kenshiro! Because of Li Shiqun's matter, Shibayama Kenshiro, although he did not fall from power, was severely affected and was recalled to Tokyo. What did Shibayama Kenshiro do after returning to Tokyo? Have Koji Daiki investigate immediately!"
Niu San'er wasn't as perceptive as Lin Ze, and it was only after hearing Lin Ze's words that he connected these things.
The Black Dragon Society certainly wouldn't want to cause trouble for no reason. Shibayama Kenshiro is aligned with them and might even be a secret member of the Black Dragon Society. Now that Shibayama Kenshiro has just run into trouble, the Black Dragon Society has sent people to Beiping to cause trouble. There must be something going on here.
Lin Ze was behind the scenes in Li Shiqun's affair, presumably because Okamura had arranged for Tanabe Kenji to be transferred to Hong Kong, which aroused Shibayama Kenjiro's suspicions. After extensive investigation, he suspected that Lin Ze was the one manipulating things behind the scenes.
This Chai Shan is truly exceptional!
"So, they want to create bloodshed, then stir up public opinion, and then collude with those extreme conservatives to force the cabinet and the military to come up with a way, even if they don't kill me directly, as long as they can remove me from my current position, or simply transfer me to the south, they can deal with me easily?"
Niu San'er said in a deep voice, "Master, now that we have the clues, should we strike first...?"
Lin Ze lit a cigarette, and after finishing it, he already had an idea in mind.
"They want to cause bloodshed, right? Then let them have their way. Kill everyone who dares to storm the auxiliary police station, leave no one alive. I want to see just how much power these people behind the Black Dragon Society really have!"
These people's methods might cause great harm to others, but in Lin Ze's opinion, they are still too low-level. They've been using the same old trick of going into the city to find soldiers for so long, it's time to change things up, isn't it?
Lin Ze wanted to show them what a master of labeling was!
