Chapter 562: Calmness is the only thing that makes people tremble with fear
As time goes by, the truth of the matter is almost revealed.
There are no coincidences in the world. When multiple factors point to one result, then this result is the real answer.
First of all, the establishment of the Asia Development Board was to unify the management of secret agencies in China.
At least that was the original intention of the cabinet, but in the process of operation, the Asia Development Board discovered a crazy way to make money.
Unlike previous intelligence agencies that were only responsible for one area, the several liaison departments of the Asia Development Institute were spread across almost all occupied areas.
In this way, unified management actually facilitates the transportation of opium.
Especially from Baixiang Kingdom to Shanghai, and then from Shanghai to the north.
This route has almost become the golden route for transporting opium.
The Asia Development Institute was responsible for liaison, the navy was responsible for transportation, the goods were landed in Tianjin, and then a key role appeared.
That is North China Transportation Corporation.
The North China Transportation Corporation has a monopoly on transportation resources, with countless offices, companies, and employees. Distributing opium is just like playing, isn't it?
Just like this, the military's enterprises, the cabinet's secret agencies, and the proud navy.
It is absolutely impossible that the three groups of people sitting at the same table formed a hidden interest group because of the crazy profits.
Did the North China Front Army know about the existence of this gang?
Lin Ze boldly guessed that when the North China Transportation Corporation got involved in this covert business, it did not even inform the North China Front Army. As for whether the military knew about it, that was hard to say.
And why did the fire happen at Nakahara Company just after Tajima left, and why did Yoshimura Yuta enthusiastically come to the station to pick him up in person?
Because North China Transportation Corporation made some adjustments during the distribution process!
For example, the Xingya Institute contacted Shanghai for 1,000 kilograms of opium. These 1,000 kilograms of opium could not be sold all at once, so 500 kilograms were sold first and the remaining 500 kilograms were kept in the warehouse.
The remaining 500 kilograms have not been sold yet, and new goods have been shipped from Shanghai.
This is like a pool, with water flowing in and out at the same time, and there is always water in the pool.
At this time, it would be difficult to be discovered if you scooped two buckets of water from the pond and sold them secretly!
As long as the balance of water inflow and outflow is not broken, this water stealing game can continue.
But an accident happened, no one expected that something would happen to Tajima at this time!
His departure brought about a chain reaction. For example, will the new resident minister of the Liaison Department conduct a comprehensive audit?
For example, would Osako Michimasa, who is rumored to be always powerful, take control of the sales channels of opium into his own hands to gain greater profits?
In short, the water inlet pipe is closed, but the water outlet pipe is still open, so the accounts cannot be balanced!
So a big fire came at the right time.
Why did Yoshimura Yuta show his kindness to Lin Ze?
In his opinion, Lin Ze was a member of the Secret Service. If he investigated the matter, the natural direction would be sabotage by the rebels.
Maybe Yoshimura Yuta has even arranged for the rebels!
During the investigation, he would even keep feeding clues to Lin Ze to help him solve the case as soon as possible.
In this way, the matter is settled.
Even if Osako Michimasa came at that time and wanted to reinvestigate or even overturn the case, Lin Ze would regard it as a provocation to him.
As long as the two of them fight, Yoshimura Yuta will be fine!
So, where will the opium that Yoshimura Yuta embezzled be sold?
Yuan Wenhui.
Lin Ze made a prompt decision, "Han Jianwu, you listen to Niu Saner's arrangements. I will clean up Yuan Wenhui's place in the next two days. Remember, money is not important, accounts are important, and witnesses are more important. Do you understand? If you do a good job this time, I will give you a way to get ashore. If you don't do a good job this time..."
Han Jianwu jumped up again, "Master Lin, if I can't do this well, I will bring my head to you!"
"If we don't do this job well this time, the Fish Pot Gang will disappear completely. Go!"
Just as Han Jianwu said, Yuan Wenhui owns more than 70 tobacco shops. If we expect the people from the Auxiliary Management Bureau to clean them up, it will take a long time.
As the saying goes, a gentleman's nature is not different from others, he is just good at making use of things.
It is necessary to integrate resources and leverage each other's strengths.
As for the upcoming Xie Quan and his self-defense group, that is their trump card and cannot be easily revealed.

North China Transportation Corporation, temporary office building.
In an office on the top floor, Yoshimura Yuta's face was gloomy.
Sitting opposite him was Wang Zhulin.
Wang Zhulin was quite sincere, "President Yoshimura, we are old friends. Tell me the truth, why is that Lin Ze holding on to you?"
Yoshimura Yuta was in a bad mood. "President Wang, what do you mean by this? How do I know why Lin Ze is holding on to me? It's really ridiculous. I received him with good intentions, but he checked my accounts. After checking, what happened next? My building was burned down, but he didn't catch the murderer, but instead made trouble here!"
Wang Zhulin sneered in his heart.
Little Yoshimura, you are no match for Director Lin!
The more you act like this, the more I think you have something to hide. I'll investigate further and then ask Director Lin for credit and reward.
"President Yoshimura, are you saying that after Lin Ze took the account book away, there has been no movement?"
When he asked this, Yoshimura was stunned.
Yeah, damn it, why is he quiet?
Sometimes, violent storms are not scary, but calm seas are terrifying.
Wang Zhulin continued, "That's not right. To be honest, I don't think Lin Ze is that patient. You see, he was annoyed that Mayor Pan didn't come to pick him up, so he turned around and confronted him. It was a big fight, and Yuan Wenhui got involved, and more than a dozen people were beaten to death. Why is he so quiet when he comes to you?"
When he heard the three words "Yuan Wenhui", Yoshimura Yuta opened his eyes wide.
no, I can not.
The incident was so secretive that the only person who might have betrayed him, the financial manager Chen Mingyuan, also died in the fire.
Unless Yuan Wenhui leaks the matter.
What a joke! He would rather die than tell anyone. If he really tells anyone, not only Lin Ze will not let him go, but the people from Xingya Academy will not let him go either!
Feeling uneasy, Yoshimura Yuta was in no mood to continue chatting, "Maybe he didn't notice anything, and he kept getting into conflicts with others, so he can't take care of me for the time being. President Wang, I'm really sorry, I have a headache..."
Wang Zhulin smiled and stood up. "I am sorry for bothering you, President Yoshimura. Please allow me to say one more thing. The North China Transportation Corporation and the Industrial Promotion Association are closely related. If there is any important matter, we must communicate with each other in time. I stand firmly on your side. An outsider like Lin Ze, haha, can't cause any trouble. Let him run rampant for a few days until Osako Michimasa arrives."
When Yoshimura heard the words "Osako Michimasa", his face became even worse!
Damn it, it’s all Lin Ze’s fault!
Why don’t you just investigate the case honestly?
However, President Wang's words still warmed Yoshimura Yuta's heart.
"Thank you, Wang Sang. I'll see you off."
After returning home, Wang Zhulin found a waiter.
This waiter had just arrived to work at Wang Zhulin's residence.
"Go tell Director Niu that Yoshimura is indeed problematic and it may be related to Yuan Wenhui. Also, although he had a conflict with Master Lin, he does not seem to welcome Osako Michimasa's arrival."
The waiter nodded, turned around and disappeared into the night.
