Chapter 564 Nani
Everyone has their own troubles.
Wu Chunyang had a headache because of the task, while Hase Ryosuke did it for the money. As a smart man with a higher education, he naturally knew what it meant to leave a way out and three cunning rabbit holes.
Such a large amount of money earned from the Chinese and the intelligence alliance, if not properly arranged, can easily attract the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ supervision department, and investment must be diversified, otherwise the target will be too big.
For example, a secret account in a bank, gold bars hidden in a certain place, dark stocks of a business bank, etc. In this way, even if the Mole's identity is exposed, he can start over, but the problem lies in the last item.
He was lying on the bar of the nightclub, cursing in his drunken state: "Baga, the Zuo family is dead. Damn liars dare to cheat me of my hard-earned money."
As he spoke, Ryosuke Hase began to cry. All the trading firms he was optimistic about joined the Beilun Port to raise funds. Not to mention the expected dividends, not even a dime of the principal would be returned.
It’s not just him. This nightclub opened in the Japanese gathering area of Hongkou. There are more than a dozen people getting drunk at this time. They are all victims of this scam, which shows how big the impact of this incident is.
Many commercial organizations and overseas Chinese have been defrauded and lost their money. The Japanese embassy and consulates have submitted formal documents to the National Government, hoping that local police stations will help find the culprits - the Zuo family.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China attached great importance to the request after receiving it. President Wang of the Executive Yuan immediately issued important instructions, requiring the Secret Service to immediately launch an investigation. The victims and their families are currently emotionally stable.
Fart stability.
On the day the scam was exposed, more than a dozen people jumped off the Chinachem Hotel on the bank of the Huangpu River. The cleaning staff had no time to clean the floor, so they could only pull up the isolation tape and raise their heads to admire the trapeze artist.
Had it not been for the deposits and gold bars in the bank, Hase Ryosuke would have been one of them. After all, in order to prevent depreciation, the funds he invested in commercial banks accounted for more than half of all assets.
"idiot!"
“Mr. Hase, what’s wrong with you?”
Just when he started to curse again, a voice sounded softly next to him. Chang Gu, who was half drunk and half awake, was startled. He turned his head and looked at the person for a while, then asked in a low voice with his eyes widened.
"Why are you here? The customers here are all Japanese, and spies from the Intelligence Department often come here. If they see us meeting, I will be suspected. Please leave through the back door."
Even though the other party is the God of Wealth, compared with life, money can only be temporarily ranked second. In addition, there are many bags around Hongkou, so Hase Ryosuke is very nervous.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Hase. I’ve disguised myself so that no one familiar with me can tell. Besides, I’m also an imperial resident now. Hello, I’m Okamoto from Tokyo. Please take care of me.”
Zuo Zhong pushed up his glasses and answered in fluent standard Japanese. He placed an identity document on the bar, snapped his fingers at the bartender, and pointed to the whiskey on the wall.
Expatriates?
Hase Ryosuke opened the document and took a look at it in confusion. His pupils shrank suddenly. Why did this document seem to be genuine? Anyway, with his eyesight as an intelligence officer, he didn't see the problem.
Are the people in the Imperial Household Registration Department so wild? They dare to sell out anything. Household registration trading is a serious criminal offence. If the police find out, the whole family will have to go to Abashiri Prison to eat.
He looked around and asked in a low voice: "Where did you get this thing? Can you prepare a few copies for me? I want to build a few safe houses in the mainland and the Republic of China. Please, Okamoto-kun."
“We made this ourselves, the quality is pretty good, haha, no problem. Just give me the information and I’ll deliver the goods within three days. Please note that this thing can only be used to deceive people temporarily, but it won’t stand up to scrutiny.”
Zuo Zhong took the drink from the bartender, took a sip and warned him to prevent this guy from using a false identity unscrupulously to cause trouble. Without the underlying documents, it was easy to distinguish the true from the false.
As long as others send a telegram to Japan, the household registration system cannot find relevant records, and it is useless no matter how similar it is. But in Shanghai, it is enough to fool the street police.
“Yoshi.”
Hase Ryosuke knew the reason and carefully pushed the document back. His mind was running rapidly for a while, as if he thought of something good, and he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at Zuo Zhong.
“Okamoto-kun, I wonder if you are interested in doing a business with me. If it goes well, your Japanese identity will be more secure, and I can also make a lot of money, the best of both worlds.”
“Oh? Tell me carefully.”
Zuo Zhong became interested. For a spy, there is nothing more important than concealing his identity. For example, Fu Ling, who was performing auxiliary work on the canned project in Japan, needed a safe identity.
It is a pity that the Japanese household registration system is very strict. Apart from Li Daitaojiang, there is no other way to obtain real identity documents. The fake documents of the Secret Service have limited use cases.
Hase Ryosuke licked his lips and explained in detail: "As you know, because of the economic crisis in the West, many expatriates choose to come to Shanghai to make a living. There are operable points in this.
After these people arrived by boat, the first thing they did was to submit their identity documents to the Resident Militia Administrative Committee. The Resident Militia Administrative Committee went to the country for verification, and then handed them over to my Super High School Division for review.
Everything is fine. There are two copies of these documents. One is given to the overseas Chinese and the other is placed in the household registration office of the resident group. When we encounter cases that require identity investigation, we will come to retrieve them. "
Zuo Zhong took another sip of whiskey, feeling the collision of the mellow liquor in his mouth. He thought about what Chang Gu said. He seemed to want to do something fishy in the review process. After thinking about it for a long time, he shook his head slightly: "When the resident militia receives the identity documents, they will inevitably do preliminary registration. In a sense, this is the bottom line, so let's forget about it.
I will try to figure out the identity issue. Your safety is the most important. We cannot put you in danger for a few pieces of paper. Mr. Hase, we need to be cautious in our work and must not be careless. "
The Japanese are not fools. The purpose of handing over household registration management to two departments is to prevent someone from taking advantage of their position to engage in malpractice for personal gain. Once discovered, Changgu will be liquidated to ashes.
From the perspective of intelligence work, the gain outweighs the loss. It is better to think of other methods. It is really impossible to find a closed devil village to create a mudslide and steal the identity of the dead.
Hase Ryosuke, who was next to him, heard Zuo Zhong's words of concern. First he felt warm and moved, and then he became anxious. If he didn't open up new ways to make money, how could he recover the losses caused by Beilun Port.
So he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and said seriously: "It is the duty of Hase to help the Chinese people. There is nothing to be afraid of with a little risk. Please rest assured Mr. Okamoto, I will protect myself."
This guy must have taken fake medicine.
Zuo Zhong frowned when he heard this and looked at the other party suspiciously. Could it be that this was a well-hidden Japanese underground party? But he immediately threw this suspicion aside. How could there be such an underground party?
Thinking of the man's previous curses, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Chang Gu, I saw that you seemed a little depressed before. I don't know what happened. Please feel free to ask if you need anything.
The second generation ancestor who competes with you for the position of Deputy Minister of Intelligence will soon return to Tokyo in despair. Anyone who threatens your position is also our enemy, so don't be polite. "
"this."
Hase Ryosuke opened his mouth. The position of Deputy Minister of Intelligence is not important. Without the support of the Special Higher Education Course, it is just a superior puppet. The reason why he does not want to speak is simple.
A professional intelligence officer was deceived by a few rich locals. If the Chinese knew about this, would they think there was a problem with their abilities and reconsider the intelligence cooperation between the two parties?
Without the income from this channel, life will be even more difficult in the future. But thinking about the vast power of the Secret Service, Chang Gu is a little tempted, if he can catch those scammers through the other party.
Hesitating again and again, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and said: "Can you please Mr. Okamoto to help me find a few people? They have the same surname as you and they are big families in Ningbo, your country. I was deceived by these people.
As for the records of the resident militia, I will give you a copy. You can have someone forge it and give it to me. I will find a way to put it back. No one dares to doubt the loyalty of a special high-level section chief to the empire. "
Aha.
There is an unexpected gain in this matter.
Zuo Zhong squeezed the cup harder to hold back his laughter. No wonder Chang Gu was so obsessed with making money. It turned out that this person was one of the fools who had been deceived. I'm afraid he wanted to find a new way to regain his blood. It would be interesting.
Then should we hide this matter? As the saying goes, investment is risky and you need to be cautious when investing in shares. How can you call it a lie in business? One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Who allows them to be greedy?
The problem is that it is not easy to deceive an intelligence officer. As time goes by, the fact that someone in the Zuo family is working in Jinling cannot be concealed. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing at that time? It is better to talk openly and honestly.
He thought for a moment and said slowly: "I don't know how much money Mr. Hase was defrauded. If you need money urgently, I personally would like to support you. I can give you tens of thousands of dollars."
As for identity documents, we need to take a long-term approach and make sure that there is no risk to you through multiple assessments. Mr. Gu will contact you at that time and he will definitely not treat you badly in terms of price. "
“Okay, no need, thank you Okamoto-kun.”
Hase Ryosuke clasped his hands and thanked him, and then sighed: "About 50,000 yuan. At that time, Zuo's Beilun Port Terminal project was very popular in Shanghai, so I invested a little more money.
I even got to know him through the Hangzhou Consulate’s Special Higher Education Course. He was clearly a well-known businessman, well-known in the local area, with various industries running well, and an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan.
That’s why I took out so much money. Who knew it was a scam? When someone went to ask for the account, they found that all the land, shops, and businesses of the Zuo family had been sold out long ago. Baga, what a bastard. "
His little head was filled with great doubts. If a businessman didn't do business well, why would he lie to people? The only ones he deceived were Japanese and Chinese who had a good relationship with the Japanese.
“Ahem, Mr. Hase.”
Zuo Zhong glanced at him dissatisfied and said lightly: "My hometown is in Ningbo. Don't worry, I will find a way to help you recover the defrauded funds. You should not do business again in the future."
“Nani?”
Hase Ryosuke opened his mouth wide and was stunned.
