Chapter 263: Professor Assassinated
Chapter 263: Professor Assassinated
Yamaguchi Jianyi hurriedly smiled and said, "Really? Lin San, that's great! To be honest, I also had the opportunity to join the army before, but I still like to run my own business. Later, when I came to Manchuria, I continued to do business. Since Lin San is interested in business, we really get along well!"
Having said this, Yamaguchi Kenki hesitated to speak.
When Lin Ze saw him like this, he thought that the old man was quite concerned about his reputation. It was clearly him who asked others for help, but they still had to give him a way out.
"Mr. Yamaguchi, I had a great chat with your daughter. I am very grateful for your warm hospitality today. Just now, it seemed that you were worried about something. Although Mr. Yamaguchi has just arrived in Peking, you are on good terms with a great man like Mr. Kitahara. I am sure that you will not be troubled by your worries. However, if you do not want to trouble Mr. Kitahara, you may as well talk to me. If I can help, I will do my best."
When Yamaguchi Jianyi heard this, he was so moved that he almost wanted to become sworn brothers with Lin Ze.
The words are different from the words, but the meaning is the same. If Lin Ze said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me quickly. I'm doing well in Peking and I can definitely help you. Why are you being polite to me?"
Yamaguchi Jianyi still has to say what he should say, but he will definitely feel embarrassed.
But by saying it in this way, Lin Ze not only maintained Yamaguchi Jianyi's dignity, but also laid the groundwork for him, allowing him to make his request smoothly.
As for why Lin Ze didn’t directly invite Yamaguchi Jianyi to do business together, why did he have to let him say it himself?
In the final analysis, it is not a good deal to ask for help. You can appropriately maintain the dignity of the person making the request, but you cannot beg others to accept your help.
At the same time, Lin Ze also pointed out the relationship with Kitahara Ransuke. If Yamaguchi Kenki made money through Lin Ze, he would definitely thank Kitahara Ransuke. At that time, Kitahara Ransuke's impression of Lin Ze would be even better.
Winning hemp belongs to yes.
In the small room next door, Yamaguchi Ayaka, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, had her beautiful eyes flickering, and it was unknown what she was thinking. Lin Ze had already said this, and Yamaguchi Jianyi could no longer hide it.
"Mr. Lin, I'm still embarrassed to say this. Although I've been doing business for a long time, I really didn't make much money in Manchuria. This time I came to Peking to look for some opportunities. If Mr. Lin has a suitable opportunity, can you take me with you? Don't worry, I still have some equity!"
Lin Ze drank the cup of tea leisurely, and Yamaguchi Jianyi quickly refilled his cup himself.
"Oh, Mr. Yamaguchi, how can I trouble you to pour the tea yourself?"
"It's okay, no problem. You're welcome, Lin-san."
Lin Ze picked up the teacup and said, "Well, I have a friend who is the president of Miyamoto Trading Company. I will ask him when I go back. If there is a chance, I will definitely fight for you!"
In fact, Lin Ze had long planned to let Yamaguchi participate in the coal-saving stove business. This business can be big or small. Now Miyamoto is busy with military supplies every day. If he can't spare the time, wouldn't it be a waste of the drawings rewarded by the system?
If they could give Yamaguchi Kenki a small share and let him be responsible for managing the daily affairs of the coal-saving furnace factory, it would save both Lin Ze and Miyamoto a lot of trouble.
When Yamaguchi Jianyi saw Lin Ze expressed his opinion, he was extremely happy.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Ze stood up and said, "It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore!"
Yamaguchi Jianyi originally wanted to say, why not just rest at my place, but when he thought about the widow and two grown girls at home, it would be inappropriate anyway, so he had to hold it back.
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry for not hosting you well. Please come visit us more often in the future!"
Yamaguchi Matsue also came out to see her off, looking quite reluctant to leave.
Lin Ze smiled and said, "I'll take you to eat delicious food next time."
Yamaguchi Matsue then smiled widely, "Ha! I'll be waiting for Lin-kun~"
.......
The next morning, Lin Ze wanted to skip work and rest again, but unexpectedly, Kitahara Ransuke called and asked him to go to the headquarters.
Soon after, Lao Gao also called.
It looks like something has happened again.
"Director, it's me. What do you want me to do?"
"Shengmin, did Kitahara-taijun call you?"
"Yes, they asked me to go to the headquarters, but I don't know what happened."
Gao Shengping on the other end of the phone was very annoyed, "Damn it, Zhou Qiming was shot just an hour ago."
What the hell!
Zhou Qiming is a big shot with great influence, not because he is a high-ranking official, but because he is a man of culture.
That’s right, before the fall of Peiping and Tianjin, almost all the scholars and professors in Peking who could go south went south, and those who stayed behind had very complex backgrounds.
Zhou Qiming studied in Japan for several years and married a Japanese wife. He has always had problems with his tendencies. The south has always tried to persuade him to go south, but he has been reluctant to leave.
Although he does not hold any important position in Peking now, he is a professor at two universities and can be said to be a leader among Peking's cultural figures.
The Japanese attach as much importance to these intellectuals as they do to former military leaders like Wu Ziyu. Before, the Japanese attached so much importance to a character like Wu Sishu, let alone a famous scholar like Zhou Qiming.
"Is someone dead?"
Gao Shengping replied, "Fortunately, the man is not dead, otherwise Colonel Matsuzaki would be furious. Zhou Qiming is really lucky. The bullet hit the copper button of his coat, and then the gunman was tackled by two guards. It turned out that the gunman had an accomplice, and one of the two guards was killed and the other was injured. Now the gunman has escaped, Baliwan is blocked, and those people seem to have disappeared. We can't find them no matter what. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's meet at the headquarters."
Lin Ze’s first reaction was that maybe the Nanfangs were worried that Zhou Qiming had fallen into the water and sent people to kill him.
If you think about it carefully, the possibility is not very high. The headquarters should be very busy with their own intelligence at this time, and the Beiping Station is basically useless. Could it be that they sent a few people to Beiping just to kill Zhou Qiming?
Lin Ze put on his coat and asked Niu Saner to take him to the gendarmerie headquarters.
After arriving, he did not forget to remind Niu Saner, "Go make a few more coats for me, and make the buttons copper!"
Damn, this Zhou guy is so lucky that his bullet hit the copper button. What kind of probability is that?
When I arrived at Kitahara's office, I saw that he had a gloomy face.
There have been a lot of bad things happening one after another recently. I thought that after taking down the action team at the Beiping Station, things would be quiet for a while, but now Zhou Qiming was almost beaten to death.
Seeing Lin Ze coming in, Kitahara Ransuke's expression relaxed a little, "Lin-san, you're here."
"Kitahara-kun, what are your plans?"
"An hour ago, three young men went to Zhou Qiming's residence in Baliwan, claiming to be students from Tianjin. They wanted to discuss studying in Japan with Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou met with them, and the leader actually attacked with a gun. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou did not die, but was slightly injured. The two guards we sent to him, one died and the other was injured. The three attackers all escaped."
When Lin Ze heard this, he wondered why the guards reacted so quickly, it turned out that they were sent by the headquarters.
It seems that Zhou Qiming has a close relationship with the Japanese devils!
