Chapter 1003 Why didn’t Editor Wen come?
Lin Ze did not go home that night and stayed at the Six Nations Hotel.
Angelina and the others were very happy now. Elena ran around like a butterfly, bringing all kinds of delicious food. Lin Ze chatted with them while eating, and the atmosphere was warm and comfortable.
In the second half of the night, several gunshots were heard downstairs of the Six Nations Hotel!
Lin Ze quickly got up, and Angelina also opened her eyes. She wasn't too nervous, but suggested, "Sir, this place has always had good security. Gunshots in the middle of the night are unusual. Why don't you hide in the next room until you understand what's going on?"
"It's okay. I guess Niu San'er will come to report later."
Sure enough, after a few minutes, Elena came in and said that Director Niu and Delmo were outside.
Lin Ze put on his clothes and walked out. There was no expression on Niu Saner's face, but Delmo was very anxious and looked restless.
"Master Lin, someone died at the door. Old Dai, please tell me about this person's situation."
Delmo nodded. "This man's name is Murakami Shinta. He came to Peking from Tokyo not long ago and has been staying at our hotel. He came here to handle business, so he often goes out for social events. The hotel car just picked him up, and suddenly several people rushed out from the door. They were very accurate shooters. After shooting Murakami Shinta, someone else stepped forward to shoot him again and then fled."
Niu Saner added, "Murakami Shinta is a representative of Yasuda Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. He's here to discuss raw materials. Actually, North China Development Co., Ltd. is also involved in this business."
Lin Ze frowned and asked, "Is he closely related to the Yasuda family?"
"Because he was going to contact the Huabei Development Corporation, I happened to have collected some information about him. Murakami's father was once a retainer of Yasuda Zenjiro, but Murakami Shinta was not a prominent figure in the Yasuda zaibatsu system. He was just a minor person in charge of the steel business."
Zenjiro Yasuda was a well-known wealthy man on the Japanese side. If Miyamoto was a new rich man who made a fortune from the war, then Yasuda was just making money.
Zenjiro Yasuda was originally a currency exchange merchant in Tokyo. Since the arrival of the black ships, trade in Tokyo Bay has flourished. Zenjiro Yasuda was quick-witted and quickly established his own bank.
As the business grew bigger, Yasuda Bank continued to increase its capital and expand its shares. As the financial business grew bigger, it was bound to be transformed into financial capital and enter the industrial field. Zenjiro Yasuda made the most important investment in his life and acquired a stake in Nissan Motor.
This not only allowed him to catch the fast track of development, but also established good relations with the military.
The Yasuda Bank is the predecessor of the later Fuji Bank. Well-known large companies such as Hitachi, Marubeni, Canon, and Seiko are all important components of the Yasuda zaibatsu.
Lin Ze was a little puzzled. It was very strange. It seemed that Murakami Shinta had some background, but it was not a very strong one. After all, no matter how powerful a chaebol was, he was just a younger brother in front of the military.
Why would someone kill him?
Why kill a businessman?
At this time, another assistant officer knocked on the door and reported, "People from the Military Police Headquarters are here."
Lin Ze simply changed his clothes and went downstairs. When he reached the hall, he saw Hua Gu loudly ordering the military police to protect the scene and search for any traces of the killer's escape.
"Hanatani-kun, it's so late, and you're still leading the team out in person."
Hua Gu saw Lin Ze here, and a hint of surprise and panic flashed in his eyes, "Mr. Lin, why are you here?"
"I had dinner and a few drinks at the Liuguo Hotel that night, so I decided to stay overnight. I didn't expect to run into something like this."
Lin Ze was now at the peak of his career, and was the person personally welcomed by the General. Hua Gu didn't dare to act rashly, so he lowered his posture and said, "Ha Yi, I'm so sorry to disturb your rest."
"No, it's just that the Six Nations Hotel is a key location in the inner city, surrounded by various institutions. As the commander of the military police, Hanaya-kun must solve the case as soon as possible. And the deceased..."
"Ha, the deceased's identity is indeed a bit troublesome, and we are bound to face some pressure."
Lin Ze glanced at Niu Saner beside him, said nothing more, said goodbye to Hua Guzheng, and went upstairs again.
When they got upstairs, Lin Ze lit a cigarette and asked Niu Saner, "What did you see?"
"Hanatani Masaru knew ahead of time that Murakami Shinta was going to die, so he stayed up late at night waiting at the headquarters and arrived here in person with his men so quickly."
"Then what is his purpose?"
Niu Saner shook his head. He couldn't guess that.
Lin Ze thought for a moment and ordered, "Send a telegram to Tokyo and have Xiao Jiang Daigui investigate the relationship between the Hanatani family and the Yasuda family. Murakami, as the external representative of the steel pipe company, often engages in raw material procurement work, and I'm afraid he has received a lot of money. His father was once a retainer of the Yasuda family. Could it be that the Yasuda family doesn't want to investigate Murakami directly, so they use the opportunity of sending him on a business trip to have him eliminated? But if this is the only reason, then Hanatani Zheng has no need to follow the merchant's orders. He must have a benefit in this matter, but I don't know if this benefit is financial reward or something else."
The next morning, Niu Saner brought back a telegram.
"Master, I'm from headquarters."
Lin Ze took it and took a look. It was talking about the Central Bureau of Investigation entering Tianjin and Beijing.
In a flash, an idea flashed through my mind.
Could it be that Hanatani is going to do something spooky again, trying to use a big move to catch some people?
Near the East Gate, there is the big wine vat in the West Province.
The place was still bustling with people, and Sister Yun was serving wine, serving dishes, and cursing people neatly and efficiently.
"Madam Boss, it's already this late today, why hasn't Mr. Wen come yet?"
"Haha, I guess the boss lady fed Mr. Wen something last night, and Mr. Wen was tired and didn't get up!"
Sister Yun cursed, "You've already drunk two ounces of yellow soup and you're still talking dirty here. If you want to drink, drink. If you don't want to drink, get out!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Hey, I saw so many more gendarmes on the street this morning. What happened?"
"You might not know this yet, but I heard someone died at the Six Nations Hotel last night!"
"Hey there! The Six Nations Hotel! Aren't those places frequented by dignitaries? No wonder the Japanese are so interested in it. Speaking of which, I once pulled a dancer while driving a cart. The plates, the strips, the way her little waist twisted, made my legs go weak!"
"We were just talking about the dead, what the hell were you talking about? Besides, how dare you think about that woman in the Six Nations Hotel? I think we should go to the White House and turn off the lights. It's all the same!"
Sister Yun was cutting pickled vegetables into shreds, but she was listening carefully to the drinkers talking about what happened in the Six Nations Hotel that night.
Why didn't the news editor come today?
