My Wife is a Counsel Chapter 1: The Phantom
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
There are three bridges across the Heijiang River in the five provinces of Jiangnan. One of them is a railway and highway bridge with a total length of 5.4 kilometers. The north of the bridge is Xin'an City, Nanping Road, Longbei Province, and the south of the bridge is Jiangning. Province Heishan City area.
Because the south of the bridge and the north of the bridge belong to different federations, Jiangning and Heishan belong to the Kingdom of Grifenni, and Longbei and Nanping Road belong to the four northern provinces, there are also border inspections similar to customs.
Because the bridge was built by the Kingdom of Grifenni, the border checkpoints on both sides are in Xin'an City, north of the bridge.
The south of Xin'an City Railway Station near the bridge belongs to the Kingdom area.
Everyone taking the highway bridge must be inspected here. Even railway passengers must get off the train here. After passing the Kingdom border inspection, they must board the train again, although it is the same train.
Thanks to this, Xin'an City is also the most prosperous city in Nanping Road, Longbei.
The small area from the southern end of Xin'an City Railway Station from the border inspection to the bridge belongs to the Kingdom, but it is a leased area for border inspection, and a certain fee needs to be paid to Longbei Province every year.
Although this area is small, it is the most prosperous area in Xin'an City. The buildings are obviously different. There is even a glass curtain building with more than ten floors standing on the bank of the Heijiang River, called "Sheer". "The Ford Building" was built by the steel king Shelver family. Imperial companies with business in the north, including some Japanese companies, are stationed here, and they use this place as a springboard for their headquarters.
In fact, there are more companies that are keen to invest in the four northern provinces than Griffinnian and Japanese companies.
The atmosphere in Xin'an City has become a bit strange recently. Martial law was suddenly implemented in the northern urban area.
In the southern concession area, an infantry company of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Black Mountain Brigade was stationed.
……
Linjiang Road in the Concession is full of Japanese-style buildings, and most of the residents are Japanese businessmen.
The Mei Mansion at No. 21 Linjiang Road seems to be just an ordinary place among these Japanese buildings.
But at this time, Lu Ming's desk was scattered with photos of Mei Mansion from various angles, as well as people who had recently come in and out of Mei Mansion.
This is a five-story building very close to Dongying Street on Linjiang Road.
Originally owned by the Yellow River Trading Company, it is now sold to the Intelligence Section of the Black Mountain Brigade Inspectorate.
The Intelligence Section has just been established, and the section chief is concurrently served by the gendarmerie captain Lu Gaoyi.
Standing on the fifth floor here, you can overlook the street scene of Dongying Street from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
The study room where Lu Ming is located is on the fifth floor of this building.
The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window were slightly opened, and Lu Ming stood in front of the window, looking at the cherry blossoms and the exotic style of the wooden house on Dongying Street in the distance.
Standing next to Lu Ming is Zhao Desheng. He is wearing an olive green officer uniform and stands upright.
Now he is the captain's staff officer in the intelligence department.
Once a person betrays his previous beliefs, it may lead to many unknown changes. Zhao Desheng is the kind of person who has his personality distorted. He grabs his former companions and shows no mercy. He became extremely cruel to his own people, more cruel and ruthless than anyone else.
In fact, Lu Ming is not disgusted with the concept of the "North-South Alliance for Peace and Co-Prosperity".
In general, it is a belief that the North and the South should integrate and jointly overthrow the imperial rule.
But the manipulator behind it is too complicated. He has the support of Gao Baoshan, the Jiangbei warlord, and even received secret funding from the Japanese.
From the list given by Zhao Desheng, arrests were made with lightning speed, and interrogations were carried out unexpectedly, and they followed the clues.
Unexpectedly, he caught an important figure in the organization who had a much higher status than Zhao Desheng.
He is an extremely famous squire in Jinkang County.
He confessed that the Mei Mansion at No. 21 Linjiang Road here was a Japanese intelligence organization that funded the "North-South Alliance" in various ways, including the training of armed personnel.
Of course, this squire did not know which Japanese power organization Mei Gongguan was, and he was not qualified to truly contact Mei Gongguan.
He just heard a few casual remarks from an important leader in the alliance who lived in the north of the Yangtze River and would not come to the south of the Yangtze River now.
Obviously, this organization has no sense of strict confidentiality and no relevant regulations, so such confidential matters can be used as discussion materials.
It involves the Japanese people, and based on the rich war history in his previous life that was full of various plots, Lu Ming also vaguely smelled the conspiracy.
Therefore, since the brigade headquarters had nothing to deal with at the moment, they simply came to the Xin'an Concession in person to supervise the matter.
Lu Gaoyi also personally took action and took charge of the investigation.
Looking at the people coming in and out of Mei Mansion in the past few days, I can't tell much.
"Desheng, do you still feel that the future of the organization you were in before, even if the concept is realized, is still as good as you imagined?" Lu Ming looked at the respectful Zhao Desheng beside him.
Zhao Desheng gritted his teeth, "It's all a lie, and many of my good brothers lost their lives because of it!" It seemed that he hated this organization no more.
There was a knock on the study door, and the black head came in with a fax in his hand.
Seeing that Lu Ming had no expression, Zhao Desheng stood at attention and said, "I have appointed you, I will resign from my humble position!"
Lu Ming nodded and took the fax from Heitou.
It was Chen Rongfu, director of the Nanping Security Bureau, who personally sent a message to the External Liaison Department of the Montenegro Military Control Commission. The words were polite, asking if the detained subordinates could be released? It is said that the misunderstanding is caused by the different customs between the North and the South. The trust between the North and South Offices should not be damaged over such a trivial matter.
This Chen Rongfu is a devil with **** hands. In Nanping, even the mention of his name makes children afraid to cry at night.
"Just call the Liaison Department and respond in official terms!" Lu Ming waved his hand and the black head nodded.
As soon as Hei Tou went out, there was a knock on the study door again, and Yu Luan went to open the door.
It was Lu Gaoyi who came, looking a little excited.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "What new clues were found?"
"Yes, yes, daddy is wise!" Lu Gaoyi opened the folder in his hand and handed it to Lu Ming.
Inside is a photo of a young Japanese man with hair that stands up like a warrior, a very typical Japanese attire for young people learning kendo.
"Oh? It's a photo of Asaba Nagamasa when he was young." Lu Ming smiled.
The owner of Mei Mansion is Asaba Nagamasa, an old man in his seventies, with a very mysterious origin.
I have seen a lot of photos of this old man from various angles recently. He is instantly recognizable because of the photos he took when he was young.
The papers under the photos in the folder are densely packed with records of Asaba Nagamasa's resume.
From school to business, the information is recorded in detail.
Nowadays, Asaba Nagamasa is the royal merchant of Kato Juju, the lord of Yaqi Road in Yingzhou Kingdom.
Baqi Road, Kato family?
Lu Ming frowned slightly. Kato Shoichi, who committed suicide by caesarean section out of fear of guilt, was a member of the Kato family. According to his seniority, he was the cousin of Kato Nineteen.
I thought about it and asked, "How did you find out this guy's identity?"
Although he is said to be Lord Kato's royal businessman, it is not necessarily true that he is helping Kato Jyuji by funding the "North-South Alliance", but at the very least, he has found some kind of breakthrough.
