You were asked to keep a low profile and lie low, so you became the chief of a special high-tech dep

"CEO Evan, we can't let them go up! We can't!"

When Johnson saw that the truth was about to be exposed, he shouted desperately.

Ichiro Sato, Ryosuke Hihara, Asahi Tokita, and Keiko Tanaka saw this and felt relieved. It seemed that they had already won the first game today.

As long as evidence is found, the bargaining chips for the next negotiations will fall into the hands of the Empire of Japan.

Director Evan was secretly angry at Inspector Taylor and Johnson. They couldn't even handle such a small matter. How much evidence did they have? Why didn't they transfer it? They were discovered by the Special High Section. Idiot!

What a negative impact this will bring to the International Settlement!

But at this point, we can only talk and walk. We can't just stop the Japanese from searching like Johnson did, right?

If that happens, it will easily intensify the conflict, which will not be a good thing for the public concession.

If a real fight breaks out, the International Settlement will definitely be completely blacklisted.

As for waiting for the government and the Japanese to fall out over this matter and then going to war with the Japanese, is it possible?

They also want to gain benefits and make more money from the war between Japan and China, so they will definitely take the initiative to compromise with the Japanese.

Thinking this way, Director Evan had basically come up with an idea. At most, he could agree to some of the Japanese's demands, and then everything would be solved. Why would he have to fight to the death?

Kudo Ichi was the first to climb onto the big wooden box of opium. He casually took out a brand new Browning pistol from the box and waved it towards Jiang Yifan, Sato Ichiro and others.

Seeing this scene, Ichiro Sato, Asahi Tokita, Keiko Tanaka, and Ryosuke Hihara were all overjoyed!

We won this round!

Li Qun was jealous! Shimahashi Shinichi was having it so easy. He was very curious about how he found these things.

When General Manager Evan saw it, he was immediately furious and asked, "Mr. Johnson, what's the matter with this pistol? Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?"

Johnson knew that since he had been discovered, there was no point in hiding it any longer, so he could only tell the truth:

"Reporting to President Evan, I shouldn't have concealed this matter from the beginning. In addition to running the opium business, I also run an arms business. But I don't know how the guns and ammunition I bought appeared in the office of Zhang Jizhong, who bought my opium. I was afraid of being implicated, so I deliberately concealed the fact that I was running an arms business. But I swear to God, I definitely didn't sell guns and ammunition to Zhang Jizhong, and I don't know what the note in the box is about."

Upon hearing this, General Manager Evan gnashed his teeth in hatred towards Taylor Quincy and Johnson, and ordered:

"Come here! Arrest Johnson, take him to jail, and interrogate him strictly."

"Wait! Director Evan, since the case of Johnson colluding with Chinese agents to murder high-ranking officials of the Empire of Japan has been established, Johnson should be tried by us Japanese ourselves, so we must take Johnson away."

Keiko Tanaka looked at President Evan and directly put forward Japan's request.

"Not only that, we must also confiscate all the guns and ammunition here!"

Sato Ichiro asked even more aggressively.

When Jiang Yifan heard this, he knew it was not a good thing.

If the Japanese take them away, they will definitely attack the Chinese. If that is the case, it would be better to leave them in the hands of the British.

Therefore, Jiang Yifan decided not to tell the Japanese that there were guns and ammunition in the other warehouse.

The two sides started another fierce argument over this.

In the end, it was Tokita Chaoyang who proposed that both parties jointly try the case. The ownership of the guns and ammunition in Johnson's warehouse would be decided after the full facts of the case were revealed.

Director Evan had no choice but to back down and agree.

The two sides had another heated debate on the issue of whether the Japanese must participate in the management of the public concession.

As the Japanese army pressed forward, Johnson's gun and ammunition case was completely passive. Finally, after many negotiations, the following conditions were finally reached:

1. The highest leadership body of the International Settlement, the Public Affairs Bureau, gave up a director position to the Japanese.

2. The Public Concession Police Station must appoint a Japanese as deputy chief.

3. Each grassroots police station must be equipped with a Japanese detective and four Japanese patrolmen.

4. The Johnson case was jointly guarded and tried by the Japanese Special High Police and the Patrol Police.

5. Both parties shall be responsible for the aftermath of the casualties on their respective sides.

After reaching an agreement, Chief Adams set aside a room in the International Settlement Police Building to detain and try Johnson.

After both sides sent two people to guard the place, the Japanese were satisfied and withdrew from the International Settlement.

Back at the gendarmerie headquarters, Ichiro Sato, Asahi Tokita, Ryosuke Hihara, and Keiko Tanaka were all delighted and happy, as if they had just won a great victory.

When the news reached the mainland, calls came in from all sides to express congratulations, especially to Shinichi Shimahashi, who received high praise.

This made the group of people even more excited and carried away with pride.

Li Qun, however, focused on the two positions of director and deputy chief landlord that had just been assigned to the Japanese in the International Settlement.

With these two positions, one could make money and crack down on Chinese agents in the International Settlement, both of which were lucrative jobs that one could never dream of getting.

Being very calculating, he asked tentatively:

"Commander Sato, since the International Settlement has already given us a director position and a deputy chief housing officer position, why not finalize the list now while everyone is gathered and hand it over to the International Settlement Public Affairs Bureau!"

When Hihara Ryosuke heard this, he also said happily: "I was so happy that I forgot about the important matter."

Upon hearing this, Tokita Chaoyang immediately replied: "I nominate, and Shimabashi Shinichi will take up both positions, which will be conducive to the coordination and development of the work."

When Sato Ichiro heard this, he immediately agreed:

"That's a good idea. The position of director is just a nominal one. We just have the right to know when important decisions are made. I think the most important thing is the position of deputy chief housing officer. It plays an extremely important role in our fight against Chinese agents in the International Settlement."

"I agree too! Considering Shinichi Shimahashi's work ability and recent work performance, I believe Shinichi Shimahashi will definitely bring us more surprises!"

Hihara Ryosuke also agreed.

Seeing that everyone agreed with Shimahashi Shinichi to be the director of the International Settlement and the deputy chief, Tanaka Keiko was very happy. That was equivalent to her position in the International Settlement. There was no reason to disagree, so she also said:

"Captain Daoqiao, there is absolutely no problem in being qualified for this position, and he deserves it. Because, without Captain Daoqiao's discovery, we would never have achieved everything we have now."

Li Qun heard this and felt very sad. Alas! God is so unfair! If Li Qun was born, why was Zhenyi born?
