"dong dong dong"

"Come in!"

Wang Dabao pushed open the door and walked into the office.

"Director, You Shichang confessed that he was indeed reselling rice with Liu Changhe. According to him, Liu Changhe secretly kidnapped his concubine and only son to coerce him into doing this!"

"The specific method was for people from the Grain Bureau to purchase rice from landlords and farmers in various counties, townships, and villages. In order to speed up the rice purchase process, they also appropriately increased the purchase price!"

"The rice that was purchased was not directly stored in the grain depot under the grain bureau, but was transported to a secret warehouse at 233 Linhua Road in the west of the city. Then, an equal amount of miscellaneous grains were transported into the grain depot. This is how the grain purchase task was completed!"

"For the past two weeks, they have been dealing with rice in this way. Each time they hand over a small amount of rice to the Japanese military logistics department, most of it is coarse grains!"

"Legally speaking, You Shichang and Liu Changhe did not commit any crime. Throughout the process, they did not take advantage of the Grain Bureau. They merely used the Grain Bureau's name to purchase rice from landlords and farmers, and the money for the rice purchases did not go through the Grain Bureau's accounts."

After hearing this, Li Qun asked, "So, they don't have any problems?"

"Well... you could say that they didn't do anything wrong, not even embezzlement!"

Li Qun raised his chin: "Go tell Tamura Takasuke this and see if he'll be satisfied with your investigation results! The problem now is that the Japanese troops at the front lines don't have rice to eat and are eating coarse grains every day. They're all very resentful, and this has angered the Japanese commander, which is why he ordered us to launch an investigation!"

"You've given me this conclusion, how am I supposed to explain it to Takasuke Tamura?"

Wang Dabao asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Qun lit a cigarette, the smoke swirling between his fingers, and said, "These past two days I've had people investigate Liu Changhe's life and past. Given his background and personality, Liu Changhe shouldn't have done something like kidnapping You Shichang's wife and children to force him to cooperate in reselling rice. Yet it happened. I have a feeling something's up!"

"Wang Dabao, from now on you don't need to do anything. Go and investigate Liu Changhe with all your might!"

"Yes, Director!"

Two days later, a spy reported to Wang Dabao: "Captain, do you remember that a while ago a young master shot and killed a Japanese manager at the theater because of a jealous fight over a woman?"

“I remember, everyone in Shanghai knows about this. The newspapers have been reporting on it for days. A few days ago, the newspapers even reported that the French Concession Court had sentenced this young master to death and executed him on the spot! Didn’t I ask you to investigate Liu Changhe’s family members? Why are you bringing this up?” Wang Dabao asked in confusion.

The agent asked again, "Do you know who the young master who shot and killed the Japanese manager is?"

"I think her surname is Liu, but I forgot what her given name is. No, why do you keep bringing this up?" Wang Dabao was quite annoyed.

The agent said, "This young master is Liu Changhe's son, and his only son! The newspapers reported that he had been executed, but my investigation revealed that Liu Changhe's son is not dead at all!"

"What? He's not dead? The French Concession court sentenced him to death by firing squad on the spot. How could he not be dead? He killed the Japanese manager. Even the French don't dare to offend the Japanese now. They dare to outwardly comply with the Japanese while inwardly defying them. It's impossible, isn't it?" Wang Dabao was somewhat incredulous.

"It's true, I swear to God! Liu Changhe's son is really not dead. I heard it from a servant in the Liu family himself. He was secretly sent away by Liu Changhe!"

"At first, I went to investigate Liu Changhe's family members. I overheard the neighbors of the Liu family chatting and found out that the young master who killed the Japanese manager was actually Liu Changhe's son. Later, I followed two servants of the Liu family. While they were drinking tea in a teahouse, they whispered about how Liu Changhe's son was still alive. I heard that someone with a powerful background had pulled strings and that the bailiff who was carrying out the execution deliberately shot the wrong way, avoiding vital organs. The forensic doctor who examined the body was also bribed. They successfully deceived everyone at the execution site, including the Japanese officer who was watching the execution!"

After listening to his subordinate's report, Wang Dabao frowned: "Something's not right. Liu Changhe couldn't possibly have such great abilities and such ruthless methods. This is a case involving the life of a Japanese manager. Even the French police chief probably wouldn't dare to fabricate anything. Liu Changhe definitely doesn't have that much power!"

The agent nodded: "That's what I think too. It is indeed quite suspicious!"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Dabao said, "Continue the investigation!"

"By the way, what's the price of rice on the market today? Has it gone down or up?" Wang Dabao asked again.

"The price has gone up! It's increased by another dollar per bushel!"

"So, the amount of rice being shipped in the market hasn't increased? Liu Changhe hasn't sold off his stockpiled rice? Otherwise, the price of rice wouldn't keep rising!" Wang Dabao said.

"Yes!"

Wang Dabao asked again, "Have you found the location of Liu Changhe's secret warehouse where he hoarded rice?"

"Not yet, but I've already prepared more than a dozen people to hide around the Liu residence. As soon as someone leaves the Liu residence, someone will immediately follow and keep an eye on them. We should be able to find the location of that secret warehouse soon!"

"Captain, I think we should report to the director and request that You Shichang and Chang Hui be released first?"

"Oh? Release You Shichang and Chang Hui? Why? These two have committed serious crimes. If we release them, how will we explain it to the Special Higher Police? Besides, no one who has entered the Special Higher Police has ever left unscathed," Wang Dabao asked doubtfully.

The underling said, "Captain, the current situation is that now that we've arrested You Shichang and Chang Hui, no one will continue to deal in rice with Liu Changhe. It's impossible for us to continue investigating Liu Changhe's secret grain storage location and his true intentions, because we can't find any clues about him. Only by letting You Shichang and Chang Hui continue to transport grain to him can we find any clues about him!"

After hearing this, Wang Dabao slapped his forehead: "How could I have forgotten about this? Come on, let's go see the director!"

After meeting Li Qun, Wang Dabao requested that You Shichang and Chang Hui be released first, and that they cooperate with him to find out the location of Liu Changhe's secret warehouse where he was hoarding rice before their release.

After consideration, Li Qun agreed to Wang Dabao's request. Wang Dabao immediately went to the prison and threatened You Shichang and Chang Hui, telling them to continue buying rice in the name of the Grain Bureau and reselling it to You Shichang after they were released.

The time between You Shichang and Chang Hui's arrest and release was too short. Although their cooperation and transactions with Liu Changhe were interrupted for two days, and Liu Changhe had become suspicious, he had no choice but to continue cooperating with You Changhe in order to complete the task of purchasing 100 million shi of rice.

That night, after tracking and surveillance, the people from No. 76 finally found Liu Changhe's secret warehouse.

"Something's not right. Another group of people has appeared and is taking rice away from Liu Changhe's warehouse. Where did this rice end up? Wang Dabao, send someone to follow that group!" After observing, Li Qun noticed something was amiss.
