Chapter 199 Framing the blame

After completing the whole process, $800,000 turned into 7% of the shares of Central China Oil Company.
Others would definitely not be happy to get only such a small number of shares in exchange for $800,000. After all, the registered capital and value of Huazhong Oil Company is only $3 million.
But He Shijie made it very clear that in the future the market value of this oil company will be at least over 30 million US dollars.
It is definitely China's leading oil manufacturing company.
The pie was drawn to be big, round and beautiful, and Zhou Yuanyi enjoyed it very much.
By this calculation, his investment of $800,000 is a sure win.
"Okay, Mr. Zhou," He Shijie handed the documents to Assistant Wu with satisfaction, asked him to lock them in the safe, and turned to Zhou Yuanyi and said, "The signing process has been completed. I will notify you if there is any follow-up news."
"If you have something to do, you can leave now,"
Zhou Yuanyi stood up and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. He. I will leave first. We will have dinner together when we have time."
He Shijie said with a smile: "Okay, okay,"
Zhou Yuanyi's figure slowly disappeared before his eyes. He Shijie's smile faded and he said in a deep voice, "Assistant Wu, send the information and these accounts to Master Jiu of Xiaotongqiao."
Assistant Wu was slightly startled and said, "Boss, isn't it being sent for filing?"
He Shijie frowned slightly: "Just go if I tell you to go, why are you talking so much nonsense."
After leaving the law firm, Zhou Yuanyi was in a good mood. It was a sunny day outside, and his mood was just like the weather, refreshing and beautiful.
After all these assets were dealt with, Liang Hongzhi and his men would have no way to do anything to him.
Having said that, Zhou Yuanyi was still a little worried that Liang Hongzhi would immediately turn against him if he knew that he had no money.
Well, he is the leader of the new government after all, so he shouldn’t be so greedy.
The streets of Shanghai are bustling with people coming and going.
Zhou Yuanyi was walking in the crowd with his mind wandering, and didn't notice at all that at this moment, a man in a black gown was walking towards him.
At first glance, this man looks no different from an ordinary pedestrian. He is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin.
He is the kind of ordinary person who cannot be found in a crowd.
But if one observes carefully, one will find that something is very wrong with him.
He gives people a very strange feeling.
There is clearly such a person, but you just can't see his full picture.
To put it in modern terms, this person's presence is very weak, and you won't even notice that such a person has ever appeared around you.
Zhou Yuanyi also didn't care about this person.
The two of them simply met, just a moment of passing by, the black-clothed man moved his right hand, and a slender blade instantly slipped from his sleeve to his palm...
"Puchi." The sound of the sharp blade piercing into the body was so faint that even Zhou Yuanyi almost didn't hear it.
However, he instinctively felt a sharp pain in his chest.
The killer was very professional. The human chest is covered with bones, but his thin blade could accurately pass through the gap of the sternum and reach the heart.
Obviously, this killer is very familiar with the location of human bones and organs....
"Relax, don't scream," the man in black said coldly, "Mr. Liang asked me to say hello to you."
Liang Hongzhi? Impossible. Zhou Yuanyi's eyes were shocked. He couldn't believe that Liang Hongzhi would actually send someone to kill him.
"In your next life, be smarter and don't take money so seriously. Money can't save your life." The killer sneered, quickly pulled out the thin blade, flashed, and disappeared into the crowd.
"Huff, huff." Zhou Yuanyi staggered and collapsed on the ground, breathing in big gulps of air.
The intense pain in his heart told him that this was not an illusion.
"Damn Liang Hongzhi, you will die a horrible death." Zhou Yuanyi cursed with his last bit of strength, his eyelids fluttered, and his body fell down.
When the patrol found Zhou Yuanyi's body, he was already dead.
A murder occurred in the French Concession, and the people who arrived at the scene were from the French Concession Police Station.
Inspector Zhou Mingqi of the police station quickly found documents proving the other party's identity from Zhou Yuanyi's briefcase.
When Zhou Mingqi saw the handwriting clearly, he was suddenly overwhelmed.
The financial commissioner of the new government in Nanjing is obviously related to the Japanese.
Therefore, Zhou Mingqi immediately notified the people from the Special High Section.
There was no way around it. In order to ensure commercial stability in the French Concession, the French Concession Municipal Council had already made concessions to the Japanese since the first half of the year.
The Japanese were allowed to arrest anti-Japanese elements in the French Concession.
After receiving Zhou Mingqi's call, Nagakino Tsuyoshi and Sakamoto Keigo also rushed to the scene quickly.
"It looks like a professional killer did it." Keigo Sakamoto quickly came to the conclusion after examining Zhou Yuanyi's body.
In fact, this is not difficult to infer. A single blow with a thin blade in public can kill the person.
Only a professional killer would have such strength and vision.
Moreover, the vendors and shop owners along the street did not notice any special person appearing. Obviously, this was a killer who was skilled in makeup, or even a secret agent.
However, Zhou Yuanyi's cry before his death was recorded by someone.
In the Special High Police, Genichirō Otani looked at the report submitted by Riki Nagakone with some displeasure.
Because, in the results of Changjiu Yeli's investigation, it was written that Zhou Yuanyi had visited Plum Blossom Tower when he came to Shanghai.
What's in the Plum Blossom Building?
Of course it was the person he didn't even want to mention.
"Can you determine the motive for the murder?" Otani Genichirō asked as he flipped through the report.
Changjiu Yeli pondered for a moment and said, "I have some clues. Someone heard Zhou Yuanyi shout before he died, 'Damn Liang Hongzhi, you will not die well.'"
"It seems to be related to the new government in Nanjing."
"I sent a telegram to the Jinling Special High Section, and they responded with some information about Zhou Yuanyi."
"This person left Shancheng more than half a month ago and joined the new government."
"It is said that he has a large amount of foreign exchange funds."
"According to the existing clues, it may be that Mr. Liang of the new government wanted him to donate the funds, but he did not want to take it out."
"It may be because of this that Mr. Liang was angered and brought about his own death."
"I don't think it's likely," Otani Genichirō said after closing his report. "An official from the Nanjing government died in Shanghai, or Nanjing sent assassins to silence him."
"Before dying, he deliberately revealed his identity as the mastermind. This logic is really unreasonable."
"Even if Liang Hongzhi is an idiot, he wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, he still has some use for the foreign exchange funds he has. If it were me, I would never kill him so easily."
"I suspect there is some ulterior motive."
Changjiu Yeli was stunned for a moment and said, "Section Chief, do we still need to continue investigating?"
"Transfer the case to the Iwai Office of the Consulate." Otani Genichirō said, "Just say that the new government's affairs are internal affairs of the Chinese Affairs Team, and the Special High Section is not convenient to intervene."
"Let Kuroda investigate it himself."
"Hi..."
