Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 233 Intelligence Broker
After hearing the reports from her subordinates, Rie Koizumi's face turned dark. She didn't expect that she found nothing.

She simply didn't believe that someone could transport a dozen large boxes quietly in a heavily guarded warehouse. In fact, other people in the higher education class had the same idea as her, but the fact that they found out was that there were no clues.

At this time, Koizumi Rie began to believe what Nishiro Suke said. There must be something wrong with Shinya Nagata or the other guards, otherwise such an outrageous thing would not have happened.

Then Koizumi Rie ordered people to bring all the guards of the warehouse back to the special high school. She wanted to interrogate them one by one. Moreover, even if they did not guard and steal, each of them had an unshirkable responsibility for the loss of such a large amount of property.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, Yang Xuewu woke up in his old house. After waking up and washing his face, Yang Xuewu came to the basement again.

Looking at the sixteen boxes of property in the basement, Yang Xuewu was wondering how to deal with them. Yang Xuewu would definitely deal with the gold and jewelry by himself. What made him embarrassed were the antiques.

Although antiques are very valuable in the future, they are not like gold, silver and jewelry that can be left at will. Things such as calligraphy, paintings, and ancient books must be properly kept, otherwise they will be damaged due to moisture and other reasons.

After finally getting these things, Yang Xuewu didn't want to destroy the things that his ancestors had finally passed down because of his own reasons.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Xuewu couldn't figure out how to be ugly, so he could only put these things in the basement temporarily until he could think of a way to deal with them later.

After getting the antiques looted by the Japanese, Yang Xuewu was ready to take action against these antique dealers.

Yang Xuewu, an ordinary antique dealer, wanted to leave it to Xiaohui and the others, but Lu Qingzhai, a cultural relic thief, Yang Xuewu had to deal with himself.

As a wealthy man in Shanghai, Lu Qingzhai was naturally protected by bodyguards, but his bodyguard Yang Xuewu didn't like him at all. That afternoon, Yang Xuewu quietly followed Lu Qingzhai, and followed him to Lu Qingzhai in the evening. Near home.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, when there was no one around, Yang Xuewu sneaked into the Lu Mansion quietly and quickly eliminated Lu Qingzhai's bodyguards. Lu Qingzhai's family members were all abroad, so at this moment, apart from the bodyguards, only Lu was left in the Lu Mansion. Qing Zhai is alone.

Yang Xuewu then went to Lu Qingzhai's study. At this time, Lu Qingzhai was not sleeping, but studying a painting by Shi Tao he received today.

Shi Tao, a famous painter in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, with the common surname Zhu and alias Shi Tao, was the son of Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang in the Ming Dynasty. He became a monk when the Ming Dynasty died. Together with Hongren, Kun Can and Zhu Da, he was known as the "Four Monks in the Late Ming Dynasty" and founded the Qing Dynasty. The pioneer of flower and bird painting, his flower and bird paintings are extremely valuable.

Lu Qingzhai was very happy to get a flower-and-bird painting by Shi Tao today, so he has been studying it in the study after dinner.

Suddenly Lu Qingzhai heard footsteps coming from the door, which made him a little unhappy. He didn't like to be disturbed when he was studying paintings.

"Who is it? If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Don't disturb me now." Lu Qingzhai shouted out impatiently.

"I'm afraid we can't tell tomorrow." Yang Xuewu pushed open the door of Lu Qingzhai's study and walked in.

Lu Qingzhai was stunned when he saw Yang Xuewu. He thought it was his bodyguard who came in, but he didn't expect that it was a stranger who came in.

"Who are you?" Lu Qingzhai asked, staring at Yang Xuewu.

"What do you think?" Yang Xuewu took out a cigarette from his cigarette case, lit it, and looked at Lu Qingzhai quietly.

Lu Qingzhai was quite capable. Even if a stranger appeared in his room at night, it would only make him slightly panicked, but he would soon calm down.

"Young man, tell me, how much money do you want? I can give it to you, please don't hurt me." Lu Qingzhai is a businessman. He feels that Yang Xuewu sneaked into his house late at night to ask for money, so he wants to avoid losing money. disaster.

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu took a puff of cigarette and said, "Mr. Lu, you guessed wrong. I'm not here to ask for money tonight."

"Why is that? It can't be to kill me, an old man, right?" Lu Qingzhai was born in 1880 and is now 59 years old. He can indeed call himself an old man.

"Mr. Lu's guess is correct. I'm here to take your head tonight."

Hearing this, Lu Qingzhai looked at Yang Xuewu in disbelief. He did not expect that Yang Xuewu really came to kill him.

"Young man, I haven't offended you, have I? Or did someone ask you to kill me?" Lu Qingzhai asked.

If these were Japanese traitors, Yang Xuewu would have sent them away with a single blow, why would he talk so much nonsense to them.

But Lu Qingzhai was different. He did not belong to the two. He did not treason and become a traitor, so Yang Xuewu was willing to let him die.

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu shook his head and said, "No, I killed you because you did something you shouldn't have done."

"What did I do that I shouldn't have done?" Lu Qingzhai asked.

"You sold many of the country's precious cultural relics out of the country." Yang Xuewu replied coldly.

Hearing this, Lu Qingzhai was even more unbelievable. He did not expect that Yang Xuewu would kill him for this reason.

"Young man, don't you believe those random reports in the newspapers? Although it seems that I sold the cultural relics out of the country, in fact I am protecting those cultural relics. If those cultural relics are in the country, they will be snatched away by the Japanese. , or it will be destroyed in the war."

"Besides, there are so many cultural relic dealers selling cultural relics abroad, why do you want to kill me?"

"Mr. Lu, your reasons are really high-sounding. Before I came to kill you, I investigated you carefully. Although you donated some money to the national war, the money was not even one thousandth of the money you earned. All the remaining money is used by you to enjoy a luxurious life. To tell the truth, you sell cultural relics abroad to make money, not to protect cultural relics. "

"As for why I killed you, the reason is very simple, because you sell the most things abroad, and I can also tell you that not only you are going to die, but I will not let go of other cultural relic traffickers who sell cultural relics abroad."

After finishing speaking, Yang Xuewu pulled out the knife from his waist and looked at Lu Qingzhai with an indifferent expression.

Seeing the knife in Yang Xuewu's hand, Lu Qingzhai finally panicked.

"Young man, don't be impulsive. I can give you money. I can give you a lot of money. Please don't kill me." Lu Qingzhai spread his hands and begged for mercy.

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu smiled and said, "Idiot, if I kill you, your money will be mine too."

Lu Qingzhai was stunned. He didn't expect Yang Xuewu to say that. He watched Yang Xuewu gradually approaching him with a knife. Lu Qingzhai suddenly threatened, "Young man, do you know who is standing behind me? Even if you kill me, you won't survive!"

"Hahaha, Lu Qingzhai, even if the chairman of the committee is standing behind you, I will kill you if I want to. Besides, there is only Zhang Jingjiang behind you."

Hearing this, Lu Qingzhai's eyes widened. He didn't expect this young man to be so bold, but before he could speak again, the knife in Yang Xuewu's hand had already stabbed into his heart.

Lu Qingzhai quickly lost his breath, which made Lu Qingzhai understand clearly. Yang Xuewu was also an exception.

After killing Lu Qingzhai, Yang Xuewu quickly started searching Lu Qingzhai's study. There were many antiques and books in Lu Qingzhai's study. Yang Xuewu put them all into the system space, and would detail them after he returned. tidy.

In the next two hours, Yang Xuewu searched Lu's house inside and out, and finally found only 100,000 US dollars and 100 gold bars in the safe.

Yang Xuewu knew that Lu Qingzhai's wealth was more than that. Over the years, Lu Qingzhai had resold domestic cultural relics and made profits of at least one million US dollars. However, Yang Xuewu was satisfied with these gains.

What he wanted to kill was Lu Qingzhai, not for his wealth. Besides, Yang Xuewu would also use the wealth to fight against Japan, not to squander it on himself.

As for how to deal with Lu Qingzhai's property, Yang Xuewu also had an idea. He could make him believe that there was only one person who spent the money on the anti-Japanese war, and that was Xie Yuan, whom he had rescued.

If he saw Xie Yuan again in the future, Yang Xuewu would give the money to Xie Yuan and ask him to use it to fight against Japan. Others Yang Xuewu did not believe it.

In the next few days, dozens of cultural relic dealers in Shanghai were killed one after another. Later, a saying spread in the world: "Those who resell cultural relics will die." Other cultural relic dealers in Shanghai were shocked and did not dare to resell cultural relics in Shanghai again. They don't want to be killed.

Since then, the antique market in Shanghai has fallen into a downturn. Some people have switched to other businesses, while others have left Shanghai and continued to resell cultural relics in other places.

It is impossible to ban this kind of thing, but through this operation, Yang Xuewu severely shocked a group of people who were engaged in reselling cultural relics. It became increasingly difficult for the Japanese to search for Chinese cultural relics. After all, they wanted to search and plunder cultural relics. , we must find a solution from the cultural relic dealers. Now that there are no cultural relic dealers, they don't even know that those people have antiques in their hands, so how can they search and rob them.

Of course, Yang Xuewu did not forget Xi Liangsuke. He followed these cultural relic dealers to hell to meet the Lord of Hell.

After dealing with these people, something happened that made Yang Xuewu helpless. That is, the cultural relics in his hands have now filled the basement of the old house. He must quickly find someone to protect the cultural relics such as calligraphy and painting, otherwise it will cause damage to these cultural relics.

After Chu Xin introduced him, Yang Xuewu met a treasure appraiser named Zhang Zimeng. This Zhang Zimeng used to open an antique shop. After the Japanese entered Shanghai, a traitor took a fancy to his antique shop and wanted Zhang Zimeng to The antique shop was sold to him at a low price, but Zhang Zimeng refused to comply. In the end, he was framed by the traitors as an anti-Japanese element and was imprisoned by the Japanese. Later, his family members spent all their money to save him, and he finally saved his life.

After being released from prison, Zhang Zimeng's life fell into trouble. After Chu Xin introduced him, Yang Xuewu investigated and found that he had good moral character and regarded every antique as a treasure.

After meeting this man, Yang Xuewu asked him to live in the old house with his family and help him take care of the antiques in his hands. Moreover, Yang Xuewu also helped him kill the traitor who had framed him, making Zhang Zimeng devoted himself to him. Work.

That day, the eldest brother sent a telegram asking Yang Xuewu to go to the public concession, saying that James was in some trouble and wanted Yang Xuewu to help solve it.

Yang Xuewu thought he was going there to help James solve his troubles, but who knew that he would inadvertently open another door for him.

After meeting James, James told Yang Xuewu about the troubles he encountered. His troubles were neither big nor small.

James made a lot of money selling sulfonamides in the concession. This lucrative business soon attracted the covetousness of others. As for foreigners, James could settle with US dollars, but it was not only foreigners who coveted this business, but also Chinese. Among the Chinese people, the Youth Gang is the biggest coveterer.

Although the Qing Gang did not dare to openly deal with James, a foreigner, they were local gangsters after all, and they made trouble from time to time, which was enough to make James uncomfortable.

"James, do you know the name of the member of the Youth Gang who caused trouble for you?"

"I know, it seems his name is Li Gang, he is the eldest brother of the Qing Gang who has the word "Jue"."

Hearing the name "Li Gang", Yang Xuewu felt inexplicably familiar. After thinking for a while, Yang Xuewu remembered that when he first came to Shanghai and formulated a plan to eliminate the members of the Qing Gang, Zhang Xiaolin was successfully assassinated by him. "Li Gang" This name once appeared on the list compiled by Tang Shuai and others.

At that time, Yang Xuewu was responsible for assassinating Zhang Xiaolin, and Yang Xuewu left the other people on the list to Tang Shuai and the others. However, they only succeeded in assassinating three people at that time, and the remaining people on the list did not continue to assassinate. Li Gang was among them. fish.

I didn't expect that this Li Gang would come to my door now. This is really a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you have to go through it.

"James, leave this Li Gang to me. He won't show up again after today."

Hearing Yang Xuewu's words, James' pupils shrank, and he obviously realized what Yang Xuewu meant.

"Okay, I see."

Just when Yang Xuewu was about to leave, an American suddenly came to see James. The two chatted for a few words, and the American left.

During this period, the American glanced at Yang Xuewu, and it was this look that made Yang Xuewu feel as if he had met someone of the same kind.

"James, was that your friend just now?" Yang Xuewu asked tentatively.

Hearing this, James smiled and said, "Mike is not my friend, he is an intelligence broker."

"Intelligence broker?" Yang Xuewu asked doubtfully.

"Yes, you may not understand. The so-called intelligence broker is a person who makes money by buying and selling intelligence."

"I need Mike's help with some business information. Today he is here to give me information." James smiled.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Yang Xuewu immediately became interested in Mike. As an agent, he was naturally interested in intelligence.

He decided that after finishing dealing with Li Gang, he would check on this intelligence broker named Mike. Maybe this could open another intelligence network for him.

The intelligence about the Qinggang investigation was still in the hands of Yang Xuewu. He went home to find out the information from the space, determined Li Gang's residence, and launched an operation that night. It was effortless for Yang Xuewu to deal with a gangster like Li Gang. That night he also went to hell to meet the Lord of Hell.

The next morning, Yang Xuewu went to the public concession to meet James and told him that Li Gang had been solved. In fact, he was not telling James that Li Gang had been solved this time, but he wanted to find the intelligence broker Mike through him.
