Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 385 Hongji Charity Hall

Not long after, Yang Xuewu heard conversation coming from the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy.

"Oikawa-kun, this is Satomi-kun. He is the God of Wealth of our Asia Development Institute's Central China Liaison Department." Tsuda Jingzhi introduced with a smile.

"Satomi-kun, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Oikawahara Nana."

"Hello, Oikawa-kun. I have also heard of your great name for a long time."

After a conversation between the three people, Yang Xuewu finally understood who this "Satomi-kun" was.

This "Satomi-kun" turned out to be the manager of the Shanghai Hongji Charity Hall.

Although the word "Shan Tang" is included in the name of Hongji Shan Tang, this place is by no means a charity hall, but a poison den that preys on its victims.

Hongji Charity Hall carried out its activities under the banner of "quit smoking". There was a Hongji Charity Hall in almost every city controlled by the Japanese. Although Hongji Charity Hall was a "quit smoking hall" on the surface, it was actually an opium den, a place for selling and smoking opium.

In the occupied areas, Hongji Charity Hall, casinos and brothels together shouldered a special mission. It was not only a very considerable source of financial support for the Japanese invasion of China, but also an important means for the invaders to corrupt the Chinese people and undermine their fighting spirit.

When Yang Xuewu checked the friend recommended to him by Xiaohui, he saw that he had been to Hongji Charity Hall to smoke opium. It was because of seeing his friend smoking opium that Yang Xuewu did not recruit Xiaohui's friend into the Anti-Japanese and Anti-Traitor Group.

The reason why Yang Xuewu did not take action against Hongji Charity Hall at that time was because he felt that there were too many opium dens in Shanghai and he could not take care of them all. But if the opium dens were opened by the Japanese, Yang Xuewu would not have ignored it.

At this moment, Yang Xuewu suddenly had an idea in his mind, that is, he could not take care of the opium dens in Shanghai, but he could give this task to Aping and his elder brother Rao Hanhua to solve, as they were just bored.

The three of them met today. In addition to introducing Ichikawahara Nana and Satomi to each other, Satomi actually came here for another thing, which was to hand over the money earned from selling opium every month to the Central China Liaison Department of the Asia Development Council.

After the Central China Liaison Department of the Asia Development Institute received the money, it was handed over to the Japanese headquarters for distribution. The main destination was various Japanese intelligence agencies, because the Hongji Charity Hall was mainly supported by various Japanese intelligence agencies.

After the conversation, Yang Xuewu heard that this time alone, Satomi brought in hundreds of thousands of yen, and this was only one month's income. If calculated based on a year, the Japanese would have extorted nearly 10 million yen from Shanghai just from opium. Although Shanghai was the main sales area for opium at that time, the total income of other occupied areas added up was certainly not a small amount.

After much thought, Yang Xuewu felt that if he wanted to cut off this source of financial resources for the Japanese, he would need the cooperation of the Military Control Commission Headquarters. He could deal with the Hongji Charity Hall in Shanghai, but he could not deal with the Hongji Charity Halls in other cities in the occupied areas.

Although this is a bit troublesome, it is all worth it. Most of the money that the Japanese extorted from opium would be used to deal with the Chinese people. If Hongji Charity Hall was not destroyed, Yang Xuewu's killing of Tsuda Jingzhi, Ichikawahara Nana and Satomi would not have much effect. Hongji Charity Hall would still be operating and would continue to suck blood from the Chinese people.

About half an hour later, Yang Xuewu saw three people walking out together.

Although the strategy was to destroy Hongji Charity Hall first and then kill a few people, Yang Xuewu had to find out where the three people lived first.

The three of them must live in different places. Yang Xuewu chose to follow Tsuda Jingzhi first because he had the highest military rank among the three. Soon after, Yang Xuewu followed Tsuda Jingzhi to his residence. The defense of Tsuda Jingzhi's residence was very tight. Yang Xuewu observed for a while and found that it was not realistic to sneak in and assassinate Tsuda Jingzhi, but since he had determined Tsuda Jingzhi's residence, Yang Xuewu would have plenty of ways to kill him in the future.

Although he knew where Tsuda Jingzhi lived, Yang Xuewu was not in a hurry to leave. He also planned to ask Yoshino Ichiro about "Satomi"'s situation in the evening.

As the manager of Shanghai Hongji Charity Hall, "Satomi" and Ichiro Yoshino must be aware of his situation.

In the evening, Yang Xuewu came to Yoshino Ichiro's house and told him about the situation of "Satoshi". Yoshino Ichiro smiled and said that he knew who this person was.

"Mr. Yang, the 'Satoshi' you mentioned is actually Satomi Fukushi, a native of Fukuoka Prefecture. He also has a Chinese name, Li Ming.

Satomi Fu came to Shanghai very early. He came to China around 1913. After arriving in Shanghai, Satomi Fu studied at Tongwen College. From then on, Satomi Fu deeply studied China's culture and customs.

Four years later, Satomi Fumu graduated and worked in a trading company. Later, the trading company went bankrupt and Satomi Fumu returned to his country.

In 1921, Li Jianfu returned to China and entered the newspaper industry. Under the orders of the Kwantung Army, he integrated the media and established the Manchukuo News Agency.

While in Manchukuo, Satomi Fusamu worked as a reporter while colluding with the Kwantung Army to sell opium. Although the trading company where Satomi Fusamu worked at the time went bankrupt, it allowed Satomi Fusamu to accumulate a lot of experience.

Satomi Fusamu was a very capable person. In just ten years, he became a famous opium king in Manchukuo.

In 1937, Satomi Fu was invited by Yingzuo Zhenzhao to come to Shanghai to specialize in the opium business. Mr. Yang should be familiar with Yingzuo Zhenzhao, right? "

"No stranger, Yingzuo Zhenzhao died in my hands, but I didn't expect that this Satomi Fu would be related to Yingzuo Zhenzhao."

"After the death of Kagesa Yoshiaki, Satomi Fu needed to cooperate with others because he was essentially just a businessman and needed the army to protect his business. At this time, Vice Admiral Tsuda Jingzhi found him, and the two hit it off. With the cooperation of the two, the opium business in Shanghai flourished and made a lot of money for the empire."

"Mr. Yang, to be honest, I once led people to help Li Jianfu squeeze out the Chinese merchants who were doing opium business."

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu smiled and did not blame Ichiro Yoshino. Firstly, the Japanese Special High Police had given the order and Ichiro Yoshino had to obey it. Secondly, the Chinese businessmen doing opium business were definitely not good people. Even if they were killed by the Japanese, Yang Xuewu would not feel sad for them at all.

After learning about Satomi Fumi's information, Yang Xuewu left. He didn't expect that Satomi Fumi was once the opium king of Manchukuo. But since Yang Xuewu had set his eyes on him, no matter who Satomi Fumi was, Yang Xuewu would make him a dead man in the end.

The next morning, Yang Xuewu went to Tan Wenxia. He planned to tell the headquarters about his plan to destroy Hongji Charity Hall to see if Dai Chunfeng had the courage to do something big.

But based on Yang Xuewu's understanding of Dai Chunfeng, he felt that Dai Chunfeng would most likely agree to this matter. It was impossible for Dai Chunfeng not to be tempted by such a great contribution that could increase the popularity of the Military Control Commission. (End of this chapter)
