The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 666: Witnesses? No more now.

Chen Zhengwei and Samuel Wilder had a pleasant conversation and quickly reached a consensus.

Although Hawaii has a unique location, it actually has very few resources. It mainly relies on plantations and sugar industry, followed by a small amount of sandalwood and fisheries. The total economic value is only a few million dollars a year.

The population is only 5.

This also included thousands of Chinese and Portuguese laborers.

Samuel Wilder doesn't care about selling Hawaii to Chen Zhengwei. After all, Hawaii is not his.

Chen Zhengwei would help him join the Republican Party, introduce him to the President of the United States, and give him some green lights in his business.

"So what about the Japanese matter... The cabinet wants to arrest a group of criminals. What does Mr. Chen think?" Samuel Wilder asked softly.

Chen Zhengwei pointed at Samuel Wilder and laughed.

This is the purpose of the other party coming here today, which means that the other party has long planned to sell Hawaii to Chen Zhengwei.

Samuel Wilder thought very clearly that Chen Zhengwei was not from the United States or Britain, and he would not care about international public opinion. He was just a villain.

Hawaii had no ability to resist him.

As for what chain reactions will occur afterwards, that will be a matter for later.

So he had made plans long ago, and he did not stop the cabinet from wanting to arrest the murderers.

"Let them catch them!" Chen Zhengwei said after laughing.

If they don't arrest anyone, how will he have the chance to get angry?
After all, he is reasonable.

In this way, it is natural for local Chinese to hire security companies to protect themselves, or for them to send security companies to protect other Chinese.

The two chatted for a while before Samuel Wilder left.

Naturally, the other members of the cabinet could not be concealed from the fact that the Prime Minister was coming to meet Chen Zhengwei.

But they had no other choice.

That evening, under the guidance of the Japanese, the police force went to the Chinese community to arrest people.

"It's him! I've seen that face!" On the street, a Japanese man pointed at Huang Quanzheng and others who were sitting at a table outside the teahouse.

"Take him away!" The sheriff signaled other policemen to arrest him.

These Chinese people are already feeling a little guilty.

Seeing how aggressive they were coming, a dozen or so Chinese people around them immediately stood up and looked at them vigilantly.

"What are you going to do?"

"You guys are suspected of being involved in the massacre last night! We have witnesses here!" the sheriff in charge said coldly.

"Everyone else, please move aside. I will arrest anyone who dares to stop me!"

The commotion here immediately caused many Chinese people to come out of the surrounding shops and dilapidated wooden houses.

Seeing more and more of these people, the sheriff was a little scared, but he still remained tough.

"Everyone step back. We are catching the murderer of last night's massacre! Anyone who dares to stop us will be guilty of the same crime as them!"

Huang Quanzheng and his companions looked uncertain when facing the police's guns.

"What should we do? Didn't Mr. Chen say he could handle it? How can the police come to arrest people?" someone asked in panic.

"Everyone calm down. Mr. Chen will definitely not just sit there and watch. Let someone notify Mr. Chen!" Huang Quanzheng said to the person next to him while trying to remain calm.

"No need to go, just follow them! Brother Wei can't find a chance to lose his temper! Don't say anything after you go in, they won't dare to do anything to you. They will have to release you tomorrow at the latest." Someone in the crowd said in Cantonese.

Huang Quanzheng and others heard the voice and looked over, only to see a man in hunting clothes nodding at them in the crowd.

The man dressed like that is Chen Zhengwei's subordinate.

Seeing this, Huang Quanzheng and others felt a little relieved.

He stood up and said, "Don't point guns at us, we'll follow you!"

The sheriff in charge looked at Huang Quanzheng and his companions, then looked at the man in hunting clothes who had just spoken, and he also recognized the other person's identity.

I have a very bad feeling in my heart.

"Who knows what they said?" the sheriff asked others.

The others shook their heads, they simply couldn't understand the Chinese language.

The sheriff had no choice at this time, he had to arrest the man and take him back.

A group of people were arrested quickly, not just Huang Quanzheng and a few others, but also some other Chinese. A total of more than 50 people were arrested.

After these people were brought back to the police station, they were locked up in cells and interrogated one by one.

The interrogation was just much more "gentle" because due to the presence of Chen Zhengwei, the Minister of the Interior strictly ordered them not to use torture.

But they still need to find out some things through interrogation in order to gain the upper hand in public opinion and put pressure on Chen Zhengwei.

Therefore, these Chinese people did not say a word after being arrested, and the Hawaiian police were the ones who felt the most uncomfortable.

At the same time, in the manor where Chen Zhengwei was, the henchman came in and greeted the others, then came to Chen Zhengwei and said, "Brother Wei, the people have been arrested. More than 50 of them have been arrested."

"understood!"

Chen Zhengwei didn't even raise his eyes, looking at the newspaper in his hand, which was today's evening paper.

"Japanese and Chinese laborers clashed, hundreds were massacred!"

"Brother Wei, there are still some Japanese alive, and they were taken away by the police for identification." The henchman reminded again.

"What are you accusing? What they say doesn't count!" Chen Zhengwei looked at the henchman strangely.

He raised his hand and pointed to the coffee table in front of him: "What color is it?"

"Yellow?" The man asked, looking at the sandalwood coffee table.

"I said it's white." Chen Zhengwei retracted his gaze and continued reading the newspaper.

"Brother Wei said it is white, so it must be white."

"Look, you know everything." Chen Zhengwei said without even shaking his head.

A moment later, Chen Fang and others also arrived at the manor. The police came to arrest people, which made them a little worried.

But he was stopped at the door.

"Just do your own thing! Those Hawaiians wouldn't dare to do anything!"

……

The next day, the morning paper was still reporting on the massacre of Japanese workers in Hawaii. This time there was more international opinion, mainly because Japan was furious after learning the news. It made severe accusations in the newspapers and demanded an explanation from Hawaii.

Since Japan has not yet figured out the situation, it has not yet pointed the finger at Chen Zhengwei.

But it is different in Russia. After Alexander II of Russia was assassinated, Alexander III ascended the throne and finally stabilized the domestic situation in the past few months.

He has not forgotten his hatred for Chen Zhengwei at all.

Two Russian ambassadors have died in the United States.

"That Chinese man is there. Wherever he goes, he uses violence to solve problems or people who disagree with him. As long as you look at his experience, you will know that he is a thug and an executioner!"

Journalists of this era know how to attract readers' attention.

I had the opportunity to interview Russia's Foreign Minister yesterday afternoon, and the report appeared in today's newspapers.

That morning, the police went to the Chinese community and arrested a group of people. Some of them were arrested while still on the plantation.

There were more than a hundred people in total. At noon, after Chen Zhengwei had his morning tea and read the newspaper, he said to Li Xiwen, "Go get Chen Fang and the others, and then go inform Hawaii's Minister of the Interior and Minister of Foreign Affairs. They have arrested many Chinese people, and the local Chinese came to me to make a decision for them."

"I am very concerned about this matter and want to ask him what the situation is. I will go to the police station in person to inquire about the situation in person."

"I hope the Chinese who were arrested were not tortured."

After Li Xiwen went to notify them, Chen Zhengwei sat there and played with Huapao and Changhong for a while with Walnut in his hand.

He handed the walnut to Huapao, who crushed it neatly. Chen Zhengwei then snatched the walnut away and threw the kernel into his mouth.

Huapao suddenly became furious and tried to snatch the food from Chen Zhengwei's mouth, but was thrown aside by Chen Zhengwei.

The fireworks were spinning in circles on the ground in a hurry.

"I am teaching you a truth. Opening a walnut is not a skill. Being able to keep the walnut is a skill!" Chen Zhengwei said to Huapao with a smile.

"You even bully birds?" Lin Changning held the golden egg, feeling both amused and annoyed.

You don't do anything about personnel matters.

“I’m teaching it the truth!”

"Puzzle!" Hua Pao cursed angrily, but before he could finish the second half of the sentence, Chen Zhengwei and Lin Changning's eyes fell on it.

The firecrackers immediately ran away from the ground like a free-range chicken.

Chen Fang and others were feeling uneasy, fearing that Chen Zhengwei would ask them to kill the Japanese and then leave them alone.

After all, it is a matter of life and death. Even if they know the possibility is very small, they can't help but feel uneasy.

After receiving the news, he hurried to the manor.

"Mr. Chen!"

"I'll go to the police station with you!" Chen Zhengwei stood up, and Wanyun immediately took the hat from the hanger and handed it to him.

Chen Zhengwei put on his hat, put on his trousers and shirt and went out.

The group got on a carriage and headed straight to the police station in Hawaii.

At this time, the carriages of Foreign Minister Gibson and Henry Alperich arrived.

Everyone in the police station saw several horse-drawn carriages parked in front of the police station. Then, a dozen Chinese men in gentlemen's suits jumped out and stood guard around. Then, Chen Zhengwei got off the carriage.

The last people to get off the carriage were Chen Fang and others.

Gibson and Alperich hurried over to meet them.

"Mr. Chen!"

Chen Zhengwei stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two men casually: "I heard that you have arrested a lot of Chinese laborers in the past two days, and they all came to me to make the decision."

"I am also Chinese and I am very concerned about this matter."

"I've heard before that Chinese people have a very low status in Hawaii and are often bullied and blackmailed... I didn't expect this to happen right under my nose. Do you think Chinese people are easy to bully?" Chen Zhengwei said a few words and his tone began to become unfriendly.

"Mr. Chen, what you heard must be a rumor! In fact, some Japanese laborers were killed innocently the night before last!"

"This matter is related to Chinese workers! We have witnesses to testify and we will never arrest innocent people!" Gibson said firmly.

"This happened in Hawaii, and there were hundreds of casualties. This is a mess. The Hawaii government must give an explanation to all parties."

"Witnesses? What witnesses? Maybe someone made a false accusation with ulterior motives. I am familiar with this!" Chen Zhengwei smiled: "Chinese people are known for their honesty in every country. You said they killed hundreds of Japanese laborers? I don't believe it."

Chen Zhengwei walked in while talking.

When you walk into a room, you just push the door open.

Then go to the next room.

"Mr. Chen, this is Hawaii, and this is our internal affairs," said Interior Minister Henry Alperich indifferently.

"But this involves my compatriots! I can't just sit back and watch." Chen Zhengwei said directly.

I pushed open the third door and saw a few dwarfs in the room.

When they saw Chen Zhengwei, the Japanese all showed expressions of fear, and only calmed down a little when they saw the police next to him.

"Is this the witness you are talking about?" Chen Zhengwei asked standing at the door.

"They saw it with their own eyes and identified the murderer who committed the murder that night!" Alperich said in a deep voice.

Chen Zhengwei stretched out his hand to the side, and the henchman immediately handed him a revolver.

Chen Zhengwei took the gun and pulled the trigger at the Japanese in the room without changing his expression.

Bang bang bang!

Interior Minister Henry Alperich and Foreign Minister Charles Gibson felt their scalps tingling and even their anger disappeared.

A chill rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

The other policemen almost pulled out their guns in a panic.

Chen Fang and others who followed behind them all opened their mouths wide.

Several Japanese in the room were shot in the forehead and fell to the ground.

Chen Zhengwei threw the gun to his henchman and looked at Alperich and Gibson: "Are there any other witnesses?"

Alperich and Gibson were now chilled and kept their mouths shut.

"I said, they are making false accusations with some ulterior motives." Chen Zhengwei grinned and smiled at the two of them.

"In addition, I suspect that you are persecuting the local Chinese! Therefore, I will agree to the request of local Chinese businessmen and let them hire some personnel from the security company."

Upon hearing this, Alperich and Gibson's faces changed drastically.

"This is naked aggression!" Gibson couldn't help but say.

Chen Zhengwei suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist, pointed it at Gibson's head, and then pulled down the hammer.

Gibson's forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat.

The police around him pulled out their guns and pointed them at Chen Zhengwei.

Chen Zhengwei's henchmen also pulled out guns and pointed them at other people, and the scene became tense.

However, Chen Zhengwei's men were used to this and their faces looked calm. However, the policemen's fingers were shaking nervously and they might accidentally fire at any time.

"I hate people pointing guns at me!" Chen Zhengwei looked around.

"Do you want to start a war? If someone accidentally fires, you can see how thick and big my cannon is."

Alperich gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to ask the police to put down their guns.

"Mr. Chen, what do you want?" Gibson asked.

"I was just joking with you, why are you reacting so strongly? You have no sense of humor at all!" Chen Zhengwei pulled the gun away from Gibson's forehead and pulled the trigger at the roof.

boom!
Everyone's eyelids were twitching, and the Hawaiians were shocked and angry.

Chen Zhengwei casually threw the gun to his henchman and said, "Correct what you just said. This is not an invasion."

"It's just that the Chinese in Hawaii are under oppression and hire some security personnel to protect themselves. That's all. We will not interfere in your internal affairs."

"Is there a law in Hawaii that restricts security companies? If so, you can cancel it."

Chen Zhengwei patted Gibson on the shoulder.

"What about the Chinese who were arrested? If there is no evidence, you should release them."
