Spy Wars: Red Shopkeeper

Chapter 13 Surge
Lawyers make money with their mouths, but the ability gap between one mouth and another is huge.

As soon as he left the room, Wolf sighed, "Gu, you're amazing! Forget him! You've convinced me too. Before I came here, I really didn't expect there would be so many angles to attack from."

International situation, Shanghai responsibility, personal friendship, all-round attack from top, middle and bottom, as long as one of the three entry points hits Hase's heart, it will be a great victory. Now, it is a complete siege.

"I'll show you something even more exciting later. Now, you have to work hard for our reward."

"That's right, get in the car!"

Danwen Law Firm.

"Susan, has anyone from the French consulate been here?"

"Been here."

"The Japanese consulate will be here soon. When they get here, have them talk to Miss Mai Rui to sign the contract and pay the money."

"Okay, it looks like you two have gained a lot today. How about afternoon tea?"

“Anything you want!”

Wolf was very proud of his windfall and went to the office to find Miss Mai Rui: "Let's get started. Someone will come to you to sign the contract and pay the money. You arrange for them to collect all the newspapers on the market. I mean all. As long as they are sold today, you must buy two copies back!
Also, for anything published today targeting France, I want the background of the newspaper, the regions where the newspaper is sold, the editor who wrote the article, who the editor-in-chief is, and their background and resume. I don't care how you use it, I want the data, all of it."

"Yes, Mr. Wolfe."

"As soon as possible! Um. Buy it tomorrow too. Maybe some tabloids are slow to publish news the next day. It's not our fault that they're slow, but they're also at fault for being slow, and we can't let them off. Our clients want everything."

"Ok."

"Go."

They are decisive and efficient in doing things. The law firm has so many young lawyers, so they can all be put to work.

Watching his assistant Mai Rui assigning investigative tasks to the young lawyer, Wolf patted Gu Yansheng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I can do the basic work of collecting information for you, but what about the core idea? This case is not easy to win."

The newspaper is not guilty, but it is not easy to get an apology from it.

The most important thing for a lawyer is the core idea, the core idea that can defeat the enemy in one move, which is also the key evidence.

"The answer to the mystery lies within the riddle itself. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it." Gu Yansheng smiled. "It's time to meet the key figure in this case. Do you want to go?"

"What core figures? The ones who were arrested?"

Wolf's doubts only lasted for a few seconds. After a little thought, he reacted quickly. After this reminder, he suddenly understood.

"There are three parties involved in this incident: the police station, the Japanese military police, and the group of people who were arrested. This is the source of the incident. If we just sued the newspaper and got the money from the French, it would have been enough. But you insisted on adding the Japanese into the mix, and now you're going after these people too. Are you trying to get all three parties to give the same testimony, turn against us, and then kill the fourth party?"

Wolf was a little shocked by the clarity of thought.

The Japanese who were originally going to try to persuade have now become their guests. The most difficult part has been solved. All they need to do now is persuade the people who are easiest to persuade, that is, the prisoners. The whole thing has been solved?

Gu Yansheng simply patted his suit to make himself more solemn. "When gods fight, wild boars suffer. When Japanese military police and Chinese secret agents fight, it's fine for the French to join in the fun, after all, they sponsored the venue. But what about reporters getting involved? They didn't pay for the tickets."

"Hahahaha, I get it! I understand everything. Gu, your plan is truly genius! You picked the weakest of the four to attack, and you even took the money from the two richest parties. What an incredibly brilliant plan!"

"Wolf, you're wrong. I'm not saying it's not clever, but we, we picked the weakest of the four to fight."

"Ha, that's right, it's us."

"Lend me the car, you stay here. I still need the information to investigate their background."

"Ok, leave it to me. Here, the key."

"Thank you."

Gu Yansheng took the key and went to find the driver. When he returned to the office, the driver was not there, but there was a note left on the table.

"Mr. Gu, I'm going to investigate the background information of these people. I will be back as soon as I'm done."

Gu Yansheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, if we just sit there and wait, it would be a complete lack of initiative."

Without a driver, I had to drive myself.

Fortunately, I received basic vehicle driving training when I was in Yan'an.

French Concession, Xue Huali Road, Central Police Station.

The French Concession itself was not very large, and there were only a few cells in the Mailan Police Station. On the night they were arrested, these people were taken to the Central Police Station.

One floor of the building housed the largest detention center in the French Concession. In fact, the courts and the police station were all located in this complex, primarily due to its small size and proximity. When the Mercedes-Benz 540K pulled up at the entrance of the Central Police Station and Gu Yansheng, dressed in a sharp suit, got out, the colors of the world softened as he looked.

The Indian patrolman holding a stick at the door let Gu Yansheng into the building without even asking any questions, and even bowed to him.

"Which department is responsible for the group of people arrested in the teahouse yesterday?" Gu Yansheng asked casually at the information desk.

"Criminal Section 2, you are..."

"Which floor?"

"On the second floor, you are hey hey hey."

The security was useless. Gu Yansheng walked with big strides, and the police officer at the front desk didn't dare to stop him even though he was holding his hat.

However, this scene was seen by two people who had been sitting on the benches in the hall. The two men in casual clothes put down the newspapers in their hands, looked at each other, and one of them followed.

Gu Yansheng didn't care about the followers behind him. He came with great fanfare, ready to show up to the whole world.

Go upstairs to the second floor, find the door with the plaque of Criminal Section 2, and push it open to enter.

"Eight cakes."

"Hum! Haha! Give me money, give me money."

"Fuck, Liu Dabo, did your wife have her period last night? Can you please go wash your hands if they stink? You're making me lose money again."

"Brother Wang, someone is coming."

"Who!"

Cursing and swearing, Wang Defa looked at Gu Yansheng with a cigarette in his mouth. Perhaps because he saw that his clothes were nice, he didn't curse directly. Instead, he said unhappily, "Who are you looking for?"

"Are the people we arrested at the teahouse yesterday in your hands?" Gu Yansheng asked.

The people who were arranging mahjong tiles paused in unison.

Wang Defa narrowed his eyes when he heard this, "What do you want?"

"lawyer."

"Fuck! I thought it was some kind of bird cannon, but it scared me by being dressed like a human."

"Hahaha, I thought some important person had come."

"The case is still under investigation. Bail will not be granted. You can leave now."

The mahjong tiles began to be sorted again. Wang Defa turned around and casually threw out, "You're so great as a lawyer! This is the police station! Remember to knock on the door next time. If you don't have time this time, forget it. Otherwise, we'll arrest you for wiretapping! Get out, get out, and close the door behind you."

"Damn it, I don't know how these guys down there can do such a bad job. They put up all sorts of things. Brother Wang, when you see Mr. Liao later, you can file a complaint against them, little chicken."

During the training in Yan'an, I heard that the law enforcement environment in the French Concession was relaxed and it was a good place to hide. Now looking at this scene, Gu Yansheng felt that it did make sense.

Instead of coming out, he went in, picked up the phone on the table and started dialing.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Are you looking for death?" A police officer stood up and pointed and cursed.

After Gu Yansheng dialed the number, he put one hand in his pocket, held the phone in the other, and just looked at him.

Wang Defa realized something was wrong and stopped the police officer who was about to go forward and hit the man. He chose to stay put and listen to where the call was directed.

Gu Yansheng satisfied him and answered the call, saying, "Hello, is this the consulate? I'm looking for Consul Richard. I'm the lawyer who came yesterday. My last name is Gu. I'm currently in your Central Police Station. The people there seem a little uneasy."

Bang! A large hand swooped over and firmly pressed the hang-up button on the phone. The entire swooping process was incredibly fast.

When Wang Defa was not smiling, his face looked a little ferocious. At this moment, he looked up at Gu Yansheng from below, and the corners of his mouth slowly pursed until they turned into a blooming arc.

"It's Lawyer Gu. I've heard of you for a long time! I didn't recognize you just now. Have we met somewhere before? Of course, it doesn't matter if we haven't met before. First time is strange, then second time is familiar. You're here to do business, right? Tell me, what is it? Make some tea, make some tea. Do you prefer coffee or tea, Lawyer Gu?"

Don't hit someone who smiles. Gu Yansheng came to do business, so he smiled and said, "The coffee is ready, thank you."

"Okay, a cup of the best Blue Mountain coffee, hurry up! Lawyer Gu, come over here and take a seat."

Wang Defa smiled and waved his hand towards the small office on the side, escorting Gu Yansheng in, while giving his subordinates an upward look.

The subordinate understood immediately and nodded, then went out and went directly to the office of the Chief Chinese Constable in the French Concession upstairs.
