The Mitsui Club has three floors. The first floor is for stage entertainment programs, the second floor is for casinos, stripper performances, etc., and the third floor is for various private rooms.
At this time, Lu Ming was in the private room 305, but he was not here to spy, although the Mitsui Club was now under strict surveillance and Granny Long was involved.
The private room was very lively. Today, the Governor of Okuetsu Province and the Mayor of Okuetsu City, Kazunobu Kobayashi, was receiving distinguished guests from the Ueto Group.
Originally, the Ueto Group hoped to make an appointment with an important representative of the Montenegro Zhengdong Trading Company through Kobayashi Kazunobu, but unexpectedly, Zhengdong Trading entrusted Consultant Zhang.
In addition, the commander of the Okuetsu Division, Shigeyoshi Kawamoto, was also invited.
At the provincial office and city hall, there are also the deputy governor and deputy mayor Murakami Kiyozumi.
There is also Mitsui Shigeki, the local head of the Mitsui Group, and Kazuaki Yamamoto, the director-general of the Okuetsu Metropolitan Police Department and the chief of the Okuetsu Police Station, with the rank of Superintendent of Police.
Basically, covers the most important forces in Austria.
The representative of the Ueto Group was obviously acting on behalf of Yamamoto Yu to coordinate relations among all parties, temporarily stabilize the local situation, and wait for the moment of shocking counterattack.
The person who came was Ueto Yukihiko, an important executive of the Ueto Group, a calm and capable middle-aged Japanese man in his forties.
In addition, sitting next to Shanghuxing was a young man, whom Shanghuxing respected very much. It seemed that the young man was a direct descendant of the Shanghu family, and his inheritance order would not be low.
The young man had a proud look on his face but didn't say anything. It seemed that he came out here to broaden his horizons. The elders in his family strictly ordered him to obey all arrangements made by the household registration office.
Although it was a leisure room, there were neither strippers nor cigars to serve. Instead, the atmosphere was tense and the discussion was heated.
Speaking of the big fight on the 11th, which was the day before yesterday, and the shooting of the leader of the Yoshida Group, the head of the Metropolitan Police Department, Yamamoto Kazuming, had a gloomy face and said, "I have ordered the police station in this city to catch the murderer. I think the gunman must be from the Kawamoto gang that provoked the incident!" As he spoke, he looked at Lu Ming and others with an unfriendly look.
The Special Crime Investigation Division was created by Deputy Director An Teng Yuzhai and represents another force within the police station.
In fact, behind An Teng's house is the deputy mayor Murakami Kiyozumi who is also here.
Everyone had a spacious and elegant single sofa. Behind Lu Ming sat the translator Ken Nakagawa.
Sitting next to Lu Ming on the single sofa was Jinguji Heiji, who was wearing a professional attire, delicate light blue clothes and pants in the style of a professional girl, and dazzling royal blue high heels. She had a different temperament in those clothes, and as the head of the third department of the Special Search Section, she looked like a beautiful and charming Japanese female spy.
To represent the interests of Montenegro, Montenegro sent such a young and low-status candidate. All parties in the room will have two perspectives on the issue.
For example, the Metropolitan Police Department Chief Kazuaki Yamamoto was completely contemptuous. He was a member of the young military faction, and was assigned to assist Kobayashi Kazunobu in capturing Okuetsu's police force. He was arrogant by nature, and had a contemptuous attitude towards anyone who had no military experience, let alone such a young man from Nakasu who was still wet behind the ears. The other party was originally just a representative sent by the Sensen Police Station, and it was the Deputy Chief Aritaka Andeng who gave him the title of Special Investigation Section Consultant.
Moreover, the status of the candidate sent by Montenegro was so low that, in Yamamoto Kazuming's view, it represented the Montenegro Group's indifference to all the Japanese dignitaries present and was a provocation.
On the other hand, Deputy Mayor Murakami Kiyozumi looked at Lu Ming differently, probably because he thought that this young man must have a very special identity, so this young man could represent Montenegro to attend such an important meeting where high-level officials from all parties coordinate their interests.
Lu Ming slowly turned the pen in his hand, but his mind was not entirely here.
In the White House of Shili Villa, he was holding an emergency meeting.
The Sun family in Anshan is contacting their side and wants to oust Ren Zhonglin. If they cannot force him to step down peacefully, they will launch a coup and expel him by force.
The Sun family produced evidence that Ren Zhonglin wanted to break the alliance and secretly form an alliance with the Japanese when the Black Mountain Principality was in danger.
In this regard, the Principality of Montenegro has to consider various options and possibilities, and the cabinet and the military must conduct a detailed assessment from the political, economic and military aspects.
Ken Nakagawa whispered something behind him.
Lu Ming came back to his senses and looked at Yamamoto Ichimiya. "Minister Yamamoto, Yoshida Ming's gang was the main participant in the April 1st riot. His arrest was carried out by our Special Investigation Division 3, which is the Special Operations Team. Yoshida Ming resisted stubbornly and was shot dead. We just want to completely destroy the Yoshida Group. For the time being, we have not announced the cause of his death."
Yamamoto Yiming's face was immediately filled with anger, "Why didn't I see any reports about your actions?!"
Lu Ming spread his hands and said, "I don't know about that. Maybe the agency thinks that you don't need to worry too much about such a small case?"
Yamamoto Kazumi's face turned even gloomier, and he said coldly: "I think there is no need for this special search department to exist!" He looked at Kobayashi Kazunobu, "Master Kobayashi, I..."
Murakami Kiyozumi beside him smiled and said, "Minister Yamamoto, don't be angry. You manage all the police forces in this department. Your meticulous management style will make you and your subordinates tired. You still have to delegate power to your subordinates, don't you think? In addition, you have received the order issued by the Prime Minister through the military, right? Around April 16, it is strictly forbidden for the department to hold any commemorative activities, and no one is allowed to instigate xenophobic violence in this department. I am watching this special investigation section, and I am doing exactly what the Prime Minister asked me to do."
Yamamoto paused and snorted, but said nothing more.
Ueto Yuki has been observing the reactions of the crowd and listening to what they said. He nodded and said, "Everyone, our Ueto Group has invested a huge amount in Okuetsu. We have investments in nine cities in Okuetsu. For us investors, the most fearful thing is the unstable situation." He stood up and glanced at the commander of the Okuetsu Division, Shigeyoshi Kawamoto, Ikming Yamamoto and Lu Ming of the Metropolitan Police Department, and bowed deeply. "I'll leave it to General Kawamoto, Minister Yamamoto and Officer Lu!"
Kawamoto Shigeyoshi, who had been silent the whole time, said calmly, "I hope that the Okuetsu Division will take over the security of Okuetsu from tomorrow until after April 16th."
Yamamoto Ichimiya frowned and said, "General Kawamoto, if we only focus on the day of suffering, it is not fair to our people. Moreover, the Kawamoto group provoked the gang war, and the Yoshida group's branch here suffered a great loss. The Yoshida-dominated headquarters will not let it go and will definitely retaliate in a big way. We have always not interfered in gang wars. This is based on the special decree of the royal family. Can the Black Mountain people disrespect our traditions when they come?"
Hundreds of years ago, those secret societies, the predecessors of local violent groups, were very kind to the Japanese royal family, and as a result, they received special laws promulgated by the royal family.
The government will not prohibit violent group warfare that does not involve harm to the personal and property safety of civilians.
But war can only happen at night, within the gang’s own turf.
Many autonomous regions also see violent gangs as a force to control the grassroots people, and they can do things that the authorities are not convenient to do, which is why violent gangs in various places have the fertile soil to survive and thrive.
After listening to what Yamamoto Yiming said, Lu Ming put down his teacup and said calmly, "I fully respect any ancient traditions of your country, but the problem is that it was the Yoshida Group that first launched the riot in the Territory and attacked the commercial street of Qianmen Town. Tracing back to the source, I think the Territory should put the Yoshida Group on the blacklist and prohibit members of the Yoshida Group from entering the Territory. As for the wars between gangs outside the Territory, we certainly will not intervene in them."
Kawamoto Shigeyoshi nodded: "I agree with Officer Zhang's opinion. Why did the Yoshida Group enter Okuyue in large numbers and trigger this war? This is a question worth exploring." He felt a little heavy in his heart. Governor Zhang was a legendary figure. He had only met him once in Haixi, but he didn't expect that he had come to Okuyue. So, what will happen to Okuyue in the future? I'm afraid it's already foreseeable.
Kobayashi Yixin cleared his throat and said, "Today, we welcome Mr. Ueto Yuki. At the same time, I also want to hear the opinions of all parties. We can discuss the specific matters later."
Everyone listened and nodded.
In the following discussion, it was obvious that Ueto Yuki and Kobayashi Kazunobu were of the same mind, which was to maintain stability above all else.
In particular, it is warned that any commemorative or sacrificial activities are strictly prohibited around April 16th.
Yamamoto Kazuming was obviously the most resistant, his face was ashen and he didn't say a word.
Mitsui Mao's eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
…
After the meeting, Lu Ming did not leave. Since he was here and had a legitimate reason, it was just a good opportunity to explore the secret base of this new Japanese territory.
When he arrived at the strip club on the second floor, he was surrounded by a dozen gang members of the Kawamoto group, wearing black kimonos and wooden clogs and carrying Japanese samurai swords on their waists. Wherever he went, there was chaos and all the evil people avoided him. He was quite impressive.
The bizarre lights shone on the stage, and several Japanese girls in bikinis were posing around two steel pipes on the stage.
Lu Ming and his group naturally came to the stage. There was a space around them, so Lu Ming reached out and stuffed the tip to the stripper who was leaning forward with her chest bent.
It seems that the tips I received today are not enough, and it is not yet time to really expose myself.
"It's meaningless, let's go!" Lu Ming waved his hand, but still threw a hundred-yuan imperial coin onto the stage, causing the dancers to shake wildly, the audience screamed and whistled, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely heated.
Four or five black cars soon stopped in front of the club. Lu Ming and Jinguji Heiji got into the middle car, and Nakagawa Ken sat in the front seat.
"Sir," Jinguji Heiji spoke in Japanese in a very gentle voice, which was very pleasant to the ear.
Ken Nakagawa was stunned for a long while, then said, "Sir, Miss Jinguji wants to invite you to her home tonight..." His tone was full of bitterness when he said the latter part.
Lu Ming was stunned, he turned around and saw that Jinguji Heiji's pretty face was very calm, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy, angry, sad or joyful.
Obviously, today's meeting made her realize more clearly that she also had a high status among the Montenegrins, and that she might be able to get what she wanted by clinging to him.
Of course, with the inheritance, it is hard to say whether he would want to use secret techniques to control himself.
Waving his hand, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Ms. Jinguji should be someone with a story. I am willing to listen to your story at the right time. If I can help, I will."
Ken Nakagawa breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly told Jinguji Heiji what Lu Ming had said.
Jinguji Heiji nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Lu Ming was a little curious. He heard from Bizhu that according to the records, the Jinguji lineage should have been the strongest lineage of Japanese secret arts a thousand years ago, but now it seems to have become lonely ghosts. It is also unlike the "Kandian" lineage, which has an unclear relationship with powerful people like Yamamoto Yu.
However, now is not the time to explore these matters.
