Chapter 1720: The Battle of Tianjin! (Seventy-eighth)
"Director, how is this James' interpersonal relationship?" Qiu An asked.
"It's not very good. I offended many people, but given his identity, no one dares to do anything to him!"
"How is his relationship with the Japanese?" Qiu An asked.
"It seems pretty good. I have some cooperation with several Japanese businesses and like to visit Japanese kilns!" said the director.
"So, this James must have a few good Japanese friends?" A light flashed in Qiu An's eyes.
"There are a few Damao from Mitsui Products, and Hua Guzi from Ronda Foreign Company..."
"Hua Guzi, is this a woman?"
"No, it's a man, we're also surprised that a big man has such a name, but he's Japanese, so we don't care, nor can we care!"
"hey-hey……"
"Captain Qiu, have you eaten?"
"Well, I rushed over after receiving the order. I didn't have time to have dinner. Otherwise, I'll be the host and ask the director to go to the restaurant opposite to make do with it?" Qiu An said.
"How can you be so embarrassed? Captain Qiu is a guest and has helped us solve the case so much, so I should invite you!" The director refused quickly.
"I'm also for our own innocence. To be honest, we entered the city yesterday. Outside the Dajing Gate, a brother of my subordinate lost a pair of old military shoes!" Qiu An said.
"Is there such a thing?" The director was shocked.
"It was an hour. If you want to lose guns and ammunition, it was a big deal. Besides, my brother would not report it. If it weren't for the shoe printing, we wouldn't have known that such a thing would have happened!" Qiu An said, "I think this matter will be found sooner or later, so I have to communicate with you first!"
"Captain Qiu, I understand what you mean. We know this, but we won't tell you. The person who framed your subordinates must be anxious. If we can't find out or don't notice it, he will take the initiative to jump out!"
"Director, if you don't say that ginger is still old, I just said it, you will understand as soon as you hear it!" Qiu An said in a compliment.
"Captain Qiu. You are so powerful. I was impressed by two generals under my command in just a few words. Look at them, they are all convinced to you and the director of me!" The director said with a smile.
"The director was joking. Inspector Lin and Forensic Guo are both experts in their respective fields. I am just a wild player and talk nonsense!" Qiu An said with a smile.
"I'll just talk nonsense and convince the two generals under my command. If I get serious, wouldn't even abdicate, even the director, be the director?"
"Director, you are really good at joking, this is impossible!"
"Kidding, joke, Captain Qiu has a bright future. How could he be a police chief in a small place like Xuanhua?" The director laughed.
"Director, please!"
"It's easy to say, Captain Qiu, please!"
The chefs in the hotel are quite capable. The dishes they cook are pretty good. This is a designated restaurant by the police station. I know what the director likes to eat, and the taste of this dish is also to the taste. So the food was so harmonious and joyful.
"Brother Qiu, this sheep has a good waist, you can try it!"
"Director, I'm still not used to this smell!" Qiu An smiled embarrassedly. The smell of sheep was too strong, and I felt uncomfortable when I smelled it.
"I don't know the benefits of this sheep's waist. We Chinese people pay attention to replenishing whatever we eat. What else can we replenish with this waist?" The director's eyes were filled with a smile.
"I'm young, I don't need it. Director, you should eat more. Go back this night and make my sister-in-law happy..."
"Brother, don't you understand this very well? Is there any woman?" The director drank a little loudly, "If not, please ask my sister-in-law to find one for you, and it is guaranteed to be the eldest daughter of the yellow flower!"
"Brother Director, I thank you. I haven't thought about getting married yet. If it's glorious on the battlefield, this orphan and widowed mother wouldn't it be a sin?"
"Who said that this is not a sin, it is a accumulation of virtue. Think about it, this is for your old Qiu family to leave behind..."
"Director, Captain Qiu, you are really here. Come back to the bureau and something happened!" A policeman and Qiu An's special forces team member hurriedly walked in!
"What a big deal, I'm drinking!"
"Director, the matter about the shoe printing has been revealed!"
"Shoeprints, what shoeprints?" Qiu An stood up suddenly. At this time, the director almost woke up with alcohol and understood what was going on.
"Let's go, brother, go back!"
"Director, the front door is blocked, so we can only go to the back door!"
"It's blocked, who blocked it?"
"Who else, Renji Foreign Company and the British in Xuanhua!" The policeman who reported the news was almost crying!
"Director, it seems that someone can't hold back his temper!" Qiu An sneered.
"Yes, let's go back!" The director sobered up all the wine at this time. He didn't drink much, but he was too shallow.
Return to the police station from the back door.
"Director, it's not convenient for me to appear. I showed up at Chaoyanglou Hotel last night. Lieutenant Colonel Wilson must have seen me!" Qiu An grabbed the director and said, "You go out to negotiate with them. Remember one thing, the case handling and the law need to pay attention to evidence. Even if the shoe print is confirmed to be mine, the shoes have been found, but this has no direct connection with James' death!"
"Why is there no connection?"
"At most this is said that someone went to Inji Foreign Company last night wearing these shoes, but it may not be the owner of the shoes. Right? Director, if you take my gun and kill someone, you will give it back to me. The gun that killed someone is mine, but can I say that the one who killed someone is me?"
"Brother, I didn't kill anyone!"
"I know, this is just an example!" Qiu Andao.
"I understand, understand, physical evidence is only one aspect, but he can't kill someone with a pair of shoes, right? Besides, it's not possible to prove that the person wearing these shoes has entered James' room, right?" the director thought for a while.
"It can be said that too!" Qiu An nodded!
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and more and more people gathered, surrounding the police station’s door!
"Shengdaojun, this time, seeing how the Chinese people deal with it, that Wilson is not a good person to mess with!"
"Yamada, you sent those shoes to you?"
"I can't hide it from you, Moeshima Jun, but I didn't come forward in person, so no one knows that this matter has something to do with us!" Yamada smiled.
"James' death..."
"It has nothing to do with us, I can guarantee this!" Yamada said solemnly.
"As long as it is not us who killed people, there is no need to worry. We just want to muddle the water in this pond!" Makishima Kaori smiled grimly.
"Admiral Tojo will know sooner or later. If he asks, how should we answer?" Yamada asked.
"Does this matter have anything to do with us?" asked Kakuyo Morishima.
"No, no!" Yamada was stunned and said hurriedly.
"Continue to watch the show, we can't watch the military exercise show, but we can still watch the plays in Xuanhua City. Maybe it's even more exciting than that!" said Kazuyoshi Morishima. "Dr. Tea, give me another pot of good tea, peanuts and melon seeds!"
"Okay. You wait, come up later!"
Police Department front door lobby.
Lieutenant Colonel Wilson struggled with a group of people and made a big fuss, and there was a possibility of rushing into the police station at any time.
Inspector Lin was very often dealing with it, but he just ignored him.
"Everyone, calm down, the director is here!"
"Director, you are finally back. I can't hold on anymore. These people insist on breaking in and looking for you, and said...
"Okay, Inspector Lin, you go down and do things, I'll deal with it here!" The director gave a faint command. If he didn't hold on to the scene, he would have been home and northwest wind when he turned around!
For his own job, he had to come out and hold on to the situation.
"Mr. Director, have you found the murderer who killed Mr. James?" Lieutenant Colonel Wilson asked aggressively.
"This is not yet, the case is still under investigation!"
"Oh, is that right? But as far as I know, you have found some clues. You have even known the real murderer, but have not taken action for a long time!" Wilson said.
"This is impossible. If the murderer had been found, why wouldn't we go out to arrest people? This case is very concerned. There is no reason why we don't want to solve the case earlier?" the director retorted calmly.
"Mr. Director, it's not that you don't want to arrest people, but that you don't dare to arrest people, because the murderer's identity is very special and you can't afford to offend!" Lieutenant Colonel Wilson asked sternly.
"I don't quite understand what Lieutenant Colonel Wilson means. In Xuanhua City, there are also suspects that our police station dare not arrest?" asked the director.
"Sir Director, look, what is this?" Lieutenant Colonel Wilson waved his hand, and Lieutenant Jack put a kraft paper bag in front of the director.
"What's this?"
"Mr. Director opens it and you will understand it!" Wilson said.
The director opened the paper bag and poured out a pair of old military shoes covered with mud from it.
"Lt. Col. Wilson, why is this?"
"Did Mr. Secretary forget the shoe prints on the corridor outside Mr. James's door?" Lieutenant Colonel Wilson sneered.
"Is this the shoe printed on that shoe?"
"Yes, the shoe prints and the shoe prints found at Renji Foreign Company were all left behind by these shoes. I don't think I have to tell you about the director!" Wilson said with aggressive eyes.
"Lt. Col. Wilson, are you saying that the owner of these shoes is the murderer who killed Mr. James?" the director raised his eyes and asked back.
"Isn't it? Who else can kill Mr. James except him?"
"Where is the evidence?"
"Evidence, aren't these shoes and the shoe prints present the evidence?" Wilson asked angrily, pointing at the director's nose.
"Yes, the shoe prints and shoes are evidence, but has the owner of this pair of shoes entered James' bedroom?" the director asked slowly, "If not, how did he kill people? If he goes in, how did he kill people? What is the murder weapon? We are dealing with cases to make evidence. We cannot convict people at will, as that will wrongly accuse good people."
