Chapter 2887 Lost Gold
Today is a happy day.
Corazon, son of Dukao, the manager of Napu and chairman of the security committee, got married.
But why does Corazon, the groom, look so depressed?
Could it be that he doesn’t like his bride?
Only people in their family know the inside story.
"This is the Philippines under our rule."
Yutaro Doi was obviously very satisfied with the scene before him: "The vast majority of people are respectful and filial to the empire. Sometimes I also think that if the Chinese people were the same and did not resist, the war situation would be completely different.
Transformed.”
I fart your ancestors!
Meng Shaoyuan cursed in his stomach, but he said: "While they are all busy now, Mr. Doi, please tell me."
"say what?"
"What do you want me to do, or how do you want me to do it?" Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "These past two days, I have really troubled you. You are thinking about me in everything.
Even when we arrived in Napu, we were accompanied by a beautiful girl. No matter what, at least for now, I have regarded you as friends. So you can tell me anything you want."
Yutaro Doi was silent for a while and said: "Sir Taniguchi, you are really a smart man. In this case, I have no need to continue to hide it. Fifty kilograms of gold!"
Meng Shaoyuan frowned.
It was exactly what he and Fazheng had guessed.
It's all for gold.
But he did not speak, but listened to Yutaro Doi continue: "Towards the end of last year, we transported a batch of boxes to the designated warehouse.
According to the division of labor, Mizushima-kun was responsible for the protection, I was responsible for sending people to move and unload the goods, and Negishi-kun was responsible for transporting the vehicles. When we transported to the warehouse and finished unloading the goods, it was almost midnight.
Therefore, we decided to carry out handover and verification the next day. But when Takasago Makoto checked early the next morning, he found that a box had been swapped. What should have been 50 kilograms of gold inside was turned into stone.
"
"Really? How could such a thing happen?" Meng Shaoyuan suddenly became interested: "Didn't you conduct inspection when you shipped it?"
"The situation is a bit complicated." Yutaro Doi said: "The entire transportation process is like this. The frontline troops are responsible for transporting the loot to Sumalaga, and then the local area is responsible for keeping it.
After receiving, it will be sealed and stored in a temporary warehouse. When it is shipped again, it will only be sent to the next destination before a round of inspection and handover.
There will be problems in any aspect of this. But what I can confirm is that when the car was loaded, the seals were intact, which means that no one had touched them."
Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked: "What happened halfway? Did something happen? Why was the transportation not completed until midnight?"
"The journey went smoothly and there was no time wasted." Yutaro Doi continued: "As for why it took so long to arrive in the middle of the night, it was still a matter of manpower and vehicles."
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment: "Have you conducted any investigation after the incident?"
"Investigated." Yutaro Doi said with certainty: "We even arrested a few workers and tortured them, but there was no information. In fact, we had a suspicion at the time."
"What suspicion?"
"Takasago Makoto!"
"Speak more carefully."
Yutaro Doi hesitated for a moment and said: "There is a possibility in the whole process. That is that Takasago Makoto did something. That day, there were no soldiers on duty at night."
"Why?" Meng Shaoyuan asked immediately.
Yutaro Doi laughed bitterly: "Remember what we told you, Takasago Makoto is extremely harsh on others, and the soldiers can't stand it at all. The soldiers there have repeatedly protested, and would rather sit in confinement than continue to cooperate with Takasago Makoto.
.
Mizushima-kun had no choice but to temporarily withdraw them and then select new soldiers to go. Therefore, that night was a vacuum period. However, Takasago Makoto didn't care about whether there were soldiers at all. He sent four workers to keep vigil.
.
Just after the accident, we discovered that four workers were missing. We immediately searched nearby, and soon we found four bodies, it was those four workers!
You also know that Takasago Makoto is very withdrawn and has always been alone. But just before dawn that day, the patrolling soldiers discovered that Takasago Makoto was riding a bicycle from outside. "
"No cross-examination?"
"No, many people know him and are unwilling to talk to him."
"So, Takasago Makoto is the one with the biggest suspicion." Meng Shaoyuan said thoughtfully: "He sent workers to keep vigil, and then he rushed to the scene, opened the warehouse, transferred the gold to the contract, and then killed four more workers.
By the way, how did the laborer die?"
"Poisoned to death."
Meng Shaoyuan said "Oh" and continued to analyze: "It's completely conceivable. After he finished all this, he rushed back and it was almost dawn, and he happened to meet a patrolling soldier."
His mind was spinning rapidly. Judging from what Yutaro Doi said to him just now, they did not report this matter to the country: "Why has the country never known about it?"
Sure enough, he guessed correctly. Yutaro Doi said with some embarrassment: "After all, this is a scandal that happened in Sumalaga. Once it is reported to the country, many people will be implicated.
We also sat together and cross-examined Makoto Takasago, but he denied everything and we even had a heated argument. Although we suspected that he did it, we had no conclusive evidence.
Another thing that is very suspicious is that when we asked him why he didn't come back until almost dawn that day, Takasago was very resistant. He said that it was his private matter and there was no need to report it to us."
Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "Takasago Makoto is also from the Yamayuri Association. He actually did not report such a major theft case to the organization."
"This is the result of a compromise between Mizushima-kun and him." Yutaro Doi sighed: "Once the investigation begins, the entire Sumalaga will fall into chaos, and Takasago Makoto will not be immune either.
Although he is a weird and inhumane guy, he still understands this truth. Therefore, he acquiesced to this plan."
"So, you were a little panicked when you saw me coming?" Meng Shaoyuan thought about something: "Are you worried that Takasago Makoto will regret it afterwards, bite you back, and tell the country that it was you?"
"Yes, this is what we are worried about." Yutaro Doi said frankly: "We have a clear conscience, but it is difficult for us to imagine what Takasago Makoto will do.
