Chapter 195 Mission Completed and Double Happiness
"Thank you very much for your hospitality!" Lin Hao said again.
Ikeda Eisuke smiled and said, "That's what I should do!"
"Hashimoto-kun, Mrs. Hashimoto, Sekiya-kun, you must have fun today!"
Lin Hao said: "Mr. Takahashi, Mr. Ikeda, I'm very sorry, I'm actually here to say goodbye to you all!"
"Hmm?" Takahashi Senbei asked doubtfully, "Did Hashimoto-kun encounter any problems?"
Lin Hao said with a sincere smile: "I am going to Hong Kong to expand the channels of sulfanilamide and bring back more sulfanilamide to serve our Big Island Empire!"
Louis, who was watching from the side, had a gleam in his eyes. He really underestimated this small businessman! He could actually get sulfa, but he didn't know through what channel he got it!
"Oh, Hashimoto-kun is truly the best businessman in our Oshima Empire!" Takahashi Senbei said praisingly.
Then he picked up the cup and said, "Come on, I wish our Hashimoto-kun a safe journey, may all his wishes come true, and may he bring back more sulfa!"
"Cheers to the Empire!"
"Cheers!" Everyone cheered again.
After seeing Ikeda drink the second glass of wine, Lin Hao's face flushed. While serving wine to everyone, he said to Ikeda Eisuke:
"Before I leave, I have something I want to ask of you, Mr. Ikeda!"
Upon hearing this, Eisuke Ikeda said in confusion:
"Oh, is there anything I can help you with? Just tell me, Hashimoto-kun!"
"After I leave Shanghai, Guan Gu-kun will support the restaurant's work. The supply of ingredients for our restaurant will depend on Ikeda-san's help!"
Eisuke Ikeda said: "Hashimoto-kun is too polite, don't worry! These are all small things!"
Lin Hao raised his glass again and said, "I'll toast you one last time!"
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
After drinking, Eisuke Ikeda felt a little dry in the mouth and asked the waiter to give him a glass of water.
When Lin Hao saw that Ikeda Eisuke had reacted after drinking the wine, he stopped pouring wine for him and looked at Zuo Qiuming and said:
"Sekiya-kun, what are you standing there for? From now on, our business will depend on Ikeda-san to take care of it. You should also toast to Ikeda-san!"
"Hi!" Zuo Qiuming also picked up the bottle to pour wine for Ikeda Eisuke, but found that there was no wine left. The waiter next to him immediately brought a bottle and took back the empty bottle.
After Zuo Qiuming poured wine for Ikeda, he raised his glass and said with a smile:
"From now on, I'll rely on Ikeda-san's care! Cheers!"
"Cheers!" Ikeda said and drank another glass.
Lin Hao said to everyone:
"Takahashi-san, Ikeda-san, I'll take my leave now!"
At the same time, he said to Zuo Qiuming: "Guan Gujun, you will accompany everyone in my place!"
"goodbye!"
"Have a good trip!" everyone said afterwards.
After leaving Eisuke Ikeda's house, Lin Hao asked Sayuri to drive him to the airport. If he played his cards right, he could avoid many problems in the future.
The only thing I feel a little bit regretful about is that I was not able to find out Louis’ name, so I can’t guess which world I’m in right now!
After arriving at the airport, Lin Hao saw that Sayuri wanted to see him off to the plane, so he said to her:
"Lily, you don't have to see me off. The plane is about to take off. I will be back in one day at the earliest and three days at the slowest!"
"Hai Yi!"
Although she really wanted to get out of the car to see Lin Hao off and watch him get on the plane with her own eyes, Sayuri chose to obey out of her obedience to men.
Then Lin Hao boarded a plane to Hong Kong!
After arriving in Hong Kong, Lin Hao first went to Leisen Trading Company to inspect the company's operations. In just half a year, the company had made a profit of more than 60 US dollars.
At the same time, he reviewed the company's finances and, after making sure there were no major problems, instructed Chen Minzhang to prepare 300 boxes of sulfa drugs and send them to Shanghai in two batches.
Then we found He Youchen and Sha Liang and examined their writing skills.
Finally, Lin Hao decided to let Chen Minzhang send He Youchen to the Daying Empire to study.
As for Sha Liang, after comprehensive consideration, Lin Hao bought him a house and then prepared to arrange him into the Hong Kong police force to become a Chinese police officer, and asked Chen Minzhang to smooth things over for him.
Later on, Lin Hao will send some people over to enrich the team here. He is ready to arrange people for black, white and gray.
After leaving the company, Lin Hao came to Sing Tao Newspaper. After Lin Hao's last instruction, the circulation of the newspaper had exceeded 2000 copies, and it was able to make a profit just by distributing newspapers.
In the early morning, Lin Hao and Zuo Qiuming sent a telegram, asking him to deliver a message to Takahashi Senbei before eight o'clock in the morning.
After sending the telegram, Lin Hao was about to put away the radio, but he unexpectedly received a call sign.
After translating the code, Lin Hao quickly packed up his things and headed straight for the open sea.
next day
At seven o'clock in the morning, Zuo Qiuming came to Nakajima Company and met Takahashi Senbei.
"Takahashi-san, the president sent me a message and asked me to bring you a message!"
"What message did Hashimoto-kun ask you to bring? Tell me!"
"200 boxes of sulfa, % premium, settled in gold or US dollars!" Zuo Qiuming added: "This is what Leisen Company requires!"
Takahashi was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, thinking that he was going to make a fortune this time.
Currently, sulfa drugs are in short supply and the price has been rising, but not many people can get them. Unexpectedly, Taro Hashimoto gave him another surprise.
So he asked, "Hashimoto-kun is amazing. He was able to get 200 boxes with only a % premium!"
Takahashi didn't know how much money Hashimoto could make from this deal, but Taro Hashimoto was definitely a capable man.
So he decided to make Hashimoto his friend and was ready to bring him into their core circle.
Takahashi said happily: "So I will buy all the sulfonamides. Please tell Hashimoto-kun that I will celebrate for him when he comes back!"
"Hi!"
Two hours after Zuo Qiuming left, Takahashi Senbei received a call: Eisuke Ikeda was dead!
"Baga! Ikeda-kun was fine yesterday, why did he suddenly die?!"
The voice on the phone explained: "It should be caused by drunkenness!"
"No one is allowed to touch Ikeda-kun's body. I'll be there right away!" After saying this, Takahashi Senbei asked someone to bring a doctor and immediately rushed to Ikeda's house.
Today was a mixed bag of joy and sorrow. It was supposed to be a very happy day to make a lot of money, but who would have thought that Ikeda would suddenly die.
When they arrived at Ikeda's house, they found that Ikeda's body was stiff, so they said to the doctor:
"Check the cause of Ikeda-kun's death to see if he was poisoned!" "Hey!"
After the doctor examined the body, he wrote a death certificate and said to Takahashi:
"Eisuke Ikeda did die of poisoning, but it was alcohol poisoning caused by excessive drinking!"
Gao Qiao frowned and asked, "Alcohol poisoning, are you sure you weren't poisoned?"
The doctor replied: "I have checked, the cause of death is alcohol poisoning, Ikeda's body has no other poisoning reactions!"
However, Ikeda could drink quite a lot, so he asked if someone else had forced him to drink.
"After the banquet yesterday, was there anything unusual about Ikeda-kun?"
The servant said, "After the party, Ikeda-san felt a little dizzy and nauseous, so we helped him back to his room!"
"It seems that Eisuke Ikeda has been poisoned by alcohol at this time!" Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately concluded: These are all signs of alcohol poisoning.
Gao Qiao sighed when he heard this, and asked again unwillingly:
"Has anyone ever broken in?"
"No, our people have been protecting President Ikeda! We didn't notice anyone breaking in!"
It seems that Eisuke Ikeda's death was indeed an accident. I should not have let him drink so much alcohol.
Thinking about yesterday, Ikeda accepted all the toasts from everyone, and Takahashi could only shake his head and sigh!
However, as a loyal warrior of the empire, he must never die of drunkenness.
Thinking about Ikeda's mission this time, he died while mapping hydrological maps for the Navy's Red Deer and helping them find a landing site!
So Takahashi Senbei tore up the medical report and said to the doctor:
"Open a new autopsy report. The general meaning is that Ikeda-kun died of a sudden illness caused by excessive fatigue. You are an expert in this area. Do you understand?"
"Hi!" The doctor immediately went back to rewrite the death certificate.
Then Gao Qiao looked at the servant again, and the servant immediately said:
"Ikeda-kun has been working overtime every day recently. He is very tired and very hard-working!"
Then he said to his deputy:
"Go back and write a report, along with Ikeda's death identification, and submit it to the Army Department, suggesting that the coastal hydrological survey work be done by the Sea Deer themselves!"
"Hi!"
The blame has been shifted, but he still feels a little sorry for Ikeda. This is all he can do for Ikeda-kun!
At noon, went to the Shanghai District Secret Service Department.
Gu Shenyan and Song Mian came to Wang Shian’s office!
Gu Shenyan said happily: "Stationmaster, Ikeda Eisuke is dead!"
Wang Shian was stunned and said in disbelief: "Dead! So soon!"
“Hahahaha!” Wang Shian laughed excitedly, and then exclaimed: “This Xiao Lin is reliable!”
"By the way, how did Eisuke Ikeda die?"
Seeing no one answer, Wang Shian looked at Gu Shenyan, and Gu Shenyan looked at Song Mian, and Song Mian said awkwardly:
"Uh~! I'm not sure about that. The islanders are very strict about keeping it a secret. All we know is that he died at home!"
"As soon as I get the news, I'll come back to inform you and Deputy Station Master Gu!"
"Why are you so impatient?" Thinking that this task was in charge of Lin Hao, Wang Shian asked:
"So, what about Captain Lin? Let him come to my office! I'll ask him directly~ No, I want to reward him!"
"Captain Lin, whereabouts unknown!" Seeing Wang Shian looking at him, Song Mian hurriedly continued:
"Yesterday, Captain Lin brought a woman and a man into Nakajima Trading Company. About an hour later, Captain Lin and the woman left early and then disappeared!"
"And that man also left on foot after the party!"
Gu Shenyan said at this time:
"It shouldn't be that he's missing. Captain Lin is always meticulous in his work. I think he's afraid someone is watching him, or for some other reason, so he hasn't shown up!"
Wang Shian nodded unconsciously. Based on his understanding of Lin Hao, it was indeed true!
It seems that I can only wait for Lin Hao to come back and ask him about the details!
However, what they didn't know was that Lin Hao had already returned to Shanghu, but he had returned to Chen Jiaying's villa.
"What do you think we should do?" Chen Jiaying asked worriedly.
Facing Chen Jiaying's questions, Lin Hao felt overwhelmed. It was all his fault that he had been too self-indulgent some time ago!
I received a telegram from Lan Xinjie last night and found out that she was pregnant. So I ran to the open sea in the middle of the night and flew straight to Jinling by myself.
After sneaking back home, I saw Lan Xinjie who was suffering from morning sickness. It took a while of comforting her to calm her down.
After spending a few hours with Lan Xinjie, he hurriedly flew back to Shanghai before dawn this morning.
I originally wanted to tell Chen Jiaying that I would stay in Jinling during this period of time, but who would have thought that Chen Jiaying also told me a good news that she was also pregnant!
How could it be such a coincidence that they all came together as soon as they got pregnant? Is this a double happiness? It would be better if you two were separated for a while! Lin Hao reflected on himself.
But after all, he had experienced several worlds, so he still had some self-control. He stroked Chen Jiaying's belly with his hand and said:
"What else can we do? Give birth to the child! He is the witness of our love!"
Chen Jiaying frowned: "What about our identities?"
The fact that they are not in the same camp determines their different identities. If they want to get married openly, the road will probably be bumpy.
"Go to Hong Kong. You will take over my Leisen Company. All the quotas for sulfa drugs will be given to you. With this title, I think it should be no problem to transfer you there!"
Chen Jiaying sighed: "That's all we can do!"
Although she had never thought about marrying Lin Hao before, when the time really came, how could she not feel regretful?
So Lin Hao made some arrangements. As long as Chen Jiaying got approval from her superiors, Lin Hao would send her to Hong Kong. As for Hong Kong being occupied in the future, the child would be a few years old by then. At worst, he could send her to Milijian.
Lin Hao then returned to the Secret Service, came to Wang Shian’s office, and submitted the assassination mission to him.
Wang Shian asked happily: "Brother, tell me how this Ikeda Eisuke died!"
Wang Shian was very confused. How come Lin Hao went in for just one hour and Ikeda Eisuke died the next day?
"Haha, how else could he die? He drank too much and died of drunkenness!" Lin Hao responded to Wang Shian's question with a smile.
Of course Lin Hao would not tell Wang Shian that it was methanol poisoning. The initial symptoms of methanol poisoning and ethanol poisoning are very similar. 30 milliliters can kill an adult.
The key is that the incubation period of methanol poisoning is 2 to 24 hours. But when methanol and ethanol are taken together, the incubation period reaches 8 to 36 hours, and it is difficult to detect methanol in this era.
Facing Lin Hao's avoidance of the topic, Wang Shian did not delve into it. There was no need to make a fuss over such a small matter. So he said:
"Okay, then write a report and I'll give you credit. You've done a great job this time!"
"It has been written a long time ago. It's here!" Lin Hao said as he took out the report.
"Stationmaster, I'm going to leave first! Takahashi Senbei is going to treat me to a meal!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Shian looked at Lin Hao in surprise, knowing that Lin Hao was making another plan. However, this was a good thing, just like this mission, it was simply too comfortable.
The assassination mission that was just assigned the day before was completed overnight. This was something that made him proud in front of his superiors!
"Okay, go ahead. If you need any help from the station, just let me know. I will definitely do my best to help you!"
After Lin Hao left, he came to the place where Takahashi Senbei had agreed to meet, the MGM nightclub. Why did it look so familiar?
