While Yoshioka Masao and Han Zhirong were talking, Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun, who had been guarding outside the residence, were also exchanging opinions.

Xu Chengyan said in a low voice: "The area of this residence is not small, looking at the scale and architecture, it must be a big household, you go to the neighborhood to find out the identity of the resident, I will go to the back to take a turn and see if there is a back door." ”

In the north, the houses of large families generally have more than one gate, and most of them will have a back door or side door at the back of the courtyard for easy access and access.

Xu Chengyan didn't notice it outside the gate, and then he remembered that he might have neglected this, so he and Ji Yun monitored separately.

Ji Yun nodded slightly, and after Xu Chengyan left, he walked towards this residence, he was not in a hurry, pretended to be a pedestrian, and slowly passed by the door of this residence, squinting his eyes and scanning the house number, and secretly wrote it down.

Then he came to a cigarette stall not far away and asked for a box of cigarettes.

Although the area around Wenying Lake is a gathering place for Japanese expatriates, it is only relative to other urban areas, although there are more Japanese, but there are many Chinese living here, and the small cigarette vendors on the street like this are Chinese.

Ji Yun lit a cigarette and took a puff, shook his hand and threw a banknote on the top of the cigarette box, and said, "No need to look for it, brother, I'll ask you something." ”

Seeing the banknotes in front of him, the stall owner's eyes lit up, grabbed the banknotes, and hurriedly agreed: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you can ask casually, as long as I know." ”

"I'm from Jinnan, I can't stand it anymore, I can only come to Taiyuan to join relatives and friends, but this Taiyuan city is too big, I have just arrived, and I have no clue after looking for a long time, I want to inquire, how to get to No. 23 Xiaoweiying Street?"

Ji Yun was originally from Jinnan, and he could hear it in his accent, the stall owner didn't have the slightest suspicion at all, after listening to his words, he couldn't help but smile, looked back and pointed to the house, and said to Ji Yun: "It's really lucky, you are all on the ground, you see, it's that house." ”

But when he said this, his face showed hesitation, and then he lowered his voice, and then asked, "Are you looking for Boss Zhuang?" Relatives of the boss of the village? ”

Obviously, the "Boss Zhuang" in his mouth is the owner of this mansion, Ji Yun heard the words and followed the reason, nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, I am looking for Boss Zhuang, I am his distant cousin." ”

When the stall owner heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head regretfully, owed his body, leaned closer, and continued to whisper: "Sir, you are late, the boss of Zhuang just committed an accident a year ago, and the family was arrested by the Japanese. ”

"What, how could this be!" Ji Yun looked suspicious, "What about this house...?" ”

"My life is gone, and I still care about this? It was swallowed by those officials, and now this banker's compound has fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and you came in vain this time. ”

When Ji Yun heard this, it seemed that the stall owner knew a lot, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know that there are Japanese people living here?" Is it a businessman, or is it a gun? ”

This area is a Japanese expatriate area, and of course there are many Japanese, most of whom are businessmen, but some of them are military personnel.

Ji Yun's words were a little abrupt, and the stall owner couldn't help but hesitate a little, and didn't answer for a while.

Ji Yun handed over another banknote, and the stall owner immediately replied: "Among the people with guns, there is a Japanese who often comes to me to buy cigarettes, and his waist is bulging. ”

After speaking, he turned sideways, stretched out his thumb and index finger, and made a secret gesture, Ji Yun suddenly understood.

"There are only two Japanese living in such a big house?" Ji Yun asked again.

The stall owner nodded and confirmed: "It's just two people, they don't usually go out and rarely show up,"

Xu Chengyan walked through a street, went around a big circle, came to the back of this courtyard, suddenly stopped, and sure enough, he saw a back door, the door face is not big, it is the two door panels of ordinary people's homes, the courtyard door is closed, and it looks inconspicuous.

However, there was a black sedan parked at the door, and in the driver's seat of the sedan was a driver, who was smoking a cigarette and looking around, apparently guarding the vehicle and carrying out guard work.

Xu Chengyan didn't dare to get any closer, found a hidden corner and hid, his eyes were firmly fixed on the back door, he had a hunch that Han Zhirong should be meeting with the owner of this car, just to take a look, who is Han Zhirong in contact with?

The meeting was short, and after a while, the back door opened, one tall and one short, and two men in suits walked out of the courtyard.

The driver started the car, the tall man stepped forward to open the door, stood aside, and the short man behind came to the car, gave a command to the tall man beside him, and then looked back at the yard.

It was this turn around, his face flashed, and suddenly Xu Chengyan, who was hiding in the corner to observe, his nerves were tense all of a sudden, he couldn't believe his eyes, quickly rubbed his eyes, and watched carefully again, and finally confirmed, only to feel that his heart was beating badly, and he couldn't help but be surprised!

Masao Yoshioka! The person who met Han Zhirong turned out to be Masao Yoshioka!

It was really surprising that this notorious Japanese intelligence boss actually appeared here in plain clothes, which made Xu Chengyan react immediately, and a problem that had been bothering him was finally solved.

Seeing Yoshioka Masao's car go away, Xu Chengyan walked out of the corner, no longer lingered, and hurried to meet Ji Yun, the next assassination operation needed to be redesigned.

When Xu Chengyan hurried back to the front door, Ji Yun was also about to leave, and when he saw his companion hurrying over, he spoke first: "Han Zhirong just left, let's follow." ”

"No need, give up the action for the time being, now there is a new situation, let's go back!"

Ji Yun looked at Xu Chengyan in surprise, but didn't ask more, and the two of them turned around and left.

"Aren't you right?"

In Xu Chengyan's residence, Ji Yun looked at his companion in disbelief.

"It must be him!" Xu Chengyan reconfirmed, "I have seen him with my own eyes at the execution ground, and I will never admit my mistake." ”

"Great!" Ji Yun was so excited that he couldn't help but clapped his fists, and said loudly, "It's really in response to that old saying, there is nowhere to find when you step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, this is God helping us!" ”

"No, this is Stationmaster Wang, their heroic souls are immortal, borrow our hands to avenge them!" Xu Chengyan said softly, this discovery made them immediately shift the target to Yoshioka Masao, relatively speaking, Han Zhirong's life and death are insignificant.

Yoshioka Masao, Japan's most harmful intelligence chief in Shanxi Province, the Chinese intelligence officers who died at his hands are simply innumerable, and the Chinese forces of all sides are deeply disgusted and do everything possible to take his life, but despite the heavy casualties, they have not been able to do so.

Before, Xu Chengyan made up his mind to assassinate this fang at any cost, that is, he was mentally prepared to sacrifice at any cost, which shows that he did not have much confidence to be able to complete this extremely difficult operation, but now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him, how can he easily let it go!

Ji Yun opened his mouth and introduced: "According to the information I heard, the owner of No. 23 Xiaowei Camp turned out to be a businessman surnamed Zhuang, just three months ago, the family was captured by the Japanese, the house changed hands, and now there are two Japanese living in it, both are in the early thirties of the prime of life, there are weapons in their hands, they usually don't show up much, rarely deal with people, even with the nearby Japanese expatriates have no contact. ”

"So mysterious?"

Ji Yun then analyzed: "So I judge that this banker's compound is now a safe house set up outside the special high class, and these two people should be agents of the special high class, who are specially responsible for guarding here, and Yoshioka Masao chose to meet Han Zhirong here in order to hide people's eyes." ”

For Ji Yun's judgment, Xu Chengyan completely agreed, he secretly pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Two guards, Yoshioka Masao and Han Zhirong, a guard, plus a driver outside the back door, there are only six people in total, the enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, and I launched an attack by surprise, our chances of victory are very high, even if we can't be completely annihilated, but we are still sure of taking Yoshioka Masao's life. ”

Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun are both vigorous action masters, especially Xu Chengyan, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and has experienced actual combat training in the army, and his martial arts are extremely confident in this operation.

When Ji Yun heard this, his mind was running quickly, and he said: "Even so, the difficulty of assassination is relatively large, first of all, there is a Japanese overseas Chinese area, and there are many Japanese military and political departments around it.

Furthermore, the meeting between Han Zhirong and Yoshioka Masao will not be at night, and if we do it during the day, we will be in greater danger.

Finally, we can't know exactly when Han Zhirong will meet with Masao Yoshioka, and we can't prepare in advance, and when the time comes, if we break through, the chance of success is not great, but we will waste such a good opportunity. ”

Xu Chengyan nodded, what Ji Yun said was indeed very troublesome, the previous three successful assassinations were all carried out in the middle of the night, and one blow was sure to hit, and he immediately withdrew and withdrew, and the difficulty was not as great as this time.

He thought for a moment and said, "It's a little difficult, it's true that it's not the best place to assassinate, but as long as our preparations are meticulous, it's not without opportunities."

First of all, how do you get in? This time is different from the past, since it is not late at night, we want to infiltrate during the day, it is easy to alarm the other party, so I plan to sneak in in advance, ambush them first, and catch them by surprise, in this way, the success rate will be greatly increased, and we can also get out of the way. ”

Ji Yun asked, "Do you need to deal with the two Japanese agents in charge of guarding first?" ”

"No, these two people can't be alarmed," Xu Chengyan waved his hand and said categorically, "I want to keep them to bring in Yoshioka Masao, invite you into the urn, close the door and beat the dog, this is the best policy." ”

"But we're outside, and we don't know what's going on inside, what if we sneak in in broad daylight and run into a square?"

Xu Chengyan stroked his forehead, thought for a moment, and said: "There are only two Japanese agents guarding it, how can we see it thoroughly, we just need to make a little movement, and it is not difficult to sneak in." ”

Ji Yun immediately understood Xu Chengyan's thoughts, and then said: "Since we want to do it in the residence, then we have to figure out the specific structure of the Zhuang family's compound, this residence is not small, what is the layout in the courtyard, its front door and back door, and the distribution of each room, especially to determine which room Yoshioka Masao and Han Zhirong will meet, and where we can hide." ”

Xu Chengyan nodded when he heard this, this is also the homework they must do before each action, when they assassinated Dai Wenshan and Harada Kazuya before, it also took a lot of effort to find out all the circumstances before they sneaked in and succeeded in one blow.

He opened his mouth and said: "This matter is also easy to do, you go to a man who has helped the dealer before, and from his mouth, you will soon be able to ask clearly, it is better to draw a sketch." ”

"Okay, do we need to bring firearms, if the guns go off, we won't be able to get out."

"Bring, try not to use it, but just in case, remember, our safety is secondary, the most important thing is that we must take the life of Yoshioka Masao's dog, even if it is to take our two lives, we will not give up!" Xu Chengyan said solemnly, he has long been psychologically prepared for this, and he will serve the country with enthusiasm, as long as it is worth it, what is the personal sacrifice.

"However, with our skills, we can deal with them even without firearms, as long as we move quickly and don't let them make a noise for a short time, even in the daytime, we can get out of the way."

Ji Yun didn't care about Xu Chengyan's words of comfort at all, his determination to resist Japan and kill the enemy was not under Xu Chengyan, life and death had long been put aside, as long as Xu Chengyan decided, it would be a sea of swords and fire, and he would dare to break through.

At this time, he took a deep breath and said again: "The last question, how to arrange the time for us to sneak in, it can't be too early or too late, we must first determine the time when Yoshioka Masao and Han Zhirong will meet." ”

"Since we can't be sure, let's take the initiative to create this opportunity." Xu Chengyan waved his hand and said, he has always been thoughtful, and this issue has long been considered, "During the period when we monitored Han Zhirong before, he had been acting very normal, but as soon as Jiang San died, Han Zhirong immediately contacted Yoshioka Masao, which means that when an accident occurs, he has to report to Yoshioka Masao, this is our chance to do it." ”

Ji Yun was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Go to the teacher, just when Han Zhirong's identity is clear, we also have to report to the teacher, and we will solve the two things together!"
