Chapter 20: Strangulation
Just as Xu Chengyan was looking around in the living room, Akiyama and Asano also drove away the troublemakers, closed the courtyard door tightly, and returned to the house.
Xu Chengyan saw two people walking back from above through the window, time was pressing, he didn't dare to delay more, looked left and right, trying to find a suitable hiding place.
However, although the room was large, it was difficult to find a place to hide.
Suddenly, Xu Chengyan's eyes looked at the window, which was large and wide, much larger than the windows of ordinary houses, especially the low rim.
The curtains that accompanied it were also very large, and the thick and heavy curtains were drawn and hung on both sides of the windows, fluffy and fluffy in bunches, and dragged long on the ground.
Xu Chengyan's eyes lit up, this is a good place to hide, and the position of the curtain is just behind the side of the main sofa, if you attack, the position is very good.
At this time, the sound of footsteps on the stairs outside came, Xu Chengyan no longer hesitated, stepped forward quickly, hid behind the loose curtains, carefully adjusted the curtains appropriately, checked up and down, confirmed that the whole body was covered tightly, quickly held his breath, and waited quietly.
The footsteps outside came to a halt at the door, the door was pushed open, and Akiyama walked in, took another look around the house, nodded in satisfaction, and then turned around and left.
Soon it was the appointed time, and there was a knock on the door of the courtyard, and Asano opened the courtyard door when he heard the sound, and it was Han Zhirong who arrived as promised.
Asano let him in, and like the previous times, he took Han Zhirong into the hall and went up the stairs, entered the living room on the second floor, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and said, "The team leader will be here soon, please wait!" ”
Han Zhirong hurriedly nodded in agreement, watched Asano leave, and then came to the sofa and sat down, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
His mood today is quite complicated, since he was secretly arrested by the Japanese, and killed his old boss, Han Zhirong has been trembling, difficult to sleep, this kind of day is really tormenting, he is looking forward to the end of the matter sooner or later, his family fled from here, incognito, went to Beiping to start a new life, and it is better to live this day in fear.
Just when he was suffering from gains and losses, the footsteps outside the door sounded again, and Han Zhirong hurriedly cleaned up his mood, cheered up, and stood up.
The room was pushed open, and Masao Yoshioka, dressed in civilian clothes, stepped in, and behind him was the sturdy and tall guard Yokoyama.
As soon as Yoshioka Masao saw Han Zhirong, he smiled and gestured, "Han San, it seems that you have good news to tell me today, right?" ”
The two of them had just met two days ago, and today Han Zhirong had an urgent request to see him, and Yoshioka Masao knew that there must be something important, and he already felt that it was very likely that someone from the military command had appeared.
Han Zhirong saluted respectfully and said with a smile: "There is indeed an important situation report. ”
Speaking of this, his eyes looked at Yokoyama on the side, not knowing whether to continue or not.
Yoshioka Masao understood what he meant, turned his head to Yokoyama, and Yokoyama quickly bowed and retreated, closed the door as usual, and stood in front of the door with his hands down, waiting for Yoshioka Masao's call at any time.
Yoshioka Masao motioned for Han Zhirong to sit down, and he came to the sofa of the main seat to sit down, and Han Zhirong sat down cautiously opposite.
"Tell me your good news!" Masao Yoshioka said with a smile.
Han Zhirong said respectfully: "Your judgment is very accurate, just this morning, I received an order from the military commander to wake me up!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Yoshioka Masao straightened up all of a sudden, leaned forward, and asked urgently, "Are you sure they are ready to wake you up?" ”
Han Zhirong handed the newspaper in his hand to Yoshioka Masao, nodded and said, "Yes, the time is three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, in the north of the city, on East Fourth Street, there is a Hongdachang leather store." ”
"Very good!" Yoshioka Masao high-fived and smiled, from the beginning of laying Han Zhirong's bait, he had been waiting for a long time for this day, and now he was finally about to gain something.
"Han Sang, you have done a good job, I will immediately arrange for someone to monitor the Hongdachang leather goods store, after the matter is completed, I promised you that the conditions will be fulfilled immediately, and immediately arrange for your family to leave Taiyuan and go to Beiping to settle down."
"Thank you for your attention!"
Han Zhirong hurriedly thanked him again and again, but he was not steady, he always felt that this meeting would not be easy, and couldn't help but ask again: "I don't know if Jiang San I mentioned to you last time, have you conducted an investigation here?" I'm afraid that his death is related to the military commander, if it was really the military commander's doing, why did they kill Jiang San? Then it's not easy. ”
When Yoshioka Masao heard this, he said with a smile: "Han San, I appreciate your style of doing things, there is no big mistake in being careful, and there is no harm in being thoughtful."
According to the forensic examination, Jiang San had no external injuries on his body, and there was a lot of alcohol in his stomach, especially the water in his lungs, and there was mud and sand in his mouth and nose, which showed that he was alive before he fell into the water, and they gave the judgment that he was drowning because of excessive drinking, and I think this was an accident. ”
Generally speaking, if the deceased had been killed and thrown into the river, he would have stopped breathing before falling into the water, so there would be no water in the lungs, no breathing in the mouth and nose, and no sediment invading.
Yoshioka Masao's words made Han Zhirong's heart relaxed, so it seems that his spirit was too nervous during this time, and some plants and trees were all soldiers, so this meeting should not be a big problem.
Yoshioka Masao had also suspected the cause of Jiang San's death before, and it wasn't until the Criminal Investigation Department of the police station ruled out the cause of his death that he was relieved, otherwise he would have taken action a long time ago.
At this time, he was just opening his mouth to speak, when he heard a knock on the door, and he frowned, he knew that Yokoyama had been guarding the door, and there were no special circumstances, so he would never dare to interrupt his conversation without authorization, so he said, "Come in!" ”
The door was pushed open, and Yokoyama walked in briskly.
"What's going on?" Masao Yoshioka asked.
Yokoyama hurriedly reported: "Team leader, something is not quite right, I heard movement downstairs, and Asano and Akiyama don't know where to go." ”
Yokoyama was able to become Yoshioka Masao's bodyguard, not only because he was outstanding and a good karate, but also because he was sensitive and observant.
He guarded the door for a long time, and after a while, he realized that something was wrong, Akiyama and Asano, who had been waiting nearby, had not appeared since they were led into the back door this time, and now he heard some noises again, and immediately came to report to Masao Yoshioka.
Yoshioka Masao was stunned when he heard this, and quickly ordered, "You go down and take a look." ”
Yokoyama was a little hesitant when he heard this, but he still nodded his head and took the order, turned around and walked down the stairs quickly, and soon there was an angry roar, followed by the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, obviously there was an intruder downstairs.
Yoshioka Masao and Han Zhirong were both surprised, and sure enough, an assassin broke in, but they didn't expect that the location where the two of them met would be leaked, allowing the opponent to find this loophole.
Everyone who does intelligence work is extremely suspicious, and Yoshioka Masao immediately looked at Han Zhirong, could it be that this person is turning against the water?
But what made him suspicious was that Han Zhirong on the other side looked frightened, looked straight at him, and at the same time raised his hand to his back, opening his mouth to shout.
But a cold light shot out from behind him, and I saw a sharp dagger stuck straight into Han Zhirong's throat, and the powerful force hit Han Zhirong's neck backwards, nailing him to the sofa behind him.
"Ahh
Before Masao Yoshioka could turn around to check, he felt the wind behind him, and his neck ached, and he had been wrapped in a rope.
Yoshioka Masao was frightened, he never expected that someone had been ambushed in this room for a long time, and he would suddenly attack behind him.
He hurriedly raised his hand to block the entanglement of the rope, because he knew that as long as he could survive his breath, Yokoyama would rush back to rescue him, and this was his only chance to escape.
But the movement of the person behind him was too fast, and at the same time as Yoshioka Masao raised his hand, the rope quickly circled, firmly locking Yoshioka Masao's neck and twisting it hard!
"Whew...... ...... Masao Yoshioka's throat made a dull sound, and he tried to grab the attacker's arm with his hands, but with all his strength, the big strong hands, as if they were made of iron, did not move, but the force became stronger and stronger, and the rope around his neck became tighter and tighter.
"Uh......"
Yoshioka Masao only felt congested and swollen, his head seemed to be about to be torn apart, his mind was even more blank, and his body twitched strongly.
But it was all in vain, and despite all his struggles, as time passed, his strength became weaker and weaker, and blood overflowed from the corners of his eyes, mouth and nose, and soon his consciousness fell silent in the darkness, until his breath was gone, and there was no sign of any more.
Xu Chengyan was on one knee behind the sofa, holding the rope tightly in his hand, calculating the time in his heart, until he saw Yoshioka Masao's neck crooked, slumped softly, and kicked the foot on the coffee table in front of him, and the amplitude became smaller and smaller, until he was motionless, and then slowly loosened the rope.
At this moment, he knew that Masao Yoshioka, the criminal spy leader, had finally died in his own hands, and he felt indescribable relief in his heart.
At this time, he looked at Han Zhirong opposite, the other party was also unconscious, his body was paralyzed on the sofa, and he was obviously powerless.
Solve two targets at once, and the assassination operation is finally complete!
At this moment, the sound of fighting downstairs stopped, Xu Chengyan was shocked, he saw the guard Hengshan before, and knew that this person must be extraordinary, definitely a difficult character, so he has been hiding behind the curtain, not daring to shoot easily.
Because he wasn't sure he could kill the two targets in the house in an instant without using a gun, he kept waiting for his chance.
It wasn't until Yokoyama found out that something was wrong and left that he shot to kill the target, at this time Yokoyama must have been entangled with Ji Yun, and now the sound of the fight has stopped, and he doesn't know what the result will be.
He didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly jumped forward, rushed out of the door, jumped directly down the stairs on the second floor, and as soon as his feet fell to the ground, he saw that the hall on the first floor was already in a mess.
Broken tables, chairs, and fragments of decorative magnets were scattered all over the place, and in the middle of the hall, Hengshan had his back to Xu Chengyan, his huge body was pressing tightly on Ji Yun's body, and his hands were pinching Ji Yun's neck.
And Ji Yun was lying on the ground at this time, obviously helpless, unable to make a sound in his mouth, his hands tried to break Hengshan's hand, and struggled hard......
Xu Chengyan quickly moved forward, picked up the dagger that Ji Yun had dropped on the ground, and pounced on it with a fit, his right hand stabbed violently, and the sharp dagger penetrated Hengshan's neck at a very fast speed, and at the same time twisted hard!
"Ah......h
The major artery in his neck was severed, and a stream of blood shot out like a fountain, and Yokoyama was caught off guard, and let out a painful scream from his mouth, covering his neck with both hands, and his body slanted forward, and fell to the ground.
Xu Chengyan didn't step forward, watching Hengshan struggle in pain on the ground, the blood was rapidly and massively lost, and the movements became smaller and smaller, until he was silent and completely out of breath.
Only then did he pull Ji Yun up from the ground, at this time Ji Yun no longer had any strength, and the fight with Hengshan was really difficult, he suffered several heavy blows, and the muscles and muscles in his body were unbearable, he could only lean against the wall and raise his head slightly to signal upstairs.
Xu Chengyan knew what he meant, nodded and said, "Don't worry, both of them are solved!" ”
When Ji Yun heard this, his mind suddenly slackened, his body softened, and he slid down against the wall, almost lying on the ground again.
Xu Chengyan hurriedly grabbed him, and joked with a smile: "Don't you often say that one can beat ten, how can you just beat a few!" ”
"Shit! Just this one, there are more than ten on the top! Ji Yun said angrily.
He is also a master of fighting, and when he attacked Akiyama and Asano, he didn't have to make much effort to solve it, but while carrying the corpse, he knocked over a vase, which alarmed Yokoyama.
The two sides fought each other, Hengshan's skills were too strong, Ji Yun was really not an opponent, he was holding his breath, and he was holding his breath and buying more time for his companions, so that he could be entangled with Hengshan for so long, it can be said that he has done his best.
Just when they were slackening, they heard the sound of pushing the door, followed by a rush of footsteps, and the two of them were startled and looked at each other.
"There's one more!"
"The driver!"
Originally, it was planned to deal with the driver after sweeping the tail, but he didn't expect him to rush in by himself at this time.
Xu Chengyan's figure flickered, and he hurried towards the stairs, when a figure ran out of the back door corridor, which was the driver who had been guarding the back door.
Yokoyama and Ji Yun fought in the hall for a long time, things were smashed in a mess, and the movement was really not small, especially the last roar, which still alarmed the driver, he felt wrong, and was anxious about the safety of Yoshioka Masao, so he broke in.
At this time, he held a southern pistol in his hand, his eyes swept over the hall, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was immediately frightened, and was about to raise his hand to shoot.
But Xu Chengyan, who was far away, shook his hand, and the flying tiger claw in his hand swept by, and the three sharp steel claws tightly hooked the driver's wrist and pulled hard.
"Ah......h
The southern pistol fell to the ground, and the driver covered his bloody right wrist with his left hand and let out a scream.
Xu Chengyan pounced, the flying tiger claw shook his hand and flew out again, the rope trembled, and the cold light of the steel claw flashed, and it was put on the driver's arm, wrapped around twice and then took it into his arms.
The driver's body involuntarily planted Xu Chengyan, Xu Chengyan greeted him at the same time, and while his foothold was not stable, a punch from the bottom up, hit the driver's jaw softly, and hit the driver's neck back and fell to the ground.
The rope was wrapped around the neck again, strangled hard, and in a short time, the driver followed in the footsteps of Masao Yoshioka, and he could no longer make a sound!
