In early summer, at noon, when the sun is high, the sun is sparing no effort to radiate light and heat, as if it wants to dry everything on the ground. The afternoon sun seemed to have weight, squeezing the hurried passers-by on the street. The sweat that comes out is immediately dried, leaving only sweat stains on the skin. The streets were bustling with people, and although it was already lunch time, passers-by were still in a hurry to make a living. On a street that is not considered a main road, a middle-aged man in his early thirties in a lake-colored robe is walking forward.

He kept wiping his sweat with his handkerchief and looked at the house numbers of the buildings around him from time to time, as if looking for an address. There are not many pedestrians on this street, and the houses on the street are basically some shops, such as Chinese medicine shops, shaving shops and small restaurants, everything looks no different from ordinary days, and it seems very normal.

Ryuichi Kadokawa is cautious, this is Nanjing, the capital of the Nationalist Government, he is not the first time to come to this city, but he must be careful in case of accidents. As a veteran agent, an accident can often mean the end of your life.

According to the instructions given by the head of the Shanghai headquarters before departure, this Chinese medicine shop at No. 19 Chengxian Street was his first joint location. In fact, he had already seen the Chinese medicine shop from a distance through the house number, but he did not rush to the joint, but slowly paced and pretended to be unfamiliar to observe the surrounding environment to see if there was anything abnormal.

The agreed time for the joint was 12 o'clock at noon, and out of caution, Kadokawa Ryuichi arrived here half an hour early, which was his usual style, and he was very careful every time he connected with the latent group. This is the discipline that must be followed in intelligence work, and it is also the most important reason why he has been able to mix for many years and eventually become a senior agent.

Chengxian Street is not a very prosperous area, but the small vendors who set up stalls along the road have almost put their business in the middle of the road, leaving only a narrow road with the occasional rickshaw dangling in the narrow road. Two policemen patrolling the streets, armed with wooden batons, were hiding in the only shade and snorting paper cigarettes, from time to time dusting off the defeated locust rice that had fallen on them, and at the same time looking at the women on the street, their eyes were savage and bold. All this in front of him made Kadokawa Ryuichi suddenly a little restless, although there was no cicada chirping, Kadokawa Ryuichi's eardrums were full of irritable noise.

The Chinese medicine shop at 19 Shing Yin Street is a two-storey old-fashioned building, and the ground floor is where Chinese medicine practitioners sit and take medicine. On the exterior wall of the second floor, there was a banner hanging on it, with four big characters hanging on it, and a few windows were opened next to it, which should be the room where the owner of the pharmacy lived and lived.

On the edge of the windowsill in the middle of the three windows, there is a small pot of pink moonflowers, which is a code sign that everything is normal, indicating that there are no safety issues at this joint location. Kadokawa Ryuichi saw this pot of flowers from a distance, and his vigilance in his heart was slightly reduced, this code was known when he was instructed in Shanghai, and it seemed that everything was normal here, and it could be connected.

Ryuichi Kadokawa then took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was 11:55, and there were still 5 minutes left before the joint time. He began to quicken his pace, adjusted to his normal walking speed, and walked towards the Chinese medicine shop. Suddenly, the situation suddenly changed! I only heard a 'clang', and the pot of moon flowers on the window sill on the second floor of the pharmacy was pushed down to the street and smashed to pieces, and then a person jumped from the window where the flower pot was originally placed, and after getting up, he limped to the other direction of Chengxian Street.

The windows on the second floor weren't too high, but they were still easy to get hurt if they jumped from above, and the person who jumped from the building looked like he had broken his foot. At this time, more than a dozen people in civilian clothes poured out of the shop opposite the Chinese medicine shop and the Chinese medicine shop, chasing the person who jumped off the building with pistols, shouting while chasing: "Stop! "Two of them were chasing after him so fast that he was about to catch up with the man who had fled.

The man who ran away was not running fast due to his foot injury, and he looked back at the pursuers behind him, knowing that he probably couldn't escape because of his foot injury. So he grabbed a pair of scissors from a street stall and waved them with his backhand, just as he stabbed the scissors into the arm of one of the pursuers who was reaching out to grab the back of his clothes. The pursuer let out a scream, and he was stabbed in the right hand by the scissors, and the pistol fell to the ground for a moment.

Just as the fleeing man went to pick up the pistol that had been dropped on the ground, another pursuer arrived, and without hesitation, kicked at the man who was picking up the gun. The man who escaped was very fast, and as soon as he picked up the gun, he immediately rolled to the side, raising his hand to shoot at the pursuer who had just kicked him. 'Bang' a gunshot, the opponent's figure paused, and then fell down with a bang, this shot was very accurate, directly hitting the heart.

The more than a dozen people chasing after hearing the gunshots immediately dispersed as if they had heard an order and began to look for a hiding place. The man in front of him with a foot wound fired two more shots, first killing the person who was stabbed with scissors not far away, and then dragged the injured leg and shot in the back while continuing to run forward. As soon as the shots rang out, all the pedestrians on the street began to scream and took refuge in the shops on both sides of the street to avoid being hit by stray bullets.

Ryuichi Kadokawa was no exception, as soon as the pot of moon flowers fell from the window to the ground, he stopped and prepared to enter the nearest shop. He understood that there was something wrong with this joint, and that he had to make his actions look like they had nothing to do with it, and that this was a way to protect himself. At this time, if he immediately reflexively walked away, it would be too conspicuous, and it would be easy to attract the attention and suspicion of those who cared about it, and walking into a shop on the street should be a normal behavior that can be explained, and he must hide his identity.

So when he heard the continuous gunshots in the street, he also squatted on the ground with a frightened face like everyone else in the shop. This is the reaction of ordinary people when they encounter a sudden shootout, and he must do this if he wants to hide his identity. Although he was anxious to know how was going outside, he couldn't reach out to check on himself in order to protect himself.

At this time, there was no one else on the street except for the two sides of the firefight, and the gunfight was fierce, and the gunshots rang out one after another. After less than a few minutes, the gunfire suddenly stopped, and the people hiding in the shops on both sides of the street still did not dare to come out, and no one dared to go out to inquire about the situation at this time. Kadokawa Ryuichi was secretly terrified, it was obvious that this joint location had been mastered by the enemy, and he had even taken control of the Chinese medicine shop and set a trap waiting to capture the people who came to the joint.

Takaichi Kadokawa was both sad and puzzled at the moment, his mission to Nanjing was a very confidential matter, why did the enemy know the news so accurately? What's going on here? Ryuichi Kadokawa's heart was in a mess at this time, and he had no clue at all, so he could only temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart and began to think about how to get out. By this time, the gunfire on the street had stopped for a while, but there was a sound of motorcycle engines and truck brakes.

With the sound of trucks and motorcycles braking, Kadokawa heard the sound of rushing running, and it sounded like there were many people on the street outside. Takashi Kadokawa was bold enough to secretly look out of the window of the store, and after only one look, Takaichi Kadokawa suddenly felt that he was covered in blood and the night seemed to have solidified.

Appearing in the streets were a large number of sturdy men in dark tunics, and Ryuichi Kadokawa, who had fought with the Chinese intelligence services many times in Shanghai, was no stranger to people in such attire, and he knew that these people should be from the military intelligence department of the Nationalist government.

Like the special high school to which he belonged, Kadokawa Ryuichi knew that this military intelligence department was also a secret intelligence department, and the Shanghai headquarters of the special high school department had fought against them several times, and although it was said that it was a heavy loss to suppress the other party.

If the military intelligence department intervened, then there was a normal answer to this sudden change, and the other party should have discovered the joint location from some clues, and controlled it in an attempt to use this bait to catch more fish. Unfortunately, it backfired, and the people in the junction suddenly burst out, not only destroying the signal representing safety, but also luring the surrounding ambush watchers at the cost of their own lives, and warning themselves who almost stepped into the trap.

Kadokawa Ryuichi suddenly felt that his eye sockets were a little itchy, and he reached out to wipe his eye sockets, and a trace of dampness and heat appeared on the tips of his fingers. Soon, a large number of policemen arrived, and under the instructions of some tunics, the hurried policemen began to drive out all the people hiding in the shops on both sides of the street. According to the police's instructions, Ryuichi Kadokawa, like everyone else, honestly stood on the side of the street waiting for questioning and screening.

The streets were full of people waiting to be checked, and more than 20 police officers divided into several groups, starting from the middle of the street, paid attention to checking the documents of these people, and asked a few questions if they were suspicious. "Your credentials!" A voice sounded in front of Takaichi Kadokawa, who subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the other party, sighing that the other party was young At the same time, Ryuichi Kadokawa's heart that had been hanging unconsciously relaxed.

The policeman who appeared in front of Ryuichi Kadokawa looked very young, according to Ryuichi Kadokawa's judgment, this little policeman looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, if it was in Japan, a young man of this age should still be in school. Glancing at this resolute little policeman, Kadokawa Ryuichi did not hesitate at all, but according to the other party's question, he took out his ID and handed it to the other party in a bit of a panic.
