The car drove slowly, and the two didn't speak for a long time, until Chu Jiao opened his mouth first.

"Brother Zhao, I won't tell you about his name or something, this is a promise, I have to keep it, I hope you don't have to be careful. As for the future, he will be willing to tell you, that's his business. ”

Zhao Youcai nodded lightly and said, "Master, absolute master." I've always wondered how you can have such good marksmanship, he must have taught you, right? ”

Chu Jiao smiled, did not admit it, and did not deny it.

"This is also my creation, I can learn such a powerful move." Zhao Youcai thought that Chu Jiao had acquiesced, and said with emotion: "Let's both practice hard, this opportunity is too rare, few people will be so lucky." ”

"Well, you really have to practice hard." Chu Jiao seemed to have been hit a little, and her mood was a little low, but she was holding back a lot of energy in her heart, and she was also determined to practice hard.

……………

Infiltrate the New Asia Hotel and bleed the Zodiac into a river.

Although Shen Chen had the guns and ammunition he wanted, as well as a silencer, the preparations were still a lot worse. For example, the room information of the leading figures of the Zodiac in the New Asia Hotel; In case the operation is exposed, how to escape back to the concession and other issues.

Entering the Hongkou district, which has been controlled by the Japanese, and even infiltrating the New Asia Hotel, is an extremely dangerous thing to do in the eyes of many people.

Shen Chen did not deny this, but he also saw the positive side, that is, the vigilance of the enemy and the strictness of the guards must be lacking.

It has been three days since I entered the special patrol, and the information about the Zodiac has gradually increased, some of which have been heard by previous agents, some of whom have heard from new agents, and some who have been transferred from the patrol house of the French Concession.

Shen Chen wrote it down carefully, hoping to obtain valuable information and thus open a breakthrough.

And what Shen Chen thinks is very valuable is the confession of several members of the Zodiac who were captured by the patrol room.

Although they are minions, they provide some physical characteristics of the Zodiac agents, as well as some information about the New Asia Hotel.

Although it was not yet very clear, Shen Chen decided to start from here and suggested to Everett that he disguise himself as a reconnaissance in the area around the Waibaidu Bridge.

Because it was the main passage between the concession and the Hongkou District, it was likely that the agents of the Zodiac Society would enter from there.

Everett accepted Shen Chen's suggestion, assigned him a few team members, and instructed the special patrol team not to dress in the area to paralyze the Zodiac agents.

In fact, although Shen Chen's suggestion is reasonable, the possibility of success is still very small. After all, there are many people who pass through the Waibaidu Bridge every day, and it is very difficult to catch a real person just by relying on the physical characteristics described in the confession.

Despite the difficulties, it should be more rewarding than patrolling in uniform now, right? Everett thought so, and accepted Shen Chen's suggestion.

Shen Chen had patience and perseverance, and when he went to work again, he began to really disguise himself and wander around the Waibaidu Bridge. For two days in a row, there was no harvest, and he was not discouraged. How can it be so easy to wait for the rabbit?

It's just that the turnaround came quickly and suddenly, which made Shen Chen a little suspicious.

That night, when Shen Chen came home from work, Da Mei handed him a thick envelope, saying that it was sent by a young man, but he did not leave his name.

Shen Chen didn't care at first, he sat on the chair in the living room and opened it casually, but his expression immediately became serious.

In the envelope is a stack of photos, the first one is the main entrance of the New Asia Hotel, the meaning is obvious, so there is no need to add more words to explain.

The photos in the back are mostly from the main entrance of the New Asia Hotel, but there are some more characters. There are singles, there are many people; There are fronts, backs, and sides.

There are also two photos of a group of people coming out of the hotel with a fat man in their arms.

In addition to the photo, there was also a small note with an address and a person's name: Yongle Fang, Jing'an Temple Road, President Liu of Hujiang University.

Shen Chen put away the envelope, went upstairs and closed the door, and sat at the table to study it carefully.

This is the Zodiac guys? After Shen Chen looked at the photo, he touched his chin and thought about it.

From the point of view of taking pictures, the photographer should be hiding somewhere opposite the New Asia Hotel, as if it was across the street.

Moreover, not all the portraits in the photos are clear, but there are seven or eight people who can be clearly recognized.

Shen Chen didn't know who gave the clue to the divine side, and he didn't understand why it was given to him. Thinking about it, no matter what the purpose is, it is in line with his intention to fight the Zodiac Society.

Picking up the photo again, Shen Chen looked at it carefully and selected, and in the end, only six or seven were considered valuable. This time, Shen Chen could carefully study the characteristics of the people in the photo and keep it in mind.

Recognizing people and remembering is also one of the training skills of agents, Shen Chen can't be said to be unforgettable, but he has certain skills.

In this way, Shen Chen flipped through and looked at it, and it wasn't until Da Mei called him to eat below that he put away all the photos, put them in a drawer, and prepared to continue when he came back after eating.

After dinner, Shen Chen went upstairs and continued to study the photos and notes.

Shen Chen knows about President Liu of Hujiang University. Because the patrol room received a report from Principal Liu, and put the case under the name of the Zodiac Society, the relevant materials were also sent to the special patrol team.

President Liu holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University, and has served as vice president of the Shanghai YMCA Association, a professor at Daxia University, and then the president of Hujiang University.

After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the chairman of the Shanghai Salvation Association and the head of the Anti-Japanese Federation of Shanghai Universities. Later, he organized the Society for the Study of International Studies, which was actually an underground secret organization that resisted Japan.

The puppet Restoration government was about to be established, Wen Zongyao and Liang Hongzhi came to lure Principal Liu to serve as the Minister of Education of the "Restoration Government", but Liu Yanci refused, and persuaded Liang and Wen to stop being traitors in person, which made Liang and Wen angry and reported Liu's words and deeds to the Japanese.

Since then, the Yongle Fang of Jing'an Temple, where President Liu lives, has been receiving threatening phone calls and a homemade bomb. On one occasion, Liu's family also received a basket of fruits of unknown origin, which was tested by the patrol room and injected with poisonous juice with a needle.

Could it be that the Zodiac will kill Principal Liu, and this will be the breakthrough? Shen Chen struck a match, turned the note into ashes, and fell into deep thought.

……………

Shen Chen had guessed about the origin of the information, but he didn't have time to delve into it. As long as you can fight the Zodiac Society, as long as it is helpful to you, why be suspicious?

Of course, Shen Chen didn't tell Everett about this, but continued to patrol in disguise. But the location quietly changed, and he went to the Yongle Fang of Jing'an Temple and began to pay attention to it.

Yongle Fang Liujia, the station at the intersection of Dahua Road, Hujiang University...... Shen Chen followed Principal Liu, walked the route he took most often, observed the surrounding situation, and judged the most dangerous places.
