It's been more than four hours!

Zhao Youcai glanced at his watch, feeling a little anxious.

The place where he stopped and waited now was already some distance away from the place where Shen Chen crossed the river.

Therefore, he felt that it was possible that he might not be able to see the specific situation on the other side, and he would not be able to see when Shen Chen would cross the river again.

Zhao Youcai turned his gaze to the other side of the river again, and he had to see it if he couldn't see it clearly, there were no flickering lights and piercing gunshots.

Although Zhao Youcai admired and believed in Shen Chen's skills, for such a long time, he was acting alone, and it was difficult to ensure that he was not worried and cranky.

A figure suddenly appeared in the rearview mirror, unhurried, walking towards the car.

Trench coats, top hats? Zhao Youcai frowned and looked away.

Shen Chen walked to the car, knocked on the window glass, opened the door and sat in.

Zhao Youcai saw Shen Chen who took off his top hat clearly, was stunned for a moment, and then started the car, but did not ask much.

When the inflatable inner tube ran out, it was cut by Shen Chen with a dagger and thrown into the river to let it float and sink. Even the pistol used to kill people, Shen Chen was thrown into the river after crossing the river.

From the beginning to the end, there was no time when it was necessary to use both guns, which allowed Shen Chen to save one of the Luger pistols.

Destroying evidence, this may not be absolutely necessary, but it is Shen Chen's habit. The previous murder weapon was also disposed of, anyway, he was not too worried about the source of the gun.

Now, if you want to see Shen Chen's abnormality, I'm afraid there are only wet trouser legs and shoes that will soon be thrown away.

The car drove forward, and for a long time, Shen Chen and Zhao Youcai did not speak, until Shen Chen took out the shell gun.

"Put on the silencer, hide it, it will be useful later." Shen Chen paused and said, "I also want to make a folding butt, and I will guide it soon." ”

"Okay, just hide in my house." Zhao Youcai agreed in a deep voice.

Shen Chen took out another wad of money, counted out a thousand yuan and handed it over, "Renting a house in the French Concession is considered a safe house; If Zhang Chengfu can be rescued, he can be allowed to live. ”

"Understood." Zhao Youcai was not polite, and took it over to figure it out.

There was silence in the car again, only Shen Chen pointed out the path from time to time.

"Turn right ahead and stop!"

Zhao Youcai drove as he said, and the car stopped. Shen Chen opened the car door, got out of the car and entered a small alley, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

……………

In the morning, the sky in Shanghai is a little gray.

Outside the gate of the New Asia Hotel, the Japanese military police were already on guard. Two cars drove up and came to a slow stop.

The door of the first sedan opened, and out came a Japanese officer in military uniform. He walked briskly to the car behind him and respectfully pulled the door open.

Out of the car was a Japanese officer with a higher rank, and the commander of the military police, Kiyoichiro, had a gloomy face, glanced up, and walked briskly towards the hotel door.

Kiyoichiro Iichi came to the fifth floor, and Kawaguchi Taira, the head of the special high school section of the gendarmerie team, who was inspecting the scene, hurriedly greeted him.

"What the hell is going on?" Kiyoichiro only waved his hand slightly in Kawaguchi's salute, and then asked in a deep voice.

Kawaguchi reported in a deep voice: "A total of seventeen people died, including Kimura-kun and Tsunekiyo. ”

Seiichiro frowned and walked forward, and in the luxurious suite, he saw the five corpses being arranged.

There were two gendarmes who were moving Chang Yuqing's body, and it was very difficult to move.

Chang Yuqing was shot in the back of the head and fell forward. A fat face pressed against the ground, half-soaked in a pool of blood. As soon as I turned it over, I saw a big hole in the flesh and blood, and I couldn't see what it looked like.

Kiyoichiro turned his head to look at Kawaguchi Taira, and although he didn't speak, the meaning of inquiry was obvious.

Kawaguchidaira hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his finger, and said in a deep voice: "The murderer is very professional, obviously highly trained. A cursory look at the scene showed little sign of resistance from the slain. Or one shot, or two shots, all of them are straight to the point, very clean. ”

"That's organized?" Kiyoichiro lowered his eyelids slightly, he was strictly trained, and naturally he was not a killer in the rivers and lakes.

"Yes, the chief's judgment is accurate." Kawaguchi Taira cleverly turned the chief's question sentence into an affirmative sentence.

Kiyoichiro Jing touched the Ren Dan Hu on his lips and continued to ask, "What other clues?" ”

Kawaguchi hesitated for a moment and said, "The bullet casings have been collected, as well as the doors and windows, and traces are also being collected, and clues such as fingerprints may be obtained soon." ”

Possible? Kiyoichiro was obviously a little dissatisfied with this answer, glanced at Kawaguchi Taira, and said, "What about the route?" Where did the murderer come from, how many people are there, and can you determine the approximate range? ”

Kawaguchi complained secretly, but he could only report truthfully, "The route to infiltrate the hotel can basically be determined, but to determine the scope of the murderer, we have to wait for the results of the investigation and visit." As for the number of murderers, it is believed that there will be no less than three. ”

"Temporarily block the message." Ichiro Iguchi gave the order, turned around and walked out of the suite, and Kawaguchi Taira hurriedly followed.

The Japanese gendarmerie has four sections: general affairs, economics, justice, and special high school, and the special high school section is the one that performs the task of special services, and there are subordinate to the military assistant team, the secret agent team, and the translation team.

The Zodiac Society belonged to the peripheral organization of the Japanese gendarmerie, and its main task was to suppress the anti-Japanese forces that attacked Shanghai and cooperate with the Japanese army to rule Shanghai.

For the casualties of the Zodiac Society, and even the death of Chang Yuqing, the Japanese didn't care much about it, but they just raised a few dogs.

But for the gendarmerie, it is a slap in the face, a challenge, an insult and a contempt. Beat the dog to see the owner, they also understand this Chinese saying.

Led to the conference room by Kawaguchi Taira, Kiyoichiro Ii sat down. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Kawaguchi-kun, do you know what kind of impact this matter will have if it is publicized? ”

"Humble duty understands." Kawaguchi's tone was bitter and depressed.

If the case took place in the concession, the Japanese could use this as an excuse to exert pressure and compete with the Ministry of Industry for police power.

But now, the murder occurred in Hongkou, and it is the responsibility of the gendarmerie and the Japanese police.

What's more, the murderer came and went freely, killing seventeen or eighteen people, and not even leaving any clues.

The well-trained and terrifying skills are spoken of internally, and if the outside knows, they can only put the label of "incompetence" on the head of the gendarmerie.

"There were so many dead people, didn't you realize at that time that the guards in the building were all dead?" Kiyoichiro's tone was even more severe.

Kiyoichiro thought it was incredible, but Kawaguchi was not like that. But he couldn't find a reasonable explanation, so he could only hang his head and stand upright, and respond in silence.

The room was silent for a while, as if the living were like the dead outside, without breath.
