Chapter 284: Revenge Without Morality (Happy New Year, Friends)
Shinobu Katori feels good, not just the feeling of closeness. She also thought that she was already a rope that tied Shen Chen; Or a trap, Shen Chen had already jumped in.
And just when she proudly reported the situation to Iwai, and was ready to wait to celebrate the victory, Shen Chen also completed the final arrangements, quietly moved out of the western-style building with her things, and lived in an inconspicuous house.
Shen Chen has already asked for leave from the patrol room, and the reason why he is asking for leave instead of resigning is also a smoke bomb to cover up.
The people who should leave are gone, and Shen Chen has no worries, or no scruples. And if a person doesn't even want to die, it is definitely the most terrible.
Especially Shen Chen, once he did it with all his might, he would become a cold and terrifying killing machine.
On the night when Katori Shinobu was still self-absorbed, Shen Chen changed his mild-mannered demeanor during the day and began to kill and loot violently.
The winter in Shanghai is wet and cold, with icy light rain and cold wind, making everything at night so quiet and bleak.
After the First World War, numerous factories were built along the Macao Road. Among them, there is the Japanese opened Mi Ze Yang Bank, and 660 Lane is a residential area where Japanese expatriates live.
Shen Chen walked slowly under the dim street lamp, this was in the public concession, since he was already leaving, he would no longer abide by the rules of not acting in the public concession.
It is precisely because he has not been acting in the public concession that he did not raise more precautions after the Japanese pharmacies and foreign stores in the French Concession were destroyed and ransacked.
What's more, with the few ronins hired by Mi Zeyang, Shen Chen didn't look at it at all.
Flicking the shiny cigarette butt into the garbage bin on the side of the road accurately, Shen Chen had already observed the movement and ran forward quickly, stepping on the ground with rubber-soled shoes and not making too much noise.
Running quickly to the wall, Shen Chen jumped up with his strength and grabbed the wall with both hands.
Then he bent and stretched, his feet against the wall, he jumped up like a spring, his body passed sideways in the air, his elbows on the wall, his hands pressed, and he was already floating into the wall.
The movements are like flowing water, even if he was at the peak of his previous life, Shen Chen couldn't do it so neatly.
With his feet on the ground, Shen Chen had already drawn his gun in his hand, half-squatting like a cheetah that was choosing things to devour, his cold eyes scanned around, and he quickly found a hiding place.
"Over there, there's movement."
With the sound, the two ronins turned the corner, flashlights, and walked this way.
The light pillar of the flashlight flickered and did not find anything, and the two ronins remained vigilant and expanded the search area.
In the end, the two guys still found nothing, muttering and turning back.
And just as they turned around, the guy who was walking behind trembled and fell straight down.
The other guy had just noticed when a bullet flew silently and shattered his dog's head.
Shen Chen shot and killed the two people twice, and did not go to check the bodies, and quickly approached the side window of the western-style building.
The door-made window couldn't stop Shen Chen, the tape was glued to the glass, and the handle of the gun was knocked, and in the slight sound, a hole had been broken. Shen Chen reached in, opened the latch, pushed open the window, and flew in.
In the western-style building, two Japanese people had just turned a corner and were about to walk down the stairs, facing Shen Chen's cold eyes.
When he raised his gun in his right hand and fired, a Japanese man's head jerked back, and there was already a bloody hole in his head.
Before the other Japanese could react, a cold light flashed in Shen Chen's left hand, and the sharp blade slashed across his throat with short and powerful force, quickly and effectively making it unable to make a sound.
The Japanese clutched their blood-spurting necks, opened their mouths, and leaned forward.
The blade flashed again, once, twice. The cheeks were slashed open, and the mouth of the Japanese suddenly turned into a bloody mouth; The eyes were blinded, and blood gushed out of the incisions.
Shen Chen skillfully moved, dodged the Japanese who were covered in blood and fell to the ground, gently shook off the blood on the knife, continued the marching posture of the left knife and the right gun, and touched forward along the corridor.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Seven people were killed and their belongings were looted; There are three destroyed houses in the Japanese residential area located on Macao Road, namely Takahashi, deputy manager of the Rihua Yarn Factory, Ozawa, manager of the Nichiwai Cotton Factory, and Okawa, a Japanese overseas Chinese......
In the three major cases, a total of 15 people died, and it is difficult to count the lost property.
By noon the next day, some newspaper offices had already been selling their extra names in the streets and alleys, and the biggest massacre against the Japanese since the establishment of the public concession caused a sensation at once.
The Japanese were both frightened and angry, and Yamashiro, the consul stationed in Shanghai, immediately rushed to the Ministry of Industry Bureau and lodged a serious protest, demanding that the patrol house be cracked as soon as possible and the murderer arrested.
At the same time, Yamashiro also put forward a request for the Japanese gendarmerie to enter the concession and jointly investigate with the patrol house.
At this time, Shen Chen was secretly meeting with Cao Bingsheng and handed over a box of belongings to him.
"This isβ" Cao Bingsheng opened the box, his eyes immediately widened, and he turned to look at Shen Chen in dismay.
He had already read the newspaper, and combined with Shen Chen's previous help, it was not difficult to guess that Shen Chen was the murderer.
Shen Chen doesn't care now, anyway, Cao Bingsheng must have suspected that he had done a lot of big cases before.
"Whether those victims can die less depends on Brother Cao." Shen Chen said in a deep voice: "The sins made by the Japanese will be repaid by the Japanese. Brother Cao, you know what I mean, right? β
Cao Bingsheng felt the coldness and murderous aura on Shen Chen's body, even if he could be regarded as a friend, he felt a little chill in his heart.
"Brother Shen's meaning, of course I understand." Cao Bingsheng nodded vigorously and said: "I used all these belongings to buy grain, firewood, cotton clothes, and relief for the victims, and I would never dare to take a penny." β
Shen Chen smiled, but in Cao Bingsheng's opinion, he was also evil and cold.
"There are some things that can't be seen for the time being." Shen Chen stretched out his finger and pointed, "For example, these marked jewelry, jewelry, etc., Brother Cao should hide them first, but don't cause trouble." β
Cao Bingsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this would be easy. If Shen Chen asked him to pay for these things that were easy to do bad things, he would be really embarrassed.
"Brother Shen, I think this money can support you for a month, you don't have to rush to do it." Cao Bingsheng kindly persuaded again: "The Japanese and the patrol room must be stepping up the investigation, and it will be safe when the wind is quieter!" β
Shen Chen was noncommittal and said, "Brother Cao's kindness, I understand it." Well, I'll go first. β
Cao Bingsheng looked at Shen Chen's departing back with a complicated expression. Looking down at the box of belongings, he couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head.
There is a cause and effect, and the suffering of the victims is caused by the Japanese, so let the Japanese pay the price, and now it is just the beginning.
And Shen Chen's target is all Japanese, regardless of women and children, men and women.
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a war for the whole nation for the Chinese nation. In the danger of destroying the country and extinction species, the only way to survive is to fight the lives of the whole nation in order to survive the country; Only the determination to sacrifice to the end can win the final victory.
If you are uncertain and want to be safe, you will fall into a land of no return!
Therefore, as soon as the war begins, there is no distinction between north and south, no distinction between the old and the young, no matter who they are, they all have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war, and they should all have the determination to sacrifice everything.
On the other hand, this is also a war in which the entire Japanese nation participates, and no one can get out of it.
Some Japanese are soldiers and are the most direct murderers; Some Japanese worked, making guns and cannons for the massacre of Chinese; Some Japanese farmed the land and provided military rations for the invaders; Some Japanese waved their flags and shouted, while others boosted their morale.......
From this point of view, Japan's men, women, and children are all contributing to the war effort, and they are all part of Japan's war machine.
Therefore, Shen Chen only carried out revenge for the war, and there was no question of morality. It is intended to leave an eternal impression on the wagers of war.
Moreover, Japan is a barbaric and murderous nation, and now retribution has only just begun. Only destruction and the strong will make the Japanese afraid and afraid.
Killing and brutality are the sins of the Japanese, and from now on, they will suffer for their sins, or retribution.
You can't stop when you start, and when Shen Chen's killing machine starts, it's hard to stop.
Just when Katori Shinobu was anxiously waiting at the predetermined place, but none of the students showed up, Shen Chen entered the French Concession in the darkness of night and once again waved the sword of justice at the Japanese.
The Rihua Yarn Mill on Robert Road, the Riwaiwai Cotton Mill on Gordon Road, and the residence of the deputy general manager of Zhengjin Bank were bloodbathed overnight, and 17 Japanese people died.
Although he was discovered during the operation, Shen Chen escaped from the pursuit of the French patrol and successfully escaped with his agile skills and accurate marksmanship.
Robbing money is no longer Shen Chen's focus, it has become a hand-holding after killing. Once his purpose changed, he became more ruthless and murderous.
By the next day, when Shen Chen was sleeping in his hiding place, it was already boiling outside, discussing and speculating about the sudden outbreak of continuous murders.
"Crazy, crazy!" Cao Bingsheng read the newspaper and shook his head with a wry smile.
Cao Zibai's face was expressionless, his eyes seemed to be closed, and he sneered for a long time and said: "It's really terrible to be crazy, and people who don't want to die are the most difficult to provoke." Fortunately, it is the Japanese who should be afraid of headaches. β
Cao Bingsheng stroked his forehead and said with some distress: "Then, what about tonight's boat, do you still help him?" β
Cao Zibai lowered his eyelids again, thought for a long time, and slapped the table resolutely, "Help, why don't you help?" Are you not sure, afraid of being detected by the Japanese? β
Cao Bingsheng hurriedly shook his head, "That's not it." It's just to Hongkou, we have taken a familiar path, and there is nothing wrong with it. Just send him over, can he come back? β
Cao Zibai snorted and said: "It's his life to come back, and if he doesn't come back, it's a sacrifice, that's his own choice." β
Cao Bingsheng sighed, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said, "It's a friend anyway, I want him to live longer." Since my father said so, I will do whatever he wants! β
"Give him all the information about Hongkou." Cao Zibai's eyes shot a gloomy meaning, "If a few more Japanese die, we will also be happy to see it." β
"Understood." Cao Bingsheng stood up and said: "Those disaster victims, I have to take care of them, I don't spend our money, I can buy a good reputation, and I will also give an explanation to him." β
Cao Zibai waved his hand and signaled that his son could go. He sat alone in the room, lost in thought.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦.
Inside the Iwai Mansion, the atmosphere is solemn.
How so? Completely out of the plan, completely unexpected?
Katori Shinobu lost the clues of the students, and there was no gain in the search, and he was nowhere to be found.
This was just the first blow, and when she found out that Shen Chen was also gone, and she couldn't be contacted, she realized that something was wrong, and she might have been tricked.
"For two nights in a row, several major crimes, dozens of imperial expatriates were killed." Iwai's face sank as if he could wring out water, "The murderer is agile and has accurate marksmanship, could it be that Shen Chen did it?" β
Katori Shinobu was not sure, and the successive accidents made her lose confidence all of a sudden, doubting everything, and not daring to make judgments about anything.
Iwai glanced at Katori Shinobi, and his heart was very angry.
It can be said that the planned actions were all based on the information provided by Katori Koshinobi. Now, all at once, it's all in vain.
It's almost certain that Katori Shinobu was deceived and didn't know it. And when she, or even them, is full of confidence, the unexpected blow is even more unacceptable.
Katori Shinobu sighed secretly, feeling both loss and annoyance in his heart, "According to the description of eyewitnesses, judging from the figure, it is likely to be Shen Chen." But it is not absolutely certain that he has always been cautious and cautious, and it is unusual to act so riskily and impulsively. β
"Abnormal?" Iwai snorted, and the implication was that how much you know about him may be all an illusion, and it was Shen Chen who asked you to think so.
Katori Shinobu bit his lip and said, "I failed in my mission and am willing to accept the punishment." β
How could Iwai not hear Katori Shinobi's anger, but what was the use of punishment now. What's more, the evacuation of the students was a concealment of Katori Xiaonin, but Shen Chen may not, at least there is a glimmer of hope.
"Shen Chen suddenly hid his whereabouts and didn't contact you, and it is possible that he hasn't figured out your identity yet, but he doesn't want to implicate you because of this." Iwai softened his tone and said, "You go back to your residence first and wait patiently for a few days." β
Katori Xiaoren shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is wrong about Shen Chen, if he is really afraid of implicating me, he will not take this way, but will send me away." With his ability, he can do it. β
Iwai waved his hand impatiently and said, "You go back first." There are gendarmes and agents searching for Shen Chen, and the Japanese patrols in the concession have also been ordered, and you are not needed. β
Katori Shinobu got up, bowed, pushed open the door and left, without even saying a word.
Iwai let out a long sullen breath and threw his head back back in his chair, his eyes staring at the ceiling.
Things have come to this point where the initiative is completely lost. Iwai didn't know where Shen Chen was hiding and who his next target would be. There is little that can be done other than to get the Japanese diaspora to step up their guards.
Could it be that in addition to collecting the corpse and investigating the scene, he can only follow Shen Chen's ass and go around?
This feeling is difficult for Iwai to accept. Although the death of a Japanese expatriate does not involve his responsibility.
