Chapter 156: High-Priced Missions, Unexpected Conflicts

Shen Chen thought for a while and felt that Alcott's statement was very reasonable, and in the long run, it was also correct.

The first bonus and bereavement pension have been taken too much, what to do in the future, it must not be reduced, but can only be increased. For example, taking out 10,000 now and 8,000 in the future will make people feel uncomfortable.

But Shen Chen and Alcott's considerations are different, that is, Shen Chen has no plans to operate for a long time at all. In two years, the devils will occupy the concession, what is the use of the fund?

But since Alcott raised this question, Shen Chen couldn't explain, he knew about the future, how could it be possible to make others believe?

Therefore, Shen Chen decided to take a roundabout approach. That is, he used an anonymous way to compensate and reward the casualties and patrols, and did not come out of the fund.

"You have a point, and you have a long-term perspective." Shen Chen agreed with Alcott's suggestion, "Then the pension will be calculated by you and Mr. Dessa, and it will be gradually increased as the price rises in the future." ”

Alcott smiled and nodded, looking inquiringly at Dessa's bald head.

Desa hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Shen, I have something I want to ask you for help with, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "It seems to be very secret, where is it convenient to say it?" ”

Desa stretched out his hand and said, "It's in that hut, Alcott and I have already booked that no outsiders are allowed to enter." ”

"Okay!" Shen Chen got up and glanced at the gambling table at 21 o'clock, Chu Jiao was still playing.

The three of them entered the room, and the waiter withdrew with his coffee, and the door was shut.

Desa motioned for Shen Chen to drink coffee, he groaned, as if recalling, and then said slowly: "This matter can be said to be a task, I will pay a high honorarium, I hope Mr. Shen can help." ”

Alcott took his coffee and said to Shen Chen: "It's a bit similar to a high-value bounty task, I think it's very suitable for you." ”

Shen Chen smiled and asked indifferently, "Are you looking for a baby, or are you going to fight a little monster?" ”

"Little monster? Oh no, it's not a joke, it's true. Alcott said solemnly: "Let Mr. Desa finish, and you will decide!" β€œ

Dessa sighed and said, "I didn't have much hope. But now, the situation has changed, and with a clue, it means that success is possible. I'll start at the beginning, it happened in the United States......"

Shen Chen drank coffee slowly and listened to Dessa's story.

It turned out that Dessa's youngest son was killed in the United States, so the cause of the matter was left alone, anyway, Desa lost his beloved son. And the murderer ran very fast, and before the American police could solve the case, the guy had already left the United States on a boat.

The reason why Desa knew who the murderer was, but it was through a private detective investigation that he found an eyewitness who did not want to appear in public.

"Damn little Japanese ghosts." Desa scolded viciously, his face flushed with anger because he had brought it up again.

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "Although I don't like the Japanese, and I hate this damn murderer, this is a very difficult thing, you won't let me go to Japan, right?" Not to mention completing the task, even finding this person is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I think this matter should be resolved through diplomatic channels. ”

"Do you think Mr. Desa hasn't tried?" Alcott said in a low voice: "Damn the Japanese, damn the government, they promise to be actively arrested, but they can't guarantee time." This means that poor Mr. Desa may not get any results until he is in the coffin. ”

"Of course, it is definitely an ordeal to see the murderer of his beloved son go unpunished." Shen Chen looked at Desar with some sympathy.

"yes, I can't let go." Desa sighed again and said, "Unexpectedly, things have taken a turn for the better. Thanks to the help of many friends, I know the whereabouts of the murderer, who is now in Shanghai. ”

Shen Chen didn't speak, and motioned with his eyes to continue speaking. He had roughly guessed what Desa meant, but he wasn't sure yet.

"This guy turned out to be the bodyguard of a Japanese aristocratic child, and it should be this noble child who had a conflict with Mr. Dessa's son in the United States." Alcot said: "Now, this noble son is a counselor in the Shanghai consulate, and the murderer is also by his side. ”

Desa took out a photo and handed it to Shen Chen, saying, "I want to use some special means to make the murderer get the punishment he deserves." ”

Shen Chen was ready to refuse, but out of politeness, he still took the photo and glanced at it casually.

Alcott paid attention to Shen Chen's expression, he felt that Shen Chen was capable of doing it, as long as this Japanese ghost was in the public concession.

Of course, if the photos are widely distributed and the headhunters are rewarded, there must be people who take risks for money.

However, Alcott vetoed Dessa's idea. Don't forget, this is almost the world of the Japanese, and I can't imagine how much trouble a bounty can cause for killing a Japanese.

Shen Chen returned the photo to Desa, and said in a deep voice: "If he is wanted by the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry, I will do my best to arrest him, as long as he is in the concession." If it weren't for that, there was nothing I could do. ”

Desa smiled wryly, and Alcott secretly gestured to calm him down.

In the United States, the case has not been finally solved, and the case has not been finalized. Therefore, it is obviously impossible for the Ministry of Industry to issue a wanted warrant.

But Alcot also knew that Shen Chen had gang forces to help, and guessed that he didn't want to agree happily, as if he was killing people professionally.

Therefore, Alcott felt that Shen Chen was not good at speaking publicly, but whether he would help or not could not be conclusively determined.

"I know that Mr. Shen is jealous and hateful, and he also has some friends who are angry." Alcott took a more tactful and flexible way, and said to Shen Chen: "That's good. Whether Mr. Shen does it or not, we don't force it. As for this photo, you can take it first, and when you see this guy, you can be more careful. ”

As he spoke, he quietly glanced at Dessa, and said as if teasingly, "It seems that the $10,000 you prepared has been saved." ”

Desa handed the photo to Shen Chen again, and said with a wry smile: "It's not difficult for Mr. Shen." This guy is very powerful, you should be careful when you see it. ”

Shen Chen hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, and said casually: "Since it's so powerful, it seems that I will have to hide from this guy in the future!" ”

The matter was put down uncertainly, and Shen Chen didn't promise to help, but he didn't have to be too absolute. Alcott felt that there was hope, and Desa felt that it was better to help, and there was no way to help it.

The three chatted for a while, and Shen Chen was still thinking about Chu Jiao, so he excused himself to leave.

Besides, Chu Jiao first sat on the blackjack table and played casually.

The way to play blackjack is very simple, she should ask for cards to cards, almost not, which is the play of beginner novices.

However, after a little longer, she also figured out some ways and became a little bolder. If you can't compare to the dealer, you want to exceed the dealer and the points are very large, just wait for the dealer to blow the card.

Back and forth, she lost some, but not much. When someone came up from the other seats, the bets were relatively large, and it seemed that there were still people waiting for the vacant seats, she was a little embarrassed to sit down.

Packing up the chips, Chu Jiao got up and went to other gambling tables. After turning around, she felt that it was easier to bet on dice, and it was easier to bet on the size of the bet, and the two choices were easier.

So, she looked at it for a while, and then sat down in the empty seat, playing entirely by feeling.

By the time Shen Chen came out, Chu Jiao had already lost almost all the chips.

Shen Chen sat next to Chu Jiao and paid for the waiter to exchange for a small chip of two hundred yuan. Then, he looked at Chu Jiao with a smile.

Chu Jiao pursed her lips, not affected by anything, and still bet according to her own judgment.

By the time the waiter brought the chips, five or six shops had already been opened. Shen Chen seemed to be waiting carelessly, but in fact, he was listening to the sound of the dice rolling on the glass surface.

Although with the tone he heard before, he couldn't make an absolutely correct judgment. But Shen Chen felt that he had figured out a little way, and he would not bet on it just by feeling and unreliable so-called probabilities like Chu Jiao.

Reopening the dice and shaking the dice, Shen Chen listened attentively, and the dice made a crisp sound in the cup, falling on the glass surface, rolling, and stopping.

He threw a small chip in his hand, and first asked for directions by throwing stones to test it.

Unveiled the cup, Shen Chensheng, a good start.

Shen Chen smiled faintly, withdrew his chips, tilted his head and raised his eyebrows at Chu Jiao, and continued.

Slowly, the chips in front of Shen Chen increased. Although there are times when you can't hear accurately, there are still more times when you are on time.

Moreover, the more Shen Chen listened, the more he counted, and the more he won.

Chu Jiao stopped betting and watched Shen Chen play with interest.

Shen Chen became more and more proficient the more he played, and in the case of inaccuracy, the bet was very small; But when he is more sure, he bets big.

In this way, between one out and one in, even if he loses by half, the chips in front of Shen Chen are increasing unconsciously.

"Keep playing!" Shen Chen casually pushed over the chips and encouraged Chu Jiao with a smile.

Chu Jiao folded the chips neatly, but she was not in a hurry to bet, but began to observe Shen Chen.

You want to lie to me, no way! Chu Jiao was more energetic, and looked at it for a while, but she didn't know the point, so she followed Shen Chen to bet together.

At this time, a few more players came to the gambling table and began to place bets, they spoke loudly, Shen Chen frowned imperceptibly, he was very annoyed by this noisy sound.

But he didn't stop, but he bet less on several shops in a row.

"It's time to buy it and leave!" The dealer put the dice cup down and said loudly.

Shen Chen looked at the chips on the table, there were already about nearly a thousand yuan, he did not hesitate to reach out and bet more than half of the chips on the big one, and made an inconspicuous gesture to Chu Jiao.

"Double five single six, sixteen o'clock old!" The dealer reported loudly and cast a surprised look at Shen Chen.

Shen Chen leisurely lit a cigarette, and Chu Jiao happily gathered the chips he had won.

"Miss Chu is so lucky!" A voice suddenly came from behind him.

Chu Jiao was stacking chips with a smile, and when she heard the sound, she turned her head to look, and the expression on her face immediately collapsed. At first, she was about to have a seizure, but she endured it, snorted, and turned her head.

Dazong Cangming didn't care, stood next to Chu Jiao, and smiled as she continued to bet on dice.

Chu Jiao's dress is very simple, anyway, she won't wear cheongsam and skirts.

The makeup on the face is very light, and the hair is parted in the middle and draped over the back, loosely tied up with a pink headband.

The simple outfit makes Chu Jiao's body look very fresh and soft, and from the side, it is also very beautiful.

Chu Jiao was like a needle pricked in the back, endured it again and again, and even lost interest in betting. Fortunately, she was sitting on the very edge, Shen Chen was next to him, and Dazong Cangming could only stand behind.

Shen Chen tilted his head and glanced at Dazong Cangming, he didn't know this guy, and he didn't know that he was still Japanese. It's just that Chu Jiao's demeanor seems to be very disgusted.

The dealer started rolling the dice again.

The "cicada chirping" in the dice cup was sizzling, as if he was making a secret signal to Shen Chen. He hurriedly sat upright, stabilized his mood, and listened attentively.

According to the experience he has mastered, Shen Chen heard that the dice that were rubbing the glass bottom pad at the moment were all a few small points, and he silently counted in his heart, this shop will undoubtedly make money when buying "small".

Just as he was about to stretch out his hand to push the chips to the "small" area, Dazong Cangming reached out and patted Shen Chen at the wrong time, and said, "This gentleman, can you give up your position to the contemptible person?" ”

Shen Chen instinctively contracted his shoulders, flashed his body, and turned his head to look at Dazong Cangming.

"Buy it and leave itβ€”open! Double one, two, four open small - ah!"

I'll go! Shen Chen's eyes narrowed viciously, and he scolded: "There is something wrong with you, I was about to bet on the small, and I missed it when you slapped it, do you pay for it?" ”

Dazong Cangming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to get into trouble with a casual slap of his hand.

Chu Jiao turned her face slightly, so that Shen Chen could see her mouth clearly, and then slowly opened her lips silently, which was equivalent to conveying the message "Japanese devil" word by word.

"Look, I'm going all-in and I'm going to win all at once - more than a thousand." Shen Chen saw it clearly, and even more ignored it, and got up and glared at Dazong Cangming.

Dazong Cangming frowned and defended: "It's really a bit rude to shoot you just now. But this, this is a bit of a strong word, right? ”

"To pay or not to pay?" Shen Chen showed a sneering expression, and squinted at Dazong Cangming, "If you don't have money, get out of here, pretend to be a big person." How did you get in, poor ghost! ”

Dazong Cangming's eyes changed, humiliated and angry......

Chu Jiao laughed, leaned back in the chair, tilted her head, and wrapped her fingers around her hair, looking leisurely.

At this moment, Dazong Cangming couldn't hang up anymore, so he gave in, and this face was a big shame. Staring at Shen Chen's hateful smile, he clenched his fists......

"What's going on? Mr. Dazong. With the voice, a burly foreign devil strode over.

Shen Chen looked at this guy and narrowed his eyes slightly. He remembered the photos and materials he had seen from Everett and knew who this guy was.

"The Pole had a vulgar face, a vulgar expression, and was arrogant, and had become one of the notorious members of the Japanese gang in Shanghai. His only purpose in serving the Japanese was to make money through criminal means......"

The guy turned out to be the Assassin Rabin, a spy of the Japanese Navy's intelligence agency in Shanghai.
