With the power of one person to fight against the entire black × society, Shen Chen has not yet been arrogant to that extent. Although he hated some of the industries that the Green and Red Gang had done, he knew it wasn't something he could forbid.

Unless there is a change in the world, unless there is a great change in society. Otherwise, it will be impossible to eradicate the cancer that has been born of a heavy tradition.

Shen Chen couldn't do anything about it, he could only do what he could to talk about comfort. Although there were times when he saw those sufferings from the perspective and thinking of a posterity, he would be so heavily suppressed that he did not want to speak.

Therefore, he also understood why Chu Jiao wanted to make a lot of money and would give alms to those beggars.

Although it is only a few steamed buns, it is likely to save a few people, and it will give those who are on the verge of death an extra day or two to live.

After the meeting with Xu Huaiyi, Shen Chen did not go back to the patrol room, but went to the mall and bought the latest German Roleifrye camera.

In 1929, the German company Rolleiflex 120 dual-lens reflex camera was produced by the German company Roca, which was very popular with photographers and dominated for a period of time.

Subsequently, German companies such as Leitz, Luolai, and Zeiss successively developed and produced dual-lens and single-lens reflex cameras with small volume and aluminum alloy bodies.

With the widespread use of optical viewfinders, rangefinders, self-timers, etc., the adjustment range of mechanical shutters has expanded, the performance of cameras has been improved, and color photosensitive films have been introduced.

At that time, the Leica and Roleiflye cameras, with their small size, aluminum alloy body, dual lens and single lens reflex cameras, were considered the most advanced photographic equipment and the first choice for photography professionals.

Of course, Shen Chen does not want to engage in photography, but to use the camera to shoot some specific people and let Chu Jiao and others know him.

For example, the "Bright Light Spy" can use this method to let Chu Jiao and others be responsible for tracking, and waiting for the opportunity to take pictures of some other guys who have been in contact with him.

As for the smaller agent cameras, Shen Chen didn't know if they existed now. Even if he had, he probably wouldn't be able to get it.

After buying the camera, Shen Chen went to the Arctic refrigerator company again.

Arctic Refrigerator Company is located at the mouth of Muerming Road (now Maoming North Road) on Jing'an Temple Road, which is a Chinese palace-style building with oriental colors.

Although the Arctic Refrigerator Company is an agency specializing in the promotion of foreign refrigeration equipment, it is also engaged in the import business of electronic tubes and other components.

In Shen Chen's opinion, since electronic tubes and other components can be imported, it should not be a problem to buy a few German Zeiss six-fold scopes.

At that time, the domestic army was equipped with sniper rifles with scopes, but the number was very small, and Shen Chen couldn't get it.

According to records, in 1935 German advisers suggested that the Kuomintang army should be equipped with snipers.

Subsequently, in November of the same year, the Nationalist Government purchased 120 Type 1924 heavy barrel shotguns equipped with optical sights, which was the predecessor of the Type 98K sniper rifle, from Germany.

This "extravagant spending" can be clearly seen from the 1935 expenditure list of the Ministry of Finance of the Nationalist Government: "120 Mauser 24 shotguns, equipped with telescopic sights, 2,000 rounds each, 30 rifles, and 30 telescopic sights."

However, from the records of the sniper warfare of the national * army against the Japanese devils, the national * army did not have the upper hand. It can be seen that in addition to weapons, the quality of personnel is more important.

Compared with the number of sharpshooters among the Japanese devils, there are too few sharpshooters in the national * army.

Before coming, Shen Chen of course did some research on Manager Chen of the Arctic refrigerator. A "returnee" who studied in the United States is more patriotic and can be regarded as a more reliable figure.

It was not possible to be 100% reliable at the time. Even if it was Chu Jiao, Zhao Youcai and Zhang Chengfu, Shen Chen didn't dare to guarantee whether they would confess themselves when they were tortured.

Manager Chen welcomed Shen Chen's visit, which can be seen from his enthusiastic attitude. Of course, he also expressed some doubts about what Shen Chen wanted to buy.

"Mr. Shen wants to buy a scope, of course there is no problem, and I also have business in Germany. As long as it is mixed in the refrigerator accessories, it is easy to transport in. Just, what is the purpose of this thing? If the supplier asks, I have to answer, right? ”

"Hunting, so to speak." Shen Chen said: "I'm going to give a gift, and the object of the gift likes to hunt, which can be regarded as a good thing!" ”

"I see." Manager Chen seemed to understand and said: "You can also specify the purchase from a German foreign company, as long as the price is right." And Mr. Shen found me because he trusted me. Rest assured, I will get this done as soon as possible. ”

Shen Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you Manager Chen for helping me with this, and please keep it secret for me." If there is anything you need Shen in the future, please feel free to speak. ”

"No problem." Manager Chen smiled: "Inspector Shen's heroic name is widely known. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble for Inspector Shen in the future! ”

"Manager Chen is polite, what trouble is not troublesome, Shen is afraid of trouble, and there will be no today." Shen Chen paused and continued: "This scope is monocular, four times smaller than that, and it is easy to carry. I'm in trouble, and I want to take one with me to observe the situation. ”

Manager Chen took out a piece of paper and took notes, three six-fold scopes and two quadruple scopes. Then he hesitated and wrote an unfamiliar name on the place of the orderer.

Shen Chen smiled and didn't stop it. This Manager Chen is still quite smart, although he may not be very clear about the specific purpose of this scope, but the military should know.

took out a gold bar as a deposit, Shen Chen politely rejected Manager Chen's refusal, and left.

Back in the patrol room, Shen Chen inquired about the distribution of the list of stolen goods, made a report to Mason, and it was almost time to get off work.

After getting off work, Shen Chen got into the car and went to meet Cao Bingsheng and Xu Huaiyi.

On the way, Shen Chen deliberately went around and turned around twice. I also got out of the car in an unrelated place, walked around, and then drove away again.

Trying to track Shen Chen is not an easy task, and it can even be said to be an unlikely task.

It wasn't until he was sure that no one was following him that Shen Chen came to the hotel where the meeting was agreed.

Cao Bingsheng and Xu Huaiyi were already waiting in the private room, it seemed that the two had already talked and communicated, and their faces were not very relaxed.

After the hustle and bustle was over, Cao Bingsheng got straight to the point and said solemnly: "Brother Shen, be more careful, the gangs in Huxi may be unfavorable to you." ”

Huxi Gangland, the gangs there are somewhat connected with No. 76, and the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't need to think about it.

Shen Chen smiled and said, "No. 76 confessed, and he didn't dare to send anyone again, so he found some ruffians to deal with me?" Hehe, I'm not talking about Brother Cao and Brother Xu. ”

"You said we weren't angry." Xu Huaiyi spread his hands indifferently and said, "I talked to Brother Cao about this just now, and I think the gang may be more difficult to deal with than No. 76. ”

Shen Chen raised his eyebrows and motioned for Xu Huaiyi to continue.

Xu Huaiyi glanced at Cao Bingsheng and continued: "Don't look at the gang characters who have not undergone much training, but it is common to be brave and ruthless. More importantly, it is better than the large number of people, and the three religions and nine streams are all-encompassing. That is to say, you are walking on the road, those who pull carts, sell goods, and ask for food...... It could all be sent to your detriment. ”

Shen Chen nodded, thinking that Xu Huaiyi was reasonable. Wolves are easy to fight, less! But swarms of flies and mosquitoes are indeed a little unguardable.

Cao Bingsheng continued: "The price code has been opened outside, it must be from No. 76, 3,000 yuan to buy your head." ”

"Is it only 3,000 yuan? I thought it would be tens of thousands! Shen Chen could still joke at this time, which made Cao Bingsheng and Xu Huaiyi look at each other and smile bitterly.

"Brother Shen—" Cao Bingsheng scratched his head, patted Shen Chen's shoulder again, and said, "Don't say three thousand yuan, it's three hundred yuan, and there are outlaws in the gang to earn this bonus." You, you still take it seriously as well. ”

Shen Chen knew that it was a little tricky, but what problem could he solve? Besides, in his mind, it may not be so serious.

If the bounty solves the problem, the agents of the various organizations will have no work to do. Put the price out and let the outlaws do it.

That is, he walks on the road, full of gang figures who want his life, that is just imagination, it cannot become a reality.

It's not like a spy on an assassination mission and can go back and receive a bounty when he finishes it. Gang characters must have evidence to kill people, such as heads or something; Second, there must be a testimony that there are reliable people who testify that they did it.

In addition, there is another problem in this, and Shen Chen wants to figure it out.

"The news that Brother Cao got is definitely reliable, and I am grateful for my concern for my little brother." Shen Chen first thanked Cao Bingsheng, and then asked, "I wonder if this reward is just for one or a few gangs, or for everyone?" ”

Cao Bingsheng thought for a while and said, "According to the information I received, it seems that someone went to find a few gang leaders and offered a reward. ”

"Which gangs, can Brother Cao find out?" Shen Chen sneered and continued to ask.

"I can only say that I try my best, and I dare not say that I will definitely find out." Cao Bingsheng did not dare to guarantee the ticket.

Shen Chen turned to Xu Huaiyi and said, "In your territory, don't you say hello when the gang people arrive?" ”

Xu Huaiyi smiled a little ugly and said, "If it's a matter between gangs, then you must say hello." But who wants to keep a bottom and be tracked down in the future? Well, I see what you mean, and I'll let the brethren pay attention, or just go and find out. ”

"That's right." Xu Huaiyi remembered something, and continued: "The guys you said about staying at the Welcome Hotel are a total of four people. One of them is a little famous in the Tao, specializing in 'making people'. Therefore, it is estimated that there is a good chance that ** is coming for you. ”

"Tell me more." Shen Chen didn't expect that there would really be a professional killer coming, although the business level was definitely not good.

Xu Huaiyi nodded and said, "That guy's real name is not very clear, and he has a nickname called Tietou." It's not that his head is as hard as iron, but that whatever he wants to do, he will go all the way to the dark, and he won't look back when he hits the south wall. Well, he looks very stout, and his main feature is that he has a slanted eye, and I heard that he was beaten by someone. ”

With this virtue, you can recognize it at a glance, what kind of professional killer are you?

As soon as Shen Chen heard this, he classified this iron head as a fool, with a few catties of brute force, fierce and brutal, how could such a guy be his opponent?

"Actually—" Cao Bingsheng said with a deep groan, "There is another way to eliminate this disaster." I discussed it with Brother Xu just now, and I think it's feasible. ”

Shen Chen asked curiously, "What's the way, Brother Cao, please say?" ”

"Worship the old man." Cao Bingsheng said: "Brother Shen joined the gang, although it is not foolproof, but because they are also brothers in the gang, some gang figures are thinking about incense, and it is estimated that they will quit." ”

"In the past, Mr. Huang, Du, and Mr. Zhang had the final say." Xu Huaiyi continued: "Now, Mr. Huang is closed to the door; Mr. To went to Hong Kong, and some of them were beyond the reach of the whip; Only Mr. Zhang remains, and there are some signs of monopolizing Shanghai Beach. ”

"Zhang Xiaolin?!" Shen Chen shook his head vigorously and said, "He has fallen into the water and become a traitor, and I have offended the Japanese again, how can he help me?" Even if he wants to help, there must be harsh conditions, and I probably won't agree. ”

Cao Bingsheng smiled bitterly and said, "Then let's go through Mr. Du's door." Although Mr. Du is not in Shanghai, the power and influence he can leave behind cannot be underestimated. It's just a steward Wan, but he is not a good person, far worse than Mr. Du's modest corporal. ”

"Steward Wan basically stays at home, just stays in the Huage Ludu Mansion." Xu Huaiyi added: "However, Brother Cao still has some face in the French Concession and can help Mr. Shen dredge it on his behalf." ”

Wan Molin is Du Yuesheng's confidant butler, who was ordered to stay in Shanghai, and is an important representative of Du Yuesheng in Shanghai, which is well known. But in order to win Du Yuesheng, the Japanese puppet did not touch a single hair of him for a long time.

Shen Chen and others didn't know that Wan Molin was still the general transportation of Chongqing underground workers in Shanghai, responsible for liaison and communication in the center.

At the same time, Wan Molin was also responsible for receiving and providing security for the three Kuomintang members stationed in Shanghai, Jiang Bocheng, Wu Kaixian, and Wu Shaoshu.

Moreover, Wan Molin is still their silver box, and every penny has to go through Wan Molin's hands.

"We'll talk about that later." Shen Chen didn't want to worship any old man flatteringly, he was more confident, but he didn't say anything to death.

Cao Bingsheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Shen asked me to inquire about the information of No. 76 before, but I sent my brothers to do some work. This information is very miscellaneous, I have brought it all, hoping to help Brother Shen. ”

Shen Chen stretched out his hand and took a notebook, opened it and took a look, this is sorted out and transcribed, it doesn't look messy, it's just a lot.

"Thank you, Brother Cao." Shen Chen put away the notebook and picked up the wine glass, "And Brother Xu." Come, things are pretty much the same, let's drink and eat food, and have a good time. ”

Cao Bingsheng and Xu Huaiyi toasted accordingly, and they both admired Shen Chen's free and easy and courageous appearance.

Shen Chen didn't drink much wine and ate a lot of dishes, and he didn't look scared at all, but had a big appetite.
