The news of the thieves in Shen Chen's house appeared in a lesser-known newspaper the next day, and it only took up a small space.

That's right, it's a thief, although Inspector Shen pulled out his gun and shot angrily, although he didn't lose any valuables.

Qiu Ye naturally came in disguise, and Shen Chen recognized his body shape and guessed that it was this little Japanese ghost. But Shen Chen couldn't tell the outside world that the patrol that rushed to hear the news was just recorded according to what he said.

But people who have read this report and know Shen Chen better will not think so.

A mere thief can escape under Inspector Shen's spear, won't the spies and killers who died in his hands become waste?

Therefore, the so-called thieves are certainly not for any money, and they must be some master, and there seems to be no other reasonable explanation for the purpose other than assassination.

Shen Chen doesn't care about this, anyway, the report is written earth-shattering, and it won't change anything. Now that he knows that Qiu Ye is starting to move, he has to turn defense into attack and strive for the initiative.

Although Shen Chen rarely or basically did not carry out assassinations in the public concession, legitimate defense was excluded. But this is not absolute, as long as it is not exposed and does not cause too much pressure from the Japanese, he will not scruple about it.

Obviously, Akino, a small person, will be killed if he kills it. As for Dazong Cangming, Shen Chen felt that it was better to do it somewhere else. For example, the French Concession.

made an appointment with Zhang Chengfu, and without saying anything for a while, Shen Chen found that there was something wrong with his mental state.

"What's going on?" Shen Chen looked at Zhang Chengfu and asked, "Is it that the gang is not going well, or is there trouble in life, or is it the stinky boy who follows you?" ”

Zhang Chengfu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "That kid is really clingy, how do you know?" ”

"Cao Bingsheng told me." Shen Chen smiled faintly and said, "He told me as a joke." ”

Zhang Chengfu nodded and said, "Well, there are brothers in the gang who bullied that kid, and I solved the siege." Cao Bingsheng later learned about this and asked me about it. ”

"It's not hard for you to get rid of him, is it?" Shen Chen smiled, "It's not this thing that affects your mental state, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it." ”

Zhang Chengfu lowered his eyelids, thought for a while, and said, "It's nothing about this, it's just that I met a friend who looks very similar." knew it wasn't her, but I still couldn't let it go for a while. ”

"Female?" Shen Chen teased: "The one who can make you a big man unforgettable, it is estimated that it is a woman." ”

Zhang Chengfu smiled, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "If we have time, we can get in touch, we can't do anything, just wait for action." What's more, in the future, except for leaving Shanghai, no one may be able to say anything else. ”

"Let's talk about it!" Zhang Chengfu was ambiguous, and instead asked: "You want to kill someone in the French Concession, what is the specific plan and location?" ”

"It doesn't have to be me to kill." Shen Chen took out the photo, handed it to Zhang Chengfu, and said, "Recognize this guy, his name is Qiu Ye, he is a very powerful guy." ”

Zhang Chengfu took the photo and looked at it carefully for a while, nodded and said: "I wrote it down, I also have a sniper rifle, if you have the chance, you will end up with him." ”

"This guy is a bodyguard, according to intelligence, he has been going to Zhang Xiaolin's mansion with a Japanese ghost recently." Shen Chen reminded: "You look for a suitable sniper spot nearby, and then notify me." Well, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't want to increase the danger of your exposure. ”

Zhang Xiaolin is one of the traitors that Iwai Eiichi wants to woo, because Zhang Xiaolin has a powerful gang in Shanghai and is very keen on power, and is running the position of governor of Zhejiang Province.

At the same time, Wang's puppet government was also negotiating with Zhang Xiaolin through the traitor Cen Deguang (the son of Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Liangguang in the Qing Dynasty), and also took a fancy to his strength as one of the three major tycoons in Shanghai.

And the task of wooing Zhang Xiaolin is Dazong Cangming, who often goes to Zhang's house in the French Concession to persuade Zhang Xiaolin before the Wang puppet government.

Hearing this information, Zhang Chengfu nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. But I'm afraid it's very risky to move near Zhang's house, and it will be safer to stay a little farther away. ”

After the defeat in the battle in Shanghai, the government sent people to mobilize Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong, and Zhang Xiaolin to leave Shanghai for the mainland many times. As a result, Du Yuesheng insisted on the anti-Japanese stance and was afraid that the Japanese army would be unfavorable to him after entering Shanghai, so he turned to Hong Kong.

Huang Jinrong refused to leave Shanghai under the pretext of old age and infirmity, but refused to be wooed by the Japanese on the same pretext.

But this Zhang Xiaolin is another thought, he debuted earlier than Du Yuesheng, and his seniority is also a generation higher than Du Yue, and he has always been dissatisfied with Du Yuesheng as the boss.

When the Kuomintang retreated, Zhang Xiaolin secretly thought: "Shanghai is a mixed area of Chinese and foreign, various forces are intertwined, and it is easy for the Japanese to conquer and rule, so they will inevitably win over and use the gang leaders." Among the three tycoons, Huang Jinrong has already indicated that he will not come out to do things for the Japanese, and Du Yuesheng went to Hong Kong, which is a good opportunity for him to dominate Shanghai Beach. ”

After the Japanese army captured Shanghai, they quickly took a fancy to Zhang Xiaolin's power in Shanghai and wanted to pull Zhang Xiaolin into the water to maintain the situation for the Japanese.

Matsui Ishone, the commander of the Japanese dispatch force in Shanghai, soon colluded with Zhang Xiaolin and reached an agreement. Zhang Xiaolin happily became a traitor and established a traitor organization called the "New Asia Peace Promotion Association", and he became his own president.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaolin thinks highly of himself and wants the Japanese to be a puppet mayor of Shanghai or a puppet governor of Zhejiang, but the Japanese don't think so.

Although the attitude of the Japanese is not worthy of his heart, Zhang Xiaolin's 'enthusiasm' for being a traitor with the Japanese has not diminished in the slightest.

Zhang Xiaolin arranged disciples, coerced all walks of life to "coexist and prosper" with the Japanese, wantonly suppressed anti-Japanese rescue activities, and hunted down patriots. In the name of the chairman of the "New Asia Peace Promotion Association," he sent people to other places to purchase grain, cotton, coal, and medicine for the Japanese army, and forcibly lowered prices and even robbed them by armed force. He also took the opportunity to recruit soldiers and recruit disciples.

Zhang Xiaolin's defection to the enemy has aroused great unease in the Kuomintang Party. The government instructed the military commanders to sanction Zhang Xiaolin.

Dai Li also knew that Zhang Xiaolin's forces were all over Shanghai, and there was even a vicious force in the concession.

If Zhang Xiaolin and the Japanese army are combined, the "isolated island" concession will soon be controlled by traitor forces, and the situation of the military commanders in Shanghai will be very difficult, and they will even be completely squeezed out of the concession, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

In 1938, the Shanghai Action Group learned that Zhang Xiaolin went to the fifth-floor club of Daxin Company every night to gamble money, and after that, he and more than 10 bodyguards took two cars home.

And Zhang Xiaolin's motorcade has to go through an intersection on its way home, and if it hits a red light, the car will definitely stop.

Ding Songqiao, head of the Shanghai Operations Unit of the Military Command and a disciple of Du Yuesheng, decided to start here. In order to be safe, they manipulated the light line, and as soon as Zhang Xiaolin's car arrived, they could pull the red light.

Everything went according to plan, and the red light came on as the convoy passed. Taking advantage of the park, Ding Songqiao led several agents to shoot at the vehicle.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaolin's driver stepped on the accelerator, ran through the red light, and drove away. Because Zhang Xiaolin's body is protected by steel plates, the car window glass is also bulletproof glass that cannot be broken, although it is not a big deal if he is shot.

Zhang Xiaolin Mansion is located at No. 214 Huage Zhen Road, adjacent to Lao Du Mansion at No. 184 Ninghai West Road.

After this assassination, Zhang Xiaolin stayed in his mansion and hired as many as 28 armed bodyguards.

Just two days earlier, on 13 January 1940, the Military Command Action Group learned that Zhang Xiaolin's in-laws, Yu Yefeng, had invited him to renew the stage box to watch the performance of the famous Peking Opera actor Xin Yanqiu.

So, the action team rushed to the first row of the update stage in advance and took a seat next to Yu Yefeng. But the play is almost over, and Zhang Xiaolin has not yet arrived, so the action team will get rid of Yu Yefeng first and fight Zhang Xiaolin's majesty.

When Zhang Xiaolin learned that his in-laws had been killed, he hated and feared that he stayed at home all day, and asked the Japanese for a gendarmerie squad, and arranged for both internal and external posts at the gate, and anyone who came to visit was not allowed to enter without his consent.

In this heavily guarded situation, an ambush near Zhang's Mansion naturally made Zhang Chengfu feel that the risk was too great.

Shen Chen listened to the reason, and also felt that it was indeed inappropriate to get too close.

"If you are far away, you can only shoot at the car, and the chances of success are low." Shen Chen thought about it again and said, "Then there is no way, you scout first, and then choose the sniper location that you think is suitable and safe!" ”

Zhang Chengfu agreed, and said some more about the recent situation in the French Concession before breaking up with Shen Chen and saying goodbye.

……………

On the campus of Jiao Tong University.

"Sister Yingying, today Sunday, I want to invite you and everyone to have a meal, thank you for your help and education during this time." Katori Xiaoren, who is known as Shen Baihe, hugged Ou Yingying's arm and said kindly.

"No, Lily, you're too polite." Ou Yingying smiled and shook her head, "This is what we should do, what else is it cost?" ”

"Without you, I would still be searching for the way in confusion!" Shen Baihe continued: "It is my wish to be able to do my part for the motherland, you have given me this opportunity, how can I not express my gratitude?" ”

"Still don't need to, we just know what you want." Ou Yingying still refused, "It's not quiet outside these days, it's better to go out less." ”

"It's right next to the school gate, not very far away." Shen Baihe pretended to be very pitiful, "Besides, today is my birthday, except for you, I have no relatives in Shanghai, I am really lonely." ”

"That's it! Why didn't you say it earlier, we didn't prepare a gift. Ou Yingying hesitated, "Then it's better to buy something and spend it in the dormitory, it's more crowded." ”

"Nope." Shen Baihe shouted, "Have you forgotten that nasty guy?" If he is cheeky enough to join in the fun, he can not be allowed to enter the dormitory. But what about me, my reputation? Saying that, Shen Baihe seemed to really shiver.

"Hehe, I can't stand that person either." Ou Yingying looked at Shen Baihe's appearance and smiled, "However, fortunately, he has shifted the target to you." But you have to watch out for this guy, he's not a good guy. I'll go talk to Brother Li and listen to his opinion. ”

"Call Brother Li, let's two girls be safer." Shen Baihe smiled and said, "Besides, Brother Li seems to be to you—hehe." ”

"Nonsense, there is nothing." Ou Yingying blushed and hit Shen Lily with her hand.

"Okay, let's just talk nonsense!" Shen Baihe dodged, played with Ou Yingying and continued to leave.

Near noon, Shen Baihe waited for Ou Yingying and others at the school gate.

"Sister Yingying, Brother Li." A happy smile appeared on Shen Baihe's face, "I'm so happy that you guys can come." ”

"Happy birthday." Li Zhenhua handed the small gift in his hand to Shen Baihe.

"This is my gift." Ou Yingying also took out a small thing and handed it over.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Shen Baihe took the gift very happily and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's in the guest house, but it's only five or six minutes away, and I have already booked a private room yesterday." ”

A few people walked and chatted and walked to the guest house not far from Jiaotong University.

There were not many people who came to eat in the house, and there was a horse-drawn carriage parked at the door, and there was a car diagonally opposite.

"Hundred Contracts." A few people were just about to enter the restaurant when they saw a young man with oily hair and a pink face chasing him in from behind with a smile.

"You..." Shen Baihe saw this swinger, and her head seemed to be big. Ou Yingying and Li Zhenhua glanced at each other, and both frowned.

"Bai Zhixue, I heard that today is your birthday, and I am here to congratulate you." He Guigui handed over the gift with a lovely smile.

"You, how do you know?" Shen Baihe was surprised, and she didn't know whether to accept the gift or not.

"Hehe, it's a secret." He Guigui's expression made Shen Baihe want to go up and punch twice.

"Classmate He, I just want to invite a few good friends to dinner today, but it's not a birthday, I hope you don't disturb us." Shen Baihe sank her face, "As for your gift, I don't want to accept it." ”

He Guigui seemed to be a little sad, and said curtly: "Since this is the case, then I won't bother, you go into the private room to eat, and I'll sit outside." ”

Hey, Shen Baihe hated it so much that the roots of her teeth itched, and she was going to kidnap Li Zhenhua and Ou Yingying in a while, you sit outside, doesn't this ruin my plan?

He Guigui casually found a table, sat down as if he was very aggrieved, picked up the recipe and looked at it.

"Why are you faceless and skinless!" The agent who had been ambushed in the store in advance walked over and looked at He Precious viciously.

He Guigui looked up casually and scolded: "What kind of thing are you, Lao Tzu is sitting and eating here, it's your business, which bastard didn't tie his pants when he went to the toilet and exposed you." ”

"You're looking for death!" The spy was furious and raised his hand to fight.

"Hit!" He Guigui stood up nonchalantly, "If you touch a hair of Lao Tzu, I will immediately go out and ask a hundred and ten brothers to chop you a bastard." With that, he turned and walked out of the restaurant.

"Don't fight, don't fight." Shen Baihe hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to hold He Guigui.

If this makes trouble, the meal will not be able to eat, and it will not work if you want to kidnap Li Zhenhua and Ou Yingying secretly. Since you stinky boy is looking for death, then kidnap you together and see how I clean you up.
