Chapter Seventy-Five: Ballroom Pastime, Assassination and Arrest

As for Shen Chen, he had to appear in another place at about the same time, and have a convincing witness, that is, to create an alibi.

Regardless of whether anyone doubted himself, Shen Chen felt that he had to take advantage of such an opportunity. Similarly, he was also ready to provide cover for Chu Jiao and the others, using similar methods.

Long-range sniping, close-range shooting, and assassination operations involve two methods. That is, in the future, Shen Chen, Chu Jiao and others will adopt common methods.

That's right, killing people is nothing more than two ways, long-distance and close-up, which is not unusual. But either way, there is a world of difference between professional and amateur.

When Shen Chen came up with a plan, Chu Jiao suddenly suggested whether he could do it when the day was over. There are two patrols in one shift, and when the shift is handed over, the four get together.

This was a bold suggestion, and after thinking about it, Shen Chen vetoed Chu Jiao's suggestion of ambushing during the shift change, but redesigned the coherence of the two operations.

Because, when the patrol is handed over, it is not too late, and the street is not deserted, although the vigilance of the daily arrest should be very low at this time.

And to carry out a close-range assassination, it is better to make the Japanese capture unguarded. And in addition to acquaintances who can make Japanese catchers relax their vigilance, Japanese people will also make them less vigilant.

Following this line of thought, Shen Chen came up with a solution, that is, to let Zhao Youcai and Chu Jiao learn two sentences of Japanese. You don't have to be fluent and difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, as long as you pretend to be drunk and vague, you can get through.

Zhang Chengfu is responsible for distracting the attention of the daily arrest, and the three of them cooperate to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

In order to be foolproof, Shen Chen also asked Chu Jiao and others to do a few drills. He thought it was okay, and he was ready.

With the information provided by Shen Chen, Chu Jiao, Zhao Youcai and Zhang Chengfu set out after dusk to ambush the Japanese patrol at the predetermined location.

According to the division of labor, Zhao Youcai was responsible for supporting and attracting the attention of the Japanese in the car, while Chu Jiao and Zhang Chengfu were assassinated at close range.

Three people kill four people a day, and one big one is done.

And Shen Chen invited Luo Deng, John and others to dance in the dance hall in advance, as a reply to the last pastime event.

In addition to the few people who went to dance with him last time, Deputy Inspector Mason also accepted the invitation and came in a car.

Two cars, seven or eight people, Shen Chen and the others went to the fairy palace dance hall in the French Concession, although it was not the best, but it was also a first-class dance hall.

In the car, John made fun of Roden, who was not angry about it, and said self-deprecatingly that he had drunk too much last time and was fascinated by the White Russian Dancer, and only realized what had happened after counting the money in his wallet.

Of course, Roden said that he had learned this lesson and promised to just dance and give a ticket, and would never invite dancers to join a table for a drink, especially Belarusian dancers.

Rickshaws, jazz, high-slit cheongsam...... Fragrant sideburns, light singing and dancing...... The atmosphere of old Shanghai, in the French Concession, in the dance hall, may be the strongest.

After buying a dance ticket and ordering champagne and beer, Shen Chen and the others sat at the table, first drank and chatted for a while, and then went to find a dance partner to dance.

Mason didn't end up for the time being, but took the opportunity to talk to Shen Chen alone.

"Shen, you'll be promoted soon." Mason raised his beer and touched his glass with Shen Chen, and said earnestly: "But this requires an opportunity and a merit. And not because of being tough on the Japanese, you understand? ”

Shen Chen thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Understood." Thank you, sir, for your advice. ”

"It's your own effort." Mason shook his head and said with a smile: "The same will be true in the future, as long as you do your duty, there will be no problem with the future." ”

Shen Chenlian claimed that it was, looking like he was convinced. But he slandered in his heart, what kind of future, you British guys are going to go to concentration camps, not to mention me, a thorn in the side of the Japanese!

Mason finished conveying what the higher-ups, or Everett, meant, drank another glass of wine and got up to find the dancer and go to be merry.

It seems that he is against the Japanese, and as long as he is justified and well-founded, he is still very satisfied with the Ministry of Industry. After all, the Japanese were violating the rights of the concession.

As for promoting yourself, it's not too unusual. Ability is one thing, but pro-Britain and the United States and anti-Japanese are also very important.

After taking office, Akagi increased the number of daily arrests, increased the salary of daily arrests, and bribed and recruited Chinese patrols, which has put pressure on the Ministry of Industry and Bureau.

The promotion of patrols and arrests that did not deal with the Japanese formed a factor that restricted the development of Akagi's kin, which is now the countermeasure of the Ministry of Industry.

But as soon as he confronted the Japanese, he was immediately promoted, and things were done too explicitly, and it was not good.

In the case of Akagi Kinyuki, the approach taken is justified, although some are not convincing.

Therefore, if Shen Chen wants to be promoted, he needs to make some contributions, and the Ministry of Industry and Bureau can justify him and promote him.

These bigwigs from the Ministry of Industry and Bureau really lack courage, and simple things have to be complicated.

Shen Chen sneered a little sarcastically, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly.

…………

As the figure walked, it became longer and lighter under the street lamp; The shadow was behind him again, and the eyes could not see it, only the street lights were bright in the line of sight.

Mitsui and his companions patrol the streets, and the day hunters are assassinated one after another, all at night, which makes them both very vigilant.

Moreover, the daily arrest stock has also made precautionary provisions. For example, the patrol area has become smaller, the number of patrols has increased, the communication between patrol groups has increased, and it is necessary to beware of the proximity of suspicious people.

Therefore, the holsters on the waists of Mitsui and his companions are open, and they can quickly draw their guns. Their eyes were also watching every pedestrian who walked by, even though pedestrians were scarce as it got dark.

From the bend in the road ahead, two figures, a man and a woman, walked slowly, and seemed to be talking as they went.

Mitsui and his companions stared at the two men cautiously and carefully, not daring to let their guard down.

The two men got closer and closer, and the sound of talking came over.

Mitsui clearly heard a slightly vague Japanese phrase "Yaga Yaru", and then a woman's whispered words, also in Japanese, which he couldn't hear very clearly.

Glancing at his companion, Mitsui felt that he was also relieved.

When they were less than ten meters apart, the sound of a car suddenly came from behind them, and two lights came over.

Mitsui and his companions immediately turned around, stared warily, and put their hands on the gun.

A car drove by, accompanied by the sound of brakes, and stopped very close to Mitsui and his companion, the door opened, but no one came down.

Suspicious, very suspicious! It was still a little far away, but Mitsui and his companions drew their pistols and were on full alert.

Bah, Bah, Bah!

A dull sound suddenly sounded behind him, and Mitsui only felt like he had been punched hard in the back, and before he could feel the pain, his head thuded, and all his consciousness was blank.
