With the gradual withdrawal of British troops from Shanghai in August 1940, the American Marines stationed in Shanghai also began to withdraw in batches at the end of the year.

Speaking of which, the American Marines in Shanghai had only seven hundred and fifty men, attached to the 4th Regiment. The U.S. government knew very well that such troops and equipment would not be able to withstand the Japanese attack.

Therefore, rather than having no military value, or surrendering without a fight in humiliation, and taking the initiative to retreat, it is still a decent option to retain.

"In three days, you'll leave Shanghai with two students aboard the President Harrison." Shen Chen handed the ticket to Sun Haitao, "Although it is a passenger ship, it is a ship of the American shipping company, and there are more than 100 American Marines. So, this is probably the safest way to do it. ”

Sun Haitao also deeply agreed with this and said: "Two students, are you protecting me? ”

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "The cultural relics treasure will be packed in three leather cases with sandwiches, and the three of you will carry them separately. It's also to make sure you don't have to know each other beforehand. ”

"Understood." Sun Haitao smiled and said, "I understand that eggs are not put in one basket." ”

Shen Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Your identity is a priest, in addition to clothing, I will also teach you to make up clothes." Also, you read this book for the next two days. ”

Saying that, Shen Chen gave a Bible to Sun Haitao, "Just recite a few paragraphs, it's what those gods often talk about, God bless you and something like that." ”

Sun Haitao laughed and said, "Don't practice this specially, I graduated from a church school, and I still remember some of the ways and words of those pastors." The main thing is to pretend to be sanctimonious, just draw a cross. ”

Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then let's start dressing up first, if you don't distinguish carefully, no one should recognize you." ”

Sun Haitao sat down honestly and let Shen Chen fiddle with him, and even applied a kind of paint to his complexion.

After such a pick-up, Shen Chen looked left and right, felt very satisfied, nodded with a smile, and handed the mirror to Sun Haitao.

Sun Haitao looked in the mirror and couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise. The gap between the front and back images is really big, and if you put on glasses and wear your outfit, even if you are an acquaintance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recognize him at a glance.

"It should be no problem now, even I don't know myself!" Sun Haitao's confidence has greatly increased.

Shen Chen took out the camera, asked Sun Haitao to sit down, took two pictures of him, and said, "That's it, I'll make you a fake document, even if everything is ready." ”

Sun Haitao let out a sigh of relief, and he was simply impressed by Shen Chen.

The door is wide, the craftsmanship is fine, the plan is thoughtful and meticulous, and the water is not leaky. If you can still miss in this way, you can only blame yourself for your bad life and bad luck.

Shen Chen carefully taught Sun Haitao to make up before going upstairs to rest.

Handled one thing at a time, arranged properly, Shen Chen's ease did not last. Because, the feeling of leaving is getting stronger and stronger.

There is some anticipation and some apprehension. Shen Chen didn't know what kind of journey he would begin, and he didn't know who he would possess himself?

But he's almost certain that it will have something to do with Mengjie. The biggest regret in the previous life, if he can make up for it in this life, he is not afraid of life and death, and he is not afraid of difficulties.

"Yaga Yaru!" Fukuyama made a rare foul mouth, threw the newspaper on the table, and gritted his teeth in anger.

The newspaper reprinted a report in Hong Kong about a patriotic businessman surnamed Sun carrying cultural relics and national treasures, and through hardships and dangers, arrived safely in Hong Kong, crushing the Japanese attempt to plunder.

There were also two photos attached to the report, which were not very clear, but Fukuyama recognized that they were the national treasures he had dreamed of.

Now, not only have these artifacts been thousands of miles away, but Fukuyama is powerless to do anything about it. And his own losses, painstaking looting are gone.

When I think about it, my heart hurts, and I get annoyed. Fukuyama breathed out of his nostrils like a beast, and wanted to break that hateful creature to pieces.

Of course, Fukuyama still has hope that his own batch of things should still be in Shanghai. After all, it hasn't been a long time, and many people have been sent to check and monitor the wharves and other transportation arteries, and it is not easy to ship them out of Shanghai.

Moreover, being able to kill people and rob things, and get out safely, this guy is not ordinary. In this case, Fukuyama felt that there were still some clues to follow.

The "Blood Flag Gate" has been stained with too much Japanese blood, although there has been no substantial breakthrough under repeated investigations. But there are still objects of suspicion, and Shen Chen is one of them.

If it weren't for Shen Chen's identity as a senior police detective of the Ministry of Industry, the Japanese would have done it a long time ago. And it is better not to assassinate the kind of assassination, which has proven to be the most likely to humiliate the Japanese.

Without evidence, Shen Chen cannot be dealt with in an open way, at least the Ministry of Industry will not agree. Although the public concession authorities have repeatedly compromised with the Japanese, the final bottom line remains.

And to break the bottom line means war. Don't look at the Japanese clamoring so much, but going to war with Britain and the United States is not something that some people can decide.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Akiyama pushed the door open and walked in, reporting to Fukuyama.

"There is nothing unusual about Xu Huaiyi, his gang is still looking for targets, but they are becoming more and more impatient." Akiyama paused, glanced at Fukuyama, and pointed out in particular, "Xu Huaiyi is the same, it seems to be perfunctory. ”

Fukuyama nodded, he was mentally prepared for such a situation. Just work hard and don't see any money, how can the gang people do their best?

As for Xu Huaiyi, he also has to take into account the idea of helping the public, so he can't pay for his brothers to work hard, right?

"What about Shen Chen, what's wrong with him?" Fukuyama knew that it was almost in vain, and the spies who were monitoring Shen Chen did not dare to come forward at all, and what valuable information could they get.

Akiyama grinned secretly and replied truthfully: "Shen Chen has had a hot fight with a female student recently, shopping and watching movies, like a couple. In addition, according to the internal information we got from the Ministry of Industry Bureau, Shen Chen seems to be interested in seeking the post of chief inspector of the former US Marine Corps Defense Zone. ”

After the U.S. Marines withdrew from Shanghai one after another, the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry announced that the patrol house would maintain law and order in the original defense area of its public concession.

Since these defense areas are adjacent to the Huxi Gangland, according to Shen Chen's consistent hostile attitude towards the Huxi thugs, it is reasonable for him to want to be transferred to this area.

Fukuyama only thought about this information for a moment, and felt that it was not relevant to the overall situation, so he continued to ask: "The scene of Miyagi-kun's killing has been investigated, and the traces of the fight are obvious. Although Miyagi-kun was shot from behind, he was able to resist his attack head-on, and the murderer's martial arts skills should be quite good. In your opinion, does Shen Chen have such kung fu? ”

Shen Chen has always been known for his marksmanship, and his skills should be agile and flexible, but melee combat is almost unknown to outsiders.

Akiyama thought for a moment and said, "I don't think his martial arts skills are necessarily very good, otherwise he wouldn't be perfunctory in the competition with Miyagi-kun." If you want to say that kung fu is powerful, Xu Huaiyi is one. ”

Xu Huaiyi?! Fukuyama frowned, a little dissatisfied with Akiyama's always targeting Xu Huaiyi.

Akiyama pondered for a moment and continued: "Xu Huaiyi relied on his fists and feet and flying knives to get into the situation, it's not that he doesn't want to use a gun, but it's not very convenient. After all, he is a figure in the rivers and lakes, not like Shen Chen, he is a police officer. ”

Fukuyama fell into deep thought, Akiyama was right, the characters in the rivers and lakes, if anyone didn't have two hits, they would have been trampled under the feet of others.

But to say that Xu Huaiyi is a murderer, Fukuyama still doesn't believe it very much.

"Moreover, Xu Huaiyi has a good relationship with Shen Chen." Akiyama said: "Xu Huaiyi's status in the public concession today is inseparable from Shen Chen's covert support. Xu Huaiyi's subordinates have our eyeliner, and these things can't be hidden. ”

Fushan bowed slightly, there was a reason to be suspicious, if Shen Chen and Xu Huaiyi were acting together, it would be reasonable.

"Some time ago, the iron arm was missing, the flower-fronted tiger was tied, and the forces under him were hit. Xu Huaiyi took the opportunity to expand and got involved in the sixteen-shop wharf. Akiyama pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "Now it seems that it is difficult to guarantee that he did not do these things." ”

Fukuyama was a little moved this time, Akiyama had done so much investigation, and Xu Huaijiu's suspicion really became bigger.

Because, the slaughter of the gang with the iron arm is very cool, and in one fell swoop, the other gangs are silent, and they dare not act in a high-profile manner.

And this method now seems to have the shadow of the "blood flag gate". Switching to that kind of inter-gang fighting would never be like this.

"Xu Huaiyi's suspicion is indeed very big." Fukuyama finally affirmed Akiyama's suspicions and said slowly: "His relationship with Shen Chen is also worthy of in-depth investigation. Akiyama-kun, other people who have a good relationship with Shen Chen, you also have to send someone to monitor it, don't relax. ”

"Hello!" Akiyama bowed his head and stood upright, and said, "I didn't relax my humble duties, but I didn't get any valuable clues. ”

"What about the schoolgirl who is close to Shen Chen?" Fukuyama reminded, "Focus on surveillance, when necessary—" Fukuyama hesitated, not knowing how to give the order clearly.

Qiu Shan thought for a while and said, "I think it's better not to startle the snake for the time being, Shen Chen is cautious and cautious, this may be his rare weakness, and he may have a breakthrough." ”

Fukuyama nodded and smiled appreciatively: "Akiyama-kun's thoughtfulness, then let it go!" ”

Akiyama bowed his head again, turned around and walked out.

"When are you leaving Shanghai?" Chu Jiao leaned back in the chair, frowned slightly, and looked at Ma Mingyu opposite.

Ma Mingyu smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few days?" ”

"A few days? Be specific. Chu Jiao rolled her eyes, not satisfied with such an answer.

Ma Mingyu thought about it, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "I really can't be sure." I'm going to wait for the people from Nanjing and arrange for them to be in Shanghai. ”

"Them?" Chu Jiao asked suspiciously, "Isn't it a person?" ”

Ma Mingyu nodded and said, "Two people, a fake couple." Replace one of the people who left Shanghai, the name, I can't say. ”

Chu Jiao didn't know, if Shen Chen was there, he would definitely be able to guess that it was Cao Yixin who was going to be replaced. As a long-term hidden agent, Cao Yixin is gone, and someone must make up for it.

Chu Jiao fell into thought, thinking about her own plan, and she might have to make adjustments in time.

"What, you're in a hurry to leave?" Ma Mingyu asked, "Is there something wrong, you said last time that there are spies spying on you." ”

Chu Jiao pursed her lips and said, "It's not that serious." It's just that if you lead the way, it will be easier to leave Shanghai and join the anti-Japanese war team. ”

Ma Mingyu nodded and said, "Since it's not serious, let's wait for me to finish dealing with the matter and leave together." The guerrilla forces in the suburbs of Shanghai are numerous, and some of them are like bandits, and it is really easy for those who do not understand the situation to find the wrong way. ”

Chu Jiao glanced at Ma Mingyu with some complaints, and said, "I just don't want to be blindfolded, so I found you!" and there is this, and there is that. If I couldn't wait, I would leave with someone else. ”

Ma Mingyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't." Who are you going to go with, but don't be deceived, run into the miscellaneous cards and suffer from anger. ”

"What kind of miscellaneous cards?" Chu Jiao didn't like to hear this, and said: "Now those who can shoot devils with guns are not all good." It's because you look down on this and that, and you don't see people in the same way. ”

Ma Mingyu smiled bitterly, what can he do about it, the decision is in Chongqing, the resources are more limited, and if you want to treat everyone equally, you can't do it at all!

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Ma Mingyu said: "You wait patiently for a few days, and you will definitely not delay." Even if I can't afford it, I can still send someone to be a guide. ”

"That's right." Ma Mingyu remembered something again and asked, "Who are you going to go with, Zhao Youcai and Zhang Chengfu, I know, is there anyone else?" ”

Chu Jiao lowered her eyelids and said a little angrily: "Don't beat around the bush and ask, who else, I will tell you then." ”

"Look at you, your temper is getting bigger and bigger." Ma Mingyu smiled, not angry, and said: "Then I will arrange it first, and I will definitely satisfy you." ”

Chu Jiao let out a long breath and muttered, "When will the fake couple come, there is no exact time, and it is really a bit troublesome." ”

…………….

The train runs on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, and in the night, the trees and scenery outside are brushing backwards, and occasionally passing by a small village, it is also completely unlit and dark.

There were not many people in the second-class car, Wu Dongliang and Ma Chunhua sat side by side, and no one had anything to say.

Wu Dongliang suddenly received an order to go to Shanghai, and he and Ma Chunhua met for the first time on the train. The two of them didn't know that the Nanjing Military Command Station had been destroyed, and the sudden transfer saved their lives.

Ma Chunhua stretched out his hand to support his chin, and rested his elbow on the small table opposite, just in time to see Wu Dongliang sideways.

Looking at it, Ma Chunhua wanted to laugh a little, this young man seemed so cramped to stay with him, he could even be said to be shy, his eyelids moved straight, but he was pretending to be asleep and didn't dare to open his eyes.

Hehe, I'll just look at you like this, see how long you can endure it, Ma Chunhua's mischievous heart, Wu Dongliang can't stand it.

I couldn't sleep if I wanted to sleep, I opened my eyes, but I was facing Ma Chunhua's aggressive eyes, and in the end I was really uncomfortable, so I had to pretend that I had just woken up, opened my eyes and smiled, got up and said, "I'll go and make it easier." ”
