Chapter 215: Silent Sniper, Unclear Prospects
In the distance, the window of the room was pushed open through the gap, and Chu Jiao and Zhang Chengfu stretched out the muzzle of the gun a little bit and slowly moved along the gap in the human wall, looking for a target.
Ma Xiaotian jumped out of the car, opened the car door, Saito pretended to be majestic, stepped forward, looked up at the signboard, and was about to walk inside.
"Your Excellency." Ma Xiaotian hurriedly blocked Saito without a trace, and said softly: "Take the lead and wait for Huang Jinrong to come out to greet you before going in." β
"No. 76, and I'm here with the Japanese." In a whispered whisper, the guests had mixed reactions and expressions.
"Weasel coming!" Cao Bingsheng sneered.
Shen Chen stood up and asked, "I'll go out and have a look." If something is wrong, I'll just leave. β
Cao Bingsheng stood up helplessly and said, "I'll follow!" Your stinky temper, in case of conflict, I can also persuade and persuade you. β
Shen Chen smiled and walked out.
Huang Jinrong's face was cloudy, and finally he sighed helplessly and went out with a few people.
When he arrived at the door, Huang Jinrong's face was already with a warm smile, and he clenched his fists, "Welcome, welcome, it turned out that Mr. Saito was here, Huang was flattered, please come in, please come in." β
Saito pretended to say a few kind words, and under the kind invitation of Huang Jinrong, he stepped inside. Ma Xiaotian beside him followed with a smile.
Saito was too short, and although Ma Xiaotian was a step behind him, it still blocked his body.
Chu Jiao held her breath and gently pulled the board machine.
The rifle sat back slightly, and the bullet flew out, burrowing diagonally into the back of Ma Xiaotian's head with heat.
The processed bullet rolled unbalanced in the guy's head, turning it into a mess and squeezing out the flesh of his left eye.
Ma Xiaotian fell headlong and hit Saito's back in front of him.
Saito didn't know why, so he turned around and looked at it.
Zhang Chengfu pulled the trigger, and the first shot was left to Chu Jiao, he felt that he still had more experience than her, and he chose the target faster.
Even now, Ma Xiaotian fell, Saito turned around, and the bodyguards around him hadn't reacted yet.
The barrel of the gun retreated briskly, and the bullet flew out at a speed of 765 m/s. Saito's face suddenly burst into blood, and the devil shook with the blood hole on his face, and fell backwards in a dejected manner.
It's not that there are no gunshots, but only Chu Jiao and Zhang Chengfu can hear it. The two of them put away their guns and closed the window, squatted under the window, quickly disassembled the guns, put them into the suitcase, opened the door and walked out quickly.
There was already a mess in front of the Peach Blossom Palace, and the silent bullets knocked down two important people one after another, and the traitors who acted as bodyguards hurriedly surrounded them.
But they couldn't tell where the gunman was, so they could only draw their pistols, look around, and shout wildly, looking for the gunman's location.
"Over there, the car." An agent hissed, pointing to a car that had just started and was moving forward.
"Stop him, don't let them run." Several agents shouted and rushed forward, shooting incessantly.
It's a pity that the spies just judged blindly, the car just happened to be leaving, where are the gunners?
In the midst of the indiscriminate shooting, the driver was shot and killed, and the car, riddled with bullet holes, lost control and crashed into the side of the road, stopping.
"Mom,." A middle-aged man with a meaty face opened his mouth and scolded angrily in the crowd of waiters, "That's Lao Tzu's car ......"
Shen Chen glanced at this guy, don't look fierce, he is also a rat, the driver was killed, the car was destroyed, and he didn't dare to go out to theorize.
His hand pressed on the gun on his waist, and Shen Chen was about to go out, but Cao Bingsheng grabbed his arm.
"Don't go, don't forget that this is the French Concession." Cao Bingsheng shook his head again and again, and said, "The patrol will be here soon, let them clean up this bad mess." β
Shen Chen was not afraid of these spies, and if he dared to use force with him, he would be ruthless. But since Cao Bingsheng stopped it, he couldn't do it again.
The spies tossed around, and Shen Chen watched coldly. Originally, he wanted to insert a lever to create more favorable conditions for the evacuation of Chu Jiao and others.
Now, it seems, he doesn't have to do anything. This kind of medium-range sniping, again in a city with many buildings, there is no gunshot, and it is really difficult to find the position of the sniper.
It is estimated that Chu Jiao and the others have already gotten into the car and are driving farther and farther, so there is no need to worry too much about safety.
"This is the efficiency of the patrol house in the French Concession?" Shen Chen didn't forget to taunt, pursed his lips, and said to Cao Bingsheng: "Aren't there any patrols around?" β
Cao Bingsheng smiled bitterly and said, "How can you work so hard? To say, what kind of fund is really good. In this world now, there are many people who are willing to play with their lives for money. Like themβ" He gestured to the spies.
Shen Chen smiled and didn't answer.
In the public concession, you can rely on the fund to relieve many worries about patrolling, and the French concession will be exempted! In less than a month, France was defeated, and the French Concession could no longer play a role.
It was also based on this consideration that Shen Chen decided to take more action in the French Concession. After this village, there is no such shop, and the French Concession will not be a convenient place for him to act in the future.
Finally, the people from the forensic house came. It's always late, it's always an afterthought, it's always picking up the mess.
And just after the French patrol came, the Japanese gendarmerie also arrived after receiving a call, which was much more efficient than the patrol.
Negotiating on the spot is also ripping off. The Japanese also know that it is impossible to count on the legal arrest house to solve the case, but they can only hand it over to the legal arrest house for investigation.
Moreover, they have no clues, so it is definitely not possible to let the corpse fall upside down like this. After briefly inspecting the scene and questioning the spies present, the Japanese military police carried the corpse and got out.
After this frustration, No. 76's plan to threaten to win over Huang Jinrong and other gang figures was completely bankrupt, not only losing face, but also hitching in a Japanese.
"I've seen it all!" Huang Jinrong squinted his eyes slightly, and his hands trembled slightly, "What should be said, Wan Rong has told you, things are different today, I don't care what your plans are, and I can't control it." However, as a senior, if I see you stepping on the Hades Palace, but I am afraid that you will be annoyed and don't say anything, then I, an old man, am sorry for the juniors. β
"Old master." Apprentice Jin Dingxun hurriedly cheered, "Everyone understands your old hard work, now that it's dark outside, who wants to wade into troubled waters if you have a family and a job!" β
Yao Songru, the owner of the Cangzhou Hotel, frowned, and said with some resentment: "Mr. Huang is reasonable, but these people are too disgraceful to give you face and kill people at your birthday feast." β
"Face is not given by others, but earned by yourself." Gu Siye said in a weird manner: "If you let the Oriental people enter the door and go out and kill them again, it will be even more unlikely." β
Huang Jinrong's eyebrows jumped, and he opened his eyes, "Gu Si, you can come today, I am very grateful for your affection." What was before, just let it pass! I'm old, face this thing, hehe, don't do it. β
"Old master, you can't say that." Qiu Wanrong was a little unhappy, "This matter must be investigated, and you can't pretend to be dumb." β
"Don't talk about that." Huang Jinrong waved his hand, "My words are right, you can help whoever you want, however, I advise you to wait, you will eat bullets if you stand in the wrong line." β
"The wine and food are cold, can't this birthday banquet be opened?" Gu Siye shouted loudly.
Huang Jinrong glanced at Gu Siye, smiled bitterly, and walked in first.
β¦β¦β¦β¦..
Those who are not strong-willed, of course, cannot talk about loyalty; Those who are greedy and afraid will have the greater ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
The ruffians who took refuge in No. 76 just wanted to take advantage of the Japanese and No. 76 in order to get promoted and make a fortune. But if they risk their lives, the enthusiasm of these people will be greatly reduced.
In this round of confrontation, because No. 76 is in the light, Shen Chen and others are in the dark, and there is information provided by all sides, it can be said that they have the upper hand.
And Zhang Xiaolin, Huang Jinrong, Gao Xinbao and other tycoons remained silent, and a large number of low-level hooligan minions also restrained a lot for the sake of their lives.
Shen Chen got the information of No. 76 from Cao Bingsheng, so he simply made a mistake and did not report it as originally planned to be responsible for the name of "Blood Flag Gate".
"No. 76 doesn't look like it's going to be defeated!" Chu Jiao looked at the information that Shen Chen brought, her face was a little dissatisfied, "The Japanese are still vigorously supporting, and more pseudo-policemen have also entered Huxi." β
Shen Chen said lightly: "No matter what, the Japanese will not send troops to openly enter the concession." Because they are not ready, if they clash with Britain and the United States at this time, won't they be a surprise? β
"Do you want to continue to act and completely defeat No. 76 in one go." Chu Jiao said tentatively: "If you wait until No. 76 recovers, it will be even more crazy to bite people." β
Shen Chen shook his head and said, "This is not something that a few of us can do, and neither can the agents from Chongqing." The traitors are inexhaustible, and this is the crux of the matter. β
Chu Jiao shrugged her shoulders and said, "If you don't kill, won't there be more?" β
"In a hurry." Shen Chen pursed his lips, "If you don't beat the vicious dog to death, you want to go directly into the house, and you don't even have a little patience." β
Chu Jiao smiled and said, "Actually, if we want to kill the big ones, such as Ding Motun and Li Shijun, Wang Thief is better." β
"I'm not a god." Shen Chen rolled his eyes, "Let's take a rest first, and then talk about it when we have the opportunity." β
Chu Jiao nodded helplessly and said, "My brother may have to go to the United States in a while, and he is doing my father's ideological work." I figured that when they were gone, I would be completely free. β
Shen Chen glanced at Chu Jiao and said, "What are your plans?" β
"I want to go to the rear first." Chu Jiao groaned and said: "It doesn't have to be that far away from Chongqing, Tunxi in southern Anhui is very close. β
As the Sino-Japanese war spread to the Yangtze River, many cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Anhui fell one after another.
However, some party, government, and military organs, cultural organizations, and colleges and universities were evacuated urgently, and they quickly moved in batches to the rear -- the ancient town of Tunxi, Huizhou.
A large number of refugees and exiles from the occupied areas have also left their hometowns and poured into Tunxi. The universities and middle schools that have moved in include Shanghai Law School, Shanghai University of Law and Politics, and Nanjing Anhui Middle School. At the same time, wealthy businessmen from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai have also moved here.
Laotunxi, which is located in the mountain city of southern Anhui, suddenly became a small rear area in the southeast and became the political, economic and cultural center of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces. There are many people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the prosperity of the market makes it known as "Little Shanghai".
Shen Chen looked at Chu Jiao and guessed, "What did Ma Mingyu say?" β
"Some of them are what he says, and some of them are what I listen to." Chu Jiao said: "I know what you want to say, is it a security issue?" β
Shen Chen nodded and said, "Although it is not far from Shanghai, Shanghai is surrounded by Japanese-occupied areas, and it may not be easy to travel through the past." I think it's good to go the other way, albeit a little longer. β
"It's a lot longer, not a little. And, not yet to cross the battlefield? Chu Jiao knew that the route Shen Chen was talking about was usually to take a boat from Shanghai to Guangdong or Vietnam, and then manage to cross the battlefield and enter the southwest.
Shen Chen smiled: "You can go further, from Myanmar to Yunnan." β
Chu Jiao pouted and shook her head, and said, "Let's take Tunxi as the first choice." Although they had to cross the Japanese-occupied area, the guerrillas around Shanghai were able to hold out, which shows that the Japanese occupation was not consolidated. β
After a pause, Chu Jiao asked Shen Chen again, "What about you, what are you going to do?" Running to Macau for a safe birthday, I don't think it's so easy, right? β
Shen Chen groaned and didn't answer immediately.
Macau was too small, less than 20 square kilometers at that time. Although there are coasts on three sides, they are blocked by the sediment washed down by the mouth of the Pearl River, and even 1,000-ton ships cannot dock.
Moreover, although Japan did not occupy Macao during World War II, sea and land transportation was always under the strict control of the Japanese.
In other words, if Shen Chen arrived in Macau, he could only remain incognito and pray that the Japanese would not know.
If the Japanese wanted to arrest him, they would probably be allowed to do so if they made a request to the Governor of Macao and used a little force to intimidate him.
According to Shen Chen's tenet of life, he will never put his fate in the hands of others, nor will he hope for luck.
Therefore, he sent Lu Shuang and Lili to Macau, away from the danger of Shanghai, but he did not plan to run there as well.
"To be truly safe, it is better to go to the United States." Chu Jiao suggested: "Anyway, you have a good relationship with that Alcott and Desa." If that's the idea, my brother can help. β
Shen Chen smiled and said, "Besides, there is still plenty of time, so I am not busy making decisions." β
Although Chu Jiao made a suggestion, she didn't want Shen Chen to leave in her heart.
The greater the ability, the heavier the responsibility, she felt that Shen Chen should exert all her energy, instead of looking for a place to live in the midst of a national crisis.
Shen Chen was also hesitating, he didn't know when the sense of justice and mission that gradually filled his body would end.
But he believed that Heaven would guide him with that wonderful feeling.
Of course, in that era and that environment, Shen Chen was also subtly changing.
Because he has a clear conscience, believes in the justice and justice of the world, and looks at the blood of his fellow citizens, he cannot remain indifferent.
