If it is said that the foreigners of the police department of the Ministry of Industry are ignorant of the infiltration of the Japanese and the control of the Japanese patrol, it is too much to underestimate their IQ.

On the one hand, the foreign adults did not dare to provoke the strength of the Japanese army in Shanghai too much; On the other hand, they were also doing everything possible to prevent the Japanese from taking control of the concession.

And Shen Chen, as a hardcore pro-British and American faction on the surface, was naturally taken care of and favored, hoping that he could become a pawn in the hands of foreign adults against the Japanese.

This allowed Shen Chen to get some relatively confidential information from Mason, of course, this must have been the instruction of the high-level of the Ministry of Industry.

The high-level officials of the Ministry of Industry and Everett, as well as Mason, must not know that Shen Chen is a top killer who walks in the dark, let alone that Shen Chen has his own helpers.

Their purpose in doing this was, first, to make Shen Chen hate the Japanese more and serve the concession authorities more loyally; In addition, they didn't want to lose Shen Chen, and they also hoped that Shen Chen could play a greater role.

"There are already a lot of Chinese arresters in the patrol house that have been bought and controlled by the Japanese." Mason smiled bitterly, handed Shen Chen a note, and solemnly reminded, "Shen, you have to be more careful in the future." This assassination attempt fails, and they may do it against you later. ”

Although I didn't say who did it, the meaning was already clear. At the same time, Mason also told Shen Chen that this case may end here.

"I understand, sir." Shen Chen took the note, didn't look at it, and put it in his pocket.

Mason was very appreciative, and he didn't know what kind of confidence Shen Chen had, and he didn't have any fearful expression.

"I will bring my wife to your party, and thank you for the invitation." Mason took a pen and wrote a document and handed it to Shen Chen, and said with a smile: "Your application has been approved, although it has been delayed for a few days. ”

"Thank you, sir." Shen Chen took it with both hands, put it away after reading it, and saluted and retreated.

Back in his office, Shen Chen closed the door, took out a note and opened it to take a look.

The note had some names written on it, some of them were known, some of them had just heard of it, and some of it was even more unfamiliar. But there are notes behind these names, and they all work in the patrol house of the public concession.

Obviously, these are the list of people who were bought and controlled by the Japanese in the possession of the Ministry of Industry.

After Shen Chen read it three times, he took out a match, lit the note, and turned it into ashes.

Although it is not unforgettable, it is not far behind, and Shen Chen feels that it is a reward for himself in the dark - his memory is getting stronger and stronger.

On the other hand, this may also confirm Shen Chen's conjecture, he was not reborn in this era for no reason and possessed someone, that should be a responsibility.

At the same time, it also proves that what he has been doing all along is right.

Is it the messenger of the goddess of hatred, or the judge of the Heavenly Chin faction, or the lightning that pierces the darkness? Shen Chen didn't think much about it, and he didn't even care.

He only knows that his responsibility and mission is to trample on sin and fight his way out of the bloody path in order to obtain the promise of the bright afterlife of his dreams.

Mason's intelligence was very useful to Shen Chen. Cao Bingsheng also revealed to him before that the Japanese had spent money to buy some Chinese arresters in the concession, known as the "Ten Brothers," in order to facilitate the Japanese to engage in spy activities in the concession.

After the verification of the two, Shen Chen felt that he had caught the tail of this "ten brothers". All that remains is meticulous reconnaissance and hunting them all.

Of course, Mason would definitely not have thought that the list he gave had been equated with death, he just wanted Shen Chen to be careful of these guys, so as not to be plotted by others.

But Shen Chen will not do it easily, at least he has to find a credible reason to kill these guys, and he can clear his suspicions after doing it.

In this regard, Shen Chen already had an idea, that is, with the help of the "Blood Flag Gate", kill these traitors, get rid of the threats around him, and eradicate the minions and accomplices of the Japanese.

As for the breakthrough, Shen Chen has already found it, and that is Inspector Wang, who has an old grudge against him.

Moreover, Shen Chen also had murderous intent towards Akagi Qinzhi.

Because, as long as there is this cunning and nimble guy, the patrols that are bribed and controlled will only increase, not decrease.

Moreover, the foreign adults in the concession have become more and more unable to control this Akagi.

Akagi is very low-key on the surface. He even changed his name when he was transferred to China.

The high-ranking Japanese secret service officer, whose real name is Akagi Shinzo, changed his name to "kinyuki" means "hoping that foreigners will think of himself as an easily approachable person."

Fluent in English, good in Chinese, and previously engaged in foreign police work for more than ten years, Akagi is considered the best person to deal with the Japanese and the concession authorities.

Of course, it is not easy to assassinate this cunning guy.

But being listed by Shen Chen, Akagi's life can be regarded as a countdown.

Shen Chen's plan was over, and he was just about to go out, but a patrol on duty came to report and handed him a note, saying that it was handed to him by a friend who claimed to be Shen Chen.

Why are there so many notes today? Shen Chen sent away the patrol, opened the note, and found that it was only scribbled with the name of a teahouse and the time to meet him.

Such an unknown note did not even have a name written, Shen Chen could have ignored it. But what caught his attention was the pattern in the lower right corner of the note, much like the throwing knife he had secretly hidden at the scene of the assassination.

……………

In Shanghai, doing something slowly, usually called "incubation", such as incubating the sun, incubating the teahouse, incubating the mixed hall, etc., was once an important way of life and social interaction for Shanghainese.

And "incubating teahouse" is the most traditional pastime, in all kinds of teahouses, there are "those who hold pots, there are bowls, there are those who sit and drink, there are those who lie down and sip", there are "lingering day and night, happy and forgetful, not to waste time unemployment as a pity".

Since the teahouse can become a place for all levels of society to linger, it is natural that there are also grades.

Some are tea rooms that are only for members of the community to drink, and they are not allowed to enter unless they are introduced. Naturally, the environment of the tea room is pleasant, the furnishings are elegant, the tea sets are fine, and all of them are employed by workers, hospitality services, and everything is available.

As for teahouses that are open to the public, the conditions are much worse.

The teahouse that Shen Chen is now boarding is not the highest grade, but it is not something that ordinary farmers and workers can afford.

At this time, it was just after noon, and the tea customers were thinning, and he saw the man sitting by the window at a glance.

No different from other tea guests, this man who was with Weiwei but quietly left the hospital held a teapot and sat in front of the window, drinking slowly.

The surrounding tea guests chatting, bragging, smoking, rubbing their feet, and the tea room carrying a copper long-spouted kettle, rushing around, shouting and greeting, and flushing water to make tea, all seem to have nothing to do with him.
