No one expected that the struggle over the China Reserve Bonds would be fierce and cruel to this extent.

In the eyes of the outside world, this is a strong revenge for the kidnapping and killing of Bank of China employees by No. 76, which can be called the treatment of others in the way of others.

The killing of Li Shijun's family members, coupled with the heavy losses of No. 76, almost brought his work to a standstill. This gave someone in Chongqing a wake-up call, and he reacted immediately.

Zhou Fohai's mother and father-in-law were taken from Hunan to Xifeng in Guizhou by the military commanders, and they were naturally entertained with good food and lodging, and they were by no means thrown into prison.

But whether this is a hostage or not, you Zhou Fohai should know, and you Yang Shuhui should also understand. Okay, Zhou Fohai can not want a mother, don't you Yang Shuhui also want a father?

The news was quickly sent to Zhou Fohai through the special agent Cheng Kexiang, who cried bitterly with the letters of his mother and father-in-law.

Although Zhou did not say that he would switch to Chongqing, the issuance of the Central Reserve Bonds was no longer pressing on No. 76, and the clamor for blood for blood also died down temporarily.

At this point, the battle around banks and currency came to an end for the time being, and the Central Reserve Bills were still resisted in the concession, so they had to focus on the Japanese-occupied areas first.

At this time, the Wang puppet group was worried and working hard to get the recognition of its master.

It turned out that although the Japanese agreed to the appearance of the Wang puppet clique in Nanjing, the Japanese government did not give any face and refused to admit it.

The Wang puppet clique hurriedly proposed to the Japanese side through various channels that the Japanese side must send a permanent ambassador to give the Wang regime some face, but the big Japanese ignored it.

The reason is simple: representatives of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters were still trying to negotiate "peace talks" with representatives of the Chongqing government at this time.

In the eyes of the Japanese, Chiang had an army and territory, and he was the only person who could influence the war in China. Which of these people brought by you Wang Jingwei has the strength, but they are just playing tricks and trying to reap benefits.

No matter how much the Wang puppet clique struggled to get the recognition of its master, the Shanghai Concession seemed to have ushered in a period of relative calm.

Banks in Chongqing are open, and the gates are protected by armored vehicles from patrol houses.

Similarly, Wang's puppet China Savings Bank has continued to operate under the protection of the patrol house, albeit with few customers.

But the calm is only superficial, or rather temporary.

The haphazard nature of terrorist activity, as well as the atmosphere of weariness, led to a certain desire for order.

At the very least, the better-off Shanghai residents, including foreigners, are willing to accept a new kind of political reassurance.

But the calm inside the concession does not mean the peace outside.

Yin Zhanqing, a senior detective of the Huxi Special Police Headquarters, worked in the police department of the Ministry of Industry for 16 years, and later participated in the "peace movement" led by Wang Wei and became a traitor.

On this day, he had just stepped out of the car parked at the door of Huxi's house, and a bullet flew quickly and hit his forehead. The bodyguards rushed him to the hospital, but he could only push him into the morgue.

Baron Dashang was also the president of the French General Association and the French Friendship Association, and was close to Fu Xiao'an, and was appointed honorary advisor to the puppet city government.

On that morning, while on his way to his office in Saint-Anna, Baron Dashang was shot at close range on the second floor of the building and died on his way to the hospital.

In addition to the terrorist activities in western Shanghai, there are signs of increasing tensions in the Hongkou area.

According to Japanese marines and gendarmes, they arrested a large number of Chongqing agents who had infiltrated Hongkou.

What the Japanese claimed, may be the truth. The indiscriminate killing operation continued, and the Japanese soldiers and sailors did not dare to act alone in Hongkou, and even the sentry posts on duty were extremely nervous, even to the extent that the grass and trees were all soldiers.

A Japanese agent thought he had seen a terrorist in the street, so he pulled out a pistol and opened fire. As a result, all the bridges leading to Hongkou were blocked, and traffic stopped for five hours.

Under such circumstances, the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry once again convened a meeting of taxpayers in Shanghai and approved the proposal to increase the additional contribution by 40 percent.

With the passage of the new tax proposal, the establishment of a special police team to patrol the western suburbs has gradually become a reality. Of course, patrolling the western suburbs means that the patrol house has to deal with villains and killers on a daily basis.

………….

"You're not going to the Huxi SWAT team?" Chu Jiao didn't have doubts about Shen Chen's decision, but wanted to hear him say why.

Shen Chen smiled faintly and said: "The so-called SWAT team is a police officer selected by the puppet government, but the police officers are jointly appointed by the police department, the puppet regime and the Japanese. You say, is such a hodgepodge suitable for me? ”

Chu Jiao nodded and said, "Without capable subordinates, it's useless to be a police officer." Maybe you're going to fight alone, and maybe someone will shoot you with a black gun. Well, it really can't go. ”

The concession authorities were unwilling to give up the cross-border road construction area to the Japanese, so they picked on the soft persimmon of the puppet government. They felt that the puppet regime was not as tough as the Japanese and might be easier to deal with.

But the newly formed Huxi police force can bring rule of law and order to the bad land, and Shen Chen absolutely does not believe it.

"But what if the police force has to transfer you?" Chu Jiao thought of another question and asked with some concern.

"Then I'll resign." Shen Chen sneered and said, "In this position, the role that can be played is already very limited. If anyone thinks that when I take off this police uniform, I lose my protection, then they are very wrong. ”

Chu Jiao blinked her eyes and guessed, "You want to run?" Are you going to hide? ”

Shen Chen looked at Chu Jiao for a while, and said, "If the situation is bad, of course I won't wait for death stupidly." ”

"Not yet, right?" Chu Jiao said: "The Japanese haven't entered the concession yet, how can they have more than a year!" ”

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "I heard that the concession authorities may compromise with the Japanese, and the two sides are negotiating. In the future, if the Japanese want to enter the concession to arrest people, they may not need to notify the patrol room to handle the case. ”

Chu Jiao was stunned for a moment, and said tentatively: "Could it be like the French Concession?" That's not good. ”

"It's better than the French Concession." Shen Chen pondered for a moment and said, "According to the information I have received, in the future, the arrest will apply to the police department for permission to arrest people before that." ”

Chu Jiao thought for a while and said, "This will also worsen the situation. There is no time limit for the arrest permit, and there is no specific name written on it, which gives the Japanese a lot of authority. ”

"Even if there is a deadline, it doesn't make much difference." Shen Chen agreed, "It's useless to write a name, the person is caught, if there is an interfering patrol, and when you see the permit, you won't seriously check whether the name matches the person." ”

Chu Jiao's curly fingers sped up, turning in circles, showing that she was thinking rapidly.

"If you have to pay special attention to such an agreement once it is reached." Shen Chen thought more and further, and said: "It's not a matter of patrolling, you have to rely on yourself and your bodyguards." ”

Chu Jiao glanced at Shen Chen and understood what he meant.

If the Japanese have permission, if they suspect her, they may take the form of kidnapping and arrest. Of course, her name will not appear when applying for a permit from the police force, and it may only be a pseudonym on the permit.

But when it comes to arresting, the spies can use the permit to catch her to the gendarmerie or No. 76, and it will be difficult to figure it out.

Even if the concession authorities protested later, they could only protest, but to no avail.

Of course, this is only a possibility. But in the current situation, you can't even make a single mistake, because if you make it once, you will die.

The red light can wait a little longer, but life cannot be repeated. Some mistakes are like red lights, you can't run around, otherwise the result will be fatal.

Similarly, to survive in a dangerous environment, agility is one thing, and one's own ability is also a key factor. You don't know when you're going to be attacked, so you have to have the strength and skill to defend or fight back.

For Shen Chen, the real enemy is himself. His strength has already reached there, as long as he is cautious, does not make mistakes, and plays well, no one can beat him.

But for others, it is not as if he has the status of a high-ranking police officer as a cover, so that the spies do not dare to act rashly. For example, Chu Jiao.

"It's hard to say if it can become like this!" Chu Jiao waved her hand lightly and said with a smile: "Besides, who would doubt me, let's do a good job and leave no trace." ”

Shen Chen smiled, and didn't exaggerate the danger anymore, but talked about the matter of Jiaotong University.

"At the end of the year, there will be a batch." Chu Jiao was not very sure, and said: "The school construction work in Chongqing should be almost over. ”

Shen Chen said, "What about you, will you go with them?" ”

Chu Jiao shook her head, "It's hard to say, it mainly depends on when the family goes to the United States." I hope they leave soon, and I don't have anything to worry about. ”

"Then you have to worry about your family." Shen Chen thought of Lu Shuang and Lili, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This damn war, damn the Japanese." ”

Chu Jiao was also very helpless, thinking that her family would be afraid of her, she didn't feel good in her heart.

What is Country? If someone had asked Chu Jiao before the war, she would have to hesitate for a while before answering, and what she answered would have been the definition of an emotionless textbook.

But now, the state is no longer a rigid definition, but a huge desirable living thing with flesh and blood, color, and sound.

Chu Jiao didn't expect that only by experiencing the taste of a slave in the dead country could she be able to touch her country like this, and she never thought that she would love it so passionately.

It's the same for Shen Chen, only when he is in the whirlpool of war, only when he witnesses the tragic situation of innocents, can he give birth to that instinctive killing heart. Originally, he hated this kind of life.

"How's the jousting going?" Chu Jiao remembered this incident and asked, "It seems to have stopped." ”

Shen Chen didn't know, and it was estimated that the Japanese didn't want to engage in this senseless competition. What can you do if you win, but if you lose, the impact is not good, and you lose money!

"It is estimated that it will not work through the legal process." Shen Chen guessed and said: "The life and death situation, although it is voluntary between the two parties, does not comply with the provisions of the law. ”

"Hongkou is very heavily guarded, and it is very difficult to kill that Japanese ghost!" Chu Jiao frowned slightly and said, "If only I knew his whereabouts, I would be killed with one shot when I entered the concession." ”

"Try not to kill people in the Public Concession." Shen Chen waved his hand and said, "There are many ghosts in Japan, and they all deserve to die." Hongkou is difficult to enter, so change somewhere else. ”

"Where?" Chu Jiao became interested and asked, "I know you went to Nanshi, do you have a chance there?" ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "I'm going to go again, and I'll confirm it one last time." ”

……………

Shen Chen went to Nanshi in disguise again, and used the forged spy card he seized, but he didn't encounter any trouble.

But when he came back, he received a phone call that Cao Yixin was back.

Do the math, it took almost a month before and after Cao Yixin's mission to be completed.

Shen Chen received the call, and he didn't clean it up, so he drove to Cao Yixin's house.

Originally, it was a good thing to meet again after a long absence, but no one expected that it would turn into a quarrel.

Once a woman has a different kind of affection for a man, she will become meticulous and discerning.

Although Cao Yixin was extremely reluctant to admit this, this was the case, so she was both depressed and annoyed, but she also had to maintain her pride and not let Shen Chen laugh at her for being jealous.

Wouldn't that be self-defeating, yes, there would never be such a thing. So, the cynical, yin and yang weird words burst out of his mouth one by one and vented towards Shen Chen.

"Some people have more secrets in their hearts, but their faces have to be calm." Cao Yixin's fingers secretly twisted the long hair taken from Shen Chen's clothes, as if she wanted to pinch the unknown woman to death.

"It's like Zhuge Liang on the stage, the calmer his face is, the more people can see that he is carrying a stomach full of bad water."

Shen Chen touched his face, who is this talking about, I am very calm, give me a feather fan, it has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang

"Hmph, hum, vulgar powder, smell this and know it's a bargain." Cao Yixin's eyes flickered, and she shook Shen Chen's Japanese short suit twice angrily, and said viciously: "If you don't wash it, you can't wear it, and the smoke will make people nauseous." ”

Cut, Shen Chen pursed his lips, I don't know what you generally know. Looking like this, it looks like eating dry vinegar? Or if you are tired and unhappy on the journey, find a way to vent your hair.

There are indeed reasons for this, Cao Yixin is really troubled. In addition to the organizational tasks, there is also Shen Chen, who seems to have just returned from the land of fireworks.

You say, she was seduced and pretended to be pitiful before, how much thought did it take, and how long did it take to have that unusual relationship with Shen Chen.

But this guy, just a month, ran to find that cheap woman, is he so unbearable, so he can't look down on him.

Full of grievances, Cao Yixin couldn't vent it, she could only refer to Sang scolding Huai, but this guy didn't seem to understand, and there was no apologetic expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, he even got up to leave, it's just-

Cao Yixin became more and more angry, sat heavily on the chair, tears fell, and sobbed and said: "What do you treat people for, is there something wrong, you can teach me, can you find a woman outside?" If people complain, you just ignore it, like a man......"
