The night shrouded the garden of the western-style building, which seemed very deserted.

Shen Chen cautiously hid in the corner of the street, the cold wind blowing his face, which allowed him to think and judge more calmly.

The Japan Zhengjin Bank, located on the Bund, is a foreign trade bank that implements the policy of Japanese imperialism in terms of expansion and aggression.

During the Japanese war of aggression against China, Zhengjin Bank cooperated with the Japanese invading army to control the finance of the occupied areas, destroyed China's national industry and financial industry, and supported the industrial and mining enterprises and pseudo-organized banks controlled by the Japanese army.

And in this small western-style building, there lives Saito, the deputy general manager of Zhengjin Bank. The reason why I live in the concession is precisely to be able to deal with the urgent affairs of the Zhengjin Bank nearby.

After the observation was over, Shen Chen slipped to the backyard and easily climbed over the courtyard wall. He first hid behind a tall bush and looked at both ends of the road, then hunched his back and ran across the road like a soldier in enemy-occupied territory, jumping over a drainage ditch and disappearing into the darkness.

With guns and knives in hand, coupled with a simple self-made silencer, Shen Chen was full of confidence. Although there were bodyguards and guards in the house, he was not afraid. Professionalism and amateurism are sometimes worlds apart.

The wind outside the window made some miserable whimpering from time to time. In the study, Saito sat at his desk, flipping through the account books. And a middle-aged man sitting in the corner was as steady as Mount Tai, only occasionally raising his eyelids, with a bit of cruelty and ferocity in his eyes.

This is Saito's personal bodyguard Kobayashi, and he is also the head of the bodyguards, his ancestors are samurai, and his kung fu is very good, and he is even more ruthless.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Kobayashi stepped closer and opened it.

A bodyguard appeared at the door in a strange posture, his head tilted to the side, his mouth aimed at his shoulder, the green tendons on his forehead bloomed high, saliva foamed from the corners of his mouth, his eyes were open, his hands were gesturing wildly, his lips were shaking, but he couldn't make any sound except for the sound of "oh oh".

Kobayashi opened his mouth to warn, because he could see that it was a painful look that would only occur when someone had misplaced the neck bone with a heavy hand, and for a moment, he took a quick step back and stretched out his right hand to his waist......

The bodyguard's body rushed forward violently and crashed into Xiao Lin, as if he had been hit by a large wooden pestle that hit the bell in the back, and he was very anxious. At the same time, Shen Chen pounced from behind him.

Xiao Lin was on one side, avoiding the impact of the bodyguard, his legs were quickly raised, and he kicked Shen Chen with a sharp karate move. At the same time, his hand had already touched the pistol at his waist.

Shen Chen didn't dodge, because he couldn't give the enemy a chance to pull out his gun, he blocked with his left arm, took advantage of the momentum to turn around, and almost rolled into Xiao Lin's arms, and the bullet hit Xiao Lin's chest with a close slam.

In the dull sound of gunfire, Kobayashi fell to the ground, blood splattering out. What a bullshit samurai, what bullshit kung fu is so good that he can't stand a bullet.

"You-" Saito was inexplicably frightened, his eyes widened, and then he saw Shen Chen, who was covered and only showed a pair of cold eyes, pointed the muzzle of the black hole at himself, as if he was shooting a target, aiming and firing, and the bullet opened a third eye in Saito's forehead.

Shen Chen is a silencer made of rubber, which looks simple and the effect is not bad. However, the obstacle of three layers of rubber in succession greatly sacrificed the range of the bullet, and it could only maintain accuracy at a distance of less than ten meters. But for Shen Chen, the covert and silent assassination is the first priority, and the others can be secondary.

Shen Chen shot the bodyguard who fell to the ground, then locked the door and searched around.

More than twenty minutes later, Shen Chen opened the door, walked out of the study quickly, and walked forward along the porch. Towards the stairs, he heard footsteps and hurriedly hid.

The two bodyguards talked and went up the stairs to the third floor, and when they looked around, there was no one in the empty porch. The two of them were unaware of the anomaly and walked along the porch.

Shen Chen hung in the air in a large zigzag, his back almost against the ceiling, and he relied on the strength of his hands and feet to support the wall to stay still, and watched indifferently as the two bodyguards came over. They don't think there's someone overhead, and even during the day, it's a blind spot for most people.

Whew, Shen Chen suddenly fell in the air, standing behind the two bodyguards. A headshot, while slamming forward, pressed close to another bodyguard who had just turned his head, and the muzzle with the silencer almost fired at the bodyguard's face.

After a little rummaging through the two corpses that had fallen, Shen Chen straightened up and went straight to a window in the corridor, which was the path he had infiltrated. With the help of a few gadgets, he was able to climb to an astonishing degree.

Descending the same path to the ground was more difficult than climbing upward, but Shen Chen completed it without alarming the others. Then, sometimes he shrunk into hiding, sometimes leaping and bound, and soon disappeared into the night.

…………

The killing was so ferocious and unbelievably silent and covert. Bodyguards with good skills and guns can't save Saito's life.

And on the morning of the third day after this bloody and cruel killing, Shen Chen, the murderer, was sitting leisurely in the patrol room, looking innocent and curious, listening to the misty and unclear speculations of other patrols.

"It must be a professional killer, the killing is clean and neat, and there is no trace left at the scene."

"The point is, how could no one find out at that time, are they all deaf and blind?"

"I think it's a master of the rivers and lakes who committed a crime, otherwise how could he loot money? If you just want to kill the Japanese, you can stay at the scene for a long time, it will be very dangerous. ”

………

"What are you doing when you're so idle?" A shout and a reprimand ended the nonsense, and Inspector Wang walked in with a gloomy face.

Everyone hurriedly dispersed, and those who were okay had to find something to show that they were not idle.

Shen Chen also stood up, ready to slip away.

"Xiao Shen—" Inspector Wang stretched out his finger and stopped Shen Chen.

Shen Chen stopped, turned to look at Inspector Wang, his face was puzzled, but he asked vigilantly in his heart, "Inspector, what do you call me?" ”

Inspector Wang looked at Shen Chen, as if he didn't know each other very well. After a pause, he squeezed something like a smile on his face and said, "I think you are a good fit for a small newspaper that has been harassed by local ruffians and hooligans who are asking for protection. ”

At that time, the patrol was not only responsible for maintaining social order in the public concession, but also providing security services for private individuals. The Bureau of the Ministry of Industry issued a notice on this, clearly marking the price of paid patrol services. Hire a western catcher, a day (calculated according to eight hours) is 20 yuan, a daily catch is 10 yuan, a seal catch is 8 yuan, and a Chinese catcher is only 4 yuan.
