For those who wait for bad news, it's basically bad news. At about nine o'clock in the morning, Iwai listened to the report of Akira Osumi again in his office.

"Your Excellency, there has been an accident at the point of contact, and it is very serious." Dazong Cangming's face was ugly.

Iwai Eiichi strives to maintain the image of Tarzan collapsing in front of him. Well, that's the gesture of a leader that will make his subordinates feel awe. He stretched out his finger and motioned for Dazong Cangming to sit down and speak.

Ozong Cangming bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude, sat upright, and continued: "More than a dozen corpses were found at the contact point, although we don't know exactly what happened, but our intelligence officers have indeed suffered misfortune. ”

"How many people are there at the point of contact?" Eiichi Iwai asked, "As for the people under the control of the contact point, it is impossible for all of them to be killed, right?" If you find them, you should know more. ”

Otsukura frowned and said, "The contact point is presided over by Fujisawa, and there are three or four resident intelligence officers who are responsible for maintaining the daily operations of the theater. As for the eyeliner below, there are more than 20 people in total! ”

After a pause, he said with some embarrassment: "But now, including Fujisawa, all the permanent personnel of the contact point have been killed, and nearly half of the other eyeliners have also died. The eyeliner we contacted was only a handful of people who didn't know anything about the situation. ”

The situation was so serious that Iwai frowned, and it was a terrible thing that almost all the personnel of one of the contact points had been killed.

Although now is the time to plan a countermeasure. But where to start, and where are the clues?

I have to admit that the opponent is very ruthless and does a very beautiful job, which is even more powerful than letting those intelligence officers streak on the streets.

"Fortunately, we found out about it first, and we haven't alarmed the patrol room yet." Dazong Cangming said: "But now, it may be a way to transfer the body out and prevent the matter from leaking." ”

Iwai lowered his eyelids, and when he opened them again after a while, he shot a sinister and fierce gaze, "Send someone to take over the contact point immediately, bring the experts of trace reconnaissance, and carefully investigate the interior of the theater to try to get useful clues." ”

"In addition—" Iwai emphasized, "for three days, the theater will continue to open as usual, and we must not let the enemy feel victorious." The big war has just begun, and whoever has the last laugh will be the winner. ”

Now that the point of contact is exposed, it still has to be open for business and create a normal atmosphere, but it cannot return to normal function. The personnel sent will also be marginal Chinese intelligence agents, and life and death will naturally not be put in the hole of the rock well.

……………

Cold and hunger are the ghosts of the poor.

Every morning, the corpse collection cars of the Concession Public Affairs Bureau began to go out to shelter dead babies abandoned on garbage heaps in the dark night, and homeless and beggars who slept on the streets and froze to death in the cold night.

Most of the people who died of starvation were naked, and their clothes were stripped off and put on themselves by their sharp-eyed peers.

The poor who put on the clothes of the dead hope that this little shelter will help them survive the cold winter, but they often end up tragically.

After killing people, Chu Jiao didn't know if she had nightmares at night, or because her desire for revenge was satisfied, and she felt excited and relaxed.

Anyway, she began to care about the poor again. Although the steamed buns are still being made, she feels that it is no longer enough.

Shen Chen didn't have any opinion on this, and even took out a sum of money and handed it to Xu Huaiyi.

"Buy some cotton clothes, and start the fever porridge tomorrow." Shen Chen looked at Xu Huaiyi with a smile and said, "Isn't it cool that someone spends money to buy you a reputation and help you out?" ”

Xu Huaiyi laughed and said: "Mr. Shen is right, I, Xu, am not an iron rooster, and I also take out money to help the poor when I have a lot of money!" ”

"Oh?" Shen Chen raised his eyebrows and teased: "Do good deeds without leaving a name, Lao Xu is still an unusual good person!" ”

"Good people don't dare to be." Xu Huaiyi unceremoniously picked up the money and said, "But I am also from a poor family, how can I not know the taste of starvation and cold?" If you can help, you can help, and if you can save one, it can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. ”

After a pause, Xu Huaiyi said with a wry smile: "How many lives have you had on your hands after working hard until now?" Some of them are damned, but some of them - although I don't believe in this retribution or anything, it might be nice to feel better. ”

Shen Chen really didn't know that Xu Huaiyi was still a little feudal superstitious, and looked at him a little strangely, until Xu Huaiyi was a little uncomfortable, and then he said: "Killing the wicked is doing good, I only believe in this one." ”

Xu Huaiyi stretched out his thumb at Shen Chen and said, "I can't compare with your courage and means." Counting it, there are always dozens of lives at your hands, right? Do you know what the outside calls you? ”

"Spicy Detective, Punishment Fighter?" Shen Chen said jokingly: "Whatever, I don't care." ”

Xu Huaiyi laughed twice, obviously these two nicknames are not, it is estimated that they are quite ugly, and he will not say it.

Shen Chen didn't care either, and turned to the point, "There are many brothers in your gang, and they are scattered all over Shanghai. I'll talk about a few places for your subordinates to pay attention to, especially the Banzai Pavilion on Huade Road in Hongkou. ”

Xu Huaiyi's face became solemn, and he asked, "Is it the place where Japanese patrols and police officers often meet?" ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "The patrol I was injured and caught last time was to help spy No. 76 ambush me. They dare not come, and I am afraid of the dark. If you shoot a black gun, it's really hard to guard against. ”

Xu Huaiyi thought so deeply and said, "That's true. You'll be wary of strangers, or suspicious guys. But if you patrol and take advantage of your unpreparedness, pulling a gun behind your back is really a headache. ”

"That's it." Shen Chen said: "Your brothers haven't had much training, and they probably won't be able to hear anything, so it's better than nothing!" ”

Xu Huaiyi felt that Shen Chen was a little underestimated, and said unconvinced: "I'll go back and ask carefully to see if any guy is familiar with there." Of course, it's far worse than the blood flag gate. People dare to publish the newspaper and call 76, we can't do it. ”

After the theater carried out a clean-up operation, Shen Chen originally planned to wait for the matter to get bigger, and then report that the Blood Flag Gate would be in charge.

But he didn't expect the Japanese to take the lead and move the body away, pretending that nothing had happened, and swallowing the knocked out tooth in a daze.

In this way, Shen Chen had no choice but to put this matter aside and let the Japanese be suspicious!

And the declaration of war on No. 76 is Chu Jiao's strong request. Because Ms. Mao, as well as Yin Zhihong, are both poisonous hands under the No. 76 agent, revenge is necessary.

In addition to paying attention to the Long Live Club, Shen Chen also asked Xu Huaiyi's brothers to pay attention to No. 76.

You may not be able to do anything else, but it is also useful to remember what you look like and recognize people. As long as these recognized spies enter the concession, if Shen Chen gets the news, he will have a way to clean them up.

After talking about other things for a while, Shen Chen and Xu Huaiyi broke up.

Some of the things that Shen Chen did, it is estimated that Xu Huaiyi also knows some clues.

But first, Shen Chen can cover him and his gang in the concession; Secondly, if Mr. Du sent it, Shen Chen can be regarded as a character in the gang, and Xu Huaiyi helping him is also a rule of the rivers and lakes.

And there were many people with gang backgrounds who served the Chongqing secret service organization in Shanghai at that time.

For example, Mr. Du's protégés Chen Mo, Yu Songqiao, etc., and even Wan Molin, the housekeeper of the Du family, also provided convenience for important figures such as the military commander and the central commander.

Therefore, Shen Chen was against the Japanese and No. 76, and even kidnapping and assassination could not get rid of suspicion, Xu Huaiyi did not think it was a strange thing.

What's more, he also has a very bad impression of the Japanese, and as long as he is not implicated, he is happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb. And he pretended to be stupid and didn't ask about some things, he was really afraid of Shen Chen's ruthlessness.

As Xu Huaiyi said, Shen Chen has killed dozens of people, which is really an astonishing number, although all the people killed are bad guys.

……………

Under normal circumstances, human maturity is a natural process of change only by accumulating a large amount of social experience, and with the growth of age, the increase of social experience, and the deepening of personal understanding.

But there is also a shortcut, that is, to take the initiative to experience a lot of ups and downs and bitterness in life, or in a harsh environment, you must do your best, try to change, and try to adapt, which is a kind of maturity that is forced out.

In the bloody storm, under Shen Chen's teaching, after inheriting a lot of thinking that did not belong to her, Chu Jiao quickly matured.

Although the operation came to an end for the time being, it was not a horse to put Nanshan and a knife and gun into storage, but to focus on surveillance, listening, and recuperation.

The reopening of the theater was in itself a signal of confrontation, and the stubborn Japanese did not give up, and they demonstrated with such actions: I am not afraid of you, although I have suffered a loss, but this is nothing.

Chu Jiao didn't want to do something similar again, but she was already able to think calmly, and she also thought that Shen Chen would definitely disagree.

Again, two, or three, four, it is unlikely to happen between agents, and no one who can do the work of an agent is a fool and will suffer the same loss again without warning.

Although Lianwo Duan is enjoyable, there are too many people participating in it, and the movement is too large, and there is also a danger of easy exposure.

Since the Japanese were determined to have a contest with the anti-Japanese elements and anti-Japanese groups in the public concession, it would be a good idea to deal with the enemy piecemeal by changing their tricks.

In addition, taking advantage of the complex social background and well-informed information of Xu Huaiyi's gang figures, they gradually infiltrated the Chinese community and carried out operations in the Chinese community, which could even deter the Japanese puppet personnel.

With a temporary lull and a prelude to a storm, both sides are stepping up their work to deal a heavy blow to their opponents in the next round.

And with the increase in intelligence sources, Shen Chen felt that the time for another operation was getting closer and closer.

Intelligence, some of which are very systematic and intuitive, can see the value at a glance; Others are fragmented and even seem inconsequential.

A good agent can carefully analyze and study, and use full imagination to derive valuable clues from it.

The things I got from Ma Mingyu, Cao Yixin, Cao Bingsheng, and Xu Huaiyi's gang brothers were really just words and fragments.

But Shen Chen analyzed and studied it and got a lot of useful information, which was confirmed soon after.

…………

Late at night, the street lights were on, and the war did not seem to affect the entertainment of some people. Especially in the concession, movies are being screened, dance halls are open, and the lights are still bright.

Chu Jiao sat in the seat, feeling very bored, while Yu Junqing next to her watched it with relish.

Looking at the Chinese peasants from afar, I saw a bunch of foreigners up close, wrapped in tattered clothes, spitting foreign words in their mouths, desperately slapping the black and crushing locusts. This is definitely a Hollywood-style Chinese drama that makes the author Pearl Race stunned, called "The Earth".

At this time, Chu Jiao was stunned and bored.

The foreigner who played the Chinese, the makeup was not satisfactory, but the big nose could not cover it, and she almost laughed.

It's just that the surrounding audience watched it with relish, and she felt that Shen Chen had distorted her aesthetics, but she had to pretend to be quiet politely.

ended, Chu Jiao and Yu Junqing walked out of the theater. This was not an ordinary entertainment and leisure, but a date deliberately arranged by Chu Tian.

Before Chu Jiao came, she thought she was watching it with her future sister-in-law, but she didn't expect it to be Yu Junqing. Out of politeness, she didn't turn around and left, so she had to barely watch the movie.

"That heroine played really well, a foreigner, and she played a very traditional Chinese woman." Yu Junqing said to Chu Jiao as he walked.

"Hehe, it's a good performance." Chu Jiao echoed casually, in fact, although she wanted to laugh when she saw it, it depended on who it was, foreigners were still proud, and they felt that their appearance was very Chinese

Yu Junqing looked at Chu Jiao and said, "Drink a cup of hot coffee and warm up?" After sitting in the cinema for a long time, I feel a little cold. ”

Chu Jiao felt that she shouldn't accept the invitation, and she guessed what her brother meant. Although I don't hate Yu Junqing, I don't think I'm a person all the way and won't come together.

"It's getting late, I have to go home, or I'll be scolded by my father." Chu Jiao pretended to look at her watch and politely refused.

Yu Junqing smiled and said, "Brother Tian said that he will ask his uncle for leave for Miss Chu, as long as it is not more than half past ten in the evening, as long as I send Miss Chu home safely." ”

Chu Jiao's eyes widened, the elder brother was so thoughtful that he even blocked his own excuses. Say it earlier, say it early, make it up else.

Slightly open her mouth and stunned for a moment, Chu Jiao reluctantly agreed, followed Yu Junqing into the car, and told the driver and bodyguard Zhao Youcai to go to a café on a certain road.

Of course, Chu Jiao can say to Jun Qingming, we are not suitable, you better find another good girl! But people haven't said it yet, it's weird that you refuse like this.

If you can make it clear, and Yu Junqing said that he didn't mean that, he just wanted to be an ordinary friend, or be entrusted by Chu Tian to take care of it, then wouldn't Chu Jiao be suspected of being amorous?
