The failure to seize the concession led the Japanese to look for limited cooperation with the Ministry of Industry on the one hand, and to increase their support for No. 76 on the other.

If the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau could cooperate in arresting the anti-Japanese elements, the Japanese would certainly be satisfied; If the cooperation is not complete and their goal cannot be achieved, they will use the traitor agent of No. 76 to assassinate and kidnap and continue to use China to control China.

Historically, too, the decline and elimination of anti-Japanese activities in the concession relied on the devastating blows of Wang's puppet agents to the Chongqing agents, rather than the cooperation between the Japanese and the Ministry of Industry.

But in this way, Shen Chen became more and more an obstacle for the Japanese to fully achieve their goals.

In total, Shen Chen has already killed dozens of No. 76 traitor spies, sabotaged their operations many times, and made No. 76 spies have great fear.

Even, there are rumors, or warnings, among the agents at No. 76.

In front of Shen Chen, don't pull out a gun, you are definitely not as fast as him, not as accurate as him. As soon as he pulled out his gun, he was given a reason to defend himself and kill on the spot.

Therefore, if the Japanese want to get rid of Shen Chen, they can't put too much hope on No. 76, which has been repeatedly defeated and lost troops. But it was up to the Japanese to do it themselves, and they were afraid of losing face because of failure.

"Thoroughly suppress the anti-Japanese activities of Chongqing's organs and organizations, and expel the Chongqing forces from the rental industry......"

"Eradication of anti-Japanese and anti-Nanjing government rhetoric and propaganda ......"

"Extradition of the enemy's real estate to Japan......"

"Strengthening Cooperation between the Japanese Government and the Concession Police Authorities......"

"Cultivating the power of the Japanese within the Ministry of Industry ......"

"Seeking Coordination ...... the Concession Authorities in Economic Work in the Japanese Occupation Areas"

"The premise for implementing the above six points is that special attention should be paid to the rights and interests of foreign countries, and every effort must be made to prevent the deterioration of our international relations with other countries......

Katori Shinobu put down the document, handed it back to Iwai Eiichi, thought about it, and said, "This seems to be a sign of weakness. Because we all know that cooperation with the concession authorities cannot solve the problem fundamentally. ”

Iwai Eiichi put away this document of essentials sent by the Japanese Foreign Minister to the consul general in Shanghai, and said: "In terms of operations, in the future, we will mainly rely on the agents of Nanjing, and no matter how much trouble they make, it will not affect the international relations between our country and other countries. But there are some things that we may have to do ourselves. For example, get rid of Shen Xiaochen. ”

Katori Shinobu perked up and said, "When is the action, can I participate?" ”

Iwai Ying smiled and said, "When you act, it depends on your progress." Haven't you been trying to find a way to get close to him, and this task must also be dominated by you. How many people are needed and how to cooperate are all at your command. ”

Katori Shinobu immediately understood.

Previously, her mission was to monitor the anti-Japanese activities of Jiao Tong students, and approaching Shen Chen was not at the behest of Iwai Eiichi. Well, now that this is a legitimate task, she can fully mobilize her human and material resources.

"Don't give up halfway on the side of the students." Iwai Eiichi said: "In the French Concession, we can't move them yet. But if you can find out their route to Chongqing, or other anti-Japanese forces, we can get them all outside," Iwai Eiichi made a hard downward gesture.

Katori Shinobu nodded and said, "I understand." Rest assured, these two tasks may be carried out alternately, or even simultaneously. The latest batch of Jiao Tong students is still a few months away from graduation, and it will be faster to kill Shen Xiaochen. ”

"I believe in your abilities." Iwai Eiichi paused and said, "You have to be cautious and careful, so that you can kill with one blow." If you're not sure, don't take the risk and wait longer. ”

"Yes, I understand." Katori Xiaoren nodded vigorously, "Shen Xiaochen is a powerful guy, I will never take it lightly, and I will not act in a hurry." ”

Iwai Eiichi bowed his head slightly and said, "Shen Xiaochen's vigilance is very high, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to live now." So, you have to approach him slowly, and it is better to gain his trust and give him a fatal blow when he is most unprepared. ”

"Yes." Katori Shinobu said firmly: "Approach him, gain his trust, and strike when he is most negligent." ”

……………

Shen Chen drove a car, walked out of the Public Concession, and drove on the streets of the French Concession.

Su Mengyu suddenly asked curiously, "Mr. Shen, are you familiar with the roads in the concession?" ”

"It's alright!" Shen Chen said: "I have seen the street map of Shanghai, you just need to tell the location, although it will be slower, but you will definitely find that place." ”

Looking at the map to find the way is originally a skill that an agent should have, and Shen Chen's memory is particularly good, so it is not a problem.

"I see." Su Mengyu couldn't hide the admiration in her heart, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "I'm a road blind, and my father has said me many times for this." ”

Shen Chen pondered for a moment and suggested: "Road blindness is not born, as long as you master some skills to identify directions, and are willing to spend brain power to memorize, and then learn to read maps, then you can be like me." ”

"Thank you for your advice." Su Mengyu nodded in gratitude, and remembered another question, "Mr. Shen, why do you want to learn orthopedics?" Is it really interested, or is it for something else? ”

"Hehe, it's both!" Shen Chen smiled lightly and said, "The key is that I think I have a foundation in this area, and I can learn it faster." ”

"Basics? Mr. Shen has also learned bone grafting before? I've never heard of that. ”

"I haven't learned to take bones, but I can do it with both hands, is this the same?" Shen Chen said with a smile.

"Mr. Shen is really humorous, but there are also things that can be integrated." Su Mengyu laughed, brushed her hair with her hand, and said, "Good doctors can save people, quacks can kill people, is this what Mr. Shen said?" ”

Shen Chen thought for a moment and replied honestly: "I can't be a good doctor, but I can kill a few bad guys." Learn to pick bones, be able to do it more neatly, and make the bad guys less painful when they die. ”

Su Mengyu's eyes widened, and she felt that Shen Chen's words were also murderous, and she didn't take killing seriously at all. Even though it's a bad guy, it doesn't sound very comfortable.

Yesterday was the fourth day of taking care of Ma Mingyu, and Su Mengyu wanted to stay responsibly for two or three more days, and wait for Ma Mingyu to remove the stitches before leaving.

Shen Chen felt that Ma Mingyu was basically fine, as long as he recuperated, it was not good to trouble others again.

And the Su family called, not only caring about their daughter, but also telling Su Mengyu that her sister Su Mengxue called and left the address, wanting to ask Su Mengyu if she could help diagnose and treat her classmate's grandmother.

Tomorrow happened to be Sunday, and Shen Chen, in order to thank Su Mengyu, sent her home, and rushed to pick her up the next morning.

Shen Chen said something that surprised Su Mengyu and was not easy to pick up, and he was a little cold.

Su Mengyu thought for a while, and said with a forced smile: "Actually, Mr. Shen is also helpless, there is no way." Punish the evil and promote the good, everyone admires it. As for me, I'm a layman, and I can only do what I can. ”

"I'm just telling the truth." Shen Chen said very calmly: "Everyone has their own ideals and ambitions, as long as they think it is right and they are working hard, what do you care about what others say?" ”

"That's right, no matter what others say, how they despise it, just stick to your own beliefs and ideals."

Su Mengyu nodded, looked out of the car window, and chanted softly: "My destiny will be closely linked to the moving legend, and following my beliefs will be my life's behavior." O years! Is it in the endless fantasy, passing away, or should it be carved in the vast world, the battle record that will be remembered for all generations? ”

It was Chu Jiao's book for Ma Mingyu to relieve his boredom, and Ma Mingyu turned a few pages and threw it away. Su Mengyu liked it when she saw it, and she could even memorize the words and sentences in it.

Shen Chen blinked his eyes and listened quietly. In fact, he didn't understand too much, but out of politeness, he kept a listening posture.

The car came to a gate, a milky white sign, hung on a tall cement door frame, with the word "Zhang Zhai" written on it. A small door was dug into the left side of the door, and the gate and the small door were closed.

Shen Chen stretched out his hand and pressed the horn, the small door opened, and a small, thin old man walked out in white Chinese civilian clothes.

After inquiring through the window, and knowing that it was the doctor who had made an appointment, the old man immediately smiled flatteringly, turned around and opened the door.

While driving, Shen Chen looked around the courtyard, only to see that there were rockeries hidden among the trees in the distance, and a pavilion with a snow hat looming. If it's summer, it's a quiet and elegant place.

In this crowded street, there can be such a contrast, it can be seen that money and power can create miracles, and there will be unique places to go in the downtown area.

The car stopped in front of a dark gray three-story western-style building, although the building was only three floors, it looked very tall and imposing, with large granite walls, thick semi-circular cement pillars, carved windows, and a round roof wrapped in iron sheets.

"This garden, this western-style building." When he got out of the car, Shen Chen said half-jokingly: "Treat the old lady of this family well, you can make a lot of money!" Well, don't cure it all at once, just get it working, let her family come to you, and you have to pick up the car to send it! ”

Su Mengyu blinked, with a crying and laughing look on her face, and wanted to say "The heart of the doctor's parents". I opened my mouth and thought it was better to forget it.

The two of them walked to the door, and a young maid with a big braid greeted them.

The servant wore a sky-blue blouse with a high collar, wide cuffs, a round placket, dark blue fat-legged trousers with loose legs, and a pair of purple satin shoes underneath. This outfit is at least ten years behind the young women on the street, but it has a somewhat antique taste.

The maid smiled and bowed to Shen Chen and Su Mengyu, and said, "Sir, Miss, please go up to the second floor and sit down for a while." ”

Shen Chen nodded and walked inside. Su Mengyu was a little shy and followed behind Shen Chen.

As soon as you enter the building, it is a relatively spacious hall with two doors on the left and right sides, and the surrounding walls are surrounded by wooden walls, which are as high as people.

On the left wall, there is a landscape painting of bitter gourd monk Daoji, which is painted with a reckless artistic conception, and the scene is vigorous and very imposing. Next to the painting is a couplet, which reads: The character is extremely reverent, and the feelings are quiet with the water.

The front of the house is a foldback staircase leading to the second floor, with black-lacquered staircase handrails and a thick fuchsia carpet that is soft to step on.

Su Mengyu and Shen Chen went up to the second floor, and the maid who followed them hurriedly took a few steps forward, opened a door to the east, bowed to the door, and invited them in with a smile.

When I walked into the door, I felt a faint fragrance coming to my nose.

The purple curtains in the room hung neatly, the chandeliers cast soft light from the roof, an antique red sandalwood carved strip was several horizontal in front of the window, and at one end was a blue and white porcelain vase more than a foot high from the Qianlong official kiln; At the other end is a bronze ancient tripod, and a faint wisp of green smoke is rising from inside.

Next to Gu Ding is a jade pen holder, which is full of large and small buckets and brushes. Four marble-encrusted iron pear chairs are placed on either side of the table, and a large leather sofa sits next to a row of tall bookshelves filled with thread-bound books.

The two sat on the sofa, and the servant brought tea and withdrew.

"It looks very elegant." Shen Chen looked around and said with a smile: "I don't know if it's true." ”

Su Mengyu stared at the wire-bound books on the shelves, turned his head when he heard the words, and said, "It should be true, right?" You look at those books, and they seem to be constantly flipping. ”

Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders and did not answer.

The two of them didn't sit for a moment when a crisp laugh came from outside. A few girls walked by with a smile, and seemed to say something to the maid outside the door, and as soon as the door opened, Su Mengxue and the three girls walked in.

"Sister, you're here!" Su Mengxue said hello, ran over briskly, sat on the sofa, and hugged her sister's arm.

Su Mengyu smiled, touched her sister's head dotingly, and said, "Why are you here?" Know I'm coming today? ”

"No, it's not." Su Mengxue said: "It's Zhang Wan's birthday, and she greeted a few good friends to come to celebrate her birthday at home. As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Shen Chen, who was wearing glasses and had two fake mustaches stuck to his lips.

"This is" Su Mengxue had obviously learned from the maid that her sister was not coming alone, so she was curious to see what kind of man it was.

"It's Mr. Shen." Su Mengyu deliberately lowered her voice, "He drove me here." ”

"Mr. Shen?!" Su Mengxue didn't think about it for a while, but after looking at it carefully, she recognized it a little, and stretched out her finger to point, "Ah, ah, it turned out to be your ......"

Shen Chen grinned, deliberately diverted the conversation, and said, "Since you are here, introduce the patient's situation to your sister, so that she can know in her heart." ”

Su Mengxue was really diverted from her train of thought, frowned and said, "I, I don't know very well!" As she spoke, she turned her head and called out to her classmates, "Zhang Wan, come on." This is my sister, tell me about the situation of my grandmother! ”

A slim girl walked over, she was wearing a bea-green woolen cheongsam, covered with cyan woolen clothes, a pair of high-heeled leather shoes, white over-the-knee socks, short hair, melon seed face, and slender eyes with great charm.

Zhang Wan bowed respectfully and respectfully to Su Mengyu, and greeted, "Sister Su, hello." ”

"Hello." Su Mengyu got up and returned the salute.

After sitting down again, Zhang Wan began to talk about her grandmother's condition, Su Mengyu occasionally asked, and most of the time she was listening and thinking.
