Chapter Ninety-Five: Wounded
At this time, Shanghai has entered late autumn, the weather has slowly cooled, and the streets are wearing autumn clothes.
On Jiaxing Road in the northern part of the public concession, there are some Japanese residential areas along the street, which at this time were the residential areas of Japanese expatriates.
There is a patrol house here, because there are a large number of Japanese living here, so most of the patrolmen in this patrol house are Japanese.
In an office in the patrol room, Inspector Iijima is sitting in the office, the same detective who investigated the murder of a Japanese student in Shanghai by Dou Li'an Road, and the assassination of God at Hongkou Hospital.
Inspector Iijima originally found some clues, but after the 918 incident, Sino-Japanese relations became so tense that he had no way to help the Shanghai Police Department.
As a result, the investigation into the case was interrupted, but there have been several recent assassinations against Japanese people.
There were knives, and there were guns to kill, and he paid special attention to the warheads used by the M1911 pistol.
Judging from the last few cases, most of them have something to do with the previous cases, and Iijima thinks that most of these people are anti-Japanese elements.
In addition, the outbreak of the 918 incident made them even more anti-Japanese, and they would definitely continue to kill their people from the Japanese Empire.
Iijima didn't come home from the office just to figure out how to catch the murderers.
"Iijima-kun, is there a way for you to catch that person who has repeatedly hurt our Great Japan?" Osaku Asama was also sent to Rear Admiral to assist Inspector Iijima.
Because two Japanese navies were also killed, Rear Admiral Shiozawa was very angry, and he sent Asamori Daisa to assist him.
"Some of these are like professional killers, not ruffians on the rivers and lakes. Gangsters. And the Japanese they killed did not have a specific goal. There were merchants, there were samurai, there were marines. As long as they feel that it is a prerequisite for safety, they will do it synchronously. Iijima said with a headache.
"Could it be the national government, or is it the ** who did it?" Masen asked.
"I don't feel like it was done by the Nationalist Government, although Lao Chiang has the heart to resist Japan, but he doesn't want to have a direct conflict with us, what he wants is the result of international mediation." Iijima: I still have a good understanding of the situation between China and Japan.
"** It is even more unlikely, since the September 18 incident, Chiang Kai-shek canceled the third encirclement and suppression. After all the 'plans to suppress the Communists' were put to rest, the Central Committee began to talk very optimistically about the future and situation of the revolution, demanding that the Red Army quickly "break up as many scattered Soviet districts as possible" and "acquire one or two central or minor cities under political-military conditions, so that they will not target us at this time." They will take the opportunity to strengthen their own power. Iijima shook his head and said.
"Who could have done that?" Ma Sen scratched his head and said.
"As I said last time, most of them are people with military training, and most likely military training from abroad, and they have new people coming in." Iijima said for sure.
"There are new people, from there." Masen asked.
"The ronin who was injured last time. Some of them were 7.65mm caliber Browning pistol rounds, which were different from the original 11.43 caliber bullets. At the same time, the marksmanship is obviously very poor, judging from the wound, the distance is only less than 20 meters, and it turns out that the man can shoot our people at will from 50 meters away. So most of the time we are training new people, otherwise we will die more. "Iijima was worried that if one person was okay, it was obvious that there were new people joining now. Coupled with the rise of anti-Japanese sentiment, I don't know how many people will join.
"It's not scary to say that those who march in the streets kidnap their own people, beat up their own government officials, and obstruct traffic so that the government can't do its normal job. In this way, the more chaotic China is, the better it is for us, that is, we are afraid that these people who are directly aimed at our Japanese Empire, who frequently assassinate us, if the Chinese are all they are a greater threat to our Greater Japan. Ma Sen said worriedly.
"Yes, if China is not chaotic, that is, we are more advanced than China militarily and technologically, but we dare not go against such a behemoth." Iijima said with deep feelings. "We are now afraid of such people who dare to clash head-on with our Japanese, and those anti-Japanese elements will learn from the Japanese who assassinate us now after seeing that they are disappointed in the government, then our Japanese overseas Chinese in China will be at great risk, so we must catch and bring to justice those who dare to do anything with Japan." Asama Mori said through gritted teeth.
"But it's not completely without clues, the last time I attacked your Marines, I happened to be patrolling around there, I heard the gunshots and hurried over, and saw a woman acting suspiciously, and I suspected that she had something to do with Yoshida's murder, she was probably his new accomplice, I told her to stop, but she ran faster, so I shot and wounded her. So it's better to find someone who is injured than to have no goal at all. Inspector Iijima said with some smugness.
"Then who is this Chinese woman?" Ma Sen became excited as soon as he heard the clue.
"I heard that this woman has some family feud with Yoshida, she and her brother once wanted to beat Yoshida to take revenge, but in the process of being chased by the patrol housekeepers, her brother was killed, and someone saved her at that time, and the gun used was the same gun used in the previous murders. So I concluded that this woman was the same person as the student who killed our fellow scholar and the person who made a big fuss in Hongkou Hospital. Iijima took a puff on his cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke rings......
At No. 165 Foch Road in the French Concession, there is a small three-story western-style building, which is exactly a residence that Wen Hao asked Zhang Songbai to buy in the concession, but now Zhou Yuying lives here.
Wen Hao also asked Zhang Songbai to buy a house in the public concession, which is a building-style apartment on Huaihai Road, and the conditions are not as good as Zhou Yuying's here.
This was Wen Hao's idea of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and it was safer in the concession at that time.
originally wanted Zhao Jingxiang to go to live with Zhou Yuying, but she still didn't find a good reason to explain the origin of this house.
Now Wen Hao is in this small western-style building on Foch Road, watching Zhou Yuying suffer a gunshot wound in the shoulder.
After Wen Hao's examination, fortunately the bones and major arteries were not injured, which made Wen Hao feel a little relieved.
Seeing Hao Dahai and Zhang Songbai jumping sharply on the side, they did a series of assassinations in Shanghai not long ago.
"I tell you to be careful, don't trouble the soldiers and patrols first, you don't listen, just rely on you to deal with those trained soldiers, the slightest carelessness will fall into the hands of the Japanese." Wen Hao heard that he dared to assassinate the Japanese marines.
Not long ago, since some Hao Dahai joined, Wen Hao gave him an M1911 pistol, this guy learned to shoot quickly, and then took him to conduct several assassination combat training with Zhou Yuying.
Maybe it was luck that they easily succeeded, and sometimes when Wen Hao was not there, they acted alone behind Wen Hao's back.
At first, nothing happened, but this time they ran into people from the Japanese navy, and as a result, the two sides exchanged fire, killing two navies and wounding one.
However, Zhou Yuying was injured by the patrol who came to him, but fortunately it was very chaotic at the time, and they escaped back to Zhou Yuying.
Although Wen Hao scolded them, he had the murderous intent in his heart for the Japanese patrol, and he dared to injure his beautiful apprentice.
"The two of you took care of Zhou Yuying, and I left beforehand." Wen Hao turned to them and commanded.
"Brother Wen, you're going there." Zhang Songbai hurriedly asked, he could see that Wen Hao was in a bad mood.
"I'll go home." After Wen Hao finished speaking, he left.
After going out, Wen Hao didn't go home directly, turned around and ran in the direction of the northern area of the public concession.
He decided to give those Japanese patrols some of the past victims, who let them hurt Wen Hao's people.
At this time, Wen Hao was a little unreasonable, Zhou Yuying and they killed and injured several Japanese, Wen Hao actually thought about not letting them fight back.
Wen Hao is the kind of person who speaks reasonably, and sometimes he is really unreasonable when he does things, and he knows that what Zhou Yuying and they are doing is likely to be counterattacked by the Japanese, which is also normal.
But when he saw that Zhou Yuying was injured, he felt unhappy, and he wanted to take revenge on those Japanese, Wen Hao had a little short temper, I can beat you, but you can't beat me, if you beat me, you will be angry and retaliate. It's a bit unreasonable. (To be continued......)
