Chapter 53

"Wen Qing, are you really going to kill?" Qi Huishen asked with some concern. After he and Chen Ke came out of the prison in the patrol room, they saw Chen Ke's face gloomy as water. After Qi Huishen saw the prison where the four comrades were held, he knew how "superior" the cell in which he was being held. It was supposed to be a high-class cell, with good air and a bed, and although the bed was padded with a straw mat, there was a futon on the straw mat. The cell in which the four comrades were held was dark, closed, and damp, and the air was filled with an indescribable smell. Thin straw mats were spread on the ground, and it was winter, and several people had to lean against each other to keep warm. The British really wanted to scare the revolutionaries this time, and they were even beaten when Qi Huishen went in, not to mention these four comrades. Their faces are scarred, and the patrolmen will definitely not just hit these comrades in the face.

The only thing that makes Qi Huishen feel good is that the spirit of these comrades has not declined. Seeing Chen Ke and Qi Huishen coming to visit the prison, they were all very excited. Chen Keqiang smiled and comforted everyone, "Comrades, no matter what method we use, we will rescue everyone in a short time." "Naturally, the patrol room will not let Chen Ke and them talk to the arrested comrades alone, there are people watching them, and they also understand Chinese. Qi Hui deeply noticed that Chen Ke spoke in Sichuan dialect to Xiong Mingyang, a Sichuan student at Fudan Public School. When Xiong Mingyang heard this, he immediately had a thoughtful look on his face.

The prison visit was not long, and Chen Ke didn't seem to squint when he entered and exited the patrol room prison, but Qi Hui knew that Chen Ke had carefully observed this place very clearly. Because Chen Ke has always walked in a hurry, he has never been so slow today. It seems that Chen Ke has already decided to do it.

These days, Chen Ke's "prison robbery training" has frightened Qi Huishen. He had never seen such a professional method of killing. No matter how determined Qi Huishen was a revolutionary, he was first and foremost a Chinese. In the cultural tradition of the Chinese, there are only two kinds of murder that can be universally sympathized with and even supported, one is "eliminating violence" and the other is "blood debt and blood payment". And Professor Chen Ke's way of killing for the sake of killing is a "skill". After Qi Huishen saw it with his own eyes, he only felt that this attitude of not treating people as people at all, but as an "object" "hurts the peace of the heavens". Therefore, Qi Huishen had to express his subtle emotions in the way of inquiry.

"Huishen, our purpose is to rescue these comrades. What's the point of senseless slaughter? Listening to Qi Huishen's question, Chen Ke asked rhetorically.

"But Wen Qing didn't say ......" Qi Huishen was deeply impressed by Chen Ke's murderous speech at that time, when Chen Ke said that he would kill the Indian patrol who killed the Chinese people.

"Those people must not be spared, but we must save our comrades first. If we start to kill India directly, wouldn't it make these comrades even more dangerous? Chen Ke's voice was flat, but the murderous aura hidden in it made Qi Hui feel a chill behind him.

"Wen Qing, I have a word, I have wanted to say it for a long time. Actually, comrades have been afraid of you lately. Qi Huishen finally said this sentence that he had been holding back for a long time.

"I know." Chen Ke admits frankly, "When I first learned these things, I was also very uncomfortable. Chen Ke lied here, he couldn't admit that he had been as addicted to learning these skills as a pervert back then.

"Wen Qing, if we kill India, it's not impossible, but after the killing, we have to run away. On the one hand, you have to build schools and reserve manpower for medical specialties. On the other hand, you're going to have to go on a killing spree. I think the two are opposites. ”

Someone finally noticed this, Chen Ke thought. Since Qi Huishen was able to ask such a question, Chen Ke was not willing to be perfunctory, "If you are not ready to kill before you go to save people." Do you think you can save people? Only by learning the art of killing can you choose to kill or not to kill. If you don't learn to act rashly, you will only fall into the net in vain. You don't dare to attack the patrol, but the patrol dares to attack you. ”

After hearing this, Qi Huishen felt that he had somewhat understood what Chen Ke meant, "Wen Qing means ......"

"You must rescue the comrades, do you have any opinion on this?"

"Nope."

"That's what I meant. Nothing else. Chen Ke gave the final answer.

Generally speaking, there are three problems to be solved in prison robbery, first, how to break in. Second, how to accurately rescue people. Third, how to retreat safely.

These issues were carefully discussed by the Action Team. Despite maps and field trips, the Patrol House is also a paramilitary agency. The patrolmen are equipped with guns, and if they can't get in quickly from the outside, they can quickly control the situation. Then it will evolve into a protracted shootout. There weren't any submachine guns like the AK47 or Uzi these days, and fighting with rifles and pistols often took a long time. Therefore, in this period, bayonets were a very important tactic. Chen Ke actually didn't really want to kill a lot of people in the process of attacking. How to effectively storm the patrol house has become the first problem that must be solved.

A strong fortress disintegrates from the inside, if it cannot be breached from the outside. This is also general common sense. It's just that the patrol house was originally a police agency used by foreigners to manage foreigners in the concession. Because more and more Chinese moved into the concession, the struggle for jurisdiction with the Shanghai government was expanded. Until now, the full-time employees in the patrol house were mainly foreigners. The few Chinese hires are basically hardcore foreigners, and it is better not to look for them. In a short period of time, I really couldn't find anyone who could think of a way to sneak into the patrol room.

"I don't know if there are any brothers who dare to be selected and arrested first." Chen Ke asked.

"How?" Wu Xingchen was a little interested in this.

"I don't think it's going to work, so I'm going to take a two-pronged approach. First, someone has to get caught first. As soon as this comrade was brought into the patrol room, we immediately caused a commotion elsewhere and moved the tiger away from the mountain. After the patrol room rushed to the place where the accident occurred, the comrades who were caught in subdued the people inside, and we also went in from the outside. The inside and the outside should work together to save people. ”

This plan sounds beautiful, but Chen Ke knows that this is just a matter of words, just the quality of the existing personnel. There is only a way to turn the tiger away from the mountain, which may be reliable.

"Wen Qing and other comrades have met with foreign devils, listen to Wen Qing's meaning, this person who was arrested may only be suitable for me." Chai Qingguo said.

"Comrade Chai Qingguo, do you believe that you can complete the task? Can you understand what foreigners are saying? Can you tell what they want to do next based on their questioning? Chen Kewei frowned and asked.

Chai Qingguo couldn't help but stimulate Chen Ke a few words, but after listening to Chen Ke's words, he felt that he would definitely not be able to do it.

Seeing that Chai Qingguo lowered his head facelessly, Chen Ke was about to continue the discussion, when he heard Wang Bin ask: "What if it's me?" I can understand what the patrol is saying. But after I was caught, I was not able to resist the force of the patrols. If I go in with this Comrade Chai, do you think it will work? ”

Wang Bin returned from Beijing earlier than Chen Ke. As a friend of You, he was heavily involved in the rescue of Youwu and other arrested comrades. In terms of providing a map of the patrol room, Wang Bin also made a great effort. Chen Ke never had time to talk to him in detail. According to Chen Ke's guess, after Wang Bin was humiliated by his ex-girlfriend's husband during this trip to Beijing, it seems that his mentality has changed a little.

"Brother Wang, if you are involved in this matter, then your future in Shanghai will be over."

"It's over, it's over. What's the big deal. If I could carry on the revolution and win the victory, wouldn't I have gained even more? Wang Bin's answer really meant to force Liangshan.

"That's a good idea." Wu Xingchen nodded slightly.

"I think it's better to hijack the prisoner's car." Chai Qingguo finally said his plan, "I have hijacked a prisoner car in Shandong before. I've saved people, but I think I must rush hard, our casualties are too great. ”

"There are a lot of guards in the prison car, and the vigilance is also high. Although we rushed forward halfway, although there was a great chance of success, casualties were absolutely inevitable. If you attack the patrol room, the patrol people can't imagine that someone would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, but they will attack him unprepared. I don't want this robbery to lead to new casualties. ”

Everyone debated about this, and Chai Qingguo was very unimpressed with Chen Ke's idea. Chen Ke didn't bother to say. Simply let Chai Qingguo, Wu Xingchen, Hua Xiongmao and himself go to the patrol room in the middle of the night today to see if it is true or false. Chai Qingguo agreed.

It was now afternoon, and Chen Ke simply suggested that everyone go to sleep now and set off at twelve o'clock in the evening. Back in the dormitory, Chen Ke found that after marrying his wife, it was very troublesome. It is definitely impossible not to let He Ying know when going out in the middle of the night. Chen Ke took the simplest solution, telling the truth. He Ying knew that Chen Ke came back this time to save people. It's not an outrageous thing to go in the middle of the night to see the truth and reality. She just hoped that Chen Ke would be careful.

When his wife said this, Chen Ke also felt very moved. He simply pulled He Ying to lie down and sleep for a while. The training has actually been very hard these days, and he is surrounded by his wife, and the two of them chattered and gossiped for a while, and before they knew it, Chen Ke fell asleep.

After waking up, it was past ten o'clock in the evening. He Ying was still sleeping next to Chen Ke. What made Chen Ke particularly moved was that He Ying slept in the position inside. Chen Ke woke up He Ying when she got up, and she said in a daze: "There is food on the table." I'm asleep, you come back early. Then she didn't know whether to pretend to be asleep or really sleep, so she faced the wall and stopped talking.

Although the rice is cold, it is not too comfortable to eat in the mouth. Just thinking about his wife's thoughtfulness, there is no kind of warmth.

At eleven o'clock, Chen Ke went to call Wu Xingchen and the others, only to see that they were ready to stop. Several of the men were dressed in black. Quietly went out. This time the sortie carried two guns, one person with a small axe, and four black hoods. It's a simulated operation.

By the time we arrived at the door of the patrol room, it was already half past twelve in the evening. There was no one on the street anymore, and although the door of the patrol house was open, there were no guards in sight. Chen Ke's heart suddenly moved, he put on a hood, and said, "Zhenglan, you also bring a hood and go over with me to have a look." ”

"Do it now?" It was Wu Xingchen who spoke.

"Xingchen, don't go. You look at the wind. Once your figure is seen, it can't be done. ”

As he spoke, Hua Xiongmao had already put on a hood. Chen Ke waved his hand, and the two walked quickly to the patrol room. There was indeed no one at the gate, Chen Ke and the others were wearing soft-soled cloth boots, and they walked quietly. These paths have been trained hundreds of times at night, and you can't go wrong if you walk with your eyes closed. God knows that the people in the patrol room are there, and after walking a few steps inside, in front of which is the patrol dormitory, I heard a sound of talking inside, and Chen Ke peeked through the crack in the door, only to see a bunch of patrols around a table, and banknotes and silver dollars were stacked on the table. Several foreigners held cards in their hands and cigarettes in their mouths, and one of the leaders held a cigar. Indian patrols for in the surroundings. It turned out to be gambling.

Opportunity depends on how you choose, Chen Ke thought in his heart. If you run to save people now, it seems most reasonable, but in fact it may not be. If someone comes out in the middle, it will be a big problem. And he and Hua Xiongmao have been trained, but they can also do it. But the arrested brothers were untrained, and if they were brought out, they would have been alarmed. After a scuffle, it's really hard to say.

Rushing in with a gun and intimidating the patrol is not a good way to do it. This was not the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the War of Liberation, and the opposing sides had enough understanding of each other. The Japanese or the Kuomintang saw a few Eighth Route Army soldiers killing them, and they knew that the Eighth Route Army would really shoot, so they would always have some consideration. The patrolmen don't have that kind of understanding. And Chen Ke didn't really want to kill. It's not that he hasn't had murderous intentions, but every time he thinks back to the hoe team led by the prime minister, even after 412, the hoe team is just a traitor, robbing the law field, and robbing the prison. They never engaged in revolutionary assassination and terrorist activities. Since the Prime Minister did this, there must be a deliberate reason. Chen Ke thought that he was definitely not as good as the prime minister, so every time he thought of the prime minister, it seemed that there was an indescribable floodgate that blocked Chen Ke's black killing intent.

There seems to be only one option left. It's just a gamble. Chen Ke whispered to Hua Xiongmao: "You go out and tell the two outside, wait for me outside, and prepare to pick up people." If I don't come out, leave yourselves. ”

"Wenqing!" The dark Chinese majestic eyes widened.

"Obey orders!" Chen Ke whispered. Then he pushed Hua Xiongmao. Although Hua Xiongmao turned his head three times along the way, he really obeyed Chen Ke's orders.

Seeing that there was nothing else to worry about, Chen Ke took a breath, and then quietly pushed the door open. No one noticed that the door was open, and no one noticed that a man dressed in black and wearing a black hood quietly walked through the door. The eyes of everyone in the room were drawn to the winners and losers on the cards.

The next day, when the citizens of Shanghai saw the patrol house in full swing and searched the whole city, they knew that something new had happened. In particular, the patrol room went to Fudan Public School and asked to enter the school to search for people. Fudan Public School naturally refused, and the Shanghai government was already in a considerable position in the struggle for judicial management power. Mr. Ma Xiangbo led the guards to block the patrol room outside the school gate. After the two sides confronted each other for a while, people from the government also came. After some negotiations, the patrol house had to retreat. Such a change is a great stimulus to the imagination of the citizens, and messages began to fly all over the sky.

By the afternoon, a decent explanation finally appeared. I don't know where the heroes rushed into the patrol room in the middle of the night last night, knocked down all the patrols, and then rescued the arrested students. Chinese love this kind of martial arts legend the most. So in the next legend, from knocking down the patrol to save people, to killing a few patrols to save people, and then to a bloody patrol room. Anyway, the number of people who died from foreign devils changed from a few to dozens, and later to hundreds.

It hasn't been long since the patrol killings were experienced. Sanqi has not passed, and the citizens' hatred for the patrols is still strong. Such a story immediately resonated with everyone. In addition to the rising "death toll" of foreign devils, guessing who did it is also another great excitement. In this matter, the speculation that the Huangpu Publishing House invited a martial arts master to rob the prison became a mainstream. The performance of the Huangpu Publishing House in this Shanghai trial incident is actually not eye-catching. Because it was the local groups in Shanghai that launched the Youxing and the strikes. But after the city-wide raid, the Huangpu Publishing House became famous. The people are accustomed to "the people do not fight with the officials". The forces that can be targeted by the government and foreigners are definitely not ordinary people. They are absolutely capable of fighting with the government and foreigners. This kind of speculation, without conclusive evidence, hits the truth like this.

Shanghai Renxin Medical College is also a British-led school, so Qi Huishen and Chen Ke, as school directors and principals, have no way to refuse to patrol the room under the leadership of the British consulate. Of course, Chen Ke and the others would not be stupid enough to hide people in the school. Social surveys have greatly expanded the scope of comrades' activities. After Chen Ke brought the people out, those people ran away according to the route taken during the social investigation at that time. Hua Xiongmao personally led the team and agreed on the location of contact.

After returning to school, Chen Ke woke up Qi Huishen. Qi Huishen immediately took the money and sent He Zudao and Qin Wu'an to join the gang. Wu Xingchen and Chai Qingguo also hid. This kind of disposal is also a little worried that if the patrol room must arrest people unreasonably, the party branch will not suffer such a devastating blow as last time.
