Lao Zhao checked Liu Lin's injury, and the bullet hit his right shoulder, and the injury was not light. Liu Lin was young and strong, gritting his teeth to prevent himself from moaning. Lao Zhao turned around and asked, "Stationmaster Zhou, how are you?" ”

"I'm fine, my right arm is bruised, the bullet didn't stay in my body. Lao Zhao, go to the tunnel and take out the medicine and give Alin a preliminary treatment. ”

Ah Niu, who was woken up in the rain, stumbled in, hugged his wife and cried bitterly, the couple cried for a while, looking at the thrilling scene in front of them, and they were stunned and at a loss. In the middle of the ring, Ah Niu asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhou Chengbin replied: "Just like you, Chinese." Ah Niu, now is not the time to cry, you go and inform all the people on the island to leave immediately, and don't return here in the near future. After the notice, you come back again and help your old Uncle Zhao tie the big stone to the bodies of these three people and sink to the bottom of the lake. Lao Zhao, cut the cable of the patrol boat and let it float away with the wind. Ah Niu, don't forget that what happened today should not be leaked to anyone! ”

More than half an hour later, the three fishing boats of Ah Niu and others sailed away from the island in a strong wind. Zhou Chengbin said: "Lao Zhao, Alin's injury needs to be treated, let's go and go to Captain Li Zhiyong." ”

On the evening of 6 July, Guo Xuan received a secret telegram from Li Zhiyong, informing him that the three action teams led by Xie Chengxin had infiltrated Shanghai and could be activated at any time. casually mentioned that Zhou Chengbin was in distress in the lake, Zhou Chengbin injured his right arm again, and Liu Lin was seriously injured. Destroying the secret electricity, an ominous premonition came to my heart: God will not bless me, and the plan of the thorn is blocked step by step. Liu Zezhi was sent to the Northeast, and had to change his plan, from on-site attack to long-range sniping, who knew that Zhou Chengbin had not yet been informed, Zhou Chengbin was accidentally injured again, and the injury was still his right arm. What's going on? Could it be a hint from the heavens? After thinking about it, Guo Xuan felt ridiculous that he was suffering from such gains and losses, what was wrong? This is not in line with my always confident character. He made up his mind that no matter how many dangers he encountered, he would carry out the plan of the thorns.

On 13 July, Ruan Bo, an undercover agent at the city police station, sent news that Yamawaki Masataka was about to arrive in Shanghai and stay at the International Hotel. The venue for the celebration at 9 a.m. on the 15th was set up in the Garden of the Customs Club. At that time, consuls of various countries in Shanghai, heads of major organs, reporters from major media, wealthy businessmen, representatives of the so-called "people from all walks of life," representatives of meritorious soldiers, and widows of martyrs will all attend. Guo Xuan knew that this comrade-in-arms who had covered Liu Zezhi and successfully covered up the bizarre murder case of No. 76 could only do this, and the rest was up to him.

For three hours, Guo Xuan was silent on the map, until Sun Wenkai walked in: "Old Guo, my subordinate is named Kong Wenqing, who has entered the garden of the Customs Club that has been under martial law, and surveyed the scene, it is impossible to do anything in that place." It looks like you can only do it on the road. ”

Guo Xuan nodded and said, "That's what I mean." From the International Hotel to the Customs Club Garden, Anwaji Road is a must-see. You see - only these two sites can plant explosives. Alas, there is a good sniper point on the top floor of the Red House Department Store, but it's a pity that I don't count, the straight-line distance is more than six hundred meters, almost seven hundred meters. Sniping at this distance, I'm not sure. ”

"Yes, with my personal ability, the effective sniper distance is also within six hundred meters, seven hundred meters...... Unless Stationmaster Zhou is in Shanghai, he will take action. The gap of a hundred meters, that is, the gap between the ace killer and the ordinary agent. ”

Guo Xuan smiled: "Six hundred meters, can only be regarded as an ordinary agent?" You are too demanding, at least you should be a very good sniper, but to reach the level of Stationmaster Zhou, nine out of ten within 800 meters, it depends on talent, you and I don't have this kind of talent. Let's not talk about this, you can see where to plant explosives is more sure? ”

Sun Wenkai secretly said that Guo Xuan made such a joke, and he should gradually accept and agree with himself. He pondered it for a moment and replied, "Neither location is completely certain. The population density of this place is too high, and the speed of Yamawaki Masataka will not be very fast, but it is all asphalt roads, and there is no way to openly cut the road, and the explosives can only be buried in these two sewage wells, which is not easy to exert and can easily injure innocents. The other location is secluded, and the road is a simple gravel road, but the speed of Yamawaki Masataka is not very low, and the explosion must be set in seconds. And...... The terrain is open and there are no obstacles, so evacuation afterwards is a big problem. ”

"Yes, that's why I can't do it. If I can't safely evacuate after I show up, I can't talk about follow-up at all. ”

Sun Wenkai looked at the map carefully, and said after a while: "If you ask me what I mean, I will build yì to do it at the first location." The reason is that the terrain of this location is complicated, and it is easy to get out. Facilitate the implementation of follow-up plans. And even if you can't kill Yamawaki Masataka due to the limitation of power, it will be enough to make the enemy chief scare and hunt you down. As for hurting innocents...... I can't take care of it. ”

"That's all there is to it. Old Sun, let's make the momentum a little bigger. In addition to the people you brought, I will hand over to you three more action teams to attack together. In addition to attacking Yamawaki Masataka on the way, there should also be movement at the site of the Customs Club Garden. ”

Sun Wenkai picked up a magnifying glass, carefully studied the terrain around the garden of the Customs Club, and said, "Leave this matter to me." ”

At 8 o'clock in the morning of 15 July, three cars stopped at the gate of the International Hotel, and when the group walked out of the hotel, several people went straight to the first car, and the rest of the people wearing military uniforms stopped for a while and got into the second and third cars respectively. On the roof of a bank office building across the road, Yang Shuang looked through a telescope, and the last two of the three cars were holding curtains, and he couldn't see who was sitting in the car. In addition to the driver, in the first car, there was a bodyguard-like person sitting in the front seat, and there should be two attendants sitting in the back seat. He sent a secret message to a person waiting for a bus at the bus stop downstairs. The three cars headed towards the Customs Club Garden.

Soon, the car drove to Anhesi Road, which is the most prosperous business district in Shanghai, the road is very wide, but the tram occupies nearly half of the road, and it coincides with the peak of workers and staff going to work and students going to school. In order to show that we are happy with the people, there is no traffic control in advance, but various secret posts and open posts can be seen everywhere. The vehicle couldn't help but slow down.

Xie Chengxin, who had already been ambushed, pressed the switch and detonated the bomb. With a loud bang, the fire rose, two clouds of black smoke spread out, the two cars in the back of the convoy were shrouded in black smoke, the mournful siren sounded, the police ran to the car, and each dark post also took out their guns and ran wildly to the guard. The first car in the convoy did not make any stops and sped away from the scene.

Yamawaki Masataka's vigilance on the way to the venue of the celebration was carried out by a joint action group composed of military police and gendarmes, and this section of No. 76 happened to be led by Duan Wentao, a former rebel general of the military commander and now the leader of the second group of the action team. At a glance, he saw Guo Xuan's shadow in a teahouse flickering by, and shouted: "Guo Xuan! Guo Xuan is over there! You guys come with me!"

Hearing that Guo Xuan, one of the most wanted criminals in Shanghai, had appeared, many alert agents and policemen at the scene reacted and rushed to the teahouse. More than a dozen people rushed into the teahouse, frightening the tea guests who had already been startled by the explosion, even more panicked, some slumped in their seats and could not get up, and some screamed and wanted to rush out of the teahouse. Duan Wentao led people to rush to the second floor first, but Guo Xuan was gone. He shouted: "Block the front and back doors of the teahouse, no one is allowed to leave!" Boss! Where is the boss? ”

A fat man in his fifties, balding, wearing a long shirt, walked over tremblingly: "Sir...... I'm the shopkeeper. ”

"Where's the people upstairs? Where did it go? Say! ”

The boss was frightened, his head was cold sweat, and his voice trembled: "Who?" Sir, who are you referring to? ”

"That's sitting here, a man, tall, wearing a gray shirt!"

"Came here for tea...... It's all men, I don't know......"

Duan Wentao put a gun at the boss's head: "You pretend to be stupid, right?" ”

"No...... Don't dare, don't dare ......"

A very old policeman pointed to a closed door and asked, "Boss, don't worry. Make it clear, and it's none of your business. Where does this door lead? ”

The boss was shocked for a moment and said, "My teahouse is a house shared with a tailor shop next to it, and there is a tailor shop over there." This door is generally not opened. However, the owner of the tailor shop died a few days ago, and the old lady died, and she went to mourn ......"

Someone has already kicked open the door, upstairs and downstairs to search, where is there still anyone? Duan Wentao was very frustrated and ordered: "Brother, you can bring all the people here back to the police station, and I will bring back No. 76 this boss." ”

At the scene of the celebration of the battle of the Japanese army in the garden of the Customs Club, Li Shiqun and Heiichiro Ono came to the scene as guests, of course, Li Shiqun came here to command and guard the scene. I heard a report: Yamawaki Masataka's convoy was attacked on the way. Li Shiqun was taken aback, Yamawaki Masataka has a good life, and his head really has the possibility of moving. He immediately ordered Ni Xin and Tian Chengxi to rush to the scene of the explosion. He also hurriedly left the on-site command office of the celebration party and came to find Heiichiro Ono. As soon as I walked outside the door, I suddenly saw a burst of cheers from the crowd, the military band began to play, the flashing lights of reporters came and went, and several middle school students holding flowers ran in the direction of the rostrum. Dressed in a straight uniform, with twinkling stars and military medals lined up on his chest, and a smile on his face, Yamawaki Masataka waved to the crowd as he walked to the rostrum.
