On the platform of Wuchang Railway Station, when the special express train from Beiping stopped in a cloud of steam, a young woman standing on the platform holding her daughter's little hand suddenly felt a sadness in her heart - kbook update She looked at the bustling passengers, and couldn't help but secretly pray in her heart:

"God bless him for safety."

Carrying the suitcase containing the luggage of his wife and daughter, Li Shaoshao took a serious look at his wife and daughter, and there was a check for 2,000 yuan hidden in the suitcase, which was the day before yesterday, a friend introduced by an internal comrade bought his house in Wuhan at this price, which was a courtyard with four main rooms and six partial houses, and it was difficult to buy such a yard in Wuhan now.

Although Li Shaoshao never told his wife what he was going to do, his wife knew that he was preparing to do a big thing, otherwise he would not have sold the house, and even sent the two of them to Hong Kong. Although she did not understand politics as a woman, as his wife, she fanatically endorsed her husband's political convictions and blessed him with pride and gratitude.

Now, when she lifted their four-year-old daughter to say goodbye to her husband, looking at her daughter's innocent eyes, Li Shaoshao suddenly felt a heat in front of her. He hugged his daughter tightly,

When the train sounded the whistle that was about to leave the station, holding his daughter's hand, Li Shaoshao sent them to the door of the carriage, and his wife snuggled tightly into his arms.

"Whatever happens, don't worry about us."

The wife obediently comforted her husband and said:

"I'll find a way to raise our children."

But Li Shaoshao took out a pack of duck necks wrapped in oiled paper, which was his wife's favorite food, and this was the snack he prepared for their two trips.

"Here's a letter for Xiaoyu, I'll show it to her when she grows up!"

Stuffing the letter into his wife's hand, Li Shaoshao's face was full of reluctance.

Then, under the urging of the conductor, the wife and daughter left her husband and entered the carriage, and the train started slowly. The young woman waved her daughter's chubby little hand frequently, looked at her disappearing husband from afar, and silently wished him "smooth sailing".

Finally, when the train left Wuchang Station and her husband's figure slowly disappeared, the young woman opened the envelope, which had three pages.

"Xiaoyu, when you read this letter, you are already eighteen years old, and you are a big girl, as a father, how I wish I could ......"

Tears rolled down the young woman's cheeks, and the letter was full of her husband's love for his daughter.

"Have you ever thought that you have happiness and freedom today because before you, there were people who fought, struggled, fought for, and sacrificed. If you feel that the misfortune of others has nothing to do with you, then one day when misfortune happens to you, no one will care. I believe that the only safe society is one that everyone should bear, otherwise, we will all live in danger and fear! ”

The woman didn't understand the words in her husband's letter, she just looked at the letter stupidly, which was perhaps the last pen left by her husband.

"A safe society is a society that everyone should bear, in order to be able to prevent you, my daughter is living in danger and fear, as your father, I have chosen a path that I am not willing to choose, right or wrong, there is no longer any meaning......"

Tears slid down the woman's cheeks again, and finally, after reading the letter, the woman looked at her daughter again, silently put the letter in the envelope, she looked at the earth flying by outside the car window, but in her heart she prayed for her husband, prayed that everything would go well, prayed for ......

Li Shaoshao, who was standing on the platform, kept looking at the train until he couldn't see the train at all, he was still standing there, at this time he didn't notice that on the platform, there was also a person wearing a light coffee-colored tweed coat, wearing a dark, narrow-brimmed, and pointed tweed hat, standing next to the platform column and staring at him At first glance, there was nothing particularly conspicuous about this person, probably only his eyebrows were different, not only thick and dense, which made people feel that in the upper half of this very plain face, Two arch openings appear to have appeared. …,

But if you look closely, you can find that from the point of view of the face, although this person has mediocre facial features, he is not tacky, and he has a resolute demeanor. Although a small whirlwind blew over the platform, he stood in the wind without even blinking. He was so engrossed in Li Shaoshao's body that he didn't even blink once.

Finally, after no longer seeing the southbound train, Li Shaoshao followed the flow of passengers and walked to the ramp in order to walk out of the gate of the station from there. Although the people around him crowded him, he ignored it, staring straight ahead with his eyes, looking around aimlessly.

Years of journalist career have given Li Shaoshao a very special intuition. He suddenly sensed that something unusual had happened: there were two people, their faces were different from those around them, they were stupid, there was neither a curious expression nor an expectant expression, but only a murderous face. They walked forward in a crowd one after the other, staring at one person in the crowd.

At this time, the person who was originally standing next to the cylinder had already followed Li Shaoshao, and he also noticed the two people, and he could conclude that the two hands in his pocket and in his arms must have been holding weapons. No need to ask, they're trying to plot against someone! The man who walked in front had his right hand in his pocket, and the man who walked behind, with his left hand in his arms, reached into his open coat. Aware of their actions, Li Shaoshao only felt nervous, who are they? Is it an agent of the Bureau of Investigation, or is it? At this moment they were only a few yards away from him. And the person with thick eyebrows, who had been following Li Shaoshao, was like a beast possessed by a wild ghost, following Li Shaoshao unhurriedly, and at the same time, his hand was also inserted into his waist.

"Who will they target?"

Just when the man was surprised, he accidentally saw a dark shadow in his peripheral vision, it was an officer in a black Ministry of Internal Affairs uniform, the lieutenant colonel officer was in his forties, and following the sight of the two people, he noticed that their eyes were on the officer's body.

Grabbing a pistol hidden in his pocket, he hesitated for a moment before letting go of his hand, which was not his task. At this time, the assassin had already squeezed up the ramp, separated only a few people from Li Shaoshao, and only a few people from the officer.

"Hope ......"

Just then, he saw the Assassin pull a pistol from his pocket, perhaps a Browning pistol, as he struggled to remember what the other man looked like. Suddenly the shots rang out, and two bullets burrowed into the officer's body. The first bullet caused the man's body to jerk forward suddenly; The second bullet caused the man's head to slam back, and the blood in his throat spurted far away, splashing on the faces of the people around him, on his clothes, and on the suitcases in their hands, and on the ramp, and the ramp was covered in blood, and the people screamed in panic.

Accompanied by gunshots and shouts, chaos immediately ensued on the ramp, but for a few seconds the chaos was out of control: terrifying screams, one after another. A large footprint of blood was stamped under the soles of people's feet. The crowd crashed, adding to the hysteria.

The "stalker" knew exactly how to get out of such a scene. He suddenly looked completely panicked, raised his hands in the air, and ran forward with all his might, blending himself into the hysterical crowd.

The people were like frightened animals, running forward with all their might. He also fled from the blood-strewn platform. He hurried past the man he was following, and no one even looked at him.

Li Shaoshao also heard the terrible gunshots and screams just now. The voice woke him up from his dazed, numb state. He wanted to go back and see what kind of chaos had become behind him; But the crowd was so crowded that he couldn't turn around. He was pushed to the edge of the ramp, and his body was pressed against the concrete female wall, a low wall for the ramp to be used as a railing. He grabbed the top of the wall and turned his face to look back, but couldn't see what was going on. …,

All he could see was: on the ramp below, an officer leaned backwards, blood spurting from his throat; The officer, with his mouth wide open in pain; I can't see anything else. The surging crowd carried him back and continued up the ramp.

A man brushed past him, and when he turned his face, he didn't have time to see the person's face. And the officer was killed, and he only thought to himself:

Another lackey of a tyrant was killed, presumably by radical young students, like the vice-governor of Jilin Province.

When leaving the train station in a hurry, Li Shaoshao sighed in his heart;

I can't imagine that there will be so many like-minded people, and if they had started a revolution, maybe the country would have a very different face.

However, at the moment, Li Shaoshao went up to think about these things. He couldn't distract himself, he had a more important thing to do, and he should never have been on such an occasion, and if he was noticed by the police, that action might have been undone.

"Maybe if the police notice me, I can get rid of all this and live safely with my wife and daughter......

But the thought was only fleeting, and as a staunch republican revolutionary, whose faith could not be betrayed, he hurried down the ramp and turned towards the entrance of the station with the crowd of screaming people. When leaving the square in front of Wuchang Railway Station, the cold wind made Li Shaoshao raise his collar, although he was a little frightened in his heart, he tried his best to make himself appear calmer and calmer, but the sweat on his forehead and his pale face betrayed his true feelings.

At this time, Li Shaoshao didn't pay attention, when he walked out of the slope exit, outside the exit, the person once again quietly followed his footsteps, but the light coffee-colored tweed coat on his body turned into a black tweed coat with a light coffee collar, like an ordinary passerby, following behind him, keeping a certain distance from him.

At the Wuchang Police Station, a man in a police uniform with gray hair and senior police officer clothes stood in front of a metal window-framed window, smoking a cigarette. When he heard the footsteps of the comer, he turned and said:

"I've been waiting for you, is the deceased confirmed?."

The man who came in immediately replied:

"We found his documents on the body of the deceased."

As he spoke, he pulled his ID out of his portfolio.

"Is the deceased sure to be the military governor of the Third Special Military Prison?"

"Yes, sir, we have contacted the Ministry of Internal Affairs and have identified the deceased."

"Who do you think did it?"

"There are only republican radicals, and there can be no one else but them. This is the only possibility. ”

"Damn, in a few days, Dean Yuan will be coming to Wuhan!"

The gray-haired old man turned around, looked at the police officer behind him and said:

"With such a public security situation, how can Dean Yuan come here with peace of mind."

Perhaps Yuan Shikai, the president of the House of Nobles, has no affiliation with the police department, but anyone knows that if anything happens to the president of the House of Nobles here, the local police will be the first to be held responsible, and now, such an assassination case, if in the past, will be listed as a normal "political assassination", in this era, in the world, "political assassination" is an extremely common thing, for senior officials, assassination is even one of their professional risks.

The so-called republican radicals are anarchists in a certain way, and the purpose of the anarchist assassinations is to assassinate the privileged people in the political circles, and the anarchists in Europe have assassinated kingdoms, nobles, prime ministers, officials, and in China they have also assassinated provincial governors. …,

But now, on the eve of the imminent visit of the head of the House of Nobles, such a case occurred that really made people feel uneasy, and then the gray-haired old man, after a moment of silence, said:

"I think the show is just beginning. We'll see. If we can't completely crack down on those republicans, sooner or later, they will have to be involved in it! ”

He turned his face to the officer and said,

"This case was taken over by the Bureau of Investigation, right?"

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing this answer, the senior police officer first nodded, and then continued:

"You coordinate with the Bureau of Investigation to see what information they have to offer us!."

Perhaps because he was afraid that his subordinates would find it difficult, he deliberately emphasized it.

"You tell them, tell those in black suits, and say that if they want to operate on my territory, they must cooperate with us, and share information with us, and I don't want to be hidden like a fool after something happens on my territory!"

The words of the senior police officer obviously mean something, all of China, even the republicans themselves may not have the investigation bureau to understand them, in the confidential archives of the investigation bureau, there are secret archives of every republican, and because of this, the assassination of those republican officials is often stopped, but the investigation bureau's intelligence is difficult to share with the local police bureau, in fact, the police and the investigation bureau are often because of jurisdictional issues and other issues, not only there are problems in collusion, the two sides are even seriously discordant, in some places, The police and the investigative bureau are often opposed.

"Yes, sir!"

The chief's words made the officer understand the dissatisfaction in his words, and then he spoke out again.

"Sir, this time the Investigation Bureau is very cooperative with us, and the process of handing over the case file is very smooth!"

"They are not stupid, Dean Yuan is coming to Wuhan at the end of the month, and if something happens, they can't afford it, and by that time, every one will definitely fall on their heads!"

The senior police officer snorted, with some contempt in his tone, for the Investigation Bureau, how can the local police have a good impression, especially for these old policemen, the reason is very simple In the early days of the empire, the investigation bureau's interference in local law and order made these old policemen extremely disgusted, at that time, in the eyes of the investigation bureau, the local police were undoubtedly "a symbol of corruption" and "gangster umbrella", so they were extremely distrustful of the police, and that extreme distrust directly led to the lack of cooperation between the police and the investigation bureau, The Investigation Bureau, on the other hand, simply used the military to help them complete one case after another, and in the process, the Investigation Bureau gained fame, but it also provoked the police to hold a grudge against those "central officials".

"Inform those people on the ground that they have been more restrained recently, if anyone causes any leaks, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless, not only my Wuchang, but also the whole of Wuhan will not have a place for them, understand?"

Out of prudence, the senior police officer still solemnly admonished, the people on the ground in his mouth are referring to those local gangs, no matter in any era, gang organizations can not be eliminated, just like Tai Chi, there is yang and yin, there is white and black, and in China, gangs also have a very special existence, at the time of national liberation, a large number of gang members joined the ranks of the uprising, as a return, there are "legalized" gangs everywhere, these gangs may be legal, but their operating situation, But it's hard to talk about legitimacy.

In the face of this situation, in order to maintain the basic order of the local government, the local police will often turn a blind eye to this, and at the same time through cooperation, the gang will be controlled within a reasonable and orderly range, of course, all this must be within their control, and the investigation bureau that firmly believes in "black and white" is extremely disgusted by this, in their opinion, the control of the gang is undoubtedly "collusion with the gang", but in the eyes of the police, the people of the investigation bureau undoubtedly seem a little naïve.

For the commander's order, the police officer naturally will not disobey, after he responded, only after the commander waved his hand to exit the office, when he left the office, the senior officer's eyes were staring intently out of the window, staring at the bustling streets of Wuchang City, where he needed to maintain law and order, and the prosperity here also needed him to maintain.

"Those damn guys, they're going to have to clean them up sooner or later......"
