Chapter 49: The Line Between Life and Death

When they arrived at the station, the two got off the train. Shang Yucheng was still a little relieved, so he said to Shu Qiang, "You go in with your things first, and I'll call Xianglin." ”

Shu Qiang did not doubt him, nodded and took the luggage of the two of them, and walked into the station.

Shang Yucheng found a cafΓ© nearby, borrowed a phone and called the hotel.

The person who answered the switchboard was a girl with a sweet voice, and when she heard that she was looking for Ye Shen, she immediately replied, "Mr. Ye has already left the room and just left." ”

"Check out?" Shang Yucheng repeated puzzled.

"Yes, ma'am." Miss Summing Up replied stylized.

"Did he leave alone, or with someone else?" Shang Yucheng asked again.

"Mr. Ye left with a friend." The young lady replied, and her tone became cautious, as if Shang Yucheng asked one more question, she would protect the privacy of the guest and refuse to answer.

It seems that Jia Wenxin should have woken up, Ye Shen took her out of the hotel, and naturally arranged everything properly. Shang Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him and hung up the phone.

She raised her arm and glanced at her watch, a quarter of an hour away from the car. Time was tight, and she hurriedly walked to the train station.

When Shang Yucheng boarded the train, he just breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down, when he heard someone behind him, "Miss, please let me go." ”

Shang Yucheng turned around and saw a young man with a grim face, smiled and stepped aside, "I'm sorry." ”

The young man nodded politely, said thank you, and continued to walk into the carriage.

"Miss Shang!" Shu Qiang came out of the box and said hello.

Shang Yucheng walked into the box and sat down, and the train started.

"Luckily, I caught up." Shu Qiang poured a glass of water for Shang Yucheng and put it in front of her.

Shang Yucheng nodded and smiled, "I really almost missed it." ”

Shu Qiang closed the box door and sat opposite Shangyu City. Lowered his voice and called, "Miss Shangβ€”"

Shang Yucheng looked up and saw that he suddenly looked mysterious, and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

"Don't you think it's a little different on the train today?" Shu Qiang said in a low voice. "Before Miss Shang arrived, I went to the front and back carriages to take a look, and found that there were a lot of dark whistles today."

"Dark Sentinel?" Shang Yucheng said in a low voice. Did something happen? ”

Shu Qiang shook his head, "I haven't found any news yet." ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "Anyway, let's be more careful, don't provoke anything wrong." ”

Shu Qiang bowed, "This is nature." ”

His personality has always been safe, and the purpose of his trip is to accompany and protect Shang Yucheng in investigating Su Jingyao's son, and he doesn't want to take care of anything else, nor do he want to cause any trouble.

As soon as they got out of the locked hotel, they got on the train with a secret whistle in the blink of an eye - Shu Qiang thought that their trip to Nanjing was really not lucky. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered Ye Shen's words, a woman like Shang Yucheng will be accompanied by countless troubles. Was he really right?

Shu Qiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, although he said this, he also knew that this was nonsense, he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and walked to the carriage.

The train slowed down to an unknown small station. Shang Yucheng sat quietly in the carriage for a moment, got up and prepared to wash his face. She stood up and walked out of the box and headed to the bathroom.

A few new passengers came up in the car, Shang Yucheng didn't pay attention to this, she walked to the door of the bathroom and walked in.

The moment she turned around, a man in a black-gray plaid tweed suit walked past her, he tilted his head slightly, showed a look of surprise, and quickly turned his face and continued to walk into the carriage.

Shang Yucheng washed his face and quickly returned to the box. The train moved slowly, plunging headlong into the endless night.

Shu Qiang read the newspaper for a while, and fell asleep with his clothes face in. Shang Yucheng half-lay on the bed with his pillow and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, when the train slowed down, it suddenly shook violently, waking Shang Yucheng up. She sat up, took off her coat over her, and lay down again.

She folded her hands over her coat and closed her eyes.

It was about to wake up suddenly, and Shang Yucheng didn't fall asleep for a while. She moved unconsciously, her folded hands shifting positions.

"It's him!"

Shang Yucheng sat up abruptly and shouted softly.

"Miss Shang?" Shu Qiang slept very vigilantly, and when he heard Shang Yucheng's voice, he turned around and sat up, and asked with concern, "What happened?" ”

Shang Yucheng frowned and muttered, "How could I not have noticed-"

Shu Qiang got out of bed and sat down beside Shang Yucheng and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" What didn't you notice? ”

Shang Yucheng pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "The train just stopped at a station after leaving Nanjing, and a person came up, I think that person is Ye Shen." ”

"Ye Shen?" Shu Qiang was surprised, "Isn't he still staying in Nanjing?" ”

Shang Yucheng shook his head and said that he didn't understand, "Although I didn't see his appearance, I think it's him." ”

Shu Qiang said a little disappreciatively, "You didn't see it, maybe it just feels similarβ€”"

Shang Yucheng shook his head slightly, "I passed by that person when I went to the bathroom, and my fingers touched his clothes. I remember Ye Shen once said that all his clothes were custom-made from a weaving workshop in England and then sent to France to be sewn. This fabric is very special and has a unique feel. She looked up at Shu Qiang, "I can't be mistaken." ”

Shu Qiang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile, "This eldest young master is really cocooned and self-bound." After speaking, he paused and said, "He didn't stay in Nanjing, and quietly got on the train from another station, what kind of idea is this?" ”

Shang Yucheng frowned and didn't say anything else. Shu Qiang didn't know much about Ye Shen's identity, so he naturally couldn't figure it out. But she quickly figured it out - since Ye Shen refused to leave Nanjing openly, he naturally wanted to create an illusion that he had never left Nanjing. Then he will definitely rush back before dawn, and if so, then tonight, he will definitely do what he wants on this train.

But what could it be?

Shu Qiang looked at Shang Yucheng, a little confused. Judging from his keen sense of smell in his profession, Shang Yucheng did not have any expectations for Ye Shen to be in love between men and women, but why was she so interested in Ye Shen?

"Forget it. Maybe I was mistaken. Shang Yucheng was a little deflated.

Shu Qiang smiled tolerantly and yawned, "Go to bed early." It may be that you have been too nervous for the past two days. ”

Shang Yucheng smiled noncommittally, "You sleep, I'll go out for a walk." ”

"But those sentry sentries - you'd better not go out." Shu Qiang reminded.

"I'll be careful. Maybe it's nothing, it's that we're too sensitive, maybe those dark sentinels are just on a business trip. Shang Yucheng said with a smile, got out of bed, stood up, opened the box door and walked out.

Shu Qiang sat for a while, then got up and quietly walked out of the box.

Shang Yucheng didn't know what Ye Shen wanted to do, but when she thought of those secret agents, she was faintly worried in her heart.

If the Japanese soldier in Hongkou at that time was assassinated by Ye Shen, then who did Ye Shen want to assassinate on this trip? She thought as she walked cautiously down the hallway, remembering that the man had gone in that direction. The more she thought about it, the more likely it became, maybe the task of those secret sentinels was to protect Ye Shen's assassination target.

Ye Shen didn't get on the train from Nanjing, he probably didn't notice that there were so many dark whistles, so it would be bad.

Shang Yucheng gradually showed an anxious look while thinking, but after walking through two carriages, she still didn't find any trace of Ye Shen, so she had to go back the same way.

At this time, Ye Shen was hiding in the carriage that Shang Yucheng was riding in and waiting for an opportunity.

Although Shang Yucheng found his traces, he guessed his purpose wrongly. He came here for the strategic defense map.

The underground party that had infiltrated the Nanjing government found out about the Japanese spy and learned that this spy was a high-ranking member of the Kuomintang army, and that he would soon go to Shanghai with a strategic defense map. After Jia Yixin obtained this information, for the sake of safety, he personally came to Nanjing to inform him of this important news. However, when they sent the report, they were accidentally discovered, and as soon as Jia Yixin arrived in Nanjing, he fell into the net of spies.

Jia Yixin, who desperately escaped, passed the news to Ye Shen, and the police arrived later, which led to a farce in the hotel.

After the police withdrew, Ye Shen quickly transferred Jia Yixin to a safe medical place, and then disguised himself on the train, but he didn't expect that as soon as he got on the train, he almost met Shang Yucheng, and what he didn't expect was that Shang Yucheng, with his professional sensitivity in art research, had already seen through his disguise and was trying to find his traces.

In the dark, Ye Shen opened his eyes and glanced at the watch with luminous hands in his hand from time to time.

Next door is the target person, Fang Jie, a major staff officer of the Military Commission of the Nanjing government. The intelligence sent by Jia Yixin provided many important clues, Fang Jie and Fu Xinming, the head of the criminal investigation team of the Police Department, were classmates of the Whampoa Military Academy, and on the night when the strategic defense map was lost, Fu Xinming had gone to the Military Commission to find Fang Jie. It was about such an opportunity that Fang Jie decided to blame Fu Xinming for stealing the defense map.

On the day that Fu Xinming was monitored, that is, when Shang Yucheng and Ye Shen went to Keats Hospital that night, Fang Jie quietly infiltrated the hospital with the intention of killing Fu Xinming, but was unsuccessful.

Fortunately, Fang Jie's identity was not discovered, he took the opportunity to go to Shanghai to inspect the defense, and got on the train under the protection of the national army spies, preparing to personally send the information to Shanghai.

Ye Shen felt that the train was gradually slowing down, and he raised his wrist again and glanced at his watch. It was already a quarter past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and in five minutes, the train was about to stop again, and the stop was Wuxi Station.

After mentally calculating the number of enemies, the distance between them, and the speed of their reactions. He sat up nimbly and carefully examined the gun and magazine in his hand. Then he hid a sharp dagger in his sleeve, stood up, pinned the gun to his waist, gently opened the box door and walked out.

Fang Jie's box was sitting at the door of a plainclothes man, who was napping against the wall of the carriage. Ye Shen walked over and neatly drew a dagger and wiped it around his neck.

The plainclothes were out of breath in their sleep.

Ye Shen immediately threw down the knife, drew his pistol, and fired a shot at the lock of the box without hesitation. Then he rushed into the box with lightning speed, and shot the spies who had not yet drawn their guns, until the three of them fell in response.

The silencer pistol didn't make much noise, but the noise of the train running couldn't cover the sound of hitting the door lock, which immediately attracted Shang Yucheng's attention.

Ye Shen closed the box door with his backhand, pointed his gun at Fang Jie, and said coldly, "What about the strategic defense map?" ”

At this time, this assassin who suddenly landed beside the bed in his sleep made Fang Jie confused, he hesitated, and said in a trembling voice, "What strategic defense map?" Who are you? ”

Ye Shen frowned, and calmly fired a shot, right on Fang Jie's forehead. The horror on Fang Jie's face instantly froze, and he was no longer angry.

For Ye Shen, his mission this time was to prevent the information from falling into the hands of the Japanese, and the orders of his superiors were at all costs - and the life of Fang Jie, a traitor, was not too much of a price.

He leaned over Fang Jie's corpse and searched it, but found nothing. When I looked up, I saw a small suitcase under Fang Jie's pillow.

Ye Shen was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the suitcase, opened it and saw that the strategic defense map was just placed inside.

"Ahh A scream suddenly rang out, piercing the barely maintained calm in the carriage.

A woman who got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom saw the corpse lying on the ground, leaned over to look closer, only to find blood all over the floor, and screamed in fright.

Oops! Ye Shen was startled, and quickly stood up, he knew that there were at least two spies in this carriage, and this exclamation would definitely attract them.

He quickly stepped forward, and at this time, he didn't care about anything else, and shot and broke the glass on the window, preparing to escape through the window.

This is also what he planned, jumping out of the train during the deceleration process when the train is about to enter the station, so that not only will it be difficult for the people on the train to track, but the people at the station will not be able to know the situation for a while, let alone track him.

Glancing out, Ye Shen paused.

At this point, the train has not yet slowed down to a safe speed, and it is impossible to jump down – and probably not safely escape.

What to do? Ye Shen was anxious.

Hurried footsteps rang out in the carriage.

Ye Shen glanced out the window again, sighed, but immediately cheered up and quickly returned to the door of the box.

The footsteps had arrived at the door in the blink of an eye, and Ye Shen removed the silencer on the pistol, which was meaningless at this time, and clenched his fingers. At the moment when the box door opened, two shots were fired first.

The plainclothes agent who hit the head fell to the ground in response, and Ye Shen immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and pointed at the person who rushed in next.

The moment he pressed the trigger, the sound of empty bullets sounded like a prank. Ye Shen looked at the two people who were hiding at the door and were about to shoot, his heart sank, and as soon as he gritted his teeth and stood up, he was about to turn over and jump out of the window.

"Bang bang" two gunshots.

But the voice is not directed towards oneself.

Ye Shen turned around in surprise, but saw a figure he had never expected.

"Shang Yu City." He looked at her in amazement, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Shang Yucheng glanced back behind him, and he had already faintly seen someone rushing over. She raised her hand and threw the gun in her hand to Ye Shen, and said in a low voice, "Don't leave yet!" ”

Ye Shen was stunned, "But you-"

Shang Yucheng ignored him anymore, pushed away the woman who was knocked unconscious by himself, leaned over and squatted beside the two corpses that he had shot and killed, making a frightened look, and shouting, "Someone! Killedβ€”"

Despite such a critical moment, Ye Shen couldn't help but smile, then turned around and jumped, disappearing into the vast night.
