Chapter 3: Sniper (Part II)
Jiang Si'an brought the sniper rifle against [Okamoto Heiji] into Hongkou smoothly - he has the identity of the Black Dragon Society, and he belongs to the exempt family in this martial law situation, what is it to bring a gun?
And just as he was bringing back the sniper rifle, in the French Concession, something big happened.
Zhan Zhenshan, a well-known anti-Japanese pioneer of the Qing Gang, was assassinated.
But fortunately, Zhan Zhenshan did not die, but was rescued in time after being sent to the hospital.
In the face of such a thorny case, after Tie Lin pursued it fruitlessly, he quickly invited his good brother who he knew, Xu Tian, a teacher in a middle school in the French Concession (covering his identity).
Xu Tian came out of the horse, and no clues could escape his eyes.
Soon, Xu Tian found out the location of the killer according to the bullet and the angle of fireβa roof of a building that was 400 meters away from the place of the crime.
When he took Tie Lin to the top of the building, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.
Kiuchi Kagesa!
Xu Tian's teaching at the Japanese Military Academy.
"Kagesa?!" Xu Tian, who had always been calm, rarely showed a look of surprise, and then he looked at Kiuchi Kagezo with a suspicious expression, his eyes full of suspicion.
Kagesa Kiuchi, who took Hasegawa to investigate, was also surprised:
"Xu Tian? I really didn't expect to see you here after ten years! β
Tie Lin is not a stupid person, looking at Xu Tian's expression, he thinks that these two people may be murderers, and he reaches out to touch the handcuffs and wants to torture people.
Kiuchi Kagesa signaled to Tie Lin not to get excited, and then said, "The murderer fired the gun at this position!" β
"The straight-line stronghold is more than 400 meters, and at such a long distance, hitting a person with a Type 38 rifle is very powerful!"
Xu Tian motioned to Tie Lin not to get excited, and then said calmly: "I remember that the teacher is not a sharpshooter. β
"Of course I didn't do it! Someone is blaming us! Kiuchi Kagesa said slowly:
"You two, why don't we go down and inquire? They carry rifles more than a meter long, and no matter how disguised they are, they will definitely leave clues. β
Tie Lin sneered: "This is nature! β
"If anyone identifies you, then you two will have to come with me!"
Kiuchi Kagesa didn't say anything, but Hasegawa Kuo behind him said angrily:
"We didn't do it! Don't you understand? β
"You say no, no?" Tie Lin is naturally-for-tat - at this time, Shanghai has not yet fallen, the Japanese are not arrogant in the face of the French Concession after all, and Hasegawa Yu's trademark magic smile is naturally absent.
The four of them went downstairs with three strange mentalities and began to look for someone to call.
All four of them had gained the same messageβthree men had indeed entered the building before the assassination yesterday, and after the assassination, the three left.
According to several witnesses, some of the three were indeed carrying a box similar to a musical instrument, and there was no doubt that the box containing the instrument contained 100 percent of the spear used in the assassination.
Several other witnesses said they had vaguely heard the three men conversing in Japanese.
This is good and bad news for Kiuchi Kagesa.
The good news is that he certainly wasn't the murderer, as all the witnesses said it wasn't the two.
The bad news is......
The suspicion of the Japanese is not cleared!
Even Kiuchi Kagesa himself believes that this is likely to be done by the Japanese themselves, because Zhan Zhenshan's reputation as an anti-Japanese pioneer is indeed very loud.
But Kiuchi Kagezo knew that Zhan Zhenshan was their own person!
Tie Lin looked at Hasegawa Yu with a sneer, with a hint that if you give me another sneer, I will let you know what Zhenrun's threat is, and then he hurriedly left, to report what he found here to the above.
After Tie Lin left, Kiuchi Kagezo looked at Xu Tian: "Let's talk?" β
"Good!"
"I'm still in for a treat." Kiuchi Kagesa has a "life-saving grace" for Xu Tian, and when Xu Tian was hungry when he was studying abroad, he often fed Xu Tian, so he said so.
Xu Tian couldn't help but say, "I'll come." β
In the original time and space, the two met again in Shanghai, and the occasion was full of hostility - Ying Zuo suspected that Xu Tian was the "monkey" who led him yesterday, and Xu Tian saw innocent Chinese people being killed by their former teachers.
But in this time and space, there is no such "hostility".
Because Xu Tian clearly knew that the person in front of him appeared in Shanghai at this time, his identity must be the enemy.
But Ying Zuo didn't know about Xu Tian's situation.
In the hotel, after the two talked, Ying Zuo also knew about Xu Tian's situation:
Serving in the French Concession Middle School, this time he appeared here purely because Tie Lin called for help.
Kagesa immediately had the intention of soliciting.
After all, he clearly knew Xu Tian's ability, this kind of person was a natural spy!
But this is not the right time to speak.
β¦β¦
When Ying Zuo and Xu Tian separated, Shen Fei also got the weapon.
It was obviously close at hand, but the weapon was transferred through three parties before it reached Shen Fei's hands.
After getting the weapon, the first thing Shen Fei did was not to gather the three snipers who were staying separately, but to come to the gun hiding point arranged by Zhang Anping.
This sniper rifle is too expensive to be discarded after shooting, so Zhang Anping activated a safe house that he had bought near the hotel a long time ago.
Shen Fei went to the safe house to check, although there was Zhang Anping's hint, it still took a lot of effort to find the secret room.
After entering the secret room, Shen Fei was directly dumbfounded.
Four American-made machine guns, more than a dozen pistols of various types, grenades, grenades, explosives, and various bullets were stored in the secret room.
Seeing that the weapons were carefully maintained, Shen Fei couldn't help but be speechless.
Such an arms room is not surprising - the Shanghai station is not absent.
But it is absolutely impossible for the special team to prepare such a safe house for hiding guns, and it is impossible to prepare for Okamoto Heiji early, so there are definitely many such safe house special groups!
And probably every safe house has such an arms room!
This layout ......
This was the reason why Shen Fei was surprised.
You know, it's only been ten months since the special team settled in Shanghai!
He was very satisfied with the safe house.
He then quietly returned to his hotel room, and invited the three snipers who had stayed separately to his room, and the four of them quietly climbed out of the window after dark and climbed into a room on the sixth floor.
The house was rented, and the person who rented it was trusted.
Shen Fei's assassination plan was:
There will be a fireworks display on the streets tonight β the reason is to celebrate the complete occupation of the Pingjin area by the Imperial Army.
The fireworks show is bound to arouse the curiosity of Heiji Okamoto, and at the same time, with the help of the sound of fireworks explosions, it can also mask the sound of gunfire.
This would allow for a long enough time to evacuate after the shot.
Of course, this fireworks show was planned by him, but Shen Fei was not the one who paid for it, but deliberately made suggestions during the daytime when he was talking with the merchants.
The Japanese businessmen in Shanghai were very happy to be able to swallow the Pingjin area, and Shen Fei's suggestion was naturally enthusiastically supported by them, and a group of people partnered to fund this grand fireworks show.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
The fireworks show officially begins.
At half past eight, Zhang Anping "heard" that there was a fireworks show, so he deliberately ran to the Yamato apartment to enjoy it with Mr. Heiji Okamoto.
But unexpectedly, he became an uninvited guest, because in Okamoto Heiji's house, Yoko Minamida, who was dressed softly, was drinking with Okamoto Heiji with a gentle face......
Looking at the spring rhyme on the faces of the two that had not yet dissipated, Zhang Anping praised Jiang Si'an, this goods company, eat the sugar, don't drip the cannonballs to work!
Because he was a villain, Zhang Anping naturally punished three glasses of wine first, and then said his intention:
Well, discuss business matters.
The two talked to each other well, and the softly dressed Yoko Nanda mentally attributed Zhang Anping to the available people of the empire, pondering how to use Zhang Anping to spy on intelligence.
Damn Zhang Shihao, damn "Wang Tianfeng", the intelligence system of the Great Japanese Empire in Shanghai has been seriously damaged!
At nine o'clock, after a firework exploded, the outside world began to become colorful.
Seeing this, Heiji Okamoto said: "Zhang Sang, this is the fireworks of the prosperous era, you and I can enjoy it!" β
"It's not a firework in the prime of life." Zhang Anping pouted, but then followed Okamoto Heiji to stand at the window with great interest and watched the fireworks show.
Yoko Nanda secretly despised Zhang Anping's reaction, saying how patriotic she was, but didn't she enjoy the beautiful scenery together?
The more such Chinese, the better!
Just as the two of them were watching the fireworks show, more than 300 meters away in a straight line, someone stared at them with a telescope.
Observer with a telescope said:
"Two people appeared!"
"The one on the left is the target!"
The sniper slowly aimed: "See." β
"Ready to shoot!"
Inside the house.
Zhang Anping's hairs stood upside down.
He knew it was a sign that he was being targeted, but it was only for a split second that the feeling was gone.
Far from being relieved, he became more nervous.
In his plan, it was a critical time to tell Jiang Si'an that he would cooperate with him to let himself "eat" the bullet.
There is no problem with the plan!
He didn't let the sniper keep his hand - such an operation, not to mention whether the three snipers who had not yet graduated could do it, just revealing Jiang Si'an's identity was not allowed!
But the problem is the appearance of Yoko Minamida!
Yoko Nantian is here, he can't blatantly let Jiang Si'an cooperate - this femme fatale is currently in love, but people are definitely not stupid, a little accident can make this big drama go for nothing, and it will burn herself.
Fortunately, at this time, there was no trace of women's rights in Japan, and Yoko Minamida was playing a qualified wife and was not close.
After the sense of warning dissipated, while Yoko Nantian was packing up her things, Zhang Anping quickly whispered in Jiang Si'an's ear:
"Take a step back!"
Zhang Anping in card time.
From aiming at himself to Jiang Si'an, who was close at hand, and then to shooting, it would take about three to four seconds at the level of the second phase of the training team.
As long as he gets stuck at this time, the bullet can be perfectly picked up by himself.
Of course, he still has remedies for hanging up.
If he miscalculated, causing Jiang Si'an to receive the bullet, then he could only quietly feed Jiang Si'an a life-saving pill - 100 points each, as long as he didn't die on the spot, he could be rescued by the doctor.
Well, killing and catching 10 Japanese spies can be exchanged for 100 points.
Jiang Si'an was puzzled after hearing Zhang Anping's quick whisper, but he still chose to do it without hesitation, and Zhang Anping made a sideways movement - in the eyes of normal people, this is to appear to be more respectful.
But in the next second, a blood flower exploded in Zhang Anping's chest.
The sacrifice was successful!
Zhang Anping immediately pressed Jiang Si'an to fall, and Jiang Si'an was dazed and helpless until he was overwhelmed.
Yoko Nantian reacted the fastest, and immediately turned off the lights in the house after Zhang Anping pressed Jiang Si'an to fall, and then anxiously pounced and dragged Jiang Si'an aside.
At this time, Jiang Si'an reacted.
But he didn't have time to think about it, so he could only make an ordinary person look frightened after facing a sudden shooting.
Yoko Nantian quickly checked and confirmed that Jiang Si'an was okay and breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhang Anping who fell to the ground, and did not pull him, but dragged Jiang Si'an to a safer place, signaling Jiang Si'an not to be angry.
She herself listened to the movement by sticking to the door, and after making sure that there was no one at the door, she pounced with a gun, brutally kicked open the door next door, quickly turned back after inspection, arranged Jiang Si'an in, and told him that unless it was herself, no one should open the door.
After arranging Jiang Si'an, Yoko Nantian rushed to the stairs murderously.
Someone wants to kill her lover and brother!
She must let the murderer be broken into thousands of pieces!
Inside the house, after confirming that Yoko Nantian left, the panic on Jiang Si'an's face faded.
He began to wonder what was going on.
Thinking of Zhang Anping's warning, Jiang Si'an immediately realized that the teacher was aware, and in order not to reveal his identity, the teacher chose to block the shot with himself.
After thinking about this, Jiang Si'an's moved heart was about to melt.
Tears rolled in his eyes, eager to know Zhang Anping's current situation, but reason told him that he couldn't go out, couldn't go out, couldn't go out!
He is Heiji Okamoto, a Japanese expatriate who returned from the United States without any military experience!
"Teacher!"
He punched himself in pain.
Inside the hotel.
The three snipers looked at each other.
Actually...... Didn't hit!
But the target had disappeared by this time, and the three people, who had been instilled countless times with the reason that the sniper would withdraw after one shot, could only disassemble the gun into three parts in hatred, and the three of them carried it separately, picked up the bullet casing, left the house, and moved to the safe house.
Shen Fei upstairs was also observing the situation, and after seeing that this absolutely fatal shot was coincidentally dodged, he was extremely annoyed, thinking of Haikou boasted in front of [Zhang Shihao], and the killer of Shanghai Station planned to go to the apartment to replenish the gun.
But after more than a minute, he dispelled this thought, because he saw countless Japanese guards pouring into the apartment.
Shen Fei could only say hatefully: "Count yourself lucky!" β
β¦β¦
At the time when Zhang Anping was sniped, two shootings occurred in the French Concession almost at the same time.
Compared with Zhan Zhenshan's unfortunate luck, the protagonists of these two shootings were not so lucky - they were killed on the spot.
The successive assassinations made the public board of directors of the French Concession angry.
Tie Lin was naturally transferred to investigate because of his merit in the first shooting, and he had no choice but to invite Xu Tian to help, and after Xu Tian's exploration, he naturally concluded that it was done by the Japanese.
It is the same as Zhan Zhenshan being shot.
This almost blew up the Board of Directors, and they contacted the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai directly and asked them to give an explanation.
The Japanese have no water in their brains, so they naturally do not recognize this kind of thing that only has suspicion and no substantive evidence.
Although the Japanese didn't admit it, Fujita Yoshimasa naturally wanted to launch an investigation - Yaga, those bastards picked on their own people?
However, this investigation did not yield any results - neither the Marine Corps nor the Japanese Overseas Chinese Escort Corps admitted to doing such a thing.
But Yoko Minamita, who has a murderous face, after exploring the case of Heiji Okamoto's almost murder, told Yoshimasa Fujita her guess:
"Could this be directed and acted by the Chinese?"
"The shooting and these three shootings may have been committed by the Chinese!"
Fujita Yoshimasa pondered and said:
"Not necessarily."
"The three shootings in the French Concession are very different from the shootings at the Yamato apartment."
"The former is very unprofessional, it is the style of the army. The latter is impeccable in terms of cleaning up traces at the scene, selecting shooting sites, and evacuating, and it looks like the work of agents. β
Yoko Nanda didn't care about the three shootings in the French Concession, but gritted her teeth and said:
"It must be Zhang Shihao!"
"He's not dead! He makes the best use of this way of shooting from a distance! β
Yoko Nanda couldn't help but think of the assassination after returning to Shanghai from Nanjing - at that time, the other party was planning to assassinate herself from a distance!
The pistol team, on the contrary, is a means of replenishing guns.
If it weren't for the fact that I had dodged a long-distance shot, if I hadn't saved myself desperately, I'm afraid I would have hated it!
Fujita Yoshimasa saw that Yoko Nanda was carried away by hatred, and his face showed displeasure, and then put away his displeasure, and said in a deep voice:
"Yoko, don't get carried away by hatred - did you find that the assassination of you has something in common with the assassination of Heiji?"
Yoko Nanda realized that she was a little out of shape at this time, and said respectfully:
"Please also ask the teacher to teach me."
Fujita Yoshimasa said: "Distance! β
"The killer who shot at you, four hundred meters away."
"The killer of the flat shot is also nearly four hundred meters away."
"And because of the fireworks, the light is not good. And how did the killer shoot accurately? β
Yoko Minamida hesitated.
This is really a doubtful point.
Yoshimasa Fujita said: "I remembered what I saw in Nanyang - I was in front of an American businessman and saw a weapon that was a telescope-like scope attached to a rifle. β
"You check it right away to see if the Chinese army is equipped with this strange weapon!"
Yoko Nanda commanded:
"Yes!"
"By the way, how is that Chinese - Zhang Anping?"
"I heard from Heiji that he was saved by the doctor."
"That's good!" Fujita Yoshimasa nodded and said: "This person has a close relationship with my old classmate Huang Jianxia, Huang Jianxia is a very capable person, if the Japanese Imperial Army occupies Shanghai, if this person is willing to cooperate, it is a good candidate for management." β
"Let Pingji pay attention to the contact with this person, this person likes property and is an object that can be cooperated, and this assassination also proves that this person can be used."
"I see."
β¦β¦
If Zhang Anping knew Fujita Yoshimasa's words, he would definitely sigh that this shot was not in vain.
However, at this time he still has one more thing to solve:
In Jiang Si'an's eyes, this matter was not planned by himself.
Well, it also includes his great apprentice Xu Zhongyi.
This product is not my own person, if you think that this thing was planned by yourself, it will become a big loophole.
After all, he's already had two bitter meat tricks in front of him.
So he had to let Zheng Yao carry this pot first!
And let Lao Zheng carry this pot, you have to have a showdown with Lao Zheng.
Well, tell Lao Zheng:
I don't pretend, I'm a communist, I'm barely your superior, come, call the chief to listen......
10,000 words update, I admire myself!
