Chapter 229: Assassination

"Timely to admit defeat."

Zhou Qinghe looked at the document and frowned slightly, this matter has to admire Sassoon's decisiveness, in the end, he is a businessman, thick-skinned, and survives with a broken arm like a gecko, otherwise after the wedding, Zhou Qinghe will be ready to carry out a joint encirclement and suppression of him.

It is not difficult, whether it is import and export or real estate, as long as he deals with people, the former can make the gendarmes make him miserable, and the latter can make the Green Gang come to the door to make trouble.

If you want to rent a house, you have to see if anyone dares to rent in this place, right?

Now that Sassoon is decisive, Zhou Qinghe is not in a hurry to start, otherwise it will be spread out, and if he does not provide protection after paying the protection fee, other people will not pay the money.

Then let him delay for two days, cut the meat with a blunt knife, and sooner or later let him spit out a little bit of the money he earned.

"What's that?" Chiba Yasuda was curious.

"Chinachem Hotel." Zhou Qinghe smiled and handed over the document.

"Huh?"

Giving gifts to Chinachem Hotel is obviously not in the brain capacity of Yasuda Chiba, who will give the landmark building of the Bund, I just feel that I don't understand.

When she took it and took a look, she realized that it was actually true.

"Chinachem Hotel? That's what he gave to you? ”

Chiba Yasuda was surprised, "Why?" ”

"Because I want more, of course."

"Then I see." Chiba Yasuda nodded in approval, born in a business family, which is easy to understand.

"Fujita-kun, you're amazing."

Then I became excited, this gift is really interesting.

"I'll demolish it, I'll demolish it, let me see what else is there."

The next day, Zhou Qinghe took a vacation.

The Gendarmerie Command really didn't have anything to do with him lately, so he asked for a leave of absence to recuperate.

After getting married, all the people of the Yasuda family were sent away, and the personnel and finances of the Chinachem Hotel had to be replaced.

Originally, Chinachem Hotel was outsourced by Sassoon to a subsidiary of Sassoon & Co., but now all the senior management of Sassoon & Co. has been kicked out of the team, and the financial part has people from Yasuda Club to help with the transition, and then the club under the name of Red Rose finally took over to complete the handover.

Middle-level and hotel service staff can stay if they don't want to leave, and the hotel will operate as usual.

Money is constantly rolling into Zhou Qinghe's pocket, and the most important thing is that the shortage of personnel has an opportunity to recruit people, and arrange for his own people to be stationed.

After that, the handover of information can be carried out very conveniently in the Chinachem Hotel, Zhou Qing and his own industry, there is a great place on the top floor overlooking the beautiful scenery of the Bund, and it has become a normal thing to come frequently.

In the penthouse suite, Liu Kai reported.

Inquiring about Zhang Fayao is very smooth, this person is too famous in the mouth of old Shanghai, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and smoking, and he is a gentleman, and he has been like this since he was a child.

I heard the old man say that Zhang Xiaolin couldn't stand it at that time, so he sent him to Germany, but after he came back, he was still like this, and it became even worse.

Zhang Xiaolin arranged for him to go to the police station, he disliked it too badly, he didn't go to work for two days, Du Yuesheng arranged for him to go to the bank to be idle, and he stopped doing it after two days, he has a famous saying that this kind of is a waste of my time. ”

"The heart is quite high." Zhou Qinghe smiled.

"Yes, I heard that this person went to Nanjing later, it seems that he is going to be an official, and he was very happy before he went, and he held a banquet, and even Sister Yao knew about it, and it spread all over Shanghai, but I don't know why, I didn't work for a few days and came back."

"And this?" Zhou Qinghe was slightly surprised, maybe Du Yuesheng or Zhang Xiaolin did something on the leader's side: "The principal doesn't look down on this kind of person, and it is estimated that he has arranged some idle position, which does not meet the expectations of the eldest young master." ”

Liu Kainu nodded: "That's what I guessed, do you need to verify it?" ”

"Forget it, there's no need for that."

A rich man, pure gentleman, the main purpose can be started.

"The personality sounds very flamboyant, the heart is high, and the father-son relationship with Zhang Xiaolin is not good, it shouldn't be difficult to start, what opportunities can I take advantage of?"

"When I went out today, Zhang Xiaolin sent eight bodyguards to protect him, which should become a regular situation, but I heard that he has a hobby, which is very special, he likes fishing."

"Fishing?" Zhou Qinghe raised his eyebrows, this hobby is quite special, for a young boy.

But this hobby is very good, whether it is a river or a lake, it is useless to surround these hundred bodyguards.

"Fishing is good, let's do it."

"Yes, I just don't know if Zhang Xiaolin will let him go fishing."

Liu Kai is worried that Zhang Xiaolin's old spiciness, this kind of thing should not be allowed in the current state.

"Do you think he looks like someone who can listen to Zhang Xiaolin?" Zhou Qinghe sneered.

"It's too. Kill or Serious Injury? ”

"Seriously injured." Zhou Qinghe pondered, Zhang Xiaolin is a son, if his son dies, Zhang Xiaolin will only be more unscrupulous, the green gang in his hand is so strong, it drives him crazy, it is not a good thing for the anti-Japanese forces in the future.

"It's better to think more about others, and it's better to warn than to go crazy."

"Understood."

"How's the list of traitors I gave you?" Zhou Qinghe asked.

Zhang Xiaolin is still useful at present, and he can keep his hand, but the other traitors must make achievements as soon as possible, otherwise they will not have an explanation for Chongqing, and the principal will scold his mother.

"Time is tight, Jiang Wen and I picked the most likely big businessman to check, and there is no doubt that he is a hardcore traitor."

Liu Kai took out a newspaper from his arms, on which was an older man, round face, and wealthy.

"Gu Lugui."

Zhou Qinghe recognized the person in the photo at a glance, this person is the king of the rice industry in Shanghai.

Everyone knows how important food is to the war, and Zhou Qinghe's information about this person has not only been seen in the newspapers, but also seen in the database of the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service in the past, and it has also been mentioned in the intelligence of the Japanese army.

It can be said that no one knows this person as long as he is a high-level military and political official in Shanghai.

Coincidentally, when the Chinese government was in charge of Shanghai, the secret service did not investigate this person, and the Japanese army had very little information about this person.

This is intriguing.

The Secret Service did not investigate this person at the time, only one explanation, and the background was even official.

"Are you sure it's a traitor?"

The Japanese did not investigate him, which was unreasonable, which was also an important reason why Zhou Qinghe put this person on the first batch of investigation lists.

Liu Kai nodded: "Yes, although Jiang Wen and I can't investigate him in depth, there is one thing that makes us feel that the reason is quite sufficient." ”

"Say."

"From the Songhu War to the present, his grain warehouse has not been bombed or robbed."

"That's good enough evidence."

Zhou Qinghe snorted coldly: "Even Zhang Xiaolin's garden was bombed, and the Japanese in his granary could actually let it go, why?" Don't look it up, look for a chance to kill him. Wait a minute. ”

Zhou Qinghe remembered one thing: "I saw this person at the wedding, he was with the commercial counselor of the consulate at that time, and he should be discussing the maintenance of the meeting, what position this person might have." ”

Zhou Qinghe thought for a while and said: "You let go of his affairs first, just send two people to keep an eye on it, and when the time comes, the maintenance will be established, and the Japanese side will definitely issue a newspaper to publicize it, and after the newspaper is published, it will kill him!" ”

Since you want to do it, you must do the best and make an example.

"Understood."

"Let's go and solve Zhang Fayao first."

"Yes."

However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, Zhang Fayao may not have returned to Shanghai for a long time, this has just come to Shanghai The fresh energy has not passed, and he has been playing in the concession, so that the lifelong career of fishing has been forgotten.

As for the maintenance committee, Japan was anxious about economic recovery, so in just two days, the entire structure of the maintenance committee and the list of people who held positions were released.

In the hotel, Zhou Qinghe found Liu Kai.

"It's settled, the consulate chose Gu Lugui as the president of the maintenance association, of course, the name is not the maintenance association, it is called the SH Citizen Association, and Gu Lugui is the chairman.

Tomorrow there will be a press conference, which will be announced to the public, and it will be held at the city hall at 1 p.m. ”

"He's the chairman, huh? The Japanese trust him so much? Liu Kai was surprised.

"Well, this bastard is doing all the bad things."

Zhou Qinghe flipped through the information in the past two days and got more information, "In the twenty-third year of the Republic of China, the principal was worried about the safety of food, so he held a national grain conference in Nanchang, and instructed the Executive Yuan to set up a national grain bureau and a grain distribution bureau of seven provinces in Shanghai.

In the 25th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese military department set up a grain purchasing company in Pudong for the sake of military rations for the war, and in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Chinese, it entrusted Gu Lugui's rice bank to purchase it on its behalf.

This Gu Lugui has been working for the Japanese since at least that time. ”

It's impossible to say that you don't know the identity of the Japanese on the other side.

Gu Lugui is boss may not be involved in specific business, but the rice shop at the bottom suddenly has so many more orders, and a fool can detect the cattiness inside.

What's more, such a large amount of grain has to be shipped overseas.

It can only be said that even if Gu Lugui was not a dog for the Japanese at that time, he was just trying to make more money, so he simply didn't see it.

"Stooge! The Chinese did not have enough to eat and sold rice to Japan. Liu Kai scolded: "Kill him, tomorrow next year will be his death taboo!" ”

"Kill! Do it tomorrow. ”

Zhou Qinghe was resolute, with so many reporters present, once Gu Lugui was killed, this death would definitely spread throughout Shanghai.

What I want is to make a sensation, and what I want is to give the traitors a blow to the head at the juncture when the Japanese set up a maintenance association.

Liu Kai naturally has no objection, but the next time is very tight, tomorrow is the press conference, and the whole plan will take less than a day from planning to action.

The two of them took out the map and spread it on the table.

"The location of the operation must be at or near the venue, so that it is convenient for reporters to take pictures, but section chief, you said that there are a lot of Japanese military policemen who will be there, and it may be difficult to find an opportunity for us to start, how many gendarmes are there?"

"An additional team of forty people will be dispatched, plus the mayor originally had eight gendarmes, and it is not clear whether they have their own bodyguards, even if they don't count these people, at least forty-eight Japanese gendarmes will be present.

This is only external, and there will be high-level personnel from the interior, from the consulate, from the military police headquarters, and they will also have guns. ”

"It's very difficult." Liu Kai frowned and pondered.

Not to mention that these people will not get off the car for no reason, this car must have driven directly into the city government, except for the kung fu of getting off the car, in fact, time can be said to have no chance at all.

Even if it is successfully killed, it is impossible to run away from so many Japanese military police, think about being chased by 50 Japanese military police, how can this run?

It's hard to get in, and it's hard to escape.

Or you have to drive in and blow yourself up at the venue with a bomb.

It's just a thought, of course.

"I'll go to the vicinity of the venue first to see if there are any tall buildings and if I can snipe them remotely." Liu Kai proposed: "I will work with Jiang Wen again, she has a strong ability to act, and she may find an opportunity to start." ”

"No, it's not as complicated as you think, I'll tell you how."

Zhou Qinghe nodded at the city government, looked at him and said, "Don't be too limited in your thinking.

Tomorrow there will be a gendarmerie to protect the security of the venue, and the eight people who are already in the city hall to protect the mayor usually do not leave the mayor's side, which shows a problem, that is, tonight, there will not be a single gendarme in the city hall.

The best opportunity to infiltrate is today, and entering today directly avoids tomorrow's possible gendarmerie interrogation documents, is the first step solved? ”

Liu Kai suddenly realized, and felt that his brain was opened: "Yes, it must be safe to sneak in today, what next?" ”

"The next thing is to lurk, sneaking in late at night won't be a problem during the transition to daytime, you can find an office cat at random, you're okay with that, right?"

"It's definitely fine."

"Okay, the next thing is to come out during the day, and the time from day to one o'clock in the afternoon is the hardest, because people come and go.

But there are also loopholes to exploit.

Not long after the establishment of the city government, many people don't know each other at all, you can avoid it, even if you meet someone in person, as long as you don't panic, others will not think you have a problem, and even you can command him to do something.

Of course, try to do as little as possible.

The main thing is dodging.

Toilets, utility rooms, rooftops and much more.

It won't be too long, even if it starts at 8 o'clock in the morning, by 11 o'clock in the morning, most of the people are ready to eat, there are still people decorating the venue, and even the people who maintain the meeting have arrived.

At that time, people came and went very chaoticly, and it was impossible to distinguish which ones were foreign and which ones were city government, but at this time it was actually very safe.

Then everyone's eyes are on the press conference, and you can just walk around. ”

Liu Kai nodded when he listened, he had to be bold in this matter.

"Next is the point, the target of the attack is Gu Lugui, he will inevitably drive here, the car will be parked in the city government, there will definitely be a driver."

"Yes."

"The driver may follow Gu Lugui in, it depends on whether the driver is also a part-time bodyguard, he usually follows, if he doesn't follow, it doesn't matter.

In pairs, bring explosives, lure away the driver, put the explosives in the car, wait for Gu Lugui to return to the parking lot after the meeting, get in the car, bang~"

"Huh~" Liu Kai nodded, fully understood.

Zhou Qinghe was still saying: "There will be chaos at that time, everyone looks at the parking lot, you take the opportunity to leave quietly, of course, if the action is carried out quickly, it is okay to leave early with the bomb." ”

"Understood, understood." Liu Kai nodded frequently: "The section chief has a high recruitment, so that it is foolproof, but there is still a problem."

Liu Kai smiled: "For example, how to lure the driver away?" ”

It sounds simple, but if the driver doesn't get out of the car, how can they lead away? It doesn't have to work out.

Zhou Qinghe smiled slightly: "It's not difficult, as long as it is a Japanese who asks the driver to get out of the car, or even a gendarme, does he dare not get out of the car?" Two documents are enough, but if you can't, you wear a Japanese military uniform inside. ”

"I'll arrange it right away." Liu Kai no longer has any doubts.

The next day, the city government's press conference was held with a high profile.

The press conference is about Shanghai's economic strategy, and according to the list of people that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs intends to disclose to the media in advance, the people who will participate in this maintenance meeting are all business tycoons in Shanghai.

As a result, reporters from all over the world can come, and every country in Shanghai cares about Shanghai's economy, and there are so many people who enter the city government.

The journalist group received the invitation letter in advance, and after being inspected by the gendarmes at the gate of the city government, they successfully entered the city government area.

A car was parked in a special parking lot, and the group of journalists and businessmen who got out of the car walked into the venue.

The press conference then began.

The Gendarmerie Command and the Japanese Consulate attached great importance to the press conference, and more than a dozen participants, large and small, came.

First, the big man spoke, and then the official announcement of the list of SH Citizens' Association.

"Mr. Gu Lugui Gu, as the chairman of the SH Citizens Association, I invite Mr. Gu to come to the stage to deliver a speech, everyone is welcome."

Gu Lugui came to the stage with a red face and delivered his acceptance speech.

The process went on in an orderly manner, and the reporter asked questions about the future development, and the whole meeting lasted for two and a half hours before it ended.

For today's overall success, the elected people are very satisfied, Su Xiyi is very satisfied, the military police headquarters is very satisfied, and the consulate is also very satisfied.

Until Gu Lugui and other elected people, at the invitation of the Japanese, gathered together and went out for dinner.

When Gu Lugui opened his car door, boom!

The violent shock wave overturned all the people around him, and Gu Lugui, who was smiling, was engulfed in flames in an instant and torn to pieces.

The whole car rose into the sky, and the pang fell to the ground, killing the two people next to him.

The force of the explosion left the crowd gathered nearby seriously injured.

Flames, bloodstains, corpses.

Exclamations, rebukes, scolding, wailing.

The sudden change made everyone's mood change in an instant, and the whole venue panicked and became chaotic.
