Because his car was damaged and had to undergo major repairs, when he returned to the consulate, Li Junhao sat on Counselor Sheehan's Buick.

As soon as he got in the car, Sheehan said, "Panson, what the hell is going on?" Why would someone want to assassinate you? ”

"I don't know." Li Junhao replied, "But I think it must have been done by the Japanese, but I don't know why." ”

He believed that the last words just now were actually made by Li Junhao and Hobbes, and the reason why he agreed was because of one of Li Junhao's reasons: no matter what the cause of the incident was, now that he had grasped the shortcomings of the Japanese, he should take advantage of them and deal a severe blow to the arrogance of the Japanese.

Because it was very close to the Consulate General, a few minutes later, the convoy drove into the place, and after getting out of the car, the military attache Hobbs walked to Li Junhao's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Pan Sen, the marksmanship is great, he is a soldier material!" Then he walked into the office building. Just now, Hobbs specially called Captain Watt to the car, learned about the situation at the scene, and praised Li Junhao's shooting level. In fact, if he sees the minute after the crash, the evaluation will be higher.

Li Junhao smiled and followed into the office building, he had not had much contact with this naval attache before, but now he found that he was an interesting person, and full of arrogance, belonging to a typical American soldier, confident and conceited, he did not look down on the armies of other countries at all, let alone ordinary foreigners.

When he returned to the Commercial Office, he was about to say hello to his superior, Miss Hampley, when he was informed that the Consul General, Mr. Ayers, was going to see him immediately.

-----------------

When he entered the consul general's office on the third floor, he saw that Sheehan was also there, so he greeted him with a proper attitude: "Mr. Ayers, are you looking for me?" ”

"Yes, sit down! I want to talk about today's events. Ayres gestured to the single couch next to him.

"Yes, sir." Li Junhao answered, and first nodded to Sheen, who was sitting on another single sofa opposite, and said, "Mr. Sheehan, thank you for your help today." Then he sat down.

Sheehan nodded and said, "It's nothing, it's my job, but I also want to get a full picture of today's events." ”

The secretary came in and brought two cups of coffee to Ayres and Sheen, and black tea to Li Junhao, which made Sheehan's eyes squint, and he didn't know what to think of.

"Let's talk about it!" Ayers Road.

"Here's the thing...... Li Junhao started from the car being hit, explaining the process clearly.

After listening, Ayers pondered for a moment and asked, "Sheehan, what do you think?" ”

"I think Pan Sen was right." Sheen said, "The killer should be Japanese, and as for the reason for the assassination, it should be to retaliate for Pansen's behavior in the police department a few days ago......"

Ailes was noncommittal and asked, "Little Og, do you think that's the reason too?" ”

"Mr. Sheehan has a point, and this should be the immediate trigger." Li Junhao said, "However, I think there should be another important reason, that is, the Japanese are eager to control the concession ......."

"Oh? Why? This time it was Sheehan who asked, and Ayers nodded in wonder.

Li Junhao thought for a moment and said, "Gentlemen, can I sort it out from scratch?" ”

"Of course, I'd like to hear your point of view." Ayers nodded.

Sheehan also nodded, and his boss had spoken, and of course he would not object.

After Li Junhao took a sip of black tea, he organized the language and said: "In 1937, the Sino-Japanese War broke out in full force, and at the end of the year, the Huhai Battle ended, and the Japanese army won the victory and occupied the Chinese border, and also took the opportunity to occupy the northern and eastern areas of the concession north of Suzhou Creek, so that half of the territory of our concession was lost, and we and the British side chose to acquiesce for various reasons. In retrospect, this was a policy blunder.

On the one hand, they still occupy the seat on the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry, and on the other hand, they put their hands into the police department, not only arranging a veteran spy to serve as the deputy director, but also introducing a large number of Japanese patrols, which have now reached more than 600 people, more than one-eighth of the number of patrols! Moreover, the ambitions of these Japanese patrols can be seen in the positions where they were arranged - the Special Department, the Detective Department, the Criminal Department, etc.!

"If this situation continues for another year, I am afraid that the entire police force will be controlled by the Japanese, and I am afraid that what happened to me today will not be an exception.

"A few days ago, two female students from Fudan University whom I had just met asked me for help, saying that their female teacher was arrested by the traitor agent of No. 76 in the concession......

"But what I didn't expect was that when I rushed to the central arrest house, they were actually handing over and didn't take my words seriously at all! Only then did he move in a fit of rage, triggering a conflict.

"Two gentlemen, I admit that I am young and vigorous, and my behavior is a bit excessive, but there is one thing that I feel I have done not wrong, and that is, if the Consulate General does not take a hard line, will there still be a place for us in the concession?"

Ailes and Sheehan glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes, they listened to this, for more than a year, the Ministry of Industry and the Police Department have been infiltrated by the Japanese very badly, and they have threatened the interests of the US government, and measures must be taken.

After Li Junhao waited for the two to digest for a while, he continued: "It should be because I injured a Japanese patrol and several traitor spies that day, which led to the assassination this morning. On the surface, this is an act of revenge, but if you think about it deeply, it should be the Japanese who are declaring: they are the most powerful in the concession, and whoever dares to disobey their will will be exterminated!

"If it was the actions of the Japanese that affected the interests of our country in the past, then now the Japanese are threatening us Americans from the perspective of personal safety! It's like this morning's assassination operation, first causing a car accident, then sending four gunmen to shoot, followed by a large number of Japanese patrols to finish, if it weren't for my luck, it would have been cold by now!

"Speaking of which, thank you, Mr. Ayers, if it weren't for the fact that you had specially arranged for Corporal Yuri to protect my safety, I would not have been able to escape such a well-thought-out assassination alone! Unfortunately, Yuri was seriously injured because of this, and I don't know how he is now?

"Mr. Ayers, please send someone to inquire!"

Ayres nodded, called the secretary, told her to call the hospital, and then come back to report the situation.
