Chapter 17 God-given opportunity
While Yoshioka Masao and Han Zhirong were talking, Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun, who had been waiting outside the residence, were also exchanging opinions.
Xu Chengyan said in a low voice: "The area of this residence is not small. Judging from the scale and construction, it must be a large household. You go to the nearby area to find out the identity of the residents. I will go around the back and see if there is a back door."
In the north, the houses of large families generally have more than one door. For the convenience of entry and exit, most of them have a back door or a side door at the back of the courtyard.
Xu Chengyan was not found outside the gate, and then he remembered that he might have overlooked this, so he and Ji Yun separated to monitor.
Ji Yun nodded slightly, and after Xu Chengyan left, he walked towards the house. He calmly pretended to be a pedestrian and slowly passed by the door of the house. He glanced at the house number and wrote it down secretly.
Then he came to a cigarette stall not far away and asked for a pack of cigarettes.
Although the Wenying Lake area is a gathering place for Japanese expatriates, it is only compared to other urban areas. Although there are more Japanese people, there are also many Chinese living here. The small cigarette vendors on the streets like this are all Chinese
people.
Ji Yun lit the cigarette and took a puff, shook his hands and threw a banknote on the cigarette case, saying: "No need to look for it, brother, I want to ask you something."
Seeing the banknotes in front of him, the stall owner's eyes lit up, he grabbed the banknotes and hurriedly agreed: "Easy to say, easy to say, you can ask whatever you want, as long as I know."
"I came from southern Shanxi. I couldn't survive there any longer, so I had no choice but to come to Taiyuan to see my relatives and friends. However, Taiyuan City is too big. I'm a newbie here. I couldn't find any clue after searching for a long time. I want to find out where Xiaoweiying Street is.
How to get there on the 23rd?”
Ji Yun was originally from Shanxi, and you could tell by his accent. The stall owner had no doubt at all. After hearing what he said, he couldn't help but smile. He looked back and pointed at the house and said to Ji Yun: "What a lucky man. You are here."
They're all on the ground, look, that's the house."
But when he said this, he showed hesitation on his face, then lowered his voice, and then asked: "Are you looking for Boss Zhuang? Boss Zhuang's relative?"
Obviously, the "Boss Zhuang" he mentioned was the owner of this house. When Ji Yun heard the words, he followed the words and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I am looking for Boss Zhuang. I am his distant cousin."
Hearing this, the stall owner couldn't help but shook his head regretfully, leaned forward, came closer, and continued to whisper: "Sir, you are late. The owner of the stall committed a crime just two years ago, and his whole family was arrested by the Japanese."
He left. I heard that he was sent to a mine to mine coal. There is no news about him until now. It’s a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. It’s probably going to be very bad.”
"What, how could this happen?" Ji Yun looked surprised, "Then this house...?"
"How can you care about this when your life is gone? They have all been swallowed up by those officials. Now the banker's compound has fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Your visit this time was in vain."
When Ji Yun heard this, it seemed that the stall owner knew a lot, so he quickly asked: "How do you know there are Japanese people living here? Are they doing business or holding guns?"
This area is a Japanese overseas area, and there are of course a lot of Japanese people, most of whom are businessmen, but some are military personnel.
Ji Yun's question was a bit abrupt, and the stall owner couldn't help but hesitate and didn't answer for a while.
Ji Yun handed over another banknote, and the stall owner immediately replied: "One of the guys with the gun is a Japanese who often comes to me to buy cigarettes. He has a bulging waist. It looks like this."
After saying that, he stepped sideways, stretched out his thumb and index finger, and made secret gestures. Ji Yun immediately understood.
"There are only two Japanese living in such a big house?" Ji Yun asked again.
The stall owner nodded and confirmed: "It's just two people. They don't go out usually and rarely show up."
Xu Chengyan walked through a street, made a big circle, and came to the back of the courtyard. He suddenly stopped and saw a back door. The front door was not big, just like the two door panels of an ordinary house. The door was closed tightly. It looked like
Unremarkable.
However, there was a black car parked at the door. There was also a driver sitting in the driver's seat of the car, holding a cigarette and looking around while smoking. He was obviously guarding the vehicle and performing vigilance work.
Xu Chengyan didn't dare to get any closer and found a hidden corner to hide, staring at the back door. He had a hunch that Han Zhirong was meeting the owner of the car, so he could take a look and see where Han Zhirong was.
Who to contact?
The meeting didn't last long. Not long after, the back door opened, and two men, one tall and one short, stepped out of the yard.
The driver started the vehicle, and the tall man stepped forward, opened the door, and stood aside. The short man behind came to the car, gave instructions to the tall man next to him, and then looked back at the yard.
Just when he turned around, his face flashed across his face, which immediately made Xu Chengyan, who was hiding in the corner observing, tense up. He couldn't believe his eyes, so he quickly rubbed his eyes and looked carefully again. After finally confirming,
I feel my heart beating violently, and I can’t help but be surprised!
Masao Yoshioka! The person who met Han Zhirong turned out to be Masao Yoshioka!
What a surprise. This notorious Japanese intelligence boss actually appeared here in plain clothes. Xu Chengyan immediately realized that a problem that had been bothering him was finally solved.
Watching Masao Yoshioka's car drive away, Xu Chengyan walked out from the corner, stopped lingering, and hurried to join Ji Yun. The next assassination operation needed to be redesigned.
When Xu Chengyan hurried back to the front door, Ji Yun was also preparing to leave. Seeing his companions rushing over, he first said, "Han Zhirong just left, let's follow."
"No need, give up the action for now, there is a new situation now, let's go back!"
Ji Yun looked at Xu Chengyan in surprise, but without asking any more questions, the two of them turned and left.
"Did you read that correctly?"
In Xu Chengyan's residence, Ji Yun looked at his companions in disbelief.
"It must be him!" Xu Chengyan confirmed again, "I saw him with my own eyes at the execution ground, and I will never admit his mistake."
"That's great!" Ji Yun was so excited that he couldn't help but fist-palm and said loudly, "It's true to the old saying, you can't find anything even if you break through the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, this is what God has said
Helping us!"
"No, this is Station Commander Wang and his heroic souls, borrowing our hands to avenge them!" Xu Chengyan said softly. This discovery made them immediately shift their target to Yoshioka Masao. Relatively speaking,
, Han Zhirong’s life or death is of no consequence.
Masao Yoshioka, Japan's most damaging intelligence leader in Shanxi Province, countless Chinese intelligence agents died at his hands. All forces in China hated him deeply and tried every means to take his life, but despite heavy casualties, they were unable to do so.
Previously, Xu Chengyan had made up his mind to assassinate the beast at all costs, and was mentally prepared to sacrifice himself. It can be seen that he did not have much confidence in being able to complete this extremely difficult operation, but now he had a golden opportunity in front of him.
How could you let it go so easily!
Ji Yun introduced: "According to the information I learned, the owner of No. 23 Xiaoweiying turned out to be a businessman named Zhuang. Just three months ago, the family was captured by the Japanese and the house changed owners.
Now there are two Japanese living there, both are strong men in their early thirties, they still have weapons in their hands, they don't show up much, rarely interact with people, and they have no contact with the nearby Japanese expatriates."
"So mysterious?"
Ji Yun then analyzed: "So I judge that this banker's compound is now a safe house set up by the Special High School Class. These two people should be agents of the Special High School Class, specially responsible for guarding here. Masao Yoshioka did this in order to cover up others' eyes.
I will choose to meet Han Zhirong here."
Xu Chengyan fully agreed with Ji Yun's judgment. He thought about it secretly for a moment and said slowly: "Two guards, Masao Yoshioka and Han Zhirong, a bodyguard, and a driver outside the back door. There are only six people in total. The enemy is in the open."
, I am secretly launching an attack by surprise. We have a great chance of winning. Even if we cannot annihilate them all, we are still sure of taking Masao Yoshioka's life. Old plan, success or failure depends on this. This time we have to plan it carefully. There can be no mistakes.
A little bit of a loophole."
Xu Chengyan and Ji Yun are both skilled action masters, especially Xu Chengyan, who has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has experienced actual combat training in the military. With his martial arts skills, he is extremely confident in this operation.
When Ji Yun heard this, his mind was racing rapidly, and he said: "Even so, the assassination is relatively difficult. First of all, it is a Japanese overseas community, and there are many Japanese military and political departments scattered around it. The surveillance time today is not long.
, a Japanese patrol team passed by, and there were Japanese patrol police staying nearby. It can be said that as long as we accidentally alert them, it will be difficult for us to escape.
Furthermore, the meeting between Han Zhirong and Masao Yoshioka will not take place at night. If we take action during the day, we will be in greater danger.
Last but not least, we don’t know exactly when Han Zhirong will meet with Yoshioka Masao, so we can’t make preparations in advance. If we try to break in by then, the chance of success is low, but we will waste such a good opportunity.”
Xu Chengyan nodded. What Ji Yun said was indeed very troublesome. The previous three successful assassinations were all carried out late at night. They were sure to hit with one hit and evacuated immediately. None of them were as difficult as this time.
He thought for a while and said: "It is a bit difficult. It is indeed not the best place for an assassination, but as long as our preparations are meticulous, there is still a chance.
The first question is how to get in? This time is different from the past. Since it is not late at night, if we want to sneak in during the day, it will be easy to alert the other party. So I plan to sneak in in advance, lay an ambush first, and catch them off guard. In this way, the success rate will be higher.
will be greatly increased, and we can escape unscathed."
Ji Yun asked: "Do we need to deal with the two Japanese agents responsible for guarding first?"
"No, these two people cannot be disturbed," Xu Chengyan waved his hand and said decisively, "I want to let them bring Masao Yoshioka in, put him in a urn, and beat the dog behind closed doors. This is the best policy."
"But we are outside and don't know what's going on inside. What if we enter rashly in broad daylight and get caught in the act?"
Xu Chengyan put his hand on his forehead, thought for a moment, and said: "With only two Japanese agents guarding it, how can we see everything clearly? As long as we make a little noise and make some noise, it's not difficult to sneak in."
Ji Yun immediately understood what Xu Chengyan was thinking, and then said: "Since we want to do something inside the house, we need to figure out the specific structure of the Zhuang's courtyard. This house is not small. What is the layout of the yard, its front door and back door?
, and the distribution of each room, especially to determine which room Yoshioka Masao and Han Zhirong will meet, and where we can hide."
Xu Chengyan nodded after hearing this. This is also the homework they must do before every action. When they assassinated Dai Wenshan and Harada Kazuya before, they also spent a lot of effort to figure out all the situations before sneaking in.
One hit.
He said: "This matter is easy to handle. Tomorrow you go find someone who has helped the banker before. From his mouth, you can quickly ask questions. It's best to draw a sketch."
"Okay, do we need to bring firearms? If the gunshots sound, it will be difficult for us to escape."
"Bring it, try not to use it, but just in case, remember, our safety is secondary, the most important thing is to take Yoshioka Masao's life, even if it takes our two lives, it will
No hesitation!" Xu Chengyan said solemnly. He had already been mentally prepared for this and was dedicated to serving the country. As long as it was worth it, personal sacrifice was nothing.
"However, with our skills, we can deal with them even without firearms. As long as we move quickly and don't let them make any noise in a short period of time, we can escape unscathed even during the day."
Ji Yun didn't care at all about Xu Chengyan's words of comfort. His determination to fight against Japan and kill the enemy was not under Xu Chengyan's control. Life and death had long been disregarded. As long as Xu Chengyan made a decision, he would dare to fight through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
At this time, he took a deep breath and said again: "The last question is how to arrange the time for our infiltration. It is not too early or too late. We must first determine the time for Masao Yoshioka and Han Zhirong to meet."
"Since we can't be sure, we should take the initiative to create this opportunity." Xu Chengyan said with a wave of his hand. He has always been thoughtful and has already considered this issue. "We have been monitoring Han Zhirong during this period, and he has been acting very normal.
But when Jiang Sanyi died, Han Zhirong immediately contacted Yoshioka Masao, which means that when an unexpected situation occurs, he will report to Yoshioka Masao, and this is our opportunity to take action."
Ji Yun was overjoyed and quickly asked: "What are you going to do?"
Chapter completed!
