In the winter morning in Shanghai, the sky lights up very early. After experiencing the chaos of changing owners in the concession, the leisurely Shanghainese are even more unwilling to get up early to face the cold faces and bayonets of the Japanese. Therefore, they would rather hide at home and go to the house as little as possible. When I had the opportunity to go to the street in the morning, I moved the toilet to the front of the door and went back to sleep. The customs bell had rang seven times, but there were still not many pedestrians on the street. Even the sanitation workers from the Concession Health Bureau were lazy. Yangyang hid in the corner of the alley. Only when he saw the supervisor and the Japanese patrolling, he quickly ran out and waved the broom a few times. When the figures disappeared, he went back to the corner.

At this moment, a truck covered with thick iron sheets drove out from the back door of the customs and headed for the Bund. There were two black cars in front and behind it. This was a batch of "trophies" that Yazawa Shinichi's special military police team had plundered in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. , including rare books, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, etc., have arrived in Shanghai under the escort of special military police. Today they will be transferred to the vault of the Japan Bank on the Bund and shipped back to Japan at an optional date. Since they are already on the ground in Shanghai, so The intensity of the escort is far inferior to that of the last time Suzhou transported gold.

Zhang Zhenguo and several of his men were hiding on the roof of a private house, watching three cars slowly driving up North Sichuan Road. The anxiety in his heart just now had long since disappeared. He swallowed hard and looked at Jin downstairs. Mian and others nodded, Jin Mian's sweaty cheeks twitched, and then he waved to the people around him, "Do it."

At the intersection, three cars were preparing to go straight at a moderate speed. Suddenly, a car suddenly rushed out of the side road. The three cars suddenly braked and rushed out before the people in the car could react. The muzzles of several submachine guns were stretched out from the car in front of them, and they fired at the car in front of them. Fresh blood splattered all over the glass of the car.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the truck driver hurriedly turned the steering wheel, increased the accelerator and rushed into a not-so-wide street on the right, followed closely by the car behind him.

Zhang Zhenguo slapped his thigh, "What happened? Didn't you mean to force the parking team to kill everyone and drive away the truck? How come only one car came out, and there were others."

He quickly looked at Jin Mian downstairs, and then he remembered that in addition to recruiting people and planning operations, Jin Mian also had to shoulder the task of unlocking the second plan.

Zhang Zhenguo's mind was spinning rapidly. The car drove into an unexpected street, which became a blind spot for observation. Thinking of Wu Sibao's cruelty and ruthlessness, Zhang Zhenguo shuddered, said hello, went downstairs, and ran towards that street. .

The truck entered a fork in the road, and after walking a short distance, he realized that the intersection in front of him was blocked by the butt of a very large truck. The driver was not in good condition, so he hurriedly reduced the speed, while the co-pilot next to him hurriedly looked out of the window. Zhong poked his head out, wanting to say hello to the car behind him, stop and turn around.

But just as he stretched out his head and before he had time to shout, a black figure jumped out of the truck's compartment, grabbed him by the neck, and threw him out of the compartment. His head hit the wall on the roadside. Suddenly the **** burst.

The black shadow quickly jumped into the car. Seeing that the situation was not good, the driver pulled out the pistol from his waist and wanted to shoot. The knife in the black shadow's hand flashed, and the driver's right hand left his body in an instant. Before the driver screamed, he was cold and cold. The blade pierced his body close to his ribs, and his heart was bruised by the blade. Then, the black shadow kicked the driver out of the car.

The shadow got into the driver's seat, closed the door, increased the accelerator and rushed forward. When the car behind saw the driver and co-pilot being thrown out of the car one after another, it immediately braked and stopped in place.

The metal truck rushed forward at a constant speed, but the large truck blocking the street suddenly opened its rear compartment. Several men ran out of the compartment at the same time and removed two iron plates.

The iron truck got straight into the truck compartment. The men took back the iron plate and locked the truck compartment. The truck started. The exhaust pipe emitted steaming white gas, blowing up the dust on the ground, and ran away in an instant.

At this time, the car behind him stopped in place stupidly, unable to react for a moment, but the car behind still chased him. Jin Mian jumped down from the wall with a few men, and got on the car with him. Several people together used guns to hold down the four special gendarmerie escorts in the car.

At this time, Zhang Zhenguo ran up panting with four of his men. When he saw Jin Mian, he suddenly became angry, but there were still Japanese who had not been dealt with before him, so he had to order the Japanese to throw out their guns with a livid face.

The four Japanese obediently handed their guns to the men with their faces covered by Jin Mian, and got out of the car obediently.

Without saying a word, Zhang Zhenguo picked up the gun in his hand and shot everyone in the chest.

Then, he walked up to Jin Mian with a tigerish face, raised his hand and said loudly, "Asshole, why don't you act as planned."

But then, Zhang Zhenguo felt something strange, and there was a sudden movement behind him. He turned around and saw that all of his men were being held firmly and had their guns drawn.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Zhenguo noticed something was wrong and his voice became trembling.

At this time, a metal pickup truck drove in backwards from the street entrance and slowly backed up to a place ten meters away from Jin Mian and others.

A young man got out of the car, leaned against the side of the car, and shouted to Jin Mian: "Why are you stunned? You haven't done anything yet."

Zhang Zhenguo was stunned. He vaguely felt that the young man in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

Gunshots suddenly rang in his ears, and with a few muffled groans, several of Zhang Zhenguo's men fell into a pool of blood.

Jin Mian took the pistol discarded by the Japanese and pressed it against Zhang Zhenguo's chest. His hands were trembling, but his eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Don't blame me, I don't want to die in an unknown way."

After the gunfire, Zhang Zhenguo opened his eyes wide, but suddenly remembered the identity of the young man. He was Lin Xiaotang's right-hand man, and he seemed to be called Huoyan.

Zhang Zhenguo fell to the ground helplessly, with an incredible look on his face. Jin Mian stepped forward and shot him twice in the chest.

At this time, there were loud whistles in the surrounding streets.

A man next to him took Jin Mian's pistol, wiped it clean with a sweat towel and put it in the hand of a Japanese.

Jin Mian followed them and Huoyan, and got into an inconspicuous truck with a carriage outside the street in despair. After getting on the bus, Huoyan gently picked up a square box and pressed a button on it. Suddenly there was an earth-shattering explosion.

While the car was moving, the car was very bumpy due to the high speed. After a while, Jin Mian showed signs of retching. Huoyan was already prepared and ordered his men to get a tin bucket. Jin Mian spit out some water. Just felt a little more comfortable.

But Huoyan's words immediately sent him into hell, and his whole body became cold.

"Yuan Jianfeng made a deal with Boss Lin, and the only requirement he made was that you become a dead person."

Jin Mian wanted to cry, but there were no tears. His lips were trembling, and he could not even say a word.

Huoyan smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don't be nervous, Boss Lin is not the kind of person who burns bridges by crossing rivers. Your substitute has been found for you. It's just a dead body anyway. It's very easy for us, Boss Lin." I’ve arranged everything for you. Let’s go to Peking to escape for a while. There will be a place where you can be useful in the future. How about that? Are you willing to go?”

In an instant, Jin Mian returned to the world from hell. Even the few ordinary faces with some mocking expressions in front of him seemed very friendly to him. He communicated with each other in tears, faltered but was speechless, and kept talking. nod.

Huoyan handed him a document bag, "Boss Lin gave this to you. It contains the ticket and your new identity. We will send you away from Shanghai right away."

"Shanghai." Jin Mian muttered this name that he loved and hated at the same time. He looked at the familiar street scene flashing through the cracks in the carriage, and felt mixed emotions in his heart. "I will definitely come back, for what he did to me. , I must come back too.”

…

The street was filled with a burning smell, and there were black marks everywhere on the road and walls, showing how violent the explosion had just been.

The truck hit the thick iron sheet and was blown to pieces. The raging flames that shot up into the sky burned for a full hour. Everything on the truck was turned into blackened remains and could no longer be identified.

There were only about a dozen bodies left at the scene, and the gendarmerie professionals carefully scanned the streets for clues.

Sasaki covered his nose and walked to the examiner's side. The examiner turned around and quickly stood up to salute. Sasaki waved and said, "How is the scene? Can you find any clues?"

"These people are very professional. There is no one left alive, and there are only so many things in the open. Others..." the examiner shook his head, "there is really nothing that can be found. Only some remains that were left in the truck and burned can be confirmed. They are some books, jewelry and the like, but they were burned so badly that the quality can no longer be seen."

Another examiner next to him replied: "We have also investigated the footprints and fingerprints at the scene. This is a street after all. There are too many unfamiliar footprints. The rest are left by these corpses. In addition, there are too many wheel marks." , too complicated. With all due respect, these are worthless. The other thing is the bullet casings. The battle was very fierce. There were submachine guns and pistols. What can be preliminarily confirmed is that the bullets on our soldiers belong to different guns, but everyone has them. There were bullets fired by this person, which were fatal injuries. I guess he killed most of the soldiers after they were subdued."

The examiner pointed to Zhang Zhenguo's body and added: "In the end, he was beaten to death by another soldier, and both sides were injured."

Another examiner took over, "Based on the traces at the current scene, the car was originally loaded with some things, but a small part of them were moved. Due to time constraints, the robbers did not take away much, so they There was so much debris left at the site."

Just as he was talking, Yazawa Shinichi's subordinate Lin Shaozuo hurried over. Seeing his appearance, Sasaki was immediately unhappy. The two walked to a secluded place, and Sasaki asked with a hint of reproach: "This is yours again. Goods."

Lin Shaozuo smiled awkwardly, "It's a matter of confidentiality. Sir, please understand the difficulties of a humble position."

Sasaki looked at the messy streets and said, "It's a good thing now, everything is reduced to ashes."

Lin Shaozuo looked at the scene and said through gritted teeth: "I must catch these daring gangsters."

Sasaki smiled bitterly, "You are the cause of the trouble. You should ask Colonel Yazawa what he meant. However, before leaving, you'd better identify the body."
