Cheng Qianfan and Li Cuiqun came to the main entrance of Licha Hotel together.
Li Cuiqun looked at the dead men lying on their backs on the ground with many bullets in their bodies. His back felt cold. If he hadn't chosen to enter through the side door carefully enough, it would have been him, Li Cuiqun, lying on the ground at this moment.
Cheng Qianfan looked at the deceased. The hairstyle and body shape of the deceased were very similar to Li Cuiqun, but they were not easily confused. Not to mention those who were familiar with Li Cuiqun, they had also seen photos of Li Cuiqun. People are absolutely unmistakable.
Liu Yuchu was shooting from a long range. Due to the distance, Liu Yuchu might see the wrong person, but this was the purpose of arranging Bai Xiaoxia to greet guests at the door for verification.
You can't go wrong with white shrimp.
Since there is no mistake, Bai Xiaoxia will not send an action signal, so - these two shots were not fired by Liu Yuchu!
He glanced at the frightened Bai Xiaoxia who was hiding not far away with the other waiters and doormen. The latter looked frightened and shook his head inconspicuously.
This confirmed Cheng Qianfan's guess.
It wasn't Liu Yuchu who fired the gun, then who was it?
…………
Cheng Qianfan looked at Li Cuiqun with a solemn expression. "My people." Li Cuiqun said.
Cheng Qianfan knelt down and took a closer look at the deceased's appearance, then glanced at Li Cuiqun with a thoughtful expression.
However, he did not say anything, but checked the deceased's gun muzzle, "One shot in the lower abdomen, one shot in the chest, and another shot, which should be a replacement shot."
Cheng Qianfan stood up, shook his head, frowned and looked at Li Cuiqun, "Senior, this is going to kill you!"
Li Cuiqun's face was as dark as water.
"Sir, the shooting was from the third floor of Broadway." A secret agent ran over and reported to Li Cuiqun, "Japanese soldiers have already passed over Broadway."
Cheng Qianfan was moved. The opponent chose the third floor of Broadway as the shooting point, which was the same as his previous plan. This was a veteran in action.
"Senior, if you need anything, please ask." He looked at Li Cuiqun and said in a deep voice. "Thank you. If you really need it, I won't be polite to you." Li Cuiqun nodded. With something like this happening, the meeting was naturally aborted.
Li Cuiqun had a few hasty words with Cheng Qianfan, asking him to help find Ou Yingchun, who was formerly in the detective brigade, and Cheng Qianfan agreed wholeheartedly.
Seeing the gloomy Li Cuiqun and his men rushing towards Broadway, Cheng Qianfan also had a solemn expression.
"Brother Fan, the brothers have been notified." Li Hao came over and said.
An assassination occurred. Although the target was Li Cuiqun, "Mr. Xiao Cheng" was also frightened. Instead of taking the risk and leaving, he ordered Li Hao to call for help.
Now "Mr. Xiao Cheng" lacks a sense of security.
Cheng Qianfan nodded.
"What does it smell like?" He suddenly frowned, covered his nose, and turned to look, only to see the white shrimp hiding not far away with a sad and frightened face, and a puddle of water under his crotch.
Cheng Qianfan waved his hand, glanced at the doorman who peed his pants with disgust, and cursed "Asshole" in his mouth.
Such a heinous shooting occurred in front of the Licha Hotel, which shocked "Mr. Xiao Cheng" even more. Even though he had a Japanese owner as his backer, the new manager of the hotel still did not dare to neglect and personally came to comfort "Ms. Xiao Cheng" and started talking. The best room, please "Mr. Xiao Cheng" go and have a rest to calm down.
When he said "surprise", the manager's eyes flickered and he meant something.
"I bumped into a red guy." Cheng Qianfan cursed and went to rest, accompanied by the manager.
...
Li Cuiqun's face was very ugly.
When the Japanese soldiers at Paramount saw the spies running toward them with guns raised, they almost opened fire as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Li Cuiqun hurriedly sent someone to contact him. After announcing his home address, the other party said he didn't know him at all. It wasn't until he stepped forward and said the name of Shimizu Dongzo that the Japanese soldiers put down their guns. However, Li Cuiqun was still not allowed to bring anyone in.
Li Cuiqun felt aggrieved and helpless. Don't look at him and Chongme.
Tun was received by senior Japanese generals such as Madoka Doi, and was "entrusted with important tasks". However, the current situation is that even a Japanese soldier can manipulate him.
Fortunately, not far from here is the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai, which belongs to a "strictly controlled security zone." A team of Japanese patrol officers soon arrived.
This was due to the Japanese army's pressure on Britain and the United States after occupying the Chinese boundary of Shanghai. The British and Americans had to agree to the Japanese army's deployment of a large number of Japanese patrols in the Japanese actual control area of the public concession. In fact, most of these Japanese wearing patrol uniforms were active Japanese soldiers. , which also included a portion of the military police.
After being blocked from entering, Li Cuiqun called Qingshui Dongsan from the Consulate General. At this moment, Qingshui Dongsan arrived accompanied by Dingmutun.
Seeing that Ding Mutun and Qingshui Dongsan appeared together, Li Cuiqun sneered in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. "Suigao, are you okay?" Dingmutun asked with concern.
"You're lucky, you escaped." Li Cuiqun smiled bitterly. "Such a thing happened!" Qingshui Dongsan said with a solemn face. He was very angry.
Although Qingshui Dongsan believes that Dingmutun is more valuable, this does not mean that he has completely given up on Li Cuiqun. In Qingshui Dongsan's plan, Ding, who has a higher status within the Kuomintang, is the leader and Li is the assistant. This is very The right fit.
Therefore, Qingshui Dongsan still cares about Li Cuiqun's life.
What's more, this place is right next to the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai. Such an assassination case can be said to be extremely bad in nature and have a very serious impact.
After Qingshui Dongsan spoke, the Japanese soldiers finally agreed to let Li Cuiqun's men enter the Broadway Building together with the Japanese patrol.
However, it was already too late.
........
"If the Japanese had allowed us to enter earlier, we might have been able to stop the gunmen." Zhang Lu said angrily.
Li Cuiqun shook his head slightly, with a gloomy look on his face, "The other side came prepared. They are more familiar with the terrain than we are."
As he spoke, he tapped his fingers on the table, "It can't be blocked."
At this time, Li Cuiqun, who had found nothing, had returned to No. 67 Daxi Road.
According to a preliminary investigation, moments after the gunshots were fired, a car drove out of the south entrance on Broadway.
In addition, two long guns left by the gunman were found in a room on the east side of the third floor.
It is speculated that after completing the shooting, the opponent decisively discarded the weapon and went downstairs. Then he took a car that had been prepared and left the south gate, which was not open and not guarded by soldiers before the exits of the building were blocked:
The lock on the south door was broken open and the car rushed out. At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.
There was a knock on the door.
"Suigao, are you inside?" It was Dingmutun's voice.
"Brother Ding, please come quickly." Li Cuiqun hurriedly stepped forward and personally opened the door for Ding Mutun.
He winked at Zhang Lu, who quickly stepped back, leaving the two bosses talking secretly in the office.
…-
"Why did Suigao go to Licha Hotel at this time?" Dingmutun handed a cigarette to Li Cuiqun. "Do you care where I go?"
Li Cuiqun was furious, especially when the scene of Dingmu Tun and Qingshui Dongsan flashed in his mind, he was even more secretly angry——
This shows that when he called Qingshui Dongsan, Dingmutun was in Qingshui Dongsan's office!
Li Cuiqun took the cigarette, took out the lighter, turned the gear and lit it, smoking silently without answering Dingmutun's question.
Dingmetun was not in a hurry and smoked his cigarette slowly.
"I made an appointment with Cheng Qianfan from the French Concession to discuss some matters." Li Cuiqun flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said.
"What are we talking about?" Ding Mutun asked immediately. Seeing Li Cuiqun's face darken, he chuckled, "It's not my fault. It's about the assassination of my brother. No details can be missed." As he said, he said lightly. Taking a puff of cigarette, "Of course, if it's a private matter, I don't need to talk about it." "I have nothing to say." Li Cuiqun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Cheng Qianfan has great hands and eyes in the French Concession, so I made an appointment with him. The reason we met was to ask him to help find out the whereabouts of a suspicious person.
fall. Ding Mutun nodded, but did not ask who the "suspicious person" Li Cuiqun mentioned was.
In his heart, he sneered. Asking Cheng Qianfan to help investigate people was probably just an excuse. Li Cuiqun probably wanted to win over Cheng Qianfan.
This "Mr. Xiao Cheng" is said to be Li Cuiqun's junior student. There is such a connection... What if Cheng Qianfan was really won over by Li Cuiqun?
Dingmutun's heart sank.
This is naturally not good news for him.
It goes without saying that Cheng Qianfan's energy and influence in the French Concession were great.
Dingmutun also learned something from Shimizu Dongsan. The relationship between "Mr. Xiao Cheng" and the Japanese is closer than outsiders imagined. It is said that Cheng Qianfan fell into the eyes of Counselor Hyōtaro Imamura for some unknown reason. Very popular.
At present, he has the secret support of Qingshui Dongsan, and Li Cuiqun has two shortcomings. One is that Li has little influence within the Kuomintang, and the other is that Li Cuiqun has no reliable followers among the Japanese. foot.
And if Li Cuiqun succeeds in winning over Cheng Qianfan, and then uses Cheng Qianfan to climb up the high branches of Imamura Hyoutaro...
Dingmutun's heart moved. Naturally, he couldn't just watch this happen.
"Brother Suigao," Dingmutun said thoughtfully, "how many people know about your meeting with Cheng Qianfan?"
"What does Brother Ding mean?" Li Cuiqun looked at Dingmutun with twinkling eyes. "Is it possible that it's Cheng Qianfan..." Ding Mutun said slowly.
"Absolutely impossible." Li Cuiqun shook his head, "You know Liu Wen who was killed by the gunman. This person only has a slight resemblance to me. In fact, his appearance is very different."
He put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, "Cheng Qianfan knows my face. If he was in charge of this matter, the gunman could not have killed the wrong person."
It was naturally impossible for Li Cuiqun not to suspect Cheng Qianfan.
In fact, at the moment when the gun was fired, his first reaction was to suspect Cheng Qianfan. However, after a quick thought, Li Cuiqun dismissed the doubts about Cheng Qianfan.
One of them is the reason he told Li Cuiqun.
Another reason is that Li Cuiqun witnessed Cheng Qianfan getting out of the car and hearing the gunshot. His facial expressions and words and actions all showed their shock at the sudden gunshot. Demonstrated concern for his safety.
Not only Cheng Qianfan, but also the reaction of Cheng Qianfan's driver proved this, and it could never be staged.
"Suigao, I know that I am very sincere to my friends, but I have to be careful of being deceived." Ding Mutun frowned and advised.
"I understand Brother Ding's good intentions." Li Cuiqun said, "However, I believe Cheng Qianfan, this matter has nothing to do with him."
He also understood at this time that Ding Mutun's move was deliberately to plant a thorn in the side between him and Cheng Qianfan.
"Friendship" between people is the least able to withstand torture and suspicion. Why is Dingmutun like this?
Is this because you don’t want to see him get close to Cheng Qianfan?
Li Cuiqun thought quickly and realized that he did intend to use this opportunity to get closer to Cheng Qianfan. He coveted Cheng Qianfan's power and influence in the French Concession.
Yes, this is exactly what Dingmutun doesn't want to see.
It's just that the behavior of Yiyi Chome Tun was just like that of the Smiling Tiger. He had never been so straightforward and brutal. These words were equivalent to directly slandering Cheng Qianfan, which was too harsh.
What is the reason for Dingmu Tun to behave in such an "abnormal" manner?
Li Cuiqun couldn't figure it out for a while, but his intuition told him that there must be something fishy.
.......
Li Cuiqun insisted that there was nothing wrong with Cheng Qianfan, and Ding Mutun smiled and said nothing more.
Even though Li Cuiqun was so decisive, based on his understanding of this person, it was hard to say what he was thinking.
There are some words that need no elaboration. He believes that this thorn has been successfully buried.
The two communicated about the matter for a while, but there were no definite clues or conclusions. Ding Mutun expressed concern and told Li Cuiqun that he was about to die, and then left.
.
...
"Old fox!" Li Cuiqun snorted coldly.
He leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and rubbed his temples.
Immediately, Li Cuiqun's face became very ugly, his expression became more gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a sinister light.
"Military Commander!"
"Dai Chunfeng!" Li Cuiqun gritted his teeth.
He was 90% sure that the assassination was carried out by the military commander. Picking up the phone receiver casually, Li Cuiqun asked for a phone number. Soon, the call was connected.
"Brother Jing, thank you." Li Cuiqun said solemnly.
"Brother Li's words really make me..." Jing Muyun on the other end of the phone said with a smile, and then the speed of his voice changed, "Well? Brother Li, they took action? Are you okay?"
"Danger after danger, I saved my life." Li Cuiqun snorted coldly and said, "Liu Wen is dead."
"Liu Wen? Oh!" Jing Muyun said "Oh", thinking that this Liu Wen was the person in the photo that Li Cuiqun provided to him.
Yu Zhengze, who was previously at the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, found him and asked him for Li Cuiqun's photos. He first pretended that he needed time to get the photos, and then secretly informed Li Cuiqun.
Li Cuiqun was shocked and angry when he learned that the military commander was going to take action against him, so he discussed it with Jing Muyun, and finally came up with the idea of providing fake photos to the military commander to "Li Daitao Zombie".
But he didn't expect that the photo had just been provided to that side, and it didn't take long for the military commander to eagerly take action.
"Dai Chunfeng, Dai Chunfeng, how much you want me to die." Li Cuiqun was secretly resentful. Although there was a more eye-catching target like Ding Mutun, Dai Chunfeng did not attack Ding Mutun, but he attacked him first. .
Do you think he, Li, is easy to bully? How insulting!
