As night fell, Mr. Gong made a cup of tea and drank a few sips.
I spent the whole day at Jing'an Temple. It was really nice and eye-opening.
Mr. Gong picked up a half-read book.
This is a book written by a British person, and it talks about national political and economic relations.
Mr. Gong is particularly interested in this kind of books.
Once it's in, it can't be pulled out.
When I finally remembered the time, I found that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
He put down the book and stretched.
It's time to sleep.
After washing up, Mr. Gong walked into the bedroom.
It's ten fifteen at night.
The night in Shanghai is quiet and peaceful.
It's as if there has never been a war here...
…
Tahara Kouta looked at the time.
10:15 p.m.
The lights in the house opposite were finally turned off.
He looked around and found nothing unusual.
It's now!
Kill Mr. Gong!
He checked the pistol again to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, and then quickly walked towards the opposite side.
The old-fashioned door is closed from the inside with a bolt.
This kind of door is very easy to pry open with a knife as long as there is nothing pressing it inside.
Mr. Gong obviously didn't hold the door open.
In order to find Mr. Gong's whereabouts, Tahara Kouta has been disguising himself as a beggar and observing at Jing'an Temple these days.
Hard work paid off, and Mr. Gong's traces were finally discovered by him.
Tahara Kouta carefully pried open the door, making sure not to disturb the people inside.
He slipped in quietly, not daring to make a sound.
The house was very quiet.
He slowly walked towards the bedroom.
The gun was held tightly in his hand.
He adjusted his mood and kicked open the bedroom door.
He rushed in and shot three times on the bed "bang bang bang".
There was no movement under the quilt.
Tahara Kouta lifted the quilt.
It’s over, I’ve been fooled!
There is no one under the quilt!
Another secret door in the bedroom opened, and four people rushed out in an instant.
Four guns were pointed at him!
At the same moment, the door was knocked open and four more people rushed in.
be cheated!
He was thrown into a desperate situation.
Mr. Gong walked in slowly accompanied by Meng Shaoyuan.
"Don't move, I'll kill you if you move." An agent yelled at Kota Tahara to put down his gun.
However, Tahara Kouta still held his weapon firmly.
"If you lose, you lose."
Mr. Gong smiled: "I came here and there is a door to leave. This trap was originally prepared for you."
"Very clever."
It can be seen that Tahara Kota is not reconciled: "When did you start preparing?"
Mr. Gong did not hide anything: "Before I prepared to leave Hong Kong, I deliberately left three places I planned to go to. You already knew this before coming to Shanghai."
The flesh on Tahara Kouta's face twitched.
In Meng Shaoyuan's eyes, such an expression appeared in this situation, which was a sign of despair.
"I lost." Tahara Kota sighed: "We have been fighting for so many years, and I lost."
Then, the corner of his mouth twitched, as if he was smiling.
A desperate smile.
Meng Shaoyuan knew that Tahara Kouta was completely desperate at this point.
Tahara Kouta took a deep breath: "But no matter what, I am a subject of His Majesty the Emperor. I am the strongest agent in Japan. I will never allow myself to become a prisoner!"
If a person wants to commit suicide, no one can stop him.
Kota Tahara ended his life with a bullet.
The moment he pulled the trigger, Meng Shaoyuan noticed an obvious hesitation.
Scared.
A brave person will hesitate for a while before committing suicide.
Just die.
Kota Tahara, known as "Japan's most powerful agent", was killed just like that.
The process is very painless.
No difficulty at all.
Any action will become much easier to implement if it is carefully planned in advance.
Operation Knives was a huge success.
The actual commander of this operation was Mr. Gong.
Now, Meng Shaoyuan knew why Dai Li trusted Mr. Gong so much.
He has been carefully designing this game since he was in Hong Kong.
This was also the first cooperation between the three giants of military control in Shanghai, and it ended perfectly.
With a sound plan, adequate preparation, and dedicated writing, nothing is impossible.
"He is still dead after all, we have been fighting for so many years." Mr. Gong said with a bit of regret, "Let's bury him properly."
Meng Shaoyuan could completely understand this feeling.
Two rivals who have been fighting for many years will always feel some sympathy for each other.
"Director Meng, I have two things I want to trouble you to do."
"Please give your orders."
Mr. Gong thought for a moment:
"The first thing is to find Tahara Kouta's residence in Shanghai, seal it immediately, and notify me as soon as possible. No one is allowed to touch the things inside except me."
"yes."
Meng Shaoyuan immediately agreed.
Tahara Kouta will carry some information with him, and some of it may be top secret. Of course the fewer people who know, the better.
"The second thing is, please book a table of wine for me at the International Hotel at noon tomorrow. I said that once Tahara Koten is dealt with, I will treat everyone to a drink."
"Okay, Mr. Gong."
"By the way, the food is simpler, but I don't have that much money."
"Mr. Gong, I paid for this for you."
"Director Meng, no need." Mr. Gong smiled faintly: "I have told you many times that public is public, private is private, public and private should be distinguished. It is better for me to pay for my personal treat."
"Okay, Mr. Gong." Meng Shaoyuan was a little helpless.
This Mr. Gong is a little too stubborn.
"Okay." Mr. Gong looked at the time and said, "It's very late. Let's take care of the body, and then everyone can go back and rest."
"Mr. Gong, I'll take you back first." Meng Shaoyuan said, "The gunfire must have alerted people nearby, but no one dares to meddle in other people's business. The patrol will not come until at least daytime. The aftermath work here is Leave it to them.”
"Then I'll trouble you." Mr. Gong took the test and said, "Please send me to Shiqiao Lane. That is my new residence."
"Mr. Gong, I'll arrange the car."
…
The gunshots at night were just as Meng Shaoyuan expected. No one wanted to cause trouble for him. It was not until about 8 o'clock in the morning that a few patrolmen came to investigate.
Instead, neither the body nor the resident was found. In the spirit of doing more things than doing less, the patrols made a hasty conclusion and closed the case.
Nothing happened.
Koichi Hahara got the news at 9 o'clock.
"You won't shoot out of nowhere." Koichi Hahara immediately made his own judgment: "Something must have happened."
"Your Excellency Major, urgent call."
As soon as Hahara Hikaru took the telegram, he read it for a while and frowned.
"What's the matter?" Tian Qi asked.
"Just got the news." Koichi Hahara put down the telegram in his hand: "In order to hunt down Mr. Gong, the empire's agency in Hong Kong sent a killer to Shanghai. This person's name is Tahara Kouta."
"Alone?" Tian Qi thought for a moment: "What can he do if he comes to Shanghai alone? Why hasn't he contacted us until now?"
"I have heard of Kota Tahara." Hahara Koichi said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "He killed several military agents in Hong Kong and Macau, so he got the nickname, Japan's Strongest Agent."
Tian Qi laughed when he heard this nickname: "Isn't this a bit too loud?"
"I'm not jealous, but when I heard this nickname, I almost couldn't help laughing." Koichi Hahara shook his head: "The situation in Hong Kong and Macau is very different from ours. , or the military command, are relatively weak and more convenient to move around, which has caused the ignorance of some intelligence personnel.
They have no idea how complicated and cruel the intelligence work in Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan and other places is. They think that they can create so-called miracles by themselves. Ignorance, Kota Tahara may be an excellent agent, but the power of one person? Wait, let me think. "
Koichi Hahara thought for a long time before saying: "Mr. Tian, let's make a hypothesis. Mr. Gong has arrived in Shanghai and has contacted the military commander. Will they set a trap to lure Kota Tahara to take the bait? Yesterday, There were gunshots at night and the patrol found no body. Is there a possibility..."
"Tahara Kouta was killed." Tian Qi said: "The military commander handled everything immediately, so the patrol did not find anything."
"It's possible, it's possible." Koichi Hahara murmured there: "How can Tahara Kouta fight against the military if he is alone? How stupid is he to fight alone in Shanghai, how can he succeed? Mr. Tian, I am in Shanghai There are many connections, help me investigate what happened last night and see if the unlucky guy is Tahara Kouta."
The dignified "Japan's strongest killer" became an unlucky guy in the mouth of Hahara Koichi.
Tian Qi did not hesitate: "I will immediately go investigate and find out the whereabouts of Mr. Gong. Mr. Hahara, I still recommend that you visit General Itanai to mobilize as many resources as possible. I do still have some in Shanghai. I can use my power, but without your full support, maybe I will end up being an unlucky guy."
Han Yuanguang smiled, and he patted Tian Qi on the shoulder: "Mr. Tian, you will not be unlucky, and I will not be unlucky. I said that if the two of us can work together sincerely, we will do a lot of things. of."
"The premise is that my suspicion is completely eliminated."
Tian Qi once again mentioned this question that even Koichi Hahara could not answer directly for the time being: "But please don't worry, I can't go anywhere except here."
Hanbara Koichi clearly heard a hint of sadness in his words.
Yes, life is really difficult sometimes when you are a traitor.
However, once you take this step, you can’t turn back!
