Feng Zhizhong, secretary of the Sino-French Friendship Association, was shot dead by members of the military command operation in front of Feng's residence on Yadongpei Road.
After nearby police officers arrived, a shootout broke out on West Ehams Road.
After receiving the call, Xie Xuan drove the car towards West Ehams Road with everyone around him.
When Xie Xuan arrived at West Ehams Road, the patrolman trapped him in a doorway.
"Brother Xiong, how are you? Are you dead?"
Xie Xuan met Xiong Huasheng who had just arrived. He took out his gun, checked the bullets, and asked.
"I heard he was shot. I don't know if he's dead or not."
Patrolling is just a profession. It's OK to let them shoot, but forget it if you have to make them fight tooth and nail.
The doorway is a blind spot, and no one dares to rush forward easily. After all, bullets don't have eyes.
"Ma Tian, cover."
Xie Xuan shouted, took out his gun and rushed out.
It's not that Xie Xuan is not afraid, but he feels that such a warrior should help him if possible.
Ma Tian led people to shoot at the doorway from behind, waiting for Xie Xuan to enter safely.
When Xie Xuan rushed to the doorway, he found that the murderer was covered in blood, had been shot several times, and was already dying.
"What's your brother's name?"
Xie Xuan picked up the gun on the ground and found that it was out of bullets.
"Toulide."
"Who?"
"Changshu, Jiangsu."
Xie Xuan said: "Feng Zhizhong is dead. Stop talking and I will take you to the hospital."
"No need, I can't survive. Even if Feng Zhizhong dies, I won't lose. I killed a few before, so I'm good enough, haha."
A smile appeared on Tao Lide's face, but blood continued to flow from the corner of his mouth.
Xie Xuan counted the bullet holes on his body. There were four in total, and they were all in vital points.
Xie Xuan asked: "Do you have any wishes? Is there anyone else in the family who needs to be taken care of?"
"I only hope that Japan will be defeated and China will be strong. I have a younger sister at home... I can't control her."
Tao Lide's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was like falling asleep. He tilted his head and fell asleep forever, with a satisfied smile still on his face.
He completed the mission, even if he died, he felt it was enough.
Xie Xuan said softly: "Don't worry, someone will take care of her."
"Bang bang!"
Xie Xuan fired two shots at the ground beside him, as if to see him off and as a promise to him.
"Boss."
"The person is dead, please send it to Wanguo Funeral Home."
Xiong Huasheng saw Xie Xuan coming out and asked, "Director Xie, who is he?"
Xie Xuan said lightly: "I don't know, the person is already dead, either seeking revenge or committing adultery. If a person like him is killed, do you still need to ask for a reason?"
He ignored Xiong Huasheng and walked back to the car alone. After closing the door, he took out his cigarette and took a deep breath.
His mood was a little out of control just now, but it doesn't matter. Anyone who encounters such a situation will feel uncomfortable.
People like Tao Lide never thought about their own lives when they committed the assassination.
He only has one wish in his heart, to kill the traitor! Kill one to get enough money, kill one more to earn one.
Xie Xuan quickly reported the news of Tao Lide's death to Shancheng and asked Shancheng to send him information about Tao Lide's sister.
Xie Xuan did not say in front of Tao Lide that he would take care of his sister. He was a traitor. He would not feel at ease if he said such words for fear of Tao Lide's death.
Can you close your eyes if you let a traitor take care of his sister?
After Shancheng called back, Xie Xuan also learned about Tao Lide's situation: He was from Changshu, Jiangsu Province. In July 1939, he participated in the Shenpu station operation work. He was bold and careful, and made many meritorious deeds.
Xie Xuan feels that it is true that Tao Lide is bold, but he may not be careful. As for his repeated achievements, it should be true. For such a courageous person, whenever he sees a traitor, he wants to kill him. It would be strange if he does not perform meritorious deeds.
Tao Lide has a younger sister named Tao Lilei, who lives at Shenpu Girls' School.
Xie Xuan went to investigate first and did not go to her immediately.
After all, his identity is inconvenient.
However, as promised to Tao Lide, it must be done.
This is the trouble of lurkers. Many things they cannot help but do, and they cannot do what they want to do. What you don’t want to do, you have to do every day.
Ma Tian went to Xie Xuan's office to complain: "Boss, is Wan Haixiang crazy? Everyone has said that the action is suspended, people are removed openly, and more people are secretly added."
The people at the top move their mouths, while the people at the bottom run and break their legs.
Xie Xuan said calmly: "He likes to increase manpower, so let him increase manpower."
Wan Haixiang is now in a dilemma. Let's evacuate the people. What if the military commander takes action?
If it is not withdrawn, it will seriously affect the work of one place.
Sure enough, there were successive operations at the Shenpu Station of the military command, including the police chief of the special high-tech section, the intelligence officers of the Secret Service Department, and some traitors who had surrendered to the enemy, and they all became the targets of the military command.
Moreover, these cases all occurred in the Chinese community and all involved military control, which made Wan Haixiang very anxious.
Two days later, Liu Naou, the president of Shenpu News Agency, was shot dead by military commanders at the Jinghua Hotel on Fuzhou Road.
Being responsible for the concession everywhere, Xie Xuan was under pressure now.
But he had no important task at hand and could quickly organize a manpower investigation.
Wan Haixiang, however, was always unable to spare manpower. After being reprimanded several times by Li Junshi, he had to remove the people who secretly protected Cheng Guoliang.
When Xie Xuan rushed to the Jinghua Hotel, Wan Haixiang finally arrived with Yuan Yijun.
Xie Xuan said calmly: "Director Wan is busy with his affairs. Since this case happened in the concession, let the four parties handle it."
"As long as it's a military case, it's all in one place."
Before Wan Haixiang could speak, Yuan Yijun beside him said coldly.
Xie Xuan glanced over and said coldly: "Sir, what are you saying next to me? Is it because you didn't remember the last slap?"
Yuan Yijun subconsciously hid behind Wan Haixiang. Last time in Hong'anli, he stopped Xie Xuan from handling the case, but was punished by Xie Xuan.
Wan Haixiang said calmly: "Director Xie is so majestic. I will take care of my people myself. It is better to hand over the military commander's case to one department."
Xie Xuan asked back: "Aren't the cases on hand enough for you?"
Wan Haixiang did not back down: "This case is different, one department must participate in the investigation."
Xie Xuan asked: "What should we do? Should we investigate each one individually? Or should we conduct a joint investigation?"
"Of course, each one investigates separately. Of course, information can be shared."
How could Wan Haixiang work with Xie Xuan, even though he owed Xie Xuan a favor regarding Li Xiaojian. But Xie Xuan offended Li Junshi too much about Yuan Yijun and Hu Hai, so naturally he couldn't get too close to Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan chuckled and said, "I like sharing the most."
"snort."
Yuan Yijun snorted coldly, with a look of disbelief.
Wan Haixiang and Yuan Yijun's attention has been directed to the Liu Naou case, and the energy and manpower devoted to Cheng Guoliang will naturally be reduced.
Xie Xuan was also waiting for this opportunity, and the Third Action Brigade could finally take action.
