Chapter 851: Gunshots at the Liza Hotel
At the entrance of the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai, Cheng Qianfan and Sakamoto Yoshino were walking and chatting.
“Miyazaki-kun, will your ‘blatant’ remarks like this have a negative impact on your work?” Sakamoto Yoshino asked curiously.
He now feels that his friend is a treasure. Miyazaki-kun's experience has a fatal attraction for a person who dreams of novels and literature.
"It doesn't matter, everyone knows that I have Japanese friends." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "My friendship with Sakamoto-kun is not too secret."
"Naito-kun's matter..." Sakamoto Yoshino glanced at the consulate general, winked, and asked.
Cheng Qianfan knew what Sakamoto Yoshino was asking. He shook his head, "I didn't mention this to the teacher."
“Why?” Sakamoto Yoshino asked in confusion.
"This will make things difficult for Du Ren." Cheng Qianfan smiled lightly and said, "Although Du Ren may not care about this, as a friend, I can't do that."
“Miyazaki-kun is a true gentleman.” Sakamoto Yoshino said with admiration.
Cheng Qianfan took the cigarette handed over by Sakamoto Yoshino, "Besides, Naito-kun is also a person that the teacher respects very much. If I were to expose this matter, it would also embarrass the teacher."
He patted Sakamoto Yoshino on the shoulder, "I know Sakamoto-kun is aggrieved for me and wants to find a teacher..."
His expression was sincere, "I will handle it myself. The time is almost up. Goodbye, Sakamoto-kun."
Looking at the back of Kentaro Miyazaki turning away, Sakamoto Yoshino fell into thinking.
He actually had no intention of reporting this matter to Hyōtaro Imamura in private just now, but when he saw his friend in such a difficult situation, he was still thinking about Atsuto Kawada and Hyōtaro Imamura, and his thoughts arose in his heart.
Miyazaki-kun doesn't feel comfortable speaking, but he doesn't need to think so much.
It’s just that Miyazaki-kun is right about one thing. This matter involves Atsushi. Although it will not have any impact on Atsushi even if it is leaked, he still needs to communicate with Atsushi in private:
There are some things that Miyazaki-kun is not suitable to mention to Atsushi, but he can.
Liu Yuchu's eyes were fixed on Cheng Qianfan in the distance, thinking in his mind.
With Zhuo Yun’s repeated orders, he never thought of shooting Cheng Qianfan now.
What Liu Yuchu considered was that if he successfully shot Li Cuiqun, but encountered problems during the subsequent evacuation and was surrounded by enemies, then in such a situation where he could not escape unscathed and had to commit suicide, , but you can consider taking Cheng Qianfan away before leaving...
…
“Sir, we will be at the Licha Hotel soon,” said Zhang Lu, who was driving.
Li Cuiqun said "yes", lifted the car curtain, looked outside, then put it down, leaning on the seat with his whole body, a hint of worry between his eyebrows.
Zhang Lu glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Li Cuiqun lowering his eyes, seemingly worried.
Just two months ago, Li Cuiqun and Ding Mutun met Doi Yuan in a building located at No. 7 East Stadium Road, Hongkou, under the introduction of Shimizu Dongsan, secretary of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. Chongguangtang.
Tu Feiyuan spoke fluent Chinese and had a rather gentle attitude towards Li Cuiqun.
Li Cuiqun and Ding Mutun naturally knew that opportunities were hard to come by, and they expressed their hope to Madoka Doi to expand their agent power and contribute more to Japan.
Doi Yuan was quite interested in the bright prospects of the spy activities described by the two men, but in the end he said that he could not give a reply for the time being and would think about it again.
Just today, Dofeiyuan gave a response, expressing support for the secret service agencies of Dingmutun and Li Cuiqun to shift from focusing on intelligence activities to more espionage activities. The Japanese side provided funds, guns and ammunition to help them organize a team A powerful armed force of secret agents, and is planned to be named the 'China Kuomintang's Special Agent Headquarters for Eradicating Red Redemption and Saving the Country'.
Everything is going smoothly and the future is bright.
However, Li Cuiqun's mood was not that good.
The reason for this is: Qingshui Dongsan seems to value Dingmu Tun more!
Zhang Lu also heard that Dong San of Qingshui had a happy conversation with Dingmu Village, so he naturally understood what Li Cuiqun was worried about now.
He was also a little anxious in his heart.
As an absolute confidant of Li Cuiqun, Zhang Lu has long been tied to Li Cuiqun. If Li Cuiqun loses power, the good life he expected will naturally be gone.
"Sir, do you want me to find a chance to kill Ding..." Zhang Lu asked in a low voice.
“Stupid!” Li Cuiqun scolded, “Brother Ding and I share the same goals. Now is the time to work together to create a great cause. How can we be at war with each other?”
As he spoke, he said with a stern face, "I'll pretend I didn't hear this. I won't spare you the next time."
"Yes." Zhang Lu quickly expressed his position, "My subordinates are rough people and can't use their brains. I will do whatever the teacher says."
Li Cuiqun said ‘now’…
Li Cuiqun took a deep look at Zhang Lu and nodded.
“What do you think of Cheng Qianfan?” Li Cuiqun asked.
Without waiting for Zhang Lu’s answer, Li Cuiqun shook his head and said, “Drive well.”
The Licha Hotel was ahead. Li Cuiqun suddenly said, "Signal for Ah Fa's car to enter through the front door. We will go around to the side door."
“Understood.” Zhang Lu agreed, slowed down the car, honked the horn, paused for three seconds, rolled down the window, and spat out.
Then, an identical car passed by. In addition, only he and Zhang Lu were different from the car Li Cuiqun was riding in. This car was heavily guarded, with two people holding guns on each side of the car. Alert agents.
“Here we come.” The little Taoist priest who had been waiting for a long time and Liu Yuchu looked at each other.
The little Taoist priest put down the hood of the car, quickly got in, and started the car.
Liu Yuchu quickly got into the car and carefully picked up the formal rifle from his feet.
Slowly move the muzzle upward, move your **** back, adjust your posture, and get ready to shoot.
…
Broadway Building, east side, a room on the third floor.
A man held a cigarette in his mouth, put down his binoculars, and his eyes flashed with excitement, "It's finally here."
As he spoke, he whispered an order to the two people beside him, "Get ready!"
Following his order, the muzzles of two long guns slowly poked out of the window.
"Remember what the target looks like, don't make a mistake." The man asked worriedly.
"remember."
“Chief Yu, don’t worry.” The two said separately.
Yu Zhengze, chief of the Operations Unit of the Military Command Shanghai Station, rubbed his hands and looked eagerly at the door of the Licha Hotel.
Stationmaster Wang Tiemu originally arranged for Lu Xingge's troops to assassinate Li Cuiqun, but Lu Xingge went to contact the Loyalty and Salvation Army and never returned.
Shanghai Station suddenly received urgent information that Li Cuiqun will have a secret meeting with Cheng Qianfan from the French Concession at the Licha Hotel this morning.
Wang Tiemu was overjoyed, this was a God-given opportunity to kill Li Cuiqun.
In fact, Wang Tiemu's life has not been easy recently.
Previously, Wang Tiemu secretly went to Hong Kong to meet with Dai Chunfeng. The two did not agree on each other and had a big quarrel.
Dai Chunfeng proposed to arrange for Wang Tiemu to return to Tianjin to serve as a direct correspondent and to contact him directly, while the work in Shanghai was handed over to Zheng Lijun.
Wang Tiemu naturally disagreed. He was so angry that he even sent a telegram to the Luojiawan Bureau headquarters in Chongqing and cursed. The telegram contained the word "son of a bitch".
This actually strengthened Dai Chunfeng's determination to remove Wang Tiemu's top position in Shanghai Station.
At the same time, Wang Tiemu also thought about "doing a big thing", and he had great achievements in hand, so Dai Chunfeng was afraid of suppressing himself.
In this way, after learning the exact whereabouts of Li Cuiqun this time, Wang Tiemu was excited and happy. He couldn't wait for Lu Xingge's return, so he directly ordered Yu Zhengze, the chief of the operations unit, to take action to punish the traitor Li Cuiqun.
…
Even though it was not that far from the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai to the Richa Hotel, Cheng Qianfan still chose to take a car to the Richa Hotel after leaving the Consulate General.
‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ must have some face and pomp.
“Brother Fan.” Li Hao said.
Cheng Qianfan saw a car driving past quickly, and he wondered if it was Li Cuiqun's car?
“Enter through the side door.” Cheng Qianfan ordered.
Li Cuiqun's identity is very sensitive, and he cannot meet him in public.
Of course, this is an obvious reason. The real reason is that if his car appears at the door of Licha Hotel at this time, it will affect the little Taoist priest and the others' assassination of Li Cuiqun.
As for why we arrived close to ten o'clock and couldn't have arrived earlier? Or later?
cannot.
Given the status of ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ and considering Li Cuiqun’s status, it would be inappropriate for Cheng Qianfan to come early or late.
It is most suitable to pinch it a little bit.
I believe Li Cuiqun thinks the same way.
“Understood.” Li Hao nodded.
At this moment, the window of Liu Yuchu's car was rolled down, and the muzzle of the gun slowly came out, aiming at the main entrance of the Licha Hotel. To be precise, the muzzle of the gun had been locked near where Bai Xiaoxia was standing and waiting.
Once the vehicle arrived, Bai Xiaoxia took the initiative to open the door to greet the guests and confirmed Li Cuiqun's identity. Bai Xiaoxia sent a signal, and a gun was fired from Liu Yuchu's side.
…
The black car slowly stopped at the main entrance of Licha Hotel.
‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’s car accelerated and drove towards the side entrance of Licha Hotel.
What he didn't know was that in a car following him almost very close to him, Li Cuiqun was closing his eyes and concentrating.
Bai Xiaoxia was refreshed, with a polite smile on his face, and stepped forward to greet the guests.
“Hello, sir.”
However, Bai Xiaoxia's hand did not touch the car door. The agent standing next to the car window jumped down and pushed Bai Xiaoxia directly away.
“Go aside!”
Bai Xiaoxia was frightened and quickly backed away. People like him who make a living in big hotels are naturally the most discerning.
An agent hunched over and opened the car door.
The white shrimp acted like it was frightened and panicked, and just raised its head to look.
I saw a man in a suit and leather shoes getting out of the car, combing his hair back, and looking around in an imposing manner.
Um?
no!
Although his body shape and height resemble Li Cuiqun, this person is not Li Cuiqun!
Bai Xiaoxia immediately concluded that he had a very good memory. In addition, as a waiter, recognizing people is an essential skill. He could not admit his mistake.
The hand that was about to take off the hat almost subconsciously stopped. Bai Xiaoxia moved his hand down, scratched his cheek, and then scratched his neck. At the same time, he backed away hurriedly as if he was worried about bumping into the big shot.
Liu Yuchu pressed his index finger on the trigger and pointed the gun at the man who got out of the car. He was almost ready to pull the trigger subconsciously, and then he saw Bai Xiaoxia's movements.
This is—isn’t this person Li Cuiqun?
Liu Yuchu was puzzled.
“The signal is wrong, wrong.” The little Taoist priest who was always staring at the door of Licha Hotel also changed his expression and said.
"Do you want…"
Before Liu Yuchu finished speaking, he heard two gunshots.
Then they saw the man who had just got out of the car was hit directly and fell backwards to the ground.
"What's going on?" Liu Yuchu was shocked, "It's the team leader who arranged..."
"No!" the little Taoist said categorically. He knew the team leader. To be precise, he trusted Brother Fan immensely. Even if Brother Fan really arranged for another team to attack, he would definitely communicate with him in advance. No. Hidden from him.
“Evacuate!” The little Taoist stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle passed through the entrance of Licha Hotel and quickly disappeared into the chaotic streets.
Cheng Qianfan’s car and Li Cuiqun’s car arrived at the side door almost one after another.
As soon as Cheng Qianfan got out of the car, he heard the sound of gunshots, and he was overjoyed.
He is very aware of Liu Yuchu's marksmanship. This subordinate has the ability to penetrate Yang with a hundred steps and there is no way he will miss.
He was excited in his heart, but Cheng Qianfan had a look of panic and confusion on his face.
“Where was the gunshot?” Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
“Brother Fan, it’s the direction of the main entrance.” Li Hao was also shocked and said hurriedly.
Cheng Qianfan did not inform Li Hao about the sanctions against Li Cuiqun. This is naturally not because he does not trust Li Hao. The reason is very simple:
Haozi knew nothing about this. His behavior was the most normal after the gunfire sounded, and there would be no mistakes.
“Main entrance?” Cheng Qianfan was stunned for a moment, then he raised his wrist and looked at the time. It happened to be ten o’clock, and his face changed drastically, “It’s broken, Senior Li!”
Then, Cheng Qianfan turned his head and his eyes met a man parked beside the car not far behind him.
He was stunned.
Is it Li Cuiqun?
This guy is not dead?
No, why is he here instead of at the front door?
Since Li Cuiqun was not at the main entrance, why was the gunshot fired at the main entrance?
What happened at the main entrance?
Countless question marks lingered on Team Leader Xiao’s head.
At this moment, he was able to control his expression very well. To be precise, he showed the expression he should have at this moment:
Cheng Qianfan was stunned at first, then ecstatic and excited.
He strode forward and said, "Senior, it's great that you're okay. When I heard the gunshot, I thought it was for you."
"As I expected, they should be coming for me." Li Cuiqun glanced at the direction of the main entrance with lingering fear, then took a deep look at his junior, and said slowly.
