Chapter Eighty-One
Cai Diaotu, editor-in-chief of "Social Evening News", was lured to the Xinya Hotel by members of the zodiac, and was brutally killed. His head was hung on a telephone pole in the concession.
Li Junying, manager of the Damei Evening News, was assassinated and died near Fuzhou Road. Then the editor-in-chief Zhang Sixu was shot upstairs at the cafe on Nanjing Road.
The Mainland Newspaper was beaten, smashed, burned and robbed by a thug, and the editor-in-chief was seriously injured.
A series of bloody cases were all those who were close to Chongqing newspapers, or those who were upright people who scolded Wang Jingwei and other traitors who sold their country and sought honor.
The Japanese revenge was cruel and bloody, and they could not find a real opponent, so the Chongqing agents pointed their guns at these unarmed iron-bone literati.
The patriotic servants on the isolated island did not surrender in the bloody terror, and used their pen as a weapon to fight desperately against the enemy and puppets, using their lives and blood to water an oasis of hope on the isolated island.
"Who said that scholars are weak and boneless, and they listen to their writing skills as sharp as a knife?" Wu Ming held the newspaper in his hand and nodded in admiration. "Don't say, these scholars are really stubborn. This is a good thing to write!"
"How can anyone who plays with a pen and can beat a gun?" Han Han shook his head worriedly, "The Japanese are taking the initiative. Should we take action?"
"Action?" Wu Ming gave him a blank look, "Who are you looking for? You don't even know the target, just act. Wait until Chongqing has investigated clearly and find the enemy!"
"It must be done by the Japanese. Let's go to Hongkou District and kill a few Japanese people at least, at least we will feel better." Han Han gritted his teeth hatefully.
"Who am I?" Wu Ming suddenly pointed at his nose seriously and asked.
"You are my eldest brother!" Han Han replied inexplicably.
"Is there any?" Wu Ming raised his eyebrows and made a very heroic expression.
"You are..." Han Han scratched his head and thought hard.
"I'm so stupid." Wu Ming shook his head helplessly, stood up, and put on a cool look... "I'm still a must-killer. I'm extremely fierce, omnipotent, and invincible master."
Seeing Han Han open his mouth wide, Wu Ming was very satisfied with the effect and continued: "I only kill valuable targets, those humble and vulgar oriental files who wander around the streets can match me and find their leader. That's only enough."
"Master!" Han Han shouted in cooperation, but the expression on his face made Wu Ming feel chilled, "My admiration for you is like the continuous water of the Yangtze River, and the flooding of the Yellow River. You are so unstoppable that you are...."
"Inoue Mansion, Zodiac Year Club, Yasugoro Sasaki, No. 76." Wu Ming counted these names carefully and couldn't help but frown.
"Yes." Han Sai interrupted: "The news is very reliable. It is the punishment action that these organizations joined forces to plan and implement, code-named mouse trap."
"According to what is said above, Inoue and Yasuki Sasaki are the heads... The Long Live Club is the eyes and ears, and those ronin and zodiac are the hands and feet." Wu Ming pointed and said in a deep thought: "Would you like to behead your head first, or dig your eyes and ears first, or hit the lame one by one?"
"Other operation teams have begun to impose sanctions on members of the zodiac." Han Han added: "But these guys are very cunning and they all settled in Xinya Hotel, which is in Hongkou District, where the Japanese soldiers control the Hongkou area!
"How many traitors are there?" Wu Ming couldn't help but sigh, "I'll go find Gu Siye tomorrow. Please pay attention to the people entering and leaving the Inoue Mansion and Xinya Hotel. This is the only way. Let's take the time to check out Inoue Mansion and the Long Live Club, and try to cut off the Japanese's heads, blind their eyes, and deaf ears."
There is a guard at the entrance of Inoue Mansion, which conveys and door servants. On the platform of the building, there is a Japanese patrol and a bird's eye view of the entrance and exit of the gate.
"Inoue Riaki's whereabouts are very mysterious. He doesn't often come to the mansion." Han Han and Wu Ming walked on the road and said softly: "I usually stay at the Xinya Hotel on Beisichuan Road, sometimes at the Tongyuan Foreign Service in the Hatong Building, and sometimes elsewhere."
Wu Ming nodded slightly, "There are many Japanese military police, and you will see several draws along the way. Even if you can sneak into here, you won't be able to shoot. You also have to reserve a road across the Suzhou River. Don't be able to run back after several bridges are martial law."
"With your skills, it's not difficult to get here." Han Han said: "It's just that I can't kill Hiaki Inoue. Even if I kill all the Japanese here, it may not help."
"There are not many people here." Wu Ming frowned, "It shouldn't be very difficult, but as you said, if you can't kill Hiaki Inoue, killing these guard guards is indeed not worth much."
"Let's go and see the Long Live Club!" Han Han scratched his head with some distress, "It's not far from here, see if you can find a breakthrough there."
The Wansui Club uses the Japanese hotel "Wansui Hall" on Huade Road, Hongkou as its base. The members were Japanese policemen and Japanese police officers in the concession police room at that time. On the surface, this place is covered by wine, food, chess, singing and dancing, but in fact it is the base camp for Japanese spies to collect and exchange information about various anti-Japanese activities.
Especially on Saturday nights and Sundays, this club seems even more lively. Inoue Hiaki sometimes appears on this occasion, bringing up a few backbones and quietly joining together to make suggestions in the restaurant.
"There is no special protection." Wu Ming walked by the Wansui Hall and whispered: "It is probably because the members are all patrolmen and police officers, with guys on them, or it is because this is the Japanese territory and is protected by Japanese military police."
"It's hard to get in!" Han Han said: "All of them are Japanese, and they are familiar with each other, and strangers will be recognized soon."
Wu Ming frowned, thought without saying anything, and after a while, he raised his head and a confident expression appeared on his face again, "Let's talk about it back, it's up to man, there will always be solutions."
It seems that I won’t give it to you if I don’t shout it! Don’t bother me, just give me some monthly tickets in four words!
