"...Then, he went back." A secret agent was reporting to Hattori Hikoo on the surveillance situation that day.
Hattori Hikoo asked: "Is he hiding something in the corner?"
"We sent people to look and found nothing. There was a cross symbol painted on the wall tiles."
"Has anyone seen the symbols in the corner?"
"No."
Hattori Hikoo thought about it. Assuming that Shopkeeper Sun was indeed a spy, he would certainly not draw a meaningless symbol. The purpose should be to convey news to his associates.
"How high is the brick with the symbol on it from the ground?"
"...about about one meter. He probably didn't want to attract attention at the time, so he lowered his hand to draw the symbol below."
"About one meter?"
Hattori Hikoo realized something was wrong. Children often scribbled on the wall. Shopkeeper Sun's paintings were of such a short height that they could easily be destroyed and become unrecognizable.
Moreover, there have been frequent rains in Yanjin recently. If no one looks at the symbol for a long time, the probability of it being washed away by the rain is very high.
Obviously, Shopkeeper Sun is not leaving a password for anyone, but attracting the attention of the monitor! He is covering his accomplices to do other things!
So, Shopkeeper Sun discovered that he was being watched?
Hattori Hikoo thought for a while and continued to ask: "Did he have any contact with strangers on the day he did this?"
"A man came to buy a flashlight and then left."
The agents have been monitoring for so long, and have some impressions of the people who often go there. In addition, Sun Ji Grocery Store is located in a remote location, and there are not many customers in the first place.
"Have you sent someone to follow you?"
"Following him, that person lives in the Heshun Hotel on North Street."
"Outlander?"
"right."
“There’s no grocery store on North Street?”
"About three or four."
"Since there are so many grocery stores on North Street, why would he choose to go far away?"
"Could it be that he's a regular customer and got lucky?"
"...Immediately send someone to find out what this person does and why he came to Yanjin!"
"yes!"
Within half a day, the secret agent came back and reported: "Major, that person's situation has been basically found out."
"explain."
"His name is Wang Feng. He is from Langfang. He is a coachman from Sanyou Car Company in Peking. He just arrived in Yanjin yesterday."
"I just arrived in Yanjin yesterday...that means there is no regular customer at all. This person is very suspicious...call Miyamoto!"
"yes!"
…………
The sky is covered with clouds.
Today is the day of the opening ceremony of the Fujisan Iron Works. Because this factory has a Japanese military background, not only the mayor Wen Shizhen came to congratulate him in person, but also some of Yanjin's leading figures came to support it.
In order to ensure safety, a large number of armed police officers were stationed around to guard the area. The plainclothes team of the police station was hidden in the crowd, monitoring all suspicious targets.
Qin Li stood far behind the crowd as if he was passing by by chance, stretching his neck and looking forward.
Wen Shizhen was sitting behind the rostrum, talking quietly to the people around him. He would be arranged to speak during the ribbon-cutting ceremony later.
This is the best opportunity to assassinate Wen Shizhen. The shooting range is close enough. As long as your marksmanship is not terrible, it will be difficult to miss.
Once the gunshots are fired, the scene will inevitably be chaotic. With the cover of one's own people, the gunmen have a high chance of safely retreating.
Normally, there is nothing wrong with Qin Li's arrangement. The assassination operation is a 50-50 chance, and it is impossible to have an absolute chance of winning.
"Mayor Wen is now invited to speak! Everyone is welcome!" Someone on the stage took the lead in applauding.
Qin Li was shocked. He looked into the crowd and saw Wang Feng carrying a wooden box on his shoulder. In the box were cigarettes of various brands.
Wang Feng bought this thing at a high price from a hawker an hour ago, and the pistol was hidden under the cigarette.
Wen Shizhen walked to the microphone with a smile, coughed twice, and said: "Gentlemen and ladies, I am honored to be invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Fujiyama Iron Works. As we all know, since ancient times, the relationship between Japan and China has been like brothers.
…”
Wang Feng glanced at his companions, and the three of them recited five numbers silently in their hearts. Suddenly they took out their pistols at the same time, separated from the crowd and rushed over.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Gunshots rang out, and in front of and behind Wang Feng and the others, there were at least six or seven spies watching their every move.
As soon as they took out their pistols, the gendarmerie's special agent's gun fired first!
The order issued by Hattori Hikoo was that as long as Wang Feng and the others made the slightest move, they would immediately shoot and injure each other, and at the same time take action to arrest Qin Li.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The military commanders of Yanjin Station who were ambushing in the dark, according to Qin Li's pre-arranged orders, immediately threw out several smoke bombs as soon as they heard the sound of gunfire.
The screams of women and the shouts of soldiers and policemen were just as Qin Li expected. If the assassination operation was successful, everything would be perfect.
Before he could think too much, two people had already rushed over, and Qin Li ran towards the street following the people running around.
A black car stopped on the side of the road. He opened the door and got in, saying: "Quick, drive!"
The person sitting in the car, Second Lieutenant Miyamoto, pointed his pistol at Qin Li and sneered: "Where are you going?"
Qin Li was surprised. He didn't understand why the enemy could accurately find the vehicle he arranged!
After learning that Wang Feng had visited the base near Mount Fuji Iron Works, Hattori Hikoo determined Qin Li's target. The most famous big shot that day was Wen Shizhen.
The road in front of the iron factory is wide. No matter what means the military command operatives use, the most effective way to escape the scene is to take a car.
Therefore, Hattori Hikoo investigated all the vehicles that appeared near the steel plant in the past two days. Before taking action, the driver would definitely practice the evacuation route. He would be familiar with the road conditions and be aware of them.
According to past experience, these types of vehicles are stolen vehicles. As long as they are carefully screened, the target can be quickly identified.
Frightened, Wen Shizhen hurriedly left the scene under the protection of the guards. Miyamoto directed the military and police to continue searching for the fish that slipped through the net.
When Hattori Hikoo arrived, the smoke cleared and everything returned to normal.
Miyamoto came up to greet him, bowed and saluted and said: "Major!"
"How is it going?"
"One person was arrested and the other three gunmen died."
Hattori Hikoo frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you, I want to live!"
Miyamoto explained: "The three gunmen had potassium cyanide in their collars. After they were injured, they committed suicide by taking poison on the spot!"
"The man arrested was not poisoned?"
"I was in the car and ripped off his collar in time."
"Which one is he?"
"Shopkeeper Sun from the grocery store."
"Didn't anyone else get caught?"
"They used smoke bombs and the visibility was very bad at the time, so..."
"Report!" A secret agent ran over and said.
Miyamoto asked: "What's the matter?"
"The grocery store clerk is missing..."
"Gone? Can't you two keep an eye on the same person?"
"A beggar came in to ask for food. He bribed him with money. The two of them exchanged clothes and put on makeup... We were negligent..."
"Asshole!" Miyamoto raised his hand and gave the agent a slap in the face.
Hattori Hikoo waved his hand and said: "The young man didn't participate in many actions, which means he is just a gangster. I feel that Shopkeeper Sun is the main character. If you catch him, you may be able to dig out a lot!"
Qin Li paid a heavy price for his selfish thoughts. He regrets it deeply now, but everything has happened and it is hard to recover...
