Brian's shoe store is a hidden danger that may reveal his identity to Tang Cheng, so no matter whether Brian's answer is in line with Tang Cheng's intentions, he will shoot to get rid of this hidden danger. The reason why Tang Cheng has always been here
It takes time to wait for it to get completely dark, because leaving here after dark can effectively reduce the possibility of being discovered. Moreover, Brian has already seen the appearance of Tangcheng. No matter what, Tangcheng will not let Brian go.
.
As for whether the British would go crazy after learning that Brian was missing, that didn't matter what happened to Tang Cheng. After waiting for Brian to lose his breath after being shot several times, Tang Cheng used sheets and blankets to cover the cloth.
Ryan's body was wrapped and then carefully rummaged through Brian's residence. Home invasion, robbery and murder were a good cover method, but Brian was the head of the British intelligence agency in Shanghai, how could he die during a home invasion?
In the hands of bandits?
It was precisely because of this that Tang Cheng revised the plan he had thought up before. He planned to give Brian a mysterious disappearance. It was dark at night, and Tang Cheng, who opened the triple eyepiece, carefully searched Brian's residence.
Apart from finding two pistols and some bullets, there was nothing else that could be noticed by Tang Cheng. In the early hours of the morning, Tang Cheng activated his light body skills and quietly rappelled down to the back alley from the back window of Brian's residence.
With the help of the cover of night, Tang Cheng didn't waste much time in taking a fancy to a car in the concession. The war outside Shanghai was intensifying, but in the Shanghai concession it was still a scene of lively singing and dancing. The car that Tang Cheng was eyeing was...
Parked outside a dance hall. While Tang Cheng was hiding on the street and secretly looking at the car, the lights were brightly lit in the conference room of the Shanghai Extra High School Headquarters, and more than ten senior figures from Shanghai Extra High School were talking.
An emergency meeting is held here.
"In the past half month or so, our action teams in the concession have been attacked one after another, resulting in heavy casualties. Based on the on-site inspection results afterwards, we have reason to suspect that the same group of people should have attacked these action teams," the meeting said.
The middle-aged man talking in the room at the moment is a trace expert from the Shanghai Special High School Course. Unlike the other trace experts in the Special High School Course who like to build relationships and cultivate relationships, this trace expert named Ikeda Shinichi is just obsessed with trace investigation.
He is a recognized master of trace investigation in Shanghai Special Higher Education Course.
Next to Shinichi Ikeda, there was a large blackboard. Along with Shinichi Ikeda's narration, some photos of the on-site survey results were posted on the blackboard one by one by Shinichi Ikeda's assistant. "Everyone, please look at the above.
Three photos!" Shinichi Ikeda raised the baton in his hand and clicked on the three photos at the top of the blackboard. The three photos pointed by the baton in Shinichi Ikeda's hand were all bullet casings of different calibers, and the participants did not know what they were.
Yi, all looked at Ikeda Shinichi.
"The bullets look the same, and the pistols of the same model also look the same, but after the bullet is fired, the marks left on the bullet casing are different. These are several bullet casings of different calibers.
Based on the results of comparing the bullet casings found at the sites of these attacks, we are now 100% sure that these bullet casings of different calibers all come from the same weapon. In other words, the people who attacked the action team in the concession,
Definitely the same group of people."
Shinichi Ikeda's ability to survey the scene is definitely among the best in Shanghai's special higher education courses, so no one in the meeting was skeptical about what he said. Seeing that no one in the conference room raised objections, he looked around
Shinichi Ikeda, who was in the crowd, continued, "The photos on the left are photos of the scene on the top floor of the New Asia Hotel. The results of the on-site investigation showed that the attackers used a total of three to four attack weapons, including a 9mm caliber pistol.
9mm submachine guns, shotguns, wooden handle grenades and explosives."
"The photo on the right side of the blackboard is the scene of the attack in the French Concession that night. We found a large number of 9mm bullet casings at the scene. According to comparison, they are basically the same as the 9mm bullet casings found at the New Asia Hotel. The photo below the blackboard is
Comparing the traces at the attack site of Takagi Team, it is a pity that we only found some Mauser pistol bullet casings at the scene. We did not find the same Mauser pistol bullet casings at the Xinya Hotel and the French Concession attack site."
Shinichi Ikeda's words disappointed everyone in the conference room who originally thought they had made a major discovery, but they did not expect that Shinichi Ikeda had not finished his words. "No direct connection was found at the attack site of Team Takagi, but we did not give up just yet.
After the attack in the French Concession that night, there was a brief exchange of fire across the street from the first exchange of fire. After careful investigation, our people finally found two bullet casings. After comparison, the marks left on the bullet casings were found.
, and the Mauser pistol cartridge casings found at the scene by Takagi's team,
The traces are consistent.”
Shinichi Ikeda's words completely silenced the conference room. Anyone who could participate in this meeting had no brains. After seeing the comparison photos on the blackboard and listening to Shinichi Ikeda's comparative analysis just now, everyone in the meeting had already thought about it.
We have made a preliminary judgment. "Based on the information we have learned so far, we judge that the people who attacked us in the concession recently should be the same group of people, and the number is tentatively estimated to be three to five people." Ikeda Shinichi finally said
He made his own inference, but he did not know that his judgment was wrong and even misled other people attending the meeting.
In Shinichi Ikeda's understanding, the plainclothes field officers of the Special High School are well-trained, especially the plainclothes teams assigned to the concession. It is absolutely impossible for one person to attack alone. Although the Takagi team was the only one to survive the attack.
The captain Takagi Haruko who came down repeatedly emphasized that there was only one attacker, but Shinichi Ikeda, who had surveyed the scene, stubbornly believed that the attacker seemed to be only one person, but there should be the attacker's companions near the firefight site to provide cover.
In the final analysis, Shinichi Ikeda is just a technician who is obsessed with trace investigation. Although he is conceited, he knows very little about things other than trace investigation. However, everyone attending the meeting frequently nodded in approval of Shinichi Ikeda's inference of the case.
.Because according to Shinichi Ikeda’s analysis and inference just now, there is indeed an inherent connection between these attacks. “I basically agree with Mr. Ikeda. Now it seems that the news from Wuhan is true. The military commander
The headquarters did send elites to Shanghai to carry out retaliatory actions against us."
"I also agree. It seems that what happened at the New Asia Hotel is just the beginning. In the coming time, our action teams deployed in the concession may be attacked continuously. But there is one thing that is strange.
How did the attackers in the dark find our action teams? Looking back carefully at these attacks, it seems that the attackers appeared unexpectedly. They often appeared when we were not expecting them and then launched a sudden attack."
People spoke one after another in the conference room, but the central idea of the speech always revolved around Ikeda Shinichi's previous judgment. Takagi Haruko, who was temporarily deprived of the qualification to lead the team, was also in this conference room. After all, she was sent to Shanghai from her hometown.
After quietly looking around at everyone, Takagi Haruko coughed lightly, and then spoke
"I don't quite agree with Senior Ikeda's judgment. Although the traces of the bullet casings left at the scene are the same, it doesn't mean that the attackers are the same group of people!"
Takagi Haruko's words were shocking. When everyone looked at her, Takagi Haruko did not appear panicked. Instead, she increased her voice and continued speaking. "The bullet shells with the same traces can only prove that in these attacks, the attackers
The same weapons were used, but this does not mean that the attackers are the same group." There was a pause in Takagi Haruko's words. When she secretly paid attention to the changes in everyone's expressions, she found that someone was nodding in agreement.
"What Captain Takagi said makes sense. The bullet casings found at the scene can only show that the attackers used the same batch of weapons." The person who spoke at this moment nodded and chuckled at Takagi Haruko. The latter understood in his heart that this person was just like him.
, also has great background support in the local area. "So I am wondering if there is such a possibility that there are many attackers, but they have very few weapons hidden in the concession, so these weapons frequently appear in our
In sight."
This person's speech made Takagi Haruko's eyes light up. The other party's speech sounded full of flaws, but her words reminded Takagi Haruko. "Yamamoto-senpai's words inspired me a lot. Let's not talk about whether the attackers are short of weapons. There is one thing.
, they cannot avoid it in the concession, and that is the supply of ammunition. According to Senior Ikeda’s judgment in these attacks, the weapons used by the attackers are basically the same, and their ammunition consumption will also be very large, so compensation is a problem. "
More than two years have passed since the end of the Battle of Shanghai. Although the Japanese army still cannot fully control Shanghai, its control over the Shanghai black market is growing day by day. If those attackers have been hiding in the concession, they will be looking for them in the huge crowds.
It will be difficult to get them out, but if the attackers need to replenish their ammunition, they will only go to the black market, and the black market happens to be a place that the Special High School has always tightly controlled.
Takagi Haruko thought she had found a shortcut and a breakthrough to find the attacker, but she did not know that it was precisely because of her judgment that Shanghai Special High School completely lost the chance to find the real answer. Because the instigator was
Tangcheng will not go to the Shanghai black market to compensate for ammunition, and the weapons and ammunition that Hans provided to Tangcheng were all hoarded in the concession a few years ago. Neither the special high school nor the concession gangs have them.
