Li Jie smiled helplessly: "Mr. Sun, I am confident of escaping unscathed. The defense at No. 73 Field Road is too tight. It may be difficult to go in and investigate. It is best to start with Takahashi Seiya."
Sun Zhengqing chuckled: "What are your plans?"
Li Jie calmly said two words: "Kidnapping!"
Sun Zhengqing pondered slightly: "Will this alert the Japanese? Once the Japanese notice our intentions and move the counterfeit banknote manufacturing point, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?"
Li Jie chuckled: "Takahashi Seiya has a heart problem. After the interrogation, we can fake his accidental death. High-purity atropine poisoning can cause cardiac arrest, and it will be difficult for the Japanese to detect it afterwards."
Atropine has the effect of treating myopia and is widely used in eye drops. It can be obtained through many channels and is not very difficult to purify. It is a poison that is relatively easy to obtain.
Sun Zhengqing said in surprise: "How do you know that the other party has a heart problem? Is the source of the information accurate?"
Li Jie nodded: "Last time at a banquet at the Navy Club, Takahashi Seiye had a heart attack. I am also familiar with pharmacology. The Hasmonium he carried with him is the medicine for treating heart disease."
Sun Zhengqing looked up at the map on the wall and simulated the beginning and end of the operation in his mind.
"Are you sure?"
Li Jie said with certainty: "100% sure!"
Sun Zhengqing's expression became serious when he heard this: "Comrade Hufeng, in view of the crisis of the situation, the organization has given me the right to make decisions on the spot. On behalf of the organization, I agree with your plan, but I want to emphasize one point! You will never be allowed to risk yourself again in the future!
"
Li Jie has a bit of mixed feelings about Sun Zhengqing. On the one hand, his betrayal in the original work gave Li Jie a very bad first impression of him. However, after getting to know him, he found that Sun Zhengqing is still reliable as long as Sun Zumin's affairs are not involved.
.
Calculating the time, the Xingrong Gang should have already taken action, but Sun Zumin rarely goes home on weekdays. Sun Zhengqing will not notice anything unusual in a short period of time. I don’t know what he will do when he learns the news of Sun Zumin’s murder. I hope not.
Without Sun Zumin's bomb, things would be a little different.
In the study room of Ming Mansion, the Ming brothers were discussing how to complete this mission, Mingcheng whispered.
"Brother, when I went to the special high school today, Yoko Minami was not here, and a large number of action team members disappeared. They said they were secretly sent out to perform tasks. According to my observation, there are at least two sets of action teams."
Minglou sighed and said solemnly: "This mission is not easy. There are at least fifty people in the two action teams, and this is definitely not all. The gendarmerie must also have sent people, plus us
There must be troops stationed nearby according to the previous analysis, which can be said to be watertight."
Mingcheng said: "Brother, do you want to apply for support from Shancheng? We are unable to handle the troops from the Special High School alone, let alone other troops."
Minglou pondered for a while, then shook his head and then nodded.
"Brother, what do you mean by this? Do you agree or disagree?"
"A-Cheng, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. We haven't even touched the door yet. We definitely need support, but not now. When we find out the specific location, it won't be too late for the garrison to apply for support. It's best to let the New Fourth Army team
Also get involved and let both parties work together to complete it.”
After discussing the action plan, Li Jie hired people to buy a batch of atropine eye drops from more than a dozen pharmacies across the city the next day. He spent half a day purifying the atropine. The lethal dose of atropine was about 100 mg. Li Jie finally extracted it.
A dose of about 3 grams was administered, which was thirty times the lethal dose.
The most important thing for a sculptor is a steady hand. Takahashi Seiye is already very old. In order to ensure that his skills do not deteriorate, his work and rest hours are very regular. He also has very high requirements for the quality of life, so he does not do it at night.
Living at No. 73 Field Road, he would return to the New Asia Hotel on time at 5 pm every day. After dinner, Takahashi would practice calligraphy for half an hour and fall asleep on time at 9 pm.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Takahashi Seiya, who had been on a regular schedule for a long time, knew that it was time to go to bed even without looking at his watch. When he was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, something cold was suddenly pressed against his head.
Takahashi Seiya was not a young man. He knew that he was being pointed at a gun. He slowly raised his hands to show that he did not intend to resist, and whispered.
"Sir, who are you? What do you want?"
In his eagerness, his mother tongue came out naturally. After a while, the other party had no response before he remembered that this was China, and then he spoke again in half-baked Chinese.
At this time, a stream of well-spoken Japanese came into Takahashi Seiya's ears.
"Mr. Gaucho, as long as you answer my questions truthfully, I guarantee your safety!"
Hearing this, Takahashi Seiye secretly thought that this uninvited guest must be an agent. These people are ruthless and ruthless, and human life is nothing to them. Therefore, he did not dare to delay at all and hurriedly replied: "Okay, okay
, what do you want to ask? I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything."
Li Jie lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing in Shanghai this time?"
Takahashi Seiya was startled for a moment, Li Jie pushed his head hard with the muzzle of his gun, Takahashi Seiya trembled.
"No, no, I was organizing language just now. I came to Shanghai this time at the invitation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Without waiting, Li Jie continued to ask questions, pouring out the things one by one like beans from a bamboo tube.
"As early as two years ago, the Special High School planned to forge legal currency in order to destroy China's fragile economy. I personally have some reputation in the engraving industry, so I was invited to participate in this matter.
This time, the team was led by Ashikaga Shisai, a top nobleman in the country. The master plate was painstakingly made by me. I thought everything was ready. Unexpectedly, after I came to Shanghai, I printed a batch of trial prints, whether in plate making, color or paper.
None of them are satisfactory, and this imitation plan has failed.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has decided to temporarily shelve this plan, and I will return to the country soon. I am just an insignificant role, so please let me go!"
Takahashi Seiya told everything he knew urgently and quickly. Li Jie felt happy after hearing this. The Japanese did not fully master the manufacturing process of legal currency. Li Jie thought that his arrival had caused things to go awry.
, Historically, Japan did forge a batch of legal tender, but that was only after intercepting a large number of semi-finished legal tender.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm. Otherwise, with the amount of defense power invested by the Japanese, there really would be no other solution except a forceful attack. However, the price of a forceful attack would be too great. It is very likely that both sides would not be successful if they filled up all their forces in Shencheng.
