At the Japanese Consulate, a tall and thin officer from the Special Higher Education Course hurriedly broke into the banquet hall. Everyone present turned their attention to this unexpected intruder. When Ippei Uemura saw the officer, he apologized to those around him.
, and then walked towards the subordinate.
The tall and thin officer whispered something in Uemura Ippei's ear. Uemura Ippei's expression changed drastically, and the smile disappeared as if covered with a layer of frost. Then he hurriedly left the banquet hall. Li Jie handed over Uemura Ippei's face.
With a clear look on his face, judging from the situation, the assassination team's mission should have been completed. I hope they can evacuate safely.
Minglou noticed the change in Li Jie's demeanor. He raised his wine glass and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
Li Jie stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation. The two came to the buffet table. Seeing no one around, Li Jie said, "I planned an assassination attempt on Yamahara Yuhei tonight. Judging from the situation, it should be successful."
Minglou couldn't help but gasped when he learned about the situation. During this period, the two of them had been in a state of silence. Li Jie was one of the few channels for them to understand the outside world. He had no knowledge of this assassination operation in advance.
, but he has learned how powerful Yamahara Yuhei is, not only because of the action of attacking the military unified office, but also the subsequent series of combination punches that forced the military commander to temporarily stop the assassination operation. This is the first time that the military commander has stopped the assassination since Japan occupied Shencheng.
Activity.
"Really? This is the best New Year gift I have ever received, thank you!"
Li Jie smiled slightly: "Haha, this is what I should do!"
Minglou had already become suspicious during his contact with Li Jie, but he did not tell the truth. Regardless of whether Li Jie was a comrade of the military commander or the underground party, they all now had a common identity, that is, "Chinese". Originally,
He still had the idea of introducing Li Jie into the organization, but his thoughts on this aspect have faded after being exposed to it.
At the scene of the crime, the gendarmerie has blocked all nearby streets, and all exits of the Japanese Concession are heavily guarded. Searchlights sweep over the Suzhou River from time to time, and several military boats cruise on the river. Since today is New Year's Eve, the river is blocked.
A little later, the military commander and underground party members responsible for the assassination had successfully evacuated the Japanese Concession.
When Ippei Uemura saw the body of Yamahara Yuhei, tears welled up in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Have you caught anyone?"
The member of the Special High School Course next to him replied tremblingly: "Not yet... not yet. The killer retreated very decisively. So far..."
Snap!
Uemura Ippei slapped the player in anger, and the team member was slapped to the ground. During the fall, two teeth flew out of his mouth, and his right cheek swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he did not dare
Despite the slightest complaint, Uemura Ippei's lustful eyes made him even more depressed.
Just when Shinto Ichiro didn't know how to deal with it, Kawano Yasu returned from the investigation and happened to divert Uemura Ippei's attention.
Kawano Yasu called the teacher with a slightly sad expression, and then began to report his preliminary investigation results: "There were two groups of people who assassinated Yamahara, and they used 7.62mm special sniper bullets. The sniper location has been found, and the scene is very clean.
, leaving no traces except the bullet casings, this operation must have been carefully planned in advance, and the two sniper locations happened to intersect, so even if one side misses, the other side can calmly replenish the shot."
Uemura Ippei's dark eyes shot out a cold light like ice: "Only the two of us know this location, how did the enemy know about it?"
Kawano Yasu said with a look of disbelief: "Teacher, do you doubt me?"
Ippei Uemura stared closely at Kawano Yasushi for a while, then shook his head: "No, if it were you, I believe you can do better. There must be enemy moles inside Shanghai Special High School. Yamahara often goes out alone.
I definitely can’t hide it from the other party. Alas, I have warned him a long time ago and asked him to get married as soon as possible. Alas..."
Kawano Yasu glanced at Yamahara Yuhei's body and said firmly: "No matter who it is, I will definitely find him out! I will not give up until he has tasted the most cruel punishment in the world!"
Yamahara Yuhei and Kawano Yasu can be said to be the best partners. They are brothers who live and die together. They both know their own strengths and weaknesses, and working together is beneficial. Uemura Ippei also feels the same way at this time.
Knife Knife, Yamahara Yuhei was his most proud student, and also his most capable assistant. Yamahara Yuhei's death this time was no less than causing him to break his own arm.
"Kawano, I leave this matter to you, I will make the other party pay with blood!"
The next day, the news of Yamahara Yuhei's assassination was suppressed by the Special High School and was not made public. However, most of the senior officials learned the news. The Japanese military police became uncharacteristically busy and launched a large-scale investigation in the area under their control.
Fortunately, most of the latent personnel of the red and blue parties are hidden outside the areas controlled by the Japanese, namely the public concession (British and American) and the French Concession south of the Suzhou River.
At No. 160 Molière Road, Zhuang Xiaoman came to Li Jie's residence under the banner of celebrating the New Year. In view of the Japanese's abnormal behavior, she guessed that last night's operation was successful, but she still wanted to come to Li Jie to confirm. With her
Her level was not qualified to participate in last night's banquet, so she was not clear about Uemura Ippei's behavior at yesterday's banquet. In fact, she knew very well that it was just an excuse.
Zhuang Xiaoman said with a happy face: "So last night's operation was successful?"
Li Jie nodded with a smile: "Today is the Japanese New Year. According to convention, most Japanese people should be celebrating the New Year instead of launching such a large-scale manhunt. Moreover, Uemura Ippei's face yesterday was like a Sichuan opera face change, except
I really can’t think of any other possibility for Yamahara Yuhei’s death.”
Zhuang Xiaoman clapped his hands and cheered: "Yuhei Yamahara is finally dead! It's worth celebrating. I remember Kenji Ishihara gave you a bottle of good wine last time? I opened it today to celebrate, just to make up for last night's."
Of course, Li Jie would not refuse this request. He turned to the wine cabinet and took out the wine that Kenji Ishihara sent last time. This wine was because Li Jie's "A Brief Analysis of the Strategy of the Empire's Southward Expansion" was highly praised by many neutrals.
As a die-hard supporter of the Southern Movement, Ishihara Kenji was very satisfied with the situation. In order to commend Li Jie, the hero, he specially sent a bottle of the good wine that he had collected for many years.
The two of them were drinking while talking about the recent events around them. After a few drinks, Zhuang Xiaoman's cheeks turned slightly red and he said lightly: "Xiao Tu, Xiao Gu recently came to me to inquire about your news. She learned that we
They seem to be very disappointed due to the scandal."
