"The origin of the other party has not been found yet." Li Hao said, "This batch of weapons appeared very suddenly, and the types of weapons are very mixed."
As he said this, Li Hao frowned and thought for a moment, "It's like getting some hammers and sticks from an arms warehouse."
After hearing what Li Hao said, Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly.
"Did those people release more guns or more ammunition?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
“One batch had more guns but less ammunition, and one batch had more ammunition and less guns.” Li Hao said, “And according to the information obtained, their guns were not well maintained, but they were cheaper, so they shipped them.
soon."
"Is it not well maintained?" Cheng Qianfan moved the joints of his wrist and asked.
"Yes." Li Hao said, "Some guns even have traces of rust, but they are not obvious and do not affect their use."
Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Continue to investigate this matter, but be careful not to attract the other party's attention."
"Understood." Li Hao nodded.
…
No. 25, Lane 668, Yuyuan Road.
Residence of Chen Zhuan, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Reform Government.
At the entrance of the mansion, four bodyguards wearing raincoats were on duty.
The wind was strong, the rain was heavy, and the weather was cold. Several people were so cold that they walked around the door and stamped their feet from time to time.
Zhang Guoqing breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the cigarette case, took a cigarette, and handed it to his companion.
The latter took the cigarette, hunched over, and tried to block the wind. However, he lit two matches without lighting the cigarette.
"The wind is too strong,"
Zhang Guoqing simply handed over the cigarette butt in his mouth to his companions to fire it.
The companion lit the cigarette butt and returned it. Zhang Guoqing quickly took two puffs, causing sparks to appear. Then he quickly lit another cigarette and breathed a sigh of relief.
…
"What a damn weather." Zhang Guoqing took a puff of his cigarette and couldn't help shaking his head, "It rained heavily on New Year's Day, with strong winds and heavy rain. This is not a good sign."
"Isn't that right?" The companion took two puffs of cigarette, then stamped his feet and rubbed his hands because of the cold. Then he thought of something and said quickly, "On the first day of the new year, don't talk nonsense, it's unlucky."
"The officials enjoy the hot and spicy food, but we Qiuba can only endure hunger." Zhang Guoqing couldn't help complaining.
"It's still He Shutan, drinking a little wine and eating good meat." His companion said enviously.
Lao He is the head guard of Chen Zhuan's residence. He was originally a regiment commander of the Northeast Army. After the young marshal went abroad to study abroad, Lao He also returned home and was invited to join the Chen family as the head guard.
"I'll watch it for you. You go and have a few bites." Zhang Guoqing glanced at the heavy rain and said.
Chen Zhuan and his son did not treat these bodyguards badly. They knew very well that traitors like them must be on Chongqing's kill list. If they want to survive, they must first buy the loyalty of the bodyguards.
In addition to having a separate banquet for the guard leader Lao He and several of Lao He's cronies, he even invited a dancer from the big world that Lao He had always coveted to accompany him.
In addition, another table was opened to entertain other bodyguards.
…
"How embarrassing."
"Let's go, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year. Let's eat and drink well, it's worthy of our belly."
"Okay, I'll be back in a minute."
"Drink a few more drinks for me." Zhang Guoqing laughed loudly, and then pointed to his stomach, "I feel uncomfortable in my stomach. I can't drink today. I just can't see it and don't want to eat it."
"You, you, you are unlucky to have stomach problems during the Chinese New Year." The companion shook his head and clasped his fists, "Brother Zhang, thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Zhang Guoqing said with a smile, and then he glanced at the other two guards on the right side of the door, "Brother Pan, don't look at me. You are going to drink, so take turns with Brother Qi."
"Thank you." Brother Pan shook his head, "It's a matter of being loyal to the emperor and eating the emperor's salary. I don't dare to leave my job at the risk of leaving my job."
Zhang Guoqing pointed at Brother Pan, shook his head with a smile, and said nothing more.
This Brother Pan is such a stubborn and sincere character, but fortunately, this person only requires himself to be old-fashioned and does not force others to be like him. Therefore, everyone does not reject Brother Pan, but rather likes him in the team.
There is such a hard-working old scalper.
Zhang Guoqing glanced at 'Brother Qi' and shook his head with a smile, meaning that Lao Pan had this kind of character and there was nothing he could do about it.
He lit a cigarette, took two long puffs, stared at the rainstorm in a daze for a while, then took out his pocket watch and checked the time.
Zhang Guoqing was a little disappointed. He only successfully mobilized one guard and two others.
Among them, Lao Pan is a person with very accurate marksmanship. Having such a "competent and responsible" guard here is always a bit troublesome.
There is less than a quarter of an hour left before the action is expected to begin.
Zhang Guoqing was inevitably a little anxious.
…
At this moment, car lights came towards them. The three of them looked over from a distance and saw three cars driving through the heavy rain towards the entrance of the mansion.
"It's Mr. Cheng's motorcade." Brother Qi looked at it and said.
Zhang Guoqing was also shocked:
What is that "Mr. Xiao Cheng" from the French Concession doing in Chen Mansion?
Just as the operation to assassinate Chen Zhuan was about to begin, Cheng Qianfan suddenly arrived.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at Mr. Cheng's fleet is a headache. Mr. Cheng, who is known to be greedy for life and afraid of death, attaches great importance to his own life safety. It can be imagined that the other two cars
There were Cheng Qianfan's men and bodyguards everywhere.
This is an emergency situation.
The cars stopped at the entrance of Chen's mansion.
The people in the two cars in front and behind quickly got out of the car and held up their umbrellas in a flash.
The door of the car in the middle opened. Mr. Cheng, wearing a suit and leather shoes, bent down and got out of the car.
"Vice President Cheng." Zhang Guoqing threw the cigarette butt on the ground and rushed forward.
"Is Minister Chen back?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"I'll be back in the afternoon." Zhang Guoqing said with a smile, then he glanced at the three cars on the roadside at the door, and finally said, "Mr. Cheng, do you want your car..."
At this moment, the sound of fists was heard in the mansion, and Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but glance at it.
"It's Captain He." Zhang Guoqing said with a smile, "Minister Chen is considerate of everyone, why don't you let all the brothers come in and have a glass of wine to warm up."
Cheng Qianfan nodded, showing admiration, "Minister Chen is indeed heroic."
Saying that, 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' waved his hand, "Haozi, you guys drive to Peng Xilou to eat and drink."
Cheng Qianfan raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, "You will pick me up again in about three quarters of an hour."
Seeing Li Hao's hesitant expression, Cheng Qianfan knew that Haozi was worried about his safety, so he smiled and said, "This is the Chen Mansion, and no one dares to disturb it."
"Officer Li, don't worry, we are here." Zhang Guoqing said with a smile.
Li Hao glanced at Cheng Qianfan again, then nodded, took many brothers back to the car, and drove away temporarily.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Zhang Guoqing with interest, then smiled slightly and strode into Chen's mansion.
He walked slowly on purpose. When he turned a corner, he turned around casually and saw that the guard just took out his pocket watch and was looking at the time on it.
Cheng Qianfan immediately became more vigilant.
…
The first thing that came to mind of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' was that Chen Zhuan might want to attack him.
However, Cheng Qianfan soon ruled out this answer himself.
Because there is no need, no motivation, and no ability.
There is no motive, which means that he has no interest entanglement with the Chen family and his son, or that it is not to the point of committing harm.
Inability means that both Chen Zhuan and Chen Wentao know very well that they do not have the ability to withstand the consequences of assassinating the deputy chief inspector of the patrol room in the Central District of the French Concession.
After ruling out the possibility that the Chen family would take action against him, Cheng Qianfan did not secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Because obviously, there is something wrong with the guard at the door.
This person suggested that 'Mr. Xiao Cheng's' motorcade was blocking the road and asked the car to move.
There is nothing wrong with this suggestion per se.
However, it was a bit too hasty, as if he was afraid that Cheng Qianfan's motorcade would block the door.
However, in fact, the fleet generally does not block the door like this. This is disrespectful to the owner, and there is no need to remind them. The car will definitely be moved after a while.
Therefore, it is unreasonable for a guard of Chen Zhuan's residence to take the initiative and raise this issue so urgently.
In Cheng Qianfan's opinion, the purpose of this person's request to move the car was to invite Li Hao and the others to the house for a drink.
Cheng Qianfan came to pay New Year's greetings to Chen Zhuan. How could he let his subordinates also come to eat and drink? They didn't do this on the first day of the new year.
Therefore, this person mentioned the sound of punching because Chen Zhuan was considerate of his subordinates, so he entertained him with a banquet. This was also a reminder to "Mr. Xiao Cheng" who always values "loyalty" and "treats his subordinates well":
It's so cold, shouldn't you find a place to get some food and drinks for your men, and have them while you wait?
Among all these speculations, what really made Cheng Qianfan suspicious was that this man was looking at his watch again.
Cheng Qianfan's car arrived just now. He looked at the foyer of Chen Zhuan's residence and saw the man taking out his pocket watch to check the time.
What are you waiting for?
What is a guard waiting for if he is not on duty honestly?
Since there is a high probability that the guest is not here for himself, it is also unlikely that Expert Chen set up the Hongmen Banquet for a certain distinguished guest in the future.
Then, the possibility that it was Chen Zhuan and his son who decided to do something was very small.
If this is the case, it’s not what Chen Zhuan and his son are going to do. Then, on the contrary, what is someone going to do to Chen Zhuan and his son?
Or to be more precise, looking at the greater probability, someone is coming for Chen Zhuan, a big traitor?
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved.
…
Guest study room.
"Vice President Cheng, you've been waiting for a long time. I just hung up an important phone call. When I learned that you were here, I quickly asked me to come and tell you. He will come right away." The housekeeper said politely.
"Minister Chen has to deal with all kinds of things for the people, and it's really hard." Cheng Qianfan said with emotion, then took a sip of tea and looked at the layout of the living room calmly.
"Where can I take care of everything?" came a cheerful voice.
Cheng Qianfan turned around and saw Chen Zhuan walking in a crisp suit. He quickly stood up.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I just took a call from an old friend." Chen Zhuo shook his head and sighed, "I have been busy for a year, and I have a half-day to catch up with my old friend."
"Minister Chen works hard for the people, so he only has some leisure time during the Chinese New Year." Cheng Qianfan said with a respectful expression, and then smiled, "You still have to be harassed by a boy like me."
"I wish you would come to my door every day to disturb me." Chen Zhuan laughed and said.
"You must obey the elder's order." Cheng Qianfan looked serious, then the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
…
"Captain, the rain is getting heavier and heavier." A Yuan glanced at the rain outside the window and said to Lu Xinge.
Lu Xinge raised his wrist and looked at the time.
Then he looked around at his men with a solemn expression, "Get ready for action."
Following Lu Xingge's order, everyone put on their raincoats, stood up from the bar, and rushed straight to Expert Chen's door.
The action officially begins!
At this time, there was only one bodyguard with a gun on duty at the gate of the Chen family.
This person is none other than ‘Brother Qi’.
He saw a group of eight people on the other side approaching in a menacing manner, and they were not malicious.
Everyone was in a panic. They didn't immediately call for help or fire a warning shot, but looked around.
When he came to his senses and reached for the gun with his right hand, the muzzles of several guns were pointed at his head.
Liu Haishan walked up quickly, subdued the man, blocked his mouth with a rag, and then fired the guard's short rifle.
Holding the short gun in his hand, Liu Haishan's heart doubled with courage. He looked at Lu Xingge and said, "Brother Lu, you stay outside, I'll go in..."
"Brother Liu, execute the original order." Lu Xingge said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
Lu Xingge gave the order, and everyone immediately followed the pre-planned plan. Liu Haishan and Xu Zhihao stood guard at the door, pretending to be guards, responsible for keeping watch and observing.
Ping Luchangze and Zhu Sanwan dragged the bound and gagged bodyguard into the courtyard, controlled him, and then observed and monitored.
Lu Xingge led A Yuan, A Yi and Youpinshan straight to the kitchen.
The reason why we rushed to the kitchen was because there were so many people in the kitchen and accidents could easily happen if we didn't control ourselves.
Also, entering the living room through the kitchen will not attract attention in the living room.
At this time, in the kitchen, the servants of the Chen family were busy preparing a sumptuous dinner for the New Year's Day.
Then, everyone saw a number of men wearing raincoats and holding short guns suddenly burst in.
"Don't shout."
"Whoever makes a sound or moves will be beaten to death."
"Put down the kitchen knife! Put down the things in your hands." Lu Xingge said in a deep voice, "Everyone raise their hands."
Everyone was stunned. They obediently put down their kitchen knives, pots and ladles, and raised their hands.
There was a shorter man who climbed onto a stool to avoid being seen by the bad guys with his hands raised.
…
When Lu Xingge saw this, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Anyone who moves will be beaten to death directly," Lu Xinge said again.
Everyone did not dare to speak and could only shake their heads.
Lu Xingge signaled to A Yi that Youpinshan would stay and monitor the people in the kitchen, while he led A Yuan and continued to rush towards the living room with a short gun in both hands.
