The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 218 The Death of the Young Man

"Boss, have you read today's newspaper?"

The next morning when he went to work, as soon as Cheng Mo walked in, Xu Qinghe came in right behind him, with a whooshing sound that startled him.

"I just arrived and I haven't had time yet." Cheng Mo asked, "What, what happened?"

"Tang Shaochuan was assassinated yesterday afternoon. He died on the spot and was sent directly to the funeral home." Xu Qinghe said, "It is said that the scene was horrific and he was hacked to death."

"Ah?" Cheng Mo was surprised. Tang Shaochuan was killed. This was what was going to happen. He knew very well that he had no intention of stopping it.

Although people like Tang have been prime ministers, their bad nature as a scholar is hard to change. He is aloof, has a good reputation, and looks down on the people at the bottom. He is also conceited and cannot see the situation clearly.

Of course, this person always has the limitations of the times. He cannot see the future clearly. It is natural that most people cannot see the future clearly.

But since you can't see clearly, you have to choose carefully, but...

His death was not unjust. Look at Lao Wu. Although he was conceited and submissive during the period, his stance was always firm. Although he died in the end, he left a famous name for a lifetime, and future generations will also benefit from it.

At this point, Doihara's "Southern Tang and Northern Wu" plan was completely bankrupt. It was probably at this time that they started to pay attention to Mr. "Wang".

People like him who are greedy for prosperity and afraid of death will be used sooner or later. Death is not a bad thing.

"Let it go, will the Japanese cause trouble?" Lin Huarong hesitated and asked.

Also, to find a traitorous son-in-law without knowing someone is really bad luck for eight lifetimes. All this was brought on by oneself and there is no one to blame.

Xu Qinghe chuckled, knowing that Cheng Mo wanted to torture these boys again. This team was Cheng Mo's team, so it was natural that he valued them.

"I'm going to a training class with me this afternoon. I have to give these people a good lesson."

"clear."

"Well, things are going crazy over at the law enforcement room. Now the streets are full of Annan patrols, and the checkpoint inspections have to be strict again."

Even after death, it will be recorded in history, a big stain that cannot be washed away.

"What kind of trouble are you looking for? This is a general violation of the law. We have arrested people, locked them up, and educated them. Is it possible that we should put people in jail or shoot them?" A few students with hairless hair shouted Can Japan be brought to peace with just a few words?" Cheng Mo said, "By the way, remember to ask your family to provide money for bail. The rules cannot be broken."

"Shall I urge you?"

One drink and one peck, the connection between them is really hard to explain. History is like this. You can't see clearly when you are in the game. Once you jump out, everything has a context to follow.

"Boss, we caught a few students spreading anti-Japanese leaflets. How do you think they should be dealt with?"

"This case was investigated by the police department, right? It has nothing to do with us." Cheng Mo asked.

"Educate him, lock him up for a few days, and then let him go."

"Well, just do our thing well. Have you applied for this monthly fee?" Cheng Mo asked, "The secret service team is still waiting to use it."

Old Tang, you are almost 80 years old and should have taken care of yourself long ago. Why bother wading in muddy waters and end up committing suicide?

"Yes." Lin Huarong responded. The key point was to use money to bail. Where did the small treasury of political stocks come from? That's how it came about.

This guy is not claiming to be aloof or aloof from the world, he understands.

"Meeting, okay, I'll be there soon." The political department had a meeting.

Cheng Mo, as a middle-level and high-level person, naturally has to participate, not to mention that he is now in charge of the specific affairs of the political unit of Laozha Fang, so he is a proper official.

The sudden meeting was naturally related to the assassination of Tang Shaochuan. There were also many influential and has-been figures living in the public concession.

This assassination was obviously related to the military terrorists lurking in the concession, and only the military commanders dared to do this.

Other anti-Japanese organizations are at most propaganda and agitation and do not directly confront the authorities. Even if you arrest them, you cannot give them a heavy sentence.

Killing people directly is very rare.

And now only the military command has such an operational capability in the Gudao Concession, and no other organization has such capability.

After the meeting, Cheng Mo was left behind.

Naturally, it is a matter of communication with the military commander.

Because of this, Cheng Mo also learned more details about Tang Shaochuan's murder from Tony Kaiziwei, Pride and others.

It's roughly the same as what he read in history. He sneaked in under the pretext of "appreciating antiques" and then hacked the person to death with a poisonous axe. He then left calmly until some time later. It was discovered that Tang Shaochuan had been killed, and the disguised military killer had long disappeared.

In this case, the police could not arrest anyone at all. Even if there were many clues left at the scene, such as broken antiques, footprints, etc., it was of no use.

The other party even wiped off his fingerprints calmly without leaving any traces behind.

The identity of the so-called antique dealer is also false.

The assassination case in the concession could not be arrested on the spot. Even if the case was solved afterwards, it would be very difficult to arrest anyone.

This is not the world of later generations where cameras are everywhere, so solving a case like a premeditated assassination involves a certain amount of luck.

Therefore, the British took the initiative to reach a tacit understanding with the military commander. If the military commander caused chaos in the public concession, they would be under great pressure.

"Please Mr. Dai, the man behind the Blue Clothes Club, please restrain his subordinates and not make such a big noise in the concession. Otherwise, you will tear up the previous tacit understanding and attack the Blue Clothes Club." Tony Kai Ziwei Give orders to Cheng Mo.

"Yes, Mr. Tony, I will definitely bring your words to the other party." Cheng Mo also knew that the two sides had different positions. Dai Yunong would not give up on continuing his assassination and rape activities in Shanghai, and would even intensify his efforts. , to deter those weak elements who might fall to the Japanese.

But if this happens, the tacit understanding between the military commander and the British will be broken. Will the British allow themselves to attack the military commander?
Unless they want to completely break up with the military commander, they should not let him do this. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to closing this dialogue channel with their own hands.

Some insignificant people were killed, and it was over by turning a blind eye. It was just a little pressure from the Japanese, but as long as they were not Japanese, the concessions could push back.

But if someone like Tang Shaochuan, who had served as a senior government official and had considerable influence, was killed, then the concession could not let it go and let it go.

However, after Tang Shaochuan was killed, the Japanese attitude was rather ambiguous and they did not immediately issue condemnation or other statements.

This should be done out of self-interest.

Put the pressure on Wuhan.

Tang Shaochuan did not defect to Japan. You just assassinated your former high-ranking government officials for no reason. This is an indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

This will naturally make some people sad and arouse their disgust and opposition to the old man. I have to say that this move of the Japanese is quite clever.
