The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 53 Robbery Lawyer
  Fan Gang!

A famous barrister and litigator in the concession.

This guy has a bad reputation in the concession. He specializes in defending some "robbers" and is known as: Robbery Lawyer. This guy only cares about money and does not care about right and wrong. He has no moral bottom line at all.

It doesn't matter if he makes money, it doesn't matter if he defends bad guys who commit crimes. This society can tolerate it, but if he takes refuge with the Japanese, he will become a traitor.

That cannot be tolerated.

This old guy currying favor with the Japanese, joining the fake SH Citizen Association, and trying to serve as the president of the SAR Court. This kind of person is already a disaster as a lawyer. If he is allowed to become the president of the court, the disaster will be The sea has gone.

Mr. Dai from Lixingshe Headquarters has instructed that such a person must not be allowed to sit in the position of president of the SAR Court. Although the Japanese are now powerful, the appointments of the presidents of the two SAR courts are still in the hands of the National Government. If the Japanese want to force a change President of the court, that would be gross interference in China's judicial trials. Of course, they won't interfere so much now.

The key lies in the attitudes of the Ministry of Industry and Public Affairs Bureau and the European and American countries behind them.

But Cheng Mo felt that the Ministry of Industry and Public Affairs Bureau would not allow such a person to take office. They themselves were not stupid. If either of the two special courts allowed a person like Fan Gang to take office, their own interests would be at stake. will be damaged.

Although they were not happy that the Chinese had taken back the power of judicial trial, the people appointed by the National Government were much better at this position than those who were pro-Japanese.

Unless there is really no other way, we can only compromise. Under the current situation, even if the Japanese army has occupied Nanjing, it is impossible.

But people like Fan Gang must not be allowed to gain power.

Assassination may not be the best way, but it is the most direct way.

When dealing with traitors, we must not be merciful. We should kill them when they should be killed, and we should kill them when we can. We would rather kill one by mistake than let one go.

It can also deter those lawyers in the concession who are ready to do anything for the tiger. (PS: The first target group of the military commander’s anti-rape mission in the concession was lawyers. You can imagine how hated this group was at the time)

Therefore, among the three people on the assassination list, Cheng Mo's first target was Fan Gang.

"Team leader, this Fan Gang is not an ordinary person. He has quite a wide network of contacts in the public concession and the French Concession, especially in the patrol room. Most of the cases he takes are related to criminal cases such as robbers, thieves and murders, and He has an excellent relationship with Lu Liankui..."

"Is that the Inspector General of the Public Concession, Lu Liankui, who is known as the fourth tycoon after the three tycoons?" After hearing Shen Mo's introduction, Cheng Mo was slightly surprised.

"Yes."

"But Lu Liankui is no longer what he was before, but this person must have colluded with Fan Gang. Fan Gang is the defense lawyer in many cases handled by Lu Liankui. If there is no interest relationship, no one will believe it. .”

Cheng Mo nodded. In criminal cases, if you don't collude with the police, you won't be able to get representation for the case. Even if the client asks for it, how can you defend yourself in court if the police office doesn't cooperate, doesn't give you files, and doesn't let you know the facts of the case? ?

There are a few lawyers who have a bad relationship with the police officers and can survive in the concession, but even Western lawyers can't do it.

"Fan Gang defends people. He never cares about the life or death of the client. He only collects money, and he does things only after receiving money. He is very overbearing. Even if the client refuses to pay, it is not enough. This guy is well versed in all religions and is considered the number one figure in the Shanghai Bund Concession."

To put it simply, this person is not easy to kill.

In fact, none of the three people on the list given by the Shanghai Special Administrative Region were easy to kill. They were all hard-core. They were clearly trying to embarrass the "Secret Fire" team, laugh at them, and let them retreat.

No one can see Zhou Weilong's little thoughts.

"Since this guy is a black-and-white person, if you want to kill him, you can't leak any information." Cheng Mo nodded, "We have to find a breakthrough and start with the people around him."

"Fan Gang has a son named Fan Cheng, who graduated from Soochow University Law School. He goes to the teahouse every day and takes cases in the teahouse. Some people jokingly call him the 'teahouse lawyer'. The father and son specialize in defending robbers. In the legal world You could say it’s notorious.”

"If you have any ideas, just say it."

"We can kidnap his son first, extort a sum of money, and then find an opportunity to kill Fan Gang." Shen Mo suggested.

"This not only completes the task, but also solves our funding problem, right?" Cheng Mo saw through Shen Mo's thoughts. The military commander's actions in Shanghai were threefold: kidnapping, assassination, and sinking into the Huangpu River. He personally likes to sink into the Huangpu River without staining his blood.

"Team leader, we are short of money now, this is the best way."

"If we kill Fan Gang, we can still get a very generous bounty. Why take such risks, kidnapping, taking ransom, and then killing people? If there is any flaw in any of these links, we will be in trouble." Cheng Mo said, "Third brother, we must be cautious in all our activities now. We must not leave any clues for our opponents to find us. This is the principle that we can lurk in the concession for as long as possible!"

"Team leader, you still have far-reaching thoughts."

"We don't just do one job and leave. We have to consider more difficult tasks in the future. We must act cautiously. Don't mention the kidnapping again, but third brother, you reminded me. We can't really kidnap, but we can come. Fake." Cheng Mo said.

"What does the team leader mean?"

"Fan Gang just has a son like this. He must be very precious. What do you think he will do immediately after learning that Fan Cheng has been kidnapped?"

"Call the police..."

"No, calling the police will only make my son die quickly. After all, he has been a robber lawyer for so many years and has tricked countless people. We can find the person who has been tricked the most by him, and in his name, let Fan Cheng temporarily If we cut off contact with him, we will make a time difference." Cheng Mo said.

"You mean to lure Fan Gang out, kill him, and then put the blame on this man."

"Yes." Cheng Mo nodded.

"It's not easy to choose this person, team leader. Fan Gang has deceived so many people. Many people hate him, but they can't do anything about him because he is alert and cautious by nature. He won't participate in most people's dinner invitations. .”

"This person needs to be a loner, preferably someone who has just been released from prison and is ruthless." Cheng Mo added.

"I'll look for it, but team leader, you're in the patrol room and have more information than me, so it should be easier."

"I am in the political unit and have been exposed to very few criminal cases. Moreover, I have just entered and inquired about these at will, so I can easily be suspected." Cheng Mo said, "Of course, if there is an opportunity, I will naturally seize it."

"Team leader, the district only gave us a month. Now half a month has passed and we have just made our first assassination plan. What should we do with the two remaining targets?"

"This Lu Hong is a famous industrialist in Shanghai, a Catholic, and a former concessionaire. He is a well-known philanthropist and educator. Why did Shangfeng issue an order to assassinate him?" Cheng Mo was a little confused.

"He secretly contacted the Japanese, joined the pseudo-SH Citizen Association, and became a traitor. Shouldn't he be killed?" Shen Mo asked rhetorically.

"But I heard that he came into contact with the Japanese army for the millions of homeless people in Zhabei, so he had no choice but to join the citizens' association."

"Whether he had no choice but to do so, we can't judge, but this is an order from the top. Even if we don't do it, other action groups will take over the task. What's more, given his identity and status, he did this The impact is too great. If sanctions are not imposed and others follow suit, what will happen?"

Shen Mo's reasons could not be refuted.

Once you take that step, no matter what your purpose is, there is no way to turn back, even if the starting point is good.

But he forgot that he was not an ordinary person. The destructive power brought by his betrayal was so huge. Some people who are not determined will see that even you, Lu Hong, have betrayed and surrendered. Then I am not as good as you. What's the point? insistent?
  Saving the country through twists and turns will not save the country. It can only be self-deception and wishful thinking.

Then I can only ask my husband to die, and let future generations comment on his merits and demerits.

Lu Hong was not an ordinary person, and killing him would bring even greater risks. In addition to the reaction from the concession, there would also be revenge from the Japanese.

A more rigorous plan needs to be made.

　I beg you to collect it and read it!
