At five o'clock in the morning, a worker who was sweeping the streets found four bodies lying in a pool of blood when he was sweeping near Li Chengzong's house. He was frightened to death and it took him a long time to recover. He then hurriedly reported the matter to the police station.

The police arrived at the scene and found after investigation that all four bodies had a tortoise-oar on them. They estimated that the dead were all Japanese, so they immediately reported to the police chief Zhou Sen. When Zhou Sen heard that the dead were all Japanese, he realized that this was not an ordinary case and that he could not handle it himself. This case needed to be handled by the Japanese themselves, so he had to report to the Special High Section and ask them to send someone to the scene.

At around six o'clock, a shrill phone call rang out on the desk in Takemiya Yoshio's office. Takemiya Yoshio was in the bedroom inside the office at this time and had not yet gotten up. He frowned, feeling a little puzzled. Who would call so early?

He got up and walked quickly out of the bedroom, went to the office, and answered the phone. The call was from the duty officer in the duty room.

"Section Chief, the police station just called and said that four bodies were found on Qianwan Street. They suspect that they are ours. We are asked to send someone to the scene immediately."

When Takemiya Yoshio heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale.

He immediately understood what was going on. Li Chengzong's home was on Qianwan Street, and the Special High Police had sent four people to monitor him. It seemed that something must have happened to these four people. No one knew what had happened to Li Chengzong, and he probably ran away.

How come four agents couldn't deal with Li Chengzong? Or did Li Chengzong have an accomplice to back him up? In that case, was Li Chengzong really an insider planted by the Military Control Commission in the city government?

Takemiya Yoshio secretly cursed himself for being careless. Why didn't he arrest Li Chengzong earlier?

These are all my guesses now. I have to send someone to the scene immediately, especially to Li Chengzong's house to see what is going on.

He immediately said:

"Go inform Section Chief Nanyun and ask her to come to me immediately."

Ten minutes later, Masako Nagumo hurried to Takemiya Yoshio's office, but she didn't know what was going on.

She was very surprised that Section Chief Takemiya called her here so early. She had a bad feeling that something might have happened.

When Yoshio Takemiya told the police station that four bodies had been found on Qianwan Street, Masako Nagumo was still surprised, but she immediately understood what had happened.

Yesterday afternoon, Takemiya Yoshio asked her to take over the surveillance of Li Chengzong. In the evening, the person who was monitoring her called her and said that everything was normal, but something went wrong in the end.

All four people were killed. It seemed that they had underestimated the enemy. Masako Nanyun vaguely felt that she was facing a strong and cunning opponent as soon as she arrived.

Nanyun Masako said:

"Section Chief, I had a bad feeling before, but I didn't expect something bad would happen.

It seems that I still don’t know enough about my opponent. I must pay great attention to him in the future and never take it lightly.”

Takemiya Yoshio said with some regret:

"Ms. Masako, this is not your fault. You just arrived. I should have listened to your advice and arrested Li Chengzong. It's too late to say anything now. This Li Chengzong must have escaped."

"Section Chief, I'd better go to the scene and take a look. Also, notify the checkpoints at all exits of Hongkou to conduct strict inspections and arrange for people to search every household. I hope Li Chengzong is still in Hongkou."

Nanyun Masako said with a serious expression.

In fact, she knew in her heart that the hope was not very great, but she still had to try it, just in case the blind cat caught a dead mouse.

Takemiya Yoshio nodded and said:

"Okay, go to the scene and investigate immediately. Report the results to me immediately so I can report to the investigation team."

"Okay, Section Chief."

Masako Nagumo agreed and hurried out of the office. She called Ichiro Ozawa and Shigeru Yoshida and drove to Qianwan Street.

When they arrived at Li Chengzong's street in Qianwan Street, it was already seven o'clock, the sky was bright, and there were more pedestrians. The street in front of Li Chengzong's house had been blocked by police cordons, but there were still many people watching the excitement at both ends.

Nanyun Masako and the other two pushed through the crowd and entered the cordon, only to see two bodies lying at both ends of Li Chengzong's yard, more than 20 meters apart. Both were shot in the forehead and between the eyebrows, and died with one shot.

Masako Nanyun couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The killer's shooting skills were extremely accurate and his moves were clean and neat. The four men didn't even have time to react, and they didn't even have time to draw their guns before they died.

Ichiro Ozawa and Shigeru Yoshida were also frightened after seeing this and couldn't help but gasp.

There was a bullet casing scattered in front of each of the four people. Masako Nagumo picked it up and looked at it carefully. She recognized that it was a bullet from a large-caliber Browning pistol. The killer was most likely a Military Intelligence Bureau agent.

Yuan Ye deliberately left these four bullet casings behind and did not pick them up, in order to make the Japanese believe that it was done by the KMT agents and to prove that Li Chengzong was a member of the KMT.

Masako Nagumo had a question in her mind. These four agents from the Special High Section's operations team were all professionally trained. Why didn't they react when they were shot at such a close distance?

She immediately thought of the answer. It was impossible for a killer to walk up to his own agent to assassinate him. If that were the case, the agent should have time to react. Even if the first two did not have time to react, the second two should have had time to react.

The killer should be sitting in the car. When the car sped past them, he fired continuously in a very short period of time. Every bullet hit the target directly. The killer's shooting skills were unimaginable!

Masako Nanyun frowned and took a breath of cold air. What kind of person is this?

This was the first time in her life that she had seen such a powerful killer. It was simply unimaginable that he existed.

She didn't expect that there was such a person in the Military Control Commission. She couldn't help but think of the Military Control Commission sharpshooter who accurately sniped Chen Lu from a distance of one thousand meters. Could it be that the two people were the same person? It was possible.

She felt even more the importance of the Hunter Plan. If this Military Control Commission killer was not eliminated, he would be a huge threat. She hoped that the Hunter Plan would succeed and eliminate this threat.

Nanyun Masako turned her gaze to Li Chengzong's home again, walked forward and pushed Li Chengzong's gate. The gate was not locked and opened with a light push.

When she walked into the yard and saw that the door of Li Chengzong's house was half open, she was not surprised. She knew that Li Chengzong's house must be empty at this time. The four people who were monitoring him outside the door had been killed. Would he wait to be caught here?

She knew that Li Chengzong could not possibly be the assassin who killed the four Special High Section agents. He was rescued by the Military Control Commission assassin after he eliminated the obstacles outside. He left in a hurry and did not even have time to close the door. The car to pick him up was waiting outside.
