Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

The sound of gunfire made the crowd even more panicked.

"Killed!"

"Killed!"

……

The crowd cried and screamed for their parents and fled forward desperately. They dared not look back. They only regretted that their parents had not given them two more legs. Some of their shoes had been lost, but they did not dare to stop to pick them up.

Yuan Ye calmly put away his gun, bent down and took out the heavy bag of small yellow croaker from Shen Zuliang's pocket, weighed it, and smiled slightly. What a good thing! If I don't want it, it will be a bargain for others.

He stuffed the money into his pocket, ran after the fleeing crowd, went downstairs, left the restaurant, and disappeared into the night without looking back.

Yuan Ye returned to the safe house, still feeling a little regretful. He was so busy running away that he didn't even take a look at what Miss Bodo looked like and whether she was prettier than Teacher Bo.

……

More than 20 minutes later, Inspector Zhang Yuqiang of the French Concession Police Station arrived at the scene with a group of police officers.

Zhang Yuqiang is about thirty years old, of medium build, wearing a police uniform that fits him well, and looks smart and capable.

As soon as he got off the car, he immediately ordered the Oriental Hotel to be sealed off. But he knew it was useless, because the murderer had already run away, and no one would be stupid enough to wait for you to catch him, but the routine procedure still had to be done.

Then he brought people to the fourth floor, and a bloody smell filled the air.

There were two bodies lying face down side by side in the aisle. One was a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit and tie, and the other was a very young woman, wrapped in a cheongsam, with a well-proportioned figure.

There was a pool of blood under each of their bodies, which had not yet dried, and it was obvious that they had not been dead for long.

There was a bullet hole on the back of his head, apparently he was shot from behind, killed instantly.

There were two bullet casings scattered on the ground behind him. The experienced Inspector Zhang recognized them at a glance as bullet casings used by the High-Power Browning M1935 pistol.

Because he himself owns such a gun.

The Browning M1935 pistol, also known as the "Canadian pistol", has a caliber of 9mm and uses 9x19mm Parabellum pistol bullets. The magazine has a capacity of 13 rounds, which is unprecedented compared to the popular automatic pistols at the time, which only had a magazine capacity of 7 to 10 rounds.

This gives the gun greater individual firepower and makes it suitable for close-range combat. It is a favorite of Military Control Commission operatives and almost everyone has one.

What was strange was that a pistol was found from the waist of the male corpse, which turned out to be a Browning M1935 pistol, and a pistol was found from the handbag of the female corpse, which turned out to be a Japanese Nambu Type pistol.

The Type 8 Nambu pistol, also known as the "Turtle Box", has a caliber of 8mm. This pistol uses the Nambu-style mm bullet, has a long aiming baseline, high accuracy, good safety performance, and will not easily cause "accidental discharge" accidents, but is prone to jamming.

The gun can hold 8 rounds and has high shooting accuracy within an effective range of 60 meters. The pistol has a simple and compact structure and is light in weight, weighing only 0.9 kilograms, making it easy to carry and use, so it was equipped in large quantities in the Japanese army.

Zhang Yuqiang was a little surprised. The Browning M1935 pistol was the standard equipment for the Military Intelligence Bureau agents in Shancheng, and the Type Nambu pistol was the standard equipment for the Japanese agents. There was a lot going on here. This was definitely not a simple murder of love or murder for money.

Could it be that one of the two corpses is a Military Intelligence Bureau agent and the other is a Japanese agent?

Why did two people die side by side?

Moreover, he was killed by the killer who shot him from behind while he was completely defenseless.

Combining the two Browning M1935 pistol bullet casings on the ground, Zhang Yuqiang guessed that the killer was most likely an agent of the Military Control Commission, and his purpose was probably to eliminate traitors.

The Military Intelligence Bureau agents had done this kind of thing a lot in the French Concession before, killing many traitors.

Zhang Yuqiang checked the accommodation situation on the fourth floor of the main reception desk and asked the tenants on the fourth floor, and he had a general idea of ​​what happened.

The female victim was a tenant of room 415, living alone. Before the incident, the male victim had called the female tenant of room 415 and then went upstairs to room 415.

The killer should be the tenant of 416 who disappeared shortly after moving in. He pulled the fire alarm to trick the two people from 415 out, then took advantage of the chaos to attack from behind and escaped after succeeding.

A few people saw the killer committing the crime in a hurry, but because the corridor was dark and the killer covered his face with a scarf, they could not see his features clearly. They only knew that he was a young man, about 175 cm tall, with a well-proportioned body, and his appearance was basically the same as the description given by the front desk about the resident of Room 416.

Zhang Yuqiang ordered his men to carry the body back to the morgue of the police station for the medical examiner to examine. He also asked the police to post a notice to identify the body. Zhang Yuqiang estimated that someone would claim the body soon, and then the identity would be clear.

But Zhang Yuqiang knew that this was most likely a political case, and that the Japanese might be involved. He, a mere detective, could not handle it.

The next morning he hurriedly reported to Chief Inspector Huang Renxuan. Huang Renxuan was also overwhelmed when he heard the report. He agreed with Zhang Yuqiang's analysis and ordered that the matter be handled low-key and it would be best not to report it to the newspapers. If the Japanese came to claim the bodies, let them take them. It would be best not to offend both the Military Control Commission and the Japanese.

In the afternoon, someone from the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai took the female corpse away in a low-key manner. The attitude of the Japanese was a bit strange, and it was obvious that they did not want to make it public.

Zhang Yuqiang thought that it seemed that the identity of the female corpse had been confirmed, and she must be a Japanese spy without a doubt.

And what about this male corpse?

Who is this person? Is he from the Military Control Commission?

Zhang Yuqiang changed into plain clothes, came out of the police station, turned a street, and walked straight into Ruixiang Grocery Store.

"Boss, come and pack cigarettes!"

After checking that no one was around, he took out an envelope from his pocket and placed it on the counter, whispering;

"Old Li, hand it over to the stationmaster immediately."

He casually took the pack of cigarettes handed to him by Lao Li, opened it, took out a cigarette, lit it, put it in his mouth, and walked out of the grocery store.

It turned out that Inspector Zhang Yuqiang was a secret agent planted in the French Concession Police Station by Wang Tianwang, the station chief of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station, and was personally controlled by Wang Tianwang himself.

Wang Tianwang, the head of the Shanghai station of the Military Control Commission, was born in 1891 and is 48 years old this year. He passed the imperial examination in his early years and later entered the Northeast Military Academy. After graduation, he studied at Meiji University in Japan and obtained a bachelor's degree in law. He can be regarded as a man of both civil and military talents.

After returning to China, he served as a judge in the Beijing Local Court. In 1935, he served as the Chief Prosecutor of the Zhejiang High Procuratorate. Later, he served as a consul and embassy secretary. He joined the Renaissance Society very early and was one of the ten members of the group, including Dai Yunong.

Eight years ago, he became the station chief of the Tianjin Station of the Renaissance Society. Two years ago, he became the director of the North China District of the Military Commission's Investigation and Statistics Bureau. Last spring, he also served as the commander-in-chief of the North China "Loyal and Patriotic Army".

Not long ago, the Shanghai station of the Military Control Bureau was destroyed by the Japanese, and he was ordered by his boss Dai to serve as the station chief of the Shanghai station of the Military Control Bureau. After joining the Fuxing Society, he organized the assassination of many famous traitors. He was one of the famous four great kings of the Military Control Bureau and had a high prestige in the Military Control Bureau.
