Meng Shaoyuan heard the most ridiculous sentence in the world:

Yoshikawa Wumen was killed by Meng Shaoyuan!

Meng Shaoyuan tried his best to assassinate Yoshikawa Wumen, but he never found the most suitable opportunity.

He's still waiting.

But now, Yoshikawa Gomon is dead?

Killed by yourself?

Meng Shaoyuan looked at Wu Jingyi in a daze: "Assistant Wu, please say it again, who killed Jichuan Wumen?" ”

"You, Meng Shaoyuan! Or to be more precise, you ordered the Yoshikawa Gomon to be solved! ”

Meng Shaoyuan touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "Why did I order to kill Yoshikawa Wumen, even I don't know?" ”

"You really don't know?" Wu Jingyi was a little puzzled.

Meng Shaoyuan was out of nowhere, and those tasks that seemed impossible could always be miraculously achieved in his hands.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know what to say: "I also want this grandson to be killed by my own hands, but unfortunately I don't know what's going on!" ”

Wu Jingyi replied: "Jichuan Wumen was assassinated at the New Asia Hotel on North Sichuan Road, and he was assassinated on the day he arrived in Hongkou......

……

Two days ago.

Accompanied by a large number of bodyguards such as Kojiro Kawamoto, Yoshikawa Gomon smoothly arrived at Japan's Hongkou Naval Base.

Here, he met with the "Three Tigers of the Empire", Nagatani Shigehara Michiosa, the Japanese Navy's secret service in Shanghai, and Inoue Hisaaki, the head of the "Inoue Mansion".

This Inoue Hiaki is just a ronin, but his power cannot be ignored.

After graduating from the Japanese Non-Commissioned Officer School at an early age, he spent some time in the Japanese Army, where he felt limited in his movements, and soon resigned from the army to become a vagrant.

At the beginning of 1937, Inoue came to Shanghai, mingled with the Japanese overseas Chinese in Hongkou District, and later rented a few houses on the third floor of the Hatong Building on Nanjing Road and opened the "Tongyuan Foreign Company".

Under the cover of Sino-Japanese trade, he recruited a group of ronin from Japan as the backbone, and bribed some traitors as minions to carry out espionage and terrorist activities.

After the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu on August 13, Inoue was very active.

In order to assist the Japanese army in combat, he commanded his ronin and traitors to use mirrors to reflect sunlight during the day and launch signal flares at night to instruct Japanese planes to bomb the Japanese air force in the traffic strongholds behind the squadron, near the army's hideouts, or on the highway where military vehicles come and go.

They also put poison in the wells, ditches, rivers and canals in various towns and villages in the suburbs of Shanghai, poisoning the squadron and innocent people. In addition, he planned and arranged a number of kidnappings, assassinations, and sabotage activities in the Shanghai area to create an atmosphere of terror in order to sabotage our army and people to resist the Japanese army.

After the fall of Shanghai, Inoue was even more emboldened.

He used a Japanese-style two-story building on Caichang Hengjie on Tiantong Road in Hongkou as a base for espionage activities, gathered a group of ronins, frantically carried out intelligence gathering, kidnapping, assassination and other activities, and brutally killed Chinese anti-Japanese people.

Inoue was in his 40s at the time, of medium build, with a narrow face, a pale face, often dressed in a suit, and holding a cane in his hand with a sharp blade that could be used for self-defense if necessary.

He usually has a gloomy face, few words, and treats his subordinates very harshly, so his men are very afraid of him.

Because he had many classmates and colleagues in the Japanese military department, and had a rather strong background, he was very arrogant and never looked down on some Japanese officers or diplomats.

Inoue Hisaaki once said that although he had only more than 60 men under his command, the role he played was comparable to that of a division of the Japanese Army.

Although the Inoue Mansion is only an espionage organization composed of Japanese ronins and does not belong to the official organization of Japan, because of their outstanding espionage activities, it has been recognized and actively supported by the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters and the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai.

Although there are no clear regulations on the expenses for the activities, Inoue can receive them at any time from the headquarters or consulate of the Japanese forces stationed in Shanghai without restrictions.

Therefore, both Inoue himself and his subordinates lived in luxury.

With the fall of Shanghai, the army and navy intelligence departments of the Japanese civilian spy organizations in Shanghai vied with each other for a share of the food, so their power quickly diminished.

Only Inoue Mansion is an exception.

Yoshikawa Gomon and Inoue Hisaaki have known each other for a long time, and they also attach great importance to this person.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived at Hongkou, he specified that he wanted to meet with Inoue Hiaki.

Gu Fanyuan Dao Dazuo, from the bottom of his heart, looks down on Inoue Hisaaki, who is a ronin.

But this is what Yoshikawa Wumen ordered, what can be done?

Therefore, after introducing the work of the "Shanghai Research Office" under his command, Gu Fanyuan arranged a meeting with Yoshikawa Gomen and Inoue Hiaki.

The two sides had a very pleasant negotiation.

The reason why Yoshikawa Gomon attaches so much importance to Inoue Hisaaki is not only because he has known each other for a long time, but also because he wants to use this person.

In his own words and that of Yoshikawa Sadasa, head of Japan's five North China provinces:

"Once the North and the South start cooperating, it is important who dominates...... Our strength in Shanghai is very weak, and neither the army nor the navy will let us interfere easily, so Inoue Hiaki, who has a lot of power in Shanghai, will be a very good chess piece......"

That's what he's really for.

After the two sides met and talked, Yoshikawa Gomen also gladly accepted Inoue's invitation to have dinner together at the New Asia Hotel.

Gu Fanyuan, Dao Dazuo and others all received invitations at the same time.

The New Asia Hotel is under the control of the Japanese army, and most of the people living in it are Japanese.

In order to ensure safety, Gu Fanyuan Dao Osa and his subordinates went to the hotel with Kawamoto Kojiro to deploy.

Inoue Hisaaki also mobilized more than a dozen of his most trusted subordinates to carry out strict security work.

In terms of safety, there should be no problems.

The dinner was held in a private room.

Eat authentic Chinese food.

Every dish, before it is served, is personally inspected by a Japanese named Nobufumi Okai to ensure that nothing is lost.

Security has been done to the extreme.

But just when the third hot dish was served, Dafang Xinwen personally brought the dish to the table, and then something happened suddenly.

Dafang Nobumi didn't know where he pulled out his gun and fired four shots at Yoshikawa Gomon.

It happened so suddenly that it was impossible to react.

Immediately, Dafang Xinwen reversed the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger on his head without hesitation.

In the chaos, Yoshikawa Gomon was rushed to the hospital, but died.

……

Meng Shaoyuan was dumbfounded.

Who is this generous letter?

Why did he assassinate Yoshikawa Gomon?

There's so much wrong with that.

Where did Dafang Nobumi's gun come from?

There, for sure, he won't be allowed to carry a gun.

Assassinated on the spot and decisively committed suicide.

In order not to become a captive.

It's so ruthless.

One more point.

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but ask:

"Why do you say this has something to do with me?"
