Lu Yuan, who was a little surprised, turned his body sharply, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and used the corpse in front of him to block the knife for himself. The middle-aged Japanese's sharp blade penetrated the bodyguard's body, but failed to stab Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan won this respite, and then quickly took a step back, and while dodging the knife, his right hand flipped out of the storage space and took out the pistol.

The middle-aged Japanese also stepped sideways at the same time, pushed the corpse away with his left elbow, and pulled out his knife with his right hand to slash at Lu Yuan again. The short knife slashed at Lu Yuan in a half-arc in the air, the posture of the knife holder was very beautiful, and the movements were also very fast, but Lu Yuan's speed was faster than him, but his hand probed and turned, and while the muzzle of the black hole pointed at the opponent, his fingers had already continuously pulled the board machine.

Puff, puff, three bullets hit the body of the middle-aged Japanese one after another, and the middle-aged Japanese who had been shot in succession immediately fell backwards on his back. Lu Yuan, who succeeded in the first blow, did not change back into the uniform of the military police, but quickly went out in civilian clothes and went straight to the car driven by the three people just now. Turning around to look at the silent izakaya, Lu Yuan, who turned around and got into the car, turned the car towards the adjacent street, and then disappeared into the darkness.

Half an hour later, the body in the izakaya was discovered by a Japanese patrol passing by, and the cautious Japanese patrol did not enter the izakaya immediately, but reported the situation first. As it turned out, the patrol didn't do what it did, because the trail experts who arrived later found two* from the izakaya, and both of them blew up at the slightest touch. "Your Excellency, although we have not been able to locate the suspect at this time, based on the two places we found at the scene*, we have a preliminary judgment that the suspect who attacked here should be related to the attack that occurred at the gendarmerie headquarters."

The words of the trace expert made the military police unit Osakuro Tozuobei, who came here in a hurry, immediately frowned, and the attacker infiltrated the compound of the military police headquarters and launched an attack, which was a shame for the Japanese military police in Shanghai, if it were not for this, the military police force would not have been dispatched in a big way, and a strict blockade and investigation was carried out on the Hongkou District. Hearing that the person who attacked this izakaya might have something to do with what happened at the gendarmerie headquarters, a thought immediately flashed in Kuroto Zubei's mind, could it be that the attacker who was blocked in Hongkou District had already jumped out of the blockade circle?

Kuroto Zubei would think so, naturally it was not untargeted, because the tavern he was standing at the moment was outside the blockade circle. "Your Excellency, you see, this is the American* style used by the attackers when they set up*. Compared to the Infantry* produced by the Empire, the American* had more fragments after explosions, and the delay time was much shorter. When we surveyed the scene of the attack on the Gendarmerie Command, we found more than once that it was used to decorate the *American*, so we were sure that there was some connection between this and the site of the Gendarmerie Command. ”

The trace experts were not afraid of the cruel eyes of Kuroto Sabei who were about to eat people, but according to the traces and clues they found, they told Kuroto Sabei the direction of their inferences and suspicions. After listening to the report of the trace expert, Kuroto Sabei did not speak immediately, but walked the entire izakaya down the stairs, and after carefully looking at each scene of the bloodbath, the churning mood in Kuroto Sabei's heart calmed down a little.

Before coming to Shanghai, Kuroto Zubei was just an unpopular combat staff officer in the Japanese Kwantung Army, and if it weren't for the fact that he was transferred to the military police unit in Shanghai through his uncle's connection, perhaps Kuroto Zuobei would have stayed outside the customs and had nothing to do until he was old. Coming to Shanghai, known as the Pearl of the Orient, Kuroto Sabei was satisfied for his status as an officer for the first time, because here, in this bustling city, the Japanese are everything, not to mention the Japanese officers.

I don't know when it started, Kurotto Zuobei had the idea of continuing to climb up, in his opinion, only if his military rank is promoted again, can he get more benefits in the metropolis of Shanghai, which he didn't have before. But right now, the most important thing for me is to catch that damn attacker as soon as possible, if the other party continues to be tossed like this in Hongkou District, my own military police force may soon become a middle son, or even a young one.

When the Kurotto Left Guard stood outside the izakaya with a room of corpses and secretly sighed, Lu Yuan, who had driven away from the izakaya half an hour ago, had already quietly come to the Suzhou Creek, which was the only way for him to return to the concession. Before leaving the hiding place, Lu Yuan had already secretly pondered the path back to the concession, and after thinking about it, there was only one way to go, Suzhou Creek. Lu Yuan is not very familiar with Suzhou Creek, and he doesn't know where it is shallow and deep, let alone where there are boats hidden in Suzhou Creek.

It's just that there is another profession in this world called smugglers, and when Western merchants sold opium to China more than 100 years ago, there were people here in Shanghai who specialized in smuggling. It's just that the smugglers at that time were all opium, but now the smugglers are pouring whatever they want, such as tobacco, such as munitions, or other things. Even though the Suzhou Creek has become an area controlled by the Japanese army, there has been no way to completely control the smuggling activities of the people, and even the Japanese army has not been able to completely eradicate smugglers and traffickers.

The dark sky is like a layer of ink, and the quietly flowing Suzhou Creek seems to be asleep. Lu Yuan, dressed in black, squatted in a sheltered position, staring ahead with his eyes and waiting quietly, and soon, "Whoa, whoa!" The sound of water broke the silence. A small boat suddenly rowed out of the shadows, appeared on the river, and quickly sailed over the opposite bank. As soon as the boat landed, the man who had been squatting on the board jumped onto the riverbank, quickly climbed up to the embankment and observed left and right for a while, and then turned around and waved his hand behind him. A few men with suitcases or baggage in their hands immediately got out of the cabin, climbed up the river's edge along the course of the man just now, and then disappeared into the night without looking back.

The people on the boat and those who had left the river bank thought they were doing it seamlessly, but they didn't know that everything just now had been seen clearly by Lu Yuan, so before the man on the riverside returned to the wooden boat, Lu Yuan came out of the shadows and saw the Thomson* that Lu Yuan was carrying, and the other people on the wooden boat all knew the times and closed their mouths. "This friend, we have something to say, something to say." A Humpty Dumpty man on the boat came out to play a round game, staring at the * in Lu Yuan's hand with both eyes, but his legs were trembling constantly.

"Send me across the river, and after crossing the river, we will have nothing to do with each other." Lu Yuan's request made the people on the wooden boat immediately relaxed, they were eating water rice, when Lu Yuan suddenly appeared just now, they thought that Lu Yuan, who was carrying *, was sent to find trouble. I heard Lu Yuan say that he just wanted to cross the river, which was too simple and easy for them, and even though he was busy, he nodded and agreed.

Not to mention the Japanese army, even Lu Yuan himself did not expect that he would return to the concession in such a way and cross the Suzhou Creek smoothly, and Lu Yuan, who was temporarily safe, immediately called Xu Huanshan. Xu Huanshan, who learned that Lu Yuan had returned safely, was overjoyed, and immediately drove to pick up Lu Yuan in person, and learned that Lu Yuan came back as a smuggling boat, Xu Huanshan's first reaction was impossible. "Don't be kidding, Suzhou Creek is a key place for the Japanese army, and those who dare to swagger and row boats back and forth are definitely not smugglers."

Xu Huanshan's words did not attract Lu Yuan's rebuttal, at this moment Lu Yuan was smoking a cigarette with a pensive face, and after being questioned by Xu Huanshan continuously, Lu Yuan spoke. "I'm thinking, not to mention helping the military commander eliminate traitors this time, but also taking the opportunity to help you and the military commander kill a large number of Japanese soldiers and intelligence personnel, for which I was surrounded by the Japanese army in Hongkou District for several days, should you thank me well? Forget about any commendation and praise, I'm a very real person, and I've cashed these directly, anyway, I've been short of money lately. ”

Lu Yuan's words made Xu Huanshan almost stomp on the brakes directly, obviously he had just done something earth-shattering, but when Lu Yuan said this, it was full of copper stench. "I said, can you think of something good? Besides, we also know your situation, you are now alone, what do you want so much money for? Xu Huanshan glanced at Lu Yuan with disdain, and Lu Yuanque immediately sneered.

"Lao Xu, what you say sounds a bit nosy, how many people do you care about me? What do you care about how I spend money? Now the thing is, I'm working for you, and you should pay for it. It's okay not to give money, if there is such a thing next time, please find a way for yourself. "Lu Yuan is obviously determined to return Xu Huanshan, not to mention that they want Xu Huanshan to go to the military police headquarters to kill people, even in Hongkou District, they may not be able to touch it. Lu Yuan's insistence made Xu Huanshan speechless, and finally had to agree to go back and discuss with the military commander before he could give Lu Yuan a satisfactory answer.

Lu Yuan didn't give Xu Huanshan any deadline, but just pulled Xu Huanshan to find a restaurant and had a delicious meal before being driven back to his residence by Xu Huanshan. After washing, Lu Yuan lay on the soft bed, thinking about all the things that had happened in the past few days, thinking of the scene when he was besieged by a large number of Japanese troops and had almost no way out, Lu Yuan, who had returned to the concession safely, was still a little afraid, as long as he was a little negligent at that time, he might not be able to get out successfully this time, maybe he should change his tactics.
