Chapter 17: The Phantom Returns

There was a lot of rumors in the entire control area of the Japanese army in Shanghai, especially in the Hongkou District, where everyone was in danger, and there was once a rumor that a group of river and foreign thieves from the north and south had come to Shanghai, and their target was not the rich people in Shanghai, but the extremely vicious Japanese. Look at it, even the Jiangyang thieves can't stand the arrogance of the Japanese, and the Japanese have to be hated more. This kind of gossip was originally nonsense, but as time went by, such nonsense spread all over Shanghai, and many people have already believed it.

Xu Huanshan, who has assumed the pseudonym Wang Pan, will naturally not be one of these people, because he knows the inside story and knows that the culprit who caused all this is still hiding in Hongkou District at the moment. Although what Lu Yuan did in Hongkou District was too crazy and intense, in Xu Huanshan's view, this was an effective way to combat the arrogance of the Japanese army. Gunshots rang out, either the traitors were eliminated or their own people fell, and the bloody and cruel anti-traitor activities put the agents themselves under great psychological pressure. This kind of psychological pressure is not only the sacrifice of one comrade-in-arms after another, but also those who have been eliminated.

Traitors and traitors are all Chinese, not to mention former colleagues and friends. Agent to agent, blood to blood, more and more into Chinese suicide killings, while the Japanese, who play the trick of "using China to contain China," are hiding behind the scenes and commanding remotely, which is unfair in any case. The way Lu Yuan chose was to directly enter the area controlled by the Japanese army, and directly point the gun at the Japanese who would only hide behind the scenes, which could not only blow the arrogance of the Japanese, but also give a warning to those traitors who were willing to join the Japanese army.

Because the Japanese army tried its best to block the news, what happened in Hongkou District did not spread, and all those in the know are still speculating and waiting, and no one knows the actual losses of the Japanese army in Hongkou District. Xu Huanshan was very worried about Lu Yuan's safety in the concession, and Lu Yuan, who was hiding in Hongkou District, was not idle, and when a large number of Japanese troops tightly sealed off Hongkou District and carried out house-to-house investigation, Lu Yuan had quietly left his hiding place after nightfall, and was ready to carry out the next move.

Night has fallen, the street lamps on the street seem to be unable to withstand the oppression of the boundless night, spitting out the dim light with difficulty, and the houses, buildings, and telephone poles all seem to stand in the light or in the dark, casting black shadows on the ground. Lu Yuan, who was wearing a Japanese military uniform, straightened his chest and stepped on the nail leather boots, and went straight to the izakaya not far in front.

The area where fierce fighting took place during the day was still cordoned off by the Japanese army, and an attacker like Lu Yuan, who swaggered down the street, was unexpected. Even if he met other Japanese military policemen on the way, with Shen Chen's now relatively fluent Japanese, his rank as a second lieutenant, and his calm demeanor, it was estimated that no one would doubt that this young imperial officer would be the enemy.

Two lanterns in front of the izakaya emitted a dim glow, and two figures stood in the doorway, and through the open door, a Japanese woman could be seen napping behind the counter. Lu Yuan first turned his head to look at the cars parked outside the izakaya, and then walked in. "Excuse me, please show your ID." The big man who guarded the door stepped forward and did not block the door, obviously still a little afraid of Lu Yuan's military uniform and second lieutenant rank.

Lu Yuan snorted, raised his pistol with * with a flipped of his right hand, and fired three shots in a row at a close distance, killing the two guards guarding the door. Hello, Mr. Ensign. Hearing Lu Yuan's footsteps coming in, the Japanese woman napping behind the counter randomly cheered up, with a professional smile on her face, and asked Lu Yuan in a low voice, "What can I do for you?" ”

Lu Yuan, who was in a straight military uniform, quickly glanced at the room, turned his head and said to the Japanese woman solemnly: "I came to find Lieutenant Toda, he made an appointment with me." ”

"Lieutenant Toda?" The Japanese woman frowned when she heard this, "Looks like we don't have such a guest here tonight?" Can you tell me the unit number of this Lieutenant Toda? ”

"Please check the register and confirm it." Lu Yuan pointed to the registration book on the table with some unhappiness and said.

"Okay, please wait a minute." The Japanese woman lowered her head and opened the register to check. A Japanese woman who was carefully looking through the register suddenly felt a hard object on her head. Before she could react, after hearing a click, the defenseless Japanese woman completely collapsed behind the counter.

Lu Yuan turned around and went out first, dragged the two corpses of the guards outside the door of the izakaya to the shadows, then came back and stuffed the body of the Japanese woman under the table, and found a bunch of keys under the counter, then took off the military uniform to reveal the suit inside, and walked out with the bunch of keys. After trying the cars outside the izakaya one by one with the key, Lu Yuan finally opened the door of a car, sat in and inserted the key, and Lu Yuan tried to start it. After starting the car successfully, Lu Yuan didn't pull out the key, but just got out of the car, closed the door of the izakaya, and hung up a sign that was temporarily closed.

After doing all this, Lu Yuan walked upstairs with a pistol, and as soon as he turned the landing in the middle of the stairs, a Japanese man walked over with a geisha in his arms. Shen Chen quickly raised his gun to shoot, and after two soft sounds, the two people who came towards him didn't even make a sound, and fell down with the blood hole in their heads. Lu Yuan immediately took a few quick steps forward, stretched out his hand and blocked the corpse with a swift movement, making the sound it make when it fell to the ground very small.

Listening quietly outside the door of a private room with the door closed, Lu Yuan held a gun in one hand and slammed the door open with the other. Poof, poof, poof, Lu Yuan, who opened the sliding door of the private room, quickly captured the target, and at the same time shot three shots in succession even faster. The Japanese in the room narrowed his drunken eyes and looked up to see which friend had come to make amusement, and for a moment he saw a young man, and the thing in the young man's hand was spewing a faint smoke, and then his consciousness suddenly went blank, and the young geisha in his arms fell to the ground.

Open the door, kill people, Lu Yuan is like a confidential machine that operates as fast, and it only takes a few seconds for each room to be cleared, which is not counting the time to replace*. In a short time, the eight rooms on the second floor had been cleared, and six of the rooms were filled with people, including geisha and Japanese guests, and a total of sixteen Japanese people died here. No one would have thought that anyone would be so bold as to kill people not only in the sphere of influence of the Japanese, but also in the places where the Japanese are concentrated.

After killing the second floor, Lu Yuan went all the way up to the third floor, and the increasingly thick bloody aura began to spread in the izakaya. Unfortunately, today is not the weekend, and if it is a Saturday night, there will be more Japanese here, but the danger of exposure is also greater. Therefore, Lu Yuan, who accidentally found this place, did what he said, not pursuing the greatest results, but pursuing the highest safety. According to the records in the registration book, there were only four rooms on the third floor with guests.

Time was passing minute by minute, and Lu Yuan, who had returned to the first floor, was carrying a * while admiring, when the sound of a car suddenly came from outside the door of the izakaya, and with a "quack", the car stopped at the door of the izakaya. It's so late, why are people still coming? Looks like I made the right decision to stay here. Lu Yuan frowned secretly, reached out and stuck the gun in his waist, and then held * in his hand and stared coldly at the door. The doorbell rang, Shen Chen thought for a moment, put * on the counter and raised his legs to go out, the one who could ignore the "temporarily closed" sign was definitely not a nobody.

Through the gap in the gate, Lu Yuan clearly saw a Japanese sinknose car parked at the door, and three men in suits were standing in front of the izakaya. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll open the door right away." Lu Yuan didn't ask who it was, as if he knew them, and mainly tried to talk less. The door opened, and two sturdy men with bodyguards Mo Yan escorted a man in his forties and walked in. Lu Yuan closed the door casually, trotted, and opened the door for them first.

"Hospitality, hospitality?" The three of them walked into the inner room, a guy who looked like a driver and a bodyguard, entered the door and looked around for a while and shouted loudly, while frowning and turning his head to look at the middle-aged man behind him. This middle-aged man is of medium height, with a narrow face, a pale complexion, wearing a suit, and holding a cane in his hand. Lu Yuan didn't answer the other party's question, just

He glanced at the three Japanese with a light eye, and then the cold light of the brush flashed, and the knife in Lu Yuan's hand was out of its sheath. The Japanese man closest to Lu Yuan suddenly felt that his house suddenly flew up, but in the process of flying, he suddenly saw his body from a strange angle. A body that had lost its head slowly fell to its knees, pumping a bouquet of blood from the incision to the rhythm of its heartbeat.

Lu Yuan, who had succeeded in the first blow, did not pause, and with a "poof", the narrow * stabbed obliquely into his chest from the intercostal space of another stunned Japanese bodyguard, and the sharp tip of the sword kept running diagonally from behind the shoulder blades behind his back. A large amount of blood immediately poured into his airways, and the bodyguard, who was suddenly choked by his own blood, tried to cough up the blood. But with the vigorous movement of his chest, the wound in the man's lung was torn even wider, which also allowed more blood to flow into his trachea.

After several such reciprocations, the Japanese bodyguard lost the strength to cough. Seriously injured, he could only let the blood gradually fill his entire lungs, staring at Shen Chen. Lu Yuan didn't want to draw his knife to attack the last Japanese at this moment, but the knife was stuck in the bone, and he didn't pull it out at once. The cold light flashed, and the last middle-aged man was just stunned, so he pulled out his knife and stabbed at Lu Yuan. It turned out that he had a sharp short knife hidden in his cane.
