Lost and Spy

Chapter 848
On September 1938, 9, Kenji Doihara, accompanied by Cen Deguang, visited Tang Shaoyi.

The two talked in secret for an hour.

After hearing the news, Zhou Weilong, the head of the military-controlled Shanghai latent area, quickly reported to Chongqing.

After learning about this, the chairman personally issued an order to Zhou Weilong:

Get rid of Tang Shaoyi.

Dai Li gave this instruction to the military command Shanghai area at the first time.

Zhou Weilong personally deployed the operation to assassinate Tang, and the military commanded the killer, and Dai Liai executed Zhao Lijun in detail.

Near Tang Shaoyi's villa, the public concession police took special security measures, dispatched many Annan patrols to patrol, and set up guards at the door to prevent idlers from entering or leaving.

Since this is the case, he is happy to be at ease, living in seclusion, temporarily working as an apartment in the sea, waiting to start again.

Every morning, he first goes to Xinghualou on Fourth Avenue to drink morning tea. In addition to the exquisite Guangbang pastries, he also drinks some ginseng soup and deer antler soup to nourish his vitality.

Usually at home, he entertains himself by admiring antiques. He is especially interested in porcelain.

And this also gave Zhao Lijun an excellent chance to assassinate him!

1938 9 Month 29 Day.

Xie Zhipan, an insider arranged by the military command, led military officers in civilian clothes, posing as antique dealers, and drove straight to the Tang residence.

Xie Zhipan is a disciple of an old friend of Tang Shaoyi, and he often went to Tang Shaoyi's place, but this time he was also bribed by the military command.

When they came to the front of the house, Annan's guard searched them very strictly, but apart from a few antiques, there were no flaws.

After the butler led the group of them to the reception room to sit down, Tang Shaoyi slowly came downstairs.

Xie Zhipan hurried forward, with a smile on his face: "Master, many of the refugees in the International Settlement have valuable antiques, and they are willing to sell them at a low price."

He pointed to these "antique dealers" and said: "They know that the master likes them, so they selected a few and sent them here. I respectfully invite the master to have a look."

After speaking, he handed over several beautiful boxes containing antiques.

Tang Shaoyi held a magnifying glass in his hand, carefully looked at several antiques one by one, and repeatedly praised: "Good things, good things! Please make a price."

Xie Zhipan quoted the price casually, and the sale was considered a deal, and several mysterious antique dealers walked away.

It turned out that this was just an exercise by the juntong operators to ensure that tomorrow's attack will be foolproof.

They found that Tang Shaoyi was so obsessed with antiques that he always received visiting antique dealers in person. For particularly precious goods, he had to screen out the servants and close the door tightly to prevent outsiders from peeping.This is the opportunity to start.

A careful assassination plan was set up.

On the morning of September 9th, the autumn wind was light and rainy, and it was heavy and hazy.

A blue car drove straight to the gate of Tangzhai,

Get off Xie Zhipan and three other people from the car, Annan gate guard sees that they are regular customers, opens the iron gate to let them go.

Xie Zhipan was wearing a blue suit, and Zhao Lijun, a military special agent who personally carried out the operation, was dressed as an antique dealer, wearing a light gray serge gown, and the two walked side by side.

Followed by the military command killers Wang Xingguo and Li Ada, all dressed as men, carrying a large suitcase containing antiques.

There are indeed good goods in the box,

A large imperial vase made in the Southern Song Dynasty, a sword said to be worn by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, and several other antiques.

Of course, there is still a small sharp steel ax hidden in the large vase of the Southern Song Dynasty.

A group of four came to the living room, the butler had already gone upstairs to report to Tang Shaoyi, saying that Young Master Xie brought people to sell antiques again, and asked the master to go downstairs to have a look. Not long after, Tang Shaoyi went downstairs to greet the visitor.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Zhao Lijun drew out the sword first, walked up to Tang Shaoyi, and said: "This sword was used by Qi Jiguang when he fought against the Japanese. It is invaluable. Please take a look at it, Prime Minister Tang."

Tang Shaoyi took the sword and played with it a little, frowning slightly.

He immediately put on the tone of a connoisseur and said: "I'm afraid it's not the real thing. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty wore more swords than swords. The one that General Qi confronted the Japanese pirate Feng Di was also the famous Japanese Japanese sword."

The two bargained and couldn't stop arguing.

At this time, in order to ease the atmosphere, Tang Shaoyi said to the servant standing aside: "Light a cigarette for the guest."

But there were no matches in the room, so the servant went out to get them.

Seeing that the time had come, Zhao Lijun signaled Li Ada to act with his eyes.

When Tang Shaoyi turned and lowered his head to stare at other antiques, Li Ada quickly took out the small steel ax from the Southern Song Dynasty vase.

He went around Tang Shaoyi's back and cut off her head suddenly.

Tang Shaoyi didn't have time to snort, and fell down slumped. At that time, his brains splattered and blood gushed out.

Seeing that the work is done, Zhao Lijun asked everyone to go out and get in the car.

When they came to the door of the room, Xie Zhipan and Zhao Lijun spoke eloquently, and said in succession: "Prime Minister Tang doesn't need to see you off, stay here, stay here."

After closing the door and coming out, the four of them bowed to the inside of the door, appearing extremely respectful and respectful.

The bodyguards and servants outside the door were suspicious when they saw this scene.

They got out of the door step by step, got into the blue car that had not been turned off, and drove away like lightning.

Several servants vaguely remembered that the license plate was 6312.

Tang Shaoyi was the patriarch who founded the Republic of China and had a great reputation.

His killing instantly shocked the International Settlement.

After the patrol room learned that Tang Shaoyi had been assassinated, it immediately dispatched a large number of armed patrols to the scene, and sent another armored vehicle to guard the intersection of the main road.

At the same time, the patrol offices were notified by telephone to pay attention to the arrest of the blue car No. 6312.

At noon, an armored vehicle found the empty blue car at the intersection of Bishop Yao on Maggie Road.

After investigation, the car number is 6312, which is owned by a taxi company and was rented by an unknown person a few days ago.

The murderer obviously came prepared, and this clue was broken.

According to the address of Xie Zhipan's home provided by the Tang family, another patrol went straight to No. 275 Ladu Road in the public concession, but the building was already empty.

After being stabbed, Tang Shaoyi was seriously injured and rushed to the nearby Guangci Hospital for emergency treatment. When she arrived at the hospital, she was dying.

The doctor gave him a cardiotonic injection and another 2000cc blood transfusion, but it still didn't work, and he was in a coma all the time.

At 4:[-] p.m. that day, Tang Shaoyi died.

Newspapers in Shanghai published the news one after another:

"Tang Shaoyi was assassinated and died".

After being arrested in the French Concession for an autopsy, the body was taken away by relatives and children of the Tang family, and later set up an auditorium at the Wanguo Funeral Home on Jiaozhou Road. The aftermath is not lonely.

After several assassins escaped, they went straight to Dai Li's family in Chongqing to ask for credit and reward.

Zhao Lijun's military rank was promoted to colonel.

Wang Xingguo and Li Ada also have their own uses.

But Xie Zhipan, who was bought off, was not sophisticated enough. Afterwards, he was always terrified like a bereaved dog, and because of his special relationship with Tang Shaoyi, after he fled to Chongqing, he became a little mentally disturbed. He often said to himself, "I'm sorry, Uncle Tang!"

As a result, it is impossible to arrange for him to work and let him stay in a hotel temporarily.Soon, it was said that he had schizophrenia, was sent to a hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and was locked in a special intensive care unit.

Zhou Weilong, who successfully directed the assassination of Tang Dynasty, really had a lot of glory.

And now, it's finally time for Meng Shaoyuan to make his debut!
