No trace of espionage

Chapter 668 The Difficulty of Assassination
Li Honglin didn't dare to continue talking about Zhang Shouzheng and Pang Yiping's husband and wife, and hurriedly reported the news about Qian Chongwen.

"Tomorrow? No specific time?" Lin Chuang asked.

"No. However, it should mean morning, because if it is afternoon, Zhang Shouzheng can clean up at home, and moving house is not a trivial matter." Li Honglin said.

"Well, it makes sense, time is too tight." Lin Chuang said.

Yes, time is too tight.

Originally, he had agreed with Lu Ze that he only needed to get information about Qian Chongwen, or lure him out of the consulate, and leave the rest to Lu Ze.

Because of Zhang Shouzheng's incident, Lu Ze didn't dare to live in the city, but stayed on Qu Qinghui's boat.

The two agreed that if they had information, they could go to the vegetable market in the north of the city to find a fishmonger surnamed Wang. In addition, Lu Ze also gave the contact code.

The vegetable market can only open after [-] o'clock in the morning. Who is this information for now?
If Qian Chongwen set off before eight o'clock, even if it was sent out, what's the use of outdated information?

What's more, as Qian Chongwen was the first government official to defect, the Japanese must be heavily guarded. To assassinate him, a strict action plan must be formulated.

This is not something that can be decided with a slap on the head, nor is it as simple as getting a gunman to stop on the street and shoot when he sees Qian Chongwen's convoy approaching.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Because of the matter of Yunzi Nakano, Lin Chuangben was somewhat resentful towards Li Chunfeng's ruthlessness.Originally, I thought that if I got the information and handed it over to Lu Ze, it would be over, and I would run away immediately, regardless of whether your assassination was successful or not.

But what to do now?
in spite of?Watching Qian Chongwen take a cool tour of Hanshan Temple?
No, traitors are hateful and their hearts can be punished.Don't miss this opportunity, if you don't miss it, you must kill him!

Thinking of this, Lin Chuang made up his mind, temporarily put away his personal grievances, and began to plan how to get rid of Qian Chongwen.

Hanshan Temple is outside the city, just west of the south gate.

Lin Chuang felt that Qian Chongwen was courting death.

Because in order to get rid of Qian Chongwen and get out of danger smoothly, the best place to assassinate must be outside the city, and Hanshan Temple just fits this point.

The reason why the Japanese secret service agreed to Qian Chongwen's going to Hanshan Temple is probably because there are Japanese troops stationed in Hanshan Temple, and the safety is not guaranteed enough.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Chuang feels that the assassination is extremely difficult.

First, the timing of the assassination is not easy to choose.

The assassination must be carried out between Qian Chongwen's convoy leaving the south gate and Hanshan Temple. As long as he is allowed to enter Hanshan Temple, the assassination will basically be impossible.

Hanshan Temple has no tourists because of the Japanese army stationed there. Even if there were tourists, Lin Chuang and others could pretend to be tourists and sneak in and successfully carry out the assassination. It would be very difficult to get out.

Lin Chuang would not sacrifice himself in order to assassinate Qian Chongwen, and of course he could not sacrifice the "Thieves Trio", neither of them.

Therefore, the best time to assassinate is when Qian Chongwen gets off the car in front of the temple and enters the gate of the temple, or after leaving the temple and getting on the car.

Second, close range assassination is not feasible.

Qian Chongwen must be surrounded by front and back, and there are many guards, and it is impossible to escape from a close-range assassination.

Third, there are no firearms.

Long-distance assassination is only possible with a sniper rifle.

There was a sniper rifle, and it was brought to Shanghai by Liu Ermeng. This time, he didn't dare to bring it because he was afraid of being interrogated on the road.Not to mention that the sniper rifle was not brought, nor was the pistol.

Fourth, and most importantly, no one knew Qian Chongwen.

It is easier said than done to overcome these four difficulties.

Lin Chuang stood up and paced back and forth in the room habitually.

"Sir, do you need to bother so much?" Seeing this, Li Honglin asked quickly, knowing that his husband was in trouble.

"Oh? Do you have a good idea?" Lin Chuang asked.

"I'm going to get a long gun. I'm lurking on the cold mountain tonight. Qian Chongwen got out of the car, shot him from a distance, and then hid in the mountain. Where can I find it?" Li Honglin said.

"It's a good way." Yi Lianhua said after hearing the words.

Liu Ermeng also nodded, and added: "Sniper rifle."

"Hahaha, you guys take it for granted. Is Hanshan Temple on the mountain?" Lin Chuang couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't it called Hanshan Temple on the mountain?" Li Honglin asked.

"Hanshan Temple is not on the mountain, but on flat ground. There is nothing around the temple except the river branch." Lin Chuang said.

"Ah? I thought it was on the mountain." Li Honglin said.

Helpless, Lin Chuang had to popularize historical knowledge to these three "heroes".

He asked Yi Lianhua to take out the pen and paper, and while drawing the floor plan of Hanshan Temple on the paper, he explained:

"Hanshan Temple was first built in the Liang Dynasty by a man named Hanshan, so it is called Hanshan Temple, not because it was built on Hanshan Mountain.

The reason why Hanshan Temple is famous all over the world is because of a poem "Night Mooring at Fengqiao" written by Zhang Ji, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the midnight bells to the passenger ship. '"

"Oh, so that's the case." Li Honglin said.

"This poem sounds nice." Yi Lianhua said.

"That's why Hanshan Temple became famous all over the world because of the popularity of this poem. Not only Hanshan Temple, but also Fengqiao, Yebochu, and Tieling Pass have all become scenic spots..." At this point, Lin Chuang paused suddenly.

Yi Lianhua, Li Honglin and Liu Ermeng saw that their husband was still showing off his knowledge just now, how did they stop?
Li Honglin just wanted to ask, but Yi Lianhua stopped him with a wink.

She naturally knew that her husband had a whimsical idea and could not be disturbed.

Sure enough, Lin Chuang paused for a moment, drew two circles on the paper, filled in the circles with "Maple Bridge" and "Tieling Pass" respectively, drew a river, and wrote on the other side of the river: A "car" character, and then put down the pen, said: "Yes!"

Seeing Lin Chuangxi's eyebrows raised, Yi Lianhua hurriedly asked, "Sir, do you have a plan?"

"Yes, listen to me." Lin Chuang pointed to the picture and said, "Qian Chongwen is a calligrapher, a political commentator, and a literati at heart. Fengqiao is connected to Tieling Pass, so we choose to attack here."

"What if he just doesn't go?" Li Honglin challenged.

"You don't understand the minds of literati. They like to experience what the ancients thought at that time. Zhang Ji wrote this famous poem at Yebo. Now that Qian Chongwen has arrived at Hanshan Temple, it is impossible not to go to Fengqiao to experience it. Zhang Ji's mood at that time." Lin Chuang said.

"Not necessarily." Li Honglin shook his head: "What if he doesn't go to Fengqiao for safety reasons? Besides, he is a calligrapher, not a poet. It's understandable to go to the stele corridor, to experience The mood of the ancients when they wrote poems, is it necessary? Anyway, if it were me, I would not go."

"Yes, what brother said is reasonable. Sir, although your judgment is 90.00% possible, what what brother said is not impossible at all. If he just won't go, shouldn't we be caught blind?" Yi Lianhua said.
