The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 434: Military Control Commission’s Revenge

Wanlilang's betrayal.

In addition to evacuating relevant personnel who might be exposed, the Military Control Commission naturally had to retaliate.

As soon as the news reached Cheng Mo's ears, the revenge of the Military Control Commission followed. Zhao Gangyi, the captain of the No. 76 Third Action Team, was also a former member of the Military Control Commission.

At the entrance of the performing arts department of Daxin Company on Nanjing Road in the Public Concession, he was encountered by the assassination team of the Military Control Commission and was shot five times, dying on the spot.

Daxin Company is within the jurisdiction of Laozha Police Station, so this case is naturally the responsibility of Laozha Police Station. Murder is a criminal case, but the person who died is No. 76. The criminal unit is obviously incapable of investigating such cases, so the case can only be transferred to the political unit.

As soon as Cheng Mo saw the case, he knew it was the work of the Military Control Commission. Moreover, the gunman quickly dispersed after the assassination. Even though the street patrol arrived at the scene quickly, they were unable to catch the gunman.

There are too many unsolved cases like this. In September, the traitors Wang Yongkui and Liu Yong were shot dead at the "Zhimei Building" on Simalu. Last month, near Tianchan Stage, Li Ruzhang, the general director of the Shanghai Refugee Children's Educators...

These are just the more famous cases. We don’t even know how many other petty traitors of little reputation have been sanctioned.

People like this are dead and it's good enough if they can remain popular for three days. After that, basically no one cares about them.

The Laozha Police Station has a large backlog of cases like this, but only a few have been solved. It's not that the police officers in the Laozha Police Station are incompetent, but the people who committed these cases are not something the police station can deal with. If they are not careful, they may not only fail to solve the case, but also lose their lives.

Therefore, where the case is and when it will be solved depends on luck. If you are lucky, the case will be solved by others. If you are unlucky, the case will remain unsolved.

However, on-site investigation still needs to be done.

The person died, and after the autopsy, he was taken back by No. 76.

The pistol used to shoot Zhao Gangyi was a common item, easy to obtain, and in large quantities. As for the bullets, they were also common, so we could compare them to see if there was any gun registered in the police station before. If so, we could handle the two cases together.

If not, then we will open another file. The procedures still need to be done, but how to conduct the follow-up investigation and what can be found is another matter.

In cases like these, the victims of the murders all understand what happened and generally won’t bother the police station or anything like that.

"Boss, the bullets have been matched and it turns out that they were committed by the same group of people as the shooting that occurred in Zhimei Building on September 9." Xu Qinghe took the report to Cheng Mo's office and reported it.

"Sure?"

"That's right. Zhao Gangyi was shot five times. Two of the bullets were exactly the same as those in the Zhimeilou shooting case. They were fired from the same gun," Xu Qinghe explained.

"Have you interviewed any witnesses?"

"I asked a few people, but most of them said they didn't see their faces clearly. However, there were five people in Zhimeilou that time, but only three this time. They were very skilled and had a complete grasp of the victim's whereabouts. They also dispersed when they retreated. After the attack, they left quickly, not giving us time to react. By the time our patrol officers heard the gunshots and rushed over, the people were gone."

The KMT's street assassination techniques have grown rapidly. If they don't make any further progress, they will become a hopeless pile of mud.

Now, at the scene, it is basically difficult to catch the Military Control Commission's gunmen, unless they are unlucky and get entangled, or are injured and unable to escape.

On the contrary, the people in No. 76 were often arrested by the police station for sabotage and misconduct.

"See if we can come up with a profile of the murderer and issue a wanted order." Cheng Mo ordered, "Also, the murderer was able to accurately grasp the whereabouts of the victim, and then set an ambush accurately and escaped with one strike. Is there a leak of information here? Send a letter to No. 76 and ask them to investigate and give us a reply." "Will No. 76 provide us with clues?"

"No matter what, if they don't provide any clues, we won't be able to solve the case. The death of No. 76 definitely wasn't due to any personal grudges, so they can't do anything to us." Cheng Mo said. They would just be arguing with each other anyway. No. 76 definitely didn't want his secrets to be leaked, so naturally he wouldn't provide any clues to the police station. As for the police station, the person who died wasn't an ordinary person, so as long as it didn't affect their own interests, they would be too lazy to investigate.

Besides, investigating the case would not only offend the Military Control Commission, but there would be no benefits and only risks. Only a fool would dare to do that.

You have to do a good job of presenting yourself, at least so that people can't find fault with you.

"Christmas is finally here, and now I have to work overtime again." Xu Qinghe said helplessly.

"You're a Chinese, why are you celebrating Christmas? Get back to work!" Cheng Mo scolded with a smile. The British have a holiday on Christmas, but the Chinese don't. They still have to continue working.

……

The consequences of Wan Lilang's betrayal were greater than imagined. In addition to causing an action team to be almost wiped out, he also knew many secrets of the Military Control Commission. Once these secrets were mastered by No. 76, the impact on the Military Control Commission would be extremely great.

If No. 76 could master the organizational structure, communication methods, and various action plans of the Military Control Commission in Shanghai.

This will allow No. 76 to develop a response plan in advance, and even determine and analyze what the Military Control Commission will do next, and intercept or plan in advance.

When the enemy is familiar with all your tactics, you are at a disadvantage.

In addition, Zheng Xiuyuan, who escaped the disaster, also brought Shen Mo some bad news. Wan Lilang might know the existence of the hidden group "Dark Fire".

This is scary.

Wan Lilang is just the captain of an action team. How could he know such top-secret information? Even when Cao Lijun led the Shanghai district, very few people knew about the existence of "Dark Fire".

Of course, when "Dark Fire" was first established, it was affiliated with the Shanghai area for a period of time. It would not be surprising if someone in the Shanghai area knew about it, but the information of the "Dark Fire" members has always been kept confidential, and Cheng Mo also used a pseudonym in the Shanghai area.

However, Cheng Mo and Su Moer had both been in the youth training class, and although they both used pseudonyms, if any student in the youth training class betrayed the Military Control Commission and joined Unit 76.

As long as he saw him and Su Moer, he might recognize them.

Many people from the youth training class stayed in Shanghai, but the class itself was too short. He was only responsible for teaching and did not communicate much with the students. Moreover, in order to be able to stay in Shanghai and hide, he specially did disguise and makeup.

If he had not been prepared, the risk of staying in Shanghai would have been very high, because once he became a public figure and was seen, the risk of exposure would increase a hundredfold.

However, in the past two years, Dai Yunong has gradually withdrawn the youth training class students who remained in Shanghai.

Firstly, these people will serve as seeds to serve as instructors or work in other cities. Secondly, Cheng Mo's role is becoming more and more important, and he must ensure his safety. As long as Cheng Mo is not exposed, the information obtained from him will be much more than that from those people.

Wan Lilang has stayed in the Shanghai area for a long time, and has been there since the Battle of Shanghai, so it is very likely that he knows something about the "Dark Fire".
