Agents of the Republic of China

Lin'an is located in Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province, bordering Yuhang, Hangzhou to the east, Tonglu and Chun'an to the south, and Anhui to the west and north.Since the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, there have been a large number of stragglers wandering here, either standing on the top of the mountain, occupying the mountain as king, or hiding in the mountains, constantly harassing the strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops.

After the Battle of Wuhan, the military command sent a large number of personnel to go deep into this area to guide and command the anti-Japanese activities behind the enemy lines. In the frantic counterattack of the Japanese and puppets, a considerable part of their vitality was lost, and then they fell into a state of depression.

After Lin Xiaotang arrived in Lin'an, he checked into a hotel at the east gate of the county seat, which was next to the Japanese army station in Lin'an. Lin Xiaotang also took the time to visit the chief officer of the local garrison - Shaozuo Mukai.

Mukai is a fellow villager of Otani Kazuya, also from the [-]th Division. Before Lin Xiaotang came to Hangzhou, he was ordered by the Ministry of Finance with great fanfare. After Otani found out, he asked Lin Xiaotang to bring some gifts to Mukai.

Before that, Lin Xiaotang received a warning message from Jan Sen after the conflict with Wan Lilang and the monk in Hangzhou.Jason told him that two people had already followed their whereabouts, but the strange thing was that these two people didn't seem to be in the same way.Jason asked Lin Xiaotang to be careful, because the two men are not bad in skills, and one of them has obviously received professional military training.

This made Lin Xiaotang very surprised. Could it be that Zhang Xiaolin or No. 76, or Dai Li's subordinates, wanted to use the opportunity of leaving Shanghai to carry out the assassination.But there is no reason. No. 76 is trying his best to deal with the Chongqing side, and he has no other skills. If he wants to do something to him, he can only use people from Hangzhou. But wasn't Wan Lilang's previous conflict with him just to scare the snake away?There is absolutely no need to do this!As for Zhang Xiaolin, it is unlikely. Although he is domineering and ambitious, he is not a fool. Lin Xiaotang has a good relationship with Nanjing in all aspects, and he has evidence in his hand that he embezzled military expenses behind the Japanese's back. It is unwise to do so at this time.Unless it was the monk who wanted to kill him behind Zhang Xiaolin's back.

After much deliberation, Lin Xiaotang still didn't get an answer, so he simply stopped thinking about it.Based on safety considerations, he chose to live near the Japanese military camp, and even visited Mukai personally.

Mukai was very surprised by Lin Xiaotang's visit, but after seeing the various gifts brought by Lin Xiaotang, the surprise turned into a surprise.He didn't expect that Da Guhe would still remember him as a colleague, and he never expected that Da Gu's shots would be so generous.In fact, most of the gifts were sent by Lin Xiaotang under the guise of Da Gu.

Ever since Otani was forced to obey Lin Xiaotang's arrangement, he initially showed some resistance. As a Japanese soldier, he felt that being coerced was always a form of humiliation, but when he saw the generous rewards, his heart immediately came A 180-degree turn.The unique merchant mentality of Osaka people swept away the disappointment and resistance in his heart.

What surprised Otani the most was that the thing he was worried about never happened. To this day, Lin Xiaotang never asked him about the trend of the Japanese army's intelligence. This made Dagu unconsciously let go of his vigilance and vigilance, and began to cooperate with Lin Xiaotang wholeheartedly.

This made Lin Xiaotang sneer secretly in his heart, "boil the frog in warm water" began to work.

Longsheng registered in Nanjing, the Japanese shares in it come from Otani's hometown Osaka. Otani, who was born in a family of merchants, quickly found the Hashimoto family who was closely related to his family, and they came forward to cooperate with Lin Xiaotang. Retreat behind the scenes.The Hashimoto family is not a well-known family in Osaka, but they started out as a speculative business, so when Otani offered an olive branch, they quickly made a decision to invest.But their funds are really limited, and they can only occupy a small part of the shares in Longsheng at present.Of course, this is what Lin Xiaotang is happy to see, because he only wants to use the Hashimoto family's Japanese background, and when the use is completed, he will trample it to pieces without hesitation.

Because of the gift, Mukai and Lin Xiaotang "hit it off" and forced Lin Xiaotang to have dinner at his residence.During the banquet, Lin Xiaotang inquired about the battle near Lin'an from the side, and Mukai couldn't help but sighed. It turned out that the area around Tianmu Mountain was criss-crossed, and it was the junction of the two provinces, with high mountains and dense forests, so the anti-Japanese armed forces were very active here. .However, the Japanese army had limited forces, so they could only stick to Lin'an County, and all the places outside the county were handed over to the puppet army for garrison.At present, the most active armed force in the Tianmu Mountain area is led by a man named "Raytheon". The war is chaotic.

Lin Xiaotang also vaguely mentioned that he had made many enemies in Shanghai, and when he came to Lin'an, he found that someone was following him, and deliberately pretended to be frightened.With a big wave of his hand, Mukai immediately promised to guarantee Lin Xiaotang's safety in Lin'an.Lin Xiaotang naturally thanked him repeatedly, and the host and guest parted happily.

……

In the middle of the night, the monk wore a black cloth on his head and came out of the residence with three of his subordinates furtively. They came to the hotel where Lin Xiaotang and others were staying. Entered the hotel over the wall.

A subordinate who had already stayed in the hotel was hiding in the dark place of the backyard. When he saw the monk and others making an appointment, he hurried forward, "Brother!"

The monk hurriedly motioned him to lower his voice, and they hid in the corner of the corridor, "Have you found out everything?"

"I figured it all out. The person surnamed Lin lives in the upper room in the last courtyard. It's a separate courtyard. I just came back an hour ago, and I'm already asleep at this time. It's safe!"

The monk nodded, and a strong killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. "Okay, let's do it right away, I'll watch out for you outside the yard, be quick, and when it's done, everyone will get rich!"

……

Seeing his subordinates sneaking into the courtyard slowly, the monk was still a little worried, so he also sneaked into the courtyard, hiding behind the crowd, quietly observing.

Several subordinates approached the wing where Lin Xiaotang lived, holding pistols tightly in their hands.

Jason lay silently on the eaves, looking coldly at the shadow below, with a throwing knife clasped tightly in his hand.

Suddenly, one of his subordinates seemed to have stepped on something, and his body tilted. Immediately afterwards, a black figure burst out, the light of the knife in his hand flickered, and a blood mist bloomed without warning. His hands were taken aback.

The black shadow didn't stop at all, its figure was like a ghost, and after a few turns, several clusters of blood mist spewed out, several of the monk's subordinates immediately fell silent, and fell to the ground one after another.

At this moment, the monk came to his senses, and in shock, he fired two shots at the black shadow. Unexpectedly, there was someone hiding behind him, the black shadow trembled, and was shot in the arm.

All the people in the yard were startled, and all the lights were turned on in an instant, and the small courtyard was immediately surrounded by bright lights, and the black shadows who killed several of the monk's subordinates were also completely exposed to the lights.He was thin, with only two eyes protruding from the outside, and there was a strong strange aura all over his body.

The black shadow looked at the wound on his arm, muttered something, and then looked at the monk, who was stared at by his cold eyes, couldn't help shivering, turned around and ran away.

At this time, Lin Xiaotang's subordinates had already rushed out, and they were taken aback when they saw the situation in the yard.

The monk just ran across the shadow wall of the courtyard and almost bumped into a person. When he took a closer look, it was still those cold eyes.The monk was suddenly frightened, so he gritted his teeth and pointed his gun at the shadow.

The black figure swayed slightly, and he didn't see how he shot at all. The monk's wrist was nailed by two hidden weapons that looked like barbed wire, and the pistol fell to the ground.

Heiying stood straight in front of him, and said disdainfully, "What a pity! I met you idiots!"

The monk was holding his injured wrist, and he could hear clearly. He had dealt with the Japanese a lot with Zhang Xiaolin, and he could tell that the man spoke pure Japanese.

As soon as Heiying finished speaking, a long and narrow steel knife suddenly appeared in his hand, and the blade stabbed viciously at the monk.

The monk couldn't dodge in time, so he had to close his eyes.

But Jason's throwing knife flew over at this moment, hitting the back of Sombra's hand, and the steel knife was released from his hand, but it didn't hit the ground. Sombra jumped lightly with his toes, and the steel knife returned to his left hand.

Heiying was about to kill again, but the monk had already been grabbed by the collar of his clothes by Huoyan, and he was dragged back to the yard forcefully, and two of his men held him down.The black shadow was helpless, stomped his feet and jumped onto the wall, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Huoyan was about to chase after him, but Jason's voice came from the wall, "Leave him to me, you protect Mr. Lin!"

Hearing this, Huoyan stopped, and escorted the monk into the wing with his men.

Lin Xiaotang didn't take a rest. Ever since he received Jason's warning message, he was fully prepared. His gun and short knife were all within easy reach of his pillow, and Huoyan and Jiaoda were close at hand.

Lin Xiaotang saw the monk and smiled, "Is it really you? What, you want to kill me?"

The monk struggled twice, "My surname is Lin, I'm unlucky today. Damn, who knows why another killer appeared. But, let me tell you, if you offend the Japanese, you won't be arrogant for a few days!"

"Japanese? You said that was Japanese just now?" Lin Xiaotang stood up and walked in front of the monk.

The monk laughed hysterically, "It's not just the Japanese, there is another person who is also following you. He is more terrifying than the Japanese. As long as you are targeted by him, you will definitely die, hahaha!"

There was a familiar gunshot in the dark night, and the monk's laughter stopped abruptly. He fell to the ground as if he had been hit hard.
