Agents of the Republic of China

After Ding Shijun was inexplicably killed in the Great World Nightclub, it immediately spread to every corner of Shanghai Bund.On the one hand, Ding Shijun is the section chief of No. 76. Although he is not a key department, he is a senior cadre after all;

Because of the dominance of No. 76, Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun have been fighting fiercely for many years. It was not until recently that Ding Mocun was completely defeated in the battle for the Minister of Police. The position of the person is firmly in his hands.The conflict between the two began to come to the fore.

The killing of Ding Shijun completely intensified the conflict between the two. Even Wang Jingwei, who was far away in Nanjing, was alarmed. He sent Zhou Fohai overnight to mediate between Ding and Li.But Zhou Fohai never saw Ding Mocun's face. His family members said that he had rushed back to Shanghai to take care of Ding Shijun's funeral.Zhou Fohai secretly thought something was wrong, so before he had time to ask Wang Jingwei for leave, he boarded the train bound for Shanghai at night.

At this time, Shanghai was already full of rumors, and no one paid attention to the news that Li Shiqun had gone all out to deal with Lin Xiaotang before. Instead, Ding Mocun returned to Shanghai to attend the funeral of his younger brother Ding Shijun, and there were speculations about what kind of struggle Ding and Li would break out.Some good people have even connected the assassination of Li Shiqun at the Shanghai Railway Station not long ago, and Shanghai has become the focus of the enemy-occupied area and even the whole country for a while.

But Ding Shijun's cause of death is really strange.First of all, those who had disputes with Ding Shijun and others that night had all been arrested by the gendarmerie. I can feel it clearly, nothing out of the ordinary, it was purely a dispute caused by drunkenness that night.Secondly, the identity of the murderer. The murderer is a White Russian who has been in the concession for a long time and has maintained a good relationship with the church. This makes the Japanese feel troublesome. Although this foreigner named Carat is only a White Russian, he is a foreigner after all. However, in the current situation, the Japanese and the puppet government have to be careful when people from any country are involved.

Zhou Fohai arrived in Shanghai under such circumstances.

As soon as he got off the train, Zhou Fohai was surrounded by all-pervasive reporters. Li Shiqun got the news and came to the train station to greet him in person, but he didn't dare to enter the station, but sent a large number of his men to closely protect Zhou Fohai.

After getting into Li Shiqun's car, the driver was about to start the car, but Zhou Fohai stopped him and ordered him to get out of the car and wait.After the driver got out of the car, Li Shiqun's subordinates surrounded the car, leaving only him and Zhou Fohai in the car.

Zhou Fohai stabbed the floor of the car with the civilized stick in his hand, "Scholar, you are crazy, how can you assassinate Ding Shijun at this time?"

Li Shiqun obviously didn't expect Zhou Fohai to ask such a question as soon as he got in the car, and he immediately became angry, "According to your opinion, allow him to be the first grader in Dingmo Village, but not Li Shiqun to be the fifteenth grader?"

One sentence choked Zhou Fohai for quite a while, his face turned green and red, Li Shiqun felt something was wrong as soon as he said it, but at this moment he couldn't take it back, so he had to shut his mouth embarrassingly, and the two of them talked together. Time fell into an awkward silence.

For Li Shiqun, Zhou Fohai has always maintained a high degree of vigilance, because through contacts, he has become more and more aware of this person's extraordinary ambitions.He and Li Shiqun teamed up to get rid of Ding Mocun's police chief. Zhou Fohai had selfish intentions. In the current pseudo-government, he can be said to have one person under one man and over ten thousand people. He was particularly favored by the Japanese, and even handed over the position of the head of No. 76 to him, and then even planned to help him to the post of Minister of Police. Then, whether to push him forward is subject to the committee or the Executive Yuan Woolen cloth?

In order to eliminate the potential threat of Dingmo Village, Zhou Fohai agreed to Li Shiqun's alliance request, and together with him secretly dealt with Dingmo Village, successfully pulling him down.

But then Zhou Fohai realized his stupidity.On the surface, this strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves temporarily weakened the strength and influence of Ding Mocun, but he discovered that Li Shiqun, his close ally before, seemed to be a more formidable opponent than Ding Mocun.

Dingmo Village belonged to the outsiders in the Nanjing puppet government, with limited foundation.But Li Shiqun is the leader of the secret agents carefully selected by the Japanese at a high price. His backer is not Wang Jingwei or Zhou Fohai, but behind him are giants such as the Japanese Garrison Army and the Mei Agency.In a Ding Mo village, Zhou Fohai can handle it with ease, but Li Shiqun is not the same.Over the years, he has used the special position of No. 76 to fight fiercely with the Japanese stationed in the army and the Mei Agency.

When Ding Mocun was on the 76th, at least he still had scruples and restraints, but when Ding Mocun left, his ambition was fully exposed.Li Shiqun actually wanted to follow Ding Mocun's footsteps and seek the post of Minister of Police.Zhou Fohai absolutely cannot allow this.

Therefore, Zhou Fohai quickly took measures and ran up and down to completely shatter Li Shiqun's thoughts. At the same time, he was also given a warning. As long as you, Li Shiqun, are in the Nanjing government for one day, you will always follow behind me, Zhou Fohai.

However, Zhou Fohai also understood that if he could suppress this time, what about the second and third time?You know, behind Li Shiqun is the Japanese, once he has full wings and wants to use the power of the Japanese to spread his wings and fly high, he, Zhou Fohai, will never be able to resist.

This made Zhou Fohai worried.

Looking sideways at Li Shiqun beside him, Zhou Fohai sighed, and opened his mouth first, "Shiqun, you are a little too reckless in doing this. After all, Ding Shijun is Ding Mocun's biological brother. If you do this, you will let Mr. Wang How do you talk to me?"

Li Shiqun replied bluntly, "There is no need to make things difficult, just handle it impartially!"

One sentence made Zhou Fohai tremble all over, and he stabbed the civilized stick a few times, his voice became a little trembling, "Okay! Good! Good!"

After speaking, he unscrewed the door, turned around and got out of the car. Under the protection of a group of bodyguards, he took another car and left.

Li Shiqun watched the back of the convoy disappear into the night through the car window, and the only bit of annoyance he had had disappeared in an instant, replaced by more intense hatred and disdain.

……

White flags and white lanterns have been hung in front of the gate of Ding's house in Shanghai, and the servants who come and go have also changed into mourning clothes.

Since Ding Shijun was killed last night, the Ding family was in chaos in an instant. The old and the young didn't know what to do except to wash their faces with tears.Several nephews of the Ding family ran to the gendarmerie headquarters and begged Sasaki to punish the murderer severely, but they didn't even see his face.The crowd had no choice but to take back Ding Shijun's body, ready to be buried.Fortunately, after Ding Mocun got the news, he set off from Nanjing overnight and finally rushed back to Shanghai in the early hours of the morning.

Ding Mocun had just rushed back to Nanjing from Shanghai not long ago. When he got the bad news this time, he immediately passed out. As soon as he woke up, he rushed back to Shanghai with his people regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates.

Looking at his younger brother's remains, Ding Mocun was heartbroken. Like a robot, he changed into mourning clothes under the service of his servants. Ding Mocun inspected and rested for two hours before Ding Mocun finally got over his breath, but he did not shed a single tear from the beginning to the end.

It was six o'clock in the morning, and the sky was bright.The servants outside came to report, and someone came to express their condolences.

Ding Mocun was taken aback, and looked at his watch. He didn't expect that someone would come to express his condolences so early. He had never encountered such courtesy and respect since he was kicked out of No. 76.

Ding Mocun wiped his face and ran to the front hall in a hurry, only to find that it was Lin Xiaotang and Zhuang Chongxian who came hand in hand, he was relieved and exchanged glances with them.

"So it's Brother Chongxian and Boss Lin!" Ding Mocun took a few steps forward to thank him.

Lin Xiaotang and Zhuang Chong first saluted in the mourning hall, and after offering incense, Ding Mocun led them to the study.

After the servant served the tea, he silently closed the door and retreated out.

It was already May weather, and after the door was closed, the room suddenly felt a little stuffy, but the three of them didn't take it to heart, and went straight to the topic.

"Brother Chongxian, how is it? Is there any news?" Ding Mocun asked Zhuang Chongxian directly.

Zhuang Chong put down his teacup first, and nodded, "There is no need to say any more polite words between the three of us. After your younger brother's accident, I sent people to investigate as soon as I got the news, but there was still no specific news. But Yuzhong's place is a bit unusual. discovery."

"Oh?" Ding Mocun's eager eyes immediately turned to Lin Xiaotang.

"That's right!" Lin Xiaotang sat up straight, and said word by word: "My subordinates found a guy who used to belong to Zhang Xiaolin in the casino. Haunted around Sichuan Road, because this guy is very courageous and has the unique skill of picking locks with one hand, so he became an outside line for Wu Sibao and others, and he often did some corners, such as stealing cars, blackmailing and so on."

"The day before yesterday afternoon, this person came to my casino. The strange thing is that he suddenly became more generous. Not only did he pay off his previous debts, but he also seemed to have a lot of money in his hand. My subordinates paid attention and found him There is a deal with a foreigner in the church, but I don’t know what it is. After my brother’s accident, I managed to get it. The photo of the foreigner named Carat was shown to the men who watched them that day, and I can be sure that it is the murderer. !"

Ding Mocun stood up all of a sudden, and his bloodshot eyes immediately projected a strong murderous look, "Where is this person now?"
