Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 266 "Kill Order"

Later, under the introduction of Shimizu Saburo, the secretary of the Japanese Embassy, ​​Ding Mocun and Li Qun met with the Japanese spy chief Doiyuan at Hongkou Chongguangtang. Finally, they impressed the Japanese with the "List of Anti-Japanese Groups in Shanghai" and the "Shanghai Agent Plan", and obtained funding from the Japanese spy agency. With the support of Doiyuan's assistant Haruki Hisanobu, they established an agent organization.

On March 1939, 3, the pseudo-spy organization was officially established at No. 1 Jisifei Road, west Shanghai.

After the establishment of No. 76, taking advantage of Ding Mocun and Li Qun's connections in the Central Bureau of Investigation, the two lured many rebellious agents of the Central Bureau of Investigation to join them. Their first move was to strike at the White Party's hidden organizations in Shanghai, such as the Military Bureau of Investigation and the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Ding Mocun was reported by Dai Chunfeng, so the first shot of No. 76 would naturally be directed at the Military Control Commission. At this time, an agent from the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station had been targeted by them.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Wu, there is one more thing. Take a look at this." Xiaohui handed a newspaper to Yang Xuewu.

The headline in the newspaper was: "He Xingjian, deputy commander-in-chief of the White Party's Loyal and Patriotic Army, led tens of thousands of troops to surrender to the Japanese army in southern Jiangsu."

Seeing this title, Yang Xuewu's expression suddenly became serious. The Loyal and Patriotic Army was founded by Dai Chunfeng. Its predecessor was the special forces founded by Dai Chunfeng in Shanghai. Yang Xuewu also sent a large number of weapons and ammunition to the special forces.

He also knew He Xingjian, but he didn't expect that He Xingjian would actually defect to the Japanese.

He Xingjian graduated from the second class of Whampoa Military Academy and was the favorite student of Green Gang leader Du Sheng. Like his master Du Sheng, he was aggressive, good at playing with fire, and fierce in fighting. He was also resourceful, patient, tenacious, and overbearing without showing it.

He has connections in both the black and white worlds, and is adept at moving between the business, military and political circles. He has also extended his tentacles into finance, industry, journalism, education and many other fields. He is a very capable person.

Moreover, He Xingjian not only surrendered himself, but also surrendered with tens of thousands of loyal and patriotic soldiers. He was the first senior White Party general to surrender to the enemy after the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, and also the White Party general with the largest number of surrenders at one time.

After He Xingjian surrendered to the enemy, he was immediately appointed by the Japanese as the Lieutenant General Commander-in-Chief of the Second Route of the "Anti-Communist National Salvation Army", gaining both fame and fortune.

After He Xingjian led his troops to surrender to the Japanese army, the Loyal and Patriotic Army in the Songhu area immediately fell apart, the morale of the troops was low, causing extremely bad consequences.

This adverse influence not only affected the Military Control Commission and the White Party, but also undermined the determination of the people across the country to resist Japan.

After reading the newspaper, Yang Xuewu had only one thought, that is, He Xingjian must die. The longer it is delayed, the worse the impact will be.

"Brother Wu, according to the information we found, He Xingjian has been taken to Shanghai by the Japanese. We want to kill him, but we can't even find out where he is. The Japanese are protecting him very strictly."

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu nodded and said, "I understand. Leave this person to me. I will get rid of him."

After leaving the Anti-Japanese Anti-Traitor Group base, Yang Xuewu came to Tan Wenxia. He felt that after He Xingjian's betrayal, Dai Chunfeng would give him a task.

Things turned out just as he expected. When he met Tan Wenxia, ​​she immediately handed him a telegram.

The telegram was sent to him by Dai Chunfeng personally, asking Yang Xuewu to "kill him at all costs to serve as a warning to others" in an attempt to stop this evil trend of surrendering to the enemy.

In fact, Dai Chunfeng had already issued a "kill order" to the Shanghai Station to kill He Xingjian, but the Shanghai Station encountered the same problem as Xiaohui and his team. They couldn't find where He Xingjian was, let alone assassinate him.

As a last resort, Dai Chunfeng could only send the telegram to Yang Xuewu, asking Yang Xuewu to get rid of the bastard He Xingjian.

He Xingjian's rebellion had a particularly great impact on Dai Chunfeng, because He Xingjian belonged to the Military Control Commission. When Dai Chunfeng learned that He Xingjian had rebelled with tens of thousands of people, she was so angry that she vowed to kill He Xingjian.

After receiving the telegram, Yang Xuewu did not dare to delay. He had to kill He Xingjian as quickly as possible. If He Xingjian was allowed to continue living a carefree life, more people would be influenced by him and defect to the Japanese.

Yang Xuewu then came to Fengwei Tower and asked Chu Xin to help find He Xingjian's whereabouts.

After leaving Fengwei Tower, Yang Xuewu changed his face and came to Hongkou. He was going to meet an old friend tonight. He had been busy during this period and had not seen that old friend for a long time. It was easy to guess who his old friend was. He was the Special High Section agent Yoshino Ichiro who was turned by him, codenamed "Steel Knife".

Yang Xuewu was not clear about Yoshino Ichiro's recent situation, but he believed that as long as he met Yoshino Ichiro, Yoshino Ichiro would immediately become his most loyal dog, and he was not afraid of this dog biting him.

After sneaking into Yoshino Ichiro's residence, Yang Xuewu casually observed and found that Yoshino Ichiro had not moved and was still living here.

This saved Yang Xuewu a lot of effort, as he could just wait in Yoshino Ichiro's room for Yoshino Ichiro to come home.

When it was 8 o'clock in the evening, Ichiro Yoshino staggered into the house.

Seeing Yoshino Ichiro's appearance through the window, Yang Xuewu was sure that Yoshino Ichiro was drinking.

After entering the room, Ichiro Yoshino did not notice Yang Xuewu's presence at first, but as an agent, he still possessed the most basic qualities of an agent and soon discovered something was wrong because he found that the things on the table in his room had been moved.

"Who?" Ichiro Yoshino stood up cautiously, said to the room, and his hand slowly moved to his waist.

At this moment, Ichiro Yoshino's body trembled because he found someone grabbed his hand from behind as he was about to draw his gun.

"Yoshino, long time no see!"

Yang Xuewu's face appeared in front of Yoshino Ichiro. Seeing Yang Xuewu, Yoshino Ichiro was a little frightened, but then he relaxed. He knew that Yang Xuewu would not do anything bad to him, otherwise he would not be alive now.

"Mr. Yang, you're here!" Yoshino Ichiro said in surprise.

Ichiro Yoshino can't explain the relationship between him and Yang Xuewu. On the one hand, he is afraid that Yang Xuewu will appear, and on the other hand, he is afraid that his identity will be exposed. He needs Yang Xuewu, but he is also afraid of Yang Xuewu. It can be said that his reaction to seeing Yang Xuewu was both surprise and joy.

"Why are you drinking?" Yang Xuewu asked.

Upon hearing this, Ichiro Yoshino asked Yang Xuewu to sit down and talked about his drinking tonight.

In fact, it was not Ichiro Yoshino who took the initiative to drink, but Li Qun from No. 76 who invited him to drink. Of course, he was not the only one invited. Li Qun mainly invited Ono Akira, and he was just a bystander.

"Why did Li Qun invite you to drink?"

Upon hearing this, Yoshino Ichiro replied, "Mr. Yang, Li Qun's Unit 76 needs our support from the Special High Section. The work of Unit 76 is mainly the responsibility of Ono Akira. I am the captain under Ono Akira, so he invited us to drink."

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu nodded. Li Qun invited him to drink tonight in order to curry favor with the Japanese. This was in line with his personality. Li Qun was very good at currying favor with people, otherwise No. 76 would not have been handed over to him and Li Mocun. Moreover, Ding Mocun was only brought in by Li Qun to act as a stabilizer, and the real power of No. 76 was in his hands. "Help me collect information about Li Qun in the future. I will kill this person sooner or later." After listening to Yoshino Ichiro's words, Yang Xuewu said.

Hearing this, Yoshino Ichiro nodded and said, "Mr. Yang, I understand. I will keep an eye on Li Qun's movements."

"Well, I'm not here for Li Qun tonight, but for a man named He Xingjian. Do you know his whereabouts?"

Hearing this, Yoshino Ichiro was surprised and said, "Mr. Yang, to be honest, among the people drinking with us tonight is He Xingjian, the person you are looking for."

"He Xingjian is also here for drinking tonight?" Yang Xuewu was also surprised. He didn't expect that it would be so easy to find out He Xingjian's whereabouts.

"Yes, this person was brought by Li Qun. He seemed to be very familiar with Li Qun. The two of them were talking and laughing at the table."

"Yoshino, Li Qun's whereabouts are not important for now. I need you to help me find out the whereabouts of He Xingjian as soon as possible. I need to kill this man as soon as possible."

"Mr. Yang, I understand. I will help you find out his whereabouts as soon as possible."

"That's good. This is my phone number. Call me directly if you have any news."

After leaving Ichiro Yoshino's house, Yang Xuewu went straight back to the Peace Hotel. He still felt that staying at the Peace Hotel was the most comfortable.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and that afternoon, the phone in Yang Xuewu's room rang.

"Hello, this is 'Steel Knife'. I have found out who he is. He often goes to the Zhaofeng Nightclub in Shanghai West." The voice of Ichiro Yoshino came from the receiver.

"'Knife Handle' understands." After saying that, Yang Xuewu hung up the phone. As for "Knife Handle", it was his code name, which was only used for communication between him and Yoshino Ichiro.

Although the land of China was filled with smoke of war and Japan's iron hoofs had trampled most of China at that time, the "isolated island" of Shanghai showed an abnormal prosperity, especially the "west Shanghai" area, which was full of lights, wine, women and singing and dancing.

He Xingjian is a dance fan. He particularly likes dancing and he likes to dance all night long. He is very excited and dances one dance after another. As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he indulged in the Zhaofeng Nightclub. Of course, because of his special identity, he would disguise himself when he went to the Zhaofeng Nightclub to dance, and he had many guards around him to protect him.

After receiving the message from Ichiro Yoshino, Yang Xuewu went to the Zhaofeng Nightclub that night. The Zhaofeng Nightclub was very lively, even more lively than the Paramount before the Anti-Japanese War.

After observing for a while, Yang Xuewu locked onto He Xingjian. Although He Xingjian was disguised, his disguise was useless in Yang Xuewu's eyes.

At this time, He Xingjian was dancing with several dancers. He Xingjian danced very well and had a good sense of rhythm. It could be seen that he was very happy. This might be why He Xingjian liked dancing, because dancing made him happy.

After observing for a while in the Zhaofeng Nightclub, Yang Xuewu left the Zhaofeng Nightclub quietly. He planned to take action against He Xingjian tonight.

He observed that He Xingjian had a total of six guards. Perhaps He Xingjian felt that his disguise was very clever, or he did not think that he would be assassinated here, so the guards were not strong.

Yang Xuewu would not miss such a good opportunity, and in order to truly serve as a warning to others, Yang Xuewu was prepared to directly sanction He Xingjian.

He Xingjian, who was partying in the Zhaofeng Nightclub at that time, had no idea that he would die on the spot soon.

It was past 2 a.m., and wave after wave of guests walked out of the Zhaofeng Nightclub.

When the time came to 3:10, He Xingjian, who had been partying all night, walked out of the door of Zhaofeng Nightclub with a smile on his face, hugging two dancers. The two dancers would spend the night with him.

He Xingjian was completely unprepared. At this moment, Yang Xuewu appeared in front of the Zhaofeng Nightclub on a bicycle.

When He Xingjian's guards felt that there was something wrong with the sudden appearance of Yang Xuewu, Yang Xuewu had already pulled out a gun and pointed it at He Xingjian.

With a "bang" sound, the bullet hit He Xingjian right in the middle of his eyebrows. When He Xingjian's guards wanted to draw their guns to defend themselves, Yang Xuewu quickly shot at them. The last guard who died had already drawn his gun and pointed it at Yang Xuewu, but his movements were much slower than Yang Xuewu's.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Yang Xuewu had already shot him in the head.

After killing several people, Yang Xuewu left the scene without any delay.

As soon as Yang Xuewu left, the two dancers at the scene were frightened silly and screamed in fear. Everyone in the Zhaofeng Nightclub ran out to watch the fun, and soon, the seven bodies were surrounded by people.

Soon after, the patrolling gendarmerie took over the scene and He Xingjian's identity was soon confirmed.

When the Japanese learned that the dead person was He Xingjian, they were furious. He Xingjian was very important to the Japanese. As the highest-ranking general of China who surrendered to Japan, he had the obligation to help the Japanese attract other Chinese generals to surrender to the Japanese. But now he was shot dead in public. If the Japanese could not find the murderer, who would dare to surrender to the Japanese in the future?

The Japanese gendarmerie handed the task of finding the murderer to the Shanghai Special High Technology Department, and ordered the Shanghai Special High Technology Department to find the murderer within three days.

After receiving the task, the Shanghai Special High Section, led by Ono Akira, arrived at the scene. Also present was Li Qun, the founder of the new spy organization No. 76.

After taking the dancer's statement and looking at the body, Ono Akira and Li Qun both had serious expressions.

"Ono-kun, the murderer is an expert. I've seen it. All seven bodies were killed with a single shot, and all were shot right between the eyebrows. According to the two dancers, the murderer shot very quickly, as if he didn't need to aim."

"My judgment is similar to yours. What do you think?" Ono Akira asked.

Hearing this, Li Qun thought for a moment and said, "The one who killed He Xingjian must be a member of the Military Control Commission. As far as I know, there is only one person in the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station who has this ability, and that is Wang Tianyi, the newly transferred deputy station chief of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station."

Hearing this, Ono Akira shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, Wang Tianyi may have this ability, but he is not the only one in Shanghai who has this ability. As far as I know, there is another person in Shanghai who has this ability."

"Oh, who is it?" Li Qun asked puzzledly.

"His name is Yang Xuewu, have you heard of him?"

"I've heard of him, but I don't know much about him. As far as I know, wasn't this person in Nanjing before? When did he come to Shanghai, and does he have the ability to act like this?" Li Qun didn't know much about Yang Xuewu. The reason he knew Yang Xuewu was because Yang Xuewu had a great reputation in arresting Japanese spies in Nanjing. As for later, he never heard the name Yang Xuewu again.
