The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 438: Just Injure
Most of the injured in the attack were sent to the Red Cross Hospital, and only the seriously injured were transferred to hospitals with higher medical standards.

This coming New Year's Day, number 76 is destined to have a hard time.

Christmas Eve, the 25th, happened to be a weekend. When I went to work the next day, all kinds of news came one after another, and the newspapers were full of reports.

All kinds of false news are flying around.

At the Monday morning meeting, Chief Patrolman York specifically emphasized that people should try to avoid conflicts with the people at No. 76 recently. These people are probably very angry now, so they should avoid conflicts.

Compromise and concession are the general tone of the concession.

This point is becoming increasingly obvious. The British no longer want to be the last one to compete with the Japanese. As long as their own interests are not harmed, that's enough.

With this kind of ostrich mentality, how can there be any heroism of the British Empire?

Britain’s status as a world hegemon is long gone.

"Boss, Jing'an Temple wants to borrow a team from us to help?"

"You can just handle this kind of small matter. You can lend it to others, but as long as you return it without any bumps or scratches, it'll be fine." Cheng Mo said.

"clear."

"Has the Xiangyunlou case been resolved? If not, close it quickly. It's a waste of talent to have our political department take care of such a jealous case!"

"Yes, boss."

A case in which a Japanese and a Chinese fought over a woman ended up being linked to the "anti-Japanese" movement, and this public security case turned into a political case.

This is nonsense!
"Boss, last night on Changsha Road, someone posted anti-Japanese slogans. Eyewitnesses said it was done by a few people in student uniforms..."

"Nonsense, how dare the students do this? It's because the Military Control Commission deliberately wore the students' clothes and wanted to lead us to cause trouble for the students. Can we touch these students? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble? You and I can't stop it."

"Don't cause any trouble for me. Just send someone to tear down the slogan. Less trouble is worse than more."

"Should we send someone to wait there for a few nights? What if we can catch him?"

"Of course I want this, but I think it's useless. These people are not stupid. Are they going to post it twice in the same place?"

"It's also..."

There are not so many big cases day by day, they are all trivial matters. As for catching anti-Japanese elements, Cheng Mo will not take the initiative. Unless the Japanese side provides clues and asks the Laozha Police Station to cooperate, he will arrange people to search and arrest.

However, if he encounters someone like that, he still has to harden his heart and arrest the person. There is no other way, he has to save face.

He was also an intelligence agent for the British intelligence group in the Far East, and he had several intelligence brokers that he had to keep an eye on. If he could keep an eye on these people, he would be invincible.

And now, he has one more job to do with Japan.

The British also need intelligence on Japan, but intelligence on Japan is the British's weak point. Cheng Mo can be regarded as a trump card in their hand.

On the third day after the attack, "Zhi Liao" Ma Hetu brought news that Chen Mingchu had died from his injuries in the attack.

Wan Lilang was lucky enough to survive, but he was also slightly injured and is being hospitalized in the Red Cross Hospital.

This is a good opportunity for assassination.

Although No. 76 arranged personnel to protect the hospital, the hospital was not No. 76's territory after all. If he really wanted to find loopholes, he could still do it. Wan Lilang knew a lot of secrets of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai District 76. He might not tell No. all the secrets he knew, so getting rid of this traitor now was the best thing for the Military Control Commission.

Wan Lilang knows Zheng Xiuyuan, which is an indirect threat to "Dark Fire", although "Dark Fire" has now taken the initiative to cut off contact with Shanghai District 1.

But even if there is a slight risk of being exposed, Cheng Mo wants to nip this trend in the bud.

But it is not an easy task to kill Wan Lilang when Agent 76 is surrounding him.

Entering a hospital to assassinate someone is naturally very difficult. Once exposed, there is a 99% chance that you will not be able to escape death.

The only solution is from the outside.

After observing the Red Cross Hospital for two consecutive days, Shen Mo discovered that Wan Lilang's wife would personally deliver meals to him every day at noon and in the evening.

Others can't see Wan Lilang, but as his wife, there is definitely no problem with that, and the agents from No. 76 won't search her either.

It is obviously impossible to instigate Wan Lilang's wife to kill her husband.

But he could poison the food he sent to Wanlilang, but in this case, Wanlilang's wife might be implicated.

Wan Lilang is a traitor, but his wife is not. If Wan Lilang is poisoned to death and it is found out that it was she who sent the food, she will definitely be arrested by No. 76 and tortured.

This is probably unavoidable.

At this moment, No. 76 might very well shoot the man to death in a rage.

Letting innocent people die in vain, even if the traitor Wan Lilang was killed, this was not what Cheng Mo wanted to see.

"Spread the word that the assassination attempt outside the Zhaofeng headquarters on the early morning of the 25th was aimed at the traitor Wan Lilang of the Military Control Commission. Chongqing has issued a kill order. The traitor Wan Lilang must be killed!" Cheng Mo ordered.

"Team Leader, why is this?"

"A Wanlilang may be very important to the Shanghai area, but it has not risen to the level of a must-kill order. But if Chongqing's must-kill order reaches the ears of No. 76, what will Ding and Lin think?" Cheng Mo asked.

"They will definitely think that Wanlilang has mastered very important information, and Wanlilang must have concealed some of this information!" Shen Mo said with a start.

"That's right. Wan Lilang is just an action team leader. Even if he knows something about our Dark Fire, it shouldn't be a particularly confidential matter. Otherwise, we would have been exposed long ago." Cheng Mo said, "So, the more intense our reaction is, the more likely it is that Wan Lilang has a huge secret. Using No. 76's knife to kill him is also a good choice."

"But he's just an operations captain. How can we convince No. 76 that he has a big secret in his mind?"

"Stab Woof!"

"If No. 76 fails to get any important secrets out of Wanlilang, then they will speculate that the purpose of the Military Control Commission's killing order is to cooperate with Wanlilang to infiltrate No. 76 and gain trust, and after gaining trust, it is to achieve the goal of 'assassinating Wang'." Shen Mo instantly figured out the key after Cheng Mo's reminder.

"So, if there's an assassination at the hospital, we have to make some arrangements."

"No, wait until Wanlilang is discharged from the hospital and then assassinate him. Assassinating him in the hospital is purely a suicide act." Cheng Mo shook his head.

"If there is a chance, should we just shoot him dead?"

"No, don't kill him, just injure him." Cheng Mo's eyes flickered. Maybe this Wanlilang can be used in the future.
