The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 445 Catastrophe
On the emergency operating table of Jiren Hospital.

As soon as the blood-stained man was lifted up, the shadowless light was turned on, ready to connect the instrument to monitor his vital signs...

But when the instrument was connected, there was a long bright line all the way to the end.

This means there are no signs of life.

There is no need for rescue.

The doctor immediately announced the death of the injured person.

Yu Yefeng is dead.

It will definitely shock Shanghai tomorrow. He is the relative of Zhang Xiaolin, one of the three tycoons. Zhang Xiaolin has now defected to the Japanese and is said to be the chairman of Zhejiang Province. Now his relative has been assassinated. How can this be tolerated?

The case happened in a different stage. Murder is a criminal case until it is clear whether it was a revenge killing or other reasons.

As the detective chief of the political department, Cheng Mo had no choice but to intervene.

The case was naturally taken over by the Criminal Division.

Chen Gongshu is really addicted to killing. Since taking over Shanghai District 1, he has been coming every few days to kill traitors in Shanghai, making everyone in Shanghai feel insecure.

The British did not make any more demands. After all, the Military Intelligence Bureau was only targeting traitors, as long as it did not attack Westerners and Japanese.

They don't need to bear too much pressure.

Besides, the situation is the same in the areas controlled by you Japanese. Can you still ask us British to fight against the Chongqing elements at the cost of our lives for you?

Although the British Empire implements a policy of appeasement, it still maintains diplomatic relations with Chongqing at the ambassadorial level and does not recognize the Nanjing Reform Government. Therefore, it is not your turn, a little Japanese, to teach me how to do things.

Of course, for the sake of their own safety and interests, it was necessary to suppress the anti-Japanese organizations and anti-Japanese thoughts within the concession. After all, the power of the Japanese directors in the Municipal Council was growing.

Yu Yefeng's death was a huge deterrent to many traitors in the concession. From now on, they should be more cautious.

Don't lose your life before you get rich.

The next morning, when Cheng Mo went to work, Xu Qinghe and Lu Le came to him together to report on the assassination of "Yu Yefeng".

"Last night, the Peking opera star Xin Yanqiu premiered Yu Tang Chun on Geng Stage. Yu Yefeng has a close relationship with Xin Yanqiu. In addition to attending the show himself, he also invited his relative Zhang Xiaolin to go with him. Zhang Xiaolin is also a Peking opera fan, so how could he not come when his relative invited him? Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaolin was called away shortly after the show started, and only his butler was in his box. After Xin Yanqiu finished her performance, Yu Yefeng came to look for Zhang Xiaolin, but the killer took advantage of the audience's disbanding and attacked. After the killer opened fire, he immediately rushed into the crowd and then fled."

"Yu Yefeng was assassinated when he went to Boss Zhang's box, right?"

"Yes."

"Then the gunman was most likely targeting Boss Zhang, and Boss Yu was probably used as a scapegoat for Boss Zhang," Cheng Mo analyzed.

"The boss is right. If Boss Zhang hadn't left early, I'm afraid Boss Yu wouldn't be the only one who died last night." Xu Qinghe nodded.

"I'm afraid this is his fate. He can't escape it."

"This case is supervised by Director Akagi, and Kitaro Miyamoto is in charge of the investigation."

"Ah?" This situation surprised Cheng Mo. If it was a Japanese case, it would be reasonable for Akagi Shinji to supervise it. But the dead was a traitor. According to the rules, it should be handed over to the Concession Police Chief Fang Hua for handling.

If it involves political murder, it can be handed over to the political unit for investigation and prosecution. Generally speaking, it will be handled by the criminal unit.

It was obviously against the rules for the Japanese to suddenly intervene in this case. Could there be some hidden agenda behind this?
This matter was passed so quickly, and it is obvious that the British also acquiesced.

"Boss, this case happened in our area. Should we ask the higher-ups?" Lu Le suggested.

"A Le, the higher-ups have already made the decision. It's useless for the boss to ask. It's better to pretend you don't know. This case isn't likely to be easy to solve anyway. Why should we take the initiative to take on this hot potato?" Xu Qinghe disagreed.

"Old Xu is right. The person who could have done this must have a complicated background. If the Japanese want to investigate, let them do it." Cheng Mo said.

"I'm afraid they will get too aggressive and interfere in cases like this in the future," Lu Le said worriedly.

"If they can solve the case and catch the murderer, then they will have the opportunity to intervene in the case in the future. But if they can't solve the case, then there is no reason for them to intervene in this kind of case."

"What if the case is solved?"

"Then we won't have to worry much anymore. Our case has been solved for us, so the credit will naturally belong to us, and we will definitely get rewards and promotions."

"Boss, you can still laugh."

"Why can't you laugh? It's not a good thing that we can get money even if we don't do any work in the future. Don't think too much. Let's see if they can solve the case first." Cheng Mo said with a smile.

"Yes."

……

"Uncle Xu, has our boss changed? He used to be so tough. In the case of Ono of Tongyuan Foreign Company, he was not polite to the Japanese at all. Now, I feel like he seems to be a little afraid of the Japanese..."

"Don't talk nonsense. The boss has his own considerations." Xu Qinghe scolded Lu Le, "Didn't you say you would get married after New Year's Day? When will you hold the wedding banquet?"

"Let's find a date after the New Year. Mainly, my family wants us to go back and hold the wedding, so we can only treat everyone to a meal and drinks here." Lu Le said awkwardly.

"Well, although your home is in Chongming, it's not realistic to invite everyone to your home for the wedding banquet. It's better to set up a few tables in Shanghai. Have you chosen a restaurant?" Xu Qinghe asked with concern.

"The date hasn't been set yet."

"Hurry up and make your decision. We are all waiting."

"Okay, Uncle Xu." Lu Le agreed quickly, but this interruption diverted the topic he really wanted to ask.

……

It is only a matter of time before Akagi Shinyuki interferes in cases that are not under his jurisdiction. Even if we can stop him this time, we can't stop him next time, so it is impossible to stop him by force.

Therefore, it would be better for him to investigate. If he cannot solve the case, he can intervene next time and he will have something to say then.

Moreover, if the case cannot be solved, the Japanese will have no reason to cause trouble for the Municipal Council, because it is you Japanese who are investigating the case.

If you can't even solve the case yourself, how can you expect others to solve it?
In fact, Akagi's own death was not a bad thing for Cheng Mo, as it was equivalent to switching positions between offense and defense.

If the case fell into his hands, it would be his responsibility to lead people to solve the case, and he could not deliberately cover up the matter.

Now, he doesn't have to do anything, but he can keep an eye on the Japanese and secretly find opportunities to make trouble to prevent the other party from solving the case.

I don't know what Akagi Shinyuki was thinking. He personally took part in the case. Was it really to solve the case and boost his reputation?
