Years of the Republic of China 1913

() Zhang Huchen moved a little faster, rushing like a tiger to grab the assassin's hand holding the bomb and relentlessly, while Situ Meitang's target was the gun in the assassin's other hand, and the two of them immediately shot to the left and right. The assassin fell to the ground by force, Zhang Huchen grabbed the bomb with all his strength and threw it far away, and then punched the opponent hard on the back of the head. The assassin passed out without even humming. <>

Fang Zida ran for his life without turning his head. He didn't turn his head until he heard Zhang Huchen's shout when he ran hundreds of meters away. Suddenly softened, and sat down on the ground.

The original straight suit was mixed with blood, dust and sweat, and it was already out of shape after a burst of running. Fang Zida, who was panting heavily, felt the pain in the back of his shoulders, and his hair was wet with sweat. Surprised and angry, who sent the assassin to kill him?Except for the scene at the Shanghai Railway Station when he just returned to China, this was the most thrilling incident he had encountered in his life. He had never felt so close to death like today.

It wasn't until the assassin was subdued that the soldiers sent by the U.S. government came to their senses. Several American soldiers came running with guns in their hands, yelling, and their expressions were even more nervous than Zhang Huchen who was tying the backs of the assassin's hands with shoelaces. three points.At this point, the panic-stricken people gradually calmed down, Yang Du and the others had no time to take into account the assassin's situation, and ran towards Fang Zida in a hurry.

"Chang Ming, you've been shot!"

"It's okay, I can't die for the time being..." Fang Zida gritted his teeth and said.I just wanted to get up, but my whole body was limp and I couldn't exert any strength.

With the help of Jiang Zhiqing and others.Fang Zida finally stood up and helped to check the wound a little bit, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.A bullet grazed Fang Zida's left shoulder, taking away a piece of flesh, but the bullet didn't enter his body, and the wound was nothing serious except for a little bleeding.

The American soldiers and the police who arrived quickly took over the scene.The unconscious assassin was taken away on the spot, and the pistols and bombs used by the assassin were also collected by the Americans as evidence.After a while, the doctor arrived, and after a simple bandage on the spot, Fang Zida was carried into the car on a stretcher and sent directly to the hospital.Fang Zida and his party could only postpone their return due to such a major event at the pier, Yang Du accompanied Fang Zida to the hospital car.Before getting into the car, he pulled Jiang Zhiqing aside and gave some instructions in a low voice. Jiang Zhiqing nodded in agreement repeatedly. After Fang Zida and the others left, he found Situ Meitang with a solemn expression.

"What do you guys eat? Where did this assassin come from? Ah!"

"Master, we...we don't know..."

"I don't know? You don't even know that even an assassin is among your own people? Do you think it's possible? You can recite the 23 laws of the Hongmen? Don't say I didn't give you a chance, but say that no one will believe it! Say it. A man who dares to do something and is a hero should bear it himself, maybe it can be a good time for the brother's face!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Situ Meitang said this with a murderous look, pointing out that there was a traitor among the people present.But it's the same when I think about it.Apart from the American soldiers and the police in the distance, Fang Zida and his party were the only ones at the scene, and the assassins rushed out from their farewell crowd.If it hadn't been arranged by someone, it would be absolutely impossible to get in with outsiders.

The assassination happened under the eyes of everyone, and the target of the assassination was Fang Zida, which made Situ Meitang lose face. You must know that San Francisco is his territory, and this farewell ceremony was organized by Hongmen and Zhigongdang. Infiltrating into their team and almost killing Fang Zida right under his nose, it's no wonder Situ Meitang didn't fly into a rage.

However, just relying on Situ Meitang's words, someone would automatically stand up and admit it?If that's the case, the other party's head is broken. Just when the atmosphere is dignified, everyone is looking at each other, trying to find this guy from the crowd, Jiang Zhiqing walked up to Situ Meitang, and said in a bad tone: "Ki Brother Zan, I need an explanation."

"Brother Ruiyuan, don't worry, I will give everyone an explanation for this matter!" Situ Meitang held back his anger and cupped his hands, promising, Jiang Zhiqing nodded slightly and did not leave, standing aside and looking at Hongmen and Zhigongdang A group of people put on a supervisory look.Although this made Situ Meitang extremely unhappy, he could only acquiesce to Jiang Zhiqing's behavior when such a big event happened.

The assassin was escorted away, and Fang Zida was sent away. Before Situ Meitang could find out who brought the assassin, several American police officers and soldiers came over and asked everyone at the scene to go to the police station to record statements to assist in the investigation. the circumstances of the case.To this, Situ Meitang had no choice but to agree, calling everyone to go to the police station together. Of course, Situ Meitang, as the big brother of the Hong family, was treated much better than ordinary people in the police station. The state government officials who came to handle the case didn't make things difficult for him, and directly invited him and Jiang Zhiqing into the director's office, and poured them a cup of coffee.

An important visiting official from China was actually assassinated at the San Francisco pier. This is a big event for the American government. A few hours later, the members of the rich family of the alliance who got the news were also taken aback. Press and demand a thorough investigation of the case.By the night of the same day, the representative of the president and the special officials of the Ministry of Justice took over the case in a hurry, and the Bureau of Investigation took over from the San Francisco Police Department to solve the case.

The Bureau of Investigation of the Ministry of Justice, which is the famous FBI in later generations, is also known as the predecessor of the fbi.Although this is only a small detective agency established less than ten years ago, with the strong support of the Department of Justice, this agency has long since exceeded its original scope of work, and has gradually become one of the most important government agencies under the US Department of Justice.

After taking over the work, the police officers of the Bureau of Investigation quickly started to act. They were divided into several parts, and their efficiency was extremely high and amazing.The next morning, Fang Zida who was lying on the hospital bed just woke up, and Jiang Zhiqing who rushed back from the police station brought the results of the investigation.

"Chen Shaobai? Who is he?"

Fang Zida was taken aback when he heard this. According to the investigation of the Bureau of Investigation, the assassin got in through the relationship of a Marquis Huan from Hongmen, and according to Marquis Huan's account, the assassin found him under the banner of Chen Shaobai.Of course, Marquis Huan didn't know the assassin's purpose, he just thought that this person made this request because he wanted to see the world and the big shots, so he relaxed his vigilance and took him into the pier.

Fang Zida had never heard of Chen Shaobai, how could Yang Du not know about him?Immediately, he showed a surprised expression.

"It's him?!"

"What? Is this Chen Shaobai famous?"

Yang Du smiled bitterly and said, "Shang Ming, you were overseas for a long time, so it's no wonder you didn't know this person. Chen Shaobai, formerly known as Chen Wenshao, styled Kuishi, was born in Jiangmen, Guangdong. In 1895, he joined the Xingzhong Association, and later became the head of the Xingzhong Association in Taiwan. After the Revolution of [-], he served as the Director of Foreign Affairs of the Guangdong Governor's Mansion, but he resigned and went to Hong Kong soon, and then quit politics and changed to a commercial bank."

"It turns out that this person is so famous..." Fang Zida wondered, "But I have no grudges with him in the past or near, so why would he send someone to assassinate me?"

"Brother Zhang Ming only knows one thing but not the other." Dai Jitao interjected and said, "Chen Shaobai and Sun Wen are also known as the Four Great Bandits, and their personal relationship is also very close. If my guess is correct, there should be Sun Wen, this makes sense."

Yang Du nodded, expressing his agreement with Dai Jitao's point of view. After all, Sun Wen should be the real behind-the-scenes instigator. Fang Zida's whereabouts in the United States are not kept secret. As long as interested people inquire, they can still find out. In these years, Fang Zida and Sun Wenzhi Forged a lot of grievances during the period, especially when the Sun Wen incident was broken a while ago, the vigorous student movement died, and three of the four major generals of the revolutionary party left the party in Beijing and one was arrested. The reputation of the Revolutionary Party in the country has plummeted, and Fang Zida's hatred is like a sea. From this point of view, sending assassins to assassinate him is the most normal.

"Has the assassin been recruited?"

Jiang Zhiqing shook his head and said, "This assassin is tough. He hit the wall and committed suicide not long after he woke up after entering the police station, so he didn't give any confession."

"Is there anything else about the origin of the assassin besides these?"

"This... I don't know for now..."

Fang Zida nodded and closed his eyes slightly, seeing him like this Jiang Zhiqing and Dai Jitao carefully left the ward, while Yang Du stayed and sat quietly by the bed.

After a long time, Fang Zida opened his eyes and looked at the door. Yang Du smiled and said, "Rui Yuan and the others have already left, Zhang Ming, do you think Sun Wen didn't do this?"

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows." Fang Zida replied noncommittally, frowning slightly.

Although this incident was thrilling at the time, Fang Zida thought about it carefully afterwards and found it a bit strange.Sun Wen wants to die by himself, this is for sure, after all, he has ruined the opponent's major affairs many times, if it were him, he would also send assassins to carry out assassinations.But judging from the scene, although the assassin almost succeeded, it was far from the hotel assassination he encountered in Shandong that year.No matter in terms of manpower organization or planning, they all seemed extremely amateurish. If the other party had sent the same group as last time, Fang Zida would have given nine lives at the pier, and he would definitely not be lying on the hospital bed as peacefully as he is now.

"Who is it? Is it really Sun Wen's hand?" Fang Zida asked silently, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
