Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 48: Random Punches Kill the Master

The four people warned Huang Shufen and hurried to the next house.

Huang Shufen closed the door, patted her chest and said softly, "These policemen are pretty good. They didn't rummage through anything. Unlike those traitors back home, they took everything they saw and were worse than robbers."

Han Hui thought to herself, it seems like everything I said just now was in vain.

Unable to leave, Han Hui simply returned to her room to study. She had already achieved perfect accuracy with her static shooting in the simulator, and now began moving shooting training. Her Eighteen Section Brocade had also improved significantly after all this time. However, without sparring with anyone, it was unclear how effective it was.

The lunch was very rich, with blood duck, fried meatballs, fried salted fish, garlic eggplant, scrambled eggs with loofah and fried water spinach, in addition to steamed buns.

Han Hui was a little surprised: "Mom, why did you make so many dishes today?"

Huang Shufen put a piece of salted fish into her bowl and said with a smile, "This family depends on you. If I don't give you good food, how can your body bear it?"

In reality, she was worried about Han Hui staying up late every day. She needed to eat well, not just catch up on sleep during the day. Previously, she'd been saving money for a house, but now that she had it and was free of worries, she wanted to fatten Han Hui up. Ever since the child had learned boxing and hunting techniques, she'd been getting thinner and thinner.

Han Hui finished her meal and headed to the hospital with her lunchbox. She was allowed out now, but the inspections were still strict. She'd been inspected four times in just over ten minutes, and she was convinced.

Arriving at the hospital, Han Hui noticed Japanese soldiers standing guard outside the single-patient room, and her heart sank. Could it be that the Japanese had discovered she was the killer last night and arrested Han Mengyang? However, she quickly dismissed this theory. If they had truly known she was the killer, they would have arrested her first.

Han Hui asked the nurse and found out that Han Mengyang had been transferred to the general ward and the single room was arranged for other patients.

When Xiaocao saw Han Hui, she started complaining, "Miss, we slept well last night, but the hospital wanted to transfer us here. I wanted to argue with them, but the eldest master said it's better to have less trouble than more."

Han Hui nodded and said, "I don't know what happened last night. Martial law was in effect so early in the morning that I couldn't even buy food."

When Xiaocao heard this, he dared not say a word.

Han Mengyang asked as soon as he saw her, "Xiaoman, are you and mother okay?"

Han Hui shook her head to indicate that she was fine. She put the food down and said, "I couldn't go grocery shopping this morning, so I fried two poached eggs for you."

Although Han Mengyang has recovered well, he still needs to avoid eating spicy food.

Xiaocao took the food out to eat. Although she could eat in the hospital or in a restaurant, it didn't suit her taste. She still liked Huang Shufen's cooking.

While Han Mengyang was eating, a nurse came to inform Han Hui to go through the discharge procedures.

Han Hui was eager to be discharged from the hospital. She was exhausted from running back and forth. Xiaocao had been in the hospital all these days.

After receiving her discharge certificate, Han Hui went to the first floor to complete the formalities. While waiting, she heard from the patient's family that the hospital had admitted a large number of patients the previous night and was running out of beds. Only then did she understand why they had been asked to be discharged a day early.

Han Hui had no idea how much impact her momentary impulse had on the outside world.

Yamamoto of the Special High Police, Kagero of the Ume Agency, and Koizumi, the Military Police Commander's Intelligence Section, were all harshly reprimanded by Marine Corps Commander Sato Toshiki, who ordered them to apprehend Yasui Juri's killer as soon as possible, or they would all resign and return to Japan to confess. Yamamoto returned to the Special High Police and held an internal meeting, then summoned Officer 76 Ding Gaoming and Deputy Director Li Shijun. The message was simple: the killer had to be found within three days, or everyone was doomed.

Ding Gaoming returned to No. 76 and summoned all the middle managers to a meeting in the conference room to share the news she had received. She said, "The murderer who shot Colonel Yasui last night was of average height, weighed about 110 pounds, and had excellent marksmanship and skill."

After listening to this, Chen Yongming frowned and asked, "Director, what else is there to investigate? They must be in the same group as last night's assassin."

Ding Gaoming shook his head and said, "No. The assassins at the Paramount last night were from the Military Control Commission, and they were targeting me, Zhou Hai, and Deputy Director Li. The assassins who assassinated General Yasui were not from Chongqing, and this has been confirmed."

Hearing this, a person suddenly popped up in Chen Yongming's mind. However, with so many people in the conference room, especially Li Shijun, he didn't say anything.

After the meeting, Chen Yongming followed Ding Gaoming into his office. After closing the door, he lowered his voice and said, "Director, do you think this murderer is the same one who killed Wang Hanfeng?"

Ding Gaoming thought of this when he saw the information Yamamoto gave him, but he said nothing: "I will destroy this information. You warn the people below to watch their mouths, otherwise they will all die."

Chen Yongming was startled and asked in a very soft voice, "Director, who is this An Jing?"

The death of a Marine colonel is indeed a big deal, but it doesn’t mean that all of them should be buried with him!
Ding Gaoming said with a gloomy face, "Anjing's uncle was the Minister of Internal Affairs. Now that he's been killed, Lord Anjing will surely be furious, and everyone involved will be punished. If Yamamoto knew that we had dealings with this murderer, he might even put the blame on us."

The Military Control Commission had recently launched a frenzied campaign of retaliation, assassinating numerous members, which had deteriorated urban security. Colonel Yasui had even attended a banquet hosted by President Heiyuan at the Paramount. Upon learning of the incident, he immediately sent someone to persuade him to leave, and he did. But who could have imagined that he would be attacked on his way back to Naval Headquarters?

He had received advance information about the Military Control Commission's move at the Paramount last night and had made arrangements. However, the mysterious individual's whereabouts were unpredictable and difficult to track, so he wasn't considered.

That evening, the new station chief Yue Xiyuan reported to Chongqing that one of his "madmen" had assassinated Yasui Hitoshi and received commendation from the head of the Military Control Bureau.

Yamamoto got the news and immediately called Ding Gaoming and Li Shijun over. As a result, the two insisted that Yue Xiyuan had falsely claimed the credit. However, Yamamoto didn't care about that. He needed this crazy person to report to his superiors.

In contrast to the Japanese and 76's helplessness and Yue Xiyuan's false claim of credit, Qi Han got the news and went to find Wang Chuan: "Didn't the Dragon Guardian contact you during this period?"

Wang Chuan shook his head to indicate no. "Comrade Lao Qi, what happened?"

Qi Han talked about An Jing's murder and his identity: "I suspect that Comrade Shoulongzhe killed An Jing."

Wang Chuan asked, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Assassinating high-ranking Japanese officers is a good thing, as it can curb the Japanese arrogance. However, Qi Han is worried about the safety of the Dragon Guardian. Now the Dragon Guardian has been targeted by the Special High Section and Unit 76, and it would be very dangerous if he appeared again.

Qi Han said: "If you can contact the Dragon Guardian, you must make her lie dormant."

Wang Chuan smiled bitterly. The Dragon Guardian had delivered things three times but never showed up. He didn't even know what the other party looked like and how to notify him.
