Chapter 96 Taking advantage of his illness to kill him
As the group was chatting, Hu Junhe walked in carrying a bag of evidence.
In front of everyone, he carefully removed the bullet used to assassinate Ji Yunqing with tweezers.
Li Shiqun shook his head.
Wang Xuesen quickly removed the magazine from the "Palm Grenade": "A six-round magazine, but only five bullets."
Then, they carefully compared the bullet with the evidence of the assassination attempt on Ji Yunqing.
The models are exactly the same.
The coding is ordered.
It can be confirmed that this was the pistol that shot Ji Yunqing.
The murderer has been found!
Li Shiqun's eyes turned cold as he looked at the white rose:
"Miss Lu, what's the name of the person who gave you the gun?"
"Call me..." White Rose hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Miss Lu, I hope we can talk about these things here and not put Mr. Zhang in a difficult position, okay?" Li Shiqun's tone became stern.
White Rose is good at reading people's expressions and moods.
She knew all too well that the man before her was the most cunning and bloodthirsty devil in Shanghai.
She had just seen it too; Li Shiqun was currently overshadowing her godfather, and if she didn't confess, she might get into trouble.
"His...his name is Zhan Shen." White Rose bit her lip and finally blurted it out.
"Occupy depth?"
"It seems to be someone from the Military Intelligence Bureau. Old Hu, call Wang Tianmu over." Li Shiqun vaguely recognized the name and turned to give the order.
Soon Wang Tianmu walked in.
"I know this person."
"He was Dai Li's trusted confidant and a top assassin of the Military Intelligence Bureau. He usually handled the entire process of a mission, from planning and reconnaissance to assassination, all by himself. Therefore, Dai Li jokingly called him a 'lone ranger'."
"This person is elusive, has an eccentric personality, only communicates with the district head through a single channel, and acts based on his mood."
"I met him a few times when I was the district head. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old."
"Although they are unruly, disorganized, and lack discipline, they are very efficient at executing tasks."
Wang Tianmu said.
Li Shiqun emptied the bullets and handed over the pistol: "Take a look, is this his gun?"
Wang Tianmu took it and examined it carefully: "That's right, the gun is decorated with silver ornaments, it is indeed Zhan Shen's sidearm."
"good!"
"It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly!"
Upon hearing that it was someone from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and a close confidant of Dai Laogou, Li Shiqun's eyes lit up with excitement, and he slapped the table with great joy.
"Miss Lu, where is Zhan Shen now?" he asked coldly.
"Yes, yes..." White Rose glanced at Zhang Deqing, but couldn't quite bring herself to say it.
"Where? Tell me quickly!" Hu Junhe urged.
"In the mansion on Ferguson Road that my godfather gave me..."
He prefers to be active at night and sleep during the day.
White Rose lowered her head and whispered.
Zhang Deqing's face turned green instantly. He had spent 160,000 yuan to buy that house, and he had even secretly given it to Bai Meigui without telling his wife.
I never expected that this bastard would be keeping a gigolo behind my back.
He was even one of Dai Li's men!
Thinking of this, he was filled with rage and slapped the white rose across the face: "You wretch!" "You piece of trash, you've gotten yourself into a huge mess!"
"Godfather, I never imagined he would be a Kuomintang assassin." White Rose covered her face and sobbed.
"Director Hu, take Miss Lu to set up defenses and arrest her immediately."
Be careful.
Li Shiqun no longer hesitated and coldly gave the order.
"Master Zhang."
"I know Miss Lu is the apple of your eye!"
"But now it concerns my master's life and death, so I need her to stay at No. 76 and cooperate with the follow-up investigation."
"Please leave now."
"As for cooperation, we'll discuss it another day."
He then spoke to Zhang Deqing, whose face was full of indignation.
"Alright." Zhang Deqing saw a hint of predatory intent in Li Shiqun's eyes.
He originally came to No. 76 because he saw that Li Shiqun had turned his life around and had the support and endorsement of Yingzuo Zhenzhao, and he wanted to curry favor and talk about cooperation.
Now it seems things are not looking good.
Li Shiqun is a man of many thoughts; he might just drag this matter into his own hands.
They really shot themselves in the foot!
"Xuesen, see Old Zhang off," Li Shiqun instructed.
Wang Xuesen escorted Zhang Deqing to the door.
Zhang Deqing sighed and said, "Hey, young man, you still say I can win easily? I think it's like a lamb being led to the slaughter."
"You've definitely gotten old."
"The struggle for gang interests is nothing more than the survival of the fittest."
"When a wolf shows fear, its fate is already sealed."
"You should go back and think carefully about what you can offer."
Wang Xuesen laughed coldly and disdainfully.
These worthless traitors, kill them all if you can, they should all go to hell!
come back to the office.
Li Shiqun is not here.
When asked, the guard, Xiao Li, told them they had gone to the boxing gym in the back.
Wang Xuesen arrived at the boxing gym.
Li Shiqun is practicing Bajiquan, his movements are powerful and controlled.
Not far away, a man in his early thirties, who was a little over 1.9 meters tall and dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, stood with his hands behind his back.
This man had bulging temples, bright and piercing eyes, and exuded a chilling aura that instilled fear in those who looked upon him.
It was Wang Lin, Li Shiqun's personal bodyguard and the champion of the Grand World ring.
Wang Xuesen had secretly investigated this person's background.
This man possessed immense strength and a profound foundation in traditional Chinese martial arts; more than ten ordinary strong men could not defeat him.
Moreover, this person is neither lustful nor fond of alcohol!
My only hobby is eating!
They especially enjoy eating strange creatures like snakes and rats, believing them to have a wonderful effect on nourishing yin.
According to Wu Sibao, Wang Lin also ate fried earthworms, which he called an absolute delicacy.
To this, Wang Xuesen could only say: Absolutely amazing!
"Mr. Wang," Wang Xuesen greeted him.
Wang Lin nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on Li Shiqun, showing no intention of chatting.
Wang Xuesen didn't reply, and stood quietly waiting.
After Li Shiqun finished his set of punches, he handed him a towel.
Li Shiqun wiped the sweat from his neck and said, "Mr. Wang, you're busy. I need to talk to Xuesen about something."
"yes!"
Wang Lin accepted the order and left.
Li Shiqun walked with him to the boxing gym, pointed to the sea of clouds in the distance, and laughed heartily: "Xuesen, do you see that? People are like the sun, rising and setting."
"Back when my master passed away, Sanhetang was drastically swallowed up by Zhang Xiaolin. I intended to ask Zhang Deqing to step in and ease the situation."
"Zhang Deqing dislikes my generational name and was also framed by Ding Mocun and suspended from his post, so he actually refused to see me at the door."
"Now I'm back in charge of No. 76."
"This old dog couldn't stand Zhang Xiaolin, so he came to me with his tail between his legs, begging for help."
"It's ridiculous that we've come all this way."
"So... fortunes change every thirty years, so don't look down on others!"
He had been suppressing this anger for a long time, and today he finally got to vent it all.
"This is just the beginning; it's far from when you'll truly feel satisfied."
Wang Xuesen lagged half a step behind and followed with flattery.
"What are your thoughts on the matter of Bai Meigui and Zhang Deqing?" Li Shiqun knew there was something more to his question.
"Big brother!"
"In the past, you thought Ding Mocun was nothing, so you tolerated him again and again."
"And then, he bit you."
"These are all bloody lessons."
Wang Xuesen said.
Li Shiqun nodded, signaling him to continue.
"Zhang Deqing is short-sighted, focused on petty gains and lacking ambition."
"Now that he has handed the knife to you, Director, if we don't take him down now, he will be devoured by Zhang Xiaolin sooner or later."
"Why not...strike while the iron is hot and kill him!"
Wang Xuesen spoke calmly, paving the way for the rescue of Zhan Shen.
Li Shiqun gave him a complicated look: "You've got guts."
"Heroes emerge in times of chaos."
"Since Wang Jingwei has abandoned me, the only person I can rely on now is you, my elder brother. If I am subservient, I'm afraid I won't even have this little bit of shade under your big tree."
"I still hope that my elder brother will achieve great success, so that Xuesen can also share in the glory and one day be able to wipe away the shame of being abandoned in front of Mr. Wang and Chen Bijun."
A hint of resentment and bitterness flashed in Wang Xuesen's eyes.
Li Shiqun realized that this young man had great ambitions and hoped that he would replace Wang Jingwei.
"In the past, my elder brother suffered a lot of mistreatment because of his benevolence and righteousness."
"Now that you have the favor of the Chief of the Kagesa Agency gifting you a sword, Gakusen feels it is the perfect time to strive forward, and anything is possible."
Wang Xuesen continued.
Li Shiqun stood with his hands behind his back, saying nothing.
Wang Xuesen is a suspect.
Li Shiqun was wary.
However, it's understandable that Xue Sen, being a young man full of ambition, harbored resentment towards Wang Jingwei for being disliked, and was eager to make a name for himself, so his radical ideas were somewhat understandable.
The two families are currently enjoying a honeymoon period together.
His words, though seemingly crude, are perfectly reasonable.
The key point is that this is indeed a rare opportunity.
"This matter needs to be handled carefully; Zhang Deqing is no pushover."
"To kill him, this assassin named Zhan Shen is of paramount importance."
"How should it be conducted?"
"How solid is the testimony?"
"Every step must be done flawlessly."
Do you know what I mean?
Li Shiqun already had a solution in mind, but he couldn't reveal it publicly.
"Brother's thoughts are as deep as the sea, beyond my comprehension. Please give me your guidance." Wang Xuesen wasn't so arrogant as to commit a major taboo by directly revealing Li Shiqun's thoughts.
To a superior like Li Shiqun who is suspicious.
You need to appear knowledgeable.
You have to pretend you don't know.
It requires both a tacit understanding and wise guidance from superiors.
There's a balance to be struck; you have to get the timing right, otherwise things can easily go wrong, leading to suspicion and accusations.
"You."
"Just like your sister-in-law said, he's too cunning," Li Shiqun said with a twitching index finger.
"so."
"I'm entrusting this matter entirely to you. Even if you mess it up, at least we'll have caught the murderer, which will avenge my master, so it won't be a loss."
"It's all set. I'll take the evidence to Zhang Deqing and ask for the plates back."
"Let me see if you, this master of winning strategies, can actually win a game yourself."
After a moment's thought, he gave the order decisively.
"yes!"
"Xuesen will definitely give the director a satisfactory answer." Wang Xuesen bowed and accepted the order.
"But brother, we should keep this a secret as much as possible and not let the news get out."
"The cases involving Xiao Yufeng, her lover, and the Kuomintang intelligence agents who bought information have all been closed."
"If we expand this now, and Jinbao's wife finds out, she'll probably cause trouble at No. 76 again."
He continued to offer suggestions.
If things escalate and attract the attention of the Japanese and Jinbao's wife, the rescue of Zhan Shen will be completely hopeless.
"Yes, I'll put in a good word with Lao Hu."
"You are in charge of handling this matter entirely!"
Li Shiqun was deeply gratified; this kid was indeed thoughtful.
In terms of execution alone, Wang Xuesen was a hundred times better than Si Bao and Yang Jie, and only Hu Junhe could compare.
However, Lao Hu has ambitious plans and has been frequently in contact with Japanese people in private recently.
These shady, dirty, and tiring jobs couldn't all be given to him; Wang Xuesen was undoubtedly the "private soldier" he needed.
As for whether this kid will become arrogant or harbor malicious intentions...
Oh.
Could Sun Wukong escape the Buddha's palm?
It just so happens that Ji Qing also likes him.
Then we'll secretly train him and see if he's all talk and no action, or if he's really capable.
……
3 PM.
Wang Xuesen was drinking tea in his office.
A moment later, Hu Junhe burst in, looking travel-worn: "Xuesen, the person's been brought back. Interrogation room number one. Also, what about Bai Meigui?"
"Let's lock up interrogation room number two first."
"Thanks, Lao Hu!"
Wang Xuesen got up and handed him lukewarm tea.
"No need to thank me, we're all brothers."
"I'm telling you this: you do your investigation, I won't interfere."
"Just say the word if you need anything."
Hu Junhe took the drink and downed it in one gulp, then smiled as if to claim credit, saying, "Brother, to be honest..."
"Zhan Shen is a fierce bastard; he injured two brothers from the intelligence department."
"I risked my life to catch this big fish for you."
At this point, he winked shrewishly, "Once the case is closed, you'll know how to write the report, right?"
"Don't worry, my dear brother."
"I didn't even ask for your share of the sentry's bonus, how could I possibly compete with you for this little bit of credit?"
"The credit definitely goes to you!"
Wang Xuesen chuckled softly.
"Brother, you're on the right track!"
"terrific!"
Hu Junhe patted him on the shoulder, extremely satisfied.
"By the way, when your outpost opens again, remember to treat me to a meal. I'll be waiting," Wang Xuesen said with a smile.
"oh."
"It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon, just wait."
Upon hearing this, Hu Junhe grabbed his student work cap, put it on his head, and quickly left.
"What a shrewd person, trying to get all the benefits..." Wang Xuesen sneered inwardly.
The villain is good.
He likes petty people; with one stroke of fame and fortune, with another stroke of womanhood, he can easily cut them down and take them down.
