Chapter 690 Son

"This room." Hao Zai pointed to the room on the left side of the entrance to the stairs and silently signaled.

The layout of the houses in Moyu'er Lane is roughly the same. Hao Zai has just inspected the next room. The room on the left near the stairs is smaller and is the guest bedroom, and the right is more spacious and is the master room.

 The two of them quietly approached the room on the left.

At this moment, there was a sound in the room on the right.

 The sound was not loud, but it could not be hidden in this silent night.

 The two looked at each other and turned to the room on the right.

  Gently pushed the door and it was locked.

 With his dagger stuck through the crack of the door, he pulled it gently like a file.

Although this sound is very soft, you can still hear it if you listen carefully.

Pan Laojiu held the gun with both hands and pointed it at the room on the left next door, for fear of alarming the people inside.

 The door is open.

 “Don’t move!” Hao Zai raised the muzzle of his gun.

The moonlight is not bad tonight. The moonlight comes in through the gap in the window. You can vaguely see a woman holding a pair of scissors in her hand. She is about to pounce. Facing the black hole of the muzzle, she is too frightened to move:

 The gun was not pointed at her, but at the sleeping child on the bed.

 Her son is her lifeblood!

 “Kill the little boy if you dare.” Hao Zai said coldly.

Pan Laojiu outside walked to the door. He did not come in, but closed the door from the outside. He stayed outside and continued to monitor the next room.

 …

The purpose of Pan Laojiu's appearance is to tell the woman that there is an accomplice outside, which completely makes the woman despair.

Hao Zai stepped forward in two steps and took the scissors out of the woman's hand, holding her chin with the muzzle of the gun. "Whether I kill you or Xiaoyou is up to me."

“Money, I’ll give you all the money, but don’t kill my son.” Zhao Rui said with trembling teeth.

 “If I ask you a question, I will answer truthfully, otherwise.”

“I said, everyone said, don’t kill my son.” Zhao Rui tried to kneel down, but Hao Zai forced him against the wall with a gun.

 “Who is the man next door?” Hao Zai asked.

"yes…"

“Think carefully before answering. We know the situation of the person next door. We are just asking you to see if you are honest.” Haozi said coldly.

 “It’s my cousin.” Zhao Rui said tremblingly.

"What's his name? Where is he from?" As he spoke, Hao Zai pointed his gun at the boy on the bed intentionally or unintentionally.

"Luo, Luo Daoxing." Zhao Rui said quickly, "I don't know where he comes from. He just came to Shanghai a few days ago."

 He was overjoyed when he confirmed the identity of ‘Nagging’ from this woman.

 “Does ‘Nagging’ have a gun on him?” Hao Zai asked again.

Hearing the nickname "Nagging" from the other party's mouth, it means that the other party has indeed found out long ago, and may even be directly targeting his cousin. Zhao Rui feels a little less guilty about his cousin.

"I have no idea."

 “Where is Lu Fei now?” Hao Zai suddenly asked.

"Ah." The woman looked at the masked man in horror and said tremblingly, "In the hospital."

 “Which hospital?” Hao Zai asked.

 The woman then told her the name of the hospital.

“Japanese hospital? What a traitor!” Hao Zai snorted coldly.

“No, no, the child’s father was harmed by ‘nagging’, it’s all...” the woman said in panic.

The sound stopped suddenly, and Hao Zai hit the woman on the neck with a knife. While knocking her unconscious, he helped her fall to the ground without making any sound.

He pulled out the dagger from his body and looked at the unconscious woman and the child sleeping on the bed.

Especially when he got closer, looking at the child's childish face on the bed through the moonlight, Hao Zai's expression changed continuously, and finally he put away the dagger and exited the master room.

 …

 Pan Laojiu looked at Hao Zai.

Hao Zai nodded.

 Pan Laojiu was very happy.

 Hao Zai also looked at Pan Laojiu.

Pan Laojiu shook his head and signaled that there was no movement in the next room.

"What is it?" Pan Laojiu and Hao Zai pushed the door gently and found that the door was not locked. They were overjoyed. As soon as they pushed the door, they saw something fastened to the door latch.

Jingle Bell!

 Hand side mother!

Hao Zai cursed in his heart, 'Nagging', this guy is too clever. He deliberately left the door unlocked, and then tied a bell on the door bolt. The other end of the bell was tied to a nail on the wall with a black wire. It was a waste of time. I can't see the black line at all.

In the room, ‘Nagging’ shot decisively the moment the bell rang.

Hum, bang, bang.

 Hao Zai and Pan Laojiu outside the door were shooting and hiding on both sides of the door.

“‘Nagging’, you have harmed so many brothers, you are dead today.” Hao Zai shouted with a Hangzhou accent.

‘Did someone from Hangzhou Station send someone to kill me? ! ’

Nag Nao was shocked.

 In the room, ‘Nagging’ has no unnecessary actions:

He did not push up the door, but rushed directly to the window, pushed it open, and jumped out.

boom!

 The door was kicked open.

 Bang, bang, bang!

 Hao Zai and Pan Laojiu rushed into the house after a burst of rapid fire, only seeing the open window.

 “What a bastard!” Pan Laojiu cursed in a low voice.

boom!

 A gunshot was fired.

The two of them rushed to the window and saw a man lying on the ground, crawling forward desperately.

 The two were overjoyed, and without hesitation they pulled out their pistols and fired.

Hum, bang, bang.

 …

 Cheng Qianfan stood at the window, setting up a water rifle.

 His eyes were fixed on the road.

 Then he heard the sound of intensive gunfire.

 Following that, there was a splash, and then someone was seen jumping from the second floor to the ground.

 Cheng Qianfan’s right index finger was on the trigger.

boom!

 After landing, Nagging, who had just stood up to run away, was shot in the back and fell forward.

 Then more intensive gunfire rang out.

Cheng Qianfan watched the man lying on the ground being beaten into a hornet's nest. The expression in his eyes showed no mercy at all, but he fired two more shots into the back of his heart.

 Confirming that the man was motionless, Cheng Qianfan snorted in his heart, packed up his spear and prepared to evacuate.

 …

Here, Hao Zai and Pan Laojiu rushed out of the main entrance of No. 33 Moyuer Lane.

The two men fired twice at a neighbor's window that had a light on, and shouted loudly, "Ginger mule is doing things, and idle people should avoid them."

 All the screams stopped suddenly and all the bright lights went out.

 This is the reason why the name "Ginger Mule" is called:

In Shanghai, apart from the Japanese, the person who can best stop children from crying at night is Jiang Mulezi, the number one gangster in Shanghai!

The two of them ran to the body of the man who was shot dead. Pan Laojiu found the ax and tin bucket that had been prepared from the corner. He picked up the ax and chopped it down without saying a word, then threw it into the tin bucket. He soon disappeared into the night alley.

And here, Cheng Qianfan climbed out from the window on the second floor, carrying a water rifle on his back, and ran around the roof as smartly as a cat. He soon disappeared to the far end of the roof, and found the position he had scouted when he came. left the house and disappeared into the night.

 …

 More than an hour later.

 Mass graves by the Suzhou River.

 Pan Laojiu and Hao Zai dug a hole together and buried Nagging's head.

The two of them met with "Team Leader Xiao" before. The team leader shined a flashlight into the tin bucket and nodded with satisfaction.

 Subsequently, ‘Team Leader Xiao’ separated from the two of them and evacuated early.

 The two of them are responsible for the aftermath.

“Team leader, you didn’t kill that **** and her baby.” Pan Laojiu lit Hao Zai’s cigarette, took two long puffs, and said.

Hao Zai glanced at Pan Laojiu, "How did you tell?"

"When you came out of the room, there was no smell of blood." Pan Laojiu blew his nose, wiped it on the soles of his shoes, and said.

“The team leader is not a soft-hearted person.” Hao Zai puffed out the smoke and said.

 Before taking action, Cheng Qianfan told Hao Zai not to attack women and children if possible.

However, after confirming that the woman's man was Lu Fei, Haozi subconsciously wanted to take action against the mother and son. The family law of the Military Command Bureau was that if one person committed treason, the whole family would be executed.

Looking at the sleeping boy, Hao Zai finally chose not to take action. The reason he gave himself was that it was the team leader’s order.

Now that he has calmed down, Hao Zai thought about it again. Based on his understanding of Brother Fan, Brother Fan was definitely not a soft-hearted person towards the traitor's family. When Lou Lianxiang and the little maid died, it was said that Brother Fan didn't even bat an eyelid after hearing the news. Wink.

So, the team leader’s move must have deep meaning, but he is just not smart enough to understand the team leader’s foresight.

Neither of them continued the topic, but the expressions on their faces became much more relaxed.

 …

Bai Ruolan supported her hands on the edge of the bed and just looked at her sleeping husband.

 Her eyes were full of tenderness.

Listening to her husband's soft snoring, Bai Ruolan felt as if a big stone had been moved away from her heart.

The couple slept together for a long time, and the attentive Ruolan discovered a pattern:

 Her husband rarely snores when sleeping, and his sleep is very light and he wakes up easily.

Only a few times does the husband snore while sleeping, which usually means that the husband seldom sleeps peacefully.

 Cheng Qianfan woke up at around seven o'clock in the morning.

Bai Ruolan had already made breakfast and asked Xiaobao to come up and wake her brother up.

"Brother, get up." Xiaobao used a piece of hair to rub Cheng Qianfan's nostrils. After her brother woke up, she said with a giggle.

 “Look for a fight.” Cheng Qianfan jumped out of bed in his pajamas and pretended to catch Xiaobao. Xiaobao was so frightened that he ran away and giggled.

"You two, come down and eat quickly." Bai Ruolan shouted from downstairs.

 “Here we come.” Cheng Qianfan agreed. He finally caught Xiaobao, and then came down carrying this ‘little captive’ on his back.

Ruolan, who was pregnant with her belly, looked up and saw this scene and smiled.

  She recalled what the two had said in their previous chat.

"If the first one is Nannan, will you be disappointed?" Bai Ruolan asked.

“Boys and girls are alike.” Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, “If it’s a girl, you’ll know just by looking at her little aunt.”

At that time, Bai Ruolan giggled and patted him, saying how could she compare her daughter to her aunt.

However, she was relieved because she knew how much her husband doted on Xiaobao.

“Hurry and wash your hands and eat.” Bai Ruolan whispered to her husband and Xiaobao.

Her hand subconsciously touched her belly. She still wanted a boy.

 It is not about favoring boys over girls.

  She knew what a dangerous job her husband was doing for this country and nation.

Grandfather Cheng Guzhi joined the Liberation Society in his early years and joined the revolution without hesitation.

father-in-law Cheng Wenzao and mother-in-law Su Zhifu also joined the revolution and died for the Northern Expedition.

 Three generations of the old Cheng family have sacrificed for this country—

 Two generations of a single generation, the old Cheng family cannot end with her!

 …

　　No. 22, Xue Huali Road.

 Central Patrol Room, Office of the Deputy Chief Inspector.

 “Brother Fan, there’s a call from Chongqing.” Haozi reported softly.

“Ask about what happened yesterday?” Cheng Qianfan asked while holding a small bucket to water the flowers and humming a tea-picking tune.

“Yes, Chongqing asked our department if we knew the inside story of the Cordier Road incident.”

“Let Zhou Ru call back to Chongqing.” Cheng Qianfan pulled out the weeds in the flower pot, pondered for a moment, and said, “Let’s just say that the Cordier Road Shanghai Station was attacked, and our department did help.”

 “That’s it?” Li Hao looked up at Cheng Qianfan in surprise.

"Well, that's it." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "If you ask about it over there, just say that the situation is tense. The situation here is complicated and it is not convenient to contact you at the moment. I will call Chongqing to report the details personally."

"Yes!" Li Hao nodded. Although he didn't know why Brother Fan did this, he naturally followed what Brother Fan asked.

 …

 Moyuer Lane.

 “Okay, stop crying, it’s so annoying.”

 “Mother Xiecheng, I told you to stop crying.”

Yuan Kaizhou cursed irritably.

The family at No. 31 was rescued when the police came to investigate the shooting and knocked on the door. They noticed something was wrong and then broke in.

Asked the head of the household if he had seen the intruder. The man just drank water and trembled, while the woman just cried, which made Yuan Kaizhou irritable.

"What's the question over there?" Yuan Kaizhou asked casually when he saw his men walking over in a hurry.

The hostess of the house on the 33rd was even more frightened. She kept sitting on the ground with her son in her arms and said nothing.

“Zhao Rui spoke up and said that the headless corpse on the street might be his cousin Luo Daoxing.” The subordinate said.

 “What does it mean to be possible?” Yuan Kaizhou glared.

"Without a head, we can't be sure." His subordinate called Qu and said, "Zhao Rui is timid and doesn't dare to look closer. He only said that the clothes of the headless corpse are very similar to those of his cousin."

At this moment, a chaotic sound came from the distance. Yuan Kaizhou frowned and said, "Go and see what's going on?"

The men had just taken two steps when they saw a group of Japanese soldiers approaching, surrounded by a fat man with a sinister expression.

 …

'Why is he here? ’

Yuan Kaizhou's expression changed, and he said "bad luck" in his heart.

  The man was Nakaya Hide, Japan’s deputy representative to Shanghai Special City under the Nanjing Reform Government.

In addition, the higher-ups in the patrol room basically know that this Japanese has another identity, and this is also his true identity -

 He is the director of the third room of the Shanghai United Special High School.

“Mr. Zhongya, what brought you here?” Yuan Kaizhou put a smile on his face and stepped forward to greet him.

"What kind of wind?" Zhong Yexiu said with a gloomy expression, "It's a murderous wind!"

“Mr. Zhongye, why do you say this?” Yuan Kaizhou asked with the smile on his face fading a little.
