Chapter 314.
Sasaki and the three of them first came together and bowed three times in front of Chen Zhuan’s spiritual seat, and then gave a plant of incense in turn, before being invited by Chen Youtao to serve tea in another side hall.
Sasaki came over at this time, and brought the head of the Special Higher Division with him, so it was obvious that he had something important to talk to him about.
The maid served tea.
“Major Lin, Captain Sasaki, Mr. Lin, please have some tea.” Chen Youtao, who was the host, greeted.
The three of them thanked him.
“Jun Chen, the three of us came here this time, apart from condoling your father, we also have the intention of helping you capture this group of assassins and avenge old Mr. Chen.”
“Really?” Chen Youtao excitedly stood up from his seat.
“Of course, Mr. Lin is an expert in this area, and the SGF and Major Lin will do their best to assist Mr. Lin in detecting this matter.” Sasaki said, “Our Military Police will also help.”
“That’s great, although the Kobo Bureau’s police department has taken up this case, but from their attitude, I can feel that they are very perfunctory, if my father’s case is handed over to them, I guess it will end up as a loose end.” Chen Youtao said.
“The Bureau of Public Works Police Department cannot be trusted at all.” Lin Shiqun said in a shocking tone.
“What makes Mr. Lin say that?” Chen Youtao asked in surprise.
“From my understanding of the circumstances of your father’s murder, this group of assassins must have made an extremely thorough plan beforehand, their methods are very professional, a single strike and a swift withdrawal, this is by no means an ordinary revenge-seeking, they must be well-trained agents.” Lin Shiqun asserted.
“Agents, could it be someone from Chongqing?” Chen Youtao was creeped out, he did think about it, but he did not dare to be sure.
“Old Mr. Chen has never had any grudges against anyone, how could he have been assassinated in such a bizarre manner, obviously everything was prepared.” Lin Shiqun spoke eloquently.
“Mr. Lin, might help me catch the murderer and avenge my father?” Chen Youtao asked.
“The murderer is not an ordinary person, I can’t guarantee that I will be able to catch him, but I came here today to help Mr. Chen.” Lin Shiqun said with a slight smile.
“Thank you, Mr. Lin.” Chen Youtao stood up and clasped his fists, “If I can comfort my father’s soul in heaven for solving this case, Mr. Chen would like to thank him heavily.”
“Mr. Chen is overstating it, you are Mr. Sasaki’s friend, that means you are Mister Lin’s friend, it is proper to help a friend.” Lin Shiqun humbly said, “Can Mr. Chen take us forward to the crime scene to take a look?”
“Of course, three of you please.”
The crime scene was on the first floor restaurant, and after the incident, after the inspector’s office came and surveyed the area, it was cleaned up, but some traces remained.
“Mr. Chen, where was your father sitting at that time?” Lin Shiqun asked.
“My father was sitting in this position, just started to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner not long ago, the dishes have not yet been served, my father was in a good mood, but also let someone hot a pot of thirty years old flower carvings, said that he wanted to accompany us to drink a couple of cups, who knows, the dishes have not yet eaten a few mouths on ……” Chen Youtao choked up and couldn’t go on.
“Chen Jun condole, the deceased has passed away, what we have to do now is to catch the murderer, clear justice.” Sasaki said.
“Thank you, I was just overwhelmed with emotion for a moment.”
“How many shots did the killer fire in total?”
“Three shots.” Chen Youtao said, “They all wore masks, only showing their nostrils and eyes, and when they pulled out their guns, they shot my father in the chest, snapping three times in a row, but they couldn’t hear any gunshots.”
“No shots could be heard?”
“It’s a silenced pistol, a pistol with a silencer installed, it can eliminate the gun flame from the muzzle, as well as reduce the sound emitted from firing the gun, although it can’t completely eliminate the sound, it can reduce the sound of a gunshot by seventy to eighty percent, and it can’t easily be noticed.” Lin Shiqun said, he had once trained at the Soviet Far East Police Academy, so naturally he had come into contact with this type of thing. Sasaki was only a military police captain, and obviously had no experience in this area.
“Does his pistol also have a tube added to its barrel that looks twice as long as a normal pistol?” Lin Shiqun explained and then asked.
Chen Youtao nodded, “That’s right, that’s it.”
“This is the silencer I was talking about, it is mounted directly on top of the muzzle, but there are very few of these in the country, the average person will not use them, only agents on special missions will have them.” Lin Shiqun continued to explain.
Chen Youtao said, “However, those killers I met almost had one in their hands.”
Lin Shiqun could not help but exclaim, “One in every hand, how is this possible?”
“This is what my family and I saw with our own eyes, how can it be faked.”
“The Blue Clothes Society, other than the Blue Clothes Society, there isn’t a second organization that has the ability to do a case like this.” Lin Shiqun asserted.
“The Blue Coat Society has recently changed to a new head, could it be this person’s handiwork?”
“Unlike that, the new head of the Blue Coat Society’s Shanghai district is called Wang Tianmu, a former district chief of North China, his is indeed an expert in operations, proficient in assassination and assassination, but his men are all reckless, most of this people from reckless backgrounds are not very disciplined, and the chapter of how these people acted, apart from the two guards at the entrance, after entering the Chen Mansion, apart from Elder Mr. Chen, there was no indiscriminate killing of innocents, this is all a bit like what the Red Team of the Communist Party does.”
“Red team?” In the crowd present, a trace of bewilderment flashed in someone’s eyes.
“The Red Team has become history, but the Red Team hasn’t disappeared, it’s just that these people no longer engage in assassinations.” Lin Shiqun explained.
To say the least, he had also been over there once, and was even focused on training, but as a result, he failed to withstand the test, and ultimately mutinied.
This person who had defected once became less resistant to defecting again.
It’s like a woman going into the sea, with the first time, would she still care about the second or third time?
“Could the Communists have done it?”
“No, they have strong disciplinary constraints, if it was a single person who acted, there might still be three possibilities, but with so many people acting, besides, they don’t agree with this kind of struggle, over the past year or so, the many assassinations that have occurred on the Shanghai Bund, how many of them have proved to be the work of the Communist Party alone?” Lin Shiqun denied.
“I’ve heard that before Dai Yunong evacuated Shanghai, he arranged for several sleeper cells in Shanghai that were not under the leadership of the Shanghai District, I wonder if Captain Sasaki and Section Chief Lin have heard anything about that?” Lin Shiqun made an inquiry to Sasaki and Section Chief Lin.
Sasaki and Major Lin gave a slight nod, they were both in intelligence work, if they didn’t even grasp this bit of information, then don’t do it before it’s too late.
“There is a sleeper cell among them, codenamed ‘Dark Flame’, and they were the ones who did several assassinations a year ago, only later, this cell codenamed ‘Dark Flame’ detached from the Shanghai District and existed independently, and except for the head of the Shanghai District and the specific traffic agents, no one knows their identity and where they are.” Lin Shiqun explained.
“How does Mr. Lin know all this?” Chen Youtao asked in surprise.
“Because, not long ago, a key figure from the Shanghai district joined our peace movement cause, and we learned numerous key intelligence information from his mouth, and this is only a small part of it.” Lin Shiqun said.
“Lin Sang, what makes you prove that this is the work of the Blue Clothes Society’s ‘Dark Flame’?” Major Lin snapped.
“Do you all remember the case of the former SH Citizens’ Association’s president, Lu Hong, who was assassinated in front of his house?” Lin Shiqun spoke eloquently, “It was the work of this ‘Dark Fire’, I don’t know if it was mercy or a deliberate warning, Lu Hong ended up leaving a life behind, and at that time, he failed to hear any obvious gunshots at the scene, and the forensic investigation room failed to catch any murderers afterward.”
“Silencer!” Sasaki and the others were all smart people, and immediately reacted.
