Chapter 17
"Director Chen, you can find me in the office in the middle of the night and issue a top-secret task, which shows that this task is very extraordinary. Please rest assured that as long as I, Hou Sheng, are still alive, I will definitely be able to complete the task."
Shen Jun pointed to the sofa with a gentle attitude and said, "Sit down, Deputy Captain Hou, the task you are going to perform is extraordinary this time. First, it must be absolutely confidential, and second, it is very difficult to perform. After research with the bureau, I believe that only you have the ability to complete this top-secret task, and it is most appropriate to decide to reuse you."
When Hou Sheng heard Shen Jun say this, he not only felt disgusted, but he knew very well that Shen Jun had long designated another deputy captain Huang Guangren, who could flatter him, as the captain.
Now that I’m asking him to come and say so many high-sounding words, wouldn’t I believing myself?
He is not a villain who is willing to make money and is profit-oriented and currys over the villain who is eager to get ahead. However, he felt nauseous about the lip service of Shangfeng, and he couldn't help but say dissatisfied: "Director Chen, Deputy Captain Huang Guangren is always eager to show off. Now that he has such a great opportunity, why not give it to him?"
Shen Jun heard what Hou Sheng said and said with a smile: "Hou Sheng, I'm going to tell you that Huang Guangren is a good man to fight and kill. If he is good at using his brain, he is not as good as you. Don't be emotional. As long as you can successfully complete the task, I will tell the director that you must be."
Hou Sheng said disapprovingly: "Director Chen, I have nothing to do. I just want to perform such a confidential task suddenly. If I don't hand it over to Deputy Captain Huang, I'm afraid he will say that I snatch his first prize when he finds out, but we both..."
"Don't worry, I can open the skylight and say something bright. The bureau chief and I think that only you can complete this top-secret task. Huang Guangren didn't think about it, but he really couldn't. This means that the bureau chief and I still recognize you. Are you relieved now?"
Hou Sheng felt that it would be boring to be whispered and stop when he was good. So let’s hear what top-secret tasks Director Chen arranged for him.
Director Chen told the details of the plan; Lei Yunfeng and five young officers from the 262nd Division headquarters, code-named "Mantis", were the suicide squads that sneaked into Songhu to lure the targets of the Japanese and puppet spies, attracted the secret spies and puppet spies to them in order to provide convenience for the team that followed the tracking of the top-secret missions in Songhu, code-named "Sparrow" to sneak into Songhu safely and launch a pursuit of the Japanese and puppet spies and to provide convenience.
The "Sparrow" operation team has another task, which is to monitor whether the members of the "Mantis" group are in contact with the underground party at any time on the way and arrive in Songhu. Once they are found, they will be eliminated.
Hou Sheng received the order that at the last moment when the Box passenger ship was about to close the ladder and set sail, he finally boarded the ship with two agents.
After boarding the boat, he quickly found the cabin given by the Military Intelligence Bureau in advance. Hou Sheng left the two spies in the room. He pretended to be a wandering passenger, walked casually in front of the door of the 3011-3014 position in the corridor of the third-class cabin. He heard the sound of talking inside and left with confidence.
Hou Sheng, who returned to the room, was about to send two spies to monitor Lei Yunfeng and five others, but suddenly heard that the passengers from rooms 3011-3014 were killed, which scared him to the scene of the murder with two spies.
Hou Sheng ordered two spies to be alert in the corridor and arrest them immediately if they find suspicious persons, and they will not be killed if they resist.
He walked into the room at the assassination scene. When he found that the four male passengers killed were disfigured by the killer's face, he not only cursed in his heart with anger: "Don't ask me to catch such a cruel killer, otherwise I will tell them not to die well."
After investigation, Hou Sheng's guessed age was initially determined from the clothes of the four male passengers who were killed, four officers from Leiyun Peak who were sent to Songhu and performed the top secret mission of the "Mantis".
Hou Sheng did not find Su Xiaoman who was on the mission together, not only suspected whether the four male passengers who were killed were Lei Yunfeng and others.
If it weren't for them, then what are the identities of the four killed passengers and why did they appear in the cabin of Leiyun Peak? Where are the five people from Leiyun Peak?
If Lei Yunfeng and others were assassinated, why was Su Xiaoman, the only woman, not there? Could it be that Su Xiaoman was forcibly taken away by the killer? If this is true, Su Xiaoman would be very dangerous at this time.
If Leiyun Peak and the others were suddenly killed in the room by the killer, what are the identities of these killers? Why did they kill Leiyun Peak? Could it be that Leiyun Peak and the others leaked the secret mission, and was learned by Japanese and puppet spies, and suddenly killed them in the middle?
If it was a major case done by the Japanese and puppet spies, wouldn’t the “Sparrow” operation team led by Hou Sheng be the killer’s target?
The first thing to do now is to find the captain immediately and understand some details about Lei Yunfeng and others boarding the passenger ship. Then, try every means to find Su Xiaoman on the ship. This is the only breakthrough to crack this assassination.
Hou Sheng looked at the four corpses killed on the ground a few times again, shook his head in his heart and stood up with pain, turned around and walked out of the assassination scene. Just as the security guard was scolding an old man with a problem with his eyes, he not only said a few words.
Lei Yun Peak, who was disguised as an old man, was facing Hou Sheng face to face. The breath he felt when he smelled was exactly the same as the breath that remained in his brain in his coma. If he hadn't disguised as an old man, he would have been recognized by the detective master of the Military Intelligence Bureau in front of him.
Although Lei Yunfeng was snatched from the gun by Deputy Captain Hou Shenghou of the Military Intelligence Bureau and sent to the hospital for emergency rescue, he was in a semi-coma.
Besides, Hou Sheng handed over Lei Yunfeng to the hospital and immediately left the hospital to report to Shen Jun, director of the inspection office.
Lei Yun Peak woke up by rescue and never saw Hou Sheng at all, otherwise he would not have been able to recognize him in front of his life-savior.
But at this moment, he met Hou Sheng who was sneaking into the Shanghai operation at the same time on the way. During this extraordinary period, Lei Yunfeng not only improved his vigilance.
Hou Sheng no longer paid attention to the elderly with eye problems and ordered the security guard on the boat: "Continue to protect the scene. No one is allowed to approach without my order."
Lei Yunfeng walked slowly towards the deck of the stern with his old pace, sometimes shaking his head and turning back, but he was not as curious as other passengers. His most urgent idea at this time was to find out the assassination killers on the ship as fast as possible to determine what the identities of these killers were.
If these killers cannot be arrested and interrogated and left to be free, they may be assassinated again during the long three-day route journey.
He stood on the deck, looking at the tumbling waves on the river, but he had no intention of enjoying the gorgeous scenery on both sides.
There are not many tourists visiting on the deck, because it is setting sun, and there is no sunlight blocked by the mountains on the deck. The sky to the west reflects the mountains on both sides of the river, making the mountains more majestic and breathtaking.
Just as Lei Yunfeng frowned and seemed to be admiring the lingering landscape, his extremely sensitive ears heard a message that shocked him through the air.
