Chapter 47 Make a Bigger Scene

Shanghai, City Hall, Office of the Director of the Economic Department.

Chen Yang closed his eyes slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Suzuhara Shingo didn't give him much time to consider; he had to decide whether to do it or not within a day.

In fact, Chen Yang knew very well that this was not a multiple-choice question at all.

When Yusuke Ino asked him to deal with Jisaburo Hirata, he actually only had one option left.

The question is how to kill him, not whether or not to kill him.

Chen Yang pulled out the German-made pistol from its holster and checked the magazine, which was already full of bullets.

With a sigh, Chen Yang put away his gun, got up, picked up the clothes hanging to the side, went out, and told Li Ningyu that he was going out to take care of some business.

Li Ningyu thoughtfully asked if she needed any help.

Chen Yang waved his hand, telling her to just focus on her own business.
Once outside, Chen Yang specifically requested a black Dodge sedan from the motorcade in the name of the Economic Department.

These cars are considered standard issue for civil servants. They are generally divided into vans and sedans. As the director of the Economic Department, Chen Yang naturally has the authority to requisition cars.

Driving his car, Chen Yang did not go directly to Jiangnan Wharf, but instead parked it downstairs at Yong'an Department Store on Wutong Road in Huajie.

He then went to a department store and bought a leather jacket and a beret.

Back in the car, Chen Yang changed his suit into a leather jacket, put on a beret, pulled the brim down, walked to the roadside, hailed a rickshaw, and headed straight for the Jiangnan Wharf.

Jiangnan Wharf
This wharf was originally called South Road Wharf.
In 1865, the Jiangnan Arsenal was established in Shanghai, and the South Road Wharf was requisitioned by the arsenal, becoming one of the five major commercial wharves.

Over time, the former General Bureau of Machine Manufacturing has undergone several changes and is now renamed Jiangnan Shipbuilding Company.

And this South Road Wharf has become the Jiangnan Wharf.

As one of the oldest wharves in Shanghai, this wharf not only handles inland waterway shipping, but also sometimes hosts passenger ships.

When the rickshaw took Chen Yang to the Jiangnan Wharf, there was still more than half an hour before the transaction time given by Yusuke Ino.

Chen Yang got off the rickshaw and sat down in front of a teahouse by the dock.

These tea stalls were extremely common at the docks of Shanghai, selling not only tea but also some snacks.

The prices are extremely low; a pot of tea costs only two cents, and snacks are extra.

Their main customers are laborers who wait for work at the docks early in the morning.

Sometimes, passersby would come in to ask for a pot of tea, rest their feet, or wait for someone.

Chen Yang asked the waiter to bring him a pot of tea, but his eyes kept scanning the surrounding environment.

This teahouse faces the dock gate directly, so he can see the people coming and going at a glance.

The waiter filled the cup with hot water and casually reminded the customer, "Sir, be careful, it's hot."

He turned around and went to greet other guests.

Chen Yang picked up his teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in the distance.
Chen Yang didn't know many Japanese people in Shanghai, but the man in front of him was one of them.

Although the other person covered most of his face with a hat, Chen Yang recognized him at a glance. It was none other than Shinichi Ando from the Joint Special Higher Police Operations Team.

In an instant, Chen Yang seemed to understand something.

It seems that Suzuhara Shingo was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he deliberately left him a backup plan.

No wonder, all of Chen Yang's information proves that he is just a college student who has just graduated from Kyushu University and returned to China, not some professional agent.

Asking him to kill right off the bat was indeed putting him in a difficult position. Ando Shinichi was clearly there to prevent the mission from failing. Ando Shinichi walked past Chen Yang without greeting him or even glancing at him, heading straight to the archway at the dock that read "Jiangnan Wharf."

He pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled a cloud of pale blue smoke.

Now that he knew that the person who contacted Hirata Jisaburo was Ando Shinichi, Chen Yang felt much more at ease.

While sipping tea, he observed Shinichi Ando's movements.

Before long, another short man appeared on the dock.

The moment this person appeared, he caught Chen Yang's attention. He had a round face, wore round glasses on his nose, and had a distinctive mustache below.

This is the target of this assassination attempt, Hirata Jisaburo.

Hirata Jisaburo didn't know Chen Yang, so naturally he wouldn't notice that Chen Yang was observing him.

His gaze remained fixed on the direction of the archway, and upon spotting Shinichi Ando, ​​Hirata Jisaburo immediately quickened his pace.

Shinichi Ando quickly spotted Jisaburo Hirata, immediately threw away his cigarette, and hurried over to greet him.

After the two met, they talked about something, but Shinichi Ando was clearly more experienced than the average person.

He led Hirata Jisaburo to one side of the archway, exposing his back to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang's German-made P08 Luger pistol was highly accurate, but its penetrating power was not strong, so Shinichi Ando didn't need to worry about the bullet passing through the other person's body and hitting himself.

However, Chen Yang did not want to act according to Shinichi Ando's plan.

Taking out fifty cents from his pocket and throwing it on the table, Chen Yang stood up, pulled his hat brim low, and walked toward Shinichi Ando.

Shinichi Ando noticed Chen Yang's actions and his smile widened. He kept talking to Jisaburo Hirata to dispel Hirata's vigilance.

As Chen Yang drew closer, Shinichi Ando prepared to provide support.

At this moment, Chen Yang reached out his hand to Shinichi Ando and said, "Ando-kun, it's been a long time."

Ando Shinichi was taken aback for a moment, and Hirata Jisaburo was also startled by Chen Yang's voice, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Yang.

"Ando-kun, you seem to be doing quite well." Chen Yang immediately acted as if he was very familiar with Shinichi Ando.

"Don't forget your old friends when there are benefits."

"Look at you, all dressed up in a sharp suit, and it's even a designer brand."

"Unlike me, all I have left after all this time is a gun."

As Chen Yang spoke, he pulled out a pistol from his back waist and, without warning, raised his hand and fired a shot at Hirata Jisaburo's forehead.

The bullet whizzed past, and before Hirata Jisaburo could even react, his eyes widened and he collapsed to the ground.

Without further ado, Chen Yang fired another shot into the opponent's left and right chests.

"Alright, alright." Ando Shinichi, who was standing to the side, reacted instantly and quickly pulled Chen Yang back.

"Chen Sang, stop hitting him. Go quickly to the third ferry terminal at the dock. There's a small boat with a blue canvas sail. He'll take you away."

"Leave this to me."

"Ando-kun, thank you for your help." Chen Yang tucked the pistol into the holster at his waist, turned around, pulled his hat down, and followed the crowd into the Jiangnan Wharf.

Seeing Chen Yang leave, Shinichi Ando squatted down and first touched Jisaburo Hirata's neck to make sure that the pulse in his neck had disappeared.

Then, without any haste, he took out the pre-prepared document from his clothes and stuffed it into the other person's clothes.

"Rest in peace, Hirata-kun," Shinichi Ando murmured, closing Hirata Jisaburo's eyes as he departed.
