Chapter 73 Ambush
The night is like Kudzu.
Liu Zhengfeng went downstairs alone, found a rickshaw, and went to the Japanese military police headquarters.
When they arrived at the destination, Liu Zhengfeng asked the driver to go back. After driving about 200 meters , Liu Zhengfeng asked the driver to stop, got off the car and paid the fare.
After the driver left, Liu Zhengfeng carefully observed the houses nearby and finally selected his target. There was a hotel on the left side of the road called Zhonghe Hotel, which was three stories high.
Liu Zhengfeng walked in and rented a room on the third floor facing the street. He opened the window and looked in the direction of the Japanese Military Police Headquarters. It was estimated to be no more than 250 meters away. From his high vantage point, the yard where the Japanese Military Police Headquarters parked its car was clearly visible.
He walked out of the room and carefully observed the doors and windows of the corridor and the escape route downstairs. He found that there were streets on both sides of the building and there were many escape routes.
After doing all this, he returned to the house provided by Song Yun.
In fact, Liu Zhengfeng and Chen Wei could have stayed overnight in a hotel, but in order to test whether Song Yun and Song Wenhuai were reliable, Liu Zhengfeng took the risk of staying in the house provided by Song Yun for one night.
For safety reasons, the two took turns sleeping and one of them remained on guard at all times. Fortunately, nothing happened that night.
This also made Liu Zhengfeng feel relieved , proving that his judgment was correct.
According to Song Wenhuai's promise last night, he will attack Fu Tianlai on his way to the Japanese Military Police Headquarters today.
Liu Zhengfeng prepared to set up an ambush at the Zhonghe Hotel, 250 meters away from the Japanese military police headquarters. If Song Wenhuai broke his promise and did not take action, he would personally shoot Fu Tianlai.
The two of them simply washed up and went out.
It was already bright outside, and the two of them had a quick breakfast and prepared to set off for Zhonghe Hotel.
Since Liu Zhengfeng was too conspicuous with his camouflaged sniper rifle, the two of them each found a rickshaw to get around.
After arriving at the Zhonghe Hotel, Chen Wei stayed downstairs to observe and ensure that the escape route was unobstructed.
Liu Zhengfeng went straight to the room he had booked last night, removed the camouflage of the sniper rifle, loaded the bullets into the magazine, and waited for the development of the situation.
According to what Song Wenhuai said yesterday, the meeting was held at ten o'clock, so according to common sense, the participants should have arrived at the Japanese Military Police Headquarters around nine-thirty.
Liu Zhengfeng kept looking at his watch. At nine o'clock, he opened the window. In order not to attract too much attention and suspicion, he only opened the window a little bit, just enough to see the parking lot of the Japanese Military Police Headquarters clearly.
At 9:10, a black Ford drove into the parking lot of the Military Police Headquarters. Liu Zhengfeng immediately raised his sniper rifle and put his eyes through the scope. The Ford stopped and Song Wenhuai walked out.
Liu Zhengfeng smiled slightly and put down the sniper rifle.
Ten minutes later, another Ford car drove into the Japanese military police headquarters.
Liu Zhengfeng put his eyes through the sight again, and this time a fat man got out of the car. Although he didn't know who this person was, he was definitely not Fu Tianlai. Liu Zhengfeng had seen Fu Tianlai's photo.
Liu Zhengfeng put down his sniper rifle and looked at his watch. It was 9:25. Why hadn't Fu Tianlai arrived yet? He suddenly felt inexplicably irritated.
A few minutes later, fierce gunfire suddenly came from the distance.
Liu Zhengfeng was startled and then realized that the gunshot must be from Song Wenhuai's men attacking Fu Tianlai.
The crackling sound of gunfire was like frying beans, and a smile appeared on Liu Zhengfeng's face. Judging from the intensity of the gunfire, Fu Tianlai would probably be shot into a sieve, right?
The gunfire lasted for about five minutes and then stopped. Then the Japanese military police headquarters drove out several three-wheeled motorcycles and sped towards the direction of the gunfire.
Liu Zhengfeng knew that there would definitely be police, plainclothes officers or security guards imposing martial law on the roads near the scene of the attack on Fu Tianlai, and there might even be soldiers from the Japanese military police headquarters, so it would be best not to go out now.
At noon, Chen Wei, who had gone out to investigate, came back and said that the martial law on the street had been lifted and people could move around normally, but she was not sure what had happened.
The two discussed it and decided to return to the residence provided by Song Yun.
Since Song Wenhuai has already attacked Fu Tianlai, it means that he has no subjective intention of becoming his enemy. He can still stay there for the time being, and he can also get relevant information from Song Wenhuai and his sister.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned to Song Yun's house and saw Song Yun walking back and forth in the yard, looking very anxious.
Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Miss Song, why are you here?"
As soon as Song Yun saw Liu Zhengfeng and Chen Wei, she rushed over and pulled them upstairs.
"Where did you go? I was so worried. There was a gunfight on Wutong Street this morning. I thought it was you. I heard that the attackers were shot dead. I thought you... I thought you were all dead. Fortunately, you are okay. God bless you."
Seeing Song Yun's true feelings and her concern for him, Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but be moved and felt that he was right to believe in her.
"Ms. Song, thank you for your concern. You said the attacker was beaten to death. Then... who was the person who was attacked? Is he dead too?"
Song Yun frowned and said, "The person who was attacked seems to be the police chief Fu Tianlai. I heard that he was only injured, not dead, and is now being treated in the hospital."
Liu Zhengfeng and Chen Wei looked at each other in disappointment.
Chen Wei's brows were filled with worry, and she asked, "Then do you know which hospital Fu Tianlai is in?"
Song Yun shook her head helplessly: "I don't know."
Chen Wei frowned and said to herself, "The gunfire was so intense, how could he not be dead?"
Song Yun said: "I know what you are doing is very dangerous, you must be more careful."
Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. We will."
Just then, footsteps were heard on the stairwell.
Liu Zhengfeng was startled and immediately grabbed it, but it turned out that Song Wenhuai was going upstairs alone. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sir, things didn't go well. It failed."
Before Song Wenhuai even went upstairs, he shouted hurriedly.
"Brother, why are you here? How do you know them?"
Song Yun looked at Song Wenhuai in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
Song Wenhuai looked a little embarrassed. After all, the way he met Liu Zhengfeng and others was not very glorious.
"Xiao Yun, you are here too. We just met not long ago."
Seeing that Song Wenhuai was speaking hesitantly and unnaturally, Song Yun couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Brother, are you hiding something from me?"
Song Wenhuai frowned and said, "I'll tell you when we get home. I have something to do with them now, so you go back first."
Chen Wei said coldly: "It's nothing shameful, there's no need to hide it from her."
Song Wenhuai frowned and said, "She is still young, I just don't want her to get involved in these things."
Chen Wei sneered: "But she has already gotten involved."
Song Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I'm twenty-one years old, not a child anymore. I'm worried about you, you know? I understand everything, but there are some things I just don't want to say."
Song Wenhuai had a painful expression, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I won't hide it from her. This morning, I sent eight people to assassinate Fu Tianlai, but it failed. Fu Tianlai was only injured, not dead, and seven of the people I sent died, and another was seriously injured and was caught by them. He is now being treated in the hospital."
Song Yun was surprised and happy, her mouth opened wide, and she couldn't believe that her brother would do such a thing.
Liu Zhengfeng immediately grasped the key point: "Does this injured person know that you were the one who ordered the assassination of Fu Tianlai?"
Song Wenhuai nodded with a sad face: "His name is Wang Lin, and he is the person in charge of this operation. If he betrays me, then I will be finished."
Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Things are not as bad as you think."
