Chapter 905: Not So Easy to Fooled
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Consulate, third floor office.
Li Xianshu leaned back in her chair with her eyes slightly closed, not knowing what she was thinking.
Knock, knock, knock on the door. Li Xianshu suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Hisao Matsushima pushed open the office door and walked into the office holding a thick file bag.
"Ma'am, this is the information you requested."
Li Xianshu rubbed his brows and said, "Put it here."
Matsushima Hisao put the documents on the desk as instructed and looked at Lee Hyun-sook, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Matsushima-kun, do you have any questions for me?"
Matsushima Hisao hesitated and said, "Madam, I don't understand why you suddenly want to retrieve Minister Chen's background information."
"His identity has been checked seven times, and there is no problem at all."
Li Xianshu said slowly: "This assassination incident is too problematic."
"Chen Yang's performance was so outstanding that it was unexpected."
"Chen Gongshu's performance is totally inconsistent with his standard as the King of Assassination."
"Sometimes I wonder if Chen Gongshu is getting old and his skills are not as good as before."
"But I've read the report from the 76th Special Training Brigade. He can fire three shots in seven seconds and hit the target 100% of the time."
"And the distance between them was less than five meters at the time."
"With Chen Gongshu's skill level, he wouldn't have fired three shots and only hit Chen Yang's arm."
"In other words, even if Chen Yang's reaction is faster, Chen Gongshu is confident that he can kill him with one shot."
"Based on my analysis, there are only three possibilities for this situation."
"First, there is something wrong with Mayor Zhou. He may be a member of the Military Control Commission, and Chen Gongshu is acting according to his orders."
"Second, Minister Chen has a problem. He and Chen Gongshu staged a play together to force Mayor Zhou to leave and disrupt the establishment of diplomatic relations between Nanjing and the Soviet Union."
"Third, Chen Gongshu received an order from the Military Control Commission to use his life as a bargaining chip to stir up internal strife in Nanjing and thereby undermine the establishment of diplomatic relations between Nanjing and the Soviet Union."
"No matter which possibility it is, this incident is definitely related to the Military Control Commission."
"Because of something like this, the one who benefits is definitely the mountain city."
"What we need to do now is to unravel the mystery and eliminate the suspicion of Minister Chen and Mayor Zhou."
Matsushima Hisao said thoughtfully: "Madam, we have checked Minister Chen's information many times."
"From you to General Kagezuo, General Doihara, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's Special Operations Division and the Information Division."
"We visited Jinling more than ten times and found no problems."
"Moreover, considering Minister Chen's personality, it seems difficult to persuade him without sufficient benefits."
"Even if the Military Control Commission is willing to pay a huge price, it seems impossible for Minister Chen to make such a choice."
Li Xianshu frowned but did not refute what Matsushima Hisao said.
She is a psychology expert and believes in behavioral logic.
He has always believed that everyone has reasons and motivations for doing anything.
She also thought that Chen Yang's behavior did not seem to be consistent with his personality.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, this character setting is fake, which would be troublesome.
If this character was deliberately created from the beginning, it means that the Chen Yang that everyone has seen in the past few years is not himself at all.
After all, the best scam is the one that's a scam from the beginning.
But this is impossible. Chen Yang's information has been documented since he was in his teens. He is a businessman, and his actions are 100% consistent with the habits of a businessman.
It fits this person's personality perfectly.
Therefore, Li Xianshu was also hesitant, wondering whether there was any evidence to support her suspicion.
Matsushima Hisao looked at Li Xianshu's hesitant eyes and continued, "The most important thing is that in addition to Chen Gongshu shooting Minister Chen, Minister Chen was also assassinated by the Military Control Commission on his way back to Meihua Tower."
"If he was acting together with Chen Gongshu, then this assassination would be unnecessary."
"In my opinion, it seems that the Military Control Commission wants to kill people."
"Yes." Li Xianshu looked up at Matsushima Hisao and said, "Did those KMT assassins leave any alive? Do you know who arranged it?"
"Since they know Chen Yang's route back clearly, they must have been in Shanghai for more than one or two days."
Matsushima Hisao shook his head and said, "They are all dead. These are real death warriors. Almost none of them chose to retreat when facing the imperial soldiers."
"The only person who could command so many assassins to launch a suicide attack could be Mr. A from the South China Intelligence Department."
"Personally, I still think Mayor Zhou's problem is more serious."
"If there is something wrong with Minister Chen, then the target of these assassins should be Mayor Zhou."
Li Xianshu seemed a little shaken. After a long silence, she said firmly, "Let's check it one last time."
"Mr. Songdao, bring the clerk from the Jin Ya Quan shop to Shanghai. I want to interrogate him personally this time."
"Hi...."
Shanghai, Army Hospital, Chen Yang stood in front of the window, feeling a little depressed.
The appearance of Chen Gongshu caused a loophole in his plan.
Although he tried his best to prove that it was Mayor Zhou who was behind the incident, he knew very well that even if he could convince most people, Li Xianshu would never believe it so easily.
She is a person who pays attention to behavioral logic and motivation in doing things.
Mayor Zhou's personality and his behavioral logic would not lead him to make such a reckless action plan.
Moreover, Chen Gongshu’s strength was such that he couldn’t hit the target with three shots at a distance of less than ten meters.
In her opinion, this behavior is either a self-torture tactic or a tactic to sow discord.
The Death Plan originally designed by Chen Yang could increase the resentment towards Mayor Zhou.
But Chen Gongshu's disturbance made Chen Yang very passive.
None of the back-up plans he had designed before could be used at this time.
Because at this time, no matter what you do, it seems to be deliberately targeting Mayor Zhou.
The more you do, the less suspicion Mayor Zhou will have.
Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door and the director of the Shanghai Army Hospital, Major General Hamada, walked into the ward with a group of doctors.
"Minister Chen, you seem to be in good spirits."
"Lie down first and let Dr. Miki check the healing of your wound."
Chen Yang quickly lay back on the hospital bed.
Doctor Miki removed the gauze that wrapped the wound, checked the wound on Chen Yang's arm, and praised: "Minister Chen has a very good physical condition."
"Your wounds are healing better than we expected."
Chen Yang asked: "Doctor Sanmu, when can I be discharged from the hospital? I have a lot of things on hand and can't delay."
"This." Doctor Sanmu looked up at the dean, then turned to Chen Yang and said, "Minister Chen, you are very lucky. The opponent's shot did not injure the bones, but only caused penetrating injuries to the muscles."
"If you need it, you can be discharged as early as tomorrow."
