Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

Chapter 182 Yoshiko Kawashima's End

After tidying his clothes, waiter Zhao Yiyue carried the tray up to the second floor. He exchanged a glance with Chen Jiehua from a distance and nodded slightly.

They took one down so quickly?
Chen Jiehua, accompanied by Fujiwara Mio, carrying wine glasses, walked towards Shiozawa Koichi.

After observing, Chen Jiehua noticed that the fat man on the west side was not there, and a strange naval lieutenant commander was chatting with Yoshiko Kawashima.

It seems we need to cover for them and get them out of here in five minutes at most. If they keep drinking, the one with kidney problems will start going to the toilet frequently, and the body will be discovered sooner or later. We can't gamble.

Chen Jiehua led Fujiwara Mio to Shiozawa Koichi, introduced them to each other, toasted each other, and then led Mio around downstairs to greet the consulate officers she knew.

Out of the corner of Chen Jiehua's eye, he saw yet another lieutenant colonel fail to invite Kawashima Yoshiko to dance, while Kawashima Yoshiko's gaze kept following Chen Jiehua and Fujiwara Mio's movements.

It seems that Yoshiko Kawashima's target today is still me. But I don't want to get involved with her. If I do, and she gets killed later, it will be a real hassle to investigate.

Five minutes had passed, and Tanaka Ryukichi, who had gone to the restroom, still hadn't returned. Kawashima Yoshiko became alert; something was wrong! She touched her inner thigh and got up to walk towards the restroom.

Chen Jiehua witnessed Kawashima Yoshiko's entire movement. What a formidable woman! She was carrying a gun! Zhao Shiyu and Zhao Yiyue followed, both in danger! He had no choice but to intervene!
"Mio, wait here for a moment. I'm going to the restroom."

Just as Chen Jiehua finished speaking and Meixu nodded, gunshots rang out from the direction of the restroom! Upon hearing the gunshots, a commotion broke out in the hall. Shiozawa Koichi's two guards reacted quickly, drawing their guns and assuming defensive stances, protecting Shiozawa behind them.

"Go protect the commander!" Chen Jiehua shouted as he ran towards the restroom, pulling back several guards who were about to run in that direction.

Because Chen Jiehua was wearing a suit and tuxedo, he didn't carry a gun or a knife. When he reached the corner, he realized that if he went over there like that, it might be difficult to explain later.

Now that the gunfire has started, surely the two veteran agents, Zhao Yiyue and Zhao Shiyu, are no match for Kawashima Yoshiko?
Chen Jiehua chose to peek inside from the corner with the others, but there was nothing unusual in the passageway. Guards and Marines rushed in quickly, pushing aside the onlookers, and rushed through the passageway.

The guards and soldiers found only two bodies in the restroom, a man and a woman.

The Marines signaled that it was safe, and Shibayama Masao approached with his gun. Chen Jiehua followed behind Shibayama, carefully moving towards the restroom.

"Ah! It's Ms. Yoshiko Kawashima!"

Chen Jiehua saw Kawashima Yoshiko on the ground and shouted.

"Does Aoki-kun know him?"

"Hehe, I met him in Beiping, but I never had a chance to make a move. I saw him as soon as I entered the door and went to say hello, but his guards stopped me."

"A bodyguard?" What kind of woman would bring a bodyguard? Shibayama Masao was a little puzzled.

"Yoshi! That's his bodyguard!" Chen Jiehua saw the soldiers drag Tanaka Ryukichi out of the men's restroom and lay him flat on the ground, revealing his face.

The two succeeded, but why was there a gunshot? Chen Jiehua looked at Kawashima Yoshiko's hand, and sure enough, the muzzle was still steaming; she had fired the shot!
"Look, her gun is smoking! She fired it!" Chen Jiehua continued to guide them, slowing down Chai Shanchangsheng's train of thought and pace, giving the two more time to evacuate.

"Look for bloodstains, someone on the other side is injured! Everyone else stay away, protect the scene!"

The bathroom was dimly lit, but Chen Jiehua quickly spotted the first drop of blood on the first step of the stairs next to the toilet based on the reflection. There was another drop on the second step, but a tiny trace of blood had been wiped away on the third step!

The two of them had plenty of time; they could have wiped everything off if they wanted. Why did they deliberately only wipe off the third one, leaving the other two and the wiping marks? It was a hint to me!
"There's blood on the stairs! The killer has gone upstairs! Quick, go upstairs and surround the area!"

After the soldiers and guards went upstairs, a slight noise came from the storage room on the other side of the stairs.

Chen Jiehua leaned against the wall pillar, took out a first-aid kit from his spatial storage, and gently knocked on the door. The door opened a crack, and Chen Jiehua quickly handed over the first-aid kit.

What to do? They need to cover their retreat, but unfortunately, there's no back door, so they can only go out through the front. Upstairs, they're searching room by room for the murderer, while downstairs, the curious kids are getting bolder and bolder, pushing and shoving each other, and a large crowd slowly gathers to watch the spectacle. Someone recognizes the two people lying on the ground and speaks loudly, but no one notices that two more people have suddenly appeared in the crowd.

Chen Jiehua arrived at the hall and saw that Shiozawa Koichi's two guards had already escorted Shiozawa away, and Mio was walking in this direction.

There are only two guards at the gate now!

"You two come here and protect Miss Mio as she leaves, then return home!"

"Hi!"

"Everyone else, get out of here immediately! If they find the killer upstairs, there might be a fight, or even an explosion. Get out of here right now!"

Without any guards, the hall descended into chaos, and the two easily escaped the club through the front door amidst the flustered crowd.

After struggling for a long time, Shibayama Masashi went upstairs but found nothing. Looking back at the stairs, the bloodstains were still there, indicating that the person must have gone upstairs.

"Did you search the rooftop? Is it possible that the murderer escaped through the rooftop?"

"Ah! I see!"
-
Dividing line —
In the safe house diagonally opposite his home, Chen Jiehua met the injured Zhao Yiyue.

"How about that? There's always someone stronger than you. That woman is no simpleton, is she? Even a martial arts master who always considers himself extraordinary got bitten by her."

"Let's not talk about it. I thought we'd already dealt with the most difficult one, Fatty Pig, so the woman he was guarding was no big deal. I didn't want to kill the woman and was going to have Old Cat do it, but as soon as we got to the restroom, that woman turned around and shot us!"

"Luckily, I reacted quickly and avoided being shot in the right arm, otherwise I would have been shot in the heart."

"You were shot in the heart, did you think about that? This has exposed me too."

"..."

"Therefore, never underestimate your enemy, including women and children! Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit."

Where is Comrade Old Cat?

"I told him to leave first. I can take care of this minor injury myself."

"Here, let me clean your wound."

……

Chen Jiehua performed surgery on Zhao Yiyue's arm, removed the bullet, and bandaged the wound after applying medicine.

"You even know Western surgery! When did you learn it?"

"Don't ask so many questions! The more you know, the faster you'll die!"

"I'm leaving Shanghai for Kagoshima tomorrow. You should rest tomorrow, don't go out during the day, and only go out at night. Be well disguised and leave Shanghai as soon as possible by water."

"What happens next? Is Shanghai just going to abandon them?"

"Don't worry about things that aren't your concern, mind your own business."
