Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

"What is Zhao Yiyue? What is Fujiwara Mio? Is she Suzaku? And Zhu Huiwu, Yang Dengying from Tianjin, Liu Abei who's been following you these past few days, and your sister Lin Yun'er."

"Senior sister! You know too much, or I'll kill you!"

Come on, come on~

"Don't come over here!"

But Chen Jiehua's shouts couldn't keep up with Bannagi Keiko's jump; Bannagi Keiko jumped right over and hung on Chen Jiehua.

……

after an hour.

Chen Jiehua and Keiko Sakanishi discussed the issue of transferring Shanghai's revolutionary industries.
Keiko then described some of Kawashima Naniwa's notable characteristics and dangerous points. As for his activity locations, that was not a problem for Chen Jiehua, since the Japanese only had a few places to operate in.

"Senior sister, you've been in the warehouse for a bit too long today. Is everything alright outside?"

"The shopkeeper and the three waiters outside are all Chinese, definitely our own people. They've been following my senior sister for almost ten years."

"If you can't find your senior sister in an emergency, you can contact the shopkeeper as Qingmu Qingxuan. Your senior sister has already explained everything clearly."
-
It was already dark when Chen Jiehua came out of Aoki Pharmacy. He found that he had been covered in Koichi Sakanishi's perfume again. Sigh, he decided to go find Naniwa Kawashima to vent his anger first, and then find a place to change his clothes.

As a ronin, he has killed Togo Naotada, who is very skilled in swordsmanship, and Shimizu Saburo. Killing Kawashima Naniwa should not be difficult for him. No matter how strong his swordsmanship is, he is already in his sixties or seventies. Lian Po is old and frail.

At the naval club, Chen Jiehua, disguised, found his target: Kawashima Naniwa.

Kawashima is persistently recreating the scene from back then, again and again.

After multiple reconstructions and deductions, Kawashima confirmed that there were two killers at the scene that year, and that the two did not go upstairs, but went into the storage room on the other side of the stairs.

The assassin had an accomplice who, during the chaos, guided the military police upstairs and then helped the assassin escape in the confusion.

In other words, as long as we find the person who guided us upstairs and gave advance instructions for evacuation, that person must be of high status!

Chen Jiehua was so startled he almost jumped. Are they all this good at reasoning?
If he had investigated back then, wouldn't I have been exposed in no time?

Now, six years have passed since the incident. The waiters from that time have all been replaced. The newly appointed commander, Koichi Shiozawa, who attended the banquet, died in the Hongkou Park bombing. It seems that only Masao Shibayama and Seigen Aoki remain of the senior officers from that time.
Chai Shan was the one who led the group upstairs.

Senior Sister Keiko Sakanishi saved her again.

Disguised as a waiter, Chen Jiehua quietly returned to the dressing room, changed back into his clothes, and went back to the street corner outside the club, keeping an eye on the club's entrance and exit.

Today, Ninjas Must Die - 3.

Kawashima Naniwa came out much slower than Chen Jiehua had expected. The old man was meticulous in his work, and he probably asked many waiters inside.

Following behind him, the old man deliberately headed towards the direction of Aoki Seigen's house, taking a deserted path.

He discovered the tail behind it.

"Come out."

"Hey, old man, your Chinese is pretty good." Chen Jiehua appeared casually and effortlessly.

Surprisingly, Kawashima Naniwa didn't respond to him. Instead, he suddenly started moving without warning and rushed towards Chen Jiehua.

The old man charged forward while drawing his sword. Chen Jiehua reacted quickly enough, but he was still forced to roll backward by the blade, barely managing to dodge the first blow.

But Kawashima Naniwa showed no sign of stopping, and the second slash came down immediately. Chen Jiehua, who had just rolled to dodge the first slash, didn't even have time to get his gun from his spatial storage. He could only instinctively roll to the side again to avoid the second slash.

Then, with a third consecutive stab, I retreated!

Fourth strike, I dodge!
I retreated on the fifth strike! Oh no! Each strike was faster than the last!
The Seven Wounds Slash is a very niche technique in Japanese Kendo!

The way of the sword is to either strike your opponent or exhaust yourself to death.

That old scoundrel comes out with a desperate killing move right away.
While rolling and dodging, Chen Jiehua thought for a moment and finally realized that the old man was fishing!

He was fishing from the start!
I am that fish!
It seems that Doihara, who was contemplating life in Hokkaido, has deduced something!

The sixth strike, a straight thrust, continue dodging.

The seventh strike, a horizontal slash, followed by a ghostly retreat.

The eighth cut: upward spin, ground roll.

The ninth strike, a downward slash, now is the time!

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's ninth downward slash touched the ground, Chen Jiehua jumped backward, finally freeing his hand to draw his gun. He fired two shots, "biu" "biu", and the gun went off in the head.

Then he quickly lunged forward, dodging the other's knife, and twisted his neck, trying to pull him into space, but he couldn't budge him!
Living things can't get in!?

Chen Jiehua's first reaction was to fire another shot into the heart and continue pulling until the knife went in. He then put the knife that Kawashima Naniwa had dropped into his spatial storage.

This place is not safe to stay in for long. Fortunately, his home is just ahead. Chen Jiehua did not go through the main gate. He quickly climbed over the wall into the yard and leaned against the wall to catch his breath.

I was so careless. I almost met my end at the hands of that treacherous old man, Kawashima Naniwa. The old man's swordsmanship is truly formidable.

If Naniwa Kawashima and Saburo Shimizu had switched places, he would have died on the 23rd.

With her legs weak, she couldn't possibly withstand his ninth strike.

Unfortunately, within seven steps, the gun was both fast and accurate!
I was originally going to ask Kawashima Naniwa what else Doihara had deduced, but the situation was so strange and urgent at the time. What if the old man had another killer move in store?

To be on the safe side, let's kill them first; there's no danger in killing people.

No, even dead people can be dangerous! The old guy came from the Northeast; he might be carrying finished products from Unit 731! This thought suddenly popped into Chen Jiehua's mind.

Despite the bizarre journey through time, Chen Jiehua was certain that no idea unrelated to this world would arise out of thin air in his mind.

Maybe, there really are ghosts!

When dealing with a fat, ugly guy, you can never be too careful.

After catching his breath, Chen Jiehua quietly entered the secret room on the third floor and turned on the lights.

Then, after putting on a mask and medical gloves, they took out an alcohol sprayer, released Kawashima Naniwa's body, sprayed it with disinfectant alcohol, and only then began the examination.

Chen Jiehua immediately noticed Kawashima Naniwa's left hand, with his thumb and middle finger strangely stuck in his belt!

He was clearly holding the knife with both hands!

In other words, the moment the old man bounced backward, he already knew he was going to draw his gun, and his first reaction was to reach into his belt.

If he hadn't been shot twice in the head, he would have taken the item out of his belt.

Most importantly, the old man may have miscalculated. Instead of asking him questions in a normal way, he immediately tried to pull him towards the space. When he found that he couldn't pull him, he shot him in the heart. He died before he could take out his things.

What kind of demon is hidden in the belt?
Chen Jiehua steadied himself, reaching for his belt. He felt no palpitations, indicating that there was at least no danger ahead. (End of Chapter)
