Chapter 549: Tamarind

Armed. On the lookout.

The Japanese invaders outside have been completely wiped out.

The map shows that there are no more red dots nearby, but Zhang Yong is still very careful.

There's no way around it, this line of work is really dangerous.

The biggest fear is getting carried away after victory.

You could die at any moment from being overjoyed. That would be the end.

It's quiet.

It's as if there are no more screams.

After the battle is over, the scene becomes very strange. Dead silence.

No one is screaming.

Could it be that there are no wounded? Have they all been killed?

It's terrifying...

It's quiet behind me too. It's creepy.

I turn around. I don't notice anything unusual. The person closest to me is also more than 50 metres away.

After a long while...

'Wang Dong!'

'Wang Dong!'

Suddenly, someone outside called.

It was Zhao Guanglin's voice. He was fine. It sounded like he was fine.

'I'm inside.'

'You come in one by one!'

Zhang Yong replied.

Even though they were on the same side, they had to be vigilant.

What if there was a traitor?

The Japanese had caught up with him as soon as he had appeared in the nightclub.

What a coincidence.

He hadn't felt anything wrong just now. Now that he thought about it, someone must have ratted on him. Otherwise, the Japanese couldn't have been so well informed.

Who could it be?

'I'm coming in. Don't shoot,' Zhao Guanglin said.

'Come in,' Zhang Yong replied.

A moment later, Zhao Guanglin spread his hands and walked slowly in from the outside.

He knew that Zhang Yong was a bit of a nervous wreck. The guy was more afraid of dying. If things went wrong, he might just open fire on him.

No, it wasn't a possibility. It was an absolute certainty.

He walked slowly all the way in and saw the Japanese corpses lying on the ground.

Almost all of the Japanese invaders had been shot full of bullet holes. He knew exactly what had happened.

This Zhang Yong really did shoot like crazy!

He probably emptied one magazine. And probably fired the second one as well.

Those Japanese invaders were also miserable. They had encountered a strange person like Zhang Yong.

He came up to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong felt relieved.

He stepped out from behind the pillar. He went over to the dead Japanese woman.

He looked closely to make sure it was a woman.

Curious and surprised. Could it be that there really was a female Japanese soldier?

Could it be a legendary female ninja?

Or perhaps she was a member of the Tokkotai? A part-time killer?

'Zhao, take a look,'

'What?'

'See if she's a woman,'

'She is a woman!'

'Are you sure? She is a woman, isn't she?'

'Yes, she is,'

Zhao Guanglin answered affirmatively.

He didn't understand why Zhang Yong was placing so much emphasis on this.

A female Japanese soldier, that's not strange!

Even the Japanese invaders had women. It seems a bit strange for a woman to be a killer.

Zhang Yong began to search the female Japanese invader's body, hoping to find some valuable information. Zhao Guanglin hurriedly turned his face away. Men and women are not supposed to be intimate with each other. He didn't dare to look any longer.

'Feng Jiang!'

'Old-fashioned!'

Zhang Yong labelled Zhao Guanglin.

He didn't distinguish between men and women when touching corpses.

However, not much was found on the female Japanese invader's body.

There was only a Browning M1935 pistol. It was new. But nothing special. There were more and more of these new guns.

There was also a photo. It showed a cute little girl. With a round face.

Alas, this Japanese soldier had violated a taboo.

How could he bring a photo with him into battle!

He continued to search...

He found a booklet. He took it out. It looked like a code book?

But on closer inspection, it doesn't look like one. Although there are numbers and Japanese characters on it, there aren't many.

The booklet only has eight pages, with about 30 numbers on each page. There are more than 200 in total.

A normal code book shouldn't have so few numbers.

There are also two keys.

They are very old-fashioned. Round. There are many nicks on them. It's obvious that they are not ordinary locks.

There is also a cross-shaped notch on the top of one of them. After pondering for a while, he has no idea at all.

Give up.

Put it away.

Stand up. Turn her upside down. Face down.

Looking at her face is upsetting. She's not pretty. She deserved to die. He has always judged people by their appearance...

'Who is she?' Zhao Guanglin asked curiously.

'I don't know,' Zhang Yong shook his head.

'The Japanese invaders outside are all men. She's the only woman.'

'Were the Japanese invaders killed?'

'Killed.'

'That's good.'

Zhang Yong nodded silently.

Suddenly, the map prompts that a large number of armed personnel are approaching again.

There are a lot of them. There are nearly a hundred of them.

Good grief. Who is this? Is this the team of some traitor?

Be on your guard.

Suddenly, a marker appears at the edge of the map. Oh, it's Chen Gongpeng.

It turns out that Chen Gongpeng is leading the men.

A sigh of relief.

'Are there many casualties outside?' Zhang Yong suddenly remembers.

The Japanese invaders seemed very fierce just now!

I guess there won't be many casualties.

'Sigh...'

Zhao Guanglin let out a long sigh. His face was gloomy.

Zhang Yong knew that the situation was very serious. It was estimated that there were many casualties.

After all, Pang Yu had selected only rookies. In a real battle, they would almost certainly be bullied.

If it weren't for the large number of people, it was estimated that the entire army would be wiped out.

Sigh...

I never thought...

Soon after, Chen Gongpeng hurriedly arrived.

By his side were, indeed, the masters of the Wuyuan Pistol Group.

Upon their arrival, they immediately took control of the nightclub's surroundings and put the entire scene on alert.

Chen Gongpeng rushed in excitedly, 'Zhang Yong! Zhang Yong!'

Zhang Yong silently stepped forward.

Chen Gongpeng looked him up and down, 'Are you okay? Good, good, good!'

It seemed like he was greatly relieved.

He immediately set off as fast as he could after receiving the order, and fortunately arrived in time.

Zhang Yong is fine.

That's good.

Otherwise, the next thing would be trouble.

Anyway, this Zhang Yong is really in demand. But also very hot. Want to use his abilities. But also worried that he might mess up.

'By the way, have you seen a Japanese woman?'

'Did you kill this one?'

'Did you kill it?'

Chen Gongpeng hurriedly checked the ground.

The Japanese woman had just been turned over and was lying on her stomach, so he hadn't seen clearly.

Zhang Yong kicked her foot.

Chen Gongpeng hurriedly crouched down and turned the body over. He looked at it carefully.

'It's her!'

Chen Gongpeng said slowly after a moment.

He felt relieved.

But he also felt a little incredulous.

'You killed her?'

'Yes.'

'How?'

'A random gunshot killed her,'

Zhang Yong answered honestly.

Chen Gongpeng was about to speak, but then stopped. His lips moved. He didn't say anything.

'Who is she?'

Zhang Yong was curious.

It seemed that this female Japanese invader was a famous person?

Otherwise, Chen Gongpeng would not have inquired about her as soon as he arrived. He was also very surprised to find that she had been killed.

'She, code name Tamarind.'

'What?'

'Tamarind. A kind of spice.'

'What does she do?'

'A member of the Japanese Black Dragon Society. A member of the Pioneer Corps. An important member of the Huoyao Society. She has been operating in the Rehe area.'

'Is she very powerful?'

'She...'

Chen Gongpeng paused.

He wanted to say that this woman was quite something. But the words stuck in his throat.

If he said that this Japanese woman was too powerful, and she was killed by Zhang Yong, wouldn't that make Zhang Yong seem very powerful? Pish. How powerful is this Zhang Yong? Does he not know?

He said that she was killed by a hail of bullets, and he wasn't lying. Zhang Yong had no choice but to shoot her in a hail of bullets.

Otherwise, you tell him to try shooting seriously? He's probably the one who dies.

'Huoyao Society...'

Zhang Yong remembered the name.

It seemed like someone had mentioned it before. This was the second time it had appeared.

From the sound of Chen Gongpeng, it seemed like this Huoyao Society was related to the Black Dragon Society? And something to do with the pioneering group?

'What are you doing here?'

'Looking for you.'

'Looking for me for what?'

'To take over the Dongjiaominxiang assassination case and the train robbery.'

'You?'

'Yes. Your boss Li Boqi is here. We need to be at a higher level, don't we? Pang Yu is from the police department, and they obviously can't do such dangerous things.'

'My name is now Wang Dong.'

'I don't care what you're called. Just come with me!'

'They don't care?'

'They're all scared. They won't be able to carry out their duties for a short while. Let's go.'

'Okay...'

Zhang Yong answered listlessly.

As it turned out, what he had to do was really dangerous.

Pang Yu and the others were really not suitable.

They might be able to deal with ordinary Japanese spies. But when they encountered the most ruthless ones, they were in trouble.

He walked out from inside. Outside, he saw the bodies of several people lying in all directions. Among them were Huang Chu and Cen Zhaohai. They had both been killed by the Japanese invaders.

He saw Pang Yu sitting there in a daze. He didn't say a word. He didn't shed a tear. He just sat there in a daze.

I guess he never imagined that the team he had organised would suddenly be decimated by the enemy.

A large majority!

"I've had a look. Twenty-seven people died.'

'Sigh...'

Zhang Yong sighed helplessly.

This is the price!

Fighting the Japanese invaders means paying the price in blood at any time.

I hope they can come out of the shadows soon. After all, two years later, there will be an even greater test waiting for them.

Right now, it's just an attack.

Two years later, it will be an all-out attack.

Chen Gongpeng: There are so many vehicles.

Not only are there cars, but there are also trucks.

There are light machine guns mounted on top of the trucks.

They are truly professionals.

They are the elite of the 29th Army!

All of the members were selected from the elite of the army.

If they had been attacked by the Japanese, there would have been no casualties. More than ten Japanese soldiers were attacked by more than 50 people, and they would have been killed in seconds.

Get in the car.

Sit in the passenger seat of the truck.

It's safe here.

If there's an attack, the car will be the first to get shot at.

It's easy to jump out of a truck.

'Where are we going?'

'To Dongjiaominxiang.'

'Got it.'

Zhang Yong nodded.

Since Chen Gongpeng was in charge, he just went along with the flow.

Departure.

Arrived at the entrance to Dongjiaominxiang.

At the entrance, Zhang Yong suddenly saw a familiar old friend.

'Hey, Zhu Yuan!'

he exclaimed joyfully.

He had actually seen Zhu Yuan at the entrance.

At first glance, he thought he had mistaken him for someone else. But he soon became convinced that he had definitely not made a mistake. It really was Zhu Yuan.

'Captain Zhang!'

Zhu Yuan responded with a smile.

He had obviously known that Zhang Yong was in Beiping. That was why he had deliberately waited here.

'Why are you here?'

'I've been transferred here to provide support.'

'A shooting?'

'Yes! There was a shortage of manpower here, and I was transferred here at the drop of a hat.'

'Good, good, good!'

Zhang Yong expressed his happiness. With acquaintances on hand, communication was convenient, and so was getting things done.

At the same time, he could also get hold of more information.

He didn't know much about the shooting. But he felt that the matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Why would someone target a German?

What was the motive?

There was always a motive. Especially for such a major incident.

After the murderer shot his target, he quickly hid. This indicates that there was a cover-up inside Dongjiaominxiang. There was a hidden plan.

'What information do you have now?'

'None.'

'Tell me.'

'There really isn't any. It was so chaotic at the time. The scene was also destroyed. There is simply no valid evidence to be found. It's all witness statements. They contradict each other. It's not reliable.'

'Then there's no way to investigate.'

Zhang Yong spread his hands.

He wasn't good at investigating cases in the first place.

He didn't have the expertise.

But everyone else thought he was good at it. Whenever there was a major case, they would call on him.

Alas, this was really...

I hope Chen Gongpeng can do it. Otherwise, it will be a wasted trip.

Suddenly, he had a feeling.

Someone was approaching. And they had a weapon.

He turned his head.

He saw a vaguely familiar face.

A sudden flash of inspiration hit him, and he shouted:

'Get him!'

'Get him!'
