C198 (2/2)
Zhen Lizi was truly cunning, he seemed to have seen through Yijie's thoughts of taking the chance to leave. On one hand, she was worried that Yijie would take the opportunity to leave, on the other hand, she was worried that the many people Shorty had brought would be dangerous to her. She was so scared that not only did she not dare to go out, but she also grabbed onto one of Ji Jie's arms. After listening for a long time, she realized that the bandits were not very powerful. The people who came were surrounded by the people from the yard, and were currently fighting a bloody battle.
Relieved, she pulled him to the window and looked out. Seeing that there was no danger outside, she opened the window, gripped her pistol, and jumped out of the window. One of them also jumped out. The two of them went forward and examined the corpse carefully. Zhen Lizi could not help but cry out, ”Ah! So it was him. ”To truly resolve the hatred in my heart!”
One Jie was also shocked to find out who the deceased was. The one who died was Shorty Chalie. Zhen Lizi was overjoyed, he kicked the corpse and cursed: ”This Western Dog, stupid! He's finally not out of my grasp. ” Looking at the corpses of the two Japanese people beside Shorty, they were both killed by him.
It turned out that these two special agents were guarding outside the window together. The two of them only peeked at Zhen Lizi and one of them flirt inside the house, while the Shorty sneaked behind them and killed them with a slash. The Shorty came to kill the remaining one, this was already very surprising. Shorty covered his mouth first, afraid that he would scream. While the little spy was struggling desperately with the Shorty, he was stabbed to death again by the Shorty's blade. Zhen Lizi and Yi Jie saw the latter scene from the house.
Shorty brought his men into the courtyard. Due to the huge courtyard and the many houses, his men were scattered for a moment. When Shorty did things, he took the lead. He wanted to personally capture Zhen Lizi and make up for his mistakes in the day. He saw that there was light in the room and two people standing guard by the window, he thought: ”I'm sure there are eight or nine of them, Zhen Lizi will be living there.” He looked behind him and saw no attendants. Relying on his martial arts skills, he drew his dagger and groped towards the two by the window.
After killing the people, the Shorty looked inside the house and saw Zhen Lizi and Yi Jie inside. He said in his heart: ”Zhen Lizi, this time you will definitely not be able to escape from my grasp.” Just as he was proudly turning around, unexpectedly, Zhen Lizi moved quickly and shot towards him from the house. The shot was really accurate, the bullet had pierced through Shorty's heart. Shorty was still feeling pleased with himself when he was hit so hard that he did not make a sound, his body swaying twice as he fell to the ground and died.
After Zhen Lizi and Yi Jie finished looking at Shorty's corpse, they looked elsewhere. Seeing that people were fighting from the north, south, east, and west, the sound of fighting from the courtyard had become chaotic. Zhen Lizi could not differentiate between the enemies and his own people, hence he did not dare to shoot recklessly. With one of them by her side, she had no fear of such a scene. She took another pull and looked around.
There were less people in the Shorty, and almost twice as many Japanese. The English, though tall, were passive. For a moment, they were surrounded and attacked by the Japanese coming from behind. These Japanese were all young and strong Black Dragon Society members that were covered with martial arts techniques. The more they fought, the braver they became. The British could not resist. Some of the Englishmen shouted to the French patrolmen outside the walls as they fought: ”Come on! Someone come quickly! ”How powerful are they here?”
The French patrolman, who had heard the shouting outside, knew that the British in the courtyard were on edge. Interesting. Inspector used the excuse of maintaining law and order as an excuse and knocked on the door as he shouted, ”Open up, open up!” What are you doing in there? How dare they gather troops and disrupt the law and order! This is the French Concession, it's definitely not allowed! ” No matter how much he yelled outside, no one came to open the door for them.
The people of Shorty could only retreat as they fought their way to the door. Only then did a Japanese man run forward to open the door. The man then turned to Inspector and said: ”Mr. Inspector, I wonder who it is that jumped over the wall into our courtyard and is committing murder right now. We were forced to defend ourselves against them. I request that Mr. Inspector uphold justice and punish these murderers. ”
The Inspector pointed at the people fighting and asked, ”Who are those people? ”Why do I think it's a gang of Chinese gangsters!”
The person who opened the door said, ”Sir, that is because the people from our courtyard are fighting with the murderer to defend themselves.” Inspector's face sank, his eyes stared, and he said: ”Nonsense! It is obvious that you do not follow your duty to collude with the forces of the underworld. Stop, and follow us to the Patrol House to talk! ”
This was his secret saying. When the English heard this, they all jumped over the wall and fled in accordance with their predetermined plan. Just then, another Japanese man ran over to Inspector and explained, ”Mr. Inspector, the people who came here to carry the weapons and commit murder are a bunch of British people, not local gangsters.”
The Inspector glared at him, raised his gun, and shot the man: ”This man is speaking nonsense! How dare you lie to me in front of me? Do not slander the English! I can clearly see that you are all gangsters! ” After which, he hastily waved his hand. The patrolmen fired a volley of bullets, knocking down another group of Japanese. The Japanese were immediately enraged.
Someone took the lead and shouted, ”The French and the English are colluding with each other to harm us. Don't argue with them. Fight with them!” The Japanese swarmed forward and began another fierce battle with the patrolmen.
