Chapter 241: Snipe Shin'kawa Naoya

"You're so annoying." Fujiwara Yuko said coquettishly: "When I come back, you'll know."

In front of her parents, Fujiwara Yuko could not possibly send herself away.

Such a thing, of course, requires the lights to be off.

Chen Yongren had been busy with work, and Fujiwara Yuko's plan to make herself a gift was also repeatedly postponed.

Not long after, Fujiwara Yuko, who had returned indoors, held an exquisite small gift box and returned to Chen Yongren's side.

Open the box.

Inside was the latest model Omega watch.

"I saw your previous watch was also this brand; to celebrate your promotion, I bought you a new one." Fujiwara Yuko said, blushing.

"Do you like it, Chen Sang?"

"I like it very much, Yuko; thank you for helping me change it." Chen Yongren said.

"Mm!" Fujiwara Yuko happily took off the old watch, replaced it for Chen Yongren, and then said: "Chen Sang, this is the watch I'm giving you."

After being affectionate for a while, Chen Yongren then said goodbye and went home.

Knowing that Shin'kawa Naoya would be resting at Saito Apartment, Chen Yongren, not long after returning home, went out again and headed to the vicinity of Saito Apartment.

He opened the holographic map, carefully examining the apartment's structure and the surrounding terrain.

On the surface it looks like a civilian apartment, but in fact it is not open to the outside; it is mainly used to receive Japanese officials from elsewhere who come to Songhu.

The apartment has five floors in total.

Because a high-ranking official was about to arrive.

When Chen Yongren wandered to the vicinity, the apartment was already under lockdown; the sole entrance had two guards standing on either side.

Apparently still bitter about the poisoning at Li Cha Restaurant, Chen Yongren noticed that even the four corners of the Saito Apartment rooftop had people on guard, glaring watchfully at the streets around the apartment.

Using poison as a tactic is basically not feasible.

Trying to sneak inside to carry out an assassination would only trap himself in a siege.

For now, the only viable option is long-range sniping.

Chen Yongren's warehouse is stocked with equipment; there's no need to worry about firearms.

Just wait until tomorrow, find that old devil's residence, then choose a position to snipe him.

Because he still had to go to work at No. 76.

For the reconnaissance mission, Chen Yongren had Hua Lei pass it on to his subordinates to carry out.

Three days later.

Hua Lei successfully retrieved the intelligence.

Shin'kawa Naoya had already arrived safely at Saito Apartment and was staying in Room 302 on the third floor.

But the best gathering points around had all been occupied by personnel of the Japanese Special Higher Police; if one had to choose, only a more distant sniping position could be selected.

If that were the case, the sniping mission could not guarantee a hundred percent success.

Once the sniping fails, it will be hard to find another opportunity.

Chen Yongren recalled the terrain, and indeed it was so.

To snipe Room 302, the only choice was a bell tower five hundred meters away.

Besides that.

The team members also discovered that Shin'kawa Naoya each morning first drinks coffee and reads the newspaper.

He only leaves after nine o'clock to go to the Special Higher Police.

During his outing, four guards protect him on all sides.

The only opening is when he gets into the car, to launch a sudden attack.

After calculation, this is also the plan with the highest success rate.

Why go to all that trouble?

With the rifle's never-miss skill in hand, at five hundred meters I can easily kill this little Japanese.

The next day.

Chen Yongren disguised himself, went to the bell tower five hundred meters from Saito Apartment, climbed to the top, and took out a standard rifle equipped with a PEM scope.

He then aimed the rifle at Saito Apartment, looked around, and Chen Yongren soon saw a man in a neat suit sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

Because of the scope, although the person was five hundred meters away, Chen Yongren could still see his details clearly.

After comparison.

It was indeed that old devil, Shin'kawa Naoya.

The status column also showed that a few days earlier he had gone to Songhu to direct the Special Higher Police in their mission to capture the weasel.

You damn well think you can catch me, little master?

First, I'll kill you, you damn bastard.

Chen Yongren held the rifle, very confident in his marksmanship.

With a "bang" went the gunshot.

A bullet instantly shot out of the barrel, racing toward Shin'kawa Naoya five hundred meters away.

"Poof!"

Through the scope, Chen Yongren could clearly see the bullet directly entering the right temple.

As Shin'kawa Naoya was reading the newspaper, his body jerked and he collapsed dead on the spot.

The few guards inside, stunned, flailed about shouting; Room 302 fell into chaos, the door was kicked open, and more and more people poured in.

The system prompt tone sounded at the same time.

The system confirmed, the person is definitely dead beyond doubt.

Chen Yongren ignored the dog system, after cleaning up traces of his existence, he sent a telegram to Boss Dai, informing him that the mission had been completed successfully.

He then quickly left the area and went to No. 76 to work.

……

After learning of Shinagawa Naoya's assassination, Tengyuan Jintai rushed to Saito Apartment.

Upon entering, he saw Shinagawa Naoya leaning back on the sofa with his head held high, still wearing the confident expression he had in life.

Damn it!

Tengyuan Jintai had only these three words in his mind.

"Baka!" Tengyuan Jintai grabbed a loser at random and snapped, "How did you handle security work?"

"Major His Excellency, we have fully controlled the nearby sniper positions." The loser helplessly said, "The enemy bullets must have come from farther away."

"Farther away?" Tengyuan Jintai quickly walked to the window.

"Major His Excellency, be careful." One lackey tried to show loyalty, but Tengyuan Jintai impatiently shoved him aside: "Idiot, the enemy's mission is done; they've surely withdrawn already!"

Tengyuan Jintai looked around, pointing at the bell tower five hundred meters away: "Send someone to that bell tower immediately!"

That team of agents immediately obeyed, but found nothing.

Returning to the office, Tengyuan Jintai's face grew ever darker.

The bullet that killed Shinagawa Naoya was also extracted.

Ordinary formal rifles are cheap; if you're willing to spend money, the black market has plenty.

Not being at the best sniper spot yet hitting the target with one shot makes it unclear whether to credit the sniper's luck or skill.

What baffled Tengyuan Jintai most was that Shinagawa Naoya's trip to Songhu was also top secret—how could it have been leaked?

What exactly was the problem?

Tengyuan Jintai earnestly recalled.

It was Chen Yongren who first received a call from General Tsuchihara.

But at that time, General Tsuchihara didn't mention anything about Shinagawa Naoya.

While chatting with the general, Chen Yongren stayed in the kitchen until about ten minutes after the call ended before coming out.

How could it be him?

Just to be safe, Tengyuan Jintai still conducted a screening.

From Saito Apartment to No. 76, even if driving with smooth traffic, it would take over an hour, let alone now when the roads are at their most congested.

It has been just over forty minutes since the incident.

If Chen Yongren did it, he must still be on the road!

Tengyuan Jintai immediately called the guard at No. 76.

Upon learning that Chen Yongren had already arrived on foot at No. 76 to work thirty minutes earlier, Tengyuan Jintai immediately dispelled his suspicions about Chen Yongren.

With Chen Yongren's suspicion ruled out, who else could it be?

Tengyuan Jintai stroked his chin, deep in thought.

A weasel couldn't possibly be one of our own, could it?
