[-], January, Shanghai.The wetness and coldness of the deep winter made the early morning in this city even more elusive. A passenger ship full of people docked and entered the port. There were Chinese people on board, but more foreigners.A boy carrying bags on the pier came up and asked with a smile if the disembarking people needed help, and some of them even spoke a few words in simple English.

Fengxiu and Wuyi Shi Yin slowly got off the boat after the excitement dissipated, "Sir, do you need...?" A little boy came over and saluted, "No, thank you." As soon as he landed, he interrupted Xiaotong's words.The kid probably didn't attract any business all morning, and he felt a little lonely after his last hope failed, but he wanted to leave soon.

"Help us hire two cars and take us to No. 534 Lafayette Road." Fengxiu smiled and took out ten yuan and handed it to the little boy. She turned her head to see Yin Zheng, the unclothed master, looking at herself, and shrugged innocently. , "What am I doing? I don't want to walk with you to take the tram."

Wuyi Shi Yin snorted and said nothing, Xiao Tong came to pick up the luggage, but was rejected by him again.The poor child had to carry Fengxiu's suitcase and walked outside quickly to find a rickshaw. After negotiating the price, each car only cost two yuan and fifty cents, and Fengxiu signaled him to keep the remaining five yuan. , "Thank you, sir!" The child nodded excitedly, he took the money and watched Fengxiu and Wuyi Shi Yin get into the car one after the other.

"What's your name? From Shanghai?" Fengxiu glanced at the young boy, who was about ten years old?

"My name is Bai Chenzi. I escaped from the Northeast and work at the pier." The boy grinned, "Go sir!" He took a step back and let the coachman pull up Fengxiu and Wuyi Shi Yin The two of them walked all the way, the sun gradually broke through the morning mist, the young man wrapped himself tightly in the short cotton robe, and soon, there would be a cargo ship on the pier, and he had to go there to help with work.For him, the two rich men in suits and leather shoes who walked into his life through the morning mist were just the shortest passers-by.The five yuan in cash will be exchanged for a meal of meat, which is very rare in his life, and his brother's medicine after he finishes today's part-time job.

At No. 534 Lafayette Road, Fengxiu and Wuyishi Yin finally finished their not-so-short drive. They both stood in the yard outside and in front of the gate of the three-story western-style building inside. There was even a fountain in the yard. But there is no water.

Fengxiu took off his top hat, looked up at the mansion in front of him, and shook his head, "Are you sure... This is the base that the teacher left us two to carry out the mission? Do we really want to be so... high-profile?"

"The address is correct. Also, we are now the teacher's nephew, so we have to call you uncle." Wuyi Shi Yin shrugged, stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

"I never took advantage of being with you. You said that we have been classmates for so many years. That year, we went to the Whampoa Military Academy and caught up with the Qing Party. Before the exam, we were notified that we were not qualified. Later, we joined the army. It happened that your precious sister disappeared from the world again, and she failed to vote. She finally went to Japan to study abroad and came back to do something well. As soon as she came back, she was dragged to Hangzhou to participate in hell training for three or four months. There was no reason Uncle, come out, tell me, are you bothering me these years." Fengxiu said disdainfully after putting on her hat.

"I think it's your fate. Your brother has been involved in the Huangpu incident from the very beginning. If you hadn't dragged me down, these years wouldn't have been a waste of time." Wuyi Shi Yin retorted without showing any weakness.

A person ran out of the garden, watching the two people quickly open the gate, "The two young masters are..."

"Wedge." Feng Xiu put on her hat and nodded to the visitor.

"Shoufu." Wuyi Shi Yin lowered his voice.

"...Your code name is really... Tsk tsk." Fengxiu couldn't help but glanced back, and then nodded seriously to the people who came out of the yard, "From now on, everything left by World Lord Er will be Let us take over."

"Please, please, please." The middle-aged man in a long gown looked at the two young people in front of him, and quickly stretched out his hand to let them enter the courtyard. The courtyard door was closed, and the huge courtyard returned to its usual silence. .This was the house of Jiezhu Er, a prominent businessman in Shanghai in the past, but Jiezhu Er had been away from Shanghai for some years.

On that deep winter morning, two young men stepped into this house. It is said that the two nephews of Lord Er came to help their uncle handle property and business.For the lively and bustling Shanghai Bund, it is nothing more than two rich families.

……

As night fell, 534 Lafayette Road fell into darkness. Fengxiu took out a pistol from the box and looked out from the dark room. "I still think this place is too eye-catching." He changed into a black wool Chester coat, with a pistol on the back waist, "I said the team leader, the two of us really don't take a day off to find our lovely classmates? After all, we have traveled a long distance..."

"Before leaving, the head teacher personally explained that Jun Yin betrayed, so we must get rid of it as soon as possible." Wuyi Shi Yin snorted and opened the door, "Go out, I will change clothes."

"I'm not interested in men changing clothes." Fengxiu shrugged, "I just want to sleep. After all, you are a workaholic. If I don't protect myself, I will be exhausted by you sooner or later."

"Get out." Wuyi Shi Yin gave him a cold look.

Fengxiu had no choice but to turn around and go out. When she kicked in and out of the door, she suddenly turned her head, "Old Zhang, the concierge, where did you bury him? I haven't seen him since dinner."

"Give him some money and let him go back to his hometown in northern Jiangsu." Wuyi Master Yin pushed Fengxiu out of the door and closed the door with a bang.

At the end of the twelfth lunar month, there is no moonlight in the sky.At the back door of a pharmacy on Fuxu Road, Fengxiu took out a pocket watch from his pocket, and the pointer pointed to twelve o'clock. He let out a breath of air, "I'm talking about the team leader, can this kind of assassination be carried out during the day?"

"Reason?" Wuyi Shi Yin reached out and knocked on the door.

"I can rent a rickshaw, so I don't have to go so far." The door opened, and Fengxiu took out a pistol from his arms and put it directly on the head of the person who opened the door, and entered the room.

The sound of gunfire was muffled under the quilt. Fengxiu put away the pistol and looked up to see Yin, the unclothed master, cleanly took out the woman who was going to make a sound with a dagger. The eyes of the two fell on the face of a boy beside him at the same time. Maybe, Four or five years old, she is crying with tears all over her face.

"Let's go." Feng Xiu frowned, the crying of the child was disturbing.

Wuyi Shi Yin didn't move, the dagger in his hand was still dripping with blood.

"It's just a child." Fengxiu frowned and stretched out his hand to block the child, "The traitor is dead, and the woman who knew about it is also dead. This child...don't kill him."

"Okay." Wuyi Shi Yin nodded expressionlessly, "Get out, you go first."

Fengxiu nodded, turned around and went downstairs, Wuyi Shi Yin turned around, but after Fengxiu took a few steps, he suddenly took a few steps back, covered the child's mouth, and the dagger brought out a dark red, The crying stopped abruptly, and Fengxiu, who had walked a few steps, turned around and saw Wuyi Shi Yin closing the child's eyes with a blank expression, "At his age, he will remember you and me." There was no ups and downs in the voice Inside, there is a more terrifying coldness than in the dark winter night.

Fengxiu's hand holding the gun slightly tightened, and his eyes darkened.

"Sorry, I'm not your opponent in fighting, I can only lie to you." Wuyi Shi Yin put down the child's body, and walked past Fengxiu without a sound, "I will have a long time in Shanghai, and the situation is uncertain. I can't risk staying..." He suddenly stopped because a cold pistol was firmly pressed against the back of his head.

"I understand the truth, but next time you do this again, I don't guarantee that I won't shoot you down." Fengxiu's voice was cold, but her anger was suppressed.

"I'm the team leader, and this is my style of doing things." Wuyi Shi Yin turned around without fear, letting Fengxiu put the gun to his forehead, "If you don't accept it, you can do it alone, and I'll give it to you." Find a partner by yourself."

"Oh?" Fengxiu raised her eyebrows, "Are you sure you can do the task alone?"

Wuyi Shi Yin shrugged, "Why don't we go find our own partners? Let's see who can't complete the task then?"

"I agree." Fengxiu nodded and put down the gun, "I'll go back and pack my things, and I'll leave that suffocating house tomorrow morning."

"Maybe." Unclothed Master Yin walked down the stairs and opened the door, "Maybe a haunted house is more suitable for someone like you."

The two left under the moonlight, and the three corpses in the pharmacy would not be discovered until when they were placed, but what does this have to do with them?

At daybreak, Wuyi Shi Yin got up and disappeared Fengxiu. He was the only one in the big bungalow. In addition, he found that Fengxiu had taken away all the cash and... most of the passbooks from the two of them. Wuyi Shi Yin After rummaging through all the pockets, I finally found a piece of ocean in a coat, and went out to exchange for a few deep-fried dough sticks and a bowl of steaming wontons for breakfast.

A few streets away, Fengxiu is also enjoying his breakfast. The aroma of the coffee is intoxicating. He wipes a piece of bread with the dining knife and quietly looks at the people passing by on the street from the window of the western restaurant. Pushing open the door of the western restaurant and walking in, Fengxiu stood up and said with a smile, "Don't walk alone, here."

"It's really you!" The young man known as the young man rolled his eyes at this old friend, walked up to Fengxiu and sat down directly, "I really can't imagine that you are still alive. I have seen what is called a scourge. millennium."

"Yeah, I haven't seen my classmate for many years, you hurt my heart too much by talking like that." Fengxiu handed over the slice of bread she had painted, "I want to stay in Shanghai in the future, do something for me."

"Kill and set fire." Shao Duxing took a bite of the bread and put it down in disgust, "I don't like peanut butter."

"Of course not." Fengxiu smiled.

"I don't want to rob the house." Shao Duxing said again.

"Am I that kind of person?" Feng Xiu shrugged.

"... Tsk... let alone organize a revolution." Shao Duxing frowned, "I am a serious businessman."

"Who isn't?" Fengxiu said helplessly, "I just want to open a pharmacy in the concession, that's all."
