Chapter 60: The Sniper Rifle is Good
Yuan Ye heard that the three people in Xiaoye's office had almost finished their discussion. Basically, the security deployment was divided into three circles. The Special High Section Action Team was in the core circle, the Military Police was in the second circle, and the outermost circle was the Security Department's Guard Battalion. Chen Lu's car was arranged to be a bulletproof car. The high ground near the British, American and French consulates would also be controlled by people. Xiaoye arranged for people from No. 76 Li Qunshi to control it.
Yuan Ye thought, it seems that his analysis was correct, and it is basically impossible to assassinate Chen Lu at close range.
As for arranging people to control the commanding heights near the British, American and French consulates, Yuan Ye was not worried at all. First, there were many commanding heights nearby and it was impossible to arrange for all of them. Even if there were, there should not be many people, and there would be no problem in getting rid of them himself.
After a while, Ono Keiji, Chai Ruhai and Yu Dehai came out of the office, and Yuan Ye immediately came to meet them.
Chai Ruhai said:
"Shi Kai, come with us to the Military Police Headquarters."
It was almost noon when Yuan Ye returned to the city government compound from the Japanese gendarmerie headquarters. At the gendarmerie headquarters, Yuan Ye kept his distance just like he did at the Special High Section.
On the way back to the city hall, Chai Ruhai asked Yuan Ye:
"I haven't seen you for more than a year. How come your Japanese has become so good?"
Yuan Ye could only perfunctorily say:
"I'm not as busy as you. I have a lot of free time, which I spend on learning languages. Of course, I've made great progress. Not only in Japanese, but also in other languages."
"Really? But you've been interested in foreign languages since school. You're smart and have a lot of time, so it's natural for you to make progress. Unlike me, I haven't made any progress at all."
Chai Ruhai sighed.
Yuan Ye could only smile. What else could he say? He had to thank the system brother for his support.
At noon, after eating in the city hall cafeteria, Yuan Ye left the city hall compound and walked towards Hengyuan Grocery Store. He paid special attention to see if anyone was following him. Since Xiao Ye's dangerous shadow appeared, he was particularly vigilant, but fortunately he did not find anything unusual.
Yuan Ye thought that Xiao Ye was currently busy with Chen Lu's security and probably had no time to care about him, but after being busy for these few days, who could guarantee that he wouldn't target him?
After assassinating Chen Lu, he must find a way to kill Xiao Ye as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to sleep well at night.
He came to Gu Yan's place, first to get a gun, Chu Yuntian promised to deliver the sniper rifle to the contact station before noon today. Second, Yuan Ye wanted to draw a sketch of Qian Hao's image, because Wang Jianwu didn't know what Qian Hao looked like, and then the play couldn't go on.
He decided to open the special ability column in the system panel, bought the cheapest sketching skill in the painting ability column, and recharged 5 points.
He knew that he couldn't spend all his points at once, as he might need points to get help at a critical moment.
[Ding, the system congratulates the host on obtaining the sketching skill. Host's points: 34 points]
Yuan Ye walked into Hengyuan Grocery Store. There were no other customers in the store except Gu Yan and Xiao Li. Yuan Ye asked:
"Boss, have the goods I ordered arrived?"
"We've been there this morning. Please come upstairs."
Gu Yan nodded to Yuan Ye and went up the stairs. Yuan Ye followed him up to the second floor and came to the inner room.
Gu Yan took out a violin case from under the bed and opened the lid. Yuan Ye discovered that it was a brand new Soviet-made Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle. He was very familiar with it. He often played this kind of gun in a certain elite game. Now he was a little excited to see the real thing. The gun had been disassembled into several parts and embedded in the bottom of the box. There was also a 4x PE-type scope produced by the German Zeiss company, which could observe targets 1400 meters away. There was also a box of 7.62mm rifle bullets inside.
Yuan Ye simply couldn't let it go, thinking to himself, Chu Yuntian was really awesome, he was not bragging, he really got a sniper rifle that was one of the best in that era, with a long range, high accuracy, and was equipped with the most advanced scope at that time.
With such a powerful weapon, Yuan Ye couldn't help but feel more confident. He thought to himself, I will go back and recharge 15 points to increase my shooting ability to the full 100 points.
Aren’t you Chen Lu lucky? You have escaped death twice. Let’s see if you can survive if you fall into my hands this time!
There is no need to add it later, you can just add it now. Yuan Ye suppressed his excitement, quickly opened the system panel, clicked on the attribute bar, and recharged 15 points in the shooting ability value.
[Ding, the system has recharged 15 points for the host. The host's shooting ability value has reached the full value of 100 points. Congratulations to the host for becoming a top shooter. Host points: 19 points. ]
Gu Yan saw Yuan Ye staring at the gun, standing there without saying a word, and the smile on his face seemed a little strange.
Gu Yan didn’t know what Yuan Ye meant. Did he not recognize this gun, or did he look down on it?
So he asked:
"Yuan Ye, you are not dissatisfied with this gun, are you? This Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle is a good gun. I heard that this gun with a German-made scope sells for one thousand US dollars on the black market, which is about ten thousand yuan in French currency, and it may not be available immediately."
"Who said I was dissatisfied? I was just enjoying it."
Yuan Ye smiled.
"You scared me. Why don't you say something? I thought you had something against this gun."
Gu Yan also said with a smile.
"Yuan Ye, have you chosen a sniper? If there is no candidate, I can take over. When I was trained in the Qingpu class, my shooting performance was also very good."
Gu Yan asked again.
"I've decided to go there myself. Just prepare a map of the concession for me. Don't worry about anything else."
Yuan Ye said without question. He thought, no one in the entire Shanghai station has better shooting skills than me, so I am the most suitable candidate.
"You're going in person?"
Gu Yan was a little surprised. Was Yuan Ye so confident in his marksmanship? He had never heard of his good marksmanship before. Was he being too arrogant?
Gu Yan was full of doubts.
"You don't think about it anymore?"
Yuan Ye knew that Gu Yan was a little worried, but he had no way to explain it to him. He couldn't just say that the system gave him the skills of a sharpshooter. No one would believe that.
He could only say:
"I've made up my mind. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have to get down to business.
Go get a piece of paper and a pen. I need to draw a portrait of a person. Once you are done, give it to Deputy Station Chief Chu. Deputy Station Chief Chu knows what I mean."
After hearing what Yuan Ye said, Gu Yan didn't know what to say. Although they had a good relationship, Yuan Ye was still his superior after all.
Gu Yan hurried downstairs and soon put the paper and pen in front of Yuan Ye. Yuan Ye had met Qian Hao several times in the city government compound and already had an impression of him in his mind. Based on these impressions, Yuan Ye quickly sketched on the paper with a pen.
Gu Yan looked at Yuan Ye who was painting attentively. He didn't dare to say anything and just watched quietly from the side.
