Introduction to the work "The Conspirators: Shanghai 1936"
An agent without a gun subverts a city with his mind.
Autumn 1936, Shanghai French Concession. The fiancée of the famous doctor Cheng Wangshu was tortured and killed by Japanese rogues, and the law was silent. He put away his tears, picked up the scalpel, and completed a lynching revenge that was as perfect as a medical accident. "Lao Huo", the person in charge of Special Branch, came to the door: "You will die if you take revenge openly, but you will live if you take revenge secretly. You are a born assassin."
Since then, there has been an invisible ghost in Shanghai. He squinted his eyes and smiled wiltedly, always slow. No one thought that this "good man" was playing a big game: using the Japanese army to eliminate traitors, changing germ warfare labels to make the enemy explode, and lurking in No. 76 For three years, but the secret service killed more than 30 people. His weapons are not guns, but calculations, tolerance and psychological manipulation accurate to milliseconds.
From revenge for love to conspiracy for the country, Cheng Wangshu sublimated "conspiracy" into an art and a belief in the maze of the concession, the crisis of the isolated island, and the fall into purgatory. On May 27, 1949, the red flag was raised on the Bund. He put aside his calculations and returned to the operating table. At dawn, the assassins succeeded and retreated, but the figure who lit up the glimmer of light with wisdom in the darkest era will forever be engraved in the memory of this city.
He is not a hero, he is a survivor. He never charged, but he overturned countless chess games. This is the story of how a "wilting" genius used his brains to win the war.
