Chapter 5 Revisiting the Old Place
Before the weekend, it had rained three times in a week in Shanghai, and Tang Cheng, who had gotten up early, was sitting on the bed at the moment, looking at the rain outside the window with confused eyes. If Tang Cheng is an otaku, then he should know that a rainy day is the best day to sleep. Tang Cheng's eyes gradually brightened, but he knew that he couldn't sleep lazy, because today was the day the action began. Tangcheng, who entered Hongkou District three days in advance, had already reconnoitred the route of the operation, as well as the situation of the Japanese police and gendarmerie patrols in Hongkou District.
Tang Cheng twice caused trouble in Hongkou District, leaving an unforgettable memory for the Japanese police and gendarmerie forces in Hongkou District. It's just a few months later, and the Japanese police and gendarmes, who were originally straining a string all day long, have already relaxed, at least that's what Tang Cheng detected. Tang Cheng, who got up after getting dressed, did not go downstairs to eat, but stayed in the room for the last time to inspect the weapons and equipment to be used in the operation, which was the basic guarantee for the smooth implementation of the operation.
The Tangcheng lion opened his mouth widely, and before entering the Hongkou District, he asked Hans for a large number of bullets, as well as some things that were rare in the black market. In order to reduce the weight of the carry-on bag, Tang Cheng put the Mauser rifle and some miscellaneous items in Hans's restaurant first, and carried only the newly acquired MP40 and two ** pistols with him. At this moment, the three guns, long and short, were placed on Tang Cheng's bed, and there was also a pile of spare magazines that had been loaded with bullets.
There were five magazines, all of which were fully loaded, and six pistol magazines, all of which were also full of bullets, and the remaining scattered bullets were packed in two cloth bags, more than a hundred rounds. Tang Cheng, who had a calm face, did not slack off in the slightest, but just carefully checked the firearms and equipment that he needed to use in his actions. In order to be able to use the space of the carry-on equipment bag to fit more **hands**, Tang Cheng also put a special vest on his body, and the vest has a sewn soft cloth bullet pouch, which can be used to place those spare magazines that are full of bullets.
For today's action, Tang Cheng had made all the preparations, and seeing that the rain outside was getting lighter, Tang Cheng was wearing a fat raincoat, and finally left the hotel. The raincoat was fat, just enough to cover the vest stuffed with magazines on Tang Cheng's body, and the hood of the raincoat also brought a certain amount of secrecy to Tang Cheng. Following the route that had been scouted a long time ago, Tang Cheng, who was wearing a raincoat, soon appeared outside the residence of Hayada Junjiro's illegitimate son, but after a slight pause outside the gate, Tang Cheng stepped forward and reached out to ring the doorbell.
According to the information provided by Hans, an old woman who took care of the children lived in this courtyard all the year round, and according to this time, there should have been two other domestic servants in charge of chores in the courtyard. After Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and rang the doorbell, he stood quietly at the door and waited, and after more than a dozen breaths, a square doorway appeared above the door lock, and an old face appeared in the doorway. "This is the Hayata family, who are you looking for?" The face behind the gate should be one of the helpers, looking like an old man over half a hundred years old.
"I'm a subordinate of Hayata Nakasa, and today is the child's first birthday, so Nakasa sent me to deliver a gift." Tang Cheng, who was standing in front of the courtyard gate, looked the slightest bit unusual, and while answering the other party, Tang Cheng also raised his right hand so that the other party could see the box in his hand. Tang Cheng came to the door, under the banner of Hayada Junjiro's brother, and the old man behind the door panel instantly changed his expression, and immediately opened the courtyard door with joy.
"Please come in! The last time Hayada Nakasa was here was half a month ago, but I didn't expect him to remember that today was Miss Yukiko's birthday! The courtyard door was opened, and it was an old man who walked out of the door. The old man, who didn't doubt Tang Cheng's identity, turned sideways to greet Tang Cheng into the door, and at the same time didn't forget to talk about the situation when Hayada Junjiro's brother came here. Tang Cheng remained silent, just silently followed the old man inside, and at the same time looked around at the situation in the courtyard.
Like most Japanese residences, Tang Cheng's courtyard is not large, but it is also fully Japanese-style, and a few bamboos that are rare in Shanghai are planted in the corners of the courtyard. "Nakasa has a mission and can't go out, it just so happens that I'm on vacation today, Nakasa arranged for me to send a gift over, and there is another thing, I need to explain Mr. Hayada in person!" Entering the main house, Tang Cheng didn't see another domestic servant and the old woman, so he had to use the planned excuse to stay here and wait for Hayada Junjiro to appear.
The old man was just a servant, of course he couldn't call the shots, and after bringing tea to Tang Cheng, the old man went to the back to ask the old woman. After a while, the old man came back from behind, and when Hayada Junjiro was not here, the old Japanese woman who took care of the children was in charge of the affairs in the yard. "I've already called my husband and said I'll be back in a while!" The old man who returned to the main house sat with Tang Cheng, and chatted with Tang Cheng without saying a word to kill time.
Tang Cheng was pretending to be a colleague of Hayata's brother at the Military Police Headquarters at the moment, and before borrowing this identity, Tang Cheng had repeatedly made deductions, so he was not worried that Hayada Junjiro would call his brother to verify. Hayata's older brother was sent to the New Asia Hotel to train Ma Yong and their traitors, which should have been a secret mission. Since it was a secret mission, Tang Cheng deduced that the New Asia Hotel should not allow the people inside to contact the outside world at any time, otherwise the secret might be leaked.
Now it seems that Tang Cheng is betting right, at least the old man who sat with him did not reveal his defense against Tang Cheng. Half an hour passed quickly, and the doorbell rang again, and the old man got up and stood up. "It should be Mr. Hayata's return, only he will ring the doorbell like this." As he spoke, the old man who got up and stood up raised his feet and went out of the main house to open the courtyard door. Tang Cheng didn't get up, he was now pretending to be an officer of the gendarmerie headquarters, and if he couldn't maintain the reserve and majesty of an officer, it would be exposed.
If it weren't for the call from the old woman, Hayada Junjiro shouldn't have come back so early today, and when he learned that his brother who had a secret mission sent someone to send a special birthday gift for the child, Hayada Junjiro hurried back to his residence. "You are..."Junjiro Hayata, who put down his umbrella, entered the main house, but suddenly found that Tang Cheng, who had just taken off the hood of his raincoat, looked at Miansheng, and couldn't remember if he had seen this person. Tang Cheng's purpose in coming here was to solve Hayada Junjiro, the reason why he stayed in the main house just now and didn't move, was just worried that Hayada Junjiro would appear with bodyguards.
At this moment, seeing that Hayada Junjiro was just coming back alone, he had been sitting in the main room for more than half an hour, so he didn't plan to continue wasting time here. "Poof!" With a soft sound, Tang Chao's suddenly raised right hand flashed with a gunshot, and Hayada Junjiro, who had just crossed the threshold, fell soft at the door of the main house abruptly. The old man's helper, who was following Hayada Junjiro, didn't have time to react, Tang Cheng turned the muzzle of the gun in his hand, fired another shot, and killed the old man's helper at the door.
Like a Tang Cheng leopard who had fired a succession of shots, he scurried from his seat to the door, and reached out to drag the two corpses into the main house. After Tang Cheng posed the two corpses as if they had been tortured, the little blood stains at the door of the main house had already been washed away by the rain. Hayada Junjiro, who lives in a house in Hongkou District, is not next to the New Asia Hotel, but Hayada Junjiro's brother, who is an intelligence officer, is the link between these two things, which is why Tang Cheng found Hayada Junjiro first.
After setting up the scene, Tang Cheng did not continue to shoot the remaining domestic servant and the old woman who took care of the child, but needed time to rush to Tang Cheng of the New Asia Hotel, but only knocked them unconscious after the children fell asleep. Hayada Junjiro was driving back, just to provide Tang Cheng with convenience, with Hayada Junjiro's business card and a box of seafood sushi made by the helper, Tang Cheng drove to the New Asia Hotel. The old woman and the domestic servant who were knocked unconscious by Tang Cheng would not wake up for at least half an hour, and Tang Cheng only needed a quarter of an hour to drive to the New Asia Hotel.
"I am an employee of Hayata Co., Ltd., and the president's brother Hayada Nakasa is on a business trip at the top floor, and I delivered sushi to Hayada Nakasa according to the president's instructions." Tang Cheng, who entered the New Asia Hotel, was still wearing a raincoat, but he did not enter the elevator directly, but first found the lobby manager standing behind the service desk. "Please contact the top floor, I want Hayada Nakasa to send someone down to get sushi." Karashiro, who is fluent in Kyoto-accented Japanese, did not arouse the suspicion of the lobby manager.
The phone was connected, and the lobby manager quickly handed the phone to Tang Cheng, "Yes, it was the president who sent me, and when I left, the president was receiving guests." The president also had a note asking me to hand it over to Nakasa, saying that it was something very important. Tang Cheng's voice also confused Hayada Junichiro on the other end of the phone, and after a slight pause, Hayada Junichiro on the other end of the phone asked Tang Cheng to send the sushi directly to the top.
Things seemed to be going smoothly at this point, but Tang Cheng did not let his guard down, at least so far, he had not entered the top floor of the New Asia Hotel. As the elevator slowly rose to the top floor of the hotel, Tang Cheng in the elevator slowly unbuttoned his raincoat, and the anger in his eyes became more and more intense.
For this secret mission, the top floor of the New Asia Hotel has already been completely blocked, and the stairs connecting the downstairs are blocked by debris, and you can only rely on the elevator to go up and down the stairs, and there are also people outside the elevator who are guarded 24 hours a day. "I'm here to deliver something to Hayatanakasa!" The elevator door was pulled open by the people outside, and Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to let the people outside see the food box, and at the same time identified himself.
