Chapter Forty-Eight: There Is Still a Chance
When Huang Zengcheng stood in front of the window and secretly sighed, there was another person in the French Concession who also sighed, and this person was Hans who provided relevant information to Tang Cheng. When Tang Cheng asked Hans to help find clues to Yokomoto Ichiro, Hans had already guessed Tang Cheng's purpose, but he didn't expect that only one day later, Tang Cheng had not only infiltrated Hongkou District, but also carried out an assassination operation on Yokomoto Ichiro that night. But it's a pity, according to the information that Hans has obtained so far, Tang Cheng actually missed last night.
Hans has known Tang Cheng for a long time, Tang Cheng came to Shanghai three times before and after, and Hans almost mastered all the actions during this period. Hans can only sum up Tang Cheng's ability to act in two words, that is, admiration and jealousy. Hans had never doubted Tang Cheng's ability to act, even if jealousy inevitably arose in his heart, it was a pity why there was no such good operator as Tang Cheng in the Empire's intelligence department. So when Hans learned that Tang Cheng would actually miss last night, Hans didn't believe it at first.
It's just that as time goes by, there are more and more news related to Hongkou District last night in the concession, and it is precisely because of these specious news that Hans finally has a general understanding of what happened in Hongkou District last night. After really understanding the inside story, Hans couldn't help but secretly think that Tang Cheng was not worth it in his heart, and he felt that in Hongkou District last night, if it wasn't for someone from the Korean National Salvation Army who inexplicably made a mistake, maybe Tang Cheng would not have been implicated because of this, and Yokomoto Ichiro might have become a corpse a long time ago.
Hans would have felt that Tang Cheng had been implicated by the Korean National Salvation Army last night, because he had already received news from the insider, who had been serving in the gendarmerie headquarters, and had unbelievable news for Hans. The results of the investigation of the scene by the gendarmes and the special high school showed that the assassins had not only touched the door of Yokomoto Ichiro's residence, but also shot and killed one of Yokomoto Ichiro's personal guards and a number of plainclothes field workers of the Shanghai special high school.
If it weren't for the sudden explosion at the scene of the incident, which led to a fire, the Assassin might have succeeded. Based on the information passed on by this insider, Hans judged that Tang Cheng's assassination last night was a success, at least in the first half of the operation. Later, if it weren't for the people of the Korean National Salvation Army, who inexplicably caused an explosion and a fire, Tang Cheng, who had quietly infiltrated, might not have evacuated in a panic. Therefore, this Yokomoto Ichiro, who escaped by luck, should not be grateful to the gods, but to the Korean National Salvation Army.
The assassination attempt in Tangcheng failed, and the Gendarmerie Command has mobilized a large number of gendarmes and police to cordon off the entire Hongkou District, and has cooperated with the Special High School to carry out a comprehensive search of the Hongkou District. Hans believed that as long as Tang Cheng returned to the concession, he would definitely take the initiative to get in touch with him, but Tang Cheng had not contacted him so far, which means that Tang Cheng was probably still in Hongkou District. Putting all of this together, Hans was secretly worried about Tang Cheng, because he could see that the assassination last night had really annoyed the Japanese.
When Hans was secretly worried about Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng, who had been hiding in the tunnel, was sleeping comfortably at this time. The search operation of the Japanese military police and plainclothes agents of the special high school after dawn only made Tang Cheng worry a little for a while in the first two hours. Around the courtyard where the tunnel was located, after the noise gradually disappeared, Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the tunnel, also put his mind at ease, and he couldn't leave the tunnel for the time being, as if he had nothing else to do except sleep.
Tang Cheng slept until noon from dawn, and after a whole morning of searching, the Japanese army did not find the results they wanted. The high-ranking members of the gendarmerie command who learned of this result were immediately furious, and the assassination of Ichiro Yokomoto last night was not a trivial matter, and if the gendarmerie command could not give a reasonable explanation, Ichiro Yokomoto, as a major general of the Kwantung Army, would definitely not give up. Tang Cheng, who had just come out of the tunnel at this time, did not know that the military police headquarters was planning to conduct a second round of searches, eating a few biscuits in his carry-on equipment bag, and Tang Cheng, who was leaning against the wall, began to think about countermeasures.
He was ordered to assassinate Ichiro Yokomoto, who, according to information provided by Hans, had only two days left to stay in Shanghai. Tang Cheng didn't know if his actions last night would make Yokomoto Ichiro leave Shanghai early, and at the moment he was just thinking about whether he would have a chance to assassinate Yokomoto Ichiro in the last remaining time. After thinking about it for a while, Tang Cheng never found a suitable way, and faintly heard the shouting sound outside the wall, and Tang Cheng, who was going to bask in the sun, could only burrow into the tunnel again.
Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the tunnel again, was idle and had nothing to do, and suddenly remembered the men in suits and gendarmes he had killed last night, Tang Cheng opened his system light curtain, and sure enough, under the system light curtain, the number of lottery draws that had been reduced to zero had changed. The men in suits killed last night, Tang Cheng faintly felt that it should be the plainclothes sent by the Shanghai Special High School to protect Yokomoto Ichiro, and now seeing the number of lottery draws that appeared under the light curtain of the system, Tang Cheng knew that his guess was correct.
Tang Cheng killed more than a dozen people last night, half of them were Japanese military police, who were shot and killed when Tang Cheng retreated, and at this moment, seeing the number of lottery draws that appeared under the light curtain of the system, Tang Cheng was quite satisfied with the number of enemies he killed last night. There are a total of more than a dozen lottery draws, Tang Cheng still didn't choose to draw continuously this time, anyway, he didn't know how long he was going to hide in the tunnel, so it was better to use this system lottery to kill time.
"Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, you must bless me for drawing new system skills! No matter how bad it is, bless me for being able to draw out the skill patch pack! "In the previous lottery, Tang Cheng actually only won one bullet bonus skill and related skill patch pack, and the rest of the draws were all daily necessities. Tang Cheng didn't actually expect that he would be able to draw out multiple system skills at once, but he didn't want to pull out a lot of useless daily necessities by himself, even if he let himself out of weapons and equipment.
I don't know if God heard Tang Cheng's silent prayer in his heart, Tang Cheng's first lottery opportunity successfully drew a Mauser submachine pistol, which is called a 20-ring Mauser fast and slow machine **** by the Chinese. The Mauser pistol that Hans originally gave to Tang Cheng had already been given to Huang Zengcheng by Tang Cheng, and the Mauser 20-shot pistol that Tang Cheng pulled out at the moment was brand new, and even had a layer of gun oil on it.
With the first stroke, he pulled out a 20-round barge gun, and Tang Cheng's mood suddenly became very good, after all, this was also a good start, which was a good sign. The next lottery can be regarded as ups and downs, cigarettes, bullets and ** were drawn by Tang Cheng in turn, and he even pulled out a 50mm grenadier equipped by the Japanese army. The grenadier is a catapult curved fire weapon with the same principle as the mortar, and only the Japanese army is equipped with a grenadier on a large scale in the armies of all countries in the world today.
Tang Cheng's marksmanship is outstanding, but he is not good at the curved shooting weapon of the grenadier, but when he found that the grenadier is special **, and it can also use the bullet bonus skill, Tang Cheng suddenly felt that he had such a curved weapon, which was also good. In just a quarter of an hour, Tang Cheng had already used up most of the lottery opportunities he had just obtained, and only the last four lottery chances were left, and Tang Cheng, who had not yet won the system skills, was finally a little uneasy.
After praying silently in his heart again, the system lottery light curtain turned again, and this time, Tang Cheng finally got his wish and drew a new skill called search locking. It's just that like Tang Cheng's other system skills, this new skill he drew also has a limit on its use. Search locking, as the name suggests, means that Tang Cheng can use the target's photo or name to search for the target within a certain range after launching this new skill.
Looking at the literal explanation below the system, this new skill is indeed powerful, but the use restriction also makes Tang Cheng grit his teeth, because this new skill is actually only a one-time system skill. A one-time skill, that is to say, this new skill, after using it once, it is gone, in other words, such a powerful new skill, Tang Cheng can only use it once. Tang Cheng, who was secretly grinding his teeth at this moment, actually didn't have that frustration in his heart, at least this one-time new skill could solve the problem in front of Tang Cheng.
That's right, Tang Cheng's current problem is how to find an opportunity to continue to assassinate Yokomoto Ichiro. This new skill, which is like chicken ribs, finally gave Tang Cheng hope to solve the trouble, as long as he can successfully assassinate this Yokomoto Ichiro, he will be able to leave Shanghai and return to Chongqing. However, after Tang Cheng submitted Yokomoto Ichiro's name to the system, he found that there was another limitation to the use of this new skill, that is, the search range of the system was only within a radius of one kilometer centered on Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng silently calculated the distance between himself and Yokomoto Ichiro's residence at the moment, but found that he had already exceeded the range of one kilometer, so he understood that if he wanted to use the system to search for Yokomoto Ichiro's location, he had to find a way to appear within one kilometer of Yokomoto Ichiro's residence. It is impossible to do this during the day, after all, Hongkou District has been completely locked down, and it is full of gendarmes and plainclothes agents of the special high school.
Tang Cheng, who had been resurrected with all his blood just now, instantly lost the excitement he had just now, and said in his heart that if he wanted to shorten the distance between himself and Yokomoto Ichiro's residence, maybe it would only be possible to do it after it got dark. The last three remaining lottery chances were quickly used by Tang Cheng, and the two cans of canned beef drawn in a row made Tang Cheng's frustrated mood slightly better.
