Chapter 49: Locking in a New Target
The things that had been bothering him were actually solved by Tang Cheng in a few words, and Xu Huanshan didn't know what to say with his mouth open. Tang Cheng didn't speak, just smoked quietly, waiting for Xu Huanshan to come back to his senses. After a while, Xu Huanshan, who finally came back to his senses, spoke, "What you said is really right, we can meet here, and it is really fate!" Xu Huanshan thanked him, but saw Tang Cheng stretch out his fingertips and began to tap the table in a rhythmic manner.
Xu Huanshan, who was familiar with Tang Cheng's habit, chuckled in his heart, the last time he was in Nanjing, Tang Cheng started from this action and made a request to himself. Sure enough, after Xu Huanshan paused, Tang Cheng spoke, "I'm not helping you for nothing, I don't want money or things this time, just information." You should have a lot of information about Shanghai Special High-tech, and I heard that Shanghai Special High-Tech has only transferred a group of people from outside the customs, and I want their information. ”
The Shanghai underground party had already heard about the transfer of personnel from outside the customs of Shanghai Special High-tech Co., Ltd., but Xu Huanshan just didn't expect that Tang Cheng would actually know the news. "These Japanese spies from outside the Kansai are headed by a man named Oshima Shigeta, and I am going to assassinate this Oshima Shigeta." Under Xu Huanshan's questioning, Tang Cheng told the reason, but he did not tell Xu Huanshan his source.
Tang Cheng mentioned the assassination, and Xu Huanshan understood the reason why Tang Cheng appeared in Shanghai, and the Dare Intelligence Department sent Tang Cheng as an assassin. Xu Huanshan thought that he knew the purpose of Tang Cheng's visit to Shanghai, but he did not expect that Tang Cheng's preparation to assassinate Oshima Shigeda was not an order from the headquarters of the Intelligence Department. The purpose of his doing this was just to cause chaos for the Japanese army in Shanghai and the special high-tech department, so that they would not have time to pay attention to the affairs of the lonely army camp during this time.
Xu Huanshan's eyes flickered, and he did not escape Tang Cheng's eyes, and Tang Cheng, who saw through it and did not say it, laughed secretly. "Tegaoke transferred people from outside the customs to Shanghai, it should be a big move, Shanghai Station has been suppressed by them and is almost out of breath, I guess Tegaoke's next target is likely to be your underground party. You should know that I am a man of action, and I have to do it when I think of it, and if I can't get rid of their key people in advance, I'm afraid you will have a more difficult time in the future. ”
When Tang Cheng told Xu Huanshan that he was going to assassinate Oshima Shigeta, he didn't know that in a room on the second floor of the Shanghai headquarters of Tegaoke, Oshima Shigeda, who had been listed as an assassination target by him, was looking at a document with a serious face. The information that Oshima Shigeta is looking at at this moment is the investigation report of the scene where Yamamoto Kikuko's team was ambushed, and under this investigation report, there is another piece of information, which is the investigation report of the attack on the headquarters of the Zodiac of the New Asia Hotel.
Being able to be transferred from outside the customs to Shanghai by the Shanghai headquarters of Tegaoke, Oshima Shigeta's own ability is undoubted, but in the two days after he arrived in Shanghai, he just hid in this office and looked through various materials, and did not act immediately as soon as he arrived in Shanghai, like Kikuko Yamamoto. Shigeta Oshima and Kikuko Yamamoto are not affiliated, and Shigeta Oshima is from outside the Seki, but Kikuko Yamamoto is transferred from mainland Japan. It's just that now, Kikuko Yamamoto has become a corpse, but Shigeta Oshima is still alive and well.
After reading this survey report several times in a row, to be honest, Oshima Shigeta did not find any usable clues from it, and the clues found by the trace experts at the survey site were not of much use in Oshima Shigeda's opinion. The bloodstains found behind the wall don't mean anything, and the same goes for the traces found on the wall, and the only thing that interests Shigerita Oshima is the bullet found on the corpse of Kikuko Yamamoto's team, which can actually be matched with a record that has been archived by the Traces Division.
This discovery may be the only gain of Shigeta Oshima in the past two days, so he called up the information on the murder of the New Asia Hotel according to the records archived by the Traces Division. After reading the investigation records of the attack on the headquarters of the Zodiac Club of the New Asia Hotel, Shigeda Oshima really found what he was looking for, especially after he carefully compared the two investigation reports, he found that the methods of the perpetrators seemed to be very similar, and they all had the habit of recovering guns after the fact.
If it was only the similarities that were found in the aftermath of the shooting, Oshima Shigeta would not have been so interested in the investigation report of the New Asia Hotel, and another reason was that Oshima Shiveta also found traces similar to flying claws in the report of the New Asia Hotel. There are also such traces on the wall of the scene where Yamamoto Kikuko's team was ambushed, and Oshima Shigeta did not deal with the so-called snitch outside the pass, and he recognized this trace at a glance as left by the flying claws.
It's just that the crime scene of the New Asia Hotel is a high-rise building, how did the perpetrator use the flying claws to climb to that height? Shigeta Oshima, who couldn't think of an answer, lit a cigarette, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly thought of a possibility, would the perpetrator enter through the main entrance of the New Asia Hotel, and then use the flying claw rope to leave the suite? Shigeda Oshima deduced it several times in his mind, and then decided that this was very possible, but this inference could only be determined after visiting the New Asia Hotel on the spot.
As for the total annihilation of Yamamoto Kikuko's team, Oshima Shigeta can only say that this stupid woman is too unlucky, Yamamoto Kikuko is actually not good at specific actions, and for her death, Oshima Shigeta's heart is more emotional than sad. Thinking of the stupid woman Yamamoto Kikuko, Oshima Shigeta thought of the elusive perpetrator, and the traces left at the scene of the attack on Yamamoto Kikuko's team all proved that the murderer who ambushed them was probably just one person.
The reason why Yamamoto's Kikuko squad appeared in the concession was to trap a Korean National Salvation Army traffic officer, and the Shanghai headquarters of the special high-tech department believed that it was the Korean National Salvation Army hiding in the concession that ambushed Yamamoto Kikuko's team. According to his understanding of the Korean National Salvation Army, there are few lone wolves with such courage and skill among the North Koreans who can only fight weakly.
Based on Oshima Shigeta's experience with the enemy outside the gates, he did not believe that the person who ambushed Yamamoto Kikuko's team was a member of the Korean National Salvation Army, not to mention that the bullet found at the scene had been confirmed to be from the pistol lost at the Zodiac Headquarters of the New Asia Hotel. The Korean National Salvation Army and the Zodiac Society can't fight each other, and there can be no connection between the two, but why did the same pistol appear in the two scenes? The more Oshima Shigeta thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and he stood in front of the window and looked out for a while, and the chaos in Oshima Shigeta's mind gradually calmed down.
Oshima Shigeta then took a subordinate and went straight to the New Asia Hotel, more than half a month has passed since the Zodiac Society, but the New Asia Hotel is not as good as before. Shigeta Oshima showed his ID card and went down to the floor where the headquarters of the Zodiac Society was located under the personal guidance of the hotel manager. Most of the people of the Zodiac Society were attacked and killed by Tang Cheng, and the remaining three or two kittens couldn't do anything at all, and they only hid in the New Asia Hotel these days.
The appearance of Oshima Shigeta made these members of the Zodiac mistakenly think that it was time to operate, but Oshima Shigeta ignored them at all, and just went to the upstairs suite to check. Standing in the back window of the suite and looking down, Shigeda Oshima said that if it was a change for himself, he would never dare to slide down the rope from here. The people who attacked the Zodiac that night were said to be three people, and I think these three people must have been very skilled.
After a trip to the New Asia Hotel, Shigeda Oshima didn't find any new clues available, but before he left, he did find time to chat with the remnants of the Zodiac Society for a while. "Section Chief, I went to the New Asia Hotel, and the remaining people of the Zodiac Society have been idle, but I feel that those people still have some value to use. The matter of Yamamoto's squad can be regarded as a wake-up call to us, if we want to deal with the resistors among the Chinese, we still have to use talents like the Zodiac Society! ”
Shigeda Oshima, who had returned to the headquarters of the Special High Branch, made his own suggestions to the section chief, and he had been engaged in intelligence work outside the customs for many years, and he was very proficient in using China to control China. The matter of Yamamoto Kikuko's team is the biggest loss since the establishment of the Shanghai headquarters of Tegaoke. Therefore, Shigeda Oshima's suggestion was not abrupt and unreasonable to say at this time, at least among the high-level leaders of the Shanghai headquarters of Tegaoke, there was also such an intention.
Shigeda Oshima, who has the support of the top, appears confident, but he does not yet know that he has become the next target of Tang Cheng. Just when Oshima Shigeta was full of confidence and was ready to make a big move, the Shanghai underground party had already taken active action and was inquiring about Oshima Shigeta's news and intelligence through various channels. Xu Huanshan was a little worried about Tang Cheng's idea of wanting to assassinate Oshima Shigeta, he was not worried about Tang Cheng's ability, but worried that Tang Cheng would not be able to withdraw smoothly after the assassination.
Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan are old acquaintances, but he has never shown off his camouflage ability in front of Xu Huanshan, and he has never told Xu Huanshan that he has valid documents that can enter and exit the Japanese-controlled area. In other words, as long as Tang Cheng was willing, he could safely enter and exit the Japanese-controlled area at any time, and he would not be discovered by the Japanese. Tang Cheng's hole cards are hidden very deeply, so Xu Huanshan's worries are just superfluous.
Two days later, the Shanghai underground party had collected a lot of information related to Oshima Shigeta, but unfortunately, Oshima Shigeta's actions, which had always been secluded, were erratic, and the Shanghai underground party had not been able to find Oshima Shigeta's whereabouts. "It's out of the way, as long as you have a picture of this person, it's fine!" In a group photo of many people together, Shigeda Oshima, who has a flat head, has been highlighted, and Tang Cheng, who got this photo, is very satisfied with it.
