Chapter XXII

Tang Cheng's words woke up Cao Wanchun, but Tang Cheng hinted at robbing people halfway, but Cao Wanchun was a little embarrassed, for no other reason, Cao Wanchun did not have effective manpower. "Xiao Wu, I know that you are good and have enough brains, you have to help me with this." Cao Wanchun relied on Tang Cheng regardless of it, and Tang Cheng, who couldn't cry or laugh, thought about it secretly, and then reluctantly nodded and agreed.

"Cao Wanchun seems to be rude, but he is actually thoughtful, otherwise he would not be regarded as a confidant by the one upstairs. The most important thing for us now is to get the appointment, although the one upstairs doesn't say it, but if the hamster can't be caught, our affairs may be delayed indefinitely. Therefore, I must help with this favor, this matter cannot be avoided. During the meal, Zhang Jianghe listened to Tang Cheng's explanation, and nodded secretly.

What's more, befriending Cao Wanchun can be regarded as an investment. Isn't it said that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, in case Cao Wanchun gains power one day, we might as well hug our thighs when the time comes. Seeing that Zhang Jianghe also nodded in agreement with his judgment, Tang Cheng immediately made a joke, Zhou Hongxiang and Zhang Jianghe didn't understand the meaning of hugging their thighs, Tang Cheng explained with a strange smile, and the two of them also laughed.

There is a certain risk of kidnapping people on the street, and the hamster is a member of the military committee, once the news is leaked or found on the spot, the consequences are not something that Tang Cheng can bear. After a brief lunch and then returning to the compound of the Intelligence Department, Tang Cheng just asked Cao Wanchun to borrow a car and a driver, and then drove away with Zhou Hongxiang. "Lao Zhang, aren't you worried at all?" Cao Wanchun, who felt like there were a hundred cats scratching in his heart, tried to talk to Zhang Jianghe here.

"If you're okay, just play a few games of chess with me, don't dangle in front of my eyes, okay!" Zhang Jianghe was so easily tricked by Cao Wanchun, he just took out the chess and shouted that he would fight Cao Wanchun for 300 rounds. Cao Wanchun, who was originally uneasy, had no choice but to patiently accompany Zhang Jianghe to play chess for a long time, but he didn't know that Tang Cheng, who left the compound of the Intelligence Department, did not go to wait for the hamster outside the Military Commission, but went straight to the courtyard where Kitaro Ozawa was arrested before.

Cao Wanchun's people carefully searched the entire courtyard, but they didn't find anything valuable here, thinking that maybe someone would come here to connect, Cao Wanchun still left two people here to guard the courtyard. "People have habitual thinking, and most people think that things are safest to hide in the house, but I don't think so." Tang Cheng first pretended to look through several rooms, and finally stood in the courtyard, focusing his eyes on one roof.

Zhou Hongxiang looked at Tang Cheng's gaze, and there was actually a swallow's nest on a wooden pillar under the eaves. "Get a ladder!" Tang Cheng didn't say much, just asked Cao Wanchun to lend his driver a ladder, and then stepped on the ladder close to the wooden pillar protruding from under the eaves. Tang Cheng had the picture of this wooden pillar in the memory that Ozawa Kitaro copied in his mind, but it was a pity that Tang Cheng's three opportunities to copy his memories today were all used up, so he had to come to this courtyard to inspect this wooden pillar on the spot to see what mystery was here.

Under Zhou Hongxiang's reminder, Tang Cheng carefully took off the swallow's nest on the wooden pillar and handed it to Zhou Hongxiang, and then tapped the handle of the short knife back and forth on the wooden pillar. "Huh?" Tang Cheng, who was standing on the ladder, struck the entire wooden pillar with the handle of a short knife, but found that the wooden pillar protruding from under the eaves was actually solid. This doesn't seem to be the same as I guessed, huh? Tang Cheng, who was standing on the ladder, was a little blindfolded at the moment, and the wooden pillar was solid, so it was impossible for something to hide in the wooden pillar.

Did I guess wrong? Tang Cheng cheered up and carefully inspected the wooden pillar again, and when he saw the dirt, he even used a short knife to clean up the dirt. But it's a pity that even if Tang Cheng cleaned up this wooden pillar as if it were a new wood, the wooden pillar was a wooden pillar, and the slightest abnormality was not discovered by Tang Cheng. "Try to see if you can pull out the wooden pillar, or move it left and right!" Zhou Hongxiang, who was helping to hold the ladder, suddenly said at this moment, she had already seen that Tang Cheng had decided that there was a problem with this wooden pillar.

Zhou Hong's words reminded Tang Cheng that since this wooden pillar had appeared in Ozawa Kitaro's mind, it meant that there must be something wrong here. Although it has been determined that there is no problem with the wooden pillar, this does not mean that there is no problem with this eaves, and Zhou Hongxiang's reminder just now may be the key to the problem. Tang Cheng twisted his body on the ladder to make himself stand more steady, and then used a short knife to clean the place where the wooden pillar connected to the eaves, and after a dozen breaths, a smile appeared on Tang Cheng's face.

"You guessed it right, this wooden pillar is simply movable, and it can be unscrewed!" There was a hint of excitement in Tang Cheng's voice, and soon, he unscrewed the wooden pillar sticking out of the eaves from the connection like a screw. The wooden pillar was unscrewed, and the mystery was truly revealed, and it turned out that the thing was not hidden in the wooden pillar, but in the hole that was revealed after the wooden pillar was unscrewed.

"These people hide things, but they hide them tightly enough, if you hadn't reminded me just now, these things would have been missed by us." Tang Cheng didn't really have much to dig out of the hole, just a book-like thing heavily wrapped in oiled paper, and a flat iron box. Tang Cheng picked up the slightly weighty flat iron box and shook it gently, there were clearly things in the box, but there was no sound, and the things in the box seemed to be fixed.

"Let's go, let's go back first, these two things must be seen by Uncle Cao and them first, after all, we are just helping them." It was still early for the military committee to get off work, so Tang Cheng took Zhou Hong's makeup back to the intelligence department, anyway, he was not interested in these two things. On the way back to the intelligence department, Zhou Hongxiang looked a little sullen, and Tang Cheng, who knew it, said a few jokes one after another, but he didn't amuse Zhou Hongxiang, so he simply opened the topic and talked about the previous things.

"Are you still angry about handing over Kitaro Ozawa to the Intelligence Section?" It is not difficult to guess Zhou Hongxiang's thoughts, because from the moment she left the interrogation room, Zhou Hongxiang's expression looked a little speechless. "Do you think that if we don't give people to them, they won't stretch out their hands? Since the sudden interrogation was severe, the Intelligence Bureau has actually been involved in this case, which involves too many people. If my guess is correct, the Intelligence Bureau took over Kitaro Ozawa, which is actually the meaning of the director. ”

"I'm not saying that you can't give people to them, but they didn't contribute at all from beginning to end, and the Japanese named Ozawa was judged by you, so why did you give it to them like this? That jade plate can only be exchanged for dozens of oceans, I just don't feel fair! Zhou Hong, who was guessed to be thinking, did not hide it in front of Tang Cheng, but just said what he thought in his heart.

"It's unfair, but you know, I didn't take on this case to get anything! If it weren't for the commissioner's constant hanging of me, I would have stayed at home all this time. Chongqing, we must go, only according to the requirements of the director to handle this case, to go to Chongqing to appoint, we can get it. And that jade plaque, the money given for free, why don't we want it! When I get back, I'll have to ask them for money for the two things you have now. ”

After untying Zhou Hong's makeup for a while, the resentment in the latter's heart slowly dissipated, and Tang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. From the moment he learned that the hamster that Yan Song confessed was lurking in the military committee, Tang Cheng knew that he had already participated in the troubled waters, so he would try his best to persuade Cao Wanchun to arrest people, and at the same time get himself out of this matter first. During the interrogation of Kitaro Ozawa, although Tang Cheng faced Kitaro Ozawa alone, he knew that one of the two torturers was the secret son of Director An inserted in the torture department.

Tang Cheng deliberately stayed with that shadow by his side, just to want the director to show that he didn't make small moves, and asked Ozawa Kitaro in the first half, Tang Cheng showed nonsense, and he was also showing his attitude to the director. If you want the horse to run fast, you must first feed the horse, and if you want to contribute wholeheartedly, you must give yourself orders, this is Tang Cheng's attitude.

Tang Cheng did not expect the intervention of the Intelligence Bureau, and he guessed in his heart that the intervention of the Intelligence Bureau might be a manifestation of the Director's dissatisfaction with him, or it could be that the development of the situation required the intervention of the Intelligence Bureau. Tang Cheng was worried that it would be the former reason, so he would return to the small courtyard with Zhou Hong's makeup, and he needed to find out what Kitaro Ozawa was hiding here as his bargaining chip, so that the director could change his opinion of himself.

Tang Cheng thought of this, even Zhang Jianghe didn't know, and Tang Cheng didn't plan to tell Zhang Jianghe to know. The sedan drove into the compound of the intelligence department, and through the window of the car, Tang Cheng had already seen Zhang Jianghe standing on the front steps of the building with Cao Wanchun, Tang Cheng suddenly laughed, things may not be as bad as he expected. Tang Cheng saw Zhang Jiang and Mei for the first time, and the second thing he saw was Cao Wanchun's bad expression, from Cao Wanchun's expression at the moment, Tang Cheng smiled even happier.

"Uncle Cao, don't talk nonsense, give me a hundred oceans, and I'll give you a big gift!" Tang Cheng's first words when he saw Cao Wanchun were to ask for money, Cao Wanchun, who was about to be furious with the corners of his eyes slanted, followed Tang Cheng's line of sight to look at the briefcase that Zhou Hongxiang was carrying in his hand, but suddenly changed his expression, and directly squeezed Tang Cheng away with a single arrow step and appeared next to Zhou Hongxiang.
