Chapter 36: The Unexpected
Tang Cheng took the initiative to give up command, that is, he deliberately gave most of the credit for the operation to Zhang Jianghe, and the two who knew each other's intentions glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces while having a tacit understanding. The relationship between Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe, the veteran policemen of the investigation team all knew that even if Tang Cheng took the initiative to give up command, the veteran policemen under him did not feel that there was anything wrong.
With the action team members brought by Zhang Jianghe, the problem of manpower shortage has finally been alleviated, although Zhang Jianghe's specific front-line action ability is not as good as Tang Cheng's, but his ability to command the overall situation far exceeds Tang Cheng's. After learning more about the situation, Zhang Jianghe immediately made arrangements, divided the action team members he brought into several groups, and formed a mixed team with the veteran police team under Tang Cheng to strictly control the surroundings of the miscellaneous courtyard.
"Uncle, or I'll leave it to you here, I'll go over there and take a look!" Tang Cheng couldn't see anything omission in Zhang Jianghe's arrangement, but the more this was the case, the more bottomless he felt in his heart, after all, there was another connector who appeared in the teahouse. There was only Zhang Jiang and one person in front of him on the left and right, Tang Cheng naturally said whatever he wanted, and the others didn't know what they said. Zhang Jianghe froze slightly when he heard this, and then he didn't say anything to stop him, but just nodded in agreement.
Tang Cheng's other team of veteran policemen had already stopped at this moment, and the three letters that they followed all the way did not return to their residence, but went in a circle and went to another teahouse. After learning the current location of the other team from the tea shop, Tang Cheng immediately rushed over with Zhao Dashan, "Captain, the target we are tracking should not be awake, but his movement trajectory is very strange, and no abnormal behavior has been found on the way." ”
Standing at the entrance of the alley diagonally opposite the Sanjiang Teahouse, Tang Cheng listened to the report of the old policeman under his command while looking at the Sanjiang Teahouse. Sanjiang Teahouse only looks at the double open door, you know that the area of this teahouse is not small, before Lenovo the old policeman vaguely reminded that Tang Cheng knew that this Sanjiang teahouse is probably not simple. "Lao Fu has already brought people in, but there is no news yet."
The old policeman who was left in the alley waiting to pick up Tang Cheng and them was not without regret in his words, Tang Cheng only frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. Lao Fu, who is over forty years old, is the oldest of these veteran policemen under Tang Cheng. In the investigation team, Lao Fu is not considered to be outstanding, but he is not leaky when he gets things done. Knowing that it was Lao Fu who brought people into the Sanjiang Teahouse, Tang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and even dispelled the idea of going in person.
Tang Cheng and the others waited in the alley for about half an hour, and only then did an old policeman from the investigation team slowly come out of the Sanjiang Teahouse, "It's Yang Cheng!" "Zhao Dashan has good eyesight and can recognize people at a glance. Yang Cheng, who came out of the Sanjiang Teahouse, did not come directly to the alley, but walked along the side of the street first, and after buying a pack of cigarettes from a street cigarette seller, he crossed the street and walked towards the alley with a nonchalant face.
"You mean, the target you're tracking is working in this teahouse?" After Yang Cheng explained the situation, Zhao Dashan and the others finally knew why Lao Fu and the others hadn't come out for a long time, but Tang Cheng was thinking about other things at the moment. Sichuan people love to make teahouses, like to come to the teahouse to pass the time, and the top of the teahouse is the most important thing is the guy who is responsible for making tea.
Tang Cheng's first reaction at this moment was that there was a problem with this Sanjiang teahouse, but after thinking about it, his guess seemed a little unreasonable, if there was a problem with this Sanjiang teahouse, why did the connector go to other teahouses to meet that mysterious person? Wouldn't it be safer to meet at the Sanjiang Tea House! Tang Cheng's brows slowly relaxed, "Immediately investigate the background of the Sanjiang Teahouse, I want to know the identity and background of the owner of this teahouse, as well as the relationship between the teahouse and the Pao Brothers!" ”
It is said that Sichuan's Pao Brother Yi is the first, especially in the Anti-Japanese War, the Pao Brother Association also contributed its own strength, but if there are no traitors and traitors in the Pao Brother Association, Tang Cheng does not believe it. The old policemen who were guarding the alley with Tang Cheng dispersed, and according to Tang Cheng's orders, Tang Cheng reached out and pulled out a pistol from Zhao Dashan's waist and handed it to Yang Cheng to take care of, and then took Zhao Dashan out of the alley and went straight to Sanjiang Teahouse.
Sanjiang Tea House has a total of three floors, and the guests who often come here are generally concentrated in the lobby on the first floor, and only a few people will go to the second floor to open a private room for a party, as for the third floor of Sanjiang Tea House, almost no one has ever gone up. As soon as Tang Cheng and the two entered the Sanjiang Teahouse, Lao Fu and a few people who were sitting around a mahjong table had already seen Tang Cheng and Zhao Dashan. According to Tang Cheng's previous explanation, Zhao Dashan secretly shook his head at Lao Fu and the others, and the latter pretended not to know Tang Cheng and the others, but they were playing mahjong by themselves as before.
It is said that the pace of life in Sichuan is the slowest, and Tang Cheng, who has always haunted teahouses and taverns these days, has a deeper understanding of this sentence. There was no talk in the Sanjiang Teahouse, nor was it as lively as in the casino, there was just whispering or the sound of mahjong slapping on the table, and occasionally a few complaints were heard, but they were quickly replaced by deliberately muffled laughter. Most of the people who haunt the teahouse are middle-aged, Tang Cheng knows that among these people, many of them have the identity of Brother Pao, but he doesn't know which ones are Brother Qing Shui and which ones are Brother Muddy Water.
Tang Cheng and the two casually found a table to sit down and asked for refreshments casually, Tang Cheng opened the newspaper he brought and read it, but Zhao Dashan took his tea bowl to the side of the mahjong table behind him and became a spectator. There are also guests like Tang Cheng who read newspapers in the Sanjiang Teahouse, except that Tang Cheng's age looks a little young, and there is nothing else to attract attention. Tang Cheng was reading the newspaper, accompanied by the action of turning the newspaper, but the corner of his eye was looking back and forth at the lobby of the teahouse.
Yang Cheng said that they confirmed that the target was to work in the Sanjiang Teahouse, but Tang Cheng looked back and forth, but did not see the target at all. Just when Tang Cheng was in doubt, Zhao Dashan also found that the situation was wrong at this moment, because he didn't see the target haunted in the lobby. What's going on? Could it be that Lao Fu and they are looking at the wrong person? With doubts, Zhao Dashan, who had drunk the empty tea bowl, turned around and returned to the table, and raised his eyes to look at Tang Cheng with the action of pouring tea.
Tang Cheng and Zhao Dashan obviously had some tacit understanding, and the two of them just looked at each other, and they already understood what the other party meant. Tang Cheng saw that Zhao Dashan seemed to have the idea of going to Lao Fu to inquire, so he shook his head lightly at the other party, Lao Fu They could stay in the teahouse all the time and did not leave, so they should be 100% sure of the existence of the target, and Tang Cheng did not believe that Lao Fu, who had more than ten years of police experience, would look at the wrong person.
Lao Fu, who had been paying attention to Tang Cheng and the two, also discovered the interaction between Zhao Dashan and Tang Cheng at this moment, and Lao Fu, who knew what was going on, wanted to get up and come over and tell Tang Cheng the inside story. Just thinking of the hint in Zhao Dashan's eyes when he entered the door, Lao Fu had to be patient and didn't move, but when he reached out to touch the cards, his left hand, which had been idle, suddenly raised and touched his cheek.
There are still a few tables between Lao Fu's mahjong table and Tang Cheng, but Zhao Dashan, who is sitting facing south, can clearly see Lao Fu's movements at the moment as long as he looks up at Lao Fu's side. Lao Fu's left hand rubbed his cheek back and forth, this action looks very ordinary, but as long as you can see Lao Fu's action of touching his face at the moment, you can find that only three fingers of Lao Fu's left hand are stretched.
The three fingers stretched out represent the third floor of the Sanjiang Teahouse at this moment, just before Tang Cheng and the two came in, facing Lao Fu in the direction of the stairs, he saw the target being called to the third floor of the teahouse. After more than ten breaths, he had been paying attention to Zhao Dashan with his spare eyes, but he hadn't seen Lao Fu who was looking at him from the super big mountain for a long time, and he was ready to take the initiative to expose himself and inform Lao Fu of Tangcheng about the situation, and suddenly found that Yang Cheng, who was supposed to be guarding outside, was coming in from outside the teahouse quickly.
"Let's go, go out and talk!" After Yang Cheng whispered in his ear, Tang Cheng immediately got up and stood up, and when Zhao Dashan was still confused, he saw that Tang Cheng had already waved his hand and made a retreat gesture at Lao Fu and the others. Like Zhao Dashan, the confused Lao Fu and the others left the Sanjiang Teahouse one after another, and after coming to the alley to meet Tang Cheng, Lao Fu and the others finally knew that the target of going up to the third floor with his own eyes was swaggered by Yang Cheng a minute ago.
At that time, Yang Cheng was the only one here at the entrance of the alley, whether he followed immediately or rushed into the teahouse to inform Tang Cheng, he couldn't do the best of both worlds, and Yang Cheng directly chose to inform Tang Cheng. "Well done, call this number later, and the intelligence department will send someone to help. After we figure out the background of the teahouse, you take the people from the intelligence department to control the Sanjiang teahouse immediately, and you must find the secret passage. ”
Tang Cheng and the others were guarding in the lobby of the Sanjiang Teahouse, but the target unexpectedly appeared outside the teahouse, which means that there must be a secret passage to the outside of the Sanjiang Teahouse. Tang Cheng's explanation woke up Zhao Dashan and the others, if Tang Cheng didn't say it, they didn't think of the secret way. Yang Cheng was ordered to continue to guard the entrance of the alley, while Tang Cheng took Zhao Dashan and them to track them in the direction pointed out by Yang Cheng.
How far can an adult walk in a minute, if Tang Cheng is walking at full speed, he may be able to walk the distance of two streets in a minute. But this is Chongqing, and when the target walked in front of Yang Cheng, the speed of movement was not very fast, so the scope of Tang Cheng's lockdown was only the area of two streets north of the Sanjiang Teahouse. Zhao Dashan and the others immediately dispersed in groups of two and two along the fork in front, and searched north along the two streets extending behind the fork.
