"That's right, I'm talking about the shoe shop at the end of the street, and the owner is an old English man with a white beard." Seeing that Hans still had an expression that he didn't understand the situation, Tang Cheng was a little anxious. "I went out of your place, and I was going to wander all the way back, but I happened to pass by the shoe store at the end of the street, so I was going to go in and have a look. And guess what? The owner of the shoe store, I once saw this person on a document. ”

Tang Cheng used insight to know the identity of the shoe store owner, but in front of Hans, Tang Cheng naturally couldn't reveal the system's affairs, so on the way back to the restaurant, Tang Cheng had already thought of words and excuses. "Do you remember the last time I came to Shanghai, I attacked a Japanese military hospital? The document was carried by a Japanese officer at the time, but unfortunately half of the document was burned, and I only saw that the document had a photo of the owner of the shoe store and a description of the British intelligence agency. ”

Tang Cheng said his excuse very generally, which gave Hans room for imagination at will, the British were actually not honest, as early as when the Japanese army launched the Songhu War, the British had already known the movements and war intentions of the Japanese army in advance, but they did not inform the people in time. The British, who are still obsessed with the memories of the empire on which the sun never sets, do not care at all about the war that broke out between China and Japan, and for them, as long as it does not harm British interests in China, the matter has nothing to do with them.

Hans had also faintly received information that British intelligence agencies were secretly cooperating with the Japanese against the United States, but he did not get any solid evidence to support these news. Listening to Tang Cheng's words at this moment, Hans's heart was shocked, and it seemed that the news he received at that time was not groundless. "I have received unconfirmed information that the British are secretly working with the Japanese to counter America's growing influence in Asia, and now it seems that those rumors should be true!"

Hans's face was clearly unpleasant, and strictly speaking, these could be counted as mistakes on his part. Tang Cheng frowned secretly when he heard this, he was not interested in listening to Hans explain the ins and outs to him at the moment, he just wanted to know if he had been targeted by the British when he often came to Hans. "Don't talk about it yet, I just want to know, the shoe store at the end of the street, have you paid attention to it? And the people under your command who go in and out haven't noticed that shoe store? ”

Hans, who was trying to remember in his mind, immediately looked up at Tang Cheng when he heard this, "Tang, you mean that the shoe store is here for me?" On the surface, this restaurant is Hans's hiding place, but in fact it is a place for Hans to use his work to benefit himself. If something goes wrong with the restaurant, there is a risk that his family in Germany will lose his current privileged life, which Hans cannot accept.

"I don't know, but when I was talking to the shoe store owner face-to-face, it didn't seem like he knew about me. If they're already eyeing you, there's no way they don't know that I'm here so often, and maybe there's a reason we don't know. It was impossible for Tang Cheng to say his true judgment, so he said it well, but his words were also subtly guiding Hans's train of thought.

"Yes, you're right! The British do the same unscrupulous things, but they don't do things without reason, and they don't put a stronghold in this street without a reason. Hans was lost in thought, but he could not see the purpose of the Englishman's move, but he must admit that he had not paid attention to the shoe shop at the end of the street before Don Town reminded him.

"In my opinion, it's better to start first, and directly tie up the shoe store owner, and you can have a clear understanding of what happened!" Tang Cheng, who was quiet, glanced at Hans secretly, and immediately made a suggestion for Hans. "Sometimes, a simple and crude solution is better than a guess here. And you haven't always wanted to deal with the British, I think this is a good opportunity, the concession is so messy, who can know who did it. ”

Tang Cheng's suggestion made Hans a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant in his heart, if the engine was in a situation of enemy and our, the German intelligence agencies and the intelligence agencies of other countries would not be able to deal with each other. But he has never really dealt with the intelligence officers of other countries in all the years he has been lurking in Shanghai, because Hans is worried that once he starts this way, Shanghai's intelligence circle will become a mess, and the intelligence personnel of all countries in Shanghai may become killers.

Seeing Hans hesitate, Tang Cheng sighed secretly in his heart, he could already see that Hans was not very receptive to the suggestion he had just made. But if Tang Cheng couldn't be sure whether the shoe shop owner had paid attention to him, he didn't feel at ease about leaving Shanghai, because whether he was noticed by British intelligence agencies was important to Tang Cheng's long-planned operation. "Don, is there no other solution?" After a moment, Hans finally spoke.

Tang Cheng shook his head when he heard this, "Hans, you are also doing intelligence work, how can you not know the methods of intelligence agencies!" If the intelligence agencies of the British have noticed you here, you have become transparent, Hans, think about your family who are still in Germany, do you dare to take such a risk? Knowing that Hans valued his family the most, Tang Cheng knew how to convince Hans, and sure enough, when Tang Cheng mentioned Hans's family, Hans's face gradually showed a trace of anger.

"No, I will never allow my family to be affected!" Hans grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank it down, and after slamming the glass on the table, Hans glared at Tang Cheng. "Don, if this matter is known, it will be the beginning of a disaster. Although there was a Ministry of Industry Bureau in the concession to handle daily affairs, in fact, the British had a lot of influence in the concession. So, this matter, absolutely can't use my people, and..."

Hans, who suddenly paused to speak, suddenly thought of the batch of medicines they got back today in Tang City, if he wanted to do something to the shoe store at the end of the street, once these two things were connected and pondered together, the danger he would face would be even greater. Tang Cheng had already thought of what Hans could think of, but he was not as flustered as Hans, because when he decided to come back to report to Hans, he had already decided to get the idea of taking that batch of medicines.

"Moreover, we just robbed the British warehouse today, if these two things are linked by the British, the trouble may be even greater!" After a pause, Hans finally said the following words, his heart was already completely confused at this moment, and Tang Cheng in front of him was the only help he could rely on. "So, Don, you have to help me again, you can't use my people in this matter, I can only ask you for help!"

Finally led Hans to this step, Tang Cheng was secretly proud in his heart, but there was not the slightest fluctuation in his expression. "Okay, I'm leaving Shanghai anyway, even if it gets big, they won't be able to find me." Tang Cheng's unhesitation made Hans's mood better, but before a smile could bloom on his face, he saw Tang Cheng stretch out his right hand and use his thumb, index finger and middle finger to make an extremely familiar gesture in front of him.

Tang Cheng's three-finger gesture of counting the money made Hans's originally better mood instantly junior, but he didn't have a seizure on the spot, according to his understanding of Tang Cheng, if Tang Cheng didn't do this, it would make Hans suspicious. "Give money, as long as you give money, I will help you. I also want to warn you that I am very expensive, and I will not agree to give less money. Tang Cheng, who twisted his finger at Hans, did not feel the slightest embarrassment, but looked very reasonable.

Hans knows Tang Cheng on his own, and Tang Cheng also knows that Hans is a suspicious person by nature, and Tang Cheng feels that setting up a greedy character for himself can better contact Hans. "I can provide you with a safe house for interrogation, but I can't help you with the arrest and removal of traces afterwards." Hans did not hesitate, nor did he have any intention of bargaining with Tang Cheng, and directly took out ten gold bars from the drawer and handed them to Tang Cheng.

"Don't worry, I'll do things, aren't you at ease!" Tang Cheng happily stretched out his hand and grabbed the gold bars handed by Hans, and deliberately bit them one by one in front of Hans to distinguish the real from the fake. "But you don't need the place you provide, I can solve it myself! I'm going to do it right in the next few days, and if all goes well, you'll get the answer soon. As a friend, I need to remind you first that you need to be prepared to be noticed by British intelligence. ”

Tang Cheng's words were not said casually, the head of the British intelligence agency in Shanghai would definitely not be idle and have nothing to do, and make a joke in a shoe store on this street. Hans had been in Shanghai for many years, and was so active in the black market, although Hans still wore an American skin, but the British were also very dissatisfied with the Yankees.

"Thank you for the reminder, I will also inquire about the news here, I hope you can also bring me good news!" Tang Cheng had already taken the money, and Hans could only bet all his hopes on Tang Cheng, and it was too late for him to regret it now. Tang Cheng has always been a person who doesn't like to procrastinate, and now that he has convinced Hans to do something to the shoe store at the end of the street, Tang Cheng has no idea of waiting a few more days.

The rain was still falling outside, there were far fewer passers-by on the streets, and some shops were closing early when they saw that there was no business. Half an hour later, Tang Cheng left the back door of the restaurant, covered his upper body with a large black umbrella, and walked down the side of the street towards the shoe store at the end of the street.
