Chapter 42: Seeing Through

Tang Cheng appeared in time, and finally appeared on the roof of the main house just in time when Zhou Hongxiang was about to commit suicide. Condescendingly, he had no idea that there was a woman at his feet, who was preparing to end her life with her own hands in a very cruel way. Tang Cheng shot just because those men in black rushed into the courtyard, and at this moment, he was completely sure to kill these men in black in the courtyard.

The two ** pistols had a total of 16 bullets, enough for Tang Cheng to shoot the group of black-clothed men in the courtyard, and Tang Cheng, who seized the opportunity, did not give the black-clothed men a chance to fight back, but in a few breaths, he squatted on the roof and shot all 16 bullets. Facts have proved that Tang Cheng's timing was very accurate, and when these men in black were extremely shocked by Zhou Hongxiang's actions, Tang Cheng shot.

This is not only a concession, but also a downtown area, and shooting in the downtown area will inevitably attract the concession patrol. Although Tang Cheng's pistol was equipped with ***, the gunshots and explosions in the yard before had been heard by many people. Quickly replaced the spare magazines for the two ** pistols, Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the roof, jumped into the yard, and there was another rapid burst of fire, Tang Cheng, who never left any trouble, replenished the guns one by one for the corpses in the yard, and then turned around and walked into the main house full of gunsmoke.

As in the blood-filled courtyard, there were corpses in the small main house, and more than one. "Huh?" Tang Cheng, who was just looking around in a hurry, was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly found that the young woman who had fallen under the windowsill seemed to have moved her arm. Tang Cheng immediately leaned over, stretched out his finger and put it under the other party's nose, and a hint of joy quickly appeared on Tang Cheng's face, and there was still breath, which meant that he was not dead.

After quickly checking whether the other corpses were still breathing, and confirming that only this young woman was still alive in this room, Tang Cheng leaned over and picked up Zhou Hongxiang, who had fallen into a coma, from the ground and quickly left. After about a cigarette, a large group of sturdy men in suits rushed into the courtyard, led by none other than Oshima Ueno, who had been working hard to investigate the Izakaya murder. "Section Leader, no live mouth was found, according to the information we had before, someone should have escaped from the target hidden here." Oshima Ueno soon got a report from his subordinates, and Oshima Ueno, whose face changed slightly, secretly gritted his teeth, this was obviously not the result he wanted to see.

"Found it... Found a passage to escape. The men in suits who entered the main house to search soon made new discoveries, and the hole in the wall blocked by Zhou Hong's makeup with a cabinet was found by the people of the special high school. A few men in suits immediately drilled out of the main house along the hole in the wall, but unfortunately, they came a little late, and the alley on the other side of the hole was already empty, and they chased down the alley to another street, and found no trace of the target.

Tang Cheng, who left the courtyard before the arrival of the special high school, was handing a stack of banknotes to a rickshaw driver with an honest face at this moment, "Brother Huang, you must accept this money." Without waiting for the other party to refuse, Tang Cheng stuffed the banknote into the other party's hand. I was very careful not to leave blood stains in your car, and don't go home right away after you leave. It's better to continue to work on the streets as you used to do, so that no one suspects you. Although this money is not a lot, it is enough for you to buy some clothes for your family, and it is almost the New Year, which can be regarded as my New Year's red envelope for your children. ”

Tang Cheng stuffed the stack of almost 200 yuan bills to the rickshaw driver, and then carried Zhou Hong's makeup, which was wrapped in a coat, into the alley behind him, where the back door of Hans's restaurant was located. Hans was a German under the banner of an American, and although Germany and Japan had secretly formed an alliance, Tang Cheng believed that Hans would never betray him to the High School, and that he had to enlist Hans's help to save the woman.

"Hans, without further ado, I need your help now, and, besides, you have to assure me that you will never tell Bowman about it." Hans was a little surprised why Tang Cheng came to find him and came in through the back door, but he still maintained his usual calm in front of Tang Cheng. "Listen, I need to borrow your car, and I need an experienced doctor. It's better to be a foreigner like you, and keep a strict mouth, and I'll pay him a lot of money and hush money. ”

Tang Cheng's words immediately made Hans's expression change, and he shook his nose a few times in a row, and Hans faintly smelled a faint smell of blood from Tang Cheng. "You're hurt?" Although the smell of blood on Tang Cheng's body was faint, Hans's expression at the moment was a little ugly. Hearing this, Tang Cheng hurriedly checked his clothes, only to find a blood stain on the back elbow of the sleeve of his left arm.

"It's not me, it's a friend of mine. Oh, don't ask so much, can you help me? Tang Cheng knew that if he said too much, he would lose, so he deliberately interrupted Hans's intention to continue to play and ask questions with some impatience, just urging Hans vigorously. Hans had no choice but to smile wryly and shake his head, then picked up the phone and called a familiar German doctor. With Hans's help, Tang Cheng successfully brought Zhou Hongxiang, who had fallen into a coma, back to his residence, and the German doctor contacted by Hans also quickly rushed over.

After experiencing hemostasis, debridement and wound suturing, Zhou Hong, who was dizzy, was in a coma until noon the next day, when she woke up quietly. For more than ten hours, Zhou Hongxiang has been immersed in boundless darkness, and in the darkness where he can't see his fingers, Zhou Hongxiang struggles hard, like a drowning man trying to catch something. It's just that her struggle didn't get an effect, but aggravated the fall of her body, until Zhou Hongxiang opened her eyes violently with her last strength, and Zhou Hongxiang, who was panting, found that she seemed to be lying on a soft big bed.

"Are you awake? Would you like to eat something first? A voice sounded from the side, Zhou Hongxiang turned his head slightly, and what caught his eye was a young face. It's not his own person, Zhou Hongxiang's eyes shrunk, and he immediately made a judgment in his heart. Zhou Hongxiang's expression at this moment has already been seen by Tang Cheng, no matter who it is, when he suddenly comes to a strange place, his first reaction will always be a little defensive, so Tang Cheng doesn't care about the defensive look in Zhou Hongxiang's eyes.

Tang Cheng never thought of himself as a good person, but he also didn't feel that he was a bad person, at most he admitted that he was just an ordinary person who lived for his family. Raising his eyes and looking at Zhou Hongxiang's heroic eyebrows, Tang Cheng grinned, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, this is my home, you have injuries on your body and need to recuperate." Tang Cheng's warm smile did not make Zhou Hongxiang's vigilance dissipate, carefully move his hands and feet, the sharp pain from the wound made Zhou Hongxiang's face even paler.

Zhou Hongxiang had woken up, Tang Cheng, who happened to be in the room, immediately went out to call the German doctor in, and after a seemingly lock-up examination, Tang Cheng finally got a good news that Zhou Hongxiang, who had woken up, had improved. "Who the hell are you? What is this place? After Tang Cheng sent the German doctor out and returned to the room, Zhou Hongxiang, who had fully regained consciousness, asked Tang Cheng in a weak voice.

"I told you just now, I'm a good person, and this is my home." Tang Cheng, who was standing at the head of the bed, shrugged his shoulders at Zhou Hongxiang, turned around and pulled over a chair, and Tang Cheng Shi Shiran did it at the head of the bed. "If you don't want to, you don't have to say your name, and you don't have to care who I am, just rest assured that you can recuperate here. You're not necessarily safe when you get out of here, and you should know what I mean. ”

Although Tang Cheng had a smile on his face, Zhou Hongxiang obviously saw the warning and persuasion in Tang Cheng's eyes. As if he felt that his tone just now was a little heavy, Tang Cheng sighed lightly and continued to speak to Zhou Hongxiang. "I'm sorry, but when I saw you, there were no living people in that courtyard. I don't have time to collect the bodies of those people who are with you, the Japanese are coming far faster than you think. ”

Zhou Hongxiang, who was fighting spirits, had already begun to be drowsy, but Tang Cheng's last sentence made Zhou Hongxiang's eyes widen, and a trace of flushing appeared on his pale face. "Who the hell are you?" This is the second time that Zhou Hongxiang asked Tang Cheng's identity, and seeing that the other party was a little unreaching, Tang Cheng had no choice but to get up and walk to the table and take a character sketch portrait to Zhou Hongxiang.

"You should know this person, right?" Tang Cheng pointed the portrait to Zhou Hong, and the fleeting movement in the other party's eyes made Tang Cheng very satisfied, and it seemed that his character sketching ability had not regressed. "This person's name was Xu Huanshan when he was in Nanjing, I don't know if this is his real name, but I know that he is a member of the Nanjing underground party, and his position is not low. This man knows me, and he can prove that I am not a bad person, at least not your enemy. Are you satisfied with my answer? ”

"On the day of the destruction of the surveillance point of the Rite High School in the French Concession, was someone ever reminded you to evacuate one of your strongholds?" Seeing that Zhou Hongxiang didn't seem to believe his words, Tang Cheng had no choice but to come up with evidence that could convince the other party more. "The person who reminds you is me, because I happened to find out that this Xu Huanshan also came to Shanghai, and he lived in the alley that was secretly monitored by the special high school." Zhou Hongxiang didn't know about what Tang Cheng said, but the portrait in Tang Cheng's hand was painted by Xu Huanshan, who came to Shanghai under the pseudonym Wang Jinshan to escort supplies.

Although Zhou Hongxiang has woken up, his head is still a little groggy, only based on these two things that Tang Cheng said to himself, Zhou Hongxiang couldn't think that Tang Cheng was a good person, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious again. Little girl, this is pretending to be dizzy with me! Zhou Hongxiang's pretense was seen through by Tang Cheng, but he didn't expose the other party, just sat on the side and waited for Zhou Hongxiang to wake up again.
