Chapter XXXVII

Once every three days, she came to this café called Rose, which Haruko Ikeda had given to her by her teacher Aoki Kamiji before she entered Nanjing under the pseudonym Zhang Qing. There is no problem with the Rose Cafe itself, Zhang Qing comes here once every three days, just to make sure that Zhang Qing has not been exposed. As usual, Haruko Ikeda chose the time period between 2:30 and 3:00 to appear in the Rose Cafe, knowing that her teacher, Aoki Kamiji, would be silently watching and observing herself outside the café.

Infiltrating the city of Nanjing, she was just an ordinary staff member in a movie theater in the city, Haruko Ikeda did not question the arrangement of her superiors, but the obedience that had already been ingrained in her bones made Haruko Ikeda, who felt that there was no place for it, still silently persevered until now. The aroma of the coffee did not dispel the loss in Haruko Ikeda's body, which came from the hesitation and anxiety of losing touch with her teacher.

The gazebo in the park was a point of contact for Haruko Ikeda to receive instructions from her teacher, and this morning, she had left the pavilion empty-handed twice in a row. Is there something wrong with the teacher? Or can't you go to that gazebo for some time? Haruko Ikeda was full of questions at the moment, and the originally fragrant coffee in the cup felt more and more bitter. Haruko Ikeda was slowly sipping coffee at the Rose Café, but Tang Cheng had already slipped into a shoe store across the street, and was listening to the owner's kind recommendation while keeping an eye out for Haruko Ikeda in the café opposite.

Time passed little by little, and Tang Cheng had tried on several pairs of leather shoes in a row, and Haruko Ikeda, who was in the café opposite, instead of showing the slightest impatience, looked more and more leisurely. There must be something wrong with this? Tang Cheng, who had doubts flashing through his mind, first ruled out the possibility that the other party had discovered himself. Since the other party did not find himself, nor did he show his concern for time, and there was no trace of impatience in his expression, this means that the other party is not here to connect with others.

When Tang Cheng was secretly thinking to himself, a familiar face suddenly flashed outside the critical window of the shoe store, "I want this pair of black ones, the money will be given to you, the shoes will be placed here for you first, and I will get them later." Tang Cheng hurriedly took out a roll of banknotes and threw it in the shopkeeper's hand, but after giving an explanation, he immediately left the shoe store and chased south down the street. The face just now, although it was only fleeting, Tang Cheng immediately reacted, and that face appeared in Zuo Ping Weiichiro's memory.

Tang Cheng, who chased out of the shoe store, saw a middle-aged man in a cotton robe at first sight, turning his head to look across the street. Tang Cheng also subconsciously looked across the street from the corner of his eye, and happened to see the street window of the Rose Cafe, and the woman who came out of the movie theater was sitting under the window at the moment. Everything was understood, Tang Cheng was ecstatic in his heart, he finally understood why the woman went straight here when she got out of the movie theater, and dared to love that they were contacted in this way.

Tang Cheng, who already knew that the woman was working in the cinema, immediately used his system skills to lock on to the middle-aged man in front of him, he planned to switch the tracking target, maybe this middle-aged man was a big fish! I have to say that Tang Cheng has always been very lucky, and the middle-aged man he stumbled upon was none other than Haruko Ikeda's teacher, Aoki Kamiji, codenamed Spider. Like Haruko Ikeda, Aoki Kamiji came to Nanjing three months ago, and unlike Haruko Ikeda's mission, Aoki Kamiji also had a secret mission.

Beginning half a year ago, the Nanjing headquarters of the intelligence department became unusually strong, and several intelligence teams stationed in Nanjing by the special high-tech department and the military lost contact one after another, and finally it was confirmed that they were cracked by the Nanjing headquarters of the intelligence department. The Shanghai headquarters of the special high-tech department also sent people to Nanjing to investigate the matter, but the results were also lost like a stone in the sea, which attracted the attention of the Shanghai headquarters of the special high-tech department. On the one hand, it sent Aoki Kamiji to Nanjing to continue the investigation, and on the other hand, through the traitors of the Shanghai Station of the Intelligence Department, assassinated Zhang Jianghe, the special commissioner of the Intelligence Department who went south to Shanghai.

It's just that when Aoki Kamiji came to Nanjing, it was the time when Tang Cheng went south to Shanghai, and Tang Cheng's special investigation team was also broken up by the Intelligence Department and transferred to several substations. Three months passed quickly, but Aoki Kamiji was never able to obtain valuable relevant information, and at this time, another secret mission was handed over to him, and he was a little anxious about this new secret mission in the past few days.

The hamster's early arrest was learned by Aoki Kamiji through an insider, so he immediately cut off contact with his student Haruko Ikeda through that park pavilion, and at this moment, seeing Haruko Ikeda appear in that café as before, Aoki Kamiji finally put his mind at ease. After confirming that Haruko Ikeda was okay, Aoki Kamiji immediately left the street, and although he was already careful, he still did not realize that he had been targeted.

Tang Cheng's level of tracking people can only be regarded as half a bucket of water, but he has a system skill helper, as long as the straight-line distance between him and Aoki Kamiji does not exceed 50 meters, even if there is a building between them, Aoki Kamiji cannot escape the lock of the system skill. To put it simply, with the help of system skills, Tang Cheng wants to track people, it is really not too simple. Tang Cheng, who has a system in hand, is just like those pedestrians on the street, just paying attention to the bustle in the street, and has no interest in even glancing at the target.

In such a state of his, even if the best spy of the special high-tech came here, he would never have imagined that this young man who walked across the street and never looked this way was following him. Aoki Kamiji, who can speak fluent Chinese, has no consciousness of a spy at all, and if it weren't for the memory of Zuoping Weiichiro as a hint, Tang Cheng would not have imagined that this middle-aged man who could skillfully bargain with street vendors would be a Japanese spy.

An hour later, Tang Cheng finally saw that the target had entered a middle school, and after the school ended, Tang Cheng followed the target to a residential area. After confirming the target's place of work and residence, Tang Cheng called a rickshaw to rush to Xinanli Street, and his car was still parked outside the park. "I thought you wouldn't even come to dinner!" Tang Cheng, who was tired, returned to the Zhang family's old house, and what he was waiting for was not to ask for warmth, but to give Zhang Jianghe a lecture.

"It's broken! I really can't eat dinner at home. Tang Cheng, whose butt was not yet hot, wanted to explain his itinerary to Zhang Jianghe today, but suddenly remembered that he had accepted Joseph's invitation, hurriedly explained to Zhang Jianghe, changed his clothes and left immediately. Tang Cheng drove to Joseph's leather goods store, but found that Joseph's leather goods store was closed, and went around the back and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one paid attention.

"This damn Joseph, didn't you forget about me coming to drink every month?" Tang Cheng leaned against the wall and looked into the courtyard for a while, making sure that no one was there, and then he stopped and walked back to the front. After tossing back and forth for such a trip, Tang Cheng didn't even get dinner, thinking about Zhang Jiang and that serious face, Tang Cheng couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and decided to find a random place outside to deal with a few mouthfuls before going home.

Tang Cheng drove back a short distance, and saw a noodle restaurant on the street, and saw a dumpling water sign on the sign at the door of the noodle restaurant, so he suddenly became interested. The noodle shop looks small but very clean, and when Tang Cheng walked into this noodle restaurant, there were only two customers in the noodle restaurant, a man and a woman. When a guest entered the door, the young man in the noodle restaurant immediately came up to greet Tang Cheng with a courteous face, and after Tang Cheng asked about the filling of the dumplings, he asked for a pound of pork dumplings and two plates of marinated cold dishes.

Waiting for the dumplings, Tang Cheng habitually paid attention to the two diners in the noodle restaurant, the pair of men and women obviously came together, and when Tang Cheng entered the door, he heard them talking in a low voice, but after Tang Cheng sat down, the two stopped talking. Tang Cheng was originally just habitually paying attention to the situation in the noodle shop, but he didn't pay much attention to the man and woman, but when he suddenly found that the guy in the noodle shop secretly gave the man and woman a look, he realized that the man and woman and the guy in the noodle shop should also know each other.

Tang Cheng, who found the difference, immediately remained silent, while thinking in his heart about where the man and woman would be, while slowly peeling the garlic cloves. Tang Cheng ordered things quickly, dumplings and marinated cold dishes were quickly sent by the young man, Tang Cheng saw that the young man's figure was not a practiced, so he put all his attention on the pair of men and women. A mouthful of dumplings, a mouthful of garlic, a pound of dumplings and two plates of cold vegetables quickly entered Tang Cheng's stomach, but Tang Cheng did not settle the bill immediately, but asked for another bowl of noodle soup, and drank it slowly in small sips.

A bowl of noodle soup was about to be drunk, and Tang Cheng suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something, this noodle restaurant seemed to have only one young man, but he didn't see the owner of the noodle restaurant. Thinking of this, Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel a loud alarm in his heart, although he hadn't seen anything wrong, but Tang Cheng didn't want to be involved in trouble for no reason. "Dude, check out! Your braised beef tastes good, give me two catties to take away. Tang Cheng immediately took out the banknotes to settle the bill, and did not forget to pack and take away some braised beef, so that he could look more like a diner.

Hearing Tang Cheng shout to settle the bill, the young man and the pair of men and women who were originally worried in their hearts immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they wished that the person who suddenly appeared would leave quickly. Tang Cheng walked out of the noodle shop with the wrapped braised beef, and accidentally bumped into the two people who came to him, the other party didn't care, but Tang Cheng had already faintly changed his complexion. The hard object on the man's waist must have been a pistol! Just a careless touch, Tang Cheng had already concluded that one of the two people just now was carrying a pistol, and then thinking of the weirdness of the pavilion behind him, Tang Cheng felt that things were getting more and more interesting.
