Chapter 39: Unexpected
Finally, in Tang Cheng's patient waiting, the man in a long shirt who was drinking tea alone in the teahouse appeared at the door of the teahouse with the black briefcase. "Captain, the target is out, and the bag is still there." Lao Fu, who was already looking forward to it, immediately became excited, and the target came out of the teahouse, which meant that they were likely to follow the target to find each other's foothold. Standing at the door of the teahouse, glancing left and right with a natural expression, the man in the long shirt walked straight towards the street entrance on the left side of the teahouse.
The man in the long shirt who came out of the teahouse, and the next performance, even Tang Cheng felt a little inexplicable, because the direction of the man in the long shirt at the moment was the direction of the dock, could it be that he was going back to the dock? He faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't find the flaws of the other party, so Tang Cheng had to take Lao Fu and fall far behind the tracking team, and watched the man in the long shirt get on the boat and leave the dock.
"Captain, are we just watching the target leave? It's better to arrest it and try it for the first trial, if there is really no problem, let it go, it's better than letting it go! Lao Fu was unwilling, but Tang Cheng didn't speak immediately, just quietly watched the boat that the man in the long shirt boarded. After a while, Tang Cheng suddenly turned his head to look at Lao Fu, Tang Cheng seemed to have something to say, which made Lao Fu nervous, but Tang Cheng just opened his mouth dryly, but didn't say anything.
Tang Cheng's reaction was so strange that Lao Fu was confused, but when he saw the direction of Tang Cheng's finger at this moment, he suddenly realized. "Woman! The woman who appeared at the docks before! The woman Lao Fu mentioned was the young woman who had just appeared on the dock and exchanged bags with him. Lao Fu arranged for two teams to follow the young woman, but so far, no news has been heard from the two tracking teams.
Seeing that Lao Fu finally understood what he meant, Tang Cheng lowered his arm, "I suspect that the young woman who exchanged bags before is the person who the target wants to meet." The target then took us around in circles, and then went to the teahouse, all deliberately stalling for time to get the young woman out of our sight safely. Tang Cheng looked down at his watch, then looked up and chuckled at Lao Fu. There has been no news back for so long, and I believe that the young woman has already dumped our people. ”
These tracking groups of the search team are almost all ordinary people who can't see the slightest bit of military and police breath on their bodies, and it is still difficult to get rid of these natives. But Tang Cheng's judgment was not wrong, the two tracking teams sent by Lao Fu to follow the young woman, and in the next hour, both teams returned to the dock one after another, and they did lose the young woman.
"Forget it, one failure doesn't mean anything!" The tracking team that lost the target was depressed, and Tang Cheng spoke out. "This time the other party came prepared, and the man in the long shirt is a master, the other party is likely to have discovered us as soon as he came ashore, if you want to say wrong, it is also the mistake of my captain. As long as the woman is still in the city, she will always show up, which means that we still have a chance to find her. ”
When Tang Cheng returned to the barracks, he learned that Bai Zhanshan had come to Chongqing again, and among the people who came to Chongqing from the Military Command Headquarters this time, Bai Zhanshan was the leader. "Uncle Bai, congratulations! Maybe if you go back this time, you'll be promoted! Tang Cheng didn't know the purpose of Bai Zhanshan's coming to Chongqing, and seeing Zhang Jianghe's contemplative look at the moment, he first made fun of Bai Zhanshan, but Tang Cheng didn't care if Bai Zhanshan was actually promoted.
After Tang Cheng accompanied Bai Zhanshan to greet him for a while, Zhang Jianghe finally spoke, "Your Uncle Bai came to Chongqing this time for Wang Sanxi's business, and the intention of the headquarters is to take over the entire line." Zhang Jianghe did not do foreshadowing, but went straight to the point and explained to Tang Cheng the purpose of Bai Zhanshan's visit to Chongqing this time. Zhang Jianghe doesn't attach much importance to money, what he cares about is the attitude of the military command headquarters.
"Xiao Wu, the headquarters means that Wang Sanxi's group is in Myanmar, and there are many aspects involved. Whether it is manpower or material resources, the headquarters is more suitable for doing this than Chongqing Station. Bai Zhanshan's attitude was very kind, but Tang Cheng knew that Bai Zhanshan must have something unspoken. Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't speak, Bai Zhanshan knew that what he said just now didn't work, and after a slight groan in his heart, Bai Zhanshan had no choice but to continue to speak.
"Little Five! Wang Sanxi's matter, the headquarters must take over. But when I came, the bureau told me that Wang Sanxi would definitely compensate you for this. Bai Zhanshan sat beside Tang Cheng, although he didn't think so, he was still patient and told Tang Cheng the meaning of the military headquarters. Tang Cheng just smiled secretly in his heart when he heard this, and then looked at Zhang Jianghe's expression, obviously he didn't believe Bai Zhanshan.
"Uncle Bai, Wang Sanxi, those people are still in the city. Since you are here on behalf of the headquarters, it is better to go and meet Wang Sanxi first, and after you meet Wang Sanxi, let's talk about my matter. Bai Zhanshan originally thought that Tang Cheng would hide that Wang Sanxi and use this to negotiate terms with him, but he didn't expect that Tang Cheng would take himself to meet Wang Sanxi as soon as he opened his mouth, which was out of Bai Zhanshan's previous judgment.
Bai Zhanshan didn't expect it, and Zhang Jianghe naturally didn't think of it, but looking at Tang Cheng's expression at the moment, it didn't seem like he was talking back. Bai Zhanshan glanced at Zhang Jianghe, and when he saw that Zhang Jianghe didn't want to say anything, he could only continue to talk to Tang Cheng. "Little Wu, Uncle Bai knows about this, and what the headquarters is doing is not authentic. But you must know that the arms can't twist the thighs, and there are some things that we just know in our hearts. ”
"Uncle Bai, I don't understand what you say!" Tang Cheng smiled secretly in his heart, but he couldn't see the slightest difference in his expression. "Since I told the stationmaster Yu about Wang Sanxi's matter, it means that I am not prepared to seek personal gain for myself from this matter! And so far, I have only left Wang Sanxi and them in the city, but I have not talked to them about the smuggling route. I'm just a little sheriff, Wang Sanxi's matter, it's not good for me to participate more. ”
Tang Cheng was very self-aware, but the more he was like this, the more strange Bai Zhanshan's expression became. Before leaving the Military Command Headquarters, Bai Zhanshan knew that the bigwigs in the headquarters had held several meetings on how to deal with Zhang Jiang and his uncle and nephew. Before coming, the headquarters had already informed Bai Zhanshan of its attitude, in principle, the headquarters was to take over Wang Sanxi in an all-round way, but it was not a little benefit not to Zhang Jiang and his uncle and nephew.
The reason why Bai Zhanshan didn't say the final decision of the General Headquarters was that he just wanted to buy it in Zhangjiang and here, and let Tang Cheng take his favor by the way. But he didn't expect that Tang Cheng's reaction and performance were fundamentally different from what he thought before. Although Zhang Jianghe didn't speak, he had been paying attention to Bai Zhanshan's expression and reaction, he had known Bai Zhanshan for so many years, how could he not know that Bai Zhanshan had no ability to hide things at all.
"Uncle Bai, do you think I sent you directly to the hotel to see Wang Sanxi and them? Or bring them here to meet? "Tang Cheng didn't seem to see Bai Zhanshan's true intentions, and just continued to say according to his own meaning." Wang Sanxi and these people were originally from the Yunnan army, but later because they offended their bosses, they fled abroad in a gang. The local natives on the Burmese side were bullied, and the British may have taken a fancy to their mines, so they thought about buying arms for their own protection. ”
Tang Cheng did not introduce these situations out of good intentions, and he did not say his intentions. "People from the Dian Army?" In Yu Haiguang's report on going to the military headquarters, there was no detailed information about Wang Sanxi, and at this moment, when he heard Tang Cheng say that Wang Sanxi and they were all from the Yunnan army, Bai Zhanshan's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of someone. "Wang Sanxi, they are from the Dian army, that's easy to do! When I was in Chengdu, I knew a lot of people from the former Dian army. If someone from the Dian army is involved in this matter, do you say this Wang Sanxi, will it..."
Bai Zhanshan originally wanted to say that if the Dian army was involved, Wang Sanxi might be more able to agree to cooperate, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tang Cheng's words. "Uncle Bai, there's something wrong with your idea! Smuggling is not a righteous and bright thing, and Wang Sanxi and they are all deserters of the Yunnan army, how can you think of pulling people from the Yunnan army into the gang? Don't say it's Wang Sanxi, I don't agree to do this! ”
"Smuggling, I just don't want to be known to many people, and neither can the people of the Dian Army!" Zhang Jianghe, who did not speak, finally understood Tang Cheng's intentions at this moment, and when he spoke, Bai Zhanshan naturally did not open his mouth to refute. "Xiao Wu, you send someone to the hotel and take that Wang Sanxi over, and we will meet here. Since Lao Bai, you are here on behalf of the headquarters, there are some things, you might as well talk about them here. ”
Zhang Jianghe spoke, Tang Cheng naturally had to actively cooperate, and he immediately arranged for someone to pick up Wang Sanxi. In about half an hour, the people arranged by Tang Cheng picked up Wang Sanxi from the hotel and brought him to the barracks. "Judging by your appearance, you should know here, then I won't talk about anything else, the military command headquarters has sent someone here, and you can put forward any conditions for cooperation."
The last time he met Wang Sanxi in the hotel, Tang Cheng had already expressed his relationship with the military commander, and Tang Cheng also said to his face that if he agreed to cooperate, Wang Sanxi could only choose to cooperate with the military commander. Wang Sanxi and they can gain a foothold in Myanmar, naturally they are not ordinary people, after meeting Tang Cheng, they secretly investigated Tang Cheng, so Wang Sanxi did not show surprise at Tang Cheng's words.
