Chapter 40: A New Mission
Like Hans, Huang Zengcheng, who has been engaged in intelligence work for a long time, will not easily trust Tang Cheng, even if Tang Cheng takes the initiative to throw him a shell gun and two magazines, but Huang Zengcheng's eyes obviously reveal a trace of defense. Tang Cheng didn't care about Huang Zengcheng's reaction, the most important thing now was how the two of them left this café safely. "If you can give me another hundred dollars, I'll tell you... How to get out of here. The café waiter, who was originally hiding behind the counter like a quail, suddenly poked his head out and said to Tang Cheng at this time.
The waitress's words made Tang Cheng grin suddenly, what could be solved with money was not a matter at all in Tang Cheng's eyes. The road pointed out by the waitress for Tang Cheng and the two was actually the toilet of the half-corner café, looking at the toilet window closed by iron bars, only two screws under the window need to be removed, and the seemingly sturdy iron bar mesh window immediately becomes a movable window that can be lifted upwards. "You go first, go out and go to the left, and I'll be behind you."
After removing the screws under the window with a short knife, Tang Cheng did not waste much time, and immediately lifted the window with one hand, signaling Huang Zengcheng, who had been on guard against him, to go first. Huang Zengcheng only hesitated slightly, and Tang Cheng immediately stepped on the stool under the window, and a harrier rolled over and climbed out of the toilet window. The fact that the few plainclothes spies who were killed were able to appear in advance at the half-corner café can only show that the special high school has insight into the action of meeting Tang Cheng at Shanghai Station, and according to Tang Cheng's understanding of the special high class, there must have been an ambush for them outside the half-corner café.
When the plainclothes outside the café heard the gunshots, they must have understood that their actions had been exposed, and if they had to leave in a hurry, once the plainclothes agents outside the café rushed in, no one would be able to leave. Although Huang Zengcheng was from Shanghai Station, and Tang Cheng took the initiative to help just now, Tang Cheng didn't feel the need to accompany Huang Zengcheng to die here. Huang Zengcheng didn't expect Tang Cheng to look young, but act so simply, he just hesitated slightly, and the other party left first.
Tang Cheng's preemptive departure made Huang Zengcheng no longer hesitate, but he didn't have the skills of Tang Cheng, when he turned the window, if he hadn't been picked up by Tang Cheng outside, maybe Huang Zengcheng would have been able to fall headfirst through the window and gnaw mud. "Keep going forward, turn left when you get out, and I'll be right behind you." Waiting for Huang Zengcheng's feet to land, Tang Cheng did not choose to walk with Huang Zengcheng, but followed behind Huang Zengcheng a few meters behind.
The plainclothes agents of the special high school outside the half-corner café suddenly heard gunshots coming from the café, and they were naturally shocked, and someone immediately took out a pistol and ran towards the café. The sound of gunfire indicates that there has been an exchange of fire inside the café, so the plainclothes agents outside the café do not dare to act rashly, at least until the situation is clear. But they didn't expect that in such a short pause, the person who shot in the café had disappeared without a trace.
The four companions who had entered the café had turned into corpses and were lying in pools of blood, while the others in the café had said that they had not seen anything, let alone where the shooter had gone. Naturally, the people in the extra high class were not so easy to coax, and they soon discovered the mystery in the window of the café toilet, especially when they entered the café toilet, there was a stool under the window.
The waitress who took the money from Tang Cheng's hand, because she was a blonde and blue-eyed foreigner, even if the Concession Patrol House sent someone to the Banjiao Cafe, there was nothing she could do about such a waitress who refused to say anything. Finding that there were no shooters in the café, the plainclothes of the special high school who rushed into the café immediately split in two, a few people stayed in the café to look for clues, and most of them left the café and searched the surrounding streets in an attempt to find the shooters who had fled the café.
Besides, Tang Cheng and the others, until they both entered another street, they didn't find anyone chasing behind them, not to mention Tang Cheng, even Huang Zengcheng felt strange. Tang Cheng followed Huang Zengcheng around and around, and finally entered a restaurant on the street, there were not many people in the restaurant, so it was just convenient for the two to sit down and have a good chat. "Let's talk about it! What is it about publishing a missing person notice in the newspaper to find me? Tang Cheng felt that Huang Zengcheng was a ** annoyance, so he didn't want to waste time, so he went straight to the point after sitting down.
Huang Zengcheng didn't think much of Tang Cheng's attitude, and from Tang Cheng's lack of mud and water when he opened the window just now, Huang Zengcheng could see that Tang Cheng was a decisive person. Tang Cheng acted decisively, Huang Zengcheng was not a person who liked to talk boringly, since Tang Cheng could accurately say the code words of the joint, Huang Zengcheng took out a paper roll from his collar and handed it to Tang Cheng. "This is an order from the headquarters, if you need help from our Shanghai station, just ask for it." Huang Zengcheng's words sounded nothing, but in Tang Cheng's ears, it meant something else.
Tang Cheng, who was about to open the scroll of paper, squinted his eyes and laughed, "Listening to what you say, how do you seem to be doing me a favor from your Shanghai station!" It is said that you are intelligence officers stationed in Shanghai, and even if the headquarters assigns a task, it should be completed by you. Listen, I'm not from your military command, and I came to Shanghai just because of my elders. So, you listen, you and I haven't seen it today, what to do, that's my business. As he spoke, Tang Cheng had already gotten up and stood up.
Huang Zengcheng's expression was a little unsightly, and anyone who was lectured by a young man in front of him would not feel good in his heart. But Tang Cheng didn't give him a chance to speak, he had already got up and stood up, and before turning to leave, Tang Cheng deliberately tapped the table with his knuckles. "If I'm not mistaken, this matter should have been handed over to you Shanghai Station to execute. It's a pity that the execution ability of your Shanghai station is too poor, and the headquarters will hand it over to me by name, if I were you, I would have been ashamed that I wouldn't even be able to eat. ”
Tang Cheng said this, which can be regarded as excessive, and when he walked out of the door of the restaurant, he deliberately made a fat gesture at Huang Zengcheng to describe Huang Zengcheng's slightly obese figure. Huang Zengcheng was angry in his heart, but Tang Cheng had already left, and even if there was fire in his heart, there was no place to vent it. Tang Cheng, who walked out of the restaurant, put the paper roll that Huang Zengcheng handed over to him into his personal equipment bag, although he had not read the content of the note, Tang Cheng knew that the task transferred to him by the Military Command Headquarters through the Shanghai Station must be an extremely difficult matter.
Sure enough, as soon as Tang Cheng sat down in a café on the other street, he immediately retrieved the paper roll from his gear bag. After reading the contents of the paper scroll, Tang Cheng secretly gritted his back molars, and said in his heart that those big men in the military command headquarters must feel that they are superhumans! Tang Cheng had attacked many Japanese officers in Shanghai before, but among those Japanese officers, the highest rank was only a lieutenant, and the military command headquarters asked Tang Cheng to assassinate a Japanese major general in Shanghai this time.
Tang Cheng refused the help of the Shanghai station in front of Huang Zengcheng, so he only had the name of the Japanese major general and the number of the unit to which he belonged, specific relevant information and photos of the target, but Tang Cheng knew nothing. The assassination order came from the Military Command Headquarters, and Tang Cheng knew that he had no possibility of refusing, and if he refused, Zhang Jianghe might be embarrassed by the Military Command Headquarters. Once something happens to Zhang Jianghe, it will be difficult for the Tang family, who has lost Zhang Jianghe's support, to gain a foothold in Chongqing.
Tang Cheng sat in the café for a while, but decided to go to Hans for help, at least through Hans's channels, to get the relevant information and photos of the Japanese major general. "Don, you're getting bolder, this Yokomoto Ichiro is a Japanese major general. If you kill him, the Japanese will definitely launch a city-wide search, and you will definitely not be able to escape then. When Tang Cheng took out the name on the scroll, Hans already knew what Tang Cheng wanted to do, he didn't doubt Tang Cheng's ability, he was just worried about trouble afterwards.
"That's something I need to worry about, you just need to help me inquire about the relevant news, that is, you don't have to give me the money for the medicine, just treat it as the money for me to buy intelligence and weapons." Tang Cheng didn't be polite to Hans, but he didn't let Hans suffer either, and the money he had to give to Tang Cheng for those medicines was enough to make Hans secretly happy. Tang Cheng didn't explain why he had to do this, and Hans didn't ask much, but he could see that Tang Cheng was somewhat impatient.
What happened in the half-corner café made the Shanghai special high school very annoyed, but they did not have more detailed clues in their hands. Because Huang Zengcheng, who escaped by chance, had already informed his superiors of Tang Cheng's suspicions, Shanghai Station secretly launched a self-examination, and soon found out the traitor hiding among them. Without the traitor who provided the information, the special high school would be blind to the next move of the Shanghai station, and it would be even more impossible to obtain information related to Tang Cheng.
But this is Shanghai, and Shanghai is currently within the control of the Japanese army, so it can be regarded as the home of the special high class, not to mention that there are many concession gangsters as helpers. While Hans was helping to find relevant intelligence and information, the Shanghai Special High School launched a new round of encirclement, suppression, and arrest against the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and in just two days, several strongholds in the concession of the Shanghai Station were continuously destroyed, and there were also large losses in personnel.
The situation in the concession had changed, and Tang Cheng had learned about it through Hans, but he didn't pay attention to it because he had more important things to do. "I said in the inner line of the military police headquarters that this general Hengyuan had arrived in Shanghai two days ago. According to the itinerary, General Yokomoto will leave Shanghai in three days, so if you want to assassinate this General Yokomoto, you don't have much time left. ”
