A jug of gasoline was poured on the unconscious trading company manager and on the walls of the desks and chairs in the office, and before Tang Cheng left the manager's room, a finger-thick piece of sandalwood was lit by Tang Cheng and inserted into the table full of gasoline. According to the results of many experiments in Karashiro, the sandalwood can burn for about a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, the sandalwood burned to the end will ignite the gasoline on the table, which in turn will cause a fire that will reduce the small building of the Kanto Trading Company to ashes.

In order not to let the plan fall through, Tang Cheng also poured gasoline on the corridor and the first floor of the small building, and finally locked the main entrance of the small building very intimately. According to the route when he came in, Tang Cheng, who had gained a lot, still climbed over the wall and left, but he did not return to his residence immediately, but went to another place. After a busy night, Tang Cheng did not quietly return to his residence until after the early hours of the morning, and he was forcibly woken up by Hans early the next morning.

"Did you do it?" Hans, with bloodshot eyes in his eyes, spoke in a hoarse voice. The sleepy-eyed Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, but did not answer Hans immediately, after Hans asked for the second time, Tang Cheng opened his mouth and yawned, and got off the bed, and then looked at Hans very dissatisfied, saying that he did not understand what Hans meant. "Damn, I'm asking you, two Japanese trading houses in the concession were burgled and set on fire last night, did you do this?"

Tang Cheng shrugged his shoulders at Hans when he heard this, and replied with a depressed face, "Hans, we are friends, since we are friends, you can't plant inexplicable things on me." What's more, which eye do you see that I did what you said? Is it because I was out last night? Do you think this is proof? I wasn't the only one who went out last night, so why don't you suspect anyone? After Tang Cheng washed up, he wrapped himself in his pajamas and went downstairs, while Hans followed closely behind him.

"Edmund, Mr. Hans has eaten it at first sight, so there is no need to prepare breakfast for him!" Tang Cheng, who was only wearing pajamas, sat down at the dining table, and when he saw that Edmund had brought two breakfasts, Tang Cheng glanced at Hans, and the words that came out of his mouth embarrassed Hans, who had already sat down at the table. Edmund, who brought breakfast, was also a little overwhelmed by Tang Cheng's words, but after being slightly stunned, he still placed breakfast in front of Tang Cheng and the two of them under Hans's hint, and then fled the restaurant quickly.

"Well, Mary's craftsmanship is getting better and better, especially this omelette!" Hans watched as he deliberately gulped the fried egg on the plate, and his triumphant face made Tang Cheng, who had a straight face, finally couldn't hold back his laughter. Seeing this, Hans's face softened, "Don, tell me honestly, does what happened last night have anything to do with you?" I'm not kidding you, the impact of this matter is very bad, and the Ministry of Industry of the Concession is ready to investigate it strictly. ”

Tang Cheng's expression didn't change in the slightest, he just stopped what he was doing and looked at Hans, "Hans, we are friends, do you want me to do what happened last night?" Tang Cheng did not answer Hans explicitly, but used a rhetorical question, which made Hans's anger in his chest a little stronger. Seeing Hans's angry expression, Tang Chao suddenly grinned, "I went to Jiaozhou Park last night, where do I have time to do the things you said." ”

As soon as Tang Cheng said this, Hans woke up, Tang Cheng told himself that he wanted to rescue the lonely army camp, and he must have gone to Jiaozhou Park to observe the terrain. If Tang Cheng went to Jiaozhou Park last night to check the terrain, then the two burglaries in the concession last night may really have nothing to do with him. Seeing Tang Cheng's expression at the moment, it didn't look like he was joking, Hans secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, he didn't bite to death just now because Tang Cheng did it.

Hans's secretly relieved appearance made Tang Cheng smile secretly in his heart, and at the same time, he was more vigilant about Hans, although there was no evidence that he did what happened last night, but according to Hans's understanding of himself, this thing will still doubt himself sooner or later. After breakfast, Hans took his leave, and Tang Cheng left the residence with him, knowing that Hans still hadn't completely dispelled his doubts about himself, so he had to set aside time and opportunity for Edmund to rummage through the basement.

In the apartment where medicine and surgical instruments were hidden last time, Tang Cheng carefully cocked a piece of the floor with a short knife, and temporarily hid the gold bars and the ocean he had stolen last night in the dark compartment in the corner of the apartment house. Hans didn't know about this apartment house, and even if these gold bars and the ocean were taken away by the Shanghai underground party, Tang Cheng would not feel pity. The robbery of two Japanese trading houses last night was enough to support the rescue of the lone army camp, but Tang Cheng had no intention of stopping, because he was about to deal with the Zodiac Society.

The headquarters of the Zodiac Society was in the area controlled by the Japanese army, and as for how to safely enter and exit the area controlled by the Japanese army, Tang Cheng had already made a plan. The fake identity that Tang Cheng used in Shanghai last year has not yet been revealed, and as a Japanese expatriate living in China, there is naturally no problem in entering and leaving the Japanese-controlled area in such a chaotic situation. Last night's two operations were naturally part of the Tangcheng plan, and if the Japanese in the concession could not be chaotic, it would not be as convenient for him to enter and exit the Japanese-controlled area as this.

At lunchtime, Tang Cheng, who had changed his outfit, had already appeared in Hongkou District. What happened in the concession last night caused many Japanese expatriates who originally lived in the concession to return to Hongkou District today to avoid trouble, and Tang Cheng, who was mixed in with them, looked normal. Tang Cheng, who occupies the advantage of age and can speak fluent Japanese, has not attracted the attention of people in Hongkou District. Compared with the concession, there was a jubilant scene in Hongkou District, because the Japanese army was attacking like a rainbow, and all the Japanese felt that it was no longer difficult to occupy China.

Standing on the streets of Hongkou District, Tang Cheng looked at the Japanese expatriates in front of him with a smug face, but what he thought about was how to teach the Japanese a lesson. After a brief lunch, Tang Cheng, who returned to the hotel, began to prepare, he already knew the location of the Zodiac Headquarters New Asia Hotel, and tonight was the day when Tang Cheng launched an operation against the Zodiac Society. After sorting out the weapons and equipment that will be used tonight, Tang Cheng closed his eyes and waited for the night to come, time passed little by little, and Tang Cheng's mental state was adjusted to the best state little by little.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the other side of the Suzhou Creek was already a prosperous image, but the side of the Suzhou Creek controlled by the Japanese army was already dark. Tang Cheng, who had already surveyed the route and terrain, sneaked out of the back window of the second floor of the hotel at this time, and quickly moved in the direction of the New Asia Hotel under the cover of night and street shadows. The weapon Tang Cheng used tonight was a Mauser fast and slow machine submachine pistol with a *** support, and a ***.

In the factory workshop of Little York, Tang Cheng not only made some small bits and pieces that he had to use, but also made a steel ** for this Mauser fast and slow machine submachine pistol. Although the Mauser submachine pistol with ** is a little lacking in balance, but under Tang Cheng's strong control, this Mauser submachine pistol with ** can fully exert a power similar to *** and an ultra-high rate of fire.

Half an hour later, Tang Cheng appeared not far from the New Asia Hotel, and saw the Japanese officers coming and going from time to time in the New Asia Hotel from a distance, Tang Cheng's brows furrowed slightly. Seeing the appearance of the New Asia Hotel, Tang Cheng knew that it might be impossible for him to sneak in through the main entrance, and after a little thought, Tang Cheng changed his original plan, and directly passed through the Tang City on the street, and appeared in the back alley of the New Asia Hotel after avoiding two groups of Japanese police patrols in a row.

Standing in the dim back alley, Tang Cheng looked up at the back wall of the New Asia Hotel that showed up the light, and the laughter from the New Asia Hotel could still be faintly heard in the air. Tang Cheng pursed his lips, then climbed the low wall in the back alley, and after seeing the situation in the backyard of the New Asia Hotel clearly, Tang Cheng quietly climbed down the wall, and then quickly moved to the back door of the New Asia Hotel along the shadow under the wall. Tang Cheng didn't intend to enter through the back door, but he looked inside through the window, moved a section to the left, and then broke the glass and jumped into the empty room.

Tang Cheng didn't delay much in the empty room, but when he came out of the house, he had changed into a Japanese military uniform, and as for the beard on his chin and the scar on his face, it was naturally Tang Cheng's disguise. The New Asia Hotel was already inhabited by many Japanese expatriates and military officers, and the downstairs up to the 2nd floor of Tangcheng naturally did not attract attention, and the Japanese people encountered along the road were also enthusiastic about Tangcheng, and some even took the initiative to bow and make way.

The headquarters of the Zodiac Society is in the New Asia Hotel, relying on the support of the Japanese, the Zodiac Society swelled rapidly, and with the increase in the number of Zodiac Members, the sixth and seventh floors of the New Asia Hotel were almost used by the Zodiac Society. Tang Cheng was dressed as a Japanese officer, and there was a faint smell of blood on his body, which looked like he had just returned from the front line, so Tang Cheng went all the way up the stairs to the sixth floor with a straight face, and no one dared to stop Tang Cheng from the people he met along the way.

Standing at the corner of the stairs on the sixth floor, Tang Cheng, who had a short knife hidden in his right sleeve, leaned his head sideways to look at the situation in the corridor. The Zodiac Society, which had the support of the Japanese army, spent most of its time in accordance with the instructions of the Japanese army, looking for the so-called rebels in the concession and the areas controlled by the Japanese army, but at other times, the Zodiac Society was not idle, and they kidnapped and ransom on a large scale, as long as the rich people targeted by the Zodiac Society generally could not escape.

Tang Cheng came by chance tonight, and it happened that the people of the Zodiac Society were extorting the meat tickets they had tied back, and at this moment, there were several people from the Zodiac Society standing in the corridor on the sixth floor watching the excitement at the door. "Hey... How many of you... What are you doing here? Tang Cheng, who was wearing a military shirt, suddenly walked out from the corner of the stairs, and when he got closer, these people from the Zodiac Society in the corridor could already smell the strong smell of wine on Tang Cheng's body.
