Chapter 104: Rescue
The sudden sound made the alley instantly quiet, and the people in the street immediately turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from, just in time to see the second brick falling on the small stool of Luo Dahai. The small stool that was hit by the brick overturned in response, and the cloth bag that Luo Dahai was sitting under his buttocks before bounced off the small stool and flipped a few times in the air before landing on the cement pavement on the side of the street.
There is an old saying that no book is made without coincidence, which is precisely the confirmation of the small cloth bag that was hit by a brick and then fell heavily on the concrete pavement at this moment. Suddenly, "Smack!" A burst of flames burst out, and with this somewhat suppressed gunshot, Luo Dahai, who was turning over from the side of the street, fell heavily on the side of the street, and a stream of blood arrows sprayed out from his neck. The collection that Luo Dahai put in a cloth bag actually went off fire at this time, and the bullet shot out of the misfire hit Luo Dahai's neck like a dead one.
If the sound of the iron bucket before was not enough to wake up Xu Zixi in the bookstore, then the ensuing gunshots were the best alarm. Hearing the gunshots outside the bookstore, Xu Zixi, who was originally sitting and chatting with customers, immediately got up from his chair and strode to the window facing the street to look out. The shoe repair stall that Luo Dahai used to disguise his identity was not far from the bookstore, and Xu Zixi looked through the window and saw Luo Dahai holding his neck twitching on the opposite street.
The gunshots appeared very suddenly, and Xu Zixi, who was chatting with customers in the bookstore, was also shocked, and through the window of the bookstore facing the street, Xu Zixi saw a man with a felt hat covering his head and face, and was running quickly towards the cobbler who fell on the opposite side of the street. Xu Zixi frowned slightly, at this moment he already vaguely felt that something was not quite right, looking at the man in the felt hat who was kneeling beside the shoemaker, Xu Zixi suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart.
This is not a trivial matter, so Xu Zixi cleverly kept this guest who had been chatting with him for a while, so as not to have a witness who could help him out of the siege when the police came to ask him later. Hearing the sound of gunshots, Tang Cheng, who had already climbed onto the roof at the other end of the alley, was immediately stunned, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Cheng jumped off the roof. Someone shoots at it, and the street in front of it will soon be cordoned off by the police, and if the cobbler is from Zhongtong, then Zhongtong will then come and take over the place. The purpose of reminding himself of the Red Leaf Bookstore has been achieved, and for Tang Cheng, there is no need to continue to stay here.
Tang Cheng didn't expect things to be so coincidental, the purpose of throwing bricks was more to verify the identity of the shoemaker, but he didn't expect that it would be so coincidental to let the other party's pistol go off. Tang Cheng quickly left the street, and after continuously entering the alley, Tang Cheng appeared not far from his home. The matter outside the Red Leaf Bookstore, Tang Cheng has left it behind at the moment, and he has already done his best, if Xu Zixi can't wake up yet, it can only be regarded as his own bad luck.
When Tang Cheng returned home, the eldest sister Tang Juan immediately brought a telegram, which was sent by Zhang Xin from Chongqing, saying that Ma Ye had taken people out of Chongqing, and indicating the time when Ma Ye and his party arrived in Nanjing. Tang Cheng did not hesitate at all, and immediately called Bai Zhanshan and asked the other party to help book a ticket to go south to Chongqing in five days. "16 tickets? Are there so many of you? Bai Zhanshan on the other end of the phone was a little hesitant, how many people there were in Tang Cheng's family, Bai Zhanshan couldn't know better.
"Uncle Bai, don't ask so much, there are a few friends who are going south, and they will escort us along the road by the way." Tang Cheng didn't want to explain too much to Bai Zhanshan, because among the 16 tickets, four of them belonged to Zhang Jiang and his family, and Tang Cheng was going to take them south to Chongqing with them. Tang Cheng refused to answer this question, and Bai Zhanshan was not easy to ask on the phone, so he had to agree. Tang Cheng was at home all afternoon, helping his mother sort out her collection of books and trinkets, and it wasn't until after dinner that Tang Cheng went out again and went straight to the Red Leaf Bookstore.
Tang Cheng, who was careful all the way, circled several times in a row, and after confirming that no one was following him, he entered the street where the Red Leaf Bookstore was located. The traces of the day had obviously been cleared, and the place where the cobbler had stayed was empty, except that when Tang Cheng walked by, he could still vaguely smell some blood in the air. Standing in Tang Cheng's position at this moment and looking diagonally opposite, there was the Red Leaf Bookstore, but to Tang Cheng's surprise, the Red Leaf Bookstore was still lit up.
There are lights in the bookstore, which means that there are people inside, but Tang Cheng doesn't know if it is Xu Zixi in the bookstore. After thinking about it for a while, Tang Cheng immediately turned around and left in a big stride, and with about a cigarette, Tang Cheng used the night as a cover and quietly moved to the alley behind the Red Leaf Bookstore. Gently twisting the ring on the tail finger of his right hand, Tang Cheng, who used the light body skill, just jumped up, his hands were already climbing the eaves, and with another pull-up and rolling his body, Tang Cheng appeared on the roof of the Red Leaf Bookstore like a tanuki.
Stepping on the roof and slowly moving forward, Tang Cheng moved to the side of the roof chimney, the roof has no skylight and air holes, and Tang Cheng can only judge how many people are in the bookstore through the chimney on the roof at this moment. When someone in the bookstore speaks, the sound will be transmitted down the chimney to Tang Cheng's ears, but this sound is not very clear, and Tang Cheng can only judge the number of people in the bookstore based on this.
Tang Cheng sat quietly behind the chimney, listening intently to the faint sound coming from the chimney, and soon, a quarter of an hour had passed, but Tang Cheng still had no way to determine the number of people in the bookstore at this moment. However, Tang Cheng can be sure that there will be no less than three people in the bookstore, and one of them is Xu Zixi, whom he knows. Just as Tang Cheng was squatting on the roof and hesitating whether he wanted to go down, he suddenly heard the roar of a motor in his ears, and two black cars suddenly appeared in the street where the Red Leaf Bookstore was located.
Tang Cheng immediately opened the triple eyepiece, a triple eyepiece with night vision function, so that Tang Cheng, who was condescending on the roof, could quickly see the two faces in the front seat of the first black car. These two faces no longer looked young, but they both had serious looking expressions, especially the one sitting in the co-pilot, who was making a gesture of pulling the sleeve of the pistol at the moment. Tang Cheng was shocked, the person with a gun who wore a dark tunic at night was a person from the middle of the country.
At this moment, Tang Cheng couldn't help but secretly scold Xu Zixi in his heart, saying that the heart of this product was too big, and he didn't react to his warning at noon. But scolding and scolding, Tang Cheng couldn't sit back and watch Xu Zixi being taken away by the people of the Central Union, but in his eagerness, Tang Cheng hadn't thought about how he should help. With the screeching sound of brakes, two cars speeding from the street stopped outside the Red Leaf Bookstore, and several sturdy men who were also wearing Mao suits jumped out of the cars.
"Smack... Xu Zixi and the others, who had just reacted, were not slow, and when the other party stepped on the steps outside the bookstore, they shot first outside the bookstore, but both shots were missed. The gunshots rang out, and there was a panic inside and outside the bookstore, but Tang Cheng still squatted in place and did not move. There was a faint sound of hurried footsteps in the alley behind him, and Tang Cheng on the roof had to take out the shell gun with *** from his equipment bag, and lowered his body with a crab-like pace, and moved towards the back of the roof with an ugly and fast look.
Using a triple eyepiece, the night had no effect on Tang Cheng, so he quickly saw who appeared in the back alley. The three people who appeared in the back alley were all dressed up like those in the car, and Tang Cheng knew that they should also be from Zhongtong. Since he was arranged to guard the back road, Tang Cheng didn't have to have any scruples, and without waiting for the three of them to take a ladder to climb the roof, the condescending Tang Cheng just pulled the trigger, and after three soft sounds of "poof, poof", there were three more corpses in the dark back alley.
The shootout in front of the bookstore continued, and Tang Cheng, who had successfully solved the trouble in the back alley, returned to the position he had just placed just now. "Pisces, I know it's you inside, and this place has long been surrounded by our central government. We have dealt with each other many times, you should know the style of doing things in our Zhongtong, as long as you come out and surrender, I will guarantee you to eat and drink spicy, and high-ranking officials have to do it, and beautiful women are in your arms!" A slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded outside the main entrance of the bookstore.
The people in the bookstore didn't respond, and even Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the roof of the bookstore, pouted secretly, saying that these people were too uninnovative when they surrendered, how could they be the same as in film and television dramas, they would only say things like glory, wealth, beauty, and high-ranking officials! The originally dense gunfire was thinned out by the appearance of this sound, and Tang Cheng on the roof listened carefully, and found that most of the remaining gunshots came from the bookstore.
It seems that the people in the bookstore are planning to resist to the end, Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the roof, couldn't help but nod secretly, saying in his heart that these people in the underground party can indeed be regarded as death. Then I'll help you! Tang Cheng, who was secretly pouting, flipped his wrist, and then took out the two wooden handles that he had secretly taken out from the equipment bag. Look at the master to give you a big one! Tang Cheng, who was secretly laughing like a chicken thief on the roof, raised his hand and threw a hand ** from the roof.
The smoky hand ** fell from the roof, waiting for it to land on the ground behind one of the cars, and the agents of the Central Union, who had originally used the car body as a cover, finally screamed. "Hand **!" A sharp voice suddenly sounded, and then the next moment it was drowned in the explosion, but Tang Cheng took advantage of the chaos at this moment and threw his other hand ** off the roof.
