Inky clouds shrouded the entire sky, just like the gods in the sky who got drunk and accidentally knocked over the inkstone, splashing a pool of ink on the earth, plunging the entire city into darkness. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky and tore through the black curtain, drawing a ray of light, and then a thunderclap struck down in a thrilling manner, and the downpour poured down, as if the heavenly river had broken down. The wind and rain mingled together, enveloping everything in it, and letting the storm and lightning and thunder rage overhead.

In a street shrouded in high winds and torrential rain, a black sedan staggered around the corner in the storm. The windshield wipers scraped the rain back and forth from the windows, but the driver's vision was still greatly affected, so the speed of the car was always very slow. In such weather, no one haunts the street at all, and this sedan traveling in the rain immediately became the object of attention of the idlers in the many buildings on both sides of the street.

Hans, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, had already lost his usual composure at this moment, and when he reached out to support his forehead, he scolded the damn in his heart. What happened in Hongkou District, although it was tightly sealed by the Japanese army, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and in just two days, the Izakaya bloody case in Hongkou District has been rumored. Hans only learned about this morning, but after he learned that the murderer in the izakaya murder used mp18***, Hans immediately thought of the mp18*** he sold to Tang Cheng.

MP18*** is not uncommon in China, but this German-style *** is almost distributed to the army in China, and this kind of weapon is not common in the black market. After obtaining the details of the Izakaya murder from the informant, Hans immediately rushed to Tang Cheng's uncle's and nephew's current residence in the rain, and he wanted to question Tang Cheng face to face, after all, if this matter became big, he might be implicated.

The car that was moving forward in the rain soon stopped outside the door of a small western-style building in the French Concession, which was the place arranged by Hans for Tang Cheng's uncle and nephew, and the people who lived around it were all famous figures in the French Concession. Not long after the doorbell was pressed, a middle-aged foreigner opened the door from the inside, and while greeting Hans outside the door, he secretly gave Hans a look, and the latter nodded knowingly, which meant that the damn boy did not go out.

Tang Cheng, who knew that Hans was coming in the rain and hid in the study early in the morning to wipe his gun, did not alarm Zhang Jianghe, so he directly invited Hans into the study on the second floor. "Tang, tell me the truth, is that incident in Hongkou District related to you?" Hans didn't have the leisure to spend time here with Tang Cheng, but after sitting down in the study, he went straight to the point and asked Tang Cheng about the Hongkou District.

Tang Cheng didn't answer immediately, but first gave Hans a glass of wine and stretched out his hand to hand it to the other party, then sat down opposite Hans and smiled. "Mr. Ensign, don't tell me that you are here today mainly for this matter?" Tang Cheng's attitude made Hans a little anxious, but before he could speak, Tang Cheng continued. "Hongkou District is the territory of the Japanese, what does this have to do with you? Could it be that the special high school class suspected that you did it? ”

"Damn, when is this, you're still going around in circles with me here!" Hansten got up from the couch and tossed the glass of wine on the ground. "I just got the news.,The special high class has confirmed that the murderer was using mp18*** at the time.,This kind of *** doesn't exist in the black market at the moment.,I say that.,You should understand what I mean, right?"

Hans's angry look made Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Ensign, please sit down and calm down first, I didn't say that I didn't do that!" After Hans sat down again, Tang Cheng poured another glass of wine for the other party. "If you can ask me this question specifically, it means that you almost already know the identity of our uncle and nephew. Then you should also know that a month ago, in the street shootout that happened in the concession, my uncle was injured by the Japanese. ”

"Damn it! I think this thing is weird, you're here to avenge your uncle!" Hans, who finally came to his senses, immediately reached out and knocked on his head, the street shootout that happened in the concession a month ago, how could Hans not know, but he never associated Zhang Jianghe with that incident. "My uncle was a special commissioner sent to Shanghai by the Nanjing headquarters of the Intelligence Department, and the target of the Japanese was him, but the Japanese did not expect that my uncle would escape death."

"You mean, this matter was planned and implemented behind the extra-high class?" Hans, who finally came to his senses, was no longer as angry as he had just been, and after calming down, he finally regained his usual wisdom.

"That's right, the ambush of my uncle was planned and carried out by the special high school. I went to Hongkou District that night because the main person behind the plot was in the izavern, and I only wanted to assassinate that person, but I didn't expect things to suddenly change. Plans had changed, so I had to kill all the Japanese in the izakaya or I would be in danger of being completely exposed. Tang Cheng cleverly told Hans that the main reason why he killed all the people in the izakaya was just because there were a lot of Japanese officers who appeared in the izakaya that night.

Hans failed to see through Tang Cheng's lies, because if he had been in Tang Cheng's situation at the time, he might have made the same choice. Although Tang Cheng has admitted that he did the izakaya murder, Hans still has many doubts that Tang Cheng wants Tang Cheng to answer in person, such as how Tang Cheng knew that the target task would appear in the izakaya, and how Tang Cheng left Hongkou District safely without being discovered by patrolling Japanese soldiers after killing all the people in the izakaya.

"Mr. Second Lieutenant, you seem to have forgotten that my uncle is a special commissioner sent to Shanghai by the Intelligence Department, although he is injured and can no longer handle daily affairs, but after all, he is still a special commissioner from the Nanjing headquarters. The Shanghai Station of the Intelligence Department is not all a rice bucket for idle meals, since it has been determined who is behind it, how can there be more relevant investigations" Faced with Hans's doubts, Tang Cheng generously pushed the credit for obtaining clues to the Shanghai Station.

Tang Cheng's answer was leaky, so Hans didn't find the real need for attention, but Hans was not so easy to coax, from Tang Cheng's answers, Hans obviously felt that Tang Cheng should still go to the Japanese for trouble. "Tang, you can't do this, there are hundreds of thousands of Japanese in Shanghai, and even more in China. No matter how strong your ability is, I am afraid that you will not be able to kill them, not to mention that those ordinary Japanese expatriates are just innocent people. Hans wanted to persuade Tang Cheng to abandon the follow-up action against Hongkou District, but Tang Cheng did not appreciate it.

"Mr. Ensign, I came to you for help because of Joseph. I am good friends with Joseph, and you and Joseph are colleagues, I don't know when you Germans really became good friends with the Japanese! If you think I'm going to cause you trouble, then I can find another place to stay, but you have to assure me that my uncle must be cared for and treated as best if he stays here. Tang Cheng was not ambiguous, and after seeing what Hans was thinking, Tang Cheng gave Hans an affirmative answer.

Tang Cheng left Zhang Jianghe here and chose to move out on his own, Hans had nothing to say about it, especially after he knew that the young man in front of him was the real culprit behind the massacre of more than 50 people in one night. "Don, you know, I didn't mean that. I'm just saying, can you think carefully about the consequences before you do something like this in the future? Hans's words weren't very clear, but Tang Cheng had already heard what the other party was trying to say.

"Mr. Second Lieutenant, the special high school confirmed that the murderer used mp18***, which is not a big deal. After all, there is a garrison of the state government here in Shanghai, and a few mp18*** flowing out of the garrison troops is not a big deal. You don't have to worry so much, and besides, the Japanese have no evidence that they are involved in you, and if you are not at ease, I can also help the Japanese to turn their attention to the French or the British, after all, the Japanese have no good impression of Britain and France. ”

Tang Cheng wanted to cause trouble, but Hans did not dare to agree, and Hans, who was pretending to be an American, did not dare to make a provocative move against Britain and France without receiving orders from his superiors. "Mr. Ensign, you're an intelligence agent! How can you be so cowardly, if you can provoke strife and conflict between the Japanese and the British and French, I don't think your superiors will blame you, on the contrary, they should award you medals. ”

Hans and Tang Cheng, neither of them could convince the other to change their decision, but after talking to Tang Cheng, an agreement was reached between Hans and Tang Cheng. Over the next week, Hans will use his channels to help Tang Cheng gather relevant information, and Tang Cheng must help Hans clear a secret British den in the French Concession. "Deal!" Tang Cheng's right hands were clasped tightly together.

After more than an hour of closed-door conversation, the two finally reached some kind of agreement, Tang Cheng didn't mind Hans taking advantage of him, and Hans also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see Tang Cheng's skills with his own eyes. For Hans, Tang Cheng is full of secrets, and he needs time to unravel them one by one. At this time, Tang Cheng only wanted to use Hans's intelligence channels to collect more information about the special high class, so as to create opportunities for the next follow-up actions.

On the way back to the restaurant, Hans in the sedan suddenly reacted that he had braved the rain to inquire about Tang Cheng today, and he had originally gone with a sense of anger. But now, instead of being angry, he is a little complacent about the agreement reached with Tang Cheng, is this what the Chinese call a cheap skin!
