Chapter 9: The Lord Appears

"Uncle, what did you say this surnamed Xie was doing in Chongqing? The modified cannon has been handed over to them, why doesn't the surnamed Xie leave? Another day passed, Xie Zhonglin still didn't move, and Tang Cheng, who had secretly arranged people to monitor, finally couldn't sit still. Although the veteran policemen of the investigation team were good at finding out the news, this brain-stirring thing was insufficient, and Tang Cheng had no choice but to call Zhang Jianghe.

Tang Cheng was able to take the initiative to call himself, and Zhang Jianghe expressed his relief, which showed that Tang Cheng did not guard himself from doing things. "I told you a long time ago, don't worry about those people from Nanjing. Now that the modified cannon has been given to them, the rest has nothing to do with us, and as for when they leave, that's their own business. There are some things that if you care about too much, you will definitely get into trouble. Zhang Jianghe didn't say it very bluntly on the phone, but Tang Cheng had already heard the hint in his words.

"Okay then! Since that's the case, then I'll continue to recuperate. Tang Cheng, who had already vaguely guessed something in his heart, agreed very simply, and in the next few days, Tang Cheng really nested in the backyard of the barracks without moving an inch. Tang Cheng hid in the barracks and did not come out, and the investigation team's actions in the urban area gradually decreased a lot, and Xie Zhonglin, who was bent on hiding in the shadows to grasp the handle, never found an opportunity, while the situation in Shanghai deteriorated further.

"Fortunately, we left Nanjing early, otherwise the headquarters should have sent someone to investigate." Through his old friends in Nanjing, Zhang Jianghe would not lack news of the changes in Shanghai and Nanjing, and when he learned that Shanghai's defense line was on the verge of complete collapse and that the government was preparing to defend Nanjing, Zhang Jianghe finally understood why Tang Cheng tried his best to persuade him to transfer to Chongqing last year.

"Uncle, you think too highly of me, I will persuade you to leave Nanjing, my original intention is just to find a place away from power disputes to live well." Tang Cheng cut the watermelon on the table, and then pushed the cut watermelon to Zhang Jianghe with a smile. "Originally, I advised you to go to Wuhan or Changsha, compared with Chongqing, whether Wuhan or Changsha, it is considered to occupy a geographical advantage, and the connection with Nanjing is easy to maintain. However, my mother's home is in Sichuan, and when she came to Chongqing, at least my mother's mood can be better. ”

Tang Cheng's explanation, Zhang Jianghe obviously could not accept, after receiving the news from Nanjing, Zhang Jianghe has been pondering the matter of Tang Cheng persuading him to transfer to Chongqing. Now that I think about it, there are indeed a lot of unreasonable things in this matter, especially Tang Cheng's insistence at the beginning has no reason at all. "Okay, what you say is what you say!" Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't want to continue this topic, Zhang Jianghe had to give up for the time being.

"That Xie Zhonglin, I have already asked someone, Xie Zhonglin is indeed a person from the Ministry of Defense, but this person has no real power in the Ministry of Defense at all, in your words, this person, this Xie Zhonglin is a bastard. Those old foxes in the Ministry of Defense can't send such an inconspicuous little character to Chongqing suddenly for no reason, there must be something we don't know about. Throwing away the melon skin in his hand, Zhang Jianghe suddenly mentioned Xie Zhonglin, Tang Cheng frowned, but he didn't catch Zhang Jianghe's words.

After a moment of silence, Tang Cheng finally spoke, "Uncle, can we not mention the surname Xie?" No matter what purpose or mission he came to Chongqing, it has nothing to do with me. There will be an action on my side soon, where is there still time to entangle with that surnamed Xie! Tang Cheng didn't understand why Zhang Jianghe suddenly mentioned Xie Zhonglin, so when he answered Zhang Jianghe, he seemed very indifferent, and Zhang Jianghe, who was secretly paying attention to his reaction, didn't see the slightest flaw.

Two days passed quickly, and the investigation team, under the personal command of Tang Cheng, launched an operation in the south of the city, and in just half an hour, it successfully killed and captured a number of Japanese spies lurking in the south of the city. "Be careful, search all the places where you can hide things, and don't be careless." Tang Cheng inspected the items in the main house that the arrested subjects had not had time to destroy, and more than a dozen veteran policemen who participated in the operation searched all the rooms in the courtyard according to Tang Cheng's orders.

The reason why Tang Cheng had to postpone the action for three days was only because just a moment before the action was that Tang Cheng suddenly discovered that the Chongqing underground party actually had a stronghold on this street. Tang Cheng, who was worried that the action would affect the pond fish, had to temporarily interrupt the operation, and revealed the location of the operation to Zhang Jianghe in his own way, and waited for the Chongqing underground party organization to close the stronghold in this street before Tang Cheng launched the operation.

"Captain, we may be a step too late, the brothers only found some ** and ammunition, and the radio station and codebook were not found." More than a dozen veteran policemen of the investigation team almost turned over the entire courtyard, but only ** and ammunition were found, but the radio station and codebook that Tang Cheng wanted were nowhere to be found. Tang Cheng didn't care about this, even if he found the radio station and code book, it was just a basis for asking the Nanjing headquarters for reward, and in Tang Cheng's heart, it was far less than the pleasure of destroying the spy stronghold.

"Whether it's dead or alive, all of them will be sent back, don't make a noise about this operation, I have a hunch that we are likely to be able to catch big fish this time." Tang Cheng held a book of poetry in his hand, which he had found in the dark compartment of a drawer. A book of poems hidden in a dark grid, with many traces of flipping and with rough edges in the corners, Tang Cheng didn't believe that this thing was useless.

Zhao Dashan and his entourage escorted the prisoners and corpses out of the small courtyard, but Zhao Dashan immediately turned over and came back, "Captain, the one surnamed Xie is outside the courtyard, look at the posture, there is a plan." Zhao Dashan's words made Tang Cheng stunned, he was almost about to forget this Xie Zhonglin, how could this product still be entangled in the ghost, could it be that this product was preparing to make a fuss about himself? After thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have any tricks to be used by Xie Zhonglin, and Tang Cheng immediately put his mind at ease.

Xie Zhonglin was outside the courtyard, and Tang Cheng felt that since he couldn't avoid the other party, he simply came out of the courtyard generously. "Sir Xie, what a coincidence!" Tang Cheng walked out of the courtyard, and saw Xie Zhonglin who was leading people to block the way of the old policeman of the investigation team, Tang Cheng smiled slightly, raised his legs and stepped forward. "Sir Xie, what are you doing here? Blocking our way, don't you want to rescue these people on the street? Without waiting for Xie Zhonglin to speak, Tang Cheng first buttoned a big hat to the other party.

Xie Zhonglin was not stupid, he immediately heard the trap hidden in Tang Cheng's words, and immediately stared at him and was about to attack, but he was stopped by the people around him in time. "Officer Tang, look at what you said, how could we stop you, let alone rescue you on the street, we can't afford this crime." The one who spoke, Tang Cheng had seen it for the first time, but seeing the other party's polite appearance with glasses, Tang Cheng felt that this person would be more difficult to deal with than Xie Zhonglin.

As if sensing the wariness in Tang Cheng's eyes, the man with glasses immediately smiled and said, "Contemptible ***, from Nanjing, I have heard the name of Officer Tang for a long time, and today I have seen it well deserved." Wang Qing looked polite and polite, and he said the same, but Tang Cheng felt more and more that this person was dangerous, especially in the eyes of the other party looking at him, there was a faint trace of inexplicable taste, which made Tang Cheng feel very uncomfortable.

was dressed in civilian clothes, and he did not identify himself to Tang Cheng in his words, so when Tang Cheng spoke, he had to call the other party Mr. Wan. "Mr. Wan said with a smile, my Tang Cheng is just a small sheriff, and I can't be called worthy of it. If there is nothing to do, we will go first, we are busy, please forgive me. Tang Cheng's answer sounded dry, and without waiting for the other party to answer, Tang Cheng took people and left.

"You've seen it all! People don't want to deal with you at all! Why don't people want to talk to you? That's not it's that you played music with others as soon as you came up, and as a result, you annoyed others, if you change me, I don't want to pay attention to you! "Seeing Tang Cheng and the others leave quickly, ***, who was still smiling just now, immediately turned around and taught Xie Zhonglin a lesson." You can have a snack in the future! Not everyone will take the initiative to let you, and your family's face is not good here. ”

"Cousin, it's my fault, it's all my fault, it's okay!" Xie Zhonglin didn't dare to be petty in front of ***, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake. "But this boy surnamed Tang does have some skills, and judging from what I've investigated these days, this Tang Cheng seems to be more interested in capturing the hidden Japanese spies. What do you think he will do if he refuses us? According to the situation in his family, even if we forcibly recruit him, it will not help! After all, his father was a martyr who won a medal! ”

Xie Zhonglin's words made the corners of ***'s eyes twitch a few times unconsciously, Tang Cheng's situation is indeed not suitable for their recruitment, and Tang Cheng is not without backers in Nanjing and Chongqing. "Wait and see, until I find a chance to talk to him! At present, the survival of the country is in danger, and personal interests can only be put last, since his father is a martyr, he should know the truth. "*** is firm in his words, but he doesn't have much confidence in his heart.

Tang Cheng never knew the purpose of Xie Zhonglin's visit to Chongqing, in fact, it is not difficult to guess that Xie Zhonglin's purpose in coming to Chongqing was to inspect Tang Cheng. Although not many people knew the inside story of what Tang Cheng did in Shanghai last year, at a time when the war was unfavorable, some people proposed an assassination plan against those officials who had surrendered to the Japanese army. There is no shortage of assassin killers in the Intelligence Department, but there are not many good ones like Tang Cheng who can get in and out and get out of the way. The purpose of Xie Zhonglin's trip to Chongqing was to recruit Tang Cheng to join this plan, and he was the main person in charge of this operation.
