Chapter 124: Object of Suspicion
"Brother, who are those? I saw that they were all wounded, and two of them had their backs, which looked like they were burned with a soldering iron. When Zhang Qing and the others were looking for answers in doubt, Tang Cheng had already returned to the street where Tang's house was located with Heizi, and seeing that he was about to arrive at the door of the house, Heizi with a tangled face asked the question that had been held all the way.
Hearing this, Tang Cheng reached out and rubbed a handful of Kuroko's head, and then said with a smile. "There are some things that you don't know yet, and you remember, only you and I know about tonight's events, and you must not tell anyone else." Tang Cheng's words made Kuroko feel a little disappointed, but Tang Cheng immediately promised to take him to the outskirts of the city to fish, and the little excited Kuroko in his heart immediately forgot the loss just now.
Although the Chongqing Station of the Central Command tried its best to cover up what happened last night, before noon the next day, the explosion and gunfight that occurred in the east of the city last night were already spreading in Chongqing. The Chongqing underground party organization also got the news, but compared with those who did not know the inside story, the Chongqing underground party organization already knew that the place where the explosion and gunfight took place in the east of the city last night was a safe house in the east of the city. A secret liaison point of the Chongqing underground party was cracked by the Central Union, and six people were arrested by the Central Union, and the incident occurred on the same day as the shootout in the east of the city, which could not help but attract the attention of the Chongqing underground party.
When there was an accident at the contact point, the Chongqing underground party organization has been actively inquiring about the whereabouts of the arrested comrades and preparing to launch a rescue. Zhongtong had an accident in the safe house in the east of the city, and heard that many Zhongtong people had died, so Luo Bingkun, who received the news, risked being exposed, and used the method agreed with Zhang Jianghe before to hang out a signal outside the door of Luo Ji Tavern to actively seek contact. Zhang Jianghe went home every day for a while, and every time he went home, he had to walk the street where Luo Ji Tavern was located, and the contact signal hanging out outside the door of Luo Ji Tavern naturally couldn't escape Zhang Jianghe's eyes.
Luo Bingkun took the initiative to seek contact, which Zhang Jianghe did not expect, according to his agreement with Luo Bingkun, he has always gone to Luo Ji by himself, and Luo Bingkun will never take the initiative to find himself. Could it be that something went wrong? Seeing the contact signal outside the door of Luo Ji Tavern, Zhang Jianghe's heart was full of doubts. After returning home from work, Zhang Jianghe waited patiently until it was dark, and then found an excuse to go out.
"Lao Luo, is something wrong? I saw a contact signal hanging up outside the tavern door! Still in the side room in the backyard of Luo Ji Tavern, Luo Bingkun and Zhang Jianghe sat opposite each other, with a pot of hot tea and a plate of lo-mei on the table. Luo Bingkun put out the active contact signal, that is, he wanted to meet with Zhang Jianghe, and this question of Zhang Jianghe at the moment is also what Luo Bingkun wants to talk about with Zhang Jianghe.
"One of our contact points in the city was cracked by the Central Union, six comrades were arrested, and last night, there was an explosion and a shootout in the east of the city, and the inside line planted by the organization in the police station spread the news that the bodies that were removed from the scene were all from the Central Union." Luo Bingkun poured a cup of hot tea for Zhang Jianghe as he spoke. "The police station insider said that several houses at the scene were set up as torture cells, so we suspect that the six comrades arrested at the liaison point are likely to be held in that courtyard east of the city."
Zhang Jianghe's face was shocked when he heard this, "You mean, someone attacked the safe house of the Central Union in the east of the city last night, and also rescued the six comrades who were arrested during the day?" What Luo Bingkun said made Zhang Jianghe extremely shocked in his heart. Luo Bingkun's understanding of the Central Union is far inferior to that of Zhang Jianghe, who is convinced that the Central Union has a safe house in the east of the city, but he can't think of any other force in Chongqing that can raid the Zhongtong stronghold so quickly, and can escape with his whole body after saving people.
"The inside line said that the people of Zhongtong did not find useful clues at the scene, which shows that the people who raided the safe house of Zhongtong are very combative." The look of surprise on Zhang Jianghe's face did not escape Luo Bingkun's eyes, so he continued. "Our inside line secretly inquired with the people of the Central Union, and the Central Union preliminarily concluded that the number of attackers was not large, and it should be about three people."
"Three?" The look of surprise on Zhang Jianghe's face was even worse, he knew that there were many highly skilled people in the Central Union, and like this kind of safe house used to secretly detain the arrested target, the Central Union would definitely not arrange only a few people to guard it at random. With just three people, they were able to raid the secret safe house of the Central Command and successfully rescue the six people who were being held in custody, which was impossible to do in Zhang Jianghe's opinion.
"Are you sure the six arrested people are being held in that courtyard east of the city?" After thinking about it secretly, Zhang Jianghe still didn't believe it, if it was just a raid that would be a dip and go, it might make sense. But if you have to take care of saving people, and after saving people, you have to get out of the whole body, which is very difficult. Therefore, Zhang Jianghe must first find out whether the comrades who were left for arrest were really being detained in the courtyard in the east of the city.
Luo Bingkun shook his head when he heard this, "We don't know for sure, but the superiors used almost all the channels, and the central government found no clues in several other places in the city." Luo Bingkun used Luo Ji Tavern to disguise his identity, he didn't have much time to collect clues and intelligence, and what he knew at the moment was all information and inferences relayed by the traffic officer from his superiors.
"Then it's hard to make inferences, as far as I know, Ma Guangfei, the director of the Chongqing office newly sent by the Central Union, is a difficult person to get along with. This person is arrogant by nature, but he is good at figuring out people's minds, and he is best at finding clues from subtleties. How could such a person act hastily? Zhang Jianghe said in the end that he acted rashly, Luo Bingkun knew what Zhang Jianghe meant.
"Originally, I was suspicious of this, but there was news from above that there were more than 20 Zhongtong spies who died in that courtyard last night, and most of them were operatives." Luo Bingkun exhaled slowly, but when he received this news, his face was also full of shock and disbelief, if the people of the Central Union were so easy to kill, the underground party organizations everywhere would not be forced by the Central Union step by step.
Luo Bingkun broke the news one after another, so that Zhang Jianghe couldn't sit still, there was such a big thing in the office of the Central Union in Chongqing, and he, the stationmaster, didn't know at all, was there something mixed with things he didn't know? After interviewing Luo Bingkun, Zhang Jianghe did not go home directly, but went to Chongqing Station. "Go and ask, is there anything big going on in the city today?" The officer on duty was called to Zhang Jianghe's office, and soon Zhang Jianghe got a summary of information related to the Central Union.
Compared with the situation that Luo Bingkun told him, the summary of the situation related to the Central Unification in Chongqing Station seems to be more detailed, and after looking at the information summary brought by the officer on duty, Zhang Jianghe finally has a clear understanding of the whole matter. Unlike Luo Bingkun, after Zhang Jianghe read the intelligence summary in his hand, the first thing he considered was the caliber of the bullets mentioned in the intelligence summary, and like the Central Union, most of the intelligence departments were also issued with Browning pistols, and the bullet caliber was not 9 mm.
As for ***, it is even more unlikely, but in the gun arsenal of the Nanjing headquarters, Zhang Jianghe has seen a few ***. Could it be that the attacker was not from the city of Chongqing? Among the firearms used by the attackers was also a ***, and Zhang Jianghe had to expand the scope of his thinking. After thinking about it, Zhang Jianghe, who was in chaos in his head, still couldn't find the answer, and when he accidentally saw the ashtray on the table, Zhang Jianghe's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered Tang Cheng.
When he was attacked and injured in Shanghai, Tang Cheng rushed to Shanghai alone to avenge himself, and once infiltrated Hongkou District alone to kill, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't know Tang Cheng's skills. Thinking that there were only two attackers mentioned in the intelligence summary, Zhang Jianghe thought of Tang Cheng uncontrollably, and Zhang Jianghe knew that the two boys in Tang Cheng's family were also extraordinary.
Could it be that Tang Cheng did what happened last night? Tang Cheng is strong, and Tang Cheng's two younger brothers are also not weak, and after thinking about it, Tang Cheng seems to have the ability to attack. However, he did not find out that Tang Cheng had dealings with the underground party, and Tang Cheng had the ability to attack the safe house of Zhongtong, but Zhang Jianghe couldn't think of a reason for Tang Cheng to secretly attack. Indeed, even if Zhang Jianghe wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of a reason for Tang Cheng to make a move, and Tang Cheng had been so busy recently that he couldn't even see anyone, so he must not have extra time to pay attention to this matter!
Zhang Jianghe's subconscious felt that the matter of Zhongtong might be related to Tang Cheng, but he never thought of a reason for Tang Cheng to do it. Early the next morning, Zhang Jianghe, who had been resting in the office for the night, called Tang Cheng. "Uncle, I've been so busy these days that I can't even take care of eating, where can I still have time to go to you!" After receiving a call from Zhang Jianghe, he already knew that Zhang Jianghe had gone to Tang Cheng at Luo Ji Tavern last night, so naturally he would not show his feet.
"You said there was an explosion in the east of the city! I know! That's right! But that's a matter of Zhongtong, you also know that I don't deal with the people of Zhongtong, what the hell am I doing with that idle mind! On the phone, Tang Cheng did not hide that he knew about the explosion in the east of the city, but his answer sounded reasonable, after all, when Tang Cheng was still in Nanjing, he had a conflict with the people of Zhongtong, and Tang Cheng even used a gun at that time.
"What do you say? More than 20 people died in Zhongtong? You deserve it! I think I'll be able to eat a few more pancakes in a while. Tang Cheng's nonsensitous answer made Zhang Jianghe begin to doubt his inference on the other end of the phone. Because Tang Cheng's performance and answer were no different from usual, Zhang Jianghe did not find the answer he wanted from Tang Cheng's answer.
