Chapter 54: The Quest Comes to the Door
Tang Cheng lowered his head and pondered, but when he raised his head and was about to talk to Bai Zhanshan, the strange expression on the other party's face flashed and disappeared, but Tang Cheng really looked at it. Is there something I don't know about this matter? The fleeting strangeness on Bai Zhanshan's face made Tang Cheng swallow back the words that had already reached his lips, and he suddenly felt that it seemed a little unwise to tell Bai Zhanshan about Hans at this moment. "If you have any work, just say it, don't make this picture like you want to say it or not." Bai Zhanshan is an adult with life experience far beyond Tang Cheng, and when he saw Tang Cheng's expression at the moment, he guessed something different.
Tang Cheng, who was seen through by Bai Zhanshan, secretly scolded in his heart, he didn't look embarrassed because of Bai Zhanshan's words, so he took the opportunity to ask Bai Zhanshan. "Uncle Bai, what the hell is going on with this Kenichi Yamamoto? There are no outsiders here, just you and me, you tell me carefully!" Tang Cheng raised his eyebrows at Bai Zhanshan, the latter already understood what Tang Cheng meant, and Bai Zhanshan, who secretly called Xiao Slippery in his heart, immediately frowned, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to tell Tang Cheng the truth.
After secretly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Bai Zhanshan finally sighed and gave the inner wall to Tang Cheng to die. "Supposedly, I shouldn't have told you more about this matter, when I left Nanjing, the director had a special explanation, and he only needed to tell you the content of the task. But since you're going to ask, I can't say I don't know, or lie to you. You have to promise me first, you must not mention these things I told you to anyone else, otherwise you Uncle Bai and I will be in trouble. ”
When Bai Zhanshan spoke, his expression was extremely solemn and serious, Tang Cheng looked at Bai Zhanshan's appearance as if he was cheating and coaxing himself, so he nodded and agreed. "I didn't know about this Kenichi Yamamoto at first, but before leaving Nanjing, the director suddenly gave me a document and explained to me that one of the purposes of coming to Shanghai this time was to kill this Kenichi Yamamoto. You also know that your Uncle Bai and I have not been transferred to the intelligence department for a long time, and there are few good people under my hands who can handle it, if it weren't for the director saying that he came to Shanghai to find you, I might not dare to take on this task. ”
The more Bai Zhanshan spoke, the more he chattered, and he was halfway through his words, but he had already begun to go off topic, so Tang Cheng had nothing to do at the moment, so he patiently did not say anything to interrupt Bai Zhanshan's chatter. Bai Zhanshan pulled farther and farther, Tang Cheng patiently did not interrupt her, or Bai Zhanshan saw the expression on Tang Cheng's face that he wanted to smile or not, so he finally came back to his senses and turned the conversation to the topic. "This Kenichi Yamamoto also has a Chinese name, called Wang Changde. A month ago, he was still a person from Shanghai Station, and if it weren't for the internal self-inspection of the Shanghai Station's implementation of the headquarters, this thing would still be able to continue to lurk in Shanghai Station. ”
Bai Zhanshan's words finally solved the mystery for Tang Cheng, daring to love this Kenichi Yamamoto who actually pretended to be a Chinese and lurked inside the Shanghai station. Tang Cheng opened his mouth wide at this moment, as if listening to a book from heaven, but in his mind, he connected the self-examination of Shanghai Station, Kenichi Yamamoto's exposure of his identity and Zhang Jianghe's ambush. Tang Cheng, who finally connected these things together, secretly exhaled a sigh, and it was only at this moment that he finally understood the purpose of Bai Zhanshan's sudden arrival in Shanghai, which was ordered by the director to come to Shanghai to clean up the gate and cover up the ugliness.
In the intelligence department of the Nationalist Government, there is actually a Japanese spy who is pretending to be Chinese, and if this matter is exposed by the sworn enemy of the intelligence department, the Central Committee or the special high department, the whole level of the management and security intelligence department will be rebuked by the chairman of the committee. The chief of the department, who is bent on strengthening the functions of the intelligence department, may also be put into the cold palace by the chairman of the committee because of this scandal, and he will kill people in advance, which will become the only means for the director to make amends.
Thinking about the key point, Tang Cheng's face immediately showed a smile, and Bai Zhanshan, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he saw the smile on Tang Cheng's face. Bai Zhanshan's understanding of Tang Cheng was only more than a month when he cooperated in Nanjing, but he was very familiar with Tang Cheng's smiling face, as long as Tang Cheng showed such an appearance, it meant that someone had fallen into his calculations, which was going to be unlucky. Without waiting for Bai Zhanshan to speak, Tang Cheng, who suddenly straightened his face, preemptively spoke.
"Uncle Bai, this job is difficult!" Tang Cheng, who took out a cigarette, lit a cigarette, and while smoking, he quickly flicked his fingers on the table, Bai Zhanshan, who was familiar with him, knew that this was Tang Cheng's habitual action when thinking about problems. "According to what you just told me, this Kenichi Yamamoto has returned to the special high school, not to mention that we don't know where this person is now, even if we know, Hongkou District, which has been tightly controlled by the Japanese, is not easy for us to get in now, after all, the Japanese army has strengthened its control over Hongkou District."
"Assassination is not something that can be done just by talking about it, it also requires accurate intelligence to support it, and I also need a sum of money for the event and equipment for the operation." Having said that, Tang Cheng's movements of flicking the table with his fingers gradually increased in frequency, but the expression on his face was still the same. "Another point, if I succeed in killing this Kenichi Yamamoto, will I provoke large-scale retaliation from the special high school because of this matter? In case the above can't bear the retaliation of the extra high class, in order to calm the matter, and hand me over as an unlucky egg, then I won't lose a lot of money!"
Tang Cheng's last sentence made Bai Zhanshan pick up the teacup in front of him a little embarrassed, and Bai Zhanshan, who pretended to drink tea, was already calling Tang Cheng the little fox in his heart for the second time. It was just an assassination operation, Tang Cheng could think of so many things from it, and while secretly calling Tang Cheng the little fox, Bai Zhanshan also dared not underestimate Tang Cheng more and more. "Xiao Wu, you can rest assured of this, when I left Nanjing, the director said that as long as this matter is done, the director will arrange all the things you said. As long as you go to Chongqing, no matter how much the Japanese toss, their hands will not be able to reach Chongqing. ”
Bai Zhanshan's explanation full of moisture made Tang Cheng immediately glance at the other party with slanted eyes, and sneered with resentment in his mouth. "Uncle Bai, you know that what I'm worried about is not that the Japanese will directly retaliate against me!" Tang Cheng's words embarrassed Bai Zhanshan, "I'm not afraid of the Japanese, I'm just worried about those big men above, these big men who are high up, from the point of view, we people are just ants." When I left Nanjing, I heard that there had been people clamoring for peaceful coexistence with the Japanese, and that it would not be too easy for them to abandon a nobody like me when the time came. ”
Tang Cheng's words were full of resentment, and Bai Zhanshan didn't know what to say for a while, and after a little silence, Tang Cheng continued. "Although I am not very happy in my heart, but this matter is the intention of the director, then I can only come next. It's just that let's talk about it first, after this incident, you must not use me as a sacrifice. And like my father, I just want to concentrate on dealing with the Japanese spies lurking in the Kuomintang area, so after this incident, your intelligence department will stop looking for me to assassinate me. I'm not a killer, I'm not an assassin, I just want to be a little cop and catch Japanese spies by the way. ”
Negotiate the conditions with the intelligence department, Tang Cheng has not been arrogant to this point, but this time is a good opportunity, and the conditions he proposed are not difficult to accept, and the intelligence department who is in a hurry to cover up his ugliness may not agree. Bai Zhanshan also felt that Tang Cheng's request was nothing, so he immediately nodded and agreed, and took the initiative to take out a few gold bars and push them to Tang Cheng. "Before I left Nanjing, the director specially approved it for you, even if it was to give you activity funds. If you have more, let's not talk about it, the Commissioner and I know your skills, and I hope you can successfully complete this task. ”
Tang Cheng was not polite, he took the gold bar and put it in his pocket, and after smoking a cigarette, Tang Cheng made a list of equipment to Bai Zhanshan. "I'll find someone to collect information about Kenichi Yamamoto, and you don't have to do this. It's just the weapons and equipment you need to use for the operation, and it's up to you to figure it out, and it would be even better if you could get me a Mauser sniper rifle. "Tang Cheng knows that there are not many Mauser sniper rifles in the national army, but it should not be difficult for the intelligence department to come forward and call them from the army.
"The specific plan will not be formulated until I get the information from Kenichi Yamamoto. You will also have to prepare several action teams in advance to cover my safe evacuation after the operation is over. "Tang Cheng didn't intend to fully trust the Intelligence Department, but there were some things that he couldn't do alone, at least when he left, someone had to provide cover behind him.
Tang Cheng's request, Bai Zhanshan nodded and agreed without hesitation, he was also a person who had directly participated in the action, so he naturally knew that Tang Cheng's request was not excessive. It's just that for the list of equipment listed by Tang Cheng, Bai Zhanshan expressed his doubts, "Xiao Wu, what do you want so many ** for?" And the original German wooden handle**, with a sniper rifle, you don't have to go to the target to engage in close fire? ”
Of course, Tang Cheng couldn't tell Bai Zhanshan about his intentions, and in the face of Bai Zhanshan's question, Tang Cheng only explained that it was used to retreat and cover. After staying with Bai Zhanshan in the Sifang Teahouse for more than 2 hours, and agreeing to meet again in three days, Tang Cheng got up and left. Leaving the teahouse, Tang Cheng immediately called a rickshaw on the side of the street, but the people arranged by Bai Zhanshan only followed him out of two streets, and suddenly lost Tang Cheng's trace.
