Chapter Twenty-Nine: The News Is Out
The New Asia Hotel is still new, and the sound insulation effect of Chang Yuqing's luxury suite is very good, and these two floors have been occupied by the Zodiac Society, and people from the New Asia Hotel rarely come up. Therefore, even if Tang Cheng shot Chang Yuqing with *** in the suite, no one in the hotel came up to check, and the faint sound from the suite was thought by the people in the hotel to be the movement inadvertently made by the people of the Zodiac Society.
Tang Cheng swept away the valuable items in Sanyuqing's safe, and then swept the other rooms on the same floor, and after clearing the Zodiac Society's manpower in the New Asia Hotel today, he used a rope to lower down from the back window of Sanyuqing's suite. Sliding down the rope into Tang Cheng in the back alley of the New Asia Hotel, he quickly disappeared into the night, but when he left Chang Yuqing's suite, he left a special gift.
The New Asia Hotel, which didn't know anything, was still full of people coming in and out, and the two Japanese military policemen guarding the main gate were tall, but they didn't know that the upstairs of the New Asia Hotel was already full of dead bodies. Tang Cheng, who left the New Asia Hotel, took advantage of the cover of night and quickly returned to the hotel room where he stayed according to the way he came, and Tang Cheng, who was originally going to leave Hongkou District early the next morning, saw that it was still early at the moment, so he took the forged special high-tech certificate and drove a stolen car back to the concession.
Tang Cheng's special high-tech certificate was forged very realistically, and the Japanese soldiers guarding the checkpoint did not recognize his true identity, and Tang Cheng was still driving a car, so he was not carefully interrogated by the Japanese army at the pass when he passed the customs. Tang Cheng, who entered the concession, directly parked the stolen car on the side of the street, but he mixed into an alley when no one was paying attention, and when Tang Cheng came out of the alley again, not only did he change his outfit, but even his appearance and body shape when he walked looked very different from just now.
For tonight's operation, Tang Cheng has been planning carefully for several days, and he has even designed several fake identities and disguises for this, even if the Japanese soldiers guarding the checkpoint and the patrol of the concession can recall the situation when Tang Cheng passed through the customs afterwards, I am afraid that they only remember a bearded man, and they will not be registered with Tang Cheng who is dressed up at this moment. Tang Cheng, who had changed into the dress of a rich child, did not return to his residence immediately, but went straight to a decent bar in the French Concession.
After staying in this bar for more than an hour, Tang Cheng, who was full of alcohol, said goodbye to the new friends he met in the bar and left the bar pretending to be drunk. Tang Cheng left his residence for a whole day, and on the way he got rid of the men sent by Hans to follow him, during which Tang Cheng had done and who he had contact with, Hans did not know. Therefore, after Tang Cheng, who was covered in alcohol, returned to his residence, Hans, who received Edmund's report, could only silently speculate in his heart.
Unfounded speculation will never be able to guess the truth, and besides, the New Asia Hotel is in the area controlled by the Japanese army, and Hans would never have imagined that Tang Cheng went to the New Asia Hotel. Tang Cheng had a good night's sleep, but the New Asia Hotel was already turned upside down, if it wasn't for the Zodiac Society's outgoing personnel returning to the New Asia Hotel after the end of the operation, only to find the tragic situation upstairs, maybe this matter would not break out until after dawn the next day.
After receiving the news, the Shanghai headquarters of Tegaoke immediately sent people to the New Asia Hotel, and immediately blocked the New Asia Hotel, but everyone who stayed in the New Asia Hotel or was still in the New Asia Hotel at this time was blocked in the New Asia Hotel by the Tegaoke and the military police. "Shut up, until you receive an order from your superiors, all of you must stay here unconditionally and be examined! Hear me clearly, all of you are subject to scrutiny! ”
Hideki Nishio, who had arrived at the New Asia Hotel 2 minutes ago, had just entered the New Asia Hotel and was blocked by several Japanese officers in the hotel lobby. In desperation, Hideki Nishio had no choice but to order the gendarmes who came with him to control these officers first, and then stood on the table in the hotel lobby and shouted at everyone in the lobby.
Hideki Nishio, who wears glasses, looks polite and polite, but once he turns his face in anger, he looks very terrifying. The hotel lobby was full of other people who were about to leave, and when they saw that the officers who were leading the commotion were all detained by the military police, these people were temporarily silenced. "Look at them, before receiving the order, the New Asia Hotel can only enter and exit. If someone wants to force them out, you can detain them first and wait for me to come down from the upper floor. ”
After Hideki Nishio, who was in a hurry to go upstairs to check the situation, explained a few words, he took a few of his cronies upstairs by elevator, and the elevator door was only opened on the sixth floor, and Hideki Nishio smelled a smell of blood in his nose. Stepping out of the elevator, the special high-tech trace experts who were busy in the corridor immediately came over to report the situation, "The situation is very bad, all the people in the hotel of the Zodiac will die tonight, if it weren't for their actions tonight, maybe everyone in the Zodiac will die here." ”
The words of the trace expert made the heart of Hideki Nishio, who didn't know anything at the moment, sink in his heart, the Zodiac Society is a traitor organization jointly supported by the military and the special high-tech department. In the current special period when the military and the special high-tech cannot enter the concession in a big way, they expect the zodiac to play the role of the vanguard, and if the zodiac will be wiped out or greatly damaged, the arrangements made by the special high-tech and the military will be in vain. When Hideki Nishio really saw the corpses that were being carried out of the room one after another, he knew that what the trace expert had just said was not an exaggeration, and that more than fifty corpses had been lifted out of these rooms on the sixth floor alone.
"Boom!" Just when Hideki Nishio looked at the corpses and secretly hurt himself, there was a sudden explosion upstairs, and a large cloud of dust spewed directly from the corridor into the sixth floor. "Go see what's going on upstairs!" Hideki Nishio, who was accidentally rubbed with a hand of blood, struggled to push away the men who were blocking in front of him, and his mouth was already screaming.
The two gendarmes who had been sent upstairs soon returned, but they brought back bad news for Hideki Nishio, two trace experts upstairs and three Japanese plainclothes members of the special high-tech department, who had been killed and wounded two in the explosion just now. "The explosion occurred when they were about to open Chang Yuqing's luxury suite, according to the situation at the scene, *** should be fixed in the room on the door lock of the suite, as long as the door is opened from the outside, it will detonate the *** placed in advance."
After the dust scattered in the corridor cleared, Hideki Nishio led people upstairs, only to find that the upstairs was the same as below, there were corpses in every room, and most importantly, Sanyuqing, who was the president of the Zodiac Society, was also killed by the bed in the inner room of the suite. The explosion shattered all the windows facing the street, which was a good way to hide the traces of Tang Cheng leaving through the windows, not to mention that no one would think that anyone could leave from such a high place.
Panic and extreme panic, this may be all the mood of Nishio Hideki at the moment, according to the analysis of the situation at the scene, the murderers who strangled the members of the Zodiac Society in the New Asia Hotel tonight are likely to be only three people. "Section leader, after our careful search and comparison at the scene, the murderer used a total of two different caliber firearms throughout the scene, and there should also be a sharp knife, so we judge that the murderer should be three or less."
A trio can infiltrate the New Asia Hotel and quietly strangle more than 70 people from the Zodiac Society, Nishio Hideki would never have imagined that there would be such a person in this world. But everything in front of him clearly told Hideki Nishio that this incident did indeed happen, and it happened in the New Asia Hotel. Even though Hideki Nishio had mobilized several of the best trace experts in Shanghai, there were few useful traces left at the scene, and the company did not find too many clues from the scene.
"Immediately mobilize people to help, all the people in the New Asia Hotel tonight, regardless of their status, must be strictly scrutinized, and the clues of the murderer must be found." Hideki Nishio, who didn't find too many clues from upstairs, was also anxious, and learned from the gendarmes on duty at the door that no suspicious person had left the hotel before the crime, so Hideki Nishio pinned his hopes of finding the murderer on the investigation of the people in the hotel.
Most of the people who can stay in the New Asia Hotel are Japanese, and there are many Japanese officers, and the special high-tech department has to conduct the necessary identity checks on everyone in the hotel, which is destined to not go smoothly. The New Asia Hotel, which was surrounded by a large number of plainclothes agents and gendarmes, detonated even more riots after dawn, because the corpses that were brought out of the hotel one after another could not be hidden.
After receiving a telephone report from an enthusiastic citizen, someone accurately grasped the number of corpses taken out of the Xinya Hotel and the place where the corpses were temporarily stored through a Japanese military policeman who participated in the removal of the corpses last night. Therefore, when Hideki Nishio, who had not slept all night, received the news, the place used by the Japanese army hospital to temporarily store the corpses had already been surrounded by a large number of foreign journalists.
Most of these audacious journalists were foreigners, and even though there were some clashes between the military police and the reporters at the army hospital, the Japanese army generally did not dare to behave against these foreign journalists. With the participation and so-called coordination of the special high-tech department, the foreign reporters who appeared in the army hospital finally dispersed, but the news of the attack on the New Asia Hotel last night still spread in the concession, especially the death of Chang Yuqing, the president of the Zodiac Society, which was even more big news.
