Chapter 26: The Rainy Night Robbery (4)

There is nothing more painful in the world than hope that is right in front of you but out of reach. Hans could see the things he needed in the safe at this moment, but Tang Cheng held a lighter and pestle in the safe with a strange smile, with Tang Cheng's skills, Hans knew that he was not Tang Cheng's opponent, so he couldn't grab the other party by grabbing it. Since there is no way to stop the other party, the only thing left is to confess the purpose to the other party, but Hans feels very awkward in his heart.

After a while, Hans felt that Tang Cheng didn't look like he was joking with him, so he had no choice but to nod and explain his true purpose to Tang Cheng and Pan. "Okay, I'll be honest with you! Henry wasn't just an arms dealer, he also worked for British intelligence, you know, Britain wasn't friendly with Germany!" When Hans finally said the word friendly, Tang Cheng secretly pouted, saying in his heart that it was not called unfriendly, but a mortal enemy!

Seeing that Tang Cheng did not interrupt his words, Hans, who paused slightly, continued, "I received news before, Henry has a list in his hand, I can't tell you what this list is, but this list is very important to me. Hans's answer was incomplete, but Tang Cheng could already see the difference in Hans's tone and expression, and it seemed that Hans really liked the list he was talking about.

"Alright, you don't have to go on, I don't have any interest in the list you said." Tang Cheng withdrew the lighter that had been put into the safe, dodged out of the safe, and stretched out his right hand to Hans and made a gesture of please. Tang Cheng was too strong before, so that after he let go of the safe, Hans was still stunned and didn't react immediately, and after being urged by Tang Cheng, Hans's face showed a happy color.

Henry's safe is actually not very large, so the storage is also very limited, Hans, who is happy, honestly and unceremoniously pulled out a drawer from the table next to him, just poured the fragments of the drawer on the ground, and put the contents of the safe into the empty drawer. After some careful selection, Hans picked out the things that were useful to him, and then pushed the other things to Tang Cheng along with the drawers.

"Don, my friend, that's what we agreed before. I'll take what I need, and the rest will be yours!" Tang Cheng was not polite to Hans, and reached out to take the drawer that Hans had pushed. Banknotes, gold bars, jewelry, these are what Tang Cheng needs most, as for the Browning pistol and a few bank passbooks, Tang Cheng has no interest in even looking at them.

"Don, this gun is almost brand new, and these passbooks, with a little thought, you can use them to withdraw money from the bank, why don't you want them?" Seeing this, Hans didn't know what he meant, and asked Tang Cheng with concern.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to spend this money when the time comes!" Tang Cheng's answer was simple, but it made Hans even more puzzled. Tang Cheng saw the pretense, so he had to collect the remaining banknotes and jewels in the safe, and patiently explain to Hans. "Although your men are very good, you can't leave no traces, since this Henry works for British intelligence, the British will definitely investigate this matter later."

"As you just said, the Browning is almost brand new, which almost means that the gun was used, how can you guarantee that the British do not have a ballistic record of this gun? If I take this gun and use it elsewhere, maybe the British will track me down from the ballistic data, and I don't want to take this risk! After all, I'm just an ordinary person, have you ever seen an ordinary person fight against a national intelligence organization? ”

"And those passbooks, there is a saying in China, that if you want people to know something, you can't do anything unless you don't know it. The meaning of this sentence is that if you think about something that others don't know you've done, you can't do it unless you don't do it. Of course, I know that there are many ways to use these passbooks to withdraw money from the bank, but I cannot afford to take the risk of that, because if one link goes wrong, I will bear all the consequences of this operation tonight. ”

After saying these words, Tang Cheng squinted at Hans, and Hans's expression gradually changed with Tang Cheng's narration. Seeing Tang Cheng staring at him with squinting eyes, Hans, who was in a cold sweat on his back, had to apologize to Tang Cheng, "Don, I'm sorry, it's because I didn't think about it enough!" But please believe me, what I just said was not malicious. I just didn't think about it as carefully as you did, and I take back those words just now, and I ask you to forgive me!"

Hans's apology, in Tang Cheng's opinion, was not worthy of his secret joy, because deep down in Tang Cheng's heart, he had never really believed Hans. "Forget it, you just said those things unintentionally, but I look at the way you just looked, you and your subordinates must have done such things. It's better to do this, I'll hand over these bank passbooks to you, and you can find a way to withdraw money from the bank, and I'll only need to do the three, and the rest will be yours. ”

Hans, who was stretched out by Tang Cheng to wrap his hand around his shoulder, froze at the moment, but he had just heard Tang Cheng say that he was not interested in these bank passbooks. Tang Cheng's ability to change his face in the blink of an eye made Hans not react at all for a while, until Tang Cheng reached out and stuffed the bank passbooks into Hans's arms. "Don... You're this... Didn't you just say—" Hans stammered before he could finish his sentence when Tang Cheng waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Alright, now is not the time to dwell on these little things, after all, we are still standing in the place where people are standing. I've pretty much got everything I need to take, and I said, let's get out of here first! Other things, we can talk about it after we go back, my body feels slimy and uncomfortable, and I am in a hurry to go back to take a shower. Tang Cheng, who had blood stains on his clothes, just wiped the blood spots off his face, and when he said this at the moment, Hans seemed to have some truth in listening.

casually pulled a dark coat on the hanger in the room and put it on his body, Tang Cheng walked out of the room with a bulging cloth bag, and Hans thought about it for a few seconds, and then realized that he was being tricked by Tang Cheng. Back in the backyard warehouse, Hans's men had already cleaned up the place, all the corpses and munitions were loaded into trucks, and the short knives belonging to Tang Cheng were also cleaned up and put aside.

"How? I'm not wrong before, I'm still very capable!" Seeing Tang Cheng's picture of looking around for traces, Hans who came downstairs was very proud. Tang Cheng glanced at Hans angrily, walked over and picked up those short knives and inserted them back into his belt, as for the Japanese-style long knife, Hans asked Tang Cheng a question. "How did you bring this in? When we were in the attic, I didn't see this long knife!"

Tang Cheng had already guessed that Hans might ask about this long knife, so he just said with an indifferent expression, "This knife is not mine, and I don't know where these Englishmen got it, it just happened to be cheap for me!" Tang Cheng's answer made Hans's eyes flicker. However, Hans carefully recalled that when he was in the attic, he did not see Tang Cheng carrying a long knife like this, and then thought of the list in Henry's hand, maybe this long knife was really Henry's.

Tang Cheng knew that if he said too much, he would lose, so after putting away the long knife, he walked towards the door. The thing he promised Hans has been done, and even if he stays in the warehouse, he is afraid that he will not be able to help much. By the end of about half an hour, there was no trace of it in the backyard warehouse, and everything to be taken away was loaded into the truck. Hans took one last look to make sure there was no trace, then waved his hand, and the two trucks started and left the backyard warehouse one after the other.

"Don, come to the restaurant tomorrow, I'll have something ready for you." Tang Cheng refused Hans's kindness and just waved goodbye to Hans on the side of the road, but before Tang Cheng left, Hans made a special remark to remind Tang Cheng. Seeing Hans and his party disappear into the night, Tang Cheng's right hand moved, and the heavy cloth bag and the long knife he had been carrying were instantly put into his portable equipment bag, and Tang Cheng was empty-handed at this moment, completely indistinguishable from ordinary passers-by.

"Boss, this person is terrible, Henry and a dozen of them, they were actually quietly solved by that person with a cold weapon" The black car following the truck slowly drove around the corner, and under the cover of the street lamp, Hans's face looked serious. The middle-aged man sitting in the front passenger seat of the sedan turned to look at Hans, and his words were full of wariness of Tang Cheng.

"He is indeed very powerful, Joseph also said that this Tang Cheng is very capable, it is said that this Tang Cheng had commanded a special investigation team of the police department in Nanjing before, and helped the intelligence department of the Nationalist Government to capture many Japanese spies lurking in Nanjing." The middle-aged man's reminder made Hans nod and speak. "Originally, I wanted to test Tang Cheng through tonight's actions, but I didn't expect that he would bring me such a big surprise! According to the information gathered by Joseph's side, this Tang Cheng must have come to Shanghai for some purpose, and I guess it must have something to do with his injured uncle. ”

Hans has always worked for the German intelligence department, and the particularity of intelligence work has made Hans doubt Tang Cheng's identity early on, especially Zhang Jianghe, who has been missing his arm, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person. Hans originally thought that Tang Cheng's uncle and nephew were common people in distress in Shanghai, but after the outbreak of the Izakaya murder in Hongkou District, Hans immediately guessed Tang Cheng's body, after all, Tang Cheng had bought an MP18*** from himself.

Tonight's action was a temptation, especially the Japanese long knife that appeared on the scene, which only intensified Hans's suspicions. It's just that Tang Cheng's explanation is impeccable, after all, when he was in the attic, he didn't see Tang Cheng carrying the long knife with him.
