Chapter 63: Anxiety
Tang Cheng had a system prompt, and it was easy to find the room where the short-haired woman was, but after he removed the roof tiles, the voice that came from the room under his feet told Tang Cheng that there were at least four people in the room at his feet. Tang Cheng, who could already hear the sound clearly, clinged his body to the roof, and looked silently at the situation in the room below him through the gap in the tiles he had just opened.
In the room under Tang Cheng, there were indeed four people, in addition to the man and three women who were chased by the group of men in tunics before, there was also an old man in a short shirt with a goatee. "I don't know what's wrong, but according to what you just said, I'm afraid I'm not safe here either! You stay here first, I've already arranged for someone to go out to inquire about the news, and when it gets dark, I'll arrange for you to be transferred. The one who spoke at this moment was the old man in a short shirt with a goatee.
Tang Cheng, who was lying on the roof, shrank his eyes, and according to the tone of the old man with a goatee, this person was obviously the person in charge of this contact point. Tang Cheng immediately shifted his gaze and focused on the short-haired woman, but the short-haired woman didn't say a word at the moment, and the other people in the room didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the short-haired woman. After a while, the old man with the goatee left the room, and the remaining three sighed secretly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shuhua, if you hadn't notified the two of us in time this time, maybe the two of us would have been caught by them like Lao Zhang in the bookstore." At this moment, it was the man who was being pursued in the room, and Tang Cheng, who was lying on the roof, clearly saw that the person this man was talking to was the short-haired woman who was paying close attention to him. The short-haired woman who had not made a sound, at this time, finally had a reaction.
"Brother Ma, this is why I happened to pass by over there, and I happened to see a person hiding a pistol under his clothes, I didn't know who they were at the time, but I didn't see something wrong. I didn't know what to think at the time, so I smashed your window with fruit, if you hadn't reacted quickly, maybe they would have blocked the bookstore, and now I don't know what happened to Uncle Zhang. The short-haired woman's voice sounded very pleasant, but Tang Cheng's attention was not on that.
According to the conversation between this short-haired woman and the man and woman at the moment, Tang Cheng judged that the three of them were already very familiar with each other, otherwise when the man called each other just now, he should have even his first name and surname. Moreover, this short-haired woman called the bookstore owner uncle, which was obviously the reason why she often went to that bookstore, and based on what she had heard, Tang Cheng judged that this short-haired woman was likely to be a reserve member of the Chongqing underground party that was developing.
Tang Cheng, who was lying on the roof, pouted secretly at this moment, saying that things were not easy to do, if this short-haired woman was a reserve member of the development of the Chongqing underground party organization, the people at this contact point would not be too suspicious of the identity of the short-haired woman. A well-trained intelligence agent sometimes does not need to touch the so-called classified documents and materials at all, and it is possible to obtain the information he wants from some daily conversations, and Tang Cheng is worried that this short-haired woman is such a person.
Time passed little by little, and the three people in the house didn't say anything sensitive, just chatted about some gossip, and Tang Cheng on the roof had long been a little impatient to listen. The old man with the goatee who had left before suddenly came back at this time and brought back bad news. "I just got the news that the bookstore has been closed by them, and Lao Zhang... Sacrificed! The old Zhang in the mouth of the old man with the goatee is the owner of the bookstore, and he is also the one who fights to the end with guns in order to cover the retreat of the man and woman.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy, and even Tang Cheng on the roof felt that his nose was faintly sour. "The bookstore has just opened, and it is said that it should not be exposed, and the person I sent to inquire about the news said that it was the people from Zhongtong who arrested people, and their posture was aimed at the bookstore at first glance!" The old man's words made the atmosphere in the room even more weird, they were all veterans who had been engaged in underground work for a long time, how could they not hear the meaning of the old man's words.
Those who are in the underground party are most afraid of betrayal by a traitor, and often the appearance of a traitor may lead to the exposure of the identity of a whole line of people. Tang Cheng paid more attention to the short-haired woman's reaction at the moment, but it was a pity that the other party lowered his head, and Tang Cheng couldn't see the other party's facial expression at all. Before I knew it, it was lunch time, and Tang Cheng had been lying on the roof for almost 2 hours. From the conversation of several people in the room, it was learned that the man and the three women would leave here after dark, Tang Cheng simply got up and left.
"Where have you been?" Tang Cheng returned to the barracks when he was called to the office by Zhang Jianghe. According to Zhang Jianghe's understanding of Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng left alone silently, something must have happened. There were other people in Zhang Jianghe's office, and Tang Cheng couldn't tell the truth, so he could only deal with it with hum. Tang Cheng's abnormality made Zhang Jianghe frown secretly, and then motioned for the others in the office to leave, and then raised his eyes to look at Tang Cheng.
The meaning of Zhang Jianghe's actions was already very obvious, and Tang Cheng immediately took a few steps forward and whispered to Zhang Jianghe. "I should have come back a long time ago, but on the way back, I happened to meet the actions of the Central Union. I thought it was okay left and right, so I quietly followed and took a look, and guess what? There were more than a dozen sought-after players in the Central Union, but they couldn't catch up with a man and two women, and they chased all the way in vain, shooting and warning threats, and finally they were run away. ”
When Tang Cheng spoke, although he didn't stare at Zhang Jianghe directly, the corner of his eye kept paying attention to Zhang Jianghe's reaction. The main opponents of the Central Unification are the underground party organizations in various localities, and nine out of ten of the people they hunt down are underground parties. Sure enough, out of the corner of Tang Cheng's eyes, he clearly saw that Zhang Jianghe's expression changed slightly. Tang Cheng said this to Zhang Jianghe, just to inform Zhang Jianghe about the bookstore, so he didn't need Zhang Jianghe to bother with his own words, Tang Cheng chose to take the initiative to inform.
"Today's actions of the Central Union should have been planned a long time ago, and they appeared quickly. However, the people in the bookstore were not slow to react, and I heard the sound of gunshots, and it should have been the people in the bookstore who shot back. The man and the three women who escaped, I saw that something was wrong, and there was a woman with short hair in it, who was too calm. When Tang Cheng said this, he deliberately made a pause, and after lighting a cigarette, he continued.
"Although Zhongtong has set up an office in the city, they don't have many eyes and ears in the city, and I don't think it's possible to say that it is a bookstore that they are directly targeting. According to my understanding of them, what Zhongtong is best at is still using high-ranking officials to plot against internal traitors. "Tang Cheng's words, speaking of which, are over. He has already said what he should say, and the rest can only rely on Zhang Jiang and himself to understand.
"You mean, there's something wrong with the short-haired woman?" Zhang Jianghe was obviously not stupid, and immediately guessed Tang Cheng's meaning from Tang Cheng's words just now. When Zhang Jianghe had not yet been transferred out of the Nanjing headquarters, the underground party organization in Nanjing had been repeatedly sabotaged by the Central Union, and they also used the means of plotting against the traitors. Tang Cheng's words can be regarded as a reminder to Zhang Jianghe, and Tang Cheng's vision and means to distinguish Japanese puppet spies are something that Zhang Jianghe will never doubt.
"I'm not saying that the short-haired woman is a traitor in the underground party, anyway, I just feel that something is wrong with her!" Tang Cheng told the truth, he was not 100% sure that the short-haired woman was really a mole. "She is very suspicious, judging by the shape of her walking, she should have practiced martial arts. And I took Lao Fu with her for a while, and found that this woman also has a little anti-reconnaissance means, the most important thing is that the people in Zhongtong appeared too suddenly, and everything seems to have been arranged in advance! ”
Later, Zhang Jianghe, who learned the name of the bookstore from Tang Cheng, felt a faint pain in his heart, because he knew that the bookstore was a secret contact point for the underground party organization in Chongqing. After Zhang Jianghe regained contact with his superiors, although Zhang Jianghe did not have direct contact with the Chongqing underground party organization, Zhang Jianghe had in his possession a copy of the information on several secret contact points of the Chongqing underground party organization in the city, and if Zhang Jianghe encountered a danger that could not be resolved, he could urgently contact the Chongqing underground party organization for help through these secret contact points.
Unexpectedly, before he contacted these contact points, the bookstore had already been destroyed, although Zhang Jianghe's face was not revealed, but his heart was already in turmoil. Tang Cheng didn't speak, he had already guessed some of Zhang Jianghe's mental activities from the changes in Zhang Jianghe's eyes. After smoking a cigarette, Tang Cheng opened his mouth to break the silence in the office, "Uncle, Zhongtong suddenly made such a move, obviously he made a lot of preparations!" ”
"I was on the scene, people, they didn't catch it, I just don't know if they have a follow-up move. If I were to direct such an arrest operation, I would definitely not be in the nest, I only needed to quietly let go of a hole when I was arresting, deliberately let go of a few unimportant small characters, and then send someone to stare at them, and then follow the vine to touch the melon, and I will definitely be able to catch a big fish. When Tang Cheng said these words, he deliberately smiled and looked out of tune, as if he was joking.
When Tang Cheng spoke, he looked like he was joking, but Zhang Jianghe had already listened to his words in his heart. Pondering Tang Cheng's words just now, Zhang Jianghe was secretly shocked, if the arrangement of Zhongtong was the same as what Tang Cheng just said, the three men and women who escaped by luck might be small characters deliberately released by Zhongtong, and they were just ready to follow the vine.
