Chapter 17 Blessings and Misfortunes

"Captain, I'll toast you!" In a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Tang Cheng was changing glasses with a group of old policemen under him, who were almost all old fritters in various police stations, and such old fritters were not valued by their superiors. Transferred to Tang Cheng, these old policemen once thought that they might have no future, but in just a few days, they have been acting continuously under the command of Tang Cheng, which undoubtedly made them see the opportunity to get ahead after being messed around all day.

Tang Cheng's alcohol consumption was not very large, but he did not refuse the toast of his old policemen, looking at the attitude of these old fritters towards him, Tang Cheng knew that he had initially won the approval of these old foxes. After three rounds of drinking, Tang Cheng clinked glasses with a few people one after another, and then he said with a straight face, "The intelligence department has basically determined that the two people we sent over are Japanese spies, especially when we found the radio station and code book from Ma San's rented house, this is the best evidence." ”

Tang Cheng's voice was not loud, and everyone present stopped their movements and listened carefully. "The original intention of setting up this investigation team was to eliminate the Japanese spies lurking in the city, and this is what I did in Nanjing before I came to Chongqing." Tang Cheng's words made everyone present suddenly realize, no wonder a small sheriff in Tang Cheng would have such rights, and he dared to be specially transferred from Nanjing!

"It has long been concluded in Nanjing that there will be a war between China and Japan. Before the war starts, intelligence work will be carried out first, and from the beginning of the war, intelligence work is the most important thing. If we go to the battlefield, we may only drag down our comrades, but we are also serving the front by clearing out enemy spies in the rear. As he spoke, Tang Cheng took out a stack of bills from his pocket and threw it on the table.

"We are an investigation team, and we are still part of the police system, and you can also receive a salary in your original unit during the investigation team. You don't have a salary to get during your time on the investigation team, but we do have a bonus here. According to my agreement with the Chongqing Station of the Intelligence Department, as long as the people we capture are considered Japanese spies by the Chongqing Station, for each target, we can get a bonus of 100 yuan issued by the Chongqing Station, find the radio station and the code book, and issue additional bonuses. ”

"Here's 500 yuan, 200 yuan is the target bonus, 300 yuan is the bonus for finding the radio station and the code book, and you will divide the money in a moment." Although Tang Cheng took out 500 pieces of fiat currency at the moment, it was not the time for the fiat currency to depreciate greatly, although the purchasing power of the fiat currency was not as good as before, but 500 yuan was still a large amount. Tang Cheng secretly looked around at everyone's expressions, and secretly remembered the reactions of several of them, if these people could pass their own assessments, they would be the backbone of the investigation team in the future.

"I'm actually very easy to get along with, and I won't interfere in your private life, but I will never allow my subordinates to smoke and gamble. After the investigation team, they will face the Japanese spies lurking in the city, and these shady Japanese spies will have all kinds of tricks to win over and corrupt people from various industries to act as their eyes, and maybe they will find you, I only advise you, don't be traitors, otherwise the end will be miserable. ”

Tang Cheng's words were said with a smile, but the old policemen present saw a strong anger in Tang Cheng's eyes, and everyone present would never really think that Tang Cheng was a very good person. Tang Cheng invited this guest, getting closer to these old policemen was only secondary, and beating them with words was the main purpose. Today, they have already been divided twice, and Tang Cheng is worried that some of these old policemen will get carried away and ruin their own affairs.

Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged people are everywhere, so Tang Cheng is not worried about arousing the rebellious psychology of these old policemen because of his beating. It turned out that Tang Cheng's worries were unnecessary, and in the days after the banquet, Tang Cheng secretly observed the actions and reactions of his veteran policemen, but did not find anyone who got carried away afterwards and spread the news of the investigation team to outsiders. After two days of continuous observation, Tang Cheng, who had not found anything unusual, finally put his mind at ease, and immediately turned his energy back to the work of touching and arranging in the city.

Hasegawa, who is known as Ma San, and Yuko Tanaka, who is known as Tanaka Qi, have been arrested one after another, but Tang Cheng did not find information about the other members of the intelligence team from the two, and the only secret contact point found from Hasegawa's consciousness was that the investigation team squatted for several days, but there was no gain. "Captain, I'm afraid this is not a problem, we can't keep waiting so stupidly, after a long time, the brothers are afraid that they will not be able to endure it." Zhao Dashan was elected by several other people to make suggestions to Tang Cheng, and after two consecutive days of non-stop squatting, Zhao Dashan and the others were already a little unable to hold on.

Tang Cheng, who had been guarding the window, did not look back, but looked from the window to the window on the other side of the street without blinking, but whispered in his mouth. "Where is this! When I was in Nanjing last year, I once squatted in an attic for a whole week in order to catch a fish that slipped through the net. By the time I caught someone, I was about to stink, and now we still have food and drink, and we don't have to brave the wind and rain, so let's wait. ”

Tang Cheng wouldn't directly say that he was seventy percent sure of this, because the room across the street was the only place where Hasegawa connected to his upline. And Zhao Dashan didn't know that Hasegawa would only come here every other week to meet with the upline. Tang Cheng, who knew the inside story, deliberately entered here two days in advance to squat in order to train these old policemen, and Zhao Dashan didn't know that the day when the target really appeared was tomorrow.

It was boring to beg here in Tang City, and Zhao Dashan didn't come to talk to Tang Cheng again, but as time went by, Zhao Dashan's faces were full of exhaustion. The long-term squatting, for Zhao Dashan, who just wasted time on weekdays, was no less than an endless ordeal, and when it came to changing shifts at night, three of them finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked Tang Cheng to quit the investigation team.

"It doesn't matter, but I want to remind you that once you leave the investigation team, there is no possibility of coming back." Tang Cheng looked at the three old policemen who wanted to quit calmly, without anger or disappointment. Tang Cheng turned his gaze to Zhao Dashan and the others again, and said with the same calm face. "It is impossible for the investigation team to keep tracking and raiding the house, and in the future, they may have to exchange fire with the Japanese spies with real knives and guns, and then some people will inevitably be injured and killed, and it is still too late for you to leave now."

Tang Cheng deliberately put on an attitude of leaving casually, but he was actually a little apprehensive in his heart, if Zhao Dashan and they all chose to leave, he would have to sit on wax. Just glanced at each other a few times, perhaps because of Tang Cheng's presence, Zhao Dashan and the others did not say anything, but stood silently beside Tang Cheng and did not move their positions, Tang Cheng was relieved. "As long as I take command of the investigation team for one day, the benefits I mentioned before will not be less, but you must follow my command unconditionally."

After the investigation team experienced this time, there were exactly 20 people who were still willing to follow Tang Cheng at the moment, and Tang Cheng divided the 20 veteran policemen into three teams according to the scale of six people per team, leaving only Zhao Dashan, who had been in the police for the longest time, and Kang Shun, who was in charge of finance, by his side. At noon the next day, the target that Tang Cheng had been waiting for finally appeared, and when he saw the figure that appeared in that room in the telescope, Tang Cheng, who was standing sideways in front of the window, secretly cheered in his heart, you finally appeared!

The figure that appears in the Tangcheng telescope is a middle-aged man wearing a plain caftan of this color and style, which is very popular in Chongqing and is generally not particularly noticed. The man in the long shirt seemed to be very cautious, and it had been a few minutes since he entered the room, but he had never appeared in front of the window, and Tang Cheng could only see a back in the binoculars. "Uncle Zhao, inform the first team that the target has appeared, a man of medium height in a plain robe." Tang Cheng handed over the telescope to Kang Shun, and while explaining to Zhao Dashan, he began to change his clothes.

The man in the long shirt did not drain in that room for a long time, and Hasegawa's absence seemed to have made the man in the long shirt vigilant, and he immediately chose to leave immediately. Tang Cheng had already gone downstairs, and he was staying in a shoe store on the street at the moment, and it didn't take much effort to do it, and an old policeman under Tang Cheng also appeared in the shoe store, and the first team in charge of the first round of stalking had already confirmed that the target did not change his outfit.

Tang Cheng, who received the report, immediately left the shoe store and began to move all the way east along the street, and more than 30 meters in front of him was the target who had changed into a short shirt. The goal of changing the outfit so quickly is nothing more than wearing a short shirt under the plain kaftan before the appearance of this product, and the target only needs to take off the plain kaftan on his body when the situation is in crisis, and the goal of changing the outfit can be achieved immediately.

This method of quickly changing his outfit was used many times by Tang Cheng when he was in Nanjing, so when he received the report from his old policeman, Tang Cheng was not surprised by this, if there was no small means, how could he be sent to the Guotong area to lurk. Seeing the members of the first team rubbing shoulders with the figure in front of him and making a gesture of confirmation, Tang Cheng immediately activated the target locking skill and locked on to the target from more than 20 meters away.

The target locked by Tang Cheng with the system skill, as long as the distance between Tang Cheng and Tang Cheng is no more than 100 meters in a straight line, it will definitely not be able to escape Tang Cheng's tracking. An hour later, Tang Cheng, who was following the target all the way, appeared at the door of a teahouse, just looking at the situation in the teahouse, it seemed to be a place where the Jianghu robe buddies met every day. Brother Pao's power is very big in Chongqing, and Tang Cheng doesn't want to really clash with the local Brother Pao forces in Chongqing at the moment, but if this Yunlai teahouse is related to the Japanese intelligence team, Tang Cheng will have to compete with this teahouse.
