Chapter 113: The Murderous House

Tang Cheng, who took away the pistol of the shopkeeper of the oil mill at the corner of the street and fired a warning shot, had already appeared at the snack stall outside the secret stronghold of the Chongqing underground party at this time, and was leisurely eating the red oil that had just come out of the pot. Tang Cheng, who was sitting at the food stall, didn't see anything unusual, and a young man of his age did look harmless.

Tang Cheng, who was eating and copying his hands, did not look around, and the small food stall owner who would glance at him from time to time gradually relaxed and soon stopped paying attention to Tang Cheng. Chasing the oil mill shopkeeper all the way here, Tang Cheng already knew that the target was the courtyard across the street, but the small food stall he was stretching out at the moment was probably also a stronghold of the Chongqing underground party, perhaps to protect the courtyard across the street.

A bowl of red oil was eaten quickly, Tang Cheng casually put down a banknote, and got up to leave. In addition to the small food stalls behind him, Tang City, which strolled along the street, soon found several suspicious places and people. Could it be that the courtyard I noticed just now is the location of the important organ of the underground party in Chongqing? Seeing the suspicious people and places that appeared in this street one after another, Tang Cheng's mind was full of questions and surprises.

Tang Cheng returned to the safe house, it was more than an hour later, and most of the veteran policemen who went out to perform daily surveillance tasks had also changed their first shifts. "Captain, there is news from Surveillance Point 3 that the target they are monitoring has changed." Tang Cheng just came back, and Zhao Dashan immediately took the information that had just been preliminarily summarized. When Tang Cheng heard this, he stretched out his hand to take the information that Zhao Dashan brought, but after reading the content related to the No. 3 target, a sly smile appeared on Tang Cheng's face.

"Well done! It's this surnamed Zhu, last time he led people to the garrison to make trouble, I'll see if he has anything to say this time! "The No. 3 target is a newspaper editor named Zhu Daguang. When the Tangcheng Joint Garrison Regiment carried out the strike-hard operation in the urban area, it was this newspaper editor named Zhu Daguang who went so far as to say in the newspaper that the garrison regiment's strike-hard operation violated military regulations and was an act of reckless human life.

Although the strike hard operation ended hastily because of the protests of Zhu Daguang and others, it also made Wang Bingzhang and others feel as disgusting as eating a dead fly, and Tang Cheng sent people to secretly monitor this Zhu Daguang, just to teach this guy who stirred like a stick. "Let's go, let's go!" Tang Cheng, who was suddenly interested, immediately took Zhao Dashan and a few veteran policemen to the No. 3 surveillance point, and when they arrived at the No. 3 surveillance point, they found that only one person was left in the group of veteran policemen who were originally in the No. 3 surveillance point.

"Captain, there was a woman who came to look for the target before, and the two left together after a quarter of an hour, and the team leader led someone to follow." The old policeman who stayed at the monitoring point saw that Tang Cheng personally brought people over, so he roughly told him about the known situation, and learned that the target took a woman all the way to the east, and a smile immediately appeared on Tang Cheng's face, it seems that this Zhu Daguang can't bear it, and there must be something wrong with the woman who came to him.

Zhu Daguang didn't know that he had been secretly watched, and at this moment he was rushing to the place where he had met someone last time, and the woman beside him was reminding Zhu Daguang all the time, which made him feel a little uneasy in his heart. "Mr. Zhu, what's wrong with you?" As if sensing Zhu Daguang's absent-mindedness, the young woman walking beside him asked softly. Zhu Daguang naturally couldn't say what he was thinking, so he just prevaricated, and the young woman's brows were already slightly furrowed.

Tang Cheng waited in the No. 3 surveillance point, and it was not until almost 2 hours that the old policeman who was tracking the target came back with the news. "Captain, we followed the target all the way to a courtyard in the east of the city, the team leader felt that the courtyard looked very suspicious, he continued to lead people to stare at the courtyard, and first asked me to come back and ask someone to come over to help." The old policeman who returned to the monitoring point seemed to be a little anxious, and Tang Cheng didn't say much, so he immediately led someone over.

"Captain, this Xie Mansion was originally a timber merchant's house, half a year ago, this timber merchant's family was violently ill, and then it was bought by a person named Xie Baokun. I don't know what's going on, but the people who live in this area gradually began to spread rumors that this mansion was a murderous house. Tang Cheng led people to the mansion where the target entered, and the old police captain who stayed in place had already inquired about some news from the surroundings, although it was not comprehensive, but it was enough for Tang Dynasty to make a preliminary judgment.

"Your judgment is correct, there is indeed something wrong with this mansion, but it is not haunted, it seems that someone is deliberately pretending to be a ghost." Tang Cheng never believed in ghosts and gods, even if he came to this era to be magical, he didn't believe that there were ghosts and gods in this world. Tang Cheng, who has watched countless criminal investigation film and television dramas in later generations, is simply disdainful of this kind of market rumors, but he has his own judgment on the reason for the rumors.

"Pretending to be a ghost? Captain, do you mean that the rumors around here were deliberately made up by someone? Zhao Dashan's expression looked a little weird, he couldn't think of how Tang Cheng made a judgment so quickly, and he insisted that those rumors were just because someone was pretending to be a ghost.

"Yes, the people who spread those rumors may not know about it, but the people who created these rumors must be the people in this house." Stepping on the knees of the old policeman under his hands, Tang Cheng had already quietly observed the situation in the courtyard from the wall, looking at the situation in the courtyard, it was not like no one was moving in. Since it is not a courtyard that has been abandoned, then the rumors of the murderous mansion have no credibility, and the only explanation is that the people in this mansion do not want people in the neighborhood to notice it.

Tang Cheng just glanced at the courtyard from the wall a few times, and immediately asked his old policemen to disperse, since Zhu Daguang was brought to this courtyard that was called a murderous mansion, then next, this courtyard will become a new surveillance target for the investigation team. Zhu Daguang stayed in this courtyard for more than three hours, and when he came out again, the young woman who brought him was nowhere to be seen, but Zhu Daguang had an extra briefcase in his hand.

"Find a pickpocket, I want to know what is in Zhu Daguang's briefcase." Tang Cheng saw the briefcase in Zhu Daguang's hand at a glance, and looking at Zhu Daguang's action of carrying the briefcase, the briefcase should have some weight. A crackdown operation has made the hooligans and pickpockets in Chongqing almost disappear, but if the investigation team wants to find a pickpocket to help, it is not difficult. Zhu Daguang walked to his residence with his briefcase, although he was already very careful, he was still only two streets away from his residence, and was hit by a pickpocket found by Zhao Dashan.

Zhu Daguang was very careful with the briefcase in his hand, and the pickpockets found by Zhao Dashan had nothing to do, not only did the pickpockets who offended Zhao Dashan have to rob hard. "Catch the thief! Someone is robbing something! Zhu Daguang, who was robbed of his briefcase, stood stunned for a moment, and immediately opened his throat and shouted. There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, but no one stood up to help Zhu Daguang stop the person who grabbed the bag, and Zhu Daguang, who knew what was in the briefcase, had to catch up by himself.

With Zhu Daguang's shouting, passers-by on the street dodged one after another, the pickpocket with the briefcase in his hand ran faster and faster, but the already weak Zhu Daguang chased slower and slower, and soon, Zhu Daguang watched the person who snatched his briefcase disappear into the corner. Zhao Dashan, who was still worried that things would change, even changed into a police uniform in advance, but he didn't need to come forward. "Chief Zhao, this is what you want, if there is nothing else, then I will leave first!"

The pickpocket who was asked by Zhao Dashan to help carefully accompanied the smiling face and handed the briefcase with the gun to Zhao Dashan in the alley. "Wait!" Zhao Dashan, who took the briefcase, stopped the pickpocket who was about to leave. "Mao Jiu, when did you kid see that my old Zhao was not doing things properly!" As he spoke, Zhao Dashan took out a few banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them to the other party, and then made a sealing gesture at the other party, and the pickpocket who took the banknotes smiled and nodded again and again.

Tang Cheng quickly saw the briefcase that Zhu Daguang had been carrying, nodded, and Tang Cheng motioned for Zhao Dashan to open the briefcase. The style of the briefcase that Zhu Daguang took out from the courtyard was ordinary, but the things that Zhao Dashan took out of the briefcase were not ordinary. "Hey, that's a lot of money!"

There were six gold bars taken out of the briefcase, 40 pieces from the ocean, and a gold watch. Knowing that there were no other items in the briefcase, Tang Cheng waved his hand, "Seal these things first, and then dispose of them after the case is over!" "Among these things, the most valuable thing is the gold watch, Zhao Dashan had already pushed the gold bar to Tang Cheng's hand, but Tang Cheng refused." asked someone to keep an eye on that courtyard carefully, I guess Zhu Daguang lost something, maybe he will go there. ”

Tang Cheng guessed well, Zhu Daguang, who lost his briefcase, really went to the courtyard again, but this time there was no young woman with him, and Zhu Daguang didn't go to the courtyard at all. The old policeman in the surveillance point could clearly see that Zhu Daguang standing outside the gate of the courtyard had a pause in his speech, but the surveillance point was a little far away, and they did not hear what Zhu Daguang said outside the gate of the courtyard.

"This Zhu Daguang is just a waste snack, reduce the monitoring of him, transfer all the manpower to the murderous mansion, and find out what is going on in the murderous mansion as soon as possible!" Zhu Daguang's performance had already made Tang Cheng lose interest in him, but it was this murderous mansion that suddenly appeared that Tang Cheng would never forget. "Now that we have confirmed that there are people living in that courtyard, then we should find out the details and identities of these people, so as not to cause trouble when we act."
