The connector didn't show up on time, and Li Muxin and the others were about to leave here immediately, but Tang Cheng's sudden appearance made Li Muxin and the others have to stop. Originally, Ran Jing was still very complaining about Tang Cheng in his heart, thinking that he had delayed the time for the two of them to get out of danger, but after hearing Tang Cheng say that there were more gendarmes outside the hotel, Ran Jing realized that if Tang Cheng's appearance had not caused the two of them to stop, maybe the two of them would have been taken away by the military police outside the hotel.

"You shouldn't be here without a purpose, I guess, you must have come to New Asia Hotel with a mission!" Seeing that Li Muxin and the two of them didn't speak, Tang Cheng said with a smile. "Seeing that you don't seem to have come here to kill people, then there can only be one explanation, you are here to find people or connect with people. But looking at the current situation, I'm afraid that the people you have to wait for will not appear, and looking at the military police increased outside, you can know the Japanese control over the New Asia Hotel. ”

For such a long time, no one showed up, and without Tang Cheng's reminder, Li Muxin knew that there must have been an accident. "What the hell do you want to do?" Tang Cheng said so much, and Li Muxin could see that the person in front of him was definitely not here to hang out. Li Muxin finally began to get down to business, and Tang Cheng's face was also pale, changing his previous smiling face, and telling Li Muxin and the two of them his intentions.

"Anyway, you two can't get out of here safely now, and I need assistants for my side of the operation, so it's better for you two to help me first. After the operation on my side is over, I will provide you with a batch of supplies free of charge, medicines, weapons or electrical materials, you can choose as you like. "Li Muxin and Ran Jing are both members of the underground party, and Tang Cheng naturally has no need to hide them in the face of them.

"Actually, I don't need you to do anything too dangerous, the specific action is still for me to finish alone, but I need your help, after I start the operation, you will create panic in the hotel and help me get out." Tang Cheng did not carefully say the specific steps and content of the action, because at this moment, he was not sure whether Li Muxin and Ran Jing would agree to help him. Li Muxin and Ran Jing glanced at each other silently, they were already trapped here, if the connector didn't appear, their trip would be in vain.

But after all, they are members of the Shanghai Underground Party, even if Tang Cheng is not from the Intelligence Department, if they rashly agree to help Tang Cheng, they may be examined by their superiors afterwards, and they are likely to cause trouble for the Shanghai Underground Party because of this matter. Seeing that Li Muxin and Ran Jing's expressions were faintly embarrassed, Tang Cheng pretended to be relaxed. "I know you have concerns, after all, you are all organized people, unlike me, who can do whatever you want."

"But I don't need you to do too much, just when the time comes, just cooperate with me a little." As he spoke, Tang Cheng took out two matchbox-sized cartons from his pocket and handed them to Li Muxin. "These are two cigarette boxes, and when you use them, you just need to pull this red thread next to the box, and there will be smoke coming out of the box. When you hear the gunshots, all you have to do is go to the place where the people are gathered and release the two cigarette boxes, and you don't care about the rest. ”

The cigarette box Tang Cheng took out was only the size of a matchbox, Li Muxin and Ran Jing stared at it for a while, and they didn't see the reason, but they just helped put in the two cigarette boxes, and Li Muxin and Ran Jing's expressions loosened a lot. Tang Cheng didn't want to convince these two underground party members at one time, and the other party could agree to help put the cigarette box, which was already beyond Tang Cheng's prediction, and Tang Cheng did not plan to ask Li Muxin and the two to be deeply involved in the next thing.

"Can you trust this man?" Until Tang Cheng left, the connector still did not appear, and Ran Jing, who had closed the door, turned around and looked at Li Muxin. Compared with Li Muxin, Ran Jing has always been skeptical of what Tang Cheng just said. Since the New Asia Hotel has been strictly controlled by the gendarmerie, Ran Jing felt that it was difficult to assassinate the person protected by the gendarmes in such an environment, and Ran Jing didn't think that the person just now could do it.

Li Muxin fell into deep thought, just now he had already stood at the window and observed outside, there were indeed many Japanese military police outside the hotel. It was not a wise move for them to leave the New Asia Hotel at this time, since it was not safe to leave the hotel, they had to continue to stay here. Whether you believe the other party or not, it doesn't matter now, since the other party can find the door, it is already known about the identity of the underground party of the two of them.

Whether Li Muxin and Ran Jing would believe in themselves or not, Tang Cheng didn't care at all, he just wanted to find two temporary assistants, even if Li Muxin and the two refused, Tang Cheng would not have anything to lose. Leaving Li Muxin's room, Tang Cheng climbed out of the window at the end of the corridor, then slid down the rope to the first floor, and quietly returned to the toilet on the first floor. Being able to sneak into the New Asia Hotel, Tang Cheng didn't think about leaving easily, because this was the only way he could get close to Shimakawa.

The Japanese army strengthened the control of the New Asia Hotel and its surroundings, Tang Cheng did not know if this was because Shimakawa was about to arrive in Shanghai, and in the patient waiting, another day passed, and tomorrow was the day Shimakawa arrived in Shanghai. After a day's work, Tang Cheng did not choose to look for Li Muxin and the others again, but quietly left the dormitory on the first floor of the hotel after nightfall, and began to look for an evacuation route that might come in handy.

Because of the schedule made by the Gendarmerie Command to Shimakawa, Tang Cheng decided to assassinate him in the New Asia Hotel, but how to leave the hotel safely became an important matter that Tang Cheng had to determine tonight. Avoiding the Japanese military police that appeared around the hotel at any time, Tang Cheng didn't have to make much effort at all, he determined a retreat route for himself, and even the temporary hiding places, he had already found two places.

Tang Cheng, who returned to the hotel dormitory the same way, repeated the deduction in his mind, from the beginning of the operation to the safe retreat, he repeated the deduction more than ten times, and finally decided to carry out the operation against the target in the New Asia Hotel. According to the schedule of the Military Police Command, after Shimakawa arrives in Shanghai, he will organize a welcome reception for Shimakawa at the New Asia Hotel. Tang Cheng, who just helped with the cooking, did not have a chance to enter the scene, but he knew that the cocktail party was the best opportunity to get his hands dirty.

Early the next morning, the New Asia Hotel was busy, and during the Tang Dynasty, he hid in the toilet several times to check the weapons and equipment in the carry-on equipment bag. It was not until lunchtime that the number of gendarmes outside the hotel increased again, and the personnel entering and leaving the New Asia Hotel, whether Japanese or not, had to be checked by the special high-tech plainclothes agents, even the people who worked in the hotel in Tangcheng.

Tang Cheng was very careful, and the forged documents he used also passed the verification of plainclothes agents, but there was one thing that made him very dissatisfied, in the passage from the back kitchen of the hotel to the front hall, three plainclothes agents were arranged. In other words, if Tang Cheng wanted to sneak into the drinking party, he had to find a way to pass through this passage safely, otherwise he would lose the opportunity to make a move on Shimakawa at the drinking party.

As time passed, Daochuan, who had arrived in Shanghai, appeared at the New Asia Hotel under the protection of a group of plainclothes military police, and according to the arrangement of the military police headquarters, the welcome reception would begin at dinnertime. The hotel kitchen, who had already received the notice, started a busier job, but Tang Cheng, who was doing miscellaneous work, had been looking for an opportunity to sneak into the drinking party, but it backfired, and the opportunity he wanted still did not appear until the reception began.

Li Muxin, who disguised himself as a Japanese businessman, was also invited to attend the welcome reception, just as Ran Jing was worried in advance, Li Muxin did not see Tang Cheng appear at the reception site. "Don't worry, wait and see!" Ran Jing was worried that the cigarette box hidden on her body would be discovered by the plainclothes agents at the party, so she wanted to find an opportunity to discard or hide it, but was stopped by Li Muxin, and in the dark, Li Muxin felt that Tang Cheng would definitely do it tonight.

More and more guests came to the New Asia Hotel one after another, but Tang Cheng could only stay in the back kitchen of the hotel, finally, he got a chance to send the garbage outside the back door of the hotel, and sending the garbage far away means having the opportunity to leave the back kitchen, Tang Cheng gladly accepted the job that no one else was willing to take over. But when Tang Cheng left the back kitchen with the garbage basket, he was followed by two plainclothes agents, although the two plainclothes agents said that they were going out to smoke, Tang Cheng knew that these two people must have come to keep an eye on him.

Since you are in a hurry to find death, then I can only meet your request to send you to death! Tang Cheng, who pretended not to know anything, just pulled the garbage basket and walked towards the back door of the hotel, but in fact he was ready to do it casually. "Borrow a fire!" Placing the garbage basket in a fixed position, Tang Cheng, who turned around and came back, also took out a cigarette from his pocket when he walked to the two plainclothes agents, and took the initiative to borrow a fire from the two to light a cigarette.

The two plainclothes agents who had already lit cigarettes did not suspect that he was there, but when one of them took out a match, the short knife that suddenly appeared in Tang Cheng's right hand had already pierced the left chest of the other. Without waiting for the plainclothes spy who took out the match to react, Tang Cheng, who had withdrawn the short knife, quickly raised his arm and swung the knife, and the sharp blade nailed into the neck of the plainclothes agent in the next second. Tang Cheng's speed was too fast, and the timing was also very good, and the two plainclothes agents were stabbed one after another and lost consciousness, but they were not noticed by the military police around the hotel.
