Chapter Seventy-Nine: Clues
During lunch, Tang Cheng returned to his residence with a melancholy face, Xu because he saw Tang Cheng's expression revealing a trace of exhaustion, and after lunch, Zhang Jianghe called Tang Cheng to the study on the second floor. "You went to see Bai Zhanshan?" Zhang Jianghe, who had an inquiring look in his eyes, stretched out his hand to take the cigarette handed by Tang Cheng, lit it and took a puff before opening his mouth to ask Tang Cheng.
"Hmmm! It's been agreed before!" Seeing that Zhang Jianghe seemed to care very much about going to see Bai Zhanshan, Tang Cheng did not hide it, and told Zhang Jianghe all the content of his meeting with Bai Zhanshan. Zhang Jianghe did not interrupt Tang Cheng's narration, just smoked silently, and only when he heard that Bai Zhanshan asked Tang Cheng to help find out the whereabouts of the batch of medicines, Zhang Jianghe's face showed a sneer.
"He is testing you, whether it is to hand over the matter of Yuan Cheng's rebellion to someone else, or the medicine you just mentioned, these are Bai Zhanshan's temptations." Zhang Jianghe did not tell Tang Cheng how he made his judgment, but only reminded Tang Cheng of it. "I don't know if there's anything else in here that I don't know, but I'm sure it's Bai Zhanshan's temptation of you, you have to be careful! There is no bottom line for this person to do things. ”
Seeing Tang Cheng looking at him with a puzzled expression, Zhang Jianghe had to explain patiently, "Bai Zhanshan, I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, but I still know him. This person's original reputation was not bad, but I don't know why, this person's utilitarianism is getting heavier and heavier. A person who is too utilitarian often only sees the beneficial side of himself when looking at problems, and such a person is actually not suitable for intelligence work. ”
"Yuan Cheng's matter, whether it is true or not, let's just talk about that batch of trauma drugs, in the final analysis, it is just a rumor that there is no shadow, he is a special commissioner sent to Shanghai by the headquarters, don't you know what it is to chase after the wind and catch shadows? I guess what he cares about is your access to information! The last time you assassinated Kenichi Yamamoto, you didn't ask for intelligence support from the Shanghai station. ”
Zhang Jianghe had already hit the nail on the head with a few words of explanation, and Tang Cheng had to admit that Jiang was still old and spicy. "And what do you think I should do now?" Tang Cheng will sincerely ask Zhang Jianghe for advice, and when it comes to the ability to deal with people and things, Zhang Jianghe, who is about to reach the age of not being confused, is much better than himself.
Zhang Jianghe laughed when he heard this, "Bai Zhanshan is ruthless, but he is a guy with insufficient confidence, he likes to drag things and look forward to the future, to use a bad word, a person like him is simply a person who has no idea." A person like him is destined not to be on the big stage, he is tempting you, that is, to use your channels to collect intelligence, to avoid being fooled by those people at the Shanghai station, I guess there should be someone behind him to help with advice, maybe the director specially sent to help him. ”
Zhang Jianghe said that Bai Zhanshan was a brainless and strategic, which Tang Cheng, who had contact with Bai Zhanshan, also agreed, but Tang Cheng had a different opinion on Zhang Jianghe's last sentence. "Uncle, do you say that there is such a possibility, Bai Zhanshan's every move is done according to the meaning of Nanjing. He's just a captain of operations now, and it's because the commissioner values him that he has a chance to succeed you as this commissioner. specially brought a strategist to Shanghai, he didn't have such a big face, and Nanjing was afraid that he wouldn't allow it. ”
Tang Cheng's words reminded Zhang Jianghe, and after a moment of contemplation, Zhang Jianghe nodded. "There is some truth in what you said, there are many factions in Nanjing, and there are constant fights, even the director must be careful everywhere. If you have this carefulness, I don't have to continue to worry about you, in short, when dealing with Bai Zhanshan, you have to be more careful, this person is not right-minded. ”
Tang Cheng nodded when he heard this, and then changed the topic and said, "Uncle, I see that your injuries are almost recovered, and I don't have anything to do here, shouldn't we consider going back to Nanjing?" Tang Cheng didn't say it very bluntly, he just wanted to pull out the topic first, and then discuss with Zhang Jianghe about returning to Nanjing.
"What? Tired of staying in Shanghai? Sure enough, as Tang Cheng expected, Zhang Jianghe immediately raised his eyes to look at Tang Cheng, but the expression on his face made Tang Cheng unable to see anything wrong.
When Tang Cheng heard this, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "It's not annoying to arrive, the day after tomorrow is New Year's Day, don't you suddenly remember that your family is here!" It's New Year's Day, but it's the new year, and I'm just worried that if I delay in Shanghai for a long time, things that I discussed with your director will change. As the old saying goes, a radish is a pit, but I have found you a position as deputy stationmaster in Chongqing!"
"The day after tomorrow is New Year's Day?" Zhang Jianghe also seemed to suddenly remember, and his face unconsciously revealed a trace of inexplicable expression. "Yes, it's a new year after New Year's Day, and before you know it, a year has passed." Zhang Jianghe is not opposed to going to Chongqing to take up a post, he is already missing an arm, he knows that even if he stays in Nanjing, he will not be able to become the director's side of the celebrity, rather than staying in Nanjing to be a cold bench, it is better to go to Chongqing to do something serious and cost-effective.
At this time, when it came to returning to Nanjing, Tang Cheng wanted to test Zhang Jianghe to see if Zhang Jianghe had the intention of leaving the intelligence office and going to the northwest. Seeing Zhang Jianghe's eagerness to go to Chongqing, Tang Cheng immediately put his mind at ease, and secretly said in his heart that the next plan could finally be implemented. After discussing with Zhang Jianghe for a while, and finally decided to return to Nanjing after New Year's Day, Tang Cheng knew that there were some things that had to be hurried.
Early the next morning, Tang Cheng went to Hans and told Hans that the intelligence department was also looking for this batch of medicines. "Tang, look at what I said, I know that there is no wind and no waves, and this batch of rumored medicines is likely to be real." It's just that he hasn't seen him all night, and Hans's expression looks faintly excited, but when Tang Cheng is secretly speculating, Hans takes the initiative to uncover the mystery.
"Don, thank you for the clues you told me yesterday, although my people rushed to the hotel and didn't find the two people you said, I still found the man and woman through the inside line of the patrol room." Hans smiled and winked at Tang Cheng, "They have been my guests since dark last night, and I have had a friendly exchange with them sincerely. Both of these people are sensible people, and naturally know whether to choose to be friends or enemies with me, and I already have some clues about that batch of medicines. ”
Hans's words made Tang Cheng feel the urge to smash this thing on the bridge of the nose, what a friendly exchange, bullshit! Tang Cheng didn't need to think that the friendly exchange that Hans was talking about would definitely not be a calm conversation, but perhaps some kind of shady means such as torture were used. However, Tang Cheng still forcibly suppressed this impulse first, lowered his eyes and asked Hans, "Are you sure that batch of medicines really exists?" ”
"Don, I'm a decent person, and we're friends, and I never lie to my friends." Tang Cheng's question made Hans very unhappy, and immediately looked at Tang Cheng with his blue eyes. "I can tell you now that I already know a rough idea of where the batch is stored, and I've sent someone to find out. I probably won't have to wait until lunch to find out exactly where they're stored, and you'll soon know if I'm trying to fool you. ”
Hans replied so hard, Tang Cheng couldn't help but murmur in his heart, could it be that this unreliable guy really found the whereabouts of that batch of medicines? The suspicion on Tang Cheng's face made Hans secretly feel refreshed, and he had even begun to imagine what kind of expression Tang Cheng would show on his face when his subordinates brought back the exact news. Hans said that he would get the exact news at lunchtime, but in fact, he didn't have to wait for lunch to send back the news from the people sent by Hans.
"Are you sure it's on the east bank of the Huangpu River?" Tang Cheng's fingers holding the cigarette trembled secretly, if Hans's people were really sure that the batch of medicines was hidden in Pudong, Xu Huanshan and they might really have the possibility of stealing food. Since the opening of Shanghai, the economic development of the Huangpu River has been rapid, although the east of the Huangpu River is still a suburban countryside, but along the Yangtze River with the help of geographical advantages, there are many small wharves and warehouses built by foreigners. A lot of foreign goods will pass through here and be transported directly to the Bund in the form of ships.
Hans's men repeatedly assured that they had indeed found clues to the medicine, and that they had found that there were other people who were also inquiring about the medicine, and Tang Cheng finally believed it. "Hans, keep telling your men to go to the east coast to keep an eye on, and it's New Year's Day in two days. In other words, you still have two days to get ready, and on New Year's Day, let's do it. Tang Cheng reacted immediately, and when Hans was full of joy, he didn't know that Tang Cheng was already thinking about how to pass on the news to Xu Huanshan.
The whereabouts of that batch of medicines were found so quickly, which Tang Cheng had never expected before going out, and after having lunch at Hans's place, Tang Cheng excused himself to go back and prepare and left. In order to prevent Hans from sending someone to follow him, Tang Cheng, who had left the restaurant, did not go anywhere else, but returned to his residence. There is an old man in the family who has a treasure, Tang Cheng only now understands the meaning of this sentence, and he believes that Zhang Jianghe will definitely be able to help him solve this trouble in front of him.
"Are you sure that friend of yours isn't trying to coax you?" Although he didn't know what kind of friends Tang Cheng had made in Shanghai, Zhang Jianghe didn't expect that Tang Cheng would come back from a walk around early this morning, and say that he had found the whereabouts of that batch of medicines. It is hard to believe who this matter is, especially Zhang Jianghe, who is engaged in intelligence work, and has always maintained the necessary vigilance and suspicion of everything.
