Chapter 19: Finding a Needle in a Haystack
"If it wasn't for stalking you, how would we know that your upline took that pack of cigarettes in the tavern! Want to know, how did we find out? Tang Cheng said this, deliberately pausing while noticing the change in Yuko Tanaka's expression. As Tang Cheng expected, after he said this, Yuko Tanaka's face really showed a frowning and thoughtful expression, seeing the other party's expression, Tang Cheng was secretly happy in his heart.
Tang Cheng mentioned Zhang Hanchun just now, and also said that Hasegawa was arrested because of himself, Yuko Tanaka was in turmoil at the moment, but his thinking had already faintly thought of Zhang Hanchun with Tang Cheng's last question. Is it because of Zhang Hanchun that I was exposed? Yuko Tanaka tried hard to recall the trajectory of her activities in Chongqing, and several of the original internal lines had been taken over by other members of the group, and it seemed that Zhang Hanchun had only one counterpoint in her hands.
Thinking of Zhang Hanchun, and then thinking of what Tang Cheng said before, Yuko Tanaka felt that her thinking seemed to be becoming clearer and clearer at the moment, and the answer had already appeared in her mind. "That's right, that's what you think, if it's not a cable newspaper, how can we find your place so accurately, and we can still catch your upline through you." Seeing the thoughtful expression on Tanaka Yuko's face, Tang Cheng immediately continued, shamelessly buttoning a big hat on Zhang Hanchun's head. "Don't forget, Zhang Hanchun is the head of the operations section of the Chongqing station, don't you really think that he was so easily co-opted by you, right?"
Getting the exact answer from Tang Cheng, Yuko Tanaka was grinding her teeth angrily at the moment, but after a dozen breaths, Yuko Tanaka suddenly laughed. If you don't want me to be happy, then don't be happy either, Yuko Tanaka sprinkled all the anger in her heart on Zhang Hanchun's head. "I want food, and I want hot tea." Yuko Tanaka, who knew that there was no hope of getting out, immediately gave up continuing the confrontation with Tang Cheng, and took the initiative to ask Tang Cheng for water.
Yuko Tanaka took the initiative to ask for water, which showed that the other party had given up the confrontation, and Tang Cheng, who was secretly proud in his heart, immediately turned around and informed the action team members waiting outside the door. "How did you do that?" Zhang Jiang, who received the report, was like everyone else, his face was full of surprise at the moment, he really couldn't figure it out, Yuko Tanaka, who was under severe punishment, refused to spit out, why did Tang Cheng just talk a few words, and this woman opened her mouth? Could it be that there is something inside that I don't know? With questions, Zhang Jianghe called Tang Cheng to the corridor outside the interrogation room to speak and question.
Tang Cheng naturally knew that secrets could not be told casually, so after handing Zhang Jianghe a cigarette, Tang Cheng just shrugged his shoulders and said with a boring smile. "What else, reason with her! The Japanese spies who were sent to lurk in the Kuomintang were all not afraid of death, but as long as they were human beings, they must have weaknesses. For example, the one in it, she cares about her appearance very much, as long as she finds the right weakness of the other party, she may not be able to hold them. Tang Cheng's explanation sounded a bit far-fetched, Zhang Jianghe didn't believe it, but no matter how he asked, Tang Cheng refused to explain again.
Zhang Jianghe was helpless, and finally had to give up and continue to ask, but Tang Cheng was also driven out of the barracks by Zhang Jianghe, who was angry. "You don't need to do this! You can't use it anymore and kick me out like garbage! I'm going to ignore you next time! Although Tang Cheng, who was standing at the gate of the barracks, said that he couldn't stop shouting, but looking at his assassin appearance, he didn't look like he was really angry at all.
After shouting at the gate of the barracks for a while, Tang Cheng, who had vented fiercely, finally refreshed himself, and then turned around and left. His trip was not in vain, at least he got another clue from Yuko Tanaka, and just by the face that appeared in Yuko Tanaka's mind, Tang Cheng felt that he was almost able to destroy this intelligence team of the Japanese. An hour later, in the tea shop, Tang Cheng handed over a freshly painted portrait to Zhao Dashan.
"Uncle Zhao, you take two people to find a photo studio, remake this portrait, and then wash out more photos, preferably let everyone of us have one. From now on, your main task is to find the person in the photo, and Li Yifan only leaves a team of people to follow him. During this period, I will be in charge of the tea shop and will notify me immediately if there is a situation. "Zhao Dashan, these old policemen, are all locals of Chongqing, and they are far more familiar with the situation in Chongqing than Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng is quite relieved to leave the matter of finding someone to them.
Zhao Dashan didn't ask much why, so he immediately took someone to find a photo studio to remake the portrait, he now has an understanding of Tang Cheng's style of doing things, although Tang Cheng looks whimsical in doing things, but there is always a harvest. Zhao Dashan didn't know if this was Tang Cheng's lucky possession, or Tang Cheng's deliberate behavior, he only knew that if he followed Tang Cheng, he would never suffer a loss. It wasn't until it was completely dark that Zhao Dashan and the others returned to the tea shop one after another, and there was no news about the person Tang Cheng was looking for.
"Don't be too anxious, although Chongqing is not as big as Nanjing, it is also a city with a large population, and it will never be a simple matter to find someone. I'm not going to give you a deadline, as long as you're all mindful, go back and rest, and continue tomorrow. Looking at the exhausted Zhao Dashan and the others, the corners of Tang Cheng's mouth slowly curved into an arc. In order to find the face in the photo, there is actually a prerequisite, and Tang Cheng did not inform Zhao Dashan of this prerequisite.
This afternoon's search operation can be regarded as a temporary assessment of Zhao Dashan and them by Tang Cheng, and now it seems that Zhao Dashan and they are quite attentive, and Tang Cheng is very satisfied with this. Everyone left, only Zhao Dashan and the three team leaders stayed, and Tang Cheng told the inside story. "I don't know if you've ever looked closely at this face in the photo!" There was a portrait photo on the table in front of Tang Cheng, and Zhao Dashan and the others gathered around when they heard this.
"When you get the target photo in the future, you should immediately take a closer look at the content of the photo, like this photo. Although the content of the photograph is only a portrait of a person's face, if you are willing to take the time to look closely at the photograph, you will be able to find out what is different from it. As Tang Cheng spoke, he immediately used a pencil to circle several parts on the portrait photo.
"The face in the photo is not wearing a hat, and you can see that he has a very particular hairstyle, which is definitely not the craft of your average street shaver." Tang Cheng's words were regarded as waking up the people in their dreams, and Zhao Dashan and the others immediately looked at each other. That's right, with what Tang Cheng just pointed out, they can narrow down the scope of their search, and only need to take the portrait photo and ask the few barber shops in the city, which is much easier and faster than asking the whole city.
"There is also the corner of the left eyebrow of the portrait, which is a scar here, and it seems that the situation has not completely healed. I think there must be no way to deal with such a wound, so will there be a treatment record in the hospital or clinic? Tang Cheng's second highlight in the photo is the scar on the left eyebrow corner of the portrait. Looking at the shape of the scar, it should be a abrasion or impact injury, such an injury, even if the other party is a Japanese spy lurking in Chongqing City, he will not deliberately deceive, because it is not a gunshot wound or a knife wound, and there is no need for normal people to hide it at all.
Tang Cheng's explanation opened the eyes of Zhao Dashan and the others, they didn't expect that just from a small scar on the photo, Tang Cheng could figure out so many Taos. With the direction of the investigation, Zhao Dashan and the others became more and more energetic, and as the search scope was further narrowed, a group of people finally found a person who had seen the face in the photo in a small clinic. "Xie Shanshan, 21 years old, a nurse at Huarui Clinic, is originally from Chengdu, and moved to Chongqing from Chengdu when she was a grandparent."
Zhao Dashan The witness they found was a female nurse in the clinic, but after seeing Zhao Dashan's police ID, the timid Xie Shanshan told everything she knew. "The fourth child's original police station was in charge of law and order in this area, and he has already gone to his former colleagues for help, and I believe that there will be accurate news soon." With the testimony of the female nurse in the clinic, Zhao Dashan and the others can basically determine that the owner of the face in the photo should live in the area around Huarui Clinic.
"Good job, with the help of the police department, we should be able to find someone quickly." Tang Cheng didn't show too stinginess, and directly gave Zhao Dashan a few banknotes, which was considered tea money for the fourth child's colleagues. "People are willing to help, but also to bear a certain responsibility, we eat meat, how can we leave broth for others, otherwise, people may not be willing to help next time." Tang Cheng said it very clearly, and Zhao Dashan had no objection to this.
More than an hour later, news came back that the fourth child had found the whereabouts of the man in the photo through his former colleagues at the police station. "Captain, it's the bookstore over there, and one of my nephews works in the teahouse on this street, I've already asked him to investigate, and the person in the photo is in the bookstore." Tang Cheng led people to the place, and Sun Guang, nicknamed the fourth child, had already found a monitoring point diagonally opposite the bookstore, and standing here, he could clearly see the door of the bookstore.
When Tang Cheng heard this, he did not immediately issue an arrest order, but quietly looked at the bookstore diagonally opposite with a telescope, but unfortunately he could only see the door of the bookstore in the telescope, but he could not see the situation in the bookstore. "Don't alarm him yet, the tracking team is all arranged in a location outside a street, don't arrange our people in this street, this monitoring point is enough." Tang Cheng quickly made arrangements, there were already two Japanese spies on the left and right Zhang Jiang and over there, this guy who was finally found, Tang Cheng didn't plan to arrest him immediately, he wanted to try to see if he could hang out other targets.
