Chapter Seventy-One: Suspicion of Direction

While Ichiro Araki was busy throwing the pot, the news of the attack on the Japanese military hospital had already spread in the concession. Even though the Japanese army had kept the news tightly sealed, many of the details of this incident had been known to some well-informed people, including Hans. Hans's first reaction when he learned of this was to immediately call Tang Cheng's residence, knowing that Tang Cheng had not returned to his residence for two days, Hans, who put down the phone, had already preliminarily determined that the incident in Hongkou District was related to Tang Cheng.

In fact, Hans didn't care how many Japanese soldiers and spies Tang Cheng killed, what he cared about was how Tang Cheng did it. The Japanese army hospital must be tightly guarded, Tang Cheng has been in Shanghai for such a long time, and Hans has never seen or heard that Tang Cheng has a helper by his side. Tang Cheng dared to go deep into Hongkou District alone, Hans didn't doubt this, he just couldn't think of how Tang Cheng could raid the Japanese army hospital alone.

Although there is no clear evidence in his hand to prove that this matter is related to Tang Cheng, Hans secretly feels that this matter is absolutely inseparable from Tang Cheng. Could it be that the Japanese soldiers guarding the Japanese army hospital just let Tang Cheng enter the hospital? Hans, who had not yet received the specific content of the event from the inside, was unable to deduce a result after repeatedly deducing it in his head.

In the early hours of the morning, Hans, who had been paying attention to the matter, finally got the so-called first-hand detailed information from the hands of a French intelligence trafficker, but it was also incomplete, because the information was blocked too tightly by Tegaoke. "Pierrot, can you be sure that one of the attackers escaped?" In the basement of Pierrot's residence, Hans, with a hesitant face, slowly pushes two gold bars to the other party, and if the other party cannot give him an accurate answer, Hans will immediately take back the gold bars.

Pierrot was a professional intelligence monger, and he was even willing to sell his information to the Germans, France's sworn enemies, as long as the consignee could afford it. In Pierrot's eyes, nothing tasted like money, especially since Hans was still holding out gold that was stronger than any banknote. "I assure you, and even swear to God, my insider said that the gendarmes who rushed to the hospital to support at that time cordoned off the hospital site, and gathered the survivors who escaped from the hospital together for identity sorting and verification."

"But at this time, among the survivors who were gathered together, someone suddenly released ***." As he said this, Pierrot suddenly leaned forward and lowered his voice, pretending to speak mysteriously to Hans. "My insider has seen that *** with my own eyes, it is an American product, so Tegaoke is currently inferring that this matter may be related to the US Marines in Tianjin, at least the *** is out of their hands."

Pierrot's pretended to reveal the news in a false way, which made Hans confused, how could this matter have anything to do with the United States again? However, this news is not bad for him, after all, he still has an American identity on his body, at least Pierrot will not doubt the true purpose of his inquiry into this matter. "Even if that *** is American, it can't be said that the matter of the Japanese military hospital is related to the United States!" Hans's identity to the outside world is American, and if he has doubts at this moment, it will not arouse Pierrot's suspicions.

"It's just a ***, it really can't be said that this matter has anything to do with the United States!" Pierrot laughed when he heard this, "But you have to know that *** is the standard equipment of the US military, not to mention the Tianjin black market, even if you go to the mainland of the United States, it is not easy to get the standard equipment of the US military." Those people are not stupid, how can they not imagine the connection between them! ”

As Pierrot spoke, his eyes kept on the gold bars on the table, and Hans, who had already noticed his appearance, pretended not to see anything, because he still had questions that Pierrot needed to answer. "What happened to the attacker who escaped from the hospital? I heard that Hongkou District has been completely locked down? Hans did not point out Pierrot's far-fetched inference, but turned the conversation back to the attacker.

What Hans asked at the moment happened to be what Pierrot didn't know, but he didn't want to lose the opportunity to get the two gold bars, so he had to tell Hans all the news he had gotten. "The attacker who escaped from the hospital, it is said that until now, the gendarmerie and the special high-tech have not been found. However, according to my informants, Tegoko now suspects that the bodies taken out of the hospital building were mixed with the bodies of the attackers. ”

"How is this possible?" When Hans heard this, he subconsciously doubted Tegaoke's judgment, because he knew that Tang Cheng had always liked to act alone, even if it was such a big thing as rescuing the lone army camp, Tang Cheng planned and implemented it alone from beginning to end.

"How is this impossible?" Pierrot squinted at Hans, but fortunately, Hans's expression was the same, and he didn't let Pierrot see the flaw. "When the Japanese hospital was attacked, it was said that there were gunfire and explosions in the hospital building, and the attackers also set fire to the hospital building. Some of the corpses that were lifted out of the hospital building were completely unrecognizable in appearance and physical features, and if any of the attackers' companions had been killed, they would probably have been mixed in with the unsightly corpses. ”

Pierrot's explanation made Hans even more puzzled, and he even secretly wondered if the matter of the Japanese military hospital had nothing to do with Tang Cheng. According to Hans's understanding of Tang Cheng, although Tang Cheng looks young, he never leaves a flaw in doing things. It was precisely because of this that Tang Cheng would always be alone when he acted, and even if the operation failed, no one would betray his whereabouts. But Pierrot was so sure at the moment that the attackers who attacked the Japanese hospital were not alone, and Hans was completely confused by the news.

"The Japanese were caught up in a hurry this time, and my informant said that after the gendarmes and the special high-tech people blocked the Hongkou district, they searched the homes of even the Japanese expatriates twice in a row, but they still did not find the whereabouts of the attacker. I heard that the gendarmerie headquarters has issued a death order, and if the whereabouts of the attacker cannot be found, there will definitely be unlucky people on the gendarmerie side and the special high-tech side, and there will definitely be unlucky people who will be pushed out to fight against this black cauldron. ”

Pierrot was well-informed, so Hans would not doubt his words, but the question in his mind had not been answered, and Hans was already a little restless. "Pierrot, this matter involves the United States, if you have any relevant news, you must tell me first." Hans's heart moved, and he immediately pushed the gold bars to Pierrot's hand, and the latter did not refuse, and happily reached out and took the two gold bars.

"Don't worry, if there is any new news, I will definitely tell you first." Pierrot carefully put the gold bars in his underwear pocket, and was about to get up, but as if he had suddenly thought of something, he looked at Hans. "I have one more news here, I just don't know if you're interested! Just before the attack on the Japanese hospital, there was an attack in Hongkou District, which was supposed to be an assassination to be exact, and it was an officer of the military police headquarters who was assassinated. ”

Hans had been in Shanghai for many years, so he naturally knew what kind of class Officer Dazuo was in the Japanese officer system. When he heard that there was also an assassination of Officer Dazuo on the street in Hongkou District, he asked Pierrot with great interest. "This officer surnamed Kuroteng, who was assassinated on the street, is said to be a guy with great ability and potential, but unfortunately, along with his mistress in Hongkou District, has been beaten into a sieve by assassins."

Although Tang Cheng assassinated Kuroto Daisa and Sakurako Zuoli on the street, there were not many witnesses at that time, and the gendarmerie troops came quickly, and the entire street was controlled before the news spread. If it weren't for Pierrot's inner line in the gendarmerie, who rushed to the scene to support, this news would not have been known to Pierrot. At this moment, from the point of view of Aihans, compared with the attack on the Japanese military hospital, the news of the assassination of Kurotten Dasadang Street is more like Tang Cheng's doing.

It's just that in front of Pierrot, Hans didn't express his suspicions, and Hans, who had already got the news he wanted, immediately got up to say goodbye, and he was in a hurry to leave here to call Tang Cheng. However, Hans did not expect that after separating from Pierrot, he immediately called Tang Cheng's residence, and Edmund, who answered the phone, still said that Tang Cheng had not returned to his residence. "Damn, where the hell is this guy going?" The suspicions that had been flashing in his mind made Hans more and more convinced that the matter of the Japanese military hospital was done by Tang Cheng.

Hans was suspicious of Tang Cheng, but he was suffering from the lack of evidence, especially since he couldn't find where Tang Cheng was. An hour later, Hans, who had returned to the restaurant, received a call from Pierrot, in which Pierrot informed him of the direction of the detection that had now been confirmed. "What? Are you saying that the special high-tech side has confirmed that it was the Korean National Salvation Army that attacked the hospital? Hans, who was on the other end of the phone, could hardly believe his ears, Hans knew all too well what the Korean National Salvation Army was.

"Pierrot, do you also believe that the matter of the Japanese military hospital will be done by those guys who can only collect donations and cheat money?" Hans would be so sure that the matter of the Japanese military hospital had nothing to do with the Korean National Salvation Army, not because he looked down on the Korean National Salvation Army, but because the Korean National Salvation Army did not have a very good reputation in Shanghai. Every once in a while, the Korean National Salvation Army (KLA) would raise so-called funds for the restoration of the country among the North Korean diaspora in China, and a North Korean businessman whom Hans knew once said that the Korean National Salvation Army was a bunch of liars.

Hans questioned this, but Pierrot on the other end of the phone didn't think so, "Now it's not me believe it or not, but the upper echelons of the gendarmerie command and the special high-tech department believe it or not!" Dozens of officers, soldiers, doctors and nurses were killed and wounded in the Japanese hospital, and if the whereabouts of the attackers could not be found, this incident was enough to panic the Gendarmerie Command and the Special High-Tech people, and they had to find a target, otherwise they would have to shirk their responsibility. ”
