Chapter 3: Shooting in the middle of the night
At the beginning of the day, Tang Cheng, who was full of food and water, came out of a restaurant on the side of the street, and Tang Cheng, who slept in a hotel for an afternoon, was full of energy at this moment. With the influx of a large number of people, the Shanghai Concession looks like a scene of prosperity. The neon lights and advertising paintings that can be seen everywhere are not seen in the mountain city of Chongqing, and Tangcheng walked slowly with the flow of people, and soon came to the side of Nanjing Road.
Tang Cheng is going to the famous dance hall street in the Shanghai Tang Concession, which is not far from Nanjing Road, and there are several dance halls in a short distance of only a few hundred meters, including the MGM Ballroom, which is known as the four major dance halls in Shanghai. However, Tang Cheng appeared here tonight, not to kill time and get drunk and dream, he came here to find the Japanese pseudo-spies who might appear here.
The Ministry of Industry of the Concession turned a blind eye to the entry of Japanese puppet spies into the concession, so it was normal for Japanese puppet spies to enter the concession dance hall to have fun. Most of the dance halls in the concession are obviously European, so the dancers who come here to consume and enjoy themselves will definitely not be ordinary people. Since ordinary small spies don't have the ability to come here to spend, only those big spies can come here, so Tang Cheng is here tonight to try his luck.
The MGM Ballroom is undoubtedly the best business among these dance halls, and when Tang Cheng walked here, there were already many cars parked outside the MGM Ballroom. Tang Cheng did not immediately cross the street into the dance hall, but first lit a cigarette and stood on the side of the street and smoked quietly. After secretly observing for a while, Tang Cheng, who had finished smoking a cigarette, crossed the street and followed a group of men and women into the dance hall.
Compared with the dance halls in later generations, MGM Ballroom, known as one of the four major dance halls in Shanghai, is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Tang Cheng. After entering the ballroom, Tang Cheng didn't dance or drink and flirt with the dancers like the other guests, he just asked for a beer, and then found a remote corner to secretly observe the guests in the ballroom. According to the information that Tang Cheng purchased from the bar owner, this dance hall was often haunted by Japanese pseudo-agents and plainclothes agents, but he secretly looked around, but he did not find any suspicious-looking plainclothes agents.
A glass of beer was half drunk, and Tang Cheng, who had refused to be accosted by several dancers in a row, was about to leave, but suddenly there was a noise on the dance floor. Tang Cheng, who had already stood up, heard the sound and looked over, just in time to see a tall man, who was stretching out his hand and pointing at a middle-aged man and scolding repeatedly, and beside the two, there was also a dancing girl with a little messy hair. The dance halls in Shanghai are mixed, and everyone has them, which is just a farce of jealousy.
Two guests compete for a dancer, and this kind of scene is staged almost every day, so the rest of the ballroom is not impressed. Tang Cheng was also watching with relish at the moment, but his attention was not on the two men, he was paying attention to the dancer who seemed to be aggrieved. Something is wrong with this dancing girl! This was the first reaction in Tang Cheng's mind, especially after he saw the dancing girl's posture at the moment, his idea became even more firm.
The quarrel on the dance floor became more and more intense, and just when the attention of almost everyone in the dance hall was focused on this quarrel farce, Tang Cheng suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eyes that a pair of men and women who were originally close to the bar of the dance hall had quietly moved their positions to the sides of several guests. "Smack... Syllable... The sound of gunfire suddenly appeared, and the pair of men and women that Tang Cheng noticed out of the corner of his eye suddenly took out their pistols and fired at the guests beside him.
With such a close range of shots, there was no chance or time to dodge, and a large cloud of blood mist burst out continuously with the sound of gunfire, and the dance hall was instantly filled with screams and shouts. Hearing the sound of gunshots, Tang Cheng's first reaction was to immediately squat down with his head in place, just like the other guest dancers. Then he blended into the crowd in a panic and rushed in the direction of the ballroom door.
The information bought with money did not work, and Tang Cheng, who was pouring out of the dance hall with the flow of people, was secretly depressed, and when he turned his head to look around, Tang Cheng suddenly had an idea in his heart. When there was a shooting time at the MGM Ballroom, one of the best dance halls in the concession, the Concession Patrol House, which got the news, immediately sent people over. It's just that they came a little late, not only are the people who shot in the dance hall long gone, but there are also a lot fewer guests and dancers who were originally playing in the dance hall.
Of the group that was shot, two were seriously injured, one was dead, and the remaining two were unscathed. The shooting involved the Japanese, and the victim was still a member of the special high school, and the concession patrols who rushed to the scene could only report the situation while trying their best to appease the two plainclothes who were constantly clamoring.
The injured were sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, but new problems soon came, and the special high school also received the news, and some of them also rushed to the scene. "This is an obvious retaliatory action, the murderer is four to five, and they cooperate with each other, which is a typical military commander assassination method!" As soon as I arrived at the scene, I questioned a few guests and dancers, and after briefly inspecting the plainclothes of the special high school at the scene, I immediately came to a conclusion.
The plainclothes of the special high school with judgment and conclusion, the two people who were noisy on the dance floor at the time were also included in the object of suspicion. In the assassination operations of the military commanders in the past, these two men who used quarrels to attract the attention of others were often an important link in the entire assassination operation. At this moment, Tang Cheng did not leave, and when the people in the patrol room came over, Tang Cheng, who had already changed his outfit, was mixed with the crowd watching the excitement on the side of the street.
Tang Cheng's wait was not in vain, he finally waited for the people of the special high class, and saw the plainclothes of the special high school with a gloomy face, and entered the dance hall, Tang Cheng, who was mixed in the crowd, quietly retreated, and then disappeared into the shadows on the side of the street. About half an hour later, the plainclothes men of the special high school who had finished inspecting the scene in the ballroom came out of the ballroom in twos and threes, ready to take away the body in the ballroom.
The Concession Patrolmen, who maintained order outside the dance hall, didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the special high school at all, and they wished that the corpses in the dance hall would be taken away by the other party. But just as the corpse, wrapped in a sheet, was carried out of the door of the ballroom, the patrols gathered outside the ballroom suddenly heard a gunshot. Among the four special high school plainclothes carrying the corpses, one of them fell backwards on his back at the moment of the gunshot.
The sharp-eyed patrolman, who turned around at this time, happened to see a stream of bloody arrows spurting out from the upper body of the fallen plainclothes agent. The sudden scene made the plainclothes agents, the patrol of the concession and the large crowd of onlookers outside the ballroom dumbfounded. "Smack!" There was another gunshot, and it was as if someone had pressed the switch, and the outside of the originally silent ballroom instantly became chaotic, accompanied by shouts and shouts, and first the onlookers began to run in all directions.
The passers-by who watched the bustle ran first, followed by those who didn't want to get into trouble, and the third gunshot rang out, leaving only the people of the special high school outside the ballroom. "Yaga! These cowardly guys, it's so damning! "After three consecutive gunshots, three people were shot outside the dance hall in succession, and all three people who were shot were from the special high school. Even if it's a person with a brain problem, at this time, it's time to react, this is someone who has come to shoot and attack these plainclothes agents of the special high class.
"Uncle Cao, let's just look at it? If too many of those Japanese die, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble! "In the patrol of the concession that has already shrunk to the street, a young patrol with a frown and eyes seems to be unwilling. It's just that his voice has just fallen, and instead of getting the support of his colleagues, he was rewarded by the old patrol who he called Uncle Cao.
"What are you talking nonsense, boy! You don't look at what we're using! Besides, the dead over there are all Japanese, what does it have to do with us? It didn't say that the Japanese could go in and out of the concession with weapons at will! Uncle Cao looked at the little patrol beside him with an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel. It's not easy for your father and mother to raise you so big! Don't think that if you learn kung fu for a few days, you are invincible in the world, and those who dare to do it against Japan are definitely not ordinary people. ”
Tang Cheng, who was called by Uncle Cao as definitely not an ordinary person, was half-squatting on the roof of the opposite side of the dance hall at this moment, secretly activating his light body skills, and before those extra-high class plainclothes walked out of the dance hall, he had already used his skills and flying claws to quickly climb to the roof of the opposite side of the dance hall. The condescending Tang Cheng fired continuously, and under the premise that the other party had no time to be vigilant, in just a few breaths, he successfully knocked down more than four extra-high school plainclothes.
The night was Tang Cheng's best cover, even the plainclothes of the special high school who were trapped outside the door of the dance hall by him had already judged the direction and location of Tang Cheng according to the direction from which the bullets came. But those plainclothes were armed with pistols, and if they wanted to fight back against Tang Cheng, they could only hold their guns and shoot from small to high, so that they would inevitably be exposed to Tang Cheng's sight and become the next target to be shot over.
Tang Cheng, who had already opened the triple eyepiece skill, had a condescending advantage, and although he was using a bolt-action rifle with a slower rate of fire, he still succeeded one after another, making the plainclothes of the special high school class outside the dance hall miserable. After shooting two bullet bridges in a row, Tang Cheng did not deliberately pay attention to the killing effect, but chose to leave the roof immediately, because he had already faintly heard the siren getting closer and closer.
These extraordinarily high school plainclothes who were shot in plainclothes did not look down on the timid and fearful patrol of the concession, but what they did not expect was that it was the concession patrol that saved them in the end. A large number of concession patrols rushed here, and according to the instructions provided by the remnants of the special high school plainclothes, the patrolmen searched the building across the street in groups, but unfortunately they did not find the sought-after, only found some bullet casings and a cigarette butt on the roof.
