Chapter 90: Doom Strikes
Things are indeed as Tang Cheng expected, the matter of the medicine warehouse, I don't know what kind of sincerity and bargaining chips the Japanese have come up with, and the British side directly chose to stop fighting. Hans, who was going to watch the fire from the other side, was angry, and then called Tang Cheng again, "Don, what do you think those damn Brits are thinking?" Is that the end of it? ”
Tang Cheng laughed secretly, and from Hans's voice, it was not difficult to hear that Hans on the other end of the phone was angry. "Don, I originally thought that this time, the British would fight with the Japanese because of this matter. But I never thought that these hypocritical Brits would choose to hide it, damn Brits! Hans's mouth was full of contempt and disdain for the British at the moment, and Tang Cheng's heart moved, and he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.
There were a total of three rejuvenation pills obtained from the system lottery last time, and when he went to Jiangdong to grab the medicine that night, Tang Cheng had already eaten one, and the remaining two pills, Tang Cheng was originally going to keep them for later use, but the rejuvenation pills had a one-year shelf life. Hans suddenly mentioned the British businessman George on the phone, and Tang Cheng's heart moved and he thought of taking the remaining two rejuvenation pills, maybe he could use up another rejuvenation pill before leaving Shanghai.
Tang Cheng didn't tell Zhang Jianghe what he was thinking, after all, the matter he was thinking about didn't sound like a fair and upright thing. In the next few days, when Tang Cheng received a call from Hans, he would intentionally or unintentionally bring the topic to George, and figure out where that George lived. After planning and then acting, this is Tang Cheng's consistent style of doing things, and after repeated deductions in his heart many times, Tang Cheng chose a cloudy night to carry out his plan.
Seeing that the sky was gloomy and looked like it was going to rain, Tang Cheng, who had had dinner early, took the initiative to pull Zhou Hongxiang and Zhang Jiang and the two to play cards, as soon as it got dark, Tang Cheng excused himself to go upstairs to rest under the pretext of being tired, Zhou Hongxiang and Zhang Jiang and the two did not see Tang Cheng's strange appearance. After waiting alone in the room for a while, Tang Cheng, who had taken the rejuvenation pill, was ready to stop, and along the thin rope hanging from the window, he launched his light body skill and quickly slid downstairs.
After nightfall, the entire concession became lively, and the people of the three religions and nine streams who mingled in the concession were all haunting the streets at this time. Tang Cheng, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, looked very inconspicuous when he walked on the street, and after leaving his residence two blocks away, Tang Cheng hailed a rickshaw on the street. Tang Cheng had already heard from Hans that the English merchant named George had often mingled with a few merchants who had just arrived from England during this time, and they should have all been meeting in George's residence at this time.
George's place was obviously much better than the one Hans had found for Tang City, and there were patrols around from time to time. Tang Cheng didn't care about this, just a run-up and a jump, Tang Cheng had already climbed the top of the wall and climbed up. The British businessman George seemed to be a very insecure fellow, and only his house was walled with blue bricks and a dog in the yard.
Squatting on the wall like a ghost, he secretly observed for a while, the corners of Tang Cheng's mouth slanted, and slowly slid down the wall into the courtyard. The two sturdy hounds in the courtyard were obviously highly trained, even though they had discovered Tang Cheng, they did not bark loudly like earth dogs, but used the night as a cover, quietly approaching Tang Cheng's side one left and one right.
Tang Cheng didn't expect that there were still dogs at home in advance, so it was impossible to prepare in advance, and found that two dogs were coming towards him, and Tang Cheng, who was helpless, had to take out a **pistol with *** from his portable equipment bag. "Poof! Burst! With two soft sounds, Tang Cheng shot two in a row, first put down the big dog rushing from the left, and then turned around and squatted down to turn the muzzle of the gun, and then shot two shots, knocking the other big dog that almost rushed in front of him to the ground.
Tang Cheng's continuous bullets all hit the heads of the two big dogs, and the big dog that fell to the ground only twitched a few times, and then completely lost his breath. Tang Cheng left the shadows under the wall with his pistol to make sure that there was no danger around, and then dragged the two big dogs that had lost their breath under the wall. Tang Cheng walked directly through a lawn, and then knelt down on one knee over a bush in front of him to look at the small western-style building not far away, through the window facing him, Tang Cheng faintly saw several figures in the room.
Tang Cheng immediately activated the triple eyepiece, and the figures in the window, which were originally somewhat blurry, instantly became clear. Tang Cheng had never seen the British businessman named George, he just listened to Hans call George a dirty fat man on the phone, and looked closely at the figures in the window, and there seemed to be only one who could be called fat. The fat man Tang Cheng saw through the window was holding a wine glass in one hand and waving the other, talking to several other people.
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Cheng got up and bypassed the bushes, first searched the row of bungalows on the east side of the atom, and then turned to the back of the small western-style building. Taking out the flying claw with a long rope from his carry-on equipment bag, in the blink of an eye, Tang Cheng threw the flying claw wrapped around the cloth strip onto the roof, and then quickly climbed up to the terrace of a window on the second floor along the long rope.
The floor-to-ceiling door connecting the terrace to the room was not locked, and Tang Cheng, who had climbed into the terrace, simply gently twisted the doorknob and pushed the floor-to-ceiling door open. The room behind the floor-to-ceiling door is empty, and looking at the layout of the room, this should be a studio. It's just that the piano that was placed in the corner of the room made Tang Cheng pout secretly, he couldn't think of what it meant to put a piano in the studio. Tang Cheng gently opened the door a crack, and the sound downstairs faintly reached Tang Cheng's ears, confirming that his intrusion had not been discovered, and Tang Cheng relaxed his tense nerves.
Several rooms on the second floor were quickly searched by Tang Cheng, and no trace of women and children was found, which made Tang Cheng frown secretly, but he had heard Hans say that this British businessman named George had come to Shanghai with his wife and a pair of children. Isn't this George's real residence? Tang Cheng, who found the location of the safe behind a row of bookshelves, couldn't help but be a little puzzled. But at the same time, Tang Cheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he had no way to shoot at the woman and the child.
After confirming that the safe behind the bookshelf required a key and a password to open, Tang Cheng, who took out a black scarf from his carry-on bag and covered his face, secretly tiptoed to move down the corridor to the end of the corridor, and then stopped at the corner of the stairs. Tang Cheng moved here, and the sound downstairs immediately became clear, Tang Cheng squatted down against the wall quietly, he wanted to hear what these British people were discussing here at night.
"George, I still have the same opinion as before, I think the Japanese are right, the matter of medicine is not like the Japanese style of doing things at all. If I were Japanese, I wouldn't be stupid enough to put ** and gasoline in that warehouse, shoot and kill the warehouse guard, and then stupidly stay in the warehouse waiting for you to catch it. Tang Cheng heard a deep voice first, but immediately after this voice, a high-pitched voice appeared.
"Joseph, now is not the time to talk about this, I am concerned about the batch of trauma medicines. How did this batch of medicines come about, I think you should all know, now that something has happened to the medicines, I will not only have to pay compensation, but it is also likely that General McQuay will have an opinion about my execution, which is likely to cause unnecessary trouble to our future business. The owner of the voice was obviously a little angry, and as he spoke, Tang Cheng also heard the sound of slapping on the table.
"George, can you listen to Joseph finish what he has to say?" A third voice appeared, and it sounded unhurried, and it was evident that the owner of this voice was a slow and methodical person. "We naturally know where the medicine is coming from, and the reason why everyone is here is to find a way to solve this problem. So, George, the more this time, the more you can't be in a hurry, and we'll all help you figure it out. ”
"Damn, if I knew who stole those medicines, I would have sent them to hell with my own hands!" The owner of the second voice finally fell silent, and then Tang Cheng heard several other voices. The Englishmen on the first floor were all talking about the medicines, Tang Cheng listened patiently for a while, and felt that there was nothing new, so he slowly got up and stood up.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, I really don't have much interest in hearing you say the same thing over and over here!" Tang Cheng, who was masked and carrying a pistol, quickly slid down the handrail of the stairs to the first floor, and he suddenly appeared, causing these British businessmen on the first floor to look sideways, Tang Cheng glanced around and found that these people had different expressions. "Let's say it first, I'm just here to ask for money, if you are willing to cooperate, I promise not to hurt you, but if you don't cooperate, then I will be sorry for you!"
"How did you get in?" The person who was facing Tang Cheng forced his composure to speak to Tang Cheng, although he didn't show a panicked expression at the moment, but Tang Cheng could hear from the other party's slightly trembling tone that the other party's mood at the moment was not as calm as he had shown.
Hearing this, Tang Cheng just waved his gun lightly, and said with a smile in American English, "Everyone, I have already made my attitude clear, and now is not the time for questions and answers, so don't come and challenge my patience, because that will end badly." With the swing of the muzzle of the gun, the British businessmen remained silent, but it was not difficult to see from their expressions that they were very angry in their hearts.
