Chapter 49: The Opportunity Has Arrived
Night finally fell again, and the Hongkou district, which had been noisy all day due to the total lockdown and search, finally quieted down. They will join forces with plainclothes agents and police officers of the Special High School Division to continue patrolling and searching Hongkou District at night. Tang Cheng drilled out of the tunnel after nightfall, Meimei slept all day, and now it was the time when his physical strength was the most sufficient, and Tang Cheng, who quietly climbed out of the courtyard, prepared to follow last night's route, and quietly approached Yokomoto Ichiro's residence.
Tang Cheng, who had been to Hongkou District more than once, was quite familiar with the situation in Hongkou District, and after avoiding several military police patrols along the road, Tang Cheng, dressed in black, quietly climbed onto the roof of an izakaya. Standing on the roof of this izakaya, no matter how far away Karajo looked, he couldn't see Ichiro Yokomoto's residence. But if you only count the straight-line distance between the izakaya and Yokomoto Ichiro's residence, the location of Karajo is definitely within a kilometer.
Within a kilometer range, this is another limitation on the use of new skills, and the reason why Tang Cheng chose this izakaya is because he knows that this izakaya has the background of the gendarmerie headquarters, and ordinary military police patrols will not actively search for it. There are not a few guests in the izakaya, but no one will notice the roof above their heads, and Tang Cheng on the roof is still dressed in black, with the cover of night, Tang Cheng on the roof only needs to lower his body, and he will definitely not be easily discovered.
Outside the izakaya, military police patrols passed by from time to time, and what happened last night made the gendarmerie headquarters furious, and the number of military police patrols in the completely locked down Hongkou district has more than tripled since the morning. Tang Cheng, who was lying on the roof, did not move immediately, he just waited quietly, although the new skill he had drawn before could solve the trouble he was facing, but the new skill not only had restrictions on its use, but also had certain side effects, Tang Cheng was secretly weighing the gains and losses at the moment.
There is only one side effect of the new skill, that is, after Tang Cheng uses the new skill, the system will record the use time of the new skill, and once Tang Cheng completes the task and closes this skill, the side effects of the new skill will appear immediately. The time to join Tang Cheng to use the new skill is 6 hours, then the side effects after the use of the new skill will last for 12 hours, and within these 12 hours, Tang Cheng will not only have no way to use any of the system skills, but his physical strength and endurance will be limited by 50% by the system.
There will be no free lunch in the world, Tang Cheng really understands this sentence at this moment, the new skill is indeed powerful, it can help Tang Cheng search for the location of the target in the vast sea of people, and lock the other party, but the side effects of 2 times the time also make Tang Cheng hesitate. The reason why Tang Cheng repeatedly blackmailed the people of the special high class in the concession was because of his system skills and his physical strength and endurance that far exceeded ordinary people. If Tang Cheng couldn't use the system skills, he would probably not be able to get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army after the operation, and his physical strength and endurance were limited.
Tang Cheng, who was lying on the roof at this moment, secretly weighed the pros and cons, and after thinking about it secretly, he finally chose to use the new skill. The assassination of Yokomoto Ichiro was an order issued by the Military Command Headquarters, and if he refused or failed to act, the Military Command Headquarters might not be good on the surface, but they would probably find an excuse to attack Zhang Jianghe afterwards, and then find a way to rectify themselves and the Tang family who had lost their heels. So no matter what, the assassination of Yokomoto Ichiro must continue, otherwise Zhang Jianghe and his family will be in trouble.
With a long breath, Tang Cheng, who had been lying on his stomach, got up and sat up, listening to the laughter and cheers in the izakaya under him, Tang Cheng turned up the light curtain and opened the exclusive page for new skills. For Yokomoto Ichiro, Tang Cheng only knew the name of the other party and the number of the unit to which he belonged, and he didn't know anything else. Fortunately, the new skill can be used even if you just enter the name of the target, and according to the prompt under the light curtain, Tang Cheng entered the name of Yokomoto Ichiro on the new skill-specific page, and then clicked the button to start the search.
At the same time that Tang Cheng clicked the search button with his consciousness, a green light that only Tang Cheng could see suddenly shot out from the light curtain page. The abrupt green ray went straight forward, spanning several blocks in a row, and then split in two, like a radar scan, and the split ray began to rotate 360 degrees. Tang Cheng, who was stunned by the scene in front of him, suddenly found that the exclusive page for the new skill had changed, and the exclusive page after the change looked more like the game map in the online game in the later life.
In just a few breaths, a red dot appeared on the exclusive page that changed into a game map, and there was a text mark below the red dot, indicating that this red dot was the target that Tang Cheng was looking for. This is a goddamn miracle! Tang Cheng, who was shocked again, subconsciously muttered in his heart. He now finally understands why this new skill is a one-off, because this skill is too rebellious! If you can have this skill permanently, I'm afraid there will be no opponent of your own in this world.
Tang Cheng was shocked, but also began to worry in his heart, because after the red dot appeared, a counter immediately appeared at the bottom of the exclusive page, Tang Cheng guessed that this counter should be to record the use time of new skills. No matter how long the new skill was used, the side effects were twice the time the new skill was used, and Tang Cheng subconsciously shuddered at the thought that he had lost all his system skills, and even his physical strength and endurance might not even be as good as that of an ordinary person.
Tang Cheng also experimented with the rule that the new skill coverage distance should not exceed a kilometer, but after the experiment, Tang Cheng suddenly had a new idea in his heart. Ichiro Yokomoto was assassinated in the middle of the night, and it was not only the military police headquarters that was angry, but also the Shanghai Special High School. However, the joint search of the two departments had no effect, at least the comprehensive search launched after the complete blockade of the Hongkou district did not find out the whereabouts of the attackers.
The failure to find the attacker means that Yokomoto Ichiro is always facing danger, and on the surface, he looks tough Yokomoto Ichiro, but in fact he is extremely afraid of death. I am a major general of the empire anyway, why do I have to risk my life to use my life as bait for the special high class? What's more, he belongs to the Kwantung Army, and no matter how long the hand of the special high class is, he can't reach into the Kwantung Army. After some persuasion from his friends, Yokomoto Ichiro, who was supposed to stay in Shanghai for two more days, suddenly felt that it seemed to be a good choice for him to leave Shanghai at this time.
General Yokomoto was about to leave Shanghai, and not many people knew the news, and the search for the military police headquarters was fruitless, and at this time he wished that Yokomoto Ichiro would leave Shanghai as soon as possible. After meeting with a few old friends, Yokomoto Ichiro decided to change his previous itinerary and leave Shanghai a day early, and he boarded the ship directly from the dock in Shanghai. Tang Cheng didn't know the news at the moment, and he had a new idea in his heart, and after leaving the roof of the izakaya that night, he found a new place to stay.
In order to prepare for an attack on the way, Ichiro Yokomoto refused the send-off of a group of high-ranking members of the gendarmerie headquarters, and only agreed to accompany a few old friends. There was only one hour left before the time for the military ship to leave the port, and Yokomoto Ichiro and his party set off from their residence, and slipped through several black cars, and those who did not know the inside story could not find out which car Yokomoto Ichiro was sitting in. The long line of motorcades slowly drove through the streets, and Yokomoto Ichiro, who had been worried all the time, secretly hung his heart, and the assassination that night really scared him.
The convoy drove through two blocks in a row, and Ichiro Yokomoto, who had been on the lookout, was finally relieved when he saw the gendarmes and police appearing on the street from time to time. Gendarmes and police appear on the streets from time to time, which shows that these streets are already under control, although Yokomoto Ichiro is reluctant to admit it, he can also see that these gendarmes and police should be capable veterans. At this moment, Yokomoto Ichiro, who was secretly relieved, didn't know that in the street to the left of the street in front of him, Tang Cheng was already waiting there.
Tang Cheng didn't know the exact time of Yokomoto's departure, but the car Yokomoto Ichiro was riding in appeared within a kilometer range of the new skill's scanning, and a corresponding prompt appeared on the map of the new skill's exclusive page. Tang Cheng, who had already kneeled on one knee and leveled his rifle at this moment, was hidden behind the window of an apartment house facing the street, and standing in this window, he could not actually see the car in which Yokomoto Ichiro was riding. But just now, Tang Cheng discovered another magic of the new skill, the map on the exclusive page of the new skill can be arbitrarily enlarged and reduced with Tang Cheng's consciousness.
As the map zoomed in, Tang Cheng could even know the location of Yokomoto Ichiro in the black car at this moment, and he was originally going to carry out a close-range raid here at the corner of the street, but he suddenly changed his decision. As long as the car in which Yokomoto Ichiro was riding turned right at this street intersection, and Tang Cheng, who was waiting behind the window of the apartment, could lean out in time to shoot him, I believe that Yokomoto Ichiro, who was sitting on the left side of the back of the car, would be killed.
At this moment, Tang Cheng, who was holding a gun in both hands, was secretly adjusting his breathing, had finished loading the bullet, and was silently looking at the prompts of the exclusive page map. The red dots flashing on the map were getting closer and closer to the street entrance, looking at the red dots on the map that had been moving at a constant speed, Tang Cheng knew that the other party definitely did not expect to be attacked immediately.
The police standing here at the corner of the street were already clearing the surrounding pedestrians to make way for the approaching convoy, and Ichiro Yokomoto, who was in the car, was smiling a little more after learning that it was not far from the pier. Almost all of them felt that there would be no more danger, but just as the convoy was about to turn and pass through the street, a window of an apartment building on the left side of the street was suddenly opened, and a figure holding a rifle suddenly leaned out of the window.
