Joseph's words silenced Tang Cheng for a moment, and then he took out two gold bars from his coat pocket and pushed them to Joseph. "Joseph, this matter is very important to me, and I hope you can help me with all your might." As he spoke, Tang Cheng turned his head to look at Hans, "Hans, Joseph must help me immediately, if you need help, you can tell me, and I will do my best to help you." But from now on, Joseph had to follow me until he helped me find the Japanese. ”

In the process of interacting with Hans, Tang Cheng has always disliked forcing each other, but this time, he can't care so much in the panic in his heart, and when he talks to Hans, his tone is already obviously compulsive. Tang Cheng's strength made Hans speechless, but Joseph, who was born greedy for money, didn't care about it, because the four gold bars that Tang Cheng took out had already been put into his pocket early.

Although Joseph was greedy for money, Tang Cheng knew that he was a master who would do things as long as he received money, and the price he just gave was not low. Joseph's greedy nature made Hans speechless, but he did not stop Joseph, after all, he only came to Nanjing to do a private matter. Hans did not tell Tang Cheng the purpose of his visit to Nanjing, and Tang Cheng did not ask, but immediately left the shoe store with Joseph. As the old saying goes, cats have cats, mice, and rats, although Joseph can't be regarded as a qualified intelligence agent, he has a very good way to find out information.

Early the next morning, Joseph, who had not slept all night, called Tang Cheng, saying that Tang Cheng had already made an eye on what he wanted him to do, and Tang Cheng was overjoyed when he heard it. "Uncle Cao, I'll go out to do some errands, and you arrange someone to drive me, lest you say that I don't follow the rules." After coming back last night, he was preached by Cao Wanchun, and Tang Cheng, who was tired of it, was going to go out, so he took the initiative to find Cao Wanchun to arrange someone to drive him.

The place where Tang Cheng met Joseph was his leather goods shop, and the person sent by Cao Wanchun was left in the car by Tang Cheng, "Tang, can you tell me why you have to find the person in the photo?" Joseph, who had obviously made a gain, looked in good spirits, although he hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were bloodshot at the moment, but there was obviously a hint of relief in his tone. Tang Cheng didn't answer Joseph immediately, but just stretched out his right hand to the other party, who took out a stack of papers and handed it to Tang Cheng.

"These are all the news I found last night, I have made a preliminary summary, although the person in the photo has not been found, but I guarantee that as long as he is in this Nanjing City, before dark today, I will definitely receive news related to him." Joseph grabbed the cigarette on the table and lit one, the corner of his eye was secretly paying attention to Tang Cheng's reaction, and at this moment he was secretly worried in his heart, after all, Tang Cheng was looking for him to find the person in the photo.

Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to Joseph's small movements, just looked down at the news that Joseph had summarized, and seeing that Tang Cheng's expression was not annoyed, Joseph immediately put his mind at ease, and immediately spoke out for Tang Cheng to interpret the news he had summarized. "I knew that you should be looking for Japanese, so I found my informant, and the people in and out of Nanjing during this time were very messy, especially at the Shimonoseki Wharf. My informant was sure that at least three waves of possibly Japanese guys entered the city of Nanking during this time, totaling more than thirty people. ”

Joseph's words made Tang Cheng's brows furrow secretly, just there were more than thirty suspicious people suspected of being Japanese at the Shimonoseki Wharf, and Tang Cheng really didn't know what the use of those plainclothes secret talks arranged by the Intelligence Department on the Shimonoseki Wharf was. "Of these three groups, my informant can only determine the location of one of them, and the exact number and address are at the bottom of the second page. The whereabouts of the other two groups, I only know the approximate location now, and the details may not be known until lunchtime. ”

Joseph, who had a cigarette in his mouth, pointed and poked on the pieces of paper in Tang Cheng's hand, but his thumb and index finger would always habitually make gestures to count the money. "Okay, then you can stay in the store and wait for your people to deliver the news, I'll leave first, and I'll come back at lunchtime." Tang Cheng immediately put away the papers, deliberately ignoring the hopeful expression on Joseph's face, and turned around and walked out of the store.

Joseph, who was lost in his heart, looked at Tang Cheng's back, but he just opened his mouth but didn't say anything, but just when his eyes were dull and full of disappointment, Tang Cheng, who had already walked to the door of the store, suddenly turned around and walked back. "Ha, I almost forgot! It's a thank you for your hard work last night, and if I had heard better news when it was time for lunch, maybe you'd get a thank you! With Tang Cheng's slightly smiling words, a yellow and clear gold bar was slapped by Tang Cheng on the table in front of Joseph.

Joseph, who was originally disappointed in his heart, also immediately became energetic, and without waiting for Tang Cheng to turn around and leave the leather goods store, he held the gold bar on the table tightly in his hand, and anyone who saw that greedy look couldn't help laughing out loud. Tang Cheng was full of calculations, and only stayed here for three or five minutes with Joseph, and then immediately returned to the small courtyard to find Cao Wanchun under the driver's puzzled gaze.

"Uncle Cao, contact the director, just say that I have an urgent situation here that needs to be reported." Tang Cheng, who had already linked the three waves of suspicious people mentioned by Joseph with the Nanjing City Defense in his heart, was full of panic at this moment. He now finally understands why there was a riot in Nanjing when the Nationalist army was defending Nanjing City and fighting fiercely with Japan in history, and the Japanese had quietly sent a large number of lurking operatives to Nanjing City long before launching the Battle of Songhu.

The Japanese deployed operations in Nanjing in advance, which could be used to transmit information to the outside world, or to create riots behind the defenders after the outbreak of war, and even as a surprise attack on the defenders' headquarters or hospitals. Cao Wanchun left to make a phone call, and Tang Cheng, who was terrified, got up and circled around the room, once the war broke out, it would definitely be unsafe here in Nanjing, but he couldn't sit back and watch the Japanese lurkers in the city move around.

Is it to carelessly give up his life? Or according to his previous arrangement, for the sake of his family, he fled to Chongqing? This is obviously a dilemma, if it was placed half a year ago, Tang Cheng, who was still working hard for food and clothing, would definitely choose Mingzhe to protect himself and go south to Chongqing, but after experiencing so many things, Tang Cheng's state of mind has still changed. I don't know what Cao Wanchun said to the director on the phone, the latter came quickly, and Tang Cheng hadn't been able to make a choice yet, and the director who only took Secretary Yao had already driven over.

"Seat, this is some news that I asked a friend to inquire about, this friend of mine has been in the black market all year round, and he has his own set of information inquiries." In front of the commissioner, Tang Cheng could not say that Joseph was actually a black market intelligence dealer, so he could only say that Joseph was very good at gathering information. The director also knew that Tang Cheng's words were just a rhetoric, but he didn't pursue it, but just motioned for Tang Cheng to continue.

"This friend of mine said that recently, there have been many suspicious people entering and leaving Nanjing. I did a preliminary screening and summary of the information he collected, and the results confirmed that three groups of people were very suspicious. However, time is very tight, and I can only confirm the specific location of one of the groups now, and the specific situation of the other two groups will take time to find out. At this point, Tang Cheng suddenly paused, and at the same time looked up at the director, his eyes revealing a strange color.

The director froze slightly, then reacted, and then raised his hand at Secretary Yao, who turned around and walked out of the room. There were only three people left in the room, Tang Cheng, Cao Wanchun and the director, but with Secretary Yao leaving, the atmosphere in the room was obviously solemn. "I remember that after I came back from Shanghai, in Uncle Zhang's report, I mentioned that I got a piece of news from the Japanese, that is, the news that the Japanese army in Shanghai conducted targeted training for overseas Chinese in Shanghai."

Hearing this, the director nodded slightly, admitting that he had seen this in Zhang Jianghe's report, and Tang Cheng immediately continued. "Seat, I assure you, that I received this news from an officer of the Japanese military police. This Japanese officer named Heigoro Narikawa, who had a fellow military officer, was on a mission to train expatriates in the gendarmerie unit. Tang Cheng suddenly pulled the topic to Shanghai, and neither the director nor Cao Wanchun knew what Tang Cheng wanted to say for a while.

"You think, the Japanese army has already stationed a large number of military police units in Shanghai, and they also have warships in Shanghai, so why do they need to send officers to train Japanese expatriates in Shanghai?" Tang Cheng couldn't tell the two people in front of him directly, so he could only make up half-truths and half-truths to lure the two directors to ponder what they wanted to express, even if the director asked the Shanghai station to verify the news, they would also find out that the Japanese army in Shanghai had a plan to secretly arm the expatriates in Shanghai.

The director was still secretly pondering Tang Cheng's words, but Cao Wanchun had already exclaimed at this moment, "Xiao Wu, do you mean that the Japanese are going to do it in Shanghai?" They train expatriates in Shanghai because of insufficient troops? Cao Wanchun originally wanted to say that since the Japanese army had warships in Shanghai, why didn't they use warships to transport cases to Shanghai, why did they bother to train overseas Chinese in Shanghai. But Cao Wanchun is a person from the intelligence department after all, and compared with outsiders, Cao Wanchun has more access to a lot of information related to the Japanese army. The estrangement and struggle between the Japanese army and navy have been going on for a long time, and it is not impossible for such a thing to happen if the Japanese army in Shanghai needs warships to transfer troops and the Japanese navy does not cooperate.
