Chapter 2: Night Detective

Tang Cheng had a bad trip, not only did he bump into the people of Tegaoke on the way, but he had not seen Hans after that, if he hadn't made sure that the secret stronghold in Shanghai standing in the French Concession was temporarily safe, Tang Cheng would have felt that his luck had been extremely bad. Tang Cheng, who returned to the hotel, did not continue to go out, but calmed down, while concentrating on maintaining and wiping the weapons and equipment in his carry-on equipment bag, while waiting for Hans to call.

Tang Cheng waited until dinner time, and seeing that the rain outside had no intention of stopping, Tang Cheng also extinguished the idea of going out to eat, and just asked the people from the hotel to send some cooked food to the room. Waiting for the sky outside to gradually darken, Tang Cheng finally waited for Hans's call, confirming that the person on the other end of the phone was Tang Cheng, who had not seen him for several months, and Hans on the other end of the phone was very happy. "Tang, my friend, it's great that you're finally in Shanghai again!"

Hans's enthusiasm is not a good thing to Tang Cheng, according to Tang Cheng's understanding of him, the more enthusiastic Hans shows, the more it means that Hans has something to ask him for help. Sure enough, Hans on the other end of the phone immediately continued, "Don, my friend, I happen to have a very troublesome matter here, can you lend a helping hand and help me once?" In return, as long as you need it and I can do it, I will provide you with the most selfless help! ”

Hans is worthy of being a senior black market broker and intelligence dealer, he has long known the relationship between Tang Cheng and the military commander, and he has already guessed that Tang Cheng's sudden appearance in Shanghai is definitely not as simple as coming to play. Since Tang Cheng chose to come to Shanghai to find himself, this means that Tang Cheng must have a place to turn to him for help, and Hans will waste such a good opportunity in vain, so without waiting for Tang Cheng to explain his intentions, he first asked Tang Cheng to help him do things.

"Hans, you're not only a very nasty fellow, but you're also a very templative profiteer." Since they have all been seen through by the other party, what else can Tang Cheng say on the phone, he can only use a joking tone and is forced to agree to Hans's request. "I can help you with some trouble, but you promised yourself that you would help me. If you can't do what you just promised, I don't think that friendship between me and you will be any more. ”

Hearing that Tang Cheng agreed to his request on the phone, Hans on the other end of the phone forcibly controlled his emotions, and while shaking his legs, he also made a promise to Tang Cheng again. "Don, we're old friends, you should believe me!" Hans, who was overjoyed, slowed down his speech, "I bought a batch of arms some time ago, I don't know how the Japanese knew about it, the people of Tegaoke are now tracking down this batch of arms, you must know that this batch of arms is worth a lot of money, I will never allow them to be taken away by the Japanese in vain..."

Hans originally planned to explain the matter to Tang Cheng first, but before he finished speaking, Tang Cheng on the other end of the phone made a plan. "So what do you want? Kill the Japanese who are tracking this matter? Or do you want me to help you transfer the arms? He didn't notice anything wrong with Hans on the other end of the phone, and Tang Cheng's vigilance relaxed, and there was a joke in his words.

"Oh God! Don, we haven't seen each other for a few months, how did you become so tyrannical now? I'm a businessman, and even if business doesn't work, I won't use killing as a solution to my problem! Hans on the other end of the phone was like an actor who entered the play in an instant, and Tang Cheng, who was full of nonsense, laughed secretly. When Tang Cheng first met Hans, he helped this product kill a British arms dealer who was stealing business, so Hans said at the moment that he didn't like to use killing as a solution to the problem, and Tang Cheng absolutely didn't believe it.

"Tang, I think so, I know that you have a close relationship with the military commander. I heard that the military commander is very powerful now, can you help me contact the military commander through your channel, and say that I have a batch of arms from Europe that will be sold at a reduced price. Hans, who finally said his purpose, chuckled lightly on the other end of the phone, but Tang Cheng on the other side of the phone frowned secretly. If there is no strong backer background, the only outcome is to be swallowed by someone, especially Hans's plan also involves the military commander, Tang Cheng doesn't want to participate in this matter.

"Hans, arms should be in high demand at the moment, why do you have to sell them to the military commanders? If you say that you know the situation of the military commanders, then you should know that the military commanders are only an intelligence department, and they do not go to the front line to participate in the war. Since they don't take part in the war, what do they do with the arms you have? That will attract the deliberate attention of the upper echelons! The military commander will never make such a low-level mistake! Tang Cheng said something against his will on the phone because he didn't want to be involved with arms.

After a slight pause on the other end of the phone, Hans immediately changed the subject and asked about the purpose of Tang Cheng's visit to Shanghai. Tang Cheng didn't want to hide it from Hans when he heard this, "There are traitors within the military command, and one of my elders is responsible for dealing with traitors, and I came to Shanghai this time to help this elder clean up the traitors." Tang Cheng's words were not very clear, but Hans already understood what Tang Cheng meant, and this matter must be related to Shanghai Tegaoke.

"Tang, since that's the case, why don't we join forces! The traitor you came to Shanghai to find must have become a guest of Shanghai Tegaoke, and my opponent is also them. Rather than the two of us doing our own thing, let's join forces to deal with them together. We had a good foundation of cooperation before, and I had a natural dislike for Japanese people, so I was happy to see them unlucky! Hans's words had seriously deviated, but the meaning he wanted to express had already been handed to Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng went to Hans today, originally to get Hans's help, but at this moment, when he heard Hans say that he wanted to join forces against the Japanese, he only groaned slightly in his heart, so he immediately agreed. "Hans, it's not impossible to cooperate, but let's talk about it first, I won't stay in Shanghai for a long time this time, and you can't expect me to help you settle everything!" According to Tang Cheng's understanding of Hans, this profiteer-like guy would definitely bite the other if he seized an opportunity that could be exploited, so he had to warn the other party first.

Tang Cheng came to Shanghai twice before, and helped Hans deal with a lot of troubles, and with a few drawings provided by Tang Cheng, Hans had already received two crosses from the Führer in Berlin. In other words, Tang Cheng can definitely be regarded as Hans's hit nobleman, and he is also a great nobleman. If he could see Tang Cheng again this time, how could Hans easily let Tang Cheng leave, hearing Tang Cheng's reminder, Hans, who had a weird smile on the other end of the phone, directly chose to ignore it.

"Okay! Yes! Yes! You can say whatever you want, but let's talk about it first, you must help me this time! "Hans on the other end of the phone insisted that he had the home advantage, and promised Tang Cheng as much as possible on the phone, as for what happened afterwards, it was two words." I just went back to the restaurant, did you come to me, or did I come to see you? Hans, who had had enough of greetings on the phone, finally mentioned the meeting.

It was still raining outside, and it was getting dark, so Tang Cheng, who didn't want to go out, immediately set the time for the meeting to be tomorrow, and Hans on the other end of the phone did not object. In the early hours of the morning, the rain finally stopped after a day and a night, and Tang Cheng, who had changed into dark clothes, quietly slid down the back window of the hotel. For the neon-lit city of Shanghai, it is also bustling after the early hours of the morning, and some of the main streets are still crowded with people, among which there are a large number of people of the three religions and nine streams.

All the way down the secluded alley to the east, half an hour later, Tang Cheng appeared downstairs at the secret stronghold of the military command Shanghai Station in the French Concession. During the day, Tang Cheng had already been here, and he had already seen the surrounding situation, so he didn't plan to come over in the middle of the night, and the phone call from Hans was the main reason for Tang Cheng's change of decision. Tang Cheng, who was standing in the shadow downstairs, looked up, and there was no light in the windows upstairs, but Tang Cheng didn't move immediately, just stood quietly.

About a quarter of an hour later, Tang Cheng, who was standing in the shadows downstairs, made a move, first threw out his flying claws to hook the roof of the building, and then activated his light body skills, so he followed the thin rope under the flying claws and climbed to the eaves of the window sill on the second floor in a few clicks. Through the window, Tang Cheng didn't hear a sound in the window, but he still maintained the necessary vigilance, and even the action of cutting the glass with a glass knife was very light. After a few breaths, Tang Cheng, who had used a glass knife, easily opened the window in front of him.

Pushing open the window, Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the eaves of the window, found that the room inside the window seemed to be just a study. The materials that had been arranged into the study seemed a little empty, a bookshelf, a table, and a chair that didn't really go anywhere. Tang Cheng tiptoed down from the windowsill, first carefully examined the situation in the room, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the room, he quickly moved to the door, leaning sideways and leaning his left ear against the door.

There was no sound outside the door, Tang Cheng slowly twisted the doorknob, then pulled the door open and poked his head out. The door was a hallway, Tang Cheng looked very carefully, and just as he was about to enter the hall, he suddenly heard a voice in his ears. Tang Cheng, who just poked his head out of the crack in the door, turned around quickly, and he could close the door here, and the other door diagonally across the foyer was pushed open from the outside, and a man and a woman entered the foyer from the outside.

If it's someone else, in this case, the first reaction is to leave immediately to ensure your own safety. But Tang Cheng is no one else, and the purpose of his coming here is to get information related to the traitor from here, after all, the arrest of the traitor is inseparable from the Shanghai Station.
