Chapter 53: Safe
As Tang Cheng had seen from a distance before, the two female students did look young, but Tang Cheng did not see the traces left by the southward journey on their faces and hands. Tang Cheng carefully checked the collar of the female student surnamed Yang, and the slight bulge in the collar made Tang Cheng's expression relaxed. Sewing poison into the collar is the usual method used by agents, and those who use this method in the territory of Chongqing can only be Japanese puppet spies.
Tang Cheng took out a short knife, cut off the collar of the other party, and then found a steel needle in the hairpin of this female student surnamed Yang. The female team member under Tang Cheng also quickly found suspicious powder and two strange-looking steel needles from the clothes of another female student. "Be careful, the needle may have poison on it!" Tang Cheng, who felt that the steel needles were strange, reminded the female team members, who could only tear strips of cloth from the clothes of one of the female students and carefully wrap the two steel needles.
The laundry pool of the student training camp is in the northeast corner of the camp, and it is rarely noticed except for the people who come here to wash clothes. Waiting for Bai Zhanshan and them to come over quickly from a distance, two male students with books under their armpits turned out of the corner of the wall, and happened to see Bai Zhanshan and them, and then saw the situation in the laundry pool. It's a bit far away, and the two of them can see the specific situation on the laundry pool, but they can also see a rough idea.
I saw two student-looking women falling in a low voice, a young man in a tunic and a woman dressed as an administrator, who seemed to be rummaging for something on the two female classmates. The two male students, who had not really come into contact with society, immediately felt that things did not seem normal, and the two looked at each other, and immediately turned around and ran back. The two male students, obviously not fleeing out of timidity, looked like they were going to call someone.
Bai Zhanshan and the others, who were all on the side of the laundry pool, did not notice the two male students, and when they moved quickly to the side of the laundry pool, Tang Cheng and the female team member had already finished checking the two people on the ground. "There was a problem with both, white powder was found from their collars, and two steel needles were found, which I looked like they had been smeared with poison." When Tang Cheng spoke, the female team member opened the cloth bag and showed Bai Zhanshan the two steel needles.
Before Bai Zhanshan joined the Lixing Society, he was a man in the rivers and lakes, and he knew a lot of methods in the rivers and lakes after a long time, including the hand of smearing poison on weapons. Bai Zhanshan stretched out his hand to carefully hold the cloth bag, approached and sniffed the smell of the steel needle carefully with his nose, and then nodded at Tang Cheng, who had a dignified face. "It's indeed smeared with poison, I smell like a snake venom" Tang Cheng didn't know if Bai Zhanshan's judgment was correct, but he knew that it would not be wrong to treat these steel needles carefully.
The team members who came with Bai Zhanshan were taking out handcuffs and wanted to cuff the two female students, but suddenly heard a burst of shouting in their ears. Tang Cheng, who also heard the shouting, turned his head to look over, and saw a group of students turning from the corner of the wall in front of him, apparently coming towards his side. There were more than 20 students in this group of students, all but a few female students, all of whom were male students in short clothes. "Who are you? Why arrest our classmates? ”
The male student who shouted and asked looked like he should be the oldest among them, and when he shouted and asked, the other students all subconsciously stood behind him. Tang Cheng just looked at these students coldly, but did not speak, and one of his team members stepped forward a few steps in front of these students and showed his police ID. "We are not bad people, arrest people because they are involved in a case, if you are not at ease, you can appoint a representative to supervise the whole process of our case."
Tang Cheng's subordinate said it very clearly, and what he showed the students was a real police ID, but the students standing opposite were suspicious, after all, they had never experienced such a scene. "No, you can't trust them, if classmate Yang and classmate Zhou are taken away by them, they can casually accuse the two classmates, and at that time, if we want to stop it, it will be too late!" The male student at the head originally looked moved, but among the students behind him, another voice suddenly appeared.
This sudden voice seemed to be very inflammatory, and the students, who were originally a little timid, actually took a few steps forward and approached Tang Cheng and the others. Originally, he just followed the search team's case-handling process, and the team member who wanted to easily solve this trouble was a little undecided, so he had to retreat and stand behind Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng still didn't take the initiative to talk to the students, he just leaned sideways and whispered to Bai Zhanshan to explain to Bai Zhanshan what the team member did just now.
"In the past, when we carried out a strike hard operation in the city, we often encountered some obstruction from bystanders, and if our people made a move, some people who were hiding in the shadows to find an opportunity to do something would jump out to stop the whole city from striking hard. Later, we formulated some rules on the case-handling process, if someone prevents the arrest or obstructs the case, you must first show your police identity, and if it cannot be solved, you can also invite the other party as a supervisor to understand and participate in the entire investigation process of the case. ”
Tang Cheng's explanation, Bai Zhanshan, who listened to it, frowned, whether it was in Nanjing or Wuhan, when the military commander arrested people, he would never speak so well. Xu is aware of what Bai Zhanshan was thinking at the moment, Tang Cheng then laughed in a low voice, "Uncle Bai, you also know that these old policemen under me, although they are old, there are few who are really literate. It's pretty good that they've been able to get to where they are now, so I've never been too them. ”
"In a case like today's, the previous regulations do not actually apply, because this is an espionage case and not an ordinary law and order case. However, I support taking the initiative to show these students their police IDs. There are Japanese puppet spies lurking in them, we can slowly screen them, but we can't catch all of them. He had already seen that Bai Zhanshan was a little impatient, Tang Cheng had no choice but to tactfully express his attitude, he didn't want Bai Zhanshan to make a big move here.
The students didn't want Tang Cheng to take away those two female students, and Tang Cheng couldn't directly say that these two female students were spies lurking among them. If it were someone else here, it would probably have a conflict with these students, and no matter how big or small the conflict was, it might be transmitted to the city government afterwards, which would be very unfavorable to Zhang Jianghe. However, Tang Cheng is not an ordinary person, after explaining to Bai Zhanshan in a low voice, Tang Cheng nodded at the male student led by the other side, and motioned for the other party to go and talk to him.
Tang Cheng's age looks slightly younger than the other party, but the momentum on his body makes Tang Cheng look more mature than the other party. "What do you call it?" Tang Cheng first asked the other party's name and school, and then talked about the arrest. "I have shown you the documents just now, we are all police officers from the Chongqing Police Department, and these two female students are indeed involved in a case, we must take them away, this is not negotiable." Tang Cheng's words revealed obvious strength.
"There are so many things about these two female classmates of yours that it's inconvenient for me to tell you. You just need to know that this department of mine is dedicated to dealing with Japanese puppet spies, and that's enough. When Tang Cheng said the words to deal with the Japanese puppet spies, the male student suddenly froze, and then looked at Tang Cheng with an expression of disbelief. Tang Chao didn't continue, but just unbuttoned his shirt slightly, so that the other party could see the pistol in the holster under his armpit.
"You followed the division commander all the way south, hoping to have a quiet place to continue your studies, and the experience along the way can be regarded as a tempering for you. At least you have walked all the way, watched all the way, and should have an understanding of the current China. I hope you can cherish this hard-won opportunity, study hard, and do things other than study, and you had better do less, because it is contrary to your original intention. Tang Cheng's words sounded a little confused, but the meaning of them, the male student seemed to have understood a little.
Tang Cheng's words at this moment sounded quite old-fashioned, and it was a bit contradictory to Tang Cheng's slightly immature face. "If you just won't believe me, then I can give you a guarantee that every other day, I will call the administrator here to inform you of the progress of the case. When we concentrate on the execution of the Japanese puppet spies, I can even invite you and your classmates to watch the execution, and at that time, it will be possible to make public the information about this case. ”
For these students who went south to study, the Japanese puppet spies seemed to be a very distant thing, and the two female students they controlled in Tangcheng obviously looked very honest, but why were they arrested by the police. After some confrontation and explanation, Tang Cheng and the others finally took away the two female students smoothly, but on the way back to the barracks, Bai Zhanshan was still puzzled by Tang Cheng's actions just now. The military command is a privileged department, and when Bai Zhanshan arrested people in the past, where did they need to explain to unrelated people, just take people away.
"Uncle Bai, this is Chongqing, a city full of robe brothers, and the robe brother forces pay attention to righteousness first, and everything must be reasonable. I didn't just reason with those students, I just told them the fact that no matter whether this matter will be turned over in the future or not, I don't think this matter will cause us trouble. Tang Cheng's answer sounded a little indifferent, but after Bai Zhanshan pondered it carefully, he found that Tang Cheng's way of solving the matter seemed to be a bit of a loss of face for the military commander, but in fact, it was the best solution.
