Chapter 20: Who Is He?
When Tang Cheng looked up in the night, Zhang Simei was sewing clothes, and before joining the underground party, Zhang Simei was a tailor with good skills. Syllable! The sudden sound on the window made Zhang Simei's heart flash, almost just a breath, and after a breath, Zhang Simei, who had reacted, subconsciously jumped off the bed and turned off the light. When the lights are turned off, there is no way for people outside to see what is going on in the room, while people in the room can take the opportunity to observe the situation outside.
Zhang Simei didn't know whether the sound just now was a wet accident or deliberate, she had always been cautious in underground party work for a long time, and after turning off the lights, she lowered her figure, quietly moved to the window sill, and slowly opened a gap in the curtains. Zhang Simei, who opened the curtains, saw nothing unusual, so she slowly probed and tried to observe the situation outside the house through the gaps in the curtains. It's a pity that the outside of the window is also pitch black, and Zhang Simei, who is hidden behind the curtains, doesn't find anything.
Maybe I'm too nervous! Zhang Simei, who didn't notice anything unusual, felt that maybe she was making a fuss, but just when she relaxed her vigilance, the mud pills flying from not far away broke a piece of glass on the window into several pieces. Yes! Zhang Simei, who exclaimed in her mouth, stretched out her hand to protect her head and face, but fortunately, the broken glass that fell from the window frame did not hurt her. Zhang Simei, who was waiting to react, stepped back and left the windowsill, and another mud pellet flew into the room from the broken window frame.
This is definitely not a child's play, Zhang Simei, who did not dare to turn on the light, curled up in the corner of the room, blocking the wardrobe and a chair in front of her. After about an hour, Zhang Simei, who was gradually dissipating the panic in her heart, gritted her teeth and got up from the floor. It was pitch black outside the window and I couldn't see anything clearly, Zhang Simei, who came back to her senses, had the courage to turn on the light, and there was light in the room, and Zhang Simei saw two mud pills on the ground.
Hey? Zhang Simei found that the two mud pills on the floor were not the same, and one of the mud pills was wrapped in a layer of paper. Slowly peeling off the layer of paper on the mud pills, Zhang Simei finally realized that the person outside the room who broke the glass with the mud pills was actually just to pass on a message to herself. Using this method to transmit news, Zhang Simei immediately judged that the other party was definitely not a person in the underground party organization, but who the other party was, Zhang Simei would also be confused.
Early the next morning, Zhang Simei rushed to Buzhuang and handed the note peeled off from the mud pill last night to the shopkeeper of Buzhuang. Buzhuang is a contact point for the Shanghai underground party, and everyone, including Buzhuang's fellow party, is a member of the Shanghai underground party organization. "Fourth sister, what do you mean?" Feng Heli, the shopkeeper of Buzhuang, read the note brought by Zhang Simei, and while he was shocked, he turned his head to look at Zhang Simei.
"I don't know!" Zhang Simei, who didn't sleep well all night, told the truth, the content on the note was too tempting, but Zhang Simei also knew that there was no good thing in the world to drop pies. "I'm thinking now, was I being followed yesterday? Otherwise, how could that man have found me so accurately last night? But I pondered the man's actions, as if the other party was really just trying to deliver this news to me, and there was nothing else to do! ”
Zhang Simei's heart is very conflicted at the moment, on the one hand, she hopes that what is written on the note is true, but on the other hand, she is worried that it is a trap. But after she left the residence today, not only did she temporarily change her travel route, but Zhang Simei also changed her dress and direction twice on the way, but she didn't find anyone following her. "We'll need time to verify the accuracy of this message." After thinking about it, Zhang Simei gave a fairly pertinent answer.
Feng Heli nodded silently when he heard this, Zhang Simei's answer was exactly what he thought in his heart, if you are an underground party, you must not mess up your position in case of trouble, and safety is the first place. "It's just that what about the meeting?" The message on the note can be painstakingly sent someone to verify, but the other party's request for a meeting cannot be avoided. If the news on the note is true, and they refuse to meet with each other because they are worried, then this great opportunity may be missed by the Shanghai underground party organization.
"I'm going alone!" Zhang Simei nodded heavily, in Feng Heli's memory, Zhang Simei had never spoken so solemnly as now. "I went to meet alone, and the man was looking for me, and although I don't know what that man meant, I think that since he is willing to tell us the news, he should not do anything to me! And according to my analysis, that person may only find me, so it is most appropriate for me to meet alone. ”
has been partnered with Zhang Simei for many years, how could Feng Heli not know Zhang Simei's temper, seeing that Zhang Simei had already made up his mind, Feng Heli had no choice but to retreat and send two buddies from Buzhuang to Zhang Simei as backup. Just when Zhang Simei was preparing for the meeting, Tang Cheng, who had already left the hotel, was already standing on the roof of a three-story small building accompanied by Hans, observing a warehouse a few hundred meters in front of him from a distance.
"Don, the batch of medicines I mentioned are now stored in that warehouse! Originally, according to the information I inquired, this batch of medicines should have been transported to the Shiliupu Wharf three days ago, but strangely, until now, this batch of medicines is still in this warehouse. I've been sending people to find out why, but it's okay to at least give us a chance to do it. Hans, who was standing beside Tang Cheng, was looking determined to win at the moment.
Tang Cheng just glanced at Hans when he heard this, and said in his heart that this is in the territory of the concession after all, and if the movement is too big, he may force the Ministry of Industry and the patrol room of the concession to make some crazy moves. Xu was aware of Tang Cheng's concern, and Hans chuckled, "Don, I know what you're worried about!" Only this time, I already have a plan! The ones you worry about will soon be no longer a nuisance, I assure you! Hans dared to say it so hard, Tang Cheng knew that the other party must be prepared.
Sure enough, as Tang Cheng expected, Hans chuckled a few times before finally continuing. "I got the news that the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession was going to hold a reception soon, supposedly for a welcome reception for a member of the royal family who had traveled to the Asian continent. At that time, many prominent people in the concession will attend this reception, and the high-level officials of the Ministry of Industry and the patrol house of the concession will also attend the reception. ”
"The British royal family came to Shanghai, this is a big event, and the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession will definitely order the patrol house to vigorously rectify the law and order situation in the concession during the period before the start of the reception. We are not ruffians or gangsters, so the benefits of such a law and order rectification outweigh the disadvantages for us. The law and order in the concession has been rectified, and the British, who have stored medicines in the warehouses in the concession, will also relax their vigilance, and this is precisely the best time for us to do it. Hans's plan sounds very general, but if you think about it, the general direction of the plan is fine.
Tang Cheng, who had been observing the warehouse with a telescope, shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, saying that he didn't care, "Okay, everything is up to you, I will stay in Shanghai temporarily during this time, if you feel that the time is up, just let me know!" Tang Cheng didn't care if the British royals came to Shanghai, he had been standing here with Hans for more than an hour, and he was in a hurry to return to the French Concession to meet with the people of the underground party in Shanghai.
Agreed to meet with the Shanghai Underground Party, this was originally the temporary rise of Tang Cheng, and at this moment, listening to Hans say that the time to do it was in these few days, Tang Cheng felt that it was a little late for him to contact the Shanghai Underground Party. Tang Cheng's mission to Shanghai has been completed, and according to the plan, Tang Cheng should have left Shanghai two days ago. But the batch of medicines that Hans said was too tempting, and Tang Cheng had to get them before returning to Chongqing anyway.
Tang Cheng had returned to the French Concession an hour later, and according to the time he gave Zhang Simei last night, Tang Cheng arrived at the agreed meeting place half an hour in advance. A few days ago, in this movie theater, Tang Cheng took out a Japanese spy who was following him. Today is still here, and in half an hour, Tang Cheng will secretly meet with the members of the Shanghai underground party organization in this movie theater, and discuss the matter of medicine with each other.
Unlike last time, Tang Cheng, who rushed here, did not immediately enter the cinema, although he had already seen that the middle-aged woman from yesterday had entered the cinema, but Tang Cheng still pretended to buy something in the shop opposite the cinema. Zhang Simei, who walked into the cinema at the appointed time, has looked down at her watch for the fourth time, and now a quarter of an hour has passed since the appointed time, but Zhang Simei did not find the person who met her in the cinema.
Is this really a trap? However, according to Zhang Simei's observation of the situation in the movie theater, it seems that there are no suspicious people in the movie theater. The movie has already started for a while, and Zhang Simei, who has adapted to the dim light in the movie theater, looked around her side, and among the more than 20 people in the movie theater, she came alone. Just when Zhang Simei was still anxious, from the position behind her, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Don't look back, I'm the one who sent you the message last night, I'm sorry, I broke the glass of your window last night." The voice behind her was not loud, and Zhang Simei did not look back according to her words, but she was secretly judging the situation of the person who spoke in her heart. Judging from the voice of the other party, the other party's youth should not be very large, and the faint smell of smoke that can be smelled in the nasal cavity indicates that the other party is a man. Just when Zhang Simei secretly guessed Tang Cheng's identity, Tang Cheng had already stuffed a heavy cloth bag to Zhang Simei, Zhang Simei just pinched a handful of cloth bags with her hands, and she had already judged that the cloth bag should be wrapped with gold bars.
