Chapter 66: Accidents
Zhang Xiang has a round head and a round face, he was born with a blessed appearance, and this person is very good at being a person, he has only been in the logistics department for less than three years, and he gets along very well with the top and bottom. It's just that no one would have thought that this fat Zhang who has always been very good at being a man would actually be a traitor insider who was bought by the Japanese with money early. Zhang Xiang's defection to the Japanese was before the Battle of Songhu, and Zhang Xiang, who was corrupted and bought by the Japanese with money, was only an inconspicuous small role in the Ministry of Military Affairs at that time.
No one could have imagined that in just three years, Zhang Xiang had already mixed into the logistics department and sat in the position of deputy section chief. Zhang Xiang was the first batch of vanguard troops of the Ministry of Military Affairs to go south to Chongqing, and the office location of the Ministry of Military Affairs had already been selected, but the interior decoration of the office location and the addition of facilities were very oily. Just like yesterday, Zhang Xiang rushed to the temporary office, and a large group of businessmen, large and small, immediately rushed up, all of them wanted to get the qualification to supply goods from Zhang Xiang.
It was still a busy morning, and when it was time for lunch, Zhang Xiang's office gradually quieted down, and Zhang Xiang, who refused to invite him to dinner, looked a little impatient at the moment, but in fact, his heart was already happy. Under Zhang Xiang's desk, there is a box full of red envelopes and gift boxes sent by merchants. Zhang Xiang knew that these red envelopes would definitely not contain a few fiat currencies.
Zhang Xiang naturally will not monopolize these benefits received in person, he will at least give a share to his boss, and also share some to several people under him, and the rest is his. It took a little time, Zhang Xiang counted the money and goods sent by the merchants in the box, and he left the office to have lunch satisfied. Zhang Xiang's lunch is usually solved nearby, perhaps because of today's excellent mood, Zhang Xiang did not go to the place he often went to eat, but found a good restaurant by himself.
Zhang Xiang didn't know at this moment that from the moment he walked out of the office, he was already under the surveillance and tracking of Tangcheng them. Seeing Zhang Xiang slowly walking into the restaurant across the street, Tang Cheng immediately went to put down the hat on his head and held it in his hand, and when he saw his signal, three passers-by on the street immediately entered the restaurant. "Captain, is it to deal with a dog traitor, can you be so careful?" Lao Fu, who followed behind Tang Cheng, was very puzzled in his heart.
Hearing this, Tang Cheng turned around and looked at Lao Fu, "This Zhang Xiang is just a small character, and if he kills, he will be killed, but the heat behind him is very troublesome." The above means that this Zhang Xiang must die, but it will be like an accident. At that time, even if the person behind him wants to find the back account, there is no evidence that it has anything to do with us and the military commander, and I am afraid it will not be easy to open his mouth! Tang Cheng's answer made Lao Fu even more puzzled, in his opinion, killing is killing people, why do you have to come up with so many tricks.
Tang Cheng had been waiting outside the restaurant, but fortunately Zhang Xiang ate quickly, about half an hour or so, Zhang Xiang, who was full of wine and food, was sent out by the restaurant guy with a red face. Seeing Zhang Xiang's staggering appearance, Tang Cheng immediately moved in his heart, and called the old fu beside him to explain in a low voice. Lao Fu nodded and left quickly, while Tang Cheng led people to continue to follow Zhang Xiang and followed him all the way east. Zhang Xiang has always had the habit of taking a nap, perhaps because of his excellent mood, but Zhang Xiang did not return to his residence to take a nap today.
"Captain, the target may be going to the teahouse on the next street, there is a storyteller in that teahouse, and the target went to that teahouse a few days ago." Seeing Zhang Xiang looking bored and wandering, Tang Cheng's face showed a trace of helplessness, but the two subordinates left by Lao Fu saw something different at the moment, and one of them immediately made a judgment. Sure enough, Zhang Xiang walked all the way east along the side of the street, and after crossing the street, he immediately turned into the street next door.
Tang Cheng, who had been following Zhang Xiang, stood here at the entrance of the street, and could already see the storytelling water sign standing at the door of the teahouse. "You stay here, wait for Lao Fu to bring people over, and then you take them to find me across the teahouse." Tang Cheng left one person here at the entrance of the street again, and with the rest of the team members, he immediately turned into the next street. Zhang Jianghe's request to let Zhang Xiang die like an accident, so Tang Cheng was not in a hurry to do it, anyway, the Ministry of Military Affairs had not completely gone south to Chongqing, even if Zhang Xiang wanted to sell the intelligence to the Japanese, I am afraid that there was no important information in his hands.
Zhang Xiang, who turned into the next street, really went to the teahouse to hear the news, Tang Cheng did not enter the teahouse, but went straight to a street shop opposite the teahouse. Relying on the police ID card in his hand and 20 fiat dollars, Tang Cheng temporarily requisitioned this street shop as his office. "Don't be nervous, if a guest comes to the door, you will do the same, and you will treat us as a guest." After Tang Cheng politely explained to the shopkeeper, he sat in the chair brought by the shopkeeper and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the movement of the teahouse opposite was naturally responsible for the tracking team.
Lao Fu quickly brought people here, and after driving the shopkeeper to the back of the store first, Tang Cheng began to assign tasks to Lao Fu and them. "Zhang Xiang is timid by nature, but he drank alcohol at lunchtime, so his reaction must be slower than usual. After a while, when he comes out of the teahouse, the team in charge of the street corner here, must see him clearly, and then set off firecrackers. Tang Cheng drew a simple map with a pen on the white paper on the table, and then marked a location here at the street entrance.
"Lao Fu, you personally led people to wait on the side of the street, and after hearing the firecrackers, immediately lifted the top cover of the sewer, and then on the left side of the top cover of the sewer to prevent gravel. The task of the rest of you is to disperse to the side of the road like those ordinary passers-by after the firecrackers go off, trying to force Zhang Xiang to the top of the sewer. Tang Cheng explained the task while marking the corresponding location on the white paper, so that Lao Fu and they could understand.
Using the sewer to kill Zhang Xiang, a traitor, was a reasonable and sudden way for Tang Cheng to stand at the corner of the street. Originally, Tang Cheng would not have used such a crude method, but Lao Fu brought more than 20 people, and with so many people to assist, let alone just one Zhang Xiang, even if there were two more Zhang Xiang, he would definitely be recruited. Lao Fu and the others, who understood the task, left the street shop one after another, and only Tang Cheng waited alone in the store. Time passed little by little, and Tang Cheng, who had been waiting for Zhang Xiang to come out of the teahouse, was guarding the shop.
Tang Cheng's plan actually has many loopholes and deficiencies, but Tang Cheng doesn't care at the moment, as long as Zhang Xiang's death looks like an accident. Zhang Xiang, who left the teahouse, did not realize that the danger was approaching him, and he walked back along the street, and was about to return to the office to continue his afternoon work, but when he walked to the street, he found that there was a family picking up relatives, and there were many people watching the excitement here.
Chinese people like to watch the excitement, so Zhang Xiang didn't feel anything strange, he even squeezed into the crowd with a smell of alcohol, tiptoeing to see the pomp and circumstance of receiving relatives. The tracker team members who had noticed the appearance of the target immediately sent a signal as planned, and the team members who pretended to be picking up relatives followed and lit firecrackers. I don't know what the reason is, the ignited firecrackers suddenly collapsed everywhere, and the passers-by who gathered around the street to watch the excitement scattered to avoid the firecrackers in the laughter.
Zhang Xiang, who was crowded in the crowd, tried hard to stand firm, but he didn't want to be carried to the side of the street. In the midst of the crowd, some people began to pretend to fall and cry, and the crying immediately caused a riot, coupled with the explosion of firecrackers, and the passers-by who were originally unimpressed finally panicked. Zhang Xiang, who was carried by the crowd to the side of the street, had just breathed a sigh of relief, when he suddenly felt that his feet were empty, one of his legs had been stepped on, and he stepped into the mouth of the sewer with the roof lifted.
Zhang Xiang, who was unstable under his feet, naturally fell to the side with his body crooked, coupled with the push and shoving of the passers-by around him, Zhang Xiang, who was slightly slower to react because of drunkenness, fell directly to the mouth of the sewer. There are not a few people who fell to the ground here at the entrance of the street, so Zhang Xiang's fall to the ground did not attract the attention of passers-by at first, but after waiting for the sound of firecrackers to stop, the people at the scene found that the middle-aged man who fell at the mouth of the sewer actually had a large pool of blood flowing from under his head.
"Dead! Fall to death! A woman who saw the blood suddenly pointed at Zhang Xiang who fell to the ground and screamed, the street corner that had just calmed the riot was in chaos again in an instant. Just a few minutes later, the originally crowded street corner was left with only a mess and scraps of paper left after the firecrackers, and of course, Zhang Xiang, who did not know whether he was alive or dead. Later, the police rushed over, and the police found a lot of people to ask about the experience, but they did not ask for valuable clues, and finally they could only send Zhang Xiang, who did not have much air intake, to the hospital first.
"Good! This matter is well handled! It looks like an accident, which can not only warn the people behind it, but also make them unable to grasp the handle to do things! Zhang Jianghe, who got the news, praised Tang Cheng fiercely, and in the same way, Zhang Jianghe was naturally praised by the military command headquarters. Zhang Jianghe's praise, Tang Cheng did not accept it calmly, on the contrary, because of Bai Zhanshan's presence, Tang Cheng still had to pretend that he didn't know anything.
"Uncle, what are you talking about?" In front of Bai Zhanshan, Tang Cheng pretended to be very innocent. "I'm following this Zhang Xiang for the second day, I was going to wait until after dark to do it, and I'm looking for someone to dispense medicine. Where would I have thought that this Zhang Xiang would actually fall to his death at the mouth of the sewer, wasting all the thoughts I spent in vain! Tang Cheng spread his hands and said that Zhang Xiang's death was really an accident, and it had nothing to do with his dime.
