Chapter 107: Something Went Wrong
Dong Bi disappeared inexplicably, and the batch of tobacco purchased with the Yunnan people was naturally gone, and the most anxious people in Chongqing were those of the 16th Division. In the end, it was a local, and after asking around, the people of the 16th Division finally learned from a robe boss that Dong Bi was imprisoned in the Chongqing Intelligence Department. "How do I know why the Intelligence Department is arresting Dong Bi? However, a month ago, the Intelligence Department and the City Bureau confiscated two smoke houses in the city. ”
It was very measured to talk to the robe brother who reported the news from the 16th Division, but between the words, he also sold Chongqing Station cleanly. What kind of unit is the intelligence department, although the 16th Division is a native unit in Sichuan, but I have also heard of the name of the intelligence department. It was impossible to rashly come to the door to get VIPs, so they found Wang Bingzhang, the director of the city bureau. "Brother Wang, this matter is really going to trouble you, can you fish out Dong Bi, it doesn't matter, we just want to know the whereabouts of that batch of tobacco soil."
The people of the 16th Division said tactfully, Wang Bingzhang didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he couldn't ignore the gold bars on the table, so he called Tang Cheng. "Wang Ju, I told you a long time ago that sooner or later you will be ruined by greed for money." Tang Cheng was on the phone, just listening to Wang Bingzhang say the beginning, he already understood the intention of the other party's call. "Don't blame me for not reminding you, this matter is very troublesome and may implicate a lot of people."
It is impossible for Tang Cheng to talk to Wang Bingzhang about Dong Bi's affairs on the phone, and Wang Bingzhang is only the director of the city bureau, and his authority does not include targeting Japanese spies. The deep meaning in Tang Cheng's words, Wang Bingzhang was not unaware, but when he called, the people of the 16th Division were by his side, and since he had already received the money from others, Wang Bingzhang had to continue to ask at the moment. Wang Bingzhang's hesitation made Tang Cheng vigilant, and he immediately asked Wang Bingzhang directly.
"Wang Ju, could it be that there are other people around you? If it's someone who asks you for help, then you just tell him that this will make a lot of people unlucky. If he doesn't believe it, I can give him an address, and if he has the guts, he might as well go and see Dong Bi himself. "Tang Cheng still has a place where Wang Bingzhang can be used, so no matter what, he can't watch Wang Bingzhang jump into the quagmire, if Wang Bingzhang can't even seize this opportunity, then Tang Cheng really plans to ignore him.
Tang Cheng's warning again made Wang Bingzhang's heart skip a beat, and from Tang Cheng's voice, he could hear the smell of warning. "Look, I'll just say it, I can't reach out to this matter at all." Wang Bingzhang immediately reached out to cover the receiver of the phone, and then turned to look at the lobbyist standing at the desk. "They said that as long as you have the guts, he can provide you with an address so that you can meet Dong Bi."
The people of the 16th Division didn't know who Wang Bingzhang was calling when he made this call, but looking at Wang Bingzhang's expression at the moment, it didn't look like he was joking. "Brother Wang, you tell me the truth, who is this person talking to you on the phone?" The deputy commander of the 16th Division stared at Wang Bingzhang without blinking, trying to see something unusual from Wang Bingzhang's expression. But it's a pity that Wang Bingzhang's expression is not different from just now, but when he asked Wang Bingzhang who was on the other end of the phone, Wang Bingzhang's eyes finally changed a little.
Wang Bingzhang did not hang up the phone, but continued to cover the receiver of the phone with his palm, "I am a little brother on the other end of the phone, and the stationmaster Zhang of Chongqing Station is his uncle, Dong Bi's matter, he said okay, he said no, he just can't." Wang Bingzhang didn't tell Tang Cheng's identity, and he only said that Tang Cheng was his little brother, but the deputy commander of the 16th Division obviously didn't believe it very much.
"Brother Wang, I still mean just now, Dong Bi can get it out of the best, if you can't get it, forget it. However, the whereabouts of the batch of tobacco handled by Dong Bi must be found, and the next home of that batch of tobacco has already been found, and our division is still waiting to use this batch of tobacco to exchange for weapons and equipment from Shanghai! The deputy commander of the 16th Division thought that Wang Bingzhang did not know the inside story, so he directly used the name of the 16th Division and characterized the act of smuggling tobacco and soil as the purchase of arms.
Wang Bingzhang is also a good person, with Tang Cheng's two warnings and the change in the tone of the deputy head of the regiment, Wang Bingzhang has roughly guessed some inside stories. Hearing that the other party had moved out of the name of the 16th Division, Wang Bingzhang simply grinned, then let go of his left hand covering the telephone receiver, and chuckled at Tang Cheng on the other end of the phone. "Brother Tang, thank you, since the water is very deep, I won't participate this time, brother." Wang Bingzhang deliberately expressed his attitude to Tang Cheng on the phone in front of the deputy head of the regiment.
With the contact with Wang Bingzhang, the people of the 16th Division finally shifted their attention to Chongqing Station, although they knew that Tang Cheng, who had contact with Wang Bingzhang, could help them connect with Chongqing Station, but they couldn't find where Tang Cheng was for a while. Tang Cheng is actually in the city, and because Dong Bi has been transferred to Chongqing Station, the focus of the investigation team has been shifted from Dong Bi to another surveillance target.
This new surveillance target is called Song Guitian, and after this person was investigated and queued as the subject of surveillance, Yang Cheng, who went to other places, has confirmed that all the identification documents provided by this person are forged. According to the identity certificate provided by this person's stay in the hotel, there is indeed a person named Song Guitian, but Yang Cheng, who traces back to his hometown, found that this Song Guitian had been a soldier a few years ago, and he had changed his name in the army. In other words, the real Song Guitian will never appear in Chongqing City, because the main master is still serving as a soldier in the 88th Division.
A person who used a fake identity spent most of his time wandering around the black market in the past few days after entering Chongqing, and as long as a person with a brain knew about it, he would immediately decide that there was something wrong with this Song Guitian. Tang Cheng was very careful about this matter, because he was worried that this fake Song Guitian would be a member of the underground party, because Song Guitian's hometown not only had many people become members of the national army, but also many people went to Yan'an.
Tang Cheng is not an underground party, and he doesn't want to implicate his family because of the underground party, so he chooses to monitor the other party for a long time, and then look for opportunities to have close contact with the other party. After several days of covert surveillance, the investigation team did not find any other abnormalities about Song Guitian, and this person only asked whether he bought it in the black market, and did not reveal any flaws that could be used. "Captain, this can't be done, it's too expensive to keep monitoring like this!"
The first person to stabilize his position was Lao Fu, after all, this kind of long-term surveillance is too energy-consuming. "It's better to arrest it first, anyway, just arrest us and interrogate it slowly, even if you can't ask anything, it's a big deal to release people." Some of the veteran policemen supported Lao Fu's suggestion, and when they were police officers before, they didn't do this kind of thing to arrest people first without evidence.
With the smooth implementation of several actions of the investigation team, these veteran policemen have already been full of confidence, coupled with the relationship between Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe's uncle and nephew, the veteran policemen who think that they have the support of Chongqing Station have a great desire to walk sideways in Chongqing City. Tang Cheng's worries couldn't be told to others, and he couldn't ignore the active efforts of the old policemen, and only after pretending to groan did Tang Cheng give his own decision.
"Let's wait a little longer, the matter of that batch of smoke and soil has already made some people unable to sit still, if we make something happen at this time, maybe someone will jump out immediately and burn the fire on us. First of all, I will find an opportunity to get up close and personal with the target, and I will know the smell of Japanese people as soon as I smell it. Tang Cheng's words, the first half is quite reasonable, but in the second half, it sounds a little confusing. Fortunately, these veteran policemen have long been accustomed to following Tang Cheng's orders, but no one raised any objections.
Tang Cheng has already made a decision, and the next thing is how to make Tang Cheng get close to the target. Song Guitian used a fake identity, but apart from this, there seemed to be no other flaws in this person. But Tang Cheng's veteran policemen are all locals of Chongqing, and they are all old fritters who have been mixed in the streets, just finding an opportunity to get close to each other, which doesn't seem to be very difficult.
The opportunity that Tang Cheng wanted came quickly, and the next afternoon, the team that followed the target sent back the news that Song Guitian had gone to a teahouse to drink tea, and this teahouse happened to be the property of the investigation team. Tang Cheng, dressed as a man, soon appeared in the teahouse, but he was not in charge of pouring tea for the guests, but a handyman in charge of cleaning. Song Guitian sat alone in the corner of the teahouse, and the closest table of guests to him was also outside the two tables, and he could see the position of the other party clearly, and Tang Cheng, who was dressed as a man, slowly leaned over with a broom and dustpan.
"You melon baby, sweep the floor faster, and there will be no place to put your feet when the guests come." Someone suddenly pushed him from behind, and Tang Cheng, who was sweeping the floor with his head down, stumbled forward. Lao Fu, with a stern expression, looked like the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and this push behind his back just pushed Tang Cheng, who was pretending to be a partner, to Song Guitian's table. Tang Cheng's original idea was to use this push to fall directly at Song Guitian's feet, no matter whether the other party reacted or not, he had a chance to touch the other party's body.
But just as Tang Cheng staggered forward, Song Guitian, who was sitting at the table, suddenly made a move of dragging the chair backwards to dodge, and then Tang Cheng, who was flustered, fell firmly on the side of Song Guitian's table. Lao Fu, who pretended to be the shopkeeper of the teahouse, directly turned his face and closed his eyes, and couldn't bear to witness Tang Cheng's tragic situation at the moment, but he couldn't help praying in his heart that Tang Cheng would not find his own trouble afterwards. Tang Cheng, who fell innocently to the ground, at this time, felt more and more that there was something wrong with this Song Guitian.
