Tang Cheng, who was looking for surveillance records on the way back, had no interest in the gangsters outside the small building, so after going downstairs, he just quietly left along the way he came. A few minutes later, Tang Cheng returned to the alley where he happened to meet Xu Huanshan before, leaned his back against the courtyard gate and listened for a while, before reaching out to climb the wall and climb into the courtyard. With the help of the light coming out of the window, Tang Cheng, who had fallen into the courtyard, moved lightly under the windowsill, and Xu Huanshan's voice came out of the window clearly.

"Old Tan, the organization sent me to Shanghai this time, and there is another task entrusted to me..."Tang Cheng, who was squatting outside the window, just confirmed that Xu Huanshan was in the house, and without waiting for Xu Huanshan to finish speaking, he stretched out his left hand and knocked on the window three times. Xu Huanshan and the two people in the room were shocked by the sudden knocking sound, Xu Huanshan casually pulled out the light, and saw that the thin old Tan had also taken out the pistol, and the two listened attentively, but there was no movement outside the door.

Lao Tan, who was standing sideways behind the door, slowly stretched out his left hand, suddenly opened the door, there seemed to be nothing in the courtyard, and Lao Tan, who looked puzzled, walked out of the room with a pistol, but found a small cloth bag on the windowsill. "Exposed, evacuate quickly!" There were seven big characters written on the note on the cloth bag, and Lao Tan, who didn't know what was going on, returned to the room with the cloth bag and the note, called the cloth bag, and Xu Huanshan and the two saw more than a dozen pieces of paper written in Japanese.

This is a secret stronghold of the underground party in Shanghai, and there are not only Xu Huanshan and Lao Tan here, but among those under Lao Tan, there are those who are proficient in Japanese. "It's a surveillance record!" After reading the dozen or so pieces of paper, Lao Tan's subordinates who were proficient in Japanese gave Lao Tan and Xu Huanshan an affirmative answer. Comparing the words of the man in the top hat and the middle-aged man with the beard that appeared many times in this surveillance record, Xu Huanshan and Lao Tan glanced at each other, and they already had a judgment in their hearts, this surveillance record was definitely related to them. Thinking about the note again, Xu Huanshan and the two changed color, and they should have been targeted by the Japanese.

"Although I don't know if the person who reported to us is friend or foe, but judging from these things, the other party's purpose is just to remind us!" Xu Huanshan pointed to the surveillance records on the table with his hand. "These things should come from the hands of the monitors, let's infer that someone is watching here, but the monitors are discovered by a third party. In Shanghai, those who dared to oppose the Japanese were only some Kuomintang organs. Old Tan, this is not the time to be rash, I think, let's withdraw first!"

It was very difficult for the underground party organizations in Shanghai to survive, not only in the face of the investigation of the Japanese, but also in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Central Unification. Xu Huanshan's judgment was a little ambiguous, but Lao Tan already had a vague guess in his heart, but now was not a good time to track down this, the most important thing was to immediately disperse the people here. Thanks to the news from Tangcheng, the silent stronghold of the Shanghai underground party in this alley had been safely evacuated before the concession patrol arrived.

A surveillance point set up in the concession by the special high school was terminated, and two members of the special high school who were in charge of the monitoring point were also killed in the monitoring point, and when Oshima Ueno, who rushed to hear the news, appeared in the courtyard of the small building, he learned that the surveillance records were also taken away. "Nani? Missing surveillance records and a telescope? That's kind of fun!" Looking at the two corpses that his subordinates carried out from the small building, Oshima Ueno, who was frowning, muttered to himself, and after a few breaths, Oshima Ueno suddenly reacted.

"Quick, immediately send someone to the alley over there to see if the surveillance target is still there!" More than a dozen agents of the special high school who entered the concession with Oshima Ueno quickly rushed into the alley, and after breaking down the door, they found that the surveillance target who originally lived here had long disappeared. "They should be in a hurry, there are still a lot of water stains on the well platform in the yard and here, and there are also burnt paper embers in the hearth, could it be that our surveillance operation was discovered by them?" Then Oshima Ueno, who rushed here, looked pensive, looked back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back for a while, and he had no clue at all, so he had to take people back to the small building.

Oshima Ueno's men left in the small building had already found the bullets from the two corpses in a row, and when he learned that it was the Mauser pistol bullet that killed the two men, Oshima Ueno finally understood what he was in a trance in his heart before. In the izakaya murder case, the murderer used a Mauser pistol bullet, and in the murder case of the Governor of the Concession a few days ago, the murderer also used a Mauser pistol bullet, and now, it was the Mauser pistol bullet that shot and killed the two members of the special high school team, Oshima Ueno quickly thought about it in his mind.

Could it be that it is the same group of people who did this series of cases? Thinking of the bizarre disappearance of those surveillance targets in the alley, Ueno Oshima gradually connected this series of events. "Oshima-kun, are you saying that these things are all done by the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party?" Ogasawara, the head of the intelligence section of the Special High Division, who learned the news, was a little unconvinced. "Oshima-kun, it seems that the bullets found at the scene alone do not explain the problem. You must know that there are tens of thousands of such Mauser pistols in China, and those landlords in northern Jiangsu have three or five Mauser pistols that they call box guns. ”

Ogasahara was the head of the intelligence section of the Shanghai Headquarters of the Special High School, and this monitoring point was deployed at his suggestion, and he knew the strength of the Shanghai underground party at all, and he did not believe that the Shanghai underground party would have such a secret force in its hands. "Oshima-kun, if the Shanghai underground party has such an armed force in their hands, then why did they still lose one after another in the previous encirclement and suppression operations? So, I don't agree with your inference, and maybe there is a third force involved. ”

Ogasawara didn't know that his casual words were basically close to the truth, and Oshima Ueno was angry at the moment that Ogasawara was against him, and he didn't think carefully about what Ogasawara said just now. However, someone in the special high school died, and this matter must be strictly investigated, and the gangsters who were temporarily called by the surveillance point became the target of Ogasawara and Oshima Ueno. In fact, they really didn't know anything, even if it was only a wall, and they didn't hear gunshots coming from the small building when they were cruising in the streets.

"I still judged just now, these people all said that they didn't hear any gunshots coming from the small building, which is also in line with some of the circumstances in the izakaya murder." Oshima Ueno's persistence and stubbornness made Ogasawara a little unable to step down, but at this moment, Ogasawara also began to believe in Oshima Ueno's judgment, those gangsters who were temporarily borrowed by the surveillance point were dying of torture by the torture methods of the special high school at the moment, but their answers were the same.

"If that's the case, then report it!" Ogasawara pondered again and again, and finally had to make a vague decision. Ogasawara intended to report Oshima Ueno's inference, which also had his own small plans, the Izakaya murder shocked the entire garrison high-level, as an intelligence department, the Shanghai headquarters of the special high division continued to receive orders from the garrison high-level and the local government to solve the case as soon as possible. If, according to Oshima Ueno's judgment, one of the culprits in the Izakaya murder case is the Shanghai underground party, if this judgment is recognized by the superiors, it may be possible to get the Shanghai headquarters of the special high school out of the current troubled predicament.

Tang Cheng, who had already returned to his residence safely, didn't know that his fire had burned to the head of the Shanghai underground party at this moment, and in fact, even if Tang Cheng knew about the plan of the Shanghai special high school, he would only laugh at it. On Hans's side, early the next morning, Hans asked people to buy newspapers issued by major newspapers, but they found no information about Henry. However, he is not without a little gain, and there is news from the inside line of the Concession Patrol Room that has been accepting bribes from him, and last night, two people died in an accident at a surveillance point deployed in the concession by a special high school.

"This little guy is really restless!" When he first heard the news, Hans linked the news to Tang Cheng for no reason. "Who else would it be if it wasn't him! I had long deduced that the boy had some connection with Nanjing, and now it seems that my guess was correct, and the purpose of the boy's visit to Shanghai was to the Japanese. Hans got up and rummaged through the old newspaper he had put in order, and soon found the one that had been published more than a month ago about the shootout on the streets of the concession.

"Look, that's what that kid came to Shanghai for." Hans tossed the newspaper he found to his companion sitting across the table, and deliberately tapped his finger a front-page story. "As for this report, the newspapers said that it might have been a fight between two groups of tobacco dealers, but my insider said that the actual situation was that the Japanese had ambushed an envoy from Nanking in the concession. The envoy from Nanjing was seriously injured and was sent to the Sheng'an Hospital in the concession area by the Shanghai Station of the Intelligence Department, and his whereabouts are now unknown. ”

"My people went to St. Ann's Hospital to check the news, this Nanjing envoy should be the uncle of the kid, Joseph also said that the kid is in Nanjing, and has a close relationship with the intelligence department. Do you remember that the kid bought an mp18*** from me, and in the case in Hongkou District, the murderer also used mp18***, I believe this is definitely not a coincidence. It's just that I still don't know how that kid did it, Hongkou District is a place under the strict control of the Japanese army. ”

Hans's companion did not make a sound to interrupt Hans's judgment, if it was just based on the newspaper reports and Hans's inferences just now, the Tang Cheng, who was described by Hans as a skilled man, was definitely the murderer of the izakaya murder. It's just that there is another unexplained place in this, that is, Tang Cheng's age, according to the news sent back by Joseph from Nanjing, this Tang Cheng has just turned eighteen years old this year.

Baumann, who had just arrived in Shanghai from the German mainland, would never have believed that a young man who was just 18 years old would have the courage to infiltrate the Hongkou district, which was tightly controlled by the Japanese army, and that he was capable of eliminating more than 50 lives in an izakaya. However, Hans's inference also made Bowman have some interest in Tang Cheng, and when he learned that Tang Cheng might come to Hans's restaurant today, Bowman also waited in the restaurant early, looking forward to meeting Tang Cheng.
