Chapter 5 Eavesdropping

"Captain, it's the one in front, this shop was originally an incense and candle shop. I heard that it was because the business could not continue, so I planned to sell the shop, although the shop was old, but the asking price was not high. "The person who brought Tangcheng to this street is called Wang Dahai, who is a native of the north of the city. Wang Dahai was originally a muddy water robe brother in the north of the city, but during the first round of crackdowns, he was sent to a labor reform farm outside the city for labor reform, and now he is a new member of the search team.

Wang Dahai's family is in the north of the city, and he is very familiar with the situation in this area, so Tang Cheng specially asked him to take him into the north of the city to find a suitable place for intelligence collection. The original investigation team was in various parts of the city, using shops or rented houses, relying on the family and relatives of the veteran policemen to collect intelligence and clues from the streets. Tang Cheng returned to Chongqing, and those shops that had been idle were reopened, and Tang Cheng came to the north of the city this time to check and fill in the gaps, and to prepare to add a few intelligence points in the north of the city.

Compared with other areas in the city, the north of the city is densely populated, and many of them are migrants. The floating population is not easy to monitor, and if there are Japanese spies infiltrating Chongqing, it is likely that they will choose to hide in this area. The area of this shop introduced by Wang Dahai is indeed not large, but this incense and candle shop also has a backyard, and with this backyard, this shop can do a lot of things.

Tang Cheng came to the north of the city today, and he looked very ordinary in his dress, before coming here, Tang Cheng told Wang Dahai to behave like a businessman, so this time, Wang Dahai was bargaining with the shopkeeper. Tang Cheng didn't participate, just looked left and right in the backyard of the store alone with his hands behind his back, and the faint sound of conversation from the adjacent yard on the left suddenly aroused Tang Cheng's interest.

Tang Cheng is now not only far more powerful than ordinary people, but even his hearing is much more than ordinary people, standing under the left wall of the courtyard, Tang Cheng can hear the sound of speech in the courtyard next door. There were three people talking in the courtyard next door, and the shrill voice of one was supposed to be a young woman, and the other two were men. The content of the conversation in the courtyard next door made Tang Cheng more and more interested, and then he put his right index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture to Wang Dahai, who was looking at him.

Wang Dahai didn't know why Tang Cheng was standing under the wall on the left, and when he saw Tang Cheng's gesture, Wang Dahai, who knew in his heart, had no choice but to pull the shopkeeper and turn around and go to the shop in front. Most of the tobacco business in Chongqing is related to Pao Ge Tangkou, and the Liu Xiang family, known as the king of Sichuan, has been running the tobacco business for many years.

The three people who were talking in the courtyard next door were talking about the smoke and soil, and the woman who was talking at the moment had an obvious Yunnan accent, and the remaining two men had a Chongqing accent. Among the tobacco dealers Tang Cheng has seen, there has never been a woman trafficking in tobacco, and the woman who is talking next door is obviously not very old, but her tone of voice is steady against the other two men.

A young female tobacco dealer, who is not a native of Chongqing, has always taken the initiative in and out of words, which is what Tang Cheng is interested in. The three people, a woman and two men in the courtyard next door, did not realize that their conversation was being overheard. The content of the conversation between the three involved a batch of tobacco from Yunnan, and although Tang Cheng did not hear the quantity of this batch of tobacco, he heard the time and place of the two sides handing over the tobacco.

As soon as the war started, prices skyrocketed, and the price of tobacco soil also rose, leaning sideways against Tang Cheng, who was standing under the wall, secretly thinking in his heart, whether to find Zhang Jianghe and join forces to eat this batch of tobacco soil. If you want to confiscate the tobacco in Chongqing, you can't rely on Tang Cheng alone, in case this batch of tobacco involves the Liu family or the powerful Pao Getangkou, Tang Cheng will definitely cause trouble, but if Zhang Jianghe is pulled, it will be different.

The conversation in the courtyard next door ended quickly, and when there was no sound on the other side of the wall, Tang Cheng, who had been standing under the wall, left the courtyard and returned to the shop in front. Wang Dahai may not be able to do serious things, but the ability to bargain is okay, Tang Cheng eavesdropped on the conversation next door in the backyard, Wang Dahai has already negotiated the price with the shopkeeper, and the price is much lower than originally said.

"This store is wanted, the rest of the things will be left to you, if you want to use the money, go back to Lao Liao, and I will explain to him." Tang Cheng just needs this shop to house the person in charge of finding out the news, as long as the location is suitable, Tang Cheng doesn't care about the rest. After explaining to Wang Dahai, Tang Cheng left the north of the city and went straight to Chongqing Station to find Zhang Jianghe to discuss the interception of Yantu.

"Uncle Zhang, I happened to hear this, although I don't know the amount of this batch of tobacco soil, but I listened to the content of those people's words, I am afraid that this batch of tobacco soil will not be less." In Zhang Jianghe's office, Tang Cheng did not waste time, but chose to go straight to the point. Although there is a subsidy from the income share of the labor reform farm outside the city, with the continuous increase in the number of personnel at the Chongqing station, Zhang Jianghe still feels that the funds allocated from above are stretched.

At this moment, I heard Tang Cheng say that there was a batch of tobacco from Yunnan to be delivered in Chongqing, Zhang Jianghe really came to the spirit, but Tang Cheng was worried, and Zhang Jianghe was also worried. Seeing Zhang Jianghe's hesitation, Tang Cheng continued, "I'm also worried that this matter will involve the Liu family or the powerful robe brothers in the city, but if I want to watch such a big piece of fat slip away from under my nose, I feel a little pity in my heart. ”

In front of Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng did not hide his thoughts at all, and Zhang Jianghe did not reprimand Tang Cheng with words. "You have to think carefully about this matter!" Zhang Jianghe, who reacted, neither opposed nor agreed, but just asked Tang Cheng to be careful. Tang Cheng, who was slightly disappointed in his heart, did not show the disappointment in his heart on his face, because he knew that Zhang Jianghe was not timid and afraid of things, but because of some things, it was difficult for him, the stationmaster of Chongqing Station, to come forward directly.

"Uncle Zhang, you can rest assured, those people will deliver the goods in three days, I will arrange someone to inquire about the news first, and when the time comes, I will personally bring someone over." After not being in Chongqing for a while, Tang Cheng, who returned to Chongqing, suddenly found that there were many ruthless characters in Chongqing. Therefore, Tang Cheng's idea of fighting that batch of tobacco soil was not only for the sake of tobacco soil, but also to tell these ruthless characters in the city that Tang Laohu was back.

Zhang Jianghe has no doubt about Tang Cheng's ability, a bastard boy who can toss the special high-tech in Shanghai alone, if he can't deal with a few small characters who smuggle tobacco, then there is really a problem! Tang Cheng came to Zhang Jianhe, not only to seek Zhang Jianghe's support, but also to borrow manpower and weapons and equipment from Zhang Jianghe, and it is best to borrow vehicles.

"You kid better forget it! If you just borrow a few people and a few guns, these are all okay to say. But the car can't be lent to you, there are only those cars in Chongqing, and the license plates of all the cars I have here have long been firmly remembered by those who have a heart. Believe it or not, as long as someone sees these cars appearing at the scene, someone will immediately know that this matter is related to me.

The car could not be borrowed, which meant that even if Tang Cheng could successfully intercept the batch of tobacco, there was no way to quickly evacuate the scene with the tobacco. However, Zhang Jianghe's refusal did not make Tang Cheng change his mind, as the old saying goes, even if the fat meat can't be eaten in the mouth, it must be sticky to both hands. As long as the batch of tobacco soil is detained, Tang Cheng will have a way to get benefits from it, and at most it is a matter of how much benefit. Tang Cheng's expression had already given Zhang Jianghe an answer, but he didn't say anything to stop Tang Cheng.

"The woman who had a private meeting with Zhou Wen, how did she check? This Zhou Wen was transferred to Chongqing Station by the previous stationmaster, and I heard that he has a little background at the headquarters. Zhang Jianghe finally turned the topic back to the right path, if there is really a problem with this Zhou Wen, as the stationmaster, he must respond immediately, and he will only wait for the reprimand from the headquarters. Zhang Jianghe was not familiar with this deputy section chief named Zhou Wen, and after asking his cronies, he knew that Zhou Wen was the original old man of Chongqing Station.

Zhang Jianghe said that Zhou Wen had a background in the headquarters of the Intelligence Department, and his original intention was just to remind Tang Cheng to be cautious about this matter, but he forgot that Tang Cheng was a man who ate soft and did not eat hard. Before his voice fell, Tang Cheng rolled his eyes and sneered, "It's best to have a background, just let the people at the headquarters see your old methods, so that they know that you are not idle in Chongqing, and you are also doing things." ”

Tang Cheng's words were not a mindless tantrum, he was not in Chongqing during this time, not only his investigation team was in a state of stagnation and separation, but even Zhang Jianghe was criticized for not doing anything. Tang Cheng really treats Zhang Jianghe as his elder uncle, not to mention that Zhang Jianghe has another identity, when he gets the news, how can he tolerate someone saying that Zhang Jianghe is an idle eater.

"You're a dog!" Protected by his juniors, Zhang Jianghe only felt warm in his heart, but he had to teach Tang Cheng a lesson, after all, there are some things that must not be said nonsense. "Your uncle and I are so big, I haven't seen any scenes! What's wrong with being ridiculed? There is no going to drop a piece of meat down! Besides, people are right, I am indeed missing an arm, missing an arm, not a cripple or something! Zhang Jianghe had a smile on his face, but his words revealed unwillingness and anger, and it was obvious that he also hated those who said strange things behind his back.
