Chapter 53: Old Acquaintances
"What do you mean by that?" After receiving the photo handed by Tang Cheng, Cao Wanchun looked at it for a while, but he didn't see any problems, so he had to look up at Tang Cheng, hoping that Tang Cheng could give an explanation.
"That is to say, if this Yanagawa Yong was not born in a wealthy family and is used to showing people like this, then I am sure that his appearance is deliberate, and it is an illusion that is deliberately shown to outsiders." Tang Cheng's words still made Cao Wanchun completely confused, Tang Cheng rolled his eyes helplessly, and could only continue to speak. "Liu Chuan Yong wants people to think that he is a gentleman, especially us, just imagine, how can a gentleman endure hardship!"
Tang Cheng's words made Cao Wanchun even more puzzled, he didn't understand how the target's clothing and whether he could endure hardships were related to this search mission. Glancing at Cao Wanchun angrily, Tang Cheng, who was helpless about his IQ, had to continue to speak, "If this is a deliberate disguise by the target, then I dare to conclude that after the target sneaks into Nanjing, he will definitely not hide in a place like an apartment hotel, let alone rent a house in a prosperous area, it is very likely that the target is lurking in the slums at this moment, especially the kind of bungalow courtyard with alleys running through it." ”
Tang Cheng's judgment sounded useless, but when he thought about it carefully, Tang Cheng's judgment had actually divided the location where the target might be hiding. Tang Cheng had already made a judgment, although he still felt a little unreliable in his heart, but Cao Wanchun did not say anything against it, because he clearly remembered that Tang Cheng was the person in charge of this search and arrest mission. However, Cao Wanchun still quietly called when Tang Cheng was looking through the summary of the situation, and informed Tang Cheng of the analysis just now to the director who had returned to the intelligence department.
The director on the other end of the phone did not react immediately, but asked Cao Wanchun what he thought of Tang Cheng's analysis and judgment. "Seat, I admit that this stinky boy's analysis has some truth, but not all the slums in the city are concentrated in one place. If he searched all the slums according to his judgment, it would be to pull everyone in our intelligence department up, and there might not be enough manpower, and in terms of time, there would be no deadline at all. ”
Cao Wanchun's words are not secretly complaining, but directly pointing out the key to the problem, one is manpower and the other is time. The director on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Since this matter has been handed over to that kid to deal with, what to do is all according to his wishes." Whether that kid has the ability or not, I won't say, you should know too. You don't have to worry about manpower, I guess he must have a way. ”
The director on the other end of the phone would make such a decision, not because he would blindly believe Tang Cheng, but because before this matter was handed over to Tang Cheng, the Intelligence Department had already dispatched personnel to conduct a search, but the result was nothing. I don't know if it was the Central Unification side that made it bad, but the chairman actually knew about the matter, and after a thunderous rage, the director who was scolded for being bloody had to make a guarantee to solve the matter in half a month. Tang Cheng's ability to search for Japanese spies is not the best in the intelligence department, and it can be regarded as the number one, and the director handed over this matter to Tang Cheng for disposal, there is another layer of consideration.
Tang Cheng didn't know that Cao Wanchun had truthfully reported his every move to the director, and at this moment he was looking through the situation that Cao Wanchun and they had summarized, especially the one at the Xiaguan Wharf. Although Tang Cheng did not have any hope for the ability of these plainclothes secret agents to identify, he still carefully looked through the summary of these situations with hope.
In the summary of the preliminary screening of Cao Wanchun and others, Tang Cheng did not find any available clues, and after a brief dinner, Tang Cheng went out alone and did not tell Cao Wanchun where he was going. Leaving the well-concealed courtyard, Tang Cheng immediately entered an alley on the side of the street, and after more than a dozen breaths, Tang Cheng, who was hidden in the alley, saw Cao Wanchun and one of his subordinates hurriedly walking all the way south along the street.
The chief left Cao Wanchun by his side, Tang Cheng knew that this was to watch himself, but some of his methods must not be known by outsiders, so Tang Cheng had to shake off the tail that followed him. Escaping Cao Wanchun's follow, Tang Cheng, who appeared on another street down the alley, called a rickshaw and went straight to Joseph's leather goods store. Joseph here, Tang Cheng has been here many times before, but no one is there, and this time, Tang Cheng, who got off the rickshaw, blocked Joseph, who was about to go out.
"Don, my good friend, long time no see!" was blocked at the door by Tang Cheng, instead of the slightest guilt on Joseph's face, he was very enthusiastic about giving Tang Cheng a bear hug first. Joseph's performance in this way not only did not make Tang Cheng feel relieved, but made Tang Cheng feel that Joseph was deliberately covering up something. However, Tang Cheng concealed it well, and the exploration in his eyes was fleeting, and it did not let Joseph notice it.
"Don, I'm sorry, I'm going out now, my shipment has just landed from Shimonoseki Wharf, and I'll probably spend the whole night in the dock's warehouse tonight sorting out those goods." After a few words of greeting between the two, Joseph immediately prepared to leave with a sad face, Tang Cheng just said that he happened to pass by here and came to have a look, and when Joseph got on the rickshaw on the street and left, Tang Cheng suddenly stopped a young man who happened to pass by.
"One hundred, sell me this bike!" The young man who was ripped off the bicycle by Tang Cheng was about to shout, but saw Tang Cheng take out a few bills from his pocket and hand them over. A brand-new bicycle is only 120 yuan, and his bicycle is only 50% new, and it can be sold for 100 yuan, which is already considered a big luck. The young man was afraid that Tang Cheng would regret it, so he took the money and turned to leave, and Tang Cheng rode his bicycle to follow the rickshaw that Joseph was riding.
Just know you have a problem! Tang Cheng followed Joseph's rickshaw far away, and after crossing two street intersections in a row, he found that the rickshaw was not going in the direction of Rujiangmen, and Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel proud. Joseph didn't know that Tang Cheng was secretly tracking him, and he didn't know that Tang Cheng had locked himself with his system skills, as long as the straight-line distance between him and Tang Cheng was no more than a hundred meters, even if he entered the building, he would not be able to escape Tang Cheng's tracking.
Tang Cheng followed very carefully, with the help of systematic skills, he just followed Joseph from afar, and after about half an hour, Tang Cheng found that he had actually followed Nancheng all the way. When Tang Cheng was a policeman, he joined the Nancheng Police Station, and his multi-month career as a street patrol made Tang Cheng very familiar with the situation in Nancheng. Watching Joseph walk into a shoe store on the side of the street, Tang Cheng immediately deflected the handlebars and rode his bicycle into the alley next to him.
Tang Cheng, who climbed the street wall and moved forward along the ridge of the roof, soon appeared on the roof of the shoe store. Like the next few shops, the shoe store is a two-story building with a small backyard. Tang Cheng fixed a pencil-thick hemp rope on the roof, and then activated his light body skills to slide down the thin hemp rope from the roof to the backyard of the shoe store, and his feet had just hit the ground, Tang Cheng suddenly heard a familiar voice. Tang Cheng froze slightly, then shook his hand and ripped the fine hemp rope off the roof, then turned around and quietly looked at the door between the backyard and the shoe store building.
"Don? Why are you here? The man who came out of the door looked stunned, and Joseph, who followed him, had a hellish expression. Walking in front of Joseph and coming out of that door, it was naturally an old acquaintance of Tang Cheng, Hans who met him in Shanghai. At this moment, Hans suddenly saw Tang Cheng appear in front of him, and Hans's first reaction was to turn around and look at Joseph with a shocked face, he mistakenly thought that Joseph had told Tang Cheng the news that he was here.
"Hans, don't look at him, he didn't tell me about you here!" Tang Cheng just glared at Joseph fiercely, but he didn't take the opportunity to fall into the ground. Hans's appearance here was something that Tang Cheng never expected in advance, Tang Cheng's main purpose in looking for Joseph was to use Joseph's intelligence channels to search for Yanagawa Yong, Hans's sudden appearance made Tang Cheng's eyes light up, and it seemed that Hans was the real intelligence officer.
Tang Cheng didn't explain why he was here, and after he repeatedly said that no one else knew he was here, Hans, who looked reluctant, invited Tang Cheng into the hut on the left side of the backyard. "Hans, it seems that you don't treat me as a friend, why didn't you inform me when you came to Nanjing?" didn't give Hans a chance to ask at all, Tang Cheng made the first move, and preemptively labeled Hans as not a friend enough.
Tang Cheng's first strike was to catch Hans off guard, and he and Joseph looked at each other silently, and Hans finally smiled. "Tang, I have something important to do in Nanjing this time, and I'm not sure if I can contact you, after all, the intelligence department will not allow me to enter and leave as a foreigner casually." Hans's explanation was a little dry, causing Tang Cheng to roll his eyes, but the atmosphere in the hut eased slightly.
"Don, how did you know we were here?" Joseph, who was sitting on the sidelines, finally came to his senses and re-energized the topic back to the previous question. "I see, did you follow me all the way from the leather goods store? But I didn't notice anyone stalking me! Joseph was clearly not a qualified intelligence officer, and his reaction was a beat slower than the average person, leaving Hans speechless.
