Chapter 67: The Woman Who Climbed Over the Wall
Tang Cheng, who returned to the concession safely, did not contact Bai Zhanshan at the first time, which naturally had his own reasons and ideas. If Bai Zhanshan felt that assassinating Kenichi Yamamoto was a simple matter, Tang Cheng was worried that the intelligence department would have similar things coming to him in the future. What Tang Cheng wanted to do most was to take care of his family, and if he had extra time and energy, he would catch a few Japanese spies lurking in the Kuomintang and exchange a few money with the intelligence department to support his family.
In other words, it was okay for Tang Cheng to catch Japanese spies, but he didn't want to become a full-time assassin who specialized in assassinating opponents for the intelligence department. Zhang Jianghe had reminded Tang Cheng before, asking him to be careful of Bai Zhanshan, although Tang Cheng said that he didn't say it, but in his heart he was secretly wary of Bai Zhanshan. In this assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto, Bai Zhanshan only provided a Mauser sniper rifle and a little ammunition, if it weren't for Tang Cheng and Hans's line to help collect intelligence, maybe the assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto would not have gone so smoothly.
Tang Cheng on the rickshaw was full of thoughts at the moment, thinking of his family in Chongqing, how to deal with Bai Zhanshan, and how to deal with Zhang Jianghe's inquiry. Unconsciously, Tang Cheng only felt that he was starting to have a headache, especially Zhang Jianghe's difficult time. The driver who pulled the rickshaw rang the brass bell on the handlebar, let a few passers-by pull the rickshaw to turn around the street, and slowly stop the rickshaw on the side of the road according to Tang Cheng's instructions before getting on the bus.
Getting off the bus one street away from his residence is a habit of Tang Cheng, and while avoiding being watched by someone behind him, Tang Cheng is also to buy cooked food for Zhang Jianghe in the deli in front of him. Zhang Jianghe is missing an arm, which is a serious injury, and Zhang Jianghe has passed the age of not being confused, and his recovery function is not as good as when he was young, so the recovery of the injury is very slow. The doctor also explained that Zhang Jianghe should not eat spicy things and include big fish and meat during the period of recuperation, and sometimes seeing that Zhang Jianghe was hungry, Tang Cheng secretly prepared some cooked food for Zhang Jianghe Shaoshao to satisfy his hunger.
A pound of sauced beef, half a roast goose, and the delicatessen in the paper bag exuded an attractive taste, but Tang Cheng, who left the delicatessen, ignored the tempting and mouthwatering aroma and just walked slowly along the street. Tang Cheng was still thinking about how he could get away with Hongkou District today, and thinking about the whole process carefully, Tang Cheng, who had returned to the concession, was still a little scared in his heart, but he was thinking about it at the moment, and he couldn't think of what kind of luck he had hit.
Tang Cheng, who had something in his heart, walked more and more slowly, so that in a trance, he actually walked through the gate of the residence, and when he came back to his senses, Tang Cheng had already walked to the corner of the front yard. What a damn one! found that he had already walked through Tang City, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart. Shanghai Tang is not only a paradise, but it is also full of dangers, and it is definitely not a good habit to be in a trance like this.
Tang Cheng, who was secretly sighing in his heart, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his left foot consciously swirled, and as soon as his body turned, the whole person leaned sideways against the iron yard fence. There are street lamps in the streets, probably because they are some distance from the residence, and the courtyard looks a little dark at night. Just as Tang Cheng leaned sideways under the iron fence, a black lady's bag suddenly slipped out of the crack in the railing, and then Tang Cheng heard a wheezing sound from the other side of the fence.
Tang Cheng looked at the black lady's bag with a puzzled face, the female nurse named Susan had such a black bag, according to Tang Cheng's explanation before leaving, Susan should stay in the residence to take care of Zhou Hongjiao and Zhang Jianghe these days. Just when Tang Cheng was secretly thinking about what was going on, a pair of hands suddenly appeared at the top of the iron fence, I don't know what happened to the people on the other side of the fence, and after Tang Cheng heard another gasp, those hands suddenly disappeared from the top of the fence.
Tang Cheng, who was carrying cooked food, stood quietly outside the fence, and then looked up at a forty-five degree angle, watching the hands inside the fence appear at the top of the fence again and again, and then disappear again and again. Tang Cheng, who had roughly understood what was going on, tried to hold back a smile, and had already made up a scene in his mind where a stupid thief wanted to climb the wall but couldn't climb it. Having already guessed that there was a woman on the other side of the fence, Tang Cheng secretly thought to himself, there were only three women in the residence, and it was unlikely that the cook girl Hans helped find was unlikely, the kind of body with a round waist and broad shoulders, let alone climbing the wall, even if you walked a little faster, she could pant for breath.
It is unlikely that the nurse named Susan can recommend Hans to him, and the person who can recommend Hans to him must know the roots, maybe this Susan is Hans's person at all. The last one left was Zhou Hong, but the woman was shot twice, although the injury recovered well, but it has not recovered to the point where she can run around. Zhou Hongxiang's injury made Tang Cheng rule it out, but after a few breaths, it turned out that Tang Cheng was wrong.
The woman on the other side of the fence seemed to be a dead person, and in Tang Cheng's gaze, the other party once again tried to reach out and climb the upper end of the fence, and slowly climbed up the fence in the corner of Tang Cheng's eyes. The woman who climbed out of the fence was wearing a dark coat, and although the coat on her body looked much larger, it did not hinder the other party's climbing movements. The woman in the coat who climbed the fence did not notice that there was a person standing in the shadow outside the fence, and the woman in the coat, who had already moved one foot out of the top of the fence, seemed to be about to jump off the fence.
With the help of the faint light, Tang Cheng finally saw the appearance of the woman in the coat clearly, and Tang Cheng at this moment felt a little bitten by the geese, because this woman in the coat was Zhou Hongxiang, who was supposed to accompany Zhang Jiang and chat about chess. The injury on Zhou Hongxiang's shoulder was more serious than the upper thigh, and Tang Cheng couldn't think of how this woman with an unhealed injury could climb the fence at the moment. Hey? Tang Cheng, who was standing in the shadows, suddenly came back to his senses, why did this woman leave the gate and not leave, but she wanted to climb over the fence to come out?
Just when Tang Cheng was secretly surprised, Zhou Hong's makeup figure on the top of his head shook, "Ahh With a sound, Zhou Hong's makeup, who was about to jump down, actually hung on the top of the fence. This should be the fault of the obstructive coat, Zhou Hongxiang only looked down, but neglected that the dark coat on his body did not fit well, but when he jumped down, the coat was hung on the top of the fence.
Forcibly holding the scream in his throat, Zhou Hongxiang, who was hanging on the fence, straightened his toes hard, which could barely reach the edge of the ash platform under the fence. Then he leaned back against the fence with one hand, and with the other hand struggled behind his back, trying to untie the coat hanging from the fence. But she tried several times, but she didn't succeed, and this situation of not being able to go up and down is really embarrassing to look at. Ha...... Seeing this scene, Tang Cheng laughed silently very unkindly. Holding back a smile, he didn't show up immediately, but just stared at Zhou Hong's makeup quietly,
Tang Cheng did this, not to watch the excitement, no matter who was hung on the fence like this, I am afraid that he would not feel very comfortable, especially Zhou Hongxiang is still a girl, Tang Dynasty absolutely believes that Zhou Hongxiang should not want to be seen by others at this moment, especially by himself. Tang Cheng was silent, just let Zhou Hongmakeup toss by herself, but two minutes passed quickly, Zhou Hongmakeup was still hanging on the fence, and Tang Cheng could see that this woman seemed to be a little impatient.
In order to avoid scaring the other party, Tang Cheng immediately took a step back, and then coughed lightly. Sure enough, the sudden sound in the silent street immediately made Zhou Hongxiang, who was hanging on the fence, look over, stunned, embarrassed, and ashamed...... Tang Cheng quickly flashed countless such words in his mind, but he couldn't think of any words that could describe the expression on Zhou Hong's face at this moment.
Tang Cheng tilted his head and looked at Zhou Hongxiang silently for a while, and then suddenly scratched his head. "That's... Are you going to come down? Tang Cheng asked this sentence with sincerity, but Zhou Hongxiang just looked at Tang Cheng, but did not say anything. Tang Cheng was helpless, so he had to continue to raise his head and ask Zhou Hongxiang, "I mean... Do you want me to help? Tang Cheng's attitude was very sincere, but the smile that appeared in the corner of his eyes was seen by Zhou Hongxiang.
"No, I can do it myself!" Zhou Hongxiang replied with a tiger face, and then started a new round of struggle, but her hard struggle was useless, and the person was still hanging on the fence. Zhou Hongxiang refused his kindness, and Tang Cheng had no choice but to stand under the fence and watch honestly. Seeing that Zhou Hongxiang's face was gradually swollen red, Tang Cheng reacted, and then stepped forward and stepped on the edge of the stone with his left foot, so that Zhou Hongxiang's foot could step on his bent left knee.
There is a root under her feet, and Zhou Hongmakeup, who was hanging on the fence, seems to have eased up, but the dark coat on her body has been punctured by the tip at the top of the fence, and for a while, Zhou Hongmakeup, who is just playing with her backhand, still can't get herself off the fence. Tang Cheng, who was standing at the bottom, looked anxious, and then changed the cooked paper bag he was carrying in his right hand to his left hand, and just whispered to Zhou Hongxiang to close his eyes, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his suddenly raised right hand.
Zhou Hongxiang only felt that the body that had been tightly strangled was light, and the coat that was originally hung on the top of the fence had been cut open by the short knife in Tang Cheng's right hand. The bundle behind him suddenly disappeared, and Zhou Hongxiang, who was stepping on Tang Cheng's left knee, naturally leaned forward, and Tang Cheng's hands took advantage of the situation to stretch forward and directly carried Zhou Hongxiang on his shoulders. Zhou Hong, who was carried off the fence by Tang Cheng, immediately put on a low-eyebrow and pleasing appearance after landing on the ground, but in fact, a pair of eyes were looking for the black bag that he had stuffed out of the gap in the fence.
