The generous conditions offered by Tangcheng greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the veteran policemen in the investigation team. With Lao Xie's brother-in-law as an example, many of these veteran policemen also brought their relatives to join the operation. In just two short years, In just one day, two more surveillance targets were added to Tangcheng. Most of Zhang Jianghe's energy is still focused on Changdao Jianyi, and the two newly discovered targets can only be temporarily operated by Tang Cheng himself.
The investigation team was just a tool used by Tang Cheng to find a needle in a haystack. He did not expect that in just a few days, the investigation team that originally had only a dozen people would suddenly expand to more than 40 people. However, after the investigation team expanded, it brought unexpected benefits to Tangcheng. The non-staff members brought into the investigation team by the veteran police officers were no weaker than the field spies from the Military Intelligence Department in collecting gossip on the street.
In a room facing the street, Tang Cheng was standing in front of the window with a telescope, looking out through the gaps in the curtains. In front of another window, there was also an old policeman standing. Behind the old policeman, there was a young man with a pen and paper in his hand, who was rapidly recording every word that the old policeman said. The requirement to make surveillance records is a new requirement of Tangcheng. However, his request is only for those fixed surveillance points. People who are temporarily followed do not need to do this.
"Captain, they're out." The old policeman holding the telescope suddenly emphasized his tone. Tang Cheng then moved the telescope slightly and shifted his gaze from the hawker on the street to the door of the shoe store across the street. A middle-aged man wearing a plaid suit and a pair of glasses appeared in Tang Cheng's sight. This man was the third suspicious target discovered by the investigation team in the near future.
The plaid suit came out of the shoe store. Like many customers coming out of the shoe store, Youzi lowered his head to admire the new leather shoes on his feet, and then merged into the crowd and walked eastward along the street. "Send someone to follow us. The first, second, and third teams will follow each other in turns. We would rather lose the target than be discovered by the other party." Tangcheng immediately made arrangements, and among the plainclothes old policemen standing behind him, some of them quickly walked Go downstairs.
The tracking experts sent by Zhang Jianghe provided short-term training to the veteran policemen of the investigation team. However, Tangcheng did not intend to use the veteran policemen to track suspicious targets, because the veteran policemen have been in the police for many years, and they have no matter whether they are sitting, lying or walking. It will have professional characteristics and will be easily discovered by tracking targets. Therefore, Tangcheng still used those street teenagers and non-staff personnel as the main force for tracking, and the veteran police officers only played a supporting role. Now it seems that Tangcheng's arrangement is quite appropriate.
"Keep staring at the shoe store opposite. Old Zhou, you are familiar with this area and try to find out more about that shoe store." Tang Cheng already had an idea in his mind, but before implementing it, he still needed to confirm it. Some things still need to be informed to Zhang Jiang and Xia first. The target had left the shoe store, and Tang Cheng also left with him. However, he did not participate in the subsequent tracking, but went directly to the teahouse where Zhang Jianghe often met.
"Uncle Zhang, I wonder if your director's strategy has changed? I now have two more tracking targets. Half an hour ago, we just confirmed a location that had deep contact with one of the tracking targets. ." Without looking at Zhang Jianghe's expression at this moment, Tang Cheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip of herbal tea, then lowered his voice and told Zhang Jianghe the truth. "It's a shoe store. We have been staring at this shoe store for more than two days and found something wrong in the backyard of the shoe store."
Tang Cheng asked Zhang Jianghe to meet because he wanted to know whether the Military Intelligence Office had changed its work direction. If Zhang Jianghe said that they would take a long-term approach to catch big fish, Tang Cheng would package the shoe store and the tracking target and hand them over to Zhang Jianghe. . If the Military Intelligence Office was still the same as before, only focusing on quantity rather than quality, Tang Cheng planned to encourage Zhang Jianghe to immediately arrest the Japanese spies lurking in the shoe store. After all, he had personally confirmed that.
"How much do you want this time? You're a guy who can't afford to be too early. If you're so kind to tell me this, I'm afraid you have other requests?" Seeing that Tang Cheng had finished the herbal tea in the cup, Zhang Jiang and Smiling, he picked up the teapot and personally served Tang Cheng a cup of tea, not forgetting to tease Tang Cheng.
"Uncle Zhang, it's meaningless for you to say this! The reason why I found clues so quickly is because of the increase in manpower. These extra people are considered peripheral personnel. The police station does not pay, so I have to do it separately. It's not the way to go. Don't always let the horse work without giving it a full belly!" Tang Cheng smiled at Zhang Jianghe and held out three fingers, "300 yuan, the shoe store and all the tracking targets we confirmed are you. Yes, after this is done, I will just get some pairs of leather shoes from that shoe store."
Tang Cheng deliberately showed his money-grubbing side in front of Zhang Jianghe, but the more he acted like this, the more Zhang Jianghe felt reassured about Tang Cheng. Such a person with many minor problems would never become a military officer. Objects that the intelligence service needs to focus on. Zhang Jianghe did not bargain for the 300 yuan that Tang Cheng asked for. In fact, if the Military Intelligence Office confiscated the shoe store, the profit from it might be far more than 300 yuan.
Tangcheng had just negotiated terms with Zhang Jianghe. An old policeman who was originally guarding downstairs quickly came upstairs accompanied by Zhang Jiang and his cronies. After the old policeman whispered a few words into Tangcheng's ear, The smile on Tang Cheng's face immediately became a little weird. "Uncle Zhang, I'm afraid I need to change what I just said. I'm going to increase the stakes now. Without 500 yuan, you can't expect to get any information from me. And I'm telling you, you might do this too. If you can’t help it, you’d better go back and ask your director for instructions!”
Tang Cheng's sudden change of attitude made Zhang Jianghe full of suspicion, but he knew that Tang Cheng would never be innocent. It must have something to do with the old policeman who suddenly came upstairs. To be precise, it should be the whisper just now. relation. Zhang Jianghe guessed well. The situation had really changed. The old policeman who came upstairs brought the latest tracking results. The plaid suit that was secretly tracked actually went all the way to the Ministry of National Defense building.
Tangcheng had taken advantage of a clever opportunity to have physical contact with the plaid suit a day ago, and then confirmed that the plaid suit was a Japanese spy lurking in Nanjing. This shoe store was also discovered through the plaid suit, but Tang Cheng never expected that this plaid suit lurking in a newspaper office had just come into contact with a major officer from the Ministry of Defense just a quarter of an hour ago.
Plaid Suit is just a page editor in the newspaper, so there is no job for reporters to go out for interviews. Moreover, even if a newspaper reporter wants to interview a staff member of the Ministry of National Defense, he probably can't just talk to a major officer in private. touch. "Uncle Zhang, my people have just discovered that the target we are secretly tracking has had contact with a major officer who serves in the Ministry of National Defense, and it is 100% confirmed that the major officer handed over something to the target. . I think you need to go back and meet with your director immediately. This matter may involve the Ministry of National Defense."
Zhang Jianghe was also stunned by the news broke by Tang Cheng at this moment. After being stunned for a while, he hurriedly got up. However, before he left, he took out a roll of banknotes and threw it to Tang Cheng, and asked Tang Cheng if he was in If you don't get a reply within an hour, you can take control of the plaid suit first. Zhang Jianghe left in a hurry, and there was not much joy on Tang Cheng's face. If this matter really involved the Ministry of National Defense, he might face a lot of trouble if he got involved.
Zhang Jianghe quickly returned to the Military Intelligence Department and immediately informed the director of the department about the information Tang Cheng had told him. His reaction was almost exactly the same as Zhang Jianghe's at that time. The director who was originally as calm as a needle in the sea also appeared briefly sluggish. The Ministry of National Defense, it was actually the Ministry of National Defense that had a problem. This was something he never expected. Japan's espionage organizations are all-pervasive. This is a fact that has been faced since the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department. However, he never expected that the Japanese had already put their hands into the Ministry of National Defense.
"Director, the Ministry of National Defense can let it go first, but the person who has been in contact with him must be controlled immediately. After all, we don't know what was passed between the two of them. If it is confidential information or... Military deployment information, the consequences will be huge." Zhang Jianghe, with a determined look on his face, took the initiative to ask Ying to direct the arrest operation, and promised that the arrest operation would be controlled within a very small scope.
"Then arrest it first. As long as the thing is confirmed, I will handle it from the Ministry of National Defense." After thinking for a while, the director also became angry. After all, there are not many things that can be controlled in this matter. If you are not careful, the consequences will be really disastrous.
Zhang Jianghe immediately led people to join Tang Cheng and the others, and learned that Plaid Suit was in the newspaper office at the moment. Zhang Jianghe immediately decided to arrest the target halfway when he returned to his residence after work. "Uncle Zhang, why don't you leave the shoe store to us? There is only one shopkeeper and two clerks in the shoe store on the left and right. I have a dozen old policemen there. I can deal with them."
Zhang Jianghe knew what Tang Cheng had planned, but he didn't want Tang Cheng to be involved, so he shook his head and rejected Tang Cheng's suggestion. Tang Cheng was not worried at all. He just followed Zhang Jianghe's instructions and asked his veteran police officers to cooperate with Zhang Jianghe's people in making arrangements. After all, arresting people on the street without being noticed required the cooperation of Tang Cheng and the others. .
Time passed little by little while waiting. Finally, when the plaid suit walked out of the door of the newspaper office, Tang Cheng and others cheered up. According to the tracking records of Tangcheng and the others in the past two days, after getting off work from the newspaper office, Plaid Suit would go to a regular small restaurant for dinner, and then stop by the vegetable market to buy cooked food for late night snacks. Zhang Jianghe decided to arrest him outside the vegetable market.
