The precautions Tang Cheng had taken in advance were not in vain. Just as he expected, after the movie started, Masao Aoki, who had already sat down, stood up and changed his position. Kuroko saw this and wanted to get up and follow him, but was stopped by Tang Cheng. He stretched out his hand to stop it. The policeman sitting in the corner also noticed Masao Aoki's movements, but saw that Tang Cheng didn't move, so he didn't react. He just continued to pretend to be a couple with Lao Ma's nephew, and continued to whisper to each other while pretending. watched the movie.

Aoki Masao deliberately moved his position. Seeing that other people in the cinema didn't seem to pay attention to him, he felt relieved and got up again and moved to that specific position. Finding that the target had moved again, Tang Cheng immediately whispered a few words into Heizi's ear. After the latter nodded, he immediately stood up and left the cinema. After a while, when Heizi came back, he already had two packs of snacks in his hands. When an uninformed person sees this scene, they will think that this is a greedy young man who went out to buy snacks. But they never expected that Heizi not only bought snacks when he went out, but also passed Tangcheng's orders to Lao Zhou and others waiting at the surveillance point through the vendors outside the cinema.

Tang Cheng only ate a few chestnuts from a pack before he saw a middle-aged man sitting in front of Masao Aoki stand up. Tang Cheng then flicked a chestnut towards the two of them with his fingers. "I want to eat chestnuts too, go out and buy me a pack!" **'s voice was not loud, but it was enough for the middle-aged man who got up to leave to hear. Lao Ma's nephew agreed, and the middle-aged man agreed. People left the theater before.

Is this a coincidence? The middle-aged man who left the theater early couldn't help but slow down. When he walked out of the cinema, he happened to see the young man coming out in front of him. He was at the entrance of the cinema and took a bottle from a vendor. Wrapped chestnuts. Ma Song, who was holding a chestnut in his hand, passed by the middle-aged man and went straight into the cinema without even looking back. Although it was just a passing glance, Ma Song's shaky posture was already noticed by the middle-aged man, and he could finally relax. The Nationalist Government's intelligence agency would never use such a person.

The middle-aged man who felt relieved walked slowly westward along the street. Little did he know that when Ma Song came out of the cinema, Lao Zhou and others waiting at the surveillance point had already focused their attention. Go to the door of the cinema. The moment the middle-aged man appeared, Lao Zhou took a few people out of the surveillance point. At the two street intersections on the left and right, Lao Zhou arranged for people to wait for the middle-aged man's arrival.

Time passed by, and Masao Aoki, who patiently finished the movie, breathed a sigh of relief because he had watched this movie three times in a row. After the movie, Masao Aoki walked out of the cinema. Tang Cheng and Kuroko, who were competing for fried chestnuts, walked in front of him. The two people, who were talking about the plot of the movie while walking, walked a few meters behind Masao Aoki. Everything was watched. There is nothing unusual about wearing it. Masao Aoki has received the latest instructions, but the dictated instructions will not leave any traces, so Masao Aoki does not have to worry about the possibility of a crisis that could endanger him.

After leaving the cinema, Masao Aoki went to listen to another play, then went to his usual restaurant for dinner, and then returned to his residence. "This person has a problem, and the person who left early in the cinema has an even bigger problem. From now on, the focus will be on the person who left, and see if we can find more loaches through that person." After the movie, At that time, Tang Cheng took advantage of the opportunity of playing with Heizi and had an accidental contact with Masao Aoki. Through his own triggering skills, Tang Cheng has been 100% sure that this man named Wang Kai is a Japanese spy. If he didn't want to play a long-term game to catch a big fish, Tang Cheng might be able to catch this Japanese man named Wang Kai now. spy.

Before dinner, Lao Zhou and others also returned to the yard that served as a safe house and brought some not-so-good news to Tangcheng. "Captain, according to your order, we have been following the guy who left the cinema early. It turned out that this guy actually entered a theater to listen to a play. We did not go up to the private room on the second floor that this guy entered, but we heard from the waiter. , there were other people in the private room. I later left people in the theater, and I just need to wait for our people to come back to find out who else was in the private room at that time."

Lao Zhou was one of the few safe people in the investigation team, and Tang Cheng never doubted his ability. Since Lao Zhou was acting according to his own instructions, Tang Cheng didn't say much. While they were waiting for the moon to rise above the treetops, the two people Lao Zhou left in the theater came back, but they didn't bring back any good news because they actually lost the person. "There was nothing we could do. The man was too slippery. He would not walk on the main road and would only go into the small alleys. We didn't dare to follow too close, so he slipped away..."

"I don't blame you for this. I told you a long time ago that it would be better to be lost than to be discovered by the target and being followed." Tang Cheng seemed to have foreseen such a situation and just asked Heizi to bring pen and paper. "Now is not the time to dwell on those things. If you lose them, just lose them. It's no big deal. Now, tell me carefully about that person's appearance. It's best to recall everything you saw."

This is not the first time that Tang Cheng has drawn a portrait of a target based on the description, but this is the first time for these peripheral members of the investigation team to see such miraculous skills. As the two described and complemented each other, a facial sketch gradually took shape on the drawing paper in front of Tang Cheng. "It's so similar, that's what that person looks like!" The two peripheral team members who had had direct contact with the target were dumbfounded. This sketch of Tang Cheng was even more similar than the photo.

After double-checking with the two peripheral team members, Tang Cheng made a few final touches before finally putting down the brush in his hand. "Lao Zhou, find a photo studio you know and trust us to take a remake of this portrait. We must have one photo for each of us." As Tang Cheng spoke, his heart suddenly moved, and he used a paintbrush at the bottom of the portrait in a wicked way. Paint the image of a mouse. "From now on, the middle-aged man in the movie theater is called Loach**, and this person is codenamed Mouse, and the operation against him is called Operation Rat Hunt."

Out of spite, Tang Cheng gave this newly emerged target the code name of a mouse. However, he did not expect that in just a few days, a total of 12 people belonging to three groups would be implicated behind this mouse. A latent agent comes. "Captain, didn't we always hand it over to the Military Intelligence Department immediately after confirming the target before? Why this time..." Lao Ma, who noticed something strange, asked Tang Cheng in a low voice.

Lao Ma's question made Tang Cheng look at the other party in surprise, "Even if you don't ask, I'm going to tell you about this matter." Tang Cheng didn't intend to hide it, since Lao Ma had already taken the initiative to ask about it. When things happened, Tang Cheng followed suit and explained. "During this period, our investigation team may have to be quiet for a while. The smooth sailing before has caused too much discussion. The military intelligence department is not monolithic. Before Captain Zhang comes back from Shanghai, we'd better not continue. Do whatever comes first.”

What Tang Cheng said was not very obvious, but the veteran police officers under him were originally veterans of various police stations in the city. Everyone understood the meaning of Tang Cheng's words just by listening to them. "Captain, isn't this new Captain Bai also the Operations Captain? Could it be that he..."

Before the old policeman could finish his words, Tang Cheng interrupted, "Don't think too much about it. Captain Bai is a close friend of my Uncle Zhang, and he is equally familiar with my late father. I know him as well as Uncle Zhang." It's the same. It's just that Captain Bai was transferred to Nanjing, and the foundation within the Intelligence Department is not yet stable. It's really not easy for us to get too close to him at this time, otherwise it will give someone with an intention to take advantage of the opportunity. I have just said, The intelligence service is not monolithic."

After Tang Cheng explained in this way, among the people present, there were still some people who did not understand what Tang Cheng meant, but Old Zhou and others had already understood. When they carefully recalled what Tang Cheng had just said, everyone felt awe-inspiring. "That's why I said that we should calm down during this period, be patient and calm down, and carefully follow the existing lines at hand. In the past, we just reported the clues to the intelligence office, but now we have a lot of time, Why don't we do something big ourselves?"

Those veteran policemen who had not understood it just now finally realized that they dared to love their squad leader, not to abandon their martial arts skills, but to prepare to jump out and go it alone. The investigation team was not part of the official establishment of the Military Intelligence Division. In the entire investigation team, there were only two women named ** who were field officers of the Operations Section of the Intelligence Division. Therefore, no one said these words of Tang Cheng. be opposed to.

According to Tangcheng's arrangement, the investigation team focused its work on Masao Aoki, whose pseudonym was Wang Kai, and the middle-aged man codenamed Loach**. At the same time, it secretly searched for the new target named Mouse by Tangcheng. As for Bai Zhanshan, , Tang Cheng just kept in touch with the other party on the phone. "Captain, we found it. Our people found the mouse." One morning two days later, an excited old Zhou broke into Tang Cheng's house and brought good news to Tang Cheng who was having breakfast.

"Well done, let's go...talk as we go." After hearing that the mouse had been found, Tang Cheng didn't even bother to eat. He just grabbed two buns and rushed to the safe house with Lao Zhou. . In Tang Cheng's perception, this new target named Mouse is obviously much more important than Masao Aoki, who goes by the pseudonym Wang Kai, and the middle-aged man Ni Loach. Tang Cheng is vaguely aware that through this mouse, the investigation The team may be able to search for more Japanese spies.
