The sudden noise caused the alley to become quiet instantly. People in the street immediately turned to look in the direction of the sound, just in time to see the second brick falling on Luo Dahai's small stool. The small stool hit by the brick overturned with a sound. The cloth bag that Luo Dahai had been sitting under his buttocks bounced off the small stool. After turning several times in the air, it landed on the concrete pavement on the street. superior.
There is an old saying that no coincidence can make a book, which exactly proves that at this moment, the small cloth bag was first hit by a brick, and then fell heavily on the cement pavement. Suddenly, a ball of flame burst out with a "pop!" sound. Accompanied by this somewhat suppressed gunshot, Luo Dahai, who was turning over from the street, fell heavily to the street again. A bloody arrow shot from him. Splattered on his neck. The gun that Luo Dahai put in the cloth bag actually misfired at this time, and the bullet hit by the misfire hit Luo Dahai's neck.
If the sound of the iron barrel before was not enough to alert Xu Zixi in the bookstore, then the sound of gunshots that followed was the best alarm. Hearing the gunshots outside the bookstore, Xu Zixi, who was sitting and chatting with customers, immediately got up from his chair and strode to the street window to look out. The shoe repair stall used by Luo Dahai to hide his identity was not far from the bookstore. Through the window, Xu Zixi happened to see Luo Dahai covering his neck and twitching on the street opposite.
The sound of gunfire occurred very suddenly, and Xu Zixi, who was chatting with customers in the bookstore, was also shocked. Through the window of the bookstore facing the street, Xu Zixi saw another man covering his head and face with a felt hat, running quickly towards the fallen man. The shoe repairman across the street. Xu Zixi frowned slightly. At this moment, he had a vague feeling that something was not right. Looking at the man in the felt hat who was kneeling next to the shoe repairman, Xu Zixi suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
This was no small matter, so Xu Zixi cleverly kept this guest who had been chatting with him for a while, so that when the police came to ask questions later, he would have a witness who could help him out. Hearing the sound of gunshots, Tang Cheng, who had already climbed onto the roof at the other end of the alley, was stunned. In the blink of an eye, Tang Cheng jumped down from the roof. If someone shoots, the street in front will soon be blocked by the police. If the shoe repairman is from Zhongtong, then Zhongtong will come to take over the place. The purpose of reminding Hongye Bookstore by himself has been achieved. For Tangcheng, there is no need to stay here anymore.
Tang Cheng did not expect that things would be such a coincidence. His purpose of throwing the brick was more to verify the identity of the shoe repairman, but he did not expect that it would be such a coincidence that the other party's pistol would fire. Tang Cheng quickly left the street, and after continuously getting into the alleys, Tang Cheng appeared not far from his home. Tang Cheng has forgotten what happened outside Hongye Bookstore at this moment. He has tried his best. If Xu Zixi can't wake up, it will only be his own misfortune.
When Tang Cheng returned home, his eldest sister Tang Juan immediately brought a telegram. The telegram was sent by Zhang Xin from Chongqing, saying that Ma Ye had taken people to leave Chongqing, and indicated the time when Ma Ye and his party arrived in Nanjing. Without any hesitation, Tang Cheng immediately called Bai Zhanshan and asked for help in booking a boat ticket to Chongqing south in five days. "16 tickets? Do you have that many people?" Bai Zhanshan on the other end of the phone hesitated. Bai Zhanshan knew exactly how many people there were in Tangcheng's family.
"Uncle Bai, don't ask so many questions. There are a few friends who are going south together. They will escort us along the way." Tang Cheng didn't want to explain too much to Bai Zhanshan, because among the 16 tickets, four of them belonged to Zhang Jiang and his family, Tangcheng is planning to take them south to Chongqing. Tang Cheng refused to answer the question, and Bai Zhanshan couldn't follow up on the phone, so he had no choice but to agree. All afternoon, Tang Cheng stayed at home, helping his mother organize her collection of books and trinkets. It was not until after dinner that Tang Cheng went out again and went straight to Hongye Bookstore.
Tang Cheng, who was cautious all the way, walked in circles several times in a row, and after confirming that no one was following him, he entered the street where Hongye Bookstore was located. The traces of the day had obviously been cleaned up, and the place where the shoe repairman stayed was empty. However, when Tang Cheng walked by, he could still vaguely smell the smell of blood in the air. From where Tang Cheng was standing, he looked diagonally across from Hongye Bookstore. What surprised Tang Cheng was that the lights were still on inside Hongye Bookstore.
There was light shining through the bookstore, which meant that there was someone inside, but Tang Cheng didn't know if it was Xu Zixi who was inside the bookstore. After thinking for a moment, Tang Cheng turned around and left with a quick stride. In the time it took him to smoke, Tang Cheng used the cover of the night to quietly move to the alley behind Hongye Bookstore. Gently twisting the ring on the tail finger of his right hand, Tang Cheng, who used the light body skill, just jumped up and already clung to the eaves with his hands. Then he pulled up and rolled his body, and Tang Cheng appeared in Hongye Bookstore like a raccoon cat. roof.
Slowly moving forward on the roof, Tang Cheng moved to the side of the chimney on the roof. There were no skylights or air holes on the roof. At this moment, Tang Cheng could only judge how many people were in the bookstore through the chimney on the roof. When someone speaks in the bookstore, the sound will be transmitted down the chimney to Tang Cheng's ears, but the sound is not very clear, and Tang Cheng can only judge the number of people in the bookstore based on this.
Tang Cheng squatted quietly behind the chimney, listening attentively to the vague sounds coming from the chimney. Soon, a quarter of an hour had passed, but Tang Cheng still had no way to determine the number of people in the bookstore at the moment. But what Tangcheng can be sure of is that there will be no less than three people in the bookstore, and one of them is Xu Zixi, whom he knows. Just as Tang Cheng was squatting on the roof, hesitating whether he should go down, he suddenly heard the roar of a motor, and two black cars suddenly appeared on the street where Hongye Bookstore was located.
Tang Cheng immediately opened the triple eyepiece. The triple eyepiece with night vision function allowed Tang Cheng, who was standing high on the roof, to quickly see clearly the two faces in the front seat of the first black car. The two faces no longer looked young, but they both had serious expressions, especially the one sitting in the passenger seat, who was making a gesture of pulling the holster of his pistol. Tang Cheng was shocked. The gunman wearing a dark Chinese tunic suit who appeared late at night might be someone from Zhongtong.
At this moment, Tang Cheng couldn't help but curse Xu Zixi secretly in his heart, saying that this guy was too eager to respond to his warning at noon. But despite the scolding, Tang Cheng could not just sit back and watch Xu Zixi being captured by Zhongtong's people. However, Tang Cheng was so anxious that he had not yet figured out how to help. Accompanied by the screeching sound of brakes, two cars speeding from the street stopped outside Hongye Bookstore. Several muscular men also wearing Chinese tunic suits jumped out of the cars.
"Pah...pah..." Xu Zixi and others, who had just reacted, were not slow in their actions. When the other party stepped onto the steps outside the bookstore, they shot outside the bookstore first, but both shots missed. . Gunshots rang out, and there was panic inside and outside the bookstore, but Tang Cheng still squatted on the spot and did not move. There were faint sounds of rapid footsteps in the alley behind him. Tang Cheng on the roof had no choice but to take out the shell gun equipped with a rifle from the equipment bag, lowered his body and used a crab-like pace, ugly and fast. Move towards the back of the roof.
Using the triple eyepiece, the night had no effect on Tangcheng, so from a high position, he quickly saw clearly who appeared in the back alley. The three people who appeared in the back alley were all dressed like the people in the car. Tang Cheng knew that they should also be members of the Central Government. Since he was assigned to guard the retreat, Tang Cheng didn't have to worry. Before the three of them could take a ladder and prepare to climb to the roof, Tang Cheng, who was condescending, just pulled the trigger. After three soft sounds of "Puff, Puff, Puff!" , there were three more corpses in the dark back alley.
The gun battle in front of the bookstore continued. Tang Cheng, who had successfully solved the trouble in the back alley, returned to his previous position. "Pisces, I know it's you inside. This place has been surrounded by our Zhongtong for a long time. We have dealt with each other many times. You should know our Zhongtong's style of doing things. As long as you come out and surrender, I will guarantee that you will be popular. The drink is spicy, and a high-ranking official must do it, with a beautiful woman in his arms!" A slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded outside the main entrance of the bookstore.
No one in the bookstore responded. Even Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the roof of the bookstore, secretly curled his lips, thinking that these people were too devoid of anything new when recruiting people to surrender. They were just like those in movies and TV shows, they only talked about prosperity and wealth. Such words as beautiful women and high-ranking officials! The originally dense gunfire became sparse due to the appearance of this sound. Tang Cheng listened carefully on the roof and found that most of the remaining gunfire came from the bookstore.
It seems that the people in the bookstore are planning to resist to the end. Tang Cheng, who is squatting on the roof, can't help but nod secretly, thinking that people like the underground party are indeed willing to accept death. Then let me help you! Tang Cheng, who secretly pouted, flipped his wrist and took out the two wooden-handled pistols that he had secretly removed from the equipment bag. Look, I’ll give you a big one! Tang Cheng, who was laughing secretly on the roof like a chicken thief, raised his hand and threw a pistol from the roof.
The smoking gun fell from the roof and waited for it to land on the ground behind one of the cars. Only then did the Central Unification agents, who had used the car body as cover, finally scream in surprise. "Handgun!" A sharp voice suddenly rang out, and the next moment it was submerged in the explosion. At this moment, Tang Cheng took advantage of the chaos and threw another handgun off the roof.
