"You are so brave! Who else knows about what happened at the Lihua Ballroom last night?" When he saw Tang Cheng the next day, Hans, who had been anxious all night, hurriedly pulled Tang Cheng to his office. Before Tang Cheng, who was walking behind, could close the door of the office, he already asked Tang Cheng impatiently. Hans acted so impatiently that Tang Cheng knew that the other party was half worried about himself and half worried that the matter would be leaked and the Special High School would know about it.

"Don't worry. All the insiders died in the Lihua Ballroom last night. The people on my side are all very tight-lipped. They will never leak the matter." Tang Cheng pretended to be mysterious. The words he had planned for a long time came out with a smile. This was the first time that he admitted in front of Hans that he had helpers behind him.

Sure enough, as Tang Cheng had expected, when Tang Cheng said these words himself, Hans, who was originally full of anxiety, was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he sat down in the chair stiffly, and used the corners of his eyes from time to time. Pay attention to Tangcheng from the corner of your eye. Tang Cheng didn't take it seriously and sat down opposite Hans with the same nonchalant expression.

"You called me so early in the morning and you still insisted on me coming to your place. Tell me, what's going on?" After sitting down opposite Hans, Tang Cheng calmly took out a cigarette and said, First he threw one to the other party, then he took a cigarette and lit it up. The smell of tobacco quickly spread in the office. After Hans took a few puffs of cigarettes, he spoke in front of Tang Cheng's eyes.

"I got the news early in the morning that the Special High School was very concerned about what happened at the Lihua Ballroom last night. They contacted Zhang Xiaolin from the Qinggang last night and tried to lobby Huang Huangrong in the French Concession through Zhang Xiaolin to ask the French Concession Patrol Office to secretly cooperate with the Special High School. The high school is about to launch a manhunt in the French Concession." Although a few hours had passed, the news Hans said at this moment was still of some use in Hans' opinion, at least it could remind Tangcheng.

"Hans, you are too sensitive!" After hearing the news revealed by Hans, Tang Cheng shook his head. "Although Huang Huangrong is a big figure in the Youth Gang and has a good relationship with Zhang Xiaolin, he will never allow the Special High School to take action in the French Concession." As a senior netizen who has read countless Internet articles about the Republic of China in later generations, Tang Cheng knows too well Huang Jinrong, the Youth Gang tycoon. Although Huang Huangrong is a big figure in the Youth Gang and has committed many crimes and crimes, Huang Huangrong has no good impression of the Japanese when it comes to major issues.

Tang Cheng's recognition of Huang Huangrong surprised Hans, especially when Tang Cheng said Huang Huangrong's name, there was a hint of admiration in his tone. Hans couldn't help but think that Tangcheng, with its mysterious origins, might have some unexplainable connection with the Qing Gang, especially Huang Huangrong. Tang Cheng didn't know what Hans was thinking at the moment. Even if he knew that Hans connected him with Huang Jinrong, he would probably laugh it off because it was simply nonsense.

It is always a pleasure to chat with Hans, because there is no conflict of interest between Tang Cheng and Hans. After telling Tang Cheng in detail about the information he has obtained, Hans is still very worried about Tang Cheng. "Hans, thank you for your concern. I will be careful! This is Shanghai, a place where the jungle is strong and the strong eats the weak. A few people dying is nothing." Tang Cheng's expression was still calm. After all, he went to Hongkou District to cause trouble. At that time, Tang Cheng had already anticipated the Japanese reaction. After chatting with Hans for more than 2 hours, Tangcheng left the restaurant with the banknotes obtained from handling the stolen goods in his pocket.

With money in his pocket, he naturally wanted to spend some money. Taking the address provided by Hans, Tang Cheng quickly appeared in a British clothing store. The British tailors here were said to be very skilled. Tang Cheng ordered three suits and four shirts in one go at this British clothing store. After being fiddled with by the British tailor for a long time, Tang Cheng finally got the measurements right. Tang Cheng left the British clothing store with the receipt. When I arrived, I found that I actually spent more than 2 hours here.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the clothing store, Tang Cheng couldn't help but stop hearing his footsteps. While he was secretly stunned, he even cursed in his heart. Subconsciously, he glanced to his left first, then turned around and walked to the right, quietly following the two people who had just walked past the door of the clothing store. The moment he walked out of the store, a slightly familiar face appeared in Tang Cheng's sight. After being stunned for a moment, Tang Cheng remembered that this slightly familiar face was the three he copied from Hayakawa Meiji's memory. One of the faces.

After discovering the target, he naturally had to follow him first, so Tang Cheng followed the two people in front without any hesitation. The two people who were being followed by Tang Cheng didn't seem to notice anything strange. Like other pedestrians in the street, they just moved forward with the flow of people. As they passed the intersection ahead, Tang Cheng, who had been following them all the way, suddenly noticed that one of them seemed to have discovered something, so he immediately followed the two women, walked across the street, and walked into the bakery across the street. He Chengguang turned around, but found no suspicious person behind him, but he still felt strange in his heart and refused to give up. After walking across the street, he turned around several times, but still found nothing.

"He Sang, you are too careful. Although this is the French Concession, we are people with special higher education. Even the police in the French Concession do not dare to do anything to us." He Chengguang stopped several times and finally got into trouble. There is some dissatisfaction with Hase Kiyokawa. Although both of them are plainclothes agents of the Special High School, Hase Kiyokawa is Japanese and is invisibly one level higher than He Chengguang. But I don't know what the section chief had gotten into, and he actually asked himself to follow He Chengguang's orders. From the moment he met He Chengguang in the morning, Hase Kiyokawa was holding back a ball of fire in his heart.

Even a fool could hear the sense of superiority in Hase Kiyokawa's words, but He Chengguang didn't pay attention to it. He still looked around at the passers-by at the street corner, trying to find out what made him feel uncomfortable. It's a pity that He Chengguang stood there for a while and still couldn't find any strange passers-by. Tang Cheng, who came out of the bakery, looked at He Chengguang and He Chengguang standing at the intersection in front of him from a distance. The corner of his mouth slightly tilted up with a disdainful sneer, and he called a rickshaw on the street.

The rickshaw that Tang Cheng was riding passed by. Tang Cheng, who was not squinting, did not look at He Chengguang and the two who were standing there. He Chengguang also did not pay attention to Tang Cheng in the rickshaw. To him, Tang Cheng in the rickshaw was too young, too young to attract any attention from other people. No suspicious person was found. Under Hase Kiyokawa's repeated urging, He Chengguang had no choice but to follow Hase Kiyokawa and continue westward along the street. Not far from here was the place where Hase Kiyokawa rented.

After being ordered to enter the French Concession, Hase Kiyokawa changed his name to Zhao Yong and rented two houses in the French Concession. He and two others were responsible for contacting several gangs in the concession. Hase Kiyokawa only found out about the murder of Hayakawa Meiji and Sun Baohua in the Lihua Ballroom the next day. He originally thought that he could succeed Hayakawa Meiji as the leader of the three-person group, but he did not expect that there would be another special high school class. He Chengguang was appointed as the team leader.

The rickshaw in Tangcheng was traveling slowly in the street. The rickshaw driver who had taken a piece of Tangcheng deliberately slowed down according to the request of the guests. However, He Chengguang and the two people who were dozens of meters behind them did not know that they were following them. The man had moved ahead of them. Tang Cheng on the rickshaw had already activated his skills and locked Hase Kiyokawa firmly. As long as he was still within the range of the skills, even if Hase Kiyokawa entered the room, he could not escape Tang Cheng's lock.

With a familiar smile on his face and greeting people he knew, Hase Kiyokawa, who looked harmless, took He Chengguang to his rented residence. He Chengguang did not comment on Hase Kiyokawa's performance. After entering the residence, He Chengguang stood by the window sill and looked out through the window for a while. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he finally relaxed. "He Sang, don't worry, we have been renting here for more than a month, and the people living here are already very familiar with us." Hase Kiyokawa, who took off his coat and suit, wore a black sweater underneath, and put the room in the middle of the room. After the stove was lit, the originally cold room quickly warmed up.

He Chengguang and He Chengguang were in the house. At the alley not far from them, Tang Cheng, wearing a dark coat, stood. After thinking secretly for a while, Tang Cheng threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, hugged the bag of bread with one hand, and walked slowly into the alley. The alley is full of old residents. When a new face like Tang Cheng appears in the alley, it immediately attracts the attention of the residents. But Tang Cheng didn't care about this. The fake beard on his lips and his slightly dark complexion allowed Tang Cheng to hide his true face.

Hase Kiyokawa and the two people who were boiling water and making tea in the house did not know what was going on outside the house. After all, there were no strange sounds in the alley. Hase Kiyokawa had just poured the boiling water into the teapot when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. He Chengguang's reaction was much faster than Hase Kiyokawa's. He just stood up and stepped forward, and he was already standing by the door with his right hand. The tip of the knife was also faintly exposed. "Who?" Hase Kiyokawa hurriedly put down the teapot in his hand, made a calm gesture to He Chengguang, and asked aloud as he walked towards the door.

There was no response from the door, but the knocking on the door continued. He Chengguang leaned against the wall behind the door and motioned to Hase Kiyokawa, whose expression could not help changing, to open the door. "Who are you looking for? Here..." Hase Kiyokawa opened the door, and an unfamiliar face appeared in front of him. However, before he could finish his words, he was punched on the Adam's apple by Tang Cheng outside the door.
