Tang Cheng's words sounded relaxed, but Hans couldn't relax at the moment, because Tang Cheng could leave Shanghai at any time, but he had to continue to stay in Shanghai. Once you become a suspected target of the concession patrol house, you may also be targeted by the special high school. Hans, who is familiar with the inside situation of the concession patrol house, knows that there are not only Japanese patrols in the concession patrol house, but also many Chinese patrolmen who are secretly working for the special police. Higher education services.
Tang Cheng didn't know what Hans was worried about. He just glanced at Hans with a strange expression and said with a smile. "Hans, don't worry, this matter will never involve you. What I just said are only my current thoughts. The real action plan needs to be decided after I see the terrain on the spot. Kill There are many ways for a person, and it does not necessarily require the use of firearms." Tang Cheng's persuasion made Hans feel a little relieved. At this moment, he could only pray for God's blessing secretly in his heart.
After leaving Hans' restaurant, Tang Cheng did not return to his residence, but went straight to Hongkou District. After the Izakaya Murder Case, the Japanese Army and the Special High School Division stationed in Shanghai tightened their control over Hongkou District. In addition, the Izakaya Murder Case had not been solved. Only when Tangcheng saw the Japanese military checkpoint in Hongkou District from a distance did he realize that there were many suspicious things around him. man of. Most of the suspicious people noticed by Tang Cheng were wearing dark coats. Occasionally, someone would be pulled out of the queue and asked in a low voice. Tang Cheng guessed that these people might all be plainclothes members of the Extra-High School.
However, Tang Cheng, who was parked here at the street entrance, was also questioned by a man in a coat. Perhaps Tang Cheng's tender appearance played a role in confusing him. The other party just asked Tang Cheng a few questions and did not continue to pester him. The inspections at the checkpoints were equally strict. The Japanese soldiers placed at the checkpoints not only had to check everyone's documents and ask for their address in Hongkou District, but they also had to register them for verification. I didn't expect that the Japanese would be so strict in interrogating them. Tang Cheng observed them from a distance for a while, but did not follow the flow of people and queue up in front of the checkpoint to wait for inspection.
Without entering Hongkou District, Tang Cheng had no way to personally check the previously selected locations, but Tang Cheng had already thought of other ways. "Why are you back again?" When I saw Hans again, the latter was busy in the kitchen of the restaurant. When he saw Tang Cheng leaving and returning, Hans's face immediately showed a hint of impatience, because he Knowing that Tang Cheng would definitely not do anything good if he came back to find him again.
"Hans, I need your help. To be precise, I need you to lend me a few people." Tang Cheng didn't care at all about Hans' ugly expression at the moment, and just pulled the busy Hans into the office. "Don't worry, I will never put the people you lend me to danger. I just need help with some trivial matters. I will let them go within an hour at most." As he spoke, Tang Cheng took out the makeup oils and clothes that he had stored with Hans from the cabinet in the corner.
Hans had no choice but to follow Tang Cheng's request and call three men who were working in the black market. "What you have to do is very simple. When I finish cleaning up, you can follow me to the pier. I know there should be a cruise ship coming from Tianjin this afternoon. I don't care what method you use, whether it's stealing or robbing." That's fine, or I can buy it with money. Anyway, I need a ticket from Tianjin to Shanghai, third class is fine." In front of Hans, Tang Cheng smeared makeup on his face and told Hans. These three men of Si.
Hans, who was originally worried, couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Tang Cheng said that he just wanted his people to help him get a ticket. It was too easy to just get a useless ticket. "Tang, what do you want a useless ticket for?" Hans finally felt relieved and immediately turned into a curious baby, because he didn't understand what Tang Cheng wanted for such a useless ticket.
Tang Cheng, who was sitting in front of the mirror, glanced at Tang Cheng angrily. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke in a low voice under Hans' eyes full of curiosity. "The Hongkou District has been almost fully controlled by the Japanese military police and police. When passing the customs, even Japanese people need to check their documents and register their addresses. I have documents, but there is no way to provide my specific address, so I You can only forge a new identity to pass the customs, such as an abandoned son of a family who has just come to Shanghai from Tianjin to seek life."
"Yes, your method is indeed good!" As soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, Hans clapped his hands in an inference. "A person who has just come to Shanghai from other places cannot provide a fixed address. If you just register your name, your fake ID will be enough to handle the inspection." With Tangcheng's explanation, Hans can fully understand Tangcheng's plan. What was the idea? A boat ticket from Tianjin to Shanghai became the most important link in Tangcheng's fabrication of lies.
About a quarter of an hour later, Tang Cheng, whose face had changed for the most part, kicked Hans and others out of the office. When he changed clothes and came out of the office, even Hans, who was very familiar with Tang Cheng, couldn't help but Call God Daddy. "God! Tang, how did you do it? It's amazing!" Tang Cheng, who used to have a handsome face and eyes like lightning, has now turned into a frustrated young man wearing an old suit with a slightly haggard face. If at this moment, Tang Cheng didn't speak first. Hans would definitely regard the person in front of him as a stranger.
"Hans, can you shut your mouth first? This is not a magic trick, it's just a simple makeup technique!" Tang Cheng curled his lips angrily, thinking that if you could live to the 21st century and see famous people, After Korean makeup, maybe you won’t be so surprised. Tang Cheng asked Hans to help him check if there were any omissions. In the end, Tang Cheng deliberately soiled his shoes. Then he left Hans's house with a suitcase containing a few clothes and two Japanese books. restaurant and went straight to the pier.
Tang Cheng was very confident in his plan, but just to be careful, he made some disguises in Hans's restaurant office. Hans's three men did not follow Tang Cheng closely. Instead, they followed Tang Cheng's instructions and scattered far around Tang Cheng. If someone who didn't know the basics saw the four of them, they would never think of Tang Cheng. They are in the same group. The cruise ship from Tianjin had not yet arrived. After Tang Cheng entered the pier carrying the suitcase, he did not immediately wipe off the disguise on his face as planned.
The layer of paint on Tang Cheng's face was only used to deceive the possible spies on the dock. As soon as the American cruise ship from Tianjin started to disembark passengers, Tang Cheng would blend into the crowd and wipe off the disguise on his face. Then he disguised himself as a passenger on the cruise ship and left the dock. This is a method that Tang Cheng suddenly thought of outside Hongkou District. If he could find plainclothes from the Extra High School class at the dock at this moment, he might wipe off his disguise and deliberately stage a show in front of the plainclothes from the Extra High School class. Come up with new dramas to deepen the other party's impression.
There is a mixed crowd on the pier. Maybe the person you were talking to in dialect just now is a plainclothes spy. Maybe he is affiliated with the Special High School, maybe he is affiliated with the police department, or he is a gangster secretly working for the intelligence service. Seeing the honest and indifferent Tang Cheng sitting on a bench with a few middle-aged people, and listening to the business stories of the middle-aged people around him, Tang Cheng calmly began to use his peripheral vision to secretly observe his surroundings. of men and women. After the first round of scanning, Tang Cheng found no suspicious person, but he did not give up the search, but became more cautious.
After observing for a long time, Tang Cheng finally discovered something strange, especially those guys who looked like hawkers in front of him on the left. Tang Cheng actually found that one of them was wearing a Western-style shirt under his short coat. There are many street vendors like this in Shanghai. Most of them wear double-breasted jackets. There is absolutely no street vendor who wears an expensive Western-style shirt under his coat. Tang Cheng's eyes immediately locked on this suspicious hawker. In just a few minutes, this guy who looked like a hawker got close and whispered to at least four people.
Without physical contact with the other party, Tang Cheng had no way to 100% confirm the other party's identity. The thoughts in his mind were fleeting, and Tang Cheng finally gave up the idea of contacting the other party. Time passed little by little under Tang Cheng's observation. As time went by, more and more people were on the dock. One of Hans' men appeared not far from Tang Cheng. Under Tang Cheng's observation, , lit a cigarette and started smoking as if nothing had happened. Lighting up a cigarette in Tangcheng beforehand was a sign that the cruise ship from Tianjin was about to enter the port.
A few minutes later, the pier became more and more lively. Many men and women who came to pick up people at the pier all looked forward to the cruise ship that was slowly approaching the pier. Tang Cheng was mixed in the crowd, and the hand towel with water in his hand quickly slid over his face. In just a few times, the paint on his face was wiped clean. Tang Cheng appeared on the pier with a completely different face, standing quietly beside the two old men. If he hadn't put the old suitcase at his feet, people might have thought that this was a family coming to pick up someone at the pier. Three mouthfuls.
The cruise ship docked and passengers began to disembark. Tang Cheng carefully observed the passengers disembarking from the cruise ship. Finally, Tang Cheng locked a suitable target. This was a young man who looked a few years older than Tang Cheng, but looking at his timid eyes, Tang Cheng judged that he was probably a rookie traveling far away for the first time. Tang Cheng turned his head and secretly nodded to the man in a top hat who was three or four steps away from him. When the man looked at him, Tang Cheng made a shape of a peaked cap on his head with his hand, and walked toward him. The young man who got off the cruise ship gestured with his lips.
