After seeing Tang Cheng's gestures clearly, Hans' men looked at the passengers getting off the cruise ship and easily spotted the young man wearing a peaked cap. When the other party actually got off the pier, Tang Cheng carried his old suitcase and walked out. A few minutes later, the man in the top hat who had just looked at Tang Cheng appeared behind Tang Cheng. There was no conversation between the two, just a slight physical contact, and an extra ferry ticket appeared in Tang Cheng's hand.
Tang Cheng, who had a slightly raised corner of his mouth, was secretly happy. He followed the flow of people away from the pier without turning his head, hailed a rickshaw and went straight to Hongkou District. With black-rimmed glasses, dull eyes, an old suit with rough edges, and a pair of dusty old leather shoes on Tang Cheng's feet, Tang Cheng appeared again outside the checkpoint in Hongkou District, looking like a frustrated young man. Posing as a Japanese expatriate from Tianjin who came to Shanghai to make a living, Tangcheng, who went by the pseudonym Heiichiro Koyama, easily passed through the checkpoints and sneaked into Hongkou District.
After successfully passing the checkpoint guarded by the Japanese army and entering Hongkou District, before Tangcheng Panasonic could get his strength, he encountered continuous street inspections by military police and police in Hongkou District. Fortunately, Tang Cheng was well prepared. Whether it was his ferry ticket or his fluent Kyoto accent, the military police or police who stopped him thought that Tang Cheng was a bankrupt expatriate who came to Shanghai from Tianjin. Under the guidance of an enthusiastic Japanese policeman, Tang Cheng checked into a small hotel. After learning that the hotel owner was related to the Japanese policeman, Tang Cheng complained secretly. It seemed that he would not be able to go back tonight.
Perhaps because of the massacre at the izakaya, there were many more military police patrols in Hongkou District, both during the day and at night. Tang Cheng just left the hotel to find a place to eat. In just half an hour, he encountered military police patrols three times. Tang Cheng had to be careful. Before it got dark, Tang Cheng walked through several locations he had chosen before. However, he did not find the best shooting location suitable for long-distance sniping.
According to the information collected with the help of Hans, Kenichi Yamamoto does not have any special hobbies and does not usually go out alone. Even when he was wandering around Hongkou District, Kenichi Yamamoto would be followed by several Japanese plainclothes retinues. The night was dark, and Tang Cheng, who was tossing and turning in the hotel bed and unable to fall asleep, felt a little regretful. He regretted that he should not have agreed to Bai Zhanshan so happily. This Yamamoto Kenichi was indeed not an easy target to deal with.
It's just that it's too late to regret it now. Tang Cheng is somewhat aware of the intelligence department's methods. Even if it's not for himself, even for his family far away in Chongqing, Tang Cheng can only bite the bullet and continue this matter. Tang Cheng, who was lying on the bed, sighed secretly. He was not sleepy at the moment, so he began to recall in his mind the places he had seen in the afternoon. The information provided by Hans showed that Kenichi Yamamoto was a very boring person with almost no rules at all.
However, Tang Cheng found an omission in the other party from the information provided by Hans. Kenichi Yamamoto had always lived a single life and rarely visited crowded places. But in Hongkou District, there is a bookstore called Kubo Bookstore, and Kenichi Yamamoto always goes there once a week. In the afternoon of Tangcheng, he had already visited this bookstore called Kubo. From Tangcheng's point of view, Kenichi Yamamoto often went to this bookstore not because he was eager to learn, but because the proprietress of Kubo Bookstore also had the surname Yamamoto.
The proprietress of Kubo Bookstore is probably a relative of Kenichi Yamamoto. This is only Tang Cheng's judgment, but his judgment needs further verification. If this clue can be put to good use, then Kubo Bookstore will become Tang Cheng's preferred location for action. After repeated deductions in his mind several times, Tang Cheng gave up the idea of sneaking into Kubo Bookstore and starting from within. Kenichi Yamamoto is a senior spy of the Special High School. Tangcheng believes that he will never allow a stranger of unknown origin to appear next to his relatives, and Tangcheng himself is absolutely unwilling to be in such a dangerous situation.
Tang Cheng silently calculated in his mind that if Kubo Bookstore was used as the location of the operation and the operation could not be carried out inside the bookstore, he would have to choose the long-distance sniping method before. In the street where Kubo Bookstore is located, there is no location that Tangcheng can use. Tangcheng thought about it carefully and it seemed that only the movie theater across the street could use it. The cinema is more than 400 meters away from Kubo Bookstore. If you stand on the roof of the cinema, you can see Kubo Bookstore across the street in the middle of the street.
The 400-meter shooting range seems to be a bit difficult if you use an ordinary rifle. However, Tangcheng not only has the triple eyepiece skill, but Bai Zhanshan also promised to provide a Mauser sniper rifle. Therefore, the 400-meter shooting range is very difficult for Tangcheng. To me, it's nothing at all. Perhaps this was the only way. Tang Cheng, who repeatedly deduced the course of action in his mind, finally fell asleep without realizing it. Early the next morning, after checking out of the hotel, Tang Cheng went straight to the cinema that he had thought of last night. After measuring the distance between the cinema and Kubo Bookstore, Tang Cheng could finally feel relieved.
After not returning home all night, Tang Cheng returned to his residence and was immediately called to the study by Zhang Jianghe for a secret conversation. "You don't have to worry, old man. I already have a solution." Tang Cheng, who was asked by Zhang Jianghe why he didn't come back to sleep last night, originally thought He didn't want to tell the other party his plan, but seeing the concern in Zhang Jianghe's eyes and feeling warm in his heart, Tang Cheng had no choice but to tell the truth. "I went to Hongkou District yesterday, and I have found a clue that can be used. Starting from tomorrow, it may take two to three days for me to come back."
Tang Cheng, who didn't want Zhang Jianghe to worry about him, just talked about his plan in general. Although he could hear the relief in Tang Cheng's words, Zhang Jianghe was still worried. "Uncle, we have agreed before that your task now is to recover from your injuries as soon as possible. As long as you recover from your injuries, we can return to Nanjing immediately, and you don't have to worry about me getting into trouble every day. This of mine Although the plan is not very strict, the probability of success is very high. Besides, I have already planned the retreat plan. Whether it succeeds or not, you have to ask me to give it a try to find out!"
Tang Cheng's attitude was resolute. Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Zhang Jianghe immediately changed the subject and stopped dwelling on the matter. "Xiaowu, what are you going to do about Miss Zhou? Although I don't know her details yet, I don't think this Miss Zhou is a bad person. It's just that such a big living person lives here for no reason. It's a bit weird." As he spoke, Zhang Jianghe secretly paid attention to Tang Cheng's reaction from the corner of his eye. He was paying attention to Tang Cheng's attitude towards Zhou Hongzhuang.
Tang Cheng knew that Zhang Jianghe was testing him, so he pretended to be helpless and followed Zhang Jianghe's words and said, "Uncle, what do you think we should do? I've asked her several times, but she doesn't know anything. If she refuses to tell me, I only know that her surname is Zhou, and I don’t know anything else. If I let her leave like this, she might be put in a sack by gangsters in the concession and sold to some brothel. What can I do? Besides, what happened to her? That's a gunshot wound. If you send him to the police station, he might even be imprisoned on some unknown charge."
Tangcheng's original intention of keeping Zhou Hongzhuang was so that Zhang Jianghe, who had a secret identity, could have the opportunity to contact the Shanghai underground party through Zhou Hongzhuang, so he could not send Zhou Hongzhuang away easily. However, Zhang Jianghe didn't know Tang Cheng's plan. In addition, Tang Cheng had always shown his distaste for politics and factions in front of Zhang Jianghe. Zhang Jianghe did not dare to reveal his secret identity in front of Tang Cheng easily. At this moment, even if he knew that Zhou Hongzhuang was an underground party member, he did not dare to reveal anything easily. He spoke to test Tang Cheng at this moment, just because Tang Cheng's frequent outings during this period made Zhang Jianghe feel a little uneasy and anxious.
"Uncle, why don't we let Miss Zhou stay with us first? Anyway, we don't lack her stutter here." Tang Cheng secretly paid attention to Zhang Jianghe's reaction. This time it was his turn to test Zhang Jianghe. "I will be very busy these days. Miss Zhou is here, and you can have someone at home who can talk to you. Don't you always say that William and the others are boring? You are an elder. If you ask Miss Zhou, maybe She can tell you her things, which is better than us always guessing!"
Tang Cheng and Zhang Jiang, who had their own thoughts, carefully tested each other. In the end, no one told the truth, but they both made their own decisions in their hearts. As far as Tang Cheng is concerned, he doesn't care if Zhou Hongzhuang is a member of the underground party. As long as this woman doesn't go out casually, this will be the safest place for her to hide. Zhang Jianghe was also thinking secretly at this moment, wondering whether he should continue to set up Zhou Hongzhuang. Perhaps this was the best way to restore contact with the organization.
Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe had their own thoughts surrounding Zhou Hongzhuang, and the key figure Zhou Hongzhuang was currently lying in bed looking through the newspapers of the past few days, trying to find information related to the Shanghai Underground Party from these newspapers. information. In the past few days when Tang Chengqiang was left to recuperate, Zhou Hongzhuang not only cooperated with the doctors and nurses to recuperate, but also played chess and chatted with Uncle Zhang, who was missing an arm. The annoying guy who saved her seemed very... busy.
Zhou Hongzhuang was grateful to Tangcheng, but she accidentally knew that the man was helping foreigners, so all the gratitude in her heart turned into contempt. She couldn't understand why a guy who was willing to help others had to do things for foreigners. People do things. When she thought of Tang Cheng's smiling face, Zhou Hongzhuang couldn't help but feel irritated. For some reason, Zhou Hongzhuang always found Tang Cheng's smiling face annoying.
She didn't see any news related to Shanghai's underground party in the newspapers, nor did she find any contact information issued by the underground party organization in the advertisement column. While she was secretly disappointed, Zhou Hongzhuang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In her opinion, as long as there is no bad news, it is the best news.
