"Section Chief, we really don't do anything, and we just expect this young boy?" Tang Cheng, who was carrying the cello case, left the Sifang Teahouse. Boss Xie, who was silent in the private room, immediately rushed to Bai Zhanshan. Words. "Section Chief, you always say how powerful this kid is, but when I looked at it just now, there didn't seem to be anything special about that kid. The assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto was a task assigned by the Division Chief. If that kid messed it up, let's think about it again. I’m afraid it will be difficult to take action.”
When Bai Zhanshan, who was holding the teacup in his hand, heard this, he paused slightly while drinking tea, then put down the teacup in his hand and turned to look at Boss Xie who looked anxious. "I know you are angry, but I don't want you to use this anger against your own people. You two brothers have only been transferred to the Intelligence Department for a month. You have no idea how capable that kid is." Bai Zhanshan The Xie brothers couldn't understand why they valued Tang Cheng, who had left the teahouse, so much. But they didn't know that in Bai Zhanshan's heart, the Xie brothers were probably no match for Tang Cheng even if they were tied together.
Tang Cheng, who had already left the teahouse, didn't know that the Xie brothers were thinking about him. He was standing on the street with his piano case and preparing to take a rickshaw, but strangely, no rickshaw appeared outside the Sifang Teahouse. Tang Cheng had no choice but to carry the piano case and walk towards the intersection. However, Tang Cheng was stopped before he went far. "Boy, what's in the box? Open it and take a look." Three concession patrols stopped Tangcheng. The leader had a scar on his face and looked very vicious.
The piano case in Tang Cheng's hand was brought to the teahouse by Bai Zhanshan. The Mauser sniper rifle was hidden in this piano case and brought into the concession. Tang Cheng seemed not to have thought that he would be stopped in the street after leaving the teahouse. "This is the cello case. I'm about to send it to a friend's house. Is there any problem?" As he spoke, Tang Cheng stretched out his right foot and put the case upright on his instep. Anyone who saw it One might also think that Tang Cheng did this because he was worried about dirtying the piano case.
Tang Cheng looked at the other three people expressionlessly. Although the concession patrol officers had the right to check passers-by on the street, they were obviously not ordinary people in their dress. The three concession patrol officers stopped him so arrogantly. If they weren't out of their mind, That's what someone ordered from behind. "Open it, I want to see what's in the box." The leading patrolman reached out to grab the piano case, but Tang Cheng separated him with his left hand. Seeing this, the other two patrolmen surrounded Tang Cheng.
"You don't need to bother a few people. I can just do it myself. This thing is very expensive. I'm afraid that my friend will complain that I broke it." Tang Cheng did not insist on continuing, and then opened the piano case, and the three patrolmen A trace of surprise immediately appeared on his face. The piano box that Tang Cheng opened was completely empty. "Guys, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'm leaving." The piano case was empty. Even if the three concession patrols were unwilling to do so, there was no reason to continue to embarrass Tang Cheng.
Carrying an empty piano case, Tang Cheng slowly walked around the three concessions on patrol. No one noticed that a sneer appeared on Tang Cheng's face at some point. Before he even reached the corner of the street, Tang Cheng already had suspicions in his mind. If this wasn't Bai Zhanshan testing himself out of love, then it could only be the two people Bai Zhanshan brought. When he was in the teahouse just now, Tang Cheng had noticed that when the two people looked at him, there was a hint of suspicion and disdain in their eyes.
Standing on the street corner, Tang Cheng secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had a carry-on equipment bag in his hand. Otherwise, if he had been forced to open the piano case by the three concession patrolmen just now, the rifle originally contained in the piano case would have become evidence that he was being pursued by the patrolmen. . The moment he got on the rickshaw, Tang Cheng made a decision in his mind. Originally, he planned to return the sniper rifle to Bai Zhanshan after killing Kenichi Yamamoto. Now it seems that he can keep this sniper rifle as his own. After getting on the rickshaw, Tang Cheng did not return to his residence immediately. Instead, he went directly to the tailor shop where he had made a suit for himself.
The tailor shop introduced by Hans was actually a hideout of Hans in the French Concession, and it was also doing black market business privately. Naturally, Tang Cheng didn’t come here to continue custom-making clothes. Tang Cheng came here to get goods. Hans not only secretly inquired about various information for the German intelligence agency, but he was also a black marketeer and a small arms dealer in private. Through Hans, Tangcheng obtained a military canvas and two military kettles. Because he was worried that Bai Zhanshan would arrange for people to keep an eye on him, Tang Cheng would not go to Hans' place for a while. These things could only be transferred to Tang Cheng through this tailor shop.
"What are you doing with this thing?" Zhang Jianghe, who was playing chess with Zhou Hongzhuang when he saw Tang Cheng returning with a piece of canvas, felt a little strange and asked aloud. Ever since he learned from Tang Cheng that Bai Zhanshan had come to Shanghai and wanted Tang Cheng to participate in the assassination of the members of the Special High School, Zhang Jianghe had paid great attention to Tang Cheng's daily whereabouts. At this moment, seeing Tang Cheng go out early in the morning and come back with just a piece of canvas, Zhang Jianghe felt nervous for no reason.
With Zhou Hongzhuang present, Tang Cheng didn't explain too much. He just said that he wanted to make some gadgets and went upstairs to the study with the roll of canvas under his arm. Zhou Hongzhuang's heart was also full of curiosity. In yesterday's confrontation with Tang Cheng, Zhou Hongzhuang knew that she was at a disadvantage, but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't seem to suffer at all. Zhou Hongzhuang, who was completely puzzled, played chess with Zhang Jianghe all morning, and also listened to Zhang Jianghe's chatter all morning, which also made her understand Tangcheng a little deeper.
Knowing that Tang Cheng is actually a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, Zhou Hongzhuang's original anger towards Tang Cheng dissipated a lot. Now she saw that Tang Cheng went to the study as soon as he came back. As a person who likes to get to the bottom of everything, As a woman, Zhou Hongzhuang changed the topic to Tang Cheng. "Uncle Zhang, you said he got a piece of fabric back, is it for making clothes?" Zhou Hongzhuang didn't know that the roll of fabric tucked under her arm when entering Tangcheng was military canvas. It looked white. Tangcheng asked the tailor shop to use chemical raw materials to remove the stain.
Zhou Hongzhuang asked this question without any clue. Zhang Jiang and Wen Yan raised their heads and glanced at each other. They thought to themselves: How could this girl be so stupid? Who uses white cloth to make clothes? Zhang Jiang and He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it in his mouth. After answering, after a slight pause, Zhang Jianghe suppressed a smile. "I guess Xiaowu is going to use that piece of cloth to make curtains. The curtains in the study have been used for a long time. It's time to change them and wash them!"
Compared with Zhou Hongzhuang's clueless question, Zhang Jianghe's answer was actually more unreliable, but Zhou Hongzhuang didn't hear it. Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jiang were playing chess downstairs and chatting without a word, while Tang Cheng was busy in the study upstairs. The Mauser sniper rifle Bai Zhanshan got from the army has been taken out of the equipment bag by Tang Cheng. This Mauser sniper rifle looks almost brand new, but it has not been proofread by Tang Cheng himself. He is very familiar with this Mauser sniper rifle. The performance of sniper rifles is not well understood.
Only 20 rounds of Mauser rifle bullets were given to Tang Cheng from Bai Zhanshan. It was said that these bullets were enough for Tang Cheng to complete the assassination of Yamamoto Kenichi. But Tang Cheng didn't think so, so after he locked himself in the study, he immediately called Hans and asked Hans to get him 30 rounds of Mauser rifle ammunition. 50 rounds of rifle bullets, that is, 10 bullet bridges. According to Tang Cheng's calculations, in addition to these bullets, a sniper rifle and some water, he can also carry a gun with a loaded gun in his carry-on equipment bag. pistol.
The portable equipment bag can be said to be Tang Cheng's biggest reliance in completing this assassination mission. Tang Cheng not only needs to carry a sniper rifle and a handgun for close combat, but also bullets and water. The carry-on equipment bag can only hold 7 and a half kilograms of items. Tangcheng needs to carefully calculate the number and weight of the items carried. A small oversight may lead to omissions in this operation. The piece of military canvas brought back from the tailor shop had faded to completely white. However, after some tormenting by Tang Cheng, the white military canvas quickly turned into a shabby-looking color.
"I have to go out in the evening. If it's too late, I might stay at a friend's house temporarily. There may be some unrest in the concession these days. If someone comes to your door, ask William and the others to deal with it. This is a concession and foreigners will come forward. It will be easier to talk." After finishing the meal, Tang Cheng, who exuded a faint smell of oil paint, didn't care that Zhou Hongzhuang was also present, and gave Zhang Jianghe some instructions. Zhang Jianghe did not say anything, just nodded lightly. answer.
Among the three people present, the only one who didn't know was Zhou Hongzhuang. Although she knew that Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe were playing riddles, Zhou Hongzhuang looked at this and that, but still didn't understand what these two people were talking about. Although they already knew that Zhou Hongzhuang was a member of the Shanghai underground party, there were some things that Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe could not say in front of Zhou Hongzhuang, such as the assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto.
It took a long time to eat dinner. If it were normal times, Zhang Jianghe would definitely be the first to put down the bowls and chopsticks, but today, Zhang Jianghe was beaten by Tang Cheng. "Uncle, don't worry. I'm not a brainless person. I'll be back in full condition in two or three days at most." Tang Cheng had already packed the things needed for the operation into his carry-on equipment bag, along with Zhang Jiang When he said goodbye, he only held a briefcase with no weight in his hand.
Zhang Jianghe didn't say much. Since Tang Cheng had already decided on this matter, he knew that even if he stopped it, he might not be able to make Tang Cheng change his decision. Patting Tang Cheng on the shoulder, Zhang Jianghe said in a deep voice, "I won't stop you because this is your own choice and decision. I just want to remind you to think about your family. If you find out If something can't be done, don't do it forcefully, so that you can keep the green hills and don't have to worry about running out of firewood."
