Tang Cheng was hiding alone in a well-hidden cellar and was enjoying himself. However, the Special Higher Education Department and the Military Police Headquarters were already in dire straits. Counting the massacre at the izakaya some time ago, there had already been two vicious cases with great impact in Hongkou District, especially this one. Once, it was a highly targeted assassination. The Special High School Class has now concluded that Kenichi Yamamoto was the target of this emergency incident. The few military policemen who were killed or injured may have just been the unlucky ones affected by the incident.
What happened in Hongkou District was learned by interested people who were paying close attention to the matter after the military police released comprehensive martial law in Hongkou District that night. The thoughtful people who learned the inside story all secretly exclaimed that if it were them, they would not dare to do such a thing in Hongkou District, which was tightly controlled by the Japanese army. "Great, send a telegram to the Nanjing headquarters immediately, saying that the assassination operation has been completed." After receiving the report from his subordinates, Bai Zhanshan jumped up happily and immediately sent a telegram to the Nanjing headquarters. .
Bai Zhanshan did not expect that Tangcheng would take action so quickly, and that the place of action would be in Hongkou District. While excited, he suddenly felt guilty. Zhang Jianghe's previous premonition was not wrong. The reason why Bai Zhanshan anxiously contacted Tang Cheng as soon as he arrived in Shanghai was because he was the director of the department who asked Tang Cheng to participate in the assassination of Yamamoto Kenichi. Those who make suggestions in front of you. Zhang Jianghe was injured in an ambush, and Tang Cheng immediately gave up everything and rushed to Shanghai. This made Bai Zhanshan, who already regarded Tang Cheng as his subordinate, jealous.
Tang Cheng is not old, but he is very capable, especially his ability to search for Japanese spies, which makes many veterans in the Nanjing headquarters of the Intelligence Agency admire him. Bai Zhanshan originally tried his best to win over Tang Cheng, trying to make the super capable Tang Cheng help him to climb up, but he did not expect that Tang Cheng actually put forward conditions with the director on his own future, and was willing to help Zhang Jiang and Zhang Jiang who had lost power. Yes, this is something Bai Zhanshan absolutely doesn't want to see. Especially after the Shanghai Station reported the Hongkou District Izakaya operation, Bai Zhanshan was lucky enough to learn the inside story from the director. As a result, he became even more angry with Tangcheng.
Originally, he suggested to the director that Tang Cheng should also participate in the assassination of Yamamoto Kenichi. The purpose was not to put Tang Cheng in jail, but to lend timely assistance when Tang Cheng was in dire straits. With his hand, he completely pulled Tangcheng onto his ship. But he never expected that Tang Cheng would not only take action immediately, but also complete the assassination of Yamamoto Kenichi alone. Only then did Bai Zhanshan finally realize that he had underestimated Tang Cheng.
Naturally, Tang Cheng would not know that Bai Zhanshan was secretly targeting him. At this moment, he was hiding in the cellar to recuperate his energy. Although the military police had released the blockade of Hongkou District, Tang Cheng did not want to leave immediately. Tang Cheng was deaf to what was going on outside the window at the moment. This was obviously not his intention. Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the cellar, did not dare to go out rashly. After all, this was Hongkou District. As long as he made the slightest mistake, he might be trapped by a large number of people. In the situation where the Japanese army is pursuing.
So Tangcheng chose to wait and see what happens. In short, the assassination of Yamamoto Kenichi has ended. Now he has a lot of time to waste. On the contrary, the Special High School and the Military Police Headquarters are as impatient as ants beside a frying pan. . Nearly 20 hours have passed since the assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto. After inspection and verification by the trace experts of the Special High School, the bullet casings found at the scene were definitely shot from the barrel of a gun. The Special High School judged from this that the murderer was probably alone. As for how the murderer managed to move quickly between two shooting positions, one can only ask God.
Kuroteng couldn't swallow the rebuke he received for his previous inference. When everyone was at a loss, Kuroteng led a group of his men back to the scene of the incident for a second investigation. Heiteng, who seemed to have suddenly enlightened, did not just waste time wandering around the street entrance like before. Instead, he sent his team members according to his own ideas and assigned people to go up to the rooftop of the cinema and to the left side of the street entrance. Then use your watch to strictly calculate the time it takes for your men to move quickly at these two locations.
After several repeated deductions and tests and calculations, Heiteng and others finally came to the conclusion that if the murderer was alone, as long as he was fast enough, he could move quickly between these two locations. In particular, Kuroteng and others also found half a rope that had been burned by fire in the back alley of the cinema. The rope that had been burned by the fire and only had half of it left gave Kuroteng a great clue. After careful investigation, Kuroteng and others found traces of the rope hanging on the rooftop of the cinema.
"There is nothing wrong with that. The murderer should have been on the rooftop. He shot at Colonel Yamamoto's car first, and then discovered that a military police patrol appeared. The murderer then gave up and continued shooting, and instead used the rope that had been prepared from here. We slid down to the back alley of the movie theater." Traces of fixed ropes were found on the edge of the rooftop of the movie theater, which gave Kurotou basis for his speculation, and most of Kurotou's team members agreed with his view.
Kuroteng and others followed the back alley of the cinema and quickly calculated a route to the building on the left side of the street. After several field tests, Kuroteng and others discovered that if the murderer left the back alley of the cinema, By riding a bicycle, you can quickly rush to the roof of the building maintenance building on the left side of the street intersection to set up a second shooting point. After all, Hongkou District is an area controlled by the Japanese army, and most of the people living here are Japanese expatriates. The anxious Kuroteng directly used the stupid method of questioning one by one. Soon, they had several clues that were not very clear. .
The focus of questioning by Kuroteng and others was the residents and merchants living near the cinema. The first clue that Kuroteng paid attention to came from a nearby merchant. According to his recollection, before hearing the explosion, he saw To a man riding a bicycle out of the back alley of a movie theater. Just because he just glanced at him casually at that time, he didn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but he still remembered what the other person was wearing, especially the gray peaked cap on his head.
Although the merchant could not tell the person's appearance, Kuroteng felt that the gray peaked cap was a good clue. Soon, Kuroteng's men found many gray caps of different styles. After careful identification by the merchant, Kuroteng Fuji's men took the recognized gray peaked caps and went to several checkpoints to question the military police and police on duty. Peaked caps are not uncommon in Hongkou District, but there are not many gray ones. Several checkpoints that received the notice began to pay attention to suspicious people wearing peaked caps entering and exiting Hongkou District.
Having already got the first clue, Heiteng did not stop the pursuit. They followed the back alley of the movie theater and pursued the building on the left side of the street intersection. As a result, they found the old bicycle abandoned by Tangcheng. . The bicycle that may have been used by the murderer was found. This major discovery made Kuroteng and others feel elated. It also surprised and surprised others in the special high school class.
With this major discovery, Kuroto regained the initiative to solve the case, and he also had many more people under his command who could be deployed at will, including two military police patrols. The continuous discoveries made Kuroto full of confidence, but he was also disappointed because they found too many fingerprints on this bicycle. Just checking these fingerprints would require a lot of manpower and time. For Heiteng, who is eager to prove himself, time is the last thing to waste, and the two clues he discovered one after another seem to be very time-consuming to get the results of the investigation.
But Kuroteng was already on the verge of being reprimanded by his boss, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the investigation, even though he had no other clues available. While Kuroteng and his gang were investigating, the intelligence system of the Special High School Division also began to exert its power and effect. After confirming that the murderer might be a single person, the Special High School Division's personnel in the black market in the concession immediately began to collect relevant intelligence. , launched an investigation into those gun masters active in the concession.
As time went by, a large number of clues and intelligence gathered from the concession were eliminated one by one. The so-called gun masters in the concession were too different from the targets that the special high school was looking for. Unable to find anyone using the gun, the Special High School had no choice but to do the next best thing and start tracing the source of the weapons from the black market. However, Mauser rifles are sold in large quantities in China, and the Special High School people did not find much in the black market. Useful information.
The actions of the Special High School in the black market immediately aroused the alert of arms dealers like Hans. With the previous rumor, Hans immediately made a judgment, and he immediately thought of Tangcheng. Hans had not really seen Tang Cheng's marksmanship, but he knew that Tang Cheng was a master of action. The operation to eliminate the British arms dealer Henry was the best proof. Especially when Hans called and was told that Tang Cheng had temporarily gone to Suzhou for business, Hans strengthened his judgment.
Tang Cheng had already discussed it with Zhang Jianghe before he left his residence, assuming that he was going to other places for business. However, Tang Cheng did not expect that Hans did not need any so-called evidence to determine that this matter was related to him. Humph, let’s see how you explain it to me when you come back! After learning that Tang Cheng was not at his residence, Hans couldn’t help but secretly laugh when he hung up the phone, thinking that he had another handle on Tang Cheng.
Naturally, Tang Cheng would not know at this moment. Hans had already guessed that the matter was related to him. In fact, even if Hans stood in front of him and identified it, Tang Cheng would not care. According to the agreement between Tang Cheng and the director of Nanjing, all the things he promised have been basically completed. As long as Zhang Jianghe recovers from his injuries to the point where he can move long distances, it will be time to return to Nanjing. By that time, even if Hans wants to If you want to control yourself, I'm afraid you won't have a chance.
