Joseph's words at this moment made Tang Cheng almost unable to help but give a thumbs up to this guy like Grandet. The information he had revealed earlier was simply to induce Hans, but Tang Cheng did not expect that it would be Joseph who preceded Hans. This step got to the point. Tang Cheng then nodded lightly, "Yes, that's what I thought. The reason why I told you this news is because I want to check the Japanese side's reaction through you, especially the THT."
Now that Joseph had guessed the key, Tang Cheng did not continue to hide it from the other two, and directly stated his purpose. However, Hans and the two did not know about Tang Cheng's previous inducement. Hans was not stupid, and he naturally knew that if Joseph's inference turned out to be true, then the information that Tang Cheng had told the two of them before would probably be the first-hand information to support this. In a sense, he could return to Shanghai with this news, and he would have already received the credit for predicting the outbreak of war.
"Go back to Shanghai as soon as possible! I still need your help to verify the reaction from Ttech. As for the child in the house, I promise you will take care of her. However, during this period, it is best for her to stay here with Lao Yue. I There are still some trivial matters over there that have not been sorted out." Before leaving the leather goods store, Tang Cheng whispered a few words to Hans. Joseph did not react to this because he was busy secretly thinking about whether the information provided by Tang Cheng could be used in the black market. What benefits can you get for yourself?
"What the hell is this!" Tang Cheng walked slowly around the corner after leaving the leather goods store, and finally couldn't help but cursed in a low voice. He was just entrusting a child, but Hans and Joseph acted like they were spies. Just as mysterious. Fortunately, this was me. If someone else had gone through this, something might have happened. Tang Cheng, speechless in his heart, wandered on the streets. The bright lights in the streets suddenly made Tang Cheng feel like he was in a trance. In a trance, Tang Cheng felt that he fell in love with this era more and more.
When Tang Cheng returned to the Zhang family's old house, it was already dark. Zhou Hongzhuang also left food for Tang Cheng, but Zhang Jianghe's face looked a little unhappy. "The person named Cao from the Intelligence Department called. After the godfather answered the phone, he kept a straight face and said nothing." Zhou Hongzhuang, who was sitting at the dinner table with Tang Cheng, paid attention to what was being watched out of the corner of her eye. Zhang Jianghe from the newspaper then whispered to Tang Cheng about Cao Wanchun's call. She had never had a very good impression of Cao Wanchun.
"Well, it's okay. I'll just go and talk to him later!" Tang Cheng could hear the dissatisfaction in Zhou Hongzhuang's words, so he gave Zhou Hongzhuang a big smile and waited for Zhou Hongzhuang to serve himself a meal. At that time, Tang Cheng was thinking about it secretly in his heart. It was completely dark. Cao Wanchun called home. What could he do? The food cooked by Zhou Hongzhuang only tasted ordinary, but Tang Cheng was still proud to eat two bowls of rice. Zhou Hongzhuang then smiled proudly and raised her eyebrows.
"Uncle, just now Hongzhuang said that Cao Wanchun called, what's the matter? Why did he call at this time?" Zhou Hongzhuang, feeling proud, made a pot of tea for Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe, who were talking to each other at this moment He held the teacup in his arms and nestled on the sofa with almost the same movements. After eating and drinking, Tang Cheng didn't want to have any in-depth chat with Zhang Jianghe after the meal. Tang Cheng was worried that Zhang Jianghe's talk would affect his digestion after the meal, but he saw the cold look on Zhang Jianghe's face and the worry in Zhou Hongzhuang's eyes. , Tang Cheng had no choice but to hold the tea cup and sit down on the sofa opposite Zhang Jiang.
Tang Cheng deliberately imitated Zhang Jianghe's actions, and the two sat opposite each other again. Zhou Hongzhuang, who had cleared the dining table, looked at her from a distance and could only turn her head to suppress her smile. "You went out for such a walk, are you busy with something important?" Zhang Jianghe, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, just glanced at Tangcheng casually, as casually as if he were walking alone on the roadside and saw someone by chance. The indifference of a kitten and puppy made Tang Cheng immediately become angry like a cat with exploded fur.
"Uncle, what's that look in your eyes? I'm a real person, okay! Why am I looking at you? Your eyes are like seeing cats and dogs on the roadside." Tang Cheng started to show half-truths and half-falseness. , but before Zhang Jianghe could react, Zhou Hongzhuang, who was sitting at the dinner table pretending to arrange the dishes, couldn't help but finally laughed out loud, and her voice was not quiet. "Why are you smiling there? As a girl, do you know how to smile without missing your teeth? Look at you again, you can even see your back molars when you smile!"
Zhou Hongzhuang's hilarious laughter allowed Tang Cheng to avoid Zhang Jianghe's inquiry. Then, while paying attention to Zhang Jianghe from the corner of his eye, he transferred his firepower to Zhou Hongzhuang. Zhou Hongzhuang is not the kind of weak woman who lives in a boudoir and never leaves home. She was teased by Tang Cheng and gave Tang Cheng no chance to be proud. "I think you have nothing to do. What are you doing to provoke her? You deserve it!" Looking at Tang Cheng being hit by the whole package of dried vegetables coming towards him, Zhang Jianghe's poisonous tongue skills finally started to come online.
Zhou Hongzhuang threw out the whole bag of dried vegetables, smashing Tang Cheng's head full of dried vegetables and went back to the room angrily. Only Tang Cheng, Zhang Jiang and the uncle and nephew were left in the living room, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird. "Tell me, what did you do when you went out?" Zhang Jianghe was the first to break the silence. At the same time, he looked up at Tang Cheng with eyes full of scrutiny. In Zhang Jianghe's view, Tang Cheng's quiet expression at this moment , obviously there is a problem.
Tang Cheng's ability to act was better than Zhang Jianghe's, but his ability to figure out people's hearts was far behind Zhang Jianghe's. Tang Cheng didn't want to hide it from Zhang Jianghe. As long as the little girl named Alice was brought back by him, there would be no way to hide these things. "You mean, the Germans are also paying attention to the developments of the Japanese?" Tang Cheng told a lot of truths and lies, and he was picked out first, but the identities of Hans and Joseph were informed to Zhang Jiang and .
"I don't know this yet, but Hans and Joseph are indeed members of the German intelligence service. And Hans is the head of the German intelligence service in Shanghai. He suddenly appeared in Nanjing. I feel that he is definitely not picking up a small child. Girls are so simple." Hans's identity is not simple. When Tang Cheng and the others left Shanghai, they asked Hans to apply for a false identity for Zhou Hongzhuang. Zhang Jianghe only found out about this afterwards, so Tang Cheng had no way to get Zhang Jianghe's identity. Hans' identity is concealed from the front.
Since Hans' identity could not be concealed, Tang Cheng simply dragged Joseph into the water, and also mentioned Alice's matter. Sure enough, as Tang Cheng had expected, Zhang Jianghe directly ignored Alice's existence and only focused on Hans and Joseph. "They didn't tell me clearly, but from the look on Hans's face, they should have grasped some of the situation, otherwise they wouldn't have known about the intelligence agency's massive operation yesterday."
Tang Cheng personally told Hans and Joseph about the intelligence agency's massive roundup of Japanese spies yesterday. Facing Zhang Jianghe at this moment, Tang Cheng naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he blamed Hans and Joseph. "Did your friend named Hans tell you the source of their information?" Zhang Jianghe was secretly upset. Although the intelligence office's operation yesterday was not small in scale, the spread of the information should have been controlled afterwards. But it had only been a day, and the Germans already knew. Zhang Jianghe felt that there was a problem within the intelligence office.
"No, they didn't tell me this!" Tang Cheng shook his head. Seeing Zhang Jianghe looking up at him, Tang Cheng quickly put down the teacup in his hand and went to get the cigarettes and lighter on the coffee table to avoid confrontation with Zhang Jianghe. while hiding the uneasiness and guilt in his heart. Zhang Jianghe never thought that what Tang Cheng said at this moment was true or false. What he was concerned about and angry about was actually revealed by Tang Cheng to Hans and Joseph.
Seeing Zhang Jianghe going to grab the phone on the coffee table, Tang Cheng hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle, forget it! Even if you call someone to detain Hans and the others now, they will not admit the purpose of coming to Nanjing, and it is very likely that, They will also deny that they have met me. There is a German consulate in Nanjing, and with the current state of the government, we are the only ones who will be unlucky in the end. Maybe they will send Hans back to Shanghai as a gift."
Zhang Jianghe really wanted to call someone to detain Hans and Joseph, but what Tang Cheng said just now was not unreasonable. Once there was a conflict between the Intelligence Department and Hans, it would be the Intelligence Department that bowed in the end. Seeing Zhang Jianghe's angry expression with clenched teeth, Tang Cheng had no choice but to put his guess on Hans and tell Zhang Jianghe, "But Hans told me that Tekko sent so many people to infiltrate Nanjing is definitely not here to collect intelligence."
"Why not collect intelligence? Isn't Ttech an intelligence agency?" Tang Cheng said this just to temporarily divert Zhang Jianghe's attention, but Zhang Jianghe still shouted subconsciously. After shouting, Zhang Jianghe immediately fell into deep thought. Tang Cheng then secretly paid attention to Zhang Jianghe's expression. Judging from Zhang Jianghe's expression at this moment, he must have suddenly thought of something.
"Tell me again about the situation of those Japanese spies yesterday. The more detailed the better!" After thinking for a while, Zhang Jianghe asked Tang Cheng about the details and results of yesterday's arrest operation. Tang Cheng did not dare to hide anything. Not only did he clearly explain the details of the two roundups he participated in, but he also told Zhang Jianghe all the doubtful points he found on the prisoners and corpses afterwards.
"That's right. Your two German friends should have discovered something from these Japanese spies. As you said before, Tekko specially assembled a group of guys with obvious military imprints to sneak into Nanjing. It shouldn't be They came here to collect intelligence. I am more inclined to believe that this group of Japanese spies may have come specifically to create chaos. They can carry out assassinations in the city while spreading rumors in the market, and finally use the panic of the people to create chaos."
