Outside the bathroom door, Tang Cheng lit two sticks of incense and slowly stretched them in through the cracks in the two bathroom doors. Then he quietly retreated and squatted quietly in the shadows, waiting. In just a dozen breaths, the large bathroom became quiet, and the original laughter of the guys seemed to have never appeared. The small bathroom that Shopkeeper Yang enjoyed alone was also quiet. Tang Cheng immediately stood up, pressed against the door of the small bathroom, inserted a short knife into the crack of the door and opened the latch.
There are oil lamps lit on the east and west walls of the small bathroom. This makes the small bathroom, which is not very large, as bright as daylight. However, the shirtless shopkeeper Yang is lying face down on the floor. On the table next to the wall, there was still a wine glass with some remaining wine in his right hand. The smoke that Tang Cheng drew from the system was very effective. Shopkeeper Yang, who was fascinated by the smoke, seemed to be sleeping normally at this moment. When Tang Cheng closed the door of the small bathroom and turned around, he even saw lying down Shopkeeper Yang on the table was clicking his lips unconsciously.
Seeing this, Tang Cheng just grinned, then stepped forward and began to examine Shopkeeper Yang's hands. Under the light of two oil lamps, Tang Cheng carefully examined the opponent's two palms. People who often use swords and guns will definitely leave marks on their hands, just like people who often practice boxing will leave boxing calluses on the back of their fists. Shopkeeper Yang's hands were very soft, and he didn't look like someone who had used swords and guns. Moreover, Tang Cheng also found marks on the tips of the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the opponent's right hand that he often fiddled with the abacus.
Could it be that I thought wrongly? All signs showed that this shopkeeper Yang seemed to be just an ordinary person. Tang Cheng began to doubt his previous inferences. However, Tang Cheng was not a person accustomed to doubting himself, so he checked the soles of shopkeeper Yang's feet again, but still found nothing. Perhaps there was only one last option left. There was no sign of excessive toe gaps on the soles of shopkeeper Yang's feet. Tang Cheng, who was not ready to give up, had to use his last resort.
The gun pistol taken out from the carry-on equipment bag has been equipped with a gun. The fingertips of his right hand pinched the philtrum point under Shopkeeper Yang's nose hard. He gasped like a dead fish and his eyelids trembled slightly. When he slowly opened it, Tang Cheng, whose face was covered with a black scarf, deliberately pulled the gun in front of the opponent to complete the steps of pushing and loading the bullet. "Shut up and don't shout. Just answer me whatever I ask." Shopkeeper Yang, who had just woken up, had not seen the situation clearly before his mouth and eyes were covered by Tang Cheng's left hand, and his forehead was also covered by Tang Cheng's left hand. Tang Cheng held it back with the barrel of his gun.
Shopkeeper Yang, who seemed to have not figured out the situation, began to struggle. Tang Cheng had to let go of his right hand so that the other party could see clearly what object was on his head. Only then did shopkeeper Yang finally calm down. "What's your name? Where is your hometown? Who else is there at home?" Tang Cheng deliberately lowered his voice and asked shopkeeper Yang one after another in his ear. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Tang Cheng repeated the questions again.
Shopkeeper Yang, who had gradually regained consciousness, finally stopped struggling after seeing clearly that what was pressed against his head was a pistol. The questions that Tang Cheng asked one after another sounded very ordinary, but they were things that Tang Cheng had thought about over and over again when he broke into the small bathroom. Once the other party starts to answer these questions, relevant memory fluctuations will naturally appear in the brain. At this moment, Tang Cheng, who has his right hand stuck on the other party's neck, can copy the relevant memory fragments from the other party's brain.
It only took a short time to answer these questions from Tang Cheng, so after a dozen breaths, Tang Cheng copied the first fifteen-second memory fragment from the other party. "Very good, that's it. Let's take a break first and start the next round of questions and answers immediately." Tang Cheng, whose face was covered with a black scarf, moved his steps and moved his body from facing the other party to behind him. It was only a fifteen-second memory fragment. Tang Cheng quickly browsed through it. Although he didn't find much, Tang Cheng was now certain that Shopkeeper Yang was definitely not Japanese.
The scenes shown in the memory fragments copied from Tangcheng all have obvious Chinese characteristics, and several figures who appear in the fragment scenes are also dressed as Chinese. The white cloth wrapped around the head is only seen in the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan areas. in this way. It seems that I really made a mistake! After quickly browsing the first memory fragment, Tang Cheng suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart, but he immediately suppressed the guilt and asked a new question in a low voice.
"Who are you? Intelligence Department? Central Command or underground party?" Tang Cheng whispered these units one after another. The left hand that was originally resting on the other party's shoulder also moved up to rest on the other party's neck. When Tang Cheng contacted the other party and mentioned the Intelligence Department and the Central Government, there was no response from the other party. However, when the word "underground party" was mentioned at the end, Tang Cheng put his left hand on the other party's neck and clearly felt that the other party's body stiffened. for a moment, but soon relaxed.
Ha, now I can catch your little tail! The other party's fleeting strange reaction made Tang Cheng chuckle in his heart. He took the opportunity to activate his memory copying skill and began to copy the second memory fragment from the other party's consciousness. Facts have proved that Tang Cheng was right not to give up. Although Shopkeeper Yang, who was held to the head by Tang Cheng with a pistol, repeatedly stated that he was just a hotel manager, Tang Cheng learned from the second copied memory fragment that The other party’s true identity.
Tang Cheng had long known that there was an underground party organization in Chongqing, but during this period, he was busy helping Zhang Jianghe to open up the situation, and Tang Cheng had no time to take care of other things. He never expected that just a night exploration operation would lead to such a harvest. In the second memory fragment copied from Tangcheng, the true identity of shopkeeper Yang has been completely revealed to Tangcheng. The real name of this person is Yang Jiuyuan. On the surface, he is the shopkeeper of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, but in fact he is the underground manager of Chongqing. The leader of a liaison group within the party organization.
The liaison group that Yang Jiuyuan is responsible for does not have direct contact with other people in the Chongqing underground party organization. Tangcheng speculates that such an arrangement should be a precautionary decision by the Chongqing underground party organization. Now that it was confirmed that the other party was not a Japanese spy, Tang Cheng's tense nerves relaxed. However, the muzzle of the gun against the other party's head was not lowered, because Tang Cheng could not reveal his identity at this moment.
Zhang Jianghe has only just established his footing and has not yet truly taken charge of the Chongqing station. Tangcheng does not want to cause trouble at this time, so Tangcheng has no interest in exploring the entire underground party organization in Chongqing at this moment. Yang Jiuyuan was also guessing the identity of the masked man at this moment. First of all, he ruled out the possibility of bandits, because Tang Cheng had not asked about financial issues since he entered the door. Even the gold ring worn on the little finger of Yang Jiuyuan's right hand, They didn't even take a second look.
If they are not robbers, is it possible that they are plainclothes officers from the military and police departments? But the military and police units in Chongqing have always turned a blind eye to the existence of the underground party. After excluding the robbers and plainclothes soldiers and police, Yang Jiuyuan's mind was in chaos. He really couldn't figure out who the other party could be. But one thing Yang Jiuyuan was sure of was that the masked man must be an expert in breaking doors, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to control him without his knowledge.
Tang Cheng didn't know Yang Jiuyuan's psychological activities at this moment, because he didn't want to waste the last memory copying skill on Yang Jiuyuan today. Now that the possibility of the other party being a Japanese spy has been ruled out, the next thing Tang Cheng needs to worry about is how to leave. Because his identity cannot be revealed, when Tang Cheng leaves, he needs to do the same without any flaws.
After pondering for a while, Tang Cheng's left hand placed on Yang Jiuyuan's neck suddenly exerted force. He only felt a pain in the back of his neck. Unprepared, Yang Jiuyuan's eyes darkened. He leaned forward and lay on the table again and fell into coma. The effectiveness of the system's incense is only thirty minutes. Even if the person who is intoxicated is not awakened by unconventional means, they will wake up automatically when the time is up. At this moment, Yang Jiuyuan was knocked unconscious by Tang Cheng's use of brute force. According to Tang Cheng's estimation, Yang Jiuyuan could wake up in just one cigarette.
Yang Jiuyuan was stunned by his sudden exertion. Tang Cheng tore open the cigarette case on the table, dipped his chopsticks in the vegetable soup and left a few words for Yang Jiuyuan, and then quietly left the small bathroom. When Yang Jiuyuan woke up, Tang Cheng had already left the Grand Hyatt Hotel under the cover of night. After regaining consciousness, Yang Jiuyuan saw the note left by Tang Cheng, and all kinds of speculations came to his mind.
All those who dare to sacrifice everything for their beliefs are always worthy of respect? These were the original words on the note that Tang Cheng left to Yang Jiuyuan. Yang Jiuyuan read the note many times, but still couldn't figure out what the masked man who left the note meant. People who can say such a sentence can be considered to sympathize with the underground party, or they can be regarded as fellow travelers of the underground party. However, when Yang Jiuyuan looked back at the various behaviors of the masked man after breaking into the small bathroom, it seemed that the word "fellow travelers" did not match at all. side.
Tang Cheng appeared suddenly and left equally suddenly. It was because of this suddenness that Yang Jiuyuan was very annoyed, because after repeated thinking, he could not determine the identity of the other party. He has been working at the Grand Hyatt Hotel for many years. With the help of his identity as the owner of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Yang Jiuyuan thought that he was very good at lurking. At least so far, there is no possibility of Yang Jiuyuan being exposed. However, the appearance of this masked man put Yang Jiuyuan under great pressure. A master who came and went without a trace and was not a thief gave Yang Jiuyuan a strong sense of crisis.
Just when Yang Jiuyuan came up with the idea of evacuating, another piece of paper with writing on it was found on the bedside of his residence, making Yang Jiuyuan even more frightened. "Stay well at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Maybe there will be a possibility of cooperation between us in the future. If you choose to leave, I will deal with your mysterious friends, such as the owner and waiter of the deli across the street." The note read. The content shocked Yang Jiuyuan, because the owner and waiter of the deli across the street were both members of his contact group.
