Tang Cheng voluntarily gave up the command, deliberately giving most of the credit for the operation to Zhang Jianghe. The two people who knew each other's intentions looked at each other, with a tacit understanding on their faces and a smile at the same time. All the veteran policemen in the investigation team knew about the relationship between Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe. Even though Tang Cheng voluntarily gave up command, his veteran policemen did not feel anything was wrong.

With the action team members brought by Zhang Jianghe, the problem of manpower shortage was finally alleviated. Although Zhang Jianghe's specific front-line action capabilities are not as good as Tang Cheng's, his ability to command the overall situation far exceeds Tang Cheng's. After understanding the situation in detail, Zhang Jianghe immediately made arrangements and divided the action team members he brought into several groups. They formed a mixed team with Tang Cheng's veteran police team to tightly control the area around the courtyard.

"Uncle, why don't I leave this to you, and I'll go over there and take a look!" Tang Cheng couldn't see any omissions in Zhang Jianghe's arrangement, but the more this happened, the more unsure he felt. After all, in There is another contact person who appeared in the teahouse. There were only Zhang Jiang and one person in front of him. Tang Cheng naturally said what he had to say, and the others didn't know what he said. Zhang Jianghe was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but when he realized what was happening, he didn't say anything to stop him, but just nodded in agreement.

Another team of veteran policemen under Tang Cheng had already stopped at this moment. Sanbenxinyi, who was followed by them, did not return to his residence, but went in a circle to another teahouse. After learning the current location of the other team from the tea shop, Tang Cheng immediately rushed over with Zhao Dashan, "Captain, the target we are following should not be awake, but his movement trajectory is very weird, and there is no trace of him along the way. The target was found to be acting abnormally."

Standing at the alley diagonally opposite Sanjiang Tea House, Tang Cheng listened to the report of his veteran policeman and looked at Sanjiang Tea House. Just looking at the double doors of Sanjiang Teahouse, one could tell that the teahouse was quite large. Before thinking about the subtle reminder from the old policeman, Tangcheng knew that this Sanjiang Teahouse was probably not a simple one. "Lao Fu has already brought people in, but no news has come out yet."

The old policeman who was left in the alley waiting to pick up Tang Cheng and the others had regrets in his words. Tang Cheng just frowned slightly but said nothing. Lao Fu, who is over forty years old, is the oldest police officer among the veteran policemen in Tangcheng. In the investigation team, Lao Fu is not outstanding in ability, but he handles things flawlessly. Knowing that it was Lao Fu who led people into Sanjiang Tea House, Tang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and even gave up the idea of ​​going in in person.

Tang Cheng and others waited in the alley for about half an hour before an old policeman from the investigation team slowly came out of the Sanjiang Tea House, "It's Yang Cheng!" Zhao Dashan had good eyesight and could recognize people at a glance. Yang Cheng, who came out of Sanjiang Tea House, did not go directly to the alley. Instead, he walked along the street for a while, bought a pack of cigarettes from a street cigarette seller, and then crossed the street. Street, walking towards the alley with a nonchalant expression.

"You mean, the target you are following works in this teahouse?" After Yang Cheng explained the situation, Zhao Dashan and others finally knew why Lao Fu and the others had not come out for a long time, but what Tang Cheng was thinking about at the moment was It's something else. Sichuan people love teahouses and come to teahouses to kill time, and the most important thing in a teahouse is the waiter who serves the tea and makes the tea. How did a novice from outside Sichuan gain a foothold in this teahouse?

Tangcheng's first reaction at this moment was that there was something wrong with this Sanjiang Teahouse. But in the blink of an eye, his guess seemed a bit unjustifiable. If there was something wrong with this Sanjiang Teahouse, why did the contact person go to other teahouses to talk to that one? Meeting a mysterious person? Wouldn't it be safer to meet at Sanjiang Tea House? Tang Cheng's brows slowly widened, "Immediately investigate the background of Sanjiang Teahouse. I want to know the identity and background of the owner of this teahouse, as well as the relationship between the teahouse and Brother Pao Club!"

It is said that Sichuan's Pao Ge took the lead in righteousness. Especially during the Anti-Japanese War, Pao Ge Hui also contributed its own strength. However, if there were no traitors and traitors in the Pao Ge Hui, Tang Cheng did not believe it. The old policemen guarding the alley with Tang Cheng dispersed and followed Tang Cheng's orders. Tang Cheng reached out and pulled out the pistol from Zhao Dashan's back and handed it to Yang Cheng for custody. Then he took Zhao Dashan out of the alley and headed straight for Sanjiang. Teahouse.

Sanjiang Tea House has three floors. Frequent guests usually gather in the lobby on the first floor. Only a few people go to the second floor to hold private gatherings. As for the third floor of Sanjiang Tea House, almost no one goes there. As soon as Tang Cheng and the two entered Sanjiang Teahouse, Lao Fu and others who were sitting around a mahjong table had already seen Tang Cheng and Zhao Dashan. Zhao Dashan followed Tang Cheng's previous instructions and secretly shook his head at Lao Fu and the others. The latter pretended not to know Tang Cheng and the others and just played mahjong on their own as before.

It is said that the pace of life in Sichuan is the slowest. Tangcheng, who has been frequenting teahouses and taverns these days, has a deeper understanding of this sentence. There were no loud talks in Sanjiang Teahouse, nor was it as lively as in the casino. There were just whispers or the sound of mahjong hitting the table. Occasionally, a few complaints were heard, but they were quickly suppressed by laughter. substitute. Most of the people who hang out in the teahouse are middle-aged people. Tang Cheng knows that many of these people have the identity of Brother Pao, but he doesn't know which ones are Brother Qingshui Pao and which are Brother Muddy Water.

Tang Cheng and the two sat down at a random table and casually ordered refreshments. Tang Cheng opened the newspaper he brought with him and started reading, while Zhao Dashan took his tea bowl and went to the mahjong table behind him to make a Spectators. There were also customers like Tang Cheng in the Sanjiang Teahouse who were reading newspapers. Except that Tang Cheng looked a little young, there was nothing else that attracted attention. Tang Cheng was reading a newspaper. As he flipped the newspaper, he looked around the teahouse lobby from the corner of his eye.

Yang Cheng said that they confirmed that the target was working in the Sanjiang Tea House, but Tang Cheng looked around but did not see the target at all. Just when Tang Cheng was having doubts, Zhao Dashan also realized that something was wrong because he did not see the target in the lobby. How is this going? Could it be that Lao Fu and the others misjudged the person? With questions in mind, Zhao Dashan, who had emptied his tea bowl, turned back to the table and looked up at Tangcheng with the help of pouring tea.

There was obviously some tacit understanding between Tang Cheng and Zhao Dashan. They already understood each other's meaning just by looking at each other. Tang Cheng saw that Zhao Dashan seemed to want to go to Lao Fu for questioning, so he shook his head gently at him. If Lao Fu and the others stayed in the teahouse without leaving, they should have 100% confirmed the existence of the target. Besides, Tang Cheng didn't believe that Lao Fu, who had been a police officer for more than ten years, would see the wrong person.

Lao Fu, who had been paying attention to the two people in Tang Cheng, also discovered the interaction between Zhao Dashan and Tang Cheng. Lao Fu, who understood what was going on, wanted to get up and come over and tell Tang Cheng the inside story. Just thinking of the hint in Zhao Dashan's eyes when he came in, Lao Fu had no choice but to be patient and didn't move. But when he reached out to touch the cards, his left hand that had been idle suddenly lifted up and touched his cheek.

There are several tables between Lao Fu's mahjong table and Tang Cheng, but Zhao Dashan, who is sitting facing south, can clearly see Lao Fu's movements at this moment as long as he raises his head and looks towards Lao Fu. . Lao Fu's left hand was stroking his cheek back and forth. This action seemed very ordinary, but as long as you see clearly the action of Lao Fu touching his face at this moment, you can find that only three fingers of Lao Fu's left hand are stretched out.

The three stretched out fingers now represented the third floor of Sanjiang Teahouse. Just before the two people from Tangcheng came in, Lao Fu, who was facing the direction of the stairs, watched with his own eyes as the target was called up to the third floor of the teahouse. After more than ten breaths, Lao Fu, who had been paying attention to Zhao Dashan with his peripheral vision, but had not seen Chao Dashan looking towards him for a long time, was ready to expose himself and inform Lao Fu in Tangcheng. Suddenly It was discovered that Yang Cheng, who was supposed to be guarding outside, was quickly coming in from outside the teahouse.

"Let's go out and talk!" After Yang Cheng whispered in his ear, Tang Cheng immediately stood up. When Zhao Dashan was still confused, he saw that Tang Cheng had waved his hand at Lao Fu and others to retreat. gesture. Like Zhao Dashan, Lao Fu and others were confused and left Sanjiang Teahouse one after another. After coming to the alley to meet up with Tang Cheng, Lao Fu and others finally knew that he had witnessed the goal of going up to the third floor. , a minute ago, swaggered past under Yang Cheng's nose.

At that time, Yang Cheng was the only one in the alley. No matter whether he followed immediately or rushed into the teahouse to inform Tangcheng, he could not achieve the best of both worlds, but Yang Cheng directly chose to inform Tangcheng. "Well done, call this number soon, and the Intelligence Department will send someone to help. After we figure out the background of the tea house, you and the people from the Intelligence Department will immediately take control of the Sanjiang Tea House. We must find it. That secret passage.”

Tang Cheng and others were guarding the lobby of Sanjiang Tea House, but the target unexpectedly appeared outside the tea house. This meant that Sanjiang Tea House must have a secret passage leading outside. Tang Cheng's explanation was a wake-up call for Zhao Dashan and others. If Tang Cheng hadn't told them, they wouldn't have thought about the secret passage. Yang Cheng took the order and continued to guard the alley, while Tang Cheng led Zhao Dashan and others to follow the direction pointed by Yang Cheng.

How far can an adult walk in one minute? If he were walking at full speed in Tangcheng, he might be able to cover the distance of two streets in one minute. But this is Chongqing, and when the target walked past Yang Cheng, he was not moving very fast, so the area targeted by Tangcheng was only the area two streets north of Sanjiang Tea House. Zhao Dashan and others immediately spread out in groups of two along the fork in front of the road, and searched northward along the two streets extending behind the fork.
