The Chongqing Underground Party was still discussing whether the mysterious man who helped to warn was an enemy or a friend. Tang Cheng, who took the pistol of the shop owner of the oil shop at the intersection and fired a warning shot, had already appeared outside the secret stronghold of the Chongqing Underground Party. On the stall, he was leisurely eating the red oil chai shou that had just come out of the pot. Sitting at the snack stall, Tang Cheng couldn't see anything strange, and a young man of his age did look harmless.
Tang Cheng didn't look around while eating his hand. The snack stall owner who had glanced at him from time to time gradually became relieved and soon stopped paying attention to Tang Cheng. After chasing the shopkeeper of the oil shop all the way here, Tang Cheng already knew that his target was to enter the courtyard across the street, but the small food stall he stretched out at the moment was probably also a stronghold of the Chongqing underground party. The purpose may be to protect the opposite side of the street. That yard.
After finishing the bowl of red oil quickly, Tang Cheng put down a banknote and stood up to leave. In addition to the snack stalls behind him, while walking along the streets in Tangcheng, he soon discovered several suspicious places and people. Could it be that the courtyard I noticed just now is the location of an important organ of the Chongqing underground party? Seeing the suspicious people and places appearing one after another in this street, Tang Cheng's mind was filled with questions and surprises.
It was more than an hour after Tang Cheng returned to the safe house. Most of the veteran police officers who went out to perform daily surveillance tasks had also changed their first shift. "Captain, there is news coming back from the No. 3 surveillance point that the target they are monitoring has changed." After Tang Cheng came back, Zhao Dashan immediately came over with the information he had just compiled. Hearing this, Tang Cheng reached out and took the information that Zhao Dashan brought. Just after reading the content related to target No. 3, a sly smile appeared on Tang Cheng's face.
"Well done! It's this guy named Zhu. He was the one who led people to make trouble at the garrison last time. I'm wondering if he has anything else to say this time!" Target No. 3 is a newspaper editor named Zhu Daguang. When the Tangcheng United Garrison Corps carried out a crackdown in the city, this newspaper editor named Zhu Daguang actually said in the newspaper that the garrison's crackdown violated military regulations and was a disregard for human life.
Although the crackdown operation did not end hastily because of the protests of Zhu Daguang and others, it also made Wang Bingzhang and others feel as disgusting as eating a dead fly. Tangcheng sent people to secretly monitor Zhu Daguang in order to teach this troublemaker a lesson. Same guy. "Let's go and have a look!" Tang Cheng, who was suddenly interested, immediately took Zhao Dashan and a few veteran police officers to the No. 3 surveillance point. When they arrived at the No. 3 surveillance point, they found that they were originally at the No. 3 surveillance point. Of the group of veteran policemen at the surveillance point, only one person was left at the surveillance point.
"Captain, there was a woman who came looking for the target before. The two left together a quarter of an hour later. The team leader led someone to follow." When the old policeman who stayed at the surveillance point saw that Tang Cheng had brought someone over in person, he roughly described the known situation. After checking it again, he learned that the target was walking eastward with a woman, and a smile appeared on Tang Cheng's face. It seemed that Zhu Daguang couldn't bear it anymore, and there must be something wrong with the woman who came to him.
Zhu Daguang didn't know that he had been secretly monitored. At this moment, he was rushing to the place where he met people last time. The woman beside him reminded Zhu Daguang all the time, which made him feel slightly uneasy. "Mr. Zhu, what's wrong with you?" The young woman walking beside him asked softly, seemingly sensing Zhu Daguang's absence. Zhu Daguang naturally couldn't say what he was thinking, so he just hesitated and prevaricated. The young woman's brows had already frowned slightly.
Tang Cheng waited at surveillance point No. 3 for almost two hours before the old policeman who was tracking the target came back with news. "Captain, we followed the target all the way to a courtyard in the east of the city. The team leader felt that the courtyard looked suspicious. He continued to lead people to keep an eye on the courtyard. He first asked me to come back and ask someone to help." The old policeman returned to the surveillance point. Looking a little anxious, Tang Cheng didn't say much and immediately led people over.
"Captain, this Xie's house was originally the house of a timber merchant. Half a year ago, the timber merchant's family fell ill and died. Later, a man named Xie Baokun bought the house. I don't know what happened. People gradually began to spread rumors that this house is a haunted house." Tang Cheng led people to the house where the target entered. The old police team leader who stayed at the place had also obtained some information from the surroundings. Although it was not comprehensive, it was It was enough for the Tang Dynasty to make a preliminary judgment.
"Your judgment is correct. There is indeed something wrong with this house, but it is not haunted. It seems like someone is deliberately pretending to be a ghost." Tang Cheng has never believed in ghosts and gods. Even though he came to this era as a miracle, he But I don't believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world. Tang Cheng, who has watched countless criminal investigation movies and TV series in later generations, simply dismissed such market rumors, but he had his own judgment as to the reasons for the rumors.
"Pretending to be a ghost? Captain, do you mean that the rumors around here are deliberately caused by someone?" Zhao Dashan's expression looked a little strange. He couldn't figure out how Tang Cheng made a judgment so quickly, and even said so I insist that those rumors are just because someone is pretending.
"Yes, the people who spread those rumors may not know about it, but the people who created these rumors must be people in this house." Stepping on the knees of the old policeman under his command, Tang Cheng had quietly observed the yard from the wall Judging from the situation in the yard, it doesn't look like no one is staying. Since it is not an abandoned courtyard, then the rumors of a haunted house have no credibility. The only explanation is that the people in this house do not want people nearby to notice it.
Tang Cheng just looked at the courtyard from the wall for a few times, and then immediately told his veteran police officers to disperse. Since Zhu Daguang was brought to the courtyard that was called a haunted house, then this courtyard would become the new surveillance area of the investigation team. Target. Zhu Daguang stayed in this courtyard for more than three hours. When he came out again, the young woman who brought him here was nowhere to be seen, but there was an extra briefcase in Zhu Daguang's hand.
"Find a pickpocket. I want to know what is in Zhu Daguang's briefcase." Tang Cheng saw the briefcase in Zhu Daguang's hand at a glance. Judging from Zhu Daguang's movements when carrying the briefcase, the briefcase should have some weight. . A severe crackdown has made the gangsters and pickpockets in Chongqing almost disappear, but it is not difficult for the investigation team to find a pickpocket to help. Zhu Daguang carried his briefcase and walked towards his residence. Although he was very careful, he was still hit by a pickpocket hired by Zhao Dashan only two blocks away from his residence.
Zhu Daguang was very careful about the briefcase in his hand. The pickpocket Zhao Dashan found had nothing to do. The pickpocket who not only offended Zhao Dashan could only rob it hard. "Catch the thief! Someone is robbing something!" Zhu Daguang, who had his briefcase taken away, stood there stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted at the top of his lungs. There were many pedestrians on the street, but no one stood up to help Zhu Daguang stop the bag snatchers. Zhu Daguang, who knew what was in the briefcase, had to catch up by himself.
As Zhu Daguang shouted, passers-by on the street fled. The pickpocket holding the briefcase ran faster and faster. Zhu Daguang, who was already weak, chased him slower and slower. Soon, Zhu Daguang watched helplessly as he grabbed the pickpocket. The man carrying his briefcase disappeared around the corner. Zhao Dashan, who was originally worried that things would change, even changed into a police uniform in advance, but it turned out that he did not have to come forward. "Sir Zhao, this is what you want. If there is nothing else, I will leave first!"
The pickpocket who was recruited by Zhao Dashan for help carefully handed the briefcase with the gun to Zhao Dashan in the alley, accompanied by Smiley Face. "Wait!" Zhao Dashan, who took the briefcase, stopped the pickpocket who was about to leave. "Mao Jiu, when did you see me, Lao Zhao, acting dishonestly?" As he spoke, Zhao Dashan took out a few banknotes from his pocket and gave them to the other party, then made a gesture of sealing at the other party and took the banknotes. The pickpocket smiled and nodded.
Tang Cheng quickly saw the briefcase that Zhu Daguang had been carrying and nodded. Tang Cheng signaled Zhao Dashan to open the briefcase. The briefcase that Zhu Daguang took out from the yard was ordinary in style, but the things that Zhao Dashan took out from the briefcase were not ordinary. Seeing Zhao Dashan take out gold bars and oceans from the briefcase one after another, Tang Cheng secretly smacked his lips. . "Hey, this is really worth spending money on!"
There were six gold bars taken out of the briefcase, Da Yang also had 40 yuan, and there was also a gold watch. Knowing that there were no other items in the briefcase, Tang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Seal these things first and dispose of them after the case is over!" Among these items, the most valuable was the gold watch. Zhao Dashan had already transferred the gold bars He pushed it to Tang Cheng, but was rejected by Tang Cheng. "Tell someone to keep an eye on that yard carefully. I guess Zhu Daguang might go there again if he lost something."
Tang Cheng's guess was good. Zhu Daguang, who had lost his briefcase, really went to the courtyard again, but this time without the young woman, Zhu Daguang did not enter the courtyard at all. The old policemen at the surveillance point could clearly see Zhu Daguang standing outside the courtyard gate speaking and stamping his feet, but the surveillance point was a bit far away, and they did not hear what Zhu Daguang said outside the courtyard gate.
"This Zhu Daguang is just a piece of trash. Reduce the intensity of surveillance on him. Send all the manpower to the haunted house to find out what is going on in the haunted house as soon as possible!" Zhu Daguang's performance has made Tangcheng lose interest in him, but this The haunted house that suddenly appeared made Tangcheng never forget it. "Now that we have confirmed that there are people living in that yard, we should find out the details and identities of these people to avoid any trouble when we act."
