"Uncle, what do you think this person named Xie did in Chongqing? The modified cannon has been handed over to them, why doesn't that person named Xie leave?" Another day passed, but Xie Zhonglin still had no movement, and secretly arranged manpower to monitor him. Tang Cheng finally couldn't sit still. Although the veteran policemen in the investigation team were good at getting information, they were not good at using their brains. Tang Cheng had no choice but to call Zhang Jianghe.
Zhang Jianghe expressed his relief that Tang Cheng could take the initiative to call him, which showed that Tang Cheng was not guarding against himself when doing things. "I told you a long time ago, don't pay attention to those people from Nanjing. Since the modified cannon has been given to them, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us. As for when they leave, that is up to them. Things. If you care too much about some things, you will definitely get into trouble." Zhang Jianghe did not speak very directly on the phone, but Tang Cheng had clearly understood the implications of his words.
"Okay! If that's the case, then I will continue to rest." Tang Cheng, who had already vaguely guessed something in his heart, agreed simply. In the next few days, Tang Cheng really stayed in the backyard of the military camp. Not able to move an inch. Tang Cheng hid in the military camp and could not come out, and the investigation team's actions in the city gradually decreased. Xie Zhonglin, who was bent on hiding in the dark to seize the clues, never found a chance, and the situation in Shanghai worsened further.
"Fortunately, we left Nanjing early, otherwise the headquarters would have sent people to investigate." Through old friends in Nanjing, Zhang Jiang and here will not lack news about the changes in the situation in Shanghai and Nanjing, and learned that the Shanghai defense line has been On the verge of total collapse, and when the government was preparing to defend Nanjing, Zhang Jianghe finally understood why Tang Cheng tried his best to persuade him to be transferred to Chongqing last year.
"Uncle, you think too highly of me. I would have advised you to leave Nanjing. I just wanted to find a place to live a good life away from power disputes." Tang Cheng cut the watermelon on the table with a knife, and then put the cut watermelon with a smile. Recommended to Zhang Jianghe. "Originally, I advised you to go to Wuhan or Changsha. Compared with Chongqing, both Wuhan and Changsha have geographical advantages, and the connection with Nanjing can be easily maintained. However, my mother's family is in Sichuan, and she came to Chongqing. At least my mother will feel better."
Zhang Jianghe obviously couldn't accept Tang Cheng's explanation. After receiving the news from Nanjing, Zhang Jianghe had been thinking about what Tang Cheng had persuaded him to transfer to Chongqing. Now that I think about it, there are indeed many things that don't make sense in this matter, especially the fact that Tang Cheng's original insistence made no sense at all. "Okay, let it be whatever you say!" Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't want to continue this topic, Zhang Jianghe had no choice but to give it up for now.
"I have asked someone to ask about Xie Zhonglin. It is true that Xie Zhonglin is from the Ministry of National Defense. However, this person has no real power in the Ministry of National Defense. To use your words, this Xie Zhonglin is just a mess. In the Ministry of National Defense, It's impossible for those old foxes to send such an inconspicuous little character to Chongqing suddenly for no reason. There must be some inside story that we don't know about." Throwing away the melon rind in his hand, Zhang Jianghe suddenly mentioned Xie Zhonglin, and Tang Cheng frowned He was nervous, but he didn't catch Zhang Jianghe's words.
After a moment of silence, Tang Cheng finally spoke, "Uncle, can we not mention the man named Xie? No matter what purpose or mission he came to Chongqing with, it has nothing to do with me. There will be an action on my side soon, Where is the extra time to quarrel with that Xie!" Tang Cheng didn't understand why Zhang Jianghe suddenly mentioned Xie Zhonglin, so when he answered Zhang Jianghe, he seemed very indifferent, which also made Zhang Jiang who secretly pay attention to his reaction. And, no flaws were seen.
Two days passed quickly. Under the personal command of Tang Cheng, the investigation team launched an operation in the south of the city. In just half an hour, they successfully killed and captured many Japanese spies lurking in the south of the city. "Be careful. All places where things can be hidden must be carefully searched, and don't be careless." Tang Cheng checked in the main room the items that the arrestees had not had time to destroy. More than a dozen veteran police officers involved in the operation followed the instructions. On Tang Cheng's order, all rooms in the courtyard were searched.
This operation in the south of the city should have started three days ago. The reason why Tangcheng had to postpone the operation for three days was because just moments before the operation, Tangcheng suddenly discovered that the Chongqing underground party actually had a stronghold in this street. . Tang Cheng, who was worried that Chi Yu would be harmed during the operation, had to temporarily interrupt the operation and revealed the location of the operation to Zhang Jianghe in his own way. He waited for the Chongqing underground party organization to close the stronghold in this street before Tang Cheng Take action.
"Captain, we may be a step late. The brothers only found some guns and ammunition, but not the radio or the code book." More than a dozen veteran policemen from the investigation team almost turned the entire yard upside down, but only found The radio station and code book that Tang Cheng wanted were missing. Tang Cheng didn't care about this. Even if he found the radio station and the code book, it was just the basis for asking for a reward from the Nanjing headquarters. In Tang Cheng's heart, it was far less satisfying than destroying the spy stronghold.
"Whether they are dead or alive, send them all back. Don't make this operation public yet. I have a hunch that we may be able to follow the clues and catch big fish this time." Tang Cheng held a book of poetry in his hand. He found it in a hidden compartment of a drawer. A collection of poems was hidden in a secret compartment, had been turned over many times, and had rough edges at the corners. Tang Cheng did not believe that this thing was useless.
Zhao Dashan and his party escorted the prisoners and corpses out of the small courtyard, but Zhao Dashan immediately turned back and said, "Captain, the man named Xie is outside the courtyard. Judging from his posture, he has an agenda." Zhao Dashan's words made Tang Cheng look blank. He was so stunned that he had almost forgotten about Xie Zhonglin. Why was this guy still lingering over him? Could it be that he was planning to make a fuss about himself? After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had no reason to be exploited by Xie Zhonglin, and Tang Cheng immediately felt relieved.
Xie Zhonglin was outside the courtyard. Tang Cheng felt that since he couldn't avoid him, he simply came out of the courtyard openly. "Sir Xie, what a coincidence!" Tang Cheng walked out of the yard and saw Xie Zhonglin leading people to block the path of the veteran police officer from the investigation team. Tang Cheng smiled slightly and stepped forward. "Sir Xie, what are you doing? Are you trying to rescue these people on the street if you are blocking our way?" Before Xie Zhonglin could speak, Tang Cheng slapped the other party with a big hat.
Xie Zhonglin was not stupid. He immediately recognized the trap hidden in Tang Cheng's words. He immediately glared and was about to have an attack, but was stopped in time by the people around him. "Officer Tang, look at what you said. How could we stop you, let alone rescue you on the street? We can't afford this crime." This is the first time Tang Cheng has seen the speaker, but seeing that he is wearing a With his gentle look and glasses, Tang Cheng felt that this person would be more difficult to deal with than Xie Zhonglin.
As if he sensed the caution in Tang Cheng's eyes, the man with glasses immediately smiled and said, "I am from Nanjing. I have heard about the name of Police Officer Tang for a long time. Today I saw that the name is well-deserved." Wang Qinglai looked at the gentle man and spoke. The same was true, but Tang Cheng felt more and more that this person was dangerous, especially when the other person looked at him, there was an inexplicable smell in his eyes, which made Tang Cheng feel very uncomfortable.
*** was wearing casual clothes and did not identify himself to Tang Cheng in his words, so Tang Cheng had to call him Mr. Wan when he spoke. "Mr. Wan is joking. I, Tang Cheng, am just a small police chief, and I can't live up to my reputation. If there is nothing else, we will leave first. We are busy with business, so please forgive me." Tang Cheng's answer Hearing this dryly, without waiting for the other party to answer, Tang Cheng led his men and left.
"You've seen it! They don't want to talk to you at all! Why don't they want to talk to you? It's not because you started showing off to others and ended up annoying them. If it were me, I wouldn't want to talk to you either! "Watching Tang Cheng and others leave quickly, ***, who had been smiling just now, immediately turned around and taught Xie Zhonglin a lesson. "You should be more careful in the future! Not everyone will take the initiative to give in to you. Your family's face is not easy to use here."
"Cousin, it's my fault, it's all my fault, okay!" Xie Zhonglin didn't dare to act mean in front of his wife, so he had to lower his head and admit his mistake. "But this boy named Tang does have some abilities. Judging from what I have investigated these days, this Tangcheng seems to be more interested in catching lurking Japanese spies. What do you think we will do if he rejects us? According to his family In such a situation, even if we forcefully recruit him, it will not help! After all, his father is a martyr who has won a medal!"
Xie Zhonglin's words made ***'s eyes twitch unconsciously. The situation in Tangcheng was indeed not suitable for their recruitment, and Tangcheng was not without backers in Nanjing and Chongqing. "Wait and see, wait until I find a chance to talk to him! Now the country is in danger, and personal interests can only be put last. Since his father is a martyr, he should know the truth." ***’s words are firm, but in reality he doesn’t have much confidence in his heart.
Tangcheng never knew the purpose of Xie Zhonglin's coming to Chongqing. In fact, it was not difficult to guess. The purpose of Xie Zhonglin's coming to Chongqing was to inspect Tangcheng. Although not many people knew the inside story of what Tang Cheng did in Shanghai last year, at a time when the war was going unfavorably, someone proposed an assassination plan targeting officials who had surrendered to the Japanese army. There is no shortage of assassins in the Intelligence Department, but there are not many good ones like Tang Cheng who can get in and out and escape unscathed. The purpose of Xie Zhonglin's trip to Chongqing was to recruit Tangcheng to join this plan, and *** was the main person in charge of this operation.
