"Go and find out immediately if something happened in the concession today." Tang Cheng called Xu Huanshan as a kind reminder, but Xu Huanshan had to treat it with caution. After hanging up the phone, he immediately sent someone out to inquire about the news. The people sent out to inquire for information went out quickly and came back quickly. They fired guns and used handguns in the concession. This is not a small matter. There has been a lot of rumors outside, that is, they have been at the contact point and have not left the house. Xu Huanshan and the others didn't know yet.
Another group of high-tech people died in the concession. Hearing the news, Xu Huanshan was shocked. He once again became very interested in Tangcheng. If Xu Huanshan remembered correctly, Tang Cheng seemed to have met him only after breakfast, and when Tang Cheng left here, it was already close to lunch time. How on earth did Tangcheng kill an entire team of special high-tech personnel in such a short period of time? Xu Huanshan was full of questions.
Tang Cheng just called Xu Huanshan and asked him to send someone to pick up the man and woman in the apartment building. If the two did not have a face-to-face confidential conversation, these questions in Xu Huanshan's mind would not be answered, and Tang Cheng might not be able to Tell Xu Huanshan the truth. At this moment, Tang Cheng, who was waiting outside the Japanese military checkpoint, looked dull, but in fact, he was mentally calculating the direction and steps of his actions after entering Hongkou District.
Tang Cheng always carried three fake identity documents and related documents in his carry-on bag. The one Tang Cheng used to enter and exit Hongkou District several times was an identity document for overseas Chinese in China. The other two identification documents were the Shanghai High-Tech ID and the ID of Kyoto, Japan. Before taking action, Tang Cheng had already thought about his identity to the extreme. When it was Tangcheng's turn, he, like other Japanese expatriates preparing to pass the checkpoint, took out his ID and handed it to the Japanese military police at the checkpoint.
Several of Tang Cheng's identity documents were forged perfectly, unless the Japanese military police at the checkpoint would contact other departments to investigate and verify the false identities used by Tang Cheng. Every day, hundreds of Japanese expatriates enter and leave Hongkou District through checkpoints. It is impossible for the Japanese military police guarding the checkpoints to investigate and check every person who passes through the checkpoints. Therefore, the Japanese soldiers who showed their identities only took a cursory glance at them. He waved his hand to signal Tangcheng to pass.
Tang Cheng, who looked calm, passed the checkpoint, walked forward with the flow of people at a street intersection, and quickly disappeared into the crowd. This was not the first time that Tang Cheng came to Hongkou District. He had stayed overnight in Hongkou District several times before, so he did not choose to go to a hotel that he was familiar with. Instead, he found a small hotel that he had never been to before. All afternoon until nightfall, Tang Cheng kept walking around Hongkou District. The ones that caught his attention the most were the izakayas in Hongkou District that seemed to be doing good business.
The Japanese Army in Shanghai had an agreement with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Concession. Soldiers of the Japanese Army in Shanghai, whether in military uniforms or civilian clothes, were not allowed to enter the Concession without any reason. So when night falls, many izakayas in Hongkou District are crowded with Japanese soldiers who come here to kill time. Some of the izakayas in secret locations are frequented by many Japanese military officers. Tang Cheng secretly observed these izakayas in Hongkou District in order to find out where Japanese officers frequented. In his opinion, assassinating ordinary soldiers was far less cost-effective than assassinating officers.
Especially in Tangcheng's lottery system, it seems that after killing Japanese officers, the lottery opportunities obtained can always draw good things. As night fell, Tang Cheng, whose legs were sore and numb, finally stopped. He chose to enter a tavern on the street to have his dinner. After Tang Cheng entered the tavern, he suddenly realized that his temporary decision seemed a bit unreliable, because there were three Japanese soldiers sitting around the table in the corner of the tavern.
Hongkou District is an area controlled by the Japanese army. It is not surprising to see daily reports here. But meeting three Japanese soldiers at such a close distance in a tavern, Tangcheng still couldn't help but feel subconsciously vigilant. stand up. With vigilance in my heart, when I look at people, my eyes will show it subconsciously. These three Japanese soldiers were obviously not new recruits. When Tang Cheng looked at them, one of the Japanese soldiers also happened to look up at Tang Cheng, and their eyes met.
Tang Cheng remained calm and did not turn around to leave. Instead, he found a table to sit down and asked for the same water as everyone else in the tavern. The Japanese soldier who met Tang Cheng's eyes secretly frowned. Soldiers who have been with military camp weapons all year round, especially veterans who have experienced the test of life and death in blood and fire, are unusually alert to danger and strangeness. This suspicious face This is the situation among the Japanese soldiers at the moment.
Tang Cheng, who pretended to be nonchalant, did not choose to turn his back to the three Japanese soldiers. Instead, he faced the three from the side, just enough to allow the suspicious Japanese soldier to see his every move. After staring at Tang Cheng for a while, and seeing that Tang Cheng behaved just like everyone else in the tavern, the doubtful Japanese soldier finally got rid of his doubts. The other party no longer stared at him, and Tang Cheng, whose body was stiff, was secretly relieved.
This meal made Tang Cheng very miserable. He had to pretend as if nothing had happened, but also secretly speeded up his meal without being noticed. After finally finishing the water he asked for, Tang Cheng felt that his back had popped out. A layer of cold sweat came on. The three Japanese soldiers sitting in the corner of the tavern had already left, but Tang Cheng still did not dare to take it lightly. Being in Hongkou District, he always reminded himself to be careful.
Tang Cheng almost disappeared after finishing his meal. Seeing that it was getting darker and darker outside the tavern, Tang Cheng got up and left the tavern. After dark, there were far fewer people wandering outside. Among the subsequent waves of people Tangcheng encountered, more than half were Japanese soldiers in military uniforms. After being laid off from duty, the Japanese officers and soldiers looked no different from ordinary people if they had not drank. As long as they drank, they became another person.
Tang Cheng followed the route he had checked in the afternoon and moved all the way along the street to an izakaya called Sakura Hall. All the people coming in and out of Sakura Hall at this moment were Japanese military officers wearing military uniforms. Tang Cheng even saw a major officer. Standing in the shadow in the distance, Tang Cheng waited patiently. He was waiting for a target similar in size to himself to appear. Tang Cheng didn't wait very long when two Japanese officers walked over from the street behind him. Looking at the rank marks on their collars, they both had the rank of second lieutenant.
Tang Cheng immediately unscrewed the wine bottle in his hand, poured some wine on himself, then staggered towards the two Japanese second lieutenants. Tang Cheng pretended to be a drunk man. Although he met the two Japanese second lieutenants, he did not attract any special attention from them. Because there are many drunkards like this in Hongkou District after dark, especially near the izakaya, and they have seen too many of them.
Tang Cheng pretended to be very similar. Not only did he stagger, but he also smelled of alcohol. Just when Tang Cheng passed by the two Japanese lieutenants, Tang Cheng, who was holding his knees and looking like he was about to vomit, suddenly straightened up and slashed the back of the neck of the officer on the left with his right hand. A cold light flashed in his left hand and quickly penetrated the back of another Japanese second lieutenant. Two Japanese second lieutenants were killed in an instant and the other was injured. The dead one was stabbed into the heart from the back with a short knife, while the surviving one was already in a coma.
Tang Cheng took back the dagger, and then dragged the two Japanese second lieutenants one by one into the alley on the street. When Tang Cheng came out of the alley, he was already wearing the uniform of a Japanese second lieutenant. Standing at the entrance of the alley, Tang Cheng made a movement to expand his chest. He was still a little uncomfortable with this military uniform. After twisting his waist from side to side, he raised his legs and walked towards the Sakura Pavilion at the end of the street. Sakura Pavilion's business was very good tonight. Not only was the private room upstairs full, but most of the seats downstairs were also filled with guests.
The owner of the Sakura Pavilion is a Japanese woman named Zuo Liyingzi. It is said that she has a sworn relationship with a colonel of the Japanese Military Police Headquarters. Therefore, the Japanese officers who come in and out of here generally do not dare to drink and cause trouble here. When the business of the izakaya is good, Zuo Liyingzi will be in a good mood. When Tang Cheng, pretending to be a Japanese military officer, walked into the Sakura Pavilion, Zuo Liyingzi was coming out of a private room on the second floor smelling of alcohol.
Zuo Liyingzi, who was originally a bartender, never shied away from people discussing her background in private, and every time a regular customer came to the Sakura Pavilion, Zuo Liyingzi, as the boss, would take the initiative to give her a bottle of wine. Sometimes He will also take the initiative to have a few drinks with regular customers. But tonight, Zuo Liyingzi was disgusted by the guests in the private room behind her. If there were not two regular customers in the private room behind her who often come to Sakura Pavilion, Zuo Liyingzi might have smashed the restaurant with a wine bottle. The human brain.
After being helped out of the private room by the cook in the store, Zuo Liyingzi, who had just looked at the drunken girl, immediately regained consciousness, but her expression was still ugly. Perhaps subconsciously, Zuo Liyingzi held on to the railing on the second floor and looked down, just in time to see Tang Cheng entering the Sakura Pavilion from the outside. Although Tang Cheng had put on a facial disguise and was still wearing a Japanese military uniform, Zuo Liyingzi overlapped Tang Cheng's walking figure with a back figure in her mind.
The back figure that has always been deeply etched in Zuo Liyingzi's mind has been a year since now, but Zuo Liyingzi can still think of what happened that night a year ago from time to time. An entire izakaya guest was actually killed by one person. Sakurako Zuorachi, who was also at the izakaya that night, luckily escaped death. Although she did not see the murderer's face, she firmly remembered the murderer leaving the izakaya. The back view of the time. At this moment, Zuo Liyingzi, who was on the second floor, was already stiff and at a loss, while Tang Cheng had already sat down downstairs.
