Tang Cheng, who was quietly hiding in a street tavern, was in a good mood and listened to the discussions of the drinkers, but he underestimated Tekko's reaction speed and methods. After receiving the news of the attack on the hospital, the Shanghai Headquarters of T&T High-tech Co., Ltd. dispatched a large number of personnel to the hospital. But before they arrived at the hospital, Tang Cheng had already taken advantage of the chaos and disguised himself as a Japanese military officer who came to the hospital for medical treatment. He attacked and killed the military police guarding the hospital door and escaped from the hospital.
The first ones to arrive at the hospital were the gendarmerie. Their combat capabilities were better than those of Utech, but their other abilities, such as tracking or finding clues, were not as good as Utech. The first batch of UHT team members who came to the hospital only saw a chaotic scene. The gendarmerie troops who blocked the hospital controlled everyone in the hospital to the open space in the yard without any care. Among them were not only the doctors and nurses of the hospital, but also the injured Japanese soldiers who were receiving treatment here.
"Divided into two teams, one team stayed here in the hospital to verify the identity of the people controlled by the military police. The other team immediately started tracking based on the clues provided by the military police. I want to know what happened to the guy who escaped from the hospital. Who is he! Hezi, call the headquarters immediately and ask for additional manpower. We may have to blockade and conduct a large-scale search of this area!" The temporary command of this ultra-high-tech team is a middle-aged man named Ichiro Araki. His niece, Araki Kazuko, was also in the team he commanded, and was standing next to him as a temporary assistant.
What Ttech is best at is identity screening and verification. Although Ichiro Araki only sent half of his men to handle this matter, there are still many military policemen in the hospital that can be borrowed. Ichiro Araki is more concerned about tracking outside the hospital. With the addition of THT, the military police who were a little confused on the street immediately seemed to have changed. Under the command of THT personnel, they implemented a segmented blockade of the area outside the hospital, and then Strict searches will be carried out one by one according to the divided areas.
Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the tavern, realized at this moment that things did not develop as he had expected, so he immediately got up and left the tavern. He must not sit still and wait for death. He knew that he was poking a hornet's nest in Tangcheng. He kept changing directions, only to find that the area he was in had been tightly blocked by the Japanese army. In desperation, Tang Cheng had to turn around and return to the street where the tavern was located. The news that the military police blocked the street had already spread by this time, but judging from the reaction of the Japanese in this street, it seemed that they did not take it seriously.
After listening carefully, Tang Cheng suddenly realized that most of the Japanese who dared to live in this street were military dependents, and many of them had children and relatives serving in the Japanese army. The Japanese army is currently on the offensive, and the military dependents living in Shanghai have naturally become angry. The military police rarely come to this street. After hearing the news, Tang Cheng immediately came up with an idea. While no one was paying attention to him, he climbed over the wall from a secret location into a courtyard.
What Tang Cheng entered at this moment was not the front yard of his residence. After all, the front yard faced the street. Even if Tang Cheng climbed over the wall in secret, he might be seen by others, so he only entered the backyard. Compared with the front yard facing the street, the small backyard is much quieter. Tangcheng quietly entered the backyard and could still faintly hear the voices coming from the residence. After his feet landed on the ground, Tang Cheng stood on tiptoes and walked in a few steps to the pile of coal cakes in the northeast corner of the yard.
Many buildings in Hongkou District have a strong Japanese style, and the same is true for the residence chosen by Tangcheng. Paying attention to the voices coming from the residence, Tang Cheng moved to the side of the coal pile and secretly activated his light body skill, quietly stepping on the coal pile and climbing up to the adjacent eaves. There are obvious differences between Japanese-style architecture and Chinese-style architecture. The eaves of Chinese-style buildings are integrated with the main body of the building, while the eaves of Japanese-style buildings are shaped like the cornices in ancient China. They extend out of the roof and are enough to hide a large living person. .
Of course, Tang Cheng could not hide under the eaves so arrogantly. Tang Cheng climbed over the coal piles to the eaves. He immediately took out the short knife from his carry-on equipment bag and pried open the wooden siding under the eaves with just a few clicks. piece. Tang Cheng used a short knife to pry open the wooden siding under the eaves, and he could see the wooden beams at a glance. Perhaps the house had been built for a long time, and the wooden beams were covered with spider webs and a thick layer of dust. Tang Cheng didn't care about this, so he covered his mouth and nose with a black scarf and got in through the hole in the wall.
Tang Cheng was squatting on the wooden beam, holding his breath and concentrating. He looked very motionless like the clay Buddha statue in the temple, but he listened carefully to the movements around him. In about a quarter of an hour, Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the lower wooden beam, heard a rapid banging on the door. Tang Cheng secretly felt energetic and slowly loaded the pistol in his right hand. The one who broke down the door was the military police responsible for searching the street. However, the results of the search made the three Japanese military police a little disappointed, because not only were there two men in this household, one of them was a colleague on vacation.
The family was having dinner, and one of them was a colleague in the gendarmerie. If the person being traced was not a fool, he would definitely not hide in such a place. The three Japanese military policemen who came to search the house just asked a few questions. After learning that the family did not find the so-called suspicious person, they said goodbye and left. Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the wooden beam at the moment, had never thought that the yard he had chosen temporarily would have a special opportunity to avoid danger.
Tang Cheng, who was holding back a smile secretly, was thankful that he had chosen not the main house, otherwise the family would have discovered it early. The military police's search on this street lasted for a long time, but unfortunately they did not find any suspicious people, and the people from Tecko did not give up, so the forced military police had no choice but to search a second time. The time was approaching and the sun was setting. Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the wooden beam, remained motionless. As long as he persisted until the sun set, he would be free.
The news that his subordinates continuously sent back made Ichiro Araki, who was in charge of the hospital at the moment, very anxious. Obviously many people saw the attacker escaping into the area on the left side of the hospital, but why couldn't he be found after two consecutive blockades and searches? Where are the traces of the attackers? The fire in the hospital had just been extinguished when Ichiro Araki ushered several trace experts from the T&T headquarters into the scene. As he watched the corpses being carried out of the building one after another, Ichiro Araki's expression was already extremely ugly.
"Captain Araki, we have preliminarily surveyed the scene. Based on the traces left at the scene and the confessions of the hospital guards, we have initially determined that the attackers started their actions from the fourth floor." The trace expert responsible for surveying the scene on the fourth floor first started from When they came out of the building, they appeared in front of Ichiro Araki, along with several twisted and deformed gun fragments and a handful of bullet casings. "Based on the analysis of these handgun fragments, the attackers should have used German-style handguns. Such German-style handguns are not available on the black market."
Hearing this, Ichiro Araki squinted his eyes and asked, "You mean, the weapons and equipment used by the attackers have nothing to do with the black market..." He only said half of the words before Ichiro Araki suddenly realized that the trace expert who just spoke wanted to What I want to express is not what I guessed. "What you mean is that the attackers did not suddenly think of this. They had planned it in advance. Those who can use the German Arms Army to kill with their hands should not be a resistance force like stragglers. Could it be that..."
Ichiro Araki was quite interested in drawing inferences at this moment. Just following the trace expert's words and thinking about it carefully, Ichiro Araki suddenly thought of the battle a few months ago. Although the Battle of Songhu had ended several months ago, if the Japanese army had not used the so-called international mediation time to secretly dispatch reinforcements from the mainland, the Japanese army that attacked Shanghai might have been driven into the sea by the Chinese army to feed the fish. Although Japan finally won the Battle of Songhu, it was only a partial victory, and the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties.
After the battle, there were not only many broken Chinese troops stranded in the concessions, but also Chinese broken troops hiding in the areas controlled by the Japanese army. At that time, there were also famous German weapon masters participating in the Battle of Songhu. Authentic German weapons like this were the weapons equipped by those German weapon master troops. If the hospital's affairs were related to the defeated troops of the Central Army stranded in Shanghai, then the problem would be huge. If the defeated Chinese troops invaded the Japanese military hospital, the responsibility of the Special High-Tech Department could not be removed in any case.
There were many corpses carried out from the hospital building. Some of them died from fire smoke, some from bullets fired at close range, and some from handgun explosions. The corpses that died from smoke and bullets at close range were still identifiable, but some of the corpses that died from explosions and fires were unrecognizable. Ichiro Araki now suspects that among these unidentifiable corpses, there may be attackers among them.
Ichiro Araki did not expect that the attacker who attacked the Japanese military hospital was alone, nor did the trace experts of the THT Department. According to their judgment, there was definitely more than one attacker. In their understanding, a single attacker would never dare to attack so many imperial soldiers rashly. Neither Ichiro Araki nor the trace experts thought about this in detail. They also believed that the attacker who escaped from the hospital in the chaos was just one of these attackers.
As Tangcheng waited patiently, night finally fell. Although the blockade had not been lifted, Tangcheng's heart had finally fallen. Under the cover of night, Tang Cheng quietly got out of the hole under the eaves. Without alerting the family in the residence, Tang Cheng quietly followed the ridge of the roof and moved to the right into another yard. In this courtyard without lights, it seems that no one is home, which is convenient for Tangcheng.
