The situation Piero reported to Li on the phone was something Hans had never thought of beforehand. According to the ability and courage of the Korean National Salvation Army, they would never dare to attack the Japanese military hospital. But now Tekko has linked the attack on the Japanese military hospital to the Korean National Salvation Army. Hans can no longer imagine how Tekko could have such a big idea, and the Japanese Military Police Headquarters actually believed it. Judgment made by Ttech.
Hans naturally had no idea what the Japanese military police headquarters was thinking, but as more and more news spread into the concession, it became increasingly clear that the Japanese military hospital had been attacked. The situation is becoming known to more and more people who are paying attention to this matter. Among them, the most confused are the members of the Korean National Salvation Army. Their role in Shanghai is more about private fundraising rather than fighting. But why do the Japanese Just blame them for this?
Some people in the Korean National Salvation Army responded immediately, but they did not use specific military actions to express the attitude of the Korean National Salvation Army, but just dropped some leaflets in the concession at night. In the leaflets distributed by the Korean National Salvation Army in the concession, they clearly denied that the incident at the Japanese military hospital was related to the Korean National Salvation Army. However, as the Korean National Salvation Army has always resisted Japan's cruel rule, they will respond to the slander of the Japanese army in Shanghai in the near future.
As the saying goes, one stone stirs up a thousand waves. This leaflet of the Korean National Salvation Army did not achieve the effect they expected in advance. On the contrary, it was felt that the Korean National Salvation Army did not live up to its name. The concession, which was originally a bit turbulent due to the attention from all parties, unexpectedly calmed down because of this leaflet from the Korean National Salvation Army. Everyone was waiting to see what the Korean National Salvation Army's response to the Japanese army in Shanghai was in the leaflet.
"These self-righteous guys are really annoying!" Ichiro Araki didn't sleep well last night. Early in the morning, he got the leaflets dropped by the Korean National Salvation Army in the concession at night. After briefly reading the contents of the leaflets, Ichiro Araki was already very interested. The bad mood immediately became worse. He knew very well that the hospital's affairs had nothing to do with the Korean National Salvation Army, but the attitude of his superiors had already shown that everyone needed a scapegoat, and the Korean National Salvation Army was exactly the right person for this role.
For the Japanese cabinet, the Korean National Salvation Army is like a flea on an elephant. Although it is uncomfortable, it is not fatal. In this situation, it is time for the fleas to pay the price. Ichiro Araki planned to carry out a comprehensive search of Hongkou District today. The attacker who escaped from the hospital yesterday has always made him worried. If the attacker cannot be found as soon as possible, Ichiro Araki feels that he may have trouble sleeping and eating for a long time in the future.
"Captain Araki, the search for the attacker has been handed over to the Military Police Command. Your next main task is to enter the concession and find out the whereabouts of the Korean National Salvation Army. It is best to catch the Korean National Salvation Army today. "Araki Ichiro just arrived at the headquarters of THT and received a new order. Although he was very impatient, he could not disobey the orders issued by his superiors, otherwise his future promotion would be even more difficult.
Although the search for the attacker has been handed over to the Military Police Command, Ichiro Araki has not completely let go. He has always believed that the attacker who escaped from the hospital should have accomplices or responders in Hongkou District. Ichiro Araki's hunch was quite accurate. Tangcheng did have helpers in Hongkou District, but his helpers were not Japanese or Koreans, but an Italian named Mattia.
Strictly speaking, it was an accident that Tang Cheng met this Italian named Mattia, and the time could be traced back to a year ago. When Tang Cheng came to Shanghai last year, he started a crazy revenge operation because of Zhang Jianghe's ambush by Ttech. Matthias had just arrived in Shanghai at that time, and his suitcase was stolen by pickpockets on the pier as soon as he got off the ship. Matthias, who had almost all his wealth contained in that suitcase, had not even started his journey of gold mining in the East. Became a pauper.
When Tang Cheng met Matthias, this thin-skinned guy had not eaten for two days. Matthia, who had repeatedly sought help from his fellow Italians to no avail, was already in a desperate situation. Tangcheng, who happened to be passing by, became kind-hearted and not only helped Matthia drive away the gangsters who bullied him, but also specially treated Matthia to a meal. . After learning that Matthias was a skilled jeweler, Tang Cheng, who was planning to go deep into Hongkou District to cause trouble, was moved and arranged for Matthias to live in Hongkou District.
A year later, Mattia has used the funds provided by Tangcheng to not only open a jewelry store in Hongkou District, but also a store in the French Concession. In just one year, Matthias went from being desperate to being able to live without worries about food and clothing. If it were anyone else, they would definitely say that it was all the result of his own efforts. But Matthias knew that without the funds provided by Tangcheng at that time, no matter how hard he worked, he would not be able to develop the current good situation.
Tang Cheng had no intention of activating the Matthias line so early in the beginning. For a whole year, Tang Cheng did not take the initiative to contact the other party in order to hide the existence of this hidden line. Only this time, Ttech and the military police responded too quickly, and Tang Cheng had no choice but to go to Matthias for help. Mattia, who has been living in Hongkou District, is very happy for Tang Cheng's arrival. Even though Tang Cheng has explained his current situation, Mattia still expressed his willingness to provide all help to Tang Cheng.
Mattia is Italian, and during this year, he has lived in Hongkou District for a long time and has a good relationship with his neighbors and even some military police officers. The two searches organized by Tekko were both cleverly blocked by Matthias. When Ichiro Araki was in a state of distress, Tangcheng was living a good life with free choices of coffee and food here in Matthias. "Tang, don't worry, I'm absolutely safe here. I have many officer friends!"
Matthias, who announced that he was ill and needed to rest, planned to use this as an excuse to stay at home and be wary of the military police who might appear again. When asked by Tang Cheng about his life experience this year, Matthias had a completely happy expression, and he was full of joy that he could meet Tang Cheng at that time. "Matthia, your current good situation is entirely the result of your own efforts. If you were a waste that accomplished nothing, even if I gave you help at the time, the essence of success would still be your own talents and efforts."
Matthias is not good at words, but he has determined that Tang Cheng is his benefactor, and his attitude of wanting to do everything for Tang Cheng will not change. "Matthia, you don't have to do much. I just need a short rest. If things go well, I may leave here in two or three days. You don't need to change anything here. I will come back if necessary. I'm looking for you, but I hope you will be my last support!" Matthias didn't quite understand the word support that Tang Cheng said at the end, but he understood that he could finally provide help to Tang Cheng.
Only Tang Cheng himself knew about the existence of Matthias, including Hans and Zhang Jianghe. He didn't intend to tell others about Mattia, because no matter what time, he always had to hide a trump card in his hand. Tangcheng was content to hide in Matthias, but the situation in Hongkou District changed three times a day. After a comprehensive search by the gendarmerie troops again failed, the gendarmerie headquarters, which originally planned to continue to blockade Hongkou District, finally lifted the blockade.
Ichiro Araki, who was in the concession, learned that it was already lunch time when the blockade in Hongkou District was lifted. Ichiro Araki, who had no appetite, was very puzzled by the order of the Military Police Headquarters to lift the blockade, but he was humble and had no way to prevent the Military Police Headquarters from lifting the blockade of Hongkou District. There is no doubt that the attacker who escaped from the hospital will take the opportunity to escape from Hongkou District after the blockade is lifted.
Ichiro Araki's guess was right. After learning that the military police headquarters had ordered the lifting of the blockade, Tangcheng left Hongkou District immediately, under the personal escort of Matthias. After returning to the concession, Tang Cheng did not return to his residence immediately, but first went to Boss Yu's teahouse to meet him. "You are too courageous. I still want to live for a few more years. If you do something like this in the future, can you let me know in advance?" Seeing that Tang Cheng came back unscathed, Boss Yu finally felt relieved. Can breathe a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Yu, isn't this an impromptu idea?" Facing the sharp-tongued Boss Yu, Tang Cheng could only smile carefully. "I had planned everything well, but I didn't expect that the Japanese military police would react so quickly. Suddenly, several cars of people came and blocked me in the courtyard of the hospital, but there were so many of them. It’s useless, I just came back with nothing wrong!”
While hiding in Matthias' place, Tang Cheng didn't want Matthias to be in danger, so he didn't let Matthias go out to inquire for information. Now that I finally met Boss Yu, Tang Cheng had a lot of questions that needed to be answered, "Uncle Yu, when we were working at the Japanese military hospital yesterday, the scene was too chaotic and the time was too tight. I didn't even pay attention to the Japanese officers I killed. Are there any big fish? Have you received any relevant news?"
In fact, even if Tang Cheng didn't ask this question, Boss Yu would mention it later. Before Tang Chao arrived at the tea house, Boss Yu had just hung up the call from the internal line. The content of the call was about the Japanese military hospital. Death list and details. Tangcheng's attack on the Japanese military hospital was too sudden. There were more than 60 Japanese military officers hospitalized in the hospital at that time. After Tangcheng escaped from the hospital, the military police and the special high-tech department counted more than 40 people from the hospital building. There are corpses, most of which are Japanese military officers who were originally hospitalized here.
