Within one day, two murders involving shootings in the street occurred in the concession. Although the victims were not well-known figures, as the case was investigated, the concession patrol room suddenly discovered that they had no investigation on hand. What available clues are coming. The superiors of the Concession Patrol Office and the Ministry of Industry Bureau were very dissatisfied with the investigation of the case. Tang Cheng, who had completed the two assassinations, was also very dissatisfied.
"Uncle Yu, can you tell the headquarters that little guys like Cao Manjiang will stop attacking me? I thought these two were unobstructed figures. Before taking action, I I also spent a lot of time planning the action steps. Unexpectedly, it only took 2 hours to get together, Cao Manjiang and the guy named Zhao, I easily solved them!"
Tang Cheng knew that the intelligence agency headquarters wanted to assassinate Cao Manjiang and the traitorous businessman named Zhao. There was an inside story that he could not imagine, but he did not want to know the so-called inside story. Therefore, when Tang Cheng called Boss Yu afterwards, he deliberately put on such a conceited face, believing that Boss Yu would definitely understand his attitude with his shrewdness. In fact, Boss Yu did not expect that Tang Cheng's actions would be so swift and violent, and that he had already solved the first two targets in such a short time.
As for Tang Cheng's thoughts, Boss Yu didn't hear it because Boss Yu didn't want to delve into the deeper inside story. People who do intelligence work never like to get too involved in getting to the bottom of things, because they believe in an iron law: the more they know, the faster they will die. "Stop talking to me about useless things! It's best not to go out these days! You'll be busy again in a few days!" Boss Yu laughed and cursed on the other end of the phone, and then reminded Tang Cheng that in a few days, that island will be The day Sichuan came to Shanghai.
The profound meaning of Boss Yu's words was clearly understood by Tang Cheng. Although the information provided by the Intelligence Division headquarters was less, Tang Cheng did not care. "Uncle Yu, don't worry, as long as a person lives in this world, he will always leave traces! As long as that Shimakawa comes to Shanghai, he can't always hide and not show up. As long as he shows up, I can find him Him." Tang Cheng was not on the phone and made his words too obvious, but the meaning was fully expressed.
After having this phone call with Boss Yu, in the next two days, Tang Cheng only traveled between his residence and Hans's restaurant. Since Boss Yu was unable to do anything, Tang Cheng wanted to make sure that after Shimakawa came to Shanghai To find a foothold, he could only turn to his old friend Hans for help. With Hans' help, Tang Cheng finally got a copy of Shimakawa's schedule from the Japanese Military Police Headquarters the day before he came to Shanghai.
From this schedule prepared by the Japanese military police headquarters, it is not difficult for Tangcheng to come to the conclusion that Shimakawa came to Shanghai with a secret mission. In this seven-day schedule, there will not be two consecutive days. A gap of days. The order given to him by the Intelligence Division headquarters was to assassinate someone else's intelligence expert named Shimakawa in Shanghai. Therefore, even if Tang Cheng saw something unusual in this schedule, he did not inform Boss Yu.
Shimakawa came to Shanghai on a Japanese Navy warship. It was impossible to do anything at the dock, so after getting the schedule in Tangcheng, he secretly planned to sneak into Hongkou District again. The itinerary arranged by the Japanese Military Police Headquarters for Shimakawa was basically within the Japanese-controlled area. His stop was also arranged at the newly reopened New Asia Hotel, and when entering and leaving the New Asia Hotel, Shimakawa would be close to him. With a team of plainclothes military police.
It is quite difficult to assassinate such a target. Only by sneaking into Hongkou District can you find a chance. But it turns out that Tang Cheng's plan to sneak into Hongkou District in advance is also very difficult. Because of his last attack on the Japanese military hospital, Hongkou District's current interrogation is much stricter. Not only were there a lot of Japanese police on the streets, but there were also plainclothes military police and agents. They were keeping an eye out for suspicious people on the streets. Tang Cheng had been stopped several times to check his documents after only two hours in Hongkou District. .
Tang Cheng had not thought of such a situation beforehand, so he made a prompt decision and immediately gave up his previous idea. "Tang, you are too impatient! The Shimakawa you are looking for must not be an ordinary person!" In the restaurant's office, Hans, who learned about this, spoke to comfort Tang Cheng. "At times like this, you need to be more calm. To use an old Chinese saying, acting too hastily will cause problems." Hans' words did not calm Tang Cheng's mood, because he did not listen to Hans at all. What are you saying.
This Shimakawa also has other tasks, and he will not stay in Shanghai for a long time. If he cannot kill this guy in Shanghai, he may completely lose the opportunity. Tang Cheng's mind was very confused at the moment, but he didn't have a clue. After returning to his residence, Tang Cheng, who was alone in the study, began to clean his gun as usual. It was not until he was about to go to bed that Tang Cheng finally thought of something. The solution.
"The current situation in Hongkou District is very bad. I tried to sneak in and take a look yesterday, but in less than two hours, the police and plainclothes military police checked my documents continuously." Tangcheng didn't sleep well all night. He went to see Boss Yu early the next morning. His new plan needed to be approved by the Intelligence Division headquarters through Boss Yu. "The Xinya Hotel is also heavily guarded. Even if I can sneak in and find a chance to take action, I'm afraid I won't be able to evacuate afterward."
"According to the schedule from the Japanese Military Police Headquarters, Shimakawa will not stay in Shanghai for long, so I was wondering if I could find out where Shimakawa went after he left Shanghai, and then I would find an opportunity to wait until he left. We'll do it after Shanghai." Tang Cheng's explanation made Boss Yu's eyes light up. If the Shima River cannot be solved in Shanghai, Tang Cheng's idea at the moment is not bad. After the target leaves Shanghai, his vigilance will definitely relax.
By this time, Boss Yu had understood that Tang Cheng was here to seek help, so he had to immediately call the Intelligence Division headquarters and try to collect relevant intelligence through the Shanghai Station. The existence of Tangcheng is already considered highly confidential in the Intelligence Division headquarters. After receiving an emergency telegram from Boss Yu, the Intelligence Division headquarters responded quickly. The chief of staff at the headquarters did not agree to Boss Yu contacting the Shanghai station. Require. "Headquarters does not agree to use the channels of the Shanghai Station to collect intelligence! But the headquarters agrees that you act in camera, even if the operation fails, it will be fine!"
The so-called camera operation meant that Tang Cheng had to take matters into his own hands, but Tang Cheng didn't believe the last sentence in the telegram. If the assassination failed, he would definitely face troubles. Another day passed, and early the next morning, Tang Cheng went to Hongkou District. Compared with yesterday, there were no less plainclothes people in Hongkou District. Tang Cheng did not wander around on the street this time, but took the newspaper and went to a warehouse first, which was recruiting workers.
The identity Tang Cheng used when entering Hongkou District was that of a Japanese expatriate. There are many down-and-out expats like him who came to Shanghai from Japan to seek a living, so seeing the tender-faced Tang Cheng appear here is not too distracting. People pay attention. Tang Cheng's purpose in coming to the warehouse was not to really lurk in Hongkou District. He just didn't want the whole fake identity he used to attract attention. After all, the first thing for Japanese expats who come to Shanghai to seek a living is to find a job.
Tang Cheng looked tender, and the warehouse owner wanted to hire people who could do the job. Naturally, the warehouse owner would look down on him. Tang Cheng, who was rejected by the warehouse owner, did not show any frustration on his face, because with such an incident, his appearance in Hongkou District would not attract the attention of the plainclothes men. For the whole day, Tang Cheng did nothing else but looked for work in Hongkou District. As dinner time approached, Tang Cheng finally found the New Asia Hotel.
The New Asia Hotel has reopened for business. Tang Cheng still knew this news from Boss Yu. He also knew about the recruitment of new Asia Hotel. Tang Cheng spent the whole day in Hongkou District with the purpose of doing it now. bedding. The New Asia Hotel was short of a lot of manpower. Tang Cheng easily entered the New Asia Hotel to work. However, he could not go to important positions and was only assigned to wash dishes and clean in the back kitchen.
Being able to sneak into the New Asia Hotel seems to be very powerful in the assassination operation of Tang Cheng. However, Tang Cheng is vaguely worried. He is worried that the New Asia Hotel will attract Tekko to attack everyone in the hotel because of Shimakawa's arrival. Conduct an identity verification investigation. While Tang Cheng secretly observed the situation in the New Asia Hotel, he secretly figured out how to overcome this difficulty, until he discovered that people from the Shanghai underground party appeared in the New Asia Hotel, and one of them was someone he had seen before.
When Shanghai underground party members appeared in the New Asia Hotel, Tang Cheng knew that there was definitely something happening that he didn't know about, and it was definitely not a trivial matter. Tang Cheng did not take the risk of contacting Shanghai underground party members. He just conducted secret observations and tried to find answers. Time passed quickly. In the busyness and secret observation of Tangcheng, another two days passed, and one day after that, it was the day when Shimakawa arrived in Shanghai.
There were two Shanghai underground gangsters who appeared at the New Asia Hotel. They were a man and a woman pretending to be a couple. Through careful observation, Tang Cheng confirmed that the man and woman should be action personnel, because the walking figure of the man and woman made it look obvious at first glance. Just practiced. Are they also coming for Shimakawa? Tang Cheng suddenly had an idea in his mind. Since the man and woman from the Shanghai underground party appeared here, could he join forces with them to carry out an assassination operation?
