When Tang Cheng stood in front of the window missing his family, the Xinya Hotel, which had been blocked by the Japanese army for nearly 20 hours, was still very busy. After more than ten hours of on-site investigation, a large number of plainclothes agents from the U.S. High School were still unable to confirm the identity and whereabouts of the attacker. "I don't care what method you use, you must find out the whereabouts of the murderer. What happened at the Xinya Hotel is simply a shame to the empire. You people are all trash."
Angry voices echoed in the lobby of the New Asia Hotel. Hayata Maebei, whose eyes were bloodshot, looked around with hesitation. The plainclothes agents standing in a row in front of him looked embarrassed, but There is nothing to say. Hayata Maebei's rage was not without reason. No matter from any aspect, it was not a small matter that so many military personnel died in the New Asia Hotel. However, the people from Tekko searched the entire hotel but did not find any useful clues. Hayata Maebei no longer knew how to report to his boss.
The newspapers in the concession have already exaggerated the New Asia Hotel attackers. Although the Japanese army has taken control of Shanghai, they cannot fall out with the newspapers that are backed by foreigners. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Concession promised to restrain the newspapers in the concession, but Hayata Maebei also knew that it was just words and would not provide any substantial help. "Kuroto, tell me first, what is the result of your on-site investigation?" Hayata Maebei, who was secretly holding his breath, pointed at one of his men and asked sternly.
Kurotou shivered subconsciously after being asked by Hayata Maebei. He secretly glanced at the other people around him with the corner of his eye. Seeing that everyone was silent, nose to mouth, Kurotou He had to speak. "Section Chief, we have carefully investigated the entire hotel based on the confessions of those people. However, we did not find many useful clues..." When Kurotou said this, there was a sudden pause. Seeing Hayata Senhei Mamoru's face looked bad, so Kurotou continued.
"However, based on the shell casings we found at the scene, we initially judged that the attacker should have used a Mauser submachine pistol in the hotel lobby. However, when he went upstairs and exchanged fire with the military police, the weapon had been changed to A weapon that is rare in China, and an American m1911 pistol. In other words, if the attacker can bring so many weapons into the hotel, he must have accomplices to assist him."
What Kurotou said at this moment was just his personal speculation. However, as he told it, Hayata Maebei and others showed a hint of joy in their eyes. This might also become an idea for detection. and direction. "Section Chief, weapons are rare in China. In the attack on the Army Hospital, the attackers also used weapons. The military police who ordered the street to surround the Army Hospital at that time also said that the attacker was very skilled. We Is there any reason to suspect that the attacker at the New Asia Hotel is the same person as the attacker who escaped from the Army Hospital?"
When Kuroto said these words, his eyes were fixed on Hayata Maebei's reaction. He was afraid that the latter would become angry again because of his words. Hayata Maebei was not angry because of Kurotou's words. The case at the Army Hospital has never been solved, and the attacker who escaped that night has never been found. Kurotou's words just reminded him. If the attacker at the New Asia Hotel was the same guy who escaped from the Army Hospital, his troubles would be relatively small.
Secretly winking at Kuroto who was paying attention to his reaction, Hayata Maebei said after some thought, "Kuroto's judgment is not unreasonable. Since the on-site investigation did not find any useful clues, then we should immediately find the ones on the scene." If it can be confirmed that the two attacks were carried out by the same person, I will report it to the headquarters immediately." Hayata Maebei's words made Kurotou's heart finally fall to the ground, and he finally This level has been passed.
Hayata Maebei quickly followed Kurotou's judgment and reported the survey results of the New Asia Hotel. However, neither the upper management of the Tenko Headquarters nor the Military Police Headquarters could accept the results he reported. Hayata Maebei, who really had no clue, had to examine the staff of the New Asia Hotel and the reception guests who were temporarily controlled by the military police one by one, trying to find clues. At this time, Li Muxin and Ran Jing had already left Shanghai and moved to Suzhou. After failing to connect with the traffic officer smoothly, Li Muxin, worried that they had been exposed, chose to leave Shanghai immediately.
The departure of Li Muxin meant that it was no longer possible for Tec-Tech to find clues related to Tangcheng from the guests at the reception. Even if their investigation revealed that Li Muxin and Ran Jing had different identities, they would not be able to pursue them to Suzhou to find Li Muxin. In the next few days, Tegoko secretly hired many gang members from the concession and secretly launched a large-scale manhunt. Unfortunately, Tang Cheng did not leave his residence for several days, so the private manhunt conducted by Tegoko and gangs in the concession did not Tangcheng poses a threat.
Tang Cheng remained silent in his residence for three days. After receiving more calls from Hans, he left his residence and went straight to Hans' restaurant. Hans called and said that the radio station that Tang Cheng wanted had arrived, but Tang Cheng needed to come to pick it up in person. Tang Cheng knew that this was an excuse for Hans to discuss something with him, so he didn't think much about it. But before going out, Tang Cheng suddenly became more thoughtful, and he deliberately dressed up.
Sure enough, not long after Tang Cheng left his residence, he discovered that someone was secretly following him, and there were many more suspicious looking people in the concession. Tang Cheng, who was being followed all the way, acted very openly. Tang Cheng, who pretended not to know anything, looked no different from ordinary passers-by on the street. The follower only followed him for two blocks and then gave up on his own initiative. . After realizing that he had chosen to give up, Tang Cheng did not turn around and wait, but continued walking carelessly along the street.
When there was still one street left from Hans' restaurant, Tang Cheng found that he was being followed again. This time, Tang Cheng did not continue to pretend to be stupid, but took the person who was following him into a side street. Tang Cheng was followed by two men in short shirts. They looked like gang members. Tang Cheng did not show politeness to them and directly led the two men into a cafe. Looking at Tang Cheng who was drinking coffee leisurely, the two gang members squatting across the street looked depressed at the moment.
The two of them only followed Tang Cheng, not because they found Tang Cheng acting suspiciously. The two of them just wanted to use the name of Ttech to blackmail Tang Cheng. They saw that Tang Cheng was well-dressed and had a foreign watch on his wrist. Such a rich man who went out alone was the target of their blackmail! But they didn't know that the fat sheep they were eyeing was actually the most ferocious beast.
When the two gang members outside the cafe stared at Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng, who was sitting in the cafe, also secretly observed the two gang members outside through the street window. After drinking half of a cup of coffee, Tang Cheng had already overturned his previous judgment. He believed that T&G would never find these two laymen to track people in the concession. After thinking about this, Tang Cheng didn't hesitate and left quietly through the back door of the cafe, leaving the two idiots outside to wait.
The owner of this cafe was friends with Hans, so Tang Cheng knew that this cafe had a back door. He was not afraid of the two gang members, but he just didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. But things in this world are always unclear. Just when Tang Cheng quietly left the back door of the cafe, the gang members squatting outside the cafe unexpectedly met a gang leader. When they went out in the morning, the two of them took the hard-earned money from the little boss with their own hands. If there was no reasonable excuse, the two of them might be punished by the little boss.
"Third brother, we really didn't lie to you! The two of us followed the man for a few streets and saw with our own eyes that man entered the cafe opposite. Just as we were greeting you just now, the man disappeared. Ah!" The two gang members, who were frightened by the expression of the little leader, immediately concealed the interruption of their attempt to blackmail Tang Cheng. It happened that Tang Cheng disappeared in the cafe, and the two of them had an idea and started to secretly They lied about the two of them discovering suspicious behavior in Tangcheng.
Tekko bribed gangs in the concession to secretly search for the whereabouts of the attackers. This was originally a strategy to widen the net to catch fish. These gang members scattered in the concession would report anyone acting suspiciously. Once they were caught by Tekko's plainclothes agents, After confirmation, a bounty is indispensable. According to what these two gangsters said, the man who entered the cafe suddenly disappeared. This could be something other than suspicious!
What happened here was quickly reported to the special task force of Tekko in the concession. As a result, their analysis was the same as that of the gang leader. They all thought that the guy who suddenly disappeared in the cafe was suspicious. In just a quarter of an hour, six or seven plainclothes special agents from the U.S. High School quietly gathered outside the cafe. Two of them entered the cafe to investigate secretly, while the others stayed outside the cafe to monitor passers-by.
Tang Cheng, who had already left the back alley of the cafe, would never have thought that two gangsters who looked useless would actually get involved in such a big mess. At this moment, he had appeared in Hans's restaurant and was being dragged by Hans to bargain. Hans always felt that he had suffered a big loss by taking out two military radios, so he wanted to make up for it from Tangcheng. Tang Cheng, who had already seen the radio station, naturally would not tolerate Hans. He was currently thinking about how to safely deliver the two radio stations to the hands of the Shanghai underground party.
