"Captain, this is the shop in front of me. This shop was originally an incense and candle shop. I heard that it can't continue to operate, so I plan to sell the shop. Although the shop is older, the asking price is not high." Come with Tangcheng. The man in this street is called Wang Dahai, and he is a native of the north of the city. Wang Dahai was originally a low-profile man in muddy water robes from the north of the city. During the first round of severe crackdowns, he was sent to a labor camp outside the city for labor reform. Now he is considered a new member of the search team.
Wang Dahai's family is in the north of the city and he is very familiar with the situation in this area, so Tang Cheng specially asked him to take him into the north of the city to find a suitable place for the intelligence collection point. The original investigation team used shops or rented houses throughout the city to collect intelligence and clues from the streets with the help of the family members and relatives of the veteran police officers. Tang Cheng returned to Chongqing, and those shops that had been idle were reactivated. Tang Cheng came to the north of the city this time to check for leaks and fill in the gaps, and to prepare to add several intelligence points in the north of the city.
Compared with other areas in the city, the north of the city has a dense flow of people, many of whom are migrants. The floating population is difficult to monitor. If Japanese spies sneak into Chongqing, they will most likely choose to hide in this area. The shop introduced by Wang Dahai is indeed not large in area, but this incense and candle shop also has a backyard. With this backyard, you can do a lot of things in this shop.
Tang Cheng came to the north of the city today. He looked very ordinary in his clothes. Before coming here, Tang Cheng told Wang Dahai to behave like a businessman, so at this moment, Wang Dahai was bargaining with the shopkeeper. Tang Cheng did not participate. He just looked around in the backyard of the shop alone with his hands behind his back. The faint sound of conversation coming from the adjacent yard on the left suddenly aroused Tang Cheng's interest.
Not only did Tang Cheng's strength far exceed that of ordinary people, but his hearing was also much greater than that of ordinary people. Standing under the left wall of the courtyard, Tang Cheng could hear the voices in the next courtyard more clearly. There were three people talking in the yard next door. The one with the shrill voice was probably a young woman, and the other two were men. "Shh..." The conversation in the yard next door made Tang Cheng more and more interested. He then raised his right index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture towards Wang Dahai, who was looking at him.
Wang Dahai didn't know why Tang Cheng stood under the left wall. Seeing Tang Cheng's gesture, Wang Dahai understood and had no choice but to pull the shop owner and turn around and go to the shop in front. Most of the tobacco and soil business in Chongqing is related to Pao Ge's cousin Neng. The Liu Xiang family, known as the King of Sichuan, has been in the tobacco and soil business for many years. Liu Xiangneng has been in charge of the Sichuan Army for many years and relied on dumping tobacco and soil to maintain military supplies. .
The three people who were talking in the yard next door were talking about the smoke and soil. The woman who was talking at the moment had an obvious Yunnan accent, while the remaining two men had Chongqing accents. Among the cigarette dealers that Tangcheng has seen, there has never been a woman who trafficked in cigarettes. Moreover, the woman who was talking next door was obviously young, but her tone of voice firmly suppressed the other two men.
A young female cigarette dealer, and not a native of Chongqing, has always taken the initiative in her words. This is what Tang Cheng is interested in. The three people in the yard next door, one woman and two men, had no idea that their conversation was being overheard. The content of the conversation between the three involved a batch of tobacco from Yunnan. Although Tang Cheng did not hear the quantity of the batch of tobacco, he did hear the time and place when the two parties handed over the tobacco.
As soon as the war started, prices skyrocketed, and the price of cigarettes also increased. He leaned sideways against Tang Cheng under the wall, thinking secretly in his mind whether he should find Zhang Jianghe and join forces to eat this batch of cigarettes. If you want to confiscate opium in Chongqing, you can't rely on Tangcheng alone. If this batch of opium involves the Liu family or the powerful Pao Ge, Tangcheng will definitely cause trouble, but if it involves Zhang Jianghe, that’s different.
The conversation in the yard next door ended quickly. Tang Cheng, who had been standing under the wall until there was no sound from the other side of the wall, left the yard and returned to the shop in front. Wang Dahai may not be good at doing serious things, but he is good at bargaining. While Tang Cheng was eavesdropping on the conversation next door in the backyard, Wang Dahai had already negotiated a price with the shop owner, and the price was higher than originally mentioned. Much lower.
"I want this store. I'll leave the rest to you. If you need money, go back to Lao Liao and I will tell him." Tangcheng just needs this store to house the people responsible for inquiring about information. As long as The location is suitable, and Tang Cheng doesn't care about the rest. After explaining to Wang Dahai, Tang Cheng left the north of the city and went straight to Chongqing Station to find Zhang Jianghe to discuss intercepting Yantu.
"Uncle Zhang, I happened to hear about this. Although I don't know the quantity of this batch of cigarettes yet, but from what those people said, I'm afraid this batch of cigarettes will be quite large." In Zhang Jianghe's office, Tang Cheng did not waste time, but chose to go straight to the topic. Times at the Chongqing Station were also difficult during this period. Although there was a share of profits from the labor reform farms outside the city as subsidies, as the number of personnel at the Chongqing Station continued to increase, Zhang Jianghe still felt that the funds allocated by the superiors were stretched.
At this moment, Zhang Jianghe was really excited when he heard that Tang Cheng said that a batch of tobacco soil from Yunnan was to be delivered in Chongqing. However, Zhang Jianghe was also worried about the things that Tang Cheng was worried about. Seeing Zhang Jianghe's hesitation, Tang Cheng continued, "I'm also worried that this matter will involve the Liu family or the powerful brother Pao in the city, but I have to watch such a big piece of fat slipping from under my nose. I feel a little pity to leave."
In front of Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng did not hide his thoughts at all, and Zhang Jianghe did not reprimand Tang Cheng. "You have to think carefully about this matter!" Zhang Jianghe responded, neither objecting nor approving, but just asking Tang Cheng to act carefully. Tang Cheng, who was slightly disappointed in his heart, did not show his disappointment on his face, because he knew that Zhang Jianghe was not timid, but because there were some things that he, the webmaster of Chongqing Station, could not directly come forward to do.
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry. Those people will deliver the goods in three days. I will arrange for someone to go find out the news first. Then, I will take them there myself." After not being in Chongqing for a while, I returned to Tangcheng, Chongqing. Suddenly, I discovered that there were many ruthless characters popping up in Chongqing city. Therefore, Tang Cheng's idea of acquiring that batch of cigarettes was not just for the cigarettes, but also to tell the ruthless people in the city that Tang Laohu was back.
Zhang Jianghe has no doubts about Tang Cheng's ability. If a bastard boy who can mess with the special high-tech industry by himself in Shanghai can't deal with a few small figures smuggling cigarettes and soil, then there will really be a problem. It’s over! Tang Cheng came to Zhang Jianhe not only to seek support from Zhang Jianghe, but also to borrow manpower, weapons and equipment, and preferably vehicles from Zhang Jianghe.
"You better forget it! If you just borrow a few people and a few guns, that's fine. But I can't lend you a car. Those are the only cars in Chongqing. The license plates of all the cars here have long been Those who are interested should keep this in mind. Believe it or not, as long as someone sees these cars appearing at the scene, someone will immediately know that this matter is related to me." No matter how Tang Cheng made excuses, Zhang Jianghe just refused to lend the car.
The inability to borrow a car meant that even if Tang Cheng could successfully intercept the batch of smoke and soil, there would be no way to quickly evacuate the scene with the smoke and soil. However, Zhang Jianghe's refusal did not make Tang Cheng change his mind. As the old saying goes, even if you can't eat fat meat, it still has to be sticky on your hands. As long as the batch of smoke and soil is detained at that time, Tangcheng will have a way to get benefits from it. At most, it is a matter of how much benefit. Tang Cheng's expression gave Zhang Jianghe the answer, but he did not say anything to stop Tang Cheng.
"How is the investigation going with the woman who had a private meeting with Zhou Wen? This Zhou Wen was transferred to Chongqing Station by the previous webmaster. I heard that she has a little background at the headquarters." Zhang Jianghe finally turned the topic back to the right track. If there is really a problem with this Zhou Wen, as the webmaster, he must respond immediately. If he is responsible, he will only wait for a rebuke from the headquarters. Zhang Jianghe was not familiar with the deputy section chief named Zhou Wen. After asking his close subordinates, he found out that Zhou Wen was the old man from Chongqing Station.
Zhang Jianghe said that Zhou Wen had a background in the intelligence agency headquarters, and his original intention was to remind Tang Cheng to treat the matter with caution, but he forgot that Tang Cheng was a soft-spoken person who would not accept the tough one. As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Cheng rolled his eyes and sneered, "It would be best if you have a background, just so that the people at the headquarters can see your old tricks, so that they know that you have nothing to do in Chongqing." Even when you are idle, you are doing something.”
Tang Cheng's words were not a mindless tantrum. While he was away from Chongqing, not only was his investigation team in a state of stagnation and splitting up, but even Zhang Jianghe was criticized for being idle and idle. Tang Cheng sincerely regarded Zhang Jianghe as his elder uncle, not to mention that Zhang Jianghe had another identity. After receiving the news, he would not tolerate anyone saying that Zhang Jianghe was a freeloader.
"You have such a bad temper!" Being protected by the junior, Zhang Jianghe felt warm in his heart, but he had to teach Tang Cheng a lesson. After all, there were some things that should never be said carelessly. "Your uncle and I have never seen anything in my life! What happened to being ridiculed by others? Will a piece of flesh fall off? Besides, what they said is right, I am indeed missing an arm, I am missing an arm What if it's not a disability?" Zhang Jianghe had a smile on his face, but his words revealed unwillingness and anger. It was obvious that he also hated those who said strange things behind their backs.
