Zhang Jianghe always had a close-but-far attitude toward Wang Bingzhang, a very utilitarian person. After learning that Wang Bingzhang called Tangcheng and tried to get involved in the matter, Zhang Jianghe's answer was simple. "Don't pay attention to him. There is something wrong with this man's head. He wants to die. Don't hold him back." Zhang Jianghe's entire answer definitely had something in it. Tang Cheng was not a fool, how could he not hear the meaning? Deep meaning.
Tang Cheng's call to Zhang Jianghe was not just to inform him of the matter, so after Zhang Jianghe paused, Tang Cheng continued. "Uncle, there is nothing to be afraid of because Wang Bingzhang is a man of great ambition and talent. I am worried about the people who are looking for him. I don't think Wang Bingzhang should know what I do, but why does he still call me and inquire about me as soon as he opens his mouth? Do those arrested have any clear evidence? Wang Bingzhang is very cautious, and I think that if the person who came to him hadn't offered him a benefit that he couldn't refuse, he would never have called me on his own initiative."
"Wang Bingzhang is also the chief of police in Chongqing after all, and he can be considered a well-known figure. It is definitely not easy to get him to fawn over people! Wang Bingzhang clearly knows my relationship with your Chongqing station, and he is trying to get people from me. , I think he may not go to you to find a solution! If we offend him, a local snake, we may face a lot of difficulties in Chongqing in the future, but if we hide it from the superiors because of him, the military command headquarters will definitely not be able to spare you, the webmaster. .”
"So, you think this is a dilemma?" Zhang Jianghe's reaction was not slow. After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he immediately took over. "Actually, if Wang Bingzhang is not sober, the worst he can do is to capture him. Anyway, the headquarters has always suspected that this person is secretly flirting with the Liu family! This case involves Japanese and puppet spies. No matter who dares to get involved, The outcome will not be good!" Already understanding what Tang Cheng meant, Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone did not hide it and told a piece of news that Tang Cheng had not paid attention to before.
"Uncle, are you saying that the headquarters is dissatisfied with Wang Bingzhang?" The news revealed by Zhang Jianghe at this moment surprised Tang Cheng so much that he could hardly believe his ears. He clearly remembered that the last time he had dinner with the people of the garrison, Zhang Jianghe had a glass of wine with Wang Bingzhang who came uninvited? Could it be that Zhang Jianghe's performance at that time was just acting with Wang Bingzhang? If this is really the case, isn't Wang Bingzhang being fooled?
Tang Cheng's questions were not answered by Zhang Jianghe, because Zhang Jianghe did not take Wang Bingzhang seriously at all. "Captain, what should we do?" Zhao Dashan and other veteran policemen gathered in Tangcheng's office again. In their view, neither Wang Bingzhang, the police chief, nor the Chongqing Military Command Station could offend easily. Although Wang Bingzhang, the police chief, is not as bluffing as Juntong, Wang Bingzhang has been operating in Chongqing for many years and should be more dangerous to locals like Zhao Dashan than Juntong.
"Just do what you have to do! We are arresting Japanese and puppet spies. Those arrested later were all confessed by Japanese and puppet spies, and everyone's confessions have been obtained. This is a certainty that no one can change. Fact!" While looking around at everyone in the office, Tang Cheng tapped the table with his finger knots, as if to warn those who were hesitant among Zhao Dashan and others. "I don't care what is said outside, but we must not allow different voices and opinions to appear within us."
Tang Cheng has not been very aggressive since he formed the special investigation team, and he is usually quite polite to veteran policemen like Zhao Dashan. Today, he was uncharacteristically strong. The hesitant people among the crowd immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Tang Cheng again. "Since everyone has no other opinions, let's get to work! Chongqing Station will send people over again today to cooperate with us in checking the stores and warehouses that have been sealed. I tell everyone to keep your hands clean and don't let people from Chongqing Station look. joke."
According to military regulations, anyone who is judged to be a traitor will have his or her property confiscated. This case currently involves so many merchants in the city. Even if they just confiscate their shops and warehouses, it will not be a small sum. Tangcheng had already negotiated with Zhang Jianghe. The traitors' property would belong to the Chongqing Station. The search team only wanted these traitors' shops, warehouses and hotels in the city. Tangcheng wanted to use these places to establish more intelligence points in the city.
Zhang Jianghe originally thought that Tang Cheng was crazy about setting up shops in the city just to make money privately. However, this time the search team tracked Nitta Yi and carried out the arrest process accurately, making Zhang Jianghe finally realize that Tang Cheng had done this. The importance of placement. Compared with the military commander, Zhang Jianghe hoped that such an intelligence network could be in Tangcheng's hands. At least so far, Zhang Jianghe has not found that Tang Cheng has an obvious political tendency. In other words, Tang Cheng does not have any hostility towards the underground party.
Coupled with Zhang Jianghe's understanding of Tangcheng, Zhang Jianghe felt that Tangcheng would not pose a threat to the underground party, so he chose to support Tangcheng to continue to expand the intelligence network in the city. The search team is only nominally under the command of the Chongqing Station. In fact, the search team has clear autonomy in management and daily operations. Even Zhang Jiang and the chief of the Chongqing Station do not have much restriction on the direction of the search team's actions. force.
For almost a whole day, all the idle manpower in the search team was sent out by Tangcheng to cooperate with the people from Chongqing Station to search out the traitor's shops, warehouses and hotels in the city. Among them, several opium dens that were discovered by accident were forcibly closed by Tangcheng. Some robe brothers from the jurisdiction came to ask for the opium dens, but Zhao Dashan came forward to dismiss them. "Opium dens and brothels in urban areas must be strictly controlled from now on!" Tang Cheng put down his tea cup and habitually clicked on the table with his fingers. Zhao Dashan and others who were sitting opposite him and were watching the accountant settle the accounts secretly looked at each other. .
Zhao Dashan and the others looked at each other secretly, thinking that they were doing it secretly, but they didn't know that Tang Cheng had already seen it clearly. "Sooner or later, all the Japanese and puppet spies and traitors in this city will be caught. We can't play tricks in the city to support the bandits. That will only make everyone lose their heads. Going to the battlefield to fight is not Our strength is that since there are no Japanese spies in the city, maintaining order and stability in the city is our new mission direction."
"With the increasing number of outsiders in the city, various shady activities will also increase. Opium dens and brothels will gradually become profitable, and then become the target of disputes between various forces in the city. At present, this kind of The signs are not obvious yet. This is also our best opportunity to establish rules in the city. If we cannot establish rules for these profiteering industries at this time, once the situation changes to the point where we cannot maintain order in the city, Chongqing will be completely in chaos. Come on! Don’t forget, our families are all in this city!”
Tang Cheng's words sounded very arrogant. If you don't count the secret agents who secretly helped the search team to find out information, the actual number of people in the search team was less than a hundred. With just a few manpower, he was claiming to establish rules for the hugely profitable industries in Chongqing. Whoever heard what Tang Cheng said just now might not be able to help but laugh in front of the audience. However, Zhao Dashan and others did not think so, because behind the search team stood the behemoth of the military commander, and the military commander was functionally able to intervene in military and police affairs.
In other words, as long as the military commander endorses the search team, the search team can serve as a subordinate agency of the military commander and directly intervene in Chongqing's police service. In other words, what the Chongqing police can do, the search team can do, and what the Chongqing police cannot do, the search team can also do. "The rest of this case will be handed over to the Chongqing Station. You will activate the secret lines in your hands and start secretly collecting information on opium dens and brothels in the city. I want to know clearly the division of power in these industries in the city."
Tang Cheng's confidence did not dispel the worries of Zhao Dashan and others, especially Lao Fu, who expressed his concerns to Tang Cheng on the spot. "Captain, when there was a military riot in Chongqing, some people proposed to ban smoking, but in the end it was nothing. There were too many people involved!" What Lao Fu wanted to say was actually not finished. But Tang Cheng already understood what Lao Fu meant.
"I know what you are worried about. I didn't say a total ban on smoking!" Tang Cheng's words made Zhao Dashan and others even more confused. He thought to himself, if you don't want to ban smoking, why do you want us to secretly inquire about the city? Information about the opium den! Seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces, Tang Cheng grinned, "Well, I didn't tell you clearly what was going on! If you want to completely ban smoking, I also know that it is impossible. After all, Some things cannot be accomplished in a day or two!”
Opium has been circulating in China for a long time. Not to mention the rich, there are also many people within the Communist Party who smoke opium. The most famous one among them that Tangcheng knows is the young marshal of the Northeast Army. A comprehensive ban on smoking will not only offend the interests of local gangs, but may also offend some political forces who secretly sell tobacco, including the military. Tang Cheng still doesn't feel that he has lived too long, so he doesn't want to provoke these forces. The rules he talks about are simply aimed at the mountain city of Chongqing.
"I plan to regulate the profiteering industries in Chongqing. To be honest, I just want to set rules for the opium dens, casinos and brothels in the city." It seemed like I just remembered that Tangcheng was now counting the city's casinos, which made me secretly The worried Zhao Dashan and others became even more restless. Casinos are not like opium dens and brothels that can be opened in just a yard. Anyone who can open a casino in Chongqing has the backing of a big shot. The Tang Dynasty wanted to set rules for casinos, and if things went wrong it would cause big trouble.
