When Tang Cheng looked up in the night, Zhang Simei was mending clothes. Before joining the underground party, Zhang Simei was a good tailor. Snapped! The sudden noise on the window made Zhang Simei feel excited. After almost just one breath, Zhang Simei subconsciously jumped out of bed and turned off the light. When the lights are turned off, people outside can't see clearly what's going on in the room, but people in the room can take the opportunity to observe what's going on outside.
Zhang Simei didn't know whether the noise just now was an accident or was intentional. She has always been cautious as she has been working in the underground party for a long time. After turning off the lights, she lowered her figure, quietly moved under the window sill, and slowly opened a gap in the curtains. Zhang Simei, who opened the curtains, saw nothing strange, so she slowly poked her head in, trying to observe the situation outside the room through the gaps in the curtains. Unfortunately, it was pitch black outside the window, and Zhang Simei, who was hiding behind the curtains, didn't notice anything.
Maybe I was too nervous! Zhang Simei, who didn't notice anything strange, thought she might have made a fuss, but just when she relaxed her vigilance, a mud ball flying from a short distance broke a piece of glass on the window into several pieces. ah! Zhang Simei, who was exclaiming, stretched out her hands to protect her head and face. Fortunately, the broken glass that fell from the window frame did not hurt her. Zhang Simei, who was waiting for a reaction, backed away from the window sill, and another mud ball flew into the room from the broken window frame.
This was definitely not a child's play. Zhang Simei, who had not dared to turn on the light, huddled in the corner of the room, with a wardrobe and a chair in front of her. After about an hour, the panic in Zhang Simei's heart gradually dissipated, and she gritted her teeth and got up from the floor. It was pitch dark outside the window and nothing could be seen clearly. After regaining consciousness, Zhang Simei had the courage to turn on the light. There was light in the room, and Zhang Simei saw the two clay balls on the ground.
Huh? Zhang Simei discovered that the two clay balls on the floor were different. One of the clay balls was wrapped in a layer of paper. Slowly peeling off the layer of paper on the clay balls, Zhang Simei finally realized that the person outside the house who used the clay balls to break the glass was just to send a message to herself. Using this method to convey information, Zhang Simei immediately judged that the other party was definitely not from the underground party organization, but who the other party was, Zhang Simei was also at a loss.
Early the next morning, Zhang Simei rushed to Buzhuang and handed the note she peeled off the Niwan last night to the shopkeeper of Buzhuang. Buzhuang is a contact point for the Shanghai underground party. Everyone, including the clerks in Buzhuang, are members of the Shanghai underground party organization. "Fourth sister, what do you mean?" Feng Heli, the shopkeeper of Buzhuang, saw the note brought by Zhang Simei. He was shocked and turned to look at Zhang Simei.
"I don't know either!" Zhang Simei said honestly after not sleeping well all night. The content on the note was too tempting, but Zhang Simei also knew that there was no such thing as a pie in the sky. "I'm thinking now, was I followed by someone yesterday? Otherwise, how could that person find me so accurately last night? But I carefully considered the person's behavior, and it seems that the person really just wanted to give me something. I delivered this news and did nothing else!"
Zhang Simei was very conflicted at the moment. On the one hand, she hoped that what was written on the note was true, but on the other hand, she was worried that it was a trap. But after she left her residence today, she not only changed her traveling route temporarily, but Zhang Simei also changed her clothes and traveling direction twice on the way, but no one was following her. "We need time to verify the accuracy of this news." After thinking about it, Zhang Simei gave a fairly pertinent answer.
Feng Heli nodded silently when he heard this, and Zhang Simei's answer was exactly what he thought. Those who work in the underground party must not mess up their position when encountering trouble. Safety is the first priority. "What about the meeting mentioned above?" You can send someone to verify the information on the note, but the other party's request for a meeting cannot be avoided. If the information on the note is true and they refuse to meet the other party out of fear, then this huge opportunity may be missed by the Shanghai underground party organization.
"I'll go alone!" Zhang Simei nodded heavily. In Feng Heli's memory, Zhang Simei had never spoken so seriously as now. "I went to meet alone, and the person was looking for me. Although I didn't know what that person meant, I thought that since he was willing to tell us the news, he wouldn't do anything to me! And he wouldn't do anything to me! According to my analysis, that person may only find me, so it is most appropriate for me to meet him alone."
Having partnered with Zhang Simei for many years, how could Feng Heli not know Zhang Simei's temper? Seeing that Zhang Simei had already made up his mind, Feng Heli had no choice but to do the next best thing and send two men from Buzhuang to serve as backup for Zhang Simei. Just as Zhang Simei was preparing for the meeting, Tang Cheng, who had already left the hotel, was already standing on the roof of a three-story building, accompanied by Hans, observing from a distance a few hundred meters ahead. A warehouse.
"Tang, the batch of medicines I mentioned are now stored in that warehouse! According to the information I obtained, this batch of medicines should have been shipped to Shiliupu Pier three days ago, but something strange happened. Until now, this batch of medicines are still in this warehouse. I have been sending people to find out the reason, but this is good, at least it gives us a chance to take action." Hans, who was standing next to Tangcheng, was showing his face at the moment. He looked determined to win.
When Tang Cheng heard this, he just glanced sideways at Hans, thinking that this was in the concession territory after all. If there was too much noise, it might force the Concession Industry Bureau and the Patrol Office to do something crazy. Perhaps sensing Tang Cheng's worries, Hans chuckled, "Tang, I know what you are worried about! It's just that this time, I already have a complete plan! Those things you are worried about will soon no longer be troubles. , I promise you!" Hans dared to say so forcefully, Tang Cheng knew that the other party must be prepared.
It was just as Tang Cheng expected. After Hans chuckled a few times, he finally continued. "I got news that the Concession Industry Bureau will hold a reception soon. It is said to be a welcome reception for a royal member who is traveling to the Asian continent. At that time, many prominent people in the concession will attend the reception. The Concession Industry Bureau The senior officers from the police station will also go to the reception, and I heard that there will be Japanese representatives attending."
"It is a big event for members of the British royal family to come to Shanghai. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Concession will definitely order the patrol house to strictly rectify the security situation in the concession during the period before the reception. We are not hooligans or gang members, so this is The rectification of public security will do us more good than harm. Once the security of the concession is rectified, the British people who store medicines in the warehouse of the concession will also relax their vigilance, and this is precisely the best time for us to take action." Hans' plan heard It's very general, but if you think about it carefully, there is no problem with the general direction of this plan.
Tang Cheng, who had been observing the warehouse with a telescope, shrugged when he heard this, saying that he didn't care, "Okay, everything is up to you. I will stay in Shanghai temporarily during this period. If you feel that the time is up, just let me know." Come on!" Tang Cheng didn't care if members of the British royal family came to Shanghai. He had been standing here with Hans for more than an hour, and he was anxious to return to the French Concession to meet with the Shanghai underground party members.
The appointment with the Shanghai Underground Party to meet at a time was originally a temporary rise of Tang Cheng. Now that Hans said that the time to take action was within the next few days, Tang Cheng felt that it was a bit late for him to contact the Shanghai Underground Party. Tang Cheng's mission to Shanghai has been completed. According to the plan, Tang Cheng should have left Shanghai two days ago. But the batch of medicines Hans mentioned was too tempting. No matter what, Tang Cheng wanted to get this batch of medicines before returning to Chongqing.
It was already an hour before Tang Cheng returned to the French Concession. According to the time he gave Zhang Simei last night, Tang Cheng arrived at the agreed meeting place half an hour early. A few days ago, in this movie theater, Tang Cheng killed a Japanese spy who was following him. Still here today, in half an hour, Tang Cheng will secretly meet with people from the Shanghai underground party organization in this cinema and discuss medicines with them.
Unlike last time, Tang Cheng, who arrived here, did not immediately enter the cinema. Although he had seen the middle-aged woman from yesterday entering the cinema, Tang Cheng still pretended to buy something in the shop opposite the cinema. Zhang Simei, who walked into the cinema at the appointed time, looked down at her watch for the fourth time. It was already a quarter of an hour before the appointed time, but Zhang Simei did not find anyone meeting her in the cinema.
Is this really a trap? However, according to Zhang Simei's observation of the situation in the cinema, there seemed to be no suspicious people in the cinema. The movie had already started for a while, and Zhang Simei, who had already adapted to the dim light in the cinema, looked around. Among the 20 or so people in the cinema, she was alone. Just when Zhang Simei was still anxious, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
"Don't look back. I'm the one who sent you the message last night. I'm sorry that I broke the glass of your window last night." The voice behind her was not loud, and Zhang Simei did not look back as she was told, but she was secretly judging in her mind what she was saying. human condition. Judging from the voice of the other party, he should not be very young. The faint smell of smoke that can be smelled in the nose indicates that the other party is a male. Just when Zhang Simei secretly guessed Tang Cheng's identity, Tang Cheng had already stuffed a heavy cloth bag into Zhang Simei. Zhang Simei just squeezed the bag with her hands and already judged that the bag contained gold bars.
