"What's going on with the gunshots?" Zhang Simei and the others returned to Buzhuang with nervous expressions. Feng Heli, who had been waiting anxiously, couldn't help but have a flash of excitement in his heart. He urgently wanted to know whether the gunfire just now was related to Zhang Simei's three. It’s about people. The Buzhuang run by Feng Heli has been in the concession for a long time. It is almost the most hidden point of contact of the Shanghai underground party in the concession. Feng Heli definitely does not want to see the contact point that he has worked so hard to be exposed to the sight of the special high school. middle.
Zhang Simei did not answer Feng Heli immediately, but opened the suitcase in front of Feng Heli. "This is what that person gave me. He said it was a gift to our underground party organization in Shanghai. There are also gold bars he gave here." Zhang Simei has worked with Feng Heli for many years, and she absolutely believes in Feng Heli's loyalty and responsibility. Therefore, Zhang Simei did not hide it from Feng Heli. Not only did she let him see the pistol and bullets in the suitcase, but she also took out the bag of gold bars.
Just the few pistols and bullets in the suitcase were enough to surprise Feng Heli. When he saw the bag of gold bars that Zhang Simei took out, Feng Heli was so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear. "My dear! These gold bars are enough for our activities for half a year!" Zhang Simei had no time to stop her when she saw Feng Heli's eyes shining, he reached out and grabbed a gold bar and put it into his mouth. Feng Heli's actions were subconscious. Seeing the teeth marks left on the gold bar, Feng Heli smiled from ear to ear.
The funds for Shanghai underground party activities have never been sufficient. The ten gold bars that Zhang Simei brought back allowed Feng Heli, who had been forced to borrow money here and there in order to raise funds, and was already stretched thin, to finally breathe a sigh of relief. What Zhang Simei is getting closer to now is not the funding issue of Shanghai's underground party organization. The scene in the cinema is still echoing in her mind. Thinking of the burst of gunfire just now, Zhang Simei couldn't help but gasp, and she finally connected the two things together.
However, this was just her suspicion, and there was no conclusive evidence to prove the connection between the two things. Just as Zhang Simei was thinking about it secretly, Tang Cheng, who fired continuously to suppress Takagi Haruko, had already crossed the street and was about to get into the alley on the opposite side of the street. How could Takagi Haruko, who was hiding behind the corpse of her companion, watch the attacker escape? Seeing that the attacker was about to cross the street, Takagi Haruko, who was not slow to react, had already guessed Tang Cheng's plan at this moment.
The other party wants to run! The alley on the street will be the other party’s first choice! Takagi Haruko, who was suppressed and had no way to fight back, gritted her teeth. She silently counted the gunshots in her heart, waiting for the opportunity to come. Takagi Haruko planned to wait for the attacker to change the magazine before starting to fight back, but she didn't know that Tang Cheng didn't need to change the magazine at all. Although the shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand could only be loaded with ten rounds, these ten bullets were enough to cover Tang Cheng. Go across the street and into that alley.
"Bang!" The last bullet in the magazine was fired by Tang Cheng. His left foot had already stepped on the curb stone on the opposite side of the street, and the alley was only five meters away from him. In normal times, this distance would not have troubled Tang Cheng at all, but it was different now. If Tang Cheng, whose gun was empty, changed the magazine, his movement would inevitably slow down. The gunfire suddenly stopped, and Takagi Haruko, who was hiding behind the corpse of her companion, was overjoyed. Just when she raised her gun and prepared to fight back, she suddenly found Tang Cheng who had moved to the side of the street and pounced forward.
Regardless of Tang Cheng who jumped forward, in just the blink of an eye, he rolled forward to the entrance of the alley. Before Takagi Haruko could shoot, Tang Cheng had successfully gotten into the alley on the street. damn it! Takagi Haruko stood up from behind the corpse of her companion and screamed, but she did not dare to pursue him because she was the only living person in the entire street. A few minutes later, the concession patrol who heard the gunfire and Takagi Haruko's backup arrived almost at the same time, but all they saw was a furious Takagi Haruko, and as for the attacker, he had long since disappeared.
Tang Cheng got into the alley on the street and ran straight down the alley without daring to waste any time. When the concession patrol heard the sound of gunshots and rushed over, Tang Cheng had already appeared two streets away. "Why is the concession so chaotic now? I just went to order a pair of shoes, and there was a shooting in the street. It's so scary!" In the office of Hans' restaurant, Tang Cheng pretended to be fine and preemptively asked Hans. Before talking to myself, I first talked about the gunshots just now.
Tang Cheng's sudden arrival made Hans, who had just received the news, have to doubt Tang Cheng. Even if Tang Cheng changed his clothes temporarily, the smell of gunpowder smoke remaining on his hands was not easy to dissipate. Tang Cheng, who knew the flaw, was also unambiguous. As he spoke, he had already lit a cigarette and held it in his hand, giving Hans no chance to find the flaw. "The gunfire just now really has nothing to do with you?" Hans was difficult to deal with, but still looked at Tang Cheng with a little suspicion, because in her opinion, Tang Cheng was indeed suspicious.
"Hans, I thought we were good friends. You doubted me for no reason. I'm so sad!" Tang Cheng deliberately complained to Hans. Seeing that Tang Cheng's expression didn't look like he was hypocritical, Hans also started Doubt your own judgment. Tang Cheng, who had been paying attention to Hans's expression and reaction, secretly laughed in his heart, but he still spoke half-truths and half-falsehoods. "When I came back, I saw that many patrol officers had already rushed over. Don't you have an insider in the patrol room? Find someone to inquire about the situation!"
Tang Cheng has always given Hans the impression of being bold and bold. Seeing that Tang Cheng's expression didn't mean he was telling lies, Hans chose to believe Tang Cheng. Hans then made a phone call to the concession patrol room. In just one cigarette, the patrol room called and reported the situation via the patrol room's internal line. Hans quickly figured out what had just happened. "The patrol room said that there were two groups of people who shot just now. One of them was the special operations team of the Special High School, and the other should be people from the Shanghai underground party."
The information revealed by the insider in the patrol room has successfully eliminated the doubts about Tang Cheng. Hans has dealt with the underground party a lot in the black market, but he knows how difficult the Shanghai underground party organization is to deal with. "This special operations team of the Special High School is said to be a group of elites recruited from other places by the Shanghai Special High School. They are specifically responsible for activities in the concession. Their targets are not only members of the underground party, but also members of the military and central unification. "Hans didn't have much relevant information, but it was enough for Tang Cheng.
"My people said that people from the Special High School Division have also arrived, and they are now conducting trace reconnaissance at the scene of the shootout. Judging from the situation at the scene, it should be the people from the Special High School Division who discovered the underground party members in the concession. They were tracked by The other party discovered that there was a firefight between the two sides." The information disclosed by Hans's insider in the patrol room was not comprehensive, so he did not know the specific situation of the firefight scene, and he had no idea that the Special High School had suffered a big loss this time. .
Tang Cheng, who was secretly proud of himself, quietly extracted a lot of information that he could use from Hans. In order not to attract too much attention from Hans, Tang Cheng had no choice but to give up his plan to kill someone in return. After accepting Hans' invitation, Tang Cheng had a delicious meal in Hans's restaurant, and then chatted in Hans' office until about the time when he was about to get off work, before Tang Cheng finally said goodbye and left. When Tang Cheng left Hans' restaurant, he was not in a hurry to return to the hotel, but to check on Ma Qing'er.
After Ma Qing'er lost contact with the Juntong Shanghai Station, she had been living in the hotel mentioned by Tang Cheng. Although it was safe for a short time, Tang Cheng had been worried that this woman would be raped by the Japanese and puppet agents wandering around the concession. Discover. Tang Cheng spared no effort to help Ma Qing'er deliver a message to Datong Tea House, hoping that Juntong Shanghai Station would pick up Ma Qing'er quickly. Only when Ma Qing'er was safe, Tang Cheng would have the energy to carry out the next action.
Tang Cheng didn't know at this moment that the dead mailbox that Ma Qing'er activated worked. Relying on the secret mark Ma Qing'er left on the envelope, Hu Kai easily locked Ma Qing'er's location. Just as Tang Cheng rushed to the cinema to meet Zhang Simei, Zhao Song's men were already inspecting several hotels in the street where the French Concession patrol house was located. In just half an hour, they found Ma Qing'er's hotel. Specific location.
"I don't know who he is? It was too dark at the time, so I didn't see his face clearly at all. But listening to his voice, he likes to have a northern accent when he speaks, and he doesn't sound very old. ." Ma Qing'er, who had been hiding in the hotel without going out, was simply a frightened bird at this time. Finally, Hu Kai rushed to the hotel where Ma Qing'er was staying, and the frightened Ma Qing'er finally left the hotel.
Ma Qing'er's description of the mysterious person was very simple. Neither Hu Kai nor Zhao Song could find any usable clues from her description. However, from Ma Qing'er's narration, they knew that the mysterious man was very familiar with the secret stronghold that Ma Qing'er and the others were responsible for. The mysterious man did not behave like a novice at all that night. Zhao Song was not very satisfied with Ma Qing'er's narrative. Under Hu Kai's guidance, Ma Qing'er finally remembered that before he was rescued, the mysterious man sent him Morse code on the street.
"Based on this alone, we can't confirm that the mysterious person is one of our own!" People who have been engaged in intelligence work in enemy-occupied areas for a long time have a more or less instinctive reaction to doubt everything, especially the current situation in Shanghai is too chaotic. Zhao Song The attitude at this moment was not too much. After listening to Ma Qing'er's talk about the mysterious man sending Morse code on the roadside, Zhao Song did not show too much concern because he knew that since the other party was unwilling to show up, he might I just don’t want to have anything to do with Shanghai Station.
"Let's put the matter of the mysterious man aside for now!" Zhao Song stretched out his hand and scratched his head, worried about the news he had just received. "I just received the news that there was another firefight in the concession. It is said that the Special High School suffered a big loss this time. Their special operations team suffered heavy losses and several were killed."
