The tunnel is not very high. Although Tang Cheng cannot move straight in the tunnel, it is still enough for an adult to walk in the tunnel at an ordinary daily moving speed. Tangcheng walked along the tunnel for only a few meters when there was a turn. After walking through the turn, he suddenly discovered that the tunnel was not straight. Instead, after walking a few meters away, there was a turn. This is intentional! This is to prevent the tunnel from being discovered, and these turns are used to snipe pursuers in an emergency!
Tang Cheng had to admire these people of the Korean National Salvation Army in his heart. The secret arrangements of the tunnels, which were usually used for hiding and for emergency transfer, were actually used by the Korean National Salvation Army. There's just one thing, the people who built this tunnel never thought that this is Hongkou District. If a gun fires here, even if they rely on the arrangements in the tunnel to block the pursuers, the gunfire will still reveal their evacuation arrangements. On the contrary, This gave the Japanese army the possibility to encircle and annihilate them.
Tang Cheng felt that the main function of tunnels was to facilitate evacuation in emergencies, especially tunnels like this arranged in enemy-occupied areas. As Tang Cheng moved forward silently, he secretly calculated the distance in his heart. He had walked through two corners in a row, and he calculated in his mind that he had walked almost fifteen or six meters. At a distance of fifteen or six meters, even if there might be a slight deviation in the direction between the two corners, Tang Cheng concluded that he had left the backyard of the kimchi shop at this moment.
When Tang Cheng climbed through the backyard of the kimchi shop, he had already seen the surrounding situation. The direction of the backyard of the kimchi shop was a residential area. According to the length of this tunnel, the exit of the tunnel was probably in one of the houses. In the tunnel, Tang Cheng was about to turn the third corner when a voice suddenly came from behind him. Tang Cheng frowned. He knew that someone had descended into the tunnel, perhaps the man and woman he had heard talking before.
The man and woman Tang Cheng guessed had already descended into the tunnel along the wooden ladder under the box. Xu Yingzi, who personally directed the digging of the tunnel, had already turned on the flashlight. On the surface, Xu Yingzi is the owner of the kimchi shop, but she is actually the contact person of the Korean National Salvation Army in Hongkou District, and she is also responsible for raising funds for the Korean National Salvation Army. The middle-aged man following Xu Yingzi at the moment is the special commissioner of the Korean National Salvation Army who just went south from the peninsula to Shanghai. The purpose of this man's coming to Shanghai is to recruit action members to assassinate high-level Japanese troops.
The tunnel under the kimchi shop was successfully excavated by members of the National Salvation Army lurking in Hongkou District under the command of Xu Yingzi, who spent more than three months. Xu Yingzi has walked through this tunnel many times, but today, Xu Yingzi, who was walking in the tunnel, always felt that something was wrong. The tunnel leads directly from the utility room in the backyard of the pickle shop to the backyard of another house. The two yards are dozens of meters apart, and there is a tunnel in the other yard that leads to other places farther away.
Although it was difficult to walk through the dozens of meters long tunnel, Xu Yingzi's discomfort became more and more obvious when she finished walking. When Xu Yingzi used to walk through this tunnel, every time he reached the end of the tunnel, he would always be discovered in advance by the people guarding here and teased a little. But today, she led people to the ladder at the end of the tunnel, but the person guarding the tunnel exit did not show up. This made Xu Yingzi vaguely feel that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the discomfort in Xu Yingzi's heart was not a whim. She had just climbed out of the tunnel along the ladder. Before she could see clearly the situation at the tunnel exit, she felt someone pinched her neck hard, and then there was something in front of her. There was darkness and he lost consciousness. Tang Cheng, who came out of the tunnel a dozen times earlier than Xu Yingzi, had already successfully controlled the man guarding the tunnel. The faint breathing that Tang Cheng heard in the utility room was the sound of the guard who got into the tunnel out of boredom. of.
About half an hour later, Xu Yingzi woke up from her coma. After waking up, Xu Yingzi realized that not only herself, but also the special correspondent who came with her was tied up. Xu Yingzi, who had a ball of cloth stuffed in her mouth, tried to struggle hard, but she couldn't break free of the hemp rope that bound her. "If I were you, I wouldn't waste any effort! Instead of struggling, you might as well think about it, can you How can I exchange my life for you?"
The sound coming from behind made Xu Yingzi struggle harder. She tried to roll on the ground so that she could turn over and see clearly the person speaking behind her. The person who spoke was naturally Tang Cheng, but he did not want to prevent Xu Yingzi from turning over, because Tang Cheng had covered her face with a black scarf early, and even if Xu Yingzi turned her around, she still didn't know that Tang Cheng appearance. "Who are you? How do you know this tunnel?" Xu Yingzi, who tried to turn over, looked a little embarrassed, but the eyes looking at Tang Cheng showed deep unwillingness and hatred.
If Xu Yingzi can lurk in Hongkou District, he must be able to speak Japanese. What Tang Cheng just spoke was fluent Japanese, at least Xu Yingzi didn't hear anything strange. It was because of Tang Cheng's Kyoto accent that Xu Yingzi had doubts about Tang Cheng's identity, because from what Xu Yingzi learned, there were no students from Kyoto in Shanghai's special higher education courses. Hearing this, Tang Cheng ignored Xu Yingzi's hateful gaze, just took out a pistol and pointed it at the commissioner, and then asked Xu Yingzi coldly.
"If I were you, I should understand my situation. Since the initiative is in my hands, then the communication between us must be conducted in my way. Let me ask you an answer. If I find you lying, I, this person, have no way to continue living! So, it doesn’t matter what you think. As for whether you lied, I actually don’t care!” Tang Cheng’s words made Xu Yingzi feel very conflicted, what? I don’t really care if I tell you to lie?
When Tang Cheng was talking, he was paying attention to the middle-aged man's reaction out of the corner of his eye. The middle-aged man who was also tied up with a hemp rope by Tang Cheng looked like he hadn't woken up yet, but his fingers were shaking from time to time. But the fact that he continued to pretend to be faint had already been exposed. The first thing Xu Yingzi looked after she woke up was to observe her surroundings. The moment she saw the middle-aged man, Tang Cheng clearly noticed that Xu Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief. This shows that the kimchi shop owner attaches great importance to the middle-aged man. year man.
"Since you didn't object, that is to say, we have reached a basic agreement. Okay! My first question, this is not very far from your kimchi shop, if this tunnel is arranged like that The purpose is just to facilitate the transfer here, so I say that your efforts are in vain. Ordinarily you should not be so stupid, so I suspect that there is also a tunnel here, and I want to know whether my suspicion is correct. "
Tang Cheng's speech was not very fast, and Xu Yingzi heard it clearly. When she heard that Tang Cheng suspected that there was another tunnel here, Xu Yingzi, who was shocked, thought of the first thing that flashed in her mind. The reaction was that there must be a traitor among them. When Xu Yingzi directed the excavation of the tunnel, he used the most trustworthy people around him. If there wasn't a traitor around him, how did the person in front of him know that there was another tunnel here?
The changes in Xu Yingzi's expression and eyes did not escape Tang Cheng's observation. He just smiled softly and Tang Cheng looked at Xu Yingzi who looked dull. "You don't have to guess. The real thing is definitely not that there is a traitor around you. It's just what I observed." Seeing that Xu Yingzi didn't believe what he said, Tang Cheng told what he had observed after sneaking into the utility room. to those situations. "You put the tunnel entrance under the box. This idea is not wrong, but you should not directly hollow out the bottom of the box."
"If it were me, I would choose to move that box out of the utility room. Something so conspicuous and easy to attract attention should never be placed in the utility room. As for the tunnel entrance, you can use a stove. Use it as a cover. When you pickle kimchi, you must use chili sauce. A stove used for cooking chili sauce will not arouse suspicion. Install a movable push plate in the wall of the stove. Who would have thought that this functioning stove is the authentic entrance.”
"As for the length of the tunnel, it is the biggest flaw. I don't believe that the National Salvation Army, which has been fighting the Japanese for so long, would be stupid enough to dig a tunnel that can only move a few dozen meters. If your kimchi shop When discovered by the Japanese, the military police and plainclothes agents will definitely not just surround the kimchi shop. They will even surround the entire block where the kimchi shop is located. You have been fighting the Japanese for so long. I don’t believe you can imagine this. a little."
"So, don't think that your arrangements are very secretive. If you who are lurking in Hongkou District only have this ability, there will be no need for the Korean National Salvation Army to continue to exist." Tang Cheng smiled happily at this moment. Especially after he saw Xu Yingzi's expression, the look on the other person's face that wanted to argue but had nothing to say made Tang Cheng feel very comfortable in his heart. The middle-aged man who had been lying on the ground with his eyes closed was also confused for a while. Did Xu Yingzi and the others have such an obvious flaw?
"I still have the same question as before. Is there another tunnel in this yard?" Tang Cheng said, and in front of Xu Yingzi, he quickly pulled the trigger of the gun and put a bullet in the chamber. "If you don't answer, or tell lies to deceive me, I guarantee that there will be another hole in his body!" Tang Cheng's expression was relaxed, but Xu Yingzi's heart sank to the bottom. She could see that Tang Cheng was not easy to deal with. , so she still gritted her teeth and refused to let go.
