Hongkou District at night is not as prosperous as the concession, but there is no shortage of pedestrians who go out for a stroll after dark. When Tang Cheng left the courtyard, it was already approaching nightfall. He casually found a place to eat on the roadside. When Tang Cheng, well fed and well fed, appeared in the street again, it was already dark. Tang Cheng failed to convince Xu Yingzi, but he was not without gains. At least he already knew a secret route through which Xu Yingzi and the others could freely enter and leave Hongkou District.
Tang Cheng didn't know until now that there were many Korean soldiers in the Japanese army in Shanghai. The reason why Xu Yingzi and others were able to have such a secret passage was because they had already bribed a Japanese military police officer in Shanghai. Korean military officer. With this message, Tang Cheng became more confident in tonight's action. At least he no longer had to worry about how to escape after the action. It was still early, so Tang Cheng wandered aimlessly through the streets. At least he needed to walk the secret route first.
It has been three days since Yokomoto Ichiro came to Shanghai. In two more days, this person will leave Shanghai. These two days will also be Tang Cheng's last chance to assassinate him. Tang Cheng was secretly calculating in his mind, while blending into the crowd, he secretly paid attention to the movements around him. As time went by, the flow of people in the streets of Hongkou District began to decrease. The only people who were still wandering around at this time were not drunkards and idlers. There were only the police and military police patrolling the Hongkou District in accordance with the orders of their superiors.
Tang Cheng, who was running quickly with the help of cover, was slowly approaching Yokomoto Ichiro's residence. He had already opened the triple eyepiece and was not affected by the night. He quickly reached a place a street away. Here under the darkness of night, the number of military police and plainclothes soldiers far exceeded that during the day. There was still a street away, and Tang Cheng had already spotted several plainclothes agents in succession, and at least two military police patrols passing by.
Seeing this situation, Tang Cheng knew that it was impossible to break in forcefully. There were so many military police and plainclothes agents deployed here. If he broke in forcefully, he might not even see the face of the target, and he might be beaten to death. it's here. If Tang Cheng had not asked Hans for help before entering Hongkou District, perhaps at this moment he would have felt that this was probably a Japanese trap. But now, he became more and more aware that the place was heavily guarded, and instead felt that the target was in the residence in front.
Since we can't force our way in, the only thing left is to outwit them. The intelligence that Hans helped collect once mentioned an inconspicuous piece of information. This Yokomoto Ichiro loves to eat sea fish, and only likes to eat fresh fish. The Military Police Headquarters specially arranged a special person to go to the pier every morning to bring back the freshest sea fish. Under the current situation, Tang Cheng felt that this originally inconspicuous message might be used. After repeated testing, Tang Cheng felt that he had no way to sneak into the target's residence, so he had to do the next best thing and retreat to the road leading to the dock to wait patiently.
Time passed little by little, and while Tangcheng waited patiently, at four o'clock in the morning, the sound of a car finally came from the deserted streets. Tang Cheng, who was completely dressed in black and completely blended into the night, suddenly became energetic. He looked in the direction of the sound. Tang Cheng, who was lying on the roof, saw a military truck coming from the direction of the target's residence. The truck's There is also a three-wheeled motorcycle in front of the military police. It must be this military truck! After seeing the three-wheeled motorcycle in front of the truck, Tang Cheng was secretly happy.
Most of the people who guarded Yokomoto Ichiro's residence were military police, and when Yokomoto Ichiro came to Shanghai, it was the military police headquarters that entertained him, so it could only be the military police headquarters that arranged for people to go to the pier to fetch fish. The three-wheeled motorcycle that Tang Cheng saw at the moment was the standard equipment of the Japanese military police in Shanghai. Therefore, after Tang Cheng saw the three-wheeled motorcycle, he could immediately confirm that the military truck behind the motorcycle was going to Vehicles used to pick up fish from the pier.
Military trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles drove quickly along the deserted streets. Tang Cheng, who was lying on the roof of the street, did not make any move. He just thought secretly when the military truck passed by him. Use system skills to put a mark on this military truck. With this skill mark, as long as this military truck enters within a hundred meters of Tangcheng, Tangcheng will be able to detect it immediately and accurately locate the military truck.
After watching the truck leave and slowly disappear at the end of the street, Tang Cheng, who had been hiding on the roof, quietly came down from the roof. The speed of the truck just now was all seen by Tang Cheng. The truck was going straight too fast. Even if Tang Cheng's skills were far superior to ordinary people, he would not dare to implement the method he thought of at this speed. Tang Cheng jumped off the roof and moved quickly along the street to the end of the street. After using the shadows on the street to avoid a military police patrol, Tang Cheng stopped at the end of the street.
Compared with the concession, the sanitary environment in Hongkou District is pretty good. There is no debris at the end of the street, but there are still some potholes on the ground. Tang Cheng personally saw the potholes on the ground, and then calculated the exact distance between these potholes and the end of the street. Still a little worried, he directly took out a short knife from his carry-on equipment bag and secretly removed these potholes on the ground. The pothole was dug again. It only takes ten or twenty minutes to drive from here to the dock. Including the time to pick up and pack the fish, Tangcheng calculated that the return of the truck would take at least half an hour.
About a quarter of an hour later, Tang Cheng, who had cleaned up all traces, activated his light body skills and climbed onto the roof of the street again. He thought of all the possibilities he could think of. All that was left was to wait and then verify whether his method was feasible. . Tang Cheng originally wanted to hide on the street and wait for the truck to appear, but there was no place to hide on this street, so he could only hide on the roof in the middle of the street and wait for the opportunity to appear. While Tang Cheng was waiting anxiously, the sound of a truck engine could be heard faintly in the distance. Soon, Tang Cheng on the roof saw the three-wheeled motorcycle first.
Very good! Tang Cheng on the roof looked happy, and his heart was a little excited. As long as the obstructive three-wheeled motorcycle is still walking in front of the truck, my method is already half successful. The military truck following the motorcycle soon turned into this street, and all of Tangcheng's energy was focused on this military truck. Watching the truck passing by him from a high position, Tang Cheng made sure that the truck's back panel was covered by a tarpaulin, which had been hidden on the roof, and he immediately jumped off the roof.
Tang Cheng, who had the ability to lighten his body, made almost no sound when he landed. He ran quickly after landing and only took a few breaths to catch up with the truck that smelled faintly of sea water. Although the potholes near the street intersection would not cause trouble to the military trucks, the drivers of the military trucks still habitually stepped on the brakes to slow down. Just as the truck slowed down to pass the pothole and the driver was about to change gears and refuel, Tang Cheng, who had been following the truck, suddenly accelerated and nimbly got into the bottom of the truck from the left side.
Tang Cheng got under the car very quickly. Besides, the driver in the cab was busy changing gears and refueling, so he had no time to look at the rearview mirror on the left side of the truck. Tang Cheng quickly got into the bottom of the truck. Without any advantage, he opened his arms and legs and climbed onto the bottom of the truck like a spider. Tang Cheng didn't have time to prepare in advance, and this method was just his temporary idea, so he could only grit his teeth and persist silently.
Fortunately, it was not far from Yokomoto Ichiro's residence. After accelerating, the truck drove into Yokomoto Ichiro's residence in only five minutes. Tang Cheng, whose hands and feet were already numb, was still gritting his teeth and persisting. Only when all the Japanese soldiers waiting to unload the truck left and he was hiding under the truck had a chance to relax. The half-hour persistence was a test and a challenge for Tang Cheng. Fortunately, Tang Cheng had already drank a bottle of physical strength potion before taking action, otherwise he would not have been able to persist.
Tang Cheng, who was silently calculating the time in his heart, simply closed his eyes and waited for the backyard where the truck was parked to quieten down. Tang Cheng, who had been clinging to the bottom of the car, relaxed his hands, feet and body, and let himself stretch out and lie down flat. On the cement floor under the car. Tang Cheng slowly moved his hands and feet, secretly adjusting his breathing to regain his strength as quickly as possible while paying attention to the movements around him. Until he felt that his hands and feet were no longer numb, he rolled sideways out from under the truck. There was a light on in the house closest to the truck, and Tang Cheng smelled the food from a distance and knew that was where the kitchen should be.
The information provided by Hans did not include the floor plan of the residence, nor the details of the residence, so everything here was simply a black eye for Tang Cheng. According to ordinary people's thinking, maybe entering through the kitchen would be the best way to sneak in, but Tang Cheng gave up this idea immediately. Tang Cheng, who got out from under the truck, just glanced at it and saw There were at least three people busy in the kitchen.
Tang Cheng, who was squatting on one knee on the side of the truck, looked around a few times to confirm that it was impossible to sneak in from the kitchen. Tang Cheng immediately raised his head to confirm the top position of the wall beside him. Tang Cheng, who had flying claws and light body skills in hand, had already made up his mind to sneak into the top of Yokomoto Ichiro's residence. Based on the hospitality of the military police headquarters in entertaining Yokomoto Ichiro, Tang Cheng guessed that the target would live in the best and largest house. in the room.
What is the best and largest room? In this era, generally the best rooms are not on the first floor, so Tangcheng's judgment is not wrong. With his mind made up, Tang Cheng immediately threw his flying claw upwards, then activated his light body skill to climb up the wall along the thin rope.
