Tang Cheng likes to make decisions before taking action, especially when making plans, he likes to follow one step at a time. Crossing the Suzhou River at night and entering Hongkou District to snatch gold may seem reckless, but it was actually a decision made by Tang Cheng after careful consideration. However, he did not expect in advance that there was one hundred kilograms more gold in the basement of the Jincheng branch. Fortunately, a few people in Tang Cheng gritted their teeth and persevered, but according to Tang Cheng's plan, bringing the gold back to the concession was not enough. He also had to leave Shanghai before the Japanese found out.
At this moment, there are less than two hours left before dawn, and up to four hours left before the Jincheng branch opens for work. During this time, Tangcheng needs to entrust some things to Hans. "You are leaving Shanghai today? Are you in a hurry?" Hans didn't know in advance that Tang Cheng planned to leave Shanghai today. When he suddenly learned the news, Hans felt bad.
"There is an American cargo ship on the dock going to Japan. It will sail at six in the morning. You have to get me on that cargo ship before six o'clock." Tang Cheng looked down at his watch. It is now three in the morning, which is more than enough time. "I was planning to leave Shanghai. If it weren't for this batch of gold, I might have gone to Chongqing by sea." Hans looked ugly at the moment, but Tangcheng would not change his attitude just because of Hans's expression. plan.
"Okay! I'll make some arrangements and I'll make sure I won't delay your boarding!" Tang Cheng was talking about an American cargo ship, which was no pressure at all for Hans. "I will get rid of your share of gold as soon as possible. At that time, I will arrange for David to be sent directly to Chongqing. But what about the British butler you are looking for? It's too late to meet him now!" Hans' reminder made Tang Cheng Suddenly he remembered that he had asked Hans to help him recruit a British butler.
"Forget it if I can't meet him. In fact, I don't need a British butler, I just need a British man for a plan." Tang Cheng did not intend to hide it from Hans, and then roughly informed Hans of his plan. "Just help me take a look when the time comes. I want to find someone who is honest and whose ability is secondary. It's best to find someone who has no other choice but to take care of his family. This kind of person is easy to control. Even if something goes wrong, he will be there." Easy to handle.”
Hans obviously didn't expect that Tang Cheng was actually planning such a big thing. Although he only heard a rough idea, Hans felt that if Tang Cheng's plan could be implemented, he might actually get unexpected gains. . Hans frowned secretly, Tang Cheng saw it all, and then asked. "How about it? My plan sounds good, right? Do you want to join in? If the situation changes, it will be a good place to retire."
Tang Cheng's invitation was a bit too sudden for Hans, especially since the current situation in Europe was relatively stable. Hans had not seen any abnormalities in the situation that Tang Cheng said had changed. "Hans, we are friends, so my invitation is always valid. When you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, don't hesitate to come to Chongqing to find me." Seeing that Hans did not respond to him immediately, neither did Tangcheng. Reluctantly Hans.
Half an hour later, the things Tang Cheng left in the hotel were brought to the restaurant by Hans' men. Counting the MP40 and all the US dollars, Tang Cheng quickly sorted out two big bags. "My goal is too big, so I won't see you off for a while. David will personally see you off the ship. If everything goes well, in half a month, David will send the proceeds from the sale of gold to Chongqing and give it to you. ." Seeing that the time was almost up, Hans picked up a big bag and personally escorted Tang Cheng out of the restaurant's back door.
"Take care!" Tang Cheng, who was escorted out of the back door by Hans himself, didn't say much. He just opened his arms and gave Hans a hug before getting in the car, then got into the car and left without looking back. Hans, who watched Tang Cheng leave, stood at the back door of the restaurant for a long time before turning back to the restaurant. The gold that Tangcheng and the others obtained from Hongkou District was quickly transferred to other places by Hans. I believe that it will not take long for the gold to be re-smelted into gold bars of various sizes.
After dawn in Hongkou District, people who got up early did not know what happened in the Jincheng branch. All the people living here were doing the same as usual, until a large number of military police surrounded the Jincheng branch. "Have you heard? Something happened to the Jincheng branch! Not only were all the guards killed, but I heard that the basement of the Jincheng branch was also robbed!" Watching and joining in the fun is not just something the Chinese like to do. It is a fact. It proves that Japanese expatriates living in Hongkou District also like to join in the fun.
Outside the gate of the Jincheng branch, the corpses covered with white sheets made the idlers watching the excitement extremely excited. Even though the plainclothes officers and policemen from the Special High School who arrived later tried their best to drive them away, the idlers who gathered around to watch the excitement only moved back a certain distance, but did not disperse immediately. More and more bodies were being carried out from the Jincheng Branch, and the faces of the military police captains became increasingly ugly, because most of the guards at Jincheng Co., Ltd. were veterans who had retired from the army.
"Captain Maeda, the situation has been roughly clarified. The time of the attack should have been after midnight last night. All the guards of the Jincheng branch were dead. According to our current investigation results, the attacker should have sneaked in from the roof of the building and then descended from above. Next, attack the guards on duty last night at the Jincheng Branch one by one, and then leave through the gate." Those surveying the scene in the Jincheng Branch were not just trace experts from the Special High School Course, but also several intelligence personnel from the Military Police Headquarters, who were also good at surveying. on site.
The intelligence officer's report made Captain Maeda frown. Ever since Major General Heng Yuan was assassinated in Hongkou District, the military police units responsible for daily patrols have been continuously reprimanded by their superiors. Although the gendarmerie troops have cooperated with the Special High School and implemented a complete blockade of Hongkou District, several rounds of searches have yielded no results. Now that something happened again at the Jincheng branch, Captain Maeda already foresees that he will be reprimanded again, and he may not be able to continue his job as captain.
Captain Maeda's foresight was very accurate. He learned that the Jincheng branch had been attacked. The attackers not only killed all the guards of the Jincheng branch last night, but also robbed several hundred kilograms of gold and more than 200,000 US dollars in cash from the vault of the Jincheng branch. , the entire top brass of the Military Police Headquarters immediately exploded. Jincheng Co., Ltd. has a very close relationship with the Japanese military. They not only do business with the Kwantung Army, but also do business with the Japanese army in Shanghai.
Especially among the senior officials of the Military Police Headquarters, many people use Shinjo Co., Ltd. to transport the good things they get from China back to Japan. Half of the US dollar cash in the basement of the Jincheng Branch belonged to the Military Police Headquarters. It was the reward for the Jincheng Branch's purchase of precious metals from the Japanese army in Shanghai. The gendarmerie officers who were in charge of night patrols in Hongkou District last night were questioned one by one. After confirming that the patrol team found no abnormalities, the gendarmerie headquarters focused on Hongkou District.
The Military Police Headquarters felt that the attackers and the gold had not left Hongkou District, but the Super High School Division's judgment was the opposite. They believed that not only the attackers had left Hongkou District, but the gold was no longer in Hongkou District. No useful clues were found during the on-site investigation, and the Military Police Headquarters was impatient to cooperate with the Special High School Section to find the whereabouts of the attacker. As time passed, the news that the basement of the Jincheng Branch was robbed finally spread.
Hans, who knew full well and was still involved, pretended to know nothing and pretended to learn the news from other people. In order to pretend to be more serious, after learning the news, Hans even spent money to buy more detailed information from insiders, and sold the newly obtained information at a price on the black market. Hans did this naturally to eliminate others' doubts about himself. At the same time, he also wanted to know the attitude of other forces towards this matter.
The Juntong Shanghai Station got the news later than Hans. When they first heard the news, the Shanghai Station didn't pay much attention to it, but when they heard that the Jincheng branch had been robbed of hundreds of kilograms of gold and more than 200,000 US dollars in cash, , everyone at Shanghai Station felt incredible. No matter how good gold and US dollars are, they are no better than a life. According to the news, the comprehensive blockade in Hongkou District was not lifted last night. They really can't think of anyone who has such courage to do this!
Shanghai Station, who couldn't think of a clue, was now in a mood of envy and jealousy, while Xu Yingzi and others who also learned the news were filled with deep hatred, because Tang Cheng's actions last night were completely intercepted. Their Hu. Xu Yingzi and the others had been planning this operation for half a year. In order to find out the situation inside the Jincheng branch, Xu Yingzi and the others not only spent a lot of money, but also used a honey trap.
It took half a year to prepare, during which a lot of money was spent, and a niece of Xu Yingzi was also involved. Seeing that the special envoy has arrived in Shanghai, he has also brought action manpower, but at this moment, the gold and US dollar cash in the Jincheng branch were taken away first. This means that all the preparations that Xu Yingzi and the others have spent time and energy on have been in vain. "Axiba, damn, I must not see him!"
In a rage, Xu Yingzi burst into a rage with her hair disheveled. Through the insider information in the military police, Xu Yingzi already knew all the details of the robbery at the Jincheng branch. Especially when she learned the amount of the robbery, Xu Yingzi almost gritted her teeth. For no other reason than that, she had already determined that what happened last night was related to that young man.
The young man Xu Yingzi was thinking about was naturally Tang Cheng, but the furious Xu Yingzi didn't know that Tang Cheng, whom she hated so much, had already left Shanghai at this time. At this time, Tangcheng had already left the waters of Shanghai. With a leisurely expression, he was standing on the side of the ship and looking far into the distance. In a good mood, he was already secretly calculating the time for his return to Chongqing.
