As soon as Bai Zhanshan arrived in Chongqing, he came to Tang Cheng first for no other reason than Tang Cheng was the only one who could help him with this matter. "Xiao Wu, this Huang Qiang is also an old man of the military command. When he was in Lanyi Club, he had already followed the bureau chief. After this incident came out, the bureau chief has been reprimanded by the chairman many times, but Huang Qiang is familiar with the military command. His methods of doing things have allowed him to avoid being surrounded and killed several times. I came to Chongqing this time just for him, so you have to help me!"
The Huang Qiang mentioned in the Baizhan Mountain Pass at the moment is an operations team leader at the Military Command Headquarters. This person has practiced martial arts very well since he was a child. He has made many meritorious deeds, but he just likes to drink and find women. After the military command headquarters moved from Nanjing to Wuhan, Huang Qiang somehow met a young widow who was stationed not far away, and then quietly lived together. Originally this was a matter of mutual consent, but the young widow's parents-in-law were still alive. Under the instigation of relatives at home, they actually kidnapped the young widow and wanted to sink her into the pond according to family law.
Huang Qiang, who had planned to marry the young widow, naturally couldn't sit idly by, but the other party's family was also powerful in Wuhan. After a fierce fight, Huang Qiang shot and wounded several of the other party's people, and the young widow was also killed by a stray bullet. . People on both sides died, and the matter finally became a big deal. Huang Qiang didn't want to escape at first, but saw that the matter was getting bigger and bigger out of control. In desperation, Huang Qiang had to flee Wuhan alone.
The military command headquarters was forced to implement family laws to clean up the family, but Huang Qiang himself was also a master of action. After several consecutive pursuit failures, the military command could only issue a kill order. Bai Zhanshan was unlucky. This kind of errand was not in his hands originally, but this guy drunkenly beat up the nephew of a big shot in the army a week ago, so Huang Qiang's secret fell into Bai Zhanshan's hands as a matter of course. After hearing Bai Zhanshan tell the whole story, Tang Cheng shook his head and chuckled, secretly thinking that Bai Zhanshan still didn't understand the actual intention of the headquarters.
"Uncle Bai, can you stop being so panicked?" Tang Cheng lit a cigarette, then raised his head and looked at Bai Zhanshan. "You beat up the boss's nephew. If you continue to stay in Wuhan, you will definitely suffer retaliation from the other party. The headquarters assigned you Huang Qiang's case just to transfer you out of Wuhan. As for whether Huang Qiang can be caught, I guess The headquarters never reported any hope from the beginning. In other words, the headquarters doesn't care at all whether you can catch Huang Qiang."
If Tang Cheng said this to other people, they might immediately provoke a rebuttal or even a face-to-face confrontation. But Bai Zhanshan was different, not to mention that Bai Zhanshan and Tang Cheng's late father were also old acquaintances, not to mention that Zhang Jianghe was present here. Bai Zhanshan carefully thought about what Tang Cheng said just now, and it seemed to make sense. There was no news about Huang Qiang after he fled Wuhan, but the headquarters had to bring people to Chongqing himself. When Bai Zhanshan thought about it, he immediately figured it out. He had to admit that there was some truth in what Tang Cheng said just now.
Seeing Bai Zhanshan's mood gradually calming down, Zhang Jianghe, who had been silent, finally spoke. "Old Bai, you should rest assured now! Don't worry, as long as that Huang Qiang comes to Chongqing, Xiao Wu and I will definitely help you catch him. Now that he's here, just stay there! If you feel It’s uncomfortable to sit idle, but we happen to be taking action in the next few days, so you can take your people and join in! I’ve given the headquarters a chance to reprimand you.”
Zhang Jiang and his old friendship, he said so, gave Bai Zhanshan an excuse and opportunity to stay in Chongqing. Bai Zhanshan was not stupid. He immediately understood Zhang Jianghe's intention and hurriedly expressed his gratitude. Bai Zhanshan also patted his chest to ensure that he was willing to obey the command. Zhang Jianghe drafted a telegram in front of Bai Zhanshan and arranged for someone to send the telegram to the military command headquarters immediately. Bai Zhanshan was truly relieved.
Tangcheng did not put down Huang Qiang to appreciate him. He did not even notify the search team to search for Huang Qiang in the city. After all, Huang Qiang had never been to Chongqing, so it would be very difficult to hunt him down in the city. Early the next morning, Zhang Jianghe and Bai Zhanshan, who stayed at the military camp last night, rushed to the Youfang in the east of the city. Tang Cheng had already been waiting here. "Our target this time is the tailor shop on the left side of the oil mill. We have been keeping an eye on this tailor shop for half a month."
"Starting from three days ago, there was a sudden increase in the number of people entering and leaving the tailor shop. We sent additional personnel to track 12 people who looked suspicious, and finally identified four suspicious targets. In the next three days, these four suspicious targets Two of them have been to the tailor shop again." As he spoke, Tang Cheng took out two sketches from a wooden folder and handed them to Bai Zhanshan and Zhang Jianghe respectively. "This is the portrait of the target I drew, and this is the original manuscript. Everyone in the search team has obtained the photo that was reproduced based on the original manuscript."
Tang Cheng has the ability to draw sketches of targets. Bai Zhanshan and Zhang Jianghe had seen this with their own eyes more than once when they were still in Nanjing. Therefore, the two people who reached out to take the portrait had no doubts about what Tang Cheng was saying at this moment. The two portraits that Tang Cheng took out were of a man and a woman. The man with the wrinkles on his forehead looked older, but the woman looked very young. "The man in the portrait is Qian Songlin, a section chief of the Housing Department, and the woman is Huang Yueling, an accountant in a company."
The section chief of the Housing Department and the company's accountant had nothing to do with each other. Neither Bai Zhanshan nor Zhang Jianghe had a clue at the first time. "According to the analysis of the current situation we have, the importance of Qian Songlin is the Housing Department. A large number of administrative departments have gone south to Chongqing. As the party providing office space and housing, the Housing Department must have first-hand knowledge of these administrative departments. Information. As long as these information are carefully analyzed, the situation of these administrative departments will be clear at a glance, and it will be easier for them to develop insiders."
Tang Cheng's words opened another door for Bai Zhanshan, Zhang Jiang and the two of them. They had never thought of this before. "Then what are you going to do now?" Zhang Jianghe's words sounded like he was asking questions knowingly. There were not only the three of them in the oil mill, but also Zhao Dashan and more than 15 people from the search team. It seemed that they were going to arrest people. . Tang Cheng understood what Zhang Jianghe meant, but he didn't want to play a long-term game to catch big fish. He always believed in catching one when he found one.
"Qian Songlin must be caught today. The Housing Department looks inconspicuous, but at critical moments, he can be of great use." Tang Cheng did not hesitate at all and immediately responded to Zhang Jianghe's question. answer. "If we have to design the entire intelligence team of the Japanese and puppet spies, we may allow them to send out more valuable intelligence. I personally feel that doing so will outweigh the gains and losses. My opinion is, if you find one, arrest him immediately , let’s see if we catch them quickly, or if the Japanese send more people.”
Tangcheng's style of doing things is obviously different from that of the military commanders. Once the military commanders discover lurking Japanese and puppet spies, many will choose to wait and see what happens, trying to use the targeted lurking spies to expand their results. But Tangcheng found that catching one by one was a bit like hammering here and there. Although it could not destroy the entire Japanese and puppet intelligence team, it captured a lot of Japanese and puppet spies.
Bai Zhanshan, Zhang Jiang and Wen Yan didn't speak. They just motioned to Tang Cheng to continue, "This woman named Huang Yueling came to Chongqing last year. She changed residences and jobs several times after coming to Chongqing. She just moved to Chongqing 2 months ago." She works as an accountant in this trading company. According to our investigation, the trading company she works for has a Shanghai background and is also secretly engaged in the business of buying and selling tobacco and soil." When Tang Cheng mentioned the tobacco and soil business, Bai Zhanshan's expression remained as usual, and Zhang Jianghe's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Most of the cigarettes on the market in Shanghai come from the southwest region. There are also many prominent figures in Chongqing who make a lot of money by smuggling cigarettes to Shanghai. From the first day Tang Cheng came to Chongqing, he knew that it would be impossible to ban the sale of cigarettes in Chongqing. So all along, Tangcheng has only targeted the small opium dens and opium dealers in the city, and the opium dealers with backgrounds in the city. Tangcheng has always turned a blind eye.
"We suspected Huang Yueling because our people found that this woman often visited places where city officials were. Just last week, this woman went to the club not far from the city hall for four days. Deputy Xie was accosted by this woman." Zhang Jianghe was quite familiar with the people in the garrison, especially Deputy Xie, and he knew that this person had a good relationship with Tangcheng.
"For a young woman who is alone in Chongqing to frequent these places is questionable. If she is just trying to get acquainted with dignitaries, then she shouldn't be an accountant. Wouldn't she be a social butterfly to be able to attract a rich husband? There are several officials who have close relations with this woman, and one of them is a secretary of the city government who has access to confidential documents."
A secretary who has access to confidential documents naturally carries a different weight. Zhang Jianghe, who was thinking secretly in his heart, no longer insisted on taking a long-term view to catch the big fish. Tang Cheng had been secretly paying attention to the reactions of Bai Zhanshan and Zhang Jianghe. When he saw Zhang Jianghe frowning, Tang Cheng knew that Zhang Jianghe was making evaluations and trade-offs. After a while, Zhang Jianghe nodded and agreed to Tang Cheng's plan, "Since you want to arrest people, you might as well take away the tailor shop as well."
"Of course we have to arrest the tailor shop! After half a month of secret surveillance, we have almost mastered what we should know. There is no big use in keeping it." Tangcheng responded immediately, thinking that I had already grasped it. I just fell in love with the courtyard of the tailor shop. If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know who this courtyard will be cheaper in the future!
