"Does this really work?" The hustle and bustle in the restaurant has long since disappeared. The brothers who were summoned by Tang Cheng in the name of the garrison also left one after another. Only the Tang Cheng brothers and Zhang Jianghe were left in the restaurant. Zhang Jianghe had never wanted to tell anyone about the possible bombing of Chongqing by Japanese planes. If Tang Cheng hadn't insisted, Zhang Jianghe wouldn't even be here today.

Faced with Zhang Jianghe's questioning, Tang Cheng, who was lighting up his cigarette, chuckled and said to himself, "You old man, you don't know how terrifying the power of the masses is." These Paoge bosses summoned by Tangcheng are all locals, and their subordinates rely on them to make a living. They rely on Chongqing locals to control the outside population in the city. This is definitely the best way to prevent espionage. "I don't care whether it works or not. As long as they don't help the Japanese, it will be the greatest help to us."

Zhang Jianghe was very puzzled by Tang Cheng's answer, and Tang Cheng had no choice but to continue, "When I was in Nanjing, I met a university professor! This professor of history once conducted an investigation. Japan originally planned peace outside the border In Shandong, they not only used commercial power but also used money and property to bribe local powerful people. Their biggest help was the various bandits and bullies outside the customs and in Shandong. These bandits and bullies were local people, and they secretly helped the Japanese. People did things that gave the Japanese army the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

"The same is true for us in Chongqing! I summoned all the robe buddies in the city to come here for a gathering today. Without the sign of military reunification, many of them would definitely not come. These people only have their own interests in mind. With them, the interests of the nation will not matter at all. It’s no use! I asked them to sign a confidentiality agreement, but actually I just wanted to put pressure on them, to put pressure on them in the name of military command, so that they would not dare to do things for the Japanese in private.”

Tang Cheng, whose face showed a hint of exhaustion, finally revealed his true plan in front of Zhang Jianghe. "That's right, what I played today was to knock the mountain and shake the tiger! Even if some of them are not convinced, but in the situation just now, even if they were not convinced, they did not dare to say it to their faces." Tang Cheng, who was stared at by Zhang Jianghe , without any concealment, after all, he had already regarded Zhang Jianghe as a family member.

Tang Cheng's meeting with Pao Ge in the city was not hidden from the bureau chief who was sitting at the military command headquarters. The bureau chief, who was very suspicious, did not react to the matter this time, which was rare. Tang Cheng didn't care what kind of reaction the military command headquarters would make. He just wanted to do something. For several days in a row, Tangcheng, with the cooperation of Pao Ge Tangkou in the city, conducted personnel screening in places where the foreign population gathered in the city.

"Captain, we've got it!" In a side street not far from the pier, Zhao Dashan, who led people to block the street entrance, effortlessly caught the man and woman who were driven over by Tang Cheng and others. The man and the woman looked ordinary, but after catching them, Zhao Dashan found a pistol and a short knife from their bodies. Although guns are everywhere these days, those who carry pistols and daggers are definitely not ordinary people.

Hearing Zhao Dashan's shouts, Tang Cheng rushed over and saw that the man and woman had been subdued to the ground. Tang Cheng did not say anything, but just bent over and checked the clothes of the man and woman. collar. "After we go back, everyone will be punished with two hundred push-ups. Anyone who has not finished will not be allowed to eat dinner!" He stood up with the collar containing the poison. Tang Cheng's face looked very ugly. For no other reason, Zhao After Dashan and the others saw the person, they only checked the weapons carried by the target, but ignored the possibility that the target might commit suicide by taking poison.

Seeing with their own eyes the suspicious white powder found in Tang Cheng's torn collar, Zhao Dashan and others immediately broke out in a cold sweat. How to conduct a body search was taught by Tang Cheng himself when they were recruited for action. It's just that these days, Zhao Dashan and the others have almost forgotten the process and precautions of this body search. Faced with Tang Cheng's rebuke, all the team members present, including Zhao Dashan himself, lowered their heads subconsciously.

"You'd better keep it in mind that once people like them are caught, their fate will never be easy. So as long as there is a chance, they will do anything to escape in order to survive. As the captors, we, Before confirming that they have lost the ability and opportunity to resist, you must not relax at all, otherwise you and your companions may lose their lives!" Seeing that Zhao Dashan and others realized their negligence, Tang Cheng let go He spoke slower and his tone was not as sharp as before.

The man and woman that Zhao Dashan and the others arrested at the street entrance were the fourth wave of unidentified people that Tangcheng and the others had captured in the past few days. All the unidentified people caught by Tang Cheng and others have one thing in common, that is, they all have weapons hidden on their bodies or in their residences. Zhang Jianghe has also been busy in the past few days. Not only did he seconded a number of torture experts from the military command headquarters, he also applied for a sum of funds from the bureau to build several interrogation rooms in the military camp.

"The military camp is big enough. As long as it doesn't occupy the backyard, you can use the rest of the area as you like!" After learning that Zhang Jianghe was planning to use the basement of the small building in the general camp to detain the arrested targets, Tang Cheng applauded this with both hands. Anyway, he didn't have the time to pay attention to these trivial matters. "Uncle, I still have a lot of surveillance targets identified here. Can you apply for some telescopes from the headquarters for surveillance? There are still many gaps in the equipment we have!"

Tang Cheng didn't know why Zhang Jianghe called him back to the military camp. Seeing that Zhang Jianghe's expression was wrong, Tang Cheng took the initiative to change the topic. "Let's not talk about the equipment for now! I'm calling you back. Something happened on Bai Zhanshan's side! The headquarters just received the news that Bai Zhanshan and the others were rounded up by the Special High School Section in the concession. Although Bai Zhanshan was not arrested by the Japanese, he We also lost contact!" Tang Cheng tried to change the subject, but Zhang Jianghe didn't accept the move at all.

Bai Zhanshan lost contact in Shanghai, which Tangcheng did not expect. Although Bai Zhanshan's ability was a bit poor, he could still be regarded as an old man in the military command. How come that he had only been in Shanghai for half a month, and something like this happened? "Uncle, there have been continuous incidents at Shanghai Station. Do you think there is a traitor?" A possibility suddenly flashed in Tang Cheng's mind, and Zhang Jianghe's reaction at this moment also proved that Tang Cheng's guess was not impossible.

"The bureau chief thinks so too!" There were only two people in the office, himself and Tang Cheng, so Zhang Jianghe had a lot less worries when talking. "The bureau chief called me before to talk about this matter! But now time is tight. Even the headquarters can't find the so-called traitor in a short time. Because of the continuous incidents at Shanghai Station, the bureau Zuo now simply can’t believe those people who are still stranded in Shanghai, so he wants to find an outsider to go to Shanghai to clean up the mess!”

Tang Cheng was not stupid. He understood what Zhang Jianghe said. Then he pointed his finger at his nose and looked at Zhang Jianghe, "Uncle, the outsider you are talking about is not me, right? Although I have been to Shanghai, I was just to punish traitors for your military commander. Assassination and cleaning up the mess are completely different things! More Besides, I'm not a member of your military commander, and even if I were, those people at Shanghai Station might not listen to me, a young boy!"

Tang Cheng's reaction at this moment was obviously not beyond Zhang Jianghe's expectations, so after Tang Cheng stopped speaking, Zhang Jianghe spoke immediately. "That's right, the bureau chief wants you to go to Shanghai to clean up the mess. He says he is cleaning up the mess, but in fact, he wants to use your assassination to divert the attention of the Shanghai Special High School and buy time for the recovery of Shanghai Station." Zhang Jiang and himself were not happy for Tang Cheng to go to Shanghai again, but this matter involved a lot, and Tang Cheng was capable enough to deal with the troubles in Shanghai.

Zhang Jianghe's words made Tang Cheng not speak immediately. Instead, he sat on the sofa and closed his eyes in deep thought. After a while, Tang Cheng finally spoke, "It's okay for me to go to Shanghai. I want to know how long you plan to have me stay in Shanghai this time! Shanghai Station has been continuously rounded up and destroyed by the Special High School. Could it be that Shanghai Station If I don’t recover, will I have to stay there? I also want to know if I can set my own tasks when I go to Shanghai this time? How can I have to cooperate with Shanghai Station? Then I don’t want to go to Shanghai because I don’t want to be implicated by a fool. lethal!"

The reply given by Tang Cheng could, in a sense, be regarded as the conditions he proposed. Tang Cheng's meaning has been made very obvious. It is not impossible to go to Shanghai, but Tang Cheng has to act alone, and the military command headquarters needs to confirm the operation deadline first. Tang Cheng does not want to stay in Shanghai forever and put himself in danger every day. middle. Zhang Jianghe could not reply to Tang Cheng, so he could only call the military command headquarters and relay Tang Cheng's original words to the bureau chief.

"Promise him! Since this kid wants to be a loner, Monkey King, then he must turn Shanghai upside down like Monkey King. Otherwise, he will stay in Shanghai for the rest of his life!" The person on the other end of the phone The bureau chief actually laughed out loud. Instead of being furious as Zhang Jianghe expected, he immediately agreed to Tang Cheng's request. "He doesn't need to worry about Shanghai Station. He only needs to stay in Shanghai for two months. If Shanghai Station cannot use these two months to rebuild, we can only say that the people at Shanghai Station are all idiots. He has nothing to do with it."

Tang Cheng did not expect that Mr. Bureau would be so reasonable. Not only did he use his request to act alone, he also found a reason for himself to get out of it in advance. But Tangcheng didn't know that just before the bureau received the call from Zhang Jianghe, the military command headquarters had just dispatched the third batch of personnel to Shanghai, including two killer teams.
