At the beginning of the lanterns, Tang Cheng came out of a restaurant on the street with plenty of food and water. After sleeping in the hotel for an afternoon, Tang Cheng was full of energy at this moment. At night, Greater Shanghai presents a kind of abnormal prosperity. With the influx of a large number of people, the Shanghai Concession looks like a prosperous scene. The neon lights and advertising paintings that can be seen everywhere are not seen in the mountain city of Chongqing. Tangcheng walked slowly with the flow of people and soon reached Nanjing Road.

The place Tangcheng is going to tonight is the famous dance hall street in the Shanghai Bund Concession. On the Tibet Road not far from Nanjing Road, there are several dance halls only a few hundred meters away, including one known as the Big Dance Hall. MGM Ballroom, one of the four major ballrooms in Shanghai. However, Tang Cheng didn't come here to kill time and get drunk tonight. He came here to look for Japanese spies who might appear here.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Concession turned a blind eye to the Japanese and puppet agents entering the concession, so it was normal for Japanese and puppet agents to enter the concession dance hall to have fun. Most of the dance halls in the concession have a distinctly European color, so the dancers who come here to have fun are definitely not ordinary people. Since ordinary little spies can't afford to come here to spend money, the only ones who can come here are the big spies, so Tang Cheng is here to try his luck tonight.

The MGM Ballroom is undoubtedly the one with the best business among these ballrooms. When Tang Cheng arrived here, many cars were already parked outside the MGM Ballroom. Tang Cheng did not cross the street immediately and enter the dance hall. Instead, he lit a cigarette and stood on the street smoking quietly. After secretly observing for a while, Tang Cheng finished smoking a cigarette, then crossed the street and followed a group of men and women into the dance hall.

Compared with the song and dance halls of later generations, the MGM Ballroom, known as one of the four major dance halls in Shanghai, was not worth mentioning in the eyes of Tangcheng. After entering the ballroom, Tang Cheng did not dance with the dancers or drink and flirt like the other guests. He just ordered a glass of beer, then found a remote corner to secretly observe the guests in the ballroom. The information Tang Cheng bought from the bar owner showed that this dance hall was often visited by Japanese and puppet plainclothes agents. However, he secretly observed the area and found no suspicious-looking plainclothes agents.

After drinking half of a glass of beer, Tang Cheng, who had rejected several dancers' attempts to strike up a conversation, was about to leave when a sudden noise came from the dance floor. Tang Cheng, who had already stood up, looked over when he heard the sound, and happened to see a tall man pointing at a middle-aged man and yelling curses. Next to the two of them, there was a dancer with disheveled hair. The dance hall in Shanghai is a mixed bag of people, and everyone is there. At first glance, it is just a farce of jealousy.

Two guests compete for a dancer. This scene happens almost every day, so other people in the ballroom don't take it seriously. Tang Cheng was also watching with interest at the moment, but his attention was not on the two men, but on the dancer who seemed aggrieved. There's something wrong with this dancer! This was the first reaction in Tang Cheng's mind, especially after he saw the dancer's standing posture at this moment, his idea became even more firm.

The quarrel on the dance floor became more and more intense. Just when almost everyone in the ballroom was focusing on the quarrel and farce, Tang Cheng suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that a pair of people who were originally located near the dance hall bar The man and woman had quietly moved their positions at this moment, arriving beside several guests. "Pah...pah...pah..." The sound of gunshots suddenly appeared. The man and woman who Tang Cheng noticed from the corner of his eye suddenly took out their pistols and fired at the guests beside them.

Shot at such a close range, there was no chance or time to dodge. Large clouds of blood mist burst out continuously along with the sound of gunfire, and the ballroom was instantly filled with screams and shouts. Upon hearing the sound of gunshots, Tang Cheng's first reaction was to squat down on the spot, holding his head, just like the other guest dancers. Then he blended into the crowd with a panic look on his face and rushed towards the door of the dance hall.

The information he bought with money did not work. As people poured out of the ballroom, Tang Cheng felt depressed secretly. Turning his head and looking around, Tang Cheng suddenly had an idea in his mind. There was a shooting at the MGM Ballroom, one of the best dance halls in the concession. After receiving the news, the patrol office of the concession immediately sent people over. It's just that they arrived a little late. Not only were the people who fired the shots in the dance hall long gone, but there were also a lot fewer guests and dancers who were originally having fun in the dance hall.

Among the group of people who were shot, two were seriously injured, one died, and the remaining two were unscathed. The people in the patrol room kept shouting because they were from the Shanghai Special Higher Education School. The shooting involved the Japanese, and the victim was a member of the Special High School. The concession patrol officers who rushed to the scene could only report the situation while trying their best to appease the two plainclothes from the Special High School who kept clamoring.

The injured were sent to the hospital for treatment immediately, but new problems soon arose. News was also received from the Special High School, and they also rushed to the scene. "This is an obvious act of revenge. There are four to five murderers who are cooperating with each other. This is a typical military command assassination method!" After arriving at the scene, I questioned several guests and dancers, and briefly surveyed the scene of the special high school. Plainclothes, he immediately came to a conclusion.

Having made a judgment and conclusion, the plainclothes officer from the special high school class also included the two people who were noisy on the dance floor as suspects. In the past assassination operations of military commanders, these two men who used quarreling to attract other people's attention were often an important link in the entire assassination operation. At this moment, Tang Cheng did not leave. When the people from the patrol room came over, Tang Cheng, who had already changed his clothes, was mixed in with the crowd watching the excitement on the street.

Tang Cheng's wait was not in vain. He finally waited for the people from the Extra High School class. He watched the gloomy-looking plainclothes Super High Class students file into the dance hall. Tang Cheng, who was mixed in the crowd, quietly backed away and then disappeared into the shadows on the street. . About half an hour later, the plainclothes members of the Extra High School Class who had surveyed the scene in the dance hall came out of the dance hall in twos and threes. They were preparing to take away the body in the dance hall.

The concession patrols who were maintaining order outside the dance hall didn't want to have anything to do with the people from the extra-high school class. They wanted the bodies in the dance hall to be taken away by the other party. But just as the body wrapped in a sheet was carried out of the dance hall, the police officers gathered outside the dance hall suddenly heard a gunshot. Among the four plainclothesmen from the Special High School who were carrying the body, one of them fell backwards on his back at the moment the gunshots were heard.

The sharp-eyed patrol officer turned around at this moment and saw a stream of blood arrows spraying out from the upper body of the fallen plainclothes agent. The sudden scene made the plainclothes agents outside the ballroom, the concession patrol officers and the large group of onlookers all dumbfounded. "Bang!" There was another gunshot, and then it was as if someone pressed a switch. The originally silent dance hall suddenly became chaotic outside. With shouts and shouts, first of all, the passers-by who were watching began to run in all directions. .

The passers-by who were watching the excitement ran away first, followed by those patrolling the concession who did not want to get into trouble. The third gunshot was heard, and only the people from the extra-high school class were left outside the dance hall. "Baga! These cowardly guys are so abominable!" After three consecutive gunshots, three people were shot and fell outside the dance hall, and all three people who were shot were people from the special high school. Even if he is mentally ill, he should have realized at this time that someone is here to shoot and attack the plainclothes agents of these extra-high-level courses.

"Uncle Cao, are we just going to watch like this? If too many Japanese die, I'm afraid we will be in trouble!" Among the concession patrols who had retreated to the street, a young patrolman with a stunned look on his face seemed to Feeling unwilling. But as soon as he finished speaking, instead of getting the support of his colleagues around him, he was given a slap in the face by the old patrolman whom he called Uncle Cao.

"What nonsense are you talking about! You didn't even look at what we were using! Besides, the people who died over there were all Japanese, what does that have to do with us? It didn't say above that the Japanese can come in and out of the concession with weapons at will!" "Uncle Cao looked at the little patrolman next to him with a look of hatred on his face. "It's not easy for your parents to raise you like this! Don't think that just because you have learned Kung Fu for a few days, you are invincible. Anyone who dares to go against Japan is definitely not an ordinary person."

Tang Cheng, who Uncle Cao said was definitely not an ordinary person, was squatting on the roof opposite the dance hall. He secretly activated his light body skills. Before those plainclothes students from the special high school walked out of the dance hall, he had already used his skills and flying claws. Quickly climbed up to the roof opposite the dance hall. Tang Cheng, who was condescending, fired continuously, successfully knocking down more than four special high school plainclothes officers in just a few breaths before the other party had time to take precautions.

Night was Tangcheng's best cover. Even the plainclothesmen from the Special High School who were trapped outside the ballroom door had already determined the direction and location of Tangcheng based on the direction in which the bullets were fired. But those plainclothes men were equipped with pistols, and if they wanted to fight back against Tang Cheng, they could only hold up their guns and shoot upwards. In this case, they would inevitably be exposed to Tang Cheng's sight and become the next ones. The target was knocked over.

Tang Cheng, who had already activated the triple eyepiece skill, had a commanding advantage. Although he was using a bolt-action rifle with a slow rate of fire, he still succeeded one after another, causing the plainclothes members of the special high school class outside the ballroom to suffer. After firing out two bullet bridges in a row, Tang Cheng did not pay attention to the killing effect, but chose to leave the roof immediately because he could faintly hear the sound of sirens getting closer and closer.

These plainclothes super high school students who were shot looked down upon the timid and fearful concession patrolmen, but what they did not expect was that it was the concession patrolmen who saved them in the end. A large number of concession patrols came here. Following the instructions provided by the remaining plainclothes officers, the patrols searched the building across the street. Unfortunately, they did not find the target, but found some bullet casings on the roof. and a cigarette butt.
