During the Republic of China, after banks banned ocean circulation, gold became the hard currency on the market. According to the current market conditions. Although Tang Cheng didn't know how many banknotes or in-demand goods could be exchanged for 2 tons of gold, he knew that it was definitely not a small amount. "How many people know this news?" In order to extract more detailed information from the obese man, Tang Cheng deliberately lowered the muzzle of his gun when he spoke, making it look as if his attitude had softened.
Seeing Tang Cheng's action of lowering the muzzle of the gun, the obese man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In order to survive, the obese man told Tang Cheng all about the process of getting this information. When the news about the gold came to light, no one else knew about it except the people in front of them and the top brass at the Military Police Headquarters. Tang Cheng moved his fingers slightly and fired two shots, knocking the obese man and the young secretary-looking woman next to him to the floor.
"Only the dead can keep secrets best!" Tang Cheng suddenly killed the obese man and the young woman, and immediately put all the banknotes and gold bars on the table into his equipment bag. Because of the news about the gold, Tang Cheng, who was originally planning to raid other trading companies tonight, hurriedly left Futian Trading Company and quietly returned to the New Asia Hotel. After a simple wash, Tang Cheng, lying on the bed, thought to himself that since he knew about the gold, he would never allow the Japanese to take away the gold.
But the gold is now stored in the basement of the Gendarmerie Headquarters. Even if Tang Cheng can sneak into the Gendarmerie Headquarters and find this batch of gold, with his carry-on equipment bag that can only hold a dozen kilograms at most, it will be impossible even if he is exhausted. 2 tons of gold were transferred out. If the military vehicle transporting gold to the dock was stopped halfway, Tang Cheng alone would not be able to transport the gold out of Hongkou District.
Lying in bed, Tang Cheng repeatedly deduced the actions in his mind, but no matter how he planned and deduced, he could not solve the last step, that is, how to transport the gold out of Hongkou District. Time passed slowly as Tang Cheng repeatedly deduced, and until Tang Cheng fell asleep, he failed to solve the final problem. Someone died at Futian Trading Company, and the safe in the manager's office was empty. It looked like it had been looted. The news spread quickly in Hongkou District.
"Baga! This damn ghost, this is deliberately provoking!" Everyone in the special high school class who learned about this had an expression of indignation. In the attack on the Army Hospital, although the whereabouts and traces of the attacker have not yet been found, after analysis and inference by the trace experts of the Special High School, both the Military Police Headquarters and the Special High School felt that the person who attacked the Army Hospital was It's the ghost gunman mentioned in the secret files of the Special High School.
It's a pity that no matter how diligently the gendarmerie troops conducted comprehensive investigations, they were still unable to find the whereabouts of the ghost gunman in Hongkou District. Now another case of Futian Trading Co., Ltd. has appeared. The investigation has not yielded any results, so the special high school can only pin this case on the head of the ghost gunman. The comprehensive investigation by the gendarmerie lasted for almost a day and two nights. After lunch the next day, the tightly sealed Hongkou District was ordered to be lifted. Tangcheng also took the opportunity to leave Hongkou District and rush back to the concession.
After Tang Cheng returned to the concession, he did not return to his residence immediately. Instead, he went to Sanyuan Bookstore. Huang Sanyuan had not seen Tang Cheng for the past few days, and Huang Sanyuan was a little worried. Especially after learning about the incident at the Japanese Army Hospital, Huang Sanyuan secretly speculated that the incident might be related to Tang Cheng. When Tang Cheng opened the door and entered the bookstore, Huang Sanyuan was holding a cup of tea and was in a daze. When he heard the bell above the store door ringing, Huang Sanyuan turned his head and saw Tang Cheng walking in.
"What have you been doing these days? Are the things in Hongkou District related to you?" Huang Sanyuan, who has been thinking secretly, really has too many questions to ask Tangcheng. Suddenly he saw Tang Cheng appear, and he and Tang Cheng were the only two people in the bookstore, so Huang Sanyuan seemed to be out of control, asking Tang Cheng one question after another. After hearing this, Tang Cheng did not answer immediately. Instead, he grabbed the teapot and empty teacup in front of Huang Sanyuan and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
After sitting down with a tea cup, Tang Cheng spoke, but as soon as he spoke, Huang Sanyuan almost lost his breath. "I just got news that the Japanese have stored a batch of gold at the Military Police Headquarters in Hongkou District. They are planning to transport this batch of gold back to Japan by sea in the near future. It is said that the total amount of this batch of gold is 2 tons!" Hongkou District There are 2 tons of gold in it, which is really exciting news.
Huang Sanyuan was silent for a long time with a dull look on his face before he finally came to his senses. The most money he had ever seen in his life was only fifty yuan. Huang Sanyuan really didn't know how many oceans 2 tons of gold could exchange for. "Is your news accurate?" After a while, Huang Sanyuan asked Tang Cheng in a dry voice. The latter did not speak when he heard this, but just rolled his eyes at Huang Sanyuan.
"I can intercept this batch of gold by myself, but how to safely transport so much gold out of Hongkou District is a troublesome matter!" Tang Cheng put down the tea cup in his hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket, regardless of Huang Sanyuan's He signaled, lit one for himself and started smoking. "I plan to cooperate with you on this batch of gold! I bought the information with money. I can guarantee the accuracy, and I will operate it when the gold is intercepted. What you need to do is to find a temporary location in Hongkou District. Where gold is stored.”
Hearing Tang Cheng's last words, Huang Sanyuan's reaction was not too slow. With joy on his face, he slapped his thigh and said with an excited smile. "That's right! Since gold is unlucky to leave Hongkou District, then we won't transport it out and hide it in Hongkou District first! Just hide the gold in the Japanese's lair. This is called black under the lamp. The Japanese will definitely Unexpected!" As soon as Huang Sanyuan said these words, Tangcheng knew that the Shanghai underground party organization should also have a secret base in Hongkou District.
Tang Cheng didn't stay at Sanyuan Bookstore for long, because Huang Sanyuan, who had something on his mind, closed the bookstore early and went to report the situation to his liaison officer. With nothing to do, Tang Cheng could only go back to the apartment building to rest, take stock of what he had gained last night, and take care of the weapons and equipment he was about to use. Tang Cheng didn't know how Huang Sanyuan reported to his superiors. When he went to the bookstore again at noon the next day, just by looking at Huang Sanyuan's expression, Tang Cheng knew that the cooperation with the Shanghai underground party organization should be completed.
"We have a contact point in Hongkou District. According to what you said, we have sent people into Hongkou District in batches early this morning." Huang Sanyuan poured tea for Tangcheng while making arrangements for Shanghai's underground party organizations. Notified to Tangcheng. "By noon today, we will arrange for three groups of people to enter Hongkou District and dig a cellar in the yard of the contact point. Once you succeed, our people will cooperate with you to hide the gold in the cellar and seal it."
The solution that the Shanghai underground party organization came up with was to bury and seal it on the spot, and then wait for the news to pass, and then break it into pieces and transport the gold from Hongkou District to the concession or the rear area. Tang Cheng is not interested in this. He is interested in how to cause trouble for the extra-high school. "Now that we have reached a cooperative relationship, there are some things that need to be agreed upon first. I am only responsible for intercepting the gold. As for how to hide the gold in the future, I Don’t care and don’t interfere.”
"According to the rules of the road, we will divide this batch of gold into four and six. I will suffer a little loss. You will get six and I will get four. After the gold is cut off, it will be impossible to transport it out of Hongkou District for a while, and I will not be able to wait for a long time. In Shanghai. So, I thought of a compromise. I allow you to use antique calligraphy and paintings to pay the bill. I want all the old calligraphy and paintings and rare ancient books. Good jewelry is also acceptable, so I will use what I deserve. Just exchange it for gold."
Huang Sanyuan had not thought of Tangcheng's ability to tell a 40-60 split account in advance. After all, this information was provided by Tang Cheng, and it was also Tang Cheng's contribution to intercepting the gold. The result of the Shanghai underground party organization's discussion last night was a 50-50 split with Tang Cheng. . Then he heard that Tangcheng had agreed to use antique calligraphy, paintings and rare books to pay off the debt. Huang Sanyuan was already happy. After all, gold is the hard currency in the market.
"I will go to Hongkou District early tomorrow morning, so if you have any other requests, suggestions or ideas, it is best to make a decision today. I will come to your place again in the evening to hear the results." I have learned about the Shanghai Underground Party from Huang Sanyuan After the organization's rough deployment, Tang Cheng's heart was completely relaxed. With the participation of the Shanghai underground party organization, he became more confident in seizing this batch of gold. It's just that the action hasn't started yet. It's too early to say anything now. Everything will have to wait until we enter Hongkou District before the situation becomes completely clear.
Tang Cheng left the bookstore and immediately went to the place where he made his own shoes, and got his own custom-made shoes. Tang Cheng did not return to his residence immediately, but wandered around the French Concession. Compared with the past few days, there have been a lot fewer plainclothes agents appearing in the concession from time to time. However, Tangcheng did not relax its vigilance, because there were fewer plainclothes agents, but there were many more men in short shirts who looked like gang members on the streets.
Tang Cheng's current focus was on intercepting the batch of gold, so he had no plans to cause trouble in the concession. He found a random cafe and sat down. Through the street window of the cafe, Tang Cheng secretly observed the situation on the street outside. Whenever he saw gang members appearing, Tang Cheng would observe them carefully. After he was busy with the gold matter, these gang members in the concession who were willing to work for the Japanese would become his new targets.
