Zhang Jianghe's expected trouble did not actually occur. The military commander also knew that Tang Cheng and the others were arresting people. Although some people would secretly look at Tang Cheng and the others from time to time, they did not openly make things difficult for Tang Cheng. City and their affairs. The investigation operation lasted for two days. Tang Cheng also secretly used his system skills to continuously discover and capture more than 10 Japanese spies and three traitor insiders among those who underwent identity investigation.

"Old Zhang, that nephew of yours is really good!" When Zhang Jianghe arrived at the military command headquarters, none of the officers participating in the meeting dared to look at Zhang Jianghe coldly, and they all came up to say hello to Zhang Jianghe. There were quite a few Japanese and puppet spies caught by the military commander, but no one could capture more than ten Japanese and puppet spies and traitorous insiders in just two days like Tang Cheng did. In addition, there are rumors in the military command headquarters that the bureau chief values ​​Zhang Jianghe's nephew very much, and these guys want to establish a relationship with Zhang Jianghe's uncle first.

Zhang Jianghe, who knew it well, did not show a cold face to these guys who came to build relationships. After all, he wanted to use these guys to find out the confidential information within the military system! After saying hello to everyone, Zhang Jiang sat down with a few acquaintances. A few minutes later, he saw that he was belatedly arriving at the bureau seat with a good look. "Everyone did a good job in this investigation. The Chairman of the Generalissimo has a lot of praise for our military commander. I hope everyone will not be proud and pay more attention to their duties!"

The cunning bureau chief did not praise Zhang Jianghe in public. Instead, after the meeting, he called Zhang Jianghe to his office alone. "Your search team did a good job this time. The chairman of the committee will issue rewards soon. The chairman also said that if he didn't know that that brat was already engaged, he would have to find a wife for that brat himself this time. Here!" The director's words may have been unintentional, but to Zhang Jianghe's ears, it had a different meaning.

Not ordinary people are lucky enough to be remembered by the chairman of the committee in the Nan'an villa. Maybe the chairman was just a joke, but Zhang Jianghe did not dare to take it lightly. The bureau chief called Zhang Jianghe to his office alone. Naturally, he had a task to give him, and the bureau chief planned to hide this task from the people at the military command headquarters. "According to the tip, a batch of arms has flowed into Chongqing city. We don't know the size and whereabouts of this batch of arms now. I hope your search team can take over this case!"

A batch of unknown size and quantity of arms appeared in Chongqing. This matter can be big or small. For the bureau in charge of the military command, this matter must be investigated clearly, but for Zhang Jianghe, he hopes more for this batch of arms. Finally, it can fall into the hands of the underground party. Zhang Jianghe went to the military headquarters to start, but he came back with a confusing task. Tangcheng, who was called to Zhang Jianghe's office, said that the task was very difficult.

"Uncle, when Zhou Zheng was cracking down on the black market last time, his methods were too harsh. Now those robe brothers in the city are not willing to deal with us! Without the channels and help of these robe brothers, it would be difficult for us to find out about this batch of arms. Relevant news! Especially the time you gave him is so short!" Tang Cheng rolled his eyes secretly when he heard this. His words were not complaining to Zhang Jianghe, but this was the fact.

Having been with Tang Cheng for so long, how could Zhang Jianghe not know Tang Cheng's nature? He could tell at a glance that Tang Cheng wanted to goof off, so he immediately glared at Tang Cheng and even threatened him. stand up. "I don't care about this! Besides, you proposed the previous plan to rectify the black market. It's as if you didn't take the things Zhou Zheng handed over to the military camp!" Tang Cheng, who had been exposed by Zhang Jianghe, was not angry at all. , just licking his fingers and scolding like Zhang Jianghe.

"Uncle, what you say is unreasonable! Most of the things I took away are still in the warehouse in the backyard, and the ones sold are not all for the sake of paying wages to the brothers! We Besides, you didn’t give me any clues about the matter you just mentioned. How do you ask me to investigate? Is it possible that finding out about the arms transaction is considered a task issued by the military commander? You don’t even think about it. In this city of Chongqing, Who are these people running the arms business?"

When Tang Cheng said this, Zhang Jianghe also frowned. Indeed, the bureau did not give him any clues. It would be very troublesome to trace it. If you are not careful, you may offend someone. "Then what do you think we should do? This task is from above. We can't do nothing, right?" Zhang Jianghe raised his eyes and looked at Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng didn't completely reject it just now. Zhang Jianghe knew that Tang Cheng must have something to say. Wait for yourself.

Sure enough, after Zhang Jianghe asked the question very cooperatively, Tang Cheng immediately became eloquent. "What I want to say is that you'd better make a call over there and ask about the situation first! Even if they want us to help track it down, they should at least give us some clues. You can't just be like a headless fly in the city. Are you going to mess around?" Tang Cheng didn't know whether the mission Zhang Jianghe brought back was a new round of testing by the military commander, so the suggestions he gave did not have any special requirements.

Zhang Jianghe was silent for a while, thinking about Tang Cheng's suggestion in his mind, then picked up the phone and called the bureau chief's office. Tang Cheng had already remembered the phone number of the bureau chief's office. When he saw the phone number dialed by Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng immediately knew that Zhang Jianghe's call was for the bureau chief. Although he had not met this famous bureau lord very often, Tang Cheng had always been wary of this bureau lord. At this moment, he secretly concentrated on eavesdropping on the conversation between Zhang Jianghe and that man on the phone.

Zhang Jianghe told Tang Cheng's request on the phone, but the bureau chief on the other end of the phone did not immediately comply with Zhang Jianghe's request. He only said that he would send someone to see Zhang Jianghe later. Zhang Jianghe was unaware of this, but Tang Cheng, who was sitting nearby and secretly eavesdropping, had fully understood. It seemed that the mission Zhang Jianghe brought back was not a formal matter related to military reunification. It was probably an arms dealer. disputes among them.

Zhang Jianghe's understanding of the Chongqing black market only limited to the contents of relevant reports, but Tang Cheng had personally set foot in the Chongqing black market. Anyone who engages in black market business in Chongqing must have a backer, especially the arms trade that brings in money faster. Not everyone can do that. Tangcheng had long heard that after moving south from the military command headquarters to Chongqing, several powerful arms dealers suddenly appeared in Chongqing's arms black market.

Tangcheng, who received the news, had always suspected that these new bookmakers might be related to the military commanders, or even members of the military commanders themselves. The new task Zhang Jianghe received confirmed the conjecture in Tang Cheng's mind. He immediately had an idea in his heart. "Uncle, I have heard recently that the arms black market in the city is not peaceful. It seems that a few powerful new bookmakers have emerged and are planning to quietly monopolize the arms business in the black market!"

Seeing that Zhang Jianghe finally hung up the phone, Tang Cheng, who had been pretending to smoke, immediately dragged the chair under his buttocks and deliberately leaned next to Zhang Jianghe and whispered. "I was thinking about this when you called just now! The military command headquarters has been south to Chongqing for a day or two. It is impossible for them not to know about the arms black market. According to my familiarity with them, it is impossible for them not to be in the black market. Place your own people!"

Tang Cheng knew that Zhang Jianghe was also a smart man, so he just said some ambiguous words, but the deep meaning hidden in his words directly guided Zhang Jianghe's thinking to the military commander. Sure enough, Zhang Jianghe's expression immediately became strange, and Tang Cheng pretended not to notice and continued talking. "Since the military commander should be aware of the situation in the arms black market, why would they leave this matter to us? Tell me, is there something inside that we don't know?"

Tang Cheng's words made Zhang Jianghe raise his head. At this time, Zhang Jianghe actually had four words in his mind - black and white. As an old man in the military command, Zhang Jianghe naturally knew that the military commander was involved in smuggling business, and there were often cases of people being cheated after delivery. Tangcheng's reminder and guidance from Yunshan at this moment made Zhang Jianghe think of those three words involuntarily. After looking up at Tang Cheng, the suspicion in Zhang Jianghe's heart not only did not disappear, but became more suspicious.

"You kid, do you know something?" Zhang Jianghe flicked the cigarette on the table to Tang Cheng's hand with a flick of his finger. The latter was not polite at all and directly grabbed the cigarette and lit one for himself. He had half smoked a cigarette, but Zhang Jianghe didn't wait for Tang Cheng's answer. Just when he was about to glare at Tang Cheng threateningly, Tang Cheng, who pretended to only be focusing on smoking, suddenly grinned.

"Uncle, do you think you can keep staring at me? If you just stare, this little sweetheart of mine will be frightened!" Tang Cheng said he was scared, but there was a look on his face. The playful look on his face made Zhang Jianghe feel angry, and he raised his hand and gave Tang Cheng a chestnut. "Ah! It hurts so much!" Tang Cheng, who had been beaten, stretched out his hand to rub his forehead with an innocent look on his face, looking at Zhang Jianghe with eyes full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

With Tang Cheng's current state, coaxing others might be effective, but against Zhang Jianghe, it was of no use at all. Under the threat of Zhang Jianghe's eyes, Tang Cheng could only rub his forehead and speak with aggrieved expression. "I have long heard that these new dealers that have emerged in the arms black market are related to the military! I have always been worried that this rumor is true, so I ignored it. If I offend them, there will be no good fruits! "
