The search team captured another Japanese spy in the city, and the person they caught has been handed over to the military command headquarters. Before the good mood of the bureau had dissipated, they received news again, and the search team came out again. It was obvious that there was a big operation. The bureau chief was very thoughtful, and after a little thought, he already guessed that this must be Tang Cheng's handiwork. Zhang Jianghe had a calm personality and would not make such a drastic move. Sure enough, Zhang Jianghe, who received the call, spoke frankly about the search team's outpouring, saying that this was Tang Cheng's plan.
"Tell that guy, when you do things in the future, don't think that everything comes out one after another!" The bureau chief didn't ask Zhang Jianghe the answer he wanted, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He just waited for him to hang up the phone. After that, I suddenly realized that I had just gotten angry with Zhang Jianghe on the phone. While the bureau chief was secretly blaming himself, Zhang Jianghe, who had also just put down the phone, was driving the grinning Tang Cheng out of his office with a look of boredom.
When the bureau chief called, Tang Cheng happened to be in Zhang Jianghe's office. Hearing Zhang Jianghe's half-truths and half-false responses to the bureau chief's inquiries on the phone, Tang Cheng just wanted to snicker secretly. Tang Cheng, who left Zhang Jianghe's office, did not stay in the military camp because he knew that the bureau chief had called to inquire about the search team's actions, which meant that the search team's overwhelming presence had attracted the attention of the military commander. If he didn't show up in the city, the bureau chief might think Zhang Jianghe was deceiving him. In order to avoid this trouble, Tang Cheng had to show up in the city.
As the war ahead continues to change, the number of residents in Chongqing also changes from time to time. It is not only the wealthy who are going south to Chongqing to seek refuge, but also countless refugees from the north. The increase in the number of people in the city is not only a challenge to the city's security environment, but also creates trouble for the search team's daily operations in the city. When Tang Cheng, Lao Fu and others met together, several of Lao Fu's team members were complaining to Lao Fu in low voices.
"Second uncle, it's really not that we didn't do our best. If it weren't for the refugees blocking the road at the street corner, how could we have lost our target!" The young man speaking at this moment is Lao Fu's nephew Zhou Shan, who is following everyone. Among the team members, Zhou Shan's abilities are pretty good. If it weren't for Zhou Shan's young age and his usual glib tone, Zhou Shan might have been promoted from an ordinary member to the leader of the tracking team.
"It's useless to say this, I only know that you have lost someone!" Lao Fu said with a straight face, no matter what Zhou Shan explained, Lao Fu kept saying the same sentence over and over again. Zhou Shan turned his face in desperation, and just in time to see Tang Cheng approaching, he immediately pulled the other two people in the same group with him, greased the soles of his feet and walked away quickly. Lao Fu also saw Tang Cheng at this moment. Lao Fu, who was originally upset because he had lost his target, had to cheer up and informed Tang Cheng about the missing target.
"It's just that we missed a target! It's not a big deal. Just ask them to pay attention in the future!" Tang Cheng's reaction was beyond Lao Fu's expectation. He was not furious because Zhou Shan and the others lost their target. "I came here to tell you that if someone comes to see me at the military camp, you can tell me that I went to follow the target! Let's meet at the reception building during lunch!" Tang Cheng didn't want to waste time with Lao Fu at all. , just gave a casual warning and left alone.
Tang Cheng was not with Lao Fu and the others, not because he had other things to do. Instead, he randomly found a street teahouse and played mahjong with a few old men. After Tang Cheng returned to Chongqing from Shanghai for the second time, he had been so busy that he never had a real rest. Today, he took advantage of this opportunity and planned to take a good rest. Tang Cheng disappeared after entering the city. Zhang Jianghe, who sent people to look for him, couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he couldn't find Tang Cheng. He never expected that Tang Cheng was actually playing mahjong in a teahouse on the street.
The whole morning, Tang Cheng played mahjong in the teahouse. It was not until lunch that he rushed to the Huibin Building to meet Lao Fu and the others. In the confession given by He Xiong, there were more than 20 people who had interacted with him. Even if the search team was mobilized, it would be impossible to monitor everyone. So after some discussion, Lao Fu and the others decided to focus their surveillance on the seven people bribed by He Xiong. Just one morning passed, and Lao Fu and the others made no progress in their secret surveillance.
"I think you guys have been too smooth sailing before. How could you possibly gain anything by just targeting them?" In the private room on the second floor of Huibin Building, Tang Cheng saw the helpless look of Lao Fu and others. He couldn't help but lecture him. "Think about it for yourselves, if every surveillance and tracking operation goes smoothly, then no matter how many Japanese and puppet spies there are in this city, I'm afraid they won't be enough for us to catch! You guys! I think it's just a daydream. Too much!"
Tang Cheng's joke made Lao Fu and others laugh out loud after looking at each other. The search team's actions have never failed, which made Lao Fu and the others faintly arrogant. Tang Cheng's words just now gave them a warning. . "Captain, our people are all focused on He Xiong's matter. Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid there won't be any results in a short time! I'm worried that He Xiong's arrest won't be kept secret for long. By then, the military commander will Will there be any interference in this matter?"
Tang Cheng had already prepared for Lao Fu's worries, because Zhang Jianghe had already asked Tang Cheng about the same issue. These old policemen in the restaurant's private room were all people Tang Cheng could trust, so when Tang Cheng gave his answer, he didn't make any pretense or say anything ambiguous. "To tell you the truth, when I got He Xiong's confession, I felt that this was a case that would cause trouble! Most of the people implicated by He Xiong were people from the city government. Once the lid was lifted, the city government There will definitely be too much pressure and criticism, and there may even be an internal investigation against them."
"You are all locals in Chongqing. I don't believe you don't know who are the people in the city government! These people who sit in the office and play with pens have no other skills. They are very capable of shirk responsibilities! Military Commander, they can't be messed with. Well, those of us involved in this matter are probably the best people to vent their anger on! They may not be able to do anything to those of us with guns, but don’t forget, you still have family members living in this city. , this is our weakness!"
When Tang Cheng said before that the city government might shirk responsibility, Lao Fu and others did not understand the deep meaning of Tang Cheng's words. Only when Tang Cheng mentioned the weakness did Lao Fu and others finally understand. "The search team came out in full force. This was actually just a way for me to attract the attention of the military commander. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find a place to play mahjong all morning!" Tang Cheng's words made Lao Fu and others into an uproar. They could Unexpectedly, after Tang Cheng separated from them, he went to find a place to play mahjong.
"Don't pay too much attention to playing mahjong! What I mean is that He Xiong's case will be taken over by the military commander sooner or later, but we still have to work hard on the posture we have to make, and we must not let the military commander see any flaws! "Lao Fu and the others are all smart people. Tang Cheng has already said this. How could Lao Fu and others not react yet. "That's right, I'm just going to transfer He Xiong's matter to the hands of the military commander. We can't afford to offend those in the city government, but the military commander can!"
Tang Cheng has already made his words clear. Although Lao Fu and others are still a little reluctant to give up, but after carefully considering what Tang Cheng said just now, they all agree that the search team cannot afford to offend the city government at the moment. Since he couldn't afford to offend him, the best way was to pick him out first. Even if the city government was under internal investigation because of He Xiong's case, they would not be able to vent their anger on the search team again. "Captain, since we want to hand He Xiong over to the military commander, why do we waste so much time and energy?"
It was one thing for Lao Fu and the others to understand in their hearts, but it was another thing not to want to see a great achievement slip away in vain. Someone immediately asked Tang Cheng about their doubts. Tang Cheng just smiled softly when he heard this, "I have said before that the military commanders cannot be underestimated. If we don't use some small tricks, how could they rush to take over He Xiong's case! What I just said, As long as you know, don’t tell anyone else yet.”
Because of Tang Cheng's instructions, Lao Fu and the others continued to monitor and track those key targets according to their previous action steps after lunch. In the afternoon, Lao Fu's team members noticed that someone from the military command was around, and immediately reported the situation to Lao Fu. "Sure enough, the captain was right. The military commander really sent someone!" Several veteran police officers who were with Lao Fu gathered together. The situation reported by their team members was basically consistent with what Tang Cheng had said before.
Because of Tang Cheng's previous reminders and explanations, Lao Fu and the others naturally pretended not to know anything. Moreover, no one from the military command came to reveal their identity. At the end of the tracking in the evening, several tracking groups scattered in the city reported that people from the military command had appeared around them. "Look! I was right! I just said that the headquarters will not ignore our actions!" In Zhang Jianghe's office, Tang Cheng grinned.
"What do you really want?" Zhang Jianghe couldn't understand what Tang Cheng's purpose was. If he was just worried about retaliation from the city government and wanted to transfer He Xiong's case to the military command headquarters, he could just report the situation directly. , where is the need to do so many things? Tang Cheng's reaction at this moment made Zhang Jianghe instinctively feel that this boy must not have been thinking carefully. Facing Zhang Jianghe's inquiry, Tang Cheng, who smiled lightly, just shook his head and said nothing. The intention of the military command headquarters was not obvious yet, and it was still too early to reveal the answer.
