The middle-aged woman and the man in a short shirt who were being followed walked along the street for less than half a block before turning into a tailor shop on the street. If it were someone else who was following these two people at this moment, they would have no choice but to wait outside the store when encountering this situation. But Tang Cheng was different, because he had the system in hand. Tang Cheng, who was less than 20 meters away from the tailor shop, suddenly showed a strange color on his face, because the system prompted that the target was locked, and it was still there after entering the tailor shop. On the move.
The tailor shop has a back door! This is the only explanation Tang Cheng can think of at this moment. Otherwise, how could the two people who entered the tailor shop still be moving! At this moment, Tang Cheng didn't know if there was anything wrong with this tailor shop. He only knew that he could never follow him in. He secretly noted the location of the tailor shop. Tang Cheng immediately accelerated his movement and followed the system prompts to walk quickly towards the street intersection in front of him. Go.
The two people who passed through the tailor's shop and entered the alleyway were traveling in the same direction as Tangcheng. They did not expect that even if they passed through the tailor's shop and entered the alleyway, they still could not escape tracking. Tang Cheng, who accelerated his movement, reached the street intersection in front of him and stopped to confirm the target locked by the system's skills. After not changing the direction of movement at this moment, he turned right and entered the horizontal street.
About two or three minutes later, the middle-aged woman and the man in short shirts came out of the alley on the street. After seeing the two people coming out of the alley, without looking around, he walked directly across the street and entered the hotel opposite. Tang Cheng knew that this hotel might be the destination for these two people. Tang Cheng, who confirmed that the two had entered the hotel, did not follow them immediately. Instead, he left a mark under the wall on the street and went to the restaurant across the street.
It was not lunch time, so there were only three or two customers in the restaurant, so Tang Cheng happened to choose a seat next to the window facing the street. Tang Cheng, who was sitting by the window, casually ordered some food and then focused his attention on the hotel across the street. The man and woman who entered the hotel never came out, and Tang Cheng had already seen several members of the search team who followed the marks. Seeing his team members appear, Tang Cheng in the restaurant did not say anything, but secretly signed in sign language when one of the team members looked over.
The team member who saw Tang Cheng through the window was overjoyed. Seeing the sign language played by Tang Cheng, the team member understood it and immediately notified other teammates who came over. Soon, two team members pretending to be husband and wife left. Entered the hotel across the street. The hotel that Tang Cheng and the others were staring at was not considered high-end. The three-story hotel only had about 30 rooms in total. The two team members who pretended to be a couple entered the hotel and quickly found out the location of the man and woman's room.
"Captain, the target is located on the east side of the second floor. Our people have opened a room on the second floor near the stairs. As long as they enter and leave the second floor, our people will know." Tang Cheng, who had already left the restaurant, at this moment Appearing in an attic on the back street of the hotel, through the attic window, you can see the window of the room where the target is staying. Fortunately, the target was staying on the second floor of the hotel. If the room the target had booked was on the third floor of the hotel, Tang Cheng and the others would not be able to clearly see the conditions of the rooms on the third floor of the hotel from the attic they were currently in.
After listening to the reports from his team members, Tang Cheng only pondered for a moment before speaking. "Although that woman is middle-aged, she doesn't look like an ordinary person no matter how she is dressed. The man in a short shirt following her does not look like a lover who came to have a tryst with her, but more like a bodyguard. Therefore, I infer that the target is here. I'm here to meet someone at the hotel!" Tang Cheng's speculation at the moment was not supported by concrete evidence, but it was not unreasonable.
The hotel that the middle-aged woman entered has become the object of close surveillance by the search team. Until the purpose of this man and woman coming here is clear, everyone who enters and leaves the hotel will become the target of screening and investigation by Tangcheng and others. Time passed by, and there were not many people entering and exiting the hotel. The team members who rushed over to support them quickly followed their targets and left the street. Everything seemed to go smoothly.
But just when everyone thought everything was going well, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the hotel that was being closely monitored by Tang Cheng and the others, and then someone rushed out of the hotel with a pistol. The loft that Tang Cheng was in at the moment was at the back of the hotel. The man who rushed out of the hotel with a pistol appeared in front of the hotel. Therefore, although Tang Cheng reacted immediately when he heard the gunfire, he could not immediately respond. See what's happening on the front of the hotel.
"Captain, the one who shot was not one of ours, nor was he the target we were staring at!" When Tang Cheng led people around to the main entrance of the hotel, the man carrying the pistol had long disappeared. Tang Cheng's reaction was not slow. When he was stopped by his team members on the street, he had already hidden his pistol. Standing on the street, he looked no different from other passers-by watching the excitement. Tang Cheng saw the man and woman coming out of the hotel, and behind the man and woman, there was a man in a long coat wearing a top hat.
"Old Fatty, you take someone to follow the man and woman, and I'll follow the man in the top hat!" The sudden change made Tang Cheng have no time to wait for the team members from the hotel to come out, so he immediately locked onto the man in the top hat. Tang Cheng is used to deciding everything in the search team, and his team members have long been accustomed to doing things according to Tang Cheng's instructions. Moreover, they all saw the man in the top hat following the man and woman. With their experience against Japanese and puppet spies, They also all felt that the man in the top hat looked suspicious.
Of the team members scattered in this street, Tangcheng only deployed half of them to continue tracking the target. The remaining people immediately blocked the hotel and gathered the two team members who had entered the hotel before to investigate the shooting incident just now. The man in the top hat walked out of the hotel and immediately parted ways with the couple. Tang Cheng quietly followed the man in the top hat. Compared with the man and woman that Tang Cheng had followed before, this newly appeared man in a top hat seemed much more vigilant.
The man in the top hat who was being followed made counter-reconnaissance actions from time to time while traveling, which made Tang Cheng who was following him secretly happy. The other party's obvious counter-reconnaissance actions further proved that this man was no ordinary person. Tangcheng's insight skill can only be used once a day without interruption, and there is a time limit for its use. Therefore, Tang Cheng cannot use the insight skill at this moment to understand the true identity of the man in the bowler hat. However, based on Tang Cheng's inference, this suspicious man in the bowler hat is definitely not an underground party.
It was determined that the man in the top hat was the man who the man and woman met in the hotel before, and Tangcheng could not let this man go. After just following the opponent for a few blocks, Tang Cheng felt vaguely that the opponent was walking in circles. He was worried that there were companions hiding in the opponent's route, so he could only secretly use system skills to lock the opponent first. The linear locking distance of one hundred meters gave Tang Cheng great convenience, and it also reduced the chance of being discovered by the opponent.
Although the man in the top hat often made counter-reconnaissance moves along the way, Tangcheng was far away and the man in the top hat did not realize that he was being followed. After walking around for almost an hour, the man in the top hat finally turned into a street he had never walked before, and under Tang Cheng's eyes, he walked into a tea shop on the street. Tang Cheng was alone at the moment, so it was impossible to break in and arrest people directly, but he didn't wait.
According to the prompts given by the system, the top hat man who was locked by the system's skills did not move significantly after entering the tea shop. Tangcheng, who was not sure that the tea shop was a contact point, could only choose to go around to the back of the tea shop, then climb up the street wall next to the roof. Qian Qinnian, who was sitting in the back hall of the tea shop at the moment, did not know that danger was approaching him. He had just received the confidential information and was looking at the box that the tea shop owner took out without blinking an eye.
The box the tea shop owner took out was wooden and looked ordinary, but when the box was placed on the table, Qian Qinnian could already feel the weight of the box. Qian Qinnian's expectant look at this moment made the tea shop owner secretly despise him, but he still opened the box under Qian Qinnian's expectant eyes. The contents of the box did not exceed Qian Qinnian's expectations. He had never thought that the color of gold could be so lovely.
"As we agreed before, here are 12 large yellow croakers, 10 of which are for buying passes, and the extra 2. We want a piece of information on the action team directly under the military command." The tea shop owner stretched out his hand to fill the bag The box of gold bars was slowly pushed along the table to Qian Qinnian's hand. However, Qian Qinnian, who was originally looking greedy, suddenly withdrew his right hand that was about to touch the box.
"Boss Yu, your request is different from what we agreed before!" Qian Nian, who took back his hand, took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette for himself and started smoking slowly. When the tea shop owner saw Qian Qinnian's appearance, he didn't know that the other party was going to take the opportunity to increase the price. But judging from the way Qian Qinnian entered the store just now, he must have gotten the pass he wanted, so at this time, he must not offend Qian Qinnian.
"Mr. Qian, you and I are both businessmen. As long as there is no problem with your goods, I can increase the price at any time until you are satisfied." The tea shop owner did not want to waste time with a greedy guy like Qian Qinnian. , so while responding to Qian Qinnian, he opened the drawer beside him, took out a box from the drawer and opened it, which still contained gold bars. "Add 10 more gold bars. This is my final bottom line! If you still think it's not possible, Mr. Qian, then I can only find someone else!"
