Oops! Under the illumination of the flashlight, the doorless safe exuded a strong smell of money. Tang Cheng did not expect that this guy named Joseph would put so much money in the safe. The safe may not look big in size, but it is divided into three layers. There are two rows of large yellow croaker gold bars stacked neatly on the upper layer. On the middle floor, there were neatly stacked banknotes. Tang Cheng randomly picked out a few and found that they were all foreign currencies such as US dollars and British pounds.
Tang Cheng, who was overjoyed, did not waste time to count the specific number of gold bars and banknotes in the safe. He just immediately put all these gold bars and banknotes into his personal equipment bag. As for the bottom layer of the safe, it was designed like a drawer. Tang Cheng slowly opened the iron drawer and found that there were only two flannel pockets and two file bags in the drawer. Have you never heard that foreigners also like jade? Tang Cheng opened one of the flannel pockets and found that it contained two pieces of jadeite the size of a baby's fist and in excellent condition.
The other flannel pocket contained a dozen sapphires of the same excellent quality. Although Tang Cheng didn't know much about gems, he could tell that these sapphires should be worth a lot of money. Jade and gemstones should be worth a lot of money. Tang Cheng put the two flannel pockets into his own equipment bag with a happy face. At this moment, there were only two kraft paper portfolios left in the lower drawer of the safe. Tang Cheng reached out to pick up the portfolios, only to find that there were no words on them.
Joseph might return at any time, so Tang Cheng, who was in a small building, did not dare to turn on the lights and could only activate the triple eyepiece skill. The triple eyepiece skill is really useful. The originally dark study room is now as clear as day to Tang Cheng's eyes. Tang Cheng opened one of the file bags, and the contents inside made Tang Cheng's face change greatly, and he couldn't help but curse. The file bag that Tang Cheng opened contained a list of names, and Tang Cheng happened to know one of the names.
When Tang Cheng came to Shanghai for the second time, Bai Zhanshan, who was determined to climb higher, was appointed as the acting station chief of the Shanghai Juntong Station. Although Tang Cheng had little contact with Bai Zhanshan, he had met Bai Zhanshan several times. The name Tang Cheng recognized at this moment happened to be one of Bai Zhanshan's cronies. When Tang Cheng met Bai Zhanshan in the concession, the person on the list was with Bai Zhanshan.
Tang Cheng has no way to confirm the authenticity of this list now, but there are names he is familiar with on it, as well as the current identities and occupations of these names. Tang Cheng feels that this list does not seem to be fake. From the beginning to the end, Tang Cheng was very concerned about keeping a certain distance from the military commander. Although he followed Zhang Jianghe to the military commander's headquarters many times, he did not know much about the military commander's situation, especially the military commander's out-of-town stations.
After putting the list back into the file bag, Tang Cheng did not immediately open another file bag, but fell into deep thought. If you think about it carefully, no matter whether this list is true or false, at least the foreigner named Joseph knows the origin of this list. If this foreigner named Joseph only regards this list as a business, then the only two parties willing to buy this list from Joseph are the Military Command Shanghai Station and the Shanghai Special High School.
The purpose of the Juntong Shanghai Station's willingness to pay to buy this list is naturally to prevent the people on the list from being exposed, and the Japanese purchase of the list is naturally to prepare for the encirclement and suppression of the Juntong Shanghai Station. Thinking of this, Tang Cheng immediately took out a Luger pistol and a silencer from his equipment bag. Regardless of whether the list was true or false, he would not allow this guy named Joseph to live anymore. Time passed slowly while waiting. Hans's two men waiting at the street entrance outside the dance hall finally saw the drunken Joseph and others coming out of the dance hall.
According to Tang Cheng's plan, Hans's two men were watching Joseph's whereabouts outside the ballroom. As long as they found signs of the target returning to his residence, they would drive back first and use the car horn to sound the alarm for Tang who was hiding in Joseph's residence. The city issued a warning. Half an hour later, Tang Cheng, who had searched the entire building, finally heard the rhythmic sound of car horns in the street outside in the study room on the second floor.
came back! Tang Cheng was immediately cheered up, and then walked to the window of the study room, leaned against the frame of the window, and looked in the direction of the door outside the small building. After about half a cigarette, Tang Cheng saw a black car parked in front of the small building. Accompanied by a burst of laughter, a man and a woman came out of the car. Looking at their swaying figures, it was obvious that they had drunk too much. Tang Cheng, who secretly said to himself, God help me, immediately left the study. When the couple was looking for the keys and preparing to open the door, Tang Cheng had already slid down the wooden staircase handrail to the first floor.
Joseph has lived in Shanghai for more than two years. Compared with other Europeans living in Shanghai, Joseph knows that the security situation in the area where he lives is the best in Shanghai. Therefore, no matter how late he comes back, he will not feel in danger. Unfortunately, this time, he was wrong, and very wrong. With his face flushed and drunk, Joseph finally opened the door with the key, but before he could raise his right foot and step through the door, a big hand grabbed his chest and dragged him directly into the small building.
Tang Cheng, who was standing just inside the door, grabbed Joseph's shirt with his left hand and dragged him into the door. Then he made a palm with his right hand and slashed Joseph's neck with his palm. As for the dancer who came back with Joseph, Tang Cheng naturally couldn't let her go. He threw the stunned Joseph at his feet. The next moment, Tang Cheng dragged the frightened dancer into the door in the same way. Knocked out.
When Joseph woke up from his dizziness, he found that he had been firmly fixed in a chair by a rope, and a young face appeared in his sight. "You're awake!" Tang Cheng, who was sitting at the table writing and drawing on a piece of paper, saw that Joseph had woken up, so he dragged his chair and moved in front of Joseph. "You are in a very bad situation now, but if you can answer a few of my questions seriously, I might let you go!"
As he spoke, Tang Cheng, who didn't give the other party a chance to speak at all, had already stood up, moved to Tang Cheng behind the other party, and then stretched out his right hand and gently put it on Joseph's shoulder. "Listen carefully. My first question is, I heard that you have a safe at Citibank. I want to know where the key is. If you need a password to open the bank's safe, please tell me! "Tang Cheng's voice was not loud, but to Joseph's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue.
No one else knew about my renting a safe at Citibank. Could it be that there was something wrong with the bank? Joseph, who had a gun pointed at his head by Tang Cheng before, would never dare to shout loudly, so he could only think quickly in his mind at this moment. Standing behind Joseph, Tang Cheng, who had not seen the other party's answer for a long time, could only raise his left hand, put the Luger pistol in his left hand against the back of the other person's head, and spoke sternly.
"Now, let me ask the question again. If you refuse to answer, or lie to me, then I can only shoot you to death!" In order to prove that what he said is true, Tang Cheng then put his right hand on the other party's shoulder. When he took it back and stretched out his right hand, there was already a rag in his right hand. Tang Cheng stuffed the rag into Joseph's mouth, then pointed the Ruger pistol in his left hand at Joseph's right thigh, and "Pfft!" was the shot.
After adding a silencer, the Ruger pistol only made a sound like a balloon exploding, but Joseph, who was horrified, saw his right thigh being penetrated by a bullet. Blood spurted out from the bullet holes. Joseph, who wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound, tensed up his body and struggled. Unfortunately, he was already fixed in the chair by the rope, so no matter how hard he struggled, he could never break free from the chair.
"If you refuse to answer my question, then in the next shot, the bullet will pierce your head just like it did just now." Joseph, who had the pistol pressed against the back of his head again, was about to cry at this time. The shot that hit him in the thigh just now was obviously a lesson taught to him by the man behind him, or it could also be said to be a warning. But Joseph, who was already panicking, was thinking about answering the other party's questions honestly. The other party would not let him go in the end.
"I ask again, where is the key to the bank safe? Do you need a password to open the bank safe?" Tang Cheng, who had already failed to use the skill once, repeated the question again. Fortunately, Joseph, who was in a state of panic, cooperated and recalled the relevant content in his mind. Although he still gritted his teeth and did not say anything, Tang Cheng had already activated his system skills and got what he wanted.
After using system skills to successfully copy relevant memory fragments from Joseph's mind, Tang Cheng did not immediately walk out from behind Joseph. With his eyes closed, he secretly opened the memory fragment he had just copied through the system. Tang Cheng immediately knew where the bank safe key was hidden by Joseph. He had gotten what he wanted, but Tang Cheng had no intention of leaving immediately, because before leaving, he had one more thing that he needed Joseph to solve for him.
"Since you don't want to answer this question, then we can change the question!" Tang Cheng's voice sounded again behind Joseph. "In the safe in your study, there is a list of military commanders! What I want to ask is, where did you get this list? What do you want this list for? Are you giving it to the Japanese or selling it back to Japan? Military commander?" This question in Tangcheng at this moment made Joseph even more frightened and uneasy. Even though he was tied with a rope, he was still shaking uncontrollably.
