Half an hour later, Tang Cheng, with a hint of joy in his expression, walked out of the izakaya. The two Japanese officers who still didn't know anything were still drinking and having fun in the izakaya. After half an hour of eavesdropping, Tang Cheng got what he wanted. According to the content of the chat between the two Japanese officers, these two guys really came to Shanghai to participate in the so-called award ceremony. From the conversation between the two of them, Tang Cheng had figured out the inside story of the awards ceremony, and the date of the awards ceremony was very close.
After leaving the izakaya, Tang Cheng immediately returned to Xinya Hotel. After checking out, Tang Cheng left Hongkou District and immediately went to find Hans. "I thought you were going to stay in Hongkou District again today!" Hans, who was checking the accounts in the restaurant office, obviously did not expect that Tang Cheng, who had asked someone to bring him a letter, would suddenly return to the concession. "Are you leaving Shanghai soon? Then I'll ask someone to get the boat tickets." Seeing Tang Cheng's expression, Hans got the wrong idea.
"I'm not leaving, but I'm going to continue to stay in Shanghai for a while, so I need you to help me arrange a temporary residence!" Tang Cheng sat down opposite Hans politely, reached out and took out a box from the table. A cigar, playing with it in hand. "In addition, I also need you to help me get some explosives. I want the best ones, preferably military ones." Tangcheng's request made Hans's eyelids jump subconsciously. There is no problem in getting explosives, Hans thought. You have to know what big disturbance Tangcheng wants to make this time.
"As you told me last time, I might have a way to sneak in to the awards ceremony that the Japanese are going to hold in Shanghai!" As soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, he saw Hans, who was looking leisurely behind the table, as if he had been caught. He jumped out of his chair as if he had been stung by a bee. Hans appeared to be a restaurateur, but in fact he was a veteran frequent visitor to the black market. He usually did a lot of information trading. How could he not know about this awards conference planned by the Japanese in Shanghai.
"Aren't you planning on holding this award ceremony this time?" Hans, with a strange expression, looked at Tang Cheng with his eyes widened, trying to see something strange in Tang Cheng's expression at this moment. It's a pity that no matter how he looked at it, Tang Cheng's expression was still the same as before, with no abnormality revealed at all. "I heard that the Japanese attach great importance to this award ceremony! If you miss it this time and fall into their hands, you will definitely end up with a bad end!"
Hans definitely did not mean to scare Tang Cheng when he said this, because according to the information obtained from insiders, the Japanese attach great importance to this award conference and will check all hidden dangers in advance to ensure the smooth progress of the conference. When Tang Cheng heard this, he looked disapproving, "Hans, we have known each other for such a long time. When have you seen me do anything that I am not sure about?" Tang Cheng's answer made Hans frown secretly. Not only did he not feel relieved, , but became more worried.
"Tang, you have already killed the person you want to kill, so you should leave Shanghai immediately! The Japanese were very tightly guarded at this award ceremony. I heard that even the water and vegetables that came in and out were carefully guarded. Check! It's impossible for you to sneak in as a Japanese expatriate, let alone escape afterwards!" As an old friend, Hans felt that he had the responsibility to persuade Tang Cheng to change his mind, because he knew that Tang Cheng Traveling all the way to the award ceremony venue, you basically never come back.
Tang Cheng, who already had an idea in mind, chuckled but did not give a specific answer. He just urged Hans to help him get enough explosives. In the next few days, Tang Cheng stayed at the residence arranged by Hans and did not go out. From time to time, he would entrust Hans to buy some wires, flashlight bulbs and some small odds and ends for himself. Hans didn't know what Tang Cheng wanted these things for, and Hans didn't ask Tang Cheng.
A few days passed quickly, and Tang Cheng, who had been staying at his residence, finally made all the preparations. In his carry-on equipment bag, he now not only had homemade time bombs, but also homemade time bombs packed in wine bottles. burning qi
g. Tang Cheng, who had made plans long ago, entered Hongkou District again the day before the award ceremony. The robbery of Kim Jong Bank and the assassination of a senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made the Special High School and the Military Police Headquarters very anxious. They used all means, but still could not find any clues about the ghost gunman.
In desperation, the Special High School and the Military Police Headquarters could only strengthen the patrol force in Hongkou District, because they were worried that the ghost gunmen would reappear for the award ceremony. If Tangcheng knew about the worries of the Special High School and the Military Police Headquarters, maybe they would give a thumbs up and praise him for being really smart! Although when he entered Tangcheng in Hongkou District again, he immediately noticed the tension in the air, but he didn't care at all, because at this moment, he entered Hongkou District with another face.
Before Tang Cheng left Chongqing, he used up all the lottery opportunities, but after he came to Shanghai, he got more than ten lottery opportunities. After successfully assassinating the intelligence agent of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that day, he returned to the hotel in Tangcheng and immediately conducted a lottery. As a result, he not only drew a new skill that doubled the ear power from the system, but he also drew a one-time system prop - which can only be used once. disguise.
Tang Cheng's previous facial disguises were all through auxiliary means and props such as oil paint, glasses, beards and hats, but this one-time disguise prop he drew from the system can instantly put on another face for Tang Cheng . According to the prop usage tips given by the system, as long as Tang Cheng confirms the conversion of the mask according to the template or the target's face, as long as Tang Cheng does not take the initiative to cancel the use of the prop, Tang Cheng can continue to live with such a face. .
What Tang Cheng didn't expect the most was that although such a disguised face could not be changed midway, it was the same as the real one. Even if he washed his face and took a shower, there would be no flaws. Moreover, there is another thing that makes Tang Cheng satisfied with this one-time prop. As long as Tang Cheng uses this one-time prop, he can also change his body shape at will, especially the big problem of height. Tang Cheng's current appearance is completely different from his previous appearance. Even if Hans saw the current Tang Cheng, it would be impossible to recognize him.
Tang Cheng, who was originally a handsome young man with broad shoulders and a broad body, is now a bald middle-aged man with a slight stoop and a thin body. Especially his bow legs, he looks Japanese at first glance. The current owner of Tang Cheng's face is a Japanese businessman who lives in the French Concession and sells groceries. Tang Cheng is eyeing him because he has a nephew who serves in the Japanese Army. Although his nephew, a major, had died on the front line, at this award ceremony, he was allowed to receive the medal on behalf of his nephew-in-law who was far away in Japan.
This Japanese businessman named Tomitoshi Katayama has been living in the French Concession and has little contact with people in Hongkou District, so Tangcheng does not need to worry that if he pretends to be this person, his true identity will be discovered. Disguising himself as Katayama Tomitoshi, holding Katayama Tomitoshi's ID card, Tang Cheng successfully entered Hongkou District. According to the notice he received, looking at Tang Cheng who was somewhat submissive, he rushed to the officers' club here in Hongkou Park.
Looking at the newly renovated officers' club, Tang Cheng secretly laughed in his heart, saying that he was lucky that he didn't set a fire last time and completely burn the place to ashes! Otherwise, this award ceremony may need to be held in a different place! One of the participants, Katayama Tomitoshi, arrived here in advance and was the officer who registered Tang Cheng. When he learned that Tang Cheng was receiving the medal on behalf of his niece-in-law who was far away in Japan, he immediately understood that the owner of the medal should have already fought. Die on the front lines.
The military police officer who understood the situation no longer frowned upon the submissive Tang Cheng. After some explanation, Tang Cheng, who was about to arrive in advance, arranged to check in at the Xinya Hotel. The gendarmerie officer on duty personally drove him to the Xinya Hotel in Tangcheng. After arriving at the hotel, he finally realized that all the people who attended the awards conference to receive medals had stayed in the Xinya Hotel before the conference.
Carrying simple luggage, Tang Cheng was sent to the room and faced a choice at this moment. Should he look for an opportunity now to kill the Japanese officers who have already checked into the hotel, or should he stand still and wait for the meeting to find a bigger target to attack? The awarding meeting was tomorrow, so there was only one night left for Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng deliberately pretended to be filled with sadness and stayed in the room. He really needed to think about it.
When it was time for dinner, Tang Cheng, who went downstairs to eat, found that the hotel restaurant was almost full of Japanese officers in military uniforms, including many mid-level officers like Lieutenant Colonel. Tang Cheng sat in the corner, eating and eavesdropping on the chatter of the Japanese officers around him. As expected, Tang Cheng soon heard several familiar names from the officers on the table to his left.
If Tang Cheng wanted to take action at the award ceremony, he would naturally have to find out some relevant information beforehand. The names mentioned by these Japanese officers at this moment were all high-level officials of the Japanese army in Shanghai. Knowing that these senior Japanese military officials would also appear at the venue tomorrow and would most likely serve as the master of ceremonies for awarding medals, Tang Cheng, who had been hesitant in his heart, immediately made his choice.
Attacking the award ceremony will inevitably trigger a crazy backlash from the Japanese army and the Super High School in Shanghai, so from Tang Cheng's point of view, the result is the same whether you catch the big fish or not. In this case, instead of sorting out these small fish and shrimps in the hotel tonight, it would be better to wait until the meeting is held tomorrow to have the big fish and small fish served in a pot. After finally making a decision, Tang Cheng immediately worked up his appetite. After a delicious meal, Tang Cheng immediately returned to his room to rest. Having recharged his energy early, he knew that tomorrow would be very difficult.
