Tang Cheng settled down quietly in Hongkou District, but Hans was secretly worried about Tang Cheng in the concession, because Tang Cheng had made an agreement with him before, but Hans could not contact Tang Cheng now. Hans had an insider in Hongkou District, and there was more than one. However, due to the joint blockade of the Special High School and the Military Police Headquarters, Hans's insider had no way to pass on the news. The commotion caused by the Japanese army on the dock was so great that even though the Military Police Headquarters had tried its best to block the news, many intelligence dealers in the concession still captured some information.
Most of the news circulating in the black market in the concession is specious, but now that Hans is here, the situation is different. While Hans was worried about Tangcheng, he secretly spread the news about the attack on the Japanese dock through his own channels in the black market. The Japanese army is becoming more and more powerful in Shanghai. Recently, it has forced the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Concession on the streets to fully open the concession to super high schools. Now that they learned that the military wharf, which was tightly controlled by the Japanese army, had been attacked, the directors of the Concession Industry Bureau began to secretly enjoy themselves.
As time went by, news of the Japanese attack on the dock spread rapidly in the concession. Now even the Shanghai Military Station and the Shanghai underground party organization hiding in the concession knew the news. Compared with the Juntong Shanghai Station, which immediately sent a telegram to notify the Chongqing headquarters, the Shanghai underground party organization was obviously much more cautious. They quickly sent out a liaison officer to notify the internal line that could be released to the senior management of the Concession Industry Bureau to help verify the authenticity of the news. .
Well-informed people in Shanghai were silently watching the development of the situation. As the news came out that the Special High School and the Military Police Headquarters had jointly blocked the Hongkou District, they finally believed that something had really happened to the military dock controlled by the Japanese army. . The Juntong Shanghai Station, which had been rounded up by the Special High School for a long time, secretly cheered. They didn't care who attacked the Japanese dock. They just knew that the troublesome Shanghai Special High School had no time to continue to round them up.
The Juntong Shanghai Station was taking things for granted at the moment. In their excitement, they had forgotten that the Japanese were also good at finding scapegoats to shirk responsibility. The fire at the Japanese dock has not been completely extinguished, especially the material warehouses that are still smoking. No one dares to come forward to put out the fire, because no one knows when the ammunition stored in those warehouses will explode. Faced with such a situation, the people from the Special High School finally came up with the idea. A team of more than 60 traitor plainclothes people was gathered together and forced by the military police to rush into the scene of the fire.
Relying on shovels, brooms and water pipes, these plainclothes traitors who were paid heavily by Xu finally put out the last fire at the cost of more than 40 casualties. The fire on the pier had been extinguished, and the senior military police officers present breathed a sigh of relief. However, they did not know yet that two of the remaining plainclothes traitors who evacuated the pier had already revealed the true situation on the pier. Keep it in mind secretly.
The plainclothes traitors who were forced into the fire by the military police at gunpoint were naturally unwilling to accept it. Although the dozen or so plainclothes agents who survived by chance saved their own lives, they were already cruel to the cold-blooded Japanese. Got an understanding. The news of the incident at the Japanese military dock had already spread in the concession. But now, some plainclothes traitors affiliated with the Special High School confirmed the authenticity of the news, and the intelligence black market in the concession suddenly became active.
Tang Cheng, who was still stranded in Hongkou District, successfully passed the identity verification by the military police and plainclothes agents, and stayed in that hotel with nothing to do. The Military Police Command's only suspect at the moment, or rather the suspect, is Second Lieutenant Shoichi Ono who disappeared for no reason. Whether Ono left the pier and boarded a truck transporting the wounded, or he attacked the convoy and fled into a residential area. , all with numerous witness statements.
Therefore, it is relatively safe for Tang Cheng to be stranded in Hongkou District. After all, his appearance, height and age are very different from Ono Masaichi. Throughout the day, Hongkou District was under strict lockdown. All people living in Hongkou District, whether Japanese or foreigners, were not allowed to leave their residences at will. Even in areas that have been inspected by military police and special agents, their scope of activities is not allowed to leave the street where their residence is located.
Since the hotel could provide three meals a day, Tang Cheng didn't care whether he could go out or not. He even hid in the room and carefully adjusted and organized the contents of his personal equipment bag. Tang Cheng was in a hurry to get it from the ammunition depot at the dock last night. Most of the grenades and explosives he put into the carry-on equipment bag were. At this moment, Tang Cheng, who had nothing to do and could not rest, was secretly thinking about these grenades in the carry-on equipment bag. and explosives, always find an opportunity to consume them.
At noon the next day, Tang Cheng was drinking tea and chatting with the hotel owner and two other guests in the hotel lobby when he suddenly saw military police entering the hotel. When the hotel owner asked, he found out that the street where the hotel was located had been temporarily unblocked, and they who were trapped in the hotel could temporarily move around on this street. Tang Cheng was secretly happy when he heard this, but there was no trace of joy on his face, and he just said a few casual words.
After dinner, Tang Cheng went upstairs to rest. He waited for it to get dark before changing into black clothes and rappelling down from the window of the room. The gendarmerie troops that had blocked the Hongkou District only temporarily lifted the blockade of this street. There were gendarmerie patrols at both ends of the street. After peeking out from the back alley for a while, Tangcheng marched all the way back along the back alley. Sure enough, in the next street, Tangcheng also saw military police patrolling, but the patrols were not strict.
Tang Cheng, who was hiding at the entrance of the alley, saw the opportunity and rushed out. When the military police continued to move forward, Tang Cheng, who was crossing the street, was already standing in a shadow on the side of the street. Dressed in black and covered by the shadows on the street, Tang Cheng hid his figure very well. After a few breaths, Tang Cheng quickly climbed up the two-story building on the street along the thin rope under his flying claws. The roof of a store. Tang Cheng used the two-story shop at his feet as a springboard and quickly climbed onto the roof of the building next to him. After several position changes, Tang Cheng finally appeared in a four-story building two streets away, near the street entrance. On the roof.
Tang Cheng ventured out tonight not because he wanted to continue attacking the patrolling gendarmerie troops, but because he was just here to survey the terrain. Diagonally opposite this four-story building is a Japanese trading company. The information Hans once provided to Tangcheng included information about this Japanese trading company. This seemingly inconspicuous Japanese trading house has a very good relationship with the Japanese Army in private. Many army officers have entrusted this trading house to quietly transport their secret harvests back to their hometown in Japan.
During the war of resistance that lasted for many years, the Japanese army plundered countless things from China, including a large number of antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Tang Cheng didn't know if the Japanese trading company he was observing was also directly involved in plundering China. Just the fact that this trading company helped the Japanese officers who invaded China transport so-called trophies back to Japan was enough to make Tang Cheng Keep an eye on this place. Time passed minute by minute with boring observation, and finally I saw the lights gradually disappearing on the third floor of the commercial bank opposite. Tang Cheng was squatting on the edge of the roof, and then he started to move his hands and feet to make preparations.
Half an hour later, Tang Cheng came down from the roof and quickly crossed the street and appeared downstairs of the business. Tang Cheng did not enter through the main entrance because he could not be sure whether there were night guards in the trading house, so he still used his old tricks of flying claws and light body skills to climb directly to the roof of the trading house. Entering Tang Cheng inside the building through the small door on the roof, he found that there were indeed night guards in this business, because when he went down the stairs to the second floor, Tang Cheng faintly heard voices.
Tang Cheng did not alert the guards who were chatting, but immediately retreated to the third floor of the trading house. He leaned on the door to make sure that no one was in all the rooms on the third floor. Tang Cheng immediately took out a small tool and opened the door of one of the rooms. The room that Tang Cheng opened at this moment should be a lounge. In the room that was divided into two rooms, the inside and outside, there was still a smell of smoke in the air. Tang Cheng carefully looked at the layout of the room, then took out the explosives and fuses from his equipment bag, and set up a hair trap under the chair in the inner room.
In the next hour, Tang Cheng made the same trap arrangement in the other two rooms on the third floor. As long as someone set off the trap, the fuse fixed on the explosive would ignite, and then detonate the explosive. At 2 o'clock in the morning, Tang Cheng, who had returned the same way, quietly returned to the hotel room. He carefully recalled the trajectory of tonight's activities and found no flaws in Tang Cheng. Then he changed into pajamas and went to bed.
Early the next morning, many Japanese expatriates who were restricted to their residences and were not allowed to leave could no longer bear it. Many of them started calling their acquaintances to ask when the martial law in Hongkou District would be lifted. When Tang Cheng got up in the morning, he still looked calm. When he heard the hotel owner and the guests chatting, Tang Cheng secretly listened to the content of their conversation. When Tang Cheng heard the hotel owner say that the Military Police Headquarters would start issuing special passes today, Tang Cheng couldn't help but become interested.
"I know you have a way. If I want a special pass you mentioned before, how much do I need to give you?" After only half of his breakfast, Tang Cheng went to the hotel owner and went straight to the topic of the special pass. pass. "I will return to the mainland by ship tomorrow, but I still have a batch of goods in the concession. I don't know if it has been loaded, so I need to go to the concession to confirm the status of the goods. If this batch of goods cannot get on the ship and leave with me, my loss will be It will be huge!" Tang Cheng smiled lightly and pushed a few bills to the hotel owner.
