"What are you doing?" Tang Cheng, who was furious in his heart, responded quickly. His right hand that had already touched the passport was opened by the other party. Tang Cheng's left hand immediately stretched out, directly grabbed the other person's wrist, and pressed down hard. With a scream, the man in a suit whose wrist was grabbed by Tang Cheng couldn't withstand Tang Cheng's sudden strength. At the same time as he screamed out, his body was already pressing down with Tang Cheng's exertion, and his whole body immediately took on a hunched-over figure.
The Chinese policeman standing beside the two of them, handing out his passport, was dumbfounded at this time. The man in the suit reached out to ward off Tang Cheng so suddenly that no one else, including the Chinese patrolman, reacted immediately. When they came back to their senses, they saw the man in a suit not only screaming in surprise, but also bending his waist and knees as if he had been bullied. Those who looked at him wanted to laugh out loud.
"Mr. Inspector, is this also a person from your patrol room? Can I complain to the U.S. Consulate about someone from your patrol room trying to rob and physically assault me?" Tang Cheng did not let go of the other party's wrist immediately, even though the suit The man had already screamed. Tang Cheng just turned to look at the big-nosed foreign inspector, opened his American passport with one hand so that the foreign inspector could clearly see the inside pages of the passport, and at the same time asked the other person a question in a deep voice.
The European War has begun, but the United States has not yet participated in the war, so the United States is not yet the powerful oligarch that it was in the late World War II. But even so, the big-nosed foreign inspector did not dare to easily offend a Chinese holding an American passport. After all, he did not see anything wrong with the American passport in Tang Cheng's hand. The other men in suits who were standing next to the big-nosed inspector had also gathered around him at this time, but Tang Cheng didn't even raise his eyelids and just looked at the big-nosed inspector.
Tang Cheng looked young, but he looked well-dressed. He looked like a rich man. There were very few fools among the patrols in the concession. Seeing Tang Cheng having a conflict with these plainclothes agents, these Concession patrols will not participate indiscriminately. As soon as he retreated and advanced, Tang Cheng was surrounded by these men in suits, but Tang Cheng still did not let go of the man in suits holding his left hand. "What? Are you going to fight or rob openly?" Tang Cheng looked back and looked around at the men in suits in front of him, with a look of disdain on his face.
"Stop it! What are you doing! This is the concession, not the territory of your special high school!" The big-nosed inspector who had not spoken just now suddenly got angry and walked to Tangcheng in a few steps. While reaching out and pushing away the men in suits surrounding Tang Cheng, he scolded these men in suits with saliva flying around. The big-nosed inspector was a foreigner after all. Even if these plainclothes suits hated him to death, they did not dare to directly conflict with the big-nosed inspector. They could only watch helplessly as the big-nosed inspector pulled Tangcheng out of their siege. .
Tang Cheng, who was secretly laughing in his heart, finally let go of the man in suit whose arm he had been holding. Immediately distance yourself from Tangcheng. "Mr. Inspector, aren't these people from your patrol room? Since they are not from your patrol room, why do they want to prevent me from getting my passport back?" Tang Cheng pretended not to know and looked at the big-nosed inspector. His expression was awkward, but in his heart he was already secretly cursing these plainclothes agents from the extra-high school class.
The man in a suit, whose arm was grabbed by Tang Cheng and suffered a loss, glared at Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng ignored him and just looked at the big-nosed inspector quietly. The plainclothes agents of the Special High School entered the concession and showed up at the patrol inspection site. This was with the approval of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the concession. The big-nosed inspector could not refuse the order from the Ministry of Industry Bureau, but he was also disgusted with these plainclothes agents of the Special High School. At this moment, he was forced to retreat by Tang Cheng, so he simply whispered the inside story to Tang Cheng.
"Oh! That's it! I'm very sorry, it seems I wrongly blamed Mr. Inspector!" He was about to leave Shanghai, and Tang Cheng didn't want to cause trouble at the last moment, especially since this guy was a foreign inspector in the concession patrol room. So after the other party explained in a low voice, Tang Cheng also softened his tone. This was equivalent to Tang Cheng also giving the big-nosed inspector a step down, so that he would not really have a stalemate and be forced to stay here by the other party.
Sure enough, as soon as Tang Cheng's words softened, the big-nosed inspector's expression immediately became less stiff than before. Compared with the strength shown by Tang Cheng just now, the big-nosed inspector hated these plainclothes agents of the special high school even more. If it weren't for them, he should be sitting in a cafe to kill time at this time. With the intervention of the big-nosed inspector, Tang Cheng successfully got his passport back and left the street with a leisurely expression.
The deliberate glance that Tang Cheng gave before leaving was undoubtedly a provocation in the eyes of these plainclothes agents from the Special High School. Watching Tang Cheng turn into the street on the left opposite the street entrance, the man in a suit whose arm was held by Tang Cheng called his two men with a gloomy look and whispered for a while, and then they turned and left. The reactions of these plainclothes agents of the Special High School were all seen by the big-nosed inspector, but he did not stop them. After all, Tang Cheng held an American passport, and he was a member of the British Empire.
The two plainclothes agents of the Special High School came to the street and followed Tang Cheng into another street. The two of them thought they were following the secret, but in fact, Tang Cheng had already discovered it. They originally wanted to wait for Tang Cheng to go to a place with few people and take the opportunity to provoke Tang Cheng and teach him a lesson. However, they followed along and found that they could not find the opportunity at all, because there were many people on Tang Cheng's route. Pedestrians appear. Tang Cheng, who pretended not to know anything, thought he had nothing to do, so he could kill time by sneaking around with these two followers.
Tang Cheng remained calm and wandered around the French Concession with the two tails behind him. Tang Cheng visited almost all the shops selling rare gadgets and bought a lot of things. The two plainclothes agents who followed him all the way saw that Tang Cheng was spending money like water, and they became even more convinced that Tang Cheng was simply a rich man. The two people, who had never found a chance, followed Tangcheng for a while, and finally gave up and continued to follow.
Haha, following me will tire you two to death! After confirming that the stalker disappeared automatically, a slight smile immediately appeared on Tang Cheng's expression. Tang Cheng, who was looking for a place to fill his stomach, took the opportunity to put all the items he bought into his own equipment bag, then packed lightly and continued his shopping trip. Tang Cheng spent the whole day shopping in the concession. He even bought several boxes of high-end cigars for the bureau chief in Chongqing.
When it was time to finish eating, Tang Cheng did not choose to return to his residence. Instead, he found a phone booth and called his residence. No one answered the phone, which meant that Xu Huanshan was not at his residence at the moment. Thinking that Xu Huanshan had left his residence early in the morning, the glutton guessed that Xu Huanshan must have gone to join Shanghai's underground party organization. Tang Cheng, who will leave Shanghai in one day, has decided not to get involved in Shanghai affairs, not to mention that he has already introduced Xu Huanshan and Hans.
"Why are you here?" Hans, who was settling accounts in the office, was somewhat surprised when he saw Tang Cheng coming in through the door. It will get dark in a while. According to his understanding of Tangcheng, he always thinks that as long as it gets dark, Tangcheng will look for trouble from the Japanese everywhere. Facing Hans's puzzled face, Tang Cheng didn't bother to explain at all. He just sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette for himself.
Hans was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud bang, and the teapot and cups on the office coffee table began to shake. "What did you do again?" Hans's expression changed. His first reaction was to shout at Tang Cheng, then he got up and rushed out of the office and went to the front hall of the restaurant. Tang Cheng, who looked puzzled, also followed Hans and left the office. The front hall of the restaurant was now in chaos, filled with random shouts.
Arriving at the front of the restaurant, Hans looked through the restaurant's street window and saw on the street outside the window a burning car. The front half of it had rushed into the bakery across the street. The street was full of broken glass. and wood chip masonry. When the waiters in the restaurant saw the boss appearing, they finally calmed down from their panic. After Hans asked several people in succession, he figured out the whole story. Tang Cheng, who had been following Hans, also listened to a few words and learned that the explosion just came from the car outside. Tang Cheng's expression looked a little strange.
"What's going on? Do you know something?" Hans, who was trying his best to appease the diners, accidentally saw Tang Cheng's expression, pulled Tang Cheng aside and asked in a low voice. Tang Cheng didn't want to hide anything from Hans, so he pointed to the burning car outside and said that he had seen this car today. Only the front half of the car outside rushed into the bakery across the street. The back half of the car was still outside the bakery. From the angle of Tangcheng, you could just clearly see the license plate of the car.
"I have indeed seen this car! When I went out in the morning, I encountered the patrol room card inspection certificate. I saw a car with this license plate at that time, parked at the patrol room card inspection area." Tang Cheng said , causing Hans to subconsciously turn his head to look at the car outside. The rear of the car was intact, which did not prevent Hans from clearly seeing the license plate.
"The team at the checkpoint was led by the big-nosed inspector named Nelson from the patrol house in the French Concession. He told me that it was a requirement of the Special High School Class to set up a card to check IDs in the patrol house. At that time, there were plainclothes officers from the Special High School Class walking around next to the checkpoint. This car should be the one that the plainclothes spies of the Extra-High School drove into the concession." Tangcheng said that the car outside belonged to the Extra-High School. Hans's expression immediately changed, and he immediately realized that there must be something not simple in it. Insider.
