The strong man and those few strong men were escorted back to the military camp by Tangcheng's leaders. When they learned that Tangcheng's leaders had arrested Zhongtong's men, Zhang Jianghe immediately came down from upstairs. "What's going on? How did you arrest the Zhongtong people?" The situation was not explained clearly in the phone call Zhang Jianghe received, so when Zhang Jianghe came down from upstairs and saw Tangcheng, he asked one question after another. , and kept asking questions. Tang Cheng commanded his team members to imprison these people from the Central Command into several offices on the first floor before answering Zhang Jianghe's inquiry.
"We were originally investigating a black market arms case in the south of the city. These guys from the Central Command came to our door on their own. They have a close relationship with the arms dealers we caught. Some things will only become clear after we ask them!" Tang Cheng gave an answer that was not an answer. Zhang Jianghe had no choice but to tell Tang Cheng not to be too ruthless during the interrogation, lest the Zhongtong side come to trouble him later.
In front of Zhang Jianghe, Tang Cheng nodded continuously to make assurances, but just when Zhang Jianghe turned around and went upstairs, Tang Cheng called his team members to get torture tools from the basement. Tangcheng and Zhongtong had nothing to deal with. Even some ordinary members of the Zhongtong headquarters knew about this. After these strong men were brought to the military camp in a car, they finally realized that the people who arrested them were actually members of the search team. The young man before was Tang Cheng.
Seeing Tang Cheng coming in from the outside, the bearded man who was being temporarily guarded in the office subconsciously stood up. Unfortunately, Tang Cheng was not even interested in looking at him. Tang Cheng, who entered the office, went straight to the point without giving the other party a chance to defend himself, "Tell me! What are you doing in the south of the city? Why do the people we want to arrest look like old acquaintances with you? If you can't give me a reason today? The reason for my belief is that I can guarantee that you will never leave here alive."
Tang Cheng's words sounded natural, but in the ears of this bearded man, it had a different meaning. "What? You don't want to say it or you don't bother to tell me?" Tang Cheng's expression changed. Several of his team members swarmed up and knocked the bearded man to the ground. They just waited for Tang Cheng to give a signal. The torture is about to begin. However, Tang Cheng did not signal for torture. Instead, he asked his team members to let go of the bearded man first, "I will give you time to think carefully. You must not make the wrong choice!"
Faced with Tang Cheng's intimidation, the bearded man was very hesitant, but when he saw the torture instruments being moved into the office one after another, he finally chose to answer all questions because of the constant thoughts in his heart. Tang Cheng stayed in the office on the first floor for more than half an hour. Combined with the explanations of the other strong men, Tang Cheng finally came to the conclusion that the Central Committee was connected to black market arms smuggling. "Uncle, I think there is no need to report this matter to the headquarters because we don't have enough evidence on hand."
Tang Cheng's words made Zhang Jianghe nod secretly. If he didn't have enough evidence to prove that Zhongtong was involved in this matter, he might be counterattacked by Zhongtong at that time. "What about the people you captured? You can't keep them locked up like this for a long time, right?" Zhang Jianghe stretched out his hand to scratch his head, but found that Tang Cheng's expression did not show any urgency, and he was obviously already confident. Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but be curious and hurriedly asked. Tang Cheng chuckled before revealing his countermeasures.
"Uncle, this has nothing to do with the Central Committee! These guys were encountered by chance when we were investigating the case. The targets of our search team have always been Japanese spies and traitors lurking in the city. Others don’t know, so the Zhongtong side can’t be clear about it! I’ll just tell them to let them go when I go down, and I will protect the few little characters in the Zhongtong who can run faster than rabbits. Are you still worried about them going back? Are you going to sue us? Don’t worry, that’s impossible!”
Tang Cheng naturally had his own motives for bringing these plainclothes officers from the Central Military Commission back to the military camp, but he couldn't tell Zhang Jianghe yet. Through the arms dealer they caught, Tang Cheng quickly figured out that this arms dealer was just doing things for others, and he was not the real arms buyer. According to the arms dealer's account, Tangcheng quickly identified a woman named Qi Xiu. According to the arms dealer's account, Qi Xiu was the introducer of this arms deal.
Since when have women been involved in the arms black market? Tang Cheng keenly grasped this key point and assigned the task of searching for this woman to his team members. One day passed quickly, but the woman named Qi Xiu never showed up again. People in Tangcheng wondered whether the woman named Qi Xiu had been put into a sack and sunk into the river. At dinner time, the team members who entered the city returned to the military camp one after another. Zhao Dashan, who finally returned, finally brought good news to Tangcheng.
"We didn't pay attention to this pharmacy originally, but an outside line we developed reminded me! According to the secret surveillance from the outside line, we found that the quantity of goods purchased by this pharmacy was seriously inconsistent with the quantity of shipments. We suspected that there was a warehouse in the backyard of this pharmacy. , hoarding a large amount of medicines. I originally thought that this pharmacy was preparing to hoard and looking for opportunities to sell them at high prices. However, after I took people to observe the pharmacy on the spot, I found that the backyard of the pharmacy had been renovated and looked very... unusual."
Although the news brought back by Zhao Dashan had nothing to do with the black market arms case that Tang Cheng was investigating, when Zhao Dashan found pen and paper and drew the layout of the pharmacy's backyard in front of Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng also came interest. "Your judgment is correct. The backyard of this pharmacy is indeed unusual! Although the abandoned counter near the door is made of wood, if it is covered with iron or filled with bricks and stones, it will make the seemingly abandoned counter , it’s just a good fire shelter.”
Tang Cheng took the pencil from Zhao Dashan's hand and drew a dotted line from the wooden counter to the bottom of the backyard wall. "As long as a person and a gun are placed here, everyone who tries to climb in from the backyard will be within the shooting range. In addition, there is also the layout of the pharmacy lobby. The counter of the pharmacy is diagonally opposite the store door. This is also an extremely dangerous place. Good firepower points, as well as the medicine cabinet here and the display stand in front of the medicine cabinet. When these two locations are combined, even if people from outside launch a strong attack, it will be difficult for people from outside to rush into the pharmacy within a period of time."
Zhao Dashan only conducted on-site investigation of this pharmacy based on the intelligence from the outsider, but Tang Cheng just looked at the sketch he drew and immediately made these judgments. The other team members present finally understood why Tang Cheng was so young. , you can take command of the search team. Even though he had made a judgment, out of caution, Tang Cheng decided to personally conduct an on-site investigation of this pharmacy because he was worried that this pharmacy was related to Chongqing's underground party organization.
Although it is now a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Chongqing's underground party organizations have not surfaced, but are somewhat deep dive. The few contact points they had in Chongqing urban area had long been under the control of Tangcheng. Tangcheng, who had not been in Chongqing for more than a month, suspected that the Chongqing underground party organization had established new contact points in the city. After breakfast the next day, Tang Cheng, who had changed into casual clothes, led a team of team members into the city and prepared to investigate the pharmacy according to the address Zhao Dashan gave yesterday.
The street where the pharmacy is located looks very lively. Tangcheng, who entered the street from the east side of the street, did not find any suspicious-looking targets here. Seeing Zhao Dashan's team members from a distance, Tang Cheng made a gesture secretly, and then slowly entered the pharmacy alone. The business of the pharmacy seemed to be good, with many people coming in and out to get medicines. Tang Cheng, who was dressed like a kid from a wealthy family, did not attract any deliberate attention from other people in the pharmacy. As soon as Tang Cheng entered the door, he activated his insight skill. With just a casual glance, he immediately knew the identities of the clerk and shopkeeper in the pharmacy.
Tang Cheng, who was finally relieved, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this was not the contact point of Chongqing's underground party organization, Tang Cheng, who was secretly relaxed, did not leave immediately. Instead, he bought a pack of Hawthorn Xiaoshi Pills that are commonly available on the market from the pharmacy. . Tang Cheng walked out of the pharmacy. Zhao Dashan, who was at the surveillance point opposite, clearly saw Tang Cheng's gesture through the telescope. The gesture Tang Cheng made at this moment was to ask Zhao Dashan to monitor the pharmacy around the clock. Zhao Dashan couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. This meant that there was indeed something wrong with this pharmacy.
After leaving the pharmacy, Tangcheng walked around and finally stopped at the intersection on the west side of the street where the pharmacy is located. A group of Lao Fu's team members had already appeared here disguised as vendors or passers-by. Seeing Tang Cheng coming out of the street, Lao Fu waited on the street in a tacit understanding, "There is indeed a problem in the pharmacy. Your people should not keep an eye on them too closely, and be careful to alert others! They are in the light now, and we are in the dark. As long as Zhao Dashan keeps an eye on the pharmacy, no one in the pharmacy can escape."
Tang Cheng spoke as he walked and whispered to Lao Fu. The latter nodded secretly and used sign language to ask his team members to disperse. Notifying Zhao Dashan in sign language, he also specifically told Lao Fu. After leaving the street, Tang Cheng immediately returned to the military camp. He wanted to inform Zhang Jianghe about the pharmacy. "How confident are you about that pharmacy?" Zhang Jianghe, who was sitting behind his desk, looked up at Tangcheng with a serious expression. Zhang Jianghe rarely interfered with Tang Cheng's actions in the city. He was just worried that there were too many interests involved behind this pharmacy.
How could Tang Cheng not know what Zhang Jianghe meant, so he just nodded lightly and said, "I am 100% sure this time, especially after I have been to this pharmacy in person!" Tang Cheng then said before Zhao Dashan He took out the sketch he drew and repeated the judgment he made yesterday in front of Zhang Jianghe. Zhang Jianghe is a veteran operative of the military command and is no stranger to what Tang Cheng said, and his judgment is basically consistent with Tang Cheng's.
