The bureau secretary quickly figured out who went to the search team's barracks under the banner of the military command headquarters, but the bureau secretary didn't do anything to those people because they were all from the civil engineering department. "As long as they don't come to trouble me, I'll pretend I've never seen them!" Tang Cheng's answer was very simple. On the surface, Tang Cheng gave such an answer because he was worried that the bureau would get into trouble, but in fact, Tang Cheng really didn't want to pay attention to those people.
I don’t know if it was because the bureau chief went to the Nan’an Villa to complain that Song Changqing did not cause trouble to Tang Cheng and the search team, but Tang Cheng did not relax his vigilance towards Song Changqing. Most of the children from big families have received a good education, but it is possible for a few scum to appear by chance. Song Changqing was able to thrive in the city bureau by relying on the Song family's brand name, and it was impossible without some tricks.
For several days, Tangcheng was on guard against possible revenge from Song Changqing, but Song Changqing seemed to have forgotten about his visit to the military camp that day and was busy having fun with the middle-level officials of the city bureau all day long. Am I being paranoid? Tang Cheng, who was full of doubts, immediately cheered up and resumed his daily activities of searching and identifying Japanese and puppet spies in the city. At the intelligence analysis meeting at the Military Command Headquarters, the group of spies that had been reported to the south had yet to show up. Tangcheng did not show it on the surface, but in fact it had been paying attention to the matter.
Two days later, Huang Ping, who was in charge of the village in the city, based on the principle of mutual benefit, revealed a piece of news to Tangcheng. "The Zhou brothers' boat was not at the dock three days ago. According to the usual practice, the Zhou brothers' boats are usually repaired at the dock during this season." Tang Cheng, who went to the dock to verify the situation in person, returned to the military camp and He immediately found Zhang Jianghe and reported the situation to Zhang Jianghe. "According to the information reported by my informant, the Zhou brothers are very suspicious!"
The Zhou brothers mentioned by Tang Cheng were just one of the many small characters on the dock. The search team rarely paid attention to such small characters. However, according to Huang Ping, the Zhou brothers don't seem to be satisfied with just playing a small role. They are planning a big deal. "There's nothing important going on right now, so why not just play with them!" Tang Cheng's decision was very straightforward, and he immediately mobilized his manpower to start keeping an eye on the situation at the dock.
The pier is an extremely difficult area to control with people coming and going, but the search team is almost all Chongqing locals, and they can integrate well into the local people on the pier. Long-term surveillance is a very boring thing, but everyone in the search team has long been accustomed to this long-term surveillance life, and many of them even enjoy this life. Zhang Jianghe did not choose to sit in the military camp this time, but hid directly in a teahouse on the dock, just like the last arms case on the dock.
For two days in a row, the calm sea on the pier looked very normal, and the situation Huang Ping mentioned did not occur. However, Tang Cheng was not in a hurry. Even though Zhang Jianghe was about to give in, Tang Cheng still insisted on continuing to wait because he believed in the ability of underground party organizations to obtain intelligence. Tang Cheng's persistence was not in vain. On the afternoon of the next day, Huang Ping put information in the dead mailbox. This time, he finally brought new news. "The Zhou brothers' ship will dock after midnight!"
After just a few words of new information sent by the informant, a smile appeared on Tang Cheng's face. After two days of continuous surveillance, he finally got a result. After dinner, all members of the search team canceled their outings and gathered early in the small building of the military camp. The secret warehouse in the backyard of the military camp was also opened. The weapons and equipment carefully selected and accumulated by Tang Cheng were distributed to each person.
"Tonight's operation can be said to be an ambush rather than an arrest. According to reliable intelligence, just tonight, someone at the dock helped Japanese and puppet agents sneak into Chongqing by water. Our operation tonight will not include the remaining military camps. In addition to the others, everyone else is involved. Before taking action, I still say the same thing, first of all, you must protect yourself, and never get carried away with your blood and take risky actions regardless of your own life." The one who spoke first Tangcheng did not tell the truth about the information.
According to the information conveyed by Huang Ping, the Zhou brothers' primary purpose was to transport a batch of opium from outside the customs to Chongqing, and the second was to transport a dozen unidentified guys to sneak into Chongqing. For cigarette dealers like the Zhou brothers, who only have interests in the country and no nation, Tangcheng has no favorable impression at all. In his action plan, even if the Zhou brothers do not die in a hail of bullets, they can only stay there for the rest of their lives. Lingering in a deep prison.
Zhao Dashan and the others did not show any impatience when faced with the mobilization in front of Tangcheng. On the contrary, some of them shouted on the spot, saying that they would definitely steal the show tonight. As it approached early in the morning, the search team members who had entered the city in batches began to secretly gather towards the dock according to the action plan. The military commander, who had been secretly paying attention to the search team's movements, was the first to react. However, they called the military camp, but no one answered.
The bureau chief who received the call late at night also looked confused at this moment, because he did not receive a report from Zhang Jianghe during the day. Could it be that the unusual movement on the part of the search team was just a temporary move? The bureau chief was awakened from his sleep by the phone call. He was no longer sleepy and just thought about it secretly in his heart. After thinking about it, the sleepless director got up from the bed. According to the military command headquarters, the direction of the search team's movement was towards the dock.
Tangcheng, who had arrived at the dock at this moment, did not know that the search team's actions had been noticed by the military command headquarters. According to the action plan, Tang Cheng, who took action personally, will lead three arresting team members to guard under the fish platform on the east side of the pier. This position can clearly see the place where the Zhou brothers usually park their boats. The team members who were unknown behind the fish platform quickly came over to report that everyone had entered the predetermined position according to the action plan. Now just waiting for the target to appear.
During the anxious waiting, time seemed to pass very slowly. When the hands of the watch pointed to three o'clock in the morning, the originally silent dock began to become lively. The fishermen who made a living by fishing were already docking to transport their catch. Get. "Don't be anxious, be patient. Even if the target doesn't show up tonight, the worst thing is to continue tomorrow!" In the shadow under the fish platform, Tang Cheng squatted sideways and leaned against the mound behind him, without any hint of impatience or anxiety in his tone. .
Tang Cheng's mood had a great impact on the team members around him. Just when everyone was calming down, the team member assigned to the back quietly came up again and brought Tang Cheng some bad news. The bureau leader brought people to the pier, and now they are in the teahouse where Zhang Jianghe is sitting! Tang Cheng, who has already lurked at this point in time, ambushing under the fish platform, cannot leave the team members around him and go back to meet with the bureau leader. After just pondering for a moment, Tang Cheng made a decision. He wanted the team members who came to report to bring a message back to the bureau chief and Zhang Jianghe.
The small incident of the director's appearance on the pier did not disrupt Tangcheng's deployment. About half an hour later, Zhao Dashan, who was among the fishermen, finally sent out a signal that the target had appeared. The team members were in great spirits after seeing the signal. Although the fishermen carrying the catch on the dock had some influence on the next operation, everyone, including Tang Cheng, was confident in this operation.
The Zhou brothers were originally just fishermen hanging out at the docks. Later, relying on their father's relationship, they hooked up with a Pao Ge cousin in the city and began to transform into boat people who specialized in helping Pao Ge's forces transport black market materials and contraband. These two brothers, I don’t know which of them were connected in the wrong way, and now they are hooked up with the Japanese. At this moment, in the cabin of the Zhou brothers, there were not only more than a dozen boxes of tobacco from outside the customs, but also fourteen strong men who had not spoken a word since boarding the ship.
The Zhou brothers are not fools, they are just black-hearted businessmen who have forgotten everything for money. Their ship had actually appeared on the river outside the dock early, but out of caution, they waited until now before deciding to dock and unload the cargo. Tang Cheng, who turned on the triple eyepiece skill after receiving the signal, could clearly see the ships that were about to dock on the river outside the pier, including the Zhou brothers' ship, even without the telescope in his hand.
The boats outside the dock docked one after another. Just as the Zhou brothers' boat was approaching the dock, a fishing boat with a deck full of catches suddenly came over from the side, blocking the boat next to the Zhou brothers. route. The fishing boat that suddenly jumped in the queue completely disrupted the docking order of these boats. Fortunately, the owner of the fishing boat was a familiar face. After a while of yelling and scolding, the fishing boat that jumped in the queue finally succeeded in separating the boat of the Zhou brothers. The distance between a ship and other ships.
Cutting in line to dock is something you often see on the dock. Even the Zhou brothers often do it, so this is very common. A few minutes later, the Zhou brothers' boat finally docked. When the gangplank was put on the dock from the bow, the various sounds on the dock strangely disappeared. It was as if those people who were carrying the catch on the pier had never appeared before, and none of them could be seen.
The disappearance of those people on the pier was naturally attributed to the search team. After the cables of the Zhou brothers' ship were fixed on the pier, the old police officers who were disguised as being among the fishermen showed their IDs and pistols and half-dissuaded them. Half threatening, everyone on the dock gathered to a safe location. The Zhou brothers' vigilance has been subconsciously lowered since the ship docked. By the time they realized something was wrong, they had lost the opportunity to withdraw the cable and springboard. The next situation they would face was either surrendering voluntarily or resisting to the end.
