Tang Cheng didn't want to have anything to do with the military commander, so he was eager to hand over this hot potato to the military commander, but Zhang Jianghe didn't think so. The relevant information had been passed on to his superiors by Zhang Jianghe through his contacts in the tavern. He did not want to expose Zhang Jianghe's superiors, so he immediately handed the matter over to the Chongqing underground party organization. Tang Cheng, who was living in a hotel in the city, didn't know at this moment that the Chongqing underground party organization already knew about this matter, and he had no intention of informing Huang Ping at all.
From Tang Cheng's point of view, almost all those involved in this case were traitors within the National Government and had nothing to do with the underground party. The time spent dawdling around did not pass quickly. Tang Cheng stayed in a hotel in the city, drank three pots of tea in one morning, and read several newspapers over and over again. Really unable to bear his temper, he could only lead his people to wander around the city aimlessly again, trying to find traces of Japanese spies in the city.
During lunch, at the restaurant he often went to, Tang Cheng unexpectedly met two plainclothes officers of the Central Government. Tang Cheng didn't say anything. With nothing to do, he simply observed the two plainclothes officers of the Central Government in secret. It turned out that the two plainclothes officers of the Central Government were all paying attention to the man in the long gown who was taking the seat. The main job of the Zhongtong is to deal with the underground party, so Tang Cheng immediately guessed that these two plainclothes Zhongtong were either following the man in the long gown, or they were preparing to follow the clues and find other underground party members through the man in the long gown. .
Tang Cheng, who discovered these two plainclothes commander-in-chief, became as excited as if he had found a new toy. After he whispered to the team members around him, he sat alone at the table in the corner of the restaurant. After several of Tang Cheng's team members had finished eating, they all stood up and left. Only Tang Cheng remained in the restaurant. Tang Cheng and the others often come here to eat, and the restaurant manager is quite familiar with Tang Cheng. Seeing that Tang Cheng did not leave with the others, he knew that Tang Cheng must have a reason for not leaving.
The restaurant manager, who was like snake oil, took the initiative to send a pot of tea to Tang Cheng and never bothered Tang Cheng again. Tangcheng's location was in the corner behind the two Zhongtong plainclothes, so the two Zhongtong plainclothes didn't pay much attention to Tangcheng. After about a cup of tea, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the restaurant. After entering the door, this man just looked around and then focused on the man in the long gown. The middle-aged man who had just entered sat down with the man in a long gown. The two men obviously knew each other.
Tang Cheng clearly noticed that after the middle-aged man and the man in long gown sat at the same table, the two plainclothes officers from Zhongtong immediately became a little nervous. Why would Zhongtong send two novices to execute the characters? In Tangcheng's view, the performance of the two plainclothes officers was simply unqualified. Even in the search team, such people could only be ranked at the bottom. After muttering secretly in his heart, Tang Cheng originally planned to use system skills to scan the identities of the middle-aged man and the man in the long gown, but the moment the system panel flashed, Tang Cheng gave up the idea.
System skills have always been Tang Cheng's biggest reliance, and he has never doubted the tips given by system skills. But his insight skill has never been upgraded, and the time it can be used every day is limited. Tang Cheng does not want to waste it here. Tang Cheng, who has extraordinary eyesight, had just discovered that the middle-aged man quietly handed a scroll of paper to the man in the long gown. Tang Cheng didn't know whether the two plainclothes Zhongtong officers had discovered this scene, but he was now 100% sure that the middle-aged man and the man in a long gown should both be members of the underground party.
As long as his family is not involved, Tang Cheng is willing to help the underground party. Both Xu Huanshan and Huang Ping obtained a lot of intelligence and weapons and equipment from Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng quietly observed the two plainclothes central commanders in secret. Seeing that the other two seemed to have no intention of arresting anyone, he continued to wait patiently. Before the pot of tea on Tangcheng's table was finished, he saw the middle-aged man standing up, apparently intending to leave.
Seeing this, Tang Cheng also stood up, raised his legs and walked towards the outside of the restaurant. People stood up and left one after another. The two plainclothes officers of the Central Committee couldn't help but look at Tang Cheng twice. They just saw that Tang Cheng was dressed like a son of a wealthy family. Besides, Tang Cheng also looked tender-faced, so they didn't. Pay too much attention to Tangcheng. Tang Cheng, who was the first to leave the restaurant, saw one of his team members on the opposite side of the street just as he went out. Tang Cheng walked directly across the street and walked to the team member and whispered.
"The middle-aged man who came out after me, keep an eye on him! Be careful of the peaked cap following him, that man is a plainclothes official of the Central Government!" When Tang Cheng mentioned the middle-aged man, this man stood on the street. The team members waiting for Tang Cheng thought that Tang Cheng had discovered another Japanese spy, and they immediately became energetic. It was only later when he heard Tang Cheng talking about the plainclothes Zhongtong that the team member suddenly realized that his captain was preparing to harm the Zhongtong, but who told his captain and the Zhongtong not to deal with it!
Tang Cheng arranged his team members to track the middle-aged man who left the restaurant first. As for the man in a long gown, Tang Cheng planned to track him personally. After half a cigarette, the man in the long gown came out of the restaurant as expected, and another plainclothes Zhongtong officer also left the restaurant, following the man in the long gown. Tang Cheng, who had already used system skills to target the man in long gown, and who was far behind the two of them, sighed secretly, thinking that of the two people in front of him, one was following them carelessly, while the other walked all the way without realizing that he was being caught. Tracking, these are two weirdos!
Tang Cheng followed the two weirdos all the way. After walking through several street intersections, he saw the man in a long gown walking in the front and turned into a shop on the street. After seeing the location of the store clearly, Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel surprised, because the search team also had a store in this street, and it was right next to the store where the man in the long gown entered. Upon seeing this, Tang Cheng immediately turned into an alley and quickly changed his shirt before reappearing on the street.
Ignoring the plainclothes Central Commander Tang Cheng, he walked straight into the store where the search team was staying. When he saw Tang Cheng coming in, the shopkeeper who was settling accounts behind the counter immediately came to greet him. Seeing the gesture made by Tang Cheng's left hand, the shopkeeper understood what was happening and immediately took Tang Cheng to the back hall of the shop. "Uncle Ma, what's going on in the store next door to us?" Tang Cheng, who walked into the back hall of the store, went straight to the point and asked the shopkeeper about the situation in the store next door.
Making money is the secondary purpose of the search team in these shops in the city. Tangcheng mainly wants to use these shops all over the city to understand the situation in the city and the movements on the streets. Moreover, the manpower running these shops are almost all family members of the team members. Tangcheng can use these people more safely than hiring outsiders. After listening to Tang Cheng asking about the situation of the store next door, shopkeeper Ma knew that there must be something going on here, so he pondered for a while and then introduced the situation of the store next door.
"The shop on our left was originally a shoe seller. Later, it was sold out due to poor management. The person who took over the shop now just opened it a few days ago. Now it sells paper and books. The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man named Zhang." In every store in the city, the search team was tasked with collecting information about the street situation, especially the situation in other stores on the same street. Therefore, Shopkeeper Ma could tell the situation about the store next door after just a brief pause.
"When we were eating earlier, we discovered that plainclothes officers from the Central Government were following people. I followed them all the way here and found that the target being followed by plainclothes officers from the Central Government entered the store next door." Shopkeeper Ma is one of his own, Tangcheng He didn't want to hide anything, he simply told the previous situation, and also specifically described the appearance and physical characteristics of the man in the long gown. Shopkeeper Ma had heard Tang Cheng's description of the man in the long gown, and he was immediately certain that the man in the long gown was the shopkeeper of the shop next door.
Tang Cheng, who received a positive answer from Shopkeeper Ma, just stretched out his hand to rub his chin, and then spoke after a while. "You will arrange for the clerk in the store to find an idler or a street vendor outside, and go to the store next door to spread the word, saying that they are being targeted by Zhongtong people." When Tang Cheng said these words, Shopkeeper Ma had a confused expression. It was different, so he explained it in words. "I don't want to deal with the Central Unification Party, and the Central Unification Party has repeatedly made trouble for me, so I'm happy to see them return without success."
The conflict between Tangcheng and Zhongtong has long been rumored in the city. As a family member of the search team, how could Shopkeeper Ma not know about it. Upon hearing the reasons given by Tang Cheng, Shopkeeper Ma immediately realized that if it were him, he might have made the same decision as Tang Cheng in order to retaliate against the Central Government! Shopkeeper Ma didn't dare to waste time and immediately called a clerk in the store to explain in a low voice. He also specifically told the clerk to leave through the back door of the store and to change his clothes before going out.
After watching the young man leave from the back door, Tang Cheng returned to the front of the store, pretending to look through the items in the store, but in fact he was paying attention to what was going on in the store next door. After about a cigarette, Tang Cheng saw a street vendor carrying a load from the shop window facing the street. He walked past the window and stopped at the door of the shop next door. The hawker put down his burden at the door of the shop, walked into the shop next door for only a dozen breaths, and then came out of the shop happily holding two bills.
In the following time, Tang Cheng kept paying attention to the situation in the store next door, but he did not see the man in the long gown coming out of the store next door. Looking at the plainclothes Zhongtong man parked across the street, he still looked like he was secretly observing this side of the street, and he didn't seem to notice anything unusual. "Shopkeeper, when I came back, I happened to see the people in the store next door leaving from the back." What the young man said when he came back made Tang Cheng feel very happy, thinking that Zhongtong's efforts this time were in vain.
