On a sudden whim, Tangcheng sent people to follow the two suspicious-looking Central Plains plainclothes. The purpose was just to know the reason why these two men were behaving abnormally. But he didn't expect that the appearance of these two plainclothes Zhongtong officers here was no accident. The last street shooting caused Zhongtong to not only lose manpower, but also lost face to Tangcheng. Zhongtong could not swallow this bad breath no matter what. But Tang Cheng has already registered his name in front of the Chairman. Even if the Central Commander is holding back his anger, he cannot immediately retaliate against Tang Cheng.

These two Zhongtong plainclothes men who were accidentally encountered by Tangcheng were not actually coming to Tangcheng. They appeared here to check a clue about the underground party in Chongqing. The two plainclothes Zhongtong officers who turned around and left were not worried that Tang Cheng would follow them, but they were relieved when they turned around several times and found no sign of Tang Cheng. The two people who relaxed in their hearts remembered their mission here, and then cheered up and prepared to check the news they had just obtained according to the original plan.

Tang Cheng followed the two plainclothes Zhongtong officers all the way and watched them wandering back and forth in this area. He was suspicious and thought to himself, thinking that these two guys didn't seem to be here for him. If they are not here for themselves, then there can only be one explanation. The appearance of these two plainclothes officers from the Central Committee must be for the underground party organization. Is there a stronghold of Chongqing's underground party organization here? Another doubt emerged in Tang Cheng's mind. Naturally, he did not want Chongqing's underground party organization to be bitten by the Zhongtong again.

But looking at these two plainclothes officers from the Central Committee, they were just busy working indiscriminately. Like them, it was impossible to find the Chongqing underground party's stronghold around here. Tang Cheng, who was secretly thinking about it, quickly caught up with his team members. After whispering an explanation, everyone dispersed and left. Tang Cheng asked his team members to return to the previous place and monitor the alley, while he wandered around the area alone, looking for possible underground party strongholds.

Half an hour later, Tang Cheng finally stopped in front of a street vendor. On the opposite street directly opposite the hawker, a southern goods store caught Tang Cheng's attention. When Tang Cheng was in Nanjing, there were many Nanjing stores in Nanjing, so he was quite familiar with Nanjing stores. The southern goods store across the street looked no different from the southern goods store that Tang Cheng was familiar with before. What really caught Tang Cheng's attention was the clerk at the southern goods store.

The clerk from the Southern Goods Store who sent the customer out didn't look very old, but when he walked, his gait and body shape were quite different from ordinary people. Tang Cheng could tell at a glance that this clerk from Nanhuo Store had received some kind of training. Moreover, after seeing off the customers, the clerk at the Nanhuo store was wiping the glass of the store door with a cloth, but his eyes were secretly observing the situation outside the store door. This clerk's behavior was unusual, which aroused Tang Cheng's interest and vigilance. He stopped across the street, wanting to use system skills to confirm the true identities of the shopkeeper and clerk in this store.

Tang Cheng's back was facing the Nanhuo Store behind him. Even if the clerk pretending to wipe the door of the store had noticed Tang Cheng across the street, he would not be able to see Tang Cheng's face. Tang Cheng secretly activated his system skills and quickly figured out the situation in the shop behind him. As expected, he handed the banknotes in his hand to the vendor, took the cigarettes and left immediately. The clerk at Nanhuo Store, who had been paying attention to the situation on the other side of the street, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tang Cheng leaving normally.

Half an hour later, a child of seven or eight years old approached the Nanhuo store while eating candied haws, and handed a piece of paper in his hand to the shopkeeper of the Nanhuo store. The shopkeeper of Nanhuo Store opened the note with a suspicious look on his face. After just one glance, his expression suddenly changed, because the content of the note was simply a warning. The child who sent the note was confused and couldn't tell who asked him to send the note. This made the shopkeeper of Nanhuo Store even more confused.

Without thinking, the shopkeeper of Nanhuo Store immediately arranged for the clerk to send the note to the upline, and at the same time, he was ready to evacuate at any time. Fortunately, there was a warning note, and the shopkeeper of Nanhuo Store, who was cautious, soon discovered that there were more suspicious people on the street outside. Seeing that something was wrong, the shopkeeper of Nanhuo Store immediately arranged for his workers to leave from the tunnel, while he stayed at the end. Tang Cheng's insight failed to stop Zhongtong's actions. He only bought Nanhuodian time and opportunity to evacuate.

Naturally, they were very annoyed that the operation failed to capture the underground party's central commander, but they did not think of taking Tang Cheng's responsibility. At this time, Tang Cheng had already appeared in the south of the city. His search range was constantly increasing, and he finally found traces of his target in the south of the city a few minutes ago. Tang Cheng had no intention of continuing to fight alone this time. As soon as he found the target, he called the phone number back to the military camp and asked for backup help. The man in the suit also changed back to a suit. When Tang Cheng saw him, the man in the suit was walking with a middle-aged woman. The relationship between the two was obviously unusual.

Tang Cheng noticed that when the middle-aged woman walked, her left foot would always shake unconsciously, like a patient with mild polio. But after Tang Cheng quietly followed the two of them through a street intersection, he suddenly discovered that the middle-aged woman's unlucky-looking left foot might just be an illusion deliberately made by her just to confuse other people. Seeing the two targets walking into the yard in front, Tang Cheng immediately returned the same way and found the search team's shop not far away.

"Are you talking about the red door courtyard in front? I really know something about this!" In the back hall of the store, the shopkeeper who was asked about the situation by Tang Cheng grinned lightly. "When I first received the order, I paid special attention to the situation in this street. The courtyard you just mentioned is not far from us, so I know more about it in detail. That courtyard was originally a mixed courtyard, and several families lived in it. Later, a woman moved in, and other families in the courtyard also moved out one after another."

A woman who had just moved here not long ago actually had the financial resources to buy the entire compound. This was abnormal in itself. Tang Cheng's original suspicion now became even more profound. "At that time, I also felt that this woman was not simple. Later, I tried to inquire about it, and finally found that this woman seemed to have close relations with many high-ranking officials. I saw with my own eyes that a military vehicle came to see her, and people from the sub-district police station also took the initiative to go to her. Things were given away in that yard.”

The shopkeeper didn't think too much. He just told Tang Cheng what he had learned according to Tang Cheng's inquiry. Little did he know that Tang Cheng's heart was already churning. A woman with a mysterious background not only has good relations with high-ranking officials, but people from the sub-district police station also take the initiative to come to help. If this woman is a Japanese spy, this matter will be troublesome. Tangcheng doesn't need to think about it. Once the bureau chief learns of this situation, he may directly hand over the case to the military commander for handling.

But after a few breaths, Tang Cheng changed his mind. It was not impossible to hand over the case to the military commander. When he thought of the trouble this case might cause, Tang Cheng called the military command headquarters directly from the store or directly to the bureau's office. Tang Cheng informed the bureau chief of the situation on the phone. Although he concealed something in his narrative, he made the basic situation clear. The person on the other end of the phone didn't hesitate, just asked Tang Cheng to wait where he was, and he immediately arranged for someone to meet Tang Cheng next door.

Perhaps because he thought the call was unsafe, the bureau officer on the other end hung up the phone without saying anything else. More than half an hour later, the military commander finally arrived. What Tang Cheng didn't expect was that the bureau leader actually came in person. The bureau chief came forward in person, and Tang Cheng knew what the reason was. When the bureau chief asked the reason for the incident in person, Tang Cheng could only recount the situation again. "Bureau seat, the situation is like this. The woman who had contact with the target should not be simple. The search team does not have the ability to deal with this situation."

Tang Cheng knew that the bureau leader was a thoughtful person, so he did not hide his intention to push the trouble to the military commander, and the bureau leader did not get angry because of this. After just thinking about it for a moment, the director followed Tang Cheng's idea and monitored the woman's yard. He just left and asked Tang Cheng to get in the car with him. Apparently he had something to say to Tang Cheng. "Since this case has been handed over to the military commander, you should keep an eye on the situation of that secret force, and don't mess around all day long."

In the car, the person sitting next to Tang Cheng lectured Tang Cheng in a very uneasy tone. The latter did not dare to refute and could only nod with a wry smile. "According to what you just said, the woman you are talking about is indeed not simple! I am not worried about the true identity of this woman now. I am just worried that once this matter is revealed, it may implicate many people, many high-ranking people. Man, do you understand what I mean?" When the director said these words, he kept paying attention to Tang Cheng's reaction.

Tang Cheng had already noticed the meaning in the player's eyes. After the player finished speaking, he said with a slight smile. "Don't worry about me! I only care about the target I found. From what we know so far, that person should be a Japanese spy. I just want to know if he has any accomplices in the city."

Tang Cheng acted very magnanimously, so the bureau chief couldn't say much, but he still snorted at Tang Cheng as a warning. Tang Cheng had no time to guess what the bureau chief was thinking at the moment. Anyway, he had handed over the case to the military commander. Tang Cheng didn't care at all what would happen in the future. Tang Cheng, who returned to the military camp later, informed Zhang Jianghe of the matter. The latter did not ask for the reason. It seemed that Zhang Jianghe had already learned the news.
