Mitsuko Maeda mistakenly thought that what his brother was talking about was the Second Division of the Military Command, but he didn't know that what was targeting them now was a search team that was more difficult to deal with. After the brother and sister discussed quietly in the backyard for a while, Mitsuko Maeda immediately left the shoe store. She was going to find an insider she had secretly developed to inquire about the situation. As soon as Mitsuko Maeda came out of the shoe store, the search team guarding diagonally across the street secretly took a photo, and then quietly followed her as if nothing had happened.
Out of caution, Mitsuko Maeda did not go directly to find his insider after leaving the shoe store. Instead, he walked around the city for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal behind him, he diverted to the meeting place agreed with the insider. The two teams responsible for tracking Maeda Mitsuko saw with their own eyes the man who met Maeda Mitsuko. They immediately divided a group of people to stare at the new strange man and successfully took a frontal photo of him.
For a whole day, the search team, including Tang Cheng, only monitored and followed. As time went by and the target people moved frequently, more new targets were monitored and tracked by the search team. During dinner, all the films taken by the search team in the city were developed. Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe, who stayed in the office to eat, looked through the photos that had just been developed while eating.
"I know this person. He should be a staff officer of the Logistics Department in the Military and Political Department. When I went out to drink with some old friends from the headquarters last time, I happened to meet some people from the Military and Political Department in a restaurant, and this person was among them. "The photo Zhang Jianghe picked out happened to be the man who secretly met Mitsuko Maeda. Tang Cheng's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and a bad idea vaguely rose in his heart.
"The main target we are staring at met someone in a teahouse. After the contacter left the teahouse, he went to a shoe store. The person you picked out had a secret meeting with the female owner of the shoe store. If you confirm This person is from the Ministry of Military Affairs, so this is a troublesome matter. I have reason to suspect that the shoe store is a secret stronghold of Japanese and puppet agents in the city. The female owner of the shoe store may be the person in charge of this secret stronghold. .”
Although some content in Tang Cheng's words had been hidden, Zhang Jianghe immediately understood that there was obviously something wrong with a military and political officer who secretly contacted the person in charge of the Japanese and puppet spy base. Tang Cheng did not stop him. Zhang Jianghe called the bureau chief to inform him of the situation. When Zhang Jianghe was on the phone with the bureau chief, Tang Cheng sat at the table and listened carefully. "Are you sure?" The reaction of the bureau chief was indeed similar to what Tang Cheng expected. The bureau chief on the other end of the phone first showed suspicion, and then he expressed deep hatred.
"More and more people are going south. Now not only the military and administrative departments, but also the army are full of such unidentified people. I have already informed the military and administrative departments and asked them to conduct internal inspections, but those guys don't do anything at all. Listen. I know everything you just said. Just keep watching. If you find there is a real problem, arrest it directly and don't be soft." The attitude of the bureau chief was not beyond Tang Cheng's expectation, because he had already You know, what the bureau chief hates most is betrayal, especially the traitors hiding in important departments, who are the most destructive.
With the support of the bureau, Zhang Jianghe was completely relieved, so during the search team's second day's operation, Zhang Jianghe dispatched almost all the men of the search team into the city. Apart from him, only a few team members remained in the military camp. their families. With enough manpower that can be deployed at will, coupled with the assistance of the search team in the shops in the city, Tangcheng has a lot of confidence when entering the city. At least there is no need to call back to the military camp to temporarily mobilize manpower like yesterday.
Throughout the morning, all the targets that had been monitored by the search team had not left their footing, including the brothers Kobayashi Hiroshi and Maeda who were active the day before. Just when most of the search team members mistakenly thought that the other party was aware of it, news came from the military command. The Second Military Command intercepted a batch of arms trying to be smuggled into the city outside the city in the early morning. The sudden appearance of Xiao Linhao's group made Tang Cheng feel that the search team had caught a big fish this time. At this moment, the news that the Second Military Command intercepted a large number of arms made Tang Cheng's idea of catching a big fish become clearer.
The time soon arrived in the afternoon, and Xiao Linhao, who had been staying at the foothold all morning, left the place again. When he saw the target appearing with a briefcase in his hand, Tang Cheng decided to follow him personally. After leaving his residence, Xiao Linhao found a place to eat first, just like yesterday, and then started walking aimlessly along the street. Tang Cheng, who followed the target all the way, did not relax because of this. Instead, he felt that the target was likely to come out to meet again today.
After following the target for almost two hours, Tang Cheng finally saw the target entering a trading house. Although the target looked like he was entering a trading house to discuss business, Tang Cheng felt that something was wrong. Tang Cheng did not arrange for anyone to follow up with the company to find out what was going on. He just ordered to keep an eye on the company, and then followed the target who came out of the company and returned to the target's residence. Xiao Linhao thought he was being cautious, but he didn't know that Tang Cheng, who was following him all the way, had already seen through his methods.
"Immediately investigate the trading bank that the target entered! Then report the situation to the military command headquarters and ask them to take action against the trading bank." Although the target's entry and exit from the trading bank seemed normal, Tang Cheng discovered that the official document that the target had been holding in his hand Bag, after he entered and exited the business office, the weight of the briefcase had changed. Obviously, after the target entered the business office with the briefcase, he must have taken something out of the briefcase and left it in the business office, otherwise the weight of the briefcase would never have changed.
The carry-on equipment bag owned by Tangcheng has a prescribed storage limit. This storage limit is not based on the volume of the items stored, but the weight of the items. Therefore, Tangcheng is very sensitive to the weight of the items. The briefcase that the target was carrying when he left his residence obviously contained heavy objects. After the target left the business office, when he inadvertently shook his arms while walking, the amplitude of the swing of the briefcase proved that the weight of the briefcase had been reduced.
According to Tang Cheng's order, the name of the trading company was quickly reported to the military command headquarters. The bureau chief who received Zhang Jianghe's call did not hesitate at all and immediately handed the matter over to the Second Military Reunification Division. Although I don't know why the bureau chief wanted to investigate a trading company on his own, the Second Military Unification Office did not dare to neglect and immediately used its own channels to launch an investigation. By handing over the trading bank to the Military Command Headquarters, Tangcheng no longer has to keep the row of people watching here. Although this can be regarded as sharing the credit and benefits with the Military Command 2, Tangcheng will also have less trouble.
After dinner that day, all the information that the search team had learned so far was compiled together. In a room on the second floor of the hotel in the city, Tang Cheng and Zhang Jiang were studying the compiled intelligence. Different from the past, Zhang Jianghe suggested arresting people immediately this time, but Tang Cheng was opposed to it. "Uncle, I have a hunch this time. We will definitely catch a big fish this time. If we catch someone now, we will inevitably scare the snake away."
Zhang Jianghe did not speak immediately when he heard this. He just lit a cigarette first. After smoking half of the cigarette, Zhang Jianghe spoke. "Based on the current situation, the targets you are targeting are indeed not simple, but it is hard to say whether there are big fish among them. All our manpower is now devoted to this case. If there are new ones, When the target appears, we have reached a point where no one can do it. Can you still hand over the key points to the Second Division for free? "
When Zhang Jianghe said this, Tang Cheng immediately understood what Zhang Jianghe was worried about. He immediately just smiled, and then chuckled and said, "Uncle, you just like to worry! How can I not know the virtues of those people in the second office? It doesn't matter if you give them some benefits. The military commander is now powerful , if we don’t rely on them, how can little people like us protect our families. In this current case, the big head should be at the back. As long as we nail these main targets, our benefits will definitely be indispensable. "
Tang Cheng's persuasion did not dissipate Zhang Jianghe's worries, but in the end he was unable to defeat Tang Cheng. In the end, he had to agree to continue to monitor the target and stay put for the time being. Tang Cheng put almost all his energy on this case, but these targets under surveillance have yet to take any concrete actions. Even Tang Cheng himself has some doubts about his previous judgment. A few days passed quickly, and under Zhang Jianghe's continuous urging, Tang Cheng had to start formulating an arrest plan.
The big fish was right in front of him, but he still couldn't catch it. Anger slowly built up in Tang Cheng's heart. At this time, Tangcheng had completely forgotten the old Chinese saying that things are unpredictable. Just when Zhang Jianghe urged him to take action again, the situation finally changed. Xiao Linhao, who had been huddled in his residence for many days, left his residence early this morning and went to the teahouse last time. This sudden new situation made Tang Cheng overjoyed. He felt that the opportunity had finally come.
It was still the same teahouse as last time, but the time was moved forward a lot. This time Tang Cheng personally took action. Only a few minutes after Xiao Linhao entered the teahouse, he also entered the teahouse with a team member. Tang Cheng was dressed as a student this time, but the team member who entered the teahouse with him was dressed as Brother Pao. The two of them dressed up as uncles and nephews who came to the teahouse to set up the Dragon Gate Formation and teach math. Most of the teahouses in Chongqing have a Paoge background, so the scene of setting up the Longmen array and teaching arithmetic will often occur in the teahouse, and will not attract special attention from other tea drinkers.
