"Captain, there is a new situation. The woman from the shoe store has gone out again!" Tangcheng had just finished breakfast the next morning when he received the news from the surveillance team that the female owner of the shoe store had gone out again. Mitsuko Maeda went out today to meet another insider. Although this person was not a senior government official, he controlled a secret route in and out of Chongqing. Mitsuko Maeda had been transporting weapons and ammunition to Chongqing through the route controlled by this person.
"The target has left the city?" News continued to reach Tang Cheng. Knowing that the target actually left the city, Tang Cheng was somewhat confused. The target suddenly left the city, which meant that the members of the tracking team could not guarantee that they could continue to track the target. Tang Cheng was not thinking about these things at the moment. He was just wondering why the target left the city. According to what we have learned so far, the goal is just to leave the city alone, which shows that the goal is not to leave Chongqing.
"Ignore it for now!" It's not yet time for the search team to exert its efforts, so Tang Cheng can only choose to temporarily give up tracking the target when it cannot guarantee that it will continue to track the target. The surveillance work against targets in the city seems to have been incorporated into an endless cycle. Most of the team members participating in the surveillance operation have spent a lot of energy and time, and they all look very tired. Tang Cheng didn't say much about this. He just suggested to Zhang Jianghe and immediately issued a bonus.
The sudden bonus aroused the emotions of almost everyone in the search team. While Tang Cheng secretly laughed in his heart, he also saw that most of the people in the search team were not worthy of reuse. The temporary crisis seems to have passed, but Tangcheng also sees that if the surveillance operation continues for a long time, this kind of crisis may still arise. But Tang Cheng was not willing to arrest him immediately, because the other party's performance further strengthened his previous judgment.
The hope of hope in Tang Cheng's heart has not yet appeared. Now he can only hide in the dark and silently monitor these targets. At the same time, he also hopes that the Chongqing underground party organization will give a reply as soon as possible. Two days later, the hope in Tangcheng's heart finally appeared. The shoe store owner who had stayed outside the city for two days finally returned to the city. Moreover, two unfamiliar faces appeared next to the female shoe store owner who originally left the city alone. Lao Fu, who was relatively familiar with the situation outside the city, took the facial portrait drawings drawn by Tang Cheng and inquired outside the city for a while, and finally found out the details of the two unfamiliar faces.
"This Feng Rui, have we ever dealt with him?" After reading the summary of information sent by Lao Fu, Tang Cheng had a vague impression of this guy named Feng Rui. When Lao Fu heard this, he just nodded slightly, thinking that he had never dealt with him before! During the second round of the crackdown in the city, the search team captured many of Feng Rui's men. If someone from the garrison hadn't come forward to intercede, maybe Tangcheng would have also captured this guy named Feng Rui. He went to do hard labor in a labor camp outside the city.
"This Feng Rui was originally the leader of a group of low-life gangsters in the city. When we carried out the second round of crackdown in the city, we arrested many of his street gangsters. It was someone from the garrison who came forward to make peace. , we have no trouble with this person. Later we heard that Feng Rui took people out of the city to live, and it is said that this person now has contacts with many black market dealers." The information reported by Lao Fu at this moment was not included in the intelligence summary in Tangcheng's hands. , so he listened very carefully.
A gangster leader who made a living as a black market dealer had contact with the Japanese spies hiding in the city. Tang Cheng knew that there must be something inside that he didn't know. After thinking secretly in his heart, when Tang Cheng looked up again, there was already more determination in his eyes. "You immediately go find the black market dealers who are familiar with us. I want to know why this man named Feng Rui associates with these black market dealers. The most important thing is that he has many people under him. You need to find out what they rely on to make money." Money to support those gangsters under my command.”
After receiving the order, Lao Fu originally thought that Tang Cheng would ask him to investigate the inside story of Feng Rui and the female owner of the shoe store. But he didn't expect that the task given by Tang Cheng was to investigate a black marketeer who was familiar with this person. However, Lao Fu did not ask the doubts in his heart at this moment, and just nodded and left immediately. Waiting for the confused Lao Fu to leave the hotel door, he finally understood what Tang Cheng wanted to investigate on his own.
Lao Fu's investigation of Feng Rui was not slow. Before dinner time, Lao Fu returned to the hotel in the city with the investigation results. "You mean, this Feng Rui has a route in and out of Chongqing? So, he relies on this smuggling route to have close contacts with the black market dealers in the city?" The news brought back by Lao Fu really made Tang Tang Cheng didn't expect that a gangster leader who was once ignored by him would have such ability and opportunity!
"All the black market dealers who are familiar with us have confirmed this news, and I also went to find those from the garrison, and some of them also confirmed it." At this moment, Lao Fu, who was sitting across from Tangcheng, had the same expression on his face. Very ugly. "But no one who can confirm this news knows the specific situation of this route! Feng Rui is not very capable, but he is very cautious. Every time a black marketeer borrows this route, he must hand over the goods. It was transported into the city with the help of Feng Rui’s people.”
"In other words, this Feng Rui is more like an ancient escort. When a customer needs to use this route to transport supplies, his people will take over the final step into the city. Therefore, until now, even if he borrows it from Feng Rui, People who have traveled this route can't figure out whether the route everyone is talking about is true or false." What Lao Fu said made Tang Cheng so surprised that no one could hold back his laughter. According to the results of Lao Fu's investigation, Feng Rui should indeed have a secret route in and out of the city.
Tang Cheng suddenly laughed out loud at this moment, but it was not an angry laugh. He just suddenly figured out why the female owner of the shoe store suddenly left the city alone. "That's right! Feng Rui's territory is outside the city, and he also has a secret route in and out of the city. The woman in the shoe store must have gone to find Feng Rui when she went out of the city. The man who returned to the city with her The two Feng Rui's men are the best proof." Tang Cheng's words instantly woke up Lao Fu, and he made a sound, stretched out his hand and patted his forehead.
"That's right! That woman went out of the city to meet Feng Rui! The woman's real purpose was to get the secret route in Feng Rui's hands!" Lao Fu, who figured out the key points, immediately became energetic, and then He stood up and spoke eloquently. "The woman in the shoe store, when she contacted Feng Rui at this time, must have wanted to use the secret route mastered by Feng Rui to transport special items into the city, or to send people away from the city."
Although the results obtained by Lao Fu's analysis were not as comprehensive as Tang Cheng thought, they were almost the same. Therefore, Tang Cheng did not interrupt Lao Fu with words. He just listened to Lao Fu's analysis quietly. "I estimate that the woman in the shoe store should be preparing to send people out of the city, otherwise she won't be accompanied by two Feng Rui's men when she comes back." After Lao Fu made the final analysis, his eyes subconsciously looked at Towards Tangcheng.
Tang Cheng, who had never spoken, had a satisfied smile on his face. The search team had always been accustomed to obeying Tang Cheng's instructions. This caused the search team's work to come to a halt if Tang Cheng was not around. Tang Cheng has always intended to train Zhao Dashan and Lao Fu to take over some of the jobs that originally belonged to him. Now looking at Lao Fu's performance, Tang Cheng feels that his hope is finally at hand.
Lao Fu didn't know what the smile on Tang Cheng's face meant, so he suddenly seemed a little at a loss. Seeing this, Tang Cheng could only pick up the cigarette and throw it to him. When Lao Fu sat down again, he lit one. After smoking a cigarette, Tang Cheng finally spoke. "Your analysis just now was not wrong, especially because you were able to make the analysis that the female owner of the shoe store wanted to send people away based on the two people who appeared next to the target. This is very rare."
Tang Cheng's praise was very direct, but before Lao Fu could get excited, Tang Cheng changed the subject and his tone changed accordingly. "But you just ignored one thing, that is, the shoe store has not revealed it yet. Why did they send people away at this time? The targets we found on the dock are still staying in the city well, and they did not notice that they were being We monitor and track. We have speculated before that the shoe store may be a material point, and as the person in charge of controlling the material point, he will definitely not be the first person to evacuate."
Tang Cheng's words made Lao Fu frown. Indeed, as Tang Cheng said just now, the female owner of the shoe store should never be the first person to evacuate Chongqing, so why did she go out of the city to contact Feng Rui? Doubts arose in Lao Fu's mind, and as time went by, there were more and more doubts in his mind. Tang Cheng, who also lit a cigarette, paused and just smoked while looking at Lao Fu silently. He hoped that Lao Fu could figure out the reason for himself. Unfortunately, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment brought to Tang Cheng. Lao Fu did not understand what Tang Cheng's subtle hint was.
After shaking his head helplessly, Tang Cheng could only remind the other party, "Look, this Feng Rui has a secret route in and out of the city. The female owner of the shoe store contacted Feng Rui at this time, 100% for this route. , this is not wrong. What you need to pay attention to is that the people in the shoe store only briefly contacted the main target under our surveillance twice, and they only passed on two pieces of information at most! And this main target did not enter the hospital at the same time. What does this mean when they come into contact with other targets in the city? It means that their actions have not yet started. How can the people in the shoe store leave Chongqing at this time? "
