The strict investigation led by the military commander made the atmosphere in Chongqing city tense, but they checked back and forth for several days, but still had no clue. The bureau chief thought of Tang Cheng at this time, but when Tang Cheng received the call, he poured bitter tears on the bureau chief on the phone. "Secretary, it's not that I won't help. I've got some clues here, and I'm preparing to report to you and apply for manual support!" Tang Cheng has long known the situation of the Liu family's smuggling warehouse on the dock through his informants. It's almost done. I'm telling the bureau chief this now, just because I don't want to participate in the strict investigation.
Compared with bringing down the Liu family, the missing materials in the black market were obviously not a big deal. The bureau chief on the other end of the phone learned that there had been progress in Tangcheng, and he immediately became interested. "Through our continuous surveillance and tracking during this period, we have currently locked several targets. I am thinking that as long as we control these guys, we will definitely get the answers and clues we want from them." Faced with this. When the bureau chief asked, Tang Cheng gave a very general answer, but this aroused the bureau chief's interest even more.
An hour later, the bureau leader came to the military camp with his people. Tang Cheng had long expected this and pretended to be surprised. "Secretary, why are you here? I was thinking of going to you with the information to report in person later!" Just saying a few nice words can save a lot of trouble. With such an opportunity, Tangcheng How could it be missed. The people who came with the bureau chief were all people from the Second Division. When Tang Cheng followed Zhang Jianghe to attend a meeting at the military command headquarters, he had met them all and they were all considered acquaintances.
The bureau chief was obviously here because of what Tang Cheng had said on the phone before, so after just a few words of greeting, the bureau chief got straight to the point and asked Tang Cheng about the progress of the dock and warehouse. Tang Cheng was also unambiguous. He directly took out the information he had prepared and handed it to the bureau chief before speaking. "After our continuous surveillance, it is still not certain that the warehouse on the dock is related to the Liu family. But we have identified several key targets. These key targets are people who often go to the dock warehouse to ship goods. . We now have reason to suspect that these guys who shipped the goods are agents of the Liu family. That’s why I said before that as long as we control a few of them, we can get the answers we want." Tang The information prepared by Cheng was quite detailed, especially the photos of several key targets included in the information.
After reading the information, the bureau chief also felt that the suggestions given by Tang Cheng were indeed practical. Moreover, the military commander was good at using a few clues to uncover the hidden big fish. The director came and left quickly, and when he left, he took the information with him. The director took away the information, which meant that the matter at the dock warehouse had nothing to do with the search team. Tang Cheng did not express disappointment in this. Tang Cheng did not express his position, but Zhao Dashan and the others were a little impatient. After all, they had been sleeping on the dock for so many days.
"Okay! Let's just treat it as a loss this time!" In front of Zhao Dashan and the others, Tang Cheng put the two approval slips signed by the bureau into the drawer of his desk. As compensation, before leaving, the director personally signed two approval slips to Tang Cheng. One is for a thousand rounds of pistol ammunition and five hundred rounds of rifle ammunition, and the other is for two hundred liters of gasoline. Now in Chongqing, two hundred liters of gasoline are far more valuable than those fifteen hundred rounds of ammunition. Difficult to do.
But even so, in the eyes of Zhao Dashan and others, this thing is not as beneficial as taking over the dock warehouse. After collecting the approval slip, Tang Cheng saw that Zhao Dashan and the others still looked impatient, so he had no choice but to explain. "I have told you a long time ago that the smuggling warehouse on the dock is probably related to the Liu family. You are all locals in Chongqing. Don't you know that the Liu family is not to be messed with? If I don't hand over this case to Military Commander, once the Liu family finds out, we are secretly investigating their smuggling warehouse, who do you think will suffer in the end?"
After saying this, Tang Cheng paused and stretched out his hand to look at the desktop of his desk, "Once this matter overturns, we may not even be able to get these two approval slips! What's more, this time the bureau chief came directly. Here, he has already spoken, how can you ask me to refuse?" Tang Cheng directly put the responsibility on the bureau leader. Anyway, Zhao Dashan and the others did not dare to go to the bureau leader for confirmation, so Tang Cheng could not Said without any pressure. Sure enough, when Tang Cheng mentioned the bureau seat in his words, Zhao Dashan and others had no choice but to accept this fact.
"Okay! Don't be discouraged yet! Although the matter of the dock and warehouse has been handed over to the military command headquarters, we can still make a move on that fat man named Wang!" In the information that Tang Cheng gave to the bureau before, There are several key targets that the search team has identified, but the bureau does not know that the key targets that the search team is targeting are not limited to those listed in the information. The fat man surnamed Wang in Tangcheng's mouth was a black marketeer who had recently emerged in the city. This man was engaged in the tobacco business.
Tangcheng has always looked down upon opium dealers. This is something everyone on the search team knows. Moreover, when Tangcheng formed the search team, they made it clear that the search team would not want opium smokers. Comparing the Liu family's smuggling warehouse on the dock with the cigarette dealer named Wang, they are basically comparing watermelons to sesame seeds. But the problem now is that it is better to get sesame seeds than to lose everything. After Zhao Dashan and others thought about it secretly, they had no choice but to accept it, and everyone's mood gradually improved.
On the afternoon of that day, Tang Cheng personally led a team and secretly captured the cigarette dealer named Wang in the south of the city. Based on his confession, he found two batches of cigarettes and some black market materials at the dock and in the south of the city. After counting all the seizures, Zhao Dashan and others immediately became happy, because together with these two batches of tobacco and black market materials, they can earn more than a thousand oceans at least. "Captain, this is only the price for the smoke and a small amount of materials we collected. In addition, Fatty Wang is willing to spend another thousand oceans alone as a favor fee for us."
The interrogation of Fatty Wang is Zhao Dashan's business, so Tang Cheng has no doubts about what Zhao Dashan is saying now. Just punishing a tobacco dealer can bring benefits of more than 2,000 yuan. Tangcheng did not expect this in advance. Seeing the excitement on Zhao Dashan's expression, Tang Cheng immediately nodded and said, "I don't care about other things, but this fat man's mouth must not talk nonsense after he goes out! Moreover, those offline people who bought cigarettes from him, He must explain clearly."
Tang Cheng's last words reminded Zhao Dashan, and I don't know what method he used. The cigarette dealer surnamed Wang, who was imprisoned in the basement, happily confessed all his cigarettes. The search team had nothing else to do in the past few days, so Tangcheng just let Zhao Dashan and the others mess around, but they didn't expect that Zhao Dashan and the others would catch all the offline people that Fatty Wang had told them about in one go, causing the people in Chongqing to Tobacco prices continue to rise.
Tang Cheng has no interest in paying attention to these trivial matters now. The Zhongtong side that he is paying close attention to seems to have overcome the difficulties. The number of Zhongtong plainclothes everywhere in the city has been greatly reduced. They seem to have given up on continuing to hunt down underground parties in the city. . "Something's wrong!" Tang Cheng, who didn't feel relaxed because of this, his first reaction was that he felt that Zhongtong's current behavior was very abnormal. According to his understanding of Zhongtong, how could Zhongtong, which had suffered such a huge loss, suddenly choose to cease operations.
Sure enough, that night, Tang Cheng appeared in disguise in the backyard of Buzhuang and got the note from Huang Pingliu from under the water tank. Only then did he know that the reason why Zhongtong behaved so abnormally was because Zhongtong had successfully captured a man in the east of the city. Two operatives of the southern Sichuan guerrillas were captured. Although the Chongqing underground party organization has a large number of people, their operatives have almost been lost after being rounded up by the Central Government several times. In order to respond to Tangcheng's plan, Chongqing's underground party organization could only temporarily borrow operational manpower from the southern Sichuan guerrillas.
The two southern Sichuan guerrilla operatives who were captured by the Central Command in the east of the city should not have happened. They were arrested entirely for personal reasons. One of the arrested persons had a sister who married in Chongqing. According to the plan, the two people were supposed to evacuate Chongqing immediately. But the arrested man had to go to the east of the city to visit his sister before leaving. It didn't matter at first glance. He happened to be spotted by the plainclothes officers deployed by Zhongtong in the east of the city. Relying on the overwhelming number of people, the plainclothes officers of Zhongtong simply arrested the person.
After reading the content on the note, Tang Cheng also frowned. The Chongqing underground party organization still had illusions because when the two guerrillas were arrested, they did not carry weapons or items that would reveal their identity. The Chongqing underground party organization can only hope that the Central Government will arrest people randomly. As long as the two guerrillas can persist, and the Central Government has no evidence, then the Central Government may release them.
But Tang Cheng didn’t think so, because he understood the Zhongtong’s style of doing things. Even if the two guerrillas didn’t confess, and the Zhongtong didn’t have conclusive evidence, Tang Cheng didn’t feel that the Zhongtong would let him go in the end. people. After thinking about it secretly, Tang Cheng left a new note to Buzhuang and then quietly left Buzhuang's backyard. Tang Cheng left a message to Huang Ping, just asking the Chongqing underground party organization to stand still while he would find a way to investigate the matter.
The search team also had a store in the east of the city, and there was more than one. Tang Cheng found a random reason the next day and learned from the shopkeeper in the east of the city about the process of Zhongtong arresting people in the east of the city. According to the shopkeeper, the two people arrested by Zhongtong did not resist at that time, and the number of people arrested by Zhongtong from the east of the city was not two, but five. After learning the inside story, Tang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Zhongtong was really arresting people randomly and was not really targeting the two southern Sichuan guerrillas.
