Tang Cheng didn't know what Zhang Jianghe was thinking, but he had a good grasp of the Bureau's thoughts. Knowing that the search team had targeted people from the Anti-Smuggling Department, the director felt comfortable because this was an opportunity to control the Anti-Smuggling Department. Although this Jiang Yong is only a section chief of the Anti-Smuggling Department, as long as the military commander's undercover is given the opportunity to rise up in the Anti-Smuggling Department, he may continue to be promoted and control the Anti-Smuggling Department in the future. The director still trusted Tang Cheng, so he did not send anyone and secretly kept an eye on the search team.
After grasping the bureau chief's thoughts, Tang Cheng completely took charge of the job and left all surveillance and tracking matters to Zhao Dashan and the others. Tang Cheng just wandered around the city every day. After several days, Zhao Dashan and the others finally made a new discovery. The shopkeeper surnamed Huang of Buzhuang did have close contacts with Jiang Yong. Their relationship was definitely not as simple as coming to make clothes. "Don't worry about anything else, just keep an eye on Buzhuang!" After receiving the report, Tang Cheng immediately gave instructions.
Two days passed quickly. Zhao Dashan and the others were still closely monitoring Buzhuang every day, but Zhongtong made new moves. The last operation to arrest the top leaders of the underground party in Chongqing failed. The Central Government felt that there was an internal problem, so they conducted a rigorous internal investigation, but found nothing. The new action of the Central Committee also came from a report from an insider. There seems to be a senior insider in Chongqing's underground party organization.
According to the insider's report, the recent actions of Chongqing's underground party organization were all provided by this senior insider. The existence of this senior insider is only known to a few senior leaders of the organization. The underground party members who really know the identity of this insider are outside the senior leadership. The Central Commander's new move this time was aimed at this senior insider. After several failed actions, they stubbornly believed that this senior insider was lurking in their Central Commander.
In order to find and successfully capture this high-level insider lurking among them, several senior personnel of Zhongtong, after careful discussion, formulated a plan codenamed Scavenger. Most of the Central Command personnel who learned that there would be a major operation in the near future did not know about it, and the few who knew about it did not know the actual content of the Scavenger Plan. When Tangcheng learned of this incident, Zhongtong's scavenger operation had already begun. They learned the lessons from the previous times this time, and no news was leaked in advance.
When Tang Cheng heard the news for the first time, he didn't take it seriously at first. However, when he learned that a large number of plainclothes soldiers from the Central Government suddenly appeared in the southern area of the city, it was too late to notify Huang Ping. The southern area of the city is a mixed bag of people, with almost everyone there. It is not only a favorite hiding place for Japanese and puppet spies, it is also a good place for Chongqing's underground party organizations to hide their whereabouts. The sudden appearance of a large number of Central Government plainclothes figures on the streets frightened all the religious leaders in the southern area of the city, and also frightened the underground party members hiding here.
Zhongtong had a strict plan this time and acted quickly. By the time the underground party members in the Chengnan area discovered that something was wrong, they could no longer leave the Chengnan area. Tang Cheng, who was wandering around the city, was also blocked in the southern area of the city, so he immediately noticed something was wrong. Seeing the menace of these plainclothes officers, Tang Cheng, who did not want to conflict with them, got into the teahouse on the street early and waited to watch the excitement.
The sound of gunshots inevitably appeared on the streets in the south of the city. A middle-aged man acting suspiciously was chased by several plainclothes officers across the street where the teahouse was located. Tang Cheng, who was sitting in front of the teahouse, did not move at all. Before confirming the identity of the middle-aged man, Tang Cheng could only sit and watch the excitement. The middle-aged man who was being chased was not very lucky. Before he could reach the intersection in front, he was hit in the left leg by a bullet fired from behind. The middle-aged man who was shot in the leg immediately fell into a ball in the street and was pinned down by the plainclothes Zhongtong men who rushed up from behind.
As soon as they took action, they caught a guy with a weapon hidden on his body. These plainclothes officers were all immersed in extreme excitement at this moment. What they didn't expect was that the middle-aged man they were pressing down struggled hard at first, but stopped moving after a few moments. After everyone got up, they discovered that the middle-aged man they were holding down had black blood coming out of his mouth. He had obviously taken poison. "No! This guy is not an underground party, he looks like a Japanese spy!"
Many senior plainclothes officers in the Central Committee knew that hiding poison in their collars and mouths was an essential skill for Japanese and puppet spies. People in the underground party were hard-nosed, and they didn't even bother to do this kind of thing. The plainclothes Central Command officers who stood in a circle and stared blankly at the middle-aged man were all dumbfounded, thinking to themselves that even if you were a Japanese spy, there was no need to commit suicide by taking poison as soon as you got into trouble! Catching an underground party member is naturally impossible to compare with catching a Japanese spy. Such a good achievement, which was almost in vain, was ruined. The plainclothes of the Central Committee present felt very angry. Come everywhere.
Tang Cheng, who was sitting in the teahouse, could see clearly. He had already turned on the triple eyepiece skill and could clearly see the process just now. He did not expect that the middle-aged man being chased by Zhongtong's plainclothes was actually a Japanese puppet. spy. Tang Cheng, who also lamented the loss of a good opportunity in his heart, now sat more firmly. He wanted to know what the Zhongtong people were going to do in the south of the city. Tang Cheng, who had no intention of getting involved, just wanted to be a bystander, but his plan was quickly ruined.
Tang Cheng had conflicts with the Zhongtong as early as when he was in Nanjing. After moving south to Chongqing, he had constant conflicts with the Zhongtong. He even killed people directly in the Zhongtong headquarters compound. Although there was no evidence from Zhongtong to prove that Tang Cheng was responsible for that long-distance sniper killing, many people in Zhongtong firmly remembered Tang Cheng. What's more, they even remembered Tang Cheng's appearance because they were worried that one day they would accidentally conflict with Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng hid in the teahouse and only wanted to be a spectator. However, among the other plainclothes officers who came over after hearing the news, some of them happened to have seen Tang Cheng. Inadvertently, he turned his head and saw the plainclothes central commander in Tangcheng. His first reaction was to subconsciously turn his eyes and pretend that he had not seen Tangcheng. As soon as this guy turned around, he informed the little leader who commanded them about what happened in Tang Cheng in the teahouse. "Captain Li, I'm absolutely right, that person is Tang Cheng from the search team! I saw him with my own eyes when he came to the headquarters last time!"
The little leader, who was called Team Li by his plainclothes subordinates, immediately used the team members around him as cover and glanced at the teahouse on the street in a very subtle way. He rarely stayed in the Zhongtong headquarters. He had only heard of Tangcheng's name, but had never actually seen Tangcheng. Therefore, even if his eyes swept over Tangcheng, he did not recognize him immediately. Come to Tangcheng. The plainclothes central commander who had just spoken in a low voice immediately realized that his captain might not even know who Tang Cheng was.
"Captain Li, that's the young man sitting by the door, with a newspaper on the table." Under the signal of his team members, the little leader named Li finally identified who Tang Cheng was. The search team is now quite famous, so many people who see Tang Cheng for the first time will be subconsciously surprised by how young Tang Cheng is, and Zhongtong, the little leader named Li, is no exception. "Captain Li, although this guy surnamed Tang looks young, there are at least 100 Japanese and puppet agents in his hands."
The kind reminder from his team members was originally to remind his captain not to ask for trouble and start a conflict with Tang Cheng. It's just that his kindness was of no use today. The more he reminded him, the more the little leader named Li wanted to rectify Tangcheng. Anyway, there were many people here, and Tangcheng watched. Just being alone. Tang Cheng, who originally only planned to watch the excitement, found someone on the street outside looking at him with a strange expression, but he didn't realize that trouble was approaching him.
When Zhongtong, the little leader named Li, led his team members directly across the street and appeared at the door of the teahouse, something went wrong in Tangcheng. However, Tang Cheng did not panic. He just reached into his pocket and took out the ID and placed it on the table. Then he took out his commonly used m1911 pistol from his carry-on equipment bag and placed it next to the ID. By doing this, Tang Cheng took the initiative to reveal his identity. If these plain-clothes Zhongtong officials were ignorant, then he would have an excuse to fight back.
How could this little leader named Li from Zhongtong have imagined that Tangcheng's response would be so quick. They just walked to the door of the teahouse and looked up at Tang Cheng, who was looking at them. They had already shown their weapons and IDs. Now they had no excuse to cause trouble. However, he did not intend to give up, but walked into the teahouse with his team members. Everyone else in the teahouse also saw Tang Cheng's reaction. When they saw Tang Cheng take out his pistol and ID and slap it on the table, they knew something was going to happen.
Sure enough, several people who came in from outside walked directly to Tang Cheng. Among them, the person who seemed to be the leader pulled out his chair and sat down opposite Tang Cheng. "Captain Tang is so cheerful! I mean, your search team has been too busy these days. How come Captain Tang is still free, sitting here drinking tea and reading the newspaper?" The little leader named Li from Zhongtong , looked at Tang Cheng with a chuckle.
Tang Cheng, who was sitting opposite him, didn't even raise his eyelids at this moment and only opened his mouth to say four words. "It's none of your business!" The little leader of Zhongtong named Li was so angry at these four words spoken by Tang Cheng. But he didn't dare to point his finger at Tang Cheng's nose and fight back, because he didn't know if anyone from the search team was still in the teahouse. The other party's forbearance was a bit beyond Tang Cheng's expectation, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the four words he just said were not intended to provoke a fight.
