Tangcheng went to Jiangbei alone, and whether he went there or came back, Tangcheng deliberately concealed his whereabouts. Therefore, even if the bureau chief suspected that the farce in Jiangbei was related to Tangcheng, he had no conclusive evidence to prove his suspicion. Unable to get the answer he wanted from Zhang Jianghe, the bureau chief found an excuse to call Tang's house. When he learned that Tang Cheng was not at home at the moment, the bureau chief sent someone to look for Tang Cheng in the city.
At this time, Tang Cheng was at the dock, drinking tea and chatting with the plainclothes agents deployed here by the military command headquarters. After Tangcheng handed over the command of the search team to the Second Military Reunification Division, the Second Military Reunification Division, eager to show off, immediately deployed many plainclothes officers at the dock according to the previous actions of the search team, and watched the entry and exit of the dock every day. suspicious person. The plainclothes leader responsible for monitoring the dock today happened to be someone Tang Cheng knew. After a few words of greeting, Tang Cheng took the other party to the teahouse.
The pursuit of the Qisehua Group is considered a big secret in the military headquarters, so these plainclothes military commanders don't know the real purpose of Tang Cheng's presence here. Seeing that Tang Cheng kept asking them about the entry and exit of goods on the dock, they all thought that Tang Cheng was inquiring about black market smuggling. But since Tang Cheng asked about the dock, these plainclothes military commanders did not hide it.
"The situation at the dock is not very good now. We have been here for three days. Every day we only see ships coming from the north to transport people, and there are very few cargo ships." The leader of the plainclothes leader picked up his tea cup. , whispered to Tang Cheng, then raised his neck and poured the tea in the cup into his mouth. "The superiors just told us to stay here and keep an eye on the situation on the dock, but they didn't tell us what to do specifically! It's so difficult every day!"
Faced with the complaints of these plainclothes military commanders, Tang Cheng didn't say much. He had just walked to the dock as a habit, and happened to meet these familiar faces. He had no intention of talking to these guys. Inquire about the internal affairs of the military commander. Tang Cheng patiently accompanied these plainclothes military commanders, sat in the teahouse and drank tea for a while, then found an excuse to get up and leave. Just as Tang Cheng walked out of the teahouse, a ship docked at the pier. A middle-aged man wearing a top hat and a long gown followed a few young people ashore.
After leaving the teahouse, Tang Cheng had no intention of continuing to wander around the dock. He had not yet decided where to go, so he just walked aimlessly along the street. Less than 20 meters away from the street entrance in front, Tang Cheng was passed by a man in a long gown carrying a rattan box in his hand. At first, Tang Cheng did not notice the man in a long gown. He just habitually observed both sides of the street as he walked. Pedestrian situation. He really noticed the man in the long gown because of the rattan box he was carrying, because Tang Cheng had seen the same rattan box more than once.
Rattan boxes used for long journeys are not uncommon in Chongqing, but the rattan box carried by the man in the long gown is different from other rattan boxes in terms of style. Then there is an inconspicuous secret mark engraved on the handle of the rattan box. Among the Japanese spies captured by the search team before, some had rattan boxes with such a secret mark. Tang Cheng, who had already noticed the secret mark on the handle of the rattan box, was laughing secretly in his heart at this moment, wondering if the logistics personnel of the Japanese and puppet intelligence agencies had purchased a lot of this style for the sake of convenience, and all had them in the same position. The secret rattan box!
Tang Cheng, who noticed the secret mark on the handle of the rattan box, had basically concluded that there was something wrong with the man in the long gown. Tang Cheng did not immediately use the system skills to scan the opponent's identity. He just slowly accelerated his pace and followed the opponent quietly. He wanted to know where the target was going. The man in long gown carrying the rattan box in his hand did not realize at this time that he was being followed.
It wasn't until he passed the intersection in front that he felt something was wrong, but he didn't look back and continued to walk forward with the flow of people. Although his hesitation was only a slight pause, he could not escape Tang Cheng's eyes, so Tang Cheng immediately slowed down and used system skills to lock on the opponent first. After the man in the long gown entered another street, he pretended to look at the goods displayed in the shop windows on the street, but he was actually using the reflection of the street windows to observe the situation around him.
But at this time, Tangcheng had already stopped at the street entrance. In addition, the people coming and going at the street entrance provided Tangcheng with the best cover, so the counter-reconnaissance method of the man in the long gown did not work. The man in the long gown didn't find anything unusual, but he didn't give up. He then used counter-reconnaissance methods many times, but found nothing unusual. Tang Cheng, who was following him from afar, was now more certain of the identity of the man in the long gown. About an hour later, Tang Cheng followed his target and appeared outside a hotel door.
What Tang Cheng didn't expect was that the hotel the target entered was owned by the family of a deputy leader of the local garrison. After discovering that this hotel belonged to an acquaintance's family, Tang Cheng did not follow him immediately. Instead, he first found a place and called the deputy leader. "Brother, don't move yet, I'll rush over right away!" The deputy commander of the garrison who received the call mistakenly thought that Tang Cheng was going to lead the team to arrest him in his hotel after listening to Tang Cheng explaining the situation on the phone. People will rush over soon.
Tang Cheng took the initiative to call the deputy captain. His original intention was not to make things too ugly, and he also believed that there could be no relationship between the target of entering the hotel and the deputy captain. But ten minutes later, the deputy captain, who was playing mahjong a few streets away, hurried over with two of his cronies. "Brother, you have something to talk about!" The deputy captain, who had not figured out the situation yet, secretly stuffed two gold bars into Tang Cheng, making Tang Cheng dumbfounded.
"Lao Xie, what are you doing? We are old friends. Since we are friends, don't come here!" Tang Cheng, who was amused by the monkey's anxious look, thought to himself that he would just tease him. So Tang Cheng kept a straight face and gave the other party the gold bar in his hand with a stern expression. This move immediately put Deputy Captain Xie in trouble. Although Tang Cheng is young, he has a reputation for being ruthless. Especially the senior officials of the garrison who were the first to deal with Tang Cheng knew that Tang Cheng was a ruthless person.
The two gold bars that Deputy Commander Xie took out were originally to test Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng replaced the gold bars with his own hands, which made Deputy Commander Xie confused. Could it be that the problem in his hotel was as big as Tang Cheng's? The city is unwilling to be accommodating? Although many people in the city already know that Tangcheng has handed over the command of the search team, many of them know that Tangcheng has a deep relationship with the military command. If you go to the military command bureau to appreciate Tang Cheng, then It can’t be faked!
"Brother, if it doesn't work, just tell me the number. As long as he can bring it out, there will be no problem!" Deputy Commander Xie, who had been punished, simply gritted his teeth and handed the initiative to Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng, who had been holding back his laughter, finally couldn't hold it in anymore and finally laughed out loud. Tang Cheng put his arm around Deputy Commander Xie's shoulders, whispered in his ear, and explained the matter in detail. After repeated assurances, Deputy Commander Xie felt relieved.
"Lao Xie, I am a person who can do what I say!" After the other party's mood stabilized, Tang Cheng said seriously. "I'm calling you just to confirm whether the target I'm following is related to you. If not, that would be the best. If there is a relationship between you, I can give you a chance to make amends." Tang Cheng was not trying to deceive the other party by saying this. Although the garrison was just a grassroots team, the garrison was composed of local households in Chongqing, and most of them were disciples of Brother Pao.
These seemingly inconspicuous little characters have an intricate network of connections in Chongqing. Tang Cheng intends to make good friends with them, thinking that one day his family will be able to use these people when he encounters difficulties. Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't seem to be lying to him, Deputy Commander Xie was truly relieved. After putting the gold bars returned by Tang Cheng into his pocket, Deputy Commander Xie spoke. "Brother, I really want to thank you this time! Don't worry, I have absolutely no contact with those messy people!"
The target that Tang Cheng had targeted early with his system skills was still in the hotel room. After discussing in low voices with Deputy Commander Xie, Deputy Commander Xie, who was wearing casual clothes, followed Tang Cheng's instructions and entered the hotel in one step. When the hotel manager saw his boss coming, he naturally greeted him with a smile on his face and offered him tea and cigarettes. Tang Cheng, who was pretending to be a follower, remained calm because it was all about Deputy Captain Xie's performance.
Deputy Captain Xie pretended to ask about the hotel's operating conditions, and then took the hotel registration book handed over by the hotel manager and read it page by page. Tang Cheng, pretending to be an entourage, stood behind Deputy Commander Xie, so he could clearly see the contents of every page in the hotel registration book. The target Tang Cheng was following had just checked into this hotel almost half an hour ago. Tang Cheng kept staring at the hotel and found no one else checking into the hotel, so the name that appeared at the end of the registration book was the identity used by the target to check in.
Huang Sheng, this is the last name on the hotel registration book. The target's registered place of birth is Cangzhou, which further confirms Tang Cheng's previous suspicion. We have traveled through a vast land and rich resources, but there are great differences between the north and the south, especially in language and living habits. Japanese intelligence agencies are most accustomed to arranging lurkers to live in Kuomintang-controlled areas in advance, but the language barrier is the biggest trouble for these lurks. Compared with the south, where there are many dialects, Japanese and puppet spies are more suitable to lurk in northern China. Among the many Japanese and puppet spies captured by the search team before, almost all had northern accents.
