Xu Huanshan arrived but still didn't reveal his ultimate goal of finding the Qisehua Group. Tang Cheng was too sensible and didn't ask further. After the two reached an agreement, Xu Huanshan provided the information he currently had to Tang Cheng. The relevant intelligence information provided by He Juntong must be more detailed than the information provided by Xu Huanshan. At least Tang Cheng got a name from the information provided by Xu Huanshan - Yokokawa Kogoro.
"This Yokokawa Kogoro was originally an intelligence staff officer of the Kwantung Army. Later, during a siege against the anti-alliance forces, he was hit in the left eye by a stray bullet. Yokokawa Kogoro, who lost his left eye, returned from Japan two years later. Outside the customs, we don’t want to be favored by the special high school. Our comrades in the Northeast said that this Yokogawa Kogoro is a China expert, and the core of the Colorful Flower Group is this person, because this person is not only an intelligence expert, but also a combat master , very good at assassination.”
When Xu Huanshan introduced this Yokokawa Kogoro, his expression looked very solemn, and he was obviously a little afraid of this Yokokawa Kogoro. But when Tang Cheng heard this, he grinned lightly. "Without my left eye, I don't have to close my eyes to aim when shooting." Tang Cheng's words came so suddenly that Xu Huanshan didn't react immediately. After pausing for a few breaths, Xu Huanshan, who understood, followed with a grin. laugh out loud.
Tangcheng did not ask for the information provided by Xu Huanshan in vain. He also handed over the information provided by the general to Xu Huanshan and gave an explanation. "The military commander knew about this Colorful Flower Group and got the news from the Military Commandery Shanghai Station. It is said that in order to find out what happened to the Colorful Flower Group, the Military Commandery Shanghai Station lost seven or eight good soldiers. However, they did not collect much intelligence. I Right now, we only know the approximate number of people and the number of men and women in this Colorful Flower group, but we don’t have any more specific details.”
"When I came here, my superiors told me that this task was very difficult!" Xu Huanshan, who nodded slightly, also had a serious face at this moment, because he knew that a goal that could make Tang Cheng feel powerless was obviously not difficult. Small. "But I have intelligence here that shows that this Colorful Flower Group will most likely come to Chongqing! But what is their purpose of coming to Chongqing? I don't know yet. The next step will depend on what you, a local snake, do!"
Xu Huanshan was not very sure whether he could track down the Seven-Colored Flower Group. After all, neither the military commander nor his own current information contained much specific information about the Seven-Colored Flower Group. Therefore, he can only place all his hopes on Tangcheng. After Xu Huanshan stopped talking, Tang Cheng nodded happily, but at this moment, facing the restaurant door, Tang Cheng's expression suddenly changed, and he winked at Xu Huanshan.
Xu Huanshan absolutely believed in Tang Cheng, so after seeing Tang Cheng's eyes, Xu Huanshan immediately lowered his head and pretended to be drinking soup. Behind Xu Huanshan, two men in suits suddenly came in at the door of the restaurant. Although both of them were wearing suits, Tang Cheng could tell at a glance that these two men were plainclothes officers of the Central Government. Tang Cheng's memory has always been very good. Tang Cheng had met these two plainclothes officers before, so Tang Cheng recognized them immediately as soon as they entered the door.
Tangcheng recognized the two of them at a glance. At this time, it was still unclear whether these two people were here with a mission or just here to eat. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he warned Xu Huanshan immediately, and Xu Huanshan's reaction was not slow. The two Zhongtong plainclothes who entered the restaurant were obviously here to eat, because they did not notice Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan.
Tang Cheng, who was secretly relieved, immediately took out a pen and paper, left a phone number for Xu Huanshan, and then asked Xu Huanshan to leave first. Xu Huanshan did not delay. After leaving a phone number for Tang Cheng, he got up and left the restaurant. The two plainclothes officers were sitting alone in the corner of the restaurant. When they looked up and looked around the restaurant, they only saw Xu Huanshan's leaving figure. As for Tang Cheng, he completely ignored the glances of the two plainclothes officers and just lit a cigarette and sat quietly.
After smoking a cigarette, Tang Cheng called the restaurant waiter to pay the bill. After he stood up, the two plainclothes officers suddenly realized, but they did not expect to see Tang Cheng in such a place. Tang Cheng and Zhongtong have clashed many times, and each time they have not suffered a loss. Many members of Zhongtong hate Tang Cheng, but they all know in their hearts that a little guy like themselves is definitely no match for Tang Cheng. When Tang Cheng walked out of the restaurant and realized that the two Zhongtong plainclothes men inside had not followed him out, he couldn't help but sigh with disappointment.
Tang Cheng left the restaurant after a few minutes. Xu Huanshan, who came out first, had already disappeared. Tang Cheng, who secretly paid attention to the surrounding situation, walked towards the dock without any pause. No matter whether it is the underground party or the military command, there is no way to confirm whether this Qisehua group has entered Chongqing. Tang Cheng has been wandering around the city these days and has not found any trace of the Qisehua Group, so he concluded that maybe the Qisehua Group has not entered Chongqing at all.
The most convenient way of transportation into Chongqing is by water, so Tang Cheng went to the dock. He planned to stay at the dock for the next few days. At the same time, Xu Huanshan, who left the restaurant first, was already sitting with his contact person. Publicly and privately, Xu Huanshan cannot pin all his hopes of finding the Qisehua Group on Tangcheng, so he still needs the help of Chongqing's underground party organization. After explaining the contents of his trip to Chongqing to his contact, Xu Huanshan did not reveal the existence of Tangcheng or its relationship with him.
When questioned by his contact, Xu Huanshan was vague, saying that he had other news channels in Chongqing, but there was little hope. The Chongqing underground party had long received a telegram from their superiors, but they did not know the true purpose of Xu Huanshan's trip. They only knew that the people sent by their superiors were coming to Chongqing to track down a Japanese and puppet intelligence team. "Some time ago, the search team caught the spies too hard. Now we rarely hear news of spies appearing in the city."
The person who came to contact Xu Huanshan was named Feng Hai, who was the direct superior of Huang Ping, the shopkeeper of Buzhuang. However, the mysterious person who had been maintaining single-line contact with Huang Ping was related to the Chongqing underground party organization, so it was impossible for Feng Hai to transfer the mysterious person's information to the Chongqing underground party organization. Inform Xu Huanshan of the matter. Two days passed quickly, and Tang Cheng, who had been staying on the dock, still found nothing. The Chongqing underground party had also mobilized many insiders, and there was no information related to the Qisehua Group.
Did the military commander get false news? Tang Cheng, who was a little agitated, began to calm down. His first thought was that the information provided by the military commander was false. This Qisehua group did exist, but they may not have gone south to Chongqing. As if to confirm Tang Cheng's idea, just after dinner that night, when Tang Cheng was dragged to the backyard to play chess by Hans, Zhang Jianghe suddenly came to the Tang family and brought bad news.
After listening to Zhang Jianghe's narration, Tang Cheng and Hans secretly looked at each other and then spoke. "So, this Colorful Flower Group had no plan to go south to Chongqing from the beginning. The news conveyed by the Shanghai Station may have been deliberately spread by the Special High School, just to cover up the real intention of the Colorful Flower Group." The judgment given by Tang Cheng was approved by both Hans and Zhang Jianghe. Tang Cheng immediately let out a sigh of relief, "This is a trick to attack the east and attack the west!"
The military command headquarters had just received news from the Tianjin Station two hours ago that the two military command stations in Peking and Tianjin were suddenly encircled and suppressed by the Japanese and puppet intelligence agencies. The Tianjin station operator who had a chance to escape, in the telegram, killed one of the Japanese and puppet intelligence agents who captured them at the time, including the Colorful Flower Group. Tang Cheng originally did not believe the bad news brought by Zhang Jianghe, but when Zhang Jianghe explained that one of the Japanese and puppet agents at the Tianjin Station at the time was wearing an eyepatch on his left eye, Tang Cheng finally believed the bad news. information.
With the information provided by Xu Huanshan, and now coupled with the telegram sent back by the Tianjin Station operator who risked his life, Tang Cheng was filled with disappointment. Tang Cheng was disappointed at the moment because the Qisehua team did not go south to Chongqing. But when he heard Zhang Jianghe say that the bureau chief wanted to go to Tianjin by himself, Tang Cheng immediately rejected Zhang Jianghe. "Uncle, I'm just an ordinary person, not an assassin. You can't just ask me to help you carry out revenge every time you encounter trouble. I can't do that!"
Tang Cheng did not object to killing the Japanese and puppet spies. What he disliked was that the military commander was clearly using him as an assassin. Tang Cheng's rejection was not beyond Zhang Jianghe's expectation. He came to Tang Cheng with the attitude of giving it a try. After Zhang Jianghe left, Hans lowered his voice and said to Tangcheng, "I think this Qisehua group may not have plans to go south to Chongqing!"
Seeing Tang Cheng looking at him with an inquiring look on his face, the proud Hans lit a cigarette first, and then at Tang Cheng's signal, he opened his mouth and continued speaking. "I have read your Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies! Compared with Shanghai and Chongqing, your intelligence stations in Peiping and Tianjin are not that important. Why did the Japanese mobilize so many troops and even use the Seven-Colored Flower? Team, go to encircle and suppress your intelligence stations in Peiping and Tianjin?"
Tang Cheng had not thought of the things Hans mentioned just now. After hearing Hans's rhetorical question, Tang Cheng also felt a trace of doubt in his heart. "I feel that the Japanese may not have used it just once when you just said that they are attacking in the east. My informants in Hongkou District have told me more than once that many Japanese officers in the Military Police Headquarters are secretly studying your Sun Tzu’s Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies.”
